According to the description of the novel.

Lin Shijie has a charming face, and it is precisely because of this that she was favored by the young master of the Zhao family.

So he wanted to take her as his concubine.

Before the ceremony of becoming a concubine was completed, she had already experienced the life of a wealthy family by following Mr. Zhao.

The circle of wealthy families is so wonderful, it is completely different from the village where she has lived for more than ten years.

The life there is addictive and desirable. Once you have experienced it, who would want to go back to that remote mountain village?

Not wanting to return to her cannibalistic home, Lin Shijie could only try hard to integrate into this circle.

She tried her best, but in the end it was not satisfactory.

She was a woman who had never seen the world and had lived in the village since she was a child. If it weren't for an accident, she wouldn't have had many opportunities to go to the town, let alone the county town.

Ordinary people in the city have class prejudices against village women, not to mention those from wealthy families.

Lin Shijie has been neglected by her father and unloved by her mother since she was a child.

It's good enough that she can grow up alive. As for the education on how to behave in society, how could Mr. and Mrs. Lin possibly teach her?

Therefore, she did not understand that the reason why she could not fit in with the circle in the city was not only because of class prejudice, but also because she was following Mr. Zhao without any clear reason and status.

The wife looks down on the concubine, and the concubine looks down on the mistress.

Lin Shijie had not even gone through the concubine ceremony, so she could only be considered a mistress. No one from a normal family would like a mistress.

It would be strange if she could fit into that circle.

But she didn't know the ins and outs of it, she just thought that if she could capture Mr. Zhao's heart, there would be no problem entering this circle.

Just like her mother, she has a firm grasp on her father's heart. Whenever there are any difficulties, Lin Anxiang will be the first to step forward to solve them.

So in order to make Mr. Zhao pay more attention to her, she made many changes.

Mr. Zhao was initially attracted by her stunning face, but when they were together, he discovered that she had no other advantages except her face.

Coarse hair, shriveled body, dark skin, empty head...

She didn't have what a girl should have, and Master Zhao felt embarrassed when he took her out.

According to Mr. Zhao's usual style, he would have replaced the woman who could not bring honor to him long ago.

In his family, there has never been a shortage of women around him.

But he never thought of giving up on Lin Shijie, but chose to transform her.

Coarse hair?

Let’s start with the secret recipe for maintenance.

Skinny body?

Then eat it. According to the doctor's diagnosis, I have been taking all kinds of tonics and medicinal foods.

Dark skin?

That’s even easier. Just hide away for a few months, don’t do farm work, and your skin will become white and tender everywhere.

An empty head with no knowledge?

Here comes a wave of crash courses in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Within half a year, Lin Shijie transformed from a young girl into a graceful beauty.

It was only after the transformation was completed that Master Zhao thought about holding the ceremony of taking a concubine.

It has to be held.

After he took the transformed Lin Shijie out, she received a lot of praise, and the young men around her had a lot of little thoughts about her.

He was afraid that if he delayed any further, Lin Shijie would become someone else's.

After being transformed by Mr. Zhao, Lin Shijie became more and more confident. When interacting with the ladies in the city, she no longer lowered her head with inferiority complex.

She lived in the county town like a duck in water and was very happy.

Although her figure, appearance and manners seemed impeccable, she actually had a shortcoming that was always laughed at by Mr. Zhao's admirers and became a point of attack.

Those are her teeth.

In ancient times, there was a profession called "renyazi," or human traffickers. They could judge a person's physical condition, age, and whether they had a good life before based on their teeth.

Rich ladies are much simpler and clearer. At first glance, those with yellow teeth are the equivalent of those from poor families.

Lin Shijie lives in Shantian Village and eats coarse grains, so her teeth are not very good.

In addition, the people living in the area are all from rural areas and have no awareness of dental care, which resulted in her having a mouth full of yellow teeth.

These yellow teeth are not like the body shape that can be restored by eating and drinking more. It took her more than half a year, and the yellow teeth are not much different from before.

She had not yet learned the proper etiquette, and when she laughed heartily her teeth showed.

Those present at the time had less than friendly exchanges with her.

Later, when she learned that she should not show her teeth when smiling, the incident of her yellow teeth was gradually forgotten by others, but it became a knot in her mind.

After she was reborn, she thought about taking good care of her teeth, which led to the quarrel between the old ladies in the morning.

She ran to the kitchen to steal salt.

Not only did she go herself, she also encouraged Lin Bocai to go with her.

Salt is controlled by the government here and is extremely expensive.

Mrs. Lin usually doesn't bother to put extra food in her cooking, but the siblings took it to play with. (PS: In Mrs. Lin's eyes, brushing your teeth is a waste.)

This made Mrs. Lin so angry that she jumped up and down.

However, based on the information Lin Shiyu obtained from eavesdropping today, it is still somewhat different from the description of stealing salt in the book.

The story of stealing salt in the book is mainly about Lin Shijie, and Lin Bocai is mainly used as a scapegoat when he is discovered.

In reality, it was Lin Bocai who was the main one, and Lin Shijie seemed to be the one who was threatened by his younger brother to go and help.

Lin Shiyu thought that the reason for this difference might be the butterfly effect caused by her arrival!

…

The last time, Lin Anxiang had a fight with Old Man Lin and didn't have breakfast, so he was so hungry that he couldn't stand it. This time, he learned his lesson. After arguing with Old Lady Lin, he shamelessly took his wife and children to eat first.

After Lin Anxiang finished eating, he put his bowl and chopsticks on the table, snorted loudly in the direction of the two elders of the Lin family, and walked out.

"It's raining so hard, what are you going to do?" Old Man Lin shouted at his back.

The hazy drizzle that started last night changed in the morning and it was dripping non-stop.

"This house can no longer accommodate several of us. We'd better finish building our new home and move out as soon as possible so as not to bother you." Lin Anxiang's honest face was filled with resentful eyes that did not match his.

At this moment, his eyes were sweeping over the people in the lobby.

It was obvious that he was angry about what happened in the morning. He was not only angry with Old Mrs. Lin, but also with his eldest brother and third brother who came out to mediate.

One by one, two of them are against him!

Mr. Lin wanted to speak, but was pulled back by Mrs. Lin who was standing beside him. She said:

"Whatever he does, he doesn't even take himself seriously. When he gets hurt, let him suffer the consequences."

Lin Anxiang gritted his teeth.

In the end, he left without looking back.

"It would be fine if he went out on his own, but why did he take the child with him? Eh!" Old Master Lin muttered softly as he watched him disappear. Then he said to Old Lady Lin, "You don't even bother to persuade me, you just keep making sarcastic remarks."
