Chapter 1: I was a housewife in my previous life
In the midsummer of 1984, in a small mountain village in Fengcheng.
When Hang Heini thought everything was over, she heard a familiar voice in her ear.
"Ni, aren't you hurting your parents' feelings?" Wang Silan cried with tears on her face as she looked at her daughter who was rescued from hanging herself.
When she opened her eyes, Hang Jingshu felt weak and her neck was aching, but the familiar old house in front of her reminded her that this was not a dream.
She can actually come back.
In his previous life, he skipped a grade and took the college entrance examination with his third brother Hang Chenggang, but the final results were very different.
The third brother Hang Chenggang performed exceptionally well and was admitted to a key university in Beijing, but he himself failed the entrance exam because of his weakness in mathematics.
Hang Heini has been an excellent student since childhood. The reason why she was able to take the college entrance examination together with her third brother Hang Chenggang was because Hang Heini skipped a grade when she was young.
Her family felt that the two girls could take better care of each other in the same class, so they agreed to let Hang Heini skip a grade.
It can be said that Hang Heini's academic journey was smooth sailing all the way, which also made her arrogant and conceited, thinking that she was superior to others.
I didn't expect to fail so badly in the college entrance examination. Not only did I have no chance of getting into an undergraduate program, I even failed to get into a junior college or a technical high school.
Hang Heini couldn't accept this result. However, people from her family kept coming to congratulate her third brother, and even people from other villages and counties came to ask about learning methods.
Mo Xiaojuan from the same village often came over and talked nonsense to Hang Heini.
"Ni, does your family favor boys over girls? I'm not letting you repeat at the crucial moment."
"Hey, Qi Shaoming asked me about you. Everyone in the class thinks you two are a perfect match."
After these stimulations, Hang Heini could not accept the result of failing the exam and did not want to look for a job.
At this time, the eldest sister Hang Danv came with a message and introduced a job to Hang Heini - to be a nanny in the compound.
Isn't this an insult?
She just couldn't understand why she failed all three of her choices when she estimated her scores were good enough to get into a junior college?
Hang Heini was hit hard in her previous life. Coupled with the constant stimulation from Mo Xiaojuan, and the fact that her job as a nanny had no future, the young and hot-tempered Hang Heini directly chose to hang herself.
Of course, he didn't die by hanging himself, but instead irritated his parents who had loved him since he was a child.
Hang Renshan, the biological father, gritted his teeth and went to his old aunt's house in the city, with whom he had long since severed ties, to borrow money. Not only did he fail to borrow the money, he was also scolded and kicked out.
Although college tuition is free, you still have to pay for books, living expenses, and daily necessities.
It is not easy to produce a college student in rural areas nowadays, but in fact technical secondary schools and high schools are more popular!
There are also people in the next village who tore up their admission letters and refused to go to university.
There’s no way, I can’t afford it!
Without a strong laborer at home, there will never be enough work to do!
This kind of thing may sound strange now, but it was common in rural areas in the 1980s, and even in the early 20th century, it still happened occasionally.
The gap between the rich and the poor is so obvious that the really rich people in the Qing Dynasty could go abroad, while those who had no money and power had problems even having enough food and clothing!
Hang Heini was not convinced and wanted to repeat her studies, but the universities in Beijing were obviously more important, and it was difficult to have the best of both worlds.
Hang Chenggang favored his younger sister and simply tore up the university admission letter.
He was confident that he could do anything if he learned well, so he simply went to work with the villagers.
As a result, Hang Heini failed the exam again the following year.
After a series of setbacks, Hang Heini was too embarrassed to ask for repeat grades. She went to the city to work and started a relationship with her classmate Qi Shaoming.
Qi Shaoming was admitted to a university in Jinshi. When they were in love, Hang Heini spent a lot of money on him. She placed all her regret of not being able to go to university on Qi Shaoming!
It was not until the eve of their marriage that Hang Heini found out that Qi Shaoming took advantage of the fact that they were separated to have more than one relationship in school, and even wanted to dump her after graduation!
In the end, it was his biological mother Wang Silan who stepped in and forced Qi Shaoming to marry her.
After getting married, Hang Heini worked hard, serving her parents-in-law and taking care of her husband and children. With a high school degree, tutoring the two children was not a problem, but so what?
Still being looked down upon.
Even the children later felt that they were not presentable enough.
After being a mother all my life, giving birth to children, I am always blamed and treated coldly in the end.
When Hang Heini was in her thirties and forties, she was so tired that she bent over and looked like an old lady in her fifties or sixties. When she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, she would always toss and turn in her thoughts.
She feels unworthy of herself!
She just couldn't understand it. She usually had good grades and didn't write anything wrong when estimating her scores and applying for college. So how come she couldn't even get into a junior college?
What's the point of being a housewife all your life?
No one will appreciate your work, and if you don't do it well, you will be despised.
There is no job, housewives just have no salary!
What's wrong with working as a nanny in a large compound? Going out from a small mountain village will broaden your horizons. You can still cook and do the same work, but you can still get paid.
When people have no real power, their arrogance is worthless and may even be considered as being too ambitious.
Being able to have the opportunity to live a new life, Hang Heini no longer looked down on her family for not giving her up in her previous life. Instead, she was full of gratitude!
If I were to start over again, I would never live like that again in my life!
Everything must be cut off at the source!
Working as a nanny in a compound not only pays well and requires little work, but you can also broaden your horizons there.
In my previous life, I was busy reviewing, and I let Mo Xiaojuan take the job introduced by Sister Hang. Later, her whole family moved to the county town!
It is no exaggeration to say that the world has been completely changed.
Later, Mo Xiaojuan's family took advantage of the new wind of reform and rose rapidly to become a well-known wealthy family in the local area.
Later, the glamorous Mo Xiaojuan met the shabby-dressed Hang Heini, and the mockery in her eyes was undisguised:
"Hang Heini, I have to thank you. If you hadn't insisted on repeating, this good job wouldn't have fallen into my hands."
Her husband Qi Shaoming was in a state of disrespect outside, and Mo Xiaojuan, who thought she was a friend, took advantage of her misfortune. Her two children looked down on her. In the end, Hang Heini died of a serious illness with resentment and resentment.
The days always make us more sober, and after dying once, a person can be reborn.
Only then did Hang Heini realize that her family was the only people in this world who truly wished her the best.
Since her family had no money, she went out to work and went to college on her own!
Looking at her mother's face full of wrinkles, Hang Heini, who had just come back to life, had red eyes. She couldn't help but hug her mother Wang Silan and cry loudly. With the marks on her neck, she looked miserable and pitiful.
Hang Renshan sat on the edge of the kang, looking at the mother and daughter crying, and stood up with determination: "Ni, don't cry, Dad will go to your aunt to borrow money."
Seeing Hang Renshan getting up and about to go out, Hang Heini ignored the burning pain on her neck and directly stood up and grabbed her father Hang Renshan's clothes, saying in a hoarse voice: "Dad, don't go!"
Hang Renshan's eyes flushed: "Ni, don't worry, Dad will definitely be able to lend you the money, don't think too much, okay?"
Hang Heini's tears flowed even more profusely after hearing this. She grabbed the corner of Hang Renshan's clothes tightly and said firmly:
"Mom and Dad! It's the daughter who is unfilial. After dying once, the daughter has figured things out. I am willing to work as a nanny in the compound!"
If I were to live my life over again, I would never make the same mistake again!
Wang Silan and Hang Renshan looked at each other and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.
"Ni, don't be so stubborn. If you want to repeat, let's go!" Hang Renshan made up his mind. He didn't want to make the young lady feel uncomfortable. As a real man, it doesn't matter if a man suffers a little grievance. He can't bear to see the young lady depressed anymore.
Seeing that her parents didn't believe her, Hang Heini wiped away her tears and said to them with a smile:
"I figured it out! A nanny's monthly salary is equivalent to that of a worker. I will make money first, and then study again. We will definitely have two college students in our family!"
When I was in high school, many people in the village used to speak in sarcastic terms.
Go around the village and find out how many girls have never been to school, and how many primary school graduates are not allowed to go home.
The Hang brothers and sisters are such good students that they rank among the best in the county.
The brother and sister are trying to make their parents proud, so their parents have to support them no matter what they have. However, Hang Cheng just got admitted to a university in Beijing, and Hang Heini has to repeat her studies.
Even if the couple sold everything they had, there was nothing left to sell.
The villagers were jealous of Hang Chenggang for getting into university, and Hang Heini's failure gave them a chance to show their talents.
Those gossipy women in the village say all kinds of things.
Hang Heini just couldn't see clearly when she was young. In fact, the job introduced by Hang Danv is also very good.
It is said that the client is a retired senior leader of the compound. Working as a nanny in their home not only earns high wages with little work, but also allows one to broaden her horizons.
It is said that this opportunity is fleeting. Since I failed to repeat what I learned in my last life, I will find a roundabout way to save the country in this life!
After living a lifetime, I realized that no matter what, the money you earn is yours!
No matter what kind of man or child you are, it is not as important as living a wonderful life yourself!
What's wrong with being a nanny? As long as you do your job well, there will be many people vying for you.
Once you make the money, you are still young and have the confidence to do anything!
Thinking of this, Hang Heini did not hesitate and said directly to Wang Silan, "Mom, tell my elder sister that I am willing to be a nanny. When I am ready, I will go for an interview."
Wang Silan wiped away her tears and said, "Hey, my dear girl, it's good that you have figured it out. Your elder sister will come in a couple of days, and you can tell her yourself!"
Hang Heini looked at her mother's fingers with deformed and rough joints, lowered her eyes and bit her lips hard to prevent herself from crying.
Holding her mother's hand, Hang Heini felt mixed emotions. "Mom, I've figured it out. Where's my brother? I'll talk to him."
