"Hiss... My head hurts so much, am I still alive?" Lin Yuexi woke up slowly, feeling as if there were millions of needles pricking her head, causing her to gasp in pain.
As my vision gradually became clear, what appeared before my eyes was actually the scene that had appeared repeatedly in my dreams.
"Damn! Could it be that I really traveled through time?" Lin Yuexi was so shocked that she couldn't help but curse.
Before she had time to digest this bizarre situation, her eyes swept across to the two children opposite her who were staring at her with fear on their faces, and she became even more confused.
What's wrong with these two little ghosts? Why do they look so scared of me?
Lin Yuexi was full of doubts and had no time to think about it carefully.
Suddenly, a strange memory flooded into my mind like a tide.
After digesting this information, she realized that she had traveled to a parallel world in China.
It is now September 18, 1974. The body he is currently occupying is owned by a person named Lin Yuexi, the wife of Lu Cheng, the third son of the Lu family in Qinghe Village.
However, there is no sign of mutual affection in this marriage.
It turned out that five years ago, the original owner Lin Yuexi went to the river to wash clothes, but was so unlucky that she slipped and fell into the water.
Coincidentally, Lu Cheng, who had just returned home from the army to visit his relatives, passed by.
Seeing that the situation was urgent, Lu Cheng knew that saving people was the most important thing. He didn't care about the difference between men and women and jumped into the river to save people without thinking.
The people got ashore safely, but who could have thought that the original owner's parents would have evil ideas and blackmail the Lu family.
She insisted that Lu Cheng hugged and embraced her daughter when he saved her, which ruined her daughter's innocence. She demanded a dowry of 200 yuan and forced Lu Cheng to marry her daughter.
The original owner was extremely reluctant in her heart. She had already been in a relationship with Li Mingyuan, an educated youth in the village, and they were deeply in love.
Li Mingyuan also patted his chest and promised that as long as he received the transfer order to return to the city, he would immediately bring her back to the city to live together and get married.
But the original owner's parents didn't care about these things. In their eyes, Lu Cheng was a golden son-in-law that was hard to find even with a lantern.
Lu Cheng received a monthly allowance of thirty yuan in the army, and the three large tiled houses of the Lu family were all built with Lu Cheng's allowance.
How could they let go of this "good thing" that came out of nowhere? Besides, the original owner was not the biological daughter of stepmother Li Sangru, so they thought they had done their best to raise her.
It didn't matter whether she was willing to get married or not. As long as she could extort 200 yuan of betrothal money from the Lu family, finding a wife for her son would be the top priority.
As for Lu Cheng, he didn't have much resistance to the Lu family's request to marry Lin Yuexi.
It's just marrying a wife, he has to marry her sooner or later. Lin Yuexi is pretty, so it won't be a loss to marry her.
Besides, the army kept urging him to submit a marriage report and said that his allowance would increase after he got married, but he had never met the right one. Now it would save him a lot of trouble and he no longer had to be picky.
But the rest of the Lu family was unwilling to do so. Lu Zhendong and Liu Cuihua had four sons and two daughters. The oldest was a daughter named Lu Shufang, who had already married and started a family.
The eldest of his sons, Lu Jianmin, was married to Li Xiuying from a neighboring village at the time, and his son Lu Wei was already three years old;
The second son, Lu Jianguo, married Wang Xiujuan, and their daughter, Lu Xiaomei, was just over one year old;
The third child, Lu Cheng, is the most promising in the family. After graduating from high school, he joined the army and has had a smooth career. I heard that he is expected to be promoted to a regimental-level cadre in the future.
The fourth child, Lu Weiqing, is in high school, and the youngest daughter, Lu Jingyi, is still in junior high school.
Lu Zhendong and Liu Cuihua were so furious when they saw their most promising son being taken advantage of by the Lin family, the most despised family in the village.
Moreover, Lin Fugui simply ignored Lin Yuexi, the daughter born to his ex-wife, and allowed her stepmother Li Sangru to beat and abuse her. The girl was tortured to the point of being skin and bones, and no one knew if she had any disease.
As for the fall into the water that day, no one knows whether it was an accident or suicide.
They were extremely unhappy about letting Lu Cheng marry such a girl.
But if he doesn't agree, Lin Fugui and Li Sangru will really report this to Lu Cheng's troops, and Lu Cheng's future will be ruined.
Although the couple was very reluctant, they had no choice but to agree when they saw Lu Cheng nodded. They chose an auspicious day nearby to welcome the original owner home.
Lu Cheng also applied for marriage to the army, and the army gave him one month of marriage leave.
In fact, after the marriage, Lu Cheng treated the original owner well at first because he sympathized with her experience in the Lin family.
Who would have thought that Lin Yuexi didn't know when to advance or retreat. During the month that Lu Cheng was at home, she secretly went to meet Li Mingyuan and was caught by Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng was furious at the time and beat Li Mingyuan so hard that his face was bruised and swollen. He also threatened him not to provoke Lin Yuexi again.
After this incident, Lu Cheng felt cold towards the wife he was forced to marry, and soon returned to the army. He was away for five years and did not even return home once.
As for the original owner, she found out she was pregnant right after Lu Cheng left. She wanted to run away, but she couldn't with the baby in her arms. Besides, in this era, you can't go anywhere without a letter of introduction.
So she had to calm down and wait for the birth of the baby. When the baby was full term, she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, with the help of her parents-in-law.
But she didn't have these two children in her heart. She hated them for being a burden to her and didn't pay much attention to them all day long.
At first, Liu Cuihua couldn't bear to see them suffer so she helped take care of them until they were two years old.
But later, some crazy rumors came from somewhere, saying that the two kids were not the sons of her third son Lu Cheng, so she stopped caring about the three of them.
The other members of the Lu family didn't have much of a favorable impression of the original owner, and Lu Cheng hadn't been back for five years, so the Lu family just ignored the mother and her two children, as long as they didn't starve to death.
The original owner had been sick for the past few days and could not go to work. For several days in a row, her mother-in-law Liu Cuihua had asked her eldest sister-in-law Li Xiuying to deliver her meals.
But unexpectedly, Li Xiuying secretly withheld the food of the three of them and ate it.
The original owner was so hungry that his eyes were blurry, so he put all his last bit of strength on the two children, thinking they were a burden to him, and beat them up.
But who would have thought that after beating the child, he would fall headfirst onto the straw bed and fall asleep.
When he opened his eyes again, the original owner's core had been replaced by Lin Yuexi from the 22nd century.
Lin Yuexi was stunned on the spot, and it took her a while to come back to her senses. She accepted the fact of time travel with helplessness.
She looked at the two thin and timid children in front of her, her heart ached. She raised her hand to rub her temples, thinking to herself: Since I have taken over this body, I can't let the children suffer anymore.
She forced herself to get up, still feeling a little dizzy, but gritted her teeth and walked to the wooden basin in the corner to fetch water for the child to wash his face.
The two little guys shrank back in fear, and the boy subconsciously protected his sister behind him. Seeing this, Lin Yuexi felt a pang in her heart and said softly, "Don't be afraid, Mom won't beat you again."
When the voice came out, even she was shocked. Such a gentle tone was rarely seen in her past.
The girl poked her head out and asked timidly, "Mom, are you really not going to beat us anymore?"
