Chapter 1 The truth is false
May 3rd was the day Ruan Fu was released from prison, but her husband and family, who were supposed to be at the door, were nowhere to be seen.
It doesn’t matter. Maybe they are too busy, or they are preparing a surprise for herself at home. Ruan Fu kept comforting herself.
After all, he had endured the ten-year sentence, and nothing could stop the happy reunion of his family from now on!
She returned to the villa happily, expecting to see her family warmly welcoming her, but she only saw an extremely unbearable scene in the bedroom.
Jiang Liling, my former best friend, puffed out her chest proudly, like a proud peacock, eager to declare her sovereignty.
"Afu, our family is living a happy life now, and Linhao already calls me mom."
Lu Lijun's eyes were filled with disgust.
"Since you've seen it, get a divorce as soon as possible. I don't want an old woman who's been to jail, and Lin Hao shouldn't have a mother who's been to jail!"
Ruan Fu stood there in a daze, looking at the two loving and sweet people in front of her, her heart ached.
During the ten years in prison, she looked forward to reuniting with her family every day. When she finally made it through, she never expected this would be the outcome.
When she decided to take the blame for Lu Lijun, her best friend Jiang Liling hugged her and cried sadly, saying that she would take care of her children in the future.
Ruan Fu felt touched at that time.
Unexpectedly, the other party not only took care of the child, but also her husband.
Ruan Fu looked at the man and gritted her teeth, "Lu Lijun! I went to jail because of your crime. Now you do this, do you still have any conscience?"
"For me?" the man sneered.
Just then his cell phone rang. He glanced at the incoming call and pressed the hands-free button.
"...Lijun, this cooperation went very smoothly. You've helped me so many times. Back when there was a big hole in the company's account books, it was you and my mother who secretly asked Ruan Fu to take the blame for me. Otherwise, I would have been in jail."
On the phone, my sister Ruan Hongxing's voice sounded light and cheerful.
It was like a wake-up call, and Ruan Fu felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave.
No wonder Ruan Hongxing happened to be present when the incident happened. It turns out this is the truth. It was all planned by them.
The man hung up the phone and said, "You idiot, did you hear that? It wasn't me who actually sent you to jail. It was your good mother and sister. I was just playing along."
Just a few simple words, like sharp steel needles, pierced straight into Ruan Fu's heart, causing her so much pain that she couldn't breathe.
Why is her life so miserable?
At the age of nineteen, because she was gentle and well-behaved, her grandmother married her off to the long-ill Lai Da as a blessing in exchange for a generous betrothal gift.
The Lai family was harsh and domineering, and as a new daughter-in-law, she suffered a lot and not a single piece of skin was left unharmed.
A year later, her husband died of illness. She finally managed to sneak back to her parents' home and thought she had escaped death, but her stepmother Sun Hongxia tricked her into marrying the poor educated youth Lu Lijun for the second time under the guise of family affection.
From then on, she was infatuated with love and followed this man everywhere.
He lived under a bridge and slept on the street, exposed to wind and sun for more than ten years, but never complained of being tired or suffering.
After working hard for most of his life, he managed to grow his street stall into the multinational group it is today.
In the end, in order to take the blame for her husband, she even gave up the doctorate in medicine that was within her reach and went to jail willingly!
Ten years! She spent a full ten years in prison!
His appearance has aged, his figure has changed, and even his character has become humble and submissive.
In the end, she found that all her years of heartfelt dedication were rewarded with complete betrayal by her family and husband.
Don't they have any heart? How can they keep rubbing salt into their own wounds?
This life is too hard, I can't bear it anymore! Let's just perish together!
Ruan Fu was overwhelmed by the sudden crazy idea and completely lost her mind.
She rushed forward like a madman, baring her white teeth and biting Lu Lijun's shoulder hard.
She used all her strength to bite, the bite was so deep that the bone was visible. Blood immediately flowed out from between her lips and teeth, but she refused to let go.
Jiang Liling didn't expect this woman to be so crazy, and she screamed in fright.
Lu Lijun screamed in pain and struggled desperately, pushing the crazy woman so hard that she fell off the balcony.
Time seemed to freeze at once.
Ruan Fu flew up, fell rapidly in the air, and hit the ground heavily.
The pain came over me like a flood, and the moment I lost consciousness, I could still hear the sharp curses of the two people in my ears.
And then...
It was like having a very long nightmare. Ruan Fu was drowsy and seemed to be floating in the air, unable to land on the ground.
"A little girl is restless and thinks about studying all day long. You are such a traitorous little bitch. I give you face!"
"When it comes to marriage, you have to listen to the elders. You've already received the betrothal gifts, so you have to get married even if you don't want to!"
"Don't think you'll be alright once you die. You can still be buried in the Lai family's grave!"
The cursing, like a broken gong, became louder and louder, giving her a headache.
"Still trying to pretend, eldest daughter-in-law, splash some water on her to wake her up!"
Then a bucket of cold water was poured on his head.
Ruan Fu shuddered and finally opened her eyes.
Only then did I realize there were several people standing in front of me.
The leader was an old village woman with half-white hair. Although she was old, she did not look kind at all. She was glaring at Ruan Fu fiercely, and fire seemed to be spitting out of her eyes.
She recognized the other person and called out in confusion, "Grandma."
"I don't have a granddaughter as embarrassing as you!"
The old woman seemed to be provoked and screamed loudly, "You rely on your years of education, curse a few times and then pretend to jump into the river. Who are you trying to threaten?"
Liu Mei, the aunt next to her, was holding a watering can in her hand with a resentful look in her eyes.
"That's right, you still want to compete with my Zhiguo for the spot, don't you think you have the luck?"
Ruan Fu was confused and looked around blankly.
There was no decent furniture in the room, just a dark wooden table with a peeling enamel pot on it.
Beneath him was a cold earthen bed and rough floral quilt.
A feeling of unreality rose from the bottom of my heart.
This is clearly the small, shabby house where I lived in Lotus Village.
Didn't she fall to her death? Was everything I saw just a dream?
My eyes moved to the New Year picture on the wall. It said 1978, which was the year I was in my third year of high school.
Something is wrong!
She pinched herself hard, it hurt so much that tears were about to come out.
Not a dream!
I really felt like I was back in the 70s!
Seeing that she looked dazed, Old Lady Ruan became even angrier and raised her hand to slap her.
Ruan Fu reacted quickly and dodged backwards flexibly.
Old Mrs. Ruan came up empty-handed and her face became even uglier.
"You black-hearted, rotten-lung little bitch, how dare you hide!"
"Grandma," Ruan Fu shouted with all her might, finally managing to temporarily intimidate the other person with her aura. "If you dare to do anything, I'll go to the village committee and complain! Buying and selling women is illegal these days!"
Good people are often bullied. The more tolerant you are, the less others will take you seriously.
This was a bloody lesson Ruan Fu learned after her death.
I finally have the chance to start over in this life, and I don’t want to swallow my anger like that anymore.
Since this family wants to make her life miserable, then no one can expect to have a good life in the future.
Isn't it just a matter of risking everything? She's not afraid, because she's not the only one who'll be embarrassed!
