Reborn in the 1980s: I became a stepmother in the 1980s

Part 147 Memory

So, she had not been reading any books.

Previously, the original owner of her house had left quite a few books behind, and she had selected several to bring over.

After all, it wasn't convenient for her to go out and buy books herself.

Now, as she took a closer look, she realized that they were all literary works and foreign publications.

In the foreign language books, there were many details marked with a fountain pen, the handwriting delicate and neat.

As she kept reading, a strange memory suddenly surfaced in her mind.

She was stunned for quite a while until she was awakened by the voice of her younger son.

"Mom, what kind of book is this?"

Her younger son was holding his completed homework, something he had to do every day recently.

After finishing his homework, he would have his mom check it and then receive praise.

There hadn't been a single moment where he felt that doing homework could bring such joy.

However, today he was very curious because the book in his mom's hand looked very strange, full of combinations of unfamiliar letters that he couldn't understand despite looking at it for a long time.

Mom was staring blankly at the book; could it be very important to her?

The younger son couldn't help but take a few more glances. The dense text full of foreign characters made his eyes hurt.

So he asked curiously.

Si Nian snapped back to reality, her expression somewhat dazed.

She finally understood why the original owner had so many foreign books.

It turned out the original owner's dream was to study abroad.

The original owner had excellent grades, and with her qualifications, studying abroad wasn't difficult.

In those days, studying abroad was challenging. It required not only money but also talent and passing multiple screenings.

However, the original owner met all the criteria but lost out because she had a fiancé.

For Fu Yang, she not only gave up a promising academic career but also abandoned her dream of studying abroad.

Who would have thought it would lead to such an outcome?

No wonder she committed suicide.

Everyone thought she chose to commit suicide because she didn't want to leave the Si family and shamelessly insisted on staying.

But after looking at the notes, Si Nian realized that the original owner was truly heartbroken and had lost the will to live.

She had given up everything for love, only to be abandoned by it in the end.

It's something anyone would find hard to accept.

Si Nian sighed.

The original owner's feelings for Fu Yang were indeed deep, which made her fate even more regrettable.

Unfortunately, she loved the wrong person.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have ended up so tragically.

She came back to her senses and saw the curious look in her younger son's eyes, then glanced at the book.

She remembered that in the rural areas at that time, English wasn't taught yet; only the towns and cities placed some importance on it.

Not to mention the younger son, even the older son probably hadn't been exposed to it.
