It only took her a short year to go from hope to disappointment to despair.
She had no idea who to blame. What sins had she committed in her past life that fate had arranged for her to transmigrate?
Now that the real Wei Lao Er has returned, she knows deep down that she has no hope left.
That man looked exactly like Wei Baidao and Wei Baide, except he was a little fairer-skinned. Everyone who saw him would say they were brothers.
They were all equally ugly, just like her mother-in-law.
Fortunately, the food at home improved a lot after they returned. Not only did that person come back on his own, but he also brought his adoptive mother with him.
That foster mother had money; as long as there was some commotion at home, we could always get some money out of her.
Life got better, and Wei Baidao and Wei Baide stopped going to work and bought food to eat.
It also saved the people in the brigade from pointing fingers at them.
The only downside is that this adoptive mother has a terrible temper and gets angry easily, so everyone in the family has to give in to her.
She didn't really care at first, seeing Wei Lao Er coaxing people like a grandson.
It wasn't until a fellow educated youth from the next brigade, who lived on the same street as her family in Shanghai, returned from visiting relatives and told her that this woman had actually been sent by Su Ti.
She had a good relationship with that educated youth; they were from the same neighborhood, and both families had many children who were not favored.
She overheard her mother chatting with someone, talking about how much Su Ti was enjoying life in Beijing.
She also said she would go back to Shanghai for the Chinese New Year and would definitely visit her grandparents, bringing her many nice gifts.
They also said that Suti was very capable; her mother-in-law wanted to keep the fake one in Beijing as well, but Suti cried, made a scene, and even threatened to hang herself.
In the end, the old marshal had no choice but to drive the person away. The old woman realized she had messed up, so she tried to appease her.
But Suti is so amazing. She only said one thing: "If my mother-in-law is here, it's not me." Everyone knows that Suti's husband treats her like a treasure.
If she hadn't stayed, her husband would definitely have left too. The family was in a huge uproar, and it was only after Suti's mother-in-law gave in.
She decided to address the problem at its root. Knowing that they had suffered a lot in the countryside, she decided to take revenge on them to make amends.
After a final discussion, they decided to follow their adopted son to the countryside to look for trouble.
At first, Su Nianyou didn't believe it, but that was the impression Su Ti gave her—no one could rival her.
To say that she could control a mother-in-law was a piece of cake for her.
Also, all of this was said by her mother. How did her mother know this? She must have heard it from her aunt showing off.
Who knew that she would overhear a fellow educated youth returning home to visit their families, otherwise she would have remained completely in the dark.
From then on, she kept a close eye on Li Ci, fearing that she would retaliate against her, seeing her causing trouble and disrupting the peace of the family.
By giving her a sweet treat after each beating, he managed to appease the whole family, clearly intending to get them all to unite against her.
Despite her best efforts to prevent it, she couldn't stop herself. The woman pushed her, causing her to go into premature labor. She was trying to kill her!
"Pah, you little slut, you want me to take care of you during your postpartum period? You wish!"
"Who told you to eat my malted milk powder? I said a few words to you and you fell down, and now you want to blame it on me?"
"You call the police? I'll call the police too! You're a thief!"
Time is a powerful tool that can change people. In a short period of time, the once unapproachable only daughter of Marshal Li in Beijing has changed completely.
She keeps calling people "little bitch" and spews filth from her mouth.
If Marshal Li were here, he probably wouldn't even recognize this daughter; Li Ci's face is full of hostility right now.
I'm already getting on in years. I hadn't suffered much before and took good care of myself, so it was fine. But in such a short time, my skin has become dark, yellow, and rough.
The food and clothing here are poor, and we still have to work.
A house full of elderly, weak, sick and disabled people are waiting for her to pay for their care, and yet she still dares to give her attitude. What gives her the right?
Especially this Su Nianyou, I heard she's her daughter-in-law's sister, she's the one who's the most boisterous.
They're trying every possible way to torment her; she's definitely getting revenge on her and trying to stand up for her sister. Neither of them are good people.
“You pushed me. There were only the two of us in the room at the time. I fell to the ground covered in blood, but many people saw it.”
"I almost lost my life, and you still want to report it to the police? Do you dare?" Su Nianyou thought about how she almost died, and only then did she realize how precious life is.
She had a vague feeling that she could never go back after she died, and she gave birth to the child with all her might.
She thought it was a son, but it turned out to be a girl. Wei Baidao was so angry when he saw it that he turned around and left, and no one paid any attention to her.
She had been hungry all day, and she knew she would die if she continued like this.
"I'm not afraid of you. Go ahead and report it. If I get arrested, your whole family will starve to death."
Li Ci wasn't worried at all; she saw right through the Wei family members.
"What's all the fuss about? It's no big deal, aren't you perfectly fine now?" Qi Bowen, now Wei Bowen, jumped out first upon hearing Li Ci's words.
He's had enough of life in the countryside and is currently trying to find a job in the county town.
I'm starting to get a feel for things; all that's left is to give them some gifts and build some connections.
He also needs money for his job, and he has to rely on Li Ci for all of that. He has tried many ways to coax money out of her, but he has not been able to.
He had searched secretly, but found nothing. He remembered that when he left Beijing that day, those people had thoroughly searched her body.
Wei Bowen had no idea where she hid her money or how much she had left.
He knew that Li Ci no longer trusted him, but he couldn't just stand by and watch her get into trouble; she was his last resort.
"Who do you think you are? You have no share in this family. The family has already split up. This house belongs to our family and my eldest brother's family."
"Now that I've taken you in, you're not grateful at all, and you still dare to talk to me like that?" Su Nianyou was furious with the two of them.
They might all have been sent by Suti, and they all want to ruin her. Suti is a vicious woman.
"Alright, let's go. We'll go to the brigade and find someone to rent a house, or we can build one ourselves."
Upon hearing this, Li Ci looked completely indifferent.
Actually, she was very panicked. If she could leave, she would have left already, as she didn't have much money left.
She had secretly hidden over a hundred yuan and some receipts before leaving, but now she had almost spent it all. However, she couldn't show her weakness now.
"No, no, we're all family. Bowen and I are brothers. How can you compare us to other families?"
Wei Baidao had been watching from the sidelines for a long time. He didn't intend to stop Su Nianyou from making a fuss; if she gained anything, it would be hers.
But Su Nianyou is as useless as ever. If they get rid of this cash cow, they won't have the good life they have now.
"Hmph, your wife said that we have no share in this house, and we don't want to stay here and be at the mercy of others."
Seeing his expression, Li Ci knew she had made the right bet. She needed a definite answer, or she would suffer the consequences later.
