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

Her mind was a complete mess.

Your Highness?

Could Pei Xiao be some kind of royal nobleman?

But if it's true, why would it be hidden in this small mountain village?

Could it be that he really has some connection with the Ninth Prince...?

Su Li didn't dare to think about it too much. She shook her head vigorously to suppress all these chaotic thoughts. "Saving people is the priority now!"

She ran all the way and finally managed to bring the mule cart over.

Pei Lanxin took Pei Xiao into the car, and they sped home.

Su Li came to the stream alone, her hands still trembling. She slowly took off her blood-stained coat and mechanically scrubbed the blood off it in the clear stream water.

After washing the clothes, she hung them on a tree branch and then went back to the field to do some work.

Once the clothes were dry, she put them on and slowly walked home with heavy steps, her back view full of worries and exhaustion.

Su Li carried a hoe and walked home along the winding path.

The village was exceptionally quiet in the evening, with only the occasional bark of a dog.

As they walked, a burst of shouting and cursing broke the tranquility.

"Who the hell stole two of my chickens?!"

"And all the eggs are gone too!"

"Are you trying to kill me?!"

The old woman stood at the gate of her own yard, yelling and cursing.

His face was wrinkled with anger, his eyes were wide open, and he was waving a bamboo stick in his hand as if the chicken thief was right in front of him.

Several neighbors gathered around, shaking their heads and sighing.

Su Li frowned, but didn't pay much attention.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw her cousin Su Yao sitting on the stone bench. After not seeing her for a long time, Su Yao had lost a lot of weight, her cheeks were sunken, and she looked haggard and weak.

Su Li looked at Su Yao, opened her mouth, but said nothing.

Su Yao noticed Su Li's gaze, glanced at her coldly with disdain in her eyes, and then turned her head away.

Her hair swayed gently with her movements, but her back remained ramrod straight, exuding a stubbornness and aloofness.

The family sat around the dining table, the food steaming hot, but the atmosphere was like an ice cellar in winter, oppressive and suffocating.

Su Li sat quietly to the side, picking at her food with a detached expression, watching her uncle's family chatter away as if she were watching a poorly performed show.

Uncle Su cleared his throat, a fake smile on his face, and spoke first, "Father, Mother, I'm thinking that our family wants to move back to town."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Su's face instantly darkened. She slammed her chopsticks down and said unhappily, "Go back to town? We're living perfectly well at home, why would we go back to town?"

Uncle Su remained calm and composed, his gentle demeanor unchanged, and continued:

“Mother, listen to me. Xiangming is going to the prefectural city to take the imperial examination soon. He needs to make some preparations, right? There are many bookstores in town where you can buy all kinds of study materials and even find a tutor to ask for advice.”

"Besides, Yao'er has recently come to her senses, but her body has been severely depleted in the past month or two, so she needs to be properly cared for."

"These two things alone, without my wife's help, I, a grown man, really can't handle them."

Uncle Su shook his head slightly as he spoke, his face full of helplessness.

Grandma Su frowned and snorted coldly, "Is your child so precious? There's so much chores around the house. If your daughter-in-law leaves, who will do them? Do you expect this old woman to serve you?"

At this moment, Zhou, who had been silent until now, immediately chimed in, her face beaming with smiles, completely devoid of her usual harshness.

“Mother, look at what you’re saying. How could we bear to let you take care of us? We just have no other choice. The children’s father works at the rice shop in town and is so busy that he doesn’t have time to take care of these things. If I don’t go back, the children will be left without anyone to look after them. Xiangming’s exam is a big deal.”

Uncle Su chimed in, "Yes, Father, Mother, we're just thinking of the children."

Grandpa Su listened quietly, his gaze sweeping across everyone's faces, but he frequently looked at Su Li.

Su Li, however, seemed oblivious, keeping her head down and focusing on eating silently, ignoring all the words.

In the end, it's all just talk to himself; he's just trying to get me to spend money again.

Seeing this, Uncle Su sheepishly withdrew his gaze and turned his attention to Su Qingfeng, a glint of calculation flashing in his eyes.

Grandpa Su put down his chopsticks and bowl, and made the final decision, "Alright, since you've made up your minds, then go back!"

Grandma Su wanted to say something more, but a look from the old man made her swallow her words.

"However, your Uncle Zhao's youngest son is getting married soon. We have already promised to help them, so we must keep our word. Eldest son, your family can go back after the Zhao family's wedding is over."

Uncle Su quickly smiled and agreed, "Dad, don't worry, I've been keeping this in mind."

After finishing his meal, Grandpa Su beckoned to Su Qingfeng, signaling him to come to the side.

The two walked to the corridor, and Old Master Su, with a solemn expression, spoke earnestly:

"Fourth brother, your eldest brother's family is going back to town. They need money for their travel expenses, their child's exam preparation, and their daughter's health care. You know they're short on cash. Could you help them out?"

Su Qingfeng's eyes flickered, and he hesitated before saying, "Dad, of course I want to help, but I've only earned a little money from doing odd jobs, and it's not much..."

Grandpa Su frowned and said in a more serious tone, "Your eldest brother's family is in trouble, and it is only right for you, as their younger brother, to help them. Our family must prioritize the greater good and not let outsiders laugh at us."

"No! Father, you've misunderstood!"

Su Qingfeng waved his hands repeatedly and hurriedly explained, "Originally, I planned to save up more money and give it to you all at once. Since you need the money urgently, I'll talk to the employer tomorrow and settle the wages in advance!"

"However, I have some left here, so I'll give it to you first..."

After saying that, he went inside and took out the several hundred coins he had worked hard to earn, handing them to Old Master Su without missing a single coin.

Only then did a hint of satisfaction appear in Old Master Su's eyes.

Su Li watched from afar as her grandfather and father talked under the eaves.

Seeing her father enter the house and take out the purse containing his hard-earned money, she did not step forward to stop him, but simply stood there quietly, her eyes filled with disappointment and disdain.

Grandpa only knew how to exploit the four branches of the family in various ways. Whenever the eldest uncle's family had a problem, he would come to them to ask for money.

But the father, being blindly filial, let him do as he pleased; it was truly a case of one willing to hit and the other willing to be hit.

Since her father's heart was never with them, Su Li would no longer waste her efforts.

She would no longer go out of her way to buy cloth to make new clothes for her father, nor would she stay up all night to sew shoe soles for him.

Since Father only cares about his eldest uncle's family, let Su Xiangming and Su Yao take care of him!

Soon the day of the wedding arrived, and the Zhao family seemed to be permeated with festive colors.

Inside and outside the house, large red lanterns hung high, and red cloths draped from the eaves to the doorway, swaying gently in the breeze.

A spacious shed was set up in the courtyard, with ten tables neatly arranged inside, and the bowls and chopsticks on the tables placed in an orderly manner.

Zhou was dressed in brand-new clothes, and she looked exceptionally presentable.

Her hair was neatly combed and adorned with a delicate flower, giving her an air of solemnity yet festive joy.

She stood at the door, holding a large plate of wedding candies, enthusiastically handing them out to everyone she met, greeting them with a beaming smile.

"Oh my, you've finally arrived! Please come in and share in this joyous occasion!"
