Waking up from a dream, Su Yun transmigrated from a modern office worker to a young wife in an ancient rural village. Not only did she have an elderly and frail mother-in-law, but also two young an...
Qingshui County, Yongning County, Daliushu Village.
As the sun set, after an autumn rain, a thin, young village woman walked unsteadily along the muddy road.
Like a headless fly, she stumbled into a dilapidated courtyard, collapsed to the ground, and fell silent.
pain!
It hurts!
Su Yun'er was awakened by a headache, and she could vaguely hear children crying and old people cursing and wailing.
What's wrong?
Su Yun'er struggled to sit up, but as soon as she moved, she heard the child next to her scream. The sound pierced her skull, and Su Yun'er suddenly woke up.
A flood of memories rushed into my mind.
Su Yun'er was stunned.
I... I'm transmigrated?!
Before waking up, she was Su Yun, a product operations manager at a small modern company. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself as Su Yun'er, a village woman in ancient times.
This dynasty doesn't exist in history. The original owner lived in a poor village near the border. She had an elderly mother-in-law and twins who were only five or six years old. Her father-in-law had passed away, and her husband had gone to the battlefield and disappeared for several years. Su Yun'er was the only able-bodied person in the family.
This year, Daliushu Village suffered a drought, and no food could be grown in the fields, making life difficult for every household. Su Yun'er's family was the poorest of the poor.
The memory was interrupted by a child's innocent voice: "Mom, you're not dead? You scared me to death!"
"Little Tree was scared to death! Mother, don't die!"
Then came an old voice: "Ah, what a lucky guy, he was cold but he still came back to life."
Su Yun'er sat up and saw the three of them, the old man and the young woman.
The old woman must be his mother-in-law, Old Lady Chen. Of the two children, Xiaoshu is the older brother and Xiaocao is the younger sister.
The family of four were all dressed in tattered and unclean clothes.
The two children were originally surrounding Su Yun'er, but when they saw her sit up, they stepped back, a hint of fear flashing in their eyes. Meanwhile, the old lady Chen, leaning against the wall with a tree branch, sat hunched over. Although her eyes were red, her gaze towards the female lead was not friendly.
In her memory, the original owner was not good to her mother-in-law and children. She often beat and scolded the children and mistreated her mother-in-law.
Wanting to recall more, Su Yun'er suddenly felt a sharp pain in her forehead and gasped.
"What's wrong with me...?"
"Mom, didn't you say you were going to Uncle's house to ask for money? How did you get hurt?" Little Sister Xiaocao asked timidly, her gaze lingering on Su Yun'er's forehead for a moment before quickly looking away.
I remember now!
Because her mother-in-law, Old Lady Chen, was sick, and the family had no rice, no money, and no medicine, even though the original owner of this body wasn't very good to her, she couldn't just watch her die. So, the original owner wanted to go to her parents' home to ask for some money, but was beaten out by her cousin and then pushed from behind by her cousin, causing her to fall to the ground and hit her head. After struggling to walk home, she died.
Speaking of which, the original owner's relationship with her maternal family was also quite strange.
Her biological parents favored sons over daughters and sold her to Old Lady Chen's family as their daughter-in-law for a few taels of silver.
However, the original owner was easily swayed and always obeyed her mother, believing that her family was the only true support. Whenever her own family had something, she would send it to her family, while cutting back on the food and supplies for her mother-in-law and her own children.
That's not all. She also believed her own mother's words that children can't be good if they aren't beaten, so she always beat and scolded the twins. She also believed that mothers-in-law are all vicious towards their daughters-in-law, so she had to be even more vicious towards her mother-in-law in order to protect herself.
However, the original owner of this body was actually kind and weak at heart, and could not always be fierce. So she often acted very contradictorily: sometimes she was kind and gentle to her mother-in-law and children, and sometimes she would become fierce and evil when she remembered her mother's words.
Now, Su Yun'er is facing the situation that her family is not close to her and that her family is destitute.
Glug glug—
A very loud rumbling sound came from Su Yun'er's stomach.
Then, another wave followed, and another.
But it came from the twins.
Grandma Chen sighed, "There's nothing to eat or drink at home. I'm old and useless. I just feel sorry for my grandchildren."
As Old Mrs. Chen spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. Su Yun'er, not being good at handling such situations, quickly endured the hunger and pain and got up: "Mother, don't worry, I'll figure out what to eat."
Old Mrs. Chen was already used to Su Yun'er's unpredictable moods, so she didn't take her words to heart. She simply said, "It doesn't matter if I, this old woman, starve to death. You should worry about your child first!"
What could Su Yun'er say? She could only nod and then quickly slip into the kitchen.
But after searching the entire kitchen, they couldn't find a single thing to eat.
Even just a little bit of salt.
Su Yun'er plopped down on the threshold. Even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice. Even though Su Yun'er was originally an exceptional cook, she couldn't cook anything at this moment.
Another rumble of hunger came from my stomach.
She was hungry!
The family was starving, so not only the mother-in-law and the twins were without food and drink, but the original owner of the body was also hungry. Therefore, Su Yun'er inherited the original owner's hunger.
Her legs gave way and Su Yun'er plopped down on the doorstep.
Her stomach growled again. Su Yun'er clutched her stomach, enduring the dizziness, and a thought popped into her mind.
Or should I go steal some food?
