Li Yu came out of the gym and went straight to the parking lot. She drove towards the SWAT apartment in the direction of the suburban botanical garden.
When she reached a zebra crossing to get to the botanical garden, she saw a group of kindergarteners in front with innocent smiles on their faces. They were holding hands and queuing up to cross the zebra crossing towards the botanical garden.
Li Yu stopped the car and looked at this group of innocent and cute children with a smile. Suddenly, there was the sound of a violent emergency brake behind her, accompanied by the strange sound of tires rubbing against the ground.
Li Yu saw an SUV in the rearview mirror charging crazily at the child on the zebra crossing. Li Yu didn't have time to make a choice. She slammed the accelerator, turned the steering wheel to the left and slammed into the out-of-control SUV. After a violent bang, the SUV was slammed into the guardrail at the side of the road and stopped. Li Yu also hit the steering wheel with her forehead under the violent impact. Li Yu felt a buzzing sound in her head. Warm blood flowed from his forehead and his vision darkened into endless darkness.
When Li Yu woke up again, she found that she had been reborn into the body of a 14-year-old girl with the same name.
The original owner of the body, Li Yu, had lost both her parents. She also had a younger brother named Li Qing who was seven years old this year. The siblings originally lived in West Mountain Village in Clearwater Town, Green Mountain County. Their father, Li Shan, was a hunter. When Li Yu was eight years old, her mother died after childbirth.
When she was eleven years old, his father, his future father-in-law, Zhang Defa, and the village chief's son, Chen Yaohui, went hunting in the mountains together. In order to save Zhang Defa, Li Shan was scratched on the back by a bear claw. When he returned home, he was on the verge of death. Due to the fact that the Li and Zhang families were in-laws, Li Shan entrusted the siblings to Zhang Defa, hoping that he would help him take care of the two children on account of Li Shan having saving his life. Zhang Defa readily agreed and even swore that he would take good care of the two children.
Before Mr. Li died, he told the Host where he had hidden his things. He instructed her to take good care of her younger brother and hide the house deeds and land deeds.
After Mr. Li left, Zhang Defa brought the Li siblings to his house and took over the Li family.
Zhang Defa's wife, Chen Zhaodi, had been looking for Little Li Yu to ask for the Li family's farm deeds and house deeds. The little girl remembered what her father had said before he died. No matter how Chen Zhaodi coaxed, hit, and scolded her, she refused to say anything.
From then on, Chen Zhaodi abused the Host's siblings even more and scolded them.
In addition, his fiance m, Zhang Guisheng, had passed the county-level examination and was chosen by his teacher to marry his daughter to him. When Zhang Defa and his wife found out about this, they forced the Host to hand over the marriage contract so that Zhang Guisheng could marry The teacher's daughter.
The Host liked her fiancé, Zhang Guisheng, very much and would rather die than hand over the marriage contract. She was beaten up by Chen Zhaodi and her daughter, Zhang Guixiang, and starved for another day. When she poured Zhang Guixiang a bath at night, she was pushed into the bathtub by Zhang Guixiang and choked to death.
Li Yu thought of the pitiful little Li Yu and then thought of the vicious Zhang family. She complained, "Heavens, if I was given such a big prize like rebirth after death, why can't I be given the identity of a winner?"
It was not Li Yu's character to avoid and retreat. Li Yu thought to himself, Since the Zhang family wants to break off the engagement, it would be better for her to take this opportunity to retreat. She had hands, feet, and knowledge. She was not afraid of not having food to eat in the future!
After thinking about it, Li Yu thought to herself that since she had returned to the ancient times of ignorance and superstition, she would have to live well as Li Yu. Moreover she didn't want to be burned to death as a ghost.
Li Yu repeated the Host's memories several times in her heart. After confirming that she had not missed anything, she got up from the ground and walked past the bed of the girl called Zhang Guixiang. Seeing that she was still sleeping with a clear conscience, she could not help but grit her teeth in anger. She thought to herself, "How ruthless is she to be able to sleep with a clear conscience after killing someone?"
Li Yu touched her hungry stomach and went to the kitchen. In the pot were the rice and eggs that Chen Zhaodi had taken out to make breakfast last night, a small piece of cured meat, and two handfuls of vegetables.
Li Yu quickly prepared the food. She scooped it up and was about to eat when she suddenly remembered that he still had a younger brother. Li Yu put down the bowl and went to the hut beside the woodshed. When he reached the door, he remembered that Li Qing had already gone to cut wood at this hour.
Li Yu thought to herself that she should go and see what this brother of hers was like.
Li Yu turned around and returned to the kitchen. She scooped up the food and put it into a jar. She took two sets of cutlery and walked to the courtyard. Seeing that the Zhang family was still sleeping and waiting for Li Yu to wake them up for dinner, Li Yu pursed her lips and gently opened the courtyard door. She carried the food and walked towards the city gate.
After leaving the city and reaching the foot of the mountain, Li Yu saw a thin boy carrying a bundle of firewood that was much larger than his body. He was walking down the mountain. From afar, he looked like Li Qing. When he approached, Li Yu saw that it was indeed him.
Li Qing looked up and saw Li Yu standing in front of him. He asked with concern, "Sister, why are you here? Did Zhang Guixiang hit you again last night?"
Li Yu looked at the green-faced and delicate boy in front of him and thought to herself that in her previous life, those eight or nine-year-old children had to be picked up by their parents when they went to school! However, Li Qing woke up early in the morning and went up the mountain to cut so much firewood. He couldn't even straighten his body when the wood was pressed on his thin body, but he still cared about whether his sister was beaten up.
Li Yu sighed in her heart. Sigh! Poor child. Since she had accepted the Host's body, she should take on the responsibility of raising her younger brother. This child would be her younger brother in the future.
Li Yu put down the bamboo basket in her hand after making up her mind. She pointed at the jar and looked at Li Qing. "Ah Qing, I made some food and brought it here for us to eat together."
Li Qing put down the firewood on his back and asked worriedly, "Sister, are you alright? Where did this food come from?"
Li Yu felt a little sad when she saw Li Qing's worried gaze. She smiled and said, "It's fine. I've thought it through. If his family wants to break off the engagement, so be it! I'll bring you home. We have hands and feet, so why should we be afraid of not being able to survive? I cooked the rice and vegetables that Chen Zhaodi took out. We'll go home after eating."
"Sister, that's great. You've finally thought it through." Li Qing took Li Yu's hand and looked at her with a smile. "Sister, don't worry. I'll cut wood every day and bring it to town to sell for money to support you."
"Okay." Li Yu scooped the food into a bowl and handed it to Li Qing. "Let's eat first."
The siblings finished the large jar of food. Li Qing touched his stomach and said, "Sister, the cured meat smells so good! I haven't eaten so much in a long time. If only I could eat my fill every day in the future."
"As long as you work hard, you'll have a full meal." Li Yu looked up at the sky. "Ah Qing, Zhang Defa and the others have already gone to the shop at this hour. We'll sell the firewood later. I'll go back and get my luggage before coming out to look for you. Hide at the bend in the alley. If you see Chen Zhaodi and the others coming back, come and call me if I'm still not out."
Li Qing nodded. "I'll watch from the corner. Sis! You have to come out quickly!"
"Don't worry, I'll be out soon."
Li Yu threw the jars and bowls on the mountain and walked over to pick up the firewood. Unexpectedly, she lifted a large bundle of firewood. Li Yu was stunned for a moment. She put down the firewood and used one hand to lift the firewood gently.
Li Qing looked at Li Yu with a smile. "Sister, have you forgotten that you're as strong as Father? Just because Zhang Guisheng doesn't like you, are you despising your own strength?"
Li Yu looked at her hands and was pleasantly surprised. In this world, with her strength and her ability, would she be afraid of not having food to eat?
Li Yu carried the firewood to the city and followed Li Qing to the place where firewood was sold. A bundle of firewood weighing 80 to 90 catties was only sold for five copper coins.
Li Yu handed the money to Li Qing and instructed, "Ah Qing, take the money. Remember to wait for me at the corner. It's already this late. Zhang Defa and Chen Zhaodi must have gone to the provision store. Watch them from the corner."
Li nodded and stayed at the turning.
When Li Yu returned to the Zhang family's house, she saw that the courtyard door was ajar. She went forward and gently pushed open the courtyard door. When she saw that the door to the central room was already locked, she knew that Zhang Defa and his wife had already opened their shop.
Li Yu went to the hut and put all the old clothes into the backpack. She carried the backpack to the kitchen and picked up the kitchen knife and ax at the entrance of the stove. She put them into the backpack and covered them with the clothes. Thinking that she didn't even have a single cent on her, she carried the backpack to Zhang Guixiang's room.
Li Yu placed the backpack at the door and pushed it open to enter. She saw that Zhang Guixiang was still sleeping soundly. Thinking of the innocent owner of the body, she was so angry that she grabbed Zhang Guixiang's hair and dragged her out of bed.
Zhang Guixiang woke up from her sleep and screamed in fear, "Aiya! Who's grabbing my hair…"
Zhang Guixiang turned around and saw that it was Li Yu. She cursed, "Li Yu, you b*tch! How dare you pull my hair? I'll beat you to death."
Li Yu slapped her face twice, and Zhang Guixiang's face instantly swelled up.
Li Yu looked at her coldly. "I'll even hit you! Continue scolding me?"
Zhang Guixiang covered her face and looked fiercely at Li Yu's pretty face. She cursed, "B*tch, how dare you hit me? Just you wait, I'll cut your face into pieces and let my father sell you to the brothel to be a **** for the rest of your life."
Li Yu looked at Zhang Guixiang and thought to herself that not only did she sleep with a clear conscience after killing someone, but she was also so vicious. Since she caused the Host to lose her life, she should pay with her descendant! Li Yu bent her index finger and hit Zhang Guixiang's uterus.
"Mother… Ah… It hurts." Zhang Guixiang bent over and groaned as she held her stomach.
Li Yu dragged her to the ground, picked up her belt, and tied her to the chair. Then, she took out a pair of scissors from the sewing basket on the table and gestured at her face. She said sinisterly, "You still want to cut someone's face? Then I'll cut your face first. Tell me, where're your savings?"Zhang Guixiang looked up in pain and begged for mercy when she saw the scissors in Li Yu's hand. "Xiaoyu, I beg you. Don't cut it. The money is in the porcelain pillow."
Li Yu went over to pick up the porcelain pillow and reached into the hole to take out a pouch. She opened it and saw that there were indeed a few pieces of silver inside. Li Yu put the silver into her pocket and returned to Zhang Guixiang with the scissors.
Zhang Guixiang's face was swollen as she cried and begged, "Li Yu, I won't hit you or scold you anymore. I'll let my brother marry you…"
"Marry him?I don't care for it."
Li Yu took a pair of smelly socks and stuffed them into her mouth. Zhang Guixiang looked at Li Yu in horror. She couldn't understand why Li Yu had become so terrifying after just one night.
Li Yu looked at Zhang Guixiang coldly. "You heartless thing. You beat me to death in order to climb up the social ladder. I'm going to break off the engagement with your family today. Tell that ungrateful old thing in your family that I'm waiting for him in West Mountain Village to break off the engagement! Tell him not to play any tricks. If he angers me, my surname won't be Li if I don't make Zhang Guisheng a peddler."
Li Yu took the scissors, turned around, pushed open the door, picked up her backpack, and walked to the courtyard door. She opened the courtyard door and walked towards the alley.
Li Qing was waiting anxiously and kept looking around. When he saw Li Yu, he welcomed her happily. "Sister, you're here!"
"Yes! Let's go! Take a mule cart back to Clearwater Town at the city gate." Li Yu looked at Li Qing and said briskly.
Li Qing went over and held Li Yu's hand. The siblings quickly walked to the city gate. "The people from Clearwater Town are leaving! The people from Clearwater Town are leaving!" The coachman shouted to attract business.
"Ah Qing, hurry up. There's a mule cart going to Clearwater Town." Li Yu pulled Li Qing forward and asked the coachman, "Uncle, how much does it cost to go to Clearwater Town?"
"Five copper coins each. Are you leaving? We'll be leaving soon." The middle-aged driver looked at the siblings eagerly and asked.
"Let's go." Li Yu and his sister got into the mule cart. The driver raised his whip and started running. Li Qing grabbed Li Yu's collar tightly and smiled happily at him. "Sister, we're going home."
"Yes! We're going home." Li Yu said to Li Qing and thought to herself that she'll be the ancient Li Yu from now on.
Zhang Defa thought about how he didn't see Li Yu and her brother when he woke up this morning. He thought to himself, 'I'm not afraid of the older one, but I'm afraid of the younger one. The younger one is like his mother and is very scheming. If I keep him any longer, I'm afraid something bad will happen.'
Zhang Defa called Chen Zhaodi, who was busy greeting customers, to the small hut at the back and instructed her, "Go find Granny Wang and give Li Yu and her brother to the potter. Let her sell them separately and sell them far away in the mountains so that they can never find their way back."
Chen Zhaodi rolled her eyes at Zhang Defa and said angrily, "Why should I give them to her for free? It's still silver even if I sell it for three to five taels."
"It's all up to you. Hurry up and go back. Nothing good will happen if my eyelids keep twitching," Zhang Defa urged Chen Zhaodi.
Chen Zhaodi recalled that she hadn't seen Li Yu since she woke up this morning and felt a little flustered. She hurriedly walked towards the nunnery and called Madam Wang to rush home.
Granny Wang was panting as she walked. She stopped and called out to Chen Zhaodi, "Lady Boss, are those siblings really your servants? I seem to have heard someone say that one of them is your future daughter-in-law? Lady Boss, you have to know that if you're caught buying and selling good people, you'll be sentenced to be exiled!"
Chen Zhaodi said to Madam Wang, "That's slandering my family. Why would my son marry such a person?" When Chen Zhaodi saw that Madam Wang stopped in her tracks, she panicked. "Aiya! Can I give them to you for free? You just have to help me sell them far away into the mountains. Who would come looking for you?"
Madam Wang hesitated for a moment before following Chen Zhaodi home.
As soon as Chen Zhaodi arrived at the house, she saw that the courtyard door was wide open. She walked in quickly and saw that even Zhang Guixiang's room door was open. She hurriedly ran into the house and saw that Zhang Guixiang's hair was tied to the chair in a mess. Her face was swollen like a pig's head and there were a few scratches on her face.
Chen Zhaodi was shocked and shouted with heartache, "God, what happened? What happened? Where's that b*tch Li Yu?"
Zhang Guixiang looked at Chen Zhaodi and whimpered as she shook her head. Tears of grievance and sadness flowed down her face uncontrollably.
"Good girl, you've suffered." Chen Zhaodi's heart ached when she saw Zhang Guixiang's terrible appearance. She quickly took the sock out of her mouth.
"Mother, wa wa…" Zhang Guixiang looked at Chen Zhaodi and cried loudly.
Chen Zhaodi quickly hugged her and comforted her. After a while, Zhang Guixiang cried to Chen Zhaodi, "Mother, that b*tch Li Yu. She hit me. She said that our family is heartless and that Father is ungrateful. She even said that she doesn't want to be our daughter-in-law. She wants to end the engagement and ask Father to go to West Mountain Village to look for her. She even said that if you dare to play any tricks and anger her, she will let me be a peddler for the rest of my life."Granny Wang pricked up her ears and thought to herself, That girl is indeed the fiancée of the Zhang family. You're about to break the engagement and even asked me to sell her. There must be something wrong. The Zhang family is really something.
Granny Wang spat secretly and turned to leave.
Chen Zhaodi looked at her daughter's pig-like face and was so angry that her heart ached. She muttered to herself, "B*tch, how dare she? How dare she do this?"
She suddenly remembered that Granny Wang was still in the courtyard. She quickly walked to the door and stuck his head out to take a look, only to realize that Granny Wang was already gone.
"Mother, what are you waiting for! Hurry up and untie me. I want to change my pants. My pants are wet. Boohoo." Zhang Guixiang cursed as she cried. "Li Yu, you *****. When I caught you, watch how I deal with you."
Chen Zhaodi chased after her, but after running out for a few steps, she didn't see Granny Wang. She couldn't care less and decided to give up.
Chen Zhaodi turned around and ran back into the house. She looked at Zhang Guixiang with heartache and helped her unbuckle her pants. She comforted her gently, "I was so angry that I forgot that you were still tied up! My dear daughter, don't be afraid."
After Zhang Guixiang came out of the shower, Chen Zhaodi said to her, "Good girl, wait at home for me to go to the shop to find your father."
Zhang Guixiang held her belly and felt that it kept hurting. She nodded gloomily and shouted at Chen Zhaodi, "Mother, my belly hurts a little."
"I'll get you a doctor." Chen Zhaodi turned to leave.
Zhang Guixiang screamed, "No, my face is swollen like this and I don't want to see anyone. Go and capture that ***** and sell her to the brothel first."
Seeing that she was shouting so loudly, Chen Zhaodi quickly went over to cover Zhang Guixiang's mouth and coaxed her softly, "Good girl, lower your voice. If others hear this, you won't be able to get married, understand?"
Zhang Guixiang covered her ears and screamed willfully, "I want to say it loudly! Sell her to a brothel. Ah… How can I go out and meet people in this state?"
Zhang Guixiang threw herself into Chen Zhaodi's arms and cried loudly.
Chen Zhaodi felt like her heart was about to break when she looked at her daughter. She turned around and closed the door. She patted her daughter's vest and said, "Stop crying. I'll go look for your father and get him to capture that ***** to exact vengeance."
Zhang Guixiang looked up at Chen Zhaodi and said, "Yes! Let's disfigure her face first before selling her to the brothel."
"Alright, I'll call your father back and ask him to help you catch them." Chen Zhaodi gently comforted Zhang Guixiang before walking towards the shop.
When Chen Zhaodi arrived at the entrance of the shop, Zhang Defa saw the hatred on Chen Zhaodi's face. His heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that, as expected, something must have happened.
Zhang Defa went up to her and asked softly, "Is it done?"
Chen Zhaodi's eyes were red. She glanced at Zhang Defa and said timidly, "Something happened. Let's go home first."
"Wait a moment. I'll go talk to the staff." Zhang Defa glanced at Chen Zhaodi and thought to himself, What a useless woman.
The couple quickly returned home. As soon as they entered the courtyard, Chen Zhaodi went straight to Zhang Guixiang's house. Zhang Defa followed her into the house and saw Zhang Guixiang standing there in a daze.
Zhang Guixiang looked at Zhang Defa and cried aggrievedly. "Father, it was all that ***** Li Yu's doing. Father, how can I go out and meet people?"
"Tell me, what did you do? How dare Li Yu treat you like this?" Zhang Defa looked at Zhang Guixiang and said angrily.
When Zhang Guixiang saw that Zhang Defa was angry, she shrank her neck and argued, "Father, I didn't do anything! Just last night, when she poured me my bath water, she made me angry, so I pushed her into the bathtub. But after I was angry, I dragged her up!"
"Then why did you become like this?" Zhang De's face darkened as he asked in a deep voice.
Zhang Guixiang trembled in fear and pulled Chen Zhaodi's hand. She sobbed and said, "I, I was still sleeping when Li Yu dragged me out of bed and hit me… She said that she was waiting for you in the West Mountain. She even said that she wanted to break off the engagement with us. She even said… that you guys better not play any tricks. Otherwise, she'll make me a peddler for the rest of my life."
Zhang Defa didn't believe it when he heard that. It wasn't something that Li Yu could do. He looked at Zhang Guixiang with a livid expression. "You must have hit her again. She only fought back because she was anxious. No, I have to go back to the village to take a look. If someone finds out and it affects your future, you'll be in big trouble."
Zhang Guixiang looked up at Zhang Defa. "Father, believe me. That b*tch Li Yu is so fierce! She said that she wants to end the engagement. I think she's telling the truth. Hurry up and go back and catch her."
"It's none of your business." Zhang Defa felt that Guixiang must have hit Li Yu hard. Li Yu had said it in a fit of anger. It would be strange if that girl was willing to break off the engagement since she liked Guisheng so much. Forget it! He should go back and take a look first.
Zhang Defa said to Chen Zhaodi, "I'll go back to the village to take a look first. I'll also go to the mountains to buy some fur from the hunters before settling the debt."
Chen Zhaodi nodded. "Got it. Be careful on the way."
Zhang Defa returned to the house to pick up the money. After thinking about it, he packed the marriage contract and silver. He returned to the shop and instructed the shop assistant before driving the ox cart towards West Mountain Village.
