After rebirth, I still experienced a mess

5 I Can't Die

In the three or four days after waking up, Xiao Wei tried to commit suicide every day.

Those who jumped into the river or hanged themselves were all rescued. The one who wanted to jump into the well got his body stuck at the well mouth and couldn't fall down. He was pulled out by force and his ankle was sprained.

Xiao Wei was cursed by everyone, and the reason was simple: if you want to die, just die peacefully, don't harm others, digging a well is so difficult!

On the one hand, people are not allowed to die, and on the other hand, people are forced to death. Xiao Wei feels that this world is really wonderful, and he knows that it will continue to be wonderful.

Unable to die, Xiao Wei calmed down and carefully sorted out the memories of his past life. He knew that in two or three years, life would become extremely fragile and the population would drop sharply. It had nothing to do with whether there was a well or not. Xiao Wei did not want to defend himself. After all, some truths were just heresy in the face of these innocent and lovely things.

The kind sister-in-law never left his side, so it became extremely difficult for Xiao Wei to commit suicide. The main reason was that he was worried that he would not die immediately and would become a half-dead cripple.

After three days of following his sister-in-law to farm, feed livestock, wash and cook, Xiao Wei had to accept his situation. Since he couldn't die, he might as well live well.

Most importantly, my kind elder brother and his wife will pass away in three years.

When Xiao Wei first woke up, he felt that even though the troubled times had passed, he couldn't change anything in the current environment. Besides, as a mere ox to make up the numbers, living was just suffering.

Now she feels that she should do something.

After my eldest brother got married the year before last, my eldest sister-in-law and mother-in-law didn't get along very well. Half a year later, my eldest brother built three thatched houses next door and lived separately.

Xiao Wei also didn't get along with her parents. After a few quarrels, she took the initiative to live with her brother and sister-in-law. They didn't eat together except on special occasions and holidays.

Although they are not together, it does not affect the dislike of their parents and brothers. Fortunately, the eldest sister-in-law is quite tolerant of Xiaowei's cleanliness and does not interfere too much, at least she did not stop it for the time being.

After becoming mute, Xiao Wei was like a new person. Not only did he develop a cleanliness obsession, but he also cooked delicious food. The mud walls, thatched roofs, pots and pans, the whole house looked much better.

As the clever villagers expected, the matchmaker came that night to discuss the cancellation of the engagement, with the reason being that the village chief's family would never marry a useless person.

Of course, Xiao Wei's parents did not agree, saying that Xiao Wei was still young and the marriage could not be held for at least two years, and Xiao Wei might be able to get better. If she insisted on withdrawing, she would not return a single cent of the betrothal gift.

The matchmaker naturally explained the pros and cons: "It doesn't matter if you don't give up a cent. I wish your family a stable life."

The sister-in-law wanted to persuade her parents-in-law to return some of the money, but Xiao Wei forcibly dragged her away.

Back in the house, Xiao Wei had to warn quietly: "The betrothal gift was collected by our parents, let them deal with it themselves, it has nothing to do with us."

The eldest sister-in-law was surprised and happy: "Are you okay?"

"I'm not sick at all. I just don't want to marry that scumbag. But I can't tell anyone."

The eldest sister-in-law expressed her understanding: "That street urchin has bad behavior and is indeed not a good match. But pretending to be sick is not a good idea. Sooner or later you will be discovered."

"I have decided to leave here as soon as possible. My sister-in-law and brother have to go with me. If we don't leave, we will all die."

The eldest sister-in-law was shocked: "Will the village chief kill us for a little gift?"

"That's not the case yet. But if we stay here, we will be harassed and oppressed by them, and we will never be able to stand up again. If we don't move, we will die; if we move, we will live. We don't have to worry about it here. We can only stand out if we go to a place where they don't know us."

"But this place is flat, where can we hide?"

"As long as you leave the county, the mayor can't do anything about it."

"Now they are catching bad guys and spies everywhere. The land has already been divided equally. How are we going to live outside?"

"We have to do it now while we are young and childless, so we can find a wasteland to cultivate and survive. It will be too late if we wait any longer."

"Your eldest brother will definitely not want to leave."

"Go to the village first and get a certificate to go out. Tell them you're taking me to Port No. 9 to seek medical treatment. We'll take it one step at a time."

The eldest sister-in-law expressed embarrassment: "I will talk to your brother tonight, but I don't think it will work."

As expected, the eldest brother was firmly opposed. He said that now that we have land, as long as we take good care of it, we will have a good harvest and our lives will get better and better. If we go to a place where we are unfamiliar with the land and reclaim wasteland, we can't help each other with livestock and farm tools. It will be difficult to have enough food in the short term. If we get sick, there will be no one to help us. Besides, living in a village alone is a taboo, and we must listen to our ancestors.

The eldest sister-in-law was helpless as she couldn't convince her eldest brother, and she herself didn't want to leave either.

Xiao Wei did not expect to convince his brother and sister-in-law all at once, but he made his idea public in advance. He would have a complete plan and implement it step by step, which would eventually force his brother and sister-in-law to leave.

As expected, the next afternoon, Wang Youfu, the man he was engaged to, came to harass him and said to Xiao Wei with a joking smile, "Wife, how come you are so clean?"

Xiao Wei was hanging clothes with a sullen face, not even looking at him.

Wang Youfu didn't care and reached out from behind to grab her hair. Xiao Wei turned her body suddenly and punched him in the chest with her elbow, but he dodged it easily. It was obvious that he had done this many times.

"If you don't want to return the betrothal gift, then let me kiss you."

Wang Youfu followed him into the house with a wicked smile and continued to harass him. Xiao Wei quickly ran to the long table beside the stove, picked up a kitchen knife, and raised it viciously.

Unexpectedly, Wang Youfu was not afraid at all and was quite skilled. He still smiled and moved forward, quickly grabbing her right wrist. When he was about to take the knife away, Xiao Wei had already grabbed the rolling pin with her left hand and swung it away with force.

Wang Youfu then jumped away and cursed with a fake smile: "You bitch, are you stupid? I won't back down from this kiss."

Xiao Wei still said nothing, waved the rolling pin, and drove Wang Youfu out.

On that day in her previous life, Xiao Wei did not have the courage to resist, let alone hit Wang Youfu, which resulted in her virginity being deflowered by this scumbag. She did not even dare to tell her family at the time.

When the eldest sister-in-law came back from collecting grass for the pigs, she saw Wang Youfu running away with laughter, and sighed, "It's not a bad thing that he didn't break off the engagement."

The meaning is very clear. Although Wang Youfu is a scoundrel, his father is the head of the village after all. She may not have trouble living a good life if she marries him. As a playboy, it is impossible for him to be content.

Xiao Wei didn't answer, but suddenly swung the rolling pin and smashed it hard, breaking two bowls and plates and knocking a piece of the table off.

The eldest sister-in-law thought Xiao Wei was really crazy, and shouted in pain to stop him, but Xiao Wei had already run out, smashing everything he saw, causing chaos.

Hearing the noise, neighbors rushed over, but did not approach, shouting randomly: "Xiao Wei is crazy, really crazy."

The eldest sister-in-law ran after him crying and finally hugged Xiao Wei. She snatched the rolling pin from him and dragged him into the room while choking with sobs. They struggled for a long time before she finally calmed down.

People who were watching the fun crowded outside the gate, speculating that Xiao Wei must have gotten into trouble with something unclean, and that it would be best to go to the temple and ask Taoist Wu to exorcise the evil spirit.

After lunch, the eldest brother accepted the villagers’ advice and took Xiao Wei to the Taoist temple in the south of the village.

Due to the war and the fight against superstition, the Taoist temple has been in dire straits. More than half of the houses have been demolished, and the bricks and tiles have been taken by nearby residents. Apart from the leaky main hall, there are only two or three rooms that are barely habitable.

Now there is only a lonely old Taoist priest living there. He is over sixty years old, thin, hunchbacked, deaf and blind. During the land reform, he was given acres of land to cultivate, and he lives a very hard life.

When the eldest brother and his wife brought Xiao Wei there, the old Taoist was fumbling with his hands to tidy up the fields. He called out loudly several times before responding slowly. He seemed very calm about the fact that someone came to ask for divination, and acted as if it was nothing important.

Asking a blind Taoist priest about his future was something Xiao Wei found ridiculous but also very exciting.
