The Story of a Spoiled Daughter Raising a Husband

Tong Qian glanced at Ji Xiuping in the distance. The man's face was full of disbelief. He probably never expected that his kindness back then would be regarded as a despicable malice. Even she, who had just transmigrated, couldn't help but feel a chill for him.

Ji Xiuping's face turned pale and then red, and it took him a while to calm down. He had thought that Tong Qian's earlier push was because she didn't want him to interfere, but now he could no longer tolerate it: "I had been tolerant of you because I respected you as Qian'er's parents. But you even dared to slander your own daughter's innocence. You are utterly vicious and do not deserve to be parents. Although my family is poor, we will not tolerate your evil deeds. If you continue to cause trouble, we will have to take you to the government office!"

Seeing his harsh tone, Tong's parents knew they had angered Ji Xiuping and dared not speak rashly. If he really went to report to the authorities, everything would be over.

Tong Qian could tell what was going on just by looking at their guilty expressions.

If they were to actually go to court, they would have no advantage. Their only option would be public opinion. As long as everyone is on their side, they would be in the right even if they were wrong. By then, even if Ji Xiuping reported it to the authorities, they would have already taken her somewhere. If they were to make trouble and accuse her again, Ji Xiuping would have no way to clear her name even if she had ten mouths.

His plan was quite clever, but unfortunately, he ran into her!

"Father, Mother, Qian'er has a question." Tong Qian spoke loudly, deliberately making sure everyone could hear clearly: "You sold me back then because you needed money for my eldest brother's wedding. Now you're making baseless accusations that Xiu Ping, who raised me, abducted me. Qian'er wants to ask, is it because my second brother is short of money for his wedding?"

As she had predicted, everyone was shocked by these words, not expecting that there was such a thing behind it.

“If you, as mother and father, are heartless, then don’t blame your daughter for being unfilial. No matter what, I… I cannot be ungrateful and let you falsely accuse my brother Xiuping.”

As she spoke, Tong Qian burst into tears, weeping bitterly, giving the onlookers a powerful dose of entertainment.

Ji Xiuping had no idea what Tong Qian was thinking. Seeing her crying so sadly, he couldn't care about anything else and rushed over to hug her. His heartache was written all over his face.

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized the truth and began to criticize.

"Look at this, now that's what it means to truly care for someone."

"Yes, yes, what kind of parents are you? You actually sold your young daughter for your son?"

"They sold it to someone else and then shamelessly came to ask for it back. They're utterly lawless."

……

The argument escalated, and some members even threatened to come to blows.

Tong Qian's words were all true, and for a moment, Tong's parents couldn't find any words to refute them, so they could only slink away.

As she watched them gradually disappear into the distance, Tong Qian's tense nerves finally relaxed. Her whole body went limp, and her head suddenly started to ache again. Her vision blurred, and she barely managed to fall to one side. In her hazy state, she seemed to see Ji Xiuping catching her with a drastically changed expression.

After an unknown amount of time, Tong Qian, who was still unconscious, suddenly heard a mechanical sound in her ear.

"The Encyclopedia of All Things has been activated. The first task of 'slapping the face of bizarre parents' has been completed, and 10 reputation points have been obtained. The first 3 pages of the encyclopedia can be browsed at will."

The Encyclopedia of All Things? What is that?

Suddenly, a thick, ancient book appeared out of nowhere, looking quite valuable.

I think I just heard someone say that she can view the first three pages?

Reaching out, Tong Qian opened it. In an instant, a dazzling light filled her eyes, which only faded after a moment.

Although each page is short, it can be scrolled like a smartphone.

After carefully reading the last three pages, Tong Qian discovered that they contained stories similar to modern novels, but with a wide range of topics, including military affairs, politics, strange tales, and romance, all described in detail as if they had actually happened.

Tong Qian was engrossed in her story when she suddenly snapped out of it and woke up.

Then she saw Ji Xiuping's handsome face. He looked at her with a probing gaze, but said nothing.

How should he bring it up? Ji Xiuping wondered why Qian'er seemed so different since she woke up last time. He couldn't quite explain why he had this feeling; it was just a strange intuition.

Tong Qian couldn't help but smile as she looked at his awkward yet adorable expression.

Looking at this handsome young man in his prime, she suddenly thought of Tong Qian's unreasonable and capricious behavior in the past, which prevented Ji Xiuping from passing the imperial examinations, let alone getting married. What a waste of such a great resource. "What a pity. I wonder what she was thinking?"

"What—what were you thinking?" Ji Xiuping asked guiltily upon hearing Tong Qian's words.

"Huh?" Tong Qian was clearly stunned for a moment before slowly realizing that she had actually blurted out what was on her mind.

"Haha, uh, I mean—" Catching a glimpse of Ji Xiuping's nervous expression, Tong Qian suddenly smiled and leaned forward, almost nose to nose with Ji Xiuping: "After this incident, you won't abandon me, will you, Brother Xiuping?"

Brother Xiuping.

The four words, spoken in a soft, nasal tone, along with the faint, lingering fragrance of a woman, caused Ji Xiuping to retreat a considerable distance, his ears turning bright red.

"Brother Xiuping," Tong Qian persisted, "you still haven't answered."

"I want it, of course I want it." As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Xiuping suddenly felt that his words were a bit 'ambiguous', and hurriedly added, stammering, "I mean, I mean no matter what, I will never abandon you, yes, that's what I mean."

Tong Qian couldn't help but laugh when she saw his earlobes, which were almost dripping blood.

Seeing this, Ji Xiuping became even more embarrassed, turned around and scratched his head awkwardly.

Tong Qian's smiling gaze suddenly froze.

Ji Xiuping's cuffs were worn out, but he still wore them anyway. In contrast, his own clothes were neat and tidy, without a single patch.

As if something had struck her heart, Tong Qian stared straight at Ji Xiuping, making up her mind.

Now that I am the one who has traveled here, I will no longer make you suffer like this!

"Brother Xiuping." Tong Qian got out of bed and walked up to him. "Let's go to town."

To live a good life, you must first find a way to make money. This is a poor village with few opportunities, while there are more opportunities in the town.

Ji Xiuping seemed to still be recovering from his earlier shyness, avoiding Tong Qian's gaze.

"Brother Xiuping, is it okay?"

This sound finally brought Ji Xiuping back to reality. Recalling her question, although he knew it was probably just her being unreasonable, he still couldn't bring himself to refuse when faced with her clear, bright eyes. He could only bite the bullet and agree.

Tong Qian naturally knew why he hesitated for a moment. According to her memory, the original Tong Qian was practically a vampire. Despite her family's poor conditions, she still wanted this and that, and if she didn't get them, she would throw a tantrum. Ji Xiuping would try his best to satisfy her as long as he could, unless he really had no other choice.

“Then you wait here,” Ji Xiuping said. “I’ll go to Aunt Lin’s to borrow an oxcart.”

"Okay, sure." Tong Qian smiled sweetly at him, a smile that almost made Ji Xiuping trip over the threshold when he went out.

Ji Xiuping's heart calmed down for a moment when he went to borrow an oxcart from Aunt Lin.

"Xiuping, what do you need the car for?" Aunt Lin asked casually with a smile.

"Oh," Ji Xiuping said, "Qian'er is going to town, I'll go with her."

Aunt Lin's face immediately darkened. Although she didn't say anything on the surface, she muttered after Ji Xiuping had walked away, "It's all because of that little girl Tong Qian again. I don't know what kind of bewitching potion she's given this honest boy Xiuping, making him squander money like crazy!"
