Shen Mingzhu sighed softly. No wonder the old man chased her father with a stick and beat him. With the temper of the original owner's father, he had to beat him!

"Mingzhu, since we have traveled here, we have to change the way we address each other. From now on, you have to call your father "Dad" and your mother "Mom".

We must conceal our past life experiences, otherwise, we will all be burned to death as monsters."

"And Ruhai, Baoer, you also have to be careful. You can't change your temperament too much all at once. You have to change it slowly."

Old Lady Shen listened to a lot of online novels in her previous life, and she solemnly warned Mingzhu and the other two. Mingzhu's parents nodded in agreement, and Mingzhu also quickly said that she would do so.

God knows how powerful private law was in ancient times. Although this is a fictional dynasty, it is similar to ancient China. People would be drowned in ponds or burned to death at stakes at any time.

She had finally come back to life, and she didn't want to be burned to death like this.

Thinking of this, Shen Mingzhu shuddered and fell into thought again.

Their family was considered lucky. The old man had the title of scholar, which exempted him from taxes on his land. He also built a private school in the village, which provided him with some tuition fees every year.

In this era when people could not even get enough food, their family lived in the only blue brick and tile house in the village. They could eat until they were 80% full at every meal, so they were considered a well-off family.

In the village, except for their house and the village chief's house, all the houses are thatched adobe houses, and the villagers often do not have enough food.

There was no other way. The grain production in this dynasty was extremely low, and farmers had to pay high taxes. It was good enough to be able to survive.

Shen Mingzhu listened to the sound of two children playing outside and thought about the current situation at home.

Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen had three sons and two daughters. The eldest uncle, Mr. Shen, whose full name is Shen Rujiang, is 37 years old this year.

Because he had studied in a private school with his grandfather for several years, he could read and do accounting. He worked as a manager of a cloth shop in the town, married Li, and had two sons and one daughter.

My eldest cousin, Shen Mingkuan, is 21 years old this year. He married Ms. Hu and has a son who is now five years old.

My second cousin Shen Mingjun is now 19 years old and studies in the county town with my eldest cousin.

My eldest cousin, Shen Mingzi, is now 11 years old. She is very beautiful and is raised in the town by my uncle's family as a rich girl.

Since my aunt, Li, was the daughter of a cloth shop owner, and my eldest cousin's wife was the daughter of a butcher in town, both of them had generous dowries and did not want to return to Shenjia Village to farm.

In the name of taking care of their husbands and children, the eldest family has been living in the town, and only returns to Shenjia Village for two days during festivals or when they need money.

Thinking of the faces of her uncle's family in her memory, Shen Mingzhu felt that her uncle's family was not as filial and kind as they appeared to be. They all wore hypocritical masks and were very fake.

The second uncle, Shen Laoer, whose full name was Shen Rushan, was loyal and honest. He was the only one in his family who worked on the fields. He married Zhong and had two sons.

Shen Mingshan, the third cousin of my second uncle, was 18 years old. Since he had no talent for studying, he followed my second uncle to farm at home.

The fifth cousin Shen Mingbao was 8 years old and studied in the private school run by his grandfather. Since he was about the same age as Shen Mingzhu's younger brother, the two children had a good relationship and often played together.

My second aunt, Mrs. Zhong, came from a farming family and her family favored boys over girls, so she developed an introverted personality and didn't have that many little thoughts.

Shen Mingzhu's father, Shen Ruhai, is the third son of the Shen family. He is very smart and has a great talent for studying.

He used to be the hope of Old Man Shen and even the entire family, but after passing the examination to become a student, he stopped studying and spent his days swindling money from old ladies to go to the town to drink and have fun.

Because of this, the old man was very angry and often beat him with a stick.

He ran fast and was rarely hit by the old man, but he didn't go home to farm, and was given a reputation as an uneducated and lazy scoundrel who spent his days idling.

Shen Mingzhu's mother, Su, was named Su Baoer. Since Su's father was a hunter in the mountains and Su had three older brothers who loved her very much, she was brought up in pampered condition at home. Even after she got married, she lived a pretty good life.

Su had never done farm work since she was a child. She learned embroidery from an old lady from a wealthy family in the village. She was very good at embroidering handkerchiefs, so she had a skill. Even though her husband did not work hard, she lived a good life.

Su was not good at doing housework, farming or feeding pigs. She never got involved in household affairs, just like a young lady. For this, she was often blamed by the original owner's grandmother.

Also, because her eldest brother from her natal family always sent prey, her mother-in-law might complain but she would never enslave her like she did to her second daughter-in-law. It can be said that Su lived a very comfortable life in this family.

Shen Mingzhu sighed in her heart, in this world, a married woman’s parents’ home is her confidence!

Shen Mingzhu's family belongs to the third branch. She has an older brother, Shen Mingshu, who is 11 years old and ranks fourth in the entire family. He is the only relatively normal person in their family.

Her elder brother Shen Mingshu is not only good at studying, but also very polite, which gives her father Shen Laosan and Su more capital to do whatever they want at home.

Only Shen Mingzhu knows how sinister her brother is besides her selfish parents.

Thinking of her modern brother, a smile flashed across Shen Mingzhu's eyes. She was looking forward to meeting that brother who looked gentle on the outside but was a kind-hearted man at heart!

Shen Mingzhu in this world has a younger brother, who is 6 years old. He is very smart, but also likes to show off, is naughty and a troublemaker who loves to bully other children.

I inherited his father's true teachings at a young age. Relying on the fact that he was the grandson of a scholar, I often took a group of little brats to play mischief and bully children from poor families.

As for the original owner, there is no need to mention it. As a girl in the family, she not only did not help with washing vegetables and cooking, but she also acted superior all day long and looked down on others. She had no younger sisters in the village.

In general, their family lived a pretty good life in the village, but this was based on enslaving the second uncle's family.

Shen Mingzhu and her family not only rely on their parents, but also on their second uncle. Not only that, they also seem to feel justified in doing so.

Thinking of the situation at home, Shen Mingzhu's mouth twitched and she was speechless. Then she thought that since her family had traveled through time, they would definitely not follow the old path of this extreme family.

Well, she also has an excellent aunt, the second sister of Shen Lao San, who is even more excellent than their family.

Fortunately, there is another aunt who is sensible, that is Shen Laosan’s older sister.

Shen Mingzhu was lost in thought when she suddenly heard her grandmother say "Ah" and said to Shen Mingzhu and the other two,

"The old man called me. You guys discuss it first. I'll go over first." After saying that, she quickly left the house.

As soon as Old Lady Shen left, the house suddenly became quiet. Shen Mingzhu and the other two looked at each other, but no one said a word.

Shen Lao San (now officially changed to the ancient name) was the first to break the silence:

"We are a family that has traveled through time, and we should be happy. But our original family was all top-notch, and we need to change the impression of our original family in the village."

"Yes, Dad, we can't be like the original family. They are too lazy."

"Yeah, I agree!"

The mother and daughter spoke at the same time. They were capable people and couldn't be as lazy as their original family.

"Then how are we going to live in the future? The original Shen Laosan couldn't lift anything with his hands or carry anything on his shoulders. He didn't like to study and he couldn't farm..." Shen Laosan was a little worried.

Su thought for a moment and said, "The original owner of this body of mine can't do anything, but is good at embroidery. This is really a blessing in disguise. I can continue to embroider and sell my embroidery products."

Shen Mingzhu nodded vigorously. Her mother was the inheritor of Suzhou embroidery in the 21st century. Selling embroidery in this world was quite good.

However, embroidery hurts the eyes. My mother could make a living by embroidery when she was young, but she can no longer do so now that she is older.

She thought for a moment and said to her father:

"Dad, why don't you pick up your books and continue to take the imperial examination! You are a professor of Chinese language and literature at one of the most prestigious universities in modern times. It shouldn't be difficult for you to pass the imperial examination, right?"

Shen Mingzhu blinked her bright eyes and stared at her father. There seemed to be countless stars in her eyes, so bright.

"The dog exchange system has found the host. Ding... Is the host bound to the system? The dog exchange system..."

Just as Shen Mingzhu was looking at her father expectantly, a child-like voice suddenly came from her mind, causing her body to pause and her eyes to widen in disbelief.
