Chapter 53 "Half Life"

Gu Zhenzhen's heart thumped, run!

Not caring about anything else at the moment, she pulled out a red suitcase, stuffed some clothes in it, took the key to open the drawer, found out all the money and jewelry that Manlu had saved, and took her identity proof, then picked up the suitcase and went out .At this time, Manzhen was upstairs, and the old lady and mother Gu went out to chase Weimin. There were only three children left in the house, and even though they watched her leave the house, they did not dare to shout.

It's a pity that Gu Zhenzhen was unlucky, as soon as she went out, she saw Gu's mother turn back and was just blocked.

"Man Lu, what are you, what are you doing?" Gu's mother saw her intentions, and it was precisely when she understood that she became even more panicked.

Gu's mother is a virtuous and filial daughter-in-law in the eyes of outsiders. She is a gentle and loving mother, and she is also diligent. She is busy from morning till night, serving the elderly and taking care of the young. The only thing that makes her uncomfortable is that the whole family depends on the elders. The daughter is raised as a dancer.She also knew that it was hard for her eldest daughter, but she also felt that there was no way for the family to eat, dress, and go to school. Without a pillar, the family must be supported by someone. Bitter, it happens to be the elder sister.Facing Man Lu, Gu's mother was guilty and flattering. She kept her guilt on her lips, but she didn't want to face up to her daughter's situation, which was a bit of self-deception.

Of course, not only Gu's mother, but also Mrs. Gu.

Analyzing it in depth, if Manzhen hadn't been working now and could make money, Mother Gu wouldn't have mentioned Manlu getting married.Even so, Gu's mother and Mrs. Gu still put the Gu family's livelihood on Man Lu, and it was agreed that Zhu Hongcai would bear it.Manzhen disagreed with this, because Gu Zhenzhen had occupied her body before, and she had no chance to express her opinion on it.

Gu's mother didn't dare to let other people in the alley see her scandal, so she dragged Gu Zhenzhen's box into the yard, saying, "Man Lu, if you are dissatisfied, just say it, why are you making a fuss all of a sudden?" Don’t marry anymore? Did you quarrel with Zhu Hongcai? If you want me to tell you, you should change your temper, don’t get angry with him every now and then, he’s willing to coax you now, if you keep doing this, he’ll get bored..."

"You let go!" Gu Zhenzhen didn't make a sound at the beginning because of a guilty conscience of being caught, but now she saw her nagging and persuading her, and she became angry, pointing at Gu's mother and scolding: "If you do this, mother!" Am I your own daughter? Then you don’t know who Zhu Hongcai is? Why do you have the heart to let me marry? Oh, I know, I’m not innocent after being a dancing girl. You look down on me and think I’m just You deserve to marry someone like that, don't you?"

This accusation made Gu's mother feel wronged to death: "Man Lu, what are you talking about, you are my own daughter, how can you not feel pain. I am not in charge of this marriage, it is your own choice... ..."

"Yes! I chose it, but can't I go back on it?" Gu Zhenzhen became more and more aggrieved as she thought about it, and said, "I have never seen such a family, how old are you as a mother? You are only 42 this year, right? Seven years ago, you were only 35 and young. Even if my father is gone, you should take care of this family. Why don’t you go out to work and make money, but push your own daughter to become a dancer to make money! This is what you do as a mother I divorced, betrayed my youth, and struggled to raise this family for seven years, but look, I finally raised a group of white-eyed wolves! No one understands my heartache, but despises me. I was only seventeen years ago , if I ignore you ruthlessly and marry into the Zhang family, will you starve to death? I won’t talk about it before, but now that my siblings are grown up, I don’t bother to care about it anymore. I should take care of myself. In the future I don’t care about the food and drink expenses of this family, earn money if you have the ability, don’t eat if you don’t have money, don’t go to school, anyway, after studying for so many years, you are still a fool!”

When Gu Zhenzhen possessed Manzhen before, she resented Manlu's viciousness very much, but now she possessed Manlu, but felt that Manlu was very pitiful.

Gu's mother was so accused that she burst into tears, and she almost collapsed on the ground.

Gu Zhenzhen's voice was not low, Manzhen upstairs could hear these words clearly, similarly, Man Lu could also hear them very clearly.Although I don't like Gu Zhenzhen, it is undeniable that Gu Zhenzhen's words express the hearts of the two sisters.

When his father passed away, the youngest sister was still breastfeeding, Jiemin was still a toddler, and there was an old lady Gu who was hit by the loss of her son. Gu's mother was so busy that she couldn't get away from her.That year, Manlu was seventeen, seeing this situation, she had to take care of the family, but how easy is it to be a dancer?In the first two years, she didn't know how much humiliation she suffered. She also thought that if her mother came out to work, she would be able to find another job. With sharing, it would be okay if she earned less alone. She could take care of her young siblings, but ...

At that time, she also wanted to be strong, thinking, since she was already like this, she must not let her younger siblings suffer like this, especially her second sister Manzhen, who was three years younger, was determined not to let her follow her old path.

In her previous life, she had loved, loved, and hated this family, but it was her own family after all.For her second sister, she has cherished, envied, hated, regretted and felt guilty... Finally, she found out that the person in this family who loves and considers her the most is the second sister.

At this time, Mrs. Gu dragged Wei Min in who was full of awkwardness. She was too busy to see the scene in the courtyard, so she yelled loudly: "Manlu! Is Manlu ready? The car to pick up the bride is here."

After seeing the situation clearly, Mrs. Gu frowned and said, "What's the matter?" Looking at Mother Gu, Mrs. Gu said with a straight face: "How old is this person, this posture is too ugly. After a while, my son-in-law came in and saw the joke gone."

Mrs. Gu is also a shrewd person. She knew at a glance that the mother and daughter had quarreled, but she didn't explain it clearly, and only urged Manlu to change clothes.

Gu Zhenzhen had already heard the sound of car horns and the chirping of every household in the alley, and she knew she couldn't leave.Feeling fried in my heart, I finally had no choice but to go back to the room to change the wedding dress, and put on makeup carefully. It's not because I value this wedding, but because I'm used to it.Turning a deaf ear to Mrs. Gu's praise, Gu Zhenzhen only thought about how to avoid Zhu Hongcai.

In the beginning, she looked down upon Zhu Hongcai and hated him, but she never felt afraid of him, but now that her identity was different, she suddenly found that Zhu Hongcai was a terrifying person.She could imagine Zhu Hongcai's face if she said she would not marry at this moment.

Manlu and Manzhen are different, Manzhen is young, clean and full of vigor, Zhu Hongcai has always admired and dared not blaspheme, but to Manlu... Even if Zhu Hongcai is willing to marry Manlu, he is willing to coax him courteously on weekdays, but in his heart he is Look down on Manlu.

Zhu Hongcai's motivation to please Manlu was not pure. If he was lustful, most of them were young and beautiful dancers. When he fell in love with Manlu, he was not only interested in Manlu, but also because of Manlu's money.Zhu Hongcai was in the speculative business. He had been following Mr. Wang before, but now he wanted to do it himself, but he was short of money. He knew that Manlu had been a dancer for many years, and had been popular for a few years, so he had savings.What's more, Zhu Hongcai was originally begging for a concubine, and he had a wife. If Manlu hadn't made a fuss, today's scene would not have happened.

Gu Zhenzhen is a descendant. A beautiful woman works hard in the metropolis and attracts the rich second generation to be courteous to her. Naturally, she has some schemes. At the same time, she is also very good at weighing the pros and cons.Such people have plans, but they are afraid, because they are afraid of losing.Therefore, at this time, Gu Zhenzhen had developed a fear of Zhu Hongcai, a double attack of humiliation and rebellion, which made her hate and reject her current fate even more.

"Why didn't you see Second Sister?" Zhu Hongcai's voice came from outside the door, indicating that he had come to pick up a kiss.

Gu's mother replied: "Second sister is sick, and she really can't get up, so I can't go today."

Gu Zhenzhen's eyes lit up when she heard Zhu Hongcai asking Manzhen attentively.

Originally Manzhen was the bridesmaid, and Manya was holding the gauze, but now only Manya stood timidly at the door, as if she was afraid that the elder sister would get angry and beat someone at any time.Gu Zhenzhen waved to her and put on a gentle smile: "Little sister, come here."

"Sister, are you not angry?" Manya asked tentatively, and slowly moved over.In the past, although Manlu had a bad temper and often got angry with Gu's mother, she was still very kind to her siblings.

"Don't be angry. Your second sister is sick? Didn't she feel well yesterday? What's wrong with her? How is she?" Gu Zhenzhen asked a series of questions, both guilty and impatient.She wondered if Manzhen was still the original Manzhen.

Manya was still young, so when she saw her asking, she answered truthfully: "It seems that I caught a cold last night, and my whole face was very pale, and I couldn't get out of bed. The doctor hasn't come yet."

Before asking any more questions, Mother Gu came in, her eyes were still red, and her voice was a little hoarse.Mother Gu felt aggrieved when she was criticized by her eldest daughter before. She never imagined that her eldest daughter would hate her so much all these years. For a while, she was so ashamed and angry that she wished she could die, but she couldn't let go of the younger ones.Mrs. Gu persuaded her for a while, and then thought that the eldest daughter was getting married today, so she had to come over to take care of it.

When Gu's mother saw her, she was still a little uncomfortable: "Are you ready? Hongcai is waiting, don't miss the auspicious time to go out."

Gu Zhenzhen didn't take the quarrel just now to heart at all, and only asked her: "Is Manzhen seriously ill? Can you speak clearly? Do you know anyone?"

Gu's mother thought she was worried about Manzhen, so she explained: "It's just that the body is weak, it's not very important. Doctor Qing will come and see you later. You can't delay here, so don't worry about her."

Gu Zhenzhen thought in her heart that she just came here, but she didn't have Manzhen's memory, but she analyzed it from the names of the family, and she was familiar with the story, so she didn't show her flaws.Now that Manzhen didn't reveal his flaws, he presumably was his real self, probably, he was suppressed before, and I don't know if she knew what he did with her body earlier?

Even though she really wanted to find out the truth, she couldn't afford to dawdle right now, and Mother Gu had already sent her to the car to pick her up.

Zhu Hongcai was dressed in a suit, with a big red flower on his chest, and deliberately leaned towards her face to compliment her: "Hey, today's eldest lady is really beautiful, I am so lucky."

Gu Zhenzhen endured her nausea, glared at him, and said nothing.

Zhu Hongcai was used to this, and ordered the driver to drive amidst the sound of firecrackers.

Previously, Zhu Hongcai only planned to set up two tables of wine when he was about to get married, but it was Man Lu who refused and decided to get married formally.Of course, Zhu Hongcai has a wife and children. The so-called formal marriage is to invite guests to a public banquet to celebrate, which is a bit of a publicity. Be an aunt.A few years ago, a new "Marriage Law" was promulgated, which stipulated that monogamy was intended to improve the status of women, but there are always advantages and disadvantages in everything.The concubine is gone, and concubines are very popular. If there is any money, there is a concubine at home. Many people who go out have their original wives at home to take care of the elderly and children, and concubines accompany them to socialize outside. This is the norm in the world.

Zhu Hongcai's previous excuses were that he was afraid of his wife suing for bigamy, or that his natal family would make trouble. The root cause was that he felt that Man Lu's background was unstoppable.If Man Lu didn't force him, she would just follow him without any name or distinction.

Zhu Hongcai is a businessman, and he knows many people from all walks of life, so the banquet is naturally lively.

Gu Zhenzhen had a plan in her mind, not only handled it well during the banquet, but also used the guests to boo her, and forced Zhu Hongcai to drink a lot of wine, and the banquet lasted, Zhu Hongcai was already drunk regardless of the southeast and north.Seeing him like that, Gu Zhenzhen wished that he would just die of drunkenness.

The new house was rented in a hall, waiting for Zhu Hongcai to be put on the bed, Gu Zhenzhen sent her natal family away.

Although she was reluctant, for future plans, Gu Zhenzhen endured her disgust and waited on the drunk Zhu Hongcai, took off her clothes, shoes and socks, threw the quilt on him, and immediately sat away from him.If you can hide from the first day of the new year, you can't hide from the fifteenth day. You can get drunk tonight, but what if you wake up tomorrow?

Gu Zhenzhen can run away when she has the time, no one will prevent her from running away, but once she runs away, she can't stay in Shanghai anymore.Where does she go after leaving Shanghai?At this time, it was the Anti-Japanese War era, and Shanghai was still relatively peaceful. In a few years, everything would be in chaos. The darkness before dawn was always extremely cruel. She was a single woman... used to living a peaceful life, so she was naturally afraid of war. If possible, it’s best to go abroad. That requires meeting people and money, a lot of money.

Before I knew it, I thought too far, and the final conclusion was that she couldn't leave Shanghai.

Gu Zhenzhen didn't sleep almost all night until dawn. She called her servant Zhou Ma: "Look at the master, and when the master wakes up, tell me that I have gone back to my mother's house. The second lady was seriously ill yesterday. I am really worried. Go and Take a look and come back, you serve the good master."

Zhou's mother could see that this wife was a powerful person, so naturally she didn't dare to respond.

Gu Zhenzhen took the purse, went out and called a rickshaw to return home.

Man Lu followed her out, after thinking about it, she didn't go to Gu's house, but went to Tao Shuobai.Although Manzhen can't see Manlu, she has been a wandering lonely soul and knows how it feels. Last night, while Gu's mother was not in the room, she whispered Tao Shuobai's address to the air, and asked Manlu to find Tao. Shuobai, maybe there is a way.

Sure enough, Man Lu found Tao Shuobai in the hotel, because the house and shops had not been tidied up yet, Tao Shuobai would stay here for a few more days.

After listening to Man Lu's request, Tao Shuobai said: "You always follow her, it's not good for her recovery."

Man Lu probably also guessed that it was the so-called difference between humans and ghosts.

Tao Shuobai said again: "I can do it so that the two of you sisters can see and talk to each other. The time limit is not long. In addition, you can't leave the body for too long. I will find a chance to let you return to the body as soon as possible. .”

"What does Mr. Tao need me to do?" Man Lu is a sophisticated person, she doesn't believe that someone treats you well for no reason, so she asked directly.

"Follow Gu Zhenzhen closely, observe her every move, and tell me immediately if there is anything unusual. I want to remind you that Gu Zhenzhen is not an ordinary person. There is an evil spirit living in her soul. She has been being corrupted by malice for her own sake. She could do anything." Tao Shuobai told her the truth because she saw that she was more cruel than Manzhen, she had experienced more, she could hold her breath, and now she was a wandering soul, her actions were limited, and she was less likely to make mistakes.

Man Lu was startled, she didn't care about her health, but she was worried that Gu Zhenzhen would harbor ill will towards Manzhen and Gu's family.

Tao Shuobai added: "She will not be willing to marry Zhu Hongcai, she must be trying to escape, and before she escapes, the evil spirit will definitely devour your luck and Zhu Hongcai's luck, then throw away your body and attach another person... ..."

"She wants Manzhen?" Man Lu guessed very sensitively.

"It is possible." In fact, it is very likely.

Man Lu's eyes were red, and she looked ferocious like a ghost.

At this time, Gu Zhenzhen had arrived at Gu's house.

Manzhen lay down all day, not sleepy, woke up early, Gu's mother woke up earlier, prepared breakfast, sent the children to school, and saw Manlu coming.It is customary to return home in three days, and the newlyweds will return the next day. Gu's mother was taken aback, thinking that Man Lu had lost her temper again.

Manzhen was also surprised. Hearing the sound of high-heeled shoes, she came upstairs, all the way to her door.Manzhen immediately understood that the other party had come to find out the truth. Fortunately, there was a buffer one day, and Manzhen was ready to speak.

When Gu Zhenzhen opened the door, she saw Manzhen leaning against the head of the bed with a pale face, and a smile appeared on her face when she came in: "Sister, it's all my fault, but I was sick yesterday, and I couldn't attend your meeting." wedding."

Gu Zhenzhen was relieved when she saw that she had a natural expression and didn't recognize that she was not the original owner.Going to the bed and sitting down, Gu Zhenzhen first asked a few words about her condition, and then asked: "Why did you suddenly become ill when you were fine? I saw that you were fine a few days ago."

Manzhen showed a little confused expression, and she wondered: "It's strange to say, my mind is muddled now, and I can't remember what happened a while ago."

Gu Zhenzhen's eyes flashed, and she hurriedly asked, "I can't remember when?"

"It seems, I remember that half a month ago I was sick, I was confused by the fever, and I asked Jiemin to deliver the office key to my colleagues, but I don't remember much about it after that." Manzhen tapped his head, and then She smiled embarrassedly: "Sister is going to laugh at me again."

Gu Zhenzhen was completely relieved, looking at Manzhen's young and beautiful face, her heart was sour and jealous. Originally, she was reborn into a good body, but why did she suddenly change in a second?She also thought, will she wake up one day and have another body?If it's a younger one, it's okay, but if it's a worse situation, then...

Gu Zhenzhen had a cold war for life.

Gu Zhenzhen didn't stay long, came out and asked Gu's mother a few words, knowing that Manzhen's illness would be fine after a few days of recuperation, so she had an idea in her heart.Immediately, he stopped eating at Gu's house, went out of the alley, ate two delicate fried dough sticks at the breakfast shop outside, drank a bowl of fresh soy milk with sugar, called a rickshaw to find an old doctor, and then returned to Zhu's house.

At this time, Zhu Hongcai also had breakfast. Seeing that she returned to her mother's house early in the morning, she was not angry. Instead, she asked, "How is the second sister's illness? If you want me to tell you, go to the hospital and find a good doctor. She is young. It’s light, but you can’t take your body seriously.”

Gu Zhenzhen didn't know his dirty thoughts, but she didn't show any signs of expression, she just rubbed her temples with a tired look: "Second sister is fine, she'll be fine after a few days of raising her, probably because she was tired a while ago." Said: "I'm not feeling well, go lie down for a while."

She just got married, Zhu Hongcai still cared about her very much, hurriedly asked what was wrong with her, and ordered a car to see a doctor.

Gu Zhenzhen frowned and said, "I don't have energy, I don't want to go out, so I'll call an old doctor to have a look." Then she told Zhou's mother, told her the address, and gave her the name of the shop: "The old doctor in the pharmacy is good at treating diseases. You go ask him to come."

Mother Zhou is going now.

As a considerate gesture, Zhu Hongcai placed her on the bed and served tea and water. Gu Zhenzhen was just bored and her face was cold.Zhu Hongcai knew that she was angry and uncomfortable, so he didn't take it seriously.

After the old doctor invited him, he frowned as soon as he felt his pulse.

"Old man, is my wife's illness serious?" Zhu Hongcai asked.

The old doctor went out of the room, avoiding the patients inside and said: "This lady's illness is a trivial matter, but..."

"Sir, just talk."

"My wife has gastrointestinal problems, which can only be recuperated, and there are some gynecological symptoms. It is best for husband and wife to sleep in separate rooms." , It hurts the body very much, I'm afraid I won't be able to get pregnant again."

Although the old doctor's words did coincide with Manlu's physical condition, he was able to say the miscarriage without hesitation, but he was instructed by Gu Zhenzhen.Gu Zhenzhen had already found this half-baked old doctor, made up a story, and spent 30 yuan to ask the other party to tell Zhu Hongcai what she said.The old doctor's medical skills are limited, and his livelihood is difficult. 30 yuan is a lot, so he agreed.

Zhu Hongcai didn't care about what was said before, and even temporarily being unable to live a married life just made him feel that he was losing money. After all, he was the wife who spent money to get back, but he couldn't get close.However, what really annoyed him was the following words - Man Lu's body is no longer able to bear children!

Zhu Hongcai married Man Lu because he was not only greedy for beauty and money, but also because he wanted a son to carry on the family line.His wife in the country has only one girl left, and he himself is in his 40s and [-]s, and he really wants a son.Now that Man Lu can't give birth and is a sick child, what's the use of marrying her?Can the money she saved be given to him?Not all of them are used for medical treatment!

Zhu Hongcai cursed bitterly, feeling that the deal was too bad, and regretted marrying such a woman.You know, he not only raises Man Lu, but also contributes money to the Gu family every month to support the family.

Zhu Hongcai lost his face, sent the old doctor away, and turned to Gu Zhenzhen when he entered the room: "Okay, miss, you've made me miserable."

But Gu Zhenzhen started to cry, and said while crying: "I know I'm sorry for you, I can't have a baby, and I have to spend money on medical treatment, which completely drags you down. I, or we will take it apart, If you marry a good woman again, I will pay the bride price."

This is Gu Zhenzhen's temptation. She is not a natural villain, but selfish. If she can, she doesn't want to use Gu Manzhen to this trap.After all, Gu Manzhen is the heroine of the story. She is worried that one person will be bad, but harming the other party will cause herself to suffer retribution.

Zhu Hongcai was taken aback for a moment, and his heart moved for a while, but when he opened his mouth, he said, "Oh, Man Lu, what are you talking about. Why did you marry me? Didn't you find someone to rely on? Since I married you , you have to take responsibility, how can you say that if you take it apart, you will take it apart."

Gu Zhenzhen sneered, she didn't believe that Zhu Hongcai had a conscience, he must be thinking about Gu Manzhen!
