Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Xu Wenyan frowned, and suddenly a pain came over his arm.

When he looked down, he saw that it was Zhang who was pinching his arm hard with her fingernails.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound was heard, and Xu Wenyan first slapped Zhang in the face, then pulled her sleeves open.

"Aunt Zhang, this is my home. Are you trying to curse me by bringing such unclean things here?" Xu Wenyan looked at Zhang expressionlessly. He had already repaid the original body's kindness, so there was no need to show any mercy now.

"You come to disturb me again and again. Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

Seeing that Zhang was trying to grab him again, Xu Wenyan kicked her to the ground again. Then he used his arms to pull Zhang's collar from behind and pulled her out of the yard.

"I don't owe your family anything. I gave you six taels in total, which is the most I can do. If you break into my house again, I'll send you to jail."

Under Xu Wenyan's cold gaze, the gate of the yard was closed heavily.

Zhang's eyes widened, she was startled by the sound of the door closing, and then she laughed foolishly.

"Haha, haha, hahahaha." She stood up crazily and ran out of the village dancing.

......

My name is Zhang Guoying, and I’m from Zhangjia Village.

I was fifteen that year. Many people, including many men, came to our house that day. They glared at my father fiercely. My mother hugged my brother tightly in her arms, without saying a word and without even looking at me.

I was so scared at the time that I could only curl up in a corner. I saw those people beating and kicking my father, saying that they would kill him if he didn't pay back the money.

My father just kept begging for mercy on the ground, hoping that they could give him a few more days. My father has been ill since he was young. Not only is his skin white, but he is also extremely thin and weak.

But my father was the only child in my grandmother's family, and she gave him the best since he was a child.

He was weak and could not work, so he thought about going into business. His grandfather had advised him against it, but his father had his own ambitions because his good brother told him to make money by doing business.

My father invested in it without hesitation. He took all the money from my grandfather and said it was an investment.

Soon, my father opened a small business in the county together with his good brother.

But, it was my father who paid the money, so why should his two brothers’ names be used?

I was thirteen at that time, not old enough to be naive. I knew what this kind of brother of my father was called. It seemed to be called, "70% Sitting and Thinking". I didn't understand why it was 70% and not 80%.

I still remember the first time my father did business. He sold something called Wu Shi San. At first he just took a bottle home. Seeing how cautious he was, I became more and more curious.

But my father didn't tell us anything. He was always discussing it in secret with his brothers.

At the beginning, my father made money, and my grandparents praised him as a promising man. Every day, my father brought back meat from outside, as well as new clothes and new shoes.

My grandma told me every day that our family would become rich in the future and live in a big house in the county.

I was also very happy at that time. This thing called Wu Shi San is really magical. The bland meals at home have become delicious. It turns out that it’s not that my mother’s cooking skills are bad, but that there is no seasoning.

I gained a lot of weight from eating so much during those days, and my brother even got a pair of silver bracelets on his hands.

I am really envious, but I am satisfied as long as I can eat delicious meals every day.

Life is getting better day by day, the house has been renovated, and my father's business is getting better and better. Yesterday he brought back three bottles of Wu Shi San.

After I heard this secretly, I felt even happier. One bottle of Wu Shi San could transform our home. With three bottles, could we really live in a big house in the county as grandma said?

The more I think about it, the happier I am.

But gradually, something was wrong with my father. I often heard him quarreling with his brothers, and the content seemed to be about Wu Shi San and even the government.

As the days went by, they quarreled more and more fiercely, until this day, they had a complete falling out and the business was sold to be divided equally between them.

From that day on, there was no meat in the house. Grandma said it was for a change of taste.

But then my father sold the house and the land, the new clothes and shoes he gave me, and even my brother's pair of silver bracelets.

We didn't live in a big house in the county, but instead lived in the smallest and most shabby thatched cottage in Zhangjia Village.

My grandparents quarreled with my father, and my parents also often quarreled. My mother said that she wanted to take my younger brother back to her parents' home, but my father didn't want to. My mother then said that she only wanted to take my younger brother with her when she divorced. My father didn't want to, and he only wanted my younger brother.

That day they fought with someone because of their younger brother.

I curled up against the wall and didn't dare to say a word.

Until that day, many men broke into the house, beat my father up and said they were giving him a few days to think about it.

That day, my father came to see me with a swollen face. He was weak to begin with, and the slightest bump would leave bruises on his body. He looked so pitiful.

He looked at me for a long time before he spoke: "Yingying, Daddy has something to ask of you."

My father talked to me a lot that day. He said that he had hidden a bottle of something called Wu Shi San, and now he was avoiding the court's search, so he wanted to distance himself from his brothers.

He can make a comeback once the government stops pursuing him. Now he has no money at all, and he needs me to pay.

I have loved my father the most since I was a child, so I agreed.

The next day, the village matchmaker Hu came to our house. My father chatted with her and soon I was taken to a faraway place.

This place is called Xujia Village. They said that I was married here and would be the wife of a young man named Xu Fu.

I didn't resist because I knew that as long as I waited here, I would be able to wait for my father to come and live in a big house in the county with him.

But I waited for two years. That year I gave birth to a boy named Dashan. Fortunately, he was born to Xu Fu and was relatively healthy. Actually, I didn't have any feelings for Xu Fu, and he treated me indifferently too.

Three years later, I gave birth to Jinhua and Yan'er one after another. Yan'er looked somewhat like daddy, and I loved him very much and felt sorry for him. It was also in that year that I got news about daddy.

But that was what the matchmaker at the time heard. That day I unexpectedly met Matchmaker Hu, and she said that my father had settled down in the city, and the whole family was living a good life.

My heart died on the spot. My five years of waiting seemed like a joke. I got the news and went back with a gloomy face. I turned my head to look at the thin and pale Yan'er.

But whenever I saw him, I thought of my father. I wanted to strangle him to death, but my mother found out. I wanted to throw Yan'er away, but Xu Fu's parents refused to let me do so, saying that it would shorten their lifespans.

In fact, sometimes I feel sorry for my Yan'er. He has been very weak since he was young, and he would always watch my expression carefully. I was the same when I was a child.

But my temper became more and more irritable. Whenever I saw Yan'er, I thought of my father.

Whenever I think of my father, the suffering he endured over the past five years comes back to torment me again and again.

I want revenge...revenge on the Xu family. If it weren't for the Xu family, I wouldn't be able to go to the city with my father and live a good life.

When I return to the city, I will take revenge on my father and ask him why he hasn't come to see me for five years.

If he can't give an explanation, I will sue him in court.

I want revenge on these little bastards.

Their existence makes me feel humiliated.

Especially Yan'er.
