Chapter 128: A Life of Impersonation
In the early 80s, people who graduated from high school were considered educated.
Because of her excellent grades, Lin Ruoxi was recommended by the school to attend a medical school. She was guaranteed a job after graduation.
However, she waited and waited, but no notice came.
When the school was about to start, she went to the school to ask, and they said they had already mailed the notice. She ran back to the village to ask, but they said they hadn't received it.
With no power or influence, she had no choice but to farm at home.
Two years later, her eldest cousin who had married in the city gave birth to a child and had no one to take care of it, so she asked her to go over to help.
Another two years passed. Her family found an honest man for her and they got married.
Not long after they got married, her mother-in-law fell ill again. She took care of her for seven or eight years until she passed away.
After finally getting through a better time, her husband died unexpectedly when her son needed money.
For the sake of her son, she gritted her teeth and persevered. Although she had no diploma and could only serve others, she worked as a nanny and a cleaner.
At that time, domestic workers' wages were very low. She scrimped and saved, and managed to send her son to college. She also scrimped and saved to help him find a wife and raise his children.
Now, in her 60s, she sometimes stares at her grandson in a daze. It seems that I have never lived for myself in my life. Who am I busying myself for?
She knew that this was the life of most ordinary people.
She couldn't help but wonder, if I had received the notice at the beginning, would my life be different?
Ginger asked, "So do you want to experience it?"
"Yes. If I could live again, I would live for myself."
"Then I'll go back in time for you."
Sheng Jiang chanted the spell, and time began to rewind like a videotape, all the way back to the year when Lin Ruoxi graduated from high school.
"Ruoxi, your notice was taken away by the village party secretary. He wants to send his niece, Lin Junying, to school," Sheng Jiang said. "How do you want to take revenge on him?"
"Get my own notice back first. I want to bring ruin to his and Lin Junying's reputation!"
"It's easy to get it back." Sheng Jiang said, and stretched out his hand, and the notice appeared in his hand.
Lin Ruoxi saw the simple and clear notice without any decoration, and saw the name on it. She hugged it tightly in her arms and burst into tears.
This was the hope I had been longing for all my life, to change my fate, but it was extinguished by their greed.
At this time, at the home of the village party secretary Lin Wangcai, his niece was also holding the notice, overjoyed, "Uncle, this is my notice? That's great!"
As she said that, she kissed him.
Holy shit! So exciting?
"You kid! As long as you have something promising in the future, just don't forget your uncle."
"That's natural"
At this time, outside Lin Wangcai's house, many people were pushing at the door, looking gossipy.
They still didn't dare to break in. The village leaders at that time were like local tyrants.
"I never thought that the village party secretary, who looks so serious, is actually like this behind the scenes?"
"That girl Junying is not his brother's biological daughter. She is his brother's wife and her ex-husband's daughter. After her ex-husband ran away, she married his brother while pregnant."
"That's too..."
Sheng Jiang and Lin Ruoxi looked at each other, eating melons and cracking melon seeds at the same time, it was delicious.
The next day, higher-ups came to investigate. Engaging in an inappropriate relationship at that time was a serious matter. Furthermore, Lin Wangcai, as the village Party secretary, had deceived his superiors and subordinates, withheld villagers' benefits, and retaliated against those who disobeyed him. He was made an example of, arrested, and sentenced to death.
Death is too easy.
Sheng Jiang captured his soul and stuffed it into the body of a boy with good grades. But this boy committed suicide by jumping into a river because he didn't receive his admission letter. Since you like to change other people's lives, let me also let you experience the feeling of being replaced.
Sheng Jiang put Lin Wangcai's soul into the boy's body, letting him know clearly that he had been admitted to university, but he didn't know where the admission letter was, so he couldn't go. He could only be a farmer or a migrant worker for the rest of his life.
As for Lin Junying, hehe, let her live the life she deserves.
Soon, Lin Ruoxi started school. As soon as she registered, she heard a commotion at the registration desk.
"Teacher, you must be mistaken. This is your school's notice, and my name is on it! Why won't you let me register?"
Lin's mother also sat on the ground and cried, "Everyone came to see this, bullying the rural people, my daughter has the notice, but they just don't let us study.
I tell you, if you don't let my daughter go to school, I will sue you. I will sue you to the central government and even go to Beijing!"
A group of confused people looked at each other in bewilderment. Some wanted to help Lin's mother up, but she pushed them away. "I can't get up! I want justice for my daughter!"
Soon, a school leader came over, took the admission letter from Lin Junying, and frowned, saying, "This is not an admission letter from our school. Your name is Lin Junying, right? What was your college entrance examination score?"
Lin Junying remained silent because she only scored over 100 points in the college entrance examination.
"Our school has an admission score cutoff. If your score isn't up to par, we won't send you the admission letter. So, tell me your admission ticket number and I'll check it."
Lin Junying still remained silent.
The school leader said sternly, "Then we'll have to ask the police and the Education Bureau to investigate. If you forged this admission letter, you will bear serious criminal responsibility."
Lin Junying was startled. He turned his head and saw Lin Ruoxi. He seemed to understand something in an instant, "Lin Ruoxi?! Why are you here?"
"Look at what you're saying. I was recommended by the school to study here. If I don't register here, where else can I be? And you, why are you here? Did you get into this school? That's really surprising."
"But you clearly..."
"What's wrong with Mingming?" Lin Ruoxi smiled.
Lin Junying understood, "It's you, it must be you! You changed my notice. You bitch!"
Upon hearing this, the school leader immediately asked, "Student, do you know this student Lin?"
"Of course I know him. We are not only classmates, but also from the same village."
"So how is this student's academic performance?"
"Not very good. She usually relies on cheating in exams. She cheated in the college entrance exam and only got a little over 108 points by copying others."
"What nonsense are you talking about? What right do you have to slander my daughter?" Mother Lin was furious. She got up from the ground and was about to pounce on Lin Ruoxi.
"My daughter has always done very well in school exams, and her teachers often praise her. I think you're just jealous of my daughter! I think your admission letter is fake!"
Lin Junying also looked at Lin Ruoxi with tears in his eyes, "Ruoxi, we are from the same village, grew up together, and we are good friends. How can you slander me like this? Am I usually not good to you? "
"You usually let me copy my homework, and now you've even forged the notice and are blaming me. You really are my good friend! Yes, I slandered you. How can something a scholar does be called copying? It's at most cheating, right?"
There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.
"What a talent! He can't even copy."
"108 points? I copied the entire Liangshan Heroes, and there isn't a single good person."
"Maybe she was jealous of the girl recommended by the school, so she forged the admission letter?"
"Well, it's very possible. It's only been a few years since we resumed the college entrance examination, and the country is in need of talented people. They even waived our tuition fees and gave us living allowances. If the school didn't check strictly, then if she managed to get into university, wouldn't her life and her family's life be greatly improved?"
The school called the police early, and Uncle Hat came and took Lin Junying and her daughter away.
The investigation results showed that Lin Junying forged the admission notice and cheated in the college entrance examination. His student status was revoked and he will never be able to take the college entrance examination again.
Lin Junying was sentenced to five years in prison.
Lin's mother returned to the village alone, and was greeted by Lin Wangsheng's fist.
Almost everyone in this village has the surname Lin.
Lin Wangcai and Lin Wangsheng are brothers, one is shrewd and cunning, the other is honest.
In the past, Lin Wangcai was a tyrant in the village. The villagers endured his anger and dared not speak out, and even treated Lin Wangsheng politely.
Now that Lin Wangcai has been executed, the villagers are no longer afraid of the Lin family. They point fingers at his family every day, making sarcastic remarks. Wherever Lin Wangsheng goes, he feels the strange looks from others. This makes him feel angry, but he has no way to vent.
It happened that Lin's mother and Lin Junying went to school again. He had been holding it in for many days. When he saw Lin's mother, the anger in his heart suddenly jumped out and he started beating her, scolding her while beating her.
"Bitch! You stinky bitch! Whose child is Junying? Tell me? Have I been bad to you all these years? You actually put a hat on me?"
Lin's mother held her head, not daring to say a word. Unexpectedly, Lin Wangsheng became more and more addicted to beating her, beating her so hard that she could only breathe out more than in. She had to lie in bed for over a month before she recovered.
Lin Ruoxi studied at a medical school for three years, then took the entrance exam for a medical university, where she studied for four years. After graduation, she went back to work at a hospital. During this time, she met her college classmate Wu Ming, and they fell in love and got married.
Later, because of pregnancy, I couldn't work overtime often, so I was transferred to work in the National Health Commission.
In 2003, a sudden outbreak of SARS caused panic across the country.
Lin Ruoxi and a group of medical staff resolutely armed themselves fully, isolated themselves, and began to study the characteristics of the virus and the vaccine.
Some even thought of using a combination of Chinese and Western medicine to control the condition of the affected population.
Soon, the disease was under control. Some patients recovered completely, and the whole country cheered.
Lin Ruoxi and a group of medical workers' names appeared in newspapers and on television.
When the news reached their hometown, the villagers were all envious when they saw Lin Ruoxi's family, "Old Lin, you gave birth to a good daughter!"
"Yes, Lao Lin. Your daughter is the pride of our Linjia Village."
When Lin Ruoxi returned home for the New Year, many villagers spontaneously gathered around to welcome her, welcoming the hero back.
Thinking back to her past life, when she had lived a mediocre life, Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but burst into tears: This is my own life! Live for myself, create value for the country, and let ordinary people live healthily.
And among the crowd, there is still a pair of resentful eyes.
Lin Junying has had a hard time these years.
After she was released from prison, she had been farming at home. Ever since her father found out she was not his biological daughter, he looked at her with a pair of lewd eyes every day, making her feel uncomfortable.
Later, her family received a large betrothal gift and sold her to an old man from a neighboring village. The old man loved drinking and would go crazy when he drank. When he got crazy, he would beat people.
She once ran back to her parents' home for help, but Lin's mother said, "A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Just be compliant and don't argue with him all the time. He won't beat you to death or even seriously injure you."
"Mom, you are my biological mother, how can you say that?"
"I spoiled you so much in the past that you didn't know how high the heavens were. Don't you see your current situation? Besides being your son-in-law, who else would want you?"
"You're in this state because of your own fault. I paid for your education and didn't let you worry about anything at home, but what did you learn? You cheated on the test and lied to me!
Look at Lin Ruoxi. Besides being in school, she also works in the fields after school, but it doesn't affect her studies. Now she's in college, a doctor, and has been transferred to the National Health Commission, a government department. You two grew up together, went to school together, studied in the same school, and had the same teachers. How can you be so different?
One is praised by everyone, the other is hated by everyone!"
Lin Ruoxi! It's Lin Ruoxi again! I clearly withheld the notice at the beginning, how could she have taken it away?
But no matter how much she hated him, it was useless. Even if she wanted to take revenge, she couldn't get close to her. Because Lin Ruoxi was now someone she could only look up to.
As soon as she got nervous and excited, the memories of her past life came back.
How could that be? I'm just walking in the park with my husband. I get a generous monthly pension, and we often go on trips together.
Why did this life turn out like this?
She lived a life of poverty, wearing tattered clothes, with rough fingers, haggard face, dull hair, and even white hair on her temples.
She is only in her 40s, but she already has white hair?
No, this is definitely not my life!
Unable to bear the stimulation, Lin Junying started to act crazy, crying and laughing at times.
Sometimes she yelled, "I'm the director of the hospital!" Sometimes she cried, "No, I'm not that drunkard's wife. My husband is not that kind of person. He's not that uneducated, a rough old man from the countryside, a mud-legged peasant!"
The villagers knew she was crazy and stayed away from her even more.
Nearly 20 years later, at the end of 2019, another sudden virus swept the country.
Lin Ruoxi, who had already retired, volunteered to take the lead again, bringing her own team, fully armed, and began to study viruses and vaccines again.
This war against the virus has been incredibly difficult and dangerous. How many people were alive and kicking one moment, then collapsed the next? Lin Ruoxi and her team, along with medical workers from across the country, worked tirelessly for months and finally brought the epidemic under control.
The whole country cheered again for those who were fighting on the line between life and death.
At this moment, Lin Ruoxi had finally reached a height that she had never dared to imagine before. She was very excited.
And in front of the TV, watching Lin Junying wearing the medal and the applause from the audience, his eyes were red and he murmured softly, "Why? Why are we all human beings, but our destinies are so different?"
She didn't dare to say anything bad about Lin Ruoxi now, because if she did, she would be drowned by the spit of others.
In the end, she could only hold her anger in her heart, which was so uncomfortable that she finally developed breast cancer.
Her husband certainly wasn't willing to spend money on her medical treatment. Soon, she was seriously ill and dying. Before she died, she was still asking, "Why? Why is my fate different in this life?"
In response, Sheng Jiang held his forehead and said, "Maybe, this is life, your real life."
60 words, congratulations. My dear children, please support me with your love. Thank you very much. I bow to you.
