Chapter 1
In the winter of 1994, in a tube-shaped building in Hai City.

The cold wind blew in, and the long corridor was like an empty sausage casing, filled with wind. The long and narrow corridor was used as a kitchen, with simple kitchen utensils placed at both ends, and a lot of coal briquettes and waste paper boxes placed in a mess. The walls had turned black due to years of smoke, and only a few dim light bulbs provided a little brightness.

It was dinner time and every household started preparing dinner.

The corridor was filled with the aroma of food, accompanied by thick smoke, and the crackling sounds of spatulas and iron pots colliding one after another.

Meng Yulan was awakened by these noises.

When she opened her eyes, she was stunned.

Where is this?

She was lying in a simple room. The things around her looked more and more familiar. She finally remembered that this was where she lived more than 20 years ago.

Are you dreaming?

She was clearly lying in the Lu family's villa, with the divorce agreement placed at the head of her bed. It was sent by Lu Shulin. She remembered that she signed her name with trembling hands and then fell asleep.

How come when I woke up, I ended up back here?

The room was as cold as an ice cellar. Meng Yulan's hands were frozen outside the quilt. She rubbed her hands and then pinched them. It hurt.

It's not a dream.

Meng Yulan took a deep breath and quickly got up from the bed.

But before she could stand up, she felt dizzy and almost fell down. If she hadn't quickly grabbed the cabinet next to her, she would have hit the edge of the bed.

Her stomach growled and a strong feeling of hunger surged up. She felt like her stomach had opened a huge mouth and the churning of stomach acid reminded her that she had not eaten for a long time.

But the aroma of food wafting in from outside made her drool.

She hadn't felt hungry in many years.

She held onto the cabinet and sat down on the bed again.

There were voices outside the house.

"Did the Meng family member not come home today?"

"Yes, he doesn't come home all day long and doesn't care about his daughter's life or death."

"Both parents don't care. This child will suffer in the future."

"If you ask me, it would be better if Yulan's father didn't come back. At least the child lived with her aunt and had food to eat. Now that her father is back, her aunt doesn't care about her anymore, and she doesn't even have a bite to eat."

"You said...Yulan's father came back, but his uncle didn't arrange a job for him? Otherwise, what can he do after coming back from prison? How can he earn money to live?"

"I heard that Yulan's mother gave birth to a son. I don't know how he is doing now. I haven't seen her take care of Yulan in the past few years."

Meng Yulan's head felt a little swollen.

But he soon realized that he was reborn.

She went back to 1994, when she was only 18 years old and still in her third year of high school.

If you say this is the time she least wants to recall, she still remembers that year, her father came back from prison and was idle for a while. Her uncle arranged a job for him, but he quarreled with his co-workers and went drinking every few days. As a result, he lost his job. Because of drinking, he met a rich woman in a dance hall. Not long after they got together, the rich woman's husband who was doing business in another place came back and caught her father in bed and broke his leg.
