Chapter 2: Good days are not something you can ask for

[Oh my god, that can’t be my house? ]

Chen Dani started complaining again, and she never stopped talking during the whole journey.

Liang Jinyu used to find it strange, but now she is used to it. She even thinks that it is because of her rebirth that Dani has changed.

However, eavesdropping on people's thoughts was not a decent thing to do, so she was too embarrassed to show it.

[Others who travel through time are either princesses or ladies. But I start out as a poor loser again? Oh my God, I will never call you grandpa again, because you don’t even treat me as your own granddaughter! ]

Chen Dani sighed sadly, looking melancholy.

Liang Jinyu couldn't help but smile when she heard this. She bent down and took Dani's cold little hand, comforting her by saying, "The hard times are only temporary. When I make money in the future, I will definitely let you live a life of luxury."

Chen Dani raised her head to look at Liang Jinyu who was in a panic, chuckled twice and said nothing.

[The scumbag drew a big cake, burp~ I am dying! 】

Liang Jinyu: “…”

Both of them were soaked and their hands and feet were frozen stiff.

As soon as she got home, Liang Jinyu didn't even bother to look after herself, but asked Chen Dani to quickly take off her wet clothes and go to bed.

"I'll go next door and find you some clean clothes."

Liang Jinyu walked to the door, suddenly remembered something, and returned to the room.

Chen Dani asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Liang Jinyu shook her head: "Your grandma is very suspicious. I'd better not go to her room, lest she talk nonsense again."

In her previous life, she just went to the next door to find some clothes, but when her mother-in-law Wang came back, she went crazy and accused her of stealing the silver in her room.

Not only did she make so much noise that all the villagers came to laugh at her, but she was also whipped by Old Man Chen with a horsewhip. The whip left her back with a scar that didn't heal for more than half a month.

Chen Dani buried her neck in the quilt out of coldness and rolled her eyes: "What should I do? I can't just be naked like this, right?"

[It's really like a medicine that has been boiled three times - it's useless. The mouth is on someone else's face. No matter what she says, being afraid of this and that will not achieve anything. Alas, it seems that I can't rely on this cheap mother in the future. How unlucky! ]

The words were rough but the truth was there. Liang Jinyu was well-educated and understood the truth. After listening to Chen Dani's thoughts, he felt as if his chest was hit by a heavy drum, and an inexplicable emotion rapidly swelled in his chest.

Yes, it’s easy to find excuses to accuse someone of a crime.

Wang was deliberately making things difficult for her. Even if she hadn't gone next door today, she would still find an excuse to put the blame on her.

"Where are all the people? Didn't you see that all the chickens ran away? Where are the people in the old house?"

At this moment, old man Chen's angry shout came from outside.

Liang Jinyu's breathing became rapid and she felt a burning pain on her back, as if the non-existent whip marks had been branded into her body with her rebirth.

Chen Dani stretched her neck to look outside, then glanced at Liang Jinyu who looked frightened, and nodded in understanding.

[He was so scared, it seems that this old man is a ruthless person. 】

Bang bang bang!

As if to verify Chen Dani's judgment, the door was suddenly knocked violently.

Old man Chen shouted angrily: "Old man, why are you closing the door in broad daylight? Open the door!"

Liang Jinyu clenched her fists and took a deep breath.

She has died once and has seen all kinds of hideous and vicious faces. There is nothing to be afraid of anymore.

"Dad, Dani fell into the river, and I was just about to change her clothes." Liang Jinyu responded in a deep voice.

Old Man Chen got even angrier when he heard this: "How could you fall into the river for no reason? How could you take care of the children at home? You can't even do this, yet you order me around? Where's your mother? Where did she go again?"

Listening to the footsteps leaving outside, a thought suddenly flashed through Liang Jinyu's mind.

She hurriedly shouted, "Dad, Dani's clothes are all in your room. Can you find some for her? I'm soaked through, too, and I can't get out."

"Grandpa~Grandpa, I'm so cold, please get me some clothes! Please!" Chen Dani begged with a smile on her face.

Liang Jinyu couldn't help but chuckle. Dani had indeed changed and was now even smarter than before.

The Chen family was not having a hard time at this time. When people have enough food and drink, they can hide their dirty thoughts.

Although Old Man Chen looked down on Chen Dani, she was his granddaughter after all, and taking a few clothes was not a big deal, so after a while he really threw in two pieces of clothes that were full of patches.

"Change your clothes and go get all the chickens back. If one is missing, I'll beat you to death!" Old man Chen shouted with a stern face.

By the time Liang Jinyu and Chen Dani changed their clothes, Old Man Chen had already gone out.

The gate of the house was wide open, and all the chickens and ducks in the house ran away.

The archway of the pigsty next door was grunting and the worn door panels were clanging.

Liang Jinyu moved a small stool under the eaves and pulled Chen Dani to sit down.

"You stay here in the sun for a while to warm yourself up. I'll make some ginger tea."

Chen Dani asked: "Didn't Grandpa say we should catch chickens?"

"Don't worry about him. Catching chickens is not as important as our own health." Liang Jinyu said nonchalantly.

After living a new life, she figured it out. Instead of trying to please others, it is better to be tough. Good days are not begged for, but fought for.

[The old dragon king is moving—awesome (away from the sea)! ]

Chen Dani cast an admiring look at Liang Jinyu, smiling with her eyebrows curved.

Seeing that Dani also supported her, Liang Jinyu felt relieved and more confident.

She decided to poach two more eggs!

...

"ah--"

Just as the eggs were served, a scream suddenly came from outside.

Liang Jinyu quickly hid the bowl in the stove and ran out to see Wang standing at the door with a terrified look on her face. Her face was pale and her eyes were wide open, as if she was terribly frightened.

Chen Dani carried a broom covered in chicken shit and teased, "Grandma, you've never seen a ghost at your age, have you? You better look carefully!"

"You silly girl, why are you at home? Didn't you jump into the river? Don't come to scare me in broad daylight! I'm your grandma, I'm not afraid of you!" Wang cursed with gritted teeth, but did not dare to enter the house.

Liang Jinyu wiped her hands on her apron, walked over and explained, "Dani fell into the water, but I rescued her."

When Wang heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but then she remembered something and glared at Chen Dani with a warning.

"Little girl, stop playing tricks on me. I think she has a problem with her brain and she doesn't tell the truth. Don't worry about her. Hurry up and cook. It's so late and you still want to be lazy!"

Wang cursed for no apparent reason and then quickly returned to her room.

Looking at the closed door, Liang Jinyu's eyes darkened slightly. This time, she wanted to see how Wang would frame her.

"Let's go and eat." Liang Jinyu waved to Dani. If they didn't eat now, they would miss dinner later.

As expected, before the mother and daughter had finished the brown sugar, ginger tea and eggs in their bowls, Wang rushed in like a manic mad dog.

Seeing the two of them "cheating" added fuel to the fire, and his whole face was distorted.
