The brothers were very satisfied with Xia Tianxiu's performance.
The husband, Yang Dashu, was very gratified: "Although life in the mountains has been tough these past few years, if we persevere and Xiaoshu and I gather herbs and hunt, we can still make a living!"
Yang Xiaoshu, the younger brother-in-law, also exclaimed, "My sister-in-law is a good woman! Our family's luck is about to change!"
Summer Show was amazed by the idyllic life here.
This wooden house and courtyard does indeed belong to a village located several mountains away, but no one has ever cared about their affairs.
The family's main source of income was the production of primary leather goods made from tanned animal hides.
There are also some mountain delicacies from the forest that are resold through illegal channels to buy essential food supplies—Xia Tianxiu thought of Chef Wang from the black market in Sanhe County and couldn't help but grit her teeth.
Yang Dashu told her that his family had cleared a plot of land on the back mountain and planted grain, but in June, a landslide occurred due to heavy rain, and this year's harvest was completely lost.
"But Xiuer, don't worry, we still have stored grain, we'll have no problem getting through the winter!" Yang Dashu quickly reassured Xia Tianxiu when he saw that she looked a little off. "As long as our family works together, we'll always be able to make a good life!"
Xia Tianxiu nodded, tears welling in her eyes: "Brother Dashu, my parents treated me badly, that's why they sold me. You're much better to me than they were, I promise I'll live a good life with you!"
Two weeks later, Xia Tianxiu figured out the way out of the mountains.
The next day, she told Yang Xiaoshu that she actually liked him, not his brother.
The two Yang brothers had a fierce fight.
Xia Tianxiu helped Yang Xiaoshu and they beat up Yang Dashu together.
Yang Dashu was severely injured, losing a leg and both arms.
The leg was injured when Summer Xiu picked up a big rock and hit it.
The two men's mother climbed into the yard and begged the brothers to stop.
Yang Xiaoshu stopped and announced that Xia Tianxiu was his.
The two carried Yang Dashu to his and Xia Tianxiu's new house, then turned and left.
That night, Xia Tianxiu stayed at Yang Xiaoshu's house.
In the middle of the night, taking advantage of Yang Xiaoshu's exhaustion, she stabbed him in the heart with a dagger she had stolen during the day.
Yang Xiaoshu convulsed a few times and then died.
Immediately afterwards, Xia Tianxiu went into Yang Dashu's house and made several cuts on his body, causing blood to gush out.
Yang Dashu glared at Xia Tianxiu with hatred: "No wonder your parents sold you! You're a bad seed!"
Xia Tianxiu acted as if she hadn't heard him, and plunged the dagger in her hand down again, twisting the handle on Yang Dashu's thigh.
Yang Dashu's scream pierced the night sky.
Xia Tianxiu asked coldly, "Do you want to die, or do you want to live?"
Yang Dashu asked weakly, "What did you do to the little tree?"
"Kill them," Xia Tianxiu said coldly. "You beasts deserve to die!"
"You're so heartless, you'll die a horrible death!" Yang Dashu cursed before fainting.
Xia Tianxiu stabbed another knife into the other thigh: "Stop playing dead, where did you keep your money?"
"What money do you have left?" Yang Dashu smiled bitterly. "It took me more than ten years to save enough to buy you. Otherwise, why do you think Xiaoshu would be so easily swayed by your provocation and turn against me? My silly little brother knows that it will take another ten years for the family to find him a wife!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Tianxiu carefully observed Yang Dashu's expression and, seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, she turned around and slit his throat.
After Yang Dashu died, Xia Tianxiu went to the old lady's house again.
The old lady had climbed out during the day to try and break up the fight, and it had taken her too much effort. Although she heard the commotion, she no longer had the strength to get up.
Xia Tianxiu pressed her for details about where the family's money was, and the old lady gave the same answer.
Furthermore, taking advantage of Xia Tianxiu's inattention, the old lady bit her arm.
She cried out in pain and tried to dodge, but the old woman snatched the dagger from her.
Then, with all his might, he pushed her hard.
Xia Tianxiu lost her balance and staggered backward.
As she collapsed, she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, as if the mountain winds had blown into her body, and all her strength was instantly drained away.
With a loud thud, the back of her head slammed heavily against the threshold.
The old woman who pushed her lost her balance and fell on top of her.
...
After an unknown amount of time, Xia Tianxiu woke up.
The moment she woke up, she found the old woman lying on top of her, already stiff with death, her body already starting to stink.
Xia Tianxiu quickly reached out and pushed her away.
"I'm not dead?!" she exclaimed in surprise, standing up.
But then he immediately collapsed to the ground.
Because countless memories are surging towards her like a tide!
Her brain suddenly throbbed with pain.
About three minutes later, all the memories had been received.
Summer Xiu remembered everything from her past life.
She didn't go to the countryside in her past life.
In the black market of Haicheng, she, who sold embroidery, met Su Yin, who resold radios, and the two hit it off.
The Xia family disapproved of Su Yin, so she resolutely broke with her adoptive parents and married Su Yin with nothing.
Su Yin did not let her down.
With the relaxation of policies, Su Yin's business moved from underground to above ground, and he gradually became the richest man in Haicheng.
And she became the wife of the richest man in Haicheng!
Not only that, she also gave birth to twin sons and a daughter.
The children are all very promising.
She truly enjoyed decades of good life.
Unfortunately, Su Yin later fell ill, underwent three kidney transplants, and ultimately did not survive.
And she became the richest widow in Haicheng.
She started to let loose and started dating men who were twenty or thirty years younger than her.
She lived a very carefree life with the money left behind by Su Yin.
In her later years, her medical and caregiver team consisted of more than thirty people!
She lived to the age of ninety-eight before passing away peacefully.
After Xia Tianxiu finished recalling everything from her previous life, she suddenly opened her eyes.
She had realized that she had been brought back to life!
But why is this life different from the last?
Su Yin...
Thinking of Su Yin, her heart ached.
In this life, when he was forced to separate from Su Yin, Su Yin was already in a coma with a high fever.
Is Su Yin... still alive?
Xia Tianxiu calmed down and quickly analyzed the current situation.
In this life, she must be with Su Yin to live a good life again!
But what should she do?
While pondering, Xia Tianxiu carefully searched through the already rotting corpses of the three Yang family members.
Then, they dragged the bodies to the middle of the yard and threw them one by one into the well.
They brought in a lot of soil and filled the well in place.
Having done all this, Xia Tianxiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat by the well, her gaze seemingly drifting into the distance, or perhaps into endless memories.
