The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

"This little girl, are you deliberately making trouble with me? I sent you to Mr. Hu's house so that you could live a good life, but look at your worthless appearance, you can't even afford such a blessing! If you really want to die, then die here and let's see who dares to collect your body!"

"Oh, Mrs. Chen, please don't go too far. Your eldest son and daughter-in-law just left, and you're bullying these children like this. Aren't you afraid that they will come after you if they find out?"

"That's right. These two children are really pitiful. Why can't you tolerate them?"

"Chen Xi" slowly woke up, her head felt like it was exploding with pain, and she was also dizzy. The noisy discussions in her ears made her feel nauseous.

A strange memory flooded into her brain like a tide, making her head feel like it was about to split.

She was a surgeon known as the "Ghost Knife", but after working non-stop for several nights, she became exhausted and suspected that she had died suddenly. Otherwise, how could she have traveled through time and space to the body of this poor farm girl?

The original owner's parents worked away from home for many years. Although they often sent some money back home, it was all intercepted by her grandmother.

Not only that, grandma treated the original owner and his younger brother harshly in every way. She was always the last one to come to the table during meals, and they ate only leftover soup and vegetables. However, she did the most work in the family, working harder than the old ox in the fields.

However, a sudden piece of bad news made their already difficult life even worse - their parents died in an accident while working outside.

The employer came with compensation to inform the grandmother of the matter. The grandmother took the money, sent him away with a smile on her face, and turned around to start thinking about how to deal with the original owner's siblings.

The sixteen-year-old Chen Xi became a bargain in the eyes of Old Lady Chen, and she planned to sell her to a wealthy man in the town as a concubine.

The official had a bad temper. Except for his wife, almost all of his concubines died from abuse.

Despite this, the high betrothal gift and the compensation after death made Old Lady Chen very excited, and she wanted to squeeze all the value out of Chen Xi.

Chen Xi naturally didn't want to marry a man older than her father, so she fought back vigorously, and in the process of breaking free from Old Lady Chen's restraints, she accidentally bumped into the stone tablet at the entrance of the village.

The collision caused the original owner to die, and the modern "Ghost Hand" doctor Chen Xi traveled here.

"Bah! When have I ever treated them badly? This girl has no parents. How many years can I take care of her? Isn't it also a lifelong arrangement to find her a home as soon as possible?"

Old Mrs. Chen stood with her hands on her hips, and fought back against those who criticized her without any mercy, spitting everywhere, and was about to start a fight.

"Humph, everyone knows what kind of person Mr. Hu is. Your girl is so young, if she really marries him, she will probably be tortured to death in less than three days, right? What on earth are you thinking?"

There are still people in the village who speak up for justice and express their dissatisfaction with the behavior of Mrs. Chen who was going to be cruel to the two children after taking the compensation.

"It's none of your business! You are so idle and nosy. I'd rather sell this worthless girl to your family. Since you are so kind-hearted, just take her!"

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

Although they sympathized with the girl, the world was in a difficult situation now and every household was struggling to get enough food. Raising a girl would undoubtedly increase the burden, not to mention that she was their own daughter, so naturally no one was willing to do such a stupid thing.

At this moment, Mrs. Chen saw that Chen Xi had woken up, and immediately grabbed her hair and pulled her up. Her cloudy eyes were wide open, and the spit from her curses almost splashed on Chen Xi...

"You little bitch, you still want to pretend to be unconscious? Hurry up and keep walking, or I'll really beat you up!"

Before she finished speaking, Chen Xi happened to receive all the memories, and her mind finally felt better. Looking at the vicious woman in front of her, her eyes were as cold as ice, staring at her intently.

"You still dare to look me in the eye? You're really brave, aren't you, little girl?"

Old Madam Chen gurgled in her throat, then rolled up her sleeves and was about to attack Chen Xi.

However, this time, Chen Xi did not let her do whatever she wanted. Instead, he rushed forward to block her attack.

What was even more surprising was that she grabbed the man's shoulders with one hand and his waist with the other, twisted him into a right angle, and threw him heavily to the ground.

With a "crack", the sound of Mrs. Chen's bones breaking was clearly audible, followed by a heart-wrenching scream:

"Ahhh! You stinky girl, you money-loser, you black-hearted, rotten-lung bitch, how dare you treat your grandma like this, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?!"

Old Mrs. Chen was in so much pain that she couldn't move, but her mouth was still busy, and she blurted out a mouthful of obscenities, which resulted in another loud slap from Chen Xi.

With a "bang" sound, not only Old Mrs. Chen was dumbfounded, but also the people around who were watching the fun were stunned.

Normally, Chen Xi is a soft persimmon that is bullied by everyone and is suppressed by the Chen family. How did he become so powerful?

The Chen family rushed over after hearing the news. The farce at the entrance of the village had already been reported back home. They were afraid that something might happen to Chen Xi and that it would affect the family's reputation. Besides, Mr. Hu would not want someone dead, so the whole family went out and prepared to forcibly escort Chen Xi to the Hu residence.

However, when they arrived at the scene, what they saw was a scene that stunned everyone.

Chen Xi was sitting on top of Old Madam Chen, slapping her again and again.

The onlookers were either too shocked or did not want to cause trouble, and no one stepped forward to dissuade them.

"What are you doing, little girl? Let your grandma go!"

Uncle Chen and Uncle Chen II hurried over.

They usually enjoy the money sent back by their parents, and now they have received a lot of compensation. Their lives are extremely comfortable, and naturally they will not allow anyone to challenge their authority.

Chen Xi took the opportunity to gently touch Old Lady Chen's waist, find the joint, and reset the broken bone.

Although it was reconnected, the pain of a broken bone at such an age was like a life-and-death experience. Old Mrs. Chen's face was pale and her breath was weak.

Chen Xi quickly picked up two sharp stones from the ground. As a doctor, she knew that she could not defeat two grown men in a head-on confrontation, so she could only outsmart them.

She held the stone tightly, and waved it around in a panic as her eldest and second uncles approached, but in fact she hit the acupuncture points on their legs with incredible precision.

Instantly, the two men knelt on one knee in pain, holding their wounds and wailing, gritting their teeth as if they wished they could tear Chen Xi into pieces.

"The village chief is here!" Someone shouted, and the crowd automatically made way for him.

At the same time, Chen Xi burst into tears, the sound resounded through the sky and could be heard throughout the village.

"Grandma, uncle, you've gone too far! I usually take care of my family and do all the dirty and heavy work at home. I have never even seen a shadow of the money my parents earned. Now that they have passed away, not only do you take all the compensation money, but you also plan to sell us siblings for money. How sad would my parents be if they knew about this? Grandma, why are you so cruel?"
