"Da Ya, is your mother awake yet?"
"not yet."
"She can really sleep! Wake her up! Don't think she can get away with playing dead!"
Yang Cui vaguely heard a sharp sound. She opened her eyes and found herself in front of a mud-brick house with a thatched roof. Her back felt stiff and uncomfortable. Before she could react, two thin, pale-faced little girls rushed over with teary eyes and grabbed her hands...
"Mother, you're awake."
"Mother, are you in pain? Please don't abandon me, sob sob sob..."
mother? ? ?
Yang Cui was stunned!
Immediately afterwards, a throbbing pain shot through my head, and a flood of memories that didn't belong to me rushed into my mind!
After a long while, Yang Cui finally realized that she had transmigrated into a book!
He transmigrated into a book called "The Third Scholar's Son-in-Law".
Even more tragically, she transmigrated into a cannon fodder character in the book, a divorced woman, who was also the male protagonist's ex-wife.
Coincidentally, this cannon fodder divorced woman is also named Yang Cui. She is eighteen years old this year and is a married virgin. Two years ago, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, her older sister died from overwork. In order to prevent her three nieces from being abused by their unscrupulous stepmother, and because Yang's parents were unwilling to lose the marriage with the Lin family, they arranged for her to marry her brother-in-law Lin Shikang in the twelfth lunar month of that year. It has been two and a half years since then.
A loud "bang" interrupted Yang Cui's thoughts.
The door was kicked open, and several elderly men and women entered.
Yang Cui has the original owner's memories, so she knows all these people and knows what they want to do.
Among these people, the most ferocious old woman is the original owner's mother-in-law, Madam Fan. The others are the head of the Lin clan, Elder Lin Qi, Elder Lin Sanjin, and their respective wives or daughters-in-law.
The Lin clan chief spoke up: "Yang, you have been in the Lin family for almost three years, and you have not given birth to a single child. Now the Lin family is divorcing you on the grounds of not having a son. What do you have to say for yourself?"
Now that Yang Cui has become Yang Cui, she must accept her love, hate, and grudges.
She stood up and said, "Of course I have something to say! The reason I can't have a son is because Lin Shikang hasn't consummated our marriage even after all this time! How am I supposed to have a child on my own? With a ghost?
The crowd erupted in uproar!
The fact that Yang Cui and Lin Shikang did not have a marital relationship was known only to Yang's family and Lin Shikang and his mother.
This is quite absurd. It is said that because Yang Liu's body was not yet cold, a fortune teller said that the two should not sleep together for three years. Therefore, even though Lin Shikang and Yang Cui had been married for two and a half years, she was still a virgin.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Madam Fan refused to admit it!
Yang Cui also knew that things had come to this point, and neither the Fan family nor the Lin family would admit it, since they would use the fact that she had no children to divorce her!
"You've been married for almost three years, and you're saying you haven't consummated your marriage? Who would believe that?"
"Whether a woman is a virgin or not, can't you just find out by checking?"
Although it was embarrassing to be examined like this, Yang Cui was betting that the Lin family wouldn't agree to the examination. After all, they wanted to be both a prostitute and a virtuous woman, and once everyone knew that Yang Cui was still a virgin and had no children, the condition of not having children would no longer work.
The members of the Lin clan looked at each other, and finally the clan chief said, "Then let Lin Fangshi and Lin Qinshi go and check it out."
“That won’t do. They’re all your people. What if they don’t admit it? I think it would be better to invite the village chief’s mother and wife, as well as a few other people from other families, to come in and check.”
Upon hearing this, Chief Lin's face darkened, and he said sternly, "You don't trust us?"
“Yes! I don’t believe you!” Yang Cui replied with a smile, quite certain.
Chief Lin choked.
Seeing their expressions, which were as varied as if they'd eaten shit, Yang Cui was in a great mood.
In the original novel, Lin Shikang, a shameless and heartless man, was transformed by the author into a good man who would do anything for love!
In the original novel, Yang Cui drowned herself in the river, and Lin Shikang successfully married Wang Mengyun, the daughter of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and from then on rose rapidly in rank.
Now that she's taken over the original owner's body, this scumbag and ungrateful bastard won't divorce her so easily!!
She's not the silly Yang Cui from the original story!
Lin Niu, the daughter-in-law of the Lin clan chief, began to appeal to emotions: "Xiaocui, you and Shikang had a hundred days of kindness after just one night together, can't you all part amicably? You two..."
"If it's truly a peaceful parting, I'd be happy to do so! It just depends on whether you're willing to have a proper talk." After saying this, Yang Cui glanced at everyone, whose expressions were somewhat stunned.
"Talk? What's there to talk about with you? My son is now a third-place scholar in the imperial examination. Who do you think you are? Take the divorce papers and get out of here!" Madam Fan said fiercely.
She was used to being arrogant and haughty in front of Yang Cui, and now that her son has become successful, she considers herself superior and is even more arrogant.
"That means there's no room for negotiation!"
After saying that, Yang Cui immediately ran outside and shouted, "Everyone come quick! Lin Shikang has abandoned his wife and children! Lin Shikang has abandoned his wife and children!"
Yang Cui pinched herself, tears streaming down her face, and sobbed to the onlookers, "Fellow villagers, my Yang family has spared no effort in supporting Lin Shikang's education for so many years. My sister even bore three children for the Lin family, working like a slave for them until she died from overwork. And I, in the two years since I married into the Lin family, have also spared no effort in taking care of everyone in the family, and in the end, they want to divorce me! Waaah..."
"What?!" The villagers were shocked!
"No wonder Yang jumped into the river this morning! So that's why!"
"That's right! I never imagined Lin Shikang would be this kind of person. Without the Yang family, would he be where he is today? What an ungrateful wretch!"
"No wonder people say that most heartless men are scholars! Tsk tsk..."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhuoshi, the village chief's wife, said, "Your Lin family is utterly despicable! Yang Cui has been treated like a slave since she married into this family. Without her, without the Yang family, would Lin Tanhua be where he is today? Your Lin family is simply despicable! Who would dare to marry their daughter into your Lin family in the future?"
