Chapter 114 Reborn Scheming Woman from a New Era × Husband in an Arranged MarriageEducated YouthComr
Inside the system space, Yao Xiaoxiao looked at the ball of light jumping in her palm and felt quite good.
He glanced at the obedient V09 and smiled.
Although the truth behind this is still unclear, the current situation is still under control and will ultimately only benefit us.
He took a slow breath to calm himself down.
Her ambitions are not small, and what she fears most is arrogance and negligence.
V09's eyes were full of anticipation, but unfortunately Yao Xiaoxiao was cold-hearted. She could act, shed tears and say sweet words, but she had no interest in wasting any more time with him in this small space.
"Let's go to the next world."
......
This is a novel world where the era has been reborn. The female protagonist is Du Xiang, the male protagonist is Shi An, and the second male lead is Yu Minglang.
Du Xiang's family was a typical rural family in the old days that favored sons over daughters. There were three sisters in the family, and she was the youngest, with a younger brother.
Du Xiang's two older sisters had been exploited enough and married off to make money; one married an old bachelor, and the other married a mentally challenged man. Du Xiang saw all of this and was unwilling to follow in her sisters' footsteps. So, before the wheels of fate turned to her, she seduced Yu Minglang, a sent-down youth.
Yu Minglang was a city dweller, and aside from his fair complexion, Du Xiang was convinced that he would return to the city and take her with him.
It was obvious that her parents would not agree to this. When she reached marriageable age, they arranged a marriage for her with the Shi family in the neighboring village. Compared to her two older sisters' marriages, hers was considered better, at least the man, Shi An, was a normal person.
Ha, it would be a miracle if it were normal.
Shi An is the eldest son in his family. He has a younger brother and a pair of twin brothers who were born to the Shi family late in life.
In short, this is also a family with four children.
It was said to be a marriage for the eldest son, but in reality, it was just to find someone to serve the whole family. The eldest son, Shi An, could be exploited by the entire family.
Shi An went to join the army. While in the army, he was brought back by crying and fussing and learned about the marriage arranged by his family. He was not familiar with Du Xiang.
After he came back, he did meet Du Xiangxiang, and of course he liked her, but her family was such a mess that marrying anyone would be a disaster.
Since Du Xiang's family had already received the betrothal money from Shi's family, having Shi An and Du Xiang meet before marriage was just a formality, and it was not up to them.
But Du Xiang was ambitious, and besides, she had already gotten together with Yu Minglang. In order to avoid jumping into this fire pit, she made a foolish move.
She and Yu Minglang had already consummated their relationship when they were caught cheating, so their marriage was naturally called off, but their reputations were completely ruined.
Du Xiang's parents caused a scene at the educated youth settlement, and all of Yu Minglang's belongings were confiscated. They didn't care about their daughter; they cared about their reputation and money.
Du Xiang married Yu Minglang as she wished, and despite everyone's contempt, she still believed she could turn her life around. She made the right bet.
Later, when the college entrance examination was reinstated, Yu Minglang was admitted to university. Fortunately, she had survived in the cracks of that family and had developed a lot of shrewdness. She chose a decent person. Yu Minglang was not a heartless man. He took her back to the city, and the two of them did live quite well.
Yu Minglang later became a teacher at the school, but unexpected events occurred. He was reported for misconduct, which was ultimately a hidden danger caused by that incident years ago.
At that time, this was a very serious problem. In addition, Yu Minglang's health was not good due to injuries sustained during his early years of rural labor, and he fell ill under the blow.
Du Xiang was originally a pleasure-seeking person. After falling from heaven to hell, she was once again pointed at and gossiped about by those around her. Her condition was not much better. She also had to take care of Yu Minglang. She had no other choice but to become confused and listless.
In her later years, when she had no one to rely on, she watched Shi An on TV, dressed in military uniform and holding a high position, and suddenly realized that she must have made the wrong choice.
Fortunately, fate was kind to her. After her death, she was transported back to the time before she married Shi An. This time, she gave up on Yu Minglang and resolutely chose to marry Shi An, dealing with his large family and being his virtuous wife, managing the household affairs for him.
Ultimately, after Shi An achieved great success, she became the person standing by his side, enjoying immense prestige.
This time, the time span is quite long, and it will take until the male lead achieves success and fame.
After a moment's thought, Yao Xiaoxiao looked at the personality traits of Shi An and Yu Minglang in the plot and determined the general route for this trip.
The story begins when the protagonist is reborn and meets Shi An.
Du Xiang pressed herself against the low door frame, looking at the Shi family members sitting in the outer room, and a feeling of resentment welled up in her heart.
Thinking about her past life, she felt more and more that God was deliberately working against her.
Having been born into such an environment, suffering for over a decade, and facing the prospect of continued suffering for the rest of her life, what's wrong with her planning for herself?
Now that she's given a second chance, can we really expect her to become someone who can be manipulated and endure hardship to achieve happiness?
Both were children who had been sacrificed in their families, so why was Shi An able to have a peaceful end while she had to end up penniless and destitute?
Whether it was resentment or jealousy, Du Xiang looked at Shi An's profile and recalled the glorious sight she had seen him before she died, and secretly made up her mind.
Since she couldn't rely on Yu Minglang, she would rely on herself for the rest of her life. She had a second chance at life, so why couldn't she also become that successful person?
Shi An noticed the intense gaze, turned his head to meet Du Xiang's slightly curious and probing eyes, frowned, and casually looked away.
Du Xiang is still young. Although she is of marriageable age and could be a wife now, she is still a naive young girl compared to Shi An.
With both sets of elders present, Du Xiang was instructed to busy herself with cooking.
Since her two older sisters got married, her workload has increased exponentially.
She couldn't help but cry in front of the stove, and didn't even notice when someone came in.
It wasn't until the things in her hands were taken away and the people around her busied themselves with them skillfully that she snapped out of her daze.
Shi An was a rather tall figure, with an inexplicable cold and hard aura that inspired fear.
Du Xiang did not rush to take over the work from Shi An's hands.
Playing the role of a vulnerable person in need of protection when necessary, and arousing the sympathy of her future husband, is always beneficial to her.
Shi An noticed Du Xiang's stunned expression and turned to look at her. He saw tears on her still somewhat childish face.
"If you don't want to, I can go out and refuse later, and just say I didn't like it."
He knew about Du Xiang's family situation and knew that she wasn't doing well either.
He's a few years younger than him, and it's fine for him to be the bad guy and ruin things since the two families made the decision on their own.
Du Xiang was stunned when she heard his words, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.
"You... don't like me?"
Shi An paused for a moment, then said, "No."
Seeing that he was a dull person, Du Xiang thought for a moment and then took the initiative to boldly hold his hand.
"That's good. I'm very satisfied. You...you just need to treat me well in the future."
Her words were already quite inappropriate, especially since they were spoken to someone she had just met, someone with whom she knew nothing.
