Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

The sun was blazing brightly, and the heat was unbearable. Under the big locust tree at the entrance of Liujia Village, a group of men, women, and children gathered to enjoy the cool air. Suddenly, a shrill cry was heard.

"Xu'er! Xu'er! Xu'er, wake up!" When everyone heard the voice, they all rushed towards the yard where the crying came from, and soon surrounded the small mud yard.

In the yard, a skinny woman wearing coarse linen clothes and with a pointed belly was slumped on the ground, holding tightly in her arms a little girl whose head was covered in blood and whose face could no longer be seen.

"Wuwuwu, Xu'er, wake up quickly, you can't abandon your mother..."

"Cry, cry, cry. I'm still alive and well. Why are you weeping? You're just a money-loser. When you die, just drag you out and bury you!" Not far from the woman, an old lady with triangular eyes drooping and a cunning look between her eyebrows shouted sarcastically.

"What a sin! How could Zhang be so cruel to such a young child..."

"Yes, yes. Besides, look at Donglai's wife. Donglai has only been gone for about half a year, and she has tortured me like this. Tsk tsk tsk tsk."

"That's right! Mrs. Zhang is too cruel. It's ok that she favors her eldest son, but her son Donglai went to serve in the army for his brother, leaving behind a pregnant orphan and a widow. I don't know if she can hold on until he returns..."

The villagers were talking about it. The village chief Liu Dahai stamped his feet and shouted angrily: "What are you yelling about? Go and call the doctor!"

A man in the crowd heard this and ran towards the home of Doctor Meng, the village doctor.

Liujia Village, as the name suggests, most of the villagers have the surname Liu, and the few with other surnames are outsiders who settled here for various reasons.

The village chief Liu Dahai is the eldest cousin of the head of the family and the patriarch of the Liu family. In this era, the words of the head of a family are sometimes more effective than those of the village chief or the head of the neighborhood. Therefore, Liu Dahai, who holds two positions at the same time, can be said to be quite prestigious in the village.

Doctor Meng settled here five years ago. He is a single man. He usually dries herbs at home or collects herbs in the mountains. Whenever someone in the village has a headache, fever, or a fall, the old man will help diagnose and treat them. In addition, his fees are very low. If he encounters a poor family, he will not only buy on credit, but also generously give herbal medicine to them. Therefore, he is deeply respected and loved by the villagers.

"Dashan family, what's going on? Why did you beat people like this for no reason?" Seeing that someone had gone to ask for a doctor, the village chief asked the old woman with a stern look on his face.

"Uncle, what do you mean by 'without a reason'? It's obviously the fault of this damn girl. Cheng Ming is studying in the county town, and the cost is not small. Our whole family, from top to bottom, even me and my old man, have been thrifty every day, but she actually stole the eggs from home.

That was the money I saved to buy Cheng Ming some pens and ink. This damn girl refused to admit her guilt after being found out, can't I teach my granddaughter a lesson?" the old woman yelled.

"No, mother! Xuer said she didn't do it, she was wronged! Wuuuu..." The woman couldn't help but retort when she saw the old woman framing her daughter again.

"Bah, shut up! Cai'er said he saw it with his own eyes, how could he be wrong? How could I raise two unlucky people like you? I'm not going to teach her a lesson today, but even if I beat her to death, she deserves it! Bah!"

"No, mother...it's really not Xu'er...wuwuwu"

"Okay, is this a lesson for you? Someone is almost dead. Don't you know that killing someone means paying with your life?

If something happens to Xu'er today, don't even mention whether you are doing Donglai justice. You will just have to wait until you go to jail!"

Hearing this, the old woman glared at him with her drooping eyes and yelled, "Uncle, you are kidding. In this country, which child doesn't get beaten? She stole something, so I can't teach her a lesson? She has a bad fate. She died, so why should I pay for her life?"

"According to the laws of Dongsheng, what you did is called beating to death, so you must pay with your life!" said the village chief angrily.

"She's not dead yet." The old woman was a little scared when she heard that, and she shrank her neck and whispered back. Seeing her reckless look, and looking at Liu Dashan who was silent behind her, and the half-open door behind her, the village chief Liu Dahai was so angry that his fingers were shaking.

My whole body felt weak and my head seemed to be stuffed with paste. The noises of shouting and women crying were very noisy. Liu Xu opened his eyes impatiently, looked around, and was stunned: Who am I? Where am I?

A mud courtyard, coarse linen clothes, and this ancient look? Is this a movie?

She clearly remembered that she was crossing the road just now, but unfortunately, she was hit by a car and lost consciousness before she could see the license plate clearly.

A dull pain came from her head, and Liu Xu couldn't help but close her eyes again! A strange yet familiar scene flashed through her mind one by one.

Oh my god, so, what's wrong with me? I was transported to a six-year-old girl with the same name and surname as me. But... God, I'll just wear it. In those novels, they are either princesses or princesses, and at the very least, they have a space and golden fingers. Why is she just a country girl with nothing?

It's fine if she's just a little girl, but this one has an absent father, a sloppy mother, and a pair of biased grandparents, and a vicious and cunning uncle? The original owner's father had only been in the military for less than half a year, and he treated people so harshly?

As the saying goes, if you want a horse to run, you have to give it more grass. This family... is even more vicious than Zhou Baopi. They just make them work every day without any food... I'm afraid there's only skin left on their bones, right?

Look at her mother, this stinky father left and left a seed. The original owner's mother had to work in the fields with a big belly. Her whole skeleton was supporting a big ball. It was scary to think about it.

You can say that the family is poor, but even though the courtyard is made of mud, it is covered with tiles, which makes them a wealthy family in this countryside! According to the original owner's memory, the family has more than 20 acres of land, so it's not like they can't have enough food and clothing, right?

Look at the fat body of old lady Zhang, coupled with her inverted triangle eyes, it's really a waste of that figure (after all, in her impression, people with a big heart are fat, and such people are generally kind). And although her grandfather is not fat, he is also a spirited old man. Not to mention her uncle Liu Donglai's family, each of them is like the master, mistress, young master and young lady in the town. Just look at this family background, compared with the mother and daughter, it can't be said that it's intentional, who would believe it? This family is simply black-hearted from the old to the young, from top to bottom!

According to the memories left by the original owner, Liu Xu learned that this was a dynasty that did not exist in history. As for whether there were similar dynasties, she had to slowly dig it out by herself. After all, except when her father was around, she could occasionally go to the town, so there was really not much reference information.

All she knew was that the country was called Dongsheng, the county seat was called Qinghe County, and her home was in Yuyang Town, Qinghe County. As for the rest, she could only discover it on her own.

Her name is Liu Xu, and she is now the only daughter of the second son of Liu Dashan, a farmer in Liujia Village.

Her father's name is Liu Donglai. He has an older brother and an older sister. He is a country man who is good at hunting. Because Liu Dashan and his wife are partial to each other, in order to support their eldest son's education, they first sold her 8-year-old aunt Liu Xiumei for a betrothal gift of taels. No, she married her to a widower named Liu in the next town as a concubine. It is said that her widower is years older than Liu Xiumei, and his family is still very poor. The betrothal gift was raised by selling two acres of several acres of land in the family. It is conceivable how difficult her cheap aunt's life was after she married him. The only benefit is that the deceased wife died early and did not leave behind any stepsons.

As for his father Liu Donglai, Zhang almost died when he was born, and he was disliked by Zhang since he was a child. Liu Dashan protected him at first because he was the youngest son, but Zhang was very noisy, and the family was poor at that time and he had to make money to support the family, so he gradually let him go. Liu Donglai can be said to be raised by his sister Liu Xiumei. As soon as Liu Xiumei got married, Liu Donglai, who was only eleven years old, was forced by his mother to learn hunting in order to continue to support his elder brother Liu Dongcheng, who was five years older than him, to study. This support lasted for many years, but until he was twenty years old, Liu Dongcheng's eldest son Liu Chengming was eight years old, and his eldest daughter Liu Juan was five years old, Liu Donglai didn't even let Zhang find a match for him, let alone get married.

Until one day when he went to the county town to sell wild animals, he rescued an orphan girl named Xu Ruolan. Seeing that she had nowhere to go, he took her home.

Seeing that Xu Ruolan was alone, Zhang came up with an idea. She asked Xu Ruolan to marry Liu Donglai on the pretext of repaying her for saving her life. In this way, she could marry Liu Donglai a wife without spending a penny. Their family would no longer be criticized by the villagers.

After spending a short time together, Liu Donglai and Xu Ruolan developed some feelings for each other, and since Xu Ruolan really had nowhere to go, when Zhang proposed the idea, they both agreed.

Their relationship became better after marriage, and Xu Ruolan soon became pregnant. Liu Donglai treated Xu Ruolan like a treasure, and he would only give the remaining money from hunting to the public after buying some things for his wife.

Zhang was naturally dissatisfied after knowing this and she made a lot of troubles, but Liu Donglai still did the same. He knew Xu Ruolan's background and felt that his wife had suffered a great loss by marrying him, and he could only make up for it by treating her better. For this reason, Zhang scolded Liu Donglai every now and then for being unfilial and forgetting his mother after having a wife, and scolded Xu Ruolan for being a foxy woman who had bewitched Liu Donglai.

Liu Xu was born in the second year after marriage. Because of the previous dissatisfaction and the fact that Xu Ruolan gave birth to another daughter, a few days after the birth, while Liu Donglai went hunting in the mountains, he forced Xu Ruolan, who was in confinement, to work in the fields in the winter, so that Xu Ruolan could not get pregnant again in the following years. Zhang Shi even used this matter to make indirect accusations all day long, saying that Xu Ruolan was a hen that did not lay eggs. She did not like the granddaughter of the original owner either, but because Liu Donglai spoiled his daughter and most of the newly built houses and fields in the family were earned by him, she could only curse a few words without hurting anyone.

A few years passed, and Liu Xu was six years old. At the beginning of the year, everyone was still immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the New Year. Beihan suddenly launched a fierce attack on the border of Dongsheng. Two hundred thousand soldiers came fiercely, causing the battle situation at the border to become extremely urgent, and the court also urgently recruited soldiers. The biased Zhang, on the grounds that Liu Dongcheng was a weak scholar and Liu Donglai could protect himself by hunting for a long time, persuaded Liu Dashan to let Liu Donglai replace Liu Dongcheng to serve in the army.

Liu Dashan thought his wife's words made sense, so he agreed. Liu Donglai was kind-hearted and loyal, so he couldn't refuse his parents' request, so he had to bite his teeth and agree.

On the day of their departure, he hugged his wife and daughter tightly, his eyes full of attachment and reluctance. He knew his mother's temper very well, and told Xu Ruolan to take good care of herself and the child and wait for him to come back. Then he turned around decisively, carrying a simple bag and leaving Liujia Village with others. He didn't even know that his wife was pregnant again at that time.

After Liu Donglai left, Zhang Shi no longer had to hide her dissatisfaction with Xu Ruolan and her daughter. With the constant instigation of Chen Shuman and her daughter, Zhang Shi treated the orphan and widowed mother even more harshly. This time, it was because Liu Chengcai, the five-year-old son of the eldest uncle's family, stole eggs. When Liu Xu accidentally discovered it, he bit back and called his grandmother Zhang Cuihua to complain, causing the original owner to be hit on the head by his own grandmother with a stick and eventually lost his life.

After sorting out the original owner's memories, Liu Xu took a deep breath and decided to make the best of it. "Little Liu Xu, don't worry, I will live well for you. I swear to take good care of our mother and our brother or sister, and I will definitely find a chance to avenge you!" Liu Xu said in his heart.
