Rebirth: You Save Me with Your Deep Love

My name is Xiao Yumei. I was born in a poor and backward mountain village in the south, where transportation was poor and thinking was outdated.

Being looked down upon is the fate that almost all girls here cannot escape. Names with profound meanings such as Zhaodi and Paner are the first gifts given to them by their parents after they are born.

Carrying heavy shackles and stumbling forward is the fate of all the women here.

Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog; marry a bench, carry it on your back - this widely circulated folk saying is not a literary exaggeration.

The third wife from the neighboring village lost her husband to alcoholism on the third day after their marriage. Since then, the word "chastity" has become the only thing she insists on in her life.

I wonder if she would feel infinite sadness in her heart when she held the chastity arch that was praised by everyone with gorgeous words in the dead of night?

There is also my cousin's thin daughter-in-law, who is nicknamed "the skinny one". She is a good hand both inside and outside the house and is well-known in the surrounding area.

However, her husband, who was addicted to gambling and would beat her whenever he disagreed with her, never felt sorry for her, let alone pity her.

But... although these absurd things happen to me every day, they have never affected me.

I am a rare lucky person in this poor and backward mountain village!

I am my parents' first child, but the first gift they gave me was "Xiao Yumei", not Zhaodi or Nian Di.

My father went to school for a few years in his early years and also worked outside for a while. The impact of outside ideas made him open-minded and humble, and he would not show his masculinity on women and children.

My mother...was no different from other mothers at first, but her greatest strength was that she listened to advice.

She liked her father and was willing to listen to him.

I used to be extremely happy!

When girls of my age could only wear their older brothers and sisters' hand-me-down clothes, I was already wearing flowery dresses that I had only seen on TV.

When other girls followed adults to work in the fields, my father sent me to the village school to learn reading and arithmetic.

While other girls were afraid of their parents’ quarrels, my parents rarely quarreled, and my father never hit my mother...

Later, I had a younger brother!

When my younger brother was born, many people said that my parents didn’t love me anymore and that they would love my younger brother more. I was sad for a long time because of this.

But they were all wrong. Mom and Dad did love my brother, but they also loved me.

My younger brother is very cute and I love him too!

I thought I would always be this happy, but God didn't let me do that.

When I was nine years old, I fell into the water because of playing, and my father drowned while trying to save me...

I no longer have a father. My support and the pillar of my family - are gone!

"Unlucky star..."

"My father was killed..."

"Disaster, get out..."

These unpleasant words were pinned on my head by the villagers, but I... didn't think they were wrong.

I am indeed a disaster. I killed my father!

My mother went crazy about this. She was always gentle, but for the first time she hit me, scolded me, and used all kinds of vicious words to curse me.

However, when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she hugged me and my brother and cried inconsolably.

She choked up and swore in front of my father's spirit tablet that she would raise my brother and me, send us to school, and help us succeed in life.

But she underestimated the evil of human nature and the difficulty of survival for a woman with two small children.

In this small mountain village where the people are simple and honest but all kinds of dirty things are happening behind the scenes, a young widow with two half-grown children has a hard time making ends meet.

Even though she has tried very hard, even though I have been working very hard!

When I was twelve years old, my younger brother reached school age. My mother's back was no longer straight and her face was full of wrinkles. The hard days accelerated her aging.

I took the initiative to drop out of school, go home to help my mother with farm work, and share the hardships of life. After hearing my decision, my mother did not object, but turned her back and her eyes were red.

I don't feel wronged for dropping out of school.

I was a person who deserved to die, I was guilty. My mother still gritted her teeth and let me finish primary school, which was a great blessing for me.

After working on the farm for two years, I started working outside, serving dishes, washing dishes, and mopping the floor. I would do anything as long as I was paid.

Later on, I was grateful countless times that in those small places, the judicial management was not so strict, and there were people willing to employ child laborers even those aged fourteen or fifteen.

Later, when I was eighteen years old, I followed others to work in a factory and earned thousands of yuan a month.

At that time, I naively thought that good days were finally coming, I could make money, and I could take care of my mother and my younger brother.

However, it seemed like God played a big joke on me. The good days passed in a flash, and I haven't even come to my senses yet.

When I learned that my younger brother was diagnosed with leukemia, my world collapsed again; at the same time, my mother also suffered from lumbar disc herniation due to overwork and could no longer work.

I worked harder and harder, and I wished I could sell all my flesh, blood, skin and bones for money.

I'm so tired. I seem to be unable to bear the consequences of the troubles I caused when I was young.

Sleepiness came over me, and as I was about to wake up, I thought, I might as well just sleep like this!

Although running away is a cowardly act, no one has stipulated that you cannot be a coward, and I have never thought of being a hero.

When I woke up again, I was in a completely unfamiliar place.

After the initial fear, I saw a man who looked even more handsome and elegant than a star. He was like a king high above, with a strong aura and full of charm.

He told me that his lover was sick and he wanted to use my heart to save his lover.

He said it was a deal, but I saw a hint of coercion in his eyes.

There is no doubt that I have no right to refuse this deal!

And I didn't think of refusing.

To be honest, after hearing the news, my first reaction was not fear, but curiosity and envy.

What kind of unique and romantic person could make this king-like man in front of me work so hard for him and even break the law to capture me?

However, the "king" told me that he was the happiest person.

***

The lives of poor people are worthless. This is something I realized a long time ago.

But I never expected that my heart would be so valuable.

Not only did it solve my immediate problem, but it also gave my mother and brother a prosperous and brilliant future.

I was tempted...or rather, I really wanted the money!

When I asked for 5 million in cash, the man didn't even blink an eye and had someone bring several large boxes.

When I saw the red hundred-dollar bills, I was so excited that I wanted to stuff all the money into my pocket.

Yumei is noble, but Xiao Yumei is just a vulgar person who loves money.

Yumei is noble, but Xiao Yumei is just a vulgar person who loves money.

The hardships of life have long worn away my daughter's spirit, making me smell like money from the inside out, and I can only see "money" in my eyes.
