"You little whore from the Xu family, get out here right now!"
"You shameless bastard, you seduced my man and got him to lend you money. It's been half a year, do you really think this money is your prostitute payment?"
"Don't you even look at yourself? You look like you'll die young and bring misfortune to your husbands. Bah!"
"If you don't get out here, don't blame me for being impolite!"
The door was being pounded on loudly, and the person outside was clearly furious, speaking in an extremely arrogant tone.
Chen Yunyun turned over impatiently. Wasn't the hospital against making noise?
What's all this noise so early in the morning? Don't you have any manners?
She reached up to touch her chest, trying to grab the blanket, but what she touched was cold and hard.
She suddenly opened her eyes and realized that her surroundings were completely unfamiliar!
I wasn't in the hospital; it felt more like I was in a farmhouse.
The room was dimly lit, and only the light filtering through the cracks in the mud walls revealed its dilapidated state.
Wait a minute—a mud wall?!
Wasn't she hospitalized with angina after staying up all night? There were so many doctors around her last night, how did she end up here after waking up?
Chen Yunyun lowered her head and looked at herself, at her thin limbs and withered hands.
Her breath hitched. Could it be that the damn transmigration/rebirth trope had hit her on the head?
She pressed her temples, trying to process the memories in her mind that didn't belong to her.
Chen Yunyun rolled out of bed, only to find a dark, murky thing crouching in the corner of the room.
"Mother, don't hit my brother. I will teach him to be a good boy."
Seeing Chen Yunyun approach, Niu Niu thought her stepmother was going to hit her again, so she quickly begged for mercy.
The younger brother had only cried twice because he was hungry while his stepmother was taking a nap, and his stepmother slapped him twice, causing his nose to bleed.
Niu Niu covered her younger brother's mouth with her hand to stop him from crying out, while she herself sobbed and begged her stepmother.
Chen Yunyun paused, and relevant memories flooded her mind.
Hiss—how could my original self be so vicious?
The original owner was twenty years old this year. Her family couldn't make ends meet, so her biological mother married her off to this small mountain village, where she became the stepmother of three children.
The original owner was instigated by others and treated the children very badly, scolding them or beating them.
What kind of things are these?
After blaming the original owner, Chen Yunyun wanted to pat the girl's head and say a few words of comfort.
But seeing the little girl cowering, he stopped.
There was a lot of noise outside, so we were about to break down the door.
Chen Yunyun had no choice but to tell the little girl, "Don't cover your brother's mouth anymore, put him on the bed to rest for a while."
"You two don't need to come out later."
The girl was stunned. Was she hallucinating?
The stepmother was always selfish and never allowed the siblings to sleep together.
As the weather grew colder, the group could only huddle together in the cold woodshed for warmth.
But, just now my stepmother said to put my younger brother on the bed?
This must be a new trick her stepmother came up with to torment her! She absolutely mustn't fall for it while her brother's away!
Niu Niu hugged her younger brother tightly, shrinking herself even smaller, quiet and no longer moving.
As soon as Chen Yunyun stepped out of the main room and under the eaves, the dilapidated door was smashed.
The group marched aggressively into the house.
Leading the charge was a dark-skinned woman with a fierce-looking face.
Two men followed behind her, each carrying a long wooden stick.
Chen Yunyun searched her memory and realized that the person was Aunt Wang from the village.
In mid-May, the original owner borrowed money from her man, which she has not yet repaid.
After the original owner's mother-in-law passed away, the original owner took charge of the household and raised three children by herself.
Before, her husband would send her five yuan every month, and although life wasn't rich, it was enough to make ends meet.
But for some reason, her husband in the army hadn't sent money home for several months. The original owner asked someone to write a letter to inquire, but there was no reply.
The original owner was lazy and loved to eat, and after being instigated by her best friend, she borrowed money from door to door in her husband's name.
She spent all the money she got in just a few days, so she had no choice but to shamelessly continue borrowing.
In the end, no one was willing to lend her any more, and the original owner starved to death in her bed...
After reviewing the whole story, Chen Yunyun looked at the mess in front of her and felt extremely troubled.
Creditors came to her door, but she had no money.
Aunt Wang stopped in front of Chen Yunyun. "You little whore, I've finally caught you."
"Either pay back the money or get beaten up. Choose one."
Chen Yunyun pressed further, "So you don't have to pay back the money just because you were beaten?"
Aunt Wang's lips twitched. This ungrateful woman was dreaming. She sneered, "That depends on whether you can stand it."
Chen Yunyun closed her eyes, looking like a dead fish, and said, "Then hit me."
"If you can't pay it back, take the child—what?" Aunt Wang's eyes widened, and she looked at Chen Yunyun as if she were a lunatic.
Has Zhijun's wife taken the wrong medicine?
Aunt Wang and her younger brother behind her looked at each other, completely baffled by Chen Yunyun's actions.
After a moment of stunned silence, Aunt Wang snapped back to reality and unleashed a sharp palm strike at Chen Yunyun. "You little slut, what tricks are you playing on me?"
"I'll beat you to death today!"
Aunt Wang, who worked in the fields year-round, was very strong. She kicked and pulled at Chen Yunyun, cursing all the while.
Her two younger brothers broke down the door of the main room, and soon, the sound of a child crying in fright and fear came from inside, sounding extremely shrill.
Chen Yunyun originally thought that she should just accept her fate and take a beating for the original owner of the body, since she owed a debt and had to pay it back.
But the other party actually bullied the child right in front of her?
Fighting is one thing, but what kind of skill is it to mess with cubs? She can't stand it!
Chen Yunyun picked up a shard of a jar from the ground.
