Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

Thinking about her happy days in the past and her current life, Sun Ying felt even more sorrowful. At the same time, she was filled with hatred. It was as if the entire world had let her down and made her suffer.

”Mom, I hate you so much… Why aren’t you by my side? Why did you send yourself to prison? Mom, if you were by my side, I wouldn’t be living so hard. I wouldn’t be so tired…

”Mom, I hate her so much. I hate that bitch Ye Jian so much. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have fallen into this state. Our home is still here. I want to go back to being the enviable Ye Ying, not the Sun Ying who doesn’t even dare to go home now.

”… Why didn’t you kill Ye Jian back then? If you had killed her back then, nothing would’ve happened today. Our family would still be living happily. We would still be envied. Mom, why didn’t you kill her back then…”

Sun Ying, who had her forehead pressed against the back of her hand, started sobbing softly. Before senior high, Sun Ying was so happy. She didn’t suffer any setbacks. After senior high, Sun Ying was filled with bad luck. She couldn’t get what she wanted no matter what she did. Thinking about the past and the present, Sun Ying became sadder and found it harder to accept the reality of things.

For a moment, she couldn’t help but cry.

There were many houses in the village, but Sun Ying’s family home was located at the entrance to the village. The villagers were not far away from one another. Sun Ying lay alone at the entrance of her house and cried. Her neighbor, Aunt Yu, who was cooking dinner in the kitchen, heard her. She pricked up her ears and listened. It was a woman crying.

It was sometimes high and sometimes low, but she couldn’t hear it clearly. This frightened Aunt Yu so much that her heart pounded. She whispered to her husband, who was manning near the stove, ”Do you hear that? Someone is crying outside our house. It’s a woman.”

Aunt Yu’s husband’s surname was Zhang. He was cousins with the village leader, Zhang Defu. When his wife said that, he quickly pricked up his ears. After listening for a while, his expression changed. There was really a woman crying outside!

The villagers had always been superstitious. When they heard a woman crying at night, they couldn’t help but feel goosebumps. A layer of cold sweat appeared on their backs.

Aunt Yu listened again. She seemed to have thought of something and whispered, ”It’s coming from the house next door. Is Sun Dongqing back? Or is Ye Ying back?”

The villagers were still used to calling her Ye Ying.

”Don’t bother yourself with who’s back. Let her cry. Hurry up and cook. If we eat so late every day, our grandchildren will starve with us! When our son and the rest come back from Guangdong Province tomorrow, they’ll see that our grandchildren have lost weight!”

”Are you really not going to take a look?”

”No!”

Hearing this, Aunt Yu threw away the spatula in her hand and wiped her hands on her scarf. She picked up a pair of tongs from the stove and gritted her teeth. ”I want to take a look. If not, I won’t be able to sleep well tonight!”

After Aunt Yu finished speaking, she rushed out of the kitchen with the tongs. When she opened the courtyard door and came out, she stood at the door and looked forward. She saw a figure rushing toward the entrance to a village. That person ran quickly as if she was afraid of being discovered.

Hearing the commotion next door, Sun Ying didn’t dare to cry anymore. She didn’t even wipe her tears and ran away in a panic.

”Who’s there? Stop!” When Aunt Yu saw this, she wasn’t afraid anymore. She shouted and ran too. ”Stop! Stop!”

Sun Ying had already recognized the voice of the famous gossipy Aunt Yu in the village. She couldn’t stay any longer and ran even faster.
