Quick Transmigration: After becoming beautiful, I am numb

Chapter 4 Sister-in-law is reborn ([-])

hungry!
The stomach was so empty that it made people feel weak, and it was burning and hurting, and I wished I could put my hand in my mouth.

Originally, Li Xiuniang thought that the days when she was working as a cow and a horse in the Gu family, being teased by her mother-in-law, treated as a mistress by her sister-in-law, and disliked by her brother-in-law, were already the most painful experiences in her life.

Oh, no, the hardest and most difficult thing is not that period of time.

But the son accidentally fell into the water and drowned, the daughter suffered from the cold and survived to death, and he was beaten to death by the old hunter in the mountains.

...Obviously at that time she was heartbroken and couldn't help herself. She felt that her greatest pain was nothing more than this.

But she forgot that for a person, being beaten to death is far worse than starving to death.

Being beaten really hurts, and the sustainable time is very short.

When you close your eyes, everything is over.

Hunger is not.

Especially on the way to escape from famine, starvation was everywhere, and the bark of the trees along the way was stripped off.

Leaves, grass roots...all edible things were snapped up by crazy hungry refugees.

Even some inedible things, such as Avalokitesvara clay, began to be stuffed into their mouths.

There is no way, the feeling of being hungry is too uncomfortable.

Under extreme hunger, people can become animals.

"Grandpa, don't kill me! I, I don't cry anymore, I don't cry hungry, I can work! I can still sell money—"

Last night, she was so hungry that she couldn't sleep. When Li Xiuniang ran to the woods alone to find something to eat, she heard crying not far away.

The girl's voice sounded familiar to Li Xiuniang. She seemed to be the daughter of Li Xiucai's family in the same village.

Li Xiucai is the only talented person in their village. After repeated trials and failures, he opened a private school by himself, relying on Shuxiu, the family lives well.

Li Xiucai has two sons and one daughter. The daughter is the youngest, and the husband and wife love her very much.

Li Xiuniang is very envious of the little girl of the Li family——

When the other girls were still hungry and helping with work, the little girl of the Li family was hugged by Li Xiucai, holding a snack only available in the county, with a white and fat face.

The clothes on his body are also new, not the old clothes that his brothers and sisters wear when they are too small.

The smile on Li Xiucai's little daughter's face was so bright and happy.

But it was such a child who was pampered by his family, who was given by his real grandfather on the way to escape from famine——

In her previous life, Li Xiuniang had long forgotten these painful memories.

She only remembered that when she was a child, there was a disaster at home, and the whole village went out to flee from the famine.

Grandparents, gentle clansmen, and acquainted neighbors, one after another, all fell on the way to flee famine.

And her parents, elder brother, and younger sister all died of illness or hunger.

In the end, there were only uncle, cousin, and her left in their family.

Li Xiuniang didn't know whether she was lucky or unlucky. Just when she and her uncle were about to starve to death, they finally arrived in a small town.

I met Mrs. Zhao who went shopping in the town with her daughter in her arms.

"Three catties of beans! Ma'am, I only want three catties!"

"Look at my niece, she is ten years old, she can work, but she doesn't know how to eat rice."

"You can get married after two or three years, and you can even receive a dowry."

"...The age is not good, and you can't receive the dowry? Do you have a son? It would be good to be a child bride for your own son!"

The uncle seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, lobbying desperately, and by the end, he was almost begging.

Li Xiuniang can't remember all kinds of things in her previous life very clearly.

She only remembered that she was bought by her mother-in-law Zhao with three kilograms of beans.

When she first arrived at the Gu family, she was indeed very grateful to her mother-in-law.

If she hadn't bought herself, she would have died as well as her uncle and cousin.

Therefore, she worked desperately and tried her best to repay her mother-in-law's kindness.

When her husband "died", she was only 17 years old, the age of a flower.

If you remarry, you can also marry a good family.

But she remembered her mother-in-law's life-saving grace, so she didn't remarry, but stayed in Gu's family as a cow and a horse.

Serving her mother-in-law, taking care of her sister-in-law, she would rather wrong her son than grit her teeth and let her brother-in-law study.

Ten years, she worked hard for ten years.

Instead of getting back the gratitude of her husband's family, she was rejected and hurt.

I saw my children die one after another with my own eyes, and I was sold to a remote mountain, where I was abused by an old hunter in his 40s...

Li Xiuniang finally woke up. At the moment of her death, she swore in her heart: "If there is another life, I would rather starve to death than enter the Gu family's door."

Li Xiuniang never thought that after death, it is really possible to do it all over again.

But, why did she have to be reborn on the way to flee famine?
It doesn't matter whether it's earlier or later.

It's been a long time since I've experienced starvation, especially this kind of extreme hunger, which is almost hallucinating.

Li Xiuniang's brain is a little dull, and the hatred and resentment that was so deep in the past seems not so clear.

He bit his lower lip hard and used the pain to remind himself: "No! I can never forget this hatred and hatred!"

They'll be in town soon anyway.

Although this place also suffered a disaster, it was better than their hometown, at least they still had some food in hand.

Instead of going to the Gu family, she can also sell it to other people.

I just can't be with my husband anymore.

Everyone in the Gu family is bad, but her husband is the only one who is kind.

In her previous life, after Li Xiuniang was beaten to death, her spirit wandered back to Gu's house, and she overheard the conversation between Zhao's mother and her son.

It turned out that when my husband was repairing the embankment, he was injured and was washed away by the river.

Downstream, the husband was rescued by a passing general, but after waking up, he forgot who he was.

The general saw that the husband was tall and strong, and still had some strength, so he accepted him as a soldier under his command.

The husband followed the general to the battlefield, made military exploits, and gradually became the general's confidant and lieutenant general.

At this time, it was already ten years later.

When the husband becomes an official, someone promises to marry him.

But the husband said that he had forgotten the past, if he had already married a wife, wouldn't he have harmed two women?
After refusing the marriage, the husband began to search for his identity.

He walked up the river at the address the general had given him.

Perhaps when he arrived at a familiar place, his husband recovered his memory.

It's just that there was another war ahead, and my husband didn't have time to pick up the family in person, so he wrote a letter and ordered someone to send it back.

When the mother-in-law received the letter and found out that her eldest son was not dead and had made military exploits, she immediately beamed with joy.

But after she was happy, the mother-in-law turned gloomy again——

His own son was so promising that the royal princess also married him.

But there is a despicable child bride at home, which is so embarrassing.

The sister-in-law and brother-in-law came up with ideas together, and finally decided to sell Li Xiuniang.

They didn't want to harm Li Xiuniang's sons and daughters, they were the blood of the Gu family after all.

However, it was such a coincidence that Li Xiuniang's son was playful and accidentally fell into the river, and when he was caught, he had died long ago.

The daughter was frightened, and developed a high fever that night. After staying up for less than three days, she also left.

The son and daughter were not killed by the Gu family, but Li Xiuniang couldn't help but resent them - she was busy working in the fields and making money, while her mother-in-law and the other three were idle and didn't bother to take care of the children.

If someone was watching, how could the son fall into the water?How could the daughter be so frightened that she had a fever and then died?
"This time! I will never have anything to do with the Gu family again!"

Although she couldn't let go of her husband, Li Xiuniang couldn't let go of her resentment.

Gu~ Gulu~~
Li Xiuniang was furious and her stomach growled happily.

Her vision began to turn black and her feet were wobbly.

"We're here! There's a town ahead! Once you get to the town, you'll find food!"

Someone in the fleeing team shouted in surprise.

Li Xiuniang, who was dizzy with hunger, instantly became energetic.

She and her cousin supported each other, trying hard to move the heavy steps, step by step towards the town.

However, when we arrived in the town, everyone saw Li Xiuniang and the group avoiding them.

For those refugees who were crying and wanting to sell their sons and daughters, although the residents in the town showed their faces, they just said they were pitiful, and no one was willing to buy them.

"What to buy? Our family is going to sell people, so why buy people? If you buy that girl, you will save the food rations for her?"

Yes, people in small towns are indeed better than refugees.

But in the famine year, the landlord's family had no food left.

"Mom, I want to buy! I want to buy a girl!"

Amidst all the "don't buy" voices, there was a little voice that sounded particularly nice.

Swish!
Including Li Xiuniang, several thin girls looked at the mother and daughter together...

　It is said that when a certain Sa lost weight, he tried to go on a diet, and the feeling of being hungry was really uncomfortable. ┭┮﹏┭┮
