Chapter 1 Nightmare

June 1968, Anseong.

In the ward, the girl with a delicate face struggled to open her eyes. Looking closely, one could see that the girl looked sick.

"Hmm~"

"Nannan, Nannan, my Nannan! You finally woke up!" The woman rushed over excitedly.

"Mom~" the girl called out, her voice sounding like a cat, so weak that it was almost inaudible.

"Mom is here, don't be afraid! Mom is here." The woman carefully raised the girl's head a little higher.

…

Half an hour had passed since Lin Qing woke up. He was lying in the hospital ward, staring at the ceiling in a daze, thinking about what had happened before.

She remembered that she seemed to have a fever. This time the illness was more severe than ever. She felt like she was going to die. Fortunately, after lying in bed for two days, she managed to survive.

She was completely stunned now. She couldn't believe that everything she had dreamed before was real.

This story started a week ago when her mother wanted to introduce her to someone...

The day before, Lin Qing had a very scary dream. In the dream, she said she was living in a book. She saw her mother introducing her to a person who was a fourth-level clamper in a machinery factory who was a widow with two children.

She didn't think it was strange. After all, she had been in poor health since she was a child. She was raising the child for her own health. Otherwise, no one would marry her in such a good condition.

This is nothing, the most horrifying thing is that her niece, who was born in the same year as her, actually wanted to snatch the blind date from her, and the most important thing is that she succeeded.

Moreover, she also saw that her niece deliberately brought the man to show off in front of her in order to make her sickly aunt realize the fact and stop competing with her niece for the man. In the end, "she" was successfully angered to death.

This dream finally succeeded in waking her up.

Lin Qing felt that she had this dream tonight because her mother had recently arranged a blind date for her. Yes, that must be the case. Everything in the dream was fake.

I muttered this to myself for a while and then went back to sleep.

The next day at lunch, Lin Qing heard her mother mention introducing her to someone.

Lin Qing: This is all just a coincidence, right? It must be.

At this moment she still couldn't make the connection with yesterday's nightmare.

But just after her mother finished introducing the man's situation, suddenly, her niece, who was the same age as her, slammed the table and stood up.

Lin Qing was so frightened that he trembled and his face turned pale little by little.

Lin's mother's face suddenly turned cold, "Lin Shu, what do you mean by slamming the table?"

Lin Qing felt a little uneasy at this moment, and looked at Lin Shu, wanting to hear what she wanted to say.

Under the gaze of everyone at the table, Lin Shu said angrily, "Grandma, I don't agree."

Lin's mother sneered, "You don't agree? What does it have to do with you? I introduced a partner to your aunt, what does it have to do with you?"

"How come it's none of my business? I like Jiang Yang, the guy you mentioned, too. Why did you introduce him to my aunt?"

Her mother Zhang Mei pulled Lin Shu and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your grandmother introduced her to your aunt, not to you."

On the surface, what she said sounded like advice, but her underlying meaning was somewhat sinister.

"Huh, what are you two talking about?"

"Mother-in-law! Our Xiao Shu is the same age as my sister-in-law. Don't just introduce such a good partner to my sister-in-law and forget about my Xiao Shu!" Zhang Mei also liked the conditions of the man that Lin's mother had just mentioned.

But there is one bad thing about this man, that is, he is a widower and has two children, so she wants her mother-in-law to introduce someone with similar conditions, but he must be unmarried for her Xiao Shu.

"I don't want anyone else, I want Jiang Yang." Lin Shu thought her mother wanted to introduce her to someone else, but she didn't want to, so she asked Lin Qing directly, "Aunt, can't you find another man? You must snatch a man from me."

Lin Qing was directly shocked by her question.

"Cough cough cough." Lin Qing was choked.

"Nannan, Nannan." Lin's mother was also shocked by this sudden change, and hurried to pat her back, and Lin's father followed quickly to pour her a glass of water.

Lin Shu and her daughter were also shocked by this sudden change. It would be bad if something happened to their aunt.

Lin Qing managed to suppress his cough with great difficulty, and his father and mother finally felt relieved.

Finally, there was time to point the finger at the culprit, "Lin Shu, are you going to heaven? Huh?"

Lin Shu's lips trembled slightly. She looked at her sickly and weak aunt. It was always like this. As long as her aunt did something wrong, all the good things in the house would be given to her. Why? Why was it so unfair?

She gritted her teeth and said, "Am I wrong? Why did my aunt want to snatch a man from me? Is it because she is not in good health?"

Her words directly touched the sore spot of Lin's father and mother. When Lin's mother was pregnant with Lin Qing, she didn't even know she was pregnant at first. In addition, her daughter-in-law was also pregnant so she was focused on taking care of her. Unexpectedly, she exhausted herself. She went to the hospital for a check-up and found out that she was also pregnant.

At that time, they thought about aborting the child, but because the baby was already very old and fully formed, they as parents could not bear to abort the child, so they decided to give birth to the child.

Unfortunately, due to the fatigue in the early stage, she could only stay in bed and rest in the later stage. But even with bed rest, the baby did not stay in her belly for a full month. It was born prematurely at just seven months, earlier than the baby in her daughter-in-law's belly. So they, as parents, were filled with infinite guilt towards this child.

So Lin Shu's question directly touched the hearts of Lin's father and mother. Why was their daughter so sick? Wasn't it because she had to take care of her mother, the daughter-in-law, or because she was pregnant with her granddaughter?

She took such good care of them, mother and daughter, but now they are asking her why she is so partial?

Haha! How ridiculous, so ridiculous!

Lin Qing looked at his parents' graying hair and felt sorry for them getting involved in such a family dispute, so he took the initiative to ask, "Xiao Shu, are you sure you really like him?"

"I like it, will you give in?" Lin Shu looked at Lin Qing, insisting on her giving an answer.

Just as Lin's mother was about to speak, she was stopped by Lin Qing, "Are you sure you really want it?"

"I'm sure, aunt, I really like him, so just give him to me!" Lin Shu said excitedly when he heard that this was possible.

"Okay, if you want it, I'll give it to you. Don't regret it later!" Lin Qing said with a smile.

"I definitely won't regret it, thank you, aunt!" Lin Shu sat down with satisfaction.

But Lin Shu was satisfied, but her mother Zhang Mei was not. Jiang Yang's conditions were indeed good, but they could not make up for his shortcomings!

This widower taking care of the children is more suitable for my sister-in-law. She wants her mother-in-law to introduce a daughter-in-law who is no less qualified than Jiang Yang.

Mother Lin looked at her daughter who had already made up her mind, then looked at her granddaughter who had stopped banging the table and making trouble, and finally sighed helplessly.
