Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 617: Liu Ling became cannon fodder in someone else’s life (2)
Chapter 617: Liu Ling became cannon fodder in someone else’s life (2)
Being a stepmother certainly was no easy task, especially when the original body was slow to react, often bullied by several unruly children.
The man she was with loved to drink and used any excuse of dissatisfaction to vent his anger through domestic abuse.
The original body had been pregnant with two children, one was lost due to the man’s beatings and the other from being pushed down by the unruly children.
By her thirties, the man had drunk himself into a foul ditch and died.
The original body had devoted herself to caring for the four children like a nanny, yet after the man’s death, everyone despised her.
They even kicked her out of the house without anything to her name.
She wanted to return to her own family, but was rejected because they found her shameful, with the old lady having her driven out.
When her younger sister found out, she took her to her in-laws’ home.
But her sister’s life wasn’t easy either, having been married off for a high bride price to a crippled man.
This crippled man didn’t physically assault her in the usual sense, but his methods were more twisted; he would strip her naked, tie her up, prick her fingers and toes with needles, or whip her.
The original body, staying at her sister’s house, accidentally discovered her sister naked and bound to a chair, being whipped with a thin lash.
After suffering so much, the only warmth she had was from her sister. Seeing her sister tortured like this, she snapped.
She ran to the kitchen, grabbed a vegetable knife, and frenziedly hacked at the man, not knowing how many times.
In the end, the man died, and the original body was sentenced to death.
The original body’s sister also felt guilty about her sister’s death sentence and, combined with years of marital torment, died of depression two years later.
Yet the Luo Family were living well because of Luo Zhu.
The man Luo Zhu married had become the richest in the province, living the carefree life of a wealthy wife.
She also helped raise her brothers; the original body’s father benefited the most from her connection.
After starting a business, Luo Zhu’s husband bought a machinery factory in the county and later opened a major plant in the provincial city, assigning the original body’s father as the factory manager.
Luo Zhu’s other three brothers were also taken out of the village, her husband buying each of them a shop to run their businesses.
The harsh old lady, proud of her daughter, was taken to the provincial city where she lived comfortably and happily, surviving long after the original body and her sister died.
The original body’s male cousins also got jobs at Luo Zhu’s husband’s company and lived affluent lives.
However, the original body’s two other female cousins and a younger cousin had lives similar to the sisters.
The honest and diligent eldest cousin was married off by the old lady to a foolishly pious man; after bearing two daughters, she was worn to death by her cruel mother-in-law. frёewebηovel.cѳm
The meek second cousin was married off to a seemingly decent family in the county.
But this man, like the one the original body married, was abusive; the second cousin frequently ended up bruised and battered, enduring years of suffering.
The somewhat shrewd youngest cousin was married off to a small business owner, seemingly a good match.
Yet this small business owner was promiscuous, not only keeping several mistresses but also fathering numerous illegitimate children, and consistently gave her the silent treatment.
Before the original body died, this small business owner divorced the youngest cousin and schemed to ensure she didn’t get much money.
Lacking education and skills, the youngest cousin could only take on temporary jobs, living a difficult life.
Luo Ning discovered from her memories that behind the poor marriages of all five cousins, Luo Zhu had been instigating and meddling.
Luo Zhu, their aunt, displayed dislike toward the girls in the family who were close in age.
Seeing her nieces’ unhappy marriages, Luo Zhu felt very pleased.
"Unaware, one might think the sisters had murdered Luo Zhu’s entire family."
"After her death, the original person realized that the tragedies she and her sisters had caused all originated from their young aunt, Luo Zhu, whom they had always diligently served."
"So, the original person felt bewildered and filled with resentment."
"Therefore, Luo Ning came."
"The original person had three wishes."
"First, she hoped to find out why their young aunt, Luo Zhu, targeted them and to get revenge."
"Second, she hoped to become a successful person and break free from the control of the Luo Family, making her parents and the Luo Family regret."
"Third, she wanted to protect her younger sister from the tragic fate of that lifetime, and if possible, help her older and younger cousins too."
"For Luo Ning, these three wishes were not difficult but required long-term planning."
"However, the first thing to do was the latter part of the second wish; it was imperative to break away from the Luo Family."
"After she took the antipyretic, she felt much better all over."
"Luo Ning took advantage of the moment when there was no one in the room. She made three solar-powered hand warmers and held them in her arms and placed them on her lap and under her feet to fend off the cold."
"The story line had just been relayed from the original person, and she now had all the memories of the original person from that lifetime, so she revisited and organized her memories carefully."
"She caught a crucial point."
"The day after the original person had been pushed into the river by Luo Zhu and had gotten a fever, which was today, Luo Zhu went up the mountain to collect firewood and saved a man there."
"That man later became Luo Zhu’s husband and the future richest man in the province."
"That man came to a neighboring village to visit relatives today, and they took him up the mountain to hunt."
"But while chasing a rabbit, he accidentally got separated from his relatives and lost his way, then he fell into a small ravine and broke his leg."
"Luo Zhu, who was collecting firewood, found him and got someone to carry him to the clinic. Since he was treated in time, he did not suffer any complications."
"Had Luo Zhu not encountered him, the man who had broken his leg would not have been able to climb out and might have frozen to death."
"Thus, Luo Zhu essentially saved his life, and after being gently cared for by her, he pursued her proactively for some time, leading to their engagement."
"Even after he became wealthy, he continued to dote on Luo Zhu and look after the Luo Family because of this incident."
"The wealthy individual, famous for his fidelity and his devotion to his family, was constantly praised."
"Luo Zhu became the envy of many, the ideal vision of what the village girls aspired to become."
"This scenario of saving a life and getting engaged might seem normal, and everyone admired Luo Zhu’s luck."
"But Luo Ning knew this was not normal."
"Luo Zhu was the darling of the grandmother and several brothers and hardly did any housework, especially in the recent cold weather, so how could she possibly go up the mountain to collect firewood?"
"In fact, it had been the original person and her younger sister who had been collecting firewood in the mountains these past two years."
"If the original person hadn’t fallen into the river and gotten a high fever, it would have been her collecting firewood on the mountain today."
"Could it be inferred, then, that the original person should have been the one to save the man, but Luo Zhu had seized the opportunity?"
"From this point, Luo Ning speculated and called out to the system in her mind."
"Soon, the system’s voice responded, ’What’s the matter?’"
"Luo Ning asked outright, ’I just want to know if this Little World has undergone a second change, could the original person’s young aunt, Luo Zhu, actually be a Reincarnator?’"
