Chapter 115
Weisheng first drew a simple diagram of the jade pendant in proportion in the space, then compared it with a piece of jade scrap of similar quality, and cut off a small piece according to the size of the original owner's piece.
The jade pendant was only two or three centimeters long and as thick as a woman's pinky finger. Using various small machines within the space, it took only a few minutes to create its shape. Weisheng then transferred the character "九" (9) below the pendant into a computer and used a computer engraving machine to replicate it onto the new pendant.
After the inscription was finished, Weisheng untied the red string Gong Jiu had worn for years and strung it onto the new jade pendant. To prevent the pendant from looking too new, Weisheng rubbed the inscription and the hole for the string with some dark powder...
The knocking on the door outside the window became louder and louder, but Weisheng ignored it and continued to play with her jade pendant.
She waited until everything was almost done before leaving the space. It had only been a dozen minutes, but Gong Lingxi had already been knocking on the door for seven or eight minutes.
After coming out of the space, Weisheng first filled the bathtub in the bathroom with hot water, and then wet the entire bathroom with water. After that, he wrapped the jade pendant with a handkerchief and smashed it against the sink.
When he opened it again, the jade pendant he had just made was broken into three or four pieces. Weisheng hung the red rope around his neck and placed the rest next to the sink.
After that, she wet her hair, put on a bathrobe, adjusted the lapels of the bathrobe to reveal the red rope around her neck and a small piece of jade pendant, and went to open the door for Gong Lingxi.
Weisheng moved quickly, but by the time she opened the door, Gong Lingxi had been knocking for almost ten minutes.
Glaring at Gong Lingxi unhappily, Weisheng spoke first, "What are you doing? It's the middle of the night, no one's opening the door, and you're still knocking endlessly. If there's anything you can't say during the day, then what's the matter?"
Gong Lingxi didn't care what Weisheng said. The moment the door opened, his eyes fell on Weisheng's neck.
But when she saw that there was only a little bit of the jade pendant left on Weisheng's neck, her face changed instantly.
The trembling voice pointed at Weisheng and asked, "Jade, jade pendant?"
Weisheng looked at Gong Lingxi with a puzzled expression. After exchanging a glance with her, he belatedly grabbed the red rope around his neck, and his expression suddenly changed.
He looked up again and made eye contact with Gong Lingxi, then raised his hand and slapped her, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't been knocking on the door endlessly, would the jade pendant have broken?"
After beating Gong Lingxi, Weisheng turned and ran towards the room. Gong Lingxi was stunned and covered her face at first, but when she saw Weisheng running towards the room, she subconsciously followed him.
When Gong Lingxi saw the broken pieces of the jade pendant next to the sink, she felt like the sky was falling.
She stood there in disbelief, her mind blank. Weisheng glanced at her from the corner of his eye, first picking up the broken pieces of the jade pendant with a piece of brocade handkerchief with a look of heartache, and then taking off the red string from his neck.
Gently untie the red rope, hang it in the towel ring, and then place the last piece of jade pendant on the brocade handkerchief.
He turned around and looked at Gong Lingxi with resentment, "This is the only thing my mother left me. If you can't fix it, I will never let you go."
Weisheng used his shoulder to push Gong Lingxi away and walked towards the dressing table while keeping an eye on the movements behind him, fearing that Gong Lingxi would hit someone again like in the original owner's memory.
He didn't smash anything, nor did he have the heart to smash anyone. At this moment, Gong Lingxi's mind was filled with the broken jade pendant, the loss of his personal space, the spiritual spring water, and the storage space that could make time stand still.
Without the spiritual spring water, she cannot become beautiful.
Without storage space, how could she hide the Gong family's vast wealth?
Without a storage space where time stands still, where can we put our food and drinks?
His eyes fell on the brocade handkerchief in Weisheng's hand, and he saw Weisheng take out a pearl bracelet from a small jewelry box and put the jade pendant wrapped in the brocade handkerchief into it.
At this moment, Gong Lingxi suddenly had an urge to snatch it away, and Gong Lingxi did so.
Gong Lingxi strode forward and tried to snatch the jewelry box, but Weisheng pretended to be angry and protected the jewelry box from her.
Just as the two were fighting over a jewelry box, Gong Haoxuan and Tao Zhener appeared at the door of the room with somewhat impatient expressions.
"stop!"
Hearing the call to stop, Weisheng and Gong Lingxi paused, then continued to hold onto half of the jewelry box, neither of them giving in. They continued to pull back and forth.
Seeing that no one was listening to him, Gong Haoxuan's face darkened even more. He shouted at the fake sisters in a voice that was almost a roar: "Didn't you hear me? Stop it!"
I heard it!
Weisheng and Gong Lingxi glared at each other, then turned around while grabbing the jewelry box and looked at Gong Haoxuan and Tao Zhener at the door.
Gong Lingxi's eyes welled up when she saw her parents coming. Weisheng looked at Gong Lingxi, who was still excited about being reborn, and spoke first, "Lingxi came knocking on my door in the middle of the night, broke my jade pendant, and now she's trying to snatch the jade pendant my mom left me."
When Gong Haoxuan heard Weisheng mention Chang Zhilan, his face turned even darker, while Tao Zhen'er on the side glared at Gong Lingxi unhappily.
There are so many good things in your home. Is a tiny jade pendant worth fighting with this little bitch?
Gong Lingxi, who heard Weisheng mention the jade pendant, finally came back to her senses from the excitement of rebirth. Then, with a look of despair on her face, she looked down at the jewelry box that Weisheng was still holding.
The next second, Gong Lingxi jumped up and pulled the jewelry box with all her strength while kicking Weisheng.
If Weisheng could be kicked by her, it would be a great betrayal of her original intention of learning martial arts for many years.
However, Weisheng did not dodge. When the foot was about to kick her, she let go and fell backwards, then pretended to fall and fell to the ground.
As for Gong Lingxi, she tried to pull the jewelry box with all her strength, but Weisheng suddenly let go of her hand. In addition, she raised one leg high and kicked towards Weisheng. So at the moment Weisheng let go of her hand, she lost her balance and fell backwards.
Compared to Weisheng's fake fall, Gong Lingxi actually fell.
First, his head hit the wall behind him, and then when he fell, his arm hit the dressing table beside him. All the bottles and jars on the side of Gong Jiu's dressing table fell on Gong Lingxi.
The other hand was holding the stolen jewelry box. When it fell to the ground, this hand subconsciously hit the ground, injuring the back of the hand and wrist.
In short, Gong Lingxi, who kicked others, was much more seriously injured than Weisheng, who was kicked.
However, Gong Lingxi used her years of experience to her advantage, and when Gong Haoxuan and Tao Zhener were stunned, she turned the tables and shouted, "Dad, Mom, my sister hit me!"
Gong Haoxuan: No matter how biased he is, he is not blind.
Tao Zhener: ...Why did this child suddenly become stupid?
Meanwhile, Weisheng, who was standing by, looked furious. He held his stomach with one hand and supported himself on the ground with the other. He looked at Gong Lingxi in confusion and anger, "What on earth are you going to do?"
After a small yell at Gong Lingxi, Weisheng's eyes welled up with tears again. He looked at Gong Haoxuan with great grievance, "Dad, why is this happening?"
Yes, why is this?
Gong Haoxuan knew that his youngest daughter often caused trouble for his eldest daughter, but he thought it was only natural for the elder sister to give in to the younger sister, and as long as it was harmless, he would let them do what they wanted. However, he did not expect his youngest daughter to act like this in front of him. In addition to being a little disappointed, he was also full of doubts.
Seeing her husband's expression, Tao Zhen'er immediately stepped forward to smooth things over. "Did you have a nightmare? Why don't you apologize to your sister?"
After such a heavy fall, Gong Lingxi finally regained his sanity amidst the pain. Upon hearing Tao Zhen'er's hint, he first glanced blankly in the direction of Gong Haoxuan and Tao Zhen'er, then looked directly at Weisheng with a complicated expression.
God was kind to her and allowed her to be reborn after her tragic death.
But God wanted to play a trick on her again, causing her to completely lose her personal space.
Fortunately, although she didn't get the portable space, that little bitch Gong Jiu couldn't get it either.
Because Weisheng was a good actor and the time was too short, Gong Lingxi never expected that Weisheng would use the high-tech equipment in the space to perfectly replicate a fake jade pendant with the intention of driving her crazy.
As for whether the person in front of me was also reborn?
Gong Lingxi judged others by his own standards and didn't think anyone would be willing to give up their portable space.
"Sister, I'm sorry. I was confused when I was sleeping and dreamed that you were haunted by an evil spirit." After saying this, Gong Lingxi suddenly thought of something and looked at Weisheng with a scrutinizing expression, "Why are you taking a bath so late at night?"
If I hadn't taken a bath, I definitely wouldn't have broken the jade pendant in the rush of getting up.
Upon hearing this, Weisheng rolled his eyes at Gong Lingxi, "You and Mom and Dad both have to take a shower in the morning, and Dad takes a shower at night, and you and Mom take a bath. The hot water tank at home is so small, and I always wait until you guys don't need hot water before I take a shower."
Weisheng learned from Gong Jiu's memory that after liberation, only the main building of the Gong family mansion was still occupied, and the family only had a water tank boiler running.
The water storage capacity of a water tank is not enough for a family of four to use. Gong Jiu, the elder sister who is not loved by anyone, has to be filial to her biased father and mean stepmother, and be polite to her cunning half-sister.
Hearing Weisheng's straightforward description of how he was treated at home, Gong Haoxuan's face turned ugly, and Tao Zhen'er was also very embarrassed, while Gong Lingxi on the side sighed as if it was a matter of course.
Maybe, this is God's will!
Whether it was God's will or not is another matter for now. The most important thing is whether there is any possibility of repairing this jade pendant.
As for the little bitch in front of her, this time, she would never let her survive.
Thinking of this, Gong Lingxi couldn't help but think of Tang Mu again.
Thinking of Tang Mu, the pain of being tortured to death came flooding back to his mind, and phantom pains appeared all over his body.
Seeing Gong Lingxi like this, Tao Zhener was frightened. She had rushed over when Gong Lingxi fell, and now she reached out to touch Gong Lingxi in panic and fear.
"Lingxi, don't scare Mom. What's wrong with you? Why are you shaking all over?" After saying that, seeing Gong Lingxi not responding, Tao Zhen'er turned to look at Gong Haoxuan, "Cousin, come and see Lingxi. What's wrong with her?"
Gong Haoxuan saw that his little daughter, who had never been partial to anyone since she was a child, looked indeed not quite right, so he quickly came over while Tao Zhen'er was speaking.
Weisheng didn't move, but continued to sit there, holding his stomach as if nothing was wrong.
Gong Lingxi also slowly came back to her senses from the calls and touches of Tao Zhen'er and Gong Haoxuan. She looked around blankly, and then hugged the jewelry box in her hand tightly as if she was frightened.
As long as the jade pendant is still there, the space must be there. Just fix it, just fix it, just fix it...
Tao Zhen'er and Gong Haoxuan helped Gong Lingxi up from the ground. Seeing this, Weisheng first drank some water to pretend to be sweating, and then said without hesitation, "Dad, can you help me too?"
Gong Haoxuan paused when he heard this, and looked at his older children who were sitting on the ground pitifully, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
As he walked over and helped Weisheng up, he asked him in a nonchalant manner how he was.
Weisheng had just deliberately put all his weight on Gong Haoxuan. When he asked, he said, as if enduring severe pain, "My stomach hurts so much. It feels like all my internal organs have been kicked and dislocated."
Gong Haoxuan: That’s quite heavy.
On the other side, Tao Zhen'er saw her husband caring about his stepdaughter, her eyes darkened, and regardless of Gong Lingxi's current condition, she pinched Gong Lingxi hard.
'Ouch!'
Gong Lingxi first cried out "ouch", and when she received her mother's sharp gaze, she immediately switched from her confused state to a pitiful mode.
"Sister, I didn't mean it. My whole body hurts right now, wuwuwu~ Dad, it hurts so much!"
Upon hearing this, Gong Haoxuan immediately left Weisheng and walked to his youngest daughter. The couple was about to help Gong Lingxi leave.
Weisheng cried out when he saw this, then he held his stomach and endured the pain as he moved closer to Gong Lingxi. "Do you know why I always gave in to you and never argued with you about anything since we were little?"
"Isn't it because my parents favor me more?"
He complained in his heart, but shook his head with an expression of confusion.
Weisheng first swayed, as if he was about to faint from the pain, and then he spoke to Gong Lingxi word by word: "Because the Marriage Law clearly states that marriages between close relatives are more likely to give birth to abnormal children."
boom!
With just these words, the faces of the three members of the family in front of him all turned dark.
Weisheng seemed oblivious and extended a hand towards Gong Lingxi, "Your mother is right beside you, but my mother doesn't want me anymore. I only have this jade pendant. Please give it back to me, okay?"
Gong Lingxi: ...I don’t want to.
Gong Haoxuan: My mood can no longer be described as complicated.
Tao Zhen'er: What's wrong with you, little bitch? Why are you so difficult to deal with today?
Gong Haoxuan was in a very bad mood, especially after hearing about the talk of inbreeding. Seeing Weisheng asking for something and Gong Lingxi refusing to return it, he lost his patience.
He turned his gaze to Gong Lingxi and shouted in a deep voice, "Give the things back to your sister."
Hearing this, Gong Lingxi subconsciously hugged the jewelry tightly and shouted willfully: "I won't!"
Tao Zhen'er was also a little angry when she saw this. The intact little broken jade pendant was worthless, and the broken one was even less valuable. Did she really have to embarrass herself here for a broken thing?
"Why are you still confused, kid? Be good and return the things to your sister. I have plenty of jade pendants. Go to my room tomorrow and pick out what you want."
Upon hearing this, Wei Sheng immediately responded, "Yes, I heard that Aunt Tao also brought a generous dowry when she married into the family."
At this moment, Weisheng didn't even call her mom, but directly said "Auntie Tao".
However, speaking of dowry, we have to say that most of Tao Zhener's dowry was what Chang Zhilan did not take away when she left.
Gong Haoxuan didn't react to this, but Tao Zhen'er felt inexplicably guilty after hearing this, and subconsciously turned back to look at Weisheng.
Wonder if she knows something?
When Chang Zhilan left with her lover, she took all her valuables and favorite things with her. But she came from a wealthy family, and her marriage was a business one, so her dowry was large and varied. Even if she took a few boxes, she would still be left with dozens of boxes and various valuable furniture and antiques.
The Tao family was also quite good, but unfortunately they were the first to go bankrupt during the civil war. If the Tao family hadn't fallen, the Gong family might not have married into the Chang family...
Let’s not talk about those old things for now. Let’s just say that at this moment Gong Haoxuan really couldn’t bring himself to let Weisheng give the thing to Gong Lingxi, and Gong Lingxi was in a posture that she would never let go even if the jade pendant was broken.
Tao Zhen'er was in a dilemma, and she didn't want her husband to "misunderstand" that her daughter was willful and capricious. After coaxing her daughter for a while and finding that it was of no use, she turned to coax Weisheng.
"Your sister is not very talkative. She must know that you care about this jade pendant, so she wants to take it out and find someone to repair it before returning it to you."
Weisheng pursed his lips and said gently, "I really care about that jade pendant. But I also know Lingxi didn't mean it, so I won't blame her. Aunt Tao always said that she treats me as her own daughter. If that's true, then let Lingxi return the jade pendant to me, and I'll take it out to repair it myself."
However, before Tao Zhen'er could say anything, as soon as Weisheng finished speaking, Gong Lingxi pushed away Gong Haoxuan who was blocking her way, and stumbled back to her room holding the jewelry box.
Gong Haoxuan/Tao Zhener: "..."
Weisheng: “…”
Seeing Gong Lingxi running out, Weisheng held his stomach and staggered a few steps towards the door, and finally sat on the ground looking painful and exhausted.
Gong Haoxuan was already filled with impatience at this point. Seeing Weisheng looking like he was dying, he suppressed his anger and helped him up from the ground and carried him to the stool beside the bed a few steps away.
After finishing, he said, "Go to bed early. If the pain still persists tomorrow, go see a doctor." Then he strode away.
When Tao Zhen'er saw Gong Haoxuan leaving, she wanted to follow him, but Weisheng called her again, "Auntie Tao!"
Tao Zhen'er pursed her lips, raised a perfunctory smile, and coaxed Weisheng a few more words, "Don't worry, I will definitely ask Lingxi to return the thing to you later." At worst, I can find a jade master to make her another one in the same condition.
After saying this, fearing that Weisheng would say something else, he rushed out of the room.
Weisheng looked at the door, then at the empty room, and finally his gaze fell on a messy corner of the dressing table.
Today's show ended too hastily!
←_←
On the other side, Gong Lingxi ran back to her room, first locked the door, and then carefully opened the jewelry box she had been holding.
Seeing the jade pendant wrapped in the brocade handkerchief shattered into pieces, Gong Lingxi felt so heartbroken that she felt like bleeding.
He stood up and brought back a small Western-style teacup and a fruit knife. He first put the broken pieces of the jade pendant into the small teacup, and then cut his palm with the fruit knife without hesitation.
She wanted to try to acknowledge the owner by dripping blood first. If that worked, then there would be no need to find someone to repair the jade pendant.
Since the time she drifted by Gong Jiu's side as a ghost, Gong Lingxi had coveted the jade pendant. Upon her rebirth from her previous life, she immediately secured the pendant. From then on, she not only relied on the spiritual spring water within to enhance her beauty, but also used the food and valuables stored within to prosper.
When the college entrance examination was resumed and reform and opening up began, her family quickly seized the market for their gold, silver and jewelry, becoming one of the first to become wealthy...
She stared intently at the broken jade pendant soaked in blood in the small teacup. When the small teacup was full of her blood and the jade pendant didn't absorb it as crazily as it did in her previous life, Gong Lingxi cried out in disappointment.
On the other side, after comforting Gong Haoxuan, Tao Zhener came to find Gong Lingxi. Hearing the loud shout at the door, she was startled at first, and then pushed the door open.
Finding that the door was locked from the inside, he knocked on the door and shouted "Lingxi" into the room.
Gong Lingxi ignored his bleeding palm and went to open the door for Tao Zhener with a gloomy face.
As soon as the door opened, Tao Zhen'er was about to scold Gong Lingxi, but she saw blood dripping from Gong Lingxi's palm out of the corner of her eye. She was instantly frightened and first pulled Gong Lingxi into the house. Then, while asking how his hand was injured, she went to get the medicine box.
"Wrap it up first, and I'll take you to the hospital right away."
It was just a knife wound, how could it compare to the pain of lingchi? Gong Lingxi waved his hand nonchalantly at Tao Zhen'er, his gaze still fixed on the small teacup filled with blood.
"Mom, do you know where I can find a jade craftsman?"
It's already this late, why are you still so picky about that broken jade pendant?
Tao Zhen'er wanted to scold her daughter, but when she saw her daughter's pale face all night and the teacup of blood, she couldn't say anything.
If I had known that my daughter would care so much about that broken pendant, I should have brought the jade pendant with me when she got married.
At that time, Tao Zhen'er allowed Gong Jiu to wear the jade pendant, and she also wanted to remind Gong Haoxuan all the time that Gong Jiu was a little bitch born to Chang Zhilan, a woman who abandoned her husband and daughter.
Sure enough, Gong Haoxuan, who didn't have much love for his daughter to begin with, couldn't help but vent his anger on Gong Jiu.
…
After Tao Zhen'er returned to her room with a heavy heart, Gong Lingxi put the broken jade pendant in a brocade bag as if it were a treasure before going to bed, and then hung it around her neck.
On the other side, Weisheng locked the door and went to the street office at night.
The Gong family has two daughters, so one of them must go to the countryside to work in the fields. Gong Jiu is the eldest daughter and is not favored, so it is natural for her to go to the countryside to work in the fields.
Now that Gong Lingxi has been reborn, no matter whether the jade pendant can be repaired or not, she will not stay in the city.
Another thing is, based on Tang Mu's speed and the memory information provided by Gong Jiu, it is estimated that they will reach Seoul in three days.
Time is running out, Weisheng must take care of everything in Seoul before Tang Mu appears.
Weisheng forged an identity certificate for himself at the street office, and then used this identity certificate to complete the moving-out procedures at the street office.
After completing the formalities, Weisheng went to the Youth League Office at night and inserted his new identity certificate into the list of educated youth going to the countryside this year.
The place where Gong Jiu went to the countryside in his first life was also the place where Gong Lingxi waited for Tang Mu in his second life.
The place Weisheng chose to work in the countryside was a town in the same province, but not in the same city.
Yes, the town, not the village.
It’s not that we don’t want to go further, but this year Seoul is only sending educated youth to Province H.
However, the new identity Weisheng arranged for her was one that knew medical skills, so she wanted to stay and work in the town hospital this time.
As for whether I could stay...it was mentioned on the notice of going to the countryside from the Youth League Office.
If normal means can't keep him, then use extraordinary means.
