‘So cold. It turned out that the water at the bottom of the well was so cold! It was said that death would be a relief, but the taste of death was so cold and unbearable!’ Meng Jiao’s mind was filled with thoughts.
SPLASH!
The cold water splashed over Meng Jiao’s head, making her shiver. She instantly woke up and was instantly stunned.
“Wretched girl! Where did you hide my gold bracelet?”
Meng Jiao wiped the water off her face and looked at the dark and thin woman in front of her with a fierce expression.
That was her adoptive mother, Zhang Xin. However, she looked to be in her thirties.
CLANG!
The iron basin in Zhang Xin’s hand smashed onto Meng Jiao’s head and then fell to the ground, making a series of crisp sounds.
A slap landed on Meng Jiao’s face. Meng Jiao saw stars and heard Zhang Xin’s scolding, “Say something! You little b*tch! Where did you hide my gold bracelet? How dare you steal my things! Hurry up and hand it over! I’ll beat you to death!”
Zhang Xin raised the table leg beside her hand high up.
Meng Jiao instinctively reached out her hand to cover her face. Thinking of a similar memory, she quickly said, “I didn’t take it, it was Dong! He wants to give it to his girlfriend!”
The table leg still landed hard on Meng Jiao’s shoulder. Zhang Xin said, “Nonsense, how could my son have a girlfriend? You’re the only thief in this family!”
Meng Jiao was in so much pain that tears flowed down her face. She hurriedly said, “Dong hid it under his pillow. If you don’t believe me, go and see for yourself! His girlfriend is the village chief’s daughter, Bei!”
The table leg that Zhang Xin raised once again paused for a moment and finally did not fall down.
Meng Jiao did not have time to catch her breath and quickly said, “Bei has been refusing to agree to Dong’s courting. Dong wants to give her an expensive gift and tomorrow is Bei’s birthday. ”
Zhang Xin rolled her eyes and finally let go of the table leg in her hand. She was about to verify it when she walked to the door and turned around.
Zhang Xin said fiercely, “Hurry up and get up. Wash my clothes and clean up the house. Make braised pork tonight. My son loves it! Mark my words, our family doesn’t keep idle people!”
Meng Jiao heard Zhang Xin’s footsteps fade away and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
The real pain made Meng Jiao realize something. She was reborn and returned to her twelve-year-old self!
She struggled to get up and looked around the dilapidated and narrow attic.
She did not have a bed, so she put a cushion on the floor of the attic and covered it with a thin old quilt, which had been drenched by Zhang Xin.
The simple bed was surrounded by junk. The only new and clean thing in the attic was the textbook that Zhao Dong had thrown to her. It was the homework that she had to complete for him.
Meng Jiao took a deep breath and climbed out of the wet blanket in pain. She found a dry place to sit down. After this torment, her body began to feel hot again. Her internal organs were burning, and even breathing was hot. Meng Jiao habitually put her fingers on her wrist and sighed.
She was starving and she could not blame herself for wanting to die at this age in her previous life. It was too difficult to live!
Meng Jio heard the commotion downstairs. She thought, ‘Zhang Xin should have found the gold bracelet. However, she would not take it back. She should be on her way to spreading the news that her son and the village chief’s daughter were dating. She won’t be back for a while.’
Meng Jiao forced herself to go downstairs. She drank the warm water in the thermos flask and found half a box of moldy biscuits to eat. Finally, she regained some strength.
Meng Jiao slowly crawled back to the attic. She was too lazy to tidy up the damp bedding and did not do any more housework. Because someone would come to take her home this afternoon, she could go back to her own home and not have to worry about being beaten or scolded.
She sat up to make herself feel more comfortable and slowly rubbed the meridian points on her hands. She thought, ‘My fever could not go down completely, but I shouldn’t make myself feel too uncomfortable. I could still control the fever.’
After a while, when Meng Jiao felt better, she slowly closed her eyes. All the things in her previous life were still vivid in her mind.
She was originally the only daughter of the richest man in the city, the Meng family. Unexpectedly, a black-hearted nanny replaced her with her own daughter and sent her to this remote village to be the adoptive daughter of the Zhao family.
Meng Jiao had not been living comfortably since she was young, and she had to do all the housework. If she did not do her job well, she would be beaten up by her adoptive mother.
The Zhao family’s son, Zhao Dong, treated her like a servant girl, either beating or scolding her. Before she was twelve, Meng Jiao suffered so much that she even thought of committing suicide.
Fortunately, Meng Jiao’s parents found her and took her home. At that time, Meng Jiao cried tears of joy. She was finally free from the sea of suffering. She was finally free from being beaten, scolded, and starved.
However, she did not expect that when she found her true identity, it was just a transition from one kind of suffering to another.
Although her mother was also happy to have found her daughter, she had a deep relationship with her adopted daughter.
In the end, the Meng family unanimously agreed that the one who deserved to be punished was the nanny, and it had nothing to do with the nanny’s daughter. Meng Yao was raised by the Meng family, the grace of birth could not be compared with the grace of nurture.
Meng Yao, who had been raised by the Meng family since she was young, would definitely not be as vicious as her mother. She had been obedient and sensible since she was young, just like Mrs. Meng. Therefore, even if Meng Jiao returned, Meng Yao would continue to stay with the Meng family and be the third daughter of the Meng family.
Meng Jiao became the fourth daughter of the Meng family.
Meng Yao was Meng Jiao’s second nightmare after the three members of the Zhao family.
To Meng Yao, it was already a bolt from the blue that she was not the Meng family’s daughter. Moreover, the Meng family had to bring back their daughter in a grand manner. Meng Yao, who felt that her status was seriously threatened, had already set up an inescapable net before Meng Jiao returned, vowing to send her, the real Miss Meng, to hell.
Poor Meng Jiao thought that finding her parents was a blessing. Step by step, she was schemed against by Meng Yao. Gradually, she was despised by the Meng family and bullied by her peers.
Meng Jiao was bullied since she was young and had a timid personality. She did not know how to defend herself, so she gradually distanced herself from her family.
Later, Meng Yao secretly changed Meng Jiao’s choice of admission during the college entrance examination and Meng Jiao went to a small city in another province to study traditional medicine, which disappointed her parents and brothers.
