When I opened my eyes again, I saw a house with an antique wooden structure.
There was no one in the room at the moment, and Lin Xue was lying on a slightly worn-out bed.
The door was tightly shut, and there was no sound from outside. Lin Xue had no idea what was going on, so she could only mentally call on the system.
"629, check the surrounding environment!"
Having learned from her previous experience of having her memory transfer interrupted, Lin Xue immediately checked her surroundings.
"Host, you are home alone right now. The front door is locked and your bedroom door is closed. No one should disturb you!"
After investigating, 629 told Lin Xue what he had discovered.
"Let's transfer the plot while we're still safe!"
Upon hearing that she was the only person in the house and wouldn't be disturbed by outsiders for a while, Lin Xue immediately instructed 629 to begin the storyline transmission.
"bite!"
"Story transmission in progress, please receive!"
The original owner of this world was a scholar's wife, who shared the same name as Lin Xue.
Speaking of the original owner, he was an absolutely amazing person!
This man was once a refugee who had suffered from natural disasters and fled to Huangjia Village.
He was taken in by a kind family in Huangjia Village. At first, out of gratitude to this family, he would rush to do everything and behaved very obediently!
Later, she even seduced a scholar in the family and became the daughter-in-law of the Huang family!
The old man in this family is named Huang Yousheng, and the old woman is named Meihua, also known as Huang Meishi, or Huang Laotaitai!
The eldest son was named Huang Dequan. He married a woman surnamed Liu and they had a son named Huang Zhiqiang.
The second son was named Huang Degui, who married a woman surnamed Zhang and they had a son named Huang Zhiyuan.
The youngest son, Huang Dehai, married the original owner of the house, and they had twin children, Huang Zhixin and Huang Cuijuan.
Ever since the original owner gave birth to these twins, she felt that she had made the greatest contribution, so she started to act arrogantly in the Huang family.
Shortly after she gave birth to twins, Huang Dehai passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, which made the original owner even more arrogant.
The original owner of the Huang family was a troublemaker, demanding the best food, lodging, and other amenities.
She even mistreated the two elderly people in the family when Huang Dehai was not around, and bullied her second sister-in-law's family who lived in the same house!
The eldest son, Huang Dequan, ran a small eatery in town, so the whole family of three moved there and rarely came back!
The third son, Huang Dehai, had to attend school at the academy and left early and returned late every day, so he didn't know much about the family's situation.
Only the second son, Huang Degui, and his family of three stayed at home, busy with farm work.
The original owner's second sister-in-law, Zhang, was also someone she often bullied.
The original owner felt that she had married a scholar and had already escaped the status of a commoner, so she looked down on her second sister-in-law's family.
The eldest son, Huang Dequan, ran a small restaurant in town and didn't come back often, so he didn't have much interaction with Lin Xue. However, his second sister-in-law worked with her every day, so they saw each other almost every day!
The original owner of this body was a heartless person who always pushed her own work onto her second sister-in-law, and even secretly beat and scolded her second sister-in-law, Zhang, behind her back.
Zhang was also a weak-willed person. No matter how the original owner beat and scolded her, she always gritted her teeth and endured it.
She dared not complain to the men in her family, nor did she dare speak to the elders above her.
Her family members might have sensed something, but since Zhang herself didn't say anything, they didn't pay much attention.
However, the original owner of this body was such a terrible person that, besides finding fault with Zhang Shi all the time, she even abused the two elderly people in the family.
Whenever the two elderly people wanted to rest at home, the original owner would use harsh words to berate them, forcing them to pick up farm tools and go to work in the fields.
Throughout the entire Huangjia Village, the original owner looked down on everyone and couldn't get along with anyone.
This made the villagers think that the original owner was an arrogant person who looked down on the peasants from the countryside, so they were even less willing to talk to her!
If that were all there was to it, then life might still be bearable.
Who knew that when Zhang took her two wives and three children back to her parents' home, the two elderly people in the family suddenly fell ill. The original owner not only refused to find a doctor or get medicine for them, but also refused to cook for them.
The two elderly people were already seriously ill from a cold, and with no food in their stomachs, they died from hunger and discomfort.
After the two old people died, the original owner was afraid that the three brothers would divide the family property. At that time, she would not only have to do the housework, but she would also have to earn the money for her husband's imperial examination.
The original owner of this body didn't have that ability at all; she actually wanted to cling to her two older brothers and drink their blood!
So the original owner fabricated another story, saying that his parents-in-law told them before they died that the Huang family could not be divided, thus binding the two brothers, Huang Dequan and Huang Degui, to his family's dilapidated ship!
Later, his second sister-in-law gave birth to another baby girl. At this time, Huang Dehai was about to go to the prefectural city to take the imperial examination to become a scholar. Because his family could not raise enough money, the original owner directly stole Zhang's baby, who was still in swaddling clothes, and sold her to a slave trader.
Because of the sudden loss of her daughter, Zhang felt extremely guilty, and so far no one has suspected the original owner of the body of the deceased.
Not long after, Zhang died of grief over the loss of her daughter, and Lin Xue lost a strong helper. From then on, all the housework fell on her shoulders.
The original owner was unwilling to do so, so she directly raised Huang Degui's son to do housework for him.
They spoil their own children like precious treasures, never letting them do any chores.
The father and son of Huang Degui were used like old oxen by the original owner for less than two years.
Huang Degui died young because he missed his wife so much.
The child, Huang Zhiyuan, was left behind. Unable to endure the torment from his third aunt, he chose to run away from home and go to a distant place.
Without the second son's family working like slaves for him, the original owner's life began to become difficult.
Only then did she think about educating her two children, but unfortunately, her son and daughter had already been spoiled by her and were impossible to change.
After the elderly couple passed away, Huang Dequan and his family distanced themselves from their home. He lived with his wife and children in a small eatery in town and had no intention of returning to the village.
Without the help of Huang Degui's family, Lin Xue had to do housework and take on laundry jobs to supplement the family income.
Unable to endure it any longer, the original owner began borrowing money from his neighbors. Due to the blow to his family, Huang Dehai failed to pass the imperial examination this time.
After failing the exam, Huang Dehai didn't want to take it again. He wanted to find a job as a shopkeeper in town to support his wife and children.
Unfortunately, the original owner was unwilling; she still had a dream of becoming an official's wife that she hadn't fulfilled.
They insisted that Huang Dehai continue his studies and strive to pass the imperial examination to become a Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial-level imperial examinations).
