Chapter 1: Beating



"How long do you want to lie down, you little bitch? Do you want me, an old man, to serve you? Just chew me and eat me, and get up and collect firewood."

Old Lady Wang stood in her second son's small east room, pointing at Shen Siyue lying on the kang and cursing.

He kept cursing but still not feeling satisfied. Seeing that the person on the kang didn't move, he got so angry that he started to pull the quilt.

"I'm telling you, even if you die, you have to bury me in the Zhao family's cemetery. Don't want to get married? You little bitch, give up on this idea as soon as possible."

"I've raised you for free, and now I'm desperate to find you a husband. Do you think you're a fairy? Do you want to marry a high-ranking official and become his wife?"

The more she spoke, the angrier she became. Old Lady Wang stretched out her big, skinny hands, as thin as chicken claws, and started to tear Shen Siyue's hair.

This little bitch is just ungrateful and deserves a lesson. You should marry her off as soon as possible and let a man beat her up so she will behave herself.

Shen Siyue, lying powerless on the kang, didn't want to pay attention to the crazy old woman. Let her scold as much as she wanted. Anyway, she was not the real Shen Siyue. She had just recovered from a high fever and her whole body was soft and she didn't have any strength.

But the old woman grabbed her hair and her scalp was pulled so hard that it hurt.

"Get out!" Shen Siyue raised his upper body, gritted his teeth, and used all his strength to push the old woman in front of him.

Don't even think about bullying her. She is now wishing for death. Maybe she can even wear it back after she dies.

She was a college student in the 21st century, studying well, but just because she fell asleep in class, she inexplicably traveled through time to this girl's body. Could it be because her name was Chen Siyue, which sounded the same as the girl's name?

She still wants to hit someone!

(To avoid confusion, the name Shen Siyue will be used from now on)

Old Mrs. Wang was caught off guard by the sudden resistance from the man who usually never fought back or retaliated. She staggered and almost fell on the cold ground, with a small bunch of hair that had been pulled off her in her hand.

Shen Siyue rubbed her head in pain. Originally, the girl’s hair was dry like thatch, yellow and thin, and some of it was pulled out by this bastard.

"This is outrageous! How dare you, you bastard, hit me? Someone, where's the second brother? Call him back. I want to beat this unfilial little whore to death."

Old Mrs. Wang looked around like a madman, and finally ran to the outer room, picked up the broom and hit Shen Siyue on the head.

Shen Siyue quickly hid on the kang. A wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him. He could be scolded but not beaten.

"Nana, nanny, what's wrong? Let me help you."

A young girl's high-pitched voice came from outside the house, and she ran into the house.

Seeing Old Lady Wang beating Shen Siyue, Shen Hongmei's eyes glowed green with excitement. She climbed onto the kang and grabbed Shen Siyue's feet.

Shen Siyue, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was no match for the two of them. Shen Hongmei pinned her legs down and she couldn't move. In the end, she could only hold her head with her hands and endure the beating from Old Lady Wang.

Fortunately, I was wearing cotton clothes in winter, otherwise my body would have been bruised.

Shen Siyue's biological mother Li Xiang, who hurried back from outside, stood on the ground at a loss, crying and begging the two to stop fighting.

Old Lady Wang didn't stop until she was tired of beating Shen Siyue. She spat on her body and said, "If I don't beat you for three days, you'll tear the tiles off the roof. If you dare to poke a thorn again, I'll beat you until the shit comes out."

The old man and the young man vented their anger and then got off the kang and walked out.

Li Xiang saw that Old Lady Wang was looking at her with a bad look, and she was so scared that she hid aside trembling.

Seeing the cowardly look of the second son's wife, Old Lady Wang was furious: "You are a hen that doesn't lay eggs, and you will give birth to a bastard. I tell you, if she dares to disobey me again, both of you will get out of here."

Chen Hongmei supported Grandma Wang's arm and said, "Grandma, don't bother with them. If you get angry again and get sick, your granddaughter will be heartbroken."

"You still care about grandma. Come on, grandma will make you some sugar water." Old Mrs. Wang patted Shen Hongmei's hand and gave Li Xiang and Shen Siyue a blank look before leaving.

After the two of them left the house, Shen Siyue relaxed, a thin layer of sweat seeping out from inside her cotton coat.

Li Xiang, who was standing on the ground, sat sideways on the edge of the kang, wiping her tears while scolding Shen Siyue: "Why did you fight with your grandma? How come you don't know how to respect your elders when you are so old?"

After all this trouble, Shen Siyue, who had been feeling weak all over due to a fever for a few days, felt less uncomfortable, at least she had some energy.

Listening to the mother of this body nagging non-stop, Shen Siyue couldn't help it and yelled at her: "Didn't you see that they both beat me together? You just watched others beat your daughter?"

She really couldn't understand, is this still her biological mother?

Li Xiang was stunned with tears in her eyes for a moment before she realized that she was yelled at by her daughter. For a moment, she was treated like a donkey by her in-laws. The humiliation of being looked down upon by the villagers came to her mind.

She stood up suddenly, and pointed at Shen Siyue with a trembling finger in anger: "If you don't make a mistake, can your grandma beat you? And I will be scolded as well. If it weren't for you, would I not be able to give birth to a son? Would I be scolded as a hen that can't lay eggs?"

Thinking about the life she had lived over the years, she felt that because she had no son, no matter how much she worked, she had no status at home. And her sister-in-law acted arrogant every day just because she gave birth to two sons, which made her very angry.

Thinking of her mother-in-law's promise that as long as Siyue was allowed to marry, she would choose a boy to be adopted by her brother-in-law after the betrothal gift was given to him to marry. Li Xiang wiped her tears and glared at Shen Siyue fiercely with red eyes.

"Just listen to your grandma and you won't have to suffer in this family if you marry her, right? Even though the man is a little older, he knows how to care for others!"

Shen Siyue looked at Li Xiang's face in disbelief. Is this still her biological mother? The man in the in-laws that Old Lady Wang found for the original owner was over 40 years old, older than her father.
