Chapter 1 Drinking Pesticides



It was the end of June, the heat was at its peak at noon. In the past, the members of Shanzui Village would have been taking a nap at this time, but today they were all gathered in the yard of the brigade headquarters, with three layers of people inside and three layers outside, making it impossible for anyone to get out.

A sharp and piercing roar came from the crowd, "Tell him, if he doesn't come back I will drink pesticide and wait for my body to be collected!"

"Oh my god, did she really drink it?"

"That's 1605 poison!"

"Oh my god, someone is dead!"

Everyone was shouting at once, and the crowd became chaotic.

The captain yelled, "They are all fucking dead, barefoot doctor!"

The secretary glared at him and said in a muffled voice, "Send another telegram, urgently!"

…………

Headache, dizziness and thirst are Lin Lan's biggest feelings about a hangover.

Last night she was in a bad mood and drank two more glasses of wine. She fell asleep as soon as she returned to her apartment. She had nightmares all night and kept hearing the sound of phone calls and knocking on the door.

Unexpectedly, when I woke up, there was a buzzing sound in my ears, disturbing my sweet dream.

"Second brother, do you think Mom...really died from drinking pesticides?"

"Hush, keep your voice down. Mom is acting to scare them so that Dad can come home. Let's go cut the grass."

Lin Lan tried hard to open her eyes, but her eyelids seemed to be stuck with something and she couldn't open them.

After a while, another harsh voice came, "The third child is in the army. I think she has five children and is too busy to take care of her. She is quite good and works wonders all day long. If you don't want to, go back to your parents' home. No one cares about her! Either hang yourself or drink peasants." You think my wife is an eyesore and you want me to die first. Damn it, I’ve never seen such a vicious daughter-in-law! Why don’t you strangle me with a rope? Don’t be lazy.”

Then there was the sound of a door slamming.

What about drinking pesticides and separating?

A mess.

Lin Lan had a splitting headache and it took almost all of her strength to open her eyelids.

What she saw was a narrow and cramped house with no windows, only a torn straw curtain hanging. The walls and roof were all smoky, with long strands of black ash hanging in the corners. Her nose was filled with a mixture of various unpleasant odors. Lin Lan couldn't tell whether it was animal feces or urine, a child's pee, or some moldy or strange smell.

It's really annoying.

Lin Lan's head buzzed, as if struck by lightning - had she traveled through time?

Lin Lan closed her eyes and waited for a long time. When she opened her eyes again, she still saw the yellow mud wall shrouded in smoke and fire.

Now she was sure that she had really traveled through time.

The reason why she was so sure was that some information that did not belong to her had appeared in her mind, just like reading a book or watching a movie, which left a deep impression.

In the 1970s, in Province D, China, there was a small village in the north - Shanzui Village.

The original owner had the same name as her. Her maiden family was Linjiatun, her husband’s surname was Han, and her husband Han Qingsong was a soldier. They had five children.

The original owner had never been to school, and only attended a few days of blind literacy classes, and knew no more than 50 characters. She had been aggressive and had a bad temper since she was a child. She was uneducated and ignorant, and would not calmly think of solutions when she encountered problems. Her most common method was to quarrel, so she was not very popular at her mother's house.

She married Han Qingsong at the age of 16. He was away from home all year round, and she was oppressed by her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law. She could not think of a way to resolve the conflicts and ease the relationship. Her temper became more and more violent, and she would quarrel at any time. Later, she even threatened others by seeking death.

Han Qingsong joined the army at the age of 17. After more than ten years of hard work, he is now a company commander.

The future is bright.

That was why the original owner was worried and always suspected that he looked down on her and wanted to climb up the social ladder once he became successful.

So she had been nagging him to go home and live there, so that he wouldn't be seduced by those educated, young and beautiful vixens out there.

The reason why the scene of drinking pesticides was staged this time was because the original owner heard people talking about a demobilized soldier who brought back accurate news - Han Qingsong had someone outside, who was the daughter of a certain commander!

Han Qingsong's idea of ​​divorcing her became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The original owner went to the commune again and again to send telegrams to the army, insisting that the man retire and return home. If he didn't, she would die! And she would take her five children with her!

When the mother-in-law found out about this, Mrs. Han naturally disagreed. Her son's bright future was the glory and financial support of the Han family. If she brought her son back, wouldn't it be like going back to the days before liberation overnight?

Absolutely not!

Then the original owner asked her mother-in-law to give her her husband's allowance, otherwise she would force the man to go home and no one would be able to get away with it. If she didn't agree, she would take medicine!

She asked her second son Han Wangjun to quietly pick up an empty 1605 bottle and bring it back. She thought that there was no pesticide left and it would not be visible if it was mixed with water, so she pretended to drink the pesticide to scare people.

Of course, it also means showing off to my family.

How could you know that 1605 is extremely poisonous? If the liquid gets on your skin while spraying, you will be poisoned, let alone drinking it directly with water?

Even though she pretended to take a sip, it was enough to make a woman who had been in poor health for many years fall ill.

So Lin Lan came through.

But in the original story, this time the original owner really succeeded.

Han Qingsong was disheartened by the humiliation and had no intention of pursuing a career in politics. He finally applied for transfer to the army and would be returning home in a few days.

However, his return home did not bring harmony to the family, but instead marked the beginning of a tragedy.

The original owner had vowed that as long as the man came home, she would live a peaceful life, but when the man came back, she suspected that he looked down on her and had an affair with another woman. As long as he left her sight to eat a meal, she would suspect that he was having a tryst with someone.

The young girls and wives in the village, even the widows, were all objects of her suspicion.

As long as the man does something that does not go her way, she will make a scene and threaten to kill herself, which eventually leads to the man wanting to divorce her.

Who knew that after she made such a fuss, Han Qingsong died in an accident.

After his death, she became even more twisted. She complained and took her anger out on her children, but at the same time she protected and spoiled them, turning all of them into cripples, and in the end, none of them had a good ending.

etc!

Lin Lan suddenly realized that this familiar plot was like a novel she had read a long time ago. The hero and heroine in the book were childhood sweethearts, busy making a fortune and becoming well-off. The female supporting character was impressive because of her pretentious style. She was the original owner's daughter, Han Mai Sui, who was young, pretty and lively. She was raised by the original owner since she was a child and had a lofty ambition. She always felt that she was a princess and had to get whatever she wanted. Anyone who was not good to her was a bad person. The original owner helped her daughter to entangle the hero, and her sons were also bad in their own ways, and in the end, none of them had a good ending.

The fundamental reason is inseparable from the original owner's education.

She actually dressed like this...

What should she do?

Go back? Impossible.

Running away from home? Divorce?

No one gets divorced these days. If she divorces and only cares about herself, I'm afraid Linjiatun won't be able to accommodate her.

In this age where one cannot survive without a household registration, work points, or a letter of introduction, it seems that she can only survive as the original owner.

But she didn't know if others would be suspicious if she suddenly turned over a new leaf. Even if it did, she really couldn't live the same way as her original owner.

An idea suddenly popped up in her mind. She could use the excuse that she had survived a disaster and was disheartened, and suddenly realized that she should stop dwelling on the past and live a down-to-earth life!

Well, not bad!

It's just that she is suppressed by her mother-in-law and her husband has no feelings for her. It's not a life-threatening matter. She still has many ways to live her life.

The most terrifying thing for her is——
