"Mother, please wake up! Pan'er begs you not to die! Father, Grandmother, please get a doctor for my mother!"
A loud wailing sound came from behind, making Ganli's head ache, and she couldn't help but frown.
Wasn't she in a plane crash? How can she still feel pain?
Before she could figure it out, a 'smack' sounded, and the little girl groaned as she was hit, followed by a curse:
"I'll teach you to talk nonsense! Your mother is long dead, what kind of doctor are you hiring? You're a waste of money, even mountains of gold and silver wouldn't be enough for you two to squander!"
Chen Pan'er shrank back in fright at Granny Lü's murderous look, but she didn't give up easily. Instead, she turned to look at her younger brother.
"Yaozu, say something! Your mother loves you the most. How can you bear to let your mother die?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yaozu showed a hint of hesitation on his face.
Seeing that she dared to incite her precious grandson to make a scene, Granny Lü slapped Chen Pan'er on the back again and scolded her.
"You brat, so what if she's dead? Your father already found you a rich stepmother. He even said he'd buy my Yaozu a few sets of fine silks and satins as soon as she came in. Didn't he see that he didn't buy her any, so you're jealous? If you ruin this, I'll strangle you!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yaozu's hesitant expression vanished. He followed his grandmother's example, rushed forward, and kicked his sister hard.
"I knew she wasn't nice to you usually, so why are you protecting her like this? Turns out you're just jealous that Aunt Zhao is buying me clothes! You dare to deliberately cause trouble? I'll beat you to death, you heartless good-for-nothing!"
The flying kick landed on Gan Li, making her jump up from the ground in pain.
The original owner was injured on her head. In her excitement, Gan Li got up, which aggravated the wound on her head. A sharp pain came, and a flood of memories rushed into her mind.
She instantly understood her current predicament—she had time-traveled!
She was originally a food blogger with millions of followers and eight-figure assets. She wanted to go on a trip and enjoy life, but the plane she was on crashed!
The original owner of this body shares the same name as her, Gan Li, and is 26 years old, married with two children.
She overheard her husband and mother-in-law plotting to divorce her and marry a wealthy widow in town. Enraged, she argued with them and was accidentally beaten to death by them, leaving behind two young children.
I initially thought this was a story about a pitiful woman betrayed by her husband, but in reality, the original owner's ending was entirely her own fault.
She met her husband, Chen Danian, when they were young, and despite her parents' objections, she insisted on marrying him, even threatening suicide. When she married, relying on the doting affection of her parents and two older brothers, she practically emptied the family's savings.
Not only that, the original owner's father was the head chef at the Baifulai Restaurant in town, and his elder brother and sister-in-law also worked there. The three of them earned a total of more than three taels of silver per month.
Three taels of silver was a considerable income in that era, but the Gan family still lived in poverty because the original owner had taken all the silver to support her husband's family.
The original owner couldn't bear to see her family members doing well; she even wanted to uproot a single blade of grass from her family and plant it in her husband's family.
That's not all. A few days ago, the original owner of this body, instigated by Chen Danian, finally did something really stupid!
She listened to Chen Danian's sweet talk, and through crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide, she tricked her father, Old Man Gan, out of his secret recipe and presented it to Chen Danian to curry favor with him.
Little did anyone know that Chen Danian had already seduced a wealthy widow in town, and then turned around and took the secret recipe to present it as a treasure.
The recipe fell into the hands of their arch-rival, and Baifulai's business plummeted. The owner ordered an investigation, which led to Old Man Gan. After giving them a severe beating, they were thrown out overnight.
The Gan family of three, covered in injuries, sought refuge with the original owner in the middle of the night, but the original owner cursed them incessantly because they had disturbed her husband's sleep.
The original owner's sister-in-law couldn't hold back and retorted that if the original owner hadn't leaked the secret recipe, they wouldn't have ended up like this. The original owner flew into a rage, slammed the door shut, and told them to go far away if they wanted to die, refusing them entry.
She thought her husband would be deeply moved by her support for his family, but little did she know that they had already planned to become the son-in-law of a wealthy widow and were discussing divorcing her.
The original owner, who overheard this, was heartbroken and broke down. She rushed in and started hitting and cursing at the two of them!
The two men naturally wouldn't tolerate her. In the ensuing scuffle, they shoved her onto the table, where her head hit the corner. She fell to the ground, unable to get up, which led to the scene described at the beginning.
After sorting through her memories, Ganli felt a huge "speechless" expression float above her head.
No, was the original owner of this body a hopeless romantic?
What left her speechless was that the original owner of this body was not only love-obsessed, but also a sexist idiot.
She not only fawned over her husband and mother-in-law, but also over her son, while ignoring her daughter completely.
She would beat and scold her daughter at best, and punish her by not letting her eat for several days at worst. She seemed to wish she had never given birth to this daughter, but she spoiled her youngest son, Chen Yaozu, so much that he was completely lawless and treated his older sister, who was more than a year older than him, like a servant.
But now, only this daughter cares about her life. How tragic!
Meanwhile, Granny Lü was startled when the person who had been dead suddenly sprang to life, but she quickly recovered and began cursing at Gan Li:
"You damn scoundrel, so you're not dead after all! If you're not dead, why have you been lying here for so long? Were you trying to scare me, or were you just trying to slack off? If you have nothing better to do, go and scrub the toilet in my room. Don't even think about slacking off!"
The headache was already bothersome enough, but hearing the old woman's vicious curses only fueled Ganli's anger.
She fiercely wiped her blood-covered eyes and finally saw the scene before her.
A short, mean-looking old woman was glaring at her with her triangular eyes. When she looked at her, she glared even more fiercely, her fingers almost poking into her eyes.
"This is outrageous! How dare you glare at your mother-in-law? You want to rebel, don't you?!"
Gan Li sneered, grabbed Granny Lü's hand without a word, nudged her with her shoulder, and then exerted force—
Before Granny Lü could react, she felt a sudden, overwhelming sensation, followed by a sharp pain throughout her body!
A loud 'thud' was followed by Granny Lü's painful screams.
Everyone was so shocked by what they saw that they took a step back, but Gan Li remained calm, her indifferent expression full of disdain.
Without even asking around, you'd find out that in her past life, she diligently practiced and earned a ninth-dan in Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) to deal with those despicable people! To mess with her? That's like picking a brick wall.
She brushed off imaginary dust from her hands, turned to look at a fat, muscular figure in the room, recognized him as the chubby boy who had kicked her earlier, and grinned sinisterly:
"Your turn, you fatso!"
