Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

Everything that was served at the Gu family’s dinner tonight was carefully prepared by Shi Yan in the space.

Various wild vegetables, chestnuts, and green-skinned eggs disguised as pheasant eggs were all the stocks in Shi Yan's space, which filled the Gu family's stomachs.

There were not many extracurricular activities in the village at that time. The autumn harvest was tiring enough, so people basically went to sleep after dinner.

But in the evening, after taking a shower and visiting his brother's sister-in-law's room, Gu Zhen decided to tidy up his mother's room according to the standards of his brother's sister-in-law's room.

So after dinner, Shi Yan and Gu Tao were responsible for taking Gu's mother to wash up, while Gu Song and Gu Zhen were responsible for cleaning the house and washing clothes, quilts and bed covers.

On the second day after Shi Yan entered the Gu family, the environment of the Gu family was completely renewed, and Shi Yan also began to boil medicine in the space to regulate her body.

It is the third day since Shi Yan entered the Gu family. Today is the day to return home. Originally, Shi Yan did not want to go back, but the Shi family sent someone to the Gu family one night in advance to remind her. The person who came is Shi Yan's eldest brother, who is also the one who married Gu Xiang. Gu Zhen wants to know how his sister Gu Xiang is doing, so he has to go even if Shi Yan does not want to go.

Because it was a replacement marriage, both of them entered their respective homes on the same day. Logically, Gu Xiang should also return to her parents' home. In order to see how Gu Xiang was doing at her husband's house, Gu Zhen specially moved up the time of returning to her parents' home before going to work, so he woke up Shi Yan early in the morning.

In order to express his sincerity, Gu Zhen brought some sweet potatoes and the last bit of food in the rice jar. He also brought the chestnuts that Shi Yan found from the "mountains", and the two of them went to Shi's house.

The Shi family's yard was quiet, but from the smoke rising above the yard, it could be judged that someone in the Shi family must have gotten up.

Shi Yan knocked on the gate first, and soon hurried footsteps were heard in the yard, followed by a "creak" and the gate was opened from the inside.

A delicate but slightly haggard face poked out from the door. When he saw Shi Yan, he was stunned at first. When he saw Gu Zhen beside Shi Yan, he smiled.

"elder brother!"

"Ah Xiang, your sister-in-law and I are here to visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Are they still awake? Let's go in first and sit in the yard and wait for a while."

Gu Zhen was very happy to see his sister, and thought he could talk to her before going to work, but he didn't expect Gu Xiang to look embarrassed.

"Brother, my mother-in-law said that we are busy with farming and don't have time to entertain you. She asked you to give me the things you brought and you can go back."

Gu Zhen, who had a smile on his face, immediately frowned.

"What do you mean, you won't let me sit in the yard, and you don't have to go back home?"

Gu Xiang looked a little sad: "Brother, my mother-in-law said that I was married by exchange, so there is no need to go through all these empty formalities."

"Brother, put down your things and take my sister-in-law back. Don't make things difficult for her!"

When Shi Yan heard this, she knew that the Shi family wanted to take advantage of the Gu family but didn't want to spend any money, so she deliberately let Gu Xiang, her younger sister, stop Gu Zhen.

Shi Yan knew from the original owner's memory that Shi's mother would never let the new daughter-in-law Gu Xiang go into the kitchen to cook alone.

After all, she was afraid that someone would steal the food rations of her husband and son, so she couldn't help but keep watch.

He might be eavesdropping on their conversation in the yard right now.

"Brother Zhen, since our parents are still asleep, let's go."

"However, I am also married to the Gu family, so let's not worry about these empty formalities, otherwise the villagers will definitely gossip about my parents coveting the things of the new son-in-law!"

"The new bride-in-law is not allowed to return home, but the daughter-in-law has to bring a lot of bags home. If this gets out, my parents will be in trouble, and I will also be embarrassed."

"Brother Zhen, let's take the things back!"

The original owner didn't say what he wanted to do to the Shi family, but Shi Yan didn't want such vampire-like parents, so naturally she wanted to find a way to break up with them.

At first, Gu Zhen was just angry and wanted to take his sister home, but now he was stunned by Shi Yan's words.

Before he could say anything else, someone got anxious first.

"You shameless money loser, I raised you up, and now you're married and you don't even bring anything home."

"You shameless bitch, how come after you get married, you turn your elbows outward and can't leave your man!"

Shi's mother's curses were extremely harsh, and coupled with her piercing voice, Shi Yan subconsciously covered her ears with her hands and hid behind the tall and strong man.

When Gu Zhen saw Shi's mother's harsh look, he consciously took a step forward and protected his young wife behind him.

"Mom, how can you say that to me? I am only thinking about your reputation."

"Gu Xiang and I are both exchanged marriages. Since mother doesn't want to pay attention to these empty formalities, I, as a daughter, must obey. How can you say this to me?"

"Mom, you're going to force me to death! I, I won't live any longer!"

Shi Yan howled loudly in a crying voice. It was the time when everyone got up and prepared to go to work. Her loud noise soon attracted the attention of the neighbors next door.

"Mother-in-law, what do you mean by this? Why do you say this about my wife? Didn't you send my uncle to our house last night and tell us not to forget to bring something when we return home today?"

"How come we are all here, but you not only won't let us in, you won't even let my sister go home? Since you said that there is no need to go home to give gifts when exchanging marriages, we are following the rules and won't give gifts, but you are so anxious to slander me like this?"

Gu Zhen is not stupid either. Especially when he was right, he quickly agreed with Shi Yan's words and even pulled his sister towards him, worried that she would be implicated.

"This is the Shi family. What's wrong with me educating my daughter? Do you think our family cares about a girl like you who cares about the Gu family? You are such an unlucky thing!"

The reason why Shi's mother was willing to exchange marriage with the Gu family was because her beloved son fell in love with Gu Xiang from the Gu family.

He felt that Gu Xiang had only attended junior high school and was pretty, so marrying her would be no different from marrying those educated youth from the city, and the son he would have in the future would also be smarter.

But she didn't expect that something bad would happen on the day Gu Xiang came to her house. Her son couldn't get close to his new wife and couldn't have a baby for the time being, so she could only let Gu Xiang do the work.

But the new daughter-in-law was not as efficient as her family members at work. She asked people to clean up the private plot, wash clothes for the whole family, and fetch water from the well in the village. She even fainted.

Her son had just gotten married and was still very fond of her. Seeing that Gu Xiang had fainted, she was actually mean to her as his mother.

To Shi's mother, anyone who destroyed the relationship between her and her precious son was a troublemaker, and naturally she disliked him more and more.

At this moment, she even wanted to break off the engagement, but she always wanted to take advantage of him and not let someone sleep with her money-losing guy for nothing.

"Xiao Man is now my legitimate wife. Although it is a marriage exchange and no dowry is required, when you sent her to our home, I still let you take all the food in the rice jar at home."

"This is considered as a betrothal gift. Xiaoman is a member of our Gu family. Even if you educate your daughter, you have to be reasonable. You can't let you be the only one to say good or bad things."

"Also, you said you looked down on the girl from my Gu family, so I'll take her away today. After all, it's not like my sister can't get married!"
