Chapter 1 Back to the 1970s (revised)
Yuan Xiao woke up again, her head was swollen and painful, her body was in pain as if it was crushed, and she felt like she was sitting on the sea, dizzy and heavy.
Her ears were filled with strange noises, and she could vaguely hear a hoarse female voice sobbing.
"Xiao Xiao, you must get better. If something happens to you, what will mother do!"
Mother? Who is she?
Yuan Xiao felt the pain in her forehead getting more and more severe. She wanted to open her eyes to see, but her eyelids seemed to be glued shut.
There was another round of quarreling, and then a sharp and harsh voice was heard: "Cry! Why are you crying! I tell you, Wang Yazhi, if Yuan Xiao doesn't marry, you and your son will get out of the Yuan family!"
"We Yuan Man don't know what sin we have committed to marry a hen like you who doesn't lay eggs! You can't even give birth to a son, and you gave birth to a girl, but you are still unfilial!"
The curses gradually became smaller, and Yuan Xiao finally felt that his ears were quieter. His eyelids were like open windows, letting in a glimmer of light.
Yuan Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted to the light, and slowly opened his eyes.
What came into view was a strange place.
The woman next to him was still crying with her sleeves covered, and a trace of surprise flashed across Yuan Xiao's eyes.
Didn't she just get into a car accident? This place... doesn't look like a hospital!
"Xiaoxiao! Xiaoxiao, you're awake!"
The woman next to him grabbed her hand and shook it excitedly a few times.
Yuan Xiao wanted her to stop shaking, but his throat seemed to be blocked.
There were bursts of stinging pain from the wound on her forehead, and a strange memory flooded her like a tide.
Yuan Xiao opened her eyes again, as if in another world, and saw the surrounding environment in horror.
She slept on an earthen kang, wore coarse cloth, and even the walls were the kind that could rub mud off!
The woman next to him seemed to be frightened by Yuan Xiao, and she cried in a daze: "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you? Don't scare your mother!"
Yuan Xiao cleared his throat, and finally found his voice, and replied weakly: "I'm fine..."
If he let her shake any more, he would really go to find Prince Yan!
She is back, back to China in the 1970s!
Yuan Xiao was originally a girl born and raised in Dayang Village, Qushui County, but her life can be described as unfortunate.
Her family relationship is a bit complicated, her grandmother is not her biological grandmother, but a stepmother.
Her father Yuan Man is the eldest son, and he and her second uncle Yuan Cheng are both born to the grandmother who passed away earlier.
But the most bizarre thing is that Yuan Man is foolishly filial and obeys the words of this stepmother Liu Zhaodi!
Look, Liu Zhaodi's nephew on her mother's side is 39 years old and still a bachelor. He has nothing to do all day long but do some sneaky things.
Instigated by her younger brother on her mother's side, Liu Zhaodi was thinking about marrying Yuan Xiao to this nephew.
Yuan Man was confused and extremely patriarchal. He didn't value Yuan Xiao, his daughter, and wanted to sell Yuan Xiao and give the betrothal gift to Yuan Xiao's brother Yuan Jianhua to marry a wife.
Yuan Jianhua was Yuan Man's first son. Yuan Xiao's mother only gave birth to her after she got married. Because of this, she was often criticized!
Yuan Xiao was only 18 years old, and Liu Zhaodi's nephew was 39 years old. She naturally didn't want to, but Yuan Man accepted the betrothal gift of 50 yuan.
She was also stubborn. When she got angry, she jumped into the river and committed suicide!
According to the trajectory of the first life, she would have died by jumping into the river, and then traveled to the future and became an orphan.
In the future, Yuan Xiao's parents died when she was young, and she grew up with her grandfather.
She has been learning cooking from her grandfather since she was a child. After her grandfather passed away, she could make a living in a hotel with the cooking skills she learned.
But she brought it upon herself!
Seeing the start of the God of Cooking Competition, she signed up with the intention of having fun, but she got into a car accident on the way to the competition!
After the car accident, she didn't want to come back again!
Yuan Xiao felt like her head was about to split.
Whether it was the original Yuan Xiao or the Yuan Xiao who came back from the future, it was all her...
Yuan Xiao sighed heavily, and felt bad when she thought about what she was about to face now!
But the woman in front of her was the only one in the old Yuan family who truly loved her.
After her death in the last two lives, she probably couldn't survive.
When she was worrying about what to do next, Yuan Xiao's mother Wang Yazhi couldn't help crying, "Xiaoxiao, even if I sacrifice my life, I won't let you get married! You can't do such stupid things again!"
Yuan Xiao couldn't help looking up at her.
Wang Yazhi got married early, and now she is only 36 years old. Due to years of labor and the damage of ultraviolet rays, her skin is dark and rough. No one would doubt that she is 46 years old!
The clothes she wears are not only coarse cloth, but also have too many patches on her body to count.
So when she noticed Yuan Xiao's gaze, she looked embarrassed, but her eyes could not hide her concern.
Yuan Xiao's eyes were moist, and a warm current slowly seeped into his heart.
How long... how long has it been since she felt such care.
"Xiaoxiao, don't scare your mother. What's wrong with you?"
Wang Yazhi's rough palm touched Yuanxiao's forehead, her expression anxious. Could this child be stupid?
Yuanxiao felt the hand on her forehead, which was rough and irritating, but thick and warm.
Her mind was a little confused, and she slowly spoke: "Mother..."
Wang Yazhi laughed with tears in her eyes, half scolding and half scolding: "Hey, don't do such a stupid thing next time."
Yuanxiao grinned and laughed, "No, never again."
Her memory of her mother was already very vague, and in her last life, she was only accompanied by her grandfather.
Now that they are reunited, let her protect this mother.
Seeing her silly look, Wang Yazhi couldn't help but feel distressed again. She hugged Yuanxiao and coaxed her like a sweetheart.
"Mom, I won't get married. If they force me to get married, we will leave here!"
Wang Yazhi was helpless, touching Yuan Xiao's sparse and yellow hair.
In the whole Dayang Village, which girl is like her daughter? She has never had a full meal. She is 18 years old, but she is as thin as a 15-year-old bean sprout!
Thinking of this, Wang Yazhi couldn't help crying again, her eyes were full of tears but she was very determined, "Okay! Let's move out, mother can work! Mother will earn money to support Xiaoxiao!"
So her words were heard by Liu Zhaodi outside, and there was a bang, and the door was kicked open.
Liu Zhaodi held a fire stick in her hand, swearing all kinds of dirty words, and raised her hand to hit someone.
"Don't marry? You eat and drink from my Yuan family, what on your body is yours, and you dare not marry me?"
Wang Yazhi could hide, but Yuan Xiao was still on the bed and couldn't hide. She protected Yuan Xiao in front of him and was hit on the arm several times.
Wang Yazhi clenched her fists tightly, and the veins on her forehead were protruding. She didn't dodge, for fear of hurting Yuan Xiao.
Yuan Xiao got up from the bed in one go, and his eyes seemed to be icy.
She grabbed the pillow with her backhand to block a stick, and then quickly grabbed the other end of the fire.
"You're rebelling! You little bitch, do you still want to hit me?!"
Liu Zhaodi pulled hard, trying to get the fire stick back.
Yuan Xiao knew his own strength, and let go the moment she exerted force.
Liu Zhaodi couldn't stop the car due to inertia, and sat down on the ground with a thud. She was howling with her teeth bared, and her butt was about to break.
Yuan Xiao didn't even look at her, but grabbed Wang Yazhi and whispered, "Mom, shout for help, we'll go find the captain!"
