Chapter 1 Traveling through time, or still having a vicious stepmother?
"I never thought Xiao Yu would be such a person and would abuse children."
"Yeah, but I really can't tell. Beibei's thighs are covered in bruises from her pinching. Don't stepmothers have good habits?"
"North North"
"If the child's grandmother hadn't discovered it, I'm afraid no one would have noticed it yet."
"I haven't done anything to her yet, but she fainted first, and she still wants me to stay with her. I really don't want to bother with people like this."
"It's Captain Gu's fault that he's not here, and you're the Women's Director of our compound. If you don't take care of this matter, who will? When Xiaoyu wakes up, you still have to teach her a lesson!"
Can the dead hear others speak?
The conversation between the two women reached Yu Hui's ears, and she slowly raised a question mark in her mind?
No, she is already dead, how can she still be conscious?
While she was being rescued in the hospital and lost consciousness at the last moment, she heard the doctor read out her time of death.
"The patient, Yu Hui, died at 1:26 PM on February 15, 2024."
"Nurse, the IV drip is finished."
Not long after hearing this, Yu Hui felt a pain on the back of her hand. She had experienced this kind of pain from having a needle pulled out countless times and was very familiar with it.
She is not dead?
An idea popped into her mind.
She tried to open her eyes, but was blinded by the sudden light and quickly closed them again.
He squinted his eyes for a while before opening them again.
What caught the eye was the grayish-white and somewhat mottled ceiling, and an old-fashioned chandelier covered with a bowl, so old that Yu Hui had only seen it in period dramas.
"?" Yu Hui blinked. This was not the city hospital where she worked at all!
She looked down and saw a blue and white striped quilt that looked a bit stiff and old.
She glanced around the ward and found that there were four beds opposite her, but only two of them were occupied by two people: one was sleeping and the other was sitting on the bed, wearing a blue Dacron jacket that she had only seen in TV dramas in the 1970s.
Where am I?
As soon as she asked this question in her mind, her head felt a sharp pain and a memory that did not belong to her flooded into her mind.
These memories played like slides in her mind, allowing her to experience Yu Hui's short and miserable life in a very short period of time.
She traveled through time and came to the body of a little girl named "Yu Hui" who had the same name and surname as her and was also an orphan in 1978.
Before Yu Hui could recover from the shock of time travel and accept the fact that she had traveled to the 1970s, she heard someone next to her say, "Hey, you're awake."
When she turned her head, she saw two women wearing Dacron plaid shirts. One of them had short hair and pinned the hair on both sides behind her ears with hairpins. She looked to be in her forties, with a dark skin, but she looked very energetic.
The other one was younger, looking to be in his thirties, with a long braid, an oval face, and a look of contempt.
It is not difficult to see that this contempt is directed at oneself.
Yu Hui searched the original owner's memory and found out that the older one was the women's director of the military compound, named Sun Tieying, and was the wife of Deputy Commander Zhou of the army.
The younger one is Wen Zhaodi, the wife of Officer Wu from the army. Gu Huai introduced her to the original owner when she and her husband Gu Huai held a wedding banquet in the military district cafeteria.
Yes, the little girl she traveled through time to was not an ordinary girl. She was a military wife and her husband was a battalion commander.
When she was less than 20 years old, she married 29-year-old Gu Huai and had three stepsons and one stepdaughter.
"How are you feeling, Xiaoyu?" Although Sun Tieying hated this vicious stepmother, she still showed some concern on her face.
How are you feeling?
Hearing her ask this, Yu Hui felt her body. Apart from feeling a little dizzy, she had no other discomfort.
But this is also the best physical condition I have felt after being ill for more than ten years. This is a healthy physical state, which has been long overdue.
"Much better." The voice still followed the original owner's body habits, a little timid.
Hearing that she was much better, Sun Tieying also breathed a sigh of relief. Now that she was much better, she could go home and he didn't have to stay with her anymore.
"Yu Hui, tell me, how could you be so cruel to a child? You abused a one-year-old. What did the child do wrong?"
"You are so young, how can you be so cruel?" Wen Zhaodi accused Yu Hui from a moral high ground.
Sun Tieying glanced at Wen Zhaodi, then frowned and looked at Yu Hui with a reproachful expression. "Xiao Yu, Captain Gu is not at home, and it's not easy for you to take care of four children alone. But if you have any difficulties, you can tell the organization. How can you abuse children?"
Yu Hui closed her eyes and said, "I didn't abuse the child. The bruises on Beibei's legs were not caused by me."
The reason why the original owner went to the hospital was because this morning, the grandmother of the four children came to visit the children and found bruises on the legs of the youngest child, Gu Beibei. She yelled and said that the original owner was abusing the children.
No matter how the original owner explained, the children's grandmother Qin Shulan didn't believe it and even called everyone else in the compound to come.
The eldest son Gu Dong and the second son Gu Nan also said in front of everyone that the original owner abused them and did not give them meat to eat.
The original owner was an orphan who had never been to school and was illiterate. He grew up eating at other people's homes.
He was honest and introverted. Facing the accusations and contemptuous looks of the crowd, he had no way to defend himself. He fainted and was sent to the hospital by people in the compound.
Then, she came.
There is no such thing as child abuse. The original owner followed Gu Huai's mother to the city in order to repay her for taking care of her. She married the divorced Gu Huai, became his stepmother, and helped him take care of his four children.
Although the children did not like her as a stepmother and were very hostile to her, she had always done her best to take care of the four children. There was no such thing as not giving the children meat to eat, and there was no such thing as abusing them.
The bruises on Gu Beibei's legs were not caused by her pinching. The child was fine when she changed the diaper in the morning. After the child's grandmother held the child for a while, she said there were bruises on the leg.
Yu Hui reasonably suspected that the bruises on Gu Beibei's legs were caused by the child's grandmother Qin Shulan, who put the blame on the original owner.
As for the two children saying that the original owner didn't give them meat, it was because they were hostile to the original owner, and after the original owner came, they ate meat less, so they said that.
The original owner was a poor and honest little girl, but she was wrongly accused to death by them.
A feeling of depression was stuck in Yu Hui's chest, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Who else could it be if not you?" Wen Zhaodi sneered, looking at Yu Hui with more and more contempt.
She did it but didn't dare to admit it. Well, if she did admit it, Captain Gu would come back to settle the score with her after returning from his studies in Beijing.
But even if she denied it, so many people in the compound saw it, and Captain Gu would not forgive her.
"It's Qin Shulan." Regardless of whether they believed it or not, Yu Hui still said it.
Sure enough, the two of them looked at her with outrageous expressions.
"Xiao Yu, I'm going to say something to you, Sister Sun. I know you're afraid Captain Gu will blame you when he comes back, but you can't just put the blame on the child's grandmother, can you?"
"That's the child's grandmother. How could she possibly strangle her own granddaughter?"
Yu Hui sneered, "So I can strangle the child, just because I'm a stepmother? In your eyes, stepmothers are inherently vicious, and they deserve to be wrongly accused to death by you, right?"
