Qin Suyun was dreaming, she had a very strange dream.
The dream was all white, and she felt her mind was in a daze, like a rusty law, creaking and moving with difficulty. She wanted to leave here, but found that she couldn't move.
I don’t know how long it took.
Qin Suyun saw another self in her dream, wearing the black suit she usually wore when working at the TV station, and walked into the bedroom. Just like when she got off work as usual, she could even feel the fatigue on the other person's body, as well as the feeling of satisfaction and happiness in his heart.
Yes!
She is very happy!
She has a husband who loves her and is successful in his career, and a warm family. Although they have no children, she feels a little regretful.
But it doesn't matter.
She thought she would have a child of her own soon, and she planned to talk to her husband about it today...
The reason they didn't have children wasn't because they were infertile, but because when they first got married, their careers were unstable and their financial situation wasn't good, so it wasn't suitable for them to have a child. So, they delayed it for five years.
She and her husband Chen Zhou grew up together and were neighbors. She married Chen Zhou right after graduating at the age of 21. Chen Zhou was three years older than her. The ancestors of both families were villagers in the same village outside Yunhai City. They had known each other for decades and had a neighborly relationship. So even though her parents died in an accident when she was in high school, her parents-in-law did not despise her for being an orphan, and even loved her more.
Qin Suyun was very grateful and cherished all of this...
In the dream, I curled up the corners of my mouth slightly, as if thinking of the little life that was about to be born.
Qin Suyun's mood seemed to be affected by herself in the dream, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
…………
Soon, the bedroom door was opened.
The person who walked into the room was her husband Chen Zhou, a man who was not very handsome but very gentle. He was tall and thin. Even if he was thrown into a crowd, she would be able to recognize him at the first sight.
At this time, Chen Zhou's expression was not very good. He frowned tightly and looked extremely ugly.
"Azhou, what's wrong with you?" I asked worriedly in my dream.
Chen Zhou shook his head, forced a faint smile, and comforted her: "It's nothing, don't worry, I will take care of the company's affairs."
"What's going on? We are husband and wife, you should tell me!" Her heart was lifted up. In her dream, she walked to Chen Zhou and raised her hand to hold her husband's hand.
Chen Zhou glanced at her and sighed slowly: "Suyun, there was a problem with a design drawing the company made last month. Several people died on the construction site, and they need to pay more than 6 million in compensation. So the company is likely to go bankrupt..."
Chen Zhou's design company was co-founded by them after they got married. Initially, she worked daily as his assistant, running around. Even the two most talented designers in the company today were recruited by her. It wasn't until the company got off the ground, which took three years, that she was able to resume her full-time job at the TV station.
"It's okay, we can start over! I believe you can do it!" The self in the dream was shocked and hurriedly comforted her husband.
It doesn’t matter if they lose the money, as long as the people are still there, they will definitely be able to develop.
"Suyun!" Chen Zhou's face was full of emotion and he held her hands tightly.
At this moment, my mother-in-law, Liang Ping, suddenly knocked on the door and walked in. Her face was grim, and she said unhappily, "Bankruptcy?! Your company will never go bankrupt! I heard that the old house is going to be demolished soon!"
"Before the notice is issued, your father and I can fake a divorce and get more household registration fees. We don't want any of this. We will exchange it all for demolition and resettlement fees, plus all the family savings. If there is any money missing, we will make up for it! That will be enough!"
"Mom! Even if you and Dad divorce, you're still short of over 600,000 yuan! Who can I borrow it from?" Chen Zhou disagreed, shook his head and sighed, "Mom, forget it!"
"Then you and Suyun should also get a fake divorce! That way you can get more resettlement money! Adding up another hundred thousand or so will be enough. After you get this money, you can remarry!"
In her dream, she heard her mother-in-law Liang Ping's words and wanted to object, but she couldn't utter a word. Her husband, her parents-in-law, and her husband had always been very kind to her, so she really shouldn't put them in a difficult position. Although she was still a little hesitant, looking at her husband's expectant, yet guilt-ridden eyes, and thinking about her own happy and fulfilling life... In the dream, she finally gave in to their persuasion and nodded in agreement.
The company is the hard work of both of them, and she doesn't want it to disappear just like that.
In order to avoid suspicion from others, the two had a fierce quarrel in front of many neighbors that night.
The next morning, they went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce. Because it was just a fake divorce, they didn't argue much about their property. All the valuables were left at home. In the dream, she just took her daily clothes and left...
Before leaving, he took out the 300,000 yuan he had saved over the past five years and the more than 400,000 yuan left by his parents and gave them to Chen Zhou.
She asked for leave from the TV station and, according to Chen Zhou's plan, returned to her grandmother's hometown in the countryside to avoid everyone's attention. She would wait until the matter was completely calmed down before going back.
Apart from phone calls, she never met her husband again, for fear that they would be discovered by others. In the dream, this was the first time she had done such a thing, and she was very worried.
But Qin Suyun, who was floating in the air, had a frown on her face and her pupils shrank slightly.
Because on the other side, she saw her husband Chen Zhou marrying another woman in a high-profile manner the day after their divorce!
And that woman was none other than Xu Rong, the host of their TV station! The colleague she usually walked closest to!
While watching herself in the dream worrying about Chen Zhou's company in her hometown, and watching her ex-husband and new wife Xu Rong smiling every day, Qin Suyun's heart became extremely depressed. She almost wanted to rush forward and scold herself in the dream to wake her up.
However, she couldn't move, as if she was imprisoned by something, and could only stay where she was and watch the situation unfold...
More than four months passed like this, but the self in the dream still did not discover that her husband had betrayed her. Instead, she jumped for joy because she had received the house demolition compensation and hurriedly transferred the money to her husband Chen Zhou.
But then she relaxed and fainted again.
She was taken to the hospital and found out she was pregnant. Her periods were irregular and easily affected by her emotions, so it was normal for her to miss two or three months.
Such a big thing happened at home this time. Her emotions were even more volatile, and she had completely stopped thinking about pregnancy. When she heard that she was pregnant, she happily called Chen Zhou, but no one answered the phone...
Three days passed like this, and she felt something was not right in her dream. However, she was in poor health and pregnant, so it was not suitable for her to travel long distances. So she stayed in the countryside for more than a month to recuperate.
When she returned to the city, she found out that her husband had married Xu Rong...
"Why? Why do you treat me like this?" Tears streamed down her face. The pain of being betrayed by her lover was so maddening that even Qin Suyun's eyes turned red. Inexplicable grief came from the bottom of her heart, followed by waves of crazy anger.
"Xu Rong is pregnant. She's pregnant with my child, Su Yun. You know I've always wanted a child of my own, and I can't be irresponsible."
Always wanted a child of your own?
The smile in the dream was very sad. It was clearly the man in front of her who said that he didn't want to have children for the time being for the sake of his career, but now it became her fault?
And...she is pregnant now!
"What's more, I love her very much. It was only after being with her that I realized that my feelings for you were just brotherly and sisterly. My true love for Rongrong is me. I'm so sorry!" Chen Zhou hugged Xu Rong with one hand, with a slightly apologetic look on his face.
Brother-sister love? Does this guy think that Qin Suyun is a persistent person?
As long as Chen Zhou says, "Let's break up. I don't love you anymore," Qin Suyun will never bother him again!
Can true love be used as an excuse to abandon your wife?!
Didn't Chen Zhou do that just to make sure he didn't get a penny?! Because he was the one who cheated on his wife!
This excuse of hurting others under the guise of true love is the most disgusting excuse she has ever seen!
Qin Suyun was furious. She watched herself in her dream leave in despair and returned to the small house her parents had left her. She cried all night long.
She had always been a very stubborn woman, and her pride wouldn't allow her to cry and beg for a man's love. Although sad, she thought of the child in her belly and decided to be strong in her dream. The next day, she went to work at the TV station. But to her surprise, Xu Rong used her connections to fire her, and everyone in the company said that she had written a resignation letter.
At this time...
She then realized that Xu Rong's father was actually the deputy director of their TV station!
In the days that followed, Qin Suyun watched herself in her dreams, languishing alone. It wasn't that she hadn't tried to find someone to take back the studio's assets, but since they'd divorced long ago, there was no chance of reversal. Because of her bad mood, she grew thinner in her dreams, and her belly grew larger and larger...
Not long after, winter came.
This winter is colder than any other winter. There is no heating in the south, so she can only stay in her home every day. The winter is getting colder and colder. It is already March or April, but it is still snowing outside.
It was also during this winter that vegetable and rice prices continued to rise, and even electricity bills increased several times. At first, she didn't take it seriously, but as time went by, she found that every time she went out to buy vegetables, there would be people rushing to buy them. She also followed other people's lead and bought a lot of rice to store at home.
What's going on?
Qin Suyun was puzzled. She could clearly sense the uneasiness in her dream. Even Qin Suyun herself felt a little uneasy. She wanted to see what was happening elsewhere...
There was only one thought in the dream, and it seemed as if the whole world was reflected in her eyes. The entire northern hemisphere was covered with ice and snow, and it was freezing cold, while the southern hemisphere was dry and the sun was scorching.
Disaster! A global disaster!
These words suddenly popped up in her mind. Qin Suyun widened her eyes, as if she had grasped something, but she was not sure what it was. She tried hard to think, but it was still slow, which was worrying.
A sharp cry woke Qin Suyun up!
She lowered her head and looked down, only to find that the person in her dream had given birth!
A boy smaller than a cat, weighing only three or four pounds! But the child's condition didn't seem good. He was sent to the intensive care unit right after birth...
Later, she had no money left, so she found Chen Zhou and wanted to get back the 700,000 yuan she had given to him before the divorce. However, she was severely humiliated by her mother-in-law Liang Ping and Xu Rong. Chen Zhou also stared at her coldly and told her to leave and not disturb his family anymore.
She had no choice but to sell her parents' house to pay for the hospital bills.
After the child was discharged from the hospital, she took the little guy back to her grandmother's old house in the countryside. Without a job and a house, and with such a natural disaster, she thought she might as well stay in the countryside with the child for the time being and go out to find a job when the weather got better.
The dream scene quickly skipped past this point, and in the blink of an eye, five years had passed...
The woman in the dream, thirty-two years her senior, looked at least forty or fifty. She was skinny, her hair mostly gray, and she looked to weigh only sixty or seventy pounds. Her son, on the other hand, was a dull boy. He was five years old, but he looked about the size of a two or three-year-old. He was skinny, dark, and small, and besides calling "Mom," he couldn't even utter complete words.
During these five years, she experienced all sorts of natural disasters. Food became increasingly scarce, and money became less and less valuable. It even reached a point where even if she had money, she couldn't buy food. Food became the most valuable thing in the world...
In her dream, she worried almost every day whether she would have food to eat next time, and in a few days it would be time to deliver grain.
Yes, since four years ago, all farmers who grow crops have been required to hand over grain to the government as taxes. The original subsidy policy has long disappeared, and all farmland has been handed over at a price of 200 kilograms per mu. But in fact, locusts, droughts, freezes, floods and various natural disasters have reduced the income from the land to a terrible level. The grain in her family weighs less than 100 kilograms.
Although I don't know exactly what the world is like...
But Qin Suyun could feel that her heart in the dream was like that of an old woman who had experienced too much. She was like a bent straw, no longer able to struggle.
What surprised Qin Suyun was that many of the people who had lived in the city at that time could no longer make it and came to the countryside.
What was even more coincidental was that I also saw Chen Zhou and Xu Rong's family in the village, as well as their fair, tender and somewhat unruly five-year-old daughter.
Yes.
He was fair and tender, completely different from the fair and tender son of her own son.
Chen Zhou's family, like Qin Suyun's, were originally from the same village. Later, when his parents became wealthy, they moved to the city. Now, in this situation, returning to the countryside to farm was normal. But looking at the other family of eleven, and then looking at his own appearance at this moment.
In the dream, I felt extremely bitter and sad.
She couldn't understand why, during this natural disaster, even the officials who usually came here had lost a lot of weight and their faces were sallow, so how could the other family look even cleaner and fairer than they did five years ago? Even Chen Zhou's mother, Liang Ping, looked younger than her!
Especially Xu Rong!
This woman was already a year older than Chen Zhou, and now at thirty-six, she looked even more charming than those girls in their early twenties! She was even more beautiful than she remembered, having been retouched by makeup artists on TV. It seemed that the harsh climate and dry environment had no effect on her at all!
Looking at the couple at the door, I was really angry in my dream, angry at the injustice of the world.
However, the injustice of heaven is not just this.
It seemed as if all the bad luck was piled up on her.
Even Qin Suyun seemed to feel that the entire world had betrayed her. The unspeakable hatred she felt in her dream filled her heart. How could the laws of nature be so unfair?!
Why do that bitch and her family live so well?
And she looks like this?
Especially the straw in her heart, which was completely crushed one day after she came home from work! The originally gentle woman had long since disappeared, leaving only a vulgar and ferocious woman.
Gone! Gone!
The son she left at home was missing!
For a moment, she was panicked in her dream. Even though her son was a fool, even though he couldn't even speak complete sentences, he was her only comfort and her only hope after working hard every day!
But why did he disappear?
The self in the dream almost went crazy. Qin Suyun saw her running around the village, asking questions, and finally, after a young man told her privately, she knew where her son was.
It turned out that the people who took her son away were actually a group of thugs from outside the city! I heard that they even ate human flesh!
She was horrified to death by the situation.
She couldn't understand why her usually well-behaved son would leave home, nor why he happened to be taken away by such a group of people?
…
The dream continued, and the scene in front of Qin Suyun's eyes flashed. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in another place.
No chance to look around carefully.
She saw five tall and strong men sitting around a pile of firewood in the abandoned room, and a pot of hot meat was cooking on the shelf!
Qin Suyun was shocked!
She subconsciously thought of herself in the dream and the lost child.
Unable to move her body, she could only turn her head to look at the surrounding scene. Then she saw a pool of blood in the corner of the room, a pile of discarded internal organs and a small head. It was actually the child's head!
Tears silently slid down Qin Suyun's cheeks. Wasn't that child her own child?
Why is it such a cruel dream?
Soon, when the men were discussing dirty jokes, the door was suddenly slammed open, and the woman rushed in with a kitchen knife in one hand and red eyes, looking murderous.
But how could she, a weak woman, be a match for five men?
It wasn't long before she was subdued by the five men. They covered her mouth and raped her. The five men took turns for a whole day and night. If she hadn't been thinking about revenge, she would have bitten her tongue and committed suicide!
The despair that was as dead as ashes, the heart-wrenching grief, and the irreconcilable hatred all flowed from the girl in the dream into Qin Suyun's heart. Even Qin Suyun herself became a little confused and could not tell the truth from the false.
Are these her past lives, or are they really just a dream?
Did she live her life again, or was she dreaming too deeply?
Chen Zhou, out of respect for their past as husband and wife, and for his son's sake, provided food and hired several soldiers to find her and bring her back to her old home. The five men, however, were shot dead for resisting. In her dream, she lay in bed, her eyes hollow and lifeless.
She didn't know when Xu Rong and Chen Zhou came to her house to see her. In her dream, she silently turned her eyes to look at the two of them, looking at Xu Rong's increasingly delicate and youthful face, and then at her husband who also looked young. She didn't know what she was thinking for a moment, and her face became more and more ashen.
Although the two people came to see her, she could still see the disdain and ridicule in Xu Rong's eyes, as well as the relief and emotion in her husband Chen Zhou's eyes.
Haha, is he feeling lucky that he divorced himself and married Xu Rong? The me in the dream was filled with sorrow.
Qin Suyun stared intently at Chen Zhou and the other man, but somehow her gaze drifted to Xu Rong's neck. It was a white jade plaque carved with a pair of fair, white hands. In the palms of these hands was an orchid, its slender leaves particularly beautiful. Wasn't that the jade plaque her grandmother had left for her? How could it be on Xu Rong's body?
Yes...
When she left the Chen family, she left in a hurry and left all her valuables at Chen Zhou's house. This jade pendant was one of them. The jade pendant was just carved from ordinary Hetian jade. If it was put on the market, its price would be only about 7,000 to 8,000 yuan. Nowadays, even five kilograms of grain is more valuable than this.
Why would Xu Rong still wear her jade pendant? Isn't she afraid of being affected by her bad luck?
According to Qin Suyun's understanding of Xu Rong, after this woman entered the Chen family, she would definitely not let any trace of her remain in the Chen family! But why would she keep this jade pendant?
With that strange feeling in her heart, Qin Suyun saw that she also saw the jade pendant on Xu Rong's neck in her dream, and she heard her own voice in a daze.
"That's my grandmother's jade pendant. Can you return it to me? It's my last wish before I die."
Chen Zhou and Xu Rong's expressions suddenly changed. Chen Zhou's face darkened as he glanced at her and said coldly, "This isn't your grandmother's jade pendant at all. I lost the previous one a long time ago. This is the one left to Xu Rong by her father. I can't give it to you!"
After saying that, the two of them said no more and walked out.
Qin Suyun frowned tightly, her whole body floating along with Chen Zhou and Xu Rong, and she heard their conversation.
She blinked, her eyes were dry and she wanted to cry but couldn't. The temples on both sides were swollen and painful.
It turned out that her son was deceived by Chen Zhou and Xu Rong's daughter!
The other party knew that the five people were not good people. Seeing that they were eating human flesh, they even tricked their son out! The little girl ran fast, and because she was small and agile, she hid. Her son was caught by those people and became the meat in their pot!
And those soldiers weren't hired by Chen Zhou and the others with their food! They just happened to be passing by, so they saved her...
"Don't hang this jade pendant around your neck in the future. It's too conspicuous. It's safer to put it inside your clothes!" Chen Zhou took a puff of cigarette and frowned tightly.
"I accidentally forgot today, so that woman Qin Suyun saw it. This kind of thing won't happen again in the future! But even if Qin Suyun saw it, she wouldn't know what happened, so you don't have to worry..."
After Xu Rong finished saying this angrily, Qin Suyun didn't have time to think, it was as if the whole person was suddenly punched hard, and her eyes blurred and went black!
She suddenly opened her eyes and saw darkness. The light from the street lamp outside the window shone in and fell on Qin Suyun's face. She was breathing slightly heavily and sat up from the bed. The sweat on her head soaked her clothes.
Is it a dream?
Was it really just a dream?
Cheng Suyun slowly turned her gaze to her husband Chen Zhou who was sleeping beside her, her eyes lost in thought...
