"That jinx, I'm going to kick her out of this house today!"
"Sister-in-law, take a break."
"How could I not be angry? The old sage even appeared in my dream and said that I had a big, fat grandson. It's all her fault. That jinx insisted on going into the delivery room. Otherwise, how could the second son's family have given birth to such a money-losing child?"
"Oh dear, why is my life so miserable? Ever since my eldest son married this thing, nothing in my family has gone smoothly."
"A jinx gave birth to a jinx, both of them cursed my husband to death! No matter what, I'm going to kick these two good-for-nothings out the door today, and nobody can stop me!"
Fang Qing was awakened by the noise in the yard. Her head was throbbing with pain, and she felt like she wasn't herself.
Those memories that weren't her own made her feel depressed.
These are clearly the memories of a six-year-old child, yet every single one of them is painful.
She is now in a world that never existed in history. She is currently in a small mountain village. The original owner of this body was named Douya, and she lived in a family that was extremely patriarchal.
The person making a fuss outside is Bean Sprout's grandmother, a thin and mean-spirited old woman.
Bean Sprout was mistreated to death by the old woman. Just because Bean Sprout knew some things about her, the old woman slapped Bean Sprout against the door frame. Bean Sprout lay in bed for two days and just now died, allowing the old woman to take over her body.
The noise outside continued, and Fang Qing could feel the lingering resentment and grief in this body.
The little bean sprout is sad for her mother.
The old woman had two sons. The eldest son was Douya's father. He married a woman and had Douya. Not long after, the old woman's husband died. The old woman blamed all of this on her eldest daughter-in-law, Zhao, and often made things difficult for Zhao and Douya.
As for the second son, he was studying in the county town. Last year, he passed the county examination and married the daughter of a merchant family in the county town. His wife was looking forward to her second daughter-in-law giving birth to a big, fat grandson every day, and she made her second daughter-in-law try all kinds of folk remedies. But last night, her second daughter-in-law gave birth to a girl.
The old woman lost her beloved, chubby grandson, so she vented all her anger on her eldest daughter-in-law.
The uproar last night continued until now, and it was only in despair that Douya left this world.
Douya was timid and dared not resist the old woman, but Fang Qing was different.
Now that she has taken over this body, she should do something for it.
Fang Qing's injured head was still throbbing, but she dragged her heavy body out of bed. As she walked out of the room, she saw circles of people outside.
Bean Sprout's mother, Zhao, was disheveled, with several handprints on her face, wiping away tears as she was protected behind several young wives.
"No one can stop me today. I'm determined to kick this jinx out of the house."
Despite the attempts of those around her to stop her, the old woman still went to hit Zhao.
Without thinking twice, Fang Qing grabbed a stick from the doorway and swung it over there.
Before anyone could react, the stick struck the old woman squarely on the head.
"Ouch! Which bastard hit me?!"
Fang Qing stood fearlessly in front of Zhao Shi, holding a stick and confronting the old woman.
"I'll teach you to bully my mother again!"
She felt the body trembling; it was the dregs of Bean Sprout's remaining consciousness.
In my memory, Douya wouldn't even dare to raise her voice, let alone rebel against the old woman like that.
Not only the old woman, but everyone in the yard was stunned by her sudden action.
"Bean Sprout, are you out of your mind? How dare you hit your grandma? Put the stick down right now."
"That's right, eldest son, you need to take care of Douya. She's so young and already so unruly. What will she be like when she grows up?"
The people who said this were the old women standing next to the old woman, and they seemed to be on her side.
The old woman came to her senses and glared at Fang Qing with her fierce eyes.
"You, you actually dared to hit me!"
"That's exactly what I'm going to do!"
"They've all gone mad! Everyone, come and see what kind of wretched child my good daughter-in-law has raised!"
The old woman sat down on the ground and began to cry, and the onlookers in the courtyard all looked at Fang Qing and Zhao Shi with strange eyes.
"Bean sprouts..."
Zhao reached out to pull Fang Qing, trying to stop her.
“Mother, don’t be afraid. It’s one thing for her to bully us on ordinary days, but now she’s actually trying to kick us out of the house. I can’t stand it anymore.”
Zhao, with her gentle nature, only knew how to wipe away tears. At this moment, she just wanted to pull Fang Qing back to avoid upsetting the old woman.
"Bean sprout, be a good boy..."
“Bean Sprout, what are you saying? Your grandma has worked hard for this family. How is it that your grandma is bullying you? You should have a conscience when you say such things.”
Fang Qing smiled, pointing the stick in her hand at the person who had spoken.
In my memory, this person was Douya's father's second aunt. This person and the old woman had never gotten along. Now she was just standing here making sarcastic remarks, wanting to see their family make a fool of themselves.
“Second Grandma must know our family situation best. Since my mother married into this family, she has done all the housework, inside and out. She hasn’t bought a single new piece of clothing in all these years. I’m sure all the neighbors have seen this. Who is really making the most of this family? Second Grandma can’t go against her conscience.”
Some five- or six-year-old children can't even speak properly, but Fang Qing not only spoke these words clearly, but also made the second grandmother's face turn unpleasant.
"How can you talk like that, child? No matter how much work your mother has done, it's wrong for her as a woman to not be able to give birth to a son. She can't stand up straight in this family! Your grandmother says she's going to divorce her, and no one can stop her."
As she spoke, the second grandmother looked at Fang Qing with a smug expression.
Seeing that someone was speaking up for her, the old woman became even more arrogant.
"That's right, no matter what, I'm going to kick these two jinxes out of the house today."
Zhao wiped away her tears and shielded Fang Qing behind her.
"Mother, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me. My sister-in-law just gave birth, and we need help at home right now."
"Pah! You two have given birth to worthless children, and you still have the nerve to be served? Get out of here right now, and don't bother packing your things. There's no place for either of you in this house."
As the old woman was about to pull Zhao Shi away, Fang Qing waved a stick and blocked Zhao Shi's way.
"Don't even think about it! You ruthless old hag who eats people without spitting out the bones, even a rabbit will bite when cornered. Since you won't give us a way out, then I don't need to give you any face either."
Fang Qing's words startled the old woman for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.
How could a child possibly know some of these things?
"I think you're talking nonsense!"
"Nonsense? You dare say you didn't plan to kick my mother and me out of the house and then have us sold to another town?"
After Fang Qing finished speaking, everyone in the courtyard looked shocked, and their expressions changed as they looked at the old woman.
It's understandable to divorce a wife because she can't give birth to a son, since there are quite a few wives in the village who divorce for this reason.
Only someone who can't make ends meet would do something like buying and selling people. This old man isn't afraid of shortening his lifespan by doing such a thing.
