Chapter 1 Awakening from a Dream



"Mom, go with peace of mind."

"I've grown up, got married and started my own family. Dad has retired, and you don't need to worry about the family anymore."

In front of the hospital bed, Lin Yuyao's daughter, who had taken care of her for half her life, personally removed her oxygen mask.

She died at the age of fifty, from overwork.

Or... angry to death.

But her consciousness did not disappear immediately after death, and she clearly heard them all breathe a sigh of relief.

The daughter said to Lu Jiangting, "My mother is finally dead. Dad, you should marry her. My mother is dead, and you don't have to feel guilty anymore. We still have a few decades to go, and we should live a good life as a family."

The mother she was referring to was Fang Qing, her daughter's mother-in-law.

She is also the widow of Lu Jiangting's comrade-in-arms, the woman he protected all his life.

Lu Jiangting and Fang Qing were so moved that they hugged each other and cried, "Jiangting, we can finally be together."

Lu Jiangting sighed, "Fortunately, my daughter is filial and sensible, and was not led astray by Lin Yuyao."

At this moment Lin Yuyao realized that they were a family and she was the sinner who prevented their family happiness.

Lin Yuyao couldn't swallow her last breath. She was unwilling to accept that she had been working for others all her life.

She worked hard all her life to make her husband successful, and the daughter she raised with great difficulty became Fang Qing's daughter-in-law.

The next second, she seemed to wake up from a dream. Suddenly, all the pain in her body was gone and her mind became unusually clear.

In front of her was the young Lu Jiangting, tall and handsome, and at this moment, every part of him was in her heart.

And what he said made her sober up immediately.

"Lin Yuyao, what are you doing? I've already told you that there's nothing wrong between Fang Qing and me."

This sentence is so familiar, it seems like I have heard it countless times.

And the past is like a dream.

She now seemed to have awakened from a dream.

Lin Yuyao pinched the back of her hand hard, and the pain made her more awake.

"Nothing?"

Lin Yuyao looked at the money in Fang Qing's hand, a thick stack.

The money originally intended for the wedding now appeared in Fang Qing's hands.

Yesterday, Lu Jiangting told her hesitantly that the marriage should be put on hold for the time being.

Let her lie to her parents and say that the army had a temporary mission and he had to go back to the army, and he would make up for the wedding next time he came back.

He said that one of his comrades' father was sick and he didn't have enough money, so he lent out his wedding money.

This is to save lives, let her understand.

Well, human life is more important than anything else, and she understood.

However, today, she ran into Lu Jiangting giving the money to Fang Qing.

She didn't know that Fang Qing was the father of his dying comrade-in-arms.

"Yuyao, you misunderstood me and Jiang Ting. This money is... I borrowed it from Jiang Ting. I will pay it back when I have more money. If you don't want to, I... or I will return it to you now."

Fang Qing looked like she had suffered a lot of injustice, holding a thick stack of money in her hand.

He stretched out his hand and said he would give it back to her, but his hand was so tight that it seemed like it was about to break.

Just like she had always told her, there was nothing between her and Lu Jiangting.

But she clung to him like an octopus and refused to let go.

Next to him was Lu Jiangting, Lin Yuyao's fiancé, who was protecting Fang Qing behind him.

He looked at her impatiently, his eyes full of warnings.

It seemed as if he would give her a taste of his power if she dared to reach out to take it.

Lin Yuyao stared at the scene in silence. It was exactly the same as the dream she had.

Everything in the dream was so real that even after waking up she could still remember every detail, as if she had really experienced it herself.

Today's scene of borrowing money matched the one in my dream, and everything they said was exactly the same.

She immediately realized that the dream was not a simple dream.

In the dream, Fang Qing would not pay back the money.

I won’t pay it back today, nor in the future…or even in my lifetime.

Not only that, from now on, Fang Qing would take half of Lu Jiangting's monthly salary, and Lu Jiangting would keep half for himself and send the other half back to her hometown.

She lived a comfortable life all her life with Lu Jiangting's money and the pension from her late husband Wang Jianjun.

Although she was a few years older than me, when she was old, she looked twenty years younger than me.

Because I farm at home, I get up earlier than the chickens and sleep later than the dogs every day.

In order to fulfill her filial duty to Lu Jiangting, she served her parents-in-law until her death.

Moreover, she raised a daughter who was always sick by herself.

Perhaps it was because her life was too poor, she was tied down by her children and Lu Jiangting's parents, and had to live a hard life relying on a quarter of Lu Jiangting's salary.

She has been cultivating her daughter's independence since she was young, telling her that it is better to rely on herself than on others and that she must never follow her old path.

She raised her daughter to be very talented and she started her own company at a young age.

However, the daughter she raised with great effort eventually married Fang Qing's son.

Even though Fang Qing's son had accomplished nothing and failed to get into school, Lu Jiangting used his connections to get him a job in the army.

But he did not fight for it and came back after a few years.

After he got out, he worked as a security guard.

In order to ensure that the useless guy would have no worries in his life, Lu Jiangting personally acted as a matchmaker.

He said this was an agreement he and Fang Qing's deceased husband Wang Jianjun made in their early years.

He couldn't break his promise just because the person was dead, so he asked her to fulfill her promise.

Fang Qing was her lifelong nightmare. She tried madly to stop her, but it was useless and she even became separated from her daughter.

After they got married, the gigolo son-in-law brought Fang Qing into their home on the grounds that his mother was alone and helpless.

So she became the old mother who took care of the whole family. When she was only in her fifties, she was hospitalized due to overwork, and her daughter removed her oxygen mask with her own hands.

Thinking of the pitiful self in the dream, Lin Yuyao couldn't help but burst into tears.

Seeing her crying, Lu Jiangting showed a trace of guilt on his face, but that trace of guilt was too little and flashed by.

Then he used anger to cover up his guilt.

"I lent her the money because Jianjun saved my life. He died, and I couldn't just watch his wife and children starve to death. Lin Yuyao, can you understand? Who are you crying for? It's like I bullied you."

This pair of dogs, isn’t this bullying?

In the dream, she suffered a lot of injustice. If she didn't change, that would be her life from now on.

No, Lin Yuyao would not let herself walk on such a path full of suffering.

In reality, she would never let herself suffer any injustice.

If anyone doesn't make her life better, she will give them ten times as much.

As for that scumbag Lu Jiangting, she would not marry him again even if he knelt down and begged her.

"Lu Jiangting, do you think you have taken good care of Fang Qing and her son?"

Lu Jiangting was stunned, not knowing why she asked that.

"Of course, I've told you so many times, Jianjun saved my life."

Lin Yuyao smiled, "Since you are honest, why did you lie to me?"

Lu Jiangting: "..."

"I was afraid you would be angry, but it was wrong to lie to you."

It's rare that he knows he is wrong.

Lin Yuyao wiped away her tears and said calmly, "Well, forget about you lying to me. I forgive you."

Lu Jiangting was stunned. He never expected that she would just say forget it?

Fang Qing was also a little confused.

Based on her understanding of Lin Yuyao, she would definitely make a big fuss.

If she gave him some more considerate advice, her considerate nature would be in stark contrast to Lin Yuyao's shrewish behavior. Lu Jiangting would definitely hate her more and more, and it would be best if he hated her so much that he would not marry her.

I never expected that Lin Yuyao would just let this go.

She smiled awkwardly and said, "Really? That's great, Yuyao, thank you."

"Hmm." Lin Yuyao hummed softly and looked at the money in her hand, "How much is it?"

"This... I didn't even have time to count before you bumped in, Yuyao."

Yes, Lin Yuyao bumped right in.

She is shopping, preparing to buy some things for her wedding.

She met a neighbor who told her that she saw her son Lu Jiangting go to Fang Qing's house.

So she went straight to Fang Qing's house. She didn't have to use much strength, but she broke open Fang Qing's small wooden door.

Lin Yuyao looked at Lu Jiangting, "How much money?"

Lu Jiangting hesitated, "I don't know either."

Well, you didn’t even count it and just gave it to her. And you still have the nerve to say it was a loan?

"Count them," she said.

Fang Qing was about to fall, "Yuyao, I will return it, you don't have to insult me."

[Setting warning: The heroine is not traveling through time and space, nor is she purely reborn. It is a dream that is close to reality, so she is still herself (she is not a 50-something aunt). Coming back to life is like a big dream, and the dream is real, just like experiencing it in person. ]
