"Sister, wake up! I've brought you some food..."
"They're already dead, what's the point of eating! You bunch of brats, get out of my way and stop me from changing this brat's clothes!"
"No, my sister isn't dead yet! You can't sell her off for a ghost marriage! You wicked woman!"
"Smack!"
A loud slap landed on Gu Erniu's face, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground.
Ignoring his own pain, Gu Erniu quickly got up to protect Gu Lili, who was lying on the bed.
Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou followed closely behind and ran to the bedside, imitating Gu Erniu in protecting their sister.
Gu Lili felt that the surroundings were extremely noisy, but she couldn't open her eyes no matter what she did.
Aunt Gu gave Gu Chuan a look, and Gu Chuan immediately stepped forward, grabbed the three of them, and forcefully pushed them aside.
Three emaciated children were no match for a grown man.
"You are not allowed to sell my sister..."
The three children were crying together.
Gu Ershen, cursing and swearing, stepped forward with a set of funeral clothes, intending to change Gu Lili into them.
Gu Lili suddenly opened her eyes and stared at her second aunt in front of her.
He instinctively grabbed the hand that was about to take off his clothes.
Aunt Gu was so terrified that she wet herself and fell to her knees, crawling towards the door while screaming, "Ah! It's a zombie! It's a zombie!"
Seeing that his second aunt was terrified, Gu Chuan quickly released the three Gu siblings and went to comfort her.
Gu Lili's headache grew worse from the noise.
She looked at the three children and two adults in the room, and a memory that wasn't hers rushed into her mind.
Gu Lili almost burst into tears on the spot.
She was originally an all-around influencer on Douyin in the 21st century, but unexpectedly, while filming a video, she accidentally fell off a cliff and ended up in this place.
She is 25 years old, a freelancer, and has more than 30 million followers. Although she earns her money through hard work, it is still quite substantial.
Unexpectedly, he was transported to an ancient mountain village and became a thirteen-year-old child.
Moreover, both her parents had passed away, and she, with her small body, was supporting the family.
Why is it that everyone else who transmigrates becomes a princess or empress, while I'm so unlucky that I'm transmigrated into a little kid who hasn't even had a meal yet!
Just as Gu Lili was roaring in her heart, she was almost crushed by the two small bodies again.
"Sister, you're awake! That's wonderful!" Gu Huanhuan cried, tears streaming down her face.
Gu Sigou threw himself into Gu Lili's arms and wailed, "Sister, sister..."
"Get up, you two! I'm about to be crushed!" Gu Lili said weakly.
The two children then quickly got up.
Gu Lili finally caught her breath.
"Wasn't that brat dead? How did she come back to life? The Wang family is coming to pick her up soon, what are we going to do?" Aunt Gu had also recovered from her shock.
Gu Chuan spat and cursed, "What bad luck!"
Once they got their hands on a tael of silver, it was gone just like that.
The couple were so angry they gritted their teeth.
Hearing the couple's insults, Gu Erniu could no longer bear it. He turned around, mustered his courage, grabbed his wood-chopping knife, and walked towards the couple.
"You two have no conscience! You embezzled my father's pension, and now you're trying to sell my sister! I'll kill you both!"
Seeing Gu Erniu rushing towards them recklessly, Gu Chuan and his companion were so frightened that they hurriedly ran out of the courtyard.
There were quite a few onlookers outside the courtyard, but none of them made way for the fleeing couple to escape.
Aunt Gu fell flat on her face, landing behind Gu Chuan.
Gu Chuan, however, was preoccupied with his escape and couldn't care less about anything else.
Gu Chuan's path was blocked by the crowd of onlookers, but he suddenly exerted his strength and escaped.
Aunt Gu was so frightened that her legs went weak and she fell to the ground, unable to get up, and retreated step by step.
Erniu, carrying a gleaming knife, approached Aunt Gu step by step, scaring her so much that she immediately wet her crotch.
Seeing that Erniu was about to cause a disaster, Gu Lili quickly spoke up to stop him.
"Erniu, come back!"
Gu Erniu glared at him fiercely before sheathing his knife and retreating back into the house.
Aunt Gu practically crawled out of Gu Lili's yard.
Seeing the couple's disheveled figures, the onlookers couldn't help but sneer.
"Old man Gu, you're so biased. Not only did you embezzle Gu Shan's pension, but you also took the opportunity to separate Gu Shan's branch of the family. Aren't you afraid of retribution? It's just like the saying goes, 'With a stepmother comes a stepfather.' Gu Shan's branch of the family is truly pitiful."
"That's right. The orphan and the widow were given only an acre of wasteland, and Gu Shan's wife even starved to death."
"Ah, yes, poor Lili. It seems she's going to follow in her mother's footsteps. Now that she's awake, it's probably just a temporary respite before she dies."
“I have another mixed flour pancake at home. I’ll go get it for her so she can have a better journey.”
"I also have one egg at home, I'll go back and get it now."
Hearing the discussions outside the courtyard, Gu Lili almost fainted again after she had just recovered.
I just transmigrated here, why are they sending me away again?
Looking at the three siblings in front of her, who were emaciated and pale from hunger, Gu Lili couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
The shout to call Erniu in just now almost took all of Gu Lili's strength.
The original owner was too weak; she hadn't eaten for several days and was unable to speak.
"Sister, eat quickly. This is a pancake that Sister Hong from next door gave me. Eating it will make you feel better," Gu Sigou said, sobbing as he looked at Gu Lili.
Looking at the small, blackened piece of pancake in Gu Sigou's hand, Gu Lili couldn't help but frown.
But my stomach betrayed me and rumbled.
Just as Gu Lili was about to reach out to take it, Aunt Zhang and Granny Yang, who had been preparing to bring her food, came in with the items.
Aunt Zhang, her eyes red, looked at the siblings and said, "Erniu, go and give this egg and pancake to your sister so she can have a full meal before she goes, and be reborn into a good family in her next life."
"Yes, yes, go quickly, Erniu," Grandma Yang chimed in.
“We’ll head back now. If your sister…” Aunt Zhang sighed, glancing at the weak Gu Lili, “come to our house and let us know. I’ll call your Uncle Zhang and we’ll come help you. We’ll burn your sister alive. We absolutely won’t let those heartless people sell her for a ghost marriage.”
Gu Lili was speechless. Aunt Zhang, I think I can still be saved!
Erniu looked at Gu Lili, nodded heavily, and pulled Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou to kneel down before Aunt Zhang and Granny Yang.
With red eyes, the two helped the three siblings up, then sighed and shook their heads as they left.
Gu Lili was both amused and exasperated, but she didn't have the strength to speak.
