Chapter 1: Burden
"Wow... I was really blinded by greed. I didn't choose so many men with good conditions, but I chose a damned bastard like you. You said nicely at the beginning that your monthly salary was two taels of silver, and as long as I married you, my daughter and I would not starve. But it's only been a few days, and you got in a fight with someone and your legs were broken..."
"In order to treat your leg, I have incurred a lot of debt. Chen'er has to go to school, and the annual tuition fee is also money. Xiao'er is a sickly person, who has to take medicine every day, and is even more of a bottomless pit. I, Li Taohua, have been smart for most of my life, but I didn't expect to fall into the hands of a damned person like you. I won't live anymore, wuwu..."
Qin Huiyin sat under the eaves, mending her patched clothes.
A woman's crying and scolding could be heard from the room. Every word she said was full of complaints, but her voice was soft and sticky, as if she was trying to act like a spoiled child to a man. The honest and simple man begged her to calm down in a humble manner.
Two months ago, this body's mother, Li Taohua, married the village widower Tang Dafu.
The original owner hit her head while moving things, and when she woke up, she had changed her core and turned into Qin Huiyin, a 21st century internet celebrity blogger.
This world is a book she has read. Qin Huiyin in the book is a cannon fodder and the stepsister of the grassroots male protagonist Tang Yichen.
Creak! The door opened. Li Taohua, wearing brand new clothes, walked out with her slender waist twisted. Seeing Qin Huiyin mending clothes, she snatched the clothes from her hands and threw them aside. She poked her forehead unhappily and said, "Who asked you to do these things? Where is Tang Luwu? She asked you to mend her torn clothes. If you get your hands pricked, I'll tear her skin off."
Tang Luwu is the daughter of the Tang family, and the younger sister of the male protagonist Tang Yichen. The youngest child of the Tang family is Tang Yixiao, who is a sickly person.
Tang Yichen is fourteen years old this year, Tang Luwu is twelve years old, the original owner is eleven years old, and Tang Yixiao is nine years old.
The names of the Tang sisters were all changed. How could country people give themselves such nice names? Their previous names were similar to those of other children in the village, either Gou'erdan'er or Hua'erfang'er. Tang Yichen's name was changed by his teacher after he went to school. Tang Luwu and Tang Yixiao's names were both changed by Tang Yichen.
When Qin Huiyin first merged with the original owner's body, the memories of the two souls in her head kept fighting, and she had a headache for several days and lay in bed for ten days and a half a month. She was originally unconscious because of a head hit, and no one thought it was strange that she complained of a headache afterwards.
After the fusion of memories, Qin Huiyin didn't want to be discovered that she had changed her mind, so she kept in mind the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes, and acted very dull. In fact, in the original novel, in order to cooperate with Li Taohua to marry into the Tang family, the original owner had always been diligent and honest, not talking much and not causing trouble. It was not until Li Taohua married in and the new father's leg was broken that the original owner and Li Taohua revealed their true colors.
Li Taohua has been doing all kinds of stupid things recently. Tang Dafu's leg was injured and he had to lie in bed all day. All the money in the family was spent and they still owed foreign debts. Li Taohua had completely lost her smile. Like most vicious stepmothers, she forced Tang Luwu to work and made her responsible for the housework. Tang Yixiao saw his stepmother torturing his sister like this. It was useless to complain to his father, so he could only help his sister with the work.
As for Tang Yichen, he studied in a private school in the town, and because the journey was a bit far, he didn't come back often. He didn't like his stepmother Li Taohua, but he couldn't resist his father who was bewitched by beauty. He only had two days off each time, and his brother and sister-in-law only reported good news but not bad news, so he didn't know that his stepmother was such a mean and vicious woman behind his back.
Li Taohua pulled Qin Huiyin to a corner and whispered to her, "The doctor said that Tang Dafu's leg may not be healed. We have to make new plans for ourselves."
Qin Huiyin looked at the beautiful woman in front of her with a complicated expression.
She was obviously just a country woman, but her skin was so soft and tender that you could squeeze water out of it. She had a sweet voice that would melt men's bones. She had frivolous eyes and eyebrows, and always showed restlessness.
No matter what kind of woman she is, a weak woman took her young daughter to escape famine thousands of miles away, and did not sell her daughter to others for food like others did. Her love for the original owner is genuine. Since she has become the original owner, she must live well on behalf of the original owner, help her take care of Li Taohua, take her away from the plot of the original novel, and not go against the male protagonist.
"What mother means is..." Qin Huiyin asked, "are we going to leave the Tang family?"
"Tang Dafu and I have already signed a marriage certificate. Unless he dies and I continue to marry another man as a widow, there is no way I can leave the Tang family. And I am a widow who has been married again and again, and each husband I marry has killed him. If Tang Dafu really dies, I'm afraid I will be regarded as a disaster. Forget it, this is my fate, is there any way to force it? Woo woo..." Li Taohua wiped her tears again.
Qin Huiyin: “…”
An anxious shout came from outside the fence. It sounded like the gossipy old lady Zhang from next door. Her voice was getting closer and closer until it reached outside the fence, and then everyone could understand what she was saying.
"Mrs. Dafu, your daughter fell into the water and is dead!"
When Li Taohua heard this, she opened the gate and said softly, "Aunt, our Huiyin is fine here, why are you cursing her?"
Zhang looked at Qin Huiyin behind Li Taohua, curled her lips, and said to Li Taohua fiercely: "I'm talking about that girl Luwu. Didn't you ask her to wash clothes? She fell into the water and was dead when she was found."
When Qin Huiyin heard Zhang say this, the chaos in her mind dissipated and she brought up the content related to Tang Luwu separately.
In that book, the hero's biological mother died early, and his father no longer cared about them after marrying a new wife. Later, his sister drowned and his brother died of illness, all of which were related to his stepmother. After his brother and sister died young, his stepsister, who had taken over his family, enjoyed everything at home. As he got better and better at studying and growing up, she even wanted to climb into his bed, forcing him to leave the village overnight without a penny and go to the capital to take the imperial examination. After he became successful, the first thing he did was to go back to the village to deal with the vicious mother and daughter, letting them be bitten to death by wild dogs.
As for his father, he was his biological father after all, so he didn't kill him, but he didn't let him go either. He gave the clan a sum of money, removed Tang Dafu from the clan, confiscated his land, and drove him out of the village, forcing the lame man to be a beggar for the rest of his life to repent for the tragic death of his brother and sister.
Tang Luwu was drowned in this accident, and this was also the beginning of the male protagonist's hatred for the mother and daughter.
Oh my god, Qin Huiyin was sweating profusely, but her mother still looked like she had nothing to do with it. That was a life, how could her mother be so indifferent? She looked like a cannon fodder.
Qin Huiyin ran outside and her voice came over: "Mom, I can run fast, I'll go see my sister first."
