Chi Yu has a low alcohol tolerance; although he won't get drunk after just one cup, he can only handle about one and a half cups.
Still waking up from a hangover, she closed her eyes, rubbed her temples, and called out, "Sis, give me a glass of honey water!"
To her surprise, she was met with a barrage of vile insults.
Just as she opened her eyes, intending to see what was going on, the door was opened.
"Drink, drink, drink! What a load of crap! You can't even have children, how dare you drink honey?"
I said before that the baby in your belly is obviously an unlucky money-loser.
You insist on not listening and keep giving me soup and water to nourish me properly.
And what happened? It was born a short-lived thing that wouldn't even live three days!"
The newcomer was a woman in her early forties, with a thin face, prominent cheekbones, and droopy eyes.
With her pursed lips and those inverted V-shaped eyebrows, she is a typical example of a mean old woman on television.
Chi Yu frowned as she watched her come in, and before she could figure out what was going on, she saw the woman say with a look of disgust:
“Your sister-in-law gave birth yesterday too. She’s lucky; she had a boy. We don’t have much stuff at home, so we need to take care of her first.”
"If you want to eat something, you'll have to bring the money."
As soon as she finished speaking, her palms were facing upwards.
It was at this moment that many images flashed through Chi Yu's mind, all of them memories of the original owner.
And she, who loved reading novels, knew at that moment that she had transmigrated into a book called "After the Natural Disaster, I Married My Eldest Sister-in-Law".
The male protagonist in the book is named Qi Mingyu, and the female protagonist is named Zhuang Zilan.
One was a widowed sister-in-law, and the other was a widowed brother-in-law.
Constrained by societal norms and etiquette, even though they harbored feelings for each other, they remained mindful of their place and dared not overstep any boundaries.
After enduring natural disasters, famine, and the pain of losing their child, the two went through many twists and turns before finally coming together with their parents' blessings.
After marriage, Zhuang Zilan gave birth to two sons and a daughter.
It was precisely because of her gentleness, thoughtfulness, and virtuousness that Qi Mingyu first became a Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial-level imperial examinations), then a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest-level imperial examinations), and finally rose to the rank of fourth-grade official and became a prefect.
And she, Chi Yu, is currently the cannon fodder original wife of the male lead Qi Mingyu.
Because of the stillbirth, she became depressed and ruined her health.
He eventually went mad, treating his sister-in-law's unborn child as his own, and before he died, he left his entire dowry to him!
But now, based on the original owner's memories, she discovered that it wasn't like that at all.
The idea that sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law are dutiful and dare not overstep their bounds is all nonsense.
This scumbag husband is already taking on two wives, okay?
The story in the book about Zhuang Zilan's experience of losing her son during her escape from famine, and how it was said to be a posthumous child, is all completely fabricated.
That's clearly the child of that scumbag husband Qi Mingyu.
However, the whole family knew about this, and they conspired to keep it a secret from the original owner.
Oh, the original owner's premature birth was also due to her sister-in-law Zhuang Zilan's provocative words, and even worse, she pushed her while she was in a daze.
After the original owner collapsed, she cried out in pain, saying that she was about to give birth.
After that, the whole family was worried about her going, and no one cared about the original owner who had also collapsed and was about to give birth.
Thinking about all this, and then about Zhuang Zilan's attitude towards children in the book, she had a gut feeling.
Perhaps the original owner didn't give birth to a stillborn child; the son Zhuang Zilan gave birth to was hers!
After all, the original owner's brothers would visit the child during festivals and give him wild game, furs, and money to spend.
The older brother even implied that the child looked like him.
There's an old saying: a nephew is like his uncle!
In addition, the book says that the original owner was crazy and treated the posthumous child as her own, which made her suspicious.
