Chapter 3: The Little Village Girl of the 1970s
She was so frightened that she lost her footing and tripped, falling flat on her backside.
Yao Yunzhen was standing inside the door, and Yao Kemei's attention was all on Yang Erni. In addition, she was a little absent-minded and didn't notice anyone else at all.
It was only then that she saw Yao Yunzhen.
The face before me was incredibly beautiful, but it was definitely not Yao Yunzhen.
The Yao Yunzhen she knew didn't look like this!
But why are they all calling her 'Zhenzhen'?
Who is she? Who exactly is she?
Yang Erni was already in a bad mood, and seeing this, she scolded without any mercy: "What kind of trouble are you causing now, you brat?"
Yao Kemei ignored her and continued to stare intently at Yao Yunzhen.
She was so shocked and frightened that Yao Yunzhen's stunning beauty even became evidence of her suspicions.
Did she not get reborn?
She didn't go back to the past, but instead came to a strange and unpredictable world?
But why? Whether it was her family, the villagers, or even Li Yunqi, they all looked exactly the same as she remembered.
This so-called Yao Yunzhen is definitely suspicious, definitely suspicious!
Yao Yunzhen isn't stupid; she didn't react at all while being stared at like that.
She glanced at Yao Kemei, who was still sitting on the ground, and frowned slightly.
She didn't like being looked at like that.
Yao Yunzhen is no pushover; if she's unhappy, she'll vent it.
"Did you fall into the water and lose your mind?"
"You are not Yao Yunzhen!"
Yao Yunzhen rolled her eyes: "If I'm not Yao Yunzhen, then who are you? I think you're the one who's not Yao Kemei!"
She sensed something was wrong with the other person from the moment they fell into the water, wondering if they had hit their head and were now acting strangely.
Suddenly, the system in my head spoke on its own.
[Buzzing sounds... Correcting... Correcting... Buzzing sounds...]
What's the meaning?
Yao Yunzhen immediately focused her attention on the system.
This is the first time in so many years that it has spoken out on its own initiative, and even introduced new words.
During orthodontic treatment, what is being corrected?
Yao Yunzhen didn't notice that a look of realization flashed in Yao Kemei's eyes, and when she looked at her again, there was no longer any horror or doubt in her eyes.
She silently got up and sat back down at the table.
Miao Cuilan originally wanted to start cursing, how dare they talk about her daughter, they must have a death wish.
Seeing Yao Kemei's disheveled appearance, he moved his lips but didn't say anything.
The elderly couple usually don't interfere in their children's conflicts. Seeing that the two had given up, Tan Guihua continued to pick up the bowl and scoop up the porridge.
Yao Yunzhen usually dawdles when eating, but now that she was in a hurry to study the system, she quickly finished the porridge in her bowl and went into her room.
Unfortunately, no matter how she poked and prodded it, the system didn't say anything more and instead returned to its initial state.
[Buzzing sounds... System... Buzzing sounds... Connecting... Buzzing sounds...]
Yao Yunzhen: "..."
The system couldn't figure it out, and instead, the sound of Yang Erni and her daughter arguing came from outside again.
Although Yao Yunzhen didn't know why Yao Kemei had suddenly become so assertive, she still supported her choice.
Li Yunqi, a popular educated youth in the village, was not a good match for Yao Yunzhen.
Not to mention that she shared the same views as her family that educated youth were like rootless duckweed, Yao Yunzhen couldn't stand the other party's pretentious manner.
Is it really because he's handsome that all the girls in the village like him?
It was him stirring things up behind the scenes.
Yao Yunzhen didn't work a regular job. When she was bored, she would wander around the village wearing a mask. She had seen girls try to give Li Yunqi eggs or pastries more than once, and he would always accept them half-heartedly.
Whether his family is truly wealthy is unknown, but the other party is definitely not a good candidate for marriage!
Yao Kemei has a deeper understanding of this.
In her past life, she also fell into the water and was rescued by Li Yunqi.
At that time, she was truly in love with him. When Yang Erni forced him to marry her, she did not hesitate much and followed her mother's advice.
She successfully married Li Yunqi.
However, her married life was not good. Her husband's family had no money at all. He was able to live a decent life in the countryside entirely because his parents supported him by donating the blood of his sisters.
Yao Kemei only found out later that the 200 yuan dowry her mother asked for was the dowry her parents received after marrying off her two younger sisters.
At the time, her two younger sisters were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and because of this, her two sisters-in-law never liked her, causing her a lot of suffering.
The rest of the Li family also looked down on her because she was from the countryside, and they took all sorts of ways to bully her.
Li Yunqi, on the other hand, didn't care about anything. He even spent the money she worked so hard to earn on other women. Later, he even developed an alcoholic disorder and would beat her every time he got drunk.
It's pitiful that he cruelly beat her several children to death while they were still in her womb.
Given a second chance, how could Yao Kemei possibly still be willing to marry him?
She wished he were dead!
Why couldn't she have been reborn sooner?
If it had been earlier, she wouldn't have drowned, nor would she have been rescued by the other party, and her mother wouldn't have had a reason to force her to marry him.
Yao Kemei knew very well that her mother would never give up.
She only had eyes for her younger brother, and she would never give up for that 200 yuan.
After finally managing to fool Yang Erni, Yao Kemei stood in the courtyard and finally fixed her gaze on Yao Yunzhen's door.
She stepped forward almost without hesitation and knocked on the door.
'Bang, bang, bang.'
Who is it?
Yao Yunzhen lay on the bed, not wanting to get up to open the door, so she shouted at the top of her lungs.
"It's me."
Yao Kemei and Yao Yunzhen didn't get along in their past lives, so she couldn't bring herself to call her "sister" at this moment.
Yao Yunzhen still didn't move.
"Little sister? What are you doing here?"
Upon hearing the title 'Little Sister', Yao Kemei frowned.
In her past life, Yao Yunzhen always called her by her full name in a contemptuous and nasty tone.
'Yao~Ke~Mei~'
At times like this, Yao Kemei wished she could disappear into the ground.
From the time she was old enough to understand, she knew that this was not a good name, filled with shame and malice.
But now that Yao Yunzhen doesn't call her by her name, but calls her "little sister," Yao Kemei feels awkward all over.
Yao Kemei sensed something was amiss, but now was not the time to dwell on such matters.
"Could you open the door? I need to talk to you about something."
The painful memories from the past life are too deep and dominate, suppressing the memories of this life to the bottom.
Yao Kemei was very confident in her memories and did not delve into why Yao Yunzhen called her that, nor did she notice the difference between Yao Yunzhen in this life and Yao Yunzhen in the previous life.
Do you need to see her?
Because of her favored status and the stark contrast, the three other women were more or less jealous of her, and therefore never took the initiative to get close to her.
Living under the same roof, yet rarely even having basic conversations, why would the other person need to contact her?
Out of curiosity, Yao Yunzhen got up and opened the door.
"Speak, what is it?"
"It's not convenient to talk here, may I come in?"
Glancing past Yao Yunzhen, one can see the light blue sheets and duvet cover on the bed, without a single patch.
This is something she couldn't afford even if ten years had passed in her previous life.
A fleeting hint of jealousy crossed Yao Kemei's eyes.
"I'm asking you a question."
Yao Yunzhen knocked impatiently on the door beside her.
She doesn't respond when I call her. Is she sick?
Yao Kemei snapped out of her daze and managed a weak smile.
"It's not convenient to talk here, may I come in?"
"cannot."
Yao Yunzhen refused decisively.
She didn't want anyone unimportant to enter her room, and she certainly didn't want anyone to sit on her clean and tidy bed.
Yao Kemei had already lifted her foot but had to put it down again.
A shadow crossed her eyes, but a gentle smile appeared on her face.
Unfortunately, she was too thin and too dark-skinned at the time, and her gentleness was nowhere to be seen. She just looked strange and out of place.
"Alright then, I wanted to talk to you about Li Yunqi."
After she finished speaking, she stared intently at Yao Yunzhen.
Yao Kemei thought that by saying this, the other party would invite her in, but all she saw was Yao Yunzhen's increasingly impatient expression.
Yao Kemei was momentarily stunned.
How can someone be so good-looking? Even their impatience is captivating.
However, the next second, Yao Yunzhen's impolite words pulled her back to her senses.
"What does your business with Li Yunqi have to do with me?"
Yao Kemei quickly turned her gaze to the door panel beside her before continuing:
"I know you like Li Yunqi too. Now that I have the opportunity to marry him, are you willing to accept that?"
"What?"
Yao Yunzhen felt insulted.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I like a man like Li Yunqi?"
Yao Kemei took a deep breath.
With such a face, yet such a vulgar temperament, it's a complete waste of talent!
If only this face were hers, she wouldn't have suffered so much in her past life, and Li Yunqi wouldn't have been looking for women outside.
"Don't deny it. I know you like him, and now I'm willing to give him to you."
Yao Kemei simply did not believe Yao Yunzhen's denial.
In her past life, after she married Li Yunqi, he secretly cried several times and often said hurtful things to her when she returned to her parents' home.
She was proud of it.
So what if Yao Yunzhen is living a better life than me? She still managed to steal my thunder.
However, Yao Kemei will definitely not steal it again in this life.
She will let those two be together!
"Are you deaf? I already told you I don't like him!"
Looking at Yao Kemei's confident expression, Yao Yunzhen felt a rare sense of frustration.
Who is she? She's beautiful and has a good personality, why would she be interested in someone like Li Yunqi?
Just hearing that made Yao Yunzhen feel disgusted, like she was walking down the street and suddenly stepped on a pile of shit.
Yao Yunzhen warned, "Yao Kemei, let me tell you, you can forget about throwing any man you don't want into my service. If I hear you say that again, I'll teach you a lesson!"
After saying that, he slammed the door shut.
After nearly drowning, Yao Kemei went completely insane, and Yao Yunzhen didn't want to talk to her anymore.
