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

Behind the wall, the large house was in complete chaos; even the oil lamp on the table was destroyed.

Uncle Su quickly straightened the oil lamp, his face full of anger: "What are you doing in the middle of the night? What if you wake up our parents?"

"Have you lost your mind? You were completely fooled by a little girl, and you even dragged my daughter and me into this mess!"

Zhou's face flushed red, her chest heaving violently, and her heart burning with rage: "I think you've become so carefree that you can't even handle a maid!"

"Alright, alright!" Uncle Su paced impatiently around the room. "Things have come to this point, what else can we do? Who knew this girl was full of bad intentions? Just stop talking!"

Zhou leaned on the corner of the table, taking a few deep breaths to barely suppress her anger.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the west room across the way, where the lights were already off and everyone was asleep. A sinister, cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.

"You arrogant little hussy, I'll skin you alive and teach you a lesson..."

"Bang, bang, bang, bang—"

Early in the morning, just as dawn was breaking, Uncle Su and his family were awakened from their sleep by a series of urgent knocks on the door.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, eldest daughter-in-law! What time is it? Still sleeping? What a lazy old woman who knows how to enjoy life! Do you expect me, this old woman, to cook for you? Get up right now!"

Outside the door came Grandma Su's booming voice. She had been anxiously waiting all night and was finally looking forward to dawn.

The eldest son's wife has been living a life of luxury in town for too long, and has even forgotten the rules of serving others. She's the first one I need to discipline!

Uncle Su, still half asleep, nudged Zhou Shi beside him, "Did you hear what your mother said? Anyway, we won't be staying in the countryside for long, so just go along with your mother..."

Zhou reluctantly got out of bed, cursing Old Lady Su in her heart and blaming Su Li for the whole mess.

Grandma Su was directing her eldest daughter-in-law to cook, and her second daughter-in-law to clean the chicken and duck coops. Looking at her fourth daughter-in-law sweeping the yard, a brilliant idea suddenly popped into her head…

After the meal, Su Xiangsheng picked up a bamboo pole and went to release the ducks. Before leaving, he didn't forget to sling his little basket over his shoulder and gave Su Li a confident look.

He hadn't forgotten his promise to his sister regarding the medicinal herbs!

Su Li smiled and waved to him, then picked up her basket and followed Su Xiangyang and He Shi. The three of them arrived at a cornfield at the foot of the mountain.

The corn on this acre of land is an important part of the Su family's staple food.

Although the land is a bit barren near the foot of the mountain, we can still harvest at least 200 jin (100 kg) of corn every year. The remaining corn stalks can be used to feed chickens and ducks, and the dried corn cobs can be kept for firewood in winter.

However, harvesting corn is a tough job.

The corn leaves are sharp on both sides; if you're not careful, they can easily leave bloody scratches on your face and arms, causing a burning pain. And the corn stalks are no pushover either; they lean and stubble in the ground, and if you step on them, they can easily pierce through your shoe sole and embed themselves in your foot.

Every year at this time, the corn harvesting work is always done by the fourth branch of the family, and Su Li has suffered a lot since she was a child.

"Let's get to work while the sun isn't too high." Su Xiangyang tightened his cuffs and plunged into the cornfield, hunching over as he moved swiftly and efficiently among the corn.

With her mind focused on picking herbs, Su Li's hands moved swiftly.

As the sun gradually rises, it relentlessly scorches the earth, making the heat unbearable.

Before long, sweat soaked through their clothes, and the salty sweat flowed into their eyes and mouths, causing the tiny cuts from the leaves to sting.

But no one intended to stop. It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky and it was almost noon that the three of them finally trudged to the shade of a tree to rest. Hu would bring them lunch at noon, so they didn't need to go back.

"Sister-in-law, what happened to your foot?"

Su Li noticed with her sharp eyes that He Shi's socks were slightly reddish.

Ignoring He's attempts to dodge, Su Li quickly removed her shoes and socks, only to discover that He's foot was indeed cut and bleeding profusely, clearly from being pricked in the ground earlier.

"It's nothing, just a prick, it's fine! Where are you going, little sister? Little sister!"

Su Xiangyang stared blankly at his wife's sunburned face and injured foot, a sharp pain shooting through his heart: "Yan Hong, why didn't you tell me? It's my fault for being useless, making you suffer..."

"I'm fine. Everyone gets hurt while working. I'm not that delicate."

He turned to meet her husband's eyes, which were filled with tenderness and self-reproach. As if burned by fire, she quickly lowered her eyes and whispered, "Don't delay the farm work."

"Sister-in-law, crush this and apply it to the wound to stop the bleeding!" Su Li came running back breathlessly, holding a few thistles in her hand.

This is a common wild grass found in fields and along roadsides. It has the effects of stopping bleeding, reducing swelling, and treating external sores.

She carefully applied the herbs to the wound, and Madam He immediately felt a cool sensation. Her eyes welled up with tears: "Little sister, thank you so much."

The three of them drank water and rested under the tree for a while, but Hu Shi still did not come to bring them food.

"Mother might have been held up by something. Let's keep working, maybe she'll bring the food soon."

Su Xiangyang stood up, looked in the direction of the Su family home, told his wife to rest well, and then got out of bed by himself.

During her break, Su Li had already picked dozens of Bletilla striata and Potentilla chinensis. She had thought that medicinal herbs were rare, but she didn't expect that they were everywhere around her.

Especially the small hill behind the village, it's practically a treasure trove hidden in the dust. No wonder Su Zhen earned dozens of taels of silver just by selling medicinal herbs in her previous life.

"Sister-in-law, your foot is still injured, so don't do any work this afternoon. Leave the rest to me and my brother."

Su Li cleaned the medicinal herbs, put them into her basket, and turned to walk towards Su Xiangyang, who was working diligently.

Although the bleeding from He's foot had stopped, the wound had not yet healed, so it was really not advisable for her to walk. She didn't want to just sit there, so she leaned against the tree trunk and peeled corn husks, keeping herself busy for a moment.

The three of them worked and waited until the sun began to set and the entire cornfield was shrouded in the shadow of the mountains, but they still did not see Hu Shi.

Su Li straightened up, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and squinted at the sun on the horizon: "Big brother, it's already past Shenshi (3-5 PM), and it'll be dinner time in another hour. Why hasn't Mother come yet? Could something have happened?"

"Let's go, I'm quitting. I'm going home to check things out." Su Xiangyang felt a vague unease.

Since his father's accident, he suddenly felt an inexplicable fear of his family, as if it were not a home, but a den of dragons and tigers.

After a long day of work, the three of them returned home covered in dust and dirt, but their mother was still nowhere to be seen.

Before she could even take a sip of cold water, Su Li looked around and saw only her aunt, who was busy tending the fire, and her older cousin, Su Yao, who was looking at her with disdain.

"Aunt, do you know where my mother went?"

"Cough! Cough!"

Zhou was nearly choked by the smoke from the stove and fainted. When she saw that it was Su Li, she wanted nothing more than to swing the firewood at her. She rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"I don't know, can't you see I'm busy? Get out of the way!"

That damned old hag is deliberately making things difficult for me; she doesn't have time to deal with that little hussy Su Li right now.

Su Yao pinched her nose and walked over, saying unhappily, "Tsk, what's that smell on you? Go wash up!"

A country girl is indeed a country girl!

"Li'er, Father says he hasn't seen Mother..." Su Xiangyang rushed out of the west room, looking anxious. "Let's go out and look for her!"

"Ugh, it stinks!" Su Yao quickly took a few steps back and tightly covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief. "Stay away from me!"

Su Li had no time to argue with Su Yao; she was worried that something had really happened to her mother.

The unease in my heart reached its peak at this moment.
