It’s still dark in Taohua Village, Xue Mancang.

Liu's screams like a pig being slaughtered came from outside the broken courtyard. She stood at the door of the woodshed with her hands on her waist, pointing at the broken door inside. "You useless little girl, it's already noon and you still don't get up to cook. Do you want to starve everyone to death?"

You are a money-loser. I will sell you sooner or later. Xue Linglong opened her eyes impatiently. It's so early. Every day, we are the ones who cook and wash clothes. Why can't we let the aunts from the second and third uncles do some housework? Is there only our family in this family? They don't want to eat!

It would have been better if she didn't say anything. Her grandmother scolded and said that their family was full of boys, and there was only a girl in your family. If you don't cook, who will cook? Hurry up and cook. After eating, go up the mountain to chop firewood and dig wild vegetables. Xue Linglong didn't want to embarrass her parents. Okay, cook it. You've been cooking for so long, what's the point of this meal?

Oh, I really hope that their family can separate and live on their own. It’s not good for such a large family to rely on just a few of them every day. They will starve to death sooner or later. After she finished cooking, she called this and that to eat, but her second aunt and third aunt were still cursing and swearing for eating so early. After coming out, washing up, they sat at the table and started eating. Then the second uncle’s brother threw down his chopsticks and said, "What kind of meal is this? I don’t want to eat it. The eggs we eat every day are gone, and the meat doesn’t taste this good. Whoever likes to eat it can eat it?"

Her grandmother got up quickly and coaxed them to eat for now! Can we go to the village to buy eggs and meat when we have money next time? When the brothers heard that it was possible, they went to the street to buy us some more candy. After coaxing them to finish the meal, the grandmother glared at Xue Linglong and her mother Fan. What do you want them to do? You can't even cook. Not to mention that you brothers don't want to eat, we can't eat either. If you continue like this, we will drive your family out.

After washing the dishes, Xiu'e from the neighbor's house called her to go to the mountain to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables. She agreed, picked up the basket and sickle at home and left. On the way, Xiu'e saw that she was unhappy and asked what happened. Did your grandmother scold you again? Oh, that's right. She scolded me for getting up late and not cooking quickly. She also said that if I continued like this, she would sell me and couldn't afford to support me.

I didn't know how to go on. I was really afraid that one day I would be sold as my grandmother said. If I could be sold to a good family, that would be fine. But what if I was sold to a family that was poorer than mine? Xiu'e saw that she was very sad, so she said, "Forget it, let's go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables." So they walked to a fork in the road and parted ways. She walked all the way into the mountains, stopping and walking, and picking wild vegetables when she saw them. She walked farther and farther until she saw some red beans. She recognized this as ginseng. She looked left and right and saw no one, so she hurried over to pick the ginseng carefully.

She put the ginseng in a basket and covered it with a cloth, fearing that others would see it. She passed by a cave and heard a splashing sound, so she went to take a look. The water was very clear. She tried to drink it, scooped it up with her hands and took a sip. It was very sweet. This was mountain spring water. She would bottle it and drink it at home someday.

She was in the mountains today, picking wild ginseng and wild vegetables, and then went to pick up some firewood and go home. So they met up at the place Xiu'e said. Xiu'e asked her what she had picked, so she could see it. It's not that she didn't believe Xiu'e would tell her grandmother and others about the ginseng, but she was afraid that she would let it slip, so she didn't let her see it. Oh, okay, let's not see it, let's go home?

After they reached Linglong's yard, they went home. As Linglong just reached the door of her house, she heard the old lady next door scolding that her younger brother had stolen her chicken. Her two younger brothers cried and said, "No, we haven't been out of the house. If they wanted to steal it, it must be the brothers from my second and third uncle's families who went out." When the old lady heard this, she said, "Look, I said it was someone from your family, but you still don't admit it." In fact, the old lady was not sure that the chicken was stolen by their family. It was just that the neighbors usually saw their grandmother scolding them like this, so the old lady bravely scolded them. If it was true, they would take the chicken back, otherwise they would just apologize.

Liu also thought that they were the two children of her old family, so she asked about the two children of the old family. You are still wronging your second uncle and third uncle's brothers. I will beat you to death. Linglong picked up the stick in the yard and started beating them. Linglong saw that this was unacceptable. It would be terrible if her brother was injured. She blocked in front. Her grandmother saw her coming and said, "You little girl, I can beat you. Your family doesn't make money and doesn't want to cook. Sooner or later, I will beat you up or drive you out." So she hit her head with a stick and bled a lot. She fell straight down. The neighbors saw it and said, "Go find a doctor quickly, otherwise it will be bad if the blood keeps flowing." But her grandmother said, "What's the point of treating a little girl? Just let her die. It's a money-losing thing anyway."

The neighbors were afraid when they heard you talking to each other. After all, it's a life. If you don't want to keep it, just find a good family to marry it off. Why bother? Linglong's mother cried out of breath and put her hand under Linglong's nose to see why she was not breathing. Oh, no, the child, her father Linglong is dead. What should we do? Xue's father ran over and shook her. It was really dead. Xue's father hurriedly asked his mother to arrange for Linglong to be buried. When Liu heard that she was really dead, she was scared and arranged it.

At this time, Xue Linglong moved her hands and slowly opened her eyes. Her mind was buzzing. Wasn't she researching vaccines in a laboratory in the 23rd century? A colleague put something in the wrong place and it exploded, and she was blown away. Could it be that her soul was traveling through time and space? A memory that did not belong to her came to her. The original owner was named Xue Linglong and she had the same name as her. Her grandmother didn't like her family and she especially didn't like her. Wasn't she beaten because of a small matter?

After she woke up, she quarreled with her grandmother. Since you don't like us so much, let's split up the family. We are really fed up with the housework being done by our family. The second uncle and his wife don't want to do it. When the grandmother heard that you, a dead girl, still want to split up the family, it's not that good. Linglong is a modern person and she is not a person who can be bullied. She called her brother Xue Gui to call the head of the village to split up the family and didn't want to live there anymore. The head of the village hurried to the Xue family. Why did you want to split up the family? So she told the head of the village everything that happened at home. The head of the village thought about it. Okay, you can't live like this anymore. He called Liu to come over and split up the family. What should Liu do? Xue Mancang came over and slapped Liu. Let's split up. Old man, you hit me and they bullied me, and you bullied me too. Let's split up the land and the house at home. These will be given to the second and third elders to farm. The silver can be given to each of them 10 taels. Linglong thought, okay, it's better to have it than not.

The head of the village said that the scholar in the village had moved to the city and his house was empty, so Linglong and your family of five could go and live there. Linglong said, "Okay, thank you, head of the village, and we will live a good life."
