Chapter 135: Telling the Story in the Book
Tong Jia let Tao Junle hold her and cry for a while. Although she didn't know what he had experienced in the past few days, she could guess from his appearance that he must have encountered a big thing.
When Tao Junle had cried enough and wanted to cling to Tong Jia's arms and snuggle into her arms for comfort like in her previous life, she suddenly remembered that their situations were almost the same as in her previous life.
Tao Junle let go of Tong Jia somewhat embarrassedly and wanted to say something, but facing the little kid in front of him, he couldn't even bring himself to call her "sister".
Just call me by my name?
He didn't dare.
After a minute of awkwardness, Tong Jia spoke first and asked, "Has anything major happened to you in the past few days?"
"Sister..." Although Tong Jia's voice was childish, the caring tone in her voice was no different from that in her previous life. After hearing this, Tao Junle no longer had any concerns. After calling her "sister", she told her all about her recent experiences.
Tong Jia listened and patted Tao Junle's back with some empathy, hoping to give him comfort and support in this way.
After Tao Junle finished speaking, Tong Jia asked, "After your parents' cremation ceremony is over, will you return to Star City?
You may not know this now..."
"Sister, I won't go back to Star City. I will collect my father's pension here, and then take my parents' ashes and wait for the ship that will evacuate Chinese citizens from China.
When I return to China, I will definitely find a way to find you in Beijing.
And I probably know more than you do." Tao Junle seemed to have guessed that Tong Jia was going to talk about the situation in the next few years, so he wanted to tell Tong Jia his plans and the secrets he had hidden in his previous life.
"What? What do you know? Did you read about the evacuation from the book on the second floor of the RV?
What is written in those books is not comprehensive, and many of the information is kept secret.
My current identity will be very sensitive in a few years, and you especially can’t come back with your identity…” Tong Jia thought Tao Junle hadn’t realized the seriousness of the problem yet, so she wanted to give him some scientific advice.
Unexpectedly, Tao Junle took action and made a sign language gesture for silence.
Tong Jia suddenly stopped talking and looked at Tao Junle.
After Tao Junle hugged Tong Jia and cried twice, his mood had calmed down a lot.
He calmly told Tong Jia, "Sister, I...actually, in my last life, during that last period, I had a premonition that our lives were coming to an end.
I also have a feeling that in this life we can still enter a book together...
That book had been on the bedside table on the second floor of the RV, one of those books you printed out yourself.
Do you still remember that time when I not only read books every day, but sometimes I also copied and memorized them?
Because, I found that there is a girl with the same name as you in the book,
The girl, also called Tong Jia, was born into a family of gentry in the south, but her father died young, and her mother died suddenly in the middle of the night two months after her father's death.
The little girl was raised by her grandmother.
Her grandmother was not kind to her. After her parents died, she found the unit of her youngest son and voluntarily gave up all the pension, only asking the unit of her youngest son to give her original position to her eldest son.
The company already had a succession policy, but the little girl was too young to take over, so the company agreed to the grandmother's request.
After the eldest son successfully got the job, the little girl's grandmother followed suit and let the eldest daughter-in-law take over the younger daughter-in-law's job.
In this way, the old lady and her eldest son's family all became registered residents of Beijing.
For the sake of face, the family was not very nice to the little girl, but they did not mistreat her too badly in life. They also often brainwashed her and made her feel grateful.
This little girl is also a real person, and she actually believed those nonsense.
She was an only child and her father died in the line of duty. Originally, she did not need to go to the countryside, but her aunt did not want her daughter to go to the countryside, so she changed the girl's age and sent her there.
As soon as the little girl arrived in the countryside, her family stopped pretending and stopped sending her anything, not even replying to the letters for help she sent home.
Not long after the little girl arrived at the farm in Guangxi Province, she was dragged away while working to cut rubber at night and has never been heard from since.
Because the little girl is not the protagonist, all the little things we know about her are learned from other people's conversations.
I copied it down and memorized it, hoping to find a way to change the little girl's fate.
Sister, are you from a southern gentry family?
After listening to Tao Junle's story, Tong Jia finally understood why Grandma Rong said that she had made the best arrangements for Tong Jia.
At that time, I even blamed Grandma Rong for not even telling me what the script was and saying it was the best arrangement.
It turns out that they had already given the script to the very talkative Tao Junle.
Tong Jia nodded and said, "They're from a family of gentry in the south, and my father did die young. But... my grandmother wants to take my uncle away from my father's job, but I guess that won't work."
That so-called uncle wanted to kill me, so I just took care of him."
Tao Junle was stunned when he heard this, and then he thought that in his previous life, except for the hesitation when Tong Jia killed someone for the first time, she was always calm and decisive when facing those malicious people.
He laughed and said, "I am narrow-minded. If I had known that my sister could use such a method to solve the problem once and for all, I should have told her about this earlier.
In my previous life, I worried…”
"I know we were all alive and well at that time. You're worried that if you tell it, you'll get into trouble, right?
Never mind, I don't care about that.
By the way, you saw my name, what about you?
What is your fate in the book?
"Does the book mention why you didn't avoid this experience earlier?" Tong Jia asked with concern.
Tao Junle sighed and said in frustration, "I recognized the wrong person."
"Ah? How could he recognize the wrong person?" Tong Jia asked in confusion.
Tao Junle explained: "The hero in the book was on the farm in Guangxi Province where the little girl went to work. Because his father was the farm manager, he went to the farm under his father's arrangement.
The male protagonist has three followers, one of whom is called Tao Le.
As soon as I saw the name, I thought that Tao Le was me.
Tao Le's family situation, living conditions and personality were all figured out from the cracks in the paper.
I was also thinking that when that little girl named Tong Jia goes to the countryside, that will be the time when we meet again. At that time, I can use the male protagonist's power to protect you and will never let you go to the most remote place in the rubber plantation to tap rubber late at night.
In this way, we can be like the male and female protagonists in the future. When the college entrance examination is resumed, we can naturally get into college and be together.
As a result, after I was born with these memories, I discovered that my origin was actually different from Tao Le in the book, and my name was Tao Junle.
The most important thing is that it is clearly your RV, but I can actually get in, and the operation of everything inside is exactly the same as when you brought me in directly.
But you are not in it.
I am far away in the United States and have no way to contact you.
Later, I asked my parents several times to return to China, and even... I even told them about what happened to you in the book.
Of course, I told them that I saw a little girl from China asking me for help in my dream. In order to verify it, I wanted to go back to China to take a look.
But my father told me that regardless of whether my dream was true or false, even if everything in the dream was true.
But now there is no report that China has a policy of sending people to the countryside. In my dream, I was only told that she was born in a gentry family in the south. The south is so big that it is like looking for a needle in a haystack just by a name.
Even if we go to the capital to look for him, we will have no legitimate reason to do so.
He promised me that if China really announced any policy of going to the countryside, he would take me back to find you.
I am still a minor and cannot get a visa without my parents' consent, so I have no choice but to compromise.
But when I returned to my grandfather's house with my parents, I suddenly remembered something.
That is the farm where the male and female protagonists and Tong Jia in the book went to. It is an overseas Chinese farm. It mentions an overseas Chinese named Tao. It was this person who provided the male protagonist and the second female lead with the start-up capital for their business.
However, this person only appeared at the very end, when the male protagonist and the second female lead were in a business war. The second female lead mentioned this person, and then the male protagonist became furious and used some despicable means to directly take the life of the second female lead and took over all of her industries.
After arriving in Star City, I became even more certain that I was not Tao Le, the hero's henchman, but the overseas Chinese surnamed Tao who was mentioned at the end."
"This overseas Chinese gave his assets to the leading actor and the second female lead, so he..." Tong Jia was almost certain that he would not have a good ending.
He smiled, sat down at the table, patted Tao Junle on the shoulder, and said, "What should we do? Lele, why is it that no matter where we are, our fates are so tragic, and we are all destined to die young?"
"No, sister, no.
The overseas Chinese in the book gave his assets in the United States to the second female lead who often brought him food, and gave his assets in Star City to the male protagonist who often treated his injuries and provided convenience when he was working.
Because those things are too valuable, he cannot take them away directly, whether he leaves the United States or Star City, otherwise it will attract the attention of the local government.
But I don't need it. When I left the United States, I converted all the money I earned from stock trading and the assets my father entrusted to me into gold and stored it in the RV.
When we left Xingcheng, except for our house which was under my grandfather's name and could not be sold, I persuaded my mother to buy all the other assets into gold and jewelry.
We will never give those two people with ulterior motives the opportunity to get their hands on those properties."
"Someone with ulterior motives? Generally speaking, aren't male protagonists good guys? The second female lead will fall in love with him but cannot get him, and then turn evil and become the villain.
"What? In that book you read, the hero and the second female lead aren't good people. Is it possible that only the heroine is a good person?" Tong Jia asked curiously.
Tao Junle thought about it carefully before answering, "How should I put it? The protagonist was indeed a good guy at the beginning. He wanted to help anyone in need. If he could be in charge of the family's food coupons, he might be the one to provide medical treatment and food to the overseas Chinese surnamed Tao.
But although his father was the farm manager and there were seven or eight children in his family, he was neither the oldest nor the youngest. Even if his father had used connections to get him a job on the farm, his job would only be slightly better than others, but all other conditions would be the same.
After going home to visit his family twice, he changed completely for some unknown reason. From being a good guy, he became a bit picky and stubborn. His purpose of helping others was no longer pure. He would not care about anyone who did not help him.
The overseas Chinese named Tao gave the assets of Star City to the male protagonist because he was threatened by him when his foot was injured and he urgently needed hemostatic medicine.
But he was worried that as long as the overseas Chinese named Tao was alive, other people would know about Xingcheng's assets.
In order to monopolize those assets, he found a way to make the overseas Chinese named Tao have an accident and prevented others from rescuing him.
At the last moment of his life, the overseas Chinese surnamed Tao figured out why he had suffered such a fate.
He left the bulk of his assets, all his assets in the United States, to the second female lead who fed him water.
What can I say about the second female lead? She didn't turn evil in the end.
She is an even more of a pushover than the male protagonist at the beginning, because she is strong-willed and has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, which always causes people to misunderstand her good intentions.
Her father was the deputy director of the farm. He was indeed interested in the male protagonist at the beginning, and she was the first to notice that the male protagonist had changed.
She fed water to the overseas Chinese named Tao, actually she wanted to keep him alive so that the male protagonist would not have to bear the consequences of his death.
Afterwards, he did not expose or report the male protagonist because they grew up together.
Whether it was the heroine or Tong Jia in the book, she had patiently taught both of them how to do their work.
But these two people...
One is a delicate lady and the other is a sickly person, neither of them has learned anything.
She felt that teaching these two people was a waste of her work time, so she might as well do more herself, which would also reduce the burden on those two people.
After the male and female protagonists were together, although she felt sad, she didn't do anything bad.
Later, she went to study in the United States. She remembered what the overseas Chinese surnamed Tao said before his death, so she tried to verify it with a try-it attitude, and she really got that large sum of property.
From then on, she began to feel uneasy and thought that justice should be done to the overseas Chinese surnamed Tao.
When she returned to China, she originally wanted to persuade the male protagonist to surrender himself, but she found that the male and female protagonists were already married, had children, and formed a happy family.
She flinched again.
It just so happened that her company became a competitor of the male protagonist's company. Her company was clearly sure to win, but she seemed to have lost her mind and insisted on asking the male protagonist out for negotiations, and specifically mentioned an overseas Chinese named Tao.
The second female lead actually thought that since the overseas Chinese named Tao gave her the assets, she had the qualifications to forgive the male lead on behalf of the overseas Chinese named Tao.
She actually talked about tolerance and understanding in front of the male protagonist with such a brazen attitude, and even hoped that the male protagonist would pay for building a tomb for the overseas Chinese named Tao and his parents, which could be considered as atonement.
This will not affect the happy life of the hero and heroine.
The male protagonist agreed at that time and expressed a little affection for her.
After confirming that she had no evidence, the male protagonist found someone to deal with her.
In the end, the hero not only took over all her property, but also lived happily with her forever."
