Chapter 1 Transmigrating into a Book and Framing Letters
Beijing City.
Hongxing Military Factory Family Compound.
"Since Shuyi is unwilling to go with the army, then so be it. Zhiyun is a pretty good kid."
"Yes, Zhiyun may have some ulterior motives, but with us here, he can't cause any big trouble."
I could faintly hear some familiar conversations.
Zhiyun?
Who is Zhiyun?
Zhao Shuyi opened her eyes groggily, feeling dizzy and disoriented.
When she saw the scene inside the room, she was completely stunned.
The room was a bit cramped, and there was a bulky desk next to the bed, or perhaps it should be called a writing desk.
On the writing desk was an enamel mug printed with peonies, several books, and several newspapers.
Next to it was a double-door mahogany wardrobe, with a half-length mirror embedded in the old wardrobe.
On the other side of the wardrobe, next to the door, hung a calendar. Zhao Shuyi looked closely and saw four big red characters under a picture of peacocks and plum blossoms: 1965!
1965!
Zhao Shuyi sat up abruptly!
It really was 1965!
She...time-traveled?!
Or have we arrived at some ancient site?
hiss!
It felt like being pricked hard on the head with a needle; countless images flooded into Zhao Shuyi's mind.
She braced herself on the bed, painfully forced to accept memories that were not her own.
She really did time travel!
I transmigrated into a period novel I had been reading.
The novel, set in a historical period, was called "Rebirth of the Little Darling Wife." There was a tragic female supporting character in the book who had the exact same name as her, so she couldn't help but read more of it.
However, unlike her own childhood, where she was neglected by her parents, Zhao Shuyi in the book was born into a scholarly family, was an only child in Shanghai, and had a very good family background. She was pampered by her grandparents from a young age.
But this was a special 1960s.
Having good conditions became a huge mistake, especially since the Zhao couple had studied abroad, which only made things worse.
It is precisely at such times that the best opportunity for those with ulterior motives to exploit loopholes arises.
Through the machinations of her friend Xu Wanxia and Zhao's father's student Gao Zhiyun, the original owner of this body married Gao Zhiyun.
Thus began her tragic life.
Thinking of the original owner's fate in the book, Zhao Shuyi couldn't help but shudder.
According to her current memories, the original owner seemed to have many precognitive dreams, and then she was filled with anxiety and died of a high fever, which is why she herself transmigrated into this body.
I don't know if the original owner really went or if she transmigrated into my body.
What on earth is going on?
After a moment, Zhao Shuyi sighed and said, "Don't worry, I will absolutely not let the tragedy repeat itself."
No one responded to her.
The conversation outside continued.
"Then we'll give the things to Zhiyun. Shuyi is simple-minded and can't keep them hidden."
"Well, with those things, Zhiyun will probably treat Shuyi better."
"Then I'll go mail the letter first."
letter? !
Zhao Shuyi was startled.
Could this be a letter announcing the annulment of the engagement?
No, we can't send it out!
Zhao Shuyi hurriedly got out of bed, but then, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, she collapsed to the ground.
hiss--
"Shuyi!"
The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged couple with good manners rushed in.
Zhao Shuyi was helped up, still feeling dizzy.
"Shuyi, are you alright?" Zhao's mother asked, her brows furrowed with worry.
Zhao Shuyi shook her head and subconsciously hid her hands behind her back. The action was so obvious that the couple noticed it immediately.
"Oh dear, you're bleeding." Zhao's mother took her hand with heartache and blew on it to warm it up.
Zhao's father quickly went out and brought in the mercurochrome.
It was just a minor scratch, but the couple went to great lengths, applying medicine and comforting her.
Zhao Shuyi had never received such treatment since she could remember, and her eyes welled up with tears without her noticing.
"Why are you crying? Does it hurt? Don't cry, don't cry."
Zhao's mother embraced Zhao Shuyi, and feeling the warmth of the embrace, she couldn't hold back her emotions.
The panic of time travel, the resentment towards her biological parents over the years, and the sympathy for the original owner's plight all erupted in an instant, and Zhao Shuyi's tears flowed uncontrollably.
This greatly worried the Zhao couple.
It took the couple a long time to comfort Zhao Shuyi before she came to her senses.
"Dad, Mom, I'm willing to go to Yunnan Province."
Many years ago, Grandpa Zhao arranged a marriage for Zhao Shuyi, whose fiancé is now a military officer stationed in Yunnan Province.
He came to propose marriage in April, but at that time the original owner had already been tricked into wanting to marry Gao Zhiyun, so she couldn't refuse him in person. She only said that she would write to him within two months to inform him of the result.
The letter your parents just mentioned must be the rejection letter.
No, even if she doesn't marry him, she can't stay in Beijing for the time being. In this era where you need a letter of introduction to go anywhere, going to Yunnan Province is the best choice.
"What? You're willing to go to Yunnan Province? Didn't you say you didn't like Gu Yan?"
The couple exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with even deeper worry.
"Shuyi, your father and I have already discussed it. If you don't want to go, that's fine. Actually, Zhiyun is a pretty good kid."
"No, no, no... No, I can't." Zhao Shuyi shook her head repeatedly, almost fainting again.
"Oh dear, don't shake her, don't shake her." Zhao's mother supported Zhao Shuyi. At this moment, she realized that her daughter seemed to be serious, and advised, "Shuyi, don't rush, tell us slowly, we still have time to think about it."
They had only heard that something was wrong, and that the fire hadn't yet reached the factory or research institute, but they were always worried that the situation would get worse.
So they need to start preparing first.
Zhao Shuyi took a deep breath and said, "Dad, Mom, it's too late! We have to make arrangements immediately."
Suddenly remembering something, she looked at Zhao's father and said, "Dad, could you please go and bring in the statue of the great man from the main room?"
Zhao's father was stunned for a moment, a look of confusion on his face.
“Just go when I tell you to!” Zhao’s mother patted him on the shoulder, unconditionally supporting her daughter.
Zhao Shuyi wanted to cry again, but she held back.
She felt very uncomfortable in such a warm and cozy family environment.
With a tender touch, Zhao's mother tidied up the stray hairs on Zhao Shuyi's forehead and then patted her forehead.
"Why is she so sick this time? It seems the fever has subsided. She should be fine after taking another pill and taking a nap."
"I'm fine now, I just felt dizzy because I slept for too long."
Zhao's mother said indulgently, "Then don't sleep. Take a walk in the yard for a while, and don't catch a cold."
Zhao Shuyi took her mother's arm and muttered, "I'll listen to Mom."
"You, getting sick makes you act like a child again. Why isn't your dad coming in yet?" she called out. "Old Zhao, what are you dawdling about?"
Zhao Shuyi's smile faded, and she vaguely guessed what was happening outside.
Sure enough, a while later Zhao's father entered the room with a dark face and two pieces of paper in his hand.
"Didn't I tell you to bring the portrait? What did you bring?"
Zhao's mother looked over in confusion. When Zhao's father approached, she took the two slightly yellowed papers. When she saw the contents, her pupils suddenly contracted.
"this……"
As fellow intellectuals who had spent several years abroad, Zhao's mother was naturally able to understand the contents of the paper.
They are forged foreign language letters and correspondence between them and their relatives overseas, containing some reactionary remarks.
She thought of it almost instantly.
"It's...it's Gao Zhiyun."
There was no need for investigation at all. The only person who could enter their house and knew about their overseas activities was Gao Zhiyun.
The couple were both very cautious at work and rarely discussed work matters outside the research institute.
Therefore, this person must be Gao Zhiyun.
"Why him!" Zhao's mother exclaimed, somewhat agitated.
Anyone would probably find it hard to understand. The couple didn't necessarily treat Gao Zhiyun like their own son, but they certainly took good care of him.
They shared their knowledge generously and took care of him diligently in his life. They even wanted to entrust him with their beloved daughter and the family's last resort. But they never expected that he would turn out to be such an ungrateful wretch.
"Thank goodness!" Zhao's mother looked up at Zhao's father with lingering fear.
Zhao's father understood instantly.
"Yes, thankfully."
Fortunately, they hadn't handed everything over yet.
Fortunately, they hadn't pushed their daughter into the fire.
