The winter there was bone-chilling, and the cold lasted a long time. If it weren't for the Captain's kindness and the villagers' simple nature, everyone would have chipped in to give her winter supplies because they felt so pitiful for her. Wang Qin wouldn't have survived her first year in the countryside.
She survived the winter but not the spring of the second year. Wang Qin, instigated by people from the Educated Youth Point, tried to frame a Military Officer who was visiting relatives, hoping to marry him and live a good life. However, she 'unluckily' fell into the hands of a scoundrel from the neighboring village. After being taken advantage of, she felt compelled to marry the scoundrel due to her reputation.
Things got even worse later. That scoundrel had violent tendencies, and Wang Qin was either being beaten or on her way to being beaten every day. After giving birth to four daughters, she was almost used as gambling money by the scoundrel, and in despair, she jumped into the river and committed suicide.
In her previous life, her entire existence was a tragedy; her black and white photograph showed no hint of color at all.
Wang Qin was reborn last night after being pushed by Wang Yue while cooking and hitting her head against the wall. After her rebirth, she was like a completely new person. She dealt with everyone who had wronged her in her past life with extreme prejudice.
According to the book, Wang Qin had already stolen the household registration booklet yesterday evening. As soon as the Educated Youth Office opened this morning, she registered her younger siblings to go to the countryside, heading to the most remote village in the Northwest. Upon returning home, Li Hehua, angry that she hadn't made breakfast yet, tried to hit her. Wang Qin snatched the stick and beat Li Hehua instead.
Ren Yan sighed, "In the Wang family, only Wang Qin seemed normal before, but she couldn't survive in that environment. So, she went crazy."
What else can you expect from someone who has a 'Watch the Fun' system?
Coincidentally, the original host also loved gossip but usually didn't join in. Ren Yan was already used to it and continued speaking without waiting for Lin Yuexi to respond, "Wang Hanzhong bought Wang Yue a job at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and bought Wang Guangzong a position as a cadre at the Textile Factory, but he completely forgot about Wang Qin."
"Yesterday, the Educated Youth Office notified Wang Qin about going to the countryside. The Educated Youth Subsidy from the office hadn't been given out yet, and Li Hehua had already snatched the money, directly from the hands of the Educated Youth Office staff."
"After the Educated Youth Office staff left, Wang Qin asked Li Hehua for the money. Not only did Li Hehua refuse, but she also beat Wang Qin with a stick. At that time, Wang Hanzhong, Wang Yue, and Wang Guangzong were all watching nearby, and not a single one of them stepped forward to intervene."
Lin Yuexi washed her face and poured out the dirty water, calmly commenting, "That Wang Hanzhong is truly a piece of trash."
Ren Yan was stunned. This was the first time Xiao Xi Xi had given her feedback while gossiping, which was quite novel and further fueled her enthusiasm for watching the fun together.
"Of course, he's trash. Wang Yue and Wang Guangzong are only half-related, as they don't share the same mother. But Wang Hanzhong is their biological father. They thought they were hiding it well, but everyone in the compound knows about their family's filthy secrets!"
Lin Yuexi slowly walked outside, a noble smile gracing her face like that of the goddess Athena, "The screams I heard this morning didn't sound like Wang Qin's? Why did it sound a bit like Li Hehua's voice?"
I was sleeping like a little pig then, of course, I didn't hear anything. Isn't it more enjoyable to 'watch the fun' together?
As expected, comrade Ren Yan caught the hint. Supporting her, she excitedly said as they walked towards the kitchen, "Your ears are really sharp! It was indeed Li Hehua's voice. Wang Qin's brain has finally opened up. Li Hehua tried to hit her again, but Wang Qin snatched the stick and beat her. Wang Yue and Wang Guangzong were both there and tried to help, but Wang Qin beat them too."
Lin Yuexi already knew all this. Listening to Ren Yan's tone, which seemed to enjoy the drama immensely, she really wanted to tell her that in a couple of days, there would be even more exciting events that would shock the entire compound.
Eating the millet porridge in small sips, she glanced outside. The weather was beautiful, with a clear sky and bright sunshine.
She extended her small, tentative feet, "Yan Yan, I want to go for a walk later."
With the mountains looming overhead gone, they wouldn't be able to stay in Beijing City for many more days. If some things weren't set in motion soon, there would be no opportunity.
The original host was naive, but Lin Yuexi was not foolish. She had a general idea of which families were behind the Leng Family's troubles.
Ren Yan washed the vegetables without looking up, "What's the problem with that? You have a wheelchair now. I'll push you outside for a bit later to try it out. If it's okay, we can also go to the department store. I heard from Aunt Zhang that Xi Xi, you've never been to a department store since you were born. It's so lively and beautiful there."
Ms. Zhang Hongying initially bought the wheelchair for her youngest daughter to make going to the countryside easier. Only after deciding to buy the wheelchair did she realize that with it, things would be even more convenient in the city. Places her daughter couldn't go before could now be accessed with the wheelchair.
Regret, she regretted it so much her intestines turned green. She should have bought it much earlier.
What was even more infuriating was that before the wheelchair even arrived, she and her husband had to leave immediately.
With hundreds of pounds of unwillingness, she could only repeatedly instruct Ren Yan.
Lin Yuexi didn't expect this pleasant surprise. Her current body was truly in poor condition, not an exaggeration to call it crippled. She would gasp after walking a few steps, and her emotions would overwhelm her, causing her to collapse. She was truly useless at everything.
Looking up and seeing Xiao Xi Xi's pretty, curved eyebrows, Ren Yan's heart felt a slight pang, followed by worry. She quickly dropped the vegetables, wiped her hands, and rushed over.
"Xi Xi, don't get excited. Come, breathe. Gently, slowly. In, out. In, out..."
After a flurry of activity, Ren Yan finally pushed Lin Yuexi out the door.
Aunt Li from next door came out with her granddaughter. Her eyes lit up when she saw Lin Yuexi, but upon seeing who was pushing the wheelchair, she retracted her steps and greeted them with a somewhat forced smile.
"Is Xi Xi feeling any better?"
Lin Yuexi smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your concern, Aunt Li. I'm much better."
"That's good, that's good. Little Ren, push the wheelchair slowly. Xi Xi, I'm going to buy groceries."
With that, she took her granddaughter's hand and walked away so quickly it was as if a wolf was chasing her.
We old folks really dote on this girl Xi Xi. Not only is she as beautiful as a celestial being, pleasing to the eye, but she also has a good temperament. Even towards this old woman from the countryside, she shows no disdain.
It's a pity her health is poor, so she can't chat with us often.
But that girl Ren Yan, although she's not entirely at fault herself, still...
We're scared too!
Lin Yuexi patted Ren Yan's hand reassuringly.
Ren Yan shrugged indifferently, "It's alright here. People just avoid me if they don't like me. Back in the village, adults would spit on me, and children would throw stones at me. When my Dad came to pick me up, I was almost dead in the hospital."
Her tone was very calm, as if she were talking about someone else's experience.
Lin Yuexi didn't understand psychology and didn't know if Ren Yan truly no longer cared about those experiences or if she was just pretending.
Thinking about it, the two of them were quite amusing, each with their own misfortunes.
