"Grandma! Look! My sister is still alive! I just saw her hands move!"

The child's cry was like a sharp sword, breaking through the black fog and completely pulling Cheng Yuntao out of nothingness.

She suddenly opened her eyes and sat up straight, the thin layer of dirt covering the straw mat falling to the side as she moved.

Pale face, chapped lips, messy hair... The grandfather and grandson standing in front were frightened when they saw this scene and fell to the ground.

You looked at me, I looked at you, no one dared to speak first, and the scene fell into an eerie silence.

Cheng Yuntao is a wandering soul from another world. Because of her obsession, she was chosen by the system and sent to the Daqi Dynasty that exists in a parallel time and space to help the original owner of this world fulfill his regrets.

As a reward, the system gave her gourmet skills and a portable farm that matched her identity in this world to help her live a better life in this world.

The original owner had the same name and surname as her, also called Cheng Yuntao, but she was much younger, only fourteen years old, and her family situation was very complicated.

A mother who died early in childbirth, a father who was addicted to gambling, an elderly and sick grandmother, and ignorant siblings... It was a standard version of a disaster.

The original owner was bitten to death by a poisonous snake while collecting herbs in the mountains yesterday. When he was found by his family, his lips had already turned black and purple and he was dead.

The other party had three wishes: 1. To provide for his grandmother until her death; 2. To raise his younger siblings; 3. To have his own business.

After understanding the situation, Cheng Yuntao said that there was no problem at all. Since she came to this world, she would take the initiative to assume her own responsibilities.

Coming back to her senses, Cheng Yuntao carefully looked at the grandparents and grandchildren in front of her. These should be her grandmother and younger brother.

She also has a younger sister who was taken away by her gambler father to pay off his gambling debts a few days ago and sent to the next village to be a child bride. Thinking of this, Cheng Yuntao's face suddenly became even uglier.

"Yun Tao? My dear, are you really still alive?"

"I thought it was your brother who saw it wrongly and tried to scare me, an old woman."

Although Cheng Yuntao's face was pale and he didn't say a word, his eyes were bright and there were obvious shadows on his side. They were not ghosts, but real living people.

Zhou Xiufang supported her old waist and took a few trembling steps forward. She stretched out her old hand and gently stroked the top of Cheng Yuntao's head.

Cheng Jingzhu, who was standing aside, immediately rushed over, nestled in Cheng Yuntao's arms, hugged her neck, pursed his lips and shed tears.

"Wow... Sister, you're still alive! That's great! That's great... Hiccup..." Because he was too excited, his voice trembled and he hiccuped several times.

Feeling the care of her relatives, Cheng Yuntao's eyes turned slightly red and her heart was deeply moved. She shook off the dirt on her hands, hugged her brother with one hand, held her grandmother's hand with the other, and comforted her earnestly.

"I'm fine, I'm still alive, you still need me, I won't leave so easily."

"When I bring my sister back, we can be reunited as a family and live together happily."

When she mentioned Cheng Yueli who had left home, a look of loneliness flashed across the faces of both the grandmother and granddaughter. The grandmother sighed helplessly.

"Yun Tao, I know you can't bear to leave Xiao Li, but...but your father sent her to the home of a bully in the next village. How can we rescue her with just a few of us?"

Cheng Yuntao lowered her eyes and looked at her brother nestled in her arms. The image of her sister Xiaoli crying heart-wrenchingly when she was kidnapped emerged in her mind.

"Grandma, no matter what method I use, I must rescue her. I can't just watch my sister suffer in the bully's house!"

Zhou Xiufang looked at her eldest granddaughter in front of her, and intuitively felt that something had changed, but her granddaughter had finally come back to life, so she didn't dare to think about it any further.

"Okay, okay, Yuntao has grown up, become sensible, and has her own plans."

"No matter what you do, grandma supports you."

Now it was Cheng Yuntao's turn to be surprised. She didn't expect that the old lady would be so loving and tolerant towards her granddaughter.

"I support my sister too! We must rescue our sister!" Cheng Jingzhu on the side was not to be outdone. He clenched his little fist with a determined look on his face.

At this moment, Cheng Yuntao has become the backbone of the entire family, and both the grandparents and grandchildren are willing to believe in her and support her.

Cheng Yuntao, who was originally a little timid, became more and more confident. Now that she was here, she knew that no matter how bad her life was, she had the ability to live a good life!

"Grandma, do the villagers know that I was bitten to death by a poisonous snake?" Cheng Yuntao put down her brother in her arms and stood up by the solid earthen ridge beside her.

"I know. Yesterday you went up the mountain to collect herbs and didn't come back for a long time. Your brother and I were very worried, so we quickly sent people up the mountain to look for you."

"In the end, it was the sharp-eyed young men of the village who found you in the grass at the bottom of the mountain. Unfortunately, you were already cold and lifeless by then."

Recalling the shocking scene of yesterday, Zhou Xiufang was still frightened and couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her chest.

Hearing this, Cheng Yuntao immediately had a plan in mind: "In that case, there is no need to let anyone know that I woke up. I have to keep this matter secret."

Zhou Xiufang looked puzzled, not knowing what her granddaughter was planning.

"Why is that? Everyone has been quite considerate of us on a daily basis, and they even put in a lot of effort to find you yesterday."

"Since you've woken up now, you should tell the villagers about this good news."

Cheng Yuntao knew what her grandmother was thinking, but she thought that not saying anything at the moment was the best option.

"Grandma, people in this world are so superstitious. Seeing a resurrected person like me, they're probably more afraid than surprised. What if they think I'm some kind of wild monster and want to burn me to death?"

"This……"

When Zhou Xiufang heard this, her face turned pale, as if she had already seen her granddaughter being hung on the fire, and her eyes showed fear and helplessness.

"Besides, my father originally wanted to send me to a bully's family to pay off his debts. But later, because I was older and could not only take care of the housework but also go up the mountain to collect herbs for money, he changed his mind and pushed my sister out."

"But with my father's gambling habit, this kind of thing is bound to happen again. Since I'm already dead in the secular sense, why not confirm this identity and prevent my father, who has ulterior motives, from doing anything wrong again?"

Thinking of her son who was addicted to gambling, Zhou Xiufang's already old body became even more hunched.

"You're right. Your father has a terrible character. If he knew you were still alive, he would definitely come and make trouble again."

"What a misfortune for our family, how could we have such a son..."

Cheng Yuntao sighed in her heart, fortunately her grandmother was a sensible person and would not blindly favor that rotten father.

"That's right. Less trouble is worse than more. Sometimes, the identity of a living person is not necessarily more useful than that of a dead person..."

Cheng Yuntao looked up into the distance, looking at the undulating roofs at the foot of the mountain, and sighed.
