Traveling through time and space

Lu Yuanyuan, a retired soldier, opened her eyes. Where was she? This feeling? Why did everything around her feel so unfamiliar? She thought for a moment, but a splitting headache came over her. Curses filled her ears. Unsure of what was going on, she decided to close her eyes for a moment, play dumb, and see what was going on. The room looked a bit sparse, and she wondered if she was on a film set. That couldn't be right. She'd been in the lab since lunch, observing the grain patterns of medicinal herbs under a microscope. How could she suddenly be here, in such an unfamiliar place? Or had she lost her memory? What had she missed? Something strange happened. When I lay down, I found that my whole body was in pain, as if I had just been run over by a truck. There was really no place that didn't hurt. But when I moved my arms and legs carefully, they were all connected, not broken, but they were all painful. My head hurt even more. I listened for a while, but there was no sound. I opened my eyes carefully again and turned my head to look at everything around me. What is this? Why did I feel okay just now? The fixtures in the room are too ordinary. The original color of these woods can't be seen. They are tattered. How could this be? This anxiety made my head hurt even more. Then memories that did not belong to me came to my mind. The original owner, female, 13 years old, the daughter-in-law of Du Bennian's family in Dujia Xiaowan, that is, the daughter-in-law, Du Bennian, the head of the Du family, has six daughters, namely Du Yuemei, Du Yuelan, Du Yuezhu, Du Yueju, Du Yuehe, and Du Yuehua. The only son is Du Yujin, the sixth child, who is also her husband. This Du Yujin carries all the hopes of the Du family. He grew up in a honey pot. It is said that he has been studying in Yuexian Academy in the town. However, for so many years, he has not even passed the examination to become a tongsheng. At the age of fifteen, he had a fight with his classmates and broke his leg. He said that he could no longer take the imperial examination. He made trouble for his parents at home. He wanted to join the army at the age of 16 and really went at the age of 17. After joining the army, he has been living peacefully these years, and there have been letters sent back. Last year, he sent a letter saying that he had suffered a minor injury again, and would come back to take care of his parents when he recovered. Du Chu wanted to find a wife for his son this year, so that he could consummate the marriage when he came back. The original Liu Yuanyuan caught their eyes. Liu Yuanyuan had no father or mother, no brothers or sisters, and was just a bald person. Her uncle and aunt decided to marry her to the Du family. It was said to be a marriage, but in fact it was a sale. She severed her relationship with the Liu family for twenty taels of silver. From then on, the life and death of the original Liu Yuanyuan had nothing to do with the Liu family. When her son returned home, Liu Yuanyuan would also be of age, and it would be a good time to consummate the marriage and expand the Du family. But the day before yesterday, the new daughter-in-law Just after the wedding with the rooster, the Du family received news from the military camp yesterday that their son Du Yujin, the darling of the Du family and Liu Yuanyuan's newlywed husband was dead, and his body was not even found. It was said that he fell off a cliff, which was hundreds of feet high. In any case, if he fell, he would definitely die. Naturally, Liu Yuanyuan, the unlucky woman, did not have a good end. She became the sinner of the Du family, the target of public criticism, and the object of insults and beatings by the Du family. So many women in the Du family, young and old, beat them up. In short, the Du family said that it was Liu Yuanyuan, the unlucky woman, who killed their only son.

"Wife, that bitch is awake, she is not dead," with a sharp voice, Lu Yuanyuan, not Liu Yuanyuan, also woke up completely. The most urgent thing at the moment was to save her own life first. She was only thinking about the core replacement and forgot about her own danger.

"What? She's not dead yet. I want her dead. She can follow my son and have a ghost marriage in the underworld. She's the wife my son married in a formal ceremony." With the noise outside, a group of people rushed into the small room, filling it up in an instant. "You little whore, why don't you just follow your husband to death? You're such a tough whore. You killed your father, your mother, and now you've killed your husband too. How dare you live like this?" As the voices came in, Liu Yuanyuan, who was lying down, had her hair pulled. She had to sit up despite the pain. The one pulling her hair was her so-called mother-in-law, Du Chu, who looked ferocious. Looking closely, most of the Du family's female generals were in the room. Lu Yuanyuan quickly thought of a response plan. She couldn't die here quietly. She had to show weakness first.

"Mother-in-law, please put your hands down first and don't tire yourself out." Liu Yuanyuan begged.

Everyone in the room fell silent. It might be because of Liu Yuanyuan's words, because the Du family tortured her for a whole day yesterday, and she didn't say a word, so the Du family thought they bought a mute.

"Mom, she is not mute." They seemed to be very interested in Liu Yuanyuan speaking.

"You're the mute one, your whole family is mute," Lu Yuanyuan cursed inwardly. She knew these were all Du Chu's daughters, and of course, her niece. The one who reported that she was not dead was Zhu Xiaoxiao, the eldest daughter Du Yuemei's daughter. Lu Yuanyuan was finally free, but this freedom meant being able to move her own body. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Liu Yuanyuan stumbled out of bed, finally standing firmly after a long time. "Mother-in-law, can your daughter-in-law leave this door and go to the toilet?" Liu Yuanyuan asked cautiously.

"Mom, let her go. Look, look, she has made this room like a pigsty. It stinks." Someone covered her nose in disgust and walked out of the room. Liu Yuanyuan knew that this was Du Yuehua, the youngest daughter of the Du family. She was engaged to the Zhang family in Dujia Dayuan. Zhang Taiqing of the Zhang family was a student, so all the manners of Du Yuehua were imitated from the ladies of the city. Of course, because of her husband's family, she was also very much loved by her sisters in the Du family. She claimed that she was superior to everyone else.

"Second girl, third girl, follow her," Old Mrs. Du gave an order, and someone came up to pull Liu Yuanyuan.

"Two sisters, please be gentle. It hurts so much." Liu Yuanyuan thought. She should get out of the door first and then attract other people's attention. That way, her personal safety should be guaranteed. No matter how bold the Du family is, they dare not take people's lives lightly. There are many neighbors on both sides of the Du family. It is said that the headman's house is on the right side of the Du family's courtyard. Liu Yuanyuan was secretly worried that she still had a chance to escape. Finally, she was carried out of the small house. When she reached the yard, Liu Yuanyuan seized the opportunity, shook off the two people who were pulling her, and rushed to the yard. In the middle of the night, he tried his best to howl loudly, "Help! The Du family is taking human life lightly and is going to kill people! Help! People are dying! Is there still any law? Is there anyone who cares?" This thin and sharp voice cut through the silence. Liu Yuanyuan looked around. It was now high in the sky, and it should be noon. He could also smell the fragrance of rice. Liu Yuanyuan tried hard to lie on the ground and not let anyone pull him up. However, his frail body could not withstand the pull of the two people on his left and right. He could only struggle desperately, shouting, "Murder! The Du family is going to kill people!"

Fortunately, people appeared on the walls on both sides at the same time, holding up the house, and the closed gate was pushed open. "Old Du, are you trying to harass your daughter-in-law again?"

"Brother Chunri, this daughter-in-law was married to us by our Du family with money and formal marriage. She should be buried with my son." Du Chushi said this shamelessly.

"Uncle, please, please save my daughter's life. The matter of the young master of the Du family has nothing to do with me." When you are under the eaves, you have to bow your head. Liu Yuanyuan turned around, knelt down quickly, and kowtowed to the person who was speaking. The sound was very loud and very strong. After a few times, she felt blood. But now is not the time to feel sorry for herself. She had to play the victim. The blood and tears made her eyes blurry. "Please, please save my daughter's life. They are going to beat her to death."

"Old Du's family, it's true that she is your daughter-in-law, but you can't take her life."

"Yes, she just married into your family, but she didn't sell her life to your family."

"Why not? The life and death of the wife you marry is up to you."

"Mr. Li, what nonsense are you talking about? You've taken someone's life, and that's against the law. You should go to jail."

"Aunt Li, it's not just jail time, it's life for the family," the person on the right chimed in. "Sister-in-law Du, your family wants to beat your daughter-in-law to death. Who are you going to pay for it? You, or Old Du? Your son is dead, and you say you're not going to live anymore. Why don't you all go and accompany your son? He's the apple of your eye."

"Grandma," someone muttered in a low voice.

"Mom, our family can't break the law again because of this little bitch."

"Yes, mother,"

"Yes, mother."

"No, this little whore cannot be sent back to her aunt's house in front of me. I will get the twenty taels of silver back."

"Mom, those two bastards from the Liu family won't accept me. Besides, the Du and Liu families have signed a severance agreement."

"Mom, just give her to Guozhi as a concubine. My daughter hasn't been able to give birth to a boy in all these years."

"Mother, this little whore is one year younger than my daughter."

"It's okay. She can work anyway. Mother, I can only give her ten taels of silver. She's too ugly."

"Sister, being ugly is nothing to worry about, as long as you can give birth to children, that's all that matters."

Liu Yuanyuan, who was kneeling on the ground, was a little confused. Why, she was going to be someone else's concubine again? No, she would rather die than live. She looked around and saw a hoe used by the Du family to do housework. Forget it, it was her fate. She might as well die than be someone else's concubine. She quickly stood up and grabbed the hoe. "Old woman, I will never let others humiliate me even if I die. Remember, you forced me to death. I hope you will never have peace in your life. Dad, Mom, I am an unfilial daughter and I am going to give up this chance to live." Liu Yuanyuan was determined to die.

"Girl Liu, you can't die here. If you die here, our Dujia Xiaowan will have a bad reputation." The person next door suddenly threw the bowl in his hand over, splashing Liu Yuanyuan with debris.
