After lying on the bed like a dead fish for half a day, Jiang Nuan finally accepted reality: she had transmigrated.
Seeing the dust and debris falling towards him, he could no longer care about feeling sad about winter and autumn, and jumped out of bed in one leap.
After pouring herself a glass of water to calm her nerves, Jiang Nuan began to look around the room.
The room was simple, no, perhaps "simple" would be a more accurate description.
The room, which was about ten square meters, contained only a double bed, a wooden box with peeling paint, and a table with half a leg patched up.
On the table were a bamboo cup and a large bowl with a broken edge.
"What's going on? How did this family end up like this?" Jiang Nuan muttered to herself, subconsciously tapping her chin with her index finger.
Jiang Nuan felt that the mountainous areas where she had taught were much better than this place.
Even knowing that this was not modern times, the harsh environment was still somewhat difficult for her to accept.
"Everyone else gets a cheat code when they transmigrate, I wonder if the transmigration god could bestow one upon me." Jiang Nuan muttered to herself, "I'm not greedy, just a well with good water quality and two or three acres of land will do."
As soon as Jiang Nuan finished speaking, she felt something appear in her mind. After concentrating and meditating, she discovered that a small space had appeared.
The space was really small: three acres of land, a well, and a thatched hut. The soil on the ground was so black it looked like it was dripping with oil. Judging from Jiang Nuan's experienced eye, this land was ten times more fertile than land that had been fertilized with various organic fertilizers.
Jiang Nuan, who had been muttering to herself, rubbed her eyes in disbelief and pinched her cheek. "Is this... real?"
"Go in!" With a thought, Jiang Nuan appeared in the space.
"Get out!" The thought had barely formed when she reappeared in the room.
She was like a child who had just received a toy, happily wandering through the space and room.
After more than ten attempts, Jiang Nuan finally dared to believe that it was all real.
After confirming, Jiang Nuan straightened her clothes, put her hands together, and solemnly, earnestly, and devoutly bowed three times to the void in the space, "Thank you for the opportunity given by the great god, Jiang Nuan will definitely make good use of it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Nuan immediately felt an invisible hand stroking her head.
Gently, warmly, like a spring breeze.
In a daze, she thought she heard a soft laugh.
"Great...Great God?" Jiang Nuan stammered nervously.
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a tap on her forehead.
"Thank you... thank you, great master. Is there anything I can do for you?" Jiang Nuan asked nervously, looking at the void without a trace of confidence.
She really wanted to do something to thank the God for the opportunity He had given her, not only this space, but also a second life.
However, she was self-aware and knew that as a small mortal, an ant, there was very little she could do.
Silence, a long silence.
Jiang Nuan herself didn't know how long she had been waiting when suddenly, a piece of paper with a faint golden light floated down from the sky.
Jiang Nuan took the paper and saw four large characters on the golden paper: "Do good deeds and accumulate virtue!"
“Do good deeds and accumulate virtue,” Jiang Nuan repeated, bowing towards the void. “Jiang Nuan knows what to do now, thank you, Great God.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the golden paper turned into specks of golden light, scattering into the well. In an instant, the space returned to calm.
Jiang Nuan waited for a long time but didn't notice any reaction. She guessed that the master had already left and left the space dejectedly.
Although she was reluctant to part with him, she knew that the great god had already treated her well and she shouldn't ask for more.
After calming herself down, she pushed open the door to her room.
The early spring air was a bit chilly, but the afternoon sun was warm and comforting. Jiang Nuan, who was still feeling somewhat down, felt much better after basking in the warm sunshine.
She lay in bed for a long time, her whole body stiff, so she shook her arms and kicked her legs.
Suddenly, a gentle female voice rang out, "Mother, why didn't you call your daughter-in-law to serve you when you got up?"
Jiang Nuan turned her head stiffly, her eyes flickered, and she gritted her teeth as she spoke, "Eldest daughter-in-law, you're here."
“Mother, you seem a bit strange today,” Madam Huang paused, glancing nervously at Jiang Nuan, “Did your daughter-in-law do something wrong? Did she upset you?”
"No, you did very well," Jiang Nuan shook her head guiltily, then cautiously probed, "Why do you say that?"
“Mother,” Wang Shi pursed her lips, “You’re not usually this kind.”
After saying this, Wang's face immediately changed drastically, and all the color in her body quickly faded, turning her deathly pale.
She realized she had said the wrong thing.
My mother-in-law hates it when people talk badly about her, and she actually said it to my face.
The thought of being sent back to her parents' home after being divorced made Wang feel as if the sky had fallen, and tears streamed down her face involuntarily.
"Don't cry," Jiang Nuan said, feeling a little helpless as she was most afraid of seeing others cry. "I won't do anything to you, so don't be afraid."
Jiang Nuan felt she was making people cry, so she spoke very softly and awkwardly used her hands to wipe away Wang Shi's tears.
She thought this would appease the good people, but unexpectedly, Huang Wangshi became even more frightened and began to tremble all over.
Like a chick waiting to be slaughtered, it trembled all over, yet it suppressed its fear and dared not make the slightest movement.
Jiang Nuan wanted to continue comforting her, but suddenly, a sharp female voice rang out, "Sister-in-law, did you make Mother angry again? Hurry up and apologize to her! Mother works so hard for the whole family. It's all thanks to Mother that we can have enough to eat. Can't you be a little more understanding of her?"
As she spoke, the woman walked into the courtyard and looked at Jiang Nuan with heartache. "Mother, I knew my sister-in-law was useless. How could she let me come out with my hair all disheveled? Let's go back inside first, and I'll help you comb your hair!"
“No, no need,” Jiang Nuan coughed lightly and said in a deliberately indifferent tone, “You guys go about your business and don’t worry about me. My scalp hurts from being tied up in a bun for too long. I’m just letting my hair down to loosen it.”
"Mother, are you sure you can manage on your own?" The shrewish woman looked at Jiang Nuan with a conflicted expression.
"Second son's wife, does what this old woman says no longer carry any weight?" Jiang Nuan said, giving her a sharp look.
Sensing Jiang Nuan's anger, Xie's eyes shrank back, and she quickly shook her head, "No, absolutely not, it was my fault, I'll leave now."
Xie hurriedly left the courtyard, and as she left, she didn't forget to pull Wang, whose eyes were swollen from crying, away with her.
After the two left, Jiang Nuan took a deep breath.
We finally got through it.
Jiang Nuan only has faint memories of the original owner of the body, and can recognize those who are particularly close to her, but has no other memories. She doesn't know much about the original owner's personality, but she can infer from the behavior of her two daughters-in-law that the original owner had a bad temper.
This is normal. In ancient times, most mothers-in-law were extremely cruel to their daughters-in-law. Although she was mentally prepared for this, she found it difficult to adapt.
The reason she lay in bed for so long without coming to her senses was because she was frightened by her two sisters-in-law calling her "Mother" that morning.
As a single woman, she was suddenly called "mother" by two women with sallow complexions and weathered appearances who looked older than herself. The shock she felt was indescribable.
