A renowned ancient physician transmigrates into the body of an abandoned woman, only to be sold off

"Oh, I see. What about the rest of the family? Why can't we find them?"

Song Zhili was a little puzzled. Usually, Zhang and Zhao would come over to make fish balls at this time, so why didn't they come today?

"Little sister, have you forgotten? It's harvest season now. Parents have gone to the fields to harvest rice, and Aunt Zhang and Aunt Zhao will probably be going to the fields to harvest rice too."

Upon hearing Song Ziyuan's words, Song Zhili went to the backyard to wash up, then went to the kitchen to have breakfast before deciding to go to the fields to take a look.

Seeing that she was about to go out, Song Ziyuan followed behind her. The two walked side by side towards the fields. Along the way, Song Zhili saw villagers harvesting rice in the fields on both sides of the road.

When they reached their field and saw Hu Cuicui and the others busy working in the field, Song Hai was the first to spot them. When he saw Song Ziyuan there, he was also taken aback.

"Second brother, aren't you studying in town? Why are you back? We're enough for you two in the fields, don't come down."

Song Hai knew that Song Ziyuan had never done any physical labor. They had always only let him study and not let him do farm work. Now that he saw the two of them about to get down, he immediately stopped them.

Song Zhili didn't actually know how to do farm work, and she had never done any of it before. She came over just to see if there was anything she could do to help.

So Song Zhili and Song Ziyuan ignored Song Hai's advice and went to the fields together to help them harvest rice.

Song Zhili only bent over for a short while before her back started to ache terribly. She stood up and gently rubbed her back.

I couldn't help but admire Hu Cuicui and the others. She could only work for a short while before she couldn't take it anymore. Hu Cuicui and the others have been doing this kind of work in this place for many years. It must be really tiring.

Hu Cuicui happened to see Song Zhili rubbing her lower back. She walked over from a short distance away and patted Song Zhili on the shoulder.

"Da Ya, if you're tired, go home and rest for a while. Don't work anymore."

Seeing the heartache in Hu Cuicui's eyes, Song Zhili nodded, "Alright, then I'll go home and cook for you."

Song Zhili knew she couldn't do these things, so she didn't force herself. Hu Cuicui also asked Song Ziyuan to go back with Song Zhili, but Song Ziyuan shook his head and continued working in silence.

Seeing this, Hu Cuicui said nothing more and continued to cut rice with her sickle.

On her way back, Song Zhili passed by Wu Jianguo's house and heard a mournful cry coming from inside. Several women were gathered at the door of his house.

Judging from their attire, Song Zhili knew they had just come from the fields and probably came to see what was going on after hearing the commotion at Wu Jianguo's house.

Song Zhili also joined the group from behind. When she saw Zhang Shi among the group of aunties, she went up to her and patted her on the shoulder.

"Aunt Zhang, I hear someone crying inside. What's going on in there?"

When Zhang turned around, she saw Song Zhili and pulled her aside. “Oh dear, what a tragedy! Wu Jianguo died in his home for no reason. Liu has been away from the village for the past two months. She just came back today and found Wu Jianguo dead in the house. She’s crying inside now.”

Song Zhili was somewhat surprised to hear that they had only just discovered Wu Jianguo's body. The poison she had given Wu Jianguo earlier should have only given him about five days to live.

They were building a house before, so they didn't notice the commotion here. She thought they had already discovered his body and buried him quietly.

It's strange that Liu Shi didn't return for two months, and Song Zhili hasn't seen Sun Taohua since she became pregnant.

This is really strange!

“Aunt Zhang, such a big thing has happened, but I haven’t seen Sun Taohua. It seems like I haven’t seen her since she told me she was pregnant.”

As they were talking, Song Zhili suddenly remembered that he had taken Wu Jianguo's pulse earlier and found that he couldn't conceive at all. So whose child was Sun Taohua carrying? Could it be that she had eloped with someone?

"Oh, yes, I hadn't noticed until you said it. It seems like we haven't seen any peach blossoms since they left last time."

Zhang hadn't noticed this problem before, but now that Song Zhili brought it up, she realized that she hadn't seen Sun Taohua for a long time.

"Alright, alright, it's getting late. Don't think about it too much. Let's not worry about their family matters. Daya, you need to go back and cook too, right? Come on, let's go together."

Seeing that there was nothing else to see, Zhang took Song Zhili and left together.

Once Song Zhili returned home, she put the matter out of her mind and started making lunch for everyone.

They all heard about it on their way back, and they discussed it at the dinner table.

Only Song Zidong knew that Song Zhili had poisoned him. The last time Song Zhili mentioned this matter, she whispered it in Song Zidong's ear, and he did not tell anyone else about it.

Upon hearing this, he glanced at Song Zhili and saw that she was calm and expressionless, so he lowered his head and ate his meal in silence.

When Ji Qingqing heard this news, she breathed a sigh of relief.

A few days later, when Liu held a funeral for Wu Jianguo, Song Zhili saw Sun Taohua in the funeral procession.

When Song Zhili saw Sun Taohua this time, she almost didn't recognize her. Sun Taohua was a little rounder than before, and her face was fuller, making her look better than before.

She had light makeup on, wore a green cotton dress, and a jade bracelet on her wrist.

"Little sister, have you noticed that my cousin looks a little different? She seems to be prettier than before, but her husband is dead, so why is she still dressed up so extravagantly?"

Ji Qingqing found it increasingly strange. Logically, if someone in the family had passed away, shouldn't one wear white? Why was she wearing green and standing out so much in the crowd?

What surprised Ji Qingqing the most was that when Liu saw her dressed like this, she didn't ask her to change her clothes!

In fact, Song Zhili also found this strange. Logically speaking, Sun Taohua was so afraid of Liu Shi before, but today, in her opinion, Sun Taohua seemed to not care about Liu Shi at all.

"Can you hurry up? You're dawdling like that, I don't know what you're doing walking so slowly!"

As Song Zhili and Ji Qingqing were talking, they heard Sun Taohua angrily rebuking Liu Shi. Sun Taohua's tone was quite harsh.

But they looked at Liu again, thinking she would get angry, but Liu didn't say a word and walked forward silently with her head down.
