The Black Lotus Village Girl of the 1980s

This story does not involve romance. When the female lead was 15, she saw how poor her hometown was, how the education system was in decline, and how there was a shortage of teachers. She gave up the chance to attend high school and spent a year starting a shrimp-farming business. She handed the money she earned to the government to hire excellent teachers for the town. A year later, she enrolled in high school.

New story: "In the Sixties, I Married a Roughneck Company Commander to Fight Desertification" is now updating. Please add it to your favorites!

Li Lanshi was reborn at 20, when she was a sent-down youth. Back then, she worked diligently to prevent and control desertification and plant trees, but she married Han Chao, a hopeless romantic.

Han Chao was the head of a forest farm, with the rank of company commander. His one true love was a widow at the farm. She had parents-in-law above her and three children below, and Han Chao considered her a rare, virtuous woman. Han Chao was at the widow's beck and call, practically her summoned spirit beast. He looked after her in every little thing and even wanted to give her half his salary.

Li Lanshi married Han Chao after they were discovered lying together while drunk. They got married and had a child.

But marriage and a child did not make Han Chao give up his true love. He even said something to Li Lanshi that would go down in infamy: He would rather make every woman in the world cry than let one woman be sad.

Their child cried desperately from hunger, but Han Chao took the only food in the house and gave it to the widow so her three children could eat their fill. Unexpectedly, his and Li Lanshi's child starved to death.

Ignoring Li Lanshi's grief over losing her child, Han Chao asked her for a divorce and said that he had married her in the first place for the purpose of divorcing her, so the widow would not feel she was beneath him.

Li Lanshi went mad, took a knife, and hacked Han Chao. She then spent more than ten years in prison.

After being reborn, Li Lanshi found that Han Chao was different from how he had been in her previous life. He no longer clung to the widow. Instead, he was always looking at her, his eyes shining brightly. But Li Lanshi was scarred by the past and was always cross with him.

Han Chao said to the political instructor, "Comrade Li Lanshi is good in every way and can endure hardship, but her language skills aren't very good. She speaks in bursts of one or two words. Everyone should do their best to help Comrade Li Lanshi and spend more time talking with her to develop her language skills. Otherwise, the less she speaks, the weaker her language skills will become."

The political instructor looked incredulous. "That can't be right! Comrade Li Lanshi speaks at length and eloquently. She often gave speeches when she was in school. Why does she only speak to you in bursts of one or two words?"

#$@^&**&!#%&**%$#@^^*#@!^*&^%**^%$#@!$%& (The scene was far too awkward, so a mosaic was used to conceal what was going on in Han Chao's mind.)

Before long, the day when they had gotten drunk in her previous life came around again. Li Lanshi made an excuse to leave. Once this day passed, she and Han Chao would have nothing to do with each other ever again.

When Li Lanshi returned the next day, Han Chao stopped her and said he had waited for her all day yesterday.

Li Lanshi was instantly furious. He had ruined her previous life, and now he wanted to ruin this one too. She kicked Han Chao hard in the butt and cursed, "Get lost, you hopeless romantic. Don't come near me."
