May 1971

In a park in the town, a man and a woman sat at opposite ends of a bench, with a galaxy between them.

The man was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, wearing a military uniform and looking serious. The woman was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, with her hair tied in two pigtails. She looked young and pretty, but her eyes were a little straight, as if she was out of her body.

There was silence between the two for a long time. The man seemed to be unable to hold back. He glanced at the woman beside him and took the initiative to speak: "Comrade Jiang, my situation is special. I'm sure the person who introduced me to you has already said that I don't ask for a very good woman. I just hope that she can take good care of the family and accompany the army after marriage..."

Jiang Xi came back to his senses. After hearing these words, a flash of embarrassment flashed across his face. He whispered, "I'm sorry. My uncle forced me to come here today."

The man's eyes darkened, and his handsome features showed a bit of disappointment. He pursed his lips and said, "Comrade Jiang, you can think about it again. I am now a battalion commander, and my monthly allowance is 75 yuan. It will increase in the future. I will give it to you for safekeeping after we get married."

"Sorry." Jiang Xi said again.

The man sighed helplessly: "Then I will take Comrade Jiang back."

"No, no." Jiang Xi shook her head quickly, stood up, bowed to him apologetically, and strode away. The man looked at her impatient back, shook his head a little impatiently, but still followed her, wanting to see her off.

But before he had taken two steps, a figure ran over and bumped into him. Then he was knocked crooked by his hard body and fell to the ground, crying out in pain: "Ouch!"

The man stopped and asked hesitantly: "Comrade, are you okay?"

The girl looked up, looking at the man who was only 17 or 18 years old, with a bit of youthful shyness: "No, nothing..." She wanted to stand up, but as soon as she stood up, her feet went weak, and this time she fell straight into the man's arms: "I think I sprained my foot, comrade, can you take me to the clinic to get medicine?"

The man thought about it and nodded: "Okay."

The two of them supported each other and left, attracting a lot of attention. Some of them seemed to be staring at them. The man felt uncomfortable with these looks, but the girl lowered her eyes and showed a hint of smile.

Jiang Xi didn't know what happened there after she left.

She is now in a state of confusion.

I actually traveled through a book!

Just ten minutes ago, Jiang Xi clearly remembered that she was hit by a car. She didn't even have time to feel the pain. When she opened her eyes, she was already on a bench. There was also a new memory in her mind, the unfortunate seventeen years of life of an eldest daughter who grew up under the oppression of her mother who supported her brother.

The original owner was named Jiang Xi, with the same name and surname as her and the same appearance.

Born in 1954, now it is 1971, she is seventeen years old, and has two younger sisters, born by her mother in an attempt to have a son. Unfortunately, she was not destined to have a son, but fortunately, the original owner's father did not discriminate against girls and treated his three daughters equally well.

However, the original owner's father passed away three years ago, and her mother was a brother-supporting demon, thinking all day long about helping her useless brother. In the past, the original owner's father suppressed her, so everything was fine. In the past three years, the original owner's mother became even more aggressive, and all the valuable things in the house were sent to her parents' home.

The original owner was not alone, she also had two younger sisters, one ten years old and the other seven years old. They lived on the money her father earned from working as a worker and the allowance from his death. Now, she has been sucked dry by her uncle and can no longer make a living.

Originally, the original owner had reached the age where she could have relied on the marriage arranged by her father to live in peace. However, her fiancé was sent back in a coma a month ago. Although he came with a large sum of compensation, he has been in a coma ever since. The original owner's uncle felt that they would never get the money. The daily medical expenses for an unconscious person were unknown. It was not a good idea for her to marry her to a niece who was in high school.

It just so happened that the uncle heard that a battalion commander in the neighboring brigade wanted to marry a second wife and raise the three children left by his father. The original owner's uncle was tempted. He was the battalion commander, and it would be convenient for his son to join the army in the future. So he persuaded the original owner's mother to take her to a blind date.

This is how the scene just now happened.

The battalion commander's name was Lu Jianguo. He had just told Jiang Xi this when he introduced himself. She was stunned after hearing this name, because of the name, plus the name Jiang Xi, the Jiang family's terrible family, and the original owner's fiancé Pei Hejun.

A series of events made Jiang Xi realize that he had crossed into a book.

I was transported to a novel about the stepmother era that I had read before, and became the female supporting role that contrasts with the heroine in the novel!

The heroine Qin Yue in the book is reborn. She and Jiang Xi are high school classmates. However, unlike Jiang's annoying family, Qin Yue's family is not particularly poor. It's just that she is getting old and is being urged to get married.

In her previous life, Qin Yue fell in love with a gigolo who was a worker. After she got married, she was always bullied by her mother-in-law, and the relationship between her and her husband was also soured. Later, her husband cheated on her, and she was abandoned after giving birth to a daughter. Her later years were very miserable.

After her rebirth, Qin Yue knew that Lu Jianguo would be a leader in the future, so he married Jiang Xi. Even though his wife was a supporter of her uncle, he still stayed with her. His three sons became bigwigs in various industries. The whole family was rich and envied others.

She found herself reborn at a time when Lu Jianguo and Jiang Xi were still unmarried, so she went on a blind date with Lu Jianguo, and the two hit it off and got married. She happily became a stepmother and worked hard to cultivate relationships with her three sons. Even though all three were little devils, she was confident that she could conquer them all.

The article was full of the chaotic daily life of raising a child, and Jiang Xi couldn't stand it. She hated naughty children. After quickly reading about the experience of a female supporting character with the same name as herself, she decisively gave up. It was too depressing.

The female character Jiang Xi in the book failed in her blind date with Lu Jianguo due to her family situation and her honest personality. When she returned, everyone knew that she had abandoned her fiancé in distress and her reputation was ruined. In order to get the bride price, her uncle hastily married her to another divorced man as a stepmother and raised children.

Later, the supporting actress Jiang Ximing was stubborn and continued to support her uncle, stealing things from her husband's family and giving them to her uncle. She was soft-hearted and had no opinion, and her stepson was noisy. She couldn't control him, and her husband didn't care either, resulting in her stepson growing up to be a gangster. Because she gave too much to her uncle, she was divorced and sent home.

Her uncle, who had gotten enough benefits, didn't want her anymore and finally committed suicide by jumping into the river. It was her fiancé's mother, who she had abandoned, who helped bury her.

Her two younger sisters were also sold as child brides at a young age and each of them suffered a miserable end.

Jiang Xi was furious at the time.

Now that she has really become the supporting actress Jiang Xi, she is still full of anger.

I don't know whether it was her bad luck or luck that she traveled to this era and became such an unlucky person.

In front of him was his mother who supported his brother, and behind him were two younger sisters who had not yet grown up. The year was 1971. Although it was not the era of eating from the same pot, it was also an era when people worked collectively and could not trade freely.

How could a Chinese medicine doctor who was so weak that she couldn't even light a fire, cook, or farm... survive in this era of destroying the four olds? !

Jiang Xi shuddered and felt that the future was bleak.

On the way back, her steps were particularly heavy.

I have to leave this house as soon as possible.

It’s not that the original owner’s mother didn’t love the original owner, she just loved her brother more. After being brainwashed for nearly forty years, Jiang Xi felt that he could not be saved, and the most important thing was to save his life first.

The first thing to do to save your life is to leave this deformed family.

In that era, rural girls didn't even have their own household registration. The Jiang family was poor, and the original owner had saved up only RMB 1.5 in private money for three years, which she had saved from sewing shoe soles for others. She thought she would use it as a dowry when the time came. Her mother definitely didn't prepare a dowry for her.

If you have no money and no status and want to leave home, the only way is probably to get married.

However, even in this situation, Jiang Xi did not want to marry Lu Jianguo and become his stepmother.

She had never married and had children in her previous life, and in this life, she had never even held hands with anyone of the opposite sex except her father. She would feel embarrassed to marry someone and become a stepmother, so even though she knew the road ahead would be difficult, she still refused Lu Jianguo's advances.

You won't suffer a loss if you marry a first-time husband. As for whether the first-time husband is good or not, it doesn't matter because there will be no feelings anyway.

If things go well, they can continue living together. If things go badly, they can just get divorced. By that time, she must have saved up enough capital to support herself in this era.

Jiang Xi was thinking as she slowly walked to Jiangjia Village. She was so tired as she had never walked such a long distance before. Her legs felt like they were filled with lead and she just wanted to go home to drink some water and rest.

However, things did not go as she wished. As soon as she walked near her home, she found that there were many people surrounding it.

Everyone was craning their necks to look at something, pointing and discussing, as if they were watching a lively event.

Jiang Xi quickened his pace and walked over. He saw a middle-aged woman with gray hair at the gate of his yard. She pointed at the original owner's mother angrily and said, "I really didn't expect you to be such a person! My son hasn't even died yet, and you're so anxious for your daughter to find a new home!"

Jiang's mother was yelled at until her face turned red. She also knew that this was not a decent thing to do, so she felt guilty and her voice revealed her lack of confidence: "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, can we come in and talk?"

The woman sneered: "I won't enter your dirty house! Zhang Xiuyun, I misjudged you!"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Tears welled up in her eyes. "I really regret being so nice to you and your daughter! Return the money you gave Jiang Xi for her schooling, and the meat I sent her during the holidays! I thought you had lost your husband and your family was without a man, so I had to take care of you. I didn't expect that you would be taking care of such an ungrateful person!"

"Ever since the third child got into trouble, did I ever say anything about letting Xiaoxi marry me? Didn't I love this child, but I never said anything? And how did you treat me? If you had been more generous and wanted to cancel the engagement, I would have thought better of it. But you did something like this secretly..."

The woman didn't swear, but her voice was loud and full of resentment, and she yelled at Jiang's mother Zhang Xiuyun so much that she didn't dare to talk back and could only cry. Coupled with the strange looks from the people around who were watching the excitement, Jiang's mother felt as if she was being roasted on fire.

This woman is the mother of the original owner’s abandoned fiancé, and she is also the person who collected the original owner’s body in the book.

Jiang Xi's heart moved.

The original fiancé, Pei Hejun, was chosen by Jiang's father before he died. He and Pei's father were good friends. Pei Hejun was not young at all, and marriage had always been his concern. It happened that Jiang's father was worried about his wife and made arrangements for his eldest daughter in advance, thinking that the Pei family would help her in the future.

Facts proved that he was right. During the three years since Jiang's father left, the Pei family had indeed been taking care of the Jiang family. The original owner's high school tuition and book fees were all paid by the Pei family, and the two younger sisters were also taken care of by them.

even……

Jiang Xi lowered her head. She was wearing a pair of black cloth shoes. These shoes were made by Pei's mother. She was worried that her son was in the army and would only come back once a year. She was afraid that her daughter-in-law would be unhappy, so she coaxed and pampered her in advance so that she could live a good life with her son in the future.

Not surprisingly, the original owner and Pei Hejun would get married this year.

However, Pei Hejun got into trouble.

Jiang Xi didn't know whether this happened to the original owner of the book after she came back from a blind date, but at this moment, looking at the woman with a face full of sadness and old age, her heart ached and her face became hot.

The original owner must have been ashamed, but she was timid and did not dare to resist.

Jiang Xi is not such a person. She was worrying about how to escape from the wolf's den, but the appearance of Pei's mother made her eyes light up. Besides, the Pei family had been kind to the original owner. It was neither reasonable nor moral for her to stab the Pei family in the back at this time.

Thinking of this, Pei's mother had already scolded enough, but she also knew that this matter could not be changed. No girl would marry a man who might die soon. She came here today just because she was angry that the Jiang family rebelled so quickly and secretly went to see this matter.

Mother Pei glared at the other person fiercely, with red and swollen eyes, and wanted to leave in despair: "Forget it, a forced melon is not sweet, Zhang Xiuyun, you return all the things of my Pei family, otherwise don't even think about letting Jiang Xi marry someone else--"

Jiang Xi hurried forward, pulled Pei's mother and said, "Auntie, I won't marry anyone else. I'm already engaged to Third Brother Pei, and I won't marry anyone else!"

Everyone took a deep breath and widened their eyes: "!!!"

She, she's crazy?!
