That night, the oil lamp in Xie Hengshou's house stayed lit until midnight.
On the other side, the oil lamp in Xie Laowai's house was lit until midnight, and the eldest, second, and third sons of the family rarely sat together.
There's only one thing we're discussing: what's next?
They all knew that even if they didn't hand over the money, the village would still find ways to deal with their family.
The work points and grain are still in the village! If they don't hand over the money, their family won't get any more work points. The second and third wives definitely won't stand for it; they'll only get that little bit of money, why should they be dragged down with them?
Moreover, if they choose not to return the money, they won't be able to stay in the village anymore.
After much discussion, the second and third wives were only willing to give up the money they had saved when they divided the family property years ago, and refused to give up any more.
Old Xie was dissatisfied, and so was Old Mother Xie. She had a good idea of how much savings each family had accumulated over the years. Having managed the household for so many years, who didn't know?
Finally, the scene froze, and the second and third wives, unable to bear their parents' favoritism any longer, stood up and left.
They simply didn't believe that when the family divided their property, the two elders only had the little money their younger brother had brought back. All the money had been in their mother's hands after she had worked at home for over 20 years.
They said at the time that the money came from their work points, and that the younger brother's money was for the elderly couple's retirement and Xie Ming's upbringing. How could they possibly repay it now?
After the two brothers returned home, all that remained in the main room were the sighs of the elderly couple.
In the next room, Xie Chunhua, who had been beaten and cried until she fainted, has only just woken up. When she opened her eyes, she felt pain all over her body.
Frowning, he felt that all the pain in his life had accumulated on this day. You know, after being admitted to university, he hadn't suffered a single day of hardship.
Her husband's family used his brother-in-law's connections in the military to expand their business, and her in-laws all fawned over her.
The two older brothers in the family are also very successful. The eldest brother has become a well-known farmer-entrepreneur. He bought up all the mountains and forests around Dagang Village and turned it into a famous fruit base in China.
My second brother later went on to university and received a lot of help from his uncles and elders. He also thrived in the government and is now close to becoming the governor of a province.
Not to mention her children and grandchildren, all of whom are well-known young talents in the capital. Thinking of the increasingly better days at home, Xie Chunhua showed a kind and gratified smile, and the pain in her body seemed to lessen.
She reached for her phone by the pillow to check the time, but it wasn't there. She touched it again, but it still wasn't there. She sat up abruptly, the pain instantly pulling at her wound, the piercing pain telling her something was wrong.
This wasn't the pain of an old, frail body; it was physical agony. She'd been beaten? Xie Chunhua couldn't believe it. Who in the entire capital dared to touch her now?! This was utterly outrageous!
"Squeak~" The door opened! A figure stood in the doorway, startling Xie Chunhua.
Where was she? She couldn't believe she'd been kidnapped! She still had so many good days ahead of her!
"You're awake! If you're awake, go out and clear the dishes!"
Listening closely, the voice sounded familiar; it sounded a lot like her mother, Zhao Erya. She tentatively called out, "Mother!"
"Don't call me mother! Look what you've done! You're going to ruin the entire Xie family!" Xie Chunhua finally realized that something was wrong; this room wasn't her family's large manor at all.
It seems to be the place she has regarded as a disgrace her whole life—her old home in Dagang Village!
"Get out!" his mother yelled again.
Xie Chunhua was confused about what was going on, so she could only struggle to get up and walk outside.
When she walked into the main room and saw her family members who looked incredibly young, she realized that she had traveled back in time.
Xie Laowai and the others, who were still sitting in the main room, glanced at her with disgust and then ignored her. Confused and bewildered, Xie Chunhua could only reach out her hands, which hadn't been used for work in years, to clear the dishes from the table.
No matter what, she needed to figure out the situation first. She had watched quite a few time-travel dramas, and the female protagonists in those dramas were all chosen ones, each with their own special abilities.
In her past life, she was always considered the luckiest person by others. Did God think she hadn't reached the pinnacle of life yet, so He rewound her and gave her a second chance?
Thinking about this, Xie Chunhua was overjoyed and pondered which talented young man she would marry. Recalling the men who would rise to prominence in the future, she realized she couldn't be narrow-minded and needed to broaden her horizons; after all, adults don't make choices.
Thinking of the days when everyone doted on her, Xie Chunhua got so excited that she dropped all the bowls and chopsticks in her hands on the ground!
The main room was deathly silent; not even a sigh could be heard.
"You're a jinx!" Xie Quanfu couldn't hold back any longer. He grabbed the broom by the door and started hitting her. He had refrained from hitting her earlier when his mother and wife hit her, but this time he really couldn't hold back.
"Ahhh..." In the middle of the night, the sharp cries of the Xie family echoed throughout half the village.
Xie Ming, who had just lain down on the bed, smiled and thought, "Hmm~ One of them is back! Don't worry, they'll all be back by tomorrow morning!"
As for why Xie Chunhua remembered everything first? It's because she's the most vengeful and cunning person. After last night's beating, she'll surely ruin the entire Xie family.
The next morning, the entire Xie Laowai house was filled with earth-shattering noises: "Oh my god!" "Mom!" Only Xie Chunhua's room was unusually quiet.
After a night, she finally figured out when she had returned to. If she had to say what she was most proud of in her past life, it would be that her whole family treated her like a treasure. But last night's violent incident was about to shatter that illusion.
She didn't sleep all night, trying to figure out why things had turned out this way.
However, after hearing the screams of her "most beloved" relatives outside in the morning, she guessed that Xie Ming must have returned as well!
