The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

The villagers were surprised that Su's daughter suddenly attacked someone, but at the same time they felt very satisfied.

I've never seen the Su family girl argue with anyone. She always speaks softly and gently, never fights back when hit or scolded, and blushes with embarrassment when she's wronged.

They actually took action today.

It's clear that even honest people can be pushed to their limits.

So just because a tiger isn't showing its power doesn't mean it's a sick cat.

Fang Yingxue, relying on her brother's status as a scholar, looked down on the villagers and often mocked and gossiped about them.

By the way, Fang Yingxue also likes to take advantage of others, borrowing things everywhere and never returning them.

In impoverished rural areas, even the smallest things are considered very precious by the villagers.

Finally, someone dared to teach Fang Yingxue a lesson today. It's truly gratifying.

Well done, Su girl! The villagers were practically ready to applaud and cheer.

Fang Yingxue's mother, Sun, was also present. She was very unhappy to see her daughter being beaten and no one stopping her.

Sun pointed at the old village chief's nose and said, "I think you are not a good village chief at all. You saw Yingxue being beaten and didn't even let anyone stop you."

The old village chief was even more displeased after hearing Sun's words. The Fang family was really unlikable. Fang Cheng had challenged his authority as village chief before, and now Sun was criticizing him on the spot.

Doesn't he, as the village chief, have any sense of shame?

Why should I stop her? What right do I have to stop her? I'd love to applaud the Su family girl.

"Mrs. Sun, are you deaf? Didn't you hear Yingxue wrongly accuse Su girl of eloping with another man? You can't just say things like eloping without evidence. You deserve to be beaten."

"You you you—"

Sun's slender index finger almost touched the old village chief's forehead, which made the old village chief even more displeased.

"What do you mean, 'you'? Don't you ever look in the mirror, Mrs. Sun? Your lips are all red in the middle of the night; anyone who didn't know better would think they'd seen a ghost."

These words caused the village women to burst into laughter.

Bah! This Sun woman is shameless. Dressed up like this in the middle of the night, who is she trying to seduce?

This widow, Sun, usually liked to act coquettishly in front of the men in the village, pretending to want to borrow things from them, but no one knew what kind of filthy thoughts she had behind the scenes.

Many women were wary of Sun.

Moreover, this Mrs. Sun has the money to buy expensive lip rouge, yet she still comes to borrow a few coins from us poor people. She's really shameless.

Feeling extremely embarrassed under the gaze of so many eyes, Madam Sun quickly took a handkerchief to wipe the lip rouge off her lips.

This is what my daughter brought back from the county town today. She says it's a new product from Yu Rong Xuan and it's very expensive.

Because it was so rare, I couldn't bear to wipe it off even when I went to sleep.

Mrs. Sun kept wiping her mouth with a handkerchief.

Madam Gu then took Su Qianqian's hand and examined it carefully. Seeing the red marks on her daughter's wrist from the rope, she felt particularly distressed. "Daughter, does your hand hurt?"

Fang Yingxue was so angry she felt like she was going to vomit blood. No one was asking her if she was in pain, but the one who did the beating was showing such concern.

"Mother, it hurts too." As soon as Fang Yingxue spoke, she realized that her mouth was being pulled and hurting, and her left and right cheeks were also hurting. It was a piercing pain. That brat Su Qianqian really went too far.

"Mom, my face hurts."

Unfortunately, her mother, Madam Sun, was so focused on applying lip rouge that she paid no attention to her daughter.

Su Qianqian felt heartbroken when she saw that the original owner's mother, Gu Ji, was so thin.

Old Mrs. Su is really awful. She only makes the third branch of the family work, but never lets them eat their fill. Even in good years, she only lets them eat one meal a day.

Looking at the other members of the third branch of the family, Su Bing and Su Ping'an also appeared to be malnourished.

Su Qianqian made up her mind that she had to separate the family, and after that, she would do her best to make sure her family had enough to eat.

Now that I've taken over the original owner's body, it's only natural for me to fulfill my filial duties in place of the original owner.

She still had the white goat she had previously acquired in her space, the one that had been gored to death by a wild boar's tusks, and the silver given to her by Madam Wang from the Meng family. Since the money wasn't divided among the family members, it couldn't be used, otherwise it would just benefit Old Madam Su for nothing.

Su Qianqian comforted Madam Gu, saying, "Mother, don't worry, my hand doesn't hurt."

My sister practiced martial arts in modern times; she didn't volunteer at Wudang Mountain for nothing.

Opportunities to hit someone are rare and must be cherished. Su Qianqian raised her hand and slapped Fang Yingxue twice more on her right cheek, which was covering her left cheek. Now both cheeks were red and swollen, making it symmetrical.

That's good, this looks much better.

The original owner was killed by the Fang siblings at the tender age of youth, and this revenge must be taken.

Consider this a small interest payment for today. I'll find an opportunity in the future to kill that scholar surnamed Fang without implicating my family.

Although Fang Yingxue was a peasant girl, she usually acted like a young lady from a wealthy family, never leaving her home. She was not very strong and was beaten until she fainted on the ground.

Seeing his sister faint, Fang Cheng flew into a rage and shouted, "Su Qianqian, you dared to hit Yingxue! From this moment on, even if you kneel before me, I will never forgive you—"

Su Qianqian scoffed. Who wants to kneel before you? Who wants your forgiveness, you beast?

As for you, you scumbag, you've already caused the original owner's death. If you want to be forgiven, you can only go to the underworld.

Fang Yingxue's mother, Sun, had reddened her eyes. She pulled out a pair of scissors from somewhere, held them up, and looked fierce.

The old village chief wouldn't allow things to get out of control in the village. Seeing that things were about to spiral out of control, he quickly directed the villagers to stop the Fang family mother and son.

"What are you doing? What does your Fang family want to do? A young lady's reputation is so important, yet Yingxue casually slandered someone else for eloping. It's too lenient that you didn't beat her to death."

That's how it is in the village. If someone slanders a girl's reputation, they can really be beaten half to death, and the county government won't care.

The village chief personally confiscated the scissors from Sun's hand, and then gave the villagers an order: "Stop it all, no more commotion, go home and find your mothers."

After the scissors were taken from her, Sun immediately fell to the ground and tightly hugged the village chief's leg: "Village chief, you must stand up for our Fang family! The Su family beat my two children like this, they must pay for their medical expenses."

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Su family was bending down on the ground to help the old lady find her gold earrings when she heard this. She quickly and loudly distanced herself from the matter, saying, "If anyone should be compensated, it should be the third branch of the family. It has nothing to do with us."

The village chief frowned: "We told them to go home, why are they still making a scene! These members of the Fang family are really stubborn and won't listen to reason."

Look how obedient the third branch of the Su family is; they stop when told to, but the Fang family doesn't respect him, the village chief.

Sun cried out loudly, "My Cheng'er is a scholar who has passed the imperial examination! Village chief, you must do justice for him!"

Su Ping'an spat, "Pah! A mere student dares to call himself a master? Does he think everyone knows that only those who pass the county-level exam can be considered true masters?"

Sun, with disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes, threatened, "Village chief, if you can't uphold justice for the Fang family, I'll kill myself right here today."

After saying that, he ran into the big willow tree, but was caught by the sharp-eyed Aunt Li.

The village chief just wanted to be a peaceful village chief and didn't want any fights or deaths to happen in the village, so he quickly arranged for the villagers to carry Sun and the Fang siblings home.

Although he had taken sides, Tong Sheng still had to give him some face. He comforted Fang Cheng, saying, "Chengzi, I'm just trying to protect you. You scholars can't beat farmers. I'm also trying to protect your mother so she doesn't die by crashing into a tree."

Su Qianqian didn't fall asleep until dawn, but because of the huge difference in experience of time travel, she couldn't sleep at all.

Lying in bed, I tossed and turned thinking about things.

The country I traveled to is called the Great Qi Dynasty, which is equivalent to ancient times.

The Su family were peasants, and their livelihood depended on the whims of the heavens.

Although the weather was favorable this year and the harvest was good, the county magistrate lied about the yield in order to improve his political achievements, exaggerating it by several times. As a result, even after the villagers handed over all their grain, they still owed the county government tax grain.

The people in the surrounding villages all relied on digging wild vegetables to fill their stomachs, so the wild vegetables were long gone, and they started eating tree roots and grass roots instead.

Old Mrs. Su had taken a lot of dowry money from the third branch of the family. Moreover, the Su family had always been run by the old lady, and all the family's earnings had to be handed over to her. So the Su family was actually able to afford to eat.

However, Old Mrs. Su was stingy and unwilling to spend money on her family.

Even her eldest and second sons' wives, who supported her, couldn't get any benefits from her.

But the old lady of the Su family was also a very eccentric person. No matter how poor she was, she would never wrong herself. Even when the rest of the family couldn't afford to eat, the old lady would still be able to eat good food.
