It was the fifteenth day of the fifth month. The moon was bright and the night was cool as water. You could hear a pin drop in the cold courtyard.
The visitor was wearing a narrow-sleeved grey gown, the hem of which was too long, tied at either ankle. Her long hair flowed lightly in the evening breeze, filling the air with a faint fragrance.
"Master Wife?"
Mu Lige was surprised. The clothes were indeed his clothes, and the figure was indeed the same as his wife's, but he always felt something was different.
As the distance between the two of them closed, Mu Lige finally got a clear look at her. Without her usual heavy makeup, the woman revealed a delicate and pretty face.
A pair of bright and clear eyes have hidden the previous anxiety and perverseness, appearing both clear and cold under the moonlight; a pair of long and thin curved eyebrows have lost their former thickness and disorder, and are as clear and beautiful as the crescent moon hanging under the forehead.
A straight and pretty nose is small and exquisite, round and cute, crystal clear and smooth, as if it is a finely carved jade; a warm and gentle little mouth has clear edges and corners, lips like pearls, teeth like shells, just like a delicate and beautiful blooming flower.
However, the woman in front of him was beautiful in appearance, but she exuded a cold and indifferent aura.
Hua Qingcheng was actually quite pretty, but she kept listening to her bad friend Hua Youcai's instigation, often wearing heavy makeup, and becoming increasingly slovenly. The two of them always hung out together, uneducated and idle, spending their days eating, drinking and having fun.
Hua Qingcheng's father Ye Mao was afraid that his daughter would not be able to marry in the future. Six years ago in the winter, he happened to see someone bringing a handsome thirteen-year-old boy to his village for refugee. He spent one or two taels of silver to buy him back and made him a child husband for Hua Qingcheng, who was only ten years old at the time.
This was the first time in six years that Mu Lige saw Hua Qingcheng's true appearance.
"Here, take it back to the utility room and put it away."
While Mu Lige was in a daze, Hua Qingcheng had already handed a small piece of soap bean to him.
The slightly cool touch on his hand was fleeting, scratching Mu Lige's heart like a feather, causing his handsome face to heat up slightly and his ears to turn slightly red, but all his emotions were well hidden by the night.
"Wife...wife, I...I'll just dry it!"
Mu Lige took the wooden basin from Hua Qingcheng's hand and ran to the backyard, his back looking embarrassed and hurried.
Hua Qingcheng saw that the original owner's doctor was so attentive, and was afraid that if she said no, the other party would think that she had something against them, so she had no choice but to let him do it.
Mu Lige went back to the backyard to hang up the clothes, and even when he returned to his room, he still felt his heart beating non-stop for the woman who amazed him in the moonlight.
Although Mu Lige disliked Hua Qingcheng, he tolerated her misbehavior because the Hua family had done him a favor.
Three years ago, thirteen-year-old Hua Qingcheng found Situ Ye, who had fainted from hunger, at the village entrance. After bringing him home, she announced that the fifteen-year-old Situ Ye would be her second husband.
Two years ago, when the fourteen-year-old Hua Qingcheng went up the mountain to catch rabbits, she met the injured Han Yichen again. After picking him up, the fifteen-year-old Han Yichen became her third husband.
A year ago, fifteen-year-old Hua Qingcheng and Hua Youcai went to a blue-faced shop and met the courtesan Yu Xiaotian. They were attracted by his beauty. Seeing that someone had bought him, Hua Qingcheng shamelessly pestered the other party to gamble, thus winning back Sifulang.
Although his wife said at night that she had turned over a new leaf after a near-death experience, Mu Lige always felt that his wife was very different today.
My former wife was sloppy, lazy, selfish, and gluttonous. She did nothing all day long and only knew how to eat, drink and have fun with her friends.
Today's wife is clean and hardworking, considerate of others, and efficient in doing things. She even fought with the landlord Hua Fugui who had moved to the town for her fourth brother.
While makeup can be altered, eyes can never be deceived. Previously, the wife's eyes were cloudy and dim, filled with anxiety, lust, and hostility. But today, the wife's eyes are clear and piercing, radiating confidence and integrity from within.
Can a person really change so much before and after?
While Mu Lige was puzzled by Hua Qingcheng's abnormal behavior today, Hua Qingcheng was also tossing and turning in the room, sorting out everything that had happened today.
While on a mission in the morning, although he stopped the terrorists from attacking, he also fell from the plane into the sea. When he woke up, he came to this strange world.
Since God has given Hua Qingcheng a second chance to live, she should try her best to survive in this strange world!
But the most pressing issue right now was survival. Although she had received ten taels of silver from Hua Fugui during the day, she had to keep the money to pay off the original owner's gambling debts and not touch it. After all, she was now occupying someone else's body, so she had to help her deal with those troubles.
However, Hua Qingcheng was an excellent agent, and she couldn't just be a hands-off boss like the original owner, living off her husbands by embroidering and making clothes to supplement the family income.
As the saying goes, "live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water." The original owner's residence was right at the end of the village, nestled against Pinglan Mountain. Since Hua Qingcheng was unfamiliar with the area, she decided to head up the mountain tomorrow to explore, perhaps hunting some game and digging up some wild vegetables. She'd first address her food and clothing needs before considering other matters.
Having made up her mind, Hua Qingcheng fell asleep feeling relieved.
At midnight, Huaqiao Village was completely silent. The villagers had gone to bed early to recharge their batteries for tomorrow's farming.
However, at this time, the four husbands of the old house of the Hana family at the end of the village had not yet rested and gathered in the secret room under Mu Lige's bedroom.
