"Just wait, Mom will go cook you some porridge." Through the door panel, Ms. Li’s voice carried a sense of ease and joy.
It was a concession for her daughter.
If tomorrow works out, they could arrange the marriage with the in-laws sooner.
That way, she would also fulfill one of her heartfelt wishes.
She hurried to the kitchen...
Rong Yan listened to the footsteps, a mocking smile forming on her lips.
She ignored the outside world, starting to meticulously search the room to see if there was anything useful.
Right, she needed to find her exam admission ticket and ID card.
As she remembered, the exam admission ticket was with her teacher. She hadn’t gone to school in the past couple of days, and in fact, the head teacher had come over twice.
But the cheap mother who was watching her had found an excuse to send him away.
The original owner of the body’s mouth had been gagged with cloth by them who had known the news one step ahead.
That’s why the head teacher hadn’t found out.
Fortunately, the teacher was still vigilant, and she hadn’t handed over the exam admission ticket to the couple.
In this case, she didn’t need to worry about the exam admission ticket, but she didn’t have the ID card.
The ID card was in the hands of that couple, most likely hidden away by them. Latest content published on novel{f}ire.net
She had to get her ID card so she could go take the college entrance exam tomorrow.
Otherwise, she didn’t know if she’d have time tomorrow morning to get a temporary ID card, unless she escaped tonight and then went to the police station...
The thought crossed her mind, and Rong Yan felt it was not an impossible idea.
She searched the entire room and gathered some things she needed to bring tomorrow.
What surprised her was... she actually found twenty yuan hidden by her original self.
Clutching the money, Rong Yan’s memories were stirred; each time she received a scholarship, she had retained one or two yuan after handing over the rest.
This twenty, it had been accumulated over many years by her original self.
Now in 1986, twenty yuan was quite useful.
She put away the money, then put some pens in her school bag and packed a change of clothes.
By the time she finished all this, the sound of unlocking from outside had also begun.
Rong Yan immediately went to the door.
Ms. Li came in, holding a bowl of white porridge and two eggs.
Seeing her daughter’s pale face, she said with pity, "Yanyan, Mom has poured you a bowl of porridge, and here are these two eggs. Eat slowly, get some good sleep, and tomorrow... the person you’re to meet for the arranged marriage will come."
Rong Yan didn’t heed her words, instead taking the bowl of porridge... and also took the eggs from her hand.
She promptly began peeling the eggshells...
Ms. Li’s gaze lingered on the eggs for two seconds, the reluctance in her eyes flickering briefly and then disappearing.
After all, in the past, the eggs in their household were eaten by the men.
Her son and her husband, each had two eggs every day.
Shifting her gaze, she then looked around the room and spotted the rope hanging from the beam.
Her expression changed, "Yanyan, why are you thinking such dark thoughts? Could your parents really harm you?"
Listening to this, Rong Yan replied with scorn, "Whether you harm me or not, don’t you know in your hearts?"
Ms. Li’s eyes flickered, "All women must marry, whether you marry later or sooner, it’s all the same. It’s better to marry earlier. The family Mom has found for you is in excellent conditions. Once you marry there, you’ll enjoy a lifetime of fortune, and later, you can even take care of your brother!"
Rong Yan’s mocking smile grew more pronounced, "I clearly have a better future ahead of me, why should I settle for marriage?"
She was speaking on behalf of the original owner of the body.
