Chapter 29: The Miserable Times Comparison Group

Xu Chunxiang was so jealous that her eyes turned red and she couldn't bear to watch it anymore!

She turned and walked away.

After returning home, he slammed the door.

Full of anger, with nowhere to vent.

When Zhou Xiaohua heard the sound of Xu Chunxiang slamming the door, she shrank into a small ball and her eyes lost their spirit.

She looked stupid and dazed, with only her pupils trembling.

The little mouth moved as if saying something, but no sound came out.

It became a rather strange scene.

When he was in front of Jiang Rou, he looked so lively and cute, as if he was a different child.

This is what makes the little girl "special".

Zhou Xiaochuan held Zhou Xiaohua tightly in his arms, and the two of them leaned against the corner of the room.

It seems that this can invisibly increase a sense of security.

While Xu Chunxiang was angry and didn't notice the two of them.

Zhou Xiaochuan secretly took out a White Rabbit milk candy.

This is the candy Jiang Rou gave them.

The two that belonged to Zhou Xiaohua had already been eaten by her.

Zhou Xiaochuan couldn't bear to eat it and always saved it for his sister.

Now he took out his White Rabbit candy and gently peeled off the candy wrapper, revealing the candy with milky flavor.

It was stuffed into Zhou Xiaohua's mouth in one go.

He also covered Zhou Xiaohua's mouth with his hand, waiting for the sweet taste of milk to spread in his sister's mouth.

After eating the candy, Zhou Xiaohua's originally dazed expression seemed to become a little more normal.

She blinked and looked at Zhou Xiaochuan in confusion.

Brother, there is candy...

Zhou Xiaochuan lowered his head, made a snorting gesture to Zhou Xiaohua, and then smiled gently at Zhou Xiaohua.

He smiled like this.

Zhou Xiaohua also smiled.

She held the candy in her mouth, clasped Zhou Xiaochuan's body tightly with her little hands, and curled up her little body quietly.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan felt a little relieved.

But a drop of cold sweat was slowly dripping from the corner of his forehead.

The little boy frowned, as if he was trying hard to hold back something.

When everything seemed to be getting better, Xu Chunxiang's roar was heard.

This extremely jealous woman was not satisfied with venting her anger herself, so she directed her anger towards the two children hiding in the corner.

"Zhou Xiaochuan, Zhou Xiaohua, do you know what I saw when I went out to the dock just now? I saw your stepmother again, the shameless woman who refused to leave!"

"She was buying pork at the dock! I saw it clearly, she bought three pounds of pork! Three pounds! It's enough for our family to eat for a year!"

"Just wait and see! That woman will never share the pork with you, not even a piece! This is the stepmother! Remember this, the stepmother is there to abuse wild children like you who have no father or mother!"

Xu Chunxiang judges others by herself.

She herself abused her children and didn't want to give them even a little bit of delicious food, so she thought Jiang Rou was the same kind of person.

She forced the two children to listen to these crazy words and remember them in their hearts.

Zhou Xiaochuan reached out and quietly covered Zhou Xiaohua's ears, not wanting her to hear Xu Chunxiang's sharp voice.

And he thought in his heart.

Pork...

Will she share some with them?

…

the other side.

at the pier.

The lively scene continues.

Jiang Rou bought a lot of things and waited by the side with the things in her hand.

Next are Zhao Guifen and Lin Yulan.

In this gap.

Jiang Rou saw a strange figure in the crowd.

Because that person didn't chat with others, nor did he queue with the sisters-in-law.

Instead, he stood alone at a slightly farther location, gazing into the distance.

The place where her eyes fell was the most crowded and bustling supply and marketing cooperative.

Obviously, she also wanted to buy something, but Hun's noble and aloof nature did not allow her to be like others, huddled together roughly for such a small amount of supplies.

The first time Jiang Rou saw this woman, a person's name flashed through her mind.

——Song Qingqian.

In the original world, she is a very important female supporting character of the period.

It wasn’t because Jiang Rou knew her, but because Song Qingqian’s dress made her so easy to recognize.

A pair of brown lambskin thick-heeled shoes, a light blue dress, a beige sweater, and slightly curly black long hair.

Song Qingqian even wore a small pearl hairpin in her hair.

She was dressed in a gorgeous and elegant outfit, and with that somewhat noble and beautiful face, she could be said to be quite exquisite and beautiful.

Such exquisite beauty is incompatible with this poor and backward little island.

But these things...are Song Qingqian's inner persistence and comfort.

If we say that Jiang Rou is a fake capitalist lady who does not live up to her name.

Then Song Qingqian's background is that of a real capitalist lady, a pure white, rich and beautiful woman.

She comes from the famous city of Shanghai.

The family once owned a department store, two restaurants, three hotels... and countless other businesses, large and small.

Song Qingqian was raised in luxury and was pampered.

However……

No one can escape the tide of the times.

Everything has changed.

The family is undergoing a huge change and the building is about to collapse.

Everyone's fate is like that of an ant, insignificant, yet inescapable.

Song Qingqian's grandfather especially loved this granddaughter.

I couldn't bear to see Song Qingqian suffer.

Therefore, at the last minute, Grandpa Song tried every possible means to arrange a blind date for Song Qingqian.

Song Qingqian's blind date is called He Donglai.

He Donglai, like Zhou Chongshan, was born into a peasant family and was a rough man.

Relying on his life-and-death experiences on the front lines, he made a lot of military achievements and gained a great reputation.

He is a man of steel.

Such a man fell in love with the gorgeous Song Qingqian at first sight during a blind date.

The two of them got engaged and then got married and joined the army.

For Song Qingqian, her marriage to He Donglai was a compromise made under great changes in her family. She had no choice but to agree to it based on her grandfather's final instructions.

She had absolutely no good feelings towards the man with a rough aura.

So even after getting married, I never developed any feelings for that man.

The two have very different personalities, completely different lifestyles, and Song Qingqian's pride that has never been put down...

All these factors combined resulted in Song Qingqian being childless throughout her life and dying of depression when she was less than 35 years old.

Song Qingqian's miserable life became the best contrast for the reborn heroine in the original text.

The original reborn heroine is also a daughter of a wealthy family, but after marrying an old man, she not only put down her airs, but also worked hard to integrate into the island and lived a happy life with a son and a daughter.

In such a contrast, Song Qingqian looks even more miserable.

When Jiang Rou first read the original text, she was deeply impressed by Song Qingqian.

Because she felt sorry for the woman's experience from the bottom of her heart.

I also admire her pride from the bottom of my heart, for she doesn't want her pearl to be covered in dust even if she falls into the dust.

Under so many gazes on the island, Song Qingqian never changed her pride. She wore whatever she wanted and did whatever she wanted.

Isn't this a great courage?

And her marriage with He Donglai was also full of regrets.

After He Donglai fell in love with Song Qingqian at first sight, he paid a lot of price in order to marry her smoothly.

He even submitted a report to his superiors stating that if they did not approve his marriage application, he would rather go home and farm.

The organization valued talents and wanted to keep He Donglai, so they reluctantly agreed to his marriage with Song Qingqian.

But as a corresponding punishment...

He Donglai's promotion was cancelled.

Originally, he could have become a regiment commander like Zhou Chongshan, but he was demoted instead of promoted, and is now only a company commander and was exiled to the island.

During the days on the island, this man had been silently protecting Song Qingqian.

He used everything he had to protect his wife.

Otherwise, Song Qingqian's actions should have resulted in the same treatment as Jiang Rou's in the past few days, and she should have been driven off the island long ago.

However, everything He Donglai did.

Song Qingqian knew nothing about it.

One is a dull person who doesn't know how to express his deep feelings; the other is proud and reserved, unable to humble himself.

These two people wasted their lives in this way, seemingly harmonious but spiritually estranged.

It can be said to be quite sad and desolate.
