The wife of two taels of silver

Lin Haitang clearly remembered that when she got home from get off work, she forced herself to take a shower and fell asleep. How come she woke up to find herself back in such a quaint little house?

Lin Haitang suddenly felt an unbearable pain in her head. She groaned uncontrollably, and a memory that did not belong to her flooded into her mind, making Lin Haitang understand the whole story.

She is now Lin Haitang, but not the original "Lin Haitang." She is the Lin Haitang of the 21st century, but the body she now occupies is the "Lin Haitang" of the Kang Dynasty, a dynasty that did not exist in history. She has traveled through time.

From another perspective, the 21st century Lin Haitang died suddenly after working overtime for a week and not eating or drinking for 18 hours. He became the Lin Haitang of the Kang Dynasty.

The pain gradually subsided, and Lin Haitang began to slowly digest the memories of the past 20 years that did not belong to her.

Lin Haitang was troubled to discover that this body wasn't very old, only twenty-three, yet she had a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, who were almost four years old. Furthermore, her original body didn't seem to care much for the children. She couldn't really say she cared for them, but she just kept them from starving to death.

The child's father had joined the army and had been home for over a month during the Lunar New Year holiday last year. It was already the end of February, and in three days it would be March. Lin Haitang remembered that "her" husband's name was Gu An.

"Lin Haitang" doesn't like Gu An, and doesn't like the children either. Ever since the original mother-in-law passed away, the two children haven't had a good life. It was only during the Chinese New Year some time ago that Gu An came back and the two children had a good life. But as soon as Gu An left, everything returned to the way it was before.

Gu An was originally a scholar, but later his house caught fire and Gu An's face was ruined. The small half of his left face was covered with ugly and scary scars. He had to wear a mask when appearing in public all year round. It was also from then on that Gu An's mood became unpredictable. He went from being the envied Wenquxing to the evil spirit. Gu An's mother had no choice but to find a marriage for her son who could not find a wife, and that was Lin Haitang.

The original body of Lin Haitang was pretty but a little stupid, so Gu An's mother used two taels of silver to marry Lin Haitang; Lin Haitang's mother also coveted the two taels of silver, so she let her daughter marry him directly, and the so-called dowry was just a few of Lin Haitang's old clothes.

Gu An also looked down on Lin Haitang, but it was hard to disobey his parents' orders. He had resisted, but to no avail.

In the first month after Lin Haitang got married, Gu An never slept in the same bed with her. Later, his mother threatened to commit suicide, and Lin Haitang became pregnant, and she was pregnant with two children at once.

When the child was two years old, Gu An joined the army; when the child was three years old, his grandmother passed away, and the painful moments for the two children began.

In the past, I had a mother-in-law who was putting pressure on me. No matter how much I disliked the child, I didn't dare to show it. Besides, the child's grandmother treated the child very well, so I couldn't notice anything. After Gu An and the mother-in-law were gone, there was no one at home, and no one took care of me. The child's life became worse day by day.

Lin Haitang cleared her mind, feeling a bit disheartened. A once-young woman had become the mother of two children. She had now taken over the original body, so if anything, these children could be considered her own.

Even more despairing was the fact that this family was truly impoverished. Originally, with the pressure of her mother-in-law, her family wasn't too impudent, only taking a small share. Once her mother-in-law passed away, and with Gu An away, her family had taken away most of the family's money, leaving her with only a few coins to keep her from starving to death.

Fortunately, the original body was not so stupid. This time, when Gu An came back, he gave the original body ten taels of silver before returning to the army. The original body had experience and secretly hid five taels of silver for herself and told her mother that Gu An only left five taels of silver.

Five taels of silver was definitely a lot of money in the countryside, enough for a family to live frugally for a year. Wu Cailing, the original body's mother, showed no concern for her daughter. She took all the five taels of silver that the original body, Lin Haitang, had mentioned, and didn't care what her daughter and two grandchildren ate or drank.

Lin Haitang was both troubled and relieved. Although the original person had secretly left five taels of silver, he was afraid that Wu Cailing would find out and he never dared to spend it. This also left Lin Haitang with a little inheritance, so that she would not be in a difficult situation.

"Wow--!" Suddenly, a little girl's cry was heard. Lin Haitang quickly got up and walked out. She saw a thinly dressed little girl being pushed down at the gate, and a boy was fighting with four or five other children.

"Oh oh oh, Gu Mo, Gu Zhilan, your mother is a fool, and you two are fools too, oh oh oh, two fools without a father or a mother to take care of you." Hearing this, Gu Mo's eyes turned red, and he yelled to beat up the four or five children. But there were too many people on the other side, and he couldn't beat them, and his sister was pushed down.

Gu Mo also had bruises on his face, but he still rushed forward yelling, beating anyone he caught, regardless of who hit him, and beating whoever he caught.

Lin Haitang was shocked when she saw this. She ran over, picked up the little girl and hugged her, "What are you doing! Let go! Get out of here!" Lin Haitang pulled Gu Mo out who was surrounded. Looking at Gu Mo's purple face, she couldn't help but kick those bastard kids a few times.

"What are you doing, Lin the fool? You kicked me!" "I'm going to tell my mom!" "I'm going to tell my dad and have him beat you up!" The children cried and shouted at once, and were about to run out.

"Go tell them! I tell you, if you dare to bully my son and daughter again, I will beat you every time I see you!" Lin Haitang hugged the two children, her face flushed with anger.

"Momo, Lanlan, are you okay?" Lin Haitang twisted the two children and looked left and right.

These were twins born after ten months of pregnancy by the original body, Lin Haitang. 21st century Lin Haitang had mixed feelings towards them. She knew how difficult it was for the original body to conceive them, how difficult it was to give birth to them, and how hard the children had been living in the past two years.

Now she has become Lin Haitang of the Kang Dynasty. She has inherited all the memories of the original Lin Haitang, so Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan are her biological children, and she is their biological mother.

Gu Mo bit his lip, tears instantly fell from his red eyes, and Gu Zhilan burst into tears.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry, Lanlan, don't cry. Mother has already chased them away. Next time they come, mother will beat them again. Lanlan, don't cry." Lin Haitang used her sleeves to wipe Gu Zhilan's tears. Unexpectedly, the more she talked, the louder Gu Zhilan cried. Lin Haitang had no choice but to pick Gu Zhilan up and comfort her.

"Lanlan, don't cry, Lanlan, don't cry, mommy will comfort you, don't cry, don't cry, are you cold? Come on, let's go inside." Lin Haitang hugged her daughter and patted her. She touched her daughter's little hand and found that Gu Zhilan's hand was cold. Lin Haitang stretched out a hand and handed it to her son: "Momo, let's go inside."

Gu Mo looked at her without saying a word, but tears kept falling. He looked at Lin Haitang's hand. He didn't know how long it had been since he had looked at his mother's hand so carefully. He put his hand on it and followed Lin Haitang back into the house.
