Chapter 1: The Wicked Mother-in-
Lin Shu felt a little dizzy.
A few women were gossiping outside the back window:
"Her husband is dead, and no one will save money to support her in the future. Her wicked mother-in-law will definitely despise her."
"I don't think she can keep it to herself. She will have to hook up with a wild man in a few days. You better keep an eye on your man!"
Lin Shu: ...Are you scolding me?
She looked at the dark wooden beams above her head. The fence was made of densely packed sorghum stalks, with long and thin cigarette ashes and spider webs hanging on it.
After integrating the information in her mind, she knew that she had traveled through time.
Nowadays, she is a freelancer. She can't do strenuous exercise due to mental illness. She is used to taking a walk by the river in the morning and evening with an old-fashioned curved-handle umbrella.
This morning, she went to her usual place for a stroll, but she ran into a gangster chasing a girl with a knife. The girl was beaten to the ground and cried for help in despair.
She didn't have time to think about it and rushed over to hit the gangster's arm with her umbrella. She didn't know that she would burst out with such great strength, and knocked the gangster's knife to the ground.
She hit the gangster with her umbrella to prevent him from snatching the knife, and waited for passers-by who were doing morning exercises to come to help. Unexpectedly, she was pushed down by him and her head hit hard on the bluestone guardrail by the river.
The next time she opened her eyes, she turned into the original owner with the same name and surname.
The original owner was born in 1950. She was beautiful when she was young. She became more and more beautiful as she grew older. For some reason, she was born weak and vulnerable. She didn't dare to resist and would only sulk when she encountered things.
The women who like to stir up trouble first tried to stop her with cold eyes, and when she didn't dare to resist, they brazenly scolded her for being a vixen.
When she was young, she went to a girls' school and was very beautiful. She was pursued by many men, and many women scolded her for being a vixen behind her back.
The original owner didn't dare to tell her family, but felt ashamed, and secretly blamed her grandmother for being involved.
The atmosphere at that time was also like this. Most women in the countryside were shabby, and anyone who looked bright and beautiful would be looked down upon and said to be immodest behind her back.
If you refute them, they will say things like "flies don't bite seamless eggs, people can't scold you unless you are coquettish, and women should be plain and not dress up."
The original owner's grandmother held this view. Whenever she saw Lin Shu, she would ridicule Lin Shu for being coquettish and not being a decent person. She would say that Lin Shu was a whore who was only fit to be someone's mistress. She would tell Lin Shu about women who were beaten for being coquettish, and women who were stripped naked and paraded through the streets for being indecent, bringing shame to the whole family.
Then she would teach Lin Shu in a serious tone, "You can't bring shame to the family like your grandmother. You have to be as dutiful as your grandmother and respect your grandmother more..."
The original owner would only nod and nod, and she dared not dress up.
But she was born beautiful, and she became more charming and bright as she grew up.
There were men with bad intentions who would molest her with their eyes whenever they saw her, and some even took off their pants in front of her, which scared her so much that she dared not go out alone.
The wretched man left a shadow in her heart. She was afraid of men who were taller and stronger than herself. She thought that she would marry a gentle, considerate, gentle and elegant man in the future, but she was too shy to tell anyone, for fear that people would laugh at her for being a man without shame.
At the age of fourteen, people began to introduce her to potential partners, including cadres in the city, who were gentle and elegant and had a good salary.
Lin's mother and grandmother were very satisfied and thought it was a good marriage, but Lin's grandmother refused it strongly.
In the winter when the original owner was 17 years old, Lin's grandmother arranged a marriage for her in Lujiazhuang. The target was Lu Shaotang, 19 years old.
Lu Shaotang followed his uncle to the army when he was just over ten years old, was admitted to the Youth Military Academy, and became a young company commander at the age of 17, with a bright future.
According to people who knew Lu Jiazhuang, Lu Shaotang was tall, handsome, and heroic. He was originally going to marry a girl from a military compound, but ended up marrying someone higher up.
The Lin family was very satisfied with this marriage, and many people in the village were jealous, except for the original owner.
Especially a few women who like to gossip ran to her and said nonsense, pretending to be for her good while being sour, saying:
"Oh, San Man'er, your grandma really doesn't care about your life or death in order to get the Lu family's dowry money for your brother. That Lu Shaotang is a well-known troublemaker. If he hadn't been unable to make it in the village, would his uncle have let him join the army?"
"The men in the army are all rough and unreasonable, and many of them beat their wives. Didn't someone in our village marry a retired soldier? Look at how he gets beaten every day? Tsk tsk, pitiful."
The original owner was frightened and became more and more afraid of Lu Shaotang, whom she had never met.
Especially on the day of the wedding, Lu Shaotang had just hurried back from the army. As rumored, he was tall and strong, with deep facial features and very handsome.
Because he grew up in the army and had seen blood at a young age, he had an exceptionally cold temperament, and was tough and brave. Ordinary people felt that he was imposing and dared not approach him.
Uncle Lin and the others who came to send the bride were frightened by him, not to mention the original owner, who was almost scared to death.
Obviously, everyone was not full, so how could he grow to be nearly 1.9 meters tall and have hard tendon meat?
Fortunately, he passed away on the third day.
Later, she gave birth to a pair of twins, the elder sister was named Tiantian and the younger brother was named Panpan. After
the marriage, Lu Shaotang left for several years and his children had never seen each other until they were so old. Others either sympathized with her or took pleasure in her being a widow, but she was secretly happy.
The mother-in-law was the head of the family. Although she didn't like her personality, she didn't need her to work in the fields. She just had to take care of the children, cook, feed the chickens and pigs at home.
Her life was much easier than other women. But she was weak and sensitive. She couldn't learn to say no, which brought her a lot of trouble.
At first, she had some money, which was sent back by Lu Shaotang and given to her by her elder and second sisters in the city. But she couldn't spend it herself, so it was all "borrowed" by others.
She had no choice but to borrow it even if she didn't want to. She was too shy to refuse. She couldn't get down from the work, so she had to borrow it. Later, her mother-in-law simply refused to give her money. In addition,
she was good at sewing, so her grandmother's family, her husband's family, and even other people in the village would ask her to help with sewing.
She was obviously not happy, but was too embarrassed to refuse. Even if she refused, her voice was so sweet that people would not take it seriously. She could
not help but agree after a few nice words. Afterwards, she hid away and sulked. Her mother-in-law said that she was just asking for trouble by being a needleworker for others, and she should have just refused. She also felt that her mother-in-law had opinions about her and did not support her, so she had to sulk a few more times.
The original owner lived a good life, feeling depressed and exhausted. She could not count a day without sulking.
Until the news of Lu Shaotang's death came back a few days ago, she was sad but did not do anything, after all, she had no feelings for Lu Shaotang.
As a result, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chang family behind the house deliberately took the lead in mocking her, "Your husband is gone, how come you are fine and not sad at all? You must have someone else in your heart, right?"
She was angry and annoyed after hearing this, but she didn't dare to scold them back, so she could only go home and lie down and sulk.
Those gossiping women have always been jealous of her husband's high income and no need to work at his in-laws' house. Seeing that her mother-in-law and others were not around, they hid behind her window and continued to scold her.
She bit the corner of the quilt and cried silently. She was angry with the gossiping women behind her, but she was involuntarily led by their words.
Her husband is gone, and there will be no salary to send back in the future. What will she and her children do?
Her two children are only five years old. If they rely on the family to support them, won't the sisters-in-law have any opinions?
Normally she doesn't work and cooks at home, while her sisters-in-law are still competing with each other, being weird and weird while she stays at home and eats secretly.
Then she will really have to live by other people's faces and endure endless cold stares.
She is sensitive and suspicious. She will think about other people's eyes and words for a long time, and she may be angry for a long time for other people's casual words.
How can she bear to eat by others' faces?
The day before yesterday, the leaders of the commune came to express their condolences and brought 800 yuan in pension.
The original owner thought that this money was the money earned by men who worked hard, just enough for her to raise children, but she was embarrassed to ask for it, hoping that her mother-in-law would take the initiative to give it to her, but her mother-in-law took the money away.
She thought about it and suspected that her mother-in-law wanted to give the money to the first and second wives, which made her feel more and more uncomfortable.
Several gossipers behind the house bullied her and said she was afraid to speak out because she was afraid of being embarrassed. They became more and more vicious and started to spread rumors, saying that she was a slut who couldn't live without men at night.
They also said that she often hooked up with men, and it was possible that the two children were not Lu Shaotang's. They were afraid that her mother-in-law would find out and would not tolerate her and would send her back to her parents' home.
The original owner was shocked and angry, afraid and aggrieved, and as a result, the evil spirit attacked her heart, and she died with a sudden pain in her heart.
After the original owner died in the book, the gossiper behind the house named Song Chunfang did not let her go. She was afraid of the Lu family and dared not say anything. She said behind her back that she wanted to remarry but her in-laws would not allow her. She even spread rumors that she was caught having an affair with a man and was too embarrassed to face people and committed suicide.
Song Chunfang!
Although Lin Shu was not so strong in her previous life, she was never a coward. She would definitely
slap Song Chunfang in the face when she got back!
In fact, the original owner's mother-in-law was a protective person. If she talked to her, she would definitely protect the original owner.
Unfortunately, the mother-in-law always had a stern face and looked very cold. The original owner always felt that she looked down on her.
Lin Shu thought about it, and besides Song Chunfang, she also remembered all the other bastards who bullied the original owner, and would go back and beat them back one by one!
The gossiping women behind the house suddenly shouted, "The evil mother-in-law is back," and quickly dispersed.
Soon, a tall and strong woman in her fifties came into the hall with heavy steps and a hoarse voice. "Old Third, are you going to lie down and die? You don't cook, you don't boil water, you don't take care of your children, you can't live like this, right? If you really can't bear to part with Old Third, you can ask yourself, are you reluctant to part with Old Third or are you angry with someone?"
Fang Dihua was tall and strong, with a loud voice, and she was always rude to people. The original owner always felt that she had opinions about herself, and she was often secretly sulking.
Lin Shu hesitated for a moment, and decisively continued to lie down.
She had just come here, so her behavior could not be too extreme, and she had to change slowly.
Fang Dihua stood in the hall and looked around. Not only was the pot cold, but there was not even a drop of boiled water in the soup pot.
She came back from the field under the scorching sun, and her throat felt like it was smoking. She lifted the wooden lid of the water tank, took a ladle and scooped half a ladle of well water and gulped it down.
Half a ladle of cold water went into her stomach, and finally suppressed the sparks coming out of her throat.
She threw down the ladle and wiped her mouth, and said, "You've been lying here for five or six days. Tell me, what do you want to do? Go back to your parents' home? That's fine, you can pack up and go back by yourself. Our Lu family won't hinder you from finding a better partner."
