When Cao Xiaolian woke up, she could not believe what she was seeing.
In a small adobe room, a middle-aged woman was sitting on an old bench, picking leeks. She seemed to be telepathic and was extremely happy when she woke up. "Xiao Lian, you're awake!"
She suspected that it was a dream. She then heard someone say that once you moved in the dream, you would wake up. Her whole body stiffened as she greedily looked at her mother, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, not daring to move at all.
Seeing her like this, Mother Cao thought she was still angry, but she didn't dare to go forward and only said, "Mom didn't say that she won't let you marry Prince Wen, it's just that what you said was too sudden, we've only met a few times, and we don't understand each other, so why did you suddenly say that you want to testify? Mom was also being too hasty, so she only said a few words to you. You, with your stubborn temper, just went and crashed into a wall. You didn't know that, but Mom's heart tightened when she saw you faint. "
Saying so, he put down the leek in his hand, pulled up his clothes and wiped his moist eyes.
Seeing her mother crying, Cao Xiaolan couldn't help but say, "Mom, don't cry anymore. I feel bad seeing you cry."
Mother Cao did not expect her daughter to take the initiative and speak to her. She was so happy that she immediately agreed, "Oh, mother, don't cry anymore. Don't cry, don't cry …"
Mother Cao saw that her daughter did not reject her, so she quickly wiped her hands and walked over. She patted Cao Xiaoling's head and let out a long sigh. "Alright, the fever has subsided. I will eat more medicine later and it will slowly recover."
Cao Xiaolian felt a warm sensation on her forehead. She was confused as to why the dream seemed so real.
"Mom." She held her mother's hand, tears streaming down her face. "I will never contradict you again. I will be good and obedient. I won't make you angry."
Mother Cao was so infuriated by Cao Xiaolian these days, and her tears fell like a downpour. Good, Mom's good daughter is back. It's good that she's back, it's good that she's back. In the future, the three of us will live a good life, and Mom still wants to keep you here for another two years so that you can accompany Mom properly. "
Just as they were talking, a young girl wearing a plaid shirt walked in. When she saw Cao Xiaoling, the bag on her shoulder slipped and fell to the ground, "Sister! You're alive! "
Mother Cao was so angry that she turned around and scolded, "What nonsense are you spouting? Your sister has a fever and is spouting nonsense. See if I hit you or not."
Cao Xiaoxia was overjoyed. She ran over and hugged Cao Xiaoling, "Sis, this is great. You finally woke up. You don't know. You scared me to death."
Cao Xiaolian was confused. She could feel Cao Xiaoxia's breath on her neck and the sensation of hugging her. This dream was way too real.
Cao Xiaolan accepted the fact that she was reborn three days later.
She looked at her calendar. This year is June 1, 1990.
She went back to the time she was fifteen years old.
These few days, due to the aftereffects of her hit, her head still hurt from time to time. Mother Cao, who was working on the floor, couldn't stop worrying and told her to stay in bed.
Fifteen years old. This year, her life had undergone a major change.
That is, the Prince Wen who knows the heart of a beast with a human face.
Cao Xiaolian did not know whether it was her luck or misfortune, she and Wang Wenwen had met in January 1990, and it had been three months since then.
Fortunately, she had not married him yet because she was young and there was no real connection between them.
In this life, he must never have anything to do with this scum!
"Sister Xiao Lian, Sister Xiao Lian."
The voice was harsh, and Cao Xiaolian was familiar with it.
This was the voice of the village's widow Wu. In his previous life, she had always been the one to tie the knot between her and Wang Ziwen.
Thus, she could not bring herself to have a good impression of Widow Wu.
Originally, she wanted to pretend that she wasn't at home, but Countess Wu persevered and slammed the door with all her might, her sharp voice never stopping. "Sister Xiao Lian, I just arrived and met Xiao Xia on the way here. She said you were at home." Is it inconvenient for you to open the door? "Then I came in myself!"
Cao Xiaolian could not avoid it anymore, so she could only give a perfunctory reply before standing up and going to open the yard door.
When the courtyard door opened, Widow Wu's bright red lips pulled open. "Little Sister Xiao Lian, what's wrong with you? I've been knocking on the door for so long and it's not even open. Aiyo, my throat's about to burst out with smoke. "Hurry, get me some saliva to drink."
Cao Xiaolian was too lazy to respond. "I'm not feeling well, I'm sleeping. There's no water in the house, so you should go home and drink it. "
After he finished speaking, he was about to close the door.
"Ai ai ai!" Widow Wu pushed the door open and smiled, "Sister Xiao Lian, there's no water, so it's fine. The cucumber you gave me last time was pretty tasty, I finished it all yesterday. How about you break another basket for me?"
Cao Xiaolian was surprised for a moment and then remembered.
In her previous life, in order to curry favor with the matchmaker, she had wanted to give up her entire family to her. Unfortunately, the family was poor and could not afford to live, so she just picked up some of her own vegetables, or eggs that Mother Cao had painstakingly saved. Sometimes, she even secretly took Cao Xiaoxia's flower to give to Widow Wu's daughter.
Now that he thought about it, he was really brain-damaged!
"If you want cucumbers, that's fine too." She stretched out her hand and said, "Fifty cents for a basket. If you take the money, I'll go and get a basket for you."
Widow Wu was stunned. "Little Sister Xiao Lian, are you joking with sister-in-law? Hurry up and fill up a basket for me. Your niece is still waiting at home."
"Sister-in-law, this is already very cheap." Cao Xiaolian looked at her with a smile that was not a smile, "My mom is selling a basket in town for $2. This is a friendship price due to the fact that we are neighbors."
Seeing that she was serious, Widow Wu's smile froze on her face. "Sister Xiao Lian, as a person, I can't let you destroy the bridge after crossing it."
Her eyes were small, her lips were thick, her skin was dark, and she always liked to put on makeup. When she spoke, her bright yellow teeth were revealed, and when paired with her red lips, it made her look like a tomato frying egg.
"The matter between you and Wang Ziwen, it was all caused by sister-in-law, right?" Otherwise, how could Wang Ziwen, the prince's son in the city, set his eyes on a country girl like you? "A person must not forget their roots. People always say that they don't forget to dig a well when they eat water. You haven't gotten married yet and you already want to kick your sister-in-law away."
Cao Xiaoling said expressionlessly, "I don't understand what you are saying."
She didn't want to have anything to do with Wang Ziwen at all, even if the names were linked together.
"Yo!" The wings are really hard! " Widow Wu cried out in exaggeration, her squinty eyes shining as she sized Cao Xiaoling up and down.
"Sister Xiao Lian, as a human, you can't be too ruthless. You must know, since sister-in-law has the ability to make Wang Ziwen treat you well, she also has the ability to let Wang Ziwen kick you around. After all, in our village, there are many good-looking girls, and it's not just you. "
Widow Wu was just spouting nonsense.
Even though Cao Xiaolian was a country girl, she had an unspeakable appearance.
Wang Ziwen's black hair was braided to the waist, and her skin was white and tender, even more beautiful than the girls in the city. She had thick eyebrows, big eyes, red lips and white teeth, and Wang Ziwen even jokingly asked her what toothpaste she was using, otherwise why would her teeth be so bright and white.
Especially that pair of black and white eyes, it looked as if they could speak, which was very attractive.
Otherwise, how could Wang Ziwen fall for this country bumpkin at first sight, even disregarding his parents' objections, and marry Cao Xiaoling?
Cao Xiaolian was not afraid of this.
She giggled. "That's great, then I'll have to trouble you, sister-in-law."
Widow Wu was stunned. "What are you troubling me for?"
"What you just said." Cao Xiaolian blinked mischievously, "Don't you remember?"
She had just said that she would let the two of them get along well and separate them from each other.
She didn't think that Cao Xiaolian was willing to give up on Wang Ziwen. It was because this girl couldn't bear to part with Wang Ziwen that she dared to lay her hand on her.
She was so angry that her entire body trembled. "Fine, Cao Xiaolian, just you wait. Just you wait, Wang Ziwen will throw you off. When the time comes, don't beg me while crying."
"Don't worry, I've shed a tear. This is exactly what I'm doing." Cao Xiaoling stretched out her pinky finger and said, "If you don't have anything to do, I'm going back to work."
Before Widow Wu could say anything, she heard a bang. The wooden door was tightly shut. If she had not dodged so quickly, her nose would have been touched.
"Well, Cao Xiaolian you little bitch, we'll see!" Widow Wu jumped to her feet and scolded, "You have yet to see my abilities. I'm waiting for you to beg me while you cry! When the time comes, don't slap yourself! "
As soon as her voice reached the room, Cao Xiaoling ignored it and continued her work.
His sister, Cao Xiaoxia, was twelve years old and was attending middle school in the town. The two of them had lost their father when they were young, and only Mother Cao was in charge. His family was poor and his clothes were all leftover from picking himself up and wearing, but the material was poor, so after washing a few cups of water, he would easily get holes in them. Sometimes, his pants and sleeves would be too short, and he would just wear them one after another.
The clothes in her hands were the only skirt she had left. The blue and white dress she was wearing this year was too short for Cao Xiaoxia. She was worried about how she could grow and look better.
Just as he was worrying, he heard a sound from outside the door. It seemed to be his mother Cao's return.
She quickly put down the things in her hands and ran out to take a look. It really was Mother Cao.
Cao Xiaolian turned around to the stove. She held up the water to boil it, and walked up to Mother Cao. "Mom, have some water."
Mistress Cao quickly waved her hands, "Drink it. Mom just needs to drink from the well." As he spoke, he went to the well in the corner to draw water.
"Mom, drink this." Cao Xiaolian pushed the bowl into Old Cao's hands and warned, "Don't drink water from the well anymore. Drinking so much cold water while sweating is bad for your health."
In his previous life, his mother's death was partly due to his disappointment and partly due to his long term unhealthy lifestyle, which left many hidden dangers in his mother's body.
"A country bumpkin, why do you need to care so much?"
"No way!" Cao Xiaolian pouted and pretended to be angry. "You have to listen to me when you're at home in the future. I'll dry you every day."
"Good, good, good." Mother Cao saw that her daughter was so obedient. She was not happy. Drinking water was a small matter, so there was no need to make a woman unhappy. "We will listen to you. From now on, our whole family will stop drinking water."
Cao Xiaoling smiled happily as she watched her mother finish the bowl in one gulp. She hurriedly told them what she had been doing at home all day like a child.
Mother Cao was extremely happy and praised her a few more times before finally answering her question.
"Hey, why do I think that?" Old Cao's mother laughed. "Make some clothes that I can't have since I was young and put them on for the sunset. Then, I'll be able to wear them again."
"But, that's not good."
"What do you want to look good for? As long as you can wear it."
Cao Xiaolian bit her lips. In her heart, she wanted her family to live a better life, including the details of their clothes. She also wanted to try her best to be perfect.
Mother Cao did not pay attention to her daughter's thoughts. She still had a lot of things to do.
She walked into the room and picked up a pile of items. Just as she was about to throw them away, Cao Xiaolan saw something and called out to her. "Mom, wait a moment."
