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

A handful of boats were scattered along the shore.

Those warehouses that were once filled with goods and bustling with people are now empty. Occasionally, you can see a few workers carrying the last of the goods, their movements slow and helpless.

Looking along the streets of the pier, one can see that every old shop has a "Closed for Business" sign hanging in front of it.

The once bustling dock, teeming with ships, is now deserted.

In my previous life, the flames of war didn't spread so quickly at this time.

Su Li had thought that with her memories from her past life, she could control some of the development of events, but now it seems that everything has irreversibly changed for the worse.

"Is all of this truly beyond change?"

She looked up into the distance; the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a gust of cold wind blew by, causing Su Li to shiver.

"Have you heard? The war in the south is very intense! And those princes in the north are even more restless, fighting fiercely for the throne!"

The traveling merchant, his face covered in a thick beard, shouted indignantly.

As he spoke, he slammed the teacup he was holding onto the table, splashing a lot of tea.

"That's for sure! The current emperor's throne was never legitimately obtained. Do you think his brothers wouldn't be envious? Every single one of them is eager to seize the throne!"

The lean old man next to him echoed his sentiments, his eyes full of disdain.

"Shh—" His companion quickly put his index finger to his lips, looked around warily, and whispered, "Keep your voices down! Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble by saying that!"

As he spoke, he made a throat-slitting gesture, his face filled with fear.

These words reached Su Li's ears, and she paused involuntarily as she wiped the table.

These traveling merchants, who travel all over the country year-round, naturally have the best access to information.

In her previous life, she had heard some rumors about the royal family, but most of them were hearsay and difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

All that is known is that the current emperor's methods of ascending the throne were not honorable, which led to the constant struggle between his brothers after his accession.

The emperor was determined to pass the throne to his most outstanding ninth son, but in this chaotic situation, the ninth prince would undoubtedly become the target of everyone's attacks and be hunted down by various forces.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have ended up near their remote little mountain village in her previous life, and would have been rescued by Su Zhen—the female protagonist in the original book.

"Girl, another bowl of noodles, and two ounces of beef!" a traveling merchant shouted at the top of his lungs.

Su Li was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses. She forced a smile and hurriedly replied, "Okay, I understand. Please wait a moment, sir!"

She turned and walked toward the kitchen, but her sense of crisis grew stronger.

In this chaotic world, there is no longer room for them to peacefully run their small businesses.

Despite all the effort and thought she had put in, she was still unable to stop fate from bringing the male and female protagonists together.

Everything she did was futile, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Saving their father was already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune, but who knows what even more terrible things await them next...

It wasn't even noon yet, and the dock was already deserted with hardly anyone around.

Su Li stood at the shop entrance, looking at the nearby shops that she used to fight with fiercely, now all of which were closed and sealed with tape. She couldn't help but sigh.

She made up her mind and turned to her mother and Taohua, who were still busy in the shop, and said, "Taohua, sister-in-law, and mother, I'm planning to close the shop."

As Mrs. He was bending down to clear the dishes, she heard this and looked up in surprise, almost dropping the bowl in her hand. She stammered, "..."

"This, this... are we really going to close down? This is too sudden..."

Her eyes were filled with disbelief.

Although the dock business is getting worse day by day, there is still some income. In any case, it is worse than having to stay in the village to farm.

"Yes, Li'er, this shop is the culmination of our hard work over so long!"

Madam Hu slowly stepped forward, grabbed Su Li's hand, and her voice was choked with emotion.

"We put so much effort and suffered so much to open this shop. It's really hard for me to close it down now."

Su Li sighed helplessly, gently patted her mother's hand, and softly comforted her:

“Mother, as you can see, the situation is becoming increasingly volatile. Those old shops at the docks that have been open for more than ten years are closing down without warning. If we keep trying to hold on like this, it will only be a waste of our energy. We need to find another way out.”

Peach Blossom's eyes flickered, filled with disappointment and helplessness. She sighed and lamented:

"I never imagined that a war could destroy everything. But Li'er, whatever decision you make, I will support you. You've always been decisive. If there's anything you need me to do in the future, just let me know."

Su Li looked at the peach blossoms, a hint of relief flashing in her eyes.

"There's always a way out. Before we opened this shop, we were just farming in the village. Who would have thought we'd be able to open such a shop at the dock?"

"Although we're not running the shops at the dock right now, we might not be able to find better ways. The situation is chaotic right now, so we should go home and lay low for a while."

"As long as we work together and are not afraid of hardship, life will definitely get better and better!"

Having enough food on hand means you won't panic.

Although it hasn't been long since I opened the shop, I've already saved up a considerable amount of money.

Mrs. Hu stepped forward, embraced the children, and gently patted their backs.

“Li’er is right. Staying safe and sound is the most important thing. Let’s close the shop then, and we can talk about it again after this period is over.”

The wind on the dock grew increasingly fierce, making the shop signs along the street rustle loudly.

In the distance, dark clouds filled the sky, as if foreshadowing an even greater storm to come.

On the southern battlefield, smoke filled the air, shouts of battle were deafening, countless soldiers fell in pools of blood, and civilians were displaced, their cries echoing through the heavens.

Within the northern capital, the princes were each vying for power, engaging in open and covert struggles, causing widespread anxiety in the court. Ministers, in order to protect themselves, were choosing sides.

The entire country was plunged into chaos and turmoil, on the verge of collapse...

There weren't many things in the shop. Su Li quickly and carefully washed the pots, pans, and bowls, then neatly stored them in the cupboard.

Then they carefully brought the banner and the large pot that were fluttering in the wind at the door into the house.

With a click, the locks on the front and back gates closed, and the shop that held countless hours of their hard work officially shut down.

Before leaving, Su Li went to the dock, found Manager Yu, and greeted him respectfully. Then, she skillfully drove the mule cart, carrying her mother, sister-in-law, and Tao Hua, slowly heading towards the Su family's home.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't sad, but in this chaotic world, what could be more important than life?

Everyone remained silent throughout the journey, with only the creaking of the mule cart wheels breaking the oppressive tranquility.
