Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

"How could Little Little tear Da Ni's clothes? They were indeed very sturdy; Little Little couldn't possibly have torn them."

Upon hearing this voice, Chiang Xiao's tears once again surged out.

"Grandpa..."

The one who loved her the most in this world, who treated her the best, was her grandpa.

Yet she had believed the words of that bastard Uncle Deng Qingjiang, thinking it was grandpa who drove her dad away, forced her mom to leave Siyang Village without a trace, leaving her to become a poor creature abandoned by her parents. Later, under the incitement of Deng Qingjiang and others, she almost completely severed her relationship with her grandpa.

Not long before she died, she found out that when grandpa was critically ill, he had been calling out her nickname all along, yet that day she hung up the hospital's phone call without listening to the end, letting grandpa pass away with regrets.

Thinking of this, Chiang Xiao couldn't help but slap herself.

With this slap, she wanted to awaken herself.

In this life, she must ensure her grandparents were well and lived long lives.

"Uncle Songhai, that's a funny thing for you to say. You don't know how fierce Chiang Xiao, that wretched girl, can be. She's only docile in front of you, right? It's also because she has no father or mother, probably doesn't have many thoughts, and doesn't even know if she'll have food to eat..."

Outside there was a sharp slap.

But the loud-voiced woman's words were just interrupted for a moment before she raised her voice again and started shouting, "Uncle Songhai, what's the big deal about slapping the table? Am I wrong? That wretched girl Chiang Xiao fell into the creek, and Da Ni kindly tried to pull her out, but she ended up tearing Da Ni's clothes! This is biting the hand that feeds her! I don't care; you've got to compensate for the clothes, whether you like it or not!"

Her loud voice completely drowned out grandma's voice, preventing Chiang Xiao from hearing clearly what else they were saying.

But she had already remembered.

The woman with the formidable fighting spirit was named Guiying, a neighbor, and wife to Ding Daqiang from the Ding Family. The Chiang Family's house was less than thirty meters from the Ding Family's.

The Da Ni she mentioned was their eldest daughter, the same age as Chiang Xiao, and they had always been classmates.

Only now did Chiang Xiao remember when this was and what had happened.

Indeed, it could be said that this incident was a fuse for the tragedy of her life. Because of it, she saw the evil side of the villagers, developed an extreme hatred for the village, and that's why she was so eager to leave the mountain village for the big city later on.

That year, she was pushed into the creek by Ding Dani, where the water was deep and icy. After being rescued, she had a persistent fever.

Febrile and confused, she did not know that after Ding Dani went home, she told her parents that she saw Chiang Xiao accidentally fall into the creek and hurried to rescue her, only to get her clothes torn in the process.

In recent years, durable Poplin had become popular throughout the country. Owning a sturdy poplin shirt was a matter of pride, and it was said that many people in town were already wearing them, but in this poor and backward mountain village, only a few people could afford them, countable on one hand.

Ding Dani had a cousin in town who brought her some fabric, from which she made a shirt. That day was the first time she wore the shirt to show off to Chiang Xiao.

About how the clothes got torn, they were indeed torn by Chiang Xiao!

Ding Dani was really good at distorting the truth. At that time, she violently pushed Chiang Xiao, and in the moment of nearly falling into the creek, Chiang Xiao instinctively grabbed her clothes and ripped the shirt with a tearing sound.
