Chapter 1: The Shura Field at the Beginning
Lu Xiang took a long time to calm down before she had to admit that she had crossed into a book. Seeing a strange handsome man lying on the bed was quite exciting.
Recalling the plot in the book, yesterday should have been her wedding night, but they did not consummate the marriage and slept in their clothes all night.
This marriage was considered marrying up. Fu Qinhui was a university graduate from the village. University graduates in the 1970s were incredibly valuable, and when she got admitted, the whole village was in a state of excitement, no less than being named on the imperial examination roll in ancient times.
Fu Qinhui is the youngest son in the family. He is extremely handsome and most of the girls in the village want to marry him.
But Lu Xiang was a replacement bride. Daybreak was approaching, and this absurd story would be exposed.
The village was conservative, and this incident caused quite a stir. Fu Qinhui was originally going to marry Lu Zhaodi, Lu Xiang's cousin. Lu Zhaodi's father was a village clerk, a high-ranking official, not as high as the village chief, but still respectable.
In comparison, Lu Xiang's parents are just ordinary farmers.
Putting all the conditions together, the Fu family naturally has a bias.
The book says that after dawn, the truth was revealed and Lu Xiang's parents were scolded badly. The honest people all their lives could not stand being criticized, so they committed suicide by burning charcoal at home a few days later.
It is really not worth it to destroy a family for a good marriage.
Lu Xiang was a little angry at this moment. This was really unfair!
On the eve of the wedding, grandma and aunt went to Lu Xiang's parents to ask for help, saying that Lu Zhaodi was not worthy of her husband and fell in love with someone else, and that good things should be kept within the family. Fu Qinhui was a college graduate and an accountant in the supply and marketing cooperative. He was a good son-in-law that was hard to find even with a lantern.
Lu Xiang was about the same age as Lu Zhaodi, so they let her marry first. Fu Qinhui had just returned to his hometown and was not familiar with the woman's family. In addition, he was wearing a red veil on the wedding day, so no one could tell.
Lu Xiang's father, Lu Danian, disagreed. He only had three daughters in his life, and Lu Xiang was the youngest. Although girls were not as valued as boys in the village, she was still his own child.
The matter of replacing a daughter in marriage was too unpleasant. Lu Danian was an honest man and wanted Grandma Lu to explain it in person. How could it be so strange to marry off a daughter secretly?
But he was severely scolded by Grandma Lu. Lu Danian was a coward and had been controlled by his mother all his life. Now he was scolded so badly that he couldn't raise his head. He had to accept it, but he didn't know that this was the beginning of his tragic fate.
Although Fu Qinhui did not recognize Lu Xiang, his mother Xiao Cailian did. The next day, when the couple went out to pour tea, Xiao Cailian saw that her daughter-in-law had been replaced, so she slapped Lu Xiang on the spot and dragged her to the Lu family's old house to ask for an explanation.
Lu Xiang is a beauty and looks even better than Lu Zhaodi, but this is not a reason for the Lu family to replace her.
Lu Xiang inherited her parents' honesty and thought that everything would be fine after she went to the Lu residence and talked things out between the two families.
Unexpectedly, Grandma Lu, in order to gain the betrothal gift and reputation, denied her knowledge of the matter to her aunt and said she knew nothing about it. She also scolded Lu Xiang, saying that reputation was very important to a woman and that a man who stole her cousin would be despised by everyone.
Lu Xiang was dumbfounded. The rumors that intensified, coupled with the news of her parents' suicide, were the last straw that broke the camel's back. She went crazy.
The above is the story from the novel she read, "The Lucky Wife of the Eighties". The heroine in the book is Lu Xiang's cousin Lu Zhaodi, and she is a cannon fodder female supporting role, who sets off the heroine's excellence everywhere, and even her marriage is calculated.
In the end, Lu Xiang's family died or went crazy, but Lu Zhaodi married well and became the envy of everyone. Unexpectedly, she actually transmigrated into the book. This ending is not good, she must change it!
The sky outside was already turning pale. In less than an hour, we would enter Shura Field.
Lu Xiang regretted why she didn't put it on earlier. If they hadn't gotten married, she could have exposed their shameless act of bride-swapping on the spot. But now that they had gotten married, the situation suddenly became complicated.
Lu Xiang's breathing became heavy. Looking at Fu Qinhui's handsome profile, she made up her mind to make a big fuss! Before she transmigrated into the book, she had run a private restaurant. With her cooking skills, she wasn't afraid of going hungry in this era.
I just feel a little sorry for Fu Qinhui, he is a good person.
The book says that Lu Xiang went crazy, and her scumbag grandmother and uncle thought she was embarrassing and didn't care about her. Only Fu Qinhui took care of her. In the end, when she rolled down the mountain, it was Fu Qinhui who collected her body. Although they were not actually husband and wife, he had done his best for her.
The heroine Lu Zhaodi indirectly killed Lu Xiang, but in the end she married a considerate man and lived a life of luxury in the 1980s.
The more Lu Xiang thought about it, the harder it was to fall asleep, so she simply sat up.
Fu Qinhui, who was a light sleeper next to him, also opened his eyes: "Why are you up so early?" He had never spoken to a woman before and didn't know how to face her.
Lu Xiang said, "I can't sleep." Then she got up.
Facing what is about to happen, I feel like a huge stone is pressing on my heart.
I simply got up, went to the yard, scooped a basin of water from the water tank, washed my face simply, and went to the kitchen.
The four sons of the Fu family lived with their widowed mother, using a rural earthen stove. This type of stove was very difficult to cook properly, as it would emit smoke if not done properly.
Fortunately, Lu Xiang was very familiar with this type of stove and lit it quickly.
The Fu family had a big wedding yesterday, and although they hired a chef, they still had four or five leftover dishes, but no staple food. Lu Xiang simply cooked a handful of multi-grain porridge. She also found some coarse flour, a grain from the 1980s with no additives. The moment she opened the bag, it had a natural aroma.
Coarse grains may scratch your throat if not cooked properly, but Lu Xiang has a unique method that allows it to retain the aroma of the grains and have a great taste.
Lu Xiang started to knead the dough, but she felt tired after a few kneadings. No wonder no one wanted to marry her despite her beautiful appearance. It turned out that she was a sickly girl.
Lu Xiang lit the fire, simmering porridge below and steaming whole-grain bread above. Soon, a sweet aroma wafted into the air. It wasn't overpowering, but it was like a small hook, luring everyone's appetite.
There was a happy event in the Fu family yesterday. My brother, sister-in-law, and little nephew all ate their fill and digested the food after a night's sleep.
Just when I was hungry, I smelled the sweet scent of food and my stomach started to growl.
Brother Fu San and his wife were so greedy that they couldn't sleep: "Who is it? What are you cooking that smells so good?" They saw that it was just dawn outside and it was not time to go to work yet.
"Could it be that my sister-in-law cooked this?" asked Third Brother Fu.
Fu Sansao immediately rejected her idea: "I'm not trying to criticize her, but the food that the eldest sister-in-law cooks is so good that even a dog wouldn't eat it. The second sister-in-law is so stingy that the food she cooks is not very greasy. Could it be the one in the west room?"
Third Brother Fu said, "I haven't heard of this. Does Lu Zhaodi have these two tricks?"
Mrs. Fu San couldn't sleep because of the smell, so she got up and went out for a walk. Before leaving, Brother Fu San said, "If you have anything delicious, bring it back for me." He was greedy and lazy, and he wanted to eat but was reluctant to get up.
Mrs. Fu San nodded, and as soon as she went out, she saw her mother-in-law Xiao Cailian.
Mrs. Fu San was always good at talking. "Mom, I smelled the fragrance a long time ago. The fourth daughter-in-law is really hardworking. She got up so early to work."
Xiao Cailian was also very happy when she was praised: "Of course, this is what I picked for Qin Hui myself, it can't be wrong."
I just watched Fu Qinhui fetching water from the well at the entrance of the village and pouring it into the big water tank in the yard.
"Mom, third sister-in-law." Fu Qinhui greeted.
Mrs. Fu laughed and said, "You didn't feel tired after getting married yesterday, and you can still get up and work today?" Then she laughed first: "Your wife made breakfast, I wonder what she made that smells so good. Let's go and take a look."
She was talking to Fu Qinhui. Her mother-in-law Xiao Cailian was impatient and she couldn't help but go to the kitchen to see her new daughter-in-law.
The fourth child was really hardworking. He knew how to work early in the morning, better than the three lazy ones. She was not mentally prepared and yelled as soon as she entered the kitchen: "Why are you here?"
