Chapter 1 Sobriety
When Shen Jintang opened his eyes, he found himself in a river. On the bank, a group of eight or nine-year-old children ran away in panic.
The river water was bitingly cold, and there were layers of broken ice all around that scratched her neck from time to time.
She didn't have time to think too much, and waving her frozen limbs, she swam hard towards the shore.
Just as she was about to swim to the shore, her mind felt as if she had been pricked by a needle. The pain caused her eyes to go dark and she fainted.
……
"Tang'er, wake up, wake up and see mother!"
"Sister, please wake up, my second brother bought you your favorite chestnut cake."
"Tang'er, daddy and eldest brother are back from school. Can you open your eyes and take a look at us?"
"Little sister, big brother bought you beautiful silk flowers. Get up quickly and put them on to see if they look good."
A familiar and kind voice rang in his ears. Shen Jintang tried hard to open his eyes, but his eyelids seemed to be glued and he couldn't open them.
At some point, she fell into coma again and could not hear any sounds from the outside world.
The chaotic memories were like a raging wave, hitting her mind one after another.
Two sets of memories flashed through her mind in confusion, making it impossible for her to tell whether this was a past life or this life.
In her previous life, she was a young and promising professor in the medical field, leading students to research and treat various difficult and complicated diseases.
In this life, she is a confused and confused fool who is always bullied when she is alone.
One day, her cousin in the town brought her delicious cakes and gave them to her in front of all the children in the village.
As soon as her cousin left, the children came to snatch her cakes, and she fell into the glacier during the pushing.
The biting cold feeling seemed to still exist, and Shen Jintang shuddered suddenly and opened his eyes.
"Tang'er, you, are you awake?"
A voice of surprise sounded, and Shen Jintang turned her stiff neck to look over, and saw her father leaning on the table beside her bed, reading a book.
Shen Jintang opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but his throat was dry and blocked, and he couldn't say "Dad".
Before the words were spoken, tears rushed out.
When Shen Mu saw this, his eyes turned red.
"Tang'er, would you like some water?" Shen Mu suppressed the tears in his eyes and poured her a bowl of water.
Shen Jintang sat up with his support and drank more than half of the bowl in one breath. He felt his throat was moistened by water, and then he softly called daddy.
Shen Mu was stunned for a moment: "Tang'er, you..."
Shen Jintang knew what he was thinking, smiled and said, "Dad, I'm fine, I'm not stupid anymore."
Now, it was Shen Mu's turn to be speechless.
It took him a long time before he said hello three times with trembling lips.
"Dad, where are my mother and eldest and second brothers?" Shen Jintang couldn't help but ask after waking up and not seeing them for a long time.
"Your mother went to the vegetable field to pick some vegetables." Shen Mu put a pillow behind her and let her lean on it. He said, "Your eldest brother and second brother went to the mountain to collect firewood."
Picking vegetables?
Shen Jintang was confused. She remembered that it was winter when she fell into the water and fell unconscious. Where could there be vegetables in the fields?
"Dad, what time is it now?"
Shen Mu touched her head lovingly and said warmly: "You have been in a coma for nearly half a year, and it is already summer."
It took so long?
During the period of coma, Shen Jintang's mind kept playing some events from his past life. After playing the past life, he played the events of this life.
Therefore, although she had lived in ignorance for more than ten years, she now understands her family somewhat.
Her family was originally from the Xinglin family, and someone in her ancestors once served as an imperial doctor.
But no one in the younger generation had the talent to study medicine, so it gradually declined and was completely reduced to an out-and-out banker's family.
When it came to her father Shen Mu's generation, he loved reading and passed the examination as a scholar, so he was invited to become a teacher in the town.
Her mother was the direct daughter of the Wu family, a wealthy family in the town. Unfortunately, she lost her mother when she was young, and her grandfather married a step-in-law.
After the stepmother came in, she gave birth to two sons and one daughter one after another. So she became even more unhappy about her becoming a mother.
After finally waiting for her mother to grow up, because of her good looks, her stepmother was afraid that she would outshine her daughter, so she married her mother off to a scholar.
This scholar is her father.
"Is Brother Shen at home?" Shen Jintang's thoughts were interrupted by a delicate voice.
She looked through the half-open window and saw an attractive young woman walking into the yard, wearing a pink-gold double-breasted gown and an apricot chest-length undershirt.
She has long and shiny black hair, with a silver hairpin on her bun. The ice blue earrings on both earlobes sway back and forth as she moves.
This dress does not look like that of a village farmer.
Shen Mu also saw her through the window, and was slightly surprised, obviously not expecting that she was here to see him.
However, he was always gentle and courteous, so he paused and responded: "At home."
Cao Lanru heard the sound and walked towards the room where they were.
"Brother Shen~" She called out sweetly as soon as she walked into the door.
When Shen Jintang heard this, goosebumps suddenly appeared on his body.
She stared at Cao Lanru coldly and sneered in her heart, was this woman taking advantage of her mother's absence to seduce her father?
When Shen Mu heard this, he couldn't help but rub his arms: "Is there something wrong with Sister-in-law Chen?"
When Cao Lanru heard the name Chen's sister-in-law, her expression froze for a moment. She was obviously only in her twenties, but because she married a bad old man, she had to be called aunt or sister-in-law wherever she went.
"Brother Shen, don't be so polite. Just call me Lanru." Cao Lanru raised her eyes and saw Shen Jintang leaning on the bedside and looking at her.
"Hey, Sister Tang, are you awake?" she said in surprise.
Shen Mu nodded, not wanting to say more to her: "I just woke up not long ago."
Shen Jintang also smiled slowly at her.
For a moment, Cao Lanru felt a chill all over her body.
She couldn't help but take a step back, thinking to herself, it's really weird, how can a fool feel so scary?
After suppressing the thoughts in her mind, she looked at Shen Mu again and smiled shyly: "Brother Shen, my brother Qiu is seven years old. I think after the summer harvest this year, let him go to the town to study with you. , do you think it will work?"
As she said that, she took another step forward, staggered, and was about to fall on Shen Mu.
Shen Mu quickly backed away and saw her lying on the dirt.
"Poof!"
Shen Jintang couldn't help laughing when he saw his father hiding away as if he was avoiding the plague.
"Aunt Cao is sick!" Shen Jintang said.
Cao Lanru glanced at Shen Mu sadly, and just got up from the ground in embarrassment when she heard Shen Jintang's words.
She was a little angry. When she saw Shen Mu standing aside, she suppressed it and said with a dry smile: "You kid, what did you say..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly stared at Shen Jintang with wide eyes, and said in disbelief: "You, aren't you stupid?"
In the past, Shen Jintang was so stupid that he couldn't even speak, and he would just stay blank all day long.
Because she was so shocked, she forgot to conceal her malice and only realized it after speaking out.
Thinking of seducing her father in front of the not-stupid Shen Jintang and falling down in embarrassment, her face turned red and white.
Shen Jintang didn't mind her words at all and replied with a smile: "Yeah, I'm not stupid anymore. But you, Aunt Cao, are really ill and can't even stand."
When Cao Lanru heard this, she couldn't stay any longer, so she turned around and ran away.
