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

Su Li held Tao Hua's hand tightly, her eyes also becoming a little moist:

"Peach Blossom, I'll remember your kindness. We'll definitely live a prosperous and happy life together from now on!"

The heavy snow fell silently.

When I woke up early in the morning, the entire small mountain village was shrouded in a pure white blanket.

The staggered rooftops and snow-covered branches complement each other, creating an elegant ink painting.

The dock was still bustling with activity.

Ships came and went in an endless stream, and the shouts of loading and unloading cargo rose and fell. Workers, their breath steaming in the air, carried large and small bags and moved through the crowd, completely ignoring the snowflakes falling on their shoulders.

The snow fell heavily, and the number of people on the dock gradually dwindled.

After closing up shop, Tao Hua and He Shi, thinking of their families, left first, while Su Li stayed behind alone because of the shop's affairs.

Looking at the snow falling all around her, she couldn't help but frown slightly.

I was originally planning to get the shop ready in the next few days, add bricks and tiles, and paint the walls so I could move in before the New Year.

With this snowfall, it's inevitable that things will be postponed for a few more days...

But when she stood in front of the shop she had just bought, her mood suddenly became cheerful.

From now on, this will be their place of residence at the dock!

The shop was small, with only an old door panel and a rusty lock. The wooden window frame next to the door looked even more dilapidated in the snowy light.

No wonder this shop has been vacant for several years in such a busy place as the dock.

These things will need to be repaired in the future, which will take a lot of effort.

What Su Li was most satisfied with was the small backyard connected to the shop.

Although the backyard floor tiles were cracked in many places, some bricks at the corners of the walls were peeling off, and several pieces of the wall were missing, making it look somewhat precarious in the cold wind, the space was spacious enough to store a lot of goods after a donkey cart was parked.

Thanks to the steward's help in making connections, she was able to acquire the small backyard without spending half the money.

Su Li's gaze swept over every corner of the shop, her eyes sparkling.

Once I get the deed, I must rush home immediately to tell my parents the good news and let them share in my joy!

With that thought in mind, Su Li took a deep breath, rolled up her sleeves, and began cleaning up the clutter in the room...

After she finished her work and was about to go home, she was shocked to find that the snow was getting heavier and heavier.

Along the way, the wind whipped up snowflakes, which flew wildly. The only path into the village was buried under thick snow, making it impossible to distinguish between the road and the potholes.

As winter set in, the villagers stayed indoors and hibernated, and there wasn't a soul in sight on the road.

All around was silent, except for the whistling wind.

Su Li trudged forward with difficulty, each step carefully taken, for fear of slipping and tumbling down the hillside.

What should have been a half-hour journey took her more than an hour, leaving her drenched in sweat and still quite a distance from home.

As dusk settled, the twilight descended like a heavy black cloth.

Su Li was extremely anxious and was gritting her teeth as she struggled to continue her journey. If she couldn't get home before dark, it would be dangerous, and she didn't want to spend the night in the forest.

The more anxious he became, the more unsteady his steps became.

Su Li wasn't paying attention and slipped, falling straight into the snowdrift.

Just then, a pair of hands reached out from behind her, catching her bundle as it nearly slipped, and gripping her arm tightly, helping her regain her balance.

Su Li's heart skipped a beat, and she almost instantly shook off the hand behind her and jumped away.

"Who goes there?" Su Li shouted.

Turning around, she saw a man in a green robe, tall and slender, with a handsome and refined face, gazing at her with a smile in his eyes. He was Lin Yuanzhou, the eldest son of the Lin family in the village.

A look of surprise flashed in Su Li's eyes, and the guarded expression on her face was instantly replaced by a smile: "Brother Yuanzhou, why are you back?"

Lin Yuanzhou patted the snow off his shoulder and said with concern:

"I rushed back after the academy had a few days off. Look how heavy the snow is; it's dangerous for you to walk alone. Come on, I'll take you home; it's getting late."

As he spoke, he naturally slung Su Li's bundle over his shoulder and then turned to shield her from the wind and snow.

"Okay, let's go quickly. Thank you, Brother Yuanzhou..."

Su Li nodded and followed along casually, chattering about interesting things in the village all the way.

Lin Yuanzhou and Su Xiangyang are the same age. Both of them are introverted and have liked to play together since they were young. They even studied together in the village's private school for a few years.

Therefore, he and Su Li were quite familiar with each other.

The Lin family originally had another daughter, a few months older than Su Li, but when she was ten years old, this poor girl suddenly fell ill and passed away. Lin Yuanzhou was heartbroken for a long time because of this, and afterwards he became even more silent.

Later, Su Xiangyang went home after school to help his parents with chores, while Lin Yuanzhou went to study at the town's academy, and they gradually lost contact with each other.

In his previous life, before the Su family suffered a calamity, Lin Yuanzhou set off for the prefectural city to participate in the provincial examination, and never returned.

Seeing Lin Yuanzhou again now, the feeling of being in another world welled up in Su Li's heart once more.

Lin Yuanzhou responded with a smile from time to time, his gaze always lingering on Su Li for a while longer. Occasionally, when he raised his hand to help Su Li clear away the branches blocking her way, his fingers would tighten slightly, as if afraid that the branches would bounce off and hit her.

Su Li was so excited to share that she didn't notice anything amiss.

Halfway there, the two encountered Su Xiangyang and Madam He, who were anxiously searching for Su Li.

Su Xiangyang, panting heavily, said with a worried expression, "We've finally found you! We were so worried about you in this snowy weather!"

Madam He chimed in, her gaze falling on Lin Yuanzhou beside Su Li, a hint of inquiry in her eyes: "And this is...?"

Su Xiangyang then looked up and examined the person in front of him. Upon seeing him, a hint of surprise appeared on his face: "Yuanzhou, you're back! It's been so long since we last met. Thank you so much!"

He raised his hand and patted Lin Yuanzhou's arm, and the two smiled at each other.

Lin Yuanzhou politely cupped his hands in greeting: "This must be my sister-in-law, right? I just happened to find Li'er trapped in the snow, so I thought I'd give her a ride. Now that you're here, I'll take my leave."

Su Xiangyang thanked her profusely, and Su Li waved to him:

"Brother Yuanzhou, be careful on your way back!"

Her gaze was pure and open, without any ulterior motives, as she watched Lin Yuanzhou leave until he disappeared into the vast snow.

Upon returning to the Su family home, as soon as they stepped through the courtyard gate, they heard bursts of laughter coming from the main house.

Su Li looked around curiously and found that the room was crowded with a group of unfamiliar faces. She paused and frowned slightly.

He noticed Su Li's subtle movements, turned to the side, and whispered in her ear:

"It's the Wang family. They've come to discuss marriage. The two families are going to discuss the wedding date for Su Yao next year..."
