When the little girl's soul saw that scene, tears of blood flowed uncontrollably.
After absorbing the memories, Tang Baozhu felt that the original owner of the body was mentally unstable.
Her own father loved her so much, yet she didn't believe the person he trusted, but instead believed a smooth-talking liar.
It's truly unacceptable that someone with so much wealth at home could still live like this.
Suddenly, a detail from my memory came to mind: after the scholar's father was buried, it seemed that a thief broke into the house and stole 200 taels of silver.
Fortunately, the family's land deeds, house deeds, and other important items were stored away separately; otherwise, the losses would have been even greater.
Since I'm all alone at home now, I should quickly put away all my valuables.
Now that we know, we shouldn't give others a chance.
I carefully stood up, feeling that my legs were completely numb; I had been kneeling for far too long.
In the little girl's memory, her scholar father told her where the family's things were hidden.
Tang Baozhu now only needs to hide all those things.
Unexpectedly, after finding the items, there were even more than the little girl had sorted out in her previous life.
It seems there are quite a few people trying to take advantage of the situation, but I wonder who got the money.
The silver totaled over five hundred taels, and as for the gold, there was a small clip filled to the brim with gold, something I hadn't found in my previous life.
Looking at the gold in the small box, I roughly calculated that it was more than 2,000 taels of silver.
The fact that only a little over three hundred taels of silver from my past life was found shows how outrageous those people were. It's obvious without even asking that it was the villagers who did it.
There were several land deeds, totaling about 120 mu of land, but in her previous life, the little girl only found land deeds for 50 mu.
The more Tang Baozhu searched, the angrier she became. She was determined to find the thief and teach him a lesson.
There are also the jewelry that the little girl usually wears, including gold, silver, and beaded ornaments.
Although she herself thought these things were just ordinary, the little girl was the envy of everyone in the village.
After collecting all the unused fabrics and valuables from the house, they knelt obediently in front of the mourning hall.
Although he came to change her fate and the two of them made a deal, he had at least taken possession of the young girl's body, so it was only right that he do his duty to show her some filial piety.
She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she felt a chill in the air.
Quickly pick up the paper and folded gold ingots next to you, put them in the brazier and let them burn.
While burning paper money, he kept muttering, "Don't blame me, don't blame me. I didn't mean to take over your daughter's body. I made a deal with her. Her life was too miserable. I'm here to live her life again in her place."
She kept muttering to herself, and the feeling of being chilled by the wind disappeared. It seemed that the scholar's father's spirit hadn't left and was still watching.
Tang Baozhu quickly burned more paper money for him, so that he wouldn't run out of money down there and would come back up to ask her for more.
Originally, Tang Baozhu, who grew up under nine years of compulsory education, was a firm believer in science. However, since her transmigration, her faith has been shattered, and she should still believe in what she believes in.
It's better to be humble and honest, and obediently burn more for him so that he won't cause you any trouble.
I fell asleep without realizing it, but suddenly woke up with a start. The paper in the basin had already burned to ashes.
It was just getting light outside. I didn't know how long I had been half asleep, so I quickly knelt down and started burning paper money again.
As dawn broke, voices could be heard coming from outside.
By listening to the voices and recalling the little girl's memories, she gradually became familiar with everyone.
The village chief also came. After all, he was the only scholar in the village to have passed away, and everyone respected him. So almost everyone in the village came.
Even the pretty boy who cheated the young girl showed up, but judging from his slovenly appearance, it's hard to tell if the girl was blind or what, that she actually fell for a scoundrel.
However, the young girl spent her days at home embroidering and learning to read, rarely going out, and had barely even seen her fiancé.
She's never seen much of the world, so she was easily fooled by a pretty boy.
Under the village chief's care, the scholar's father was quickly buried, and a meal was served afterward.
The village chief's wife, along with several of her daughters-in-law, helped with the arrangements.
She had done her best, but when she returned from the mountain, Tang Baozhu found signs that her house had been ransacked.
While eating, she carefully observed the villagers and noticed that the good-for-nothing who had married the young girl was acting suspiciously.
Of course, he wasn't the only one; there were also his few cronies who hung out with him.
The good-for-nothing's surname was Li, and he gave himself a catchy name: Li Fugui (meaning "Li Rich and Noble").
Tang Baozhu knew what was going on when she saw them. She decided she should take revenge later. How could someone steal from someone else's house and not be punished?
After the villagers finished eating, most of them left, leaving only the village chief's family to do some final calculations.
Tang Baozhu is required to reciprocate some of the gifts given by others; this is very important and must not be lost.
The village chief's family also helped with the meals, and we have to pay them back whatever amount was spent.
After settling the accounts, the village chief and his family left. As for the tables, chairs, bowls, chopsticks, and other items, the villagers took them home with them.
Tang Baozhu was left all alone in this huge house.
Now that we have some time, we can take a good look at the overall structure of the house.
The house is a typical courtyard house, with five main rooms and three rooms each in the east and west wings.
The house is indeed a bit too big for just the father and daughter.
When the little girl was still young, her scholar father found someone in the village to take care of her.
She was eventually dismissed because of her dishonesty, and since the little girl was five or six years old and gradually learned to take care of herself, they didn't hire anyone else.
After a whole day and night of tossing and turning, I felt completely exhausted and just wanted to lie on the kang (heated brick bed) and not move at all.
Most people in the village are surnamed Li. The Tang family moved here decades ago and has become quite integrated into Qingshan Village after living together for so long.
Why is the village called Qingshan Village? It's because the village is surrounded by mountains on two sides, and they are the kind of mountains that are so tall that few people dare to go there.
However, the young girl's fiancé, Li Jun, a hunter, was an exception. There was no place he dared not go, and he was also quite skilled.
It seems that Li Jun's father fought in the frontier before, got wounded, and then came back.
Li Jun was a child his father adopted from outside, because his father was seriously injured and had never married.
