Chapter 1: Crossing



"Xiao Yu's mother, Xiao Yu's mother, your daughter has jumped into the river!"

What?

Oh my God!

Song dropped the sickle in her hand and ran away.

On the way, he met Zhao Dashu, crying and shouting, "Hurry, dad, my daughter has jumped into the river!"

Oh my god!

Uncle Zhao ran towards the river...

The riverside was surrounded by villagers. Zhao Xiaoyu was lying on the ground, his face pale with dark blue.

Looking at the couple running over, someone shook his head at him and said, "You're too late, the breath is gone, go back and prepare for the funeral!"

Song's heart ached, and she knelt beside Zhao Xiaoyu, crying, "My daughter, my daughter! Why are you so depressed? How can I live if you leave? My Xiaoyu!"

Zhao Dashu looked at his daughter-in-law who was crying bitterly, and then at his daughter who was lying on the ground with a deathly pale face. He was also overwhelmed with grief, and his eyes were red.

"Xiaoyu!" How could this damn girl jump into the river? Why are you so stubborn?

“Cough cough cough…”

Zhao Xiaoyu only felt that her chest was aching like it was on fire, her stomach was bloated and uncomfortable, and her throat was also sore from drinking too much water.

The people around immediately dispersed. What the hell, is the granddaughter of Old Zhao's family resurrecting from the dead? How much of an injustice would this be, that one cannot even rest in peace even after death? It's so fucking scary!

"My daughter, my daughter, you are back. Open your eyes and look at your mother, my daughter!"

What are you looking at? She's alive, didn't you notice? Stop shaking, auntie, she felt dizzy and wanted to vomit.

After a violent coughing fit, Zhao Xiaoyu closed her eyes and lay down for a while. Her dizzy head received a large wave of memories. Oh shit, had she traveled through time? Traveled to a dynasty that did not exist in history, the Great Xia Dynasty. Isn't she fighting monsters? Was she beaten to death by the Zombie King? That's right, how can she, an ordinary person, defeat the big devil?

It's well-dressed, it's beautifully dressed, it's terrifically dressed!

This era is peaceful and prosperous, which is much better than the apocalypse when zombies were rampant before her. After experiencing the apocalypse, all the difficulties faced by the original world are really nothing. It’s not a big deal, is it necessary to jump into the river? He is still too inexperienced and too fragile. If he kills a few zombies, he will surely learn his lesson and realize the preciousness of life.

I took a deep breath of the air in this world. It was so damn fresh, and the smell of grass was so damn nice. If there weren't so many people watching, she would have wanted to grab a handful to taste it.

"Girl?"

There was one person kneeling and one squatting beside her. One was her original mother, a poor and honest woman, and the other was her original father, a sneaky and cunning fool. In recent years, because I don’t have a son, I have gradually started to do this.

"mother!"

"Oh my little Yu, you scared me to death!"

Song hugged Zhao Xiaoyu and cried uncontrollably, and some sentimental village women beside her also wiped their eyes. Listen, it seems like he was forced to jump into the river. What big of a deal could it be that would make him sacrifice his child's life? What’s going on in the Zhao family? Why did they force their own granddaughter to jump into the river? Isn’t Mr. Zhao quite sensible?

"Mom, I don't want to be sold as a concubine. I don't want to be sold to an old man as a concubine!"

Song hugged Zhao Xiaoyu and just cried. Her father-in-law’s decision could not be changed just because she disagreed.

The villagers were shocked. What? The Zhao family wants to sell their granddaughter to someone as a concubine. The Zhao family is a well-known wealthy family in the village. They have 25 acres of farmland alone, and they are also supporting the eldest son Zhao to go to school. Why do they need to sell someone? I was wondering why the little girl wanted to jump into the river. So it was because of this?

No, the people of Laolizhu Village have always been simple and honest. Except in years of disaster, there has never been a case of selling people. If this matter gets out, the reputation of their Laolizhu Village will be ruined. Which girl from any village will dare to marry into the village in the future? And Zhao Xiaoyu is only 11 years old and not yet of marriageable age. How can she get married? No, how can I be someone's concubine?

Zhao Dashu's eyes were red. "Don't worry, girl. Even if your grandfather kicks me out of the house, I won't let you serve an old man."

Zhao Xiaoyu gave a thumbs up in her heart: Oh yeah, my cheap dad is awesome!

The whole audience was shocked. Zhao Dashu admitted it himself. Is this true? Old man Zhao is not a human being! How could he sell out his granddaughter? You are so old, so old, and you don’t even want to save your reputation anymore?

"Mom will carry you home."

The destination was achieved, Zhao Xiaoyu lay weakly on the ground, looking as if she could not walk. She was already a grown-up girl, so naturally she could not let her father carry her anymore, so she had to be carried by Song.

"mother!"

Zhao Xiaoyu lay on Song's back, feeling a warm current in her heart. This is my mother. A long time ago, she was an orphan who was abandoned at the gate of an orphanage when she was born. The orphanage is full of children. The director is extremely busy and not a likable person. She doesn't stand out among the crowd. From childhood to adulthood, she has never felt the feeling of being cared for, nor has she experienced what it is like to have parents.

The villagers followed the Song family as they walked. When they arrived at the Zhao family's door, they peeked in to watch what was going on. When the Zhao family heard the news that Zhao Xiaoyu had jumped into the river, they all held a meeting in the main hall.

Old man Zhao sat in the back seat, puffing on his pipe. He didn't expect Xiaoyu to be so stubborn. On one hand, he asked her to get ready to go to Mr. Wang's house tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and on the other hand, he would tell her to jump into the river. Now he could only pray that no one knew about it, otherwise, the face of their Zhao family...

The eldest brother Zhao was very unhappy. The third brother's daughter was trying to make him unhappy. "Dad, the third brother's daughter made such a fuss. The matter has become a big deal. If she doesn't want to, she can just say, what's the point of jumping into the river? Don't you know that the most important thing for us scholars is family tradition and face? I will take the imperial examination in a few months. Who is she trying to offend by causing trouble at this critical moment?"

Old man Zhao didn't say anything, and the old woman beside him said, "That's right, it must have been her mother who instigated it. The two girls are the same, both are black-hearted."

The worst case scenario is that she drowned directly and no one would know about it. They would just say that she was playing around and fell in accidentally.

Granddaughters are all money-losing goods, she doesn't care about them. The most important thing is that they don't affect the future of her eldest son.
