The Educated Youth Beauty Has a System [The 1970S]

Qin Zhi was reborn, back at the moment she'd just gone to the countryside as an educated youth. Well, no big deal. She'd read plenty of novels, so she knew about being reborn. She just couldn't figure out why she'd been reborn. Didn't it usually happen to people who died with regrets, who were consumed by resentment, or who had some huge unfinished business from their past life? What about her? People around her often said she'd had a hard life, but she'd never thought so. She'd always been content. She was the middle child, with a beloved older sister and a younger brother who was the apple of their parents' eyes. Her parents never paid much attention to her. But it wasn't as if they'd ever refused to give her what she needed, was it? Her sister and brother got all their parents' love and property, and each took over one parent's job in the city. They lived carefree lives. Still, when she needed help, they did give her a hand, didn't they? Her husband divorced her so he could return to the city, but he left her their child and the family's savings. The child was still a helpless baby, and the savings... well, they could buy a few meals of coarse grain. She had to raise the child and work in the fields, but they got by. It was just a little tiring. But life is tiring for everyone, isn't it? When the child grew up and needed to go to school and be registered as a local resident, her ex-husband helped with that too, and his new wife didn't object. Her ex-husband and his second wife never had children, and their son got along well with his father and stepmother. Of course, the boy was dutiful to her too, and even brought her to the city to enjoy her retirement. Everything had turned out fine. So why had she been reborn? She'd always been content with what she had and thought her life was pretty good. She couldn't think of anything she deeply regretted. Oh, so it was because of the jade pendant. She'd spent all her savings on it at an antique shop, intending to give it to the daughter-in-law she would meet for the first time. But she never got the chance to give it to her. When they were supposed to meet for the first time, her son chose to go to his father's house instead. Through a twist of fate, she was reborn and got a System. Hey, don't assume she was too old to know what a System was. She knew all about them. She was a fashionable old lady who'd read tons of novels and seen plenty of the world! System: ...No, you don't. You couldn't possibly guess what kind of System I am! One day, Qin Zhi, whose life was getting better and better, received a letter from her mother. Her mother said her sister was getting married. Since her sister and brother had taken over the family's jobs but were still only getting trainee wages, they couldn't afford a decent dowry. She wanted Qin Zhi to figure something out. Qin Zhi remembered this. In her past life, she'd gone to great lengths, borrowing from everyone she knew until she'd scraped together a hundred yuan and sent it home so her sister could have a grand wedding. Then she'd eaten wild-vegetable cakes for two whole years to pay it all back. Qin Zhi smacked her lips. Wild-vegetable cakes weren't tasty. She searched for a long time and found the fountain pen her sister had given her before she went to the countryside. Its nib was already split. With great solemnity, she wrote a single sentence: “Mom, your daughter doesn't have enough to eat or warm clothes to wear. Please send me some money to save my life! Urgent!” Surely a dowry wasn't more important than her life. In this life, Qin Zhi thought she wouldn't have anything to do with her ex-husband anymore. Who could have known that one day he'd turn up in front of her again? Ex-husband: “Zhi Zhi, this hair clip suits you. I scrimped and saved for a month to buy it. When you wear it, it'll be like I'm always by your side, watching over you.” Qin Zhi: “...Ugh, get away!” Qin Zhi politely turned down the advances of her ex-husband when he was young. His words struck her as a little too slick. Maybe it was because she'd gotten older? Later, Qin Zhi realized that wasn't it. He was simply the wrong person for her. A lot more happened after that, and Qin Zhi made choices different from the ones she'd made in her past life. As time went on, her life got better and better, and she realized that different choices could lead to different lives. The most important thing in life is to treat yourself well and make choices that benefit you. Reader's Guide: 1. The heroine is reborn and has a System. 2. Includes feng shui and the supernatural. 3.
