Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 148: No Matter How Hard I Try, I Can’t Fit In

The man from that family was unable to have children due to an injury, leaving them with only a sickly daughter. They didn’t want their daughter to be bullied when she married into another family, nor did they want their lineage to end. They thought of raising a child at ho early on so that after their passing, there would still be soone to take care of their daughter.

At that ti, no matter how much I pleaded, Grandma wouldn’t relent.

Just as I was about to be taken away by that couple, my cousin and her husband ca back for a visit, stopped them, and talked privately with Grandma for a long ti. Only then did Grandma relent, and I wasn’t taken away by that couple.

Later on, it was my cousin who felt sorry for and feared that after they left, Grandma would send away to be a child bridegroom, so she begged her parents to take with them.

My cousin and her husband initially disagreed, but they couldn’t resist my cousin’s persistence, so they eventually agreed.

I only found out later that the reason Grandma agreed to let leave with my cousin’s family was that they gave Grandma thirty yuan. However, my cousin’s husband was wise and found the village head to witness and sign a docunt to prevent future disputes with Grandma.

The docunt stated that when I grew up, whether I returned ho or not would be my decision. If I didn’t return, the thirty yuan would be considered full compensation for raising . If I wanted to return, the family couldn’t refuse to take back under any pretext, which was most advantageous to little .

The reason my cousin’s husband took was that their eldest son went missing in the chaos of war, and their second son drowned because the mother didn’t watch over him properly. My cousin was ntally traumatized by losing one son and having another die, often having relapses.

They thought that bringing this nephew from the maternal side might be beneficial for my cousin.

So, I left with my cousin and her family, returning to live with the Shen Family in Beijing.

At first, the elders of the Shen Family and other relatives didn’t agree, but my cousin’s husband insisted and ntioned that it was a few older cousins who took their eldest son out and didn’t bring him back, and their second son drowned because his own mother didn’t watch over him properly.

The Shen Family dared not object after Third Brother brought up past mistakes because they were indeed at fault.

I stayed with the Shen Family, but the good tis didn’t last long. When I was seventeen, my cousin and her husband had an accident trying to save equipnt in the factory, and as the Shen Family didn’t want to support an outsider, I returned to the He Family.

Returning to the He Family, the grandmother who didn’t welco had passed away. My parents felt guilty for mistreating , so they were fairly nice to , but after ten years apart, having visited only once, I always felt a distance between us.

I stayed at ho for less than a year before seeking an opportunity to join the military.

After joining the army, I still kept in touch with the family, but the relationship was just average. Over my six years in the military, I only went ho twice, and each ti I stayed for only a few days before leaving.

I just couldn’t fit in with that family, no matter how hard I tried.

Later, I retired due to an injury and started working at the chanical Factory, where I would spend one day each month going back, just going through the motions. The only good part was that I didn’t have to send money ho.

It wasn’t that I didn’t want to, but after Big Brother and Second Brother got married, they only paid for living expenses. My parents felt embarrassed to ask soone who didn’t live at ho to contribute financially.
