Transmigrated into a child bride, she punishes scumbags, raises children, and marries a soldier.

Zhou Chuan had just finished get off work, bought groceries, and was heading home when he saw a van speeding towards a 5 or 6-year-old child. He reached out and pulled the child back, saving the child's life. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly choked and couldn't breathe; he choked to death.

Passersby were horrified by what they saw. Someone quickly called for an ambulance, but when the doctors arrived, they found that Zhou Chuan had already lost all vital signs.

However, at that moment, something strange happened. Zhou Chuan's body emitted a light, and then his soul gradually left his body and entered a mysterious space.

As soon as Zhou Chuan regained consciousness, she saw a mysterious old man who said that because she had saved ten lifetimes of good people, she had been granted a chance to travel through time.

Zhou Chuan hesitated for a moment, just about to ask if he could choose to time travel, when the old man vanished in a flash.

As the light flashed again, Zhou Chuan's figure disappeared from the spot...

"Auntie, get up and get to work!"

"The sun's already high in the sky, get up and get to work!"

The sound grew closer, and Zhou Chuan was still wondering whose child it was when a little girl stormed in. Seeing Zhou Chuan still lying in bed, she yelled at the top of her lungs:

"Why aren't you up yet? You lazybones! All the kids are up, and you, the adult, are still in bed. When Grandma comes back, I'm going to tell her all about this and make her teach you a lesson!"

Zhou Chuan struggled to open her eyes, and after a moment of dizziness, she could finally make out the face of the little girl who looked no more than ten years old. Even though it was the first time she had seen her, she knew who she was immediately. She swayed as she got out of bed, grabbed a thin stick from the pile of firewood next to her, and started whipping the little girl: "I'll teach you to shout, I'll teach you to shout! Shout my ass! I'm your aunt, your elder! You ill-mannered brat!"

The little girl was none other than the eldest daughter of the second son's family, named Da Ni. She was exactly ten years old this year. Despite her young age, she had inherited the sharp tongue of the old lady in the family, and was as mean as two people.

The little girl was hurt and immediately started crying loudly. All the adults in the family had gone to the fields, leaving only the children at home. Hearing the little girl's cries, the children all rushed over.

"Don't hit my sister, or I won't be polite!" The oldest little boy bravely stepped forward, gesturing with his little fist as he spoke. The remaining boys, aged two or three, and five or six, also trembled and looked fierce.

When Zhou Chuan saw the children gathered at the door, she stopped hitting them. She was still very weak, and hitting people would take a lot of effort.

She pushed the little girl out the door: "If you ever act disrespectfully towards me again, I'll beat you every time I see you!" Then she pointed the stick at the other children: "You all get out too, are you all getting cocky and looking for a beating?"

The oldest of the children was only about 7 or 8 years old. As soon as they saw the stick in Zhou Chuan's hand, they scattered and ran away.

The little girl was pushed out, and seeing that Zhou Chuan couldn't hit her, she immediately became furious: "Hmph, you hit me, I'm going to tell Grandma, I'm going to tell my mother, you'll be starving today!"

Zhou Chuan gestured with the stick in his hand: "Go ahead and say it if you dare!" He hadn't hit him hard enough; he should have hit him a little longer.

The little girl was a bit scared and disappeared in a flash, followed by the other children who rushed outside in a swarm.

Zhou Chuan closed the door, and her body felt weak. She leaned against the door and gasped for breath several times before she felt a little better.

Through the small "window" on the wall, she roughly surveyed the original owner's "room." Most of the room was filled with firewood, with dry firewood split by an axe lying horizontally, thin sticks standing vertically, and corn stalks, wheat straw, and other dry grass for starting a fire.

The other corner was piled with miscellaneous items, such as farm tools that were not used in the current season, and broken junk that they couldn't bear to throw away, which were all put in the woodshed.

That's right, the original owner lived in the woodshed. Her "room" contained nothing but firewood and miscellaneous items. There were no cabinets, tables, or anything like that. The only proof that the original owner lived there was a bed made of two wooden planks, with a few changes of clothes on it, and nothing else.

Zhou Chuan followed his memory to the corner where the straw was piled up, where some of the original owner's belongings were hidden—loose small bills, while the larger five silver dollars had been hidden in the mountains by the original owner.

It took the original owner more than 20 years to secretly save up this little bit of money. He always kept it very hidden. Even when he was sick, he would go into the mountains to find some anti-inflammatory herbs to brew and drink. He never thought of using a single penny of his savings.

Yes, she wasn't mistaken. It was more than twenty years. The original owner had been a child bride in the Sun family since she was 8 years old, and it had been 22 years since then. In more than twenty years, she had only managed to save up this little bit of money.

The original owner of this body had a truly miserable life, never having had a single good day from childhood to adulthood. If her biological father hadn't died, things might have been a little better, but there are never any "what ifs" in this world.

When she was about 3 years old, her biological father, Zhou Dahe, fell ill. It wasn't a serious illness, but the family was too poor to afford treatment. In addition, he had to work to support the family, so his health gradually deteriorated. When she was 8 years old, he finally succumbed to his illness and passed away.

The original owner's biological mother, Zhang, was a wife that Zhou Dahe chose himself. The original owner's grandmother was against it at first, and it was only after the original owner's biological father had a falling out with his family that he was able to marry Zhang into the family.

Because of this, the original owner's grandmother disliked the original owner's mother no matter what, and she never gave the original owner, who was born to Zhang, a kind look.

Furthermore, during the nine years Zhang Shi was in the Zhou family, she only gave birth to the original owner's daughter. Afterwards, Zhou Dahe fell seriously ill and it was clear that he would not recover. It was feared that he would not even have a son after his death. The original owner's grandmother hated Zhang Shi even more.

Knowing she couldn't survive in the Zhou family, Zhang remarried after Zhou Dahe's seven-day mourning period. However, the new husband's family already had three children and resolutely refused to let Zhang bring another burden with her. Zhang hugged the original owner and cried bitterly, then left the Zhou family early the next morning.

And so, the original owner was abandoned. But the original owner's grandmother was no pushover. She hated the original owner and her daughter to death and didn't even want to look at the original owner. When she heard that the Sun family wanted to find a child bride, she quickly sent the original owner away.

Actually, the Sun family and the family that the original owner's grandmother and Zhang remarried into were all from the same village. The original owner could still see them often, but when she encountered the original owner's grandmother, she would automatically hide far away because she knew that begging would be useless.

The biological mother was a little better. For a year after the incident, Zhang would still shed tears when she met the original owner in the village. Knowing that the original owner was not getting enough to eat, she would secretly bring some food to help her out. After a year, Zhang gave birth to another son, and then nothing more happened.

At first, Zhang felt somewhat guilty, but gradually she began to avoid the original owner. Later, she would pretend not to see her when she saw her. It was after that that the original owner realized that no one wanted her anymore, and she settled down to be a child bride in the Chen family.

If nothing unexpected had happened, the original owner would have married the eldest son of the family when she reached marriageable age, had two more children to establish herself, and been able to make a living. It wouldn't have been impossible for her to have a happy ending after all her hardships.

It's a pity that the original owner was so unlucky; he missed out on a single good thing!

Having discussed the original owner's side, we must now turn to the Sun family's side.

The head of this family is surnamed Sun and named Sun Mancang. His elders have all passed away, and his three brothers have long since separated from the family. Sun Mancang is the youngest in the family.

Decades ago, the whole family ate together from the same pot. Back then, the eldest and second eldest sons each had two or three sons, but the third son, Sun Mancang, had no sons. Sun Mancang's wife, Wang, gave birth to three daughters in a row, making them the laughing stock of the village.

Having three daughters in a row was a significant blow to the couple. At home, Wang was disliked by her mother-in-law and ridiculed by her sisters-in-law. In the village, she was also pointed at and laughed at as a barren hen.

Sun Mancang was a man, so people didn't laugh at him like they did at Wang Shi. After all, in the common people's minds, having a son or a daughter was still a woman's business. But he was only slightly better off than Wang Shi, and there was still plenty of gossip behind his back.

In her quest for a child, Ms. Wang tried all sorts of folk remedies and secret medicines, but it wasn't until three years later that she became pregnant again. The couple, still worried, went to a local fortune teller in town for a reading. The fortune teller declared that the child in Ms. Wang's womb was a girl.

Upon hearing this, Wang wanted to abort the child. She already had three daughters, and if she had another daughter, she would have no place in the Sun family.

At that time, there were no particularly reliable abortifacients, and Wang struggled for her life, but in the end, she still couldn't abort the child. When the midwife finished delivering the baby and said that it was a boy, Wang was so happy that she fainted.

However, although the child was born, his health was poor, very poor, and he was always sick. But Wang was overjoyed to finally have a son, and she could finally hold her head high.

Sun Mancang was overjoyed. For so many years, he had watched his two older brothers have sons one after another, and he had been green with envy. Now that he had a son of his own, he could finally hold his head high.

After that, the couple devoted all their attention to Sun Gousheng. Grandpa Sun felt that his grandson was not in good health, so he specially gave him a humble name.

At that time, the Sun family had not yet divided their property. Xiao Gousheng was sick every few days, and his food and drink had to be very carefully selected, which cost a lot of money. It could be said that raising one Sun Gousheng was equivalent to raising several normal children in the village.

After two years of this, the two sisters-in-law couldn't take it anymore. At that rate of spending, no amount of money would be enough for Sun Gousheng to squander. In the end, they had to separate the family. After the separation, Sun Mancang and his wife didn't have enough money to properly raise their son. With no other option, Wang sold off the three daughters of the family one by one.

Another year passed, and Sun Gousheng's health miraculously improved. He started to get sick less often, but his body was still weak. There was nothing that could be done about it. The doctor said that Sun Gousheng hadn't been properly cared for in the womb, and that would be how he would be for the rest of his life.

Not long after, Wang became pregnant again and gave birth to a healthy baby boy. For the next two days, Sun Mancang walked with a brisk pace. The couple thought it was because of Sun Gousheng, so they did not neglect him because they had a normal child. In fact, they cared for him even more than before.

When Sun Gousheng turned 10, his health still hadn't improved significantly, so Wang Shi finally gave up hope, thinking that her son's life was pretty much over.

Considering Sun Gousheng's health condition, the couple felt that there probably wouldn't be a good girl in the village willing to marry their son.

It makes sense when you think about it. Everyone in the surrounding villages knows about their son's situation. What decent family would marry their daughter to someone like Sun Gousheng, who is half-crippled?

Instead of spending a lot of money to marry a bad one, it would be better to put in more effort to find a girl that no one wants and raise her from a young age. This would save money, effort, and most importantly, be considerate. After all, compared to marrying someone later, they have more than ten years of relationship.

The couple thought it was a good idea, and after hearing about the original owner's situation, they took the initiative to find the original owner's grandmother. It is said that they brought the original owner back without spending much money.

As luck would have it, after the age of 10, Sun Gousheng's health gradually improved. First, he could walk without getting out of breath, then he could run and jump, and later he was no different from a normal boy.

This should have been a good thing, but to Madam Wang, it felt like she'd swallowed a fly. She felt the original owner of this body was no longer worthy of her son, and besides, she had even sold her own three daughters, so there was no reason for her to support an outsider.

She had tried to send the original owner back to the Zhou family, but was rejected by the strong-willed grandmother of the original owner. It was only after Grandpa Sun persuaded her that Wang Shi gave up her original idea.

Old Man Sun was right. Sun Mancang and his wife had already exhausted their savings over the years because of Sun Gousheng. In addition, they had a younger son, and now they have three sons who will get married in the future. The dowry, bride price, and other expenses will be a huge sum of money. Where will the money come from then? They don't have any daughters to exchange for money.

Besides, the original owner was already 8 years old at that time, and could do a lot of work. Raising her to adulthood, whether she became the eldest son's wife or someone else, would save a lot of money.

Thus, the original owner stayed in the Sun family, beginning more than twenty years of a miserable life.

What kind of life is it for a child bride? She has to get up before dawn and can't sleep until it's dark. In winter, she has to wash clothes with cold water and in summer, she has to cook over a fire. She is never full or warm, and she is often beaten.

The original owner of this body wasn't entirely without hope. She hoped that once her mother had established herself in the new family, she would take her away. She had even planned that once she arrived at her stepfather's house, she would work hard and eat less. Even if her stepfather didn't like her, he should at least treat her better for his mother's sake, unlike how he treated her at the Sun family. But her hopes were dashed...

Her own mother didn't want her at all. The original owner recognized reality and chose to stay obediently in the Sun family. She had no other thoughts and just waited until she reached a certain age to marry Sun Gousheng.

Just a few months before their wedding, Sun Gousheng ran away with a merchant from the village, and he was never heard from again for more than 20 years.

Sun Gousheng's actions immediately put the original owner in the spotlight. Everyone said that Sun Gousheng ran away because he didn't want to marry the original owner. Madam Wang also thought so. She scolded the original owner at home for more than a week, regretting that she shouldn't have kept the original owner, which forced her son to run away from home.

The original owner's already miserable life became even worse after this, it was simply unbearable for a human to live. She was given all kinds of hard and tiring work, but she was not given any food. The original owner was so hungry that she had no choice but to go up the mountain to find a way.

Later, she met an old herb gatherer who took pity on her and taught her to recognize some medicinal herbs. He also told her the exact locations of some wild fruits in the mountains so that she could pick some to eat when she was starving.

The original owner would sell the dried medicinal herbs to the old man, who would help her exchange the loose change for silver dollars and sometimes bring her some dry food. This continued until the old man passed away.

Actually, she didn't know if the old man had passed away. She hadn't seen him for five years and guessed that he must have died. The meager five silver dollars were what she had saved up from selling herbs over those eight years.

Zhou Chuan's visit was due to a recent incident that became the final straw for the original owner of this body. It turned out that Sun Gousheng, who had run away over twenty years ago, had written home. Not only was he alive and well, but he had also joined the army, become an officer, and married a beautiful woman from the city. His wife was now pregnant, and they were expecting the baby later that year…

When the original owner heard Sun Gousheng write a letter back while she was in the field, she thought she had finally made it through. She rushed home excitedly, but after hearing the village chief read the contents of the letter in a corner of the Sun family's main room, she screamed and fainted.

The original owner couldn't understand it. He had already married a wife in the city, so what was she? All these years, she had been a slave to the Sun family, working herself to the bone like someone in their forties or fifties despite being in her thirties. What was she doing all this for...?

Zhou Chuan had never seen anyone as unfortunate as the original owner. Sure enough, the transmigration was a blessing, a life of suffering without ever enjoying a single day of happiness. The Sun family was also utterly shameless, like bloodsucking leeches, relentlessly draining every last drop of bone marrow from honest people.

It's also the original owner's fault for being too honest, letting the Sun family bully him at will!

But now it's her turn, and the Sun family... Hmph, just wait and see!

Zhou Chuan suppressed her anger for the time being; there was plenty of time, and she wasn't in a hurry.

She took out the loose change she had hidden and put it in her pocket. Then she opened the door to the kitchen to try her luck, even though it was probably locked. But what if it was?
