Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 1 Rebirth
"Would I lie? I've been a matchmaker for many years and I've seen all kinds of families. The Wu family is a well-known good family in the surrounding area. If we sisters weren't so close, I wouldn't have introduced such a good match to my niece."

"Let me tell you, Old Wu is a master at slaughtering pigs at the meat processing plant. He's highly regarded by the plant. You know how hard it is to get meat these days. Once you go to the Wu family, your niece can just wait to eat meat."

"I also heard that Old Wu intends to have his youngest son by his side to teach him, hoping that he will take over the business."

If this marriage goes through, my niece will be half a city dweller; once she's officially married, she'll be a city dweller.

Dear sister, don't say I didn't think of you. I came to find you as soon as the news broke.

My head is spinning, and there's a constant buzzing in my ears.

Bai Jing opened her eyes again, feeling somewhat dazed, as this scene was from a long time ago.

The room was dimly lit, with yellow and black stains everywhere, clearly indicating that it had been treated with tung oil. It was a wooden house, and she hadn't lived there for many years.

Memories surged through my mind, and every little detail of the past came flooding back.

Before she could process her thoughts, the conversation outside dealt her another blow.

"Just tell me, do you agree to this marriage? If you don't think it's a good match, then I'll find another one for the Wu family boy."

Bai Jing's mind went blank for a moment. Could the Wu family be the same Wu family she married into?
No, no, she can't marry into the Wu family; it's a living hell.

Despite his seemingly respectable appearance, with a father who works as a butcher at a meat processing plant, he has a lot to support: a wife who's always crying, a petty eldest son, an eldest daughter with conjunctivitis, a lazy youngest son, and a youngest daughter with questionable morals.

You shouldn't marry into a family like that.

Yes, she was reborn.

Now that she has been given another chance to choose, she is unwilling to fall into the Wu family's hellhole again.

"Do not."

A piercing scream came from the dimly lit room.

The two people talking under the eaves outside were startled and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Jing'er, Jing'er, what's wrong?" Upon hearing her daughter's cry, Bai's mother, Luo Chunhua, jumped up and rushed into the house.

My daughter got caught in the rain yesterday and developed a fever last night. I gave her some Analgin this morning and the fever finally subsided. I hope she doesn't get brain damage from the fever.

The family was already poor, and if something happened to her eldest daughter, she wouldn't want to live anymore.

Rushing into the room, I saw my daughter sitting half-upright on the bed, covered in cold sweat, her hair hanging down her forehead and soaked through.

"Jing'er, what's wrong with Jing'er?" Bai's mother took off her shoes and entered the room. She rushed to her daughter's bedside and touched her forehead with concern.

Upon seeing her young mother, Bai Jing couldn't help but shed tears.

Her mother had a hard life. After marrying into the Bai family, she never enjoyed a good day and had to support the whole family alone during years of disaster.

She ruined her health early on, lost her son in middle age, and left behind a grandson who contracted a rare form of anemia. She sold her house and land to save her grandson, but she also lost half her life.

Later, he even incurred the resentment of his three sons-in-law because he wanted his grandson to have a roof over his head to shelter him from the rain.

"Mother!" Bai Jing could no longer hold back. "Mother, Mother, Mother!"

She cried out and hugged her poor, loving mother tightly.

Feng Ni, who followed Bai Jing in, said to her, "Could this child be having a nightmare?" Looking at the mother and daughter on the bed, Feng Ni pursed her lips and said.

Feng Ni is the matchmaker who was trying to set up Bai Jing outside earlier; she is also from Baijia Village.

She also married into a Bai family, but not from the same clan as Bai Jing's. Luo Chunhua glanced back at Feng Ni, who had followed her in, and was quite displeased to see that she hadn't even taken off her shoes: "She just had a nightmare, Auntie. I can't make the decision. How about we wait until Jing'er is feeling better?" She didn't really like people coming into her room.

Furthermore, she didn't believe Feng Ni had such good intentions. She didn't like anyone in the whole village, after all, no one in the village had helped her when she was at her lowest point.

If it weren't for the fear that she would die, no one would have cared for her when she collapsed in the field from severe bleeding. She feels chilled whenever she thinks about these things.

Bai Jing, who was still immersed in seeing her mother, was also pulled back to reality by her mother's voice.

"Aunt Feng." Bai Jing turned her head and looked at the person standing not far away, her eyes staring at her as if they were poisoned. "You dog, you dare to come to my house. I'll beat you to death."

Bai Jing, for some unknown reason, made a move to get out of bed and hit someone.

How could Luo Chunhua allow her daughter to lay a hand on her? No matter where you look, it's unacceptable for a junior to hit an elder.

"Auntie, you should go back first. Jing'er is confused. Don't scare you."

Baijia Village is very remote. Although it has entered the new century, it still retains some of the things from its ancestors.

Bai Jing's glare had startled Feng Ni; that little bitch's eyes seemed to want to tear her apart. "Okay, then, I'll go back first," she swallowed hard and said with difficulty.

After saying that, she nimbly ran out the door.

Luo Chunhua ignored her and gently patted her daughter's back, saying, "My dear daughter, don't be afraid, Mommy's here, Mommy's here."

After repeating this several times, Bai Jing finally calmed down.

"Mother, sob sob, Mother, I miss you so much."

Although she had four siblings, it is said that a family is only complete when there are parents. Since her parents passed away, the three surviving sisters have become distant for various reasons. She never blamed anyone, only lamented that she had lost her family.

If it weren't for her children's filial piety, she would have given up long ago and gone to find her parents.

“Mother is here, Mother is always here, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, Mother is with you.” Although Luo Chunhua didn’t know what was wrong with her daughter, she assumed that she had been frightened in a dream.

After a long while, Bai Jing fell asleep in her mother's arms.

Luo Chunhua gently laid the person down, covered her with a blanket, and then tiptoed out of the room.

Looking at the sun outside, Luo Chunhua felt a pang of sadness.

Baijia Village is a large village, and her family belongs to the fourth team, which was reorganized by various parties.

They were not valued by the village and had little work to do. After all, it was a newly reclaimed production brigade, so everything had to be started from scratch. If a family didn't have many able-bodied people, they wouldn't even have a decent meal all year round.

In families like hers, even if the rice is divided among them, each person can't afford a single bite to eat all year round.

Besides potatoes and beans, they usually eat wild vegetables mixed in, and most of the time they just drink wild vegetable soup to fill their stomachs.

Over the years, even adults, let alone children, would find it unbearable.

Now all four of her children have big heads. Her daughter is sixteen, and not only is she short, but she looks like a twelve or thirteen-year-old from a well-off family. If it weren't for her long hair, people would probably think she was a boy.

This is also the main reason why she didn't directly refuse her aunt's marriage proposal earlier. Her family's conditions were too poor, too poor. If her daughter married out, her life would definitely be better than at home.

Not to mention that the Wu family was such a good family.
