Reborn
That summer when she was 30, the sun was hot and the cicadas were chirping. Jiang Zhizhi, who had just been diagnosed with colon cancer, walked out of the hospital. When she was crossing the intersection, she was hit by a speeding truck and flew out.
The moment he landed on the ground, he died with a "crack".
No pain at all.
Jiang Zhizhi felt that God was very good to her.
She was just wondering how she would survive the miserable sickbed time alone, so she was given a quick death.
For a long time afterwards, Jiang Zhizhi fell into chaos, as if she had become the colorless, tasteless, shapeless and unconscious air. She didn't know where she was and could not sense the passage of time.
Until a gentle voice fell into her ears.
“Is life really that unhappy?”
Jiang Zhizhi didn't know who was speaking, maybe it was God, maybe it was Heaven. Of course, to her there was no difference between the two.
"It's nothing."
She didn't know how she made the sound, but as she thought about it, the sound came out.
"Do you want to live your life again?" the gentle voice asked again.
In no mood.
But just as these two words came out of her mouth, another thought suddenly came to her mind, "If I could do it again, I would really like to study hard."
She dropped out of junior high school and was arranged by her father to work in a factory to earn tuition for her stepsister and stepson.
By the time her stepson graduated, she was already 27 years old. For the 300,000 yuan dowry, her father asked her to marry a lame old man in his 40s who was married for the second time and had children.
Jiang Zhizhi was unwilling and ran away from home.
From the age of 27 to 30, she worked hard in society for three years, washing dishes, setting up stalls, opening an online store, and even doing cleaning work. Later, she worked in sales and sold houses, and earned her first pot of gold with this, and barely lived like a human being.
But just when her life was getting better, she was diagnosed with the same colon cancer as her biological mother, and in the blink of an eye she was hit and killed by a truck.
Jiang Zhizhi wondered if her life would be different if she had not dropped out of school and instead studied hard.
"Well, then you should study hard and make the most of your life."
As soon as the gentle words fell, Jiang Zhizhi felt a strong suction force sucking her into something, and her consciousness suddenly lost consciousness.
"Ding—Congratulations to the host on obtaining the 'Read to Get Rich' system..."
When she woke up again, Jiang Zhizhi smelled a bloody smell in her nose and mouth. Her first reaction after her five senses recovered was pain.
"Stop hitting me! Zhizhi is just asking you for 200 yuan in tuition fees. Why are you being so cruel? You might as well beat us to death..."
The sound of a woman crying came from her ears, and Jiang Zhizhi was hugged in a warm and soft embrace.
When Jiang Zhizhi realized who was hugging her, her eyes became sore and tears rolled down.
Mother……
It was her mother, Cheng Yuping, who died of colon cancer when she was thirteen.
"Damn it! I'm so unlucky to have you two as losers. Not only do you spend all my money, but now you're still asking me to pay tuition and fees. I'm about to graduate from elementary school anyway, so I'll just quit school and go sell fruit with your mom!"
He went out cursing, and at the end he cursed, "Damn it, why did I marry a bitch like you who can't give birth to a son?"
Cheng Yuping waited until Jiang Guozhong left, then held Jiang Zhizhi's swollen face in her hands and sobbed, "Zhizhi, does it hurt?"
Jiang Zhizhi swallowed the blood rushing into her mouth and gave her mother a big smile, "Mom, I don't feel any pain."
Tears rolled down her face again, but not because of pain, but because of happiness.
At this moment, she was extremely grateful to that gentle voice for giving her another life.
"I'll find a way to pay for your tuition. As long as I'm here, I won't let you fail in your studies." Cheng Yuping hugged Jiang Zhizhi and comforted her gently.
Jiang Zhizhi knew that she had indeed done it.
When her mother was alive, no matter how hard or difficult life was, she still took on Jiang Guozhong's heavy pressure and allowed her to continue studying in junior high school.
She dropped out of school in the second year of junior high school, the year her mother died.
Cheng Yuping put a hot towel on Jiang Zhizhi's face and left immediately. She had to rush to the morning market to buy goods. Before leaving, she gave Jiang Zhizhi one dollar so that she could buy some bread on the way.
Jiang Zhizhi looked at the yellowed schedule stuck to the wall with transparent tape, and went to school carrying a heavy backpack full of books and exercise books.
There is a bookstore on the way to the school. Most of the books are textbooks, but there is a shabby shelf in front of the bookstore. The shelf is full of yellowed and worn old books, and there is a piece of red paper with black words next to it: One yuan per book.
Jiang Zhizhi looked at these old books with faded titles and couldn't help but pick one up.
In an instant, that gentle voice suddenly sounded in her mind again.
"Congratulations to the host for activating the 'Read to Get Rich' system."
"The system detects that the book the host is touching is 'The Gadfly', and its reading value is S-level. If you read this book for the first time, you will receive a bonus of 500 yuan."
ah?
Jiang Zhizhi was stunned.
Suddenly, she remembered that she seemed to have obtained some system before she woke up.
Her eyes couldn't help but light up.
Can you make money by studying?
She put down The Gadfly in her hand and picked up an old book next to her.
"It is detected that the book the host is touching at this moment is "A Lifetime of Wrong Love", and its reading value is B. If you read this book for the first time, you will receive a bonus of 100 yuan."
"Reading value?" Jiang Zhizhi blurted out curiously.
"Reading value is the system's comprehensive assessment of the value that the book can provide to the host."
It actually answered her, so it seems that it is not an uncommunicative system.
Jiang Zhizhi looked through all the books, but unfortunately the highest level of books here was only S-level. She finally chose "The Gadfly", a work by Ethel Lillian Voynich, a famous foreign book she had never heard of.
After paying one dollar, she put the book, which was so tattered that the pages were almost falling apart, into her schoolbag.
After reading the book, she will have enough money to pay her tuition fees.
She must finish reading this book as soon as possible.
Twenty minutes later, Jiang Zhizhi arrived at the school gate. The school she attended was the affiliated primary school of Nanshi No. 1 Middle School, which was the best middle school in Nanshi. Only rich and well-connected families could afford to attend the affiliated primary school. The only reason Jiang Zhizhi could come to this school was because Jiang Guozhong was a small contractor who built this affiliated primary school.
In fact, Jiang Zhizhi knew that Jiang Guozhong was rich now, but he had been keeping another woman outside without telling Cheng Yuping. The woman gave birth to a son and a daughter for him. The girl was six years younger than her and was already in the last year of kindergarten, and the son was also going to the first year of kindergarten this year.
All his money was used to support the woman and child over there. The reason he didn't divorce Cheng Yuping was simply because he didn't want to lose face if his relatives and fellow villagers found out. Cheng Yuping's fruit stall not only provided income for the family, but also subsidized his expenses outside. It was a win-win for him...
At this moment, Jiang Zhizhi stood at the gate of the elementary school. Everything was both the future and the past.
She was carrying a heavy schoolbag full of things on her back, looking at the brand new school gate in front of her, and she felt a sense of rebirth in her heart.
She thought of what the gentle voice said: live up to this life.
This time, she will definitely live up to her life.
