Chapter 1 Rebirth
"How can I lie? I've been a matchmaker for many years and have seen all kinds of families. Take the Wu family, for example. They're a well-known good family in the surrounding area. If it weren't for our close relationship as sisters, I wouldn't have introduced such a good match to my niece."
"Let me tell you, Old Man Wu is an expert at butchering pigs at the meat processing plant. He's highly regarded by the factory. You know how hard it is to get a bite of meat these days. If you go to the Wu family, my niece can just wait to eat meat."
"I also heard that Old Man Wu intends to keep his youngest son by his side to teach him, hoping that he will take over.
If this marriage goes through, my niece will be half a city dweller. Once she becomes a married woman, she will be a city dweller.
My dear sister, don’t say I didn’t think about you. I came to find you as soon as the news got out.”
My head was dizzy and there was a lot of noise in my ears.
Bai Jing opened her eyes again and felt a little dazed. After all, this scene was too long ago.
The room was dim, and everything was yellow and black, as if it had been smoked with tung oil. It was a wooden house, and she hadn't lived in it for many years.
Memories surged in my mind, and every bit of the past appeared in my mind one by one.
Before she could organize her thoughts, the conversation outside hit her hard again.
"Just tell me, do you agree with this marriage? If you think it's not feasible, then I will look for another one for the young man from the Wu family."
Bai Jing's mind shuddered. The Wu family, could it be the same Wu family she married into?
No, no, she can't marry into the Wu family. It's a hell of a place.
Don't be fooled by his glamorous appearance. He has a father who is a butcher in a meat processing factory, but he has a lot of people to support. He has a wife who cries all day long, a petty eldest son, an eldest daughter who has conjunctivitis, a youngest son who is idle, and a youngest daughter with bad behavior.
You can't marry into such a family.
Yes, she was reborn.
Since God gave her another chance to choose, she was unwilling to fall into the Wu family's hell again.
"No."
A shrill cry came from the dim room.
The two people who were talking under the eaves outside were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats.
"Jing'er, Jing'er, what's wrong with you?" Bai's mother Luo Chunhua was startled when she heard her daughter's cry and stood up and rushed into the house.
My daughter got caught in the rain yesterday and had a fever at night. I only gave her Anesthesia this morning and the fever went away. I hope she doesn't damage her brain.
The family's conditions were already poor, and if something happened to her eldest daughter, she wouldn't want to live anymore.
When I rushed into the room, I saw my daughter half-sitting on the bed in a cold sweat, with her hair hanging on her forehead soaked.
"Jing'er, Jing'er, what's wrong with her?" Bai's mother took off her shoes and entered the room. She ran to her daughter's bed in two or three steps, walked up to her and touched her forehead worriedly.
Seeing her young mother, Bai Jing couldn't help but shed tears.
Her mother had a miserable life. Not only did she never enjoy a good day after marrying into the Bai family, but she also had to support the entire family alone during the years of disaster.
She became ill at an early age and lost her son in middle age, leaving behind a grandson who suffered from a rare anemia. She sold her house and land to save her grandson, but she also lost half her life.
Later, he was even resented by his three sons-in-law for not wanting his grandson to have a roof over his head.
"Mother." Bai Jing couldn't hold it in any longer, "Mother, mother, mother."
She screamed and hugged her poor mother tightly.
Feng Ni, who followed in, said to the crying Bai Jing, "Is this child having a nightmare?" Looking at the mother and daughter on the bed, Feng Ni curled her lips and said.
Feng Ni is the matchmaker who was trying to be a matchmaker for Bai Jing just now. She is also from Baijia Village.
She married into a family with the surname Bai, but they were not from the same clan as Bai Jing's family.
Luo Chunhua turned around and glanced at Feng Ni who followed in. Seeing that she came in without taking off her shoes, she was very unhappy: "She just had a nightmare, her aunt. I can't make the decision on this matter. Why don't we wait until Jing'er gets better?" She didn't like people entering her room very much.
Besides, she didn't believe that Feng Ni had such good intentions. She didn't like anyone in the whole village. After all, no one in the village helped her when she was in the most difficult time.
If they hadn't worried about her dying, no one would have cared for her when she collapsed in the field bleeding profusely. She felt chilled every time she thought of these things.
Bai Jing, who was still immersed in the thought of seeing her mother, was brought back to reality by her mother's voice.
"Aunt Feng." Bai Jing turned her head and looked at the person standing not far away, staring at her with eyes as if filled with poison. "You son of a bitch, you dare to come to my house? I'll beat you to death."
Bai Jing didn't know what she was thinking about, and she was about to get out of bed and hit someone.
How could Luo Chunhua let her daughter do that? The younger generation hit the elders and no one paid any attention to them.
"Her aunt, please go back first. Jing'er is confused. Don't scare you."
Baijia Village is very remote. Although it has entered the new century, some things passed down from our ancestors are still preserved.
Feng Ni was also frightened by Bai Jing's look just now. The look in Bai Jing's eyes seemed to tear her apart. "Okay, then, I'll go back first." She swallowed and said with difficulty.
After saying that, she ran out the door swiftly.
Luo Chunhua no longer paid any attention to her, but patted her daughter's back gently, "Don't be afraid, my dear, I'm here, I'm here."
After repeating this several times, Bai Jing finally calmed down.
"Mom, woo, mom, I miss you so much."
Although she has four siblings, it is said that a home comes from a father and a mother. Since her parents passed away, the three surviving sisters are no longer close for various reasons. She has never blamed anyone, but only lamented that she has lost her home.
If her children had not been filial to her later on, she would have long ago given up and gone to look for her parents.
"Mom is here, mom is always here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, mom is with you." Although Luo Chunhua didn't know what was wrong with her daughter, she thought she was just frightened in a dream.
After a long time, Bai Jing fell asleep in her mother's arms.
Luo Chunhua gently put the person down, covered her with a quilt, and then tiptoed out of the room.
Looking at the sun outside, Luo Chunhua felt very sad.
Baijia Village is a big village. Her family is one of the four teams, which were reorganized by various parties.
I am not valued by the village, and I have little work to do. After all, it is a newly developed brigade, so naturally everything has to start from scratch. If there are not many laborers in the family, I can't even have a good meal all year round.
For a family like hers, even if the rice is shared out throughout the year, no one can even get a bite to eat.
On weekdays, in addition to sweet potatoes and beans, some wild vegetables are mixed in. Most of the time, I just drink wild vegetable soup to fill my stomach.
After many years, not only children, but even adults can't stand it.
Now her four children all have big heads. Her daughter is sixteen years old. Not only is she short, but she looks like other twelve or thirteen-year-old children from well-off families. If it weren't for her long hair, people would probably think she was a little boy.
This was also the main reason why she did not directly reject her aunt's marriage proposal. Her family conditions were too poor, too poor. If her daughter got married, her life would definitely be better than at home.
Not to mention that the Wu family is such a good family.
