Chapter 1 The Temperamental Chang Jie Transmigrates into a Delicate Little Widow
The first thing Lin Chang'er thought when she opened her eyes was, "How did this world become so insane?"
She worked hard and finally achieved a small goal. Before she could even relax, she was taken away by a crystal chandelier that suddenly fell from above her head at the celebration banquet.
Very well, he's in heaven, but his money's in the bank. All that hard work for nothing.
But when she opened her eyes, she had actually traveled through time.
The good news is that she can breathe again.
The bad news is that the original owner of this body was a young widow.
Not only did she return to square one overnight, but she also gained a frail mother-in-law who couldn't lift a finger, a pair of sallow-faced, thin, big-eyed children, and several honest, simple-minded uncles, aunts, and sisters-in-law.
The original owner of this body shared the same name and was just as unlucky. After her parents passed away, her uncle and aunt exploited her, leaving her without any descendants. They even secretly planned to sell her to Li, the wealthy man of Lijia Village, as his eighteenth concubine.
During her escape, she fell into the sea and was rescued by Gu Sanlang. Her uncle and aunt took the opportunity to extort money from Gu Sanlang.
Although Gu Sanlang was handsome, he was considered a widower, so no one within a ten-mile radius was willing to marry their daughter to him as a second wife.
Mother Gu then paid a sum of money to allow her to marry Gu Sanlang.
On his wedding night, the man was conscripted again, and during the march, he was caught in a mudslide and his body was never found.
The original owner's parents had arranged a marriage for her with Han, a scholar in the village. The engagement was just around the corner when the original owner's parents passed away unexpectedly, and the other party changed their minds.
Sure enough, as soon as Gu Sanlang left, the other side had another idea. They secretly sent a message to the original owner, saying that as long as she brought Gu Sanlang's compensation money, they would be willing to accept her as a beautiful concubine.
The original owner's father was a scholar, and the family was quite well-off. He also had only one daughter.
The original owner was pampered by her parents since childhood, so she was proud and sensitive. In 21st-century terms, she was not a bad person, but she was pretentious.
Upon receiving the message, feeling humiliated, he went to confront them alone, but for some reason, he injured his head and collapsed on the roadside.
When the Gu family arrived, he was barely clinging to life.
When she woke up again, the core inside her had been replaced with hers.
Just then, the original owner's shameless uncle and aunt arrived and started making a scene.
Judging from the conversation, they not only wanted to take away the original owner's "corpse", but also wanted to share Gu Sanlang's compensation money.
As for what they intend to do with the original owner of this body, that remains unknown. However, given the family's wicked nature, it certainly won't be anything good.
Lin Chang'er gathered her thoughts and continued listening to the people outside spouting nonsense.
"When our Chang'er married into your family, she was a healthy person. How could she be gone so soon?"
"Don't think that just because your elder brother and sister-in-law are gone, there's no one to support Chang'er. As long as we're still here, we won't let Chang'er die so unjustly."
"Yes, the Gu family must give us an explanation today, or we'll take this to the county magistrate!"
The speakers were Lin Chang'er's second uncle, Lin Houde, her second aunt, Yang Cuihua, and her cousin, Lin Dashan.
However, judging from the commotion, the Lin family must have come prepared, as they had brought quite a few people with them.
Lin Chang'er cursed the heavens in her heart. Listen to this, it sounds better than it sounds.
Those who don't know the situation might think that the original owner's heartless uncle and aunt were actually kind people who cared about the original owner and brought their family to seek justice for the original owner.
However, Lin Chang'er was curious about what the Gu family was doing and why there was no sound at all.
Lin Chang'er frowned, propped herself up on her arms and tried to take a look at the commotion, but suddenly a wave of dizziness hit her, forcing her to stop.
After I calmed down, I heard someone shouting outside.
"Stop talking nonsense. A human life has been lost. We can't let this go like this. Make them pay compensation. If they don't, we'll smash up their dilapidated house."
Immediately, someone else chimed in, "Yes, smash him, and carry him back home too."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Gu family finally made a move.
"No, don't smash it... Fourth brother, quickly take the younger ones inside. Second uncle, let's talk this out."
“In-laws, Chang’er is still breathing. Her uncle has already gone to fetch a doctor, and he will be back soon. You, you should wait a little longer.”
"Waaah... Mother isn't dead! You're not allowed to take Mother away! Waaah... Fourth Uncle, I don't want to leave! Brother, don't leave either! I don't want Mother to leave!"
Gu Erlang's timid attempts to dissuade him, Gu's mother's feeble explanations, and the child's wailing were all drowned out by the Ye family's "angry" shouts.
I'm tired. Let's destroy it!
Lin Chang'er clenched her fists, unable to suppress her morning grumpiness.
Although the Gu family members were a bit shrewd, in the original owner's memory, they were all honest and simple farmers.
Furthermore, he held scholars in natural reverence, and thus also greatly admired the original owner of this literate young wife.
On the contrary, the original owner of this body, although she accepted the marriage, was not very warm towards the Gu family even though they lived under the same roof.
But the Gu family not only didn't give her a hard time, but also gave her the best things first, almost treating her like a goddess.
However, these benefits were all received by the original owner of the body and had little to do with Lin Chang'er herself.
Although she was not a saint, she believed in cause and effect.
It is often said that one generation plants the trees so that another can enjoy the shade, but in her case, it is exactly the opposite.
She is now in possession of the original owner's body, and the shameless Lin family is using the original owner's body as an excuse to bully the Gu family. She can't just ignore it.
Lin Chang'er grabbed a worn-out bamboo chair from beside the bed and stormed off toward the door.
Outside, the Gu family desperately tried to stop the Lin family, even sending several children along.
But the men from the Lin family were all strong and powerful. The two families were pushing and shoving each other, and no one noticed that Lin Chang'er, who had died at the hands of a member of the Lin family, had already swaggered to the door.
Lin Chang'er carried her small bamboo chair and scanned the area. She found someone she didn't like and was about to make a move when she saw her second aunt Lin reach out her dirty hand and push away the original owner's stepdaughter, Gu Bailu.
"Be careful!" The incident happened so suddenly that Lin Chang'er had no time to warn her.
The five-year-old girl was thin and frail. She fell to the ground with a thud, then got up crying and rushed towards Aunt Lin. "Dad said to take good care of Mom and not to let you bully her. I won't let you take Mom away."
This scene inexplicably made Lin Chang'er feel heartbroken.
She was not married in the other world, nor had she ever had children.
Moreover, her family cultivated her independence from a young age, and over the years, she has almost always been the one to take the lead in everything.
Seeing the little girl's efforts to push her little hands away in vain, Lin Tang'er's anger reached its peak.
She changed her target, grabbed Gu's mother who was about to be pushed over, and swung the bamboo chair at Yang Cuihua's son, Lin Dashan.
Lin Chang'er moved swiftly, and Lin Dashan didn't even see her clearly. Feeling the pain, he instinctively assumed it was Gu's mother and roared, "Damn it, you jinx who lost both your husband and son dares to hit me? Don't you want to live?"
He shouted, then swung his fist towards Lin Chang'er and Gu's mother...
