Chapter 1: Traveling Through Time and Being Forced to Marry
"You little bitch, you're still pretending to be dead, why don't you get up? You lie there and won't get up after being touched. Are you waiting for maggots to grow? You're all waiting for me to serve you. I owe you..."
In a blue brick and tile house in Baijia Village, Liping County, in the Royal Dragon Dynasty, an old woman started yelling and cursing early in the morning.
Bai Siyu opened her eyes amidst the shouting and cursing, gazing at the sky above the rooftops. She could even count the birds flying overhead. Then, in despair, she closed her eyes again. Where is this? Has she been kidnapped? Something seems amiss. Outside this shabby house, there's a quarrel and constant shouting. Amidst the foul language, I can hear who's being cursed, and it seems like there's more than one person arguing. Looking at the furnishings and decorations, if she hasn't been kidnapped, what is this place? That's not right. The clothes I'm wearing... have I joined the time travel crowd and traveled through time? Listening to the shouting and cursing, it feels like someone's proposing marriage. And this place is so shabby. The earthen walls are riddled with holes in the roof, and this quilt is covered in pudding. What's in there? Why is it so hard? I touch it, looking at the holes. Oh my god, is this aged reed fluff? What's going on? Hey, don't they say other people who travel through time have memories? Why don't I have any? Besides, other people who traveled through time and space are either princesses, county ladies, or princess consorts. How come I'm just a pauper? Hello, host, system, hey, is there anyone here? Heaven may as well let you freeze to death, why did you send me to this place, and let me live? Well, since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it! Just thinking about it makes me feel depressed! Listen to what they're saying outside?
From now on! I can't be curious about everything anymore. Oh, my damn curiosity is killing me, cat! I just saw something that looked like a book, and it was quite quaint. It even said, "Help you resolve all your worries and fulfill your wishes." How did I end up here? I finally finished my internship and got a promotion and a raise! I just opened the box and took a look. Inside was an ancient Five Emperors coin and a silver ring. I just touched them, thinking they were some kind of antique. But I ended up in this godforsaken place. This Yulong Dynasty is unheard of in Xia. It must be a fictional dynasty. I don't know what happened to my grandma. She raised me all by herself, and before I could even honor her, I ended up here. Oh, I don't know if I'm dead or just disappeared in real life! I hope she's not too upset to hear this news. I still have some savings. Even if she doesn't see other patients, she can still support herself in her old age! Luckily, I haven't given up the medical skills my grandmother taught me. Back in the city where I work, I help people with difficult and complicated illnesses and charge a small fee. I've earned some money. Otherwise, I'd be relying on the 3,000 to 5,000 yuan I earned from internship, and after spending it all, there wouldn't be much left. How will my grandmother live as she gets older? Oh, how did I travel through time? What's the principle behind this...
Meanwhile, Old Lady Li was still cursing while Bai Dashu, Lan Niang, and the children all knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.
Don't think that you're done pretending to be dead. I'm telling you, even if you die, even if it's a ghost marriage, you still have to go. Your family must pay me this money. Even if you die, you have to marry me. "Old lady Li rushed into the room and pulled away the tattered reed quilt that was covering her. Bai Siyu looked up. Who is this person? She was the one who just yelled at him! Could it be that the person who just yelled at me? Look at the old lady's face again. Her face is so sunken and she looks like a mean person. Siyu raised his hand to cover his head which was splitting with pain. He looked at the slender little hand. Before he could even look at the appearance of this small body, his eyes rolled back and he fainted again. In his dream, he saw the little girl using her thin shoulders to do the work of an adult man. He watched a large family bullying their family. In the family, only the second uncle's family was good to the fourth room. But the second uncle's family lived in the county and seldom came back. As the saying goes, the emperor loves the eldest son and the people love the youngest son. But little Siyu's father was the youngest in the family, but he was the least favored. The reason was very simple. It was because little Siyu's father and second aunt were twins, a boy and a girl. It was originally a good omen. Dragon and phoenix make a good omen. But second aunt was born first and father was born later. And when grandma gave birth to little Siyu's father, she had difficulty in labor. A passing fortune teller predicted that the family would produce a lucky star and a literary star, a person of great fortune. Meanwhile, there was also a star of misfortune that would bring disaster to all relatives. Grandma, therefore, assumed that Dashu was the unlucky star, otherwise why would he have nearly lost his life at birth? From then on, whenever Grandpa was away, she treated Dashu harshly, a child hated by his own mother since birth. While Dashu had his father to protect him, Grandma Li dared not be so blatant. However, this began to change between the ages of eight and thirteen, when three of his beloved relatives died one after another. Grandma Li then intensified her cruelty, forcing Dashu to do all the housework and denying him adequate food until he died.
Since grandpa passed away, grandma has become the one who has the final say in the family. Dad is already 21 years old, but grandma has never thought about getting him a wife and having children. At the age of 15 or 16, when people usually get married, dad is already an older young man. It was when dad went into the mountains to hunt that he rescued my mother. My mother had hit her head and lost her memory, and she didn’t know where her home was. When grandma saw what my mother was wearing and thought she must be a lady from a wealthy family, she waited until her family was found and asked for some reward. After all, this was a life-saving favor! However, the good times did not last long. At the beginning, he was recovering from his injuries and everything was fine. But when he saw that no one came to look for his mother, he thought she must be an orphan with few relatives, otherwise no one would have come to look for her for so long. So they pawned the valuables on her body, stopped being friendly to him, and even thought about selling it. Fortunately, he was stopped by the villagers. During the period of recovery, my father was also very good to my mother, so they gradually developed a good impression of each other. My grandmother thought that since she didn't have to spend any money and could pick up a wife for free, and she didn't have to ruin her reputation, it would be a good opportunity for the orphan to marry the fourth son, so my father married my mother.
Bai Dashu, who had a wife, thought, mother still cares about me and loves me. Otherwise, how could she know that I like Lan Niang and let me marry her? If the old lady didn't just want to make a good name and not spend money to pick up a wife, she wouldn't want to marry him. Marrying her to eat free meals, and having children in the future, you have to raise them. The money earned by the fourth brother from hunting has to support a useless family, so there is a perfect misunderstanding. Lan Niang's real name is not Lan Niang, but when the uncle picked her up in the mountains, there was an orchid next to her. And because he lost his memory, he temporarily named her Lan Niang.
After the marriage, Dashu became more filial to his mother and obeyed her every word because Bai Li asked him to marry the person he wanted to marry. However, grandma still looked down on their fourth family. Grandma liked the eldest uncle, the third uncle and the youngest aunt the most because the eldest uncle was the eldest in the family and inherited the family business, carried on the family line, and would provide for the old couple in their old age and death in the future. The third uncle was still studying and a scholar, so the old woman always treated him as the Wenquxing mentioned by the fortune teller, and gave him whatever he wanted, even to the point of listening to and complying with his every word. Recently, the third uncle was going to take the exam for a scholar, and needed to be taken care of. He also needed to make a satin suit and pay for transportation and accommodation, saying that he could not lose face in front of his classmates. So Bai Li set her sights on Xiao Siyu and wanted to marry him to an old and ugly widower who had three children. The oldest was five years older than Siyu. His family gave a large betrothal gift, 60 taels of silver, so Xiao Siyu's grandma was tempted. Despite the objections of Xiao Siyu and her parents, she wanted to marry him to the old widower. Old Lady Li also said that it was his honor to do something for the family. If your uncle passed the imperial examination and became a high-ranking official in the future, he would also be able to support him in his husband's family.
It was because of this that Xiao Siyu's father disagreed. The old lady felt that Xiao Siyu and his family were ignorant and delayed the third uncle's examination for the scholar. The eldest aunt Lin was also fanning the flames and said, "I am talking about the fourth brother's family. I am not saying anything bad about you. The landlord Huang's family has hundreds of acres of fertile land, a shop, and a maid named Xiao Si to serve. She is just a little older than Siyu, but she is very caring! When the landlord Huang dies in the future, the house will all be yours." The third aunt Li also said, "Siyu, if you marry him, you won't have to feed pigs and chickens every day and do so much work. Wouldn't it be good to be a young lady?" Wearing silk and satin, eating fine rice and noodles, fish and meat, and even living a life of servants, I envy them so much. It’s better than you at home, right? Xiao Siyu said timidly, “I don’t want to get married. I’m still young. I have to take care of my younger brothers and sisters, my father and my mother.” The old lady was really anxious. “You little bitch, we picked a good in-law family for you with good intentions, but you don’t know how to be kind. I think you are going to rebel. You actually dare to disobey your grandmother.”
And the more Bai Li thought about her eldest and third daughters-in-law, the more she felt that she was right. She found such a good family for him, but he was not grateful and even refused to agree. I will beat this family of debt collectors to death. Bitch, little whore. So the old woman cursed and picked up the hoe at the door to beat Xiao Siyu's mother, cursing non-stop. You black-hearted person, if my son hadn't picked you up, you would still be alive. How dare you disobey me? And this little bitch you gave birth to. I found such a good marriage for him, but he actually refused to agree. Your family is singing against me. And you, little whore, actually led my son astray. Give my son back to me. You, vixen, led my obedient son astray, unfilial son, I will beat you to death. You were born to collect debts to irritate me. And outside the yard, some nosy villagers gathered, pointing fingers at the yard. The village's big mouths, Old Lady Wang and Mrs. Liu, asked the villagers next to them what was going on. Why are they fighting again? Usually, this old woman looks down on the fourth brother's family. Why is she fighting again today? The villagers next to her explained, "We just came back from the fields and heard that Yu Yatou is going to find a husband. It seems that the husband is from the Huang landlord in Hebei Village." The villagers talked about it and said, "Oh, this is a sin. How old is the Huang landlord? He is older than his father and almost as old as his grandfather. What is this old woman thinking? She actually found such a man for her own granddaughter?" Mrs. Li in the crowd shouted loudly, "Hey, Bai Li, do you have any conscience? Why don't you let your little girl marry him? You actually let your granddaughter go." Bai Li cursed and replied to Mrs. Li, "My family's affairs have nothing to do with you. I discipline my granddaughter, what do you care? How can my daughter marry an old widower like him? He is old, ugly, and has several children. My daughter will be an official's wife in the future..."
Bai Li had already arrived in front of the fourth family, hoe in hand. As she watched the old woman's hoe headed towards her mother, little Siyu rushed forward in a panic, shielding her mother with her eleven-year-old body. The old woman's hoe struck little Siyu squarely on the head. Seeing the hoe injure someone and the blood on little Siyu's head, the old woman threw the hoe at him in fear, muttering, "Don't blame me, don't blame me. He bumped into me himself." Eldest aunt Lin continued, "Fourth sister, look at how you raised your child! Why did he, a child, run up to an adult when they were talking? Look, he scared our mother and even bumped his head. How unlucky!" Third aunt Li was also there, saying, "Siyu isn't a child anymore. How can she be so ignorant at eleven?" "Fourth sister, how did you raise your child?" How disrespectful to elders, how dare they disrespect their own grandmother. Everyone was still talking at once. At this time, Siyu's parents had no intention of listening to what they were saying. They just hugged little Siyu and cried and shouted for a doctor. Old Mrs. Li was also afraid that someone would die, so she asked Bai Shuya, the second daughter of the third house, to get a doctor. But Bai Shuya complained as she walked, "This damn girl is just looking for trouble. If you want to die, do it quickly. I won't go to get a doctor quickly. Let him bleed to death." So she walked slowly towards Doctor Wang,
Chapter 2 Su Xing proposes a split
Here, little Siyu had fainted due to excessive blood loss. Dashu and Lan Niang carried little Siyu back to their small shabby thatched house and put her on the bed. Lan Niang had to cover the wound with a piece of cloth, crying sadly and anxiously waiting for the arrival of Doctor Wang. But all the family members pretended not to see it. Old Lady Li, eldest aunt Lin, and third aunt Li all hid in the old lady's room, discussing whether she would be beaten to death, whether she would be involved in a life or go to jail. The eldest aunt said beside her, "It's okay, you didn't mean it, she just rushed up on her own." Third Auntie said it wouldn't matter if she died. It just so happened that Third Brother had come back last time to tell him that a young man had died after falling into a river. The family couldn't bear to see him alone at such a young age, so they wanted to find him a girl with auspicious horoscopes. Siyu's horoscope and birth time were both good, perfect for a ghost marriage. If this little bitch died, they'd arrange a ghost marriage for her and even get 150 taels of silver. Third Auntie Li was the old lady's cousin, so she treated her better than any other daughter-in-law. Even the eldest auntie, the eldest daughter-in-law, had to give her some courtesy. The eldest auntie grumbled to herself as she listened to Third Auntie's words. "This woman is really cruel! I have to keep my distance from her from now on, or she'll be sold off one day without me even knowing." The old lady, however, was delighted, thinking, "150 taels of silver! It's enough to buy my third son and my daughter some nice clothes, help him prepare for the imperial examination, feed him well, give my eldest grandson a salary, and make my eldest son some new clothes so he can look good when he takes up his post at the government office!" Xiao Siyu was also the old lady's granddaughter. He had calculated all her value clearly and wanted to squeeze her dry. The old lady had never considered whether Xiao Siyu would wake up or not. Because in the old lady's mind, he had shed so much blood, it was a foregone conclusion that he would not survive. So the 15 taels of silver was already in his hands, so he arranged its whereabouts...
