The Otherworldly Journey of a Quick Transmigrator

"Stop trying to take advantage of Yuanyuan, and stop giving me all this nonsense," Ruoshui said through gritted teeth.

I wonder if a young woman's marriage can affect her entire life. What if Yuanyuan finds someone she likes later in life?

Lin Zhixing lowered his head silently. He knew he had done wrong. Wasn't he being too hasty? Yuanyuan was also his friend. He only spoke up because he saw that she really didn't want to get married.

Su Yuanyuan looked at the two of them and shook her head helplessly. Listen carefully to what I'm saying!

"I think you should be honest with your two older brothers first. Once you've won over Ruoshui's brothers, they'll help you deal with Uncle Zhou."

Lin Zhixing's eyes lit up when he heard that. "Will they help?"

"That depends on your performance." Su Yuanyuan shrugged; she was only responsible for giving suggestions.

Ruoshui hesitated, "Are you sure nothing will happen? My brother is very strict."

"You can't keep dragging this on. You've been pressured to get married so many times already. You have to take the first step eventually."

Su Yuanyuan couldn't be sure if it would work, but based on her intuition, Ruoshui's brother must have noticed something.

"Ruoshui, let's give it a try. I don't want to see your uncle picking people for you anymore."

Lin Zhixing pitifully tugged at Ruoshui's sleeve. Every time he saw a matchmaker leaving Ruoshui's house, he was terrified.

Looking at her lover's pitiful appearance, and thinking about how he had given up his vast family business and stayed in this small town for several years, Ruoshui was also somewhat moved.

"Let's talk about it together when my brothers come back tomorrow."

"Really! Ruoshui, I'm so happy."

Lin Zhixing sat up straight excitedly. "What time is it tomorrow? I need to get ready."

Su Yuanyuan looked him up and down, thinking that if she told him to wear clothes that were less likely to get dirty tomorrow, he would probably get a beating.

I thought about it but didn't say it out loud. It's better to get beaten up than to take something for granted when it's so easy to get something.

After having dinner at Ruoshui's house, Su Yuanyuan said goodbye and left. Lin Zhixing had already left; he still had business to take care of.

Sitting in the carriage that Ruoshui had prepared for her, Su Yuanyuan enjoyed the scenery along the way.

Even after entering the village, Su Yuanyuan could still hear the older women talking about her from a distance.

"The Su family girl is back. She's always running to town. What's the use of earning so much money?"

"That's right, Yue Niang turned down another marriage proposal yesterday. I don't know what kind of family she's looking for. Her daughter will be an old maid if she doesn't get married soon."

Su Yuanyuan rolled her eyes, feeling quite speechless. She was only 16 or 17 years old, and she was already considered an old maid.

The conversation continued, but Su Yuanyuan was already tired of listening. It was the same old stuff over and over again, and it got annoying after a while.

"Father! Mother! I'm back."

Pushing open the courtyard gate, he saw his father chopping firewood in the yard, and his mother sitting by the well washing clothes.

"Yuanyuan is back. Have you eaten?"

When Yue Niang saw her daughter, a smile immediately appeared on her face, and she stood up to head to the kitchen.

Su Yuanyuan quickly took a few steps to stop her, "Mother, I've already eaten at Ruoshui's house, no need to trouble yourself."

"Okay, there are pastries inside if you're hungry."

Moon Lady gave a few words of advice, then sat back down to continue washing clothes. Su Yuanyuan squatted down and helped her mother wash.

"Yuanyuan, is there really no chance for you and Ruoshui?" Yueniang hesitated for a moment, then looked at her lively and adorable daughter and asked again, still unwilling to give up.

She had met Ruoshui; he was a gentle and refined young man who had such a good relationship with her daughter and didn't have any other messy women around him. How could it be impossible?

Su Yuanyuan shook her head, somewhat at a loss for words. How could she explain it to her mother so that she would believe there was nothing between them?

Sometimes she really wanted to tell the truth, but she definitely couldn't reveal their affair without Ruoshui's permission.

"Mom, we're really just friends, there's no way we could ever be together."

"Why is it impossible? Ruoshui is so wonderful."

Moon Lady gave her a disapproving look. "You brat, you have so many good men around you, why don't you even give it a try?"

"What about Manager Lin? You don't like him either?"

Su Yuanyuan really wanted to cover her face. "I don't like him. I can only be his business partner."

"Humph!"

Moon Lady gave a light snort of annoyance and vigorously rubbed the clothes.

Su Yuanyuan looked at the clothes in her mother's hands with amusement. "Mom, be gentle, or you'll tear them."

"Go aside."

Moon Maiden waved her hand and started to shoo people away. She got angry just seeing her. For her own health, she should go further away.

"okay!"

Su Yuanyuan stood up with a grin, glanced at her father who was silently chopping wood, and decided to go back inside.

She hadn't said a word since she came in, not even glancing at me. She must have been punished by her mother to chop wood, so I decided not to go and provoke her.

As she stood at the door, she glanced back and met her father's gaze, which clearly indicated that he wanted her to help.

Su Yuanyuan shrugged, looking like she had no choice, only to receive a fierce glare in return. She guiltily looked away.

She couldn't possibly go there; going now would be like stepping on a landmine. Her father was strong enough to chop some firewood as a form of exercise.

Entering the house, Su Yuanyuan gently closed the door and let out a breath.

"Sigh~ I don't know how much longer my parents can hold on. The shackles on women in ancient times were too heavy."

Su Yuanyuan slumped limply on the slightly worn wooden table like a lump of mud, her brows furrowed, her heart filled with helplessness and entanglement.

The question of marriage was like a heavy stone weighing on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

Lin Xingzhi gave her an idea today, but the original candidate is definitely not suitable, and she needs to find a more suitable person.

However, Su Yuanyuan also understood that these things couldn't be rushed. So, she decided to take it slow.

Thinking of this, Su Yuanyuan sighed softly, but at the same time felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, her parents were quite open-minded and didn't really force her to get married.

The next day, Su Yuanyuan did not go to town again, but went with her parents to weed the fields.

Before dawn, the Moon Goddess had already started boiling water, and the cornbread she had prepared the night before could be heated up and eaten.

With two kinds of pickled vegetables and a bowl of hot porridge each, that's their breakfast. After a simple meal, they put the bowls and chopsticks in a basin to soak in water until they come back at noon to wash them.

Su Jiye shouldered a hoe and carried a basket in one hand, filled with water for them to drink. Yue Niang, dressed in a light silk robe, followed lightly beside Su Jiye.

Su Yuanyuan was the last to leave, with candy she had bought in her mouth and more than a dozen pieces stuffed in her purse.

When you go out, you're bound to run into the village children. Children are the purest of people; giving them a small gift will always make them remember your kindness.
