"Sister, don't sleep!"

"Sister, wake up!"

Meng Ruyue woke up slowly while the world was spinning. Before she could open her eyes, she heard the child's heart-wrenching cry.

"Ah!" Meng Ruyue groaned in pain as her head felt like it was exploding, and a memory that did not belong to her flooded into her mind like a tide.

The original owner was also called Meng Ruyue, and she was only 14 years old this year.

Her father, Meng Laosan, went to the provincial capital to work a year ago, but he never came back without a trace. She heard from people from the same village who came back from the provincial capital that Meng Laosan was a man of upright character, and he offended someone while working in the provincial capital and was killed by some ruffians.

After my father passed away, my mother, Mrs. Feng, was deeply shocked and fell ill. At first, the Meng family hired a doctor and bought medicine for her, but after spending money, her condition did not improve, so they gradually stopped caring about her. Half a year ago, Mrs. Feng passed away in grief and despair.

The original owner lived with her eight-year-old brother Meng Anping and six-year-old sister Meng Ruxue, along with their grandparents and uncles. Not only did this family not provide enough food for the three children, but they also shouldered all the hard, tiring, and dirty work. They were often beaten or scolded for any dissatisfaction, yet they were still considered a burden to the Meng family.

Early this morning, he was driven out by Mrs. Meng's wife, Zhou, and Mr. Meng's eldest son's wife, Hu, in the name of dividing the family.

In order to take care of his younger siblings, the original owner lived frugally and gave almost all his food rations to the two younger ones. This morning, when he heard that he had endured this, but Zhou still drove the three of them out, he couldn't breathe and died of hunger and anger.

It is precisely because of this that Meng Ruyue has traveled through time and space.

Meng Ruyue opened her eyes. The two children who had been crying for her sister just now immediately surrounded her with concern when they saw her wake up. "Sister, are you awake?"

Looking at the two little kids in front of her blinking their eyes at her, Meng Ruyue felt sad.

According to the original owner's memory, the two children are already six or seven years old this year, but due to long-term malnutrition, they look like they are only five or six years old, with pale faces and thin bodies. Their arms are as thin as bamboo poles and break easily with a slight bend.

Thinking of the original owner's tolerance, Meng Ruyue suddenly felt a surge of anger in her heart. Now that she had traveled here, these two little kids were her biological brothers and sisters.

She just couldn't believe that as a top student in the 21st century, she could let these two children starve?

Just when Meng Ruyue made up her mind, the depressed mood in her chest seemed to dissipate a lot.

Meng Ruyue was stunned. Before she had time to think about why this happened, she heard a disgusting sharp voice coming from the front.

"Oh, you're not pretending anymore?" A thin-faced woman said sarcastically, "Don't say our family is cruel. These three siblings refuse to obey our family's discipline and are not clean. Although our Meng family is a country family, my son Wenfeng is an upright scholar. Since they refuse to change despite repeated warnings, we have no choice but to separate and live separately. We cannot let people like this tarnish our Meng family's reputation."

The person who spoke was Meng Lao Da's wife, Mrs. Hu. Because her eldest son had passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, she always spoke in a very literary way. Although she was hunched over, she always held her head high, looking superior.

"Not only did my aunt kick us out of the house, she also wants to throw dirty water on us and accuse us wrongly?" Meng Anping said angrily with a cold face.

"How dare you talk back to your elders? You have no manners." Mrs. Hu was afraid that Meng Anping would expose her lies, so she quickly acted as an elder.

"We didn't steal anything, and we didn't disobey our grandparents." Xiao Ruxue also timidly refuted Mrs. Hu.

"Do you dare to say that our Wenxiu's silver hairpin was not found in your room?" Hu knew that no one would really verify it, so she just made up a story in front of the neighbors.

"You, you...you're talking nonsense." Meng Anping's eyes turned red with anger, and his thin chest heaved violently.

"Aunt, when did cousin Wenxiu ever have a silver hairpin?" Meng Ruyue, despite feeling dizzy, walked up to Mrs. Hu and calmly spoke to the onlookers. "My uncles and aunts have watched us grow up. Have we ever stolen anything? Have you ever seen Meng Wenxiu wearing a silver hairpin?"

Yes, when has Meng Wenxiu ever worn a silver hairpin? Isn't this a frame-up? With just one sentence, the crowd exploded.

Mrs. Hu cursed in her heart, when did this little bitch become so good at talking?

"Okay, okay, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Since we've divided the family business, just leave." She was worried that if she talked too much, she would be exposed, because she was the mother of a scholar.

"The Meng family ignored my parents' death and drove my sister and me out of the house on trumped-up charges. They were so cruel and disregarded blood ties. How can my parents rest in peace? Woo... Woo... Woo..." Meng Ruyue explained the truth and even cried out loud to gain everyone's sympathy.

Isn't it just about occupying the moral high ground? My abilities are no match for a vicious woman like you.

"How can you be so cruel, Wen Xiuniang? No matter what, this is the offspring of Meng Lao San."

"When Meng Lao San and his wife were alive, they worked hard for the Meng family. It's only been half a year since they died, and you, a wicked woman, have already kicked the child out. Be careful that Meng Lao San will come back to find you at night."

Mrs. Hu shuddered suddenly, but she remained firm in her words: "My family has raised these three for more than half a year. They made the mistake first. We didn't drive them away."

The neighbors tried to persuade and scold the Meng family, but unfortunately no one in the Meng family responded.

Seeing that the Meng family was acting like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, Meng Ruyue thought about adding fuel to the fire, so she secretly winked at her sister-in-law and quietly hinted that she should just play the victim and not fight them to the death.

"Aunt, please don't chase us away. I can do a lot of work. Please don't chase us away." Little Meng Ruxue squeezed in front of Mrs. Hu and begged her crying.

"I didn't drive you away. You were the ones who were disobedient and dishonest." Mrs. Hu couldn't break free from Meng Ruxue's hand for a moment, so she pushed the child hard, and the thin child fell to the ground.

"Aunt, Xue'er is so young, no matter what, you shouldn't push her like that." Meng Ruyue stumbled over, enduring a dizziness. She raised her hand to support her forehead, revealing the purple bruises on her arm. As Meng Anping hurriedly helped his sister up, he also seemed to inadvertently pull up his sleeve, revealing a patch of bruises.

"Don't pretend in front of me, leave quickly, leave quickly."

"My dear uncles and aunts, my parents are gone, and now the Meng family has kicked us out. Please bear witness for us. It's not that we are unfilial and leave home, but that the Meng family cannot accommodate us siblings." Meng Ruyue looked at Hu coldly, but said the most pitiful words.

"Oh my god, the Meng family is so heartless! Look at the scars on these children's hands. Not only do they abuse them, but they also frame them. This is truly unforgivable!"

"Don't throw dirty water on my house, you little bitch." Looking at Meng Ruyue's cold eyes, Mrs. Hu couldn't help but tremble in her heart.

"Hurry up and go home." Seeing the neighbors pointing fingers at his wife, Boss Meng hurriedly called her back home. Although they themselves did not live by their reputation, they could not ignore their son's reputation. Mengjia Village was so small, and if the situation got too ugly, it would be difficult for their family to live here.

When everyone saw Hu leave, they shouted and cursed at the wooden door of the Meng family and then dispersed.

Holding her still dizzy head, Meng Ruyue cursed the heartless Meng family in her heart. "Damn the Meng family! I'm the 21st century's 'White Bone Demon'. How dare you treat me like this? When I become rich again, I'll throw money at you and kill you. No, it's too good to be true. I envy you to death."

The two children are obsessed with the heroine's body.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Meng Anping asked anxiously, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Meng Ruxue also held her hand tightly with tears in her eyes, fearing that she would fall asleep like her mother and never wake up.

Silly child, I’m not feeling well anywhere, I’m just hungry and feeling uncomfortable everywhere, okay?

She raised her hand and touched the two children's heads, and comforted them in a hoarse voice: "Don't be afraid, sister is fine..."

Gululu...Gululu...

She was about to say a few more sentimental words, but was interrupted by a gurgling sound. Looking at the two poor little ones, Meng Ruyue stopped talking nonsense. Dizzy and dazed with hunger, she struggled to stand up, holding a child in each hand, and said weakly, "Are you hungry? Come on, sister will take you to find something to eat."

Fortunately, it was early summer. If it were winter, the three siblings would have either starved to death or frozen to death. Meng Ruyue sighed.

Meng Ruyue walked and hesitated as she surveyed the unfamiliar surroundings. Oh my god, where was she going to find food? Could I be the first time-traveling woman to starve to death in ancient times?
