After crossing over: kidnapping a female hunter to be the stepfather of the three cubs
Chapter 1 How did I become a stepmother?
"Lu! Get out of here! You ate too much and had nowhere to poop, so you came to my chicken coop to steal chickens! You're so broke! My hens are only a little over a month old! Lu! Pay me!"
What's going on? Who's yelling? How uncultured! Why wouldn't anyone be quiet so early in the morning? Finally having a day off, and you're going to her house and making a fuss? How annoying!
Zhao Huanxi finally finished a big project last night. After finishing the social event, he went home and fell asleep on the bed. How come there was a quarrel so early in the morning?
I was just thinking of checking what was going on... Where did my silk pajamas go? Why do they sting so much? They're not her clothes. What's going on? Was I kidnapped?
Unfortunately, the sound outside the door did not give her any more time to think. The sound of shouting and cursing accompanied by the banging of the door left her no time to explore the material of her clothes. She frowned and opened her eyes, and the scene she saw shocked her.
"What is this place, what's going on...
This is a slum somewhere. The whole room is dark and there is no light. On the left is a wooden bed that looks like it will collapse if you sit on it. On it are two black quilts made of some material.
On the right hand side is a brown and black three-drawer dressing table, which looks somewhat decent, but unfortunately the top drawers seem to have been violently destroyed, and the things inside are lying all over the floor.
Two wooden boxes in the middle were opened in the same way, revealing the entire mess in the room.
As for the roof, it is made of layers of thatch, and a few straws fall off from time to time. It can be seen that the owner of this house has not repaired the house for a long time.
Zhao Huanxi was about to get up from the ground when she thought to herself: I didn’t lie on the ground all night, did I?
She looked down at her clothes. She was wearing a coarse linen dress of unknown style with patches of various sizes on it. The dress was also a little loose on her.
"Was I really abducted? Why don't I have any memory of it..."
Before he could finish his words, his head exploded with a loud bang. A layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on Zhao Huanxi's forehead. He felt a splitting headache, followed by a period of dizziness. Zhao Huanxi also understood what was happening to him.
The shouting and cursing outside the door was still going on. She ignored her headache and stumbled open the rickety wooden door and walked to the middle of the yard.
A woman was standing at the door, pointing at the gate and cursing. She was holding a basket filled with rotten vegetable leaves and pretending to throw them in. When she saw Zhao Huanxi coming out, the woman stopped what she was doing and looked at him awkwardly.
"What's the matter, sister-in-law Xiang? Who stole your chicken? Point it out to me and I'll give you something else to pay for it." After saying this, he walked to the door and opened the bolt.
Sister-in-law Xiang was a little surprised that Mr. Lu didn't come out, but instead asked a newly married young wife to answer the door. She suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Hearing Zhao Huanxi say this, she wasn't afraid and stood at the door and shouted, "Your boy Lu is always looking for work but he doesn't do it. My wife caught him stealing my chickens this morning. She caught him in the act and let him run away. I'm coming to him to seek justice for my chickens!"
When Zhao Huanxi heard her sister-in-law say this, she felt so embarrassed, because the boy Lu she was talking about was none other than her husband, whom she had been married to for less than half a year.
Moreover, she herself was a second wife. This man had a previous wife who died of a serious illness, leaving behind several children to make a living under the Lu family.
Half a year ago, they offered a pig as betrothal gift and five taels of silver as a betrothal gift, and the Zhao family married Zhao Huanxi to the widower named Lu as his second wife.
Thinking of this, Zhao Huanxi took Sister Xiang's hand and wiped away the non-existent tears in her eyes. She said aggrievedly, "I'm sorry, Sister Xiang. My husband is not a good person. I can't pretend I didn't see it. Please wait for me."
Before he finished speaking, he turned back to the room and rummaged through the black wooden bed. He picked up something and turned to go out. He quickly walked to where Sister-in-law Xiang was standing at the door, took Sister-in-law Xiang's hand and handed her the ten copper coins in his hand.
These ten copper coins were the life-saving money saved by the original owner. Although not much, they were her last belongings.
Before Sister-in-law Xiang could react, her attention was diverted by the copper coin in her hand. Now she was not as angry as before and looked at Zhao Huanxi carefully.
She had the simplest woman's bun on her head. If you look closely, you can see that there are bruises on her face, but they are mostly concealed by her dark skin color. Xiang's sister-in-law secretly complained that the eldest son of the Lu family was a beast. He had land but didn't farm it. He ran out of the village every day and didn't go home. He even beat his wife. What a beast.
Zhao Huanxi was frightened by her stare and couldn't help covering his face. He waved to the onlookers and said, "I'm sorry, uncles and aunts, for disturbing your sweet dreams so early in the morning. I apologize to everyone."
The people around were excited to see it, thinking there would be a big show, but in the end they picked it up heavily and put it down lightly.
Sister-in-law Xiang finished counting the copper coins and turned to the onlookers, "Go away, there's nothing to see. Sister Huanxi is an honest person. Give her the money and we'll be even."
After saying that, he counted out five copper coins and stuffed them into Zhao Huanxi's hand, then turned around and strode towards his home.
Zhao Huanxi was left standing there in bewilderment. Didn't she come here to ask for money? Why did he return it to her?
After sending away the few people who were watching the fun, Zhao Huanxi turned around and went back to the house, closed the door, and sat on the bed before he could calm his thoughts.
She squeezed her hand; it hurt. This meant it wasn't a dream. She seemed to have truly traveled through time, becoming the new wife of a widower, the stepmother of several children, and this widower was also abusive.
Looking at the mess in the room, Zhao Huanxi's mind was a little confused.
The original owner had the same name as her. Although she was not a stunning beauty, she was a girl with a plain head and a decent face. She was 19 years old and still unmarried.
Because my younger brother was still young, my mother was ill every year, and my father was the only one working as a laborer at the dock, I had to support the family for my parents early on.
At that time, Lu Feng agreed to the betrothal gift and got married because his family was really broke. And Lu Feng heard from somewhere that the Zhao family's daughters were easy to bear, so he simply added another five taels of betrothal gift. The Zhao family thought that the Lu family was a good place to marry, so they agreed to the betrothal gift and got married less than half a month later.
The original owner also thought that Lu Feng was a good person at first, but unfortunately his true nature was exposed three months after the marriage. Three months later, when he found that the original owner had no signs of pregnancy, he began to order the original owner around, and it evolved into beating and kicking.
It was then that the original owner understood why Lu Feng wanted to marry her. It turned out that the children born to Lu Feng's deceased wife in several consecutive pregnancies were all daughters, and Lu Feng did not treat girls as human beings.
When he first got married, Lu Feng explained that because his wife had recently passed away, there was no one to take care of the children, so the children were just skin and bones, and the girls didn't like to talk much.
At first, the original owner thought it was just shy of strangers. After spending a few months with the original owner and living like a normal person, it gradually became a bit cheerful. But the good times only lasted a few months before it was back to its original state.
Last night, Lu Feng drank some horse urine and went home to start rummaging through the original owner's dowry. The original owner tried to stop him and was pinned to the ground and beaten. Several children who came to stop him were also beaten and thrown into the woodshed. Now there is no sound.
As for the original owner, he was beaten to death by that scumbag Lu Feng.
The modern Zhao Huanxi died suddenly while sleeping at home at that time, and thus became the ancient Zhao Huanxi by accident.
"Then where is Lu Feng? He was caught stealing someone's chicken early in the morning. It seems he didn't find anything valuable. He wanted to steal things to sell. What a scumbag."
Zhao Huanxi sorted out the information in his mind, opened the door and walked into the woodshed next door. He saw several little girls who were as thin as wild monkeys, curled up together, with traces of tears on their little faces.
Lu Feng's ex-wife left behind three daughters. The eldest, Lu Pan'er, is ten years old this year; the second, Lu Yin'er, is eight years old; and the third, Lu Nian'er, is four years old.
Poor thing, because they hadn't eaten enough for years, they looked much smaller than other children, their hair was rough and yellow, and their clothes were patched up.
At this time, the eldest daughter Pan'er noticed Zhao Huanxi coming in, raised her head and called out timidly, "Mom."
