"My dear girl, hurry up and eat the steamed egg custard. It's so fragrant with sesame oil."
"Look at you, you sleep in the night because you like it cool and don't cover yourself with a blanket, and as a result you got sick, which makes your mother very worried."
After Mo Qian regained consciousness, she heard a slightly aged voice in her ear.
Then, she slowly opened her eyes.
What came into view was an old woman dressed in a drab, patched-up gray outfit, holding a bowl of steamed egg custard in her hands.
A hint of worry crossed his face.
After placing the steamed egg custard on the table, the old woman came to the bedside and placed her hand on Mo Qian's forehead.
He was muttering to himself.
"It's not hot anymore, it seems the fever has subsided."
After speaking, he placed the steamed egg custard in front of Mo Qian.
"Eat it while it's hot, and then get a good night's sleep. You'll feel better tomorrow," the old woman said, scooping up a spoonful to feed Mo Qian.
"Mother, I can do it myself," Mo Qian said quickly upon seeing this.
After opening her eyes, Mo Qian looked around the room. When she saw the calendar placed to the side, she knew what era she was in.
It was during the 1970s.
Then, Mo Qian took the steamed egg custard from the old woman and quickly finished it.
"Mother, I still feel a little dizzy. I'll take a nap first," Mo Qian said as she handed over the bowl.
He even pinched his forehead with his hand from time to time, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Alright, you get some rest. I'll head out now." The old woman tucked the blanket around Mo Qian, then took the bowl and walked towards the door, carefully closing it behind her.
After the old woman left, Mo Qian began to receive the original owner's memories.
The original owner of the body, Mo Qian, was the youngest daughter of the captain of the Red Star Brigade.
The old woman from earlier was the original owner's biological mother.
Because the original owner was her own mother's beloved child born when she was forty years old, she was naturally very doted on.
In addition, the original owner had four older brothers, and the whole family spoiled and pampered this only little girl.
If things had gone according to plan, with the original owner's family around, the original owner should have had a peaceful life.
However, the unfortunate thing is that in this small world, the original owner is not the female lead, but cannon fodder.
The male and female protagonists are educated youth who came to the countryside.
In the first playthrough, when I first went to the countryside, I had never done farm work before because I had always lived in the city.
The sudden descent into the ground was naturally too much for the female protagonist to handle.
After persisting for a month, I started to feel like giving up, and then I began to think about it.
Because the female protagonist came from the city, with fair skin and some good looks, she naturally attracted the young men in the village.
Some people even saved their own food to give to the female lead and helped with chores.
The female protagonist was naturally very satisfied with this treatment.
However, this didn't last long. After all, no one is a fool. When they saw that the female lead was just accepting without responding, some people secretly backed down.
Even though the remaining members didn't want to give up, they stopped helping the female protagonist due to the intervention of their families.
Therefore, the female protagonist returned to the state she was in when she first arrived in the village, but having experienced what it was like not to work, she naturally found it very difficult to adapt.
After that, I secretly started thinking about finding a long-term meal ticket.
Initially, the female protagonist focused her attention on the educated youth sent to the countryside.
After all, educated youth are easier to get along with than country men, and they have more to talk about.
However, after evaluating a whole range of options, the female protagonist couldn't find anything that could alleviate her stress.
It was at this moment that the village secretary's youngest son came up to her and began to take great care of her.
The female lead naturally wouldn't refuse a freebie.
However, one day, the female lead accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by the village secretary's youngest son, and someone happened to see it.
Forced by the need to protect her reputation, the female protagonist had no choice but to admit to the public that she had been dating the youngest son of the village secretary.
Because the village secretary's youngest son had taken good care of the female lead before, it naturally did not arouse suspicion from others.
Later, the female protagonist married the youngest son of the village secretary.
Originally, the female lead thought that although he was from the countryside, he could at least support her, and since he was also good-looking, she didn't object.
However, after getting married, she found that everything was completely different from what she had imagined.
As for the man she married, he was very attentive and caring towards her when he was pursuing her before they got married.
After getting married, she was like a completely different person.
Not only did he lose his meticulous care, but he also treated her coldly.
He often abused her on the tatami mat.
He was also uttering insulting words.
It seemed like she was venting her resentment from the female lead's previous attempts to seduce men in the village.
The youngest son of the village secretary was furious when he thought about how the female lead had flitted among the crowd like a butterfly.
Because she suffered some hardship on the bed, the female protagonist had no way to speak and could only silently endure it.
Otherwise, if others were to tell, it might ruin my reputation.
The female protagonist had to endure sexual abuse at night and work during the day, so naturally her mind was very twisted.
They can't stand seeing others do well.
Especially after learning that the original owner had married one of the educated youth in the educated youth compound, she was pampered very much.
Afterwards, the educated youth took the original owner into the city after they left.
It was only after the exoneration that everyone learned that the educated youth the original owner had married was actually related to someone who had been sent down to the cowshed.
The original owner married into a powerful and wealthy family in the capital, and thereafter lived a life of luxury and honor.
After learning that the original owner of this body had married a sent-down youth, the female protagonist felt very resentful, believing that the original owner had stolen her life.
But at that time, the female protagonist didn't realize that she hadn't planned to look for someone in the educated youth compound from the very beginning.
