Cangnan Village.

The red sun was scorching the earth, and the fields were filled with working people who had relied on labor for generations. Some were hunched over watering and weeding, while others were gathered in groups of three or two under the shade of trees drinking water and chatting.

The land was leased to them by the village for cultivation, and the owner of the land was still struggling near a small hut at the foot of the mountain.

"Let me go! Lan Wangshu, I hate you. You'd better pray that I die before I leave home today, otherwise I will never let you go. You don't deserve to be my sister!"

The boy, who had just entered the voice change period, had a little hoarse voice, and to be honest it didn't sound very nice. Lan Wangshu frowned irritably, wondering who would be so unethical and shout so nonsense so early in the morning.

Just as she was about to get angry, she felt a burning pain on the back of her head.

She suddenly opened her eyes and saw the blue sky. A question mark slowly emerged in her mind. It seemed that she did not live on the top floor. She looked around and saw that she was still lying on the ground.

"Your sister has already sold you out. You have to leave whether you want to or not."

Lan Wangshu looked not far away and saw a big and strong woman. She didn't look like someone to be trifled with. The wrinkles on her face were from years of being fierce. At this moment, she was pulling a little boy with a ferocious look on her face.

His body was thin and his skin was pale. He was still tightly grasping the thick wooden stakes used as a fence at the door. His fingertips had lost their color from exerting so much force, but his eyes were still fixed on her with hatred.

Lan Wangshu rubbed the back of her head and struggled to get up from the ground. She had no time to be shocked and quickly sorted out the information in front of her.

First of all, she must have traveled through time. She touched the bump on the back of her head and ruled out the possibility that it was a dream.

Secondly, there were only three of them in the yard, so she had to be the one to sell her brother. Now, she had to sell her brother at the beginning. According to the plot of the novel, she would not have a good ending in this life.

Finally, she resigned herself to her fate and stepped forward to grab both men's wrists, then separated them and stood between them.

I don’t know if it’s too late to make my stance clear now. She can’t explain the reason clearly. I can only exchange my sincerity for sincerity.

"Little girl from the Lan family, what do you mean by this? You sold your brother to me for two taels of silver. Do you want to regret it now?"

Lan Wangshu knew the situation at home. With small earthen walls on all sides and a thatched roof, they must be so poor that they could barely make ends meet.

But she didn't know much about the prices in ancient times, and she didn't have a clear concept of two taels of silver. This brother who was as stubborn as a donkey would not be able to answer her questions.

He adjusted his expression and looked affectionate.

"No, it's like this. I've always been in the village, bartering, and I haven't seen much of the world. I think your dress is very sophisticated. So I want to take this opportunity to ask you what I can buy with two taels of silver."

The woman was so delighted to be called sister that she frowned and said she was not worthy of the title as she was already an old woman. She smoothed the hair on her temples and looked up and down at Lan Wangshu with satisfaction.

"You have good taste, little girl. Two taels of silver can do a lot of things. It's enough to buy two stone of rice for your family. That will last you a long time."

"Sister, you're right. I forgot for a moment whether the deed for this transaction was signed."

The woman's eyes were a little evasive. She casually raised her hands in front of her face and waved them, then bent slightly and took a breath, pretending that the struggle with Lan Luochen just now had cost her a lot of effort.

"We rural people don't care about this. We just pay the money and get the goods."

Lan Wangshu understood everything, but his expression remained unchanged. This was because they did not dare to leave any written evidence, and tacitly agreeing to it might not be legal.

She touched the broken silver on her cuffs. According to the family conditions of the original owner, there should be no silver. That was what she got today.

She supported the woman with a smile, calmly put the silver on the woman's waist, led the person out of the door, then wrapped the staff around her, restrained the smile on her face, and looked at the woman.

The woman opposite immediately turned gloomy, and she put her hands on her hips and started scolding her.

"You shameless little bitch, you thought you were a good person, but you dared to lie to me today. You have to sell this child whether you want to or not. If you take my money and dare not hand over the child, I will go to the government to sue you."

Lan Wangshu ignored her and quickly looked the boy up and down. The boy's eyes were fierce, as if he was looking at an enemy. He pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

She reached out and pulled the person over to whisper something to him, but he was obviously resisting and turned his head to the side uncomfortably.

However, there is a big age gap between them. The 14-year-old Lan Wangshu is already half a head taller than his younger brother.

"My sister fell on her head and lost her memory. I don't care who hurt me. If you don't want to be sold, just obey me. Insist that this woman forced you to buy her, do you hear me?"

"Got it. My name is Lan Luochen. Remember this and don't make any mistakes."

The little boy's eyes were full of shock and doubt. He stared at her for a while, as if he was confirming something. After a while, he looked away and resignedly responded, telling her his name.

Lan Wangshu hugged Lan Luochen and saw several figures running towards him from a distance, so he quickly calmed himself down.

She had no family in modern times, so she could only study hard. After graduating and working, she saved some money and wanted to open a small shop to support herself in her old age.

As a result, he didn't even have a single good day, and the person was gone before he even spent the money. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sad, my eyes became red, and when I turned around again, my face was covered with tear marks.

It hurt, it hurt so much, she deeply understood the true meaning of Uncle Benshan’s humor.

Lan Wangshu was really sad, and her face was full of grief. She had lost more money than Zhao Si's father.

The villagers who were resting in the fields heard a woman swearing in the distance. When they got closer, they saw that the little girl was crying because of the scolding. It was too much. Was she bullying them because there was no one in Cangnan Village?

Lan Luochen was completely confused. His sister had always rejected him and looked down on him. Why did she hug him? Was there some conspiracy?

Why is she crying? He didn't even cry after being sold. This woman is really good at acting. Don't be fooled by her in the future.

Today's incident left a deep mark in Lan Luochen's young heart.

"Shu girl, what's wrong?"

An elder in a long gown came from behind the crowd. The expressions of the others were respectful. Lan Wangshu took a look and thought that this man was most likely a scholar, and might even serve as the village chief.

She was unsure of the person's identity, so she could only sob, cover her mouth, and wave her hands. She looked so sad that she couldn't speak, and pushed Lan Luochen beside her.

"Grandpa Village Chief, this mother-in-law forced my sister to sell me. My sister didn't want to, so she tried to grab me at the door and pushed me down. Now she can't even recognize me."
