In my ears are the joyful sounds of gongs, drums and suona, in front of me is a bright red veil, and on my body is a bright red wedding dress. In the small and crowded space, even breathing feels difficult.

As soon as Bai Chi opened his eyes, he saw all this and was even stunned for a moment. He felt that this situation seemed somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"Wow, Master, you're getting married again, this time to... Oh, oh, oh? Fuck! Your dead husband?"

Xiao Hei was still watching the fun during the first half of the sentence, but he got furious during the second half, with his hair, ears and tail all standing up.

'Hmm? What do you mean?'

Just as he was wondering, the original owner's memory came back.

I took a quick look and was instantly shocked.

What Xiao Hei said was absolutely right, this is really like marrying a dead person!

The original owner and the richest man in the county were engaged since childhood.

Twenty years ago, an old Taoist priest who was traveling here suddenly broke into the Zhong family, the richest man, and started talking a lot of nonsense.

The gist of it is that a noble person from the Zhong family was born 500 meters north of the city. If the noble person cannot be allowed to marry into the Zhong family, the Zhong family will never have peace.

Although the old man of the Zhong family scoffed at this, the old Taoist priest, who appeared and left in a crazy manner, suddenly became the imperial teacher of the dynasty ten years ago.

Later, it was rumored that the old Taoist priest was actually only forty years old, but he was unkempt, which gave people the illusion of being old.

As a result, the Zhong family began to pay attention to this matter again, and even found the "noble person" who had been disdainful before.

Not to mention, although the Zhong family did not believe the old Taoist's words at first, they remembered every word the old Taoist said about the location and time of the noble person clearly.

And this noble person is naturally the original owner.

Upon checking, it turned out that he was born on the same day, month and year as the second son of the Zhong family, and just turned twenty years old this year.

In order to ensure that a noble person would enter the family, the Zhong family directly made a marriage contract with the original owner.

In order to prevent the original owner's family from breaking the contract, the Zhong family even proposed marriage early and set a wedding date.

The original owner was just an ordinary farmer's child, and he had no reaction to this sudden marriage proposal. After all, he was only ten years old at the time.

The Zhong family even specially asked the second young master Zhong to visit the original owner's home several times, so the two of them had met in advance.

However, just three days before the wedding, the second young master Zhong was having a secret rendezvous with a woman from a brothel in the lake and accidentally fell into the lake and drowned.

Even though the person died, the engagement still had to continue, so the Zhong family went directly to pick her up and marry her to the deceased second young master.

At this time, the original owner's family did not want to marry her off, but the betrothal gift from ten years ago had been spent by the original owner's parents.

Back then, the Zhong family had given a huge betrothal gift with the intention of making it impossible for the Zhong family to withdraw from the engagement.

The poor man suddenly became rich, and it was easy for him to become arrogant when he saw the betrothal gifts sent by the Zhong family, including various gold, silver, jade, and gold ingots. He even developed a gambling habit in recent years.

The betrothal gift given back then had long been lost by the original owner's parents in gambling, so they could only marry their son off to a dead man.

Even the wedding dress was sent by the Zhong family.

The only comforting thing is probably that the original owner's worry about being buried alive did not happen, but she stayed in the Zhong family as the second young master's widow.

He even lived a pretty good life in the Zhong family. He received a monthly salary, and all his expenses were based on the standards of the Second Young Lady Zhong. He also had special maids and servants to serve him in the courtyard.

If it were just like this for the rest of my life, it wouldn't be so bad. After all, it's much better than before. I don't have to worry about food and drink, and I can even read and write. It's so comfortable.

But unfortunately, things are often not as we wish.

The original owner really lived a good life in the Zhong family, and his parents, who were addicted to gambling, were also concerned about him.

The couple spent all day thinking about how to extort money from their married son so that they could continue gambling.

Because of her parents' gambling, the original owner had not had a peaceful day in the past ten years. Not only did her parents gamble, they even told her younger brothers and sisters that in the future the original owner would be the second young wife of the richest man in the county and would have all the money she wanted.

This led to the original owner's family developing lazy habits of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and they relied on the original owner for the rest of their lives.

The original owner was the eldest in the family, and because his parents were gambling and ignored the family, he had been taking care of his younger siblings alone.

In addition, every time my parents lost money, they would come home in a bad mood and beat and scold the original owner.

Due to various reasons, the original owner was willing to leave her home and her parents, even if it meant marrying a dead person.

Unfortunately, the original owner did not really get rid of his blood-sucking family. Instead, they followed him like a shadow, just like vampires.

The original owner gave all his monthly salary to his parents, but it was far from enough. They scolded him for being unfilial and saying that he no longer cared about his parents since he had a good life.

The original owner had no other choice but to sell his jewelry and other things. However, his compromise did not win the understanding of his parents, brothers and sisters, but instead they intensified their exploitation.

In the end, even his parents forced the original owner to buy a large courtyard with two entrances in the county town for his younger brother and marry the younger sister of the Zhong family to his younger brother.

Not only that, the original owner's sister is also going to be married to the eldest son of the Zhong family, who will also be the next head of the Zhong family.

The Zhong family had actually known about the original owner's parents' actions during this period for a long time. Mother Zhong had originally hoped that the original owner would resist and refuse, but who knew that the original owner would be so soft-hearted.

Even cowardly.

So Mother Zhong could only remind him herself that he was now a member of the Zhong family. The original owner had no dowry when she got married, and her betrothal gifts had been used up by her family. Moreover, his parents had a son and a daughter, so the original owner had every reason to reject their unreasonable demands.
