Chapter 29: Evil Daughter & Cheap Uncle 1



Changsheng: Tongzi, tell me the truth, which group of the quick-travel system are you in?

How come the original bodies she took over are of all kinds? Unlike others, they are either fighting over love, or professionally exposing fake male and female protagonists, or professional cannon fodder who wants to become a regular...

Tongzi: Master, wasn’t I swallowed by Brother Shitou before, and then I was raised by all kinds of rare treasures.

So now I am not weaving, in each world, I will intelligently select the body with the best matching degree for the master in this world.

Changsheng was surprised. She hadn't expected this Tongzi to be of any use. The treasures she and Xiao Shitou had in their space were just sitting there anyway, but she hadn't expected to have such a considerate follower. It wasn't a waste.

Changsheng: By the way, I received a sum of merit points, which is not included in the calculation of Xiao Shitou and me. Do you know where it came from?

Tongzi: Master, I know this. It's because you inadvertently fulfilled the last wish of the host in the previous world. The host's parents were people of great merit. Your appearance changed their family's tragedy. This is their gift to you.

Changsheng: ...I feel like this is a good deal. After all the fragments of the God are recovered, she will be able to ascend to become a fairy, right?

With her qualifications, the path to becoming a god is quite slim!

The reason why there are questions at the beginning is that the original body that provided Changsheng with a body in this world is such a jerk.

After Changsheng received the plot, he really wanted to shed his shell and switch to the next one.

The original He Changsheng had seven brothers and sisters, and she was the fourth child, with two older brothers, an older sister, and a younger brother and a younger sister.

Her mother had been in poor health due to frequent childbirths, and after giving birth to her seventh child, her lochia became even more severe. To save money, she kept seeing half-baked doctors in the village for medicine. After four years of bedridden illness, she finally passed away.

With so many children losing their mother, it would be unbearable for them to be left without anyone to take care of them, especially since there are still some young ones.

In this world, we have only heard of widows who remain widows, but we have never heard of a woman who remains single after her husband dies.

Her father, Hunter He, hastily buried his wife, then turned around and took a penny of silver and asked a matchmaker to ask for Jiang Dani, the eldest daughter of Widow Jiang from the mountain village, to marry him.

Widow Jiang's family moved from another place and lived with her eldest daughter and youngest son. Relying on her good embroidery skills, she gritted her teeth to support her youngest son's education.

In those days, education was too expensive, and most families did not easily send their children to school. Writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone were not something that ordinary farmers could afford.

But based on Widow Jiang's excellent embroidery skills, one can tell that the Jiang family's background is different from that of the peasants. However, Widow Jiang doesn't interact much with the villagers on weekdays, and the door is always closed and rarely opened.

Normally, the Jiang family, an orphan and a widow, would be bullied in Xiashan Village, but on the first day they arrived in Xiashan Village, the village chief came to take care of them, so no one in the village made trouble for them.

If there are those who don't believe in evil, the village chief will step in to suppress them.

Widow Jiang lived her life like a nobody, which made the village chief feel relieved. At least she was not a troublemaker.

Widow Jiang took care of the household, keeping it clean and earning money through embroidery. The eldest daughter took care of the outside work, doing farm work and going to town to deliver goods for money. It would be best if the youngest son could help out, but his main priority was his studies.

As autumn passed and spring arrived, the eldest daughter's marriage was delayed.

It wasn't that no one came to propose marriage, but her youngest son was still young, needed money, and the household chores also needed someone to take care of. Widow Jiang held back on her daughters' marriages, not agreeing to any of them, and only dragged her eldest daughter out until she was 22 years old.

This time he agreed to exchange his eldest daughter's marriage for a high bride price because his youngest son had been ill some time ago and had spent all the family savings.

The Tongshi exam was approaching, and Widow Jiang had to scrape together enough money for her son to take the exam. Even if he only passed the exam as a Tongsheng, it would make the Jiang family more prestigious in the village.

The matchmaker mentioned several families, but after all, it turned out that only the hunter He who lived halfway up the mountain offered a larger gift, and it felt quieter at home.

Widow Jiang rarely left the house and had no close friends in the village with whom she could gossip. Naturally, she had no idea that the matchmaker had accepted a large sum of money from Hunter He and deliberately mentioned other unsuitable candidates to make Hunter He, with his seven children, appear to be a good candidate for a husband.

"Mother, I won't get married. Please leave me at home as a maid. I will work hard to make money and will definitely support my younger brother." Jiang Dani knelt in the side room and begged her mother in a low voice. She was afraid that if her voice was too loud, it would disturb the rest of her younger brother who was just getting better.

"If my family has enough money, I can keep you. When I bought you, I said you would be my son's child bride. But Haoze only sees you as a sister, and Haoze's teacher also said that Haoze has a talent for studying. If he passes the imperial examination, he can marry someone of equal status.

In Xiashan Village, we are an orphan and a widow, so we should just call you the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. As the eldest daughter in the family, I shouldn't have kept you until this age. But life is really difficult at home. My hands are used for embroidery, so I can't do heavy work. I'm afraid of damaging my hands and not being able to touch the finest fabrics, so I have no choice but to keep you.

I had thought that if Haoze passed the imperial examination this year and won the title of scholar, it would make your marriage smoother. But who knew that a serious illness would drain our entire family's savings, and we really couldn't afford the money to take the exam.

"Nier, don't blame your mother for being cruel. As a mother, you have to devote yourself to your own children. When you become a mother, you will understand my difficulties." Widow Jiang felt that she had done her best for Dani. Although she had suffered a lot in the Jiang family, she had never deliberately tortured or treated her harshly.

"Mother, please stop talking. I'm going to marry you." Jiang Dani held her face in her rough hands and cried softly. She had originally thought that she would stay with the Jiang family for the rest of her life, stay by Xiaoze's side, and help Xiaoze and his wife raise their children. She would live her whole life as a self-combed woman, and that would be her perfect life.

She didn't want to get married. She was sold by her father when she was young and passed through several hands. She had had enough of this precarious life. Although life in the Jiang family was hard, her heart was rich.

Listening to Xiaoze's reading voice while working every day was like the sound of nature. After getting married, she would still do these kinds of work to take care of the whole family, and there would be endless anger. The children she would give birth to in the future might be sold off by her family in the blink of an eye.

What does it mean.

Xiaoze from the Jiang family treats her well and treats her like his own sister. She would rather be a maid in the Jiang family for the rest of her life than get married.

However, for Ozawa's future, she had to marry.

"Mother, then choose Mr. Wang's family." Since you are going to get married, then choose the one that gives more money.

"No! My son is a scholar, and he doesn't have an older sister who is a concubine. Haoze will be a high-ranking official in the future, but he will have an older sister who is a concubine. How can he gain a foothold among his colleagues?" She was just a concubine of a small official who could not even be ranked among the officials. The Jiang family did not need to bear such a reputation.
