"A vixen is a vixen! She needs so many people to save her just because she fell into the water."
"It's on purpose! Look, all the men in the village have come! They can't wait to be the hero and save the damsel in distress!"
"Pah! You call that rescuing a damsel in distress? It's just a prostitute's selection process!"
......
Jiang Jingxue opened her eyes, feeling unwell, and heard only the chattering of voices.
She frowned. What was going on? Wasn't she dead? Why was she here?
With difficulty, Jiang Jingxue got up and found that she was soaking wet, her clothes clinging to her body, revealing her sexy figure with a prominent bust and buttocks.
Some people couldn't stand it and pointed at her head, hurling insults.
"Jiang family's eldest daughter, now that you've lost your innocence, are you finally satisfied? You don't have to marry Major Gu anymore!"
"You're really asking for it! The Gu family offered you such a good marriage, and you still dared to complain? Now look what's happened, the whole village has seen your body. Go marry Wang Laowu, the butcher at the village entrance!"
Upon hearing these words, Jiang Jingxue was shocked to find that they were so familiar; this was not a scene from twenty years ago!
That day, her family wanted to marry her off to an island to fend for herself, but she refused. In an attempt to escape the marriage, she jumped into the pond at the entrance of the village.
Not only did he not die, but he was also seen by many people looking like a drowned rat, which led to his family's dislike of him.
There was no need to go to the island, but Jiang Jingxue was forced to marry a lame widower in the village, wasting her life until her death.
Before she died in her previous life, Jiang Jingxue was still resentful that her sister had to compete with her, which led to her being condemned by everyone.
Now, she's been reborn!
The beautiful woman with bright eyes and white teeth smiled slightly, and although she looked embarrassed, she jumped up with joy.
"It's just an island, right? Even if I, Jiang Jingxue, am left to fend for myself in a small fishing village, it's still better than being Jiang Zhizhi's stepping stone!"
Jiang Jingxue's sudden remark startled the surrounding villagers.
What's going on? Has the eldest daughter of the Jiang family lost her mind from being flooded?
Just as she was thinking this, a middle-aged woman squeezed out from the crowd and trembled with anger when she saw Jiang Jingxue's appearance.
She put her hands on her hips and yelled, "Jiang Jingxue, are you only satisfied when you've angered your mother to death? Do you even know who Major Gu is? Our family is incredibly lucky to have connections with him, and you actually want to jump into the lake to escape your arranged marriage! I've raised you all these years, and it turns out I've raised a heartless wretch!"
This woman is Jiang Jingxue's biological mother, Yao Guilan.
Upon seeing the familiar face that looked twenty years younger, Jiang Jingxue sneered, feeling no affection whatsoever for her birth mother.
In her past life, she was foolish and blindly obeyed her mother's wishes, vowing to treat her younger sister, who had been missing for over ten years and whom she had finally found, better.
Therefore, even though she was subjected to domestic violence every day after marrying a widower, she still had to try her best to hide some money to support the family.
She supported her younger sister through school, college, and job hunting, and eventually, Jiang Zhizhi became the elite, successful woman you only see on television.
Despite enduring countless hardships, she only earned widespread infamy.
Jiang Jingxue never understood why, just because she was a little prettier, the people of Wanzi Village would call her a prostitute all the time!
When she died in bed, Jiang Zhizhi cheerfully explained to her that it was Jiang Jingxue who had spread the rumors from the beginning! She was just hoping that Jiang Jingxue would be ruined!
To call her an ingrate?
The mother had no idea that her second daughter, whom she had found, was a heartless and ruthless woman!
Jiang Jingxue glanced at her mother with her fox-like eyes and said softly, "Mom, I'll get married."
"I want to marry Major Gu Pingwei."
Before Yao Guilan could finish her rant, she heard her daughter suddenly become so obedient and docile, which made her suspicious.
"What did you say? You really want to marry the major?"
Jiang Jingxue curled her lips into a cold smile and spoke sarcastically:
"The major's wedding procession is about to arrive. If I don't marry him, who else can? Second sister?"
The marriage agreement between the Gu and Jiang families was arranged by the two old men.
Jiang Jingxue's grandfather was a subordinate of Major Gu's grandfather when he led troops into battle in his early years, and had saved his life.
The Gu family had served in the military for three generations, and Gu Pingwei's generation had become high-ranking officers, renowned and powerful in the capital.
Even after becoming wealthy, he still remembered his old promise and was willing to help the Jiang family in the countryside.
Jiang Zhizhi was found, and the arranged marriage naturally fell to her. However, just a month ago, Gu Pingwei was seriously injured during a mission.
Lame and disfigured, my life is over!
I came to the island specifically to recuperate from my injury.
When Jiang Zhizhi learned that she was to marry a cripple, she cried and made a scene, forcing her to take his place in the marriage.
Jiang's mother felt indebted to her, so she agreed to every request, no matter what it was.
He immediately made a decision to let the Gu family take her away.
Provoked by Jiang Jingxue's words, Yao Guilan's face flashed with embarrassment.
Suppressing her anger, she smiled and said, "It's good that you can understand."
“Jingxue, this isn’t unfair. Even if Major Gu is lame, he’s still an officer! You’ll be a military wife after you marry him, how prestigious! Here, here’s a hundred yuan. It’s the dowry money that Mom has saved up for you over the years. Take it and live a good life over there.”
What dowry money that you saved by scrimping and saving? Isn't this the betrothal gift from the Gu family?
Jiang Jingxue found it laughable that Yao Guilan had kept everything for Jiang Zhizhi in her past life, and that she was actually able to give some of it back in this life.
She nodded, said nothing more, and readily accepted the money.
Only a fool wouldn't take his money!
Besides, she had given her family much more money in her past life, so this hundred yuan was something Yao Guilan owed her!
Jiang Jingxue followed Yao Guilan home and quickly packed her clothes without saying a word. She was happily thinking about life away from home when she heard a woman's sweet voice:
"Sis, I heard from Mom that you're really going to the island?"
