I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

"Open the door! Open the door for me! Don't hide in there and keep silent!

"You dare to steal my eggs and eat them, your whole family will be sick. You son of a bitch, I'll kill you with greed. You deserve what your family has become like this, it's karma!"

In Banyue Village, outside a low thatched house at the foot of the mountain, a burly woman was banging on the wooden door and cursing with spit flying.

Inside the room, Song Anning sat on the bed, her head full of questions.

"???"

"Where did this come from?"

She, a rookie in the workplace who had just graduated, returned to the village to start a business because she couldn't stand the pressure of 996.

Just when things were getting better and I made some money, but before I had time to spend it, I performed a time travel show for everyone.

O(╥﹏╥)o

The strange memories that flooded her mind made her realize that her soul had come to an ancient time she had never heard of and occupied someone else's body.

The original owner had the same name and surname as her, also called Song An Ning, thirteen years old, the eldest daughter in the family.

She is lazy and greedy all day long, selfish and dishonest, and is the most despicable girl in the surrounding villages.

A few months ago, the original owner's father and eldest brother went hunting in the mountains and never returned. Her mother couldn't bear this blow and became crazy.

The original owner, who was left unattended, completely let himself go and became a big scourge in the village.

Just now, the original owner was caught stealing eggs from a woman outside the house. In a panic, he swallowed three eggs and choked to death...

"..."

Perhaps because she heard some noise inside the house, the woman became more and more ferocious in her attacks, as if she was going to take the door down.

Song An Ning sighed resignedly, let the greedy girl rest in peace, since she was already here, she might as well make do with her life for now.

Thinking about this, she got up from the bed, pulled open the door latch, and shouted like the original owner: "Don't scream at me! I just took a few eggs from your house, so I'm going to return them to you."

The woman outside the door staggered, fearing that Song An Ning would deny it, so she stepped forward and grabbed her wrist tightly: "How dare you say stealing is taking? You're going to lose face!

Since you said you want to pay me back, here are four eggs for eight cents, and half a pound of dried radish and two steamed buns from half a month ago, a total of twenty copper coins. Take the money.

If you don’t return it today, I won’t leave!”

"Yes, I'm not leaving!"

"Song family girl, and my family's dried bamboo shoots and mushrooms..."

“My salted duck eggs…”

A group of villagers gathered together and saw that there were many people standing in front of her house. The head of Banyue Village was standing in the front with a sullen face.

Song Anning imitated the original owner and dug his ears nonchalantly, but he was seriously thinking in his heart:

In the past few months, the original owner had eaten up all the poultry and grain at home, leaving only three copper coins, which was enough to buy a pound of grains.

But now there are dozens of people coming to collect debts, and they demand at least three or four taels of silver.

What's more serious is that the original owner's actions have aroused public anger. This time, the village head is taking the lead in collecting the debt. If they don't give an explanation, I'm afraid that Banyue Village will not be able to accommodate them.

As Song An Ning expected, the village head cleared his throat and said, "Aning, you are really outrageous. It's only been a short time, and you've almost robbed the entire village.

Other people’s things are also hard-earned. If something happens in your home, it is not an excuse for you to steal things!

If you don't give me an explanation today, even I, your elder, can't protect you."

As he spoke, he winked at Song An Ning. You can't write two Songs with one stroke. No matter how bad this girl was, she was still a child of his Song family. He was still biased towards her in his heart.

The villagers thought Song Anning would throw a tantrum and refuse to admit her mistake as usual, but unexpectedly she spoke calmly:

"Second Grandfather, Aning swears: I will never steal again, and I agree with what you said. It is only natural to pay back a debt.

But everyone knows my family's situation, we can't even afford to eat, so I can only pay it back slowly."

The villagers were completely stunned, and then they heard Song An Ning say, "Today, please ask Second Grandpa to be a witness. If anyone owes money, I will write an IOU and use the land deed as collateral. If the debt is not paid after one year, I will sell the land to make up for it."

The village head was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "At the latest, within a year. If you steal again, Banyue Village will no longer tolerate you."

The land is too precious to the villagers; it is the only hope for farmers. As soon as these words were spoken, the yard fell into complete silence.

What? What did they hear? Did the man swear never to steal again? And even pay back the money?

The woman who had just smashed the door took two steps back in fear and patted the person next to her:

"Pinch me, am I dreaming? Why did I hear the Song family girl say she paid back the money?"

"That's what they said..."

The people next to him stared at Song An Ning blankly. It must be God's blessing that they could hear the word "still" from this bastard's mouth!

The two acres of land of the Song family are worth at least a few taels of silver. What's there to disagree about?

It's so joyful to find something lost! Press your fingerprints, press them now!

Half an hour later, the crowd dispersed.

Song An Ning had a few more IOUs filled with words in his hand. After looking at them carefully, he found that there were a total of 62 households, with a total of 4 taels and 70 wen.

The most expensive ones were the five hens from Carpenter Wang's house. They were all egg-laying chickens, and the owner didn't ask for too much. He just paid a total of three hundred and fifty coins based on the price of the old hens in the town that couldn't lay eggs.

In the Nanyue Dynasty, one thousand copper coins were equal to one tael of silver. The amount owed by the original owner was enough to feed an ordinary farmer for more than two years.

After carefully putting away the IOU, Song Anning looked around the thatched house that was about to collapse. Having never suffered much hardship, she finally understood what it meant to be penniless.

The only things in the house that looked decent were two large wooden boxes, and two worn-out wooden beds with patched bedding so dirty that you couldn't tell their original color.

Two furry little heads huddled in a corner of the house, grinning at Song An Ning: "Sister, how come you got caught again? Next time, try stealing from a different house."

"I went to Second Grandfather's house to steal. He and Second Grandmother were kind-hearted and looked at me with pity and never made a fuss."

Song Anning's blood pressure soared when she heard this. These two children were the original owner's younger brother Song Zeyuan and younger sister Song Anyue. The five-year-old twins were very well-behaved and sensible. It had only been a short time since they were turned into this by the female leader!

With a cold glance, Song An Ning scolded, "You can't steal from anyone. How can that be a good thing? If you get caught stealing, you could get your hands and feet chopped off, or even beaten to death."

The two kids were stunned by what she said, but continued to smile playfully: "But you stole a lot, sister, hehe..."

"We didn't steal, nor did we eat with others, so they can't beat us..."

"..."

Numb! She's numb!

What a shattering start! Dad and big brother gone, mom gone mad, the family too poor to even eat, his own reputation in tatters, and the two little ones left behind being led astray.

"Mom, I want to go home, woo woo woo..."

Her mother's health is not very good and her father is old. Since she returned to the village to start a business, the old couple have been helping her out with all kinds of work. They feel that if they do more, their precious daughter will suffer less.

She had just made some money when she traveled through time. She couldn't imagine how sad her parents must have been.

Thinking of this, Song An Ning could no longer control herself, tears slid down her cheeks and fell to the ground with a plop.

Suddenly, a mechanical voice sounded cheerfully:

"Ding...Successfully bound to the host.

Master, don't cry, don't cry, Tongzi is here!"
