Chapter 49: Life in All Its Forms



Seeing that the notice was in place, the people from the street office moved to the next yard.

Some were happy while others were sad. The yard was filled with noise and no one had the heart to watch the excitement in other families.

"Why should I go? Let my eldest brother go. He's strong and suitable for farm work!"

"Mom, please think of a solution quickly. I don't want to go to the countryside. Go ask my grandfather if he can lend you some money."

"You've made a scene! Your mother and I won't give up our jobs to you! Do you want your brothers and sisters to starve to death? There's no point in making a fuss. I'll put your name on the list tomorrow!"

For a moment, the sounds of pleading, wailing, and cursing filled the entire yard, and all kinds of life were played out in every household.

Even the ignorant children realized that something was wrong. They dared not play around anymore and hurriedly packed up their toys and went home.

After washing up, He Ruixue sat on the bed with her hair loose and took out a calendar.

The heroine's sister-in-law couldn't remember her date of birth, but it was recorded in the original text that she was reborn ten days before the deadline for educated youth to go to the countryside.

So... she circled March 21st and tapped it with the tip of her pen. It was now February, and there was still more than a month left.

Given the Sun family's style, they would definitely not want to let Sun Jinbao go, and it is likely that he will be replaced by one of the older sisters.

The eldest sister Sun Zhaodi has already been engaged and has received the betrothal gift. Sun Yingdi is efficient at work and cooks delicious food, so they are more inclined to let the heroine go.

But the heroine is so smart. Before she was reborn, she knew to take advantage of her good looks and quickly find someone to marry - it was her domestic violence ex-husband. It's just that she had poor vision and her life was very unhappy.

When she was reborn, she naturally changed her ways. While planning for the original owner to marry her ex-husband, she did not forget to fool her second sister.

Life in the countryside was a bit hard, but at least she could eat her fill, wasn't scolded or beaten, didn't have to work all day, and could make her own decisions. More importantly, in the countryside, she no longer had to worry about her parents marrying her off to a widower or a disabled man in exchange for a dowry.

Sun Yingdi was immediately moved. Her eldest sister was betrothed to a cripple just because his family paid more money. During those days, she often saw her eldest sister hiding in the quilt and crying. She felt sad too and always felt that she would be the next one.

So she was persuaded and took the initiative to tell her parents that she wanted to go to the countryside. Sun's father and mother were still hesitant, but after hearing her words, they stopped hesitating and went directly to the street office to change Sun Jinbao's name to Sun Yingdi.

This kind of thing is common, but it does not comply with the regulations. Zhou Hui did not want to agree in principle, but she could not stand Old Lady Sun's unreasonable behavior, and she cried and stayed in the street office and refused to leave.

Considering that there was only one male left in the Sun family, she changed his name and warned them that they could only have one and not two, and that Sun Jinbao would still have to go to the countryside when the policy changed next time.

Old Mrs. Sun agreed readily, but she thought in her heart that Sun Lai Di would take over next time. Anyway, she couldn't let her son go, otherwise their Sun family would become extinct like the Liu family.

After Sun Yingdi went to the countryside, she lived a pretty good life because of her diligence and ability, and was able to save some surplus grain every year.

A few years later, she found a man from the village and married him. Her family wrote to her and scolded her, asking her to send the betrothal gift, but they did not even mention attending her wedding.

Sun Yingdi did not hesitate to use dozens of dollars to buy out her relationship with the Sun family. After marriage, she took care of her husband and children and lived an ordinary life.

Ironically, until the end, when Sun Laiyi had a huge fortune, she never thought of giving any benefits to her sister who was tricked by her into going to the countryside and indirectly replaced her fate.

Occasionally, when she thought of the past, she would just sigh that the other party was cruel and didn't come to find her, but she didn't expect that he had never contacted her after she was reborn.

At first it was out of guilt, but later it was out of disgust that she could sever ties with her family so decisively, making her look more like a pitiful creature who longed for her parents' affection.

The novel clearly states that upon learning that her sister had severed ties with the family, Sun Laiyi subconsciously frowned, but later smiled in relief and said, "That's good. My second sister has always been the most resilient of the three of us. Now she's finally got what she wanted. Life in the countryside isn't easy, and now that her parents don't need her to support them in their old age, her future will be easier."

It didn't sound like he was truly happy for her.

"Aunt, what are you thinking about? I knocked on the door for a long time, but you didn't hear me?"

The sudden words interrupted her thoughts. He Ruixue looked in the direction of the voice and found that He Xiaojie had come to her bedside at some point and was looking down at her.

She put the calendar in the drawer and blamed him, "You knocked too softly."

"Well, it's my fault."

He Xiaojie rolled her eyes in her heart. If the noise was louder and scared her aunt, wouldn't she be the one who would suffer?

She lifted a corner of the quilt and sat beside her. "Thank you, aunt. If it weren't for you, I would definitely be one of the people who got anxious and angry today."

"It's just that little thing. You don't mind talking about it over and over again. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

He Xiaojie smirked, "I just saw Sun Jinbao sneaking out the back door. He's definitely up to no good. How about we catch him in the act?"

"You're so free, don't you have to go to work tomorrow?"

He Ruixue was just about to turn over and go to sleep when she suddenly remembered something.

In the original text, Sun Jinbao picked up a watch and hid it secretly without telling his family. Later, the heroine found it and returned the watch to the owner, thus making his first connection.

It turned out that the owner of the watch was a family member of a workshop director in a textile factory. After the heroine got to know her, she got a temporary job in the factory through her help. After making money, she finally had some initial say in the family.

In fact, the workshop director was not a good person either. Later, it was revealed that he had been secretly reselling the factory's goods for a long time, and the amount was not small. In order to make an example, the superiors shot him directly, and all his family members were sent to farms for reform.

At that time, the heroine had already arrived at the island. After hearing about this incident, she had an idea and came back. Then she "accidentally" discovered the gold bars and antiques hidden by the workshop director and made a fortune.

He Ruixue sat up and lifted the quilt. "Okay, I ate too much last night, let's go and digest it."

Although she didn't understand why her attitude changed so quickly, He Xiaojie was in high spirits and pulled her out through the back door.

When the two of them were halfway there, they saw a half-grown boy walking along the wall with his neck hunched and his back hunched, looking shifty in the moonlight.

"Sun Jinbao, what are you doing?"

He Xiaojie suddenly spoke, and he jumped up like a frightened bird. The watch he had been holding in his hand fell to the ground. The crisp "click" sound was particularly obvious in the silent night.

Walking forward, He Xiaojie picked up the watch and found that it was not broken. Then she questioned him with confidence, "Okay, I was wondering why you were so sneaky. It turns out you were stealing something!"

"I don't."

He stiffened his neck and denied it flatly, "I picked it up."
