Looking back on her life, Zhang Yu could only say, her fate was truly bitter. She had so many prospects, yet they were taken by her family and given to her cousin.
The cousin she thought was actually abandoned by the family long ago when she was young. The current cousin is actually the daughter of the family’s forr employer. When the employer left the Mainland, this young lady happened to be unwell and was left to be cared for by a reliable servant due to her young age.
The original character didn’t know Zhang Hui had already changed identities. Guided by the elders, she treated Zhang Hui as her cousin well, although she sotis wondered why, despite being girls, and both being older sisters, cousin Zhang Hui was so lucky.
The poor original character had no idea that Zhang Hui was not only the master of the elders, but even though they had long since obtained their own indentures, they were used to listening to the master’s words. Moreover, when the master left, they left behind a sizeable fortune consisting of gold, silver, and jewels, and entrusted several subordinates to care for the Zhang Family. The Zhang family mbers could be small leaders in the chanical factory all thanks to the master’s connection.
Not only because of the master’s face but also because of the money, and even for the current job, they could only treat Zhang Hui well.
Originally, taking care of Zhang Hui a bit more was really sothing the original character could do easily. After all, as the eldest daughter in the family, she liked to take care of her brothers, sisters, and siblings. Although her parents were biased, they wouldn’t be too biased, and she could marry and have children at the right age, smoothly finishing her life. Unfortunately, she was caught up in that era.
The tragic life of the original character was thus unveiled. During those years in the countryside, she not only had to do her farm work but also help Zhang Hui with her work, because she was the younger sister, because she was in poor health, and as her older sister, Zhang Yu had to take care of her.
After a hard wait for the reinstatent of college entrance exams, the original character achieved a good score, initially thinking she could attend university. However, Zhang Hui didn’t get into college, and the Zhang Family made arrangents to let the latter go to university.
Worried that the original character would be unhappy upon finding out, they directly arranged for the cousin to co to the countryside under the guise of celebrating, allowing the village’s lazy man to crawl into her bed. The helpless original character thus married the lazy man, who, despite being only forty years old, was worse than her mother.
Married life was a torture every day. She had to work in the fields daily, and because she gave birth to three daughters, neither her mother-in-law nor her husband was satisfied. After being disrespected outside, they would co ho to beat the original character, using the reason that she hadn’t given birth to a son.
Claiming the na of Zhang Yu, Zhang Hui got into university, t a Courtyard Child during her campus life, and as their feelings grew through studying together, they married upon graduating college. Arranged by the husband’s family, she stayed to work in the Capital City, progressed smoothly in her career, enjoyed a happy marriage, loving couple, successful husband, and intelligent children.
By the 1990s, her parents and brothers returned to their hotown to invest, reunited with blood relatives, and the family was whole. To thank the Zhang Family for their years of care, they offered shares and houses, enriching the Zhang Family greatly. As for the original character, they had long forgotten her, or rather, they would never let her appear.
Of course, they needn’t worry because, while they celebrated many years of effort finally paying off, the original character had already died from her husband’s violence. When news reached the Zhang Family, they sighed about her lack of fortune but mostly felt relief, as the dead are safest.
Upon hearing the news, Zhang Hui cried for the original character, telling her husband and children how she was cared for by her cousin at the ti, and finally hoping to avenge her cousin, not letting the lazy man go. As for the daughters born by the original character, no one ntioned them nor took care of them, and after the original character died, returning to the family she never returned to after being sent down, she learned everything from their mouths.
Turns out what she thought was her own bad luck was actually her being taken advantage of by the lazy man at the last mont, not at all. Instead, Zhang Tao drew the man over, even purposely leaving the door open.
Especially worried that no one would notice, he made a fuss in the early morning saying he was going back, wanting to say goodbye to his sisters before he left.
Because of this, when dividing the Ge Family, which was the biological family of cousin Zhang Hui, the largest piece of wealth was given among her peers to the Zhang Family.
The original character watched them divide the Ge Family’s wealth, buying houses and cars, starting businesses, each thriving. Occasionally ntioned her, they looked down on her, saying she was easy, lacking self-respect, completely ignoring it was all Zhang Tao’s doing, no, it was planned by the whole Zhang Family.
Especially since the original character from their mouths heard about how her daughters all either died young or married poorly. Walking the sa path as her, the original character, overwheld by grief and anger, didn’t know from where she learned there was such a business, even taking loans to change her fate.
Taking so many tasks, Zhang Yu really saw soone commissioning a task with a loan for the first ti, "Seems they were really hurt."
Upon thinking again, it didn’t seem a problem. After all, she owed not just the original character’s life, but lives from three generations, since the daughters after marriage had daughters who also didn’t have good lives.
Sigh, "Really pitiful, I’ve taken it on, I can just take the basic fee." Not taking reward is impossible, the system there can’t allow it.
There is also the worry that if many such tasks co up, they’ll all be given to her, then what?
After simply glancing through the task, Zhang Yu put down the materials and lay down to eat and rest.
What stuff is there in the space? Zhang Yu recalled for a long ti, seemingly not much food inside, but there was jewelry, branded bags, and watches. But these things couldn’t be taken out even in the 70s.
Even if there’s allegedly a black market, these things could bring trouble instantly. Better to prepare food, yes, food.
When the ti cos and no one’s paying attention, improve diet. Isn’t that what Zhang Hui did? Every ti the family mailed her large packages, inside were money orders and food, she often stayed in the dorm not going out to work, eating cookies.
During rest days one must go to town, eat a good al to improve a bit, the original character wasn’t unaware, but she habitually felt the cousin was in poor health and needed supplents.
Since the cousin herself was supplenting, she, of course, could secretly cook herself a small al too, treating herself fairly.
Unfortunately, there’s not much food in the space, sigh, do I have to go out and trade for tickets on the black market? But the original character’s poor status, where to get money.
Wait a minute, why’s there no stuff? When the Ge family left their daughter behind, they gave the Zhang family many good things, gold bars and jewelry.
Worried it would be found, they thought to wait until the situation cald to use it, but frequent movents ant only during early 60s starvation did they take so out to exchange for food, the large amounts still retained till now.
If that’s the case, certainly can’t miss this, the original character was ignorant of the family’s resources, more importantly, once the goods are in hand, directly placed into the space, even if the family suspects her, there’s no proof.
Yes, this life’s first bucket of gold is harvested from the Zhang Family, they’re owed much by the original character.
