Chapter 3: Learn about your life experience and get the golden finger

Why get engaged if you don’t like a female comrade!

Being scolded by the battalion commander, Ye Yunzhou felt extremely embarrassed, not to mention that it would also affect his promotion.

“I didn’t! It’s just that Zheng Qingning has a terrible reputation, so I…”

“If she has such a terrible reputation, why did you get engaged to her?” The disappointment in Nangong Ye’s eyes deepened. How could he entrust an important task to such a weakling? “In this day and age, it’s already hard enough for women to survive. Why make things difficult for a weak woman?”

Nangong Ye didn’t want to discuss a girl in the street. Seeing that he hadn’t taken his words to heart, he sneered and strode away.

Haicheng Hospital.

Zheng Qingning held the acceptance letter that Nangong Ye had left behind. She didn’t know why he had changed his mind again.

Looking at the words in front of her, she wanted to find the so-called golden finger they were talking about.

When she saw that Nangong Ye had met Ye Yunzhou, her heart jumped. She was afraid that he would tell Ye Yunzhou about the letter.

[What does “white moonlight” mean? The female supporting character is just a part of the male and female leads’ emotional play. Without the female supporting character causing trouble, how would the male lead recognize his own heart?]

[The white moonlight is so good. He never married, but he understands how difficult it is for women to survive in this era. He even used his promotion to threaten the male lead.]

[What’s so good about it? If the male lead doesn’t get promoted, where will our daughter live?]

[What white moonlight? His heart is black.]

[When our daughter gets the jade Guanyin from the female supporting character, she’ll start hoarding and become the first millionaire in the 1970s. With the Guanyin, she’ll find her relatives, get their protection, and dominate the entertainment industry, becoming a famous superstar.]

[Are you guys kidding me? The jade Guanyin was originally given to the female supporting character by her biological parents. Our daughter is taking the female supporting character’s keepsake and enjoying the female supporting character’s rich life, and you’re still showing off here.]

When she saw the last paragraph, Zheng Qingning’s whole body tensed up, and her palms were sweating.

So, she really wasn’t her parents’ child.

Ha…

How ironic!

No wonder other children’s parents were worried when they were sick, while she could only rely on herself to get through it, and she still had to take care of their three meals a day, laundry, and cleaning. If she didn’t do well, she would be cursed at, or even beaten.

Nangong Ye came to the hospital and learned that Zheng Qingning had already been discharged.

After repeatedly asking if anyone had looked for her, Nangong Ye left the hospital.

At this time, Zheng Qingning returned to the family compound with a pale face. The old men and women who passed by all looked at her with sympathy.

“That child is pitiful. Her father doesn’t love her, and her mother doesn’t care. Ever since the Zheng family’s youngest daughter came back, she’s been even more unwelcome.”

“Such a sensible child, how could she have met such heartless parents as the Zhengs.”

“If my daughter was as good at studying as Qingning, I would set off firecrackers for three days and three nights.”

“The Ye family’s child is back. The marriage between the two families should be brought forward.”

“You all know what the Ye family is like. A lame father, a sick mother, and crying younger siblings. She’s just jumping from one fire pit to another.”

“Ah, let’s go, let’s go. Time to go back and cook dinner.”

Zheng Qingning’s lips slightly curved up when she heard the old women’s conversation.

A fire pit?

Then she would fill it herself!

Since it was a pit to bury her, she had the right to decide, didn’t she?

Opening the door and entering the house, it was quiet. Those who were off work hadn’t returned yet, and those who were going to school were still playing outside. The whole family was waiting for Zheng Qingning to cook dinner. They would just eat when they got back.

Zheng Qingning’s goal was clear. She went directly into her parents’ room and took out a sandalwood box from the hidden compartment behind the closet.

Opening the sandalwood box, the top layer was scattered money tickets, grain books, and household registration books. Flipping down, she finally saw the jade Guanyin.

The jade Guanyin was only the size of a thumb, light green and transparent. Zheng Qingning picked up the jade Guanyin and looked up to see the words flashing again.

[No way! How did the female supporting character find the jade Guanyin?]

[Female supporting character, put it down quickly! This is the female lead’s golden finger!]

[It’s useless for the female supporting character to take it. She doesn’t know that the jade Guanyin needs blood to recognize its owner before it can open the space.]

[Hahaha, the female lead and her parents are downstairs and are about to come upstairs. The female supporting character is in big trouble]

Seeing this, Zheng Qingning’s pupils shrank. She put the jade Guanyin in her pocket, took out the household registration book, tore off her page, and finally looked at the money tickets.

After thinking about it, she hadn’t left yet. If the money tickets were missing, whether she stole them or not, she would be beaten for sure.

She hardened her heart, took out a few large bills and put them in her pocket, put the sandalwood box back in place, and tidied up her clothes before closing the closet door.

After looking around the room to make sure everything was okay, she carefully left the room and went into the kitchen.

Zheng Qingning, who had never done anything bad before, was trembling as she held the knife. When she heard the door being opened, her whole body shivered, and the knife in her hand fell to the ground.

Zheng’s mother ran over when she heard the sound. Seeing the gauze wrapped around Zheng Qingning’s forehead, a gloomy look flashed in her eyes. She went over and slapped her hard.

“Are you trying to die! You can’t even hold a knife steady. What’s the use of raising you!”

Zheng Qingning’s eyes were red. After learning that she wasn’t their biological child, she no longer had any hope for them. She bent down and picked up the knife from the ground.

Just as she was about to continue cutting vegetables, the head of the family, Zheng’s father, impatiently said,

“Alright, alright, didn’t you see she’s injured?” Then he said impatiently to Zheng Qingning, “If you’re not feeling well, go back to your room and lie down. Don’t eat tonight. It’s a waste of food!”

Zheng Qingning bit her lip hard, put down the knife, and ran back to her room with her head down.

The five-square-meter room was divided into two small rooms. Zheng Qingning’s side could only fit an eighty-centimeter-wide wooden board. There was no window. Her clothes for all seasons were placed on the innermost part of the wooden board.

Next door, Zheng Jiaojiao’s room had a one-meter-wide bed, a window, and a desk by the window. The entire wall was covered with her daily accessories and bags.

Just one board apart, but the two were completely opposite.

Entering her room, Zheng Qingning entered her own little world. She took out a needle from the bottom of her clothes, pricked her finger, squeezed out some blood, took out the jade Guanyin, and trembled as she held the jade Guanyin against the blood on her finger.

[Ah… Female supporting character, stop it quickly! That’s our daughter’s golden finger!]

[Female supporting character, can’t you just follow the plot? Marry someone and be a child-bearing machine, die early to make way for the female lead. Why are you stealing from our daughter?]

[It’s over, it’s over. If our daughter doesn’t have the jade Guanyin, how will she recognize her relatives?]

[Will our daughter still have a brilliant life?]

[Damn female supporting character, ah… I’m so angry.]

Zheng Qingning ignored the words in front of her. At this moment, she entered a dream paradise.

Zheng Qingning stood in place, looking at the house in front of her. The walls were painted so white, and the floor was as smooth as a mirror. Walking inside, she saw a leather sofa, a 150-inch TV, and a huge mirror.

Looking at herself in the mirror, her skin was sallow, and there were dark circles around her eyes. Long-term malnutrition made her chin very sharp, her eyes were large, and her small body was wearing clothes full of patches.

“Is this me?”

Zheng Qingning reached out and stroked her face, not daring to believe that the person in the mirror was herself?

So ugly!

Standing next to Zheng Jiaojiao, they were like heaven and earth. No wonder Ye Yunzhou favored Zheng Jiaojiao.

Zheng Qingning smiled bitterly.
