Chapter 1 The daughter-in-law's drowned daughter (1)
Shi Jiang opened her eyes, her eyes were full of confusion, and her mind was still in a trance for a while. She always felt that she should not be in this place now, but the memories that followed made her unable to help but hug her because of these rapid flashes.
His head was swollen and painful at the sight of the picture, and his body was arched.
This is a brigade under County A of City L in the northern part of Huaguo in 1975, called the Xiazhuang Brigade. Today, every household has to tighten their belts.
And Shi Jiang is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family in the Xiazhuang Brigade. However, she is a special existence in the Jiang family. The reason is simply because Shi Jiang's father, Jiang Fugui, was originally given to Shi Jiang, the only daughter in the family at that time in the Shangzhuang Brigade.
I am a door-to-door son-in-law.
It's a pity that Shi Jiang's mother Shi Xiuzhi was unlucky. She suffered a massive hemorrhage during the birth of Shi Jiang and died after giving birth to her child.
The two elders of the Shi family were devastated by the death of their only daughter, and they died one after another not long after.
Finally, Jiang Fugui took Shi Jiang back to the Jiang family in Xiazhuang Brigade, and a few days later he married Liu Xiaocao, a widow from the same village.
When Liu Xiaocao got married, she also brought a daughter named Jiang Hongxiu. Her deceased husband and Jiang Fugui were brothers.
Liu Xiaocao also had a good belly. After she got married, she gave birth to a son to Jiang Fugui. Jiang Fugui was so cute that he named him Jiang Xiaobao.
After giving birth to her son, Liu Xiaocao, who had been pretending to be a good stepmother, finally showed her fangs to Shi Jiang, the child born to the previous woman.
And Jiang Fugui didn't want to look at Shi Jiang's daughter. After all, her existence reminded him all the time that he, a grown man, once served as a door-to-door son-in-law.
One can imagine how difficult Shi Jiang's life was in such a family.
No matter how difficult it was, at least she was still alive. Amid the boredom and hatred of her stepmother and biological father, Shi Jiang relied on diligence and humbleness to grow up, and was rubbed and rubbed until she was 15 years old.
Although people appear thin and short due to lack of nutrition, in today's world, every household is not living with a tight stomach.
There was not a single fat man in the whole village, so Shi Jiang's appearance did not attract much attention.
This time, because Shi Jiang went to dig wild vegetables, Liu Xiaocao told her to keep an eye on Jiang Xiaobao, but she didn't expect that as soon as Jiang Xiaobao went out, he ran to the river to play with other children in the village. Shi Jiang saw it and was afraid that something would happen to Jiang Xiaobao, so he
He stepped forward and persuaded him to stay away from the river. After all, if anything happened to Jiang Xiaobao, even if he broke a piece of oily skin as big as a fingernail, she would definitely be the unlucky person.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaobao became annoyed by Shi Jiang's nagging, so he pushed Shi Jiang into the river. Poor Shi Jiang was driven out by her stepmother early in the morning to dig wild vegetables. She didn't eat a grain of rice in her stomach, and she was already hungry and weak.
In addition, it was the twelfth month of winter. After falling into the water, my hands and feet were frozen. I didn’t even have to struggle a few times before sinking directly to the bottom of the water and dying.
Shi Jiang's story originally came to an end here.
After all, in this story, Shi Jiang is just a cannon fodder who can't even be considered a supporting character.
The real protagonist is Liu Xiaocao's daughter Jiang Hongxiu. She remarried with her mother, and her stepfather treated her as if he were his own. Then at the age of 18, she married her husband, who was an army officer in the same village, out of love. After that, she became ruthless in the wave of reforms that followed.
She struck a fortune and became a famous female entrepreneur in City L.
Since her half-sister Shi Jiang died to save him, her younger brother Jiang Xiaobao changed his mischievous nature and studied seriously. In the following days, he was admitted to college and was assigned a job after graduation.
Go to work in an agency.
He also married the leader's daughter, gave birth to two twin sons, and lived a happy life.
Jiang Fugui and Liu Xiaocao were extremely jealous of their two grandsons. They helped their son take care of their grandsons, but how could they remember the existence of Shi Jiang.
Only Jiang Hongxiu, when she was reunited with the Jiang family during the Chinese New Year, would casually say, "It would be great if Sister Shi Jiang was still alive. After all, their lives are so good now, and the whole family is happy together."
After Shi Jiang received all the memories, he felt completely bad.
She frowned, and from the bottom of her heart, she didn't think that this poor little kid who had been bullied since childhood could be her child.
But in her mind right now, apart from these memories, she couldn't think of anything else.
However, Shi Jiang can be sure that he is definitely not the Shi Jiang in his memory.
Even though she now has this memory of Shi Jiang, she will definitely not be the type to let others squeeze her into a flat shape.
Just as he came back to his senses, Shi Jiang heard a cry and howl coming from outside the door.
"Big girl, why did you leave like that? What did you want me to do...ah uh!"
Following the sound of crying, a middle-aged woman with a liuhu orchid haircut rushed into the door from far and near. However, when she saw Jiang sitting on the wooden bed and looking at her, she suddenly stopped crying.
Her voice changed to one of fright, and the rest of the words were swallowed down her throat, causing her to choke all the original words in her throat, and the choking heart felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Oh, Xiaocao, what happened to Shi Yatou?"
Aunt Zhang Gui, who was following closely behind Liu Xiaocao, saw Liu Xiaocao's expression as if he had seen a ghost and was very curious. She immediately rushed forward, asked questions and stretched her head to check what was going on in the room.
"Hey, Shi girl, are you awake? Just wake up. I scared your stepmother to death just now. What do you think you, the child, can't get over, so you jumped into the river and committed suicide?"
Aunt Zhang Gui patted her heart, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said happily.
When Liu Xiaocao rushed in, Shi Jiang sat up from the wooden bed. When he heard Aunt Zhang Gui's words again, he still didn't understand the reason behind them.
I was so angry in my heart that I couldn’t help but laugh angrily!
This Jiang Xiaobao pushed himself into the river. When he saw her sinking, he didn't want to call for help. He just watched the original Shi Jiang drown before running home.
She didn't believe that Jiang Xiaobao didn't explain the whole story to Liu Xiaocao after running home. Just because Liu Xiaocao had just rushed in with a look on his face that Jiang was dead, but saw that she was still alive and frightened, she could guess that
out.
However, she did not expect that Liu Xiaocao would be so shameless in order to excuse her son, and in such a short time, he would pour such a big basin of dirty water on herself.
Why did she commit suicide by jumping into the river because she couldn't think about it?
She is only 15 years old, so she is considered a big girl. In this era, if she does not explain her suicide by jumping into the river clearly, and shameless people take the opportunity to spread some rumors, then she will not be allowed to be punished by others.
Drooling to death?
Shi Jiang sat on the wooden bed with a stunned look on his face, and then he covered his heart and said angrily: "Aunt Zhang Gui, why do you say that to me? I obviously saved Xiaobao before falling into the river, how could you talk such nonsense?
Where is the Eight Paths?"
"What? You fell into the river to save Xiaobao?"
When Aunt Zhang Gui was asked this question by Shi Jiang, all kinds of thoughts suddenly came to her mind. She turned her head and looked at Liu Xiaocao, who was looking away. She saw Liu Xiaocao's eyes flickering and he didn't dare to look at her at all.
