Wan Ge glanced at the calendar beside her and realized that she had actually traveled back to the 1970s, a time of scarcity, the year the college entrance examination was reinstated.
Wan Ge slowly sat up and heard arguing outside the door.
"Back then, your family said that neither Mandie nor Wange would break off the engagement. Now you've come to break off the engagement. Where do you think my Wange's face is?"
"Aunt Mo, don't be angry. It's just that this child really has no interest in Wan Ge. He has tried his best, but he doesn't want to be Wan Ge's sister."
"Don't want to? Is it that you really don't want to, or did you just want to trick Wange into staying here? You are all heartless. Get out, get out of here! You want us to break off the engagement? Forget about it."
Just then, Mo's mother heard a voice behind her: "Mom, let's break it off. Since he doesn't like me, let's break it off. It's better than becoming a resentful couple in the future."
"Wange, you're awake. Is there anything else that's bothering you? If you're feeling unwell, be sure to tell Mom."
Wan Ge shook her head: "I'm fine, I'm not feeling unwell. Don't blame them, I was the one who took over Man Die's life, it's only right that I give that position to her."
With tears in her eyes, Mo's mother touched her daughter with heartache: "They clearly thought Duan Mandie was ugly and didn't want her, so they switched you with someone else. Now our family has raised her to be so beautiful, and they want to take her back. They even say it was a mix-up. Who would believe that? They are human traffickers! They took my daughter away."
Wan Ge hugged the person in front of her and replied softly, "It's okay. As long as I can stay by your and Dad's side, there's nothing wrong with being here."
After releasing the person, Wan Ge took out a jade bracelet from the drawer: "This is a token that your family gave to our family. I'm returning it to you. From now on, our two families will have no further connection."
"Wange, you know that your aunt likes you very much. It's just that this child is ignorant. Don't blame him."
"You can leave now. You're not welcome in our home anymore."
"You silly child..."
Madam Mo picked up a broom: "Aren't you leaving? Do I need to ask you to leave?"
"Hmph, go ahead and leave."
…
After the male supporting character and his mother left, Wan Ge finally understood the plot of this world.
The female protagonist of this world is a so-called "switched baby," but in reality, she was born with a birthmark on her face, which made the baby look less than attractive.
The female lead's parents were fighting over the inheritance at the time, and they were worried that bringing back such an ugly baby girl would become a weapon against them, so they switched the original owner with the female lead.
The birthmark on the female lead's face was actually caused by poisoning. When Mo's mother found out that her daughter had been taken away, she knew that leaving such a girl behind meant that she had been abandoned, so she adopted her.
Upon learning that she had a birthmark because she was born with a poisonous constitution, Mr. and Mrs. Mo spent a long time and a lot of money on treatment, and even managed to remove the birthmark from her face before she turned six.
After the removal, the female lead's face was fine again, and she was raised to be very beautiful by the Mo family. Other girls either took care of their younger siblings or helped with chores, but Duan Manye did not, so she was fairer and prettier than the average girl.
Moreover, since Mo's father was originally an educated youth sent to the countryside, and later fell in love with Mo's mother in the countryside and stayed there, his knowledge was broader than that of the average person. When Duan Mandie didn't go to school, she stayed at home to help with some chores or study.
In such an era, the idea of valuing sons over daughters was still deeply rooted in people's hearts. Although going to school was not restricted by gender, most of those who went to school in rural areas were boys, and only a small number of girls were sent to school by their families.
Duan Mandie was one of these few girls. Although the Mo family knew she wasn't their biological daughter, they raised her as such.
Unexpectedly, the other party harbored resentment towards the original owner, feeling that the original owner had stolen his life. He was also easily fooled by the Duan family's words and did not trust the parents who raised her. After listening to the words of Duan's parents, he felt that the Mo family had deliberately switched the children so that the original owner could enjoy a better life. That's why he wanted to take revenge on the original owner so much and was willing to do anything to get revenge.
The male supporting character, who was engaged to the original owner, was Duan Mandie's childhood sweetheart and had always had feelings for her. Moreover, Duan Mandie had the halo of the female lead, so the male supporting character was naturally head over heels in love with her.
He had deliberately seduced the original owner of the body, making her develop feelings for him, hoping to get her to stay for him.
In this way, Duan Manye can not only reclaim her identity, but also take away the job opportunities that the original owner worked hard to obtain.
Unfortunately, the original owner of this body actually developed feelings for the male supporting character.
But that's normal. Suddenly finding out you're not your parents' biological child, suddenly understanding why your parents are cold towards you, and not thinking you stole an innocent girl's identity, it's normal to feel affection for the person who comforts you after such a blow.
Now that Wan Ge thinks about it carefully, everything in the original owner's memories can be traced back to its source.
Although the Duan family had never mistreated her, they were indeed very indifferent to her. She used to think that her parents were just cold-hearted, but now she realized it was because they were not her biological parents.
The original owner was willing to stay not only because of the male supporting character, but also because of her blood parents.
As soon as the original owner came into contact with them, she could feel their enthusiasm for her, which she had never experienced with her parents in the Duan family before, so she felt a little attached to them.
Moreover, the original owner is unaware that he has been harmed by the female lead, so he feels guilty towards her. He gave up his job voluntarily, thinking that he wanted to make amends to her.
But they had no idea that she was an innocent person.
In this era, everyone has to work. Although the Duan family is much better off, they still have a lot to do, and they have to work hard to achieve many things.
