Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

Chapter 2: In the Mist 1

The woman in front of the young man who was speaking looked to be only about thirty-six or thirty-seven years old. Compared with Zhou Xinyue's actual age, she felt that she should be not much older than that woman.

Zhou Xinyue herself is also considered an older single woman. She had been in a relationship for 10 years before she became ill. She originally planned to get married after graduating from college, but her boyfriend refused to get married too early on the grounds that his financial conditions were limited and he could not give her a good life.

At that time, I thought it made sense. It is indeed not a good idea to get married too early without a certain economic foundation. It is okay for two young people, but if they get married and have children, how can Zhou Xinyue raise the children if she feels that she cannot support herself?

His considerations were indeed mature at the time. Zhou Xinyue's parents also felt that it was too early to talk about marriage, and they hoped that they would work for a few years before discussing marriage. Zhou Xinyue's boyfriend's parents had the same idea, so after graduation, they began looking for jobs while dating.

As time went by, Zhou Xinyue's boyfriend's job stabilized unknowingly. However, Zhou Xinyue herself was not as successful in the workplace as her boyfriend.

After going around in circles without any clear answer, Zhou Xinyue just hopes to get married to her boyfriend as soon as possible and live a stable and happy life.

After working for a few years, Zhou Xinyue proposed marriage countless times. Her boyfriend initially refused, saying the timing was not right, then refused because his job was unstable, then refused again because he was too busy, and finally avoided making a statement.

Zhou Xinyue just waited for him foolishly, waiting for him to have a stable job, waiting for him to save enough money, waiting for him to propose engagement, waiting for him to buy a diamond ring and kneel down to propose to Zhou Xinyue. She waited and waited like this, and before she knew it, she got older.

Zhou Xinyue's parents began to worry, thinking that they were old enough to get married, so why hadn't they gotten married yet? In order to comfort her parents, Zhou Xinyue always helped her boyfriend to fool around, saying that her boyfriend's job was unstable and that he would come back to propose marriage after saving enough money in two years.

But the closer he got to 30, the boyfriend still didn't mention it. His parents became anxious and started to urge him. In the first few years, Zhou Xinyue helped him lie to his parents, but Zhou Xinyue herself began to panic, thinking that it had been so many years and it was not a big deal for him to not mention it for so long.

Zhou Xinyue's boyfriend continued to make excuses for various reasons until she suddenly fainted at work and woke up in the hospital, only then did she realize that she had a tumor in her brain.

The boyfriend was gentle and caring at first, but gradually he accompanied Zhou Xinyue to the hospital less and less often, and finally stopped answering her phone calls until he confessed that he had already fallen in love with someone else.

He had long lost feelings for Zhou Xinyue, and had thought that if he didn't bring up the subject of marriage Zhou Xinyue would be unable to bear it and leave. He hadn't expected that Zhou Xinyue could hold on for so long.

He didn't expect Zhou Xinyue to get sick. He felt guilty taking care of her for a while, but as time went on, he felt that there was no need to delay it any longer as it would not be good for anyone.

Zhou Xinyue’s boyfriend also feels that he is 30 years old and should get married and have children. His family is urging him to do so, and his parents are looking forward to having a grandchild soon.

Zhou Xinyue's boyfriend gradually felt that Zhou Xinyue was too old, and with this illness, it was impossible for her to continue the family line for their family. So when he proposed to break up, Zhou Xinyue agreed with tears in her eyes.

Zhou Xinyue felt that only her parents cared about her. She couldn't help but scold him in her heart, saying that he was not a human being and hated his deception and delay.

On the second day after the breakup, Zhou Xinyue received a photo of his engagement sent by a friend. Seeing his rosy face and toasting lovingly with his fiancée, Zhou Xinyue's heart seemed to be broken.

The friend originally didn't want to send the photos to Zhou Xinyue, but Zhou Xinyue insisted that he send them because she wanted to see what the woman he liked looked like.

Zhou Xinyue felt relieved after seeing this. She had been undergoing treatment for a long time and was already over 30 years old.

When Zhou Xinyue looked at the young man in front of her, she seemed to see her younger self, brimming with youthful energy.

When Zhou Xinyue came back to her senses, she noticed that the room was filled with quarrels and tension.

The woman was seen trying to rush over with a feather duster, but the boy in front of her refused to let her come over. Seeing this, the woman became very angry, and started hitting the boy with the feather duster, hitting him again and again.

The young man blocked a few times, then stopped, shouting, "Hit me, hit me, hit me as much as you want, even if you want to kill me, as long as you can spare Sister Dan, then go ahead!"

The woman, with a face full of anger and anxiety, shouted: "You rebellious son, I will beat you to death, beat you to death, beat you to death..."

The young man didn't know how many times he was hit, but he just accepted it without any avoidance or complaint. This scene made Zhou Xinyue confused.

Zhou Xinyue thought to herself: What, what, what is going on? Am I not having surgery? Why am I here? Why am I not wearing any clothes? Who are they? Who is this girl next to me? Why are their clothes so weird? They are all wearing ancient costumes. Are they filming a TV series?

What's going on with these two people? Why is that woman so hysterical? Could it be...

Zhou Xinyue looked down at her naked appearance, then looked at the boy. She thought that even a fool could see what happened. Did she and the boy do something that shouldn't have happened? That woman was so angry. I, I actually did this with a boy... Oh my God, oh my God! I, I actually did this. Judging from the woman's reaction, she must be here to arrest me.

But Zhou Xinyue thought, shouldn't she be in the operating room of the hospital at this moment? How could she be here? And she appeared in this scene inexplicably, isn't this funny?

Zhou Xinyue was just lost in thought when she was interrupted by the shouting of the woman in front of her. She said angrily, "You unworthy and rebellious son, I will beat you to death, I will beat you to death. You clearly knew that she would be offering sacrifices to the ancestors of our family next month and be included in the family tree. You unworthy and stinky boy, look at what you have done. My God, she will soon become your nominal sister, and you actually did such a shameful thing. How can I face the mistress, son?"

"Since my son has done this, I admit it. Auntie, you can beat me to death. When my father and mother come back, I will report it to them."

The woman said with her eyes wide open: "You, you don't want a future? You don't want your life? How could I give birth to such a useless thing like you? Instead of letting your father beat you to death, I might as well beat this useless thing to death now."

After saying that, the woman picked up the feather duster in her hand and hit the boy hard, cursing as she hit him: "I will beat you to death, beat you to death, you really piss me off, you rebellious son, rebellious son..."

I don't know how long the fight lasted, but the boy in front of me gradually had red scars on his body. Judging from the strength of the fight, the mother was really angry and was serious about it.

"Aunt, aunt, please move aside. Aunt, Aunt Zhang, please move aside. If I don't go in, my brother will be beaten to death. Please move aside." I heard the voice of a young girl outside the door, as if she was going to rush in to stop it, and she was shouting desperately outside.

At the door, an old lady's voice said, "Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss, you can't go in. You can't see or hear what's going on inside. You're still an innocent young lady. You can't see or hear anything."

The woman in the room was breathing heavily at this time, with her hands on her hips, and she yelled, "What are you arguing about? Do you want everyone in the inner and outer courtyards to know about this?"
