n to the village. He proudly thought to himself, it seems that Village Head Wang is really being driven to desperation by the grain planting issue.Otherwise, how could he have come to Fang Jinshu thi...In the first year of Emperor Li's reign, Xizhou suffered a severe drought. The fields were parched and cracked, crops failed, and people faced dire straits, even resorting to selling their children and daughters.

The Fang family is no exception.

As soon as Fang Jinshu regained a little consciousness, someone roughly pulled her hair. The pain made her immediately open her eyes.

"Don't play dead, it won't work anyway."

She followed the sound and saw a woman with a cruel and fierce face, who was tugging at her hair, dressed in roughspun clothes.

"Fang Jinxiu, your mother has raised you for so many years and has been as kind and generous as possible. While other people sell their daughters to human traffickers, we have at least found a husband's family for you."

"Don't blame me for being cruel, you're the only son in our family. The doctor said your broken leg can be saved if we can raise five taels of silver."

"As a young woman, you are meant to marry and be taken in by another family. Now that someone is willing to pay five taels to take you back, consider it repayment for all the years your father and I have raised you."

Fang Jinxiu's head ached. Memories of the original owner flooded her mind, and she realized she had transmigrated to an unknown ancient time.

became the third daughter of the Fang family, sharing the same name and surname.

She has an older brother named Fang Jianren, who is nineteen years old this year. He is the apple of his parents' eyes and the only son of the Fang family.

There's also an elder sister ranked second, named Fang Mingxia. She's a twin with her, 18 years old, but they were born at different times in the same year.

Fang Mingxia has a sweet mouth, while the original owner is an honest and simple person, more pampered at home than her.

There's also a younger sister named Fang Xiaocǎo, who is thirteen years old. Like her older sister, she is unloved at home because when she was conceived, the fortune teller said she would be a male child who would bring good luck to the family.

The result was a sickly little girl.

The original owner, her mother Wang Xiumei, was going to sell her to a hunter surnamed Zong in the mountains for her son's leg.

It is said that the main family is also penniless, and there's a sickly mother who's like a walking medicine cabinet. The eldest son, Zong Yu, is good at hunting, but his appearance is extremely ferocious, with the nickname "Oni" (demon).

The villagers also said that this man was so desperate to get a wife that he sold his entire fortune to the Fang family, guessing that no one could endure his torment. Those who went to his clan would surely die sooner or later.

The original owner was so frightened that he ran away overnight, and was caught back by his father, Fang Da Zhu, after being hit hard on the head.

When I opened my eyes, she was right there in front of me, identical to me in name and appearance.

Fang Jinxiu hurriedly checked the Lingquan space she had unexpectedly obtained before crossing over. Seeing that it was still there, she let out a breath of relief in her heart.

She didn't know if Zong Yu was a Yaksha. All she knew was that the person who had killed the original owner, was her biological father, Fang Dazhu.

That blow sent her to the west.

Wang Xiumei was still chattering in her ear.

Fang Dazhu walked over and pulled his wife, asking her to be more restrained.

After all, the Zong family is a hunter's family. Who knows, maybe Jinxiu will be able to make a good life for herself in the future, and their family can benefit from her success then.

"Just keep it to yourself."

He pulled Fang Jinshu up and said, “Jinshu, your parents had no choice.”

But this honorable clan hunts, nowadays, you might not even survive if you went to their home.

"Don't think about running away, and definitely don't go home, okay"

"But if things go well for you in the future, you can always come back to visit me and your mother during festivals and holidays."

"We raised you this much, it wasn't easy, don't be ungrateful, understand"

Fang Jinshi sneered inwardly, let alone the fact that the original owner had already been killed by them.

Even if he wasn't dead, how could he, as a father, say such things to his daughter who was about to be sold

To abandon and sell her, yet also want her to remain grateful

It's truly astounding, how someone can be so unresponsive to requests from others.ung bride"Fang Jinshi had never been one to suffer losses. Facing so many outstanding relatives at home, she didn't suffer any disadvantages. There was no reason why she would be bullied when she went...
