Song Dingxiang [Completed]

C1. Song Family's Lilac

Chapter 1

Song Dingxiang lay pale on the bedding, with a slight fever. Only the thick bedding wrapped around her could make her feel somewhat comfortable.

Beside her, Fang Shi was busy tearing up old clothes while chatting incessantly, "The Xu family is really not good people, and the Zhou family is even worse! Your grandfather must have been blind to have arranged for you to marry into the Xu family. They just pushed you away as soon as something went wrong. What are you going to do in the future? And the Zhou, well, Tiezhu's child is not bad, but the rest of them are difficult to deal with. They are always trying to take advantage. Dingxiang, you're only fourteen this year, you don't have to worry about not being able to marry, but you can't be soft-hearted... Oh, my heart aches thinking about it..."

Song Dingxiang raised the corner of her lips and smiled, "Mom, let's not talk about this anymore. The more you mention it, the worse you feel."

Fang Shi gave her a stern look and said, "You too, it's not the first time you went to wash clothes. How did you end up falling into the river? Tiezhu's child is indeed good, but it's a shame. If not for his family, this marriage would have been a good match. And you, because the engagement with the Xu family was called off, you tried to hang yourself, scaring your father and me to death. You are not allowed to do that again, do you understand?"

Song Dingxiang let out a soft sigh, unsure of what to say.

She wasn't actually Song Dingxiang herself, but a wandering soul that had crossed over into this body.

Originally named Song Dingxiang, she was born in the old society. Her family owned a small soy sauce factory and had some wealth, and she had received an education.

But then her father was killed by the Japanese on a business trip, and her mother, upon hearing the news, fell ill and passed away within half a year, leaving only her at eighteen, and her thirteen-year-old brother and eight-year-old sister.

With her immediate family gone, a pack of relatives showed their true greedy faces, eager to drive them out and take over the soy sauce factory that brought in money every day. She had to drop out of school, grit her teeth, and struggle to keep the factory running, taking care of her siblings.

She never thought of marrying, fearing that her siblings would be mistreated after she married. It wasn't until the establishment of the New China, the nationalization of the soy sauce factory, and its eventual repurchase by them, with her siblings taking on more responsibilities, that she finally felt some relief.

Little did she know that as soon as that weight was lifted, her exhausted body could no longer bear it, quickly giving out.

At only forty-something, Song Dingxiang closed her eyes in the hospital, but her soul didn't find its way to the supposed hell. Instead, she lingered around her brother and sister, watching as the soy sauce factory thrived, creating its own brand.

She observed her country becoming stronger and more prosperous, drifting as her siblings aged, their children grew up and started their own families, only then realizing how weakened her soul had become.

She thought she would leave without any worries, but to her surprise, when she opened her eyes, she found herself in the body of a fourteen-year-old girl.

This girl was also named Song Dingxiang, with a fiery personality. She had been plotted against and thrown into the river, only to be saved by Zhou Tiezhu, the foster son of the Zhou family in the same village.

When the Xu family, who had been engaged to Song Dingxiang, found out about this incident, the eldest son Xu Xiucai immediately accused Song Dingxiang of being defiled by a man and unworthy of him, promptly calling off the engagement.
