Xie Huan was woken up by a torrent of curses. Her head hurt so much that it felt like it was going to explode. She wanted to open her eyes, but she didn't have the strength to do so. Her eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
"Stop fooling around. Steward Li is waiting for you. If you miss the auspicious time and spoil my plan, I won't spare you!" It was Old Madam Xie who spoke. She stood in the room with a sullen face, staring at Zhao Xinglan who was kneeling on the ground.
Hearing this, Zhao Xinglan shook her head desperately. Her face, which was so thin that it was almost beyond recognition, was full of tears. She knelt on the ground and watched her daughter lying on the bed. Her life was unknown, but she refused to leave.
"Mother, I'm begging you. Huan'er is still alive and she still has a breath left. I beg you to find a doctor to treat Huan'er. Huan'er is too young..."
Zhao Xinglan kept kowtowing with snot and tears. Her forehead was smashed, and her face was covered with blood.
The Old Madam of the Xie Family looked annoyed. She looked up and found that it was getting late, so she had no patience to waste time with Zhao Xinglan.
"She's so cold that she's not dead yet. What are you doing every day?" The Old Madam of the Xie Family said impatiently, "She's dead, so she can still exchange 10 taels of silver for the whole family. What's wrong with that? For her, marrying into the Li family and making a wedding for the son of Rich Li, enjoying the Li family's offerings in the future is also her greatest luck in this life. You have the time to cry now. Why don't you hurry up and clean up for her and put on her wedding clothes?"
When Xie Huan heard this, a strange memory surged into her mind.
It turned out that she had already time-traveled!
Xie Huan used to be a man from the 21st century. His family had been a Feng Shui master for generations, but they had all suffered from five weaknesses and three defects. None of them had a good ending. Xie Huan cherished his life, changed his career, and opened a small supermarket. His life was leisurely and comfortable, but in the end, he still could not change his name. He died early and when he woke up, he became an unknown ancient dynasty, a girl from a small village.
This girl was also called Xie Huan. She grew up in the Fengyang village.
The location of the Fengyang village was remote. It was close to a large mountain and was a famous village nearby. The people of the ancestors all fled here and formed a complex village. Although there were a lot of mountains and fields, most of the villagers were old, weak, women, and children. There were not many strong labor, so they could not earn money even if they had fields.
Xie Huan's father was the second son of the Xie Family, who had been separated from the family for a long time. A few years ago, his father died of illness, and the second branch of the family was so poor that they couldn't afford to part with it. The remaining five members of the family, the old and the young, were all supported by Zhao Xinglan's adopted son. Xiao Changyu supported them and led a poor life.
The little girl had a serious illness a few days ago, and she had no money to cure her.
Zhao Xinglan had no choice but to ask for her mother-in-law's help. However, when the Old Madam of the Xie Family heard about it, she had her eyes on Xie Huan.
It turned out that it was the famous Li family in the town. Their son had died early and wanted to find a suitable match for the wedding. If there was a suitable match, the Li family was willing to pay ten taels of silver as a betrothal gift.
Ten taels of silver!
No matter how diligent the Xie Family was, they could only earn one or two taels of silver a year, which was a huge sum of money!
There were still a few children in the Xie Family who needed to be supported. The boy had a lot to eat and drink, and the Xie Family had always been short of money. If he could get ten taels of silver, it would completely improve the Xie Family's current situation!
For the sake of 10 taels of silver, the Old Madam of the Xie Family dragged Xie Huan all the time and did not give her any treatment. Instead, she dragged the little girl to death.
This morning, when he heard that the little girl had failed, he ran to the door with his eldest wife and third sister-in-law, wanting to take Xie Huan to the Li family for the marriage.
Zhao Xinglan refused to let go of her daughter.
The Old Madam of the Xie Family glared at her harshly. She hated herself for not knowing what was good for her. What was there to be unwilling to exchange for ten taels of silver for a dead person who had lost money?
She glanced at her eldest brother's wife, Wang Cuihua, and her third brother's wife, Liu Ruyu.
"You two go and help the girl change into a wedding dress. Hurry up and send her to the Li family. Don't waste the auspicious time."
