Chapter 400: Dehua in the 6th Era
The original owner was born in the 1960s, with two older brothers and a younger sister. He was neglected by his father and unloved by his mother since childhood.
As soon as the eldest brother graduated from high school, the original owner's parents spent a lot of money, not only bought him a job in the city, but also married him to a girl who worked in a textile factory. The whole family was very glorious.
But when it came to the original owner, it was the exact opposite. He had to drop out of school because all the family's money was spent on his eldest brother.
After dropping out of school, the original owner did not give up studying. He reviewed his lessons while going to the mountains to collect herbs, thinking that one day he would save enough money so that he could go back to school.
But soon, the original owner's wish was dashed because her sister-in-law became pregnant and asked her to take care of her.
The original owner was unwilling, but her mother Wang Caifeng looked at her pitifully and said, "Just think of it as you feel sorry for me. I want to go too, but I have a lot of things to do at home, so I can't leave. Thank you for your hard work."
The original owner had no choice but to go, and began to work like a slave in his sister-in-law's house. After finally waiting for his sister-in-law to give birth to his nephew and taking care of her during her confinement, when he wanted to leave, he was stopped by the original owner's eldest brother, who said to him:
"You will have to work in the fields if you go back. Instead of that, you might as well stay in the city and take good care of your sister-in-law. There are many opportunities in the city. Maybe your sister-in-law and I can find you a job. If we can't find one, your sister-in-law can introduce you to a girl in the city. She works in a factory and knows a lot of people."
The original owner ate such a delicious pancake after a moment of hesitation.
He became Dehua at home, busying himself inside and outside, taking care of his elder sister-in-law and nephew attentively, making their faces rosy, and he took care of them for six years, until the nephew went to elementary school. The elder brother of the original owner did not fulfill his promise to the original owner.
The original owner couldn't help but ask his eldest brother Xu Rongchang. Xu Rongchang immediately patted his chest and promised solemnly, "Your business is my business, I will not forget about it, I will do it for you well."
The original owner's sister-in-law Meng Ling also advised the original owner not to worry, saying that it is difficult to find a job nowadays...
The couple joined together to persuade the original owner, and the original owner's parents also persuaded the original owner.
In this way, time and time again, the original owner was left at the eldest brother's house.
It was not until the nephew went to junior high school and no longer needed the original owner's Dehua that the original owner's sister-in-law quickly found a partner for the original owner.
The man's family is well off. His father is the deputy director of a food factory and his mother is a manager at a department store. Logically, with such conditions, it would be easy for the man to find a partner.
But the man is a fool and needs someone to take care of even his basic needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The original owner refused as soon as he heard it, but his elder brother and sister-in-law agreed on his behalf.
The original owner fled back home and sought help from his parents, but was rejected.
Wang Caifeng held the original owner's hand and advised her in a tone that was for her own good, "Although Liu Sheng is a fool, he is a city dweller and the son of the deputy factory director. You won't have to worry about food and clothing after you marry him. When you give birth to a son for Liu Sheng, you will be a worker of the Liu family, and they will treat you like an ancestor."
In fact, Liu's father promised the original owner's parents that he would give Xu Ronghua a job as long as the original owner married his stupid son.
For the sake of my son, what does my daughter’s happiness matter?
Seeing that the original owner was still unwilling, Xu Dashu and Wang Caifeng tied up the original owner and locked her in the woodshed. On the day of the wedding, they tied the original owner directly into the bridal chamber. On the wedding night, facing Liu Sheng's coercion, the original owner bit her tongue and committed suicide.
The Xu family received a large sum of compensation, with which they settled down in the city and took advantage of the reform and opening-up policy.
……
"Huanhuan, your family has no money now, so you shouldn't go to school anymore. If someone asks you about it, just say that you don't want to study anymore."
Xu Jinhuan looked disdainful, "Isn't that a lie? I don't want to do that. My teacher taught me to be an honest child."
Wang Caifeng felt a breath stuck in her chest, unable to move it up or down. She felt suffocated. She quickly touched her chest and smoothed over the breath, and then she felt a little better.
She rolled her eyes at Xu Jinhuan in anger, "Kid, don't you know that family disgrace should not be made public? Do you want others to laugh at our family and we won't even have money to support your education?"
Xu Jinhuan rolled his eyes: "You deserve it. You used all the family money to buy a job and marry a wife for your eldest brother."
