You are unlucky and I am tough

Congratulations to the host for successfully traveling across the soul. Reading the original owner's memories.

"I have a headache. It's so noisy outside."

All kinds of related memories flooded into Cheng Shuang's mind, and he felt a splitting headache. It took him a long time to finally recover.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying on a brick bed with a thatched roof and adobe walls.

What I see can be summed up in one word: poor.

“It’s fucked up.”

Combining this with the original owner's memories in his mind, Cheng Shuang couldn't help but curse.

As expected, none of the wishes came true, and he was still trapped in a poor mountain valley. He had a miserable life, a lot of brothers and sisters, and a bunch of weird relatives.

A standard piece of farming literature!

They clearly said she died in vain and they would compensate her? The ghosts in the underworld are all deceitful ghosts.

Outside, a rough female voice was cursing at the top of her lungs. It was the original owner's most bizarre relative, her aunt-in-law Hu Chunhua.

He is sarcastic, picky and stubborn, and treats the original body like a slave all day long.

At this moment, she was arguing with the villagers because she wanted to sell her original body to someone else for ten taels of silver, saying that she was buying her to be a wife for her son. In fact, she was a human trafficker, and the villagers accused her of being too cruel.

The original body's parents were both dead. His father was killed and robbed by pirates on a ship while he was out doing business five years ago. His mother had difficulty giving birth due to the death of her husband and developed a chronic illness. She died after more than a year.

The old man in the family died early, and the three remaining sons did not split up and lived in the old house left by Old Man Cheng.

Old Man Cheng was hardworking and capable when he was young, so the house he left behind was very big, and each of his three brothers could get three rooms.

The original body's father, Cheng Laosi, was the youngest of three brothers, with two older brothers, one older sister, and a younger sister.

Because he had some education when he was young, he met some people outside and started a business. Over the years, most of the family's expenses were paid by him.

Mr. Cheng also used the money he earned to support his son's studies, paying him three taels of silver as tuition every month. Now, Mr. Cheng's son, Cheng Caijun, has become a student.

Unfortunately, after Cheng Lao Si died, Cheng Lao Da and Cheng Lao Er did not treat his children well, and they lived a life worse than pigs and dogs under the torture of their wives.

Cheng Shuang is the eldest daughter of Cheng Laosi. She is seventeen years old this year and her younger sister Cheng Pan is thirteen years old.

Then there are the two younger brothers Cheng Chen and Cheng Xu, who are seven and five years old respectively. Cheng Shuang almost raised them single-handedly.

Cheng's father originally planned to send both boys to school, but now the two children can't even get enough to eat, let alone study at home. They are much thinner than other children of the same age in the village and are as skinny as two bean sprouts.

Hu Chunhua was determined to sell out Cheng Shuang today, and he was a man with great fighting spirit, arguing with a dozen women.

"Just sell it, what's wrong with that? I'm her aunt, and I've been feeding her all these years so she didn't starve to death. I've raised her for so many years and she still can't get married. If I don't sell her, will she bring disaster to our family?"

"Didn't the third son of Wei Changgui's family say that he was willing to marry Cheng Shuang?" A woman among the onlookers said loudly, attracting a group of people to echo her.

Hu Chunhua glared angrily, pinching her waist. "Does the Wei family have money? Is Wei Changgui willing to pay ten taels of silver as a betrothal gift? He said yesterday that he doesn't have a penny. He wants to get a wife for free without paying. What a wishful thinking."

"She was born to be a jinx, and now she's been rescued from the water by another man. If anyone dares to want her in the future, I'll just wait for her to rot at home if I don't sell her."

"Didn't the third son of the Wei family say he was thinking of a solution? He called the village head this morning. Maybe he'll have money soon."

"Yes, Caijun's mother is your niece after all. If you sell her, you won't be afraid that her parents will crawl out of the ground to settle the score with you."

"I'm not afraid even if she crawls out. Is it my fault that she has a bad fate? My fate has mentioned three families, and all of them were engaged, but then something went wrong and the engagement was broken off.

At seventeen, no one dared to marry her. She might have been the cause of her parents' death. If we keep her, our family will be in big trouble. My Jun'er will have to take the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official in the future. He cannot be implicated by her."

"That's a bit too much. Cheng Shuang is such a good kid. She works so hard for you every day without complaint."

"Yes, it wasn't her fault that the three families had accidents. Don't you think that the money for your talented man's education was earned by Cheng Shuang's father? Otherwise, how could you afford the monthly salary of three taels of silver by farming?"

Hu Chunhua couldn't refute that her son used Cheng Laosi's money to study, so she changed the subject and said, "Accident? Why don't the villagers want her? Aunt Xu, you like her so much, would you like to give her ten taels of silver to your Daqing as a daughter-in-law?"

Xu Sanpo, who was named, was choked. Although she felt sorry for Cheng Shuang, she was also worried about the fact that she had the reputation of being a jinx.

After hesitating for a while, he said, "My Daqing's marriage has been decided."

Hu Chunhua, as if she had won a battle, said arrogantly, "See, see, you all don't dare to want her. I don't owe her anything, so why should I keep supporting her?"

There was no one in the room. Cheng Shuang leaned against the door and listened to the conversation outside for a while, piecing together some things in her confused memory.

A few days ago, there was heavy rain and the river was flooded. After the rain stopped, some villagers picked up fish that were washed down from upstream. So yesterday morning, Hu Chunhua urged Cheng Shuang to go to the river for a walk to see if she could pick up any fish.

As a result, the soil by the river became loose due to heavy rain for several days, and the original owner accidentally fell into the river. It was the third son of the Wei family who jumped into the river to save her.

The man and woman were hugging each other, wet all over. Wei Laosan carried the man to the shore and performed first aid. Most people in the village saw it.

Wei Laosan said at the time that he was willing to take responsibility for marrying the original owner, and then Hu Chunhua asked for a betrothal gift of ten taels of silver, and if she couldn't afford it, there would be no deal.

For ordinary families in the village, two taels of silver is the maximum they can give as a dowry to marry a wife, and most people give five or six hundred coins to marry a wife. Hu Chunhua is asking for too much.

Wei Laosan's father, Wei Changgui, started cursing at the time, saying that Cheng Shuang was unlucky and his family didn't want her, and that they didn't need to pay a penny for the bride price if they wanted to marry her.

The poor original body had drowned after falling into the river. The person Wei Lao San rescued was not the original Cheng Shuang. The Cheng family felt that she was unlucky in marriage, and now that this kind of thing had happened, it would be better to sell her off and be done with it.

When Cheng Shuang was unconscious, the eldest son of the Cheng family used his connections to find two people to come and see her. Originally, those people thought that the Cheng family's offer of ten taels was too high, but after seeing the girl, they immediately agreed.

Because they thought the original owner was prettier than the girls from the rich families in the city, they bought her and took her to a distant provincial capital. Whether they sold her to a rich family as a concubine or to a brothel, they could make several times the money.

As for Wei Lao San, the original body had very few memories of him. He only knew that his name was Wei Qinglang, and that he was not Wei Changgui's biological son.

This name, which is out of tune with the other villagers, was given by his mother. It is said that his mother's identity is unknown. She somehow fainted at the entrance of Chengjia Village and was rescued by Wei Changgui. At that time, she was holding a baby boy in her arms who could not walk yet.

Wei Changgui had married and divorced someone before, and had two biological sons. He had never liked Wei Qinglang very much.

Later, his mother disappeared and his life at home became more and more miserable. Wei Changgui would beat and scold him at every turn, but he never said a word. He buried his head in work all day and had no sense of existence in the village.

Cheng Shuang couldn't help but sigh, what a poor man.

After she finished her sigh and was thinking that it was her turn to appear, someone outside suddenly shouted that the head of the village was here. Cheng Shuang let go of the hand pulling the door and put her ear close to it again, intending to listen for a while longer.

The head of Chengjia Village was over sixty years old, with a white beard. He was wearing a coarse cloth suit that had been washed white, and he walked into the yard with a cane.

Following behind him was Wei Qinglang, who lowered his head. He looked quite honest, but no one saw that under his lowered head, his eyes were dark, bright and clear, and there was a calmness in his eyes that showed that he was not easily startled.

Hu Chunhua put her hands on her hips and looked at people with her chin in her hands. When she saw the village head coming, she turned her head and looked away and snorted.

Even if the head of the village came, it would be useless. In short, there would be no marriage without ten taels of silver.

Cheng Lizheng came over with a cane, "Caijun's mother, I brought Qinglang here to tell you that the Wei family has paid the betrothal gift of ten taels of silver."

"what......"

"Chang Gui's family really has ten taels."

"The sun is rising from the west. Is Chang Gui really willing to give out ten taels of silver to help the third son get married?"

The onlookers were shocked. They couldn't believe that the Wei family was really willing to spend ten taels of silver to marry a daughter-in-law who had the reputation of being a jinx.

And the third child is not his biological child.

The village chief paused with his cane on the ground, coughed, and said, "Everyone, be quiet. Qinglang has already separated from home with his younger brother and sister-in-law. This money is his own. He will live on his own after he gets married."

"So that's how it is. We should have separated them long ago."

"Yes, the third child is like a workhorse in their family. He is left alone to do all the farming, and he is often beaten and scolded. He should have been separated long ago."

The villagers were talking about this all at once. Hu Chunhua was also very surprised. She widened her eyes and shouted, "Are you really going to marry her for ten taels?"

Wei Qinglang walked over and took out two five-liang silver ingots from his pocket with no expression on his face and handed them over.

"This is the betrothal money. Aunt Hu must keep her word."

Hu Chunhua held the ten-liang silver ingot in her hand, her eyes gradually brightening. She turned and called into the house, "Dad, come out quickly! The suitor is here."
