It's hard for my elder sister. I rely on the mountains to farm and pay off my debts.

"Cough cough cough...."

Wu suppressed the itching in her throat and asked with a gasp, "Doctor Zheng, is my girl in danger? Do you want some medicine?"

A gentle male voice sighed, then shook his head. "He's recovered now, and doesn't need medication. But this time was too dangerous; the child almost died."

"When the child wakes up, sister-in-law should also talk to the child and never act on impulse again!"

Hearing Doctor Zheng's words, Mrs. Wu agreed repeatedly, rubbing her sleeves nervously with her calloused hands. "Doctor Zheng, look, this consultation fee..."

Doctor Zheng waved his hand and said, "We are all from the same village. It's no big deal if we just visit!" After that, he walked out the door.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wu hurried back to the house, got ten eggs and chased after him. Her family still owed Dr. Zheng medical expenses, and she felt embarrassed to always owe favors to others.

The voices outside the house gradually faded away, and Song Zhi, who had closed her eyes inside the house, slowly opened her eyes.

The first thing that catches your eye is the short and cramped yellow mud house and the mottled thatch on the roof.

Song Zhi looked at the scene in front of her in horror. Wasn't she driving out to relax?

Oh, yes, she remembered.

To avoid a cat that suddenly appeared on the mountain road, she drove her car into the river.

Could it be that I was rescued by someone?

But why am I in such a shabby house?

Song Zhi felt a surge of panic in her heart. She looked down at her hands, which were a pair of weathered hands.

What exactly is going on?

Before she could figure it out, a memory that did not belong to her flooded into her mind.

Song Zhi bent over in pain and subconsciously hugged her head.

By the time she finally accepted those memories and realized that she had traveled through time, she was already sweating coldly from the pain.

Song Zhi supported herself on the bed and struggled to sit up. She looked around the room, which was so shabby that it couldn't be any simpler, and felt sad.

She traveled through time and space to a dynasty called Dashun. Her original name was also Song Zhi and she was fourteen years old.

Three years ago, the imperial court recruited soldiers. The original father, Song Youlin, inherited his grandfather's hunting skills, and took the initiative to replace his uncle Song Youshan and go to the military camp to serve.

A month ago, bad news came from the front line. The camp where Song Youlin, who was about to return home after completing his service, was located was completely wiped out when they attacked the Turks deep behind enemy lines!

Today, when the original body came back from picking firewood, she overheard her aunt and grandmother suggesting that they should arrange a marriage for her during the funeral procession, otherwise if there was any delay, she would have to wait for three years.

But when the original body heard it, he felt that it had another meaning. Was the aunt-in-law planning to take action against their second wife?

The original person exploded on the spot and accused his aunt of being mean and ungrateful.

His father was the one who took on the responsibility when the imperial court was recruiting soldiers. Now that he heard that his father is gone, does he think that the second branch of the family is a burden?

Now they're marrying her off far away so they can control her siblings? In her rage, she even jumped into the river in protest!

Who would have thought that I would actually destroy myself!

Song Zhi couldn't help but sigh.

Regardless of whether my aunt really has this idea, with the original body making such a fuss, my uncle and aunt are probably bound to have another big quarrel.

In these three years, the uncle loved them more than his own son.

All the good things in the house were given to the three siblings first.

The original person accepted his uncle's kindness as a matter of course, while his aunt was always on guard and would make a big fuss if she was not satisfied.

The main reason for the original body's sensitive and strong personality is that the original body's mother died of complications during childbirth after the father served in the military, leaving behind an eight-year-old sister and a three-year-old brother.

Moreover, my younger brother was born prematurely and was already weak. I don’t know how much money he had spent over the years, which led to the family being heavily in debt and becoming penniless.

The most direct result is that my eldest cousin is already eighteen years old and still hasn't found a wife. Now people say that there is a sickly person in the Song family, which is a bottomless pit.

If you marry your daughter into this family, you will never have a good life in this life!

In addition, there was a gossipy woman in the village who often instigated the aunt-in-law to be partial to her own three children and said that she only had eyes for her own three children and could not tolerate the three of them.

The original girl was only in her teens, and she lost her father at a young age. She was sensitive and suspicious by nature.

As life becomes more and more difficult, one's personality becomes somewhat extreme and radical.

They were always on guard against their aunt, fearing that she would sell them out like the other aunts in the village!

Even when grandma advised her to get along well with her aunt, the little girl would not listen and just thought that grandma was biased towards the eldest wife.

Hearing today that her aunt-in-law wanted to marry her off was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The doubts and anxieties that were deeply rooted in the original body's heart burst out completely without any care.

The original body only wanted to threaten her with death, so her aunt-in-law would not force her to get married.

But what she did today was bound to provoke a big war, and even worse, it would cause her uncle and aunt to become estranged.

This was something she really didn't want to see in this family that was already on the verge of collapse.

Although the aunt-in-law didn't like her sisters, she was especially unfriendly to her.

At this time, Song Zhi could understand.

The original body was so wary of her aunt that she had become obsessed. She didn't allow her siblings to get close to the eldest wife, and she didn't allow the two children to play with their cousins.

From the aunt's perspective, even if she was partial to her own son, she had never deliberately withheld food from the three children over the years.

Not only that, her husband and eldest son also gave away all the money they earned from carrying bags. Not only was this person ungrateful, she also treated her like a thief.

How could she have a good face?

As a modern person and a 'bystander', Song Zhi sees it clearly.

With only three acres of land left from the sale, the family could only rely on the income from the ten acres of land they rented. After paying taxes and rent for the rented land, they could barely make ends meet by drinking porridge mixed with wild vegetables and wheat bran every day.

Now there is a younger brother in the family who is sick from time to time. The money earned by my uncle and cousin from working is not enough to cover the shortfall in medical expenses.

The family's foreign debt is getting bigger and bigger, and their lives are getting poorer and poorer.

If someone were to live a life without hope like this, they would have ended up getting divorced long ago. Who would endure such humiliation?

Thinking of this, Song Zhi couldn't help but sigh.

What should she do now?

Unable to escape reality, Song Zhi could only accept the current situation.

Although their father volunteered to serve in the military, their second branch now has such a heavy burden, and it all falls on the first branch, which is not a good thing.

As the eldest sister of the second wife, you should support the second wife!

In the original owner's memory, there were villagers coming to his house to collect debts yesterday.

It was only two hundred coins, but it had been owed for a whole year.

In this poor and backward mountain village, the villagers have a hard time. In the past three years, because my younger brother is weak and sickly, their family has borrowed money from every household in the village who can.

We can't owe this money anymore!

The most urgent task right now is to unite the family and make money to pay off debts!

Just as Song Zhi was thinking of a solution, the sound of a child crying was heard outside the door.
