Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 932

Chapter 932: Chapter 805: Dust Returns to Dust, Earth Returns to Earth

Over at the farm, ever since Jiang Jiangyu left, Lin Xuelin, who was in despair for two days straight, suffered many lashes and ultimately collapsed completely. On the vacated long bed, she, feverish and delirious, could not distinguish between reality and dreams, feebly reaching out to grab her mother Chen Jingru’s hand, yet always missing it by just a bit, unable to grasp it.

People came and went in front of her, including her grandmother Gu Ruyi, her grandfather, her father, and many other people she was familiar with, all quietly giving her one glance before turning away.

Only her mother continuously wept for her. She felt hatred, wondering why her mother only cried and did not embrace her? She felt cold, cold and pain all over. No, they all didn’t want her anymore; no one wanted her anymore.

As night fell, weary women gradually came in, each casting a vacant glance at the shadow curled up in the corner before collapsing on the bed, huddling together for warmth, none with the energy to pay more attention.

Too much sympathy had long been scattered by the Northwest’s fierce winds and sand. Here, if not dead, who else was honored to leave? Moreover, sometimes wasn’t death itself a release, a kind of happiness?

Outside, the howling cold wind blew at the corner of the burlap sack serving as a door, with no one uttering a word. Years of high-load labor had long left them exhausted into sleep, entering a dreamland—there was heaven.

When the news of Lin Xuelin’s death reached Chen Jingru, she was holding a cup of hot tea, contemplating her son’s housing issue post-marriage and planning the time and place for meeting the other set of in-laws.

Lin Aiguo, who entered, tightly clenched his fists, shed his disguise, and softly said: "Xiao Lin is gone, our Xiao Lin is really gone."

Chen Jingru, seeing the man not far with reddened eyes, went blank, suddenly collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness.

With a loud "bang," Lin Aiguo could no longer experience the heartbreak of losing a daughter, immediately rushing forward to squat down and pick up his wife, pinching Chen Jingru’s philtrum fiercely until she weakly regained consciousness.

Seeing his wife’s vacant eyes, Lin Aiguo couldn’t help but shed tears, "Mother of the children, don’t be like this, we still have Xiao Hui, our son is waiting for you. If you have hatred blame it on me. It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have left for so many years, I am the one who should have died."

"It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t left, our child wouldn’t have ended up like this. Why didn’t she wait a little longer for me to figure something out? Why didn’t she endure just a bit more? How could she bear to let us, white-haired people, send off a black-haired one..."

"That was our first child. I’m the one who should have died, the one who should have died the most. I shouldn’t have come back and still not cared about her, no matter how disobedient she was, she was still my child. I abandoned her, I hurt her..."

Chen Jingru struggled to stand up, step by step moving into the bedroom, lying down straightforwardly on the bed, staring at the ceiling with wide eyes.

Lin Aiguo held her right hand, "Xiao Ru, say something, don’t be like this."

Chen Jingru closed her eyes without moving.

"Xiao Ru, should I let Xiao Hui come back to keep you company?"

Chen Jingru responded hoarsely, "Don’t tell him."

"Don’t be like this, if you have anger or hatred, vent it on me. I beg you to pull yourself together. It’s all my fault, hit me..."

Chen Jingru lay there silently, no matter how heartbroken; over the years, her tears had already dried. From the moment she abandoned this daughter, she understood she could not keep her, really couldn’t.

How did such a tiny package grow up? She forgot...she was not fit to be a mother. She was the sinner, she was the one who should have died. She shouldn’t have let the child be indulged by that old crone, shouldn’t have worried about the child resenting her happiness.
