Rebirth 07 Becomes the First Internet Celebrity.

My stomach is rumbling and I don’t know what time it is. I haven’t had lunch or dinner.

I went out to find something to eat and went to the kitchen. I wanted to take some steamed buns from the cupboard. The buns were too hard, so I wanted to heat them up. I opened the lid of the pot and saw rice and vegetables. There was hot water stewing under the rice and vegetables, so the rice was still warm.

I was silent for a moment as I looked at the food in front of me, and I couldn't control myself and wanted to cry.

I couldn't help it, so I just sat on the small stool by the fire in the kitchen and ate it in big mouthfuls.

That's how they were, when she felt unloved, they started doing things that gave her something to look forward to.

And most of the disappointments come from so-called expectations.

Jiang Xue was born during the labor boom in the 1990s.

As soon as Mr. and Mrs. Jiang got married, Grandpa and Grandma Jiang divided the family property among their sons.

Jiang's father has five siblings. The eldest is Jiang Ping, the eldest is Jiang Tiancheng, the third is Jiang Haiyang, and the youngest is Jiang He, the younger is Jiang He, and the youngest is Jiang Xiaodie.

At that time, the two youngest children had not yet started their own families, and the eldest daughter had already married, so only the two sons were divided.

Or to be more precise, to separate Jiang Haiyang.

Because Uncle Jiang got married early, his family couldn't accommodate him in the early years, so he built another house on another residential plot early on.

It's like the family has been divided.

Although Jiang Haiyang's marriage was considered a division of the family, he simply gave the two dilapidated houses to Jiang's father and mother, and built a simple kitchen and a stove in the yard, and that was considered a division of the family.

But life still takes place in a yard.

As for money, there is none.

Grandma Jiang's original words: "All the money in the family has been given to you as a dowry to your father-in-law for you to marry a wife. Jiang He is not married yet, so I will not give you a penny. In addition, you have to pay back the money I borrowed for your marriage."

"You are grown up now. You have your own ideas and you should be self-reliant."

These words were also said out of anger, blaming the second daughter-in-law's parents for asking for too much dowry.

Jiang's mother, Liu Yan, was so beautiful that everyone in the surrounding area praised her for her beauty.

Her older brother and younger brother are both waiting for her dowry to marry their wives.

Because she is good-looking and has many suitors, she didn't like Jiang's father at all at the beginning.

The two were classmates, but she was pretty, lived in a town, her parents both had jobs, and her family was well off, so she had many suitors. Jiang Hai, on the other hand, was dull, from the countryside, had an average family background, and had many brothers and sisters.

Jiang Haiyang has liked Liu Yan since school days.

But Liu Yan's parents both wanted her to marry into a good family.

When she was nineteen years old, she was introduced to Hong Kong businessmen who came to invest in the mainland by her brother.

The Hong Kong businessman did not fancy her. Although she was pretty, she was not a girl from a small place, she was timid and had little culture.

Her brother Liu Jun sent her directly to the bed of the Hong Kong businessman.

Just once, my belly got bigger.

Liu Yan's parents and brother began to ask Hong Kong businessmen for resources and jobs because of her pregnancy.

The good times didn't last long. The other party felt that this family was too greedy and that she was being set up. It was still unknown whether the child in the belly was hers.

So the Hong Kong businessman ran away before the child was even born.

At first, Liu Yan and her parents thought that he would definitely come back. After all, she was pregnant with his child. They also hoped that their daughter could marry him, become a rich woman, and raise their family.

Who knew that the father never showed up until the child was born.

It was not until the child was two years old that they accepted that their plan to have their daughter marry into a wealthy family had failed.

During this period, she gave birth to a child out of wedlock, but the child's father ran away and no longer wanted her.

A series of rumors were secretly circulated. Facing everyone's strange looks, she began to regret and resent her parents and brother for harming her when she was young and knew nothing.

Liu Yan did not dare give birth at home, and rented a house in the county town. The baby was due prematurely, and she was struggling to prepare to go to the hospital, where she met her old classmate Jiang Haiyang.

The other party sent her to the hospital and helped her sign.

Serve her until her parents come.

Afterwards, Jiang Haiyang also showed concern for her.

Even though she knew about her experience and the fact that she had given birth to a child, she still said that she didn't mind and that he liked her as a person.

The two of them began to fall in love secretly.

When talking about marriage, Liu Yan's parents were extremely reluctant and they were already helping Liu Yan look for a partner.

Even if the daughter has given birth to a child, the child is under her brother's name, and no one would know unless she tells him/her about it. So the one chosen is undoubtedly someone with good conditions.

I didn't agree with my daughter finding someone on her own because I thought Jiang Haiyang was too poor.

Liu Yan was determined to marry Jiang Haiyang even at the risk of her life.

Liu Yan's parents finally agreed, but they also said that if the bride price was one cent less than the stipulated amount, he would not be able to marry their daughter.

The Jiang family tried their best and borrowed all they could from relatives before they could raise enough money.

Therefore, the betrothal gift given out is basically like throwing meat buns at a dog, and there is no possibility of taking it back.

After the wedding was over and the money was spent, Grandma Jiang found out that her second daughter-in-law had given birth to a child before she married into her family.

They quarreled, cursed, and refused to take the child in, so Jiang Xue actually had a half-brother who was raised at her grandmother's house.

Grandma Jiang's son and daughter-in-law scolded each other and finally divided the house.

After getting married, they were separated again. There were also foreign debts, and the family was so poor that they could barely make ends meet.

If you look forward to the crops in the ground, you have to wait until the harvest.

It happened that many people went to big cities to work at that time. Jiang's mother was pregnant with Jiang Xue, so Jiang Haiyang set out on the journey south to work alone.

However, without any academic qualifications or skills, the only way to work is to go to a factory run by a fellow villager, and the salary is limited.

This salary is needed to support my pregnant wife and unborn child, as well as to pay off the marriage debt.

In addition, in my father-in-law's family, both my elder and younger brothers-in-law are going to get married and hold wedding ceremonies.

My parents’ family needs money for all weddings and funerals.

As the only daughter of the Liu family, her older brothers’ marriages cannot go on without some kind of statement, and there is also a child to be raised there, so Liu Yan’s parents come to ask for money every few days.

During those years, although Jiang Haiyang worked outside for several years, he did not save much money.

In the past few years, Liu Yan and her mother-in-law lived in the same courtyard. She was not happy about the fact that her mother-in-law had given birth to a child, but the neighbors did not know about it and kept it secret.

Besides having given birth to a child, she was incompetent at work and was also pretentious. So when she saw her daughter-in-law giving money to her parents' home, she used this as an excuse and the two of them quarreled every few days.

When the situation got serious, they even fought, but Jiang's mother was no match for Jiang's grandmother. Grandma Jiang was big and strong, and could do farm work as well as a strong laborer. When she beat Jiang's mother, it was just like beating a child. Jiang's mother was so angry that she wanted to jump into the river with Jiang Xue in her arms, but was stopped by everyone.

She couldn't beat him or scold him, and they lived in the same house and yard, and they knew each other every time they looked up or down. Jiang's mother also wanted to go out to work, and Jiang Xue's existence was the biggest obstacle.

Her sister-in-law, Aunt Jiang, encouraged her a few words: "No matter how much Mom dislikes you, Xiaoxue is still her granddaughter, and she still likes Xiaoxue very much." Jiang's mother also felt that no matter how much her mother-in-law hated her, her daughter was her granddaughter, and it was natural for a grandmother to take care of her grandchildren.

Thinking of this, she suddenly understood. She packed her luggage, left Jiang Xue, who was more than two years old, behind without saying goodbye, and went to find her husband.
