The plot is quite exciting, but when Ke Meiyu is in reality, from an outsider's perspective, it seems that the female lead brought trouble upon herself.

She clearly has skills to rely on and a cheat code to help her after being reborn, so why should she depend on a man and suffer so much grievance?

Not to mention that the female protagonist's family lost a young life because of this!

The old lady clicked her tongue in amazement upon hearing this, and repeatedly said with lingering fear:

"It's a good thing our Yu Bao'er didn't go through with the marriage proposal to the Yu family, otherwise your five simple-minded brothers could have beaten them to death!"

Is a woman who can't have children still a complete woman?

Raising someone else's child? You must be out of your mind!

Then she whispered in Ke Meiyu's ear with a cold smile:

"I think your second uncle's family is very clear-headed; they'll agree to anything for wealth and status."

We can't block their path to wealth, lest they think we can't stand to see them doing well!

You are not allowed to tell your grandfather about this.

That old man is too old-fashioned; don't let your good intentions be met with resentment!

Ke Meiyu hesitated for a moment.

The old man was a kind-hearted man who had joined the army in his youth to defend his country, leaving his wife alone at home to raise their four sons and two daughters.

After the country was stable, he did not want any fame or fortune, and quietly returned to his hometown to continue being a farmer.

He was also the village chief's uncle and held great prestige in the village, but the old man was strong-willed and had a bad temper.

As the head of the family, he tried his best to treat everyone equally, but the fact that the original owner's arranged marriage partner was taken away by the female lead was just the beginning of the family's disaster.

Afterwards, his youngest son, whom he felt most guilty about, was killed by a tiger during a winter hunt. Floods destroyed his house and took away his youngest son's wife. In addition, the second wife repeatedly stabbed him in the heart and ruined the reputation of the Ke family. The old man was so angry that he lost his mind!

The old lady also couldn't accept the reality and was paralyzed and bedridden.

Even with such close relatives, the five older brothers, who hadn't yet married and were living in a shack with their younger sisters, became self-destructive and were incited by others to indulge in all sorts of vices, including eating, drinking, gambling, smashing, and robbing. In the end, they were all sent to the police station by the female protagonist!

This contrasts sharply with the prosperous life of the female protagonist's family.

"Grandma, I still think we should tell Grandpa about this as soon as possible," Ke Meiyu said softly to the old lady after thinking for a moment. "Grandpa is a man who has seen a lot of the world, and his thoughts and actions are definitely more comprehensive than ours."

Although your second uncle and his family don't appreciate your and your grandfather's kindness, they haven't separated the family property, so the affairs of the second branch are the affairs of our Ke family.

We can't let them lose face!

The second branch of the family has caused so much trouble just to break away from the Ke family and separate from them.

The female protagonist can then use her skills to make money, so that these "blood-sucking" Ke family members won't take advantage of her and enjoy their wealth.

Ke Meiyu couldn't be happier. In her eyes, the female lead was a cash cow and also had the golden finger of a prophet, but the female lead also represented countless troubles!

She still prefers to be a pampered, carefree person and live a peaceful, quiet life.

The old lady thought for a moment and nodded:

"Okay, at least it came out of my belly."

As his mother, I can't just send that idiot back, nor can I stand by and watch that family of fools embarrass our family!

When the engagement was first made, the Yu family and the second branch of the family privately finalized many details.

For example, the bride's family might generously refuse any dowry, giving it all back to their daughter as part of her dowry; or the bride might sensibly choose not to have children yet, prioritizing the care of the groom's children...

For the first time, the second branch of the family felt a sense of pride and pride, and they were unwilling to make any promises in front of everyone. They all remained silent, only nodding and smiling, leaving the Yu family anxious but unable to speak openly.

Because the rest of the Ke family were clearly just going through the motions, the Yu family didn't stay for dinner. They only left a set of nearly new military green work clothes for the bride-to-be to wear as her wedding dress, along with a dowry of 199 yuan, some pastries and candies, and two bottles of wine that they had brought with them.

Even just these things are enough for the neighbors to be envious, jealous, and resentful, and have something to talk about for half a month!

Who would have thought that a dark-skinned, thin, and unremarkable girl could get such a good marriage?

As soon as the family members left, the Ke family saw off the villagers who had come to watch the commotion and then gathered them in the main room.

At this moment, the old lady had already spoken to the old man, who sat to the side with a sullen face.

Apart from Ke's mother, who was in the inner room with Ke Meiyu, the rest of them were sitting in the main room, giving the impression of a joint trial.

"Tell me, what did you promise the Yu family on the day of Xiaoding?"

The old man slammed his hand on the table and asked angrily.

The second wife trembled with fear, unable to utter a single word, while Ko Eun-sook lowered her head slightly.

They reverted to their old ways of being pushovers.

Seeing their behavior, the old lady became furious:

"What's wrong? Are you mute?"

You were quite capable just now, eyeing the steamed egg custard in the pot!

Is this all you've got? No wonder you resorted to violence against your own family members to scheme against Bao'er's potential marriage partner, and you show no remorse whatsoever.

"If the officers at the station found out, wouldn't they drag you all to the execution grounds?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the people from the second branch of the family suddenly raised their heads.

"Mother, sometimes I wonder if I am really your biological child."

What mother wouldn't want things to go well for her son and his family? How could she say such heartless things!

Ke Lao Er shook his head, looking hurt and disappointed.

"You scoundrel, how dare you speak to your mother like that?" The old man stood up, grabbed a stick from the side, and smacked her.

Ke Lao Er, with his neck stiff, neither dodged nor flinched, but instead continued to vent his decades of pent-up resentment:

"Father, what did I say wrong?"

We are all children born of parents. The eldest brother is the eldest in the family and is valued by you.

The third and fourth brothers are good-looking and good at flattering people. They don't have to do much work to get your smiles.

But what about our second wife?

My wife and daughters are always with me, eating the least and doing the most work, but when there's anything good in the family, it never happens to us!

Even his wife, with tears in her eyes, said in a trembling voice, "Father and Mother, they are all your own granddaughters. Why is it that Seventh Girl is cherished and loved by you, while my four daughters are treated like weeds and not even worthy of your attention?"

Yes, it was I who protected Eighth Girl and pushed her.

I didn't use much force and she fell down. Nobody expected there was a sharp rock behind her!

You keep focusing on this point, but who among you has considered that our eighth daughter was also pushed into the river by her?

Does that mean Seventh Sister has a life, but my Eighth Sister doesn't?

"If you really cared about the child, would you have agreed to the Yu family's conditions?" The old man was furious. He hadn't expected the second son's family to be so stubborn, as if everyone owed them something.

What if we don't agree?

The second son's wife covered her mouth and cried, saying:

"No one in the Ke family truly stood up for her."

"If we don't agree to give away the entire bride price, they can find someone else, and Xiao Ba's reputation will be completely ruined!"
