Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets novel Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - 2 She is a Fool

It has been three days in the hospital, and the family, already not well-off, saved every bit they could.

"But, the doctor said although it's a minor surgery, you still need to recover well and avoid any complications later," Zhang Hualian disagreed. Despite their poverty, her daughter's well-being was most crucial in her heart.

"Mom, you said I need to recover. It's the same whether I recuperate here or at home," Tang Yue convinced Zhang Hualian, and even spoke to the doctor herself, explaining her family's situation, and the doctor allowed her to be discharged.

"Xiao Yue, you take the bus, I still have some things to handle, I'll come back later. When you get to the village, if you can't walk, just wait for me at the entrance."

At the bus station, to save the 50 cents bus fare, Zhang Hualian told a lie.

"Mom, are you..." Tang Yue sat at the bus station and suddenly realized that Zhang Hualian didn't actually have things to do—it must be to save the bus fare!

From the county to the town, and then from the town to the village, it's dozens of miles!

Even taking the mountain road alone would be deserted.

"Xiao Yue, you haven't fully recovered yet. Can you manage on your own on the bus?" Zhang Hualian looked at her worriedly.

"Uh-huh." Tang Yue nodded. She lowered her head as Zhang Hualian helped her onto the bus and listened to Zhang Hualian's admonishing words. How did she handle this in her previous life?

Back then, she blamed her stepfather Tang Zhengde for not caring about her life, and blamed her mother Zhang Hualian for not accompanying her back together.

She closed her eyes, still seemingly remembering that she didn't see through Zhang Hualian's lie and had a big argument with her.

Tang Yue, oh Tang Yue, even though you were a high school student!

Yet, you lived like a fool, deservedly ruined your life because of a few nice words from Wu Xinming last lifetime.

In 1986, the road back to Shuanghe Town hadn't been fixed yet, it wasn't a smooth cement road, but a rough and uneven mud and pebble road. The bus jolted as if trying to knock all her organs out.

Plus, with motion sickness, once Tang Yue arrived at the town, she felt as feeble as if she had fallen seriously ill.

This was why, in her last life, Tang Yue quarreled with Zhang Hualian. If she were there, even though it would be hard, she would have had someone accompany her, passing her water and tissues.

But having lived once more, Tang Yue realized how terrible she had been in the past.

If it weren't for her body just discharged from the hospital, unable to walk far, she would have preferred to walk home with her mother.

After waiting three to four hours, it was already four or five in the afternoon. Resting against a tree for the shade, Tang Yue finally saw Zhang Hualian's figure.

Originally, what did mom say?

"I got off earlier and got held up in the county, making you wait so long." Zhang Hualian's poor excuse, which the naive Tang Yue at the time believed.

She completely didn't notice that the last bus from the county to the town, even at its latest, arrives by 5:30 pm.

And now, before five, where would the bus have come from?

Tang Yue's gaze fell on Zhang Hualian's patched-up green military shoes, clearly muddied from too much walking. The weather had only cleared up for a day, and there were still muddy pools on some parts of the road.

Tang Zhengde's house is the very last one on the edge, a three-room structure with four doors, quite old, with beams and walls made of pure wood, and the roof covered with blue-gray tiles. Next door is Granny Tang and Tang Zhengde's elder brother Tang Zhengyuan's home. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
