"You said your sister hasn't breathed her last for three days. Why don't you just remove the oxygen tube from her body?"
"Scar! Don't talk nonsense, she's not dead yet! What if she hears it?"
"I heard it, she's like that, can she still jump up and hit you? Look at the way you look like a bear, if you don't do it, then let me do it!"
"Nonsense! She didn't even know where she put her passbook, and she even told us the password. How can we get the money now that she's dead?"
Ye Li was lying on the bed, dying, when he could hear the sarcastic conversation between his brother and sister-in-law.
She wanted to cry after hearing this, but not a single tear came out.
During the three days when she was seriously ill, she didn't know how many times she heard such words.
Before she died, she heard an extremely heartbreaking secret. In order to deceive her, her mother had kept it in her heart for her entire life and carried it into the coffin.
If her brother hadn't said it himself, she would probably never understand it until her death.
...
...
I worked hard all my life, and my blood and flesh were squeezed dry by my mother's family, but in the end I ended up with this tragic ending.
Since we are all going to die, let’s die early and be free.
Ye Li trembled his fingers, gritted his teeth, and pulled out his oxygen tube.
The oxygen in the lungs is decreasing, my vision is becoming more and more blurred, and my consciousness is gradually fading away.
Just when her soul was about to leave her body, she seemed to see her husband, whom she had divorced and had not seen for many years, appear in front of her bed.
He held her hands tightly. His wrinkled face was handsome, but his eyes were red and he looked so painful and sad.
He kept saying something anxiously, but she couldn't hear a word he said.
At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: we are not destined to be together in this life, but if there is a next life, I will never let you down again.
"Jiang..." She opened her mouth with difficulty, but didn't even get her name out. She let out a gurgling sound in her throat and took her last breath!
"Sister! Ye Li! Ye Li!" Ye Chunwang shook her angrily, "Where's the passbook? Where's the password? You old fool, how dare you pull out the oxygen tube yourself!!"
Time just came to an abrupt end, and Ye Li's life ended at the age of fifty!
…
"We workers have power! Hey, we workers have power! We are busy every day..."
Ye Li was awakened by a familiar song coming from the loudspeaker. She opened her eyes and found herself lying on a table.
The environment in front of me seemed strange yet familiar: the green filing cabinet, the stool with a missing corner, and the white enamel pot on the windowsill with three words written on it: Weaving Factory.
Just as she was in a trance, she heard someone rushing into the office shouting.
"Ye Li! Ye Li!"
When Ye Li looked up, she saw an old lady with bound feet rushing in at the door. It was her former neighbor, Aunt Er.
"Ouch! Ye Li, your mother asked you to go back quickly. If you go back too late, you might not be able to see her!"
As soon as Ye Li heard these words, his confused thoughts immediately became clear.
She was reborn in 1976!
This year she was just 20 years old, and it was also the year she married that man!
Hearing that her mother was dying, her colleague hurriedly urged Ye Li to go back and check on her. He also took the initiative to lend her a bicycle, and told her to be careful on the road and not to be too anxious.
After leaving the weaving factory, Ye Li rode his bicycle back.
It is spring, the sun is shining brightly, the streets are lined with pink peach blossoms and green willows, the spring scenery is harmonious and pleasing to the eye.
She admired the bright spring sunshine, and an indescribable excitement surged from the bottom of her heart.
God gave her a chance to live again, and she swore to live her life to the fullest!
While riding back, Ye Li sorted out his memories and thoughts from his previous life.
In her previous life, this second aunt was also like this, coming and going for a while, and brought her such scary news.
At that time, she thought something had happened to her mother, so she rode back desperately. Only after she got home did she find out that she had been tricked into coming back for a blind date!
It was just because the man she wanted to see was in such a special situation, and he was afraid that she would not come back, so he found an excuse to deceive her.
All her life she knew what was going to happen next, so she rode home in no hurry.
After returning to the compound, she parked the car aside and walked into the yard.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw that the neighbors had blocked their doors tightly.
"What are you looking at? What are you looking at?" Er Mengzi, a homeless man who had just woken up from a nap, came over and stretched his neck to look inside. "Could it be that Aunt Zhuang had a fight with someone again and was kicked into the toilet?"
Aunt Li: "What are you talking about? Aunt Zhuang is looking for a son-in-law today..."
"Tsk. This old lady is very partial. She gave all the good candidates to her second daughter, and pushed the remaining ones that no one else liked to her eldest daughter. There is absolutely no chance of success."
"This will definitely work today!" Aunt Li looked confident.
"Why are you so sure?"
"Just watch!"
Er Mengzi was puzzled: "Could it be that this man has three heads and six arms? Or can he transform into seventy-two different forms?"
Ye Li's lips curled up slightly: No!
It was only because Aunt Zhao knew her mother's character too well that she was so sure that this would succeed.
"I'm back. Please make way for me, uncles and aunts." Ye Liliang shouted at the top of his voice, and it sounded crisp and beautiful.
Seeing her walk briskly inside, the neighbors looked at her with some subtle expressions, some even expressed regret:
"What a pity, what a pity..."
"This Aunt Zhuang is really too cruel. This is her own daughter!"
As they were muttering to each other, the door opened.
Ye Chunwang hurriedly pulled Ye Li aside and warned her in a low voice: "Sister, our mother said that this man is not bad and will definitely be able to give a lot of gifts. You should be sensible when you meet him later. Don't be like those people before and don't give any face at all."
Ye Li turned a deaf ear to this and pushed the door open and walked into the house.
Ye Chunwang followed in, found a place to squat, and waited to hear the result.
"Why did you come back just now! I've been waiting for you for so long!" Zhuang Shihong was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed. The first thing he said when he saw Ye Li come in was to complain.
Ye Li glanced at her and teased her expressionlessly: "I heard from Second Aunt that you were dying, so I rushed back at full speed and almost died on the way. In the end, you are fine, aren't you?"
Hearing the clear and pleasant voice, the man sitting in the wooden wheelchair suddenly raised his head.
Ye Li's gaze also instantly looked over, and for a moment, the two of them looked at each other.
It’s him, it’s really him!
Things were happening according to plan, just like in the previous life.
Ye Li quickly glanced at his legs and immediately looked away.
At this time, the matchmaker Aunt Wang stood up, grabbed Ye Li's arm, brought her to the side of the man, and introduced her with a smile: "Ye Li, come, let me introduce you to this aspiring young man in front of you - Jiang Xun. Oh, Jiang Xun is a retired soldier. He is very smart and has made many great contributions! Although he has just returned from the army, the country has arranged a job for him in a machinery factory... The machinery factory is a factory with tens of thousands of people! Many people want to get in but can't! But Jiang Xun is different, he can get in anytime he wants! The factory directors are all looking forward to meeting this hero... It's just a pity that... his legs... are not very agile. But look at how handsome his face is, you would say he is a handsome man wherever you go..."
Aunt Wang's mouth kept firing like a machine gun, and she was afraid that if she stopped, Ye Li would reject her.
After saying all this, I almost passed out!
She used all the nice words she had learned in her life on Jiang Xun, and the flattery they gave each other made Jiang Xun blush.
He looked down at his disabled and immobile legs, and clenched his fists tightly.
Ye Li glanced at Jiang Xun's blushing face and couldn't help but smile.
She said, "Auntie Wang, please stop talking."
"Ah?" Aunt Wang was stunned, afraid that she would not agree. "Ye Li, I haven't finished speaking yet, don't be impatient, let me say a few more words!"
Zhuang Shihong was also afraid that Ye Li would disagree, so he hurriedly said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Let Aunt Wang finish her talk, and then you can decide!"
"I understand the situation." Ye Li looked at Jiang Xun with a pair of clear and bright eyes, "I agree to this marriage."
"What?" Both families were stunned after hearing this.
"Girl, what did you say?" Zhuang Shihong was stunned. "Did I hear it right?"
"Yes!" Seeing Jiang Xun's surprised face, Ye Li smiled shyly, "Jiang Xun, I agree to this marriage. I am willing to marry you!"
"Ouch!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Whether it was Ye Li’s mother Zhuang Shihong, or his younger brother Ye Chunwang, even Jiang Xun’s mother Zhao Xingmei breathed a sigh of relief.
The atmosphere instantly became relaxed.
Aunt Wang plopped down on a chair, picked up the big teacup and gulped down the water. After drinking it all, she grinned and said, "Oh, if I had known you were so happy, I wouldn't have wasted so much effort!"
"Then what should we do next? Let's talk about the issue of the bride price?" Zhuang Shihong's eyes were bright and his legs were shaking on the head of the bed with excitement.
I was worried that this girl would resist, but I didn't expect her to agree so immediately.
Could it be that I took the wrong medicine?
She glanced at Ye Li and saw that she looked normal, so she was secretly happy. Who cares about her? As long as she agreed to marry him, it would be fine.
"Yes, yes, yes, bride price! Dowry is a big deal!" Ye Chunwang, who had been squatting in a corner waiting for the result, was so happy that his mouth almost grinned to the back of his head.
"Girl, tell me, how much do you want?" Zhao Xingmei leaned forward and asked Ye Li's opinion.
Ye Li glanced at her mother and brother, who were greedy for money, and cleared her throat gently, saying loudly: "Aunt, I don't want a dowry! I am willing to marry him!"
“Huh——”
This sentence was like a drop of cold water falling into a boiling oil pan, and the atmosphere inside and outside the house instantly began to boil.
