Chapter 1
In 1958, the sun was blazing hot in June.
It was 5:30 pm, Yunshui County.
It was time to get off work at the county steel mill. When the factory gate opened, workers and masters in navy blue work clothes were all pushing bicycles home. Soon, the large courtyard of the steel mill became noisy.
Residents of the large courtyard returned home one after another. Some were taking showers, some were cooking, and there was the sound of water splashing when washing rice. The whole alley was filled with the aroma of pork fat and sugar cakes.
The steel mill had paid wages today, and the wives of the large courtyard all had smiles on their faces. When some families were cooking, there was a rare smell of meat on the chopping board.
Men were chatting with their bare chests at the entrance of the alley, while women were lighting the coal stoves, holding a few roasted pumpkin seeds and chatting about gossip in the courtyard with great joy.
"Hey, it's been a few days, why hasn't the daughter-in-law
of the old Gu family next door gone out yet?" "Why go out? She's just a new daughter-in-law, it's only been a few days, it's normal for young girls to be shy." "You're
already married, what's the point of being a young girl? Marrying into this big courtyard, no matter how beautiful a young daughter-in-law is, she will be worn out like us and become an old woman in a few years."
"You know what, the daughter-in-law of the old Gu family is so pretty. Her face and figure are as beautiful as a flower bud in spring." The
one who said this was a rich aunt from the big courtyard. A pointed-faced woman with a big braid next to her spat twice, and her saliva flew all over the sky as she fluttered her feet. "What's the use of being pretty? She's the only one left in the family. She's almost bankrupt, and she was sent to our big courtyard by my uncle's family!"
The pointed-faced woman obviously had something else to say, and the curiosity of the women around her was aroused.
"Shengcai's family, what are you talking about?"
"Oh, don't you know?"
"What do you know? Wasn't the Gu family's marriage arranged long ago?"
"Yes, I heard that it was arranged by the old man in Uncle Mancang's family before liberation."
The pointed-faced woman heard what the big guys said, her thick lips curled up and down, her face was mysterious, "It's true that the Gu family's marriage was arranged by the old man in the family, but the bride was replaced a long time ago."
"Ah, is that true?"
"Don't say anything without basis."
When someone questioned her, Shengcai's wife immediately became anxious, raised her hand, and swore, "I didn't say anything. The girl who was supposed to marry was called Lin Hongna. I don't know what happened to her. She fell into the river while washing clothes. When she woke up, she made a fuss at home and refused to marry. She even tried to hang herself several times because of this. Oh, she scared her parents so much that the head of the Lin family had no choice but to use his own niece as a replacement for the marriage."
"Alas, is there such a cruel uncle in the world? Would the girl be willing?"
“What can we do even if she doesn’t want to? That girl has lost both her parents and only has a brother serving in the army in Xinjiang. As a girl, isn’t she like meat on the chopping board, at the mercy of anyone? This matter has spread throughout Linjiazhuang a long time ago. What’s more, that Lin Hongna is arrogant and looks down on the farmers and our big compound. She is bent on climbing up the social ladder!”
“This girl…tsk tsk,”
Shengcai’s wife spoke very convincingly. She also said that her husband heard about this matter in Linjiazhuang when he went out to work with the construction team some time ago.
Everyone sighed after hearing this, and they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts. The old Gu family has five members. Except for the honest Gu Mancang, the other four are not easy to mess with, especially Zhang Cuilan, the head of the old Gu family. She is a pig-killing woman in a state-owned pig farm. She is so powerful with a pig-killing knife .
She is nicknamed Zhang Sanniang, who is invincible in the whole yard!
Zhang Cuilan is afraid that she will explode when she knows about this.
The old Gu family is afraid that there will be a lot of fun!
Of course, there is also the thoughtful sister-in-law. Thinking of Zhang Cuilan's shrewd personality, she may have known the trick long ago.
Otherwise, the whole yard will be noisy on the wedding day.
Everyone was thinking about their own things. When it was time for dinner in the evening, the children in each family cried and howled about being hungry, and the mothers hurriedly patted their buttocks and went back to their own homes.
*
At the east end of the large compound, there is the Gu family.
The summer heat dissipated in the evening, and the food in the alley was fragrant.
The cicadas on the sycamore tree in the backyard were still making long and short noises, making endless noises.
Under the sycamore tree, there was a row of north and south rooms with front porches and back buildings. One of the rooms had a window open. Lin Yao frowned outside the house. She was woken up by the noisy cicadas outside, which disturbed people and made them feel upset.
Why didn't the air conditioner blow cool air on such a hot day?
Lin Yao yawned and rubbed her sore eyes. Her body was sticky and her face was covered with sweat. She touched it out of habit and accidentally touched the wound on her forehead. She burst into tears in pain.
She rubbed her head and was about to get out of bed to turn on the air conditioner to cool down.
As soon as she got off the bed, Lin Yao was dumbfounded.
What caught her eye was a wooden bed with a coarse mosquito net. On the wooden table against the wall was a thermos with a red peony. Next to it were old-fashioned wardrobes and cupboards. On the newly painted white wall was a big red wedding character. There
was a pillowcase with a big red wedding character on it, festive bed sheets, and a thin quilt with a picture of a duck playing in the water.
At this moment, the quilt was as messy as a dog's nest - she had just crawled out of it.
Lin Yao: ? ? !
What happened? She was confused?
Wait, the calendar on the wall........1958
Just when Lin Yao was confused, the door of the private room was pushed open, and a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties with dark yellow and rough skin and a round face walked in.
Zhang Cuilan had just come back from work. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Lin Yao woke up. She said with surprise, "Child, you are finally awake. Oh, you have been sleeping for several days. It's good to wake up. It's okay to wake up! You must be hungry. Auntie will stew chicken egg custard for you. Wait."
Zhang Cuilan patted her thigh happily and went out like a gust of wind.
Lin Yao, who was confused, was left even more confused.
As soon as Zhang Cuilan left, a little boy about ten years old appeared at the door.
The boy's face was sunburned and rough, and he had a shaved head. His big black eyes were clever. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, the bald boy came over.
"Sister-in-law, are you awake?"
Lin Yao: Who are you calling sister-in-law?
Without waiting for her to react, the black boy smiled with his big white teeth, touched his bald head and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't remember me, I'm Dongzi, I went to Linjiazhuang with my elder brother before, you stuffed me with candy... What, who is my elder brother? My elder brother, Gu Shian, is 28 this year, 29 in virtual age! He has returned to the army, when you came here to marry, you hit your head on the pillar, and it was my elder brother who held you... .., Mom, it hurts, it hurts...”
Before the bald boy finished speaking, Zhang Cuilan, who had rushed over after hearing the news, pinched his ears, “Gu Shidong, what are you doing, you little brat? You come here to quarrel with your sister-in-law as soon as she wakes up, you are asking for a beating, and you jump around at home as soon as you get out of school. You are a dog, get out of here!”
Gu Shidong was screaming because of being pulled by his own mother, and he quickly begged for mercy, “Mom, mom, I was wrong, be gentle...”
“Aren’t I worried about my sister-in-law? Want to help?”
“Bullshit help!”
With the sound of the door closing, the voices of the mother and son outside gradually faded away.
Replacement marriage? Gu Shian?
Lin Yao sat on the bed in the room, staring at the new house in front of her with full of festive decorations in amazement.
She was just going downstairs to celebrate her birthday and accidentally fell, but she actually traveled through time and space in a book?
Yesterday, she was celebrating her birthday with her best friends in the villa, and when she woke up, she was inexplicably traveling through time and space.
Is it outrageous or not? She was traveling through time and space. It was just a coincidence that she was traveling through
time and space
in a bloody period novel that she had read before!
The original book is divided into two parts. The heroine in the first part is Lin Yao, who is born with good luck. She is also the original owner. Because of her good looks and gentle personality, the original owner not only married into a good family, but later her husband went into business and made a lot of money. The original owner became a rich wife, lived in a villa in the middle of Hong Kong, had a nanny at home and a driver when she went out, and lived a life of luxury.
The plot of the second part is bloody. The protagonist becomes the original owner's cousin Lin Hongna, and the original owner becomes a cannon fodder cousin who has lost her good luck.
Lin Hongna was reborn one day. Using her experience and intelligence from her previous life, she successfully snatched the cannon fodder cousin's husband and helped her husband become the richest man and reach the peak of his life.
And she was transformed into the cannon fodder cousin whose husband was taken away by the heroine in the book, who was designed to marry into a big slum, oppressed and oppressed for the rest of her life, and was poor and died.
The above is a brief introduction to the original book.
The specific detailed version starts with Lin Hongna and the original owner's grandfather.
Grandpa Lin was a poor child without a father or a mother. He herded sheep for the landlord at the age of seven or eight, and joined the Red Army at the age of fifteen.
He met Gu Shian's grandfather in the army, and the two young people hit it off and got along like brothers.
On a certain battlefield, Grandpa Lin was blown away by a shell on the battlefield in order to save Gu's grandfather, and his right leg was lame.
In order to repay his old comrade for saving his life, the tearful grandfather of the Gu family immediately arranged a baby wedding with the Lin family. The two families will always be one family.
However, the next generation of the Gu Lin family is all male. The Lin family's grandfather gave birth to two sons, the eldest son Lin Daguo and the second son Lin Weiguo.
The grandfather of the Gu family only had one son, Gu Mancang.
A son born from both families cannot be gay.
In this way, the marriage contract between the two families can only be extended to the next generation.
In the Lin family, Lin Daguo's eldest daughter is Lin Hongna, and Lin Weiguo also has a daughter--Lin Yao.
By the time of Gu Mancang, the Gu family was prosperous, with two sons and one daughter, the eldest son Gu Shian, the second daughter Gu Chunmei, and the youngest son Gu Shidong.
According to the agreement between the two families, Lin Hongna and Gu Shian were engaged since childhood.
In fact, the conditions of the Gu family were much better than those of the Lin family.
The Gu family lived in a large compound in the city, while the Lin family worked as farmers in the countryside.
Gu Mancang was a fifth-level clamp worker with a monthly salary of 65 yuan. Gu Mancang's wife, Zhang Cuilan, who was mentioned at the beginning, slaughtered pigs in a state-owned pig farm and won the advanced model every year. The daughter Gu Chunmei worked as a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative. Gu Shian joined the army at the age of 18 and served as a deputy battalion commander in the army.
A family of five, three iron rice bowls, and one military officer.
These conditions are considered very good in the entire Yunshui County.
When Lin Hongna married, she had a car and a house, and her cheap husband was not at home because he joined the army. Where can she find such a good life?
Lin Hongna just looked down on the chaotic and chaotic courtyard, and wanted to climb up the social ladder and become a rich lady.
There was nothing wrong with wanting to be a rich lady, so she went out of her way to make it clear to the Gu family.
The Gu family might not necessarily do anything.
But the reborn Lin Hongna wanted to be a rich lady and have a good reputation. She turned her eyes and set her sights on her cousin, Lin Yao.
After all, Lin Yao was also a member of the Lin family.
Lin Yao's parents died in a flood a few years ago. The eldest brother of the family of four was far away in the Xinjiang Corps, leaving the original owner to live under the yoke of her uncle Lin Daguo.
For the sake of his daughter, Lin Daguo and his wife Li Aifeng played the good cop and the bad cop respectively, forcing the original owner to marry into the Gu family.
The original owner was cowardly and had no opinion, so she could only agree with tears.
Who knew that on the wedding day, the Gu family discovered the scandal of the substitute marriage. Facing the accusations of everyone, Lin Daguo shamelessly pushed all the faults onto the original owner. The original owner was ashamed and guilty, and she bumped into the pillar of the Gu family.
Unfortunately, Lin Yao accidentally fell and traveled through time.
