I was actually reborn, back to the time before I got married.
Zhang Yumei pondered her rebirth. Why were some things different from her previous life? Could it be that her rebirth had changed things?
In their previous life, in 1968, the An and Xu families were reported, and the An family donated all their property. Only with the An family's IOU was they able to save their lives, but they were ultimately exiled to the northwest countryside. The Xu family, with the An family and Xu Zhiyi, the eldest daughter who had studied abroad, also suffered a severe blow. Xu Zhiyi applied to the Northwest Military Region for closure, and Xu Zhiyan signed up to join the army. Xu Chengde feared that if he left, someone would retaliate against the An family. He was also concerned about Xu Zhiyi's safety, leaving him torn between two options.
In my previous life, after my parents arranged for me to get married, I no longer cared about the affairs of the Xu and An families. In my previous life, ever since I was old enough to understand, I knew that my parents favored sons over daughters and they only wanted a boy.
Originally, my eldest sister was to be called Zhang Lai Di, my second sister was to be called Zhang Pan Er, and I was to be called Zhang Lai Er. But my father was a battalion commander in the logistics department, so how could he allow his children to be named like this? Especially now that we advocate for gender equality, if he dared to let his children be named like this, wouldn't that be giving them a chance to use against him?
So, Zhang Dabing wasn't stupid. In fact, for a country boy to have achieved his current success, he was quite intelligent. He knew that marrying a city girl would be a good idea. But city girls have a lot of bad tempers and bad habits, and they're nowhere near as good as country girls. So, with his parents' introduction, Zhang Dabing married his current wife and had children.
Zhang Dabing and Yu Zhaodi were married for three years and had three daughters. They finally had a son as their fourth child.
Zhang Yumei witnessed her parents marrying off her two older sisters and feared she would be next. So, she studied hard to avoid becoming like her two older sisters, easily "sold" by their parents.
I was successful, and I didn't let my parents find a husband to sell me when I was 18. I passed the entrance exam to a technical secondary school and became a nurse at a military hospital. But I was still sold by my parents in the end, but it was much better than the people my two sisters married. At least I married a soldier.
In her previous life, she had married Xie Heng through her parents' introduction. She had no impression of Xie Heng, aside from his reputation as a group leader. Xie Heng was a farmer, and most infuriatingly, he was a second marriage. His first marriage was arranged by his parents, and they had two sons and a daughter in their three-year marriage.
Zhang Dabing and Yu Zhaodi, his parents, said that Xie Heng, at only 26, had already achieved so much and was sure to achieve great things in the future. Indeed, Xie Heng became a division commander in his 30s and even ended up in Guangzhou, a city of birdsong and flowers, where the economy first began to develop.
After marrying Xie Heng, she couldn't help but despise him. Furthermore, Xie Heng, without consulting her, simply gave up his chance to stay at the military academy and returned to his original unit. The moment the document was issued, she went mad, but even then, she had no choice but to follow Xie Heng into the army.
I am a city dweller and a nurse who originally worked at the Capital Military Region Hospital. I followed Xie Heng to Gangshan Commune in Wei County, Wei City, Shandong Province to join the army. How could I not resent Xie Heng?
When I first arrived, I suffered from insomnia, felt uncomfortable and dazed. When I needed company the most, where was Xie Heng?
He has been missing for days and months, and he doesn't care about me. The only things in his mind are his three children left by his ex-wife and his parents back home.
While Xie Heng was out on a mission, he fell in love with a doctor in the hospital. He initially thought it was true love, but unfortunately, he was deceived in the end. The doctor's family had a fiancée, and their family had no intention of giving up his fiancée. This was because his fiancée's family was rich and had leverage over him.
Because of her resentment towards Xie Heng, she would take birth control pills every time she slept with him. This meant that when Xie Heng caught her having an affair with the doctor, she had no child to support her, and ended up losing both her money and her life.
After the divorce, she returned to her parents' home, where she was beaten half to death by Zhang Dabing and Yu Zhaodi, then kicked out of the house and sold to a divorced and violent man.
In his 60s, I watched TV and saw Xie Heng, who looked every bit his age. He was accompanied by his wife and children. One had joined the army, boasting a promising future. Another had gone to university and joined a research institute. Another had become a lawyer. And I, on the other hand, had calluses on my hands and scars all over my body.
The next day, he passed away.
Now that I've been reborn, I must not repeat the same mistakes I made in my previous life. In this life, I must hold on tightly to Xie Heng and his three children. It's just suffering in the countryside, so I'll just endure it in this life.
But before that, we must first clarify the affairs of the Xu and An families. If someone from the Xu and An families had not been reborn, they would never have been so closed off as they are now.
You know, since the An family left, no one could find out the whereabouts of the An family. Even the news of the Xu family, Commander Xu's family, disappeared in the military compound.
Tomorrow, I must ask and find out carefully.
If Xu Zhiyi were reborn, she would definitely know Xie Heng's future achievements. What if she fell in love with Xie Heng?
If Xu Zhiyi knew Zhang Yumei's thoughts, she would definitely tear her into pieces. Xie Heng is a second-married man, so what's so great about him? I still like him. Is he good? Is it better that he's a second-married man? Or is it better that he has three children and becomes a stepmother?
You must be out of your mind to rush into being someone's stepmother.
