"Smack!"
A heavy slap rang out, and Lin Xue felt a burning pain on her face.
"Lin Xueni, are you abandoning your own child to help your family?"
A voice filled with grief and indignation rang out, causing Lin Xue, whose mind was still somewhat muddled, to open her eyes.
Only then did she realize that she was surrounded by several people.
They wore clothes patched upon patched, and all of them looked emaciated and pale.
Even that tall man was now just tall.
"What are you looking at? It won't do you any good by looking at us!"
"Xue Ni, it's not that I'm criticizing you as your sister-in-law, but how could you secretly send the baby's food rations back to your parents' home?"
"Are you not planning to live like this anymore? Have you even thought about whether your two children will survive if there's no food left in the house?"
The woman wearing a green headscarf looked at Lin Xue with an expression of disappointment and frustration.
"Suqin, what are you still saying to her? If she cared even a little bit about the two children, she wouldn't have sent all the family's food rations back to her parents' home!"
The old woman who had slapped Lin Xue earlier was now staring at her with bloodshot eyes, clearly furious.
"Grandma, please, please stop hitting my mother!"
"Grandma, it's all Gou Dan's fault. Gou Dan will never complain about being hungry again. Please don't hit my mother!"
Just then, two thin children staggered out of the house.
As soon as the two children came out, they blocked Lin Xue's way and each grabbed one of the old woman's legs.
"Oh dear, what sins did my Wang family commit to marry such a heartless woman as Lin Xueni? For the sake of her family, she's going to starve her grandchildren to death!"
When the two children hugged her, the old woman couldn't help but burst into tears.
She was crying with tears and snot streaming down her face, and her regretful expression stunned Lin Xue, whose cheeks were still sore!
It was only then that Lin Xue realized she had entered a mission world.
Judging from the expressions of the people around her and the old woman's words, she gleaned some information.
"mother?"
Lin Xue tried calling out.
"What mother? Don't call me mother, I'm not your mother!"
"Heavens above! How could I have married such a daughter-in-law? She's going to sever the Wang family line!"
"Heavens above, earth below, strike me down with lightning and kill this unfilial daughter-in-law! There's no way out for her!"
Lin Xue frowned as she listened. What sins had the original owner committed to make this woman hate her so much?
"Mom, please stop crying. Can't we talk things out calmly? Do you think crying will help?"
Lin Xue was not a weak person to begin with, and she was also quite straightforward. She spoke her mind and got straight to the point, and she hated this kind of tearful scene the most.
"How dare you say that? Who am I doing all this for? Oh, I can't live anymore! I can't live anymore! My daughter-in-law is starving my grandchildren, and now she dares to talk back to me!"
Lin Xue took a deep breath; she could feel her brain pounding.
What exactly did the original owner do?
Damn it, I've never been slapped before in my life. I never expected to get slapped in the shove the moment I arrived in this mission world.
She really wanted to cry, didn't she?
"Mother, please stop crying, okay?"
Lin Xue couldn't bear it any longer and decided to help the woman who was sitting on the ground crying up first.
But as soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy and lightheaded.
The next second, he collapsed to the ground with a "thud".
"Mother, please stop crying. It seems that my third son's wife has fainted!"
When Liu Suqin saw that Lin Xue had fainted, she immediately went over to check on her.
"That damned old woman, she'd rather starve herself and her child than not take the grain back to her parents' home."
"I told you from the beginning that this woman shouldn't be married, she shouldn't be married, but that brat of a third son just wouldn't listen!"
"Well, that damned woman must have starved herself to death!"
The woman cursed for a while longer before getting up from the ground and having several people carry Lin Xue into her house.
When Lin Xue woke up again, she found herself lying in a dimly lit room.
"System, transfer the storyline!"
Lin Xue had received some basic training at the Quick Transmigration Bureau, so she knew some of the fundamental operations.
"The plot transmission has begun. Please remain in a quiet environment and do not be interrupted, otherwise you will not be able to receive the complete plot!"
When the 629 alarm sounded, Lin Xue closed her eyes and continued to pretend to be unconscious to avoid being disturbed.
The original owner's name was Lin Xueni, and she was from the Shanglin Brigade. Her grandparents, parents, and three brothers were all still alive in her family.
The Lin family favored sons over daughters, and girls were seen as commodities to be exchanged. When Lin Xueni got married, the Lin family demanded a dowry of eighty yuan plus fifty catties of grain.
In those days, such a high bride price was not considered marrying off a daughter, but rather selling her.
After Lin Xueni got married, her family members repeatedly asked her for things under the pretext of helping her younger brother.
Lin Xueni is ruthless; she does whatever her family says. She even took all the grain rations that were supposed to be given to her family when her husband was away and brought them back to her parents' home.
Keep in mind, this is their food supply for the next six months.
Let's talk about the Wang family. The original owner married Wang Guoqing, the third son of the Wang family, who was from Qingliu Brigade.
The Wang family has three sons and two daughters; the daughters are all married.
The eldest son, Wang Guodong, married Liu Suqin, and they had one daughter and two sons.
