Hua Rong does not dwell on the past, nor does she inquire about the future. She only wishes to survive.
P.S.: No romantic pairing, though many have one-sided feelings for the female lead.
Shuangfeng Village, as its name suggests, is a small village nestled between two mountain peaks.
It is quite a distance from the town, and apart from a few fields, most of the villagers rely on these two mountains for their livelihood.
The sun hadn't fully risen yet, and it was still dark, but everyone in the village was already up.
"Oh dear! Help! Help! Someone's dead! Old Sun's daughter-in-law is dead!"
A woman's shrill voice suddenly broke the silence of the village.
Upon hearing this sound, Sun Youcai, who lives at the east end of the village, came out of his house.
Because it was the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the middle of the hottest period of summer, the weather was extremely hot.
Sun Youcai was only wearing a gray coarse cloth shirt, with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing half of his dark and muscular arm.
Even though it was still morning, the muggy air made people uncomfortable.
"Wife, I think I just heard..." Sun Youcai looked surprised, unsure if what he heard was true.
"Damn it, Lin Chunhua really isn't in the house. Something must have really happened to her!"
A woman wearing a blue-gray coarse cloth jacket rushed out of a nearby room, her face showing a bad expression and her brows looking somewhat irritable.
Sun Youcai and Wang Defen exchanged a glance and then quickly ran outside!
"Get away! Get away!"
Sun Youcai and Wang Defen ran to the foot of Nanfeng Mountain and saw a group of people gathered there. Their hearts sank.
"Sun Youcai, you've arrived! Come quick, it seems your daughter-in-law has fallen and died! What a tragedy!"
As soon as Zhou Youwen saw Sun Youcai and Wang Defen at the west end of the village, he quickly said...
In fact, Zhou Youwen's wife, Wang Xianhua, did not have a good relationship with Wang Defen, so the two families were not close.
But with this dead person involved, there was no time to be angry.
Upon hearing this, Wang Defen's expression changed.
She remembered how she had scolded Lin Chunhua last night for being lazy, lame, and always looking gloomy.
I hope they won't jump off a mountain and die because of this!
"Judging from the appearance, he must have died from an accidental fall. Has Village Chief Rong arrived yet?"
"She was holding a rabbit in her arms. Could she have died trying to catch it?!"
"I'm afraid so, Wang Defen. You know your daughter-in-law has difficulty walking, and sending her up the mountain is practically sending her to her death."
Ignoring the veiled meaning in the words of those around her, Wang Defen squeezed in and saw Lin Chunhua leaning motionless against a large rock, holding a bloody dead rabbit in her arms.
Her head was hanging down, her hair was messy and covered her face.
Judging from its appearance, it really looked like it was dead!
The person who found her was probably able to recognize her because of her bright red dress made of fine material.
It takes several cloth ration coupons to buy such good fabric.
Wang Defen's face turned pale, and she quickly rushed over.
It was obvious that Lin Chunhua was already in this position when she was discovered. No one in the village dared to approach her, fearing that the Sun family would hold her hostage.
"Chunhua, Chunhua!" Wang Defen called out twice, but Lin Chunhua didn't respond. She then collapsed to the ground.
Sun Youcai squeezed in, and upon seeing this, the grown man turned pale.
You should know that when Wang Defen was scolding Lin Chunhua yesterday, she didn't keep her voice down at all.
In other words, everyone in Shuangfeng Village knew that Lin Chunhua had been scolded.
If Lin Chunhua really dies, the blame might fall on Wang Defen.
Thinking about the Lin family's status in the neighboring village, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Lin Chunhua has only been married for half a month and she's already like this. Won't those crazy people in the Lin family come and cause trouble?
"Cough cough."
Just as the villagers were still sympathizing and discussing, two coughs suddenly rang out.
Immediately, the surroundings fell silent.
Because the one coughing was none other than Lin Chunhua, who was leaning against the big rock.
Before everyone could react, they saw Lin Chunhua, who had been "dead," raise her head.
Her face was covered in sweat, and her hair was stuck to her face, making her look somewhat dirty and disheveled.
However, her pretty face was still recognizable.
Especially her large, misty eyes made her look pitiful.
Some villagers then realized that Lin Chunhua was not dead after all.
Then, she began to feel sorry for the eldest son of the Sun family.
The wife he married had difficulty walking.
But her face is absolutely gorgeous.
Before they could even consummate their marriage, he...died.
Even as a ghost, I wouldn't be content with that.
"you--"
Who is it?
Before Lin Chunhua could finish her sentence, she fainted amidst the terrified expression of the unfamiliar middle-aged woman in front of her.
In her dazed state, she seemed to hear some kind of mechanical sound.

======
It was midday, and the sun was shining brightly.
Wang Defen came out of the house, strode over the threshold, and splashed the water on the west side of the yard.
With a hint of impatience in his eyes, he looked out into the courtyard and shouted.
"Fifth brother, come back soon! We're going to town soon, so save your energy!"
"Mom, I heard you!" A childish voice came from outside, and a boy of about ten years old ran in and threw himself into Wang Defen's arms.
