Unable to endure the hardships of rural life, she returned home to arrange a marriage with a militar

As evening approached, the quiet tenement building came alive again.

Female workers in dark blue suits carried stoves and shoveled coal briquettes to cook in the stairwell, with wisps of smoke drifting out from the stairwell.

Everyone else was busy, except for one house whose wooden door was tightly shut.

A woman nudged the woman squatting by the stove fanning herself, and both of them looked toward the stairs.

"Hey, slow down, watch your step." Shen Rujun helped Shu Yun up the stairs, opened the tightly closed wooden door, and then closed it again to block the stares of others.

In a corner where no one was watching, a grass-green figure flashed by and disappeared into the stairwell in an instant.

A few crimson lights flickered in the dim alley. Seeing the people return, the man in the lead asked, "How did it go?"

"She's awake now, and I saw her go home with my own eyes."

The man narrowed his triangular eyes and swore, "That woman's got guts." The cigarette butt was crushed.

Shu Yunmu was dazed as Shen Rujun helped him lie down on the bedroom bed and covered him with the blanket.

Shen Rujun touched Shu Yun's forehead with a look of tenderness, "You should rest well, your aunt is outside."

After Shen Rujun left, Shu Yun was left alone in the room. She closed her eyes, rubbed her throbbing temples, and sighed at the empty room.

She was clearly from the 21st century, and for the first twenty-odd years of her life, she lived frugally and lived a very frugal life. Finally, her luck turned around, and she received a huge amount of compensation for her demolished house. Counting the string of zeros in her bank account, Shu Yun was so happy that she couldn't sleep well all day and was so excited that she made a fuss.

With dark circles under her eyes, she planned out her future: first, say goodbye to the evil capitalists, throw her resignation letter hard on her boss's bald head, then retire early and enjoy her retirement!

However, before she could spend a single penny, she saw a little girl fall into the water on the street. On impulse, she jumped in to save her. The child was rescued, but she was exhausted, perhaps because she hadn't slept well for several days. Her calves cramped, and she sank to the bottom.

When she woke up, she had mysteriously traveled back to the 1970s and was in the body of a girl who had also drowned.

This morning, Shu Yun woke up in the hospital and learned that her tens of millions of "w" had grown wings and flown away before she could even use them. She felt as bitter as if she had eaten bitter herbs. She had no mind to pay attention to her surroundings and was pushed by Shen Rujun to complete all sorts of tests. Then she packed her bags and went home without stopping.

During that time, Shu Yun's mind was in a daze, in disbelief, and heartbroken. Only now has she recovered, thanks to the self-deception of Ah Q!

What can we do? At least we're still alive, and we can always earn more money.

Suddenly, she clutched her chest, tears welling up in her eyes. No, she couldn't think about it anymore.

Shu Yun tossed and turned on the bed like a pancake for a while before finally accepting reality and starting to sort through the original owner's memories.

This body shares her name, but unlike her wild upbringing in modern times, the girl was loved by her parents from a young age, came from a wealthy family, and was a student at a worker-peasant-soldier university. In the 1970s, this starting point was higher than that of most people.

Just as the original owner of this body was about to graduate and be assigned a job, her parents were brought down by a letter of denunciation. While on a business trip, the two were forcibly brought back for investigation, but they were involved in a car accident on the way and both died.

But this was only the beginning of misfortune. With no one to testify, the parents were easily accused of crimes, the nature of the original owner's identity became questionable, and he was expelled from school.

Meanwhile, when the committee's underlings came to search the house, they saw that the original owner was outstanding in appearance and had evil intentions. They threatened and bribed him, and even tried to take him away by force. The original owner refused and took advantage of the chaos to escape. He ran to the lake and, in a moment of despair, chose to drown himself.

She was then rescued and taken to the hospital. Later, her aunt, who had married far away, returned...

The recollection of past memories ended here, and Shu Yun got up to look around the room.

She was sitting on a black wooden canopy bed, with light pink floral curtains hanging around it in a charming way. There was a large wooden chest and a wardrobe against the wall, the locks of which were broken and there were signs of prying around the edges, indicating that someone had probably come in and searched the place.

She stood up and looked to the side. There was a double wooden window with a not-so-clear glass, some scratches and blurry. One side of the window was pushed open and held in place with a hook. The last rays of the setting sun shone through the yellowish-white gauze curtains.

There was a desk by the window, but it was covered with a thin layer of dust, with fingerprints everywhere. Only a glass vase with a few withered, yellowed jasmine flowers sat quietly in the corner.

There were only a few sketches in the desk drawer, and under the sketches was a black and white photograph of a family of three: a refined-looking middle-aged couple intimately embracing a shy girl in the middle.

Shu Yun's fingertip lingered on the girl's smile. It was so familiar! She looked seven or eight parts like the girl herself; the only difference was probably in her demeanor.

Shu Yun picked up a mirror, in which was reflected the girl's thin and pale face. But she had good features, a small oval face, arched eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, delicate and beautiful features, and a cool and elegant temperament.

However, her overly long bangs covered half of one eye, and her lips were pale and bloodless. Compared to the girl in the photo, she had a more gloomy, fragile, and world-weary feel, which was the part that made her the least like Shu Yun.

Shu Yun swept her overly long hair back, revealing her full forehead and a pair of bright, spirited eyes, instantly dispelling her previous sickly appearance and making her look radiant and lively.

Light footsteps sounded outside the door, and the door opened. Shen Rujun walked in. Although she was old, her features were calm and serene, and her long hair was neatly tied up behind her head. Time had left shallow wrinkles on her face, but it did not diminish her beauty.

Seeing that Shu Yun's eyes were bright and she was no longer as gloomy as she had been during the day, she felt relieved. "How are you feeling? Are you feeling alright?"

Whether it was the original owner's emotions still lingering in her body or a fledgling complex, Shu Yun felt an unusual sense of closeness to Shen Rujun. She unconsciously wanted to lean on her, and she obediently shook her head, "Much better."

"Good boy." Shen Rujun wiped her eyes. "You almost scared your aunt to death. You mustn't do anything foolish again."

Upon learning of her sister and brother-in-law's deaths, Shen Rujun rushed over, only to be told that her niece had drowned herself, which nearly made her faint on the spot.

"Auntie, no, I won't do it again." Shu Yun's voice was hoarse as she clung to Shen Rujun's arm and swayed it gently.

"That's good. As long as you're alive, there's hope. You're just too stubborn sometimes. Even if things don't go well, you still have me. What's there to be afraid of?" Shen Rujun comforted Shu Yun, feeling a little disappointed in her. But seeing how thin Shu Yun's face had become, her heart ached terribly. "Come on, let's go out to eat. Yunyun, you need to eat more. You look so weak right now."

Shen Rujun specially prepared a meat dish for dinner, but it was actually an egg custard with a few slices of Chinese sausage. It wouldn't be unusual in modern times, but it was a delicacy eaten during festivals in an era of scarcity.

The aroma of sausage and the fresh scent of eggs mingled together, filling the living room. As soon as Shu Yun opened the bedroom door, she was greeted by the overwhelming fragrance, and her stomach growled twice in response.

Shu Yun was the only child born to Shu's parents. Their home was not small, so they didn't put the kitchen in the hallway, but instead set aside a separate room in the house.

Shu Yun is meticulous in her work. When she was serving the rice, she closed the window on one side of the kitchen. It's a small matter if the aroma gets out, but it's a big deal if people criticize her lifestyle. Right now, she's in the eye of the storm, so she can't be too careful.

Besides the fragrant steamed egg custard, the other two dishes were rather simple and rustic: stir-fried greens and boiled Chinese cabbage. However, the Chinese cabbage contained pickled vegetables made during the Lunar New Year, so the dishes didn't taste too bland.

Shen Rujun placed the steaming hot egg custard next to Shu Yun, while she herself only ate some green vegetables and cabbage.

"Auntie, you should eat too." Shu Yun scooped several large spoonfuls of steamed egg custard and sausage into Shen Rujun's bowl. "You've worked hard taking care of me during this time."

Shen Rujun was pleased with her niece's thoughtfulness. "You eat it, don't give it to me, I don't like it."

Shu Yun ignored Shen Rujun, scooped several spoonfuls for her, and then sat down to eat.

The smooth steamed egg custard was warm and fragrant when it entered her mouth. Taking a bite of the sausage, the sweet pork flavor mixed with the oil burst in her mouth, instantly warming Shu Yun's internal organs and bringing color back to her pale face.

"Yunyun, come back with me in a while, your aunt will take care of you." Shen Rujun ignored her mother-in-law's cold face before leaving and prepared to act first and ask for permission later.

"When the time comes, your aunt will pick a handsome young man for you in the army."
