It was only about 6.00 PM, but the sky was terrifyingly dark.
As soon as Ye Muyu came out of the company, the rain poured down.
It was only then that she remembered that her car had been sent to the mechanic for repair. Although she had become a senior executive of the company, she still did not accept the chauffeur arranged by her parents.
She also lived in a separate four-bedroom apartment outside.
She liked to be quiet. She was usually at the company and often went on business trips. She was used to being independent.
It’s rare to get off work early, but the heavy rain left me with a few units.
Ye Muyu wiped the rain off her forehead and called a taxi. Seeing that it was still early, she opened her umbrella and planned to go to the supermarket to buy some vegetables and fruits.
Not long after she walked out, Ye Muyu was hit by a pedestrian in a hurry. Her umbrella was sent flying and fell on the lane.
She quickly looked up and saw a little girl blocked by the umbrella she had dropped, so she could not see the speeding car.
She was anxious and ran over to pick up the little girl. The moment she threw the little girl away, she felt her body become light and her entire body was sent flying. Her eyes were red.
She saw herself lying on the ground covered in blood, and then her consciousness slowly dissipated. At the last moment, she suddenly realized that she seemed to be dead…
The sky was a little dark, and the rain outside was very heavy, as if it was going to destroy the house.
Ye Muyu had woken up for a while. She was a calm person. Even though the situation was strange, she analyzed the situation calmly. There was an obvious smell of damp straw in the room. The bed under her was hard and the quilt was not soft at all. It was damp. She touched it for a while and found it rough. It was like the material used by poor people in China in the 70s, or it was a low-quality clothing bought online for a few yuan per piece.
The room was very low, with only a small window on the right side of the bed near the door. The window was not made of glass. It could have been made of cloth or paper, so it did not let in any light. It was already night, and it was raining, making the room even darker.
However, the entire house was tidied up very neatly.
What made her feel uncomfortable was that there was someone lying beside her.
Based on her feeling, it should be a man.
Ye Muyu didn’t dare to close her eyes. She was thinking if she should find an excuse.
Just as she was thinking, a large amount of memories suddenly surged into her mind.
Fifteen minutes later…
Ye Muyu opened her eyes. She could not stop the shock in her eyes. She…transmigrated?
The original owner of this body was a married woman. Her surname was Ye and her name was Yunlan. She was married to Chu Heng, the third son of the Chu family in Xingshui Village, Nanchang County.
Chu Heng knew how to study. Ever since she married into the family, she did not need to eat the least and work the most at home like before. She also did not need to be scolded everywhere.
The Chu family had split up, so Chu Heng spent most of his time studying in the county school, while she stayed at home to take care of the children. She only needed to grow her own vegetables, especially since she gave birth and her health deteriorated.
The original body had two children. The eldest daughter was called Chu Ziluo. She was eight years old this year and was already sensible. However, the original host let her do all the housework, but the little girl was still very obedient. After Chu Heng came back, she never complained.
She also had a five-year-old son called Chu Jin. He was spoiled by the original owner, he was especially generous and loved money.
Ye Muyu frowned. She felt that this was a strange feeling, and she felt even more stressful.
She had suddenly become the mother of two children. She could not treat them as she pleased. At the very least, she had to be responsible for their lives and raise them well.
Ye Muyu quieted down after knowing the original body’s memory. She tilted her head and glanced at the man beside her. It should be the husband called Chu Heng in the original body’s memory.
The original owner was 22 years old, younger than her previous life. The man beside her was about 24 years old and had already passed the scholar examination, preparing for the provincial examination in August this year.
Ye Muyu knew that the ancient imperial examinations were very difficult and expensive. However, she was relieved that Chu Heng would only be back for three days.
Today was already the second day, and he would be leaving tomorrow afternoon. It was also a chance for her to slowly adapt.
Although Ye Muyu was calm, she was not used to being married to a stranger.
It was just nice that Chu Heng was going to study. It would give her time to slowly familiarize herself with life here and accept the fact that she was already married and had a child. It would not be difficult.
Ye Muyu fell asleep again as he pondered over the rain.
15 minutes later…
In the courtyard, Chu Ziluo, who was dressed in a coarse, dark purple dress, was squatting beside a water tank. In front of her was a wooden basin for washing her face. Because it had rained, she had not been able to cover the water tank last night. There were many leaves, mud, and cobwebs on the eaves inside.
As she removed the dregs from the water, she looked at the door of the main house hesitantly.
‘When will Mother come out? If she doesn’t come out soon, Father will be angry if there’s no breakfast…’
‘What if he found out that Mother doesn’t usually work?’
Just as the little girl was in a dilemma, the door to the main room was suddenly opened. Chu Heng was dressed in a dark gray robe. His expression was calm, and on his well-defined handsome face was a pair of sharp eyes that made people not dare to look him in the eye.
“Father… Father?” Chu Ziluo’s voice was stuttering as she stood up abruptly. Her hands and feet were tied, and she blurted out anxiously, “Father, Mother will be up soon. She cooks, does the laundry, and takes care of us!”
“Is that so?” Chu Heng was expressionless and his voice was not harsh, but it carried the aura of a superior.
Chu Ziluo could not take it anymore. Her body shook even more violently and she almost cried.
Chu Heng frowned and restrained his authority, saying, “You don’t have to speak up for your mother.”
It was no longer raining, but there was still water in the yard.
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked to the kitchen and walked down from the eaves. His shoes were soaked in the rain.
He did not care at all.
He stopped in front of Chu Ziluo and looked at her feet. “Since your shoes are broken, you can change them.”
When Chu Ziluo heard that, she looked down and saw her dirty shoes that were a little worn out. She quickly retracted her feet and looked a little terrified. “Father, I understand. I’ll change it immediately…”
Chu Heng looked at his daughter’s pitiful appearance. She had been bullied but did not dare to complain. Her courage had been affected by the Madam Ye. He was angry that she did not fight for it. He also pondered whether he should let the child be raised by his mother. At least, he could not let her be raised by her.
He recalled the events of his previous life. Madam Ye courted death and caused him to fail the imperial examination. In order to stand out, he had no choice but to enter the military camp to gain military merit.
In the end, he managed to make a comeback and became a high official.
Who knew that when he brought Madam Ye to Jing City, she kept making mistakes and gave him a lot of trouble. For the sake of money, she even dared to take money from others. There were even rumors of her bullying the shop owners.
She was so stupid that she were used by others and implicated the entire family.
In the end, under the persuasion of his parents, he sent her back to his hometown, and he also raised her for the rest of her life.
Unexpectedly, when he opened her eyes, he was back to the year of the provincial examination.
Chu Heng was in a bad mood. In his previous life, he was tortured by this wife until he went crazy. He lived a solid life. Who knew that she would come back…
“Where’s the cloth I bought?” Chu Heng already had some doubts in his heart, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a mocking smile.
“Granny… Granny took it away.” Chu Ziluo looked at him carefully.
Chu Heng’s expression turned even colder, but he did not lose his temper at his own child.
“Go and change your shoes first. Tell Lil’ Jin and your mother to get up.” After Chu Heng finished speaking, he turned around and entered the kitchen. After a while, smoke came out of the kitchen chimney. Chu Ziluo’s eyes were filled with shock. ‘Father…Father actually went to cook!’
‘It was over!’
Her father would definitely think that her mother did not do housework and she did not help her hide it. Once her father left, her mother would definitely be angry and not give her enough food to eat. Her mother would only buy meat for her brother and not her…
Chu Ziluo lowered her head and looked at the small needle wounds on her palm. These were the injuries she got after making clothes for herself. Her hands had become slightly rough after working for a long time, and the pain of not being able to eat the delicious food made her regret it. If she had known, she would have gone to call her mother earlier.
Worried, Chu Ziluo had no choice but to turn around and walk into the room next door. She pushed the door open and went in.
She saw Chu Jin sleeping with his arms spread out. He was dreaming of something, and he was drooling. He looked as if he had no heart.
“Brother, wake up. Father asked me to wake you up.” Chu Ziluo carefully nudged Chu Jin.
Chu Jin was sleeping soundly on the bed and did not react at all.
Chu Ziluo could only muster her courage and push him again. “Little brother, get up quickly. If you don’t get up soon, Father will be angry.”
After pushing her a few times, Chu Jin was annoyed. He sat up impatiently and glared at her. “Chu Ziluo, what are you doing? Can’t you let me sleep well?”
Chu Ziluo’s thin body was not intimidating at all in front of the slightly plump Chu Jin. She was trembling non-stop and was extremely timid.
“Father told me to call you…”
Father? Father is awake?” Chu Jin was shocked. He did not dare to shout at Chu Ziluo anymore and hurriedly put on his clothes.
Seeing that he was afraid, Chu Ziluo heaved a sigh of relief and left the house.
Standing in the courtyard, he clenched his fists and mustered up his courage before heading to the main house.
He pushed open the door.
Chu Ziluo saw the woman sleeping on the bed and carefully walked over, gently tugging at her blanket. “Mother, it’s time to get up…”
“Mother, Father asked me to wake you up. Father has already entered the kitchen…” The more she spoke, the softer she became. Her voice was trembling, obviously afraid.
Ye Muyu woke up the second time Chu Ziluo called out to her. She touched her forehead and felt a slight fever. She was also feeling a little dizzy. No wonder she slept so soundly.
Thinking of his current situation, Ye Muyu only hesitated for a moment before slowly sitting up.
In the room, there was only the thin and ragged girl in front of her. She knew that she was the eldest daughter of the original owner, Zi Luo. She was very sensible, but she had always been enslaved by the original owner. At a young age, she had to take on all the household chores.
As for the original owner, she found an excuse that her health was not good and refused to work.
In addition, the couple mostly stayed separately. Chu Heng, the male owner of the family, had to go to school and was not at home for a long time, so no one cared about her. Naturally, the original owner had the final say in the family.
