"Zhizhi, it's time to take medicine..."
A woman holding a pill in her hand gently called her daughter Qiao Zhiyi who was lying on the bed.
Qiao Zhiyi slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a blankness.
Is this... her mother's home?
Suddenly, he sat up in shock from his dying illness and called out uncertainly, "Mom..."
"You're finally not confused anymore..." The woman sighed and said, "Now that the relationship between Xinyue and Changrong can't be changed, you should be more open-minded. After all, it hasn't been easy for Xinyue in the countryside these years. If you two hadn't taken the wrong child, then Changrong should be her fiancé. Just pity your mother and help Xinyue..."
As he spoke, he began to wipe away his tears.
Qiao Zhiyi looked haggard, listening to her adoptive mother's chatter in a daze, and her thoughts suddenly returned to her senses.
It seems that she was reborn, back to 1978.
She was originally Lou Zhiyi, the second daughter of Director Lou of the county steel plant. A week ago, Lou Xinyue, the real daughter of the Lou family, came to them and said that they had taken the wrong child away from home. Her name was not Lou Zhiyi at all, but Qiao Zhiyi, and her parents were farmers with the surname Qiao in the countryside.
When Lou's mother gave birth in the county hospital, a severe flood happened in those days. The entire small county town was engulfed in floods. The county hospital's power circuit was cut off, and the medical staff were in a panic, resulting in the baby born that day being taken away by the wrong person.
Lou Xinyue does look like her mother. The Lou family went to the county hospital for a checkup and the results were consistent. The director said that four pairs of children were taken away by mistake that day. Judging from their appearance alone, Lou Xinyue is the Lou family's child.
Qiao Zhiyi, who had not yet been reborn at that time, was unable to accept the fact and was very sad when she suddenly learned about her life experience. But then, the real daughter Lou Xinyue slept with her fiancé Xie Changrong again, which immediately caused an uproar between the two families.
After a series of blows, Qiao Zhiyi fell ill, and when he woke up, he was reborn.
Qiao Zhiyi found it strange. It was obvious that in the previous life, Lou Xinyue came to recognize her relatives several years later, so how come it suddenly happened earlier?
Could it be that Lou Xinyue was also reborn?
Qiao Zhiyi's suspicion was correct.
The real daughter Lou Xinyue was indeed reborn.
She hated her fate. She should have been the daughter of a factory director, raised in pampered surroundings, but fate played a trick on her. She grew up in a peasant family, lacked food and clothing, and endured poverty day by day. Later, she married a retired soldier.
The man was injured and his left arm was disabled. He had an elderly mother and young children to support at home. Everyone laughed at her and said she was working as a nanny for free. She was so angry that she told her husband on their wedding night that she would not consummate their marriage if he did not send the unrelated child away.
As a result, when the bastard heard this, he left without saying a word and never touched her again.
She hated her miserable life for marrying into such a family. She suffered bullying every day, her mother-in-law didn't love her, her children were not well-behaved, and her husband disappeared for ten days or half a month. When he finally came back, he quarreled with her about the children and even asked for divorce several times.
On the other hand, the fake daughter Qiao Zhiyi who took her identity married a gentle and considerate military officer, had a smooth career and rose step by step. Her husband could not bear to see his wife suffer the pain of childbirth, so he would rather be scolded by his parents for being unfilial than not adopt a child. Such a good man is really hard to find even with a lantern.
But such happiness should belong to me!
After being reborn, Lou Xinyue was the first to come back to recognize her relatives, and decisively designed a plan to snatch the fake daughter's military officer fiancé.
At this time, Lou Xinyue said to Qiao Zhiyi with tears in her eyes: "Zhiyi, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. That day, you and Mom went out to buy wedding supplies, and Brother Changrong happened to come. I was happy for you and had a few drinks with him. I didn't expect that with Brother Changrong... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. We really didn't mean to hurt you..."
Qiao Zhiyi looked at the repentant Lou Xinyue.
Seeing how good she is at pretending, I am embarrassed to expose her!
Lou Xinyue, who came back from her previous life to recognize her relatives, was full of resentment and made things difficult for her everywhere. Not only did she go to her workplace and make a big fuss, she also tried to seduce Xie Changrong. She was grateful for the Lou family's upbringing, and she was tolerant of Lou Xinyue again and again, but the other party became more and more aggressive and used any means to deal with her.
The Lou family's biological daughter is not as docile and well-behaved as she seems. His current close relationship with her is just to create a victim persona in order to gain the family's forgiveness and protection to the greatest extent possible.
Mother Lou hugged her own daughter distressedly, "Xinyue, my poor daughter, you have suffered so much over the years. I will not let you suffer any injustice in this matter. After all, it is us women who suffer in such matters..."
Just a few words made Qiao Zhiyi understand Lou's mother's position and attitude.
Lou's mother wanted to make up for her debt to her own daughter, so she wanted Qiao Zhiyi to suffer some injustice in this matter.
After all, the Lou family has raised her for so many years, so what does it matter if she suffers a little injustice now?
Qiao Zhiyi smiled bitterly.
She also understood it.
Twenty years of family affection is ultimately no match for blood ties.
Besides, the adoptive parents have always valued face more than anything else, so they will definitely not make a big deal out of this matter.
Since Lou Xinyue wants this marriage so much, just snatch it away!
Anyway, her so-called happy marriage in her previous life was just a superficial glory. She had long wanted to break free from the shackles and fly freely.
Lou's mother still wanted to persuade Qiao Zhiyi to give up the engagement completely.
There was no way. After the incident, Xie Changrong refused to give up Qiao Zhiyi. Even if his future was ruined, he wanted to marry Qiao Zhiyi.
This terrible determination frightened both families.
"Mom, stop talking. Since things have come to this, I give up." Qiao Zhiyi said calmly.
She really didn't want to go back to the same old path for the rest of her life.
I have long wanted to throw away this hot potato, Xie Changrong.
Who would have thought that when she wanted to throw it, someone had already caught it impatiently!
I just don’t know if Lou Xinyue will be able to get the marriage she wants after trying so hard for it?
Qiao Zhiyi curled his lips in an ambiguous manner.
Mother Lou breathed a sigh of relief.
Lou Xinyue secretly winked at her mother again. After a moment's hesitation, she finally spoke to Qiao Zhiyi, "Zhizhi, I have one more request from you..."
Qiao Zhiyi looked at her calmly.
Mother Lou avoided her gaze, but in order to make amends to her biological daughter, she still said, "Xinyue has a fiancé in the countryside, but now that something like this has happened, Xinyue can't get married. Can you...can you...swap your marriage with Xinyue?"
The daughter said that her fiancé from the countryside was a soldier before. Because his arm was injured and disabled, he was forced to transfer to an inconspicuous and unprofitable small factory in the commune. He had a sick mother and an orphan at home. The thought of it made Lou's mother's scalp tingle.
I finally recognized my biological daughter, but I can't let her suffer like that again...
But the wedding is coming soon, and it doesn’t seem right not to go…
What if my daughter’s scandal gets out?
Lou's mother added, "He's anxious to get married because of his seriously ill mother's wish. Now Xinyue can't go, so you can go. As long as you agree, your parents will definitely find a way to arrange a job for you..."
