Rebirth of a Village Girl

But Ni Cuihua is inherently kindhearted. She believes that the world is as good-hearted as her since she is.

At the same time, she also believes that the old Mu Lady and Mu Jinbao arent like that.

And besides, she had brought disgrace to the Mu Family by not giving birth to a son. How could she dare to question the old Mu Lady and Mu Jinbao now?

Ni Cuihua immediately covered Ni Yangs mouth, Yangyang, you cant talk nonsense like this! They are your grandparents and your father! You, as a daughter, how can you talk about them this way? Its just a chicken, right? Aunt Ashu is pregnant, so your grandmother buying a chicken for her is only appropriate! You cant say such things in the future. If your father and grandmother heard this, they would beat you up! Do you understand?

Ni Yang sighed again.

Stupid!

Ni Cuihua is truly foolish!

No wonder she was bullied to death in her previous life.

Ni Yang sighed, Li Shu is just pregnant, but my grandmother has made chicken soup for her and asked you to take care of her. Mom, youve just given birth to my little sister. Youre weaker than Li Shu right now, but has grandma made chicken soup for you? Havent you ever wondered why?

Why cant you wake up?

Ni Yang closed her eyes, finding it hard to breathe.

Ni Cuihua also sighed, Its all my fault, I didnt give birth to a brother for you. If I could have had a son, perhaps things would not be this way

She took all the blame onto herself.

Ni Yang continued, Its not your fault that you didnt give birth to a son! Its not your mistake! The sex of a child depends on the father, it has nothing to do with you! Besides, these days everyone is equal, so whats the difference between a boy and a girl?

But theres a big difference! Boys can carry on the family name, what can girls do? Havent you heard the saying a daughter married is like a bucket of water thrown away? The idea that men are superior to women has deeply ingrained in Ni Cuihuas mind, and its hard to eradicate.

Ni Yangs eyes were cold, Mom, youre a woman too. You cant belittle women. If you look down on yourself, who will respect you?

Ni Cuihua retorted, Regardless, girls are inferior to boys. Look at our village, doesnt every family have a man as the head of the household? Yangyang, you are still young and its normal that you dont understand these things. Youll understand when you get married and have your own family.

Ni Yang closed her eyes: The one who is stubborn now is you!

What paper? Ni Cuihua was bewildered.

Shes illiterate and lacks formal education, how would she know what being stubborn meant?

Ni Yang sighed: Forget it

Anyway, Ni Cuihua will see the reality soon.

Theres no point in talking more at this point.

Seeing that Ni Yang didnt continue, Ni Cuihua said, Yangyang, Im sorry. Your room is being occupied by your Aunt Ashu, as per your grandmothers orders. You might have to stay in the firewood room for now Im sorry, I failed to protect you, your mother isnot competent

Ni Yang wiped the tears off Ni Cuihuas face, her voice flat, Its okay, Mom, Im not scared, dont cry.

Its just the firewood room, whats there to be afraid of?

After all, she wont be staying there long.

Ni Cuihua looked up at Ni Yang, Yangyang, you shouldnt resent your grandmother either. Its just that our home doesnt have enough rooms. Its my fault too. If I could have given you a brother, you wouldnt have had to suffer these indignities and you wouldnt have had to drop out of school

Ni Yang, only seventeen, had already dropped out of school.

It wasnt that the family couldnt afford Ni Yangs schooling.

It was the old Lady Mu who didnt allow her to continue.

In the old Lady Mus eyes, Ni Yang was a losing bet.

Why would she waste money on a losing bet?

Ni Cuihua thought, if she could have a son, the old Lady Mu would definitely not be like this

Alas

Its her incompetence.

Causing her daughter to suffer alongside her.

Ni Yang said: Its not your fault, Mom. Really, its not your fault!

Ni Cuihua wiped her tears and took the pot of chicken soup that was already cooked, Ill go and deliver this chicken soup to your Aunt Ashu. You clean your mouth properly, dont let your grandmother find out youve been sipping the soup.

If the old Lady Mu knew that Ni Yang was sneaking sips of chicken soup, she would certainly beat Ni Yang to death!

I remember before, Madame Mu once beat Ni Yang half to death.

Ni Cuihua brought the chicken soup to Li Shus room, seeing the chicken soup, Li Shu laughed: Sister Cuihua, I wont stand on ceremony with you then.

Ni Cuihua laughed: We are all family, no need to be polite.

Even though there was a whole chicken and a big bowl of chicken soup, Li Shu finished it all by herself with ease.

Because people in this era generally didnt have much to eat, they all had a healthy appetite.

After she finished the chicken soup, Li Shu went for a walk in the village, and before she knew it, she arrived at the village office.

Why did she go to the village office?

Because the village office had a phone!

But at that time, calling charge was quite expensive, five cents per minute!

Li Shu paid for five minutes.

Picking up the handset, she lowered her voice: Xianxian, Ive made it to Mu Jinbaos house now.

The person on the other end of the call was nobody else but Li Shus daughter, Li Xianxian.

Li Xianxian was pleased: Thats good, mom. You have to give birth to my little brother in the Mu Family. By the way, is Mu Jinbaos daughter named Ni Yang?

Ni Yang? Li Shu frowned slightly, No, her name is Mu Yang!

On the other end of the phone, Li Xianxian also frowned, Then she must have changed her name!

Li Shu curiously asked: Xianxian, why do you ask?

Li Xianxian continued: Mom, let me tell you, this Mu Yang is my nemesis, she will block my financial and developmental path. You must help me get rid of her! As long as shes gone, there will be opportunities for me to prosper!

Li Shu was stunned, What? Xianxian, whats going on?!

Li Xianxian said, You dont have to ask so much! Just do as I said! Mom, you must help me with this. Your daughters future depends entirely on you!

Li Shu hung up with a troubled expression on her face.

How was she supposed to get rid of Ni Yang?

Murdering is illegal!

What should she do?

Li Shu sighed, walking and thinking.

Just then!

A thought struck her.

She remembered that an old bachelor cousin from her mothers side had also moved to this neighborhood, the old bachelor was in his fifties, wealthy but unable to marry a wife due to health issues.

She could introduce Ni Yang to the old bachelor!

After all, the old bachelor has always been dreaming of having a wife.

By then, the old bachelor would be thrilled, and perhaps she could even benefit from it

Perfect!

The more Li Shu thought about it, the more pleased she became, the more pleased she became, her lips curved into a triumphant smile, and she moved briskly in the direction of the old bachelors house.

Coming out of the old bachelors house, Li Shu maintained her triumphant smile.

At dinner, Li Shu attempted to strike up a conversation with Ni Yang, Oh my! Yangyang is such a beautiful girl!

Ni Yang was indeed beautiful.

Just turning from her pair of exquisite peach blossom eyes, one could not help but fall for her.

Which family in this area did their daughter look like this?

She was so beautiful that it made people jealous.

Ni Yang was nibbling a steamed bun, pretended not to hear Li Shus words.

Thud!

At that moment, a sound of a table being hit echoed in the air, Useless thing! Are you mute? Your Aunt Ashu is talking to you. Dont you know to answer?
