I used rebirth to bury his captivating gaze.

Chapter 3 The Woman Who Borrowed Cornmeal

"What did you say? I was jilted? We were engaged for six months. The Zou family was preparing to get married after the harvest and threshing of the grain in the brigade was completed."

"Really?" Yu Han asked in a strange tone, feigning ignorance.

"Why isn't it real?"

"You mean you don't believe what I just told you?"

"Is your dizziness a lingering effect? ​​Are you experiencing vertigo? Perhaps you should see a doctor tomorrow."

"Don't be dizzy, why see a doctor? Can Grandma afford to pay for a doctor's visit? I'm telling you the truth, if you don't listen to me and insist on harvesting corn with that man, you'll definitely be jilted. If you don't believe me, just try it."

"I really need to get you a doctor to check your head tomorrow. You've been acting strangely ever since you woke up from your illness."

"Third sister, I'm doing this for your own good!"

"Alright, go to sleep. We still have to harvest corn when it's light."

After Yuqiu finished speaking, she pulled up the floral quilt, buried her head in it, and went to sleep.

Third Sister also had reason not to believe her, since she couldn't produce any evidence to explain what was going to happen.

If a person could know their own future, they would be a god!

In her past life, the little girl secretly fell in love with a classmate from middle school. She was captivated by the handsome boy's mesmerizing gaze. Later, somehow, she became the girl he had a crush on!

Even years later, his blurry blue color still haunted her dreams.

She wanted to forget him, the man who haunted her dreams, but the more she tried to forget, the more she couldn't. His image was firmly sealed in the young girl's soul!

The pain of unrequited love she endured in her past life was something no one could understand.

She was truly grateful to be reborn in the original body this time, thanking God for giving her this opportunity to be reborn and to get to know people again!

She started a new life. In her previous life, she hadn't had a chance to find him and get some answers before she passed away unexpectedly.

She was resuscitating an elderly pregnant woman at the hospital when she lost her mind and fell to her death while going down the stairs.

After being reborn, she is determined to take revenge!

So her soul guided her, and she used her new life to save herself and the good people she met throughout their lives!

She wanted to save the original owner's third sister so that that man would no longer persecute her marriage.

Yang Yuqiu considered herself lucky; it just so happened that on that terrifying, gloomy rainy night, the female protagonist was reborn.

A few days ago, the original owner rode a bicycle and, with the help of tools from her family's carpentry workshop, made a small wooden cutting board that she had made herself, and went to other villages to sell it by calling out her wares.

On her way home from selling goods, she happened to see a little yellow horse galloping up from behind. Caught off guard, the horse's front hooves suddenly landed on her shoulders, and she fell to her death.

Her original self died before her parents, a tragic loss for them. In her previous life, her parents loved her dearly. She died at the age of 37, never having had a boyfriend, let alone marry or have children.

After she died, she didn't know if her parents were still alive. She also didn't know if her parents from her previous life were still alive and in good health.

She made up her mind that after her rebirth, she would definitely find her biological parents from her previous life. Even if the worst news was that her parents had passed away, she would still find their graves!

She drifted off to sleep while lost in thought.

"You worthless, withered flower, go to hell! You've disgraced the Yang family's reputation and honor!" Grandma scolded.

"Grandma, you're right. Let her be shameless and forget about it. Let Dazhi and Yumei from our family find partners, get married, and have children." Auntie San flattered the old lady with her domineering middle-aged face.

“Hey! As her elder, you should say less. Did she want this? She's a victim too.”

"As your third uncle, you're quite the good cop, making me look bad. Living with you, I'm always the one who has to play the bad cop and offend people when something happens, while you're so good at pleasing both sides. I'm the one who's caught in the middle. Didn't you know beforehand that the guy who partnered with you to harvest corn had designs on her?"

Seeing the two filthy pieces of the cloth belt, Auntie San added, "It's disgusting. Look at those two pieces of cloth belt that the man tore to shreds. How could she have the nerve to bring them home? Did she walk home holding up her pants?"

"Waaah..." The big girl turned her face to the south window, covered her head with the quilt, and cried loudly.

"Third Aunt, how can you talk such nonsense? No matter how bad Third Sister is, she's still our own sister-in-law. If you spread this around, it'll be a small matter if people gossip, but won't the Zou family come to annul the engagement?"

"Second sister-in-law, you're so kind. I'm talking nonsense. Of course she's your daughter. You don't mind, but we can't stand it. She's probably pregnant with that man's child. Hurry up and get her married and leave, so she doesn't give birth to an illegitimate child in her parents' home, which is considered unlucky."

"Smack!" Two big slaps landed squarely on Lang Fengying's face.

"Yang Zhanxi, if you dare hit me, I'll make you a cuckold."

"Smack!" Two more slaps landed on her face, followed by two hard kicks until she fell to the ground.

"Fuck your mother! I'm determined to divorce you. I'm going back to my parents' house right now to get reinforcements to deal with you, you big oaf."

"Get out! Get out of here right now! Get as far away as you can!"

"You son of a bitch, you two are fighting and you're even cursing your mother, Third Brother. Didn't she say she wanted a divorce? You better break up with her right now, and I'll find you a virgin to be your wife."

"Waaaah! Mom, I won't divorce him. Even if he beats me to death, I won't divorce him. I can't live without Lao San. I really can't live without him. Mom, I didn't scold you."

"What a mess! We don't even know what to do about the important matters, and you're already fighting amongst yourselves."

“Send him to jail so he can be reborn as a good person in the underworld.”

"How can that be? How will your third aunt live? Are you going to let her die without an heir? She only has one son to take care of her in her old age and see her off in death. It would be a disgrace if word got out." Yang Wei said angrily, taking a deep drag on his long pipe.

"If this won't work, and that won't work, I might as well just accept my bad luck."

“Let’s go. If we think all the men in the Yang family are incompetent, let’s raid their house.”

Then, the brothers grabbed their adzes, planes, axes, and saws and stormed out of the house.

In no time, it was a sea of ​​blood!

"Woo!"

Yang Yuhan was startled awake from her dream, covered in a cold sweat. She sat up abruptly in fright, glancing at her third sister to make sure she hadn't been woken.

Why do Yang Yuqiu's past life events keep appearing in her dreams? No, she can't let her past life's troubles disturb her sweet dreams in this life. Whoever affects her happiness, she'll make sure that person never has a moment's peace!

Your life is your own, so of course you should love yourself the most! Your rebirth is hard-won, so why let others interfere!

As for doing something for others, that's another matter!

"Third sister, wake up, don't sleep. I have something I need to tell you. You can't keep things to yourself, it makes me very uncomfortable, especially since it's your mess!" she said, lifting the floral quilt covering Yuqiu's head.

"What? You can't even let me sleep in peace. You said a whole bunch of things, but I didn't understand a word of it," Yu Qiu said slowly, her phoenix eyes half-closed.

"Get up quickly and listen to me. I have to tell you something important that's going to happen to you. Your troubles are affecting my sleep, and I keep having nightmares."

"We'll talk about dreams when it's light. You haven't been sleeping, what kind of dreams could you possibly have?" Yang Yuqiu said, then covered her head with her hand and fell fast asleep again.

"Let's see if you can hide until tomorrow." Yu Han glared at her fiercely and then went to sleep.

As dawn broke and the sky began to lighten, the neighbor's rooster crowed from the edge of the roof, "Cock-a-doodle-doo..."

Slow smoke rose from the chimney of the kitchen on the west side of the courtyard, covered by a thatched roof. I wondered which of the sisters-in-law's rooms was cooking this week? The aroma of cornbread and soybean soup wafted from the west kitchen into the south wing.

In her previous life, as a young person from the future, she had never tasted cornbread from this era. It smelled quite sweet and tasted completely different from the genetically modified cornbread of later generations, which was often contaminated with excessive pesticides.

At the dinner table, she noticed that what she considered delicious cornbread and a bowl of watery bean sprout soup were not particularly appealing to anyone in the family.

Only her own mother, Liu Shulan, was eating the big pot of flatbread, soybean sprouts, and bean soup that she had prepared today, without changing her expression.

Yang Yuhan ate with relish, while looking at the original owner's mother's head and thinking. This original owner's mother was not like her mother in her previous life, who was cultured, high-class and sophisticated. She looked like a simple, hardworking and good mother.

Her parents from her past life are nowhere to be found, but she will treat this mother as her own. In the future, she will definitely live a saintly life, with plenty of good food and drink to enjoy the rest of her life.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps coming out of the door, the footsteps growing louder and louder.

Suddenly, with a loud "bang!", the kitchen door was pushed open.

The family of more than a dozen people were eating breakfast when, in a moment of reflex, they all turned their heads, their eyes fixed on the person at the door.

"Why did Third Aunt come so early!" Dazhi said.

"Hey! You're eating right now? I really did come at the worst possible time. Um, Mom and Dad, I have something to tell you?"

Yang Yuhan put down her chopsticks, left the table, and hid to the side. Looking at the middle-aged woman in front of her, she wondered why she looked like the same person.

"Alright, Auntie, stop being so mysterious. Just say what you have to say."

“Dad, we’re starving. I’m thinking of borrowing some cornmeal to cook for the kids. Also, Xiaofeng isn’t getting enough to eat and won’t have the strength to work when he goes to the production team to collect corn tomorrow.”

"You're still hesitant about borrowing cornmeal. Are Xiaofeng and Yuqiu in cahoots when you go to the production team to collect corn tomorrow?"

"Yes, Xiaofeng went to the brigade and told me when he got home that he and his third niece, Yuqiu, were harvesting corn in the field west of the village."

After Yang Chunyue finished speaking, she glanced at Yu Qiu, who was smiling and eating a cornbread.

“My third aunt keeps borrowing our cornmeal. The two basins of corn grits you borrowed last time have been gone for more than ten days and you still haven’t returned them. Why are you borrowing them again?”

"Dazhi, how can you talk to your third aunt like that? You can't bear to see them go hungry. Third aunt, I'm going to get some cornmeal for the storeroom. Did you get a basin?"

"It's alright, Second Brother. Children just say the darndest things. I forgot to bring the basin; I was in such a hurry that I forgot. Hehe!"

"You borrowed grain but forgot your bowl; you clearly came here to eat flatbread. Humph!"

"If you forget, just use our iron basin for now, and we'll bring it over when you're done."

The old lady glared at the old man, then continued eating, pretending not to see her poor daughter had come to the house.

She glanced at the old woman who was ignoring her, then turned around and said, "Yes, Dad, once the brigade distributes the corn kernels and grinds them into flour, send it over in the basin along with the whole thing, ha!"

"When your third aunt comes to return the cornmeal next time, don't forget to return the corn grits from the previous two times as well."

"Hmm, Dazhi has a really good memory."

"Third Aunt, please don't take it to heart by Xiao Zhi's age."

"I'm not a child anymore, I'm a man who's about to get married."

"You're so young, why do you need to get married? Study hard, get into university, and then work in the city with a secure job."

"Any job can make a living, but I love carpentry. I learned carpentry from my second uncle, and by then my wife is much older than me. Haha!"

"Wow! This child is so young but knows everything."

"Tsk tsk, shameless, so embarrassing." Yu Han couldn't help but laugh as she stood at the door.

"Oh my! When did Yuhan wake up? Your second sister-in-law has cried so many times since you got sick. You're even more beautiful than before. Girls really do change a lot as they grow up."

"Hmm, Auntie, how have you been lately? Go back and tell Xiaofeng to be careful these days." Yu Han rolled her eyes at her.

"Yu Han, what are you saying? Doesn't your aunt understand?"

Seeing that everyone was staring at her blankly, Yu Han quickly changed the subject.

"It's alright, it's alright. I just meant that my third cousin should eat more cornbread so he'll have the strength to work when he goes to the production team to harvest corn tomorrow, and he'll be able to take the beating."

"This girl has woken up from her illness, and she's talking strangely?"

"Alright, Second Brother, you eat first. Have Yuhan go to the west warehouse to get me some cornmeal."

"Hmph! You dare to eat the cornmeal I gave you? Aren't you afraid of getting a stomachache?"
