When Ye Caiping opened her eyes, she was a divorced woman cast out of her husband's home, with her sister-in-law sharpening her knife at her. It's not that the sister-in-law wouldn't to...
Grandma Ye became anxious upon hearing that she needed to find a good husband for her daughter within three months.
But she also knew that she had no choice but to do it.
Grandma Ye forced a smile: "Let's leave it at that. It's getting dark. Second son's wife, hurry up and cook!"
Ye Caiping said urgently, "Wait, Zhao, Zhao... Di and Lai Di are still at the Li family's house. I have to bring them back. They are my daughters and they have to live with me."
Ye Caiping felt a deep sense of shame as she thought about how difficult it was to pronounce her two daughters' names.
Old Man Ye and the others stared at Ye Caiping in astonishment.
Although the two maids were Ye Caiping's own daughters, Ye Caiping disliked them and complained all the time that they weren't boys, making her feel ashamed and causing Li Zhiyuan's family line to end.
Ye Caiping's mind was also flooded with those unbearable memories, and she said awkwardly, "Only after we separated did I realize how much I missed them."
Although Grandma Ye and the others felt that Ye Caiping had changed, they did not suspect anything, simply assuming that she had changed because she had experienced a setback and a major event.
"She is, after all, your own daughter. But she's a girl from the Li family. You can't just take her away!"
"That's why we have to snatch it!" A cold glint flashed in Ye Caiping's eyes.
Old Man Ye pondered for a while. Although he felt the chances of winning were slim, he was still willing to give it a try: "Daquan, go find the village head and tell him we'll go to Lijia Village again tomorrow."
Ye Daquan hurriedly ran out the door.
"Alright, everyone disperse and go about your business." Old Man Ye then put down his pipe.
In the corner of the room, a slender boy stood up.
He was about fifteen or sixteen years old. His clothes were faded from washing, but they were very clean, and he had no expression.
This was Ye Daquan's second son, Ye Xuan. The great traitor whose education was interrupted by the original owner of this body.
Old Man Ye noticed him and walked up to him, saying, "Xuan'er, I'm sorry."
Ye Xuan smiled bitterly: "I don't blame my grandfather, I only blame myself for not being born to study."
Ye Caiping walked over and said, "If I make money within three months, I will definitely hire a tutor for you!"
A hint of mockery flashed in Ye Xuan's eyes: "Little sister, you should mind your own business first! Don't ever marry a scholar again, we can't afford to support him."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Not far away, Madam Du sneered: "These kinds of things, like 'I'll do this and that in the future, and I'll get a lot of benefits from you,' are so annoying to hear."
He snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Old Man Ye watched their retreating figures and sighed softly, "Don't blame your sister-in-law."
Ye Caiping nodded: "I don't blame her, I just hope she won't blame me! I'm a little tired, I'll go back and rest first!"
Old Man Ye stared blankly at his daughter's retreating figure. His daughter seemed to have really changed; she seemed to have become more considerate of others.
But old habits die hard. How long could her good nature last? Old Man Ye had no hope.
...
Ye Caiping returned to her room and lay down to rest.
The room was fairly tidy, with a wardrobe, a bed, and a quilt, and yellowed coarse cloth nailed to the mud walls.
Even while lying in bed, she wasn't idle; she was sorting out her body's situation and interpersonal relationships in her mind.
This is the Great Zhou Dynasty, an alternate history where no real history exists.
The original owner's father, Old Man Ye, was originally named Ye Youtian. His mother, Old Lady Ye, was originally named Yan Fang.
The couple had two sons and one daughter.
Back when Old Lady Ye was pregnant with the original owner of the body, Old Man Ye got into a fight over irrigation in the fields and accidentally pushed Old Lady Ye over, causing her to give birth prematurely.
Finally, after a near-death experience, Old Lady Ye gave birth to her little girl, but the little girl was so weak that she couldn't even cry, and seemed like she wouldn't survive.
The couple were so worried that they cried every day.
Later, the couple spent money to hire a fortune teller to name their little girl. They named her Caiping, meaning to gather peace, but because she lacked the element of wood in her Five Elements, they changed it to Caiping.
Perhaps it was because of the good name I chose, but my daughter finally survived, though she is still frail and sickly.
The elderly couple naturally prioritized her needs in everything, indulging their daughter without any limits, and even teaching their two sons to always give way to their younger sister.
To their surprise, their two sons spoiled their sister even more, practically keeping her by their side. If she took even one extra step, the two brothers would feel sorry for her for half a day.
The eldest brother, Ye Daquan, married a woman surnamed Du, and they had two sons and a daughter.
The eldest son, Ye Yong, is already 19 years old, but because his family is poor, he has not been able to find a wife yet.
The second son, Ye Xuan, is 16 years old. He has loved reading since he was a child, but was forced to stop studying because of the original owner's unreasonable behavior.
The youngest daughter is named Ye Jinhua, and she is 14 years old.
The second elder brother, Ye Erquan, married a woman surnamed Wei, and they had a son and a daughter.
The son's name is Ye Peng, and he is 15 years old. The daughter's name is Ye Yinhua, and she is 11 years old.
Ye Caiping remembered her family members very quickly, even though there weren't many of them.
Ye Caiping's forehead wound was somewhat painful; after all, it was the wound that had killed the original owner of the body, so how could it not hurt?
Following her memory, she reached for the dresser by the bedside and took out a box of wound medicine.
[Ding! A box of extremely weak wound medicine has been found. It costs 3 coins. Would you like to sell it?]
A mechanical, emotionless voice echoed in my mind.
Ye Caiping was so startled she almost jumped up. Then, a pale blue panel appeared before her eyes—this familiar platform…
Ye Caiping was stunned, then her eyes reddened. This was a trading platform developed by her company, focusing on agricultural products and various traditional handicrafts.
This thing actually followed her here! The only change is that the unit has changed from yuan to wen. And it can be bought and sold freely!
Ye Caiping got excited and wanted to try out its functions, so she clicked the "Yes" option.
Then, the wound medicine in her hand disappeared, and she had three copper coins in her hand.
It really works!
This gave her more confidence to live here.
