Time Travel: Volume 1! Starting from a Small Mountain Village

Hearing Chen Yulan say this, Long Lifan guessed that she had given up the idea of ​​suicide, and her heart was relieved. But when she heard Chen Yulan attribute everything to fate, she immediately retorted, "What do you mean by bad fate? I think you're just making excuses for your actions."

"Everyone's destiny is in their own hands. You must know that my fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven. If people's fate is predetermined, then why do we work so hard?"

Life is a long journey, full of hardships and difficulties, but with persistent effort, we can overcome them.

"Don't give up, because no one can be your support; don't give up, because there is still hope. And you are the children's support, and they are your hope."

After saying this, Long Lifan walked out of the Qi family home without looking back. Chen Yulan pondered those words carefully. Yes! The children were her hope, and I was their support.

What would happen to the children if she collapsed? No, she couldn't collapse, and she couldn't collapse for the sake of the children. At that moment, she seemed to have found the motivation to live again.

So he picked up the small bowl that was on the bedside table and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

"Aunt Chen, what Long Zhiqing said just now..."

Seeing Chen Yulan start eating, Qi Shishen's expression relaxed considerably. However, remembering what the young girl had said earlier, he worried that Aunt Chen might misunderstand, so he wanted to clarify things for Long Zhiqing.

"You don't need to say anything, I understand!" At this point, what couldn't she understand? Everything the other person did was for her own good. Now, all she needed to do was recover and provide for her children.

However, news of Chen Yulan and her son returning to Dongwan Brigade spread, and someone went to an old house and shouted, "Grandma Lin, your daughter-in-law is back!"

"Really? Where is she?" Mrs. Lin asked excitedly upon hearing the news. She ran out of the room to greet her.

"Stop looking, I'm talking about your eldest daughter-in-law." The man smiled and said with a teasing tone.

"She still has the nerve to come back."

Upon hearing that it wasn't her beloved daughter-in-law, Old Mrs. Lin's face instantly fell, turning somewhat gloomy.

Grandma Lin has three sons. Her eldest son, Lin Gensheng, insisted on marrying a widowed woman with a child, which angered the elderly couple so much that they separated from him. Her second son, Lin Yunsheng, currently lives with them.

The most successful of them all is his youngest son, Lin Chaosheng, who works at a food factory in the county. He got married two years ago, and the family of three has settled down in the county.

So when she heard that her daughter-in-law had returned, her first thought was of her youngest son and daughter-in-law.

Although her youngest son had settled down and gotten married in the county, she felt that he needed a place to stay when he came back, so she used the house where Chen Yulan used to live as his house in the village.

"I think you're just afraid she'll come back and fight you for the house!"

Widow Liu, standing in the crowd, couldn't help but sneer. If anyone in Dongwan Brigade could rival Widow Liu, Old Lady Lin was definitely one of them. The two had often clashed and argued, each winning and losing in their own way.

Dongwan Village is so small that there are no secrets. Almost everyone in the village knows that Old Lady Lin forcibly drove away her eldest daughter-in-law and gave the house to her youngest son.

"That house was originally left to me by my eldest son. I can give it to whomever I want," Old Mrs. Lin said dismissively upon hearing Widow Liu's voice.

"Grandma Lin, what you're saying isn't right! Didn't Long Zhiqing mention that inheritance law? Chen Yulan and her son are entitled to live here."

Widow Liu had suffered repeated losses at Long Lifan's hands, but she remembered something about the inheritance law that Long, the educated youth, had mentioned at the Zhou family's house. She looked at Old Lady Lin and said meaningfully.

"You bullshit!"

"Whether I'm lying or not, just ask Long Zhiqing and you'll know. I bet you're thinking about where Chen Yulan and her son are right now!" Looking at the usually argumentative Old Lady Lin, who seemed somewhat annoyed, Widow Liu said with a smug smile, "I'll find out."

"Then I'll tell you kindly, the mother and her two children are currently at the Qi family's house. You can still kick them out now."

"However, I think I saw Long Zhiqing there too, but I don't know if you dare to go."

Upon hearing Widow Liu say that Chen Yulan and her son were staying at the Qi family's house, she thought to herself, "Great! How dare a landlord's family take in that jinx!" She immediately prepared to go out, teach them a lesson, and kick them out. However, after taking only two steps, she heard Widow Liu's next sentence and couldn't move her legs.

People leave their names, trees leave their shadows.

Long, the educated youth, was so formidable that she had offended Old Lady Zhou, Widow Liu, and even the cadres from the neighboring village had suffered at her hands. Although she often clashed with Widow Liu, she knew her own limitations.

Long Zhiqing not only had to apologize to Widow Liu, but also had to give her compensation. He figured he wouldn't get away with it either.

The key issue is that she's not in the right. If she really brings Long Zhiqing out, she'll probably be the one who suffers.

"What's wrong? You're too scared to go!" Widow Liu regretted her words when she saw Old Lady Lin cower at the mention of Long Zhiqing's name. Why had she brought up Long Zhiqing beforehand? She was hoping Old Lady Lin would suffer at Long Zhiqing's hands!

"Who says I dare not? I just don't want to go to such extremes." Old Mrs. Lin's confidence was clearly lacking, and her words were somewhat hesitant.

"Tch," Widow Liu scoffed, about to say something sarcastic to Old Lady Lin, when Chen Yulan walked over with Lin Jie and his sister.

"Mom, I want to move back home!"

Chen Yulan's tone was extremely firm, clearly intending to demonstrate her resolve to Old Lady Lin. She didn't say "want," but rather "demand," to emphasize that she was informing her, not pleading.

After two days in bed, Chen Yulan not only recovered but also came to a realization. Her parents' home was ultimately not a place to stay for long; even if she hadn't been sick, her sisters-in-law wouldn't have treated her well. Rather than let her children suffer their disdain, it was better to return to Dongwan Brigade, where at least they wouldn't feel like dependents in their own home.

She was her children's support, and she should think of them. The house was built by her and her husband through hard work, and had nothing to do with Old Lady Lin. You see, when they divided the family property, they didn't divide anything; everything in the house was acquired by her and her husband together.

"Who is your mother?"

Old Mrs. Lin was shocked that Chen Yulan was really after the house. She said angrily, "You jinx, you've already killed my son, and now you want to come back and bring misfortune to other people? Forget about it!"

"This house was left to me by my eldest son. You want to move back? No way."

Say what you just said again!

Just then, an angry voice came from the side, and an old woman with a hunched back walked over, leading a child of about five or six years old.

The old woman's deep wrinkles etched the marks of time, and her hair was already gray, making her advanced age impossible to ignore. But her voice, heard in the crowd, made everyone hold their breath.

Even Widow Liu moved her figure back a little, afraid of displeasing the old ancestor.

"Grandma, what brings you here!"

When Old Lady Lin saw the speaker's face clearly, she was also startled. She immediately stepped forward and said with a fawning smile.

Although everyone in the village calls her Old Lady Lin, the woman in front of me is actually the oldest woman in Dongwan Brigade. I am a junior in front of her; she is the most senior person in Dongwan Brigade.

"I'm asking you to repeat what you just said!"
