Liu Lu woke up to a chorus of curses.

"You damn jinx! The sun's already high in the sky, and you're still not up to do any work? Are you trying to starve my baby?"

"Grandma, Mom hurt her leg yesterday, so let her rest a little longer today. I'll make breakfast."

"You worthless good-for-nothing, what can you do? Get up here and go cut grass."

"Who the hell is yelling outside my house!" Liu Lu got up and started yelling at people before she even opened her eyes.

Yesterday, I sparred with my fellow disciples. I didn't fall asleep until four or five in the morning, when it was barely dawn. But before I could get any sleep, someone started whispering and shouting in my ear.

Liu Lu felt a wave of frustration and slowly opened her eyes.

Huh, where am I? What's with this thatched hut?

The first thing you see is a scene of utter destitution; the walls are plastered with mud, but many grass leaves are sprouting from the mud.

The room wasn't very big. There was a bed made of two wooden planks, and some straw was laid on the bed. He slept on the straw.

I covered myself with an old, patched-up coat. My feet were already a little numb from the cold.

Liu Lu could hardly believe her eyes.

Before she could get a better look, the thatched door had already been kicked open.

"You damned jinx, you killed my son. And now you dare to curse me? You little hussy, you don't want to stay in this house anymore? Fine, then get out of here with your little good-for-nothing."

A burly old woman appeared in front of Liu Lu, her face full of disdain.

"Grandma, Grandma, Mom is injured. I'll do the work. I'll do all of Mom's work."

A small, thin figure appeared behind the old woman.

She didn't dare pull the old woman too hard, only tugging at the hem of her clothes cautiously.

"You little good-for-nothing, don't touch my clothes. They've brought bad luck to me."

The old woman slapped away the hand that was tugging at her clothes.

"ah."

The small figure quickly withdrew his hand, rubbing the back of his hand that had been slapped.

Liu Lu suddenly felt a headache coming on, and a flood of memories rushed into her mind.

Her original name was also Liu Lu, and she was an orphan from the next village. She only had an uncle in the village who indulged in all sorts of vices, including eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring.

The old woman gave her uncle 10 eggs.

One family married her without paying a single penny in dowry.

The old woman only had a premature son, whom she spoiled from a young age. He was unruly and physically weak, but he indulged in drinking, gambling, and whoring. He also liked to fight chickens and curse dogs outside. In addition, this old woman was always stingy, and no one wanted to marry her even though she was over 20. That's why she set her sights on the original owner of this body.

One time, while strolling on the street, he carelessly offended someone he couldn't afford to offend and was beaten to death in the street.

From then on, the old woman and her family believed that he had cursed their son to death, and they beat and scolded him every day, pushing all the heavy and tiring work at home onto him.

The day before Liu Lu transmigrated, the original owner was carrying firewood up the mountain when, due to long-term malnutrition, she stumbled and tumbled down the mountain.

After being discovered by the villagers, she was carried back. The old woman had long hated Liu Lu and kept muttering that such a scourge would live a thousand years, but she didn't call a doctor for the original owner.

Unexpectedly, the original owner died in the middle of the night, allowing Liu Lu to transmigrate into the body of the body.

Just as Old Mrs. Liu was about to start cursing again, Old Mr. Liu came in from the doorway.

"You old woman, why aren't you cooking? What are you making such a racket at home for? You're just making a spectacle of yourselves for the neighbors to see."

Old Mrs. Liu was very afraid of Old Man Liu, so she shrank back and turned to vent her anger on Liu Lu.

"You jinx, hurry up and cook! Do you expect this old woman to serve you?"

After saying that, he turned around and followed Old Man Liu out.

Liu Lu looked at the approaching small figure with complicated emotions.

That was the original owner's daughter. Because she was a girl, she was not valued by her family and was not even given a name. Her family just kept calling her a "money-losing brat".

The little girl walked over timidly, her trembling hands trying to help Liu Lu up.

Liu Lu sighed and took the little girl's hand.

The little girl trembled, her eyes shining with excitement; this was the first time her mother had taken the initiative to be close to her.

"Mother."

The little girl grinned, her eyes fixed on Liu Lu.

The original owner didn't like her very much because she was a girl. She didn't beat or scold her, but she always ignored her.

Seeing this thin, frail girl, Liu Lu couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness, and inwardly cursed the original owner of this body.

Why is there such a huge difference in treatment between children born to us? This little girl is so thin she has no flesh on her body. The boy's clothes look like a sack on her. Her dry, yellow hair is tied into two crooked little buns. Her face is the size of a palm, her eyes are strangely large, her little nose is straight and covered in dust, and her little mouth is cracked and bleeding.

"Mom, why don't you rest a little longer, I'll make breakfast."

The little girl happily held Liu Lu's hand and said...

Liu Lu shook her head, supported herself on the wooden plank to stand up, and patted the little girl's hair.

"Mom will cook. You go out and play for a while. I'll call you when it's time to eat."

"Mom, I don't want to play, I'll help you."

As the little girl spoke, she picked up the patched-up clothes from the bed and handed them to Liu Lu to put on.

After Liu Lu left the house, Old Lady Liu outside was banging the laundry basin loudly in the yard.

"You jinx! You didn't wash your clothes or finish the chores after you came back yesterday. You'd better get them done right now, or you'll be in big trouble."

Liu Lu glanced at Old Lady Liu, then took the little girl into the kitchen.

The kitchen was completely exposed; the seasonings in some bottles and jars were almost used up, and there was only a shallow layer left in the rice container.

The only extra bit was the small half-bag of cornmeal in the corner.

Liu Lu, who comes from a rural background, is not afraid of cooking at all. She skillfully chopped up the wild vegetables by the stove and made a pot of wild vegetable soup. She also mixed cornmeal with a small amount of wheat flour and steamed a pot of cornbread.

The little girl sat quietly and attentively beside her, watching the fire for her.

Breakfast was served.

Old Liu ate all three cornbread buns himself, while his wife quickly gave two to his eldest grandson, Liu Bao. He kept eating one himself.

There was only one cornbread left in the bowl, which Liu Lu and her daughter shared.

Although there wasn't much stuff, Liu Lu felt her strength gradually returning, unlike the weakness she felt when she first woke up.

As expected, Old Lady Liu spoke up again after breakfast.

"Hey you, go wash this pile of clothes. Stop being so lazy at home all day. Also, tidy up the yard and feed the chickens and ducks."

Liu Lu remained silent, picked up her clothes and basin, and headed towards the riverbank she remembered, hoping to find something else to eat.

The little girl followed closely behind her.

Liu Lu had been considering the idea of ​​traveling through time.

She didn't know why she had traveled to this world, or when she would be able to return to her own world.

He turned and looked at the little girl with pity. At least he could take good care of this little girl who was not loved by her parents while he was here, so that his trip would not have been in vain.

When the two arrived at the riverbank, Liu Lu put her clothes on a rock and planned to go down into the river to take a look.

The little girl saw Liu Lu's laundry tub on the stone and wanted to help her wash the clothes.

She took a dirty piece of clothing from the washbasin, sat down next to Liu Lu, placed the clothing on a nearby stone, and prepared to do the laundry.
