"Cough cough... Husband, look, is our daughter dead?"
"Oh no, no way! Honey, wake up! You can't die!"
At this moment, Su Banxia's head was spinning like mush. She could only see a thin figure swaying her body in front of her. Already dizzy, she opened her eyes and vomited a mouthful of black blood with a "whoosh".
When Su Banxia finally opened her eyes, she saw a large, dark face pressed against hers.
"Daughter, you're awake! Guihua, look! Our daughter isn't dead!"
Then another dark-faced person approached. Su Banxia took a few steps back, staring in shock at the two people in front of her. Looking around at the dark surroundings, which looked like they had just been burned, Su Banxia felt a headache coming on.
I was just taking graduation photos, how did I end up in this godforsaken place?
Su Banxia recalled carefully. She was a medical student who was about to graduate. She was taking graduation photos with her roommates on the playground when she was hit by an out-of-control electric car and thrown into a flower bed. She landed on the back of her head. Could she have died just now?
"Ah ah ah ah ah……"
Su Banxia let out a wail. No way, no way! She had been working to support herself since she was 16, and she even had to earn money to spend on her vampire brother. She was definitely unloved by her parents. Although she was young, she had a long career.
Su Banxia felt heartbroken whenever she thought about how she had worked as a milk tea maker, a sausage seller, a store manager, a teaching assistant, and a salesperson... Now that she was finally about to make it big, she was going to die so inexplicably.
Just as she was feeling regretful, a sudden, sharp pain shot through her head, and a flood of memories that weren't hers came rushing into her mind like a movie. It turned out that the owner of this body was also named Su Banxia, and that her second family had just been evicted from the old house yesterday.
Because her grandmother, Granny Liu, was a biased person who always exploited the second branch of the family, she now felt that the children of the second branch had grown up and were eating more, so she found an excuse to divide the family overnight and drove the second branch into this thatched hut.
As if things weren't going to go wrong, last night, just as the family had gone to bed, a torrential downpour began. The thatched house couldn't withstand such an ordeal, and the already leaky house, with its many holes, kept leaking.
As a result, the rain grew heavier and heavier, and a bolt of lightning struck down, burning the flimsy thatched hut to the ground and knocking several people unconscious.
It wasn't until this moment that Su Banxia realized what had happened. She looked down at her palm, which had been cleaved black, and murmured:
"I...I've traveled through time?"
No sooner had Su Banxia finished speaking than another face, blackened by lightning, appeared before her.
"Little sister, what's wrong with you? Did you get struck by lightning and go crazy?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his two large, dark, rough hands to rub Su Banxia's face.
Seeing this, Su Banxia quickly slapped him away in disgust. According to the original owner's memories, this person in front of her should be her older brother, Su Shiyan. He looked simple-minded and silly, but when he was with familiar people, he was a chatterbox who couldn't stop talking.
"Big sister, what are you doing? Our whole family looks like we're covered in soot right now, are you going to look down on me?"
Su Banxia frowned and interrupted him.
"Stop talking about that, why hasn't Su Mo woken up yet?"
As soon as Su Banxia finished speaking, the others began searching for Su Mo, the youngest daughter of the Su family, amidst the ruins.
"Little sister, where are you? Little sister! Are you still alive?"
As everyone searched by moonlight, they saw a hand reaching out from the ruins not far away.
"Ahem, I'm here!"
Everyone quickly got up and pulled Su Mo out of the pile of broken wood. Fortunately, she was not seriously injured, only with some scrapes on her face.
Su Mo wiped the blood from her face and glanced at everyone present. When she was stunned by the lightning, she had a dream, a dream about the future, which felt like her own experience.
She dreamt that she recklessly married the village thug, only to find that he was a beast who constantly beat and verbally abused her after they married.
She was also forced to sever ties with her own family. Later, she only heard from her neighbors that Su Banxia had married into the capital not long after her own marriage and had become the wife of a high-ranking official.
Thinking this through, Su Mo looked at Su Banxia with a hint of resentment. Su Banxia usually acted like a hardworking and dutiful old ox, but in the dream, she was unwilling to help her out of her predicament.
And then there are my cowardly parents and brother. Why didn't they stop me when I got married? They let me marry such a beast, and I was tortured to death by him.
The dream was so realistic that even now, seeing this family still filled Su Mo with resentment. So, she didn't want to see their concern for her anymore and simply turned away, ignoring what they were saying.
Seeing that Su Mo's expression seemed to indicate that everyone owed her hundreds of coins, Su Banxia decided to ignore her.
By now, Su Banxia had accepted the reality of her transmigration. Looking at the mess before her, she pondered for a moment and said:
"Let's go back to the old house!"
Upon hearing this, Su Hanzhang hurriedly and nervously replied:
"No, no, Banxia, your grandparents are asleep now. If we go back now and wake them up, they won't be able to sleep all night!"
Su Banxia looked at her timid father and then at her mother who was wiping away tears with her head down, and sighed helplessly.
Now she finally understood why the Su family could refuse to give the second branch of the family a piece of land and kick them out with just one room.
It turns out that with these two good-for-nothing parents around, the Su family could easily have bullied the second branch of the family. Su Hanzhang would probably have to kneel down and thank her grandparents.
Su Banxia glared at Su Hanzhang.
"If you won't go, I'll go myself! If I can't sleep, nobody else can either!"
After saying that, Su Banxia turned and ran towards the old house, with Su Hanzhang and Wang Guihua chasing after her, calling out to her.
"Hey, hey, stop running! It'll be dawn soon, can't we just wait a little longer?"
Seeing that his parents and younger sister had all run away, Su Shiyan didn't care about Su Mo, who was still sulking, and ran after them towards the old house.
Now Su Mo was all alone at the foot of the mountain, far from any village or shop, and she suddenly felt a little scared, even though she was still angry with her parents and siblings.
But she didn't dare stay in the ruins alone any longer, so she hurriedly followed the departing group and ran towards the old house.
