A transmigrated woman ruined my whole family; I was reborn, seized a spatial ability, and had a full

“Sister-in-law, this is the money left over after we paid for Dad’s medical treatment yesterday. There are still a little over three taels left. The situation at home is all over the place. My eldest and second uncles are eyeing us covetously, and my grandparents are biased. My parents are soft-hearted, Asheng is still young, and my eldest brother is a mute who only knows how to work hard. In the future, we will have to rely on you to take care of the family.”

Madam He panicked: "No, little sister, I'm not as decisive as you. You should keep this money!"

Su Li stepped forward and pressed down on He Shi's hand, her words earnest:

“Sister-in-law, we are family. You and my eldest brother are the pillars of the family now. If you and my eldest brother keep the money, our family will be more secure, and my uncles will not dare to bully us easily! Besides, with my uncles watching over us, it is not safe for the money to stay with me. Please accept it.”

“Little sister…” Madam He stared at Su Li for a moment, then took a deep breath and finally made up her mind: “Alright, I’ll take the money!”

As evening approached and the sun began to set, Aunt Zhou, along with her daughter Su Yao, finally returned carrying large and small bags.

The mother and daughter cursed and grumbled at the cramped room while helplessly unpacking their bundle and tidying up their clothes.

"I really don't know what Dad was thinking. Why did he have to make us come back to suffer?"

Looking at the dark beams overhead and the floor riddled with holes from rats, Su Yao felt a chill run down her spine, and her spoiled temper flared up instantly.

"Mother, please ask Father properly later. Don't delay my embroidery of my wedding dress. In previous years, we never needed to go back to the countryside to work. Is Fourth Uncle's injury really that serious?"

The fiery red wedding dress was neatly laid out on the bed. Most wedding dresses for daughters of ordinary families were made of coarse cloth, but Su Yao's half-embroidered wedding dress was made of the finest silk. It was smooth to the touch, as bright as the sunset, and had a luxurious luster. It was clearly extraordinary.

Su Zhen had just reached the door when she was dazzled by the exquisite wedding dress. She paused for a moment, then spoke:

"Aunt, Grandma sent me to call you to the main room for dinner!"

The two people inside the room stiffened. Zhou glared at her daughter, then immediately turned around and went to greet her, blocking Su Zhen's probing gaze: "Oh, thank you for your hard work, Zhen'er. We'll go right away, we'll go right away..."

The Su family's meal tonight was very lavish.

To show his respect for Uncle Su, Grandpa Su specially instructed Grandma Su to kill a chicken, stir-fry a large plate of chives and eggs, and steam a tray of white flour buns.

Add a few seasonal vegetables, and it's almost as good as a New Year's Eve dinner.

Looking at the passable food on the table, Zhou's resentment subsided somewhat.

Su Li took two steamed buns, ladled out a large bowl of chicken soup, and deftly scooped out two pieces of chicken despite the old lady's piercing gaze before leisurely returning to her room.

Grandma Su was so angry her heart was bleeding, but since the old man was in a good mood today, she really didn't want to offend him.

Hmph, we'll settle the score later!

"Sis, you still haven't told me what this is?"

Inside the room, Su Qingfeng sipped soup from his rice bowl, while Hu Shi sat by her husband's bedside mending clothes. The flickering candlelight cast long shadows of Su Li and her younger brother.

Su Xiangsheng took out a broken ceramic jar from behind him, tore off the cloth sealing it, and the jar was full of round beetles.

The dark brown carapace seemed to be edged with gold; at first glance, it looked like a pile of copper coins.

Su Li took the pottery jar and examined it against the light: "This is called Golden-edged Earthworm. It's a medicinal herb that's used to treat bruises and sprains. Father's medicine contains this herb."

A fluffy little head peered forward, and Su Xiangsheng whispered, "Sister, is this what you found to treat Dad's illness? There are many more under the rock."

"No, it's not for Dad." Su Li said brightly, leaning close to her younger brother's ear and whispering, "It's for selling! Do you want to make money with your sister?"

"Really, sis!"

Su Li nodded, her eyes reassuring: "Of course, when have I ever lied to you? However, this matter must be kept a secret from the family for now, not even from Mom and Dad, understand?"

Su Xiangsheng's face flushed with excitement, and he couldn't help but giggle. He quickly covered his mouth and nodded vigorously.

"Come on, there are a few more medicinal herbs here. Let me teach you how to identify them..."

In fact, Su Li had no idea which medicinal herbs were in her father's medicine.

She hadn't read many medical books and knew very little about medicinal herbs; all of this stemmed from a painful memory from her past life.

Around the same time in my previous life, the southern border was in turmoil, the situation was tense, and there were countless wounded soldiers on the battlefield, creating an urgent need for a large amount of medicinal herbs.

For a time, pharmacies bought all kinds of medicinal herbs, whether good or bad, precious or common, as long as they could be used, and the prices were much higher than in previous years.

With this, Su Zhen not only made a fortune, but also gained a lot of attention in front of everyone, and became increasingly bossy towards them at home.

She only cared about gaining praise and fame for herself, completely disregarding the fact that her flamboyant and unrestrained behavior had already aroused the envy of many people in the village.

Those who harbored resentment not only spread all sorts of unpleasant rumors behind the scenes, but also repeatedly tripped up the Su family, making the entire Su family's life miserable.

But so what?

Su Zhen is the main character in this story, so these unpleasant things won't happen to her. Naturally, cannon fodder characters like Su Li will bear these unwarranted pains for her...

That night, none of the Su family members slept well.

Inside the main room, the elderly Su couple tossed and turned in bed.

Grandpa Su was worried about the autumn harvest. The eldest son had done a terrible job today and probably wouldn't be able to help much with the harvest. In previous years, it was the fourth son's family who did the work, but this year the fourth son was injured in an accident, so the family was probably in trouble.

He had long sensed the discord within the family, but the eldest son always held a special place in his heart. In addition, with his eldest grandson Xiangming being a good student, the Su family would eventually be handed over to the eldest son.

However, when he thought of the fourth son's children, Old Master Su felt a vague unease. He couldn't quite put his finger on whether it was disappointment or anger, but he felt that these children didn't seem to care about the family as much as before...

"Old woman, hand me your pipe." Old Master Su sighed, temporarily putting these chaotic thoughts behind him.

"Why are you having a seizure in the middle of the night?" Old Mrs. Su glared at him. "Weren't you happy that your eldest son's family came back? Why are you all pale-faced now?"

Grandpa Su took the pipe but didn't say anything, which made Grandma Su, who was already unhappy, even more upset.

"If you ask me, the eldest daughter-in-law is really outrageous! A woman who doesn't serve her husband and in-laws properly, and even made arrangements for the younger generation's marriage without informing us. If Zhen'er hadn't seen it, who knows how long she would have kept it a secret?"

Even the most obedient and well-behaved fourth son's family started to become restless. If this continued, the family would turn upside down!

"Alright, it's just a wedding dress. Yao'er is seventeen this year, it's time for her to embroider her wedding dress. How can you say she didn't inform us? Besides, wasn't it you who arranged Yao'er's marriage to the Wang family boy? What's there to be unhappy about? Go to sleep."

Grandma Su opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but seeing that the old man had turned his back, she could only shut her mouth in resentment.

She had heard from Zhen'er that the wedding dress was shimmering and colorful, clearly made of the finest silk, and a single piece cost more than ten taels of silver. The Wang family, like their Su family, were just farmers who toiled in the fields; where would they get so much silver?

There must be something fishy going on here!

In the end, Zhen'er is the most considerate. In this family, only the second son's family cares about their old woman.

As she was drifting off to sleep, a clanging and clattering sound suddenly came from the east room, startling her.

Before we could figure out what was going on, another sharp shout of cursing echoed through the courtyard.

Grandma Su finally understood; it was her eldest daughter-in-law's voice...
