Reborn in the 60s and adopted

"That girl called Sister Hua, does she have high cheekbones? And her mouth is pointy!

"She has very thin cheeks, long and narrow eyes, the kind that look upturned, and thin lips!" Tang Mei asked in great detail.

"I've never seen her face. I've only heard people calling her and hearing her voice." Tang Shu replied.

Tang Mei… was speechless. She was silent for a long time, muttering to herself, “Oh, I was so happy for nothing. I thought I could get some news about that bad woman…”

Tang Mei and Tang Shu were talking when Lin Xiao walked into the ward with a man and a woman in police uniforms.

Seeing this, Tang Mei immediately retreated quietly to the side of another bed and pricked up her ears to eavesdrop on the two policemen's questioning of Tang Shu.

She was so curious and wanted to hear some gossip about Tang Shu, to find out how she became what she is now, and she wanted to know more about Sister Hua.

Therefore, she knew she shouldn't stay here, but she didn't want to leave at all. After all, this kind of opportunity was too rare!

At this moment, the female police officer asked in a particularly gentle and soft tone:

: "Comrade, can you tell us why you had such a dangerous idea as jumping off the building today?"

At the same time, another male policeman silently picked up the notebook and began to take notes seriously.

"Comrades police officers! I'm not trying to commit suicide by jumping off the building today. I'm trying to save myself!"

As soon as Tang Shu finished speaking, she quickly turned her head and looked at Tang Mei. Even a fool could see from the look in her eyes that she was hinting at Tang Mei to come forward and testify for her.

However, Tang Mei did not respond to Tang Shu's gaze. She moved her eyes away from Tang Shu and turned to the window, acting as if it had nothing to do with her, as if to say that this matter had nothing to do with her and let Tang Shu solve it himself.

The female police officer keenly captured the subtle eye contact and expression changes between the two people. During the visit, she learned that Tang Mei was just an ordinary person who was eager to help others.

So the female police officer continued to ask: "You said you were saving yourself, then why did you jump from the fourth floor even though so many people advised you not to?"

The female police officer arrived only ten minutes later than Liu Yan and his team. After meeting them, they decided to act separately.

The policewoman and her colleagues first visited some people who were watching the excitement nearby before coming over.

"There was no rope in the room, so I used the quilt covers and sheets to make a rope, and climbed out of the fourth-floor window. However, the rope was not long enough and only reached the second floor. I gritted my teeth and jumped down." After Tang Shu finished speaking, he was scared. He was so lucky today.

After hearing what Tang Shu said, the female police officer frowned and asked, "Why did you jump out of the window? It's too dangerous!"

Tang Shu hesitated. She wanted to lift her clothes to show the police, but she saw two gay men there.

Even though she was no longer a little girl, she was still a little embarrassed, so she pleaded, "Comrade police, can you please let those two men go out for a while?"

When Lin Xiao heard Tang Shu's request, he looked in Tang Mei's direction and asked with his eyes: "Is it okay for you to be here alone?"

Tang Mei nodded to indicate that she had no problem.

After Lin Xiao received a positive answer, he looked at the man and walked out of the room.

Tang Shu saw the two men leave before he lifted up his clothes. He saw that his fair skin was covered with blue and purple scars. Some places even had burns similar to cigarette butts, which had not yet completely healed and formed scars.

What was even more terrifying was Tang Shu's hands lifting up his clothes. Tang Mei had not noticed it before, but she couldn't help but gasp when she saw it.

Good man, I don't know what kind of perverted person did this.

Her nails were covered with marks from being punctured by some hard objects, leaving behind bloody, bumpy holes.

"Hiss~, have you been lynched?" The female police officer was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. There were too many wounds on this woman's body, it was beyond imagination!

"Wow, wow~~~~" When Tang Shu heard someone say that she was bullied, the grievance and pain in her heart were like a flood that broke through the dam. She could no longer control it and burst into tears.

Over the past few months, she has been suffering from both physical and mental torture and has never received any care or comfort.

Now someone finally noticed her situation, which made her feel so warm and touched.

The female police officer waited for Tang Shu to cry for a while, and then she calmed down before continuing to ask: "Comrade, are you feeling better now? If possible, can you tell me in detail what happened?"

Tang Shu stopped crying, nodded, took a deep breath, adjusted his mood and continued: "Three days ago, I was sold out by my boyfriend! I followed him for several months, but I never thought that he was the kind of man who only knows how to sweet-talk and has a vicious heart!"

Speaking of this, Tang Shu's eyes were filled with pain and disappointment.

She paused, as if recalling the past.

Then she raised her head, looked at the policewoman with an almost pleading look, and asked softly: "If you have time, would you like to listen to my story?"

Tang Shu looked pitiful, like a child longing for attention and to be listened to.

She really hoped that someone could listen to her experiences over the years, even if it was the debt collector sister she once hated. It would be better than keeping all her worries in her heart.

When Tang Mei heard that there was a story to be told, she immediately pulled over a stool next to her excitedly and sat down with her eyes wide open and full of anticipation, as if to tell Tang Shu: "I'm ready, tell it now!"

Seeing Tang Mei being so enthusiastic, the female police officer couldn't help but shake her head helplessly... She actually wanted to listen to Tang Shu's story, but there was no need to be so anxious.

Regardless of Tang Mei's gossipy look, her most important task now is to appease the woman in front of her and obtain more useful information from her.

"My life has been hard since my sister was adopted by someone else.

I have to worry about all the big and small things at home and outside. If I don't do what my mother wants, she will scold me as a stupid girl. "At this point, she glanced at Tang Mei. Wasn't she the one who was scolded before?

Then she continued her story...

After Tang Mei was adopted into Tang Yongli's family, Li Shuzhen and Tang Shu both felt that the family was much more pleasing to the eye, and the relationship between mother and daughter became better and better.

Although I still have to go to work every day, I am so happy to be able to drink the delicious broth cooked by Li Shuzhen when I get home from work!

What’s even more exciting is that you no longer have to hide from others and eat secretly in the kitchen. You can enjoy delicious food openly!

However, happy times are always short-lived.

One morning three years later, Tang Shu got up early and made a hearty breakfast, especially Li Shuzhen's favorite cold-mixed Houttuynia cordata.

Unexpectedly, when Li Shuzhen smelled the odor, she suddenly felt nauseous, ran to the water tank, and vomited violently.

Seeing this, Tang Shu was extremely anxious and hurried forward to ask with concern: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Before she finished her words, there was a crisp "slap" sound, and Tang Shu was slapped hard on the face. She was so shocked that she stood there in a daze.

Li Shuzhen was furious, staring at Tang Shu fiercely, and angrily said, "You damn girl, you can't even cook a meal properly, and you made me vomit like this! Tell me, did you put something unclean in the food?"

Tang Shu felt very aggrieved, tears welled up in her eyes. She defended herself, "I...I didn't, Mom. I washed everything very cleanly."

Tang Shu felt very confused and aggrieved at this time. She clearly cooked her mother's favorite dish, but she couldn't understand why her mother was so angry and even hit her.
