Suddenly, with a "bang," Liu Nian felt a sharp pain on his head, as if he had been hit hard by something.
"Oh dear, who is this? Innocent girls have been defiled!"
"Who would dare to arrange a marriage for her after this? If this girl woke up, I would kill myself. I would be too ashamed to show my face to anyone."
Liu Nian's eyes widened, and she sat up in surprise. She was sitting on a mound of earth in the grove, surrounded by a crowd. Looking down, she saw that she was covered with a patched-up garment.
Her clothes had slipped down with her movements, revealing her torn outer garment and large expanses of her fair skin on her neck.
Liu Nian was somewhat stunned. Wasn't she dead? Before she could think any further, her mother, Liu Hua, threw herself at her, wailing, "My daughter!"
This scene is so familiar; didn't a similar thing happen thirty years ago?
She actually traveled back to 1977!
Liu Nian hugged Liu Hua happily and shouted, "Mom, I missed you so much!"
"What's wrong with you, child? Your body has been ruined, why are you still so happy?" Liu Hua looked at Liu Nian with tears streaming down her face, puzzled.
Liu Nian smiled, her eyes sweeping over the crowd of onlookers. Now that she had been reborn, she would make those who had bullied her pay the price!
"Mom, get up. My innocence hasn't been ruined at all." Liu Nian helped Liu Hua to her feet, dusted herself off, and calmly said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
“Who would believe that?” Wang Xiuzhi, Su Hang’s mother, spoke up. She had been Liu Nian’s mother-in-law for thirty years.
She was carrying a basket and gave Liu Nian a disdainful look, saying, "You were dragged into the woods, all bare-chested, and you still say your innocence hasn't been ruined?"
Liu Hua remained silent, only wiping away her tears.
Liu Nian glared at her fiercely and retorted directly, "What's it to you? Can you shut up?"
Aunt Wang's face changed, and she retorted, "How can you talk to your elders like that? You're a used woman now, how dare you make such a scene?"
"Mom, don't say that. You know I've always liked Liu Nian. If no one dares to marry Liu Nian, I'm not afraid! I'll marry her!" Su Hang pushed through the crowd and stood up, looking at Liu Nian with deep affection.
"You silly child! How can you be so infatuated?" Wang Xiuzhi feigned helplessness. "She's not clean anymore, and you're already being cuckolded before you're even married! Aren't you afraid of being gossiped about behind your back?"
Su Hang knelt down on the ground with a thud and said to Liu Hua resolutely, "Auntie, I'm not afraid of being laughed at by others, I love Liu Nian! I want to marry her!"
"What are you doing, child?" Liu Hua asked, both delighted and touched, as she pulled Su Hang along. "My girl is not good enough for you."
"The eldest son of the Su family is such a good man who values relationships! If Liu Nian marries him, it will be a good match for her."
"The Liu family should provide a larger dowry; we can't let the Su family suffer, don't you all agree?"
Hearing everyone praising Su Hang, Wang Xiuzhi sighed with a wronged expression and said, "What can I do if my son likes me?"
In her previous life, when Liu Nian woke up, she felt like the sky was falling and cried incessantly. When Su Hang proposed, her family and she immediately agreed. After the marriage, however, her mother-in-law and Su Hang would often call her a "loose woman" and look down on her.
Su Hang even refused to consummate the marriage with her because she was not clean, but the Su family needed to continue the family line, so Su Hang used this "reasonable" excuse to bring his mistress into the house.
But who would have thought that all of this was planned by Su Hang and his mistress? It was all to ruin her reputation. Otherwise, why would Liu Nian have fallen for Su Hang? The Su family has a bad social standing, while Liu's father is the village chief. Countless talented young men have been lining up at the Liu family's door.
This is why Liu Nian remained devoted to Su Hang—because he didn't despise her. But the truth was so cruel.
Liu Nian will never repeat the same mistake in this lifetime.
But Liu Hua spoke up at this moment, "Get up quickly, I, I promise!"
