Not everyone can choose the most suitable path. "Knowing how their previous marriage died, they still expect love in their second marriage."
Because of Liu Qing's second marriage, Sun Lifang suddenly remembered one of her former "white moonlight" lovers.
A childhood goddess lived next door; she was well-educated, reasonable, gentle, and generous.
A drop of dish soap can wash more than a dozen bowls, making the house sparkling clean and tidy, and giving off a goddess-like aura of soap.
She chose to remarry in 1999.
Yes, that was the year.
Sun Lifang remembers it clearly: her childhood goddess, Sister Haiyan, remarried and chose love again, only to be rejected so badly that even her own mother didn't recognize her.
"Do you know what kind of person she is in my heart?" On the drive there, Sun Lifang talked about her childhood—
“I didn’t like studying when I was little either, so my grandma made a schoolbag for Haiyan using leftover fabric from the tailor’s shop, on the condition that I get tutoring.”
A childhood memory can last a lifetime. Sun Lifang still remembers it vividly. When she was five or six years old, she was dragged by her grandmother to Haiyan's doorstep, all dirty and snotty, with her hands covered in black. The girl turned around.
In the sunlight, her long hair was black and smooth, and she held a gentle orange cat in her arms. Her profile was gentle and quiet. She shushed her, telling her not to move.
Golden sunlight streamed in from behind her as little Sun Lifang tiptoed to watch her older sister Haiyan "cover the fat cat with a blanket."
Sister Haiyan has a beautiful red sweater; with her jet-black hair and fair skin, she looks absolutely stunning in it.
When their mother wasn't around, Haiyan would take the only red sweater and give it to the fat cat to sleep on.
"I will remember that scene for the rest of my life."
That's amazing.
Haiyan was known for her excellent academic performance. Her books were always neatly arranged, as clean as new, and her handwriting was beautiful and neat. "Every time there was an exam, without even looking at the papers, she was always the first one on the red paper."
But this girl, whom Sun Lifang considered "perfect in every way," was utterly destroyed by marriage.
That all happened in a past life.
Sun Lifang sighed and looked at Liu Qing, "Sometimes I wonder if it's just a case of different fates for different people?"
Speaking of Haiyan, that person really had a tough life.
"She is beautiful, academically excellent, gentle, kind, and has no temper."
"At first glance, doesn't she look a lot like me?"
The thought still brings a bitter taste to her mouth, because Sun Lifang realized, "If it weren't for my kind grandmother, I might have ended up like her—"
Haiyan's mother was very cruel to her; when Haiyan was in her second year of high school, she stopped her from continuing her studies.
"Back then, it was popular for every household to make cigarettes. The young girls in the village who made cigarettes could earn twenty or thirty yuan a day."
Back then, earning twenty or thirty yuan a day was a considerable sum.
"In the midst of the fighting, the aunt next door forced Haiyan to come down."
They wouldn't let her study, burned her books, and filled the stove with the firewood, forcing her to work making tobacco.
Who is Haiyan?
A woman who is gentle to the core would never utter a swear word, let alone talk back to her mother.
“She’s very well-behaved, and my mom often tells me to be like her.”
Be a good girl and listen to your mother.
Sun Lifang wouldn't listen to Tian Daying, so Tian Daying always told Sun Lifang to "learn from Haiyan, and do whatever her mother tells her to do."
Which girl doesn't listen to her mother?
Sun Lifang didn't listen to such brainwashing words, but Haiyan really took them to heart and put them into action.
“Her mother told her to come down, so she came down. Her mother told her to give her the money for selling cigarettes for safekeeping, so she handed it over.”
She was a complete mama's girl, to the point that in the end, "her mother told her to get married, so she obediently went on blind dates and married—"
The person her mother approves of.
“The man’s family owned two shops on the street. They gave her mother a dowry of 6,000 yuan and then sold their daughter.”
Sun Lifang remembers all of this very clearly, including how Haiyan, in her previous life, brought her daughter from her first marriage, remarried a college student, had two more children, and yet her husband only gave her 100 yuan a month for living expenses. Sun Lifang remembers all of this very clearly.
As for why I know this, it all started with the fact that Haiyan's eldest daughter once stayed at Sun Lifang's house.
It was probably when Zhou Xinya was in junior high school in her previous life that Haiyan found Sun Lifang and asked her to help pick up her "eldest daughter who was going to Shanghai for an exam because her train was delayed."
At that time, Sun Lifang was already in her forties. After receiving Haiyan's call, she asked her driver to go to the train station to wait for her.
The daughter of my childhood idol was coming to Shanghai to participate in a competition. Haiyan is the kind of person who doesn't like to trouble others. If it weren't for the fact that "the little girl missed the bus and had to reschedule her train for the next one", she would have been able to get her ticket.
Haiyan won't cause trouble for Sun Lifang.
She was in an unfamiliar place, and the train wouldn't arrive until 11 or 12 at night. Where could she go?
When Sun Lifang received Haiyan's call, she learned about her goddess's recent situation: "She's taking care of two little kids and can't leave. I can't leave the older one either. Thank you for your help."
It's a bit heartbreaking to think about. Haiyan remarried with her three-year-old daughter, and fearing that her husband would be unhappy, she put in all her effort to have a second child.
The second child is also a daughter, and her husband still doesn't spend a single penny on her.
With no other option, she steeled herself and gave birth to her third child with her eyes closed.
The third one was finally a boy, but her husband's family was still wary of her, fearing that she would "use her husband's family's money to support her ex-husband's child."
He only gave her about a hundred yuan a month.
Later, when the man's salary was 4,000 yuan, he gave Haiyan 1,000 yuan every month.
