Chapter 605 - 539: The Prematurely Deceased First Wife in the Son-in-Law’s Story 2
Originally, tomorrow was supposed to be the day of the Gaokao, but the original body’s patriarchal parents had a screw loose, actually locking her up at home, not only preventing her from taking the exam but also insisting that she agree to go on a blind date.
How old was she? They actually wanted her to marry so young.
It was sheer ignorance.
Originally, based on her academic performance, attending a key university wouldn’t have been an issue at all.
In this year of 1986, college graduates were quite rare. Wasn’t that better than becoming a village wife?
Were they really her biological parents?
Otherwise, why would they do this?
Rong Yan touched her neck and let out a hiss of pain. Without a mirror, she knew there were marks on her neck from the rope.
Under the dual pressures, the girl couldn’t think straight... and in despair, she hanged herself.
When Rong Yan arrived, she was still hanging from that noose.
Had she not reacted quickly, she would have died again before even having the chance to be reborn.
Thinking of that excellent young girl leaving the world so soon, Rong Yan’s gaze turned cold.
In this half-hour, she not only recovered from the after-effects of hanging but also sorted out some of the original body’s memories.
However, this body was really in bad shape.
Not only did her neck hurt, but her stomach was growling too.
Rong Yan immediately remembered that this family, in order to persuade her not to take the Gaokao and to agree to the blind date tomorrow... the girl hadn’t agreed to any of it, so she had been locked up for two days already.
And over these two days, as a form of protest... she had refused to eat anything.
The former occupant had also ended her life in despair because she couldn’t get her parents to change their minds.
Such a foolish girl...
Now, Rong Yan’s stomach was achingly empty.
Moreover, the mother of the original body was still outside, relentlessly persuading her.
The same brainwashing lines over and over... a woman must resign herself to fate, sooner or later she has to marry.
Nineteen, marry my ass.
Clearly, if their daughter simply took the Gaokao, she would have had a bright future ahead.
Why then were they so intent on making her marry and give up the path of the Gaokao?
It was obviously very abnormal.
Usually, for a normal family, if they could produce a college student, wouldn’t they want to boast about it to their ancestors? Why were these parents different?
Marrying now or graduating from college to get a good job, clearly the latter was better!
Thinking of this, Rong Yan couldn’t help but suspect that perhaps they weren’t her real parents at all?
Even with a strong preference for sons, this was too much. After all, isn’t a college graduate with prospects better than a village wife?
Her stomach growled again... a spasm of pain from her midsection.
And now, she was weak all over. If she didn’t eat something soon, she wouldn’t be able to do anything tomorrow.
Taking a deep breath, she got up and walked to the door.
As she began to speak, perhaps because of the strain on her throat, her voice was hoarse and broken.
"I want to eat!"
The person talking incessantly outside clearly heard her, paused, then, with a look of surprise exclaimed, "Yanyan, have you agreed not to take the exam? Are you agreeing to go on the blind date tomorrow?"
How could Rong Yan agree, plus the original body had resisted to the death... This body was hers now, not to mention anything else, she was definitely going to fulfill the strong desire the original body left behind.
"I want to eat eggs."
As she said this, the person outside misunderstood, thinking she had agreed.
So, they cheerfully responded, "Then you wait, mom will go boil some for you."
Although the family wasn’t so poor that they couldn’t afford to eat, eggs and such were generally reserved for boys.
However, if the daughter was willing to show weakness and compromise today, they were willing to use a few eggs.
