"I won't marry him. Yin Xu broke his leg, and he has a sick mother and a studying sister at home. If I marry him, won't I be working for them? Why should I? "
"Why should I? Didn't you ask me to kiss Yin Xu because you liked him? Yin Xu broke his leg to save your grandfather. Isn't he helping you because you're about to marry him? We can't be so heartless! That's enough, Chu Lan. Don't make a fuss. What if the neighbors hear about it? "
"Oh, it'll be good if it gets out. Grandma, what era are we in now? Arranged marriages are not allowed. If you don't believe me, why don't you ask the Women's Federation? I won't marry Yin Xu even if I die. If you feel that you have to take responsibility for him, fine. Don't you have a girl at home of the right age? "
"What do you mean? Let Chu Xiang marry him for you?! Chu Xiang is injured like that. How can you say that? "
"Isn't she a good match for Yin Xu? Who else do you want her to marry? Who wants her? "
Chu Xiang woke up to the sharp noise. She had a splitting headache, and her right cheek was burning. The pain was numbing, and even her whole body was sore. She frowned, took a deep breath, and looked around.
This was a narrow and dark adobe house. The roof was low, and the windows were small. Looking at it made people feel depressed. The most important thing was that the spiritual energy in this world was pitifully low. It was even less than the spiritual energy in any of the previous worlds!
The people outside were still quarreling, and there was no one in the room. Chu Xiang took out two specially made painkillers from her space and ate them. The spiritual energy brought by the soul was also affected by the external conditions. The spiritual energy in this world was scarce, and Chu Xiang could only use a small amount of spiritual energy. The healing process was slow, and she could only endure the pain for the time being.
She moved her fingers and called out the Heaven and Earth Mirror. She saw that there was a wound from the corner of her eye to the corner of her mouth on the right side of her face. There was black medicine on it, and it looked terrible. No wonder she couldn't get married to that man outside. He was disfigured.
She quickly merged with the original owner's memories. This was a country she had never seen before. It was called Hua Country, and it was also an era she had never been to. It was a very poor and restrictive end of the seventies.
The original host was 18 years old and was studying. She was close to an educated youth in the brigade named Song Yang. Song Yang's family was from the provincial capital. Since the college entrance examination was reinstated a year ago, the two of them had been preparing for the college entrance examination together. They wanted to be admitted to a provincial university.
Chu Lan, who was making a ruckus outside, was her cousin from her uncle's family. She was one year older than her and had failed to enter university last year. Originally, she had already given up on studying. However, she had taken a fancy to the tall and capable Yin Xu and had asked her family to help her marry him. Who knew that she would suddenly change her personality and take the college entrance examination? Now, she was even clamoring for Chu Xiang to get married in her place. Her personality was not very good, but her luck was very good. She could always get some good things.
The original host was very unlucky. During the school exam, she caught a cold and had a fever. She was in a daze from the fever and got a very low score. On the way home, she missed a step and rolled down the hill. Her face was cut by a sharp stone and the back of her head hit a big stone. Her body was covered with bruises and bruises.
The original host's head hit was very serious. The doctor at the health center saw that she wasn't bleeding and thought that she was fine. In the end, the original host died and Chu Xiang took over her life.
There weren't many people in the Chu family. Above them were Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu. Their two sons were the original host's uncle and father. They were ordinary farmers. Their daughter, who was the original host's aunt, married into the county in her early years. Now, she was working in a supply and demand cooperative. She was the one with the best conditions in the family. However, her aunt was arrogant and didn't like to interact with poor relatives.
Uncle Chu only had one child, Chu Lan. He worked hard and injured his body so he couldn't have children. Therefore, he always felt that he couldn't raise his head in the brigade. His back was a little bent and he could only work like an old ox.
The original host had a younger brother, Chu Xin. He was sixteen years old and had just entered high school. Chu Xin was the only grandson of the Chu family. He was spoiled at home and never put his two sisters in his eyes. He didn't do any work and his grades were poor. He ate and drank and became a fatty in this era.
The original owner's parents were extremely biased. Her grandparents and uncle also liked Chu Xin. Eldest Aunt doted on Chu Lan. Only the original owner of the body was neglected and neglected. If it weren't for the original host's excellent grades and the teachers getting subsidies for the college entrance examination, her family wouldn't have let her study.
After Chu Xiang merged the memories, she finally understood why no one cared about her living in such a poor room. Her grandmother outside would rather quarrel with Chu Lan and not let her marry than come in to see if her injuries were better. It seems that she mainly cared about the Yin family making trouble and making the Chu family lose face. It had nothing to do with her.
Chu Xiang sat up with difficulty. She took out a few crystal nuclei from her space and arranged them into a spirit gathering formation under the quilt. Although there wasn't much spiritual energy, with the Spirit Gathering Array gathering spiritual energy, it still made Chu Xiang feel more comfortable.
She took out a roll and ate it with the rice porridge. In her previous life, she collected a lot of good things in the apocalypse. Fortunately, she had the space and these things. Otherwise, her life would be difficult.
This era was very strange. People weren't allowed to walk around. To go to other places, they needed the approval of the brigade leader and a letter of recommendation. Otherwise, they couldn't even buy a ticket. Food and daily necessities couldn't be bought with money. They had to have a ticket. Tickets were often very rare things. Sometimes, people wanted to eat meat or make new clothes.
Fortunately, the policies were relaxed a lot in the past two years. Land was contracted to each household and there was no need to work collectively. No one would catch them if they went to the county to sell things. The college entrance examination was also reinstated. If she transmigrated two years earlier, there would be more restrictions.
The noise outside the house gradually stopped. Chu Xiang had also eaten her fill and lay down again. The painkillers worked. She felt much better now, but her body was still tired. She couldn't do anything outside. It was better to lie down and rest.
When Chu Xiang was about to fall asleep, Grandma Chu came in to see her and changed the medicine on her face. Grandma Chu's hands were very rough. She was used to doing farm work. She didn't change the medicine gently. Chu Xiang frowned in pain and opened her eyes to avoid it.
"Grandma, I'll do it myself."
Grandma Chu stuffed the medicine into her hand and breathed a sigh of relief. "You're finally awake. The doctor is here. You'll be fine now that you're awake. You should apply the medicine yourself. You can't walk properly. What are you going to do with such a big scar on your face? Won't you have to marry a widower with a child in the future? "
Chu Xiang didn't apply the medicine on her face. When she heard this, her eyebrows moved slightly. Did this mean that he had approved of Chu Lan and had set his sights on her? She lowered her eyes and said, "What's so good about marrying a widower and helping him raise his child? It's better to work in our family than to be a cow or a horse in someone else's house. It'll let you and my grandfather relax. Now that the land is contracted to each household, I can be counted as a laborer when I recover. Working in someone else's house won't help our family. "
Grandma Chu was stunned. She frowned and disagreed. "What are you talking about? How could she not get married? You're already eighteen. It's too late. If you don't marry, Old Lady Jiang will laugh at you and our Chu family. "
Grandma Chu did not wait for Chu Xiang to reply. She patted her blanket twice and said, "Alright, don't worry about these things. Your mother, your aunt, and I will help you find a good one. We will definitely find you a good one and won't let you suffer. Quickly apply the medicine. I'll ask your mother to make some porridge for you. "
Grandma Chu left hurriedly after saying that. She didn't care if Chu Xiang had anything to say. If it was a naive teenage girl at this time, she would have completely fallen into Grandma Chu's trap and thought that she was concerned about her.
Disfigurement was already shocking and made people lose their minds. At this time, Grandma Chu could only marry a widower and lack a stepmother. She naturally felt more panicked and helpless. Then, Grandma Chu and the others could marry into the Yin family. With the worst family as a comparison, the Yin family suddenly became the best choice. At that time, the girl might think that her family was good to her and be grateful to them.
Chu Xiang shook her head. No wonder the original owner left without saying a word after knowing that she was dead. She didn't have any lingering feelings at all.
Chu Xiang smelled the medicine and recognized that it was just ordinary medicine. The medicine was very weak. She simply took the medicine she made from her space and applied it to the wound. Then, she covered the black medicine that Grandma Chu gave her with it.
When she finished, the original owner's mother, Li Yuezhen, came in with half a bowl of porridge. "Eat something. You just woke up. You can't eat too much. Just fill your stomach."
Chu Xiang was already full, so she didn't mind that the porridge was too little. She took the bowl and tasted it. Sure enough, it was the same as the original owner's memory. It tasted bad. There was no fragrance and the taste was bad. She saw Li Yuezhen looking at her. She raised her head and pretended to drink the porridge. In fact, she poured all the porridge into the trash can.
She handed the empty bowl to Li Yuezhen and said "weakly", "Mom, I'm dizzy and my face hurts. I want to sleep for a while."
"Okay, then you go to sleep." Li Yuezhen frowned and turned to leave. She couldn't help but say, "You, why are you disfigured? What should we do? You got such a low score this time. You definitely can't go to university. You, you, if you had listened to me and married Old Liu two years ago, wouldn't you be fine now? You're too careless and disobedient. How can you help your brother in the future? "
"Didn't you say that Brother Chang will support me in the future? Now that this elder sister of mine is in trouble, it's just the right time for him to take care of me. I'll be relying on him for the rest of my life. He's the only son of our Chu family. "Chu Xiang retorted casually as she lay down.
Li Yuezhen was speechless. She didn't know what to say. In order to let Chu Xiang help her brother, she said a lot of words. But wasn't that to let Chu Xiang help Chu Xin? Why did Chu Xin want to meddle in Chu Xiang's affairs before he got any benefits?
Chu Xiang closed her eyes. "I'm dizzy. I'm in a daze. I'm going to sleep first."
Li Yuezhen was about to say something, but she was blocked again. She called Chu Xiang twice. Seeing that Chu Xiang didn't respond, she thought that Chu Xiang had fainted. She closed the door and left resentfully.
This family wasn't very good. It wasn't suitable for her to stay for long. In this era, the affection of the elders was very restrictive. The rules of the brigade were also very restrictive. In these various restrictions, she had to find a way to live comfortably and freely.
It was the first time Chu Xiang came to such a place. She quickly thought about it. First of all, she had to leave this house. These people were not her family. It was fine if she didn't want them.
