Chapter 78 Not Marrying an Educated Youth (Qi Yuan)

In 1977, the first year after the resumption of the college entrance examination, the original owner was admitted to a university in Beijing as she wished, but gave up the opportunity to go to university because of Liu Ruyan, an educated youth sent to the countryside, and never had the opportunity to go to university again.

"Xiao Yuan, go to sleep early. Tomorrow you'll go with your older brother to pick up the educated youth." Qi's father placed a teacup of honey water in front of Qi Yuan, and then went to instruct Qi Yuan's older brother, Qi Xiang.

"Hey!" Qi Yuan hadn't processed the memories yet, but when he heard someone call his name, he answered without caring what they were saying.

After Qi's father left, leaving Qi Yuan alone in the room, Qi Yuan began to process her memories.

Qi's father is the village chief of Qi Family Village. He has two sons and one daughter. His eldest son, Qi Xiang, is 22 years old and has been married for three years. He has a daughter. His second daughter, Qi Nian, is 21 years old. She married the eldest son of the village chief of the neighboring village two years ago and has a son. Qi Yuan is the youngest son. He is only 17 years old and is currently in his second year of high school.

It just so happened to be a holiday, and the original owner wanted to go to town to buy some school supplies and snacks. That's why Qi's father specially instructed him to make this trip. The original owner also went with his older brother to pick up the educated youth, and fell in love at first sight with Liu Ruyan, who was sweet and cute with fair skin.

It wouldn't be accurate to say it was love at first sight. The original owner, who hadn't seen much of the world, simply felt that Liu Ruyan was somewhat special, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what made her so special.

Qi Yuan: Four men and one woman, with Liu Ruyan being the only girl, how could she not be special? It's like a flower growing in a field of grass, it would be strange if she didn't stand out!

At first, Liu Ruyan had no interest in the original owner. Later, for some reason, Liu Ruyan appeared in front of the original owner frequently. The original owner thought it was fate between them. As the number of times increased, the original owner, who originally had a good feeling for Liu Ruyan, gradually began to be delusional.

After several chance encounters, the original owner took the initiative and Liu Ruyan did not defend herself, and the two became friends.

Since Liu Ruyan got together with the original owner, she no longer needed to work in the fields, and her dark face quickly returned to its original white color.

It was also good luck for Liu Ruyan and others; they went to the countryside in the spring, and news of the college entrance examination came in the winter.

The original owner was a senior in high school and easily got into university without having to pick up her past knowledge, while Liu Ruyan failed the exam.

"Brother Qi Yuan, I'm not good enough for you. Just forget about me and go to university, ugh..." Liu Ruyan came to the original owner of the body crying and gagging as she spoke.

A month before the college entrance examination, the original owner had a relationship with Liu Ruyan in a daze. The next morning, he found Liu Ruyan sleeping next to him. The original owner was filled with remorse and blamed himself for being too forward with his beloved. He wanted to marry Liu Ruyan on the spot, but Liu Ruyan refused.

What did Liu Ruyan say back then?

"Brother Qi Yuan, if we get married before the college entrance exam, the villagers will definitely start speculating about what happened. How am I supposed to live in the village after that? It's better to wait until after the college entrance exam. If you really want to take responsibility for me... that would be a double celebration, wouldn't it?"

Hearing Liu Ruyan say this, the original owner could not force her, so she had no choice but to go along with Liu Ruyan's wishes and promised not to tell her family.

The original owner had seen what her sister-in-law and second sister looked like when they were pregnant. Seeing Liu Ruyan constantly gagging, she suddenly realized what was going on and pulled Liu Ruyan to go to the clinic.

"Don't go. We're not married yet. If word gets out, my reputation will be ruined. What if someone reports me..." At this point, Liu Ruyan looked terrified and shrank back.

The original owner felt sorry for his lover, and since the college entrance examination had just been completed, he didn't take Liu Ruyan to the village clinic for a checkup. Instead, he went straight home to inform Qi's parents.

The original owner felt that Liu Ruyan failed to get into university because of her pregnancy. After much thought, she gave up the opportunity to go to university. Even when her father beat her with a stick, he couldn't change her mind.

Qi's mother, sister-in-law, and Qi Nian could only try to persuade Liu Ruyan, hoping she could change the original owner's mind. But Liu Ruyan just cried silently, saying that she couldn't control the original owner's decision either.

Ultimately, the original owner did not go to university. At the same time, Qin Shou, an educated youth in the village, received an admission notice from Peking University and boarded a train to university.

The following year, after Liu Ruyan gave birth to a child, she took the college entrance examination again and finally got into university, while the original owner of the body failed the exam.

Qi's parents were so worried their hair was almost turning white, but then Liu Ruyan proposed marrying the original owner of this body, which made the Qi family overjoyed. Qi Yuan was only eighteen years old, not old enough to register their marriage, so the two didn't get a marriage certificate. They just held a banquet in the village, which was considered their wedding.

The Qi family is known for its simple and honest folk customs, and is famous for its doting on wives in the surrounding area.

After confirming that Liu Ruyan was now family, the original owner wanted to go to Beijing with her. The Qi family did not object and personally saw the young couple off on the train to Beijing. As for their son, Qi Qin, he was left in Qi Family Village.

When Liu Ruyan was a sophomore in college, the original owner of this body made a name for herself in Beijing and had some money. Seeing that Liu Ruyan really missed her son, she brought Qi Qin to Beijing, and the family of three finally settled down in Beijing.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. The original owner's business has grown bigger and bigger. He has a villa, a courtyard house, and a considerable amount of savings, and has become a well-known entrepreneur in the area.

After graduating from university, Liu Ruyan went directly to the original owner's company and even brought Qin Shou, who had been sent to the countryside in Qijia Village, into the company.

One day, the original owner returned home early from a business trip and saw Qin Shou, Liu Ruyan, and Qi Qin having a warm meal together. Qi Qin even called Qin Shou "Dad" and said a lot of bad things about the original owner.

The original owner quietly left home, pretending that she hadn't seen anything.

A month later, after the original owner had sorted out the company's situation, he discovered that his company was already heavily indebted, and all the funds had been transferred to Qin Shou and Liu Ruyan's names. In those days, getting the money back was extremely difficult, not to mention that Liu Ruyan had also borrowed a lot of high-interest loans in the original owner's name.

The original owner's university admission letter was given to Qin Shou by Liu Ruyan, which is why the original owner failed to get into university the following year.

After realizing she couldn't handle the consequences of divorce, the original owner invited Qin Shou home for dinner one day and drugged all three of them. At that moment, the original owner had no intention of killing them; she only wanted to reclaim the fruits of his labor over the years. However, she didn't expect that each of the three would be so stubborn.

Then tragedy struck, and the names of the four people appeared in the news.

In his previous life, the original owner had already taken revenge himself, so he didn't hate that shameless family of three. The original owner just wanted to stay away from them and, if possible, tie them down completely. He wanted to see how Qin Shou and the others would live without a sucker.

Furthermore, the original owner hoped to go to university this time. In his previous life, not being able to go to university was a regret for everyone in the Qi family, and in this life, he did not want to disappoint his family again.

If the original owner hadn't killed three people in his previous life, causing such a blood feud, Qi Yuan wouldn't have come into being.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Qi Yuan drank the warm honey water, snuggled into bed, and planned to enjoy the life of being pampered by her family on behalf of the original owner.

"Is my little brother awake yet?" Qi Xiang's voice rang out from outside the door, just as Qi Yuan opened his eyes.

"He's awake! He's awake!" Qi Yuan jumped up and put on the thermal underwear he had put in bed last night. It was warm and he didn't feel cold at all.

As soon as I stepped outside, a cold wind blew in my face; the saying "spring chill is in the air" is no exaggeration.

"You two go to town today and ask about Xiaoyuan's name. The person who registered it didn't do it correctly. The 'yuan' in 'wish' should be 'wish,' but they wrote the 'yuan' in 'grief' instead. They're just taking advantage of your grandfather's illiteracy. If it were me..."

As soon as Qi's father saw Qi Xiang and Qi Yuan, he started nagging, and Qi's mother nodded in agreement.

"Dad, I remember." Qi Xiang also felt that his younger brother's name was not good and it would be best to change it.

Qi Yuan sat down with a smile, reached out and tapped his little niece Qi Tiantian's nose. Qi Tiantian blinked her big eyes and looked at Qi Yuan, wondering what game her uncle was going to play with her today.

"I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me? Honestly, you don't even care about your own name, are you really not afraid of carrying this name for the rest of your life..." Qi's father was furious when he saw that Qi Yuan acted as if nothing had happened.

"Okay, Dad," Qi Yuan said, pursing her lips. What's wrong with this name? Qi Yuan thought it was perfectly fine. What's with all this talk about auspiciousness or inauspiciousness? Even if an incompetent person has an auspicious name, they'll still starve if they can't afford to eat.

"Eldest brother, pay more attention, don't be like your little brother..." Seeing that Qi Yuan still looked indifferent, Qi's father sighed and pulled Qi Xiang aside to give him some instructions.

"Uncle, egg, eat." Qi Tiantian moved closer to Qi Yuan, her little hand outstretched, revealing a perfect egg yolk.

"You naughty girl, I knew you were eating so fast today! You wanted to trade your egg yolk with your uncle again!" As soon as Sister-in-law Qi turned her head, she saw the egg yolk in Qi Tiantian's palm. Just as she was about to take it, Qi Tiantian dodged and stuffed the egg yolk directly into Qi Yuan's mouth.

Then, blinking her innocent big eyes, she looked at Qi Yuan with a puzzled expression, as if to say, "I gave you the yolk, why didn't you give me the egg white?"

Everyone at the dinner table was amused by Qi Tiantian's mischievous appearance, and even Qi's sister-in-law laughed so hard that she stopped scolding Qi Tiantian.

After a burst of laughter and commotion, Qi Yuan followed Qi Xiang onto the carriage heading to town.

Sure enough, when they arrived in town, they still couldn't change Qi Yuan's name. Qi Xiang came out dejectedly. Just as he was about to cheer up and comfort Qi Yuan, he saw Qi Yuan stuffing steamed buns into his mouth. When he saw Qi Yuan come out, he handed him a few more steamed buns.

Qi Xiang: You still have the appetite to eat!

"I just finished eating, I'm not hungry yet. I'll eat when we get home." Qi Xiang took the things from Qi Yuan's hands and left him a bag of steamed buns.

Qi Yuan's mouth was stuffed full, so he didn't say anything, just nodded and followed behind Qi Xiang.

Ten minutes later, the educated youth arrived. Qi Yuan was busy eating steamed buns and didn't have time to see what Liu Ruyan looked like.

Qi Yuan walked at the front, taking small bites of his steamed bun. The other educated youth had just gotten off the train and hadn't had much to eat along the way. Seeing Qi Yuan like this, and with the aroma of the meat buns being so tempting, Qin Shou kept swallowing his saliva behind him, inwardly cursing Qi Yuan for being such a show-off.

"Comrade, could you please stop him from eating?" Qin Shou had never suffered like this before. The smell of meat buns made his stomach ache terribly. He tugged at Liu Ruyan and gave her a wink. Liu Ruyan then spoke up.

The Qi brothers acted as if they hadn't heard anything and went about their business. So Liu Ruyan raised her voice and repeated herself, which made the other three educated youth look at her as if she were an idiot.

"Me?" Qi Yuan turned around and pointed to himself. Only then did he see Liu Ruyan's appearance. Well, she was average, barely presentable. As for Qin Shou, he was a pretty boy. No wonder he could get Liu Ruyan to speak up for him.

"Eat your food! If you can't stand the smell, tell him to get lost!" Qi Xiang was already furious. His name hadn't been changed, and his younger brother would have to carry this awful name for who knows how long. Now, hearing someone disapproving of Qi Yuan eating, Qi Xiang didn't care whether it was a man or a woman and just swore.

Qi Xiang was a big, burly man who worked in the fields all year round. When he got fierce, he startled Liu Ruyan, and she didn't dare to say another word.

Along the way, everyone was as quiet as chickens, except for Qi Yuan who kept smacking his lips. When Qin Shou and the others finally arrived at the village, Qi Yuan finally stopped eating his steamed buns, waved to Qi Xiang, and said, "Brother, I'm going home first."

"Hmm, take it easy. Go home and drink some hot water, or you'll get a stomachache."

“Capitalism…” Liu Ruyan muttered softly, which Qi Xiang overheard. Qi Xiang rolled his eyes at Liu Ruyan and Qin Shou, but didn’t reply. Don’t think he didn’t see it; it was that pretty boy who pulled that idiot a few times just now.

Qi Xiang disliked Liu Ruyan and Qin Shou, so he simply dumped them at the educated youth compound and drove the oxcart back to the village committee.
