Chapter 1 I was reborn
Jiang Ruoxi opened her eyes wide, her face full of disbelief. She could never have imagined that after finally getting a chance to be reborn, she still couldn't escape the conspiracy carefully designed by her adoptive parents!
She once thought that she could change her fate by starting over, but reality dealt her a cruel blow. What kind of deep scheming and vicious means are these? Is this the suffering she is destined to endure? Jiang Ruoxi bit her lips tightly, her heart filled with anger, unwillingness and despair...
"Ruoxi, your sister Lanlan is weak, and she can't stand the hard work in the countryside, so you should go for her." The adoptive mother wiped her tears hypocritically, but there was no guilt in her eyes.
Father Jiang puffed on his worn-out pipe, and in the smoke, his face, which was deeply marked by time, seemed a little blurry, but his tone was so matter-of-fact: "Yes, Ruoxi, you have been a sensible and well-behaved child since you were young. This time is no exception! Lanlan will take over your job. From now on, our family will depend on her for support. So, you have to bear more responsibility!" After that, Father Jiang took a deep puff of the cigarette, and then slowly exhaled a cloud of thick smoke, as if those words were drifting away in the air along with the smoke.
Jiang Ruoxi stood where she was, her body shaking uncontrollably with anger. Her beautiful face was distorted by anger at this moment, her eyes burning with rage as she stared at the people in front of her who had bullied her.
Thinking back to the hardships and bullying she had endured in her previous life, Jiang Ruoxi's heart was filled with regret and unwillingness. At that time, she was too cowardly. When faced with the oppression of others, she always chose to endure it silently and did not dare to resist at all. However, it was this weakness that led her into a desperate situation step by step, and ultimately she ended up with an extremely miserable end.
But in this life, everything will be different! After experiencing the pain and torture in her previous life, Jiang Ruoxi has completely awakened. She secretly swore that she would never allow herself to be manipulated or swallow her anger like before. After figuring it out, Jiang Ruoxi smiled and said, "Okay, if that's the case, if I'm not good, then no one else should be good either. You all should go to hell with me!"
Jiang's father was shocked by her sudden resistance, and Jiang's mother was furious: "You little bitch, you have grown wings, right? You dare to talk back to us, but you don't even have a say in this family!"
Jiang Ruoxi waved the fire stick at Jiang's father and mother, waving it while saying, "Since I'm not good, no one else should be good. Your daughter is a daughter, but I'm not? Although I was adopted by you, you can't treat me like this. If you want me to go to the countryside for your daughter, you can. For so many years, I've been working like a cow and a horse in your family. I've done all the hard work. If you want me to go to the countryside for your daughter, take out 2,000 yuan to break off the relationship. Besides, what a shitty family, it's been 17 years since you adopted me. I eat worse than pigs, get up earlier than dogs, and work more than cows. What have you done? You wait for me to serve you when you eat, drink, defecate, and urinate. 2,000 yuan to break off the relationship is a bargain for you. If you don't agree, I'll go to the yard and shout that you abused your adopted daughter. I'll see if you can keep your job? Is there anyone who will marry your daughter? Can your son still find a wife?"
"I don't expect you to be nice to me. As long as you give me the money, I will have nothing to do with you from today on! Go and get the money quickly and don't play tricks on me!" After saying that, Jiang Ruoxi turned around and went back to the house to pack up. She knew that it was useless to reason with such a person. She has to rent a house outside, otherwise she will end up on the streets. Jiang Ruoxi packed her few clothes into her bag and suddenly remembered that it was the 1970s and she needed receipts to eat out and buy things. Without receipts and only having money, she could only go to the black market. Jiang Ruoxi thought to herself: I have to get some more receipts.
When Jiang Daguo and Liu Cuilan saw Jiang Ruoxi return to the house, they came to their senses and started to curse: "We have raised this little bitch for so many years in vain, and we have given her food and drink, yet she dares to come and hit us."
Liu Cuilan looked at Jiang Daguo and said, "Old man, what should we do? Should we really give her money? We still need to use the money in our family to marry our son."
Jiang Daguo took two puffs of his pipe and hooked his fingers. Liu Cuilan came over and heard Jiang Daguo say, "You just cried about being poor and said that our family has no money, but that damn girl wanted money. You sat on the ground and cried and rolled around. Let's see if she has any shame."
Liu Cuilan:... "You feel ashamed, but I don't."
Liu Cuilan hesitated for a moment and finally did as Jiang Daguo said. She sat down on the ground and started crying loudly, telling me how poor her family was. Hearing the noise, Jiang Ruoxi walked out of the room and sneered, "Stop acting. You have been exploiting me for years, and you have bribed the Revolutionary Committee, your director and other leaders. How could you be out of money? Who would believe me if I told you that? If you don't want to be reported, just give me the money honestly. If you don't have money, go and get it together. In three days, I must get the money and the receipt. Don't think about killing me. As long as something happens to me, the report letter will immediately appear on the desk of the director of the steel plant, the mayor, and even the Public Security Bureau. If you don't believe me, just try it!"
The two looked at each other, their eyes full of panic. In the end, they were reluctant to lose everything they had, so they had to collect money and give it to Jiang Ruoxi.
Jiang Daguo and his wife went out to collect money, and Jiang Ruoxi began to look around the house for places to hide things. Finally, a secret compartment was found under Jiang Daguo's bed, which contained an account book, a box of small yellow croakers, and a lot of banknotes. After seeing clearly, Jiang Ruoxi did not touch the things inside. After she recovered, she thought about having a chance to wipe out Jiang Daguo in one fell swoop.
