Hearing Shen Guoliang and Li Hongmei's conversation, Shen Mu Ning couldn't help but sneer inwardly. These two were truly a perfect match.
Li Hongmei's greed was outwardly obvious; she frequently beat and scolded the original owner of the body, disregarding her well-being. Shen Guoliang, on the other hand, was much more cunning. He outwardly treated the original owner well, sending her to school and ensuring she wasn't destitute. This was to appease the neighbors and avoid gossip. Sometimes, he would even feign scolding Li Hongmei, making the original owner believe her second uncle's family was her own, and even coaxing her into giving the job left by her mother to her second aunt.
In reality, Shen Guoliang was much more ruthless. He turned a blind eye to the original owner's servitude at home and the bullying she suffered at the hands of her cousins. His kindness towards the original owner was merely lip service, without any concrete actions. When his son reached the age to go to the countryside, he directly instructed Li Hongmei to register the original owner for the rural assignment so that he could later obtain the original owner's family's house.
She had transmigrated into this body, and what belonged to the original owner was now hers. Although she didn't want to gain something for nothing, she would never hand over her fortune to the person who killed the original owner. As for the original owner's grudge, it was also her grudge, and she would repay it tenfold.
Fortunately, the original owner's mother had instructed her before her death that the family's house deeds and bankbooks were kept in another house and could only be retrieved when she got married. This prevented her second uncle from succeeding and forced him to send her away first before slowly making his move.
In the original owner's memory, their family owned two houses. One was the small courtyard where her second uncle's family now lived, near the textile factory, which her mother bought after she started working at the textile factory. The other house was a courtyard house passed down from her mother's family, located in Haishi, nearly 60 kilometers away from their county town.
Because Shen Mu Ning's mother, Sun Qing, had no family before marrying Shen Guo Dong, the Shen family always assumed she was an orphan with nothing. After the marriage, she moved to the county town, and no one knew her family owned a house. Before her parents were alive, only her father would go there to clean the yard when he came home on vacation. After her parents passed away, although she relied on her second uncle, she didn't tell him about her future security. She also never had the chance to go to the city to look at the house again, so her second uncle couldn't find the property deed.
Over the years, my second uncle's family has only received 1,000 yuan in compensation for my father's death and 15 yuan per month in child support from the original owner. Now that she's here, no matter how much money they took from her, they have to return it to her.
She was supposed to go to the countryside in a few days. According to policy, as an only child and a family member of a martyr, she was not required to go. However, Li Hongmei interfered and made her go to the countryside in place of her cousin, Shen Yu.
Upon hearing the news, the original owner was shocked and anxious. In a moment of carelessness, she fell into the river. Although she was pulled up by passersby, she still could not save her life. Her soul, which came from the apocalypse, moved in.
She had considered resisting, but once she had signed up, she couldn't change her mind. If she ran away, it wouldn't do her any good for her future work and life, unless she really decided to cut off all contact with society.
However, in this era, life in the countryside might be more stable than in the city. It's 1974 now. Although the names of the world's leaders and place names are different from those on Earth, like a parallel universe, the major historical events are similar. If I stay in the countryside for three years, I can return to the city by taking the college entrance exam. If I study hard beforehand, I might even get into a prestigious university.
As for her second uncle's family taking her money and now asking her to go to the countryside in place of their son, and even trying to seize her family's property, she must get revenge before they go to the countryside. She won't let them live a carefree life.
