Chapter 2 Everyone Dislikes
Wan Qiqi turned her face away, pointed to the doorway, and said in a hoarse voice, "Go and close the door!"
The more glorious the past was, the more shameful it feels now.
"Damn it, have some decency!" She didn't hear a single kind word from anyone.
While it's a bit shady to refuse to annul the engagement after marrying the wrong man, at least both families treated her well and tolerated her unreasonable behavior. It's just a pity the original owner of this body lacked common sense; she not only ruined her reputation but also brought about her own downfall!
As the door closed, the chatter outside gradually faded away, leaving only the child's sobs.
Wan Qiqi sized up Chen Yongnian.
He was tall and thin, with a healthy wheat-colored complexion, and wore a patched coarse cloth shirt, exuding a rustic charm from the countryside.
He doesn't seem very smart, and despite being tall, he gives off an impression of being easy to bully.
However, it was thanks to Chen Yongnian's timely arrival that the original owner was able to find her body after falling into the river.
Wan Qiqi looked at the two children beside her, who seemed a little timid, wanting to get closer to her but not daring to.
The two children huddled together, so thin they were practically skin and bones, with no flesh on their bodies and dirty faces, looking like beggars from the slums.
However... the current situation at home doesn't seem much better than that of a beggar; the only difference is that they have a place to live.
Even though Wan Qiqi was born in the countryside, she had never seen such a dilapidated house.
Not to mention the uneven ground, the mud walls had several cracks, and the thatched roof overhead let in light.
If it rains, I can really watch the rain from my bed!
Before Wan Qiqi could even examine and think about it carefully, her stomach started to protest with a "gurgle!"
Damn it, putting aside the original owner of this body, even she wanted to protest. She couldn't even get enough to eat, how could she work?
Although she often goes hungry because of her sales job, she has never been so eager to eat as she is now, as if she hasn't eaten for several days.
Wan Qiqi touched her empty stomach, looking somewhat dejected.
Seeing Wan Qiqi's expression, Pingping said weakly, "Ah... Mother, I'll go find Grandma to cook for you!" After saying that, she pulled An'an and ran outside.
He couldn't tell how his mother was feeling, but he knew that when she was hungry, she would get angry and even whip his legs with a small bamboo stick. He couldn't stay here and get beaten, nor could he let his sister stay here.
Wan Qiqi wasn't sure if she was seeing things, but she felt that the way the two little ones looked at her was a bit like Little Red Riding Hood meeting the Big Bad Wolf, as if they were afraid she would eat them.
She sat up in bed with a sigh, looked at Chen Yongnian who was still standing in front of her, and waved her hand, "You go ahead and get busy!"
Chen Yongnian looked somewhat worried, but he still listened to Wan Qiqi and left.
Only Wan Qiqi was left in the room. She finally let out a long sigh of relief, but accidentally choked and coughed violently for a while.
Once her mind was completely clear, she began to sort out her memories of this family.
Besides Chen Yongnian, the family also included Chen Yongliang's two younger brothers, Chen Yongxing and Chen Yongliang, their mother, Wang, and the second brother's wife, Li Chongniang.
The original owner never did housework; it was all done by her mother-in-law, Wang, and her sister-in-law, Li Chongniang. However, more than three months ago, it was discovered that Li Chongniang was two months pregnant, so all the housework was taken care of by Wang.
The three brothers went out to earn money, working from sunrise to sunset.
Unfortunately, all the money they earned at home was taken away by the original owner, who also took all the good things in the house for himself, leaving them to live a miserable life.
Wan Qiqi sighed in exasperation. The original owner of this body had really dug a huge pit! Not only had she taken away the money and food, but she had also squandered it all!
The house is now truly destitute.
She felt helpless and had no choice but to accept the current situation.
Just then, a voice came from the courtyard.
"How come she didn't drown? What's she doing back here!"
"Woman, what are you saying! She's still our sister-in-law, no matter how bad she is, it's not our place to talk about her."
"Chen Yongxing, I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to marry you! Look at you, so lazy and good-for-nothing, and look at this family... Oh, why is my life so miserable!"
Wan Qiqi followed the sound and saw a man and a woman standing in the courtyard. They were Chen Yongxing, the second son, and his wife, Li Chongniang.
As the two were talking, they caught a glimpse of the person standing at the door of the elder brother's room, and their expressions suddenly changed.
Chen Yongxing blushed at this moment.
Why did my sister-in-law get up?
How much did she hear?
Chen Yongxing felt uneasy, but instinctively he shielded Li Chongniang behind him.
Judging from Chen Yongxing's posture, Wan Qiqi felt as if he was about to hit her, but... the original owner of this body seemed to have done such a thing.
She glanced at the two of them and saw that their legs were trembling.
