Chapter 4 Analyzing the Situation

Chapter 4 Analyzing the Situation

At the hour of Hai (around nine o'clock in the evening), perhaps the drug took effect, Qianhua finally opened her eyes.

The original owner's father's leg injury had not yet healed, and Liu had long since persuaded him to sleep in the next compartment.

The three of them squeezed into one room, separated only by a wooden board and a curtain.

At this time, Liu was the only one guarding her by the bed. Perhaps she was very tired, so she fell asleep at the head of the bed.

Qianhuan turned her head to look at Liu's tired sleeping face but did not wake her up.

She sat up gently, and in the dim light of the oil lamp, she stared at her own hands, which were a pair of small, black and thin hands.

She turned around and took a closer look at the entire room: gray adobe walls, uneven dirt floor, an old square table with mottled black paint, and two long wooden benches with legs that weren't even together under the table.

The room was very shabby, and one could tell at a glance that the furnishings were from ancient times. She had to admit that she had really traveled through time.

She sorted out the current situation in her mind: the original owner was pushed into the river by her cousin Cuihua and should have drowned. After she fell into the sea, she was reborn into the original owner by coincidence.

From the original owner's memory, she learned that this place was called Dayuan Kingdom, and it was now the 14th year of Jingxi, a dynasty that had never appeared in history.

The village where the original owner lived was called Yunfeng Village, which belonged to Qingxi County, Lingzhou, and was located in the southwest of the Dayuan Dynasty.

The original owner's grandfather, Old Man Liang, was the head of the family. The original owner's great-grandfather named Old Man Liang Liang Dongcai, which is homophonic to "dongcai". The original owner's great-grandfather probably hoped that Old Man Liang would study hard, pass the imperial examinations, and become a pillar of the Dayuan Kingdom.

Unfortunately, Old Man Liang was not a student at all. After studying for several years, he failed the county examinations several times and didn’t even get the title of a student. In the end, he had to give up studying and go home to farm.

Old Man Liang inherited his father's aspirations and began to hope that his descendants could study hard, obtain honors and bring glory to the family. However, his three sons were not good at studying.

Liang Wenzhi, the only educated person in the family, is the person he values ​​the most. Liang Wenzhi is the second son of the original owner's uncle.

Old Man Liang favors his second grandson very much. Whenever he has any good things, he always asks Old Lady Liang to give them to Liang Wenzhi first. Nothing at home is more important than Liang Wenzhi's studies.

The original owner's grandmother, Mrs. Liang, was a feudal and old-fashioned person with a serious preference for boys over girls. It was said that the original owner had an aunt, but the family was too poor to raise so many children, so the aunt was pushed into a water tank and drowned by Mrs. Liang as soon as she was born.

Old Mrs. Liang always felt that her daughters would be a loss of money if they were born, and raising them would be a waste of the family's food, so she never liked Qianhuan and Cuihua.

Usually, she is more partial to her grandchildren. Old Man Liang can still try to be fair on the surface, but Old Lady Liang is obviously partial.

In this family, besides Qianhuan and Cuihua, the person that Old Lady Liang hated the most was the original owner's mother, Liu. Because Liu only gave birth to the original owner's daughter, and did not give birth to a son for Liang Laoer, which was equivalent to cutting off Liang Laoer's descendants.

Old Mrs. Liang never looked at Liu in a good light, and would beat and scold her whenever she was not satisfied. Liu knew that she had not given birth to a son for her husband, and was not liked by her mother-in-law, so she endured the beatings and scoldings.

Old Lady Liang had been urging Old Man Liang to divorce Lady Liu and marry another woman to continue the family line. However, the original owner's father was extremely devoted and not only refused to divorce Lady Liu, he also continued to protect her.

There were several times when Old Lady Liang was ready to divorce Liu and kick her out of the house, but Old Master Liang always threatened to kill himself before Old Lady Liang gave up.

Old Mrs. Liang felt that she was only thinking about the second son, but she was bewitched by the vixen Liu.

She felt that Liang Lao Er was disobeying her for Liu's sake, which was a typical example of a man forgetting his mother after marrying a wife. Gradually, she began to feel resentful and dislike towards her second son.

Mrs. Liang had three sons. The eldest was Liang Shifu, the second was Liang Shijun, and the third was Liang Shigui.

Boss Liang married Zhu and had two sons and one daughter.

The eldest son, Liang Wenyong, is 18 years old and has been helping with farm work at home. He has not yet married because his family is poor.

The second son, Liang Wenzhi, was 14 years old and was studying in a private school in the town.

My daughter Liang Cuihua is 15 years old this year. Cuihua looks like her mother Zhu, with a round face, small eyes, short stature, naturally dark skin, and not a very good-looking appearance.

Cuihua is as lazy as Zhu on weekdays. No matter what work Grandma Liang assigns to her two granddaughters, Cuihua can always find various excuses to be lazy and do less work, and she always likes to secretly find fault with the original owner.

The original owner's father was the second child in the family. He married Liu for three years before he had Qianhuan.

It is said that when Old Man Liang fell ill, the original owner's father and mother went to the capital to seek medicine. On the way, Liu found out that she was several months pregnant. On the way back home from the capital, she gave birth to Qianhuan with great difficulty.

The original owner was born in March. The weather was very cold at the time and the couple were busy traveling, which caused the original owner, who was still in swaddling clothes, to suffer from a cold.

Liang Laoer and Liu had a daughter, Qianhuan, more than ten years later. Since then, Liu's belly has not been moving at all.

Over the years, they have tried all kinds of folk remedies and taken countless bitter medicines, but to no avail. So the couple cherished their only daughter, Qianhuan.

Liang Laosan went to serve in the army just a few years after marrying Chen. Originally, Liang Laotai had decided to let Liang Laoer serve in the army. She wanted to take advantage of the time when the second brother went to the army to drive Liu and Qianhuan out of the house.

Unexpectedly, Liang Laosan said that his second brother could hunt and could earn more money for the family, so he chose to join the army himself.

When he left, his son Liang Wenjie was only 4 years old. Now Liang Wenjie is 8 years old.

The border has been relatively peaceful in recent years. Ordinary soldiers of Dayuan Kingdom can be discharged and return home after five years of military service, and the army can be recruited back to fight when there is a war.

At the end of next year, Liang Laosan will be able to retire and return home.

In fact, the three Liang brothers used to have a very good relationship and were usually very united.

But things gradually changed after Liang Lao Da married his wife, Zhu. Zhu was very selfish and always cared about every little thing. She wanted to take any good things from the house and put them in their east wing.

Although Boss Liang also loves his brothers, he is weak in character and is usually afraid of Zhu. He has to listen to whatever Zhu says. He is a typical henpecked husband.

Liang Laosan’s wife, Chen, was only 15 years old when she got married, and now she is only about years old.

She has a gentle temperament and has never been competitive. She is also very kind. She never offends her eldest sister-in-law, Zhu, nor bullies her second sister-in-law, Liu, who is not liked by her mother-in-law.

Since Liang Laosan was away from home because he was serving in the military, Chen usually lived with the rest of the family with her son Liang Wenjie.

After Qianhuan quickly analyzed these situations in her mind, she came to a conclusion: life in a large family is not easy.

As the old saying goes, even teeth and tongue can clash sometimes, and conflicts are bound to occur when a large family lives together for a long time.

Besides, Old Lady Liang favored boys over girls and hated the original owner and his mother Liu. If they continued to live together, they would have to live under Old Lady Liang's orders every day.

In this era, filial piety is particularly emphasized. The elders have the final say in the family and the younger generation cannot disobey.

If I want to do anything in the future, I will definitely be controlled by Old Lady Liang. I feel suffocated just thinking about it.

With my personality, I definitely won't be as submissive as the original owner. If I disobey the old man, I will be accused of being unfilial and the villagers will spit at me. The original owner's father will be in a very difficult position being caught in the middle.

In this big family, there are people like Zhu and Cuihua who like to make trouble, which makes life even more difficult.

If I want to live happily and comfortably in this place, it is imperative to separate the family. In this way, the original owner's mother Liu can also escape the clutches of her mother-in-law.

It's just that the original owner's father's leg injury has not healed yet, and he has no ability to make money for the time being. Her current understanding of this era is limited to the original owner's memory. The farthest place the original owner has been to is the town of their Yunfeng Village. It was when her father went to the town to sell prey that she insisted on going with him.

Given the current situation, if they were to separate now, life would definitely be very difficult for their family.

She had to first get a good understanding of the situation in this village and this era, and then think about ways to make money. Once she found a way to make money, she would definitely find a way to separate from the family and live on her own.

Since I came to this time and space by accident and occupied the original owner's body, I have to live well on her behalf.

The first person she has to deal with now is Cuihua. She pushed the original owner into the river, causing the original owner to lose her life in vain. Since she has taken over the original owner's body, she must avenge her no matter what.

Thinking of this, Qian Hua suddenly had an idea in her mind.
