《Reincarnation: The Sweet Wife Is A Miracle Doctor》 Chapter 1 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios [Let me say a few words before everyone reads the novel. This was not the background for this book at the beginning. Due to sensitive reasons, the entire text had to be modified. However, some names might have been missed out. If anyone sees bugs, please help point them out. Zha Nan loves you.] ¡ï Nianyang, I will love you with my life. With time as evidence, I will spend the rest of my life with you. No matter how much time passes, my hand will always be in your hand. I will never leave you¡ªLi Tingyan ¡ï Nianyang felt like she was about to die from a headache. She opened her eyes in a daze and was dumbfounded by the scene that greeted her eyes. She was in a dark and old room, there was not even a window. The air was extremely stuffy and hot, and there was a nauseating smell of sour mold. The dark earthen brick wall was covered in yellowing black and white newspapers. On the table opposite with a broken arm and leg was a rusty iron porcelain cup. What was this place? Before Nianyang could react, a memory that did not belong to her suddenly surged into her mind. She was originally an outstanding doctor of the 21st century. One second, she was still receiving an award on the stage of the medical field. The next second, she was smashed to death by a crystal chandelier that suddenly fell. She did not expect to be reborn in the body of someone with the same name as her. This was a town in the 1990s. The original owner, Gu Nianyang, had a miserable life. His parents had been extremely biased towards her sister, Gu Youlan, since she was young. In the Gu family, the older sister was a treasure and the younger sister was a chaff. Her sister ate meat while she could only drink vegetable soup. The original owner of the body had been reduced to a slave at home since she was sensible. Every day, other than going to school, she did housework non-stop. She could only wear the clothes that her older sister did not want. Because she had never eaten meat, the body¡¯s original owner was malnourished and thin. She looked like a telephone pole. At 17 years old, she looked like she was 13 years old. The original owner of the body was very weak and incompetent. She did not dare to make a sound when she was bullied. On account of their relationship, she allowed the Gu family to suck her blood like maggots. In the end, it led to a series of tragedies. Nianyang stopped recalling the past and looked down at her bare body. It was as if a gust of wind could blow her away. She only had one thought in her heart. Miserable! The original owner of the body was really too miserable! She was so miserable that the child next door cried because they could not bear to watch! However, since the heavens had given her a chance to live again, the weak and incompetent Gu Nianyang was dead from now on. She had occupied the original owner¡¯s body. From now on, she was the original owner. She would take revenge for the original owner of this body! Through the memories just now, Nianyang knew that she had been reborn into the turning point of the original owner¡¯s fate. On this day, the original owner of the body was supposed to go to school to take the preliminaries, but last night, she was forced by Mrs. Gu, Wang Ying, to wash her clothes for the entire night in the rain, causing the original owner of the body to have a high fever and not be able to take the preliminaries. She missed the college entrance examination that happened the next year, dropped out of school, and became a puppet that the Gu family could ravage. The original owner¡¯s life started to gradually fall into hell from this day. Since she was here now, she would start to change from the root. She had to rush to school to take the preliminaries. This time, not only did she want to take the college entrance examination, but she also wanted to enter the university she dreamed of! She quickly lifted the dirty blanket covering her body and forced her weak and hot body to the door. She saw a fist-sized lock on it. In the original owner¡¯s memory, Wang Ying had specially gone to town to buy this lock. It was a funny story. In order to cut off the original owner¡¯s path, this was the first time she had taken the initiative to spend money for the original owner! Nianyang did not care about the lock at all. Apart from being a doctor, she had also learned all kinds of demolition skills, it was just a mere door lock. Her dark and lively eyes quickly circled the room. In the end, she took out an embroidery needle from the broken wardrobe and fiddled with the lock a few times. With a click, the lock fell. As soon as Nianyang stepped out of the threshold, Wang Ying, who had heard the commotion, rushed over. ¡°Wretched girl, who allowed you to come out? Get in and lie down!¡± Nianyang narrowed her eyes and glanced at the bloated middle-aged woman in front of her. This was the biased mother of the original owner. When she thought of her torture of the original owner, she really wanted to press her to the ground and rub her against the ground! But now was not the time! The tip of her tongue touched the side of her mouth. The young girl¡¯s tender voice sounded slightly hoarse from her high fever. ¡°Mom, I¡¯m taking my exam today. Why did you lock my door?¡± ¡°Who asked you to be so useless? You can even have a fever from washing clothes. I feared the cold wind would blow in and worsen your condition, so I locked the door!¡± Wang Ying¡¯s eyes flickered as she said guiltily. Ha, afraid of the cold wind blowing in? How can someone come up with such a stupid excuse? ¡°Really? Then thank you for your concern, Mom!¡± Nianyang said coldly, her eyes flickering with an ice-cold glint. Wang Ying¡¯s heart skipped a beat. It was really strange. In the past, wasn¡¯t this wretched girl as timid as a mouse? She didn¡¯t even dare to speak loudly. How dare she give her an attitude after waking up? That gaze was really terrifying! And that lock was the most difficult lock to unlock. It could not be unlocked without a key. How did that b*tch open it? Before Wang Ying could think it through, Nianyang strode out of the door. ¡°Wretched girl, where are you going?!¡± Wang Ying stood in front of Nianyang warily. ¡°Today is the preliminaries. Of course I¡¯m going to take the examination.¡± ¡°Exam? What exam are you taking, you jinx? Your results are so bad, you useless fool. Stop embarrassing yourself in school. Since you¡¯re awake, go to the courtyard to feed the pigs. You¡¯re not allowed to go anywhere!¡± Wang Ying screamed and scolded, her saliva almost spraying onto Nianyang¡¯s face. She and her eldest daughter had planned for a month before they came up with a foolproof plan to make her youngest daughter get a fever so she could not take the exam. They even specially spent three yuan to buy a lock. It made her heart ache. If that wretched girl went for the exam, wouldn¡¯t her efforts be wasted? Most importantly, if her stupid little daughter was lucky enough to pass the exam and had to continue her third year of high school, she would definitely waste the family¡¯s money. The money at home had to be saved for her precious eldest daughter to study at university. Her lowly youngest daughter could forget about using a single cent. She should serve their family like a dog! She wants to take the exam? Dream on! Nianyang frowned when she heard that. She had never seen such a vicious mother. It was as if the original owner was not her daughter but her enemy. She ignored Wang Ying and turned to walk towards the back door. If not for the fact that she was afraid of wasting time, she would definitely teach Wang Ying a lesson, this vicious woman would not have had the chance to shout and scream. When Wang Ying saw that her youngest daughter, who had always been obedient to her, actually dared to disobey her, she was like a hen that had exploded. She rushed forward, grabbed Nianyang¡¯s ponytail, and pulled her back. ¡°Little b*stard, do you not understand human language? I told you to go feed the pigs!¡± Wang Ying shouted. She raised her hand and slapped Nianyang¡¯s face. All these years, she had been used to beating and scolding Nianyang. In her eyes, Nianyang was her punching bag. Her palms itched if she did not hit her. Caught off guard, Nianyang was slapped. She was already thin and weak, and she was burning up. The slap almost made her faint on the spot. Nianyang had lived for 25 years in her previous life. When had she ever been slapped in the face? Her gaze immediately turned cold and she slapped Wang Ying back! She did not care about the logic of her elders and parents. The original owner was weak and afraid of Wang Ying. But she would not let herself suffer, she had always taken revenge. Besides, Wang Ying was not her mother. She did not feel burdened at all. ¡°Ah! You damn b*tch, how dare you hit me? Do you want to die? I¡¯ll kill you today, you money-wasting piece of trash!¡± Wang Ying, who had been slapped by her youngest daughter, pounced on Nianyang like a lunatic, looking like she wanted to kill her. ¡°I think you¡¯re the one who doesn¡¯t want to live anymore!¡± Nianyang sneered. She calmly flashed the embroidery needle on her fingertip and stabbed it at Wang Ying, who was pouncing on her. She studied Chinese medicine and knew the acupoints of the human body very well. She naturally knew how to make the other party suffer. Wang Ying was not smart enough. Wang Ying saw that the figure of Nianyang flashed in front of her. Then, heart-wrenching pain erupted from all parts of her body. She fell to the ground and rolled around, screaming. Nianyang¡¯s heart did not waver at all. She even wanted to laugh. She thought to herself, This pain is nothing. Compared to what you did to the original owner, this is just a little interest from her. Time was tight. She ignored Wang Ying and rushed out of the house. Chapter 2 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The weather in July was scorching hot. Nianyang ran to the road in one breath, but all she saw was the bus emitting exhaust fumes. That was the only transportation to town in the afternoon. She was still a step too late! Nianyang¡¯s face turned pale. She estimated that it would take at least half an hour to reach the school from here. She could not make it in time! What should she do? Was she going to repeat the mistake of the original owner in her previous life? Beep beep¡­ A car horn sounded behind her. Nianyang turned around in surprise and saw a small car speeding over! This was really timely. Nianyang went up to the car that was driving straight at her without hesitation. ¡°Screech¡ª¡± The driver was obviously shocked. He stepped on the brakes reflexively. The moment the car stopped, Nianyang quickly pulled open the back door and jumped in. ¡°Who let you in?¡± As soon as Nianyang sat in, she felt that something was wrong. Before she could sense anything, a cold and magnetic voice entered her ears. Nianyang shuddered and felt the temperature on her body drop. In front of her was a handsome man. His short hair was combed neatly, his forehead was full, his eyebrows were sharp, and his black eyes were cold. Under his high nose bridge, his pursed thin lips revealed his displeasure. The man was dressed in iron-gray outerwear. His face was cold and he had an imposing aura. His entire body exuded a fierce aura that was filled with alienation and coldness. There was a faint sea breeze on him that smelled especially comfortable. There was also the symbol of a blue sail on his chest. Obviously, the man was in the business of sea merchants. The sea merchants of the 1990s would become rich in the future. This was a big shot! [What are you waiting for? Hurry up and pounce on him. Possess him.] A soft and cute voice suddenly sounded in her mind, scaring Nianyang so much that she almost screamed. Who, who was speaking? ¡°How long do you want to sit on my lap?¡± Li Tingyan spoke again. His voice was deep, mellow, and pleasant, with a hint of hoarseness. While Nianyang was sizing him up, he also looked at her from head to toe. The girl was wearing a washed-out school uniform. She did not look good, but her foundation was excellent. Her facial features were exquisite and beautiful, but she was sallow and thin. Her figure was also dry and light like a cat. Only then did Nianyang realize that she was sitting on the man¡¯s lap. No wonder it felt strange. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± She was really embarrassed. Why was she sitting on someone¡¯s lap? In this era where one had to be responsible until the end for holding hands, would the other party think that she was a female hooligan? Nianyang got off his lap in a hurry and ignored the childish voice that had just appeared. Li Tingyan¡¯s well-defined bronze hand meticulously smoothed the creases in his pants and his thin lips touched. ¡°Get out!¡± He had never liked to get close to others. If he did not have the habit of not hitting women, he would have kicked Nianyang out long ago! Nianyang¡¯s face stiffened. This person was really fierce. What a waste of his good face. If not for the circumstances, she would definitely roll her eyes at him! ¡°Uh, this handsome¡­¡± She suddenly realized that the term handsome was not popular in this era. What should a man be called? Nianyang thought for a while and leaned forward slightly with her hands on both sides of Li Tingyan¡¯s thighs. She leaned close to his ear and said, ¡°Hello, Sir. I¡¯m a student from the town¡¯s middle school. I¡¯m going to participate in a very important exam now. I¡¯m already late. Can you do a good deed and send me there?¡± Her voice was as soft as a cat¡¯s meow. When she spoke, the heat from her mouth entered his ears. Li Tingyan¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He looked down at her. Her dark cheek was flushed red. It was obvious that she had been slapped. Li Tingyan¡¯s heart tightened and his lowered palm moved. He actually wanted to reach out to touch her face. The sudden thought shocked him. He immediately clenched his fists. He had always been cold and distant. She was just a girl he had just met, but he could not help but feel sorry for her. This feeling was too strange. When he trained his crew to work overseas, he tortured them until they were on their last breath and he did not even blink! Li Tingyan didn¡¯t say anything. Wang Donglai, who was in charge of driving, turned around and said, ¡°Hello, little girl. This is an official car, not a taxi. Besides, we have an urgent matter. You should find someone else to send you!¡± ¡°What about an official car? Isn¡¯t it more appropriate to be impartial? Besides, you guys look like righteous heroes. It shouldn¡¯t be a problem for you to help!¡± Nianyang turned on her crazy brainwashing mode. She would say anything to achieve her goal. In her previous life, she had even established a business empire in her spare time and opened different regional companies under her. The years of polishing at work had made her eloquent. Chapter 3 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Wang Donglai was dumbfounded. Oh my god, he had never seen a girl who knew how to speak so well. She was like a cannonball. He was so stupid that he couldn¡¯t even let out a fart. He could only look at his master for help. Li Tingyan was still expressionless, but he was thinking that not only was this little girl bold, but she also had a sharp tongue. However, he really f*cking liked her. She was much more interesting than those pretentious and delicate little girls. ¡°Is that so? But what if I¡¯m a selfish person?¡± Li Tingyan looked at Nianyang coldly. His lazy and casual tone gave off an inviolable sense of dignity. When Nianyang met the man¡¯s dark eyes, her heart skipped a beat. She had seen all kinds of storms in her previous life, but she was inexplicably afraid of this old cadre in front of her. If word got out, could she still keep her face? She blinked. Before she could think of an answer, she was interrupted by Wang Donglai¡¯s shocked voice. ¡°Ah! I remember now. Aren¡¯t you the Silly Second Daughter, Gu Nianyang, who lives in the Gu Family Home in Zhendong?¡± Silly Second Daughter? Nianyang was stunned for a moment before she remembered that the Host did have such a reputation in town. This was because the original owner of the body was wooden and autistic. She did not like to greet others and was timid in everything she did. Her academic results were also very poor. Coupled with the comparison of Gu Youlan, the sister who pretended to be smart, everyone naturally felt that the original owner was stupid. Nianyang rolled her eyes and said in a familiar tone, ¡°Oh, oh, I remember now. You¡¯re Brother Donglai, the son of Uncle Big Saber from the Westside of town!¡± Uncle Big Saber was a famous butcher in this town. The original owner had been buying pork from Uncle Big Saber for the past few years and had some interactions with Wang Donglai. However, after Wang Donglai went out to sea to work, the original owner¡¯s impression of him faded. ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s been three years since we last met. I didn¡¯t expect you to still remember me!¡± Wang Donglai said with a smile. At the same time, he sized up Nianyang in surprise. He could not match this energetic and smart girl who spoke as if she was reciting a crosstalk with the timid little girl from three years ago who always had a hunched back and spoke as softly as a mosquito. It seemed that time was really magical. It could actually change a person¡¯s personality drastically. ¡°Are you done catching up?¡± Looking at Nianyang and Wang Donglai chatting happily, Li Tingyan¡¯s aura suddenly became sharp, and the air pressure in the car suddenly decreased. Wang Donglai immediately realized that his supervisor was unhappy. Perhaps he didn¡¯t like to be ignored, he immediately said, ¡°By the way, second daughter of the Gu Family, let me give you an introduction. This is my company¡¯s supervisor, Master Li. Speaking of which, you have a relationship with my boss. Your fianc¨¦, Zhang Zhiqiang¡¯s aunt is Boss¡¯s distant aunt, Fang Lan!¡± After Wang Donglai mentioned it, Nianyang remembered that the Host did have a cheap fianc¨¦¡­ ¡°Really? Then there really was a friendly fire today. Since we¡¯re so fated, why don¡¯t you make an exception and let me tag along with your car?¡± Nianyang grinned and stuck out her tongue at Li Tingyan cutely. So cute. This thought suddenly appeared in Li Tingyan¡¯s heart, and even his heart itched. However, when he thought about how she was actually another man¡¯s fianc¨¦e, Li Tingyan couldn¡¯t help but frown and feel inexplicably frustrated. ¡°I¡¯m not free,¡± Li Tingyan said without hesitation. It was unforgivable. Nianyang was so depressed. She had already said so much. This Brother Li was too unreasonable! Sigh, how could he find a wife with such a cold heart? She looked at Wang Donglai helplessly. Wang Donglai looked helpless. Nianyang was anxious. The examination was in twenty minutes. She had to tag along with this car to make it! As the wind blew, Nianyang stared at Li Tingyan¡¯s thigh and her eyes lit up. ¡°Brother Li, your leg was corroded by the cold three years ago, leaving behind a very serious sequela. It flares up once a month, right?!¡± Li Tingyan¡¯s pupils constricted and he looked at Nianyang cautiously. ¡°How did you know?¡± ¡°I have medical skills. As long as you send me to school now, I can treat the illness in your leg.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Li Tingyan raised his eyebrows, but he did not think much of it. Because Nianyang was just a little girl. How could she have medical skills?! Moreover, how could a doctor determine the patient¡¯s condition without even checking their pulse? He reckoned the girl was just lucky. At this moment, Li Tingyan did not expect that he would contradict himself later. ¡°Really, really!¡± Nianyang nodded vigorously and looked at Li Tingyan eagerly. One second, two seconds, three seconds¡­ ¡°To the middle school in town,¡± Li Tingyan said to Wang Donglai. For some reason, looking at Nianyang¡¯s pitiful gaze, he really couldn¡¯t bear to refuse. ¡°Okay!¡± Wang Donglai replied and immediately stepped on the accelerator. Ten minutes later, the car stopped. Nianyang hurriedly thanked him and rushed out of the car without looking back. She went straight to school. ¡°Boss, let me tell you. You didn¡¯t know when you first came to our place. The second daughter of the Gu Family has changed too much. She was clearly such an autistic little girl in the past¡­¡± Wang Donglai sighed at Nianyang¡¯s back. Hearing Wang Donglai¡¯s tone, Li Tingyan was inexplicably unhappy, as if something that belonged to him was being coveted. Li Tingyan¡¯s narrow eyes darkened. ¡°Why? Have you taken a fancy to her?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Li Tingyan¡¯s gaze was too terrifying, as if if he nodded, he would immediately break his neck! His cold threatening words made Wang Donglai immediately sit up straight. ¡°Master Li, I only want to get rich.¡± The pressure in Li Tingyan¡¯s eyes quickly disappeared. He ordered, ¡°Go back!¡± Chapter 4 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Nianyang ran into the examination hall in one go. Students had to enter the venue ten minutes in advance for such a major examination. When Nianyang entered, the bell rang. The form teacher, Li Jianwen, looked dissatisfied. ¡°Gu Nianyang, it¡¯s fine if your results are bad, but why are you almost late for such an important exam? Nianyang apologized with sweat all over her forehead, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Li. I¡¯ll take note the next time.¡± Li Jianwen was stunned. He could not help but size up Nianyang strangely. This student had been alone since school started. She never took the initiative to greet her teachers and classmates. She did not say anything even when she was scolded for failing the exam. She always had her hair down and looked sloppy and gloomy. Why was she different today? Nianyang remained calm as she followed the test number to her seat. As soon as she sat down, a girl with a few freckles on her face said in shock, ¡°Gu Nianyang, why are you here?¡± Nianyang glanced at the girl and quickly sorted out the girl¡¯s information in her mind. Yang Haiyan, who was the learning monitor of the original owner¡¯s class, was also Gu Youlan¡¯s best friend. Because Gu Youlan deliberately fanned the flames and guided her, she relied on the original owner¡¯s stupidity to bully and prank the original owner several times in the past. Nianyang¡¯s eyes were cold. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t I be here for the preliminaries today?¡± Yang Haiyan smiled guiltily. ¡°No, I was just asking¡­¡± What was going on? Gu Youlan had clearly told her that Gu Nianyang would not be here for the exam today. Moreover, this stupid pig actually tied up her hair and her facial features looked even better than hers. Most importantly, she actually dared to talk back. She was completely different from the cowardly look she had a few days ago! Yang Haiyan stared at Nianyang. She was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. She wished she could jump up and beat Nianyang up, but she could not flare up because of the examination. Of course, Nianyang knew how Yang Haiyan felt. She smiled calmly. She was very surprised, right? But don¡¯t be anxious. This was only the beginning. The real show was still to come. She would not let go of anyone who had harmed the original owner! The exam started¡ª Because it was only the preliminaries and not the official college entrance examination, they only took the three subjects of Chinese, Mathematics, and English. Moreover, in order to save money, the school still integrated the key questions of the three subjects into one test paper. Although Nianyang had not taken the college entrance examination in her previous life, she had learned from the old professor for several years. Besides, she had a photographic memory. High school knowledge was a piece of cake for her. Nianyang completed the test paper perfectly without any effort. She did not intend to deliberately lower her score just because the Host¡¯s results were bad. She had already thought about it. If everyone questioned her results, she would say that it was because Gu Youlan did not want her outstanding results to be compared to hers and so she forced her to intentionally get bad grades. She could make it Gu Youlan¡¯s fault and ruin Gu Youlan¡¯s reputation. It was killing two birds with one stone! Hehe, Gu Youlan had done so many vicious things to the Host in the past. Nianyang had to let her have a taste of being misunderstood and despised by others. * * * Nianyang handed in her paper and left in advance. She was already prepared to go home and fight. When she came out at noon, she taught Wang Ying a lesson. Wang Ying must have been so angry that she wanted to kill her. Besides, Wang Ying would definitely not be satisfied if she did not successfully stop her from taking the exam. Nianyang guessed that Wang Ying would make a fuss about her beating her up and get the neighbors to help teach her a lesson. Then, Wang Ying would naturally force her to drop out of school. As expected, as soon as she reached the courtyard door, she heard Wang Ying¡¯s ear-piercing voice wailing in the courtyard. ¡°God, my family¡¯s backstabbing second daughter. I just asked her to help me do some housework, but she actually slapped me, pushed me to the ground, and beat me up. My body is in so much pain that I can¡¯t straighten my back. Everyone, please be reasonable. How can a child hit their parents in this world? What sin have I committed?!¡± Chapter 5 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Although she had long been prepared, after hearing Wang Ying¡¯s words, Nianyang¡¯s heart still turned cold. She felt sorry for the original owner! The original owner¡¯s family lived in a large mixed courtyard at the east of the town. The Gu family was not the only family in the courtyard. There were also other neighbors. There were many gossipy people in the countryside and they loved to pay attention to other people¡¯s family matters. Even matters the size of sesame seeds could be blown out of proportion. Wang Ying¡¯s shout would definitely cause a commotion. In this era, country bumpkins emphasized that filial piety was the most important. If children were disrespectful to their parents, they would be criticized. The Host had worked hard for the Gu family for more than ten years, but Wang Ying did not hesitate to slander the Host in public for her own benefit. She simply wanted to ruin the Host¡¯s reputation. No wonder the Host ended up being despised by everyone in her previous life. She was really unlucky to have such a mother. As expected, when they heard Wang Ying¡¯s howl in the courtyard, everyone pushed open the door and walked out. After knowing that Wang Ying had been beaten up by her weak and incompetent daughter, they expressed their disbelief. ¡°Auntie Gu, are you mistaken? Your second daughter is so timid that I can¡¯t even hear her when she speaks. How can she hit you?!¡± The person who spoke was Widow Jin, who lived next door. She usually liked to pull the women around her to gossip and was famous for being a gossipy woman. Seeing that no one believed her, Wang Ying howled even louder. ¡°Heavens. How can I be wrong about my own daughter? Actually, you¡¯ve all been deceived by my second daughter. She usually pretends to be quiet outside, but she¡¯s actually very scheming inside. She often talks back to me at home and throws a tantrum when she¡¯s tasked to do work. She can¡¯t compare to my eldest daughter at all. Today, she became worse and beat me up. She really wants to kill me!¡± With that, Wang Ying twisted her waist and cried out in pain. That pained expression did not seem to be fake. Everyone could not help but be convinced. ¡°In my opinion, which mother would slander her daughter? I think we¡¯ve most likely misjudged her. So the second daughter of the Gu family is quite scheming!¡± ¡°Aiyo, this is too outrageous. No matter how rebellious their second daughter is, she can¡¯t hit her own mother. She¡¯s violated the ancestral teachings and is unfilial!¡± ¡°Auntie Gu, when your second daughter comes back later, we have to talk to her nicely!¡± ¡°Who¡¯s calling me?¡± Nianyang carried a tattered cloth bag and walked into everyone¡¯s line of sight timidly. This was the first time the neighbors had heard Nianyang speak loudly. The girl¡¯s voice was sweet and soft, and her pronunciation of Mandarin was very standard. She did not have any accent at all, just like a female radio host on a tape. Then, they saw that Nianyang had tied her hair up today. Previously, her hair was always disheveled, and everyone thought that she looked gloomy and ugly. Now, it seemed that Gu Erya¡¯s facial features were actually so exquisite and beautiful. If her skin could be fairer, she would definitely be the best-looking girl in town! However, everyone¡¯s attention quickly returned to the main topic and they asked in unison. ¡°Second daughter of the Gu family, what¡¯s wrong with you? How could you hit your mother?!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s not that I want to criticize you, but you¡¯re already so old. What¡¯s wrong with helping your mother do some housework? Look at how your mother is being tormented. That¡¯s your biological mother!¡± ¡°Second Girl of the Gu Family, it¡¯s been so hard for your mother to raise you. Back then, she even sold her land to give birth to you. Why can¡¯t you be sensible like your sister?¡± The neighbors reprimanded her one after another. Wang Ying glared at Nianyang smugly, thinking that even if the b*tch rushed to the exam, it would be useless. In the end, she would still have to obediently drop out of school and work hard for the Gu family! When everyone is done helping me deal with you later, I¡¯ll lock you up and beat you up until you¡¯re half dead. How dare you slap me? I¡¯ll kill you! With reddened eyes, Nianyang said in a choked voice, ¡°Uncles and aunties, you¡¯ve misunderstood. How could I dare to hit my mother? It was my mother who hit me. She knew that I had an exam tomorrow, but she still forced me to wash clothes on a rainy night last night. She caused me to have a high fever and refused to give me medicine. She even wanted to lock me in the house and not let me take the exam. Fortunately, I ran quickly. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to attend Year Three and enter university!¡± ¡®What?¡¯ Everyone was shocked. They did not expect there to be such a shocking backstory. In order to stop her youngest daughter from taking the exam, Wang Ying actually deliberately made her youngest daughter wash clothes in the rain, causing her youngest to have a high fever and she did not give her medicine. Wasn¡¯t this intentional? Besides, Gu Nianyang was already in her second year of high school this year. She was about to enter university in another year. In this day and age, it would be a blessing if she could get into university. How could Wang Ying be ruthless enough to stop her? She really could not tell. Wang Ying usually valued her eldest daughter¡¯s schooling. Why was she so biased when it came to her youngest daughter? Wasn¡¯t this daughter her biological daughter? ¡°You wretched girl! What nonsense are you talking about? How dare you say that again?!¡± Wang Ying roared angrily when she heard that Nianyang did not admit to anything she said like before. She even dared to bite back and tell the public that she had stopped her from taking the exam and hit her. Chapter 6 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Wang Ying cared a lot about her reputation. She didn¡¯t want everyone to know that she was abusing her younger daughter, so she bullied her younger daughter behind their backs. Until the original owner died in her previous life, no one knew Wang Ying¡¯s true colors. Today she would help the Host expose this vicious woman¡¯s fake mask of being a benevolent mother. A cold glint flashed in Nianyang¡¯s eyes. She shrunk her neck and looked like she was frightened. She bit her lower lip with all her might and tears welled up in her eyes. ¡°Mom, did I say something wrong? Didn¡¯t you slap my face? Didn¡¯t you force me to wash my clothes last night? It was raining so heavily last night and you locked me in the courtyard and didn¡¯t let me in. I was drenched and you didn¡¯t care even when I kept saying that it was cold. In the end, you only carried me into the house when I fainted.¡± ¡°I know. You just don¡¯t want me to continue studying. You want me to drop out of school to farm at home and save money for my sister to study. We¡¯re both your daughters. Why are you so biased? Ever since I was young, no matter what food or drinks we have at home, you¡¯ll let my sister have it. I¡¯ve never even eaten an egg since I was young. Mom, I can tolerate all of this. I just want to study. As long as you let me continue studying, I¡¯ll listen to everything you say. Besides, you can hit me however much you want in the future. I definitely won¡¯t cry out loud and let the neighbors hear so as to not ruin your reputation.¡± ¡°You!¡± Wang Ying choked on her words. A mouthful of blood was stuck in her throat. It couldn¡¯t go up or down. This damn b*tch had learned to complain after venting her anger. She wanted the Gu family¡¯s reputation to be ruined! Hearing Nianyang¡¯s words, the neighbors¡¯ worldview was refreshed. They did not expect Wang Ying to treat her youngest daughter like this behind their backs. Moreover, according to the second daughter of the Gu family, Wang Ying often beat her up. In order to protect her reputation, she even stopped the girl from crying. They did not expect Wang Ying to be so vicious. Even a stepmother wouldn¡¯t do this! Coincidentally, Mr. Gu, Gu Yuandao, returned from work. Everyone immediately started talking. ¡°Uncle Gu, you¡¯re finally back. Who¡¯s the head of your family? Your wife even gave your second daughter a fever in order to prevent her from studying!¡± ¡°Look at the slap on your youngest daughter¡¯s face. Nianyang is already a big girl and she¡¯s still having a fever. Your wife can even do that. Aren¡¯t you afraid of ruining your second daughter¡¯s face?¡± ¡°Your second daughter and your eldest daughter are both your daughters. I usually see you guys caring for your eldest daughter. Why are you so harsh on your youngest daughter? You¡¯re so biased!¡± Gu Yuandao¡¯s face flushed red. ¡°Everyone, you¡¯ve misunderstood. How can we abuse our youngest daughter? Our family has always treated everyone equally!¡± As he spoke, he glared at Wang Ying secretly. What was wrong with this woman? Didn¡¯t she usually hide her beating and scolding of their youngest daughter? Why did everyone know about it today? If word got out, would he still be able to keep his head up? ¡°Dad, help me persuade Mom to let me continue studying, okay? If you don¡¯t want to spend money on me, I¡¯m willing to reduce my portion of food by half every day and do more housework. I¡¯ll serve you like a cow or a horse!¡± Nianyang stammered. Her pale lips trembled slightly. She looked delicate and pitiful, making one¡¯s heart ache. As for Gu Yuan, in the original owner¡¯s memory, he was very cold to the original owner and had never cared about her. Every time Wang Ying abused the original owner, he would not join in, but he would not stop her. However, there was one thing. He worked at the farm factory in town and cared more about his reputation than Wang Ying did. Nianyang accused Wang Ying of her evil deeds in public. She did not believe that Gu Yuandao would turn a blind eye! The neighbors were even more supportive. They spoke up for Nianyang. ¡°Uncle Gu, your family doesn¡¯t know how to do anything. That¡¯s your biological daughter. It¡¯s not easy to get into university these days. Who would force someone to drop out of school?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a famine now. You work in the factory too. Your salary is at least 40 to 50 yuan a month, right? It¡¯s not like you can¡¯t afford to support your daughter¡¯s studies. The day before yesterday, I saw your wife buy three new dresses for your eldest daughter!¡± ¡°You¡¯re treating everyone equally? Why don¡¯t I see your wife asking your eldest daughter to drop out of school? How can you not know that your second daughter¡¯s life is so hard? Look at how thin your second daughter is. Are you going to let your wife ruin your youngest daughter?¡± Gu Yuandao was so embarrassed that he couldn¡¯t raise his head. He wished there was a hole in the ground that he could crawl into. He couldn¡¯t help but complain about his youngest daughter today. Wasn¡¯t she usually very sensible? Didn¡¯t she usually swallow all her troubles? How could she expose her mother in front of so many people? ¡°Yangyang, don¡¯t spout nonsense. How can your mother not let you study? You¡¯ve misunderstood her. Hurry up and go home with Dad.¡± As Gu Yuandao spoke, he was about to pull Nianyang into the house. He could not afford to lose his reputation. He had to bring her home immediately, close the door, and talk about it. No matter what, he could not publicize what happened at home! Nianyang took a step back and shouted with a choked voice, ¡°I¡¯m not going home. If I go back with you, not only will you not let me continue studying, you¡¯ll also beat me up and not give me food. I¡¯m not afraid of being beaten up or being hungry. Anyway, I¡¯m already used to being hungry. I¡¯m just afraid that I won¡¯t be able to return to school!¡± ¡°Stupid girl, do you want to die? When did I not give you food?¡± Wang Ying cursed. This jinx was still so arrogant when she hit her in the afternoon. Now, she knew how to pretend to be pitiful to gain sympathy. At this moment, Gu Youlan, who had just returned from the examinations, heard the whole story. Her expression changed drastically as she quickly walked to Nianyang and held her hand. ¡°Yangyang, what are you making a fuss about? How can Dad and Mom not let you continue studying?¡± Chapter 7 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Nianyang stared at the girl in front of her who was wearing a sea-blue checkered dress. She had an oval face and slender eyes. This was the original owner¡¯s white lotus sister who had a poisonous heart. She thought of how the Host had treated her wholeheartedly in her previous life. Even if her parents were biased, the Host had never complained. She had even thought of ways to save money to buy delicious food for Gu Youlan. The Host¡¯s sincerity resulted in Gu Youlan taking things from the Host even more naturally. Even the Host¡¯s fianc¨¦, Zhang Zhiqiang, was seduced by her. Gu Youlan felt a chill down her spine under Nianyang¡¯s cold gaze. She forced a smile and said, ¡°Yangyang, did you hear someone say something? Don¡¯t misunderstand. Our mother definitely feels sorry for you. Mom has been worried about us going to university next year, so her temper is inevitably worse. I asked you to wash my clothes last night because Mom was not feeling well during her period and I happened to fall asleep. The rain was unexpected too. We didn¡¯t expect you to suddenly have a fever and faint. As for stopping you from taking the exam, that¡¯s even more impossible. You have to forgive our mother.¡± Gu Youlan knew how to speak very well. She made it sound as if Nianyang was being unreasonable. Looking at Gu Youlan¡¯s emotional and reasonable performance, Nianyang sneered in her heart. Did she still think she was the silly original owner of the body? She still had the cheek to show off such clumsy acting skills in front of her. After all, she had lived for 25 years in her previous life and had watched so many palace dramas. Besides, didn¡¯t you, Gu Youlan, rely on pretending to be elegant, gentle, and kind to get the love of the neighbors and townspeople? Now, let¡¯s see how she would tear off her ¡°good sister¡¯s¡± mask bit by bit. Then, she would pay back double what Gu Youlan had done to the original owner! Nianyang was even better at acting than Gu Youlan. ¡°Sister, you don¡¯t have to lie to me anymore. If Mom really wanted me to take the exam, why did she buy a lock and close the door? She knew that I had a high fever but she still hit me. She didn¡¯t even buy me medicine. In the past, Mom was so nervous that she wanted to bring you to the clinic every time you caught a cold!¡± Gu Youlan¡¯s expression froze. Nianyang took advantage of the situation and continued, ¡°Besides, don¡¯t you know how Mom treats me? Sister, I¡¯m clearly the younger sister, but I¡¯ve been doing housework since I was young. I¡¯ll be beaten up if I slack off even a little. Mom said that the hands of a girl are very important and can¡¯t be soaked in water, so she never lets you do housework, but she treats me like a slave. Am I not a girl? My hands are forced to wash clothes with cold water in the middle of winter. The frostbites I get are itchy and I don¡¯t even have a patch of healthy skin, but Sister, your hands are fair and tender. Moreover, because I¡¯ve never eaten a mouthful of meat or fish, I almost fainted because of malnutrition in gym class several times. How can I forgive her?¡± By the time Nianyang reached the end of her sentence, her emotions had already been replaced by the original owner of her body. She felt aggrieved and unfair towards her parents for being biased. Tears streamed down her face. The surrounding neighbors¡¯ eyes turned red. They had lived in this courtyard together for decades. They had never thought that the second daughter of the Gu family would live a life that was worse than pigs and dogs. The Gu couple was really too much. This was no longer biasedness. They were simply not fit to be parents! Gu Yuandao broke out in a cold sweat under the disdainful gazes of the surrounding people. He did not know how to resolve the current situation. If he did not think of a way to clarify things, the news of him abusing his youngest daughter would spread throughout town tomorrow. Gu Youlan was stunned. It was as if Gu Nianyang had become a different person. Her words were so imposing. Her personality was completely different from the sandbag-like personality she used to have, she agreed to whatever she said in the past! Gu Youlan suddenly felt a sense of danger. She felt that she might not be able to control Gu Nianyang anymore! Wang Ying, who had come back to her senses, saw that the situation was turning towards Nianyang. She immediately explained anxiously, ¡°Neighbors, don¡¯t believe this stubborn girl¡¯s words! She¡¯s slandering me. I¡¯m her biological mother. How can I not dote on her? I¡¯m just letting her do the housework to train her. I¡¯m not giving her meat and fish because I¡¯m afraid that no one will want her if she gains weight. As for hitting her often, that¡¯s even more impossible!¡± Gu Youlan said, ¡°That¡¯s right, Yangyang. How can you slander Mom? Mom is your biological mother, not your stepmother. Even if I beat you up, it¡¯s just a light hit. As daughters, how can we take revenge on our biological mother?¡± Nianyang was so angry that she laughed. She rolled up her sleeves and revealed the bruises on her arms that Wang Ying had left behind when she hit the Host. ¡°Sister, do you think this is a small hit? Mom was just short of killing me. She almost broke my leg the last time. You were watching from the side when I was beaten. I knelt on the ground and cried for you to save me, but you were watching the show from the side. Mom doesn¡¯t treat me as her daughter, and you don¡¯t treat me as your sister!¡± Everyone was furious when they saw the wounds on Nianyang. ¡°Oh my, the Gu couple is really something. They¡¯re trying to torture their daughter to death. It hurts just looking at them!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. She usually pretends to be harmonious, but who knew that her heart had gone astray? The poor second daughter of the Gu Family was tortured until she couldn¡¯t even stand straight!¡± ¡°It seems like the oldest daughter is not a good person either. She usually pretends to be sensible and dearly calls her Yangyang in front of everyone. I thought she was a good sister. I didn¡¯t expect her to ignore her sister who was beaten half to death. She¡¯s so vicious!¡± Hearing everyone¡¯s words, Gu Yuandao and Gu Youlan were so embarrassed that they could not raise their heads. Oh no. The good reputation and image that they had meticulously protected were completely destroyed! Wang Ying blushed when her lie was exposed. She shouted at the top of her lungs, ¡°That¡¯s right, I did hit her. That¡¯s because she was insensible and angered me! And this wretched girl hit me first this afternoon! Why? As her mother, I¡¯m feeding her. Don¡¯t I have the right to educate her?¡± Chapter 8 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Gu Youlan had an idea and said reproachfully, ¡°Yangyang, you¡¯re usually strange and unsociable. It¡¯s fine if you¡¯re often insensible at home, but how can you hit Mom? Look at how much Mom¡¯s face has turned pale. No wonder Mom was so angry today. You¡¯ve disappointed me!¡± Gu Youlan had a resentful expression on her face. It was as if all of this was because Nianyang was insensible. The Gu couple was just educating their disobedient daughter. Gu Yuandao and Wang Ying heaved a sigh of relief. Their eldest daughter was still the sensible one. She knew how to smooth things over and make their faces not look so ugly. Nianyang had already prepared a backup plan. ¡°I didn¡¯t hit Mom. Mom slapped her own face. Mom fell to the ground on her own and deliberately slandered me for hitting her. She just wanted to use the situation to get the neighbors to suppress me so that I can¡¯t study!¡± Wang Ying was dumbfounded. How did this b*tch know her plan? Damn it, she clearly didn¡¯t say anything. And this wretched girl actually dared to accuse her? Wang Ying was furious. ¡°Bullsh*t. When did I say that? You were the one who slapped me and pushed me to the ground to beat me up. You¡¯re an unfilial daughter!¡± When the neighbors saw that the mother and daughter were arguing, they immediately did not know what side to take. Nianyang glanced at the hesitant crowd. ¡°Mom, you¡¯re maligning me. I¡¯ve been beaten by you since I was young. How would I dare to hit you? Besides, you¡¯re so strong. How can I push you to the ground? If you don¡¯t believe me, let Uncle Li Er check if you¡¯re injured?¡± Li Er was a barefoot doctor in this town. Usually, when someone in town had a cold and fever and couldn¡¯t bear to spend money to go to the clinic to treat it, they would look for him for a prescription. Wang Ying was still in pain. When she heard this, she couldn¡¯t wait to say, ¡°Okay, okay, okay. Get someone to call Doctor Li to take a look for me immediately¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to look. I¡¯ve already heard¡­¡± The bald Li Er passed by the door with a pot full of wine. When he heard someone call him, he immediately came in. ¡°Uncle Li Er, can you help my mother take a look at her injuries?¡± Gu Youlan said obediently, vividly portraying a filial daughter who cared about her mother, making everyone¡¯s impression of her warm. Li Er nodded and went forward to check on Wang Ying. On the one hand, Wang Ying was touched by her elder daughter¡¯s thoughtfulness towards her. On the other hand, she scolded Nianyang fiercely, ¡°You brat, watch how I deal with you when the truth is proven!¡± Seeing how confident Wang Ying was, Gu Yuandao and Gu Youlan were certain that what Wang Ying said was true. The father and daughter were instantly relieved. Their reputation was about to be preserved. They were just waiting to see what would happen to Nianyang if she was criticized by thousands of people. Unexpectedly, the next second, Li Er said, ¡°Aunt Gu, there¡¯s nothing wrong with your body. On the contrary, you¡¯re very healthy. You¡¯re fine!¡± As soon as he said that, Gu Yuandao, Gu Youlan, and Wang Ying¡¯s expressions froze. ¡°Bullsh*t!¡± Wang Ying said angrily, ¡°Do you know how to treat illnesses? My body clearly hurts a lot. How can I be fine?¡± ¡°Look at how energetic you look. How do you look like you¡¯re injured? I advise you to eat less oil and meat and let your youngest daughter heal her body!¡± Li Er snorted coldly and turned to leave. How dare she question his medical skills? He decided not to treat the Gu family in the future! Nianyang narrowed her eyes and looked at Wang Ying¡¯s furious expression. She was extremely happy. She was the heir of a Chinese medicine family. She was the one who used acupuncture to prick Wang Ying and cause her pain. Ordinary Chinese medicine doctors without any cultivation could not tell at all, let alone a dabbler like Li Er. Wang Ying was definitely going to suffer! Now, the neighbors had completely changed sides. They looked at Wang Ying with disdain. ¡°So she was pretending. She¡¯s too heartless. In order to make her second daughter drop out of school, she actually slapped herself in the face and even slandered her daughter?!¡± ¡°Wang Ying is too inhumane. Is Nianyang her biological daughter? Her scheme almost made us misunderstand that Nianyang is unfilial. She¡¯s obviously trying to destroy this girl!¡± ¡°The second daughter of the Gu Family is too unlucky to have such a biased mother. Her biological father doesn¡¯t even care, let alone her biological sister!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t slander her! I¡¯m telling the truth! Are you blind?! Can¡¯t you see that I¡¯m in so much pain that I can¡¯t even straighten my back? Why do you still believe that b*tch¡¯s words?!¡± Seeing that everyone did not believe her, Wang Ying¡¯s eyes turned red with anger. She roared angrily, and her hatred for Nianyang deepened. She didn¡¯t know why Li Er didn¡¯t find out that it was this wretched girl who made her hurt all over. She felt that it must be because of this unlucky jinx! Looking at Wang Ying dying on the spot, Nianyang wanted to laugh out loud. The Host had been slandered by Wang Ying many times in her previous life. At that time, no matter how the Host explained it, no one would believe her! Then she would let Wang Ying personally experience the feeling of being despised and scolded by everyone. She would not be able to defend herself and would be isolated and helpless! Chapter 9 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The more the neighbors spoke, the more agitated they became. Wang Ying lost her mind. ¡°Gu Nianyang, you little b*stard! So what if I¡¯m abusing you? You still have the cheek to say that I¡¯m biased towards your sister. Why don¡¯t you take a piss and look at yourself? Your sister is prettier than you and her results are a hundred times better than yours. She will get into a good university in the future and bring glory to the Gu family. Who do you think you are? You¡¯re as stupid as a pig. You have never passed a single exam. How dare you continue to study? If I had known that you were so useless, I would have drowned you in a bucket of urine when you were born! Back then, when I gave birth to you, I almost lost my life because of the difficult labor. If only you had a son, but you just had to be a little girl. You made me spend a lot of money during my confinement period. I even sold the land at home. I gave birth to you for nothing. I might as well give birth to a dog!¡± Gu Yuandao saw that Wang Ying had exposed her true nature and made the neighbors hate their family even more. He roared angrily, ¡°Enough, b*tch, shut up. Do you still think it¡¯s not good enough?¡± ¡°You, Old Gu, you actually shouted at me. Was it easy to make all the contributions I did for this family¡­¡± Wang Ying glared at Gu Yuandao aggrievedly and ran away angrily. Gu Yuandao said awkwardly to everyone, ¡°I¡¯m sorry to have embarrassed everyone.¡± Everyone waved their hands. ¡°Uncle Gu, you have to be careful in the future. You can¡¯t let your second daughter suffer!¡± At his age, he still had to listen to their scolding. Gu Yuandao¡¯s face instantly flushed red. In order to salvage his image, he could only say humbly, ¡°Yes, yes, yes, of course. My wife is confused. I¡¯ll teach her a lesson in the future. I¡¯ll definitely treat my two daughters equally in the future!¡± ¡°Uncles and aunties, thank you for speaking up for me. However, my father is usually busy and doesn¡¯t know that my mother is abusing me.¡± Nianyang was not saying that to clear Gu Yuandao¡¯s name. Instead, she still had to live with the Gu family for a while. She could not completely offend Gu Yuandao. Gu Yuandao was already prepared to be criticized by others in the future. He did not expect his youngest daughter to help him explain. He felt less resentful towards his youngest daughter. ¡°But Dad, you said that you¡¯ll treat me and Sis equally in the future. Do you mean that I can eat my fill like Sis in the future? I don¡¯t have to wear clothes that Sis doesn¡¯t want and I can wear new clothes?¡± It was only then that the neighbors noticed that Nianyang was either wearing a school uniform that had been washed until it turned white all year round or the clothes that Gu Youlan had worn. On the other hand, Gu Youlan wore new clothes every few days. Moreover, the two sisters were standing together. Gu Youlan was wearing a beautiful and fashionable checkered dress. Her skin was fair and her figure was round. Her lips were red and her teeth were white, but Nianyang¡¯s face was sallow and thin like a hemp pole. She was so pitiful that one could not bear to look at her. Gu Youlan noticed that the neighbors were looking at her as if they were defending Nianyang. Her delicate face froze for a moment. She wondered when she had actually been disliked by everyone because of Nianyang. She felt extremely uncomfortable, but she said kindly, ¡°Yangyang, if you like it, you can wear the new dress in my wardrobe if you want!¡± Nianyang looked excited. ¡°Really, Sis? Then can I eat meat in the future? Can I use the face cream and beautiful headband Mom bought for you?¡± ¡°Look at what you¡¯re saying. You¡¯re my biological sister. Of course you can use it. It was my fault in the past for not taking care of you. I¡¯ll definitely treat you well in the future!¡± Gu Youlan said gently. In fact, her heart was bleeding. She was such a selfish person. How could she bear to give her things to her sister, who had always been a slave? Gu Yuandao also said, ¡°Yangyang, Dad is in charge. In the future, you will have a share of what your sister has!¡± ¡°Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Sis.¡± Nianyang was as excited as a child who had received candy. The neighbors¡¯ hearts ached when they saw her. This silly girl. Logically speaking, this was what she deserved, but she was actually so happy! Looking at Nianyang¡¯s smiling face, Gu Youlan secretly hated her. How did things turn out like this? Shouldn¡¯t Gu Nianyang successfully drop out of school to serve their family and then her family would use all their money to send her to university? How did it become that they had to share everything at home in the future? How could a stupid pig like Gu Nianyang deserve the same treatment as her? Chapter 10 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios When they reached home, Gu Yuandao¡¯s expression was very bad. He went to the courtyard to harvest ragweed without saying a word. After winning the battle, Nianyang happily took the teapot on the table and poured herself a cup of water to drink. Gu Youlan stared at Nianyang and said, ¡°Yangyang, what¡¯s wrong with you today? Did you hear Jiang Tian say something to you again?¡± She did not believe that her useless sister would actually fight back overnight. Someone must have sowed discord! And who else could this person be other than Uncle and Aunt¡¯s daughter, Jiang Tian? Gu Nianyang was the one that that family doted on the most, especially Jiang Tian. She had instigated Gu Nianyang to resist her many times. Previously, she had finally brainwashed Gu Nianyang to cut ties with Jiang Tian. Could Gu Nianyang have been convinced by her again? ¡°Sister, what do you mean? Why don¡¯t I understand?¡± Nianyang raised her head and swallowed a few mouthfuls of water. Feeling that her throat was comfortable, she pretended to be stupid and asked. In order to take revenge in the future and return all the torture that the original owner had suffered, she would not fall out with Gu Youlan now. That would be less fun. Gu Youlan complained, ¡°Yangyang, we¡¯re biological sisters. If you have anything, you can tell me. How can you listen to outsiders and deal with your own family? Look at how ugly you made it today. How are our parents going to face other people in the future?!¡± Nianyang said with a faint smile, ¡°Sister, you know that we¡¯re biological sisters too? Then, when Mom specially went to town yesterday to buy a lock to lock me in the room, why didn¡¯t you help me? Do you want me to drop out so badly?¡± Gu Youlan¡¯s expression changed slightly. Then, she said aggrievedly, ¡°I didn¡¯t know Mom would do that either. Who asked you to be so useless and fail every exam? Mom probably thinks that you won¡¯t be able to get selected even if you take the exam, so she doesn¡¯t want you to waste your time.¡± Yes, it was a very good and powerful reason. This white lotus was quite eloquent. No wonder the original owner had been tricked by her in her previous life. Nianyang hid the coldness in her eyes and smiled. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll believe you for the time being. But Sister, didn¡¯t you say that you wanted to give me half of your new clothes, headbands, and face cream? Give it to me now!¡± Gu Youlan¡¯s expression froze. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Sis? Weren¡¯t you very straightforward in front of everyone just now? Are you regretting it now?¡± Nianyang played with her fingers. She liked the feeling of exploiting a white lotus. ¡°Of course, of course not. I¡¯ll get it for you now.¡± Gu Youlan tried her best to force a smile on Nianyang face. Reluctantly, she gave Nianyang half of the face cream in her room. Then, she leaned on the table and cried softly, as if she had been bullied. If it were the original owner of this body, she would definitely go up and coax Gu Youlan when she saw her crying. She would return everything in her hand, but now¡­ Nianyang did not even look at Gu Youlan. She carried the things in her hand and returned to her room. Gu Youlan cried for a while, but Nianyang did not comfort her. When she looked up and realized that she had left, she gritted her teeth in anger. Gu Nianyang, just you wait! ¡ï As soon as Nianyang entered the house, she threw Gu Youlan¡¯s things to the ground. In her previous life, she was used to seeing good things. How could she like Gu Youlan¡¯s trash? Only that white lotus treated it as a treasure. The reason why she wanted these was to cause trouble for Gu Youlan. As soon as Nianyang transmigrated today, she had been abusing scum on behalf of the Host. Now that her nerves were relaxed, the fatigue from the high fever overwhelmed her. She quickly went to the bed to rest. However, the environment in this house was too poor. The bedboard under her gave Nianyang bruises. Fortunately, Nianyang had gone on countless border missions in her previous life. She had slept on a tree and a stone path. This was still bearable. Besides, this family was too poor. In her previous life, Nianyang was used to eating and wearing good things. Now that she had returned to such a sorry state, she could not calm down. But this was good too. Just treat it as a change of lifestyle. In her previous life, in order to survive, she pioneered a company and became the richest person in the country. She worked hard every day. After being reborn, Nianyang did not want to live such a tiring life anymore. She only wanted to study Chinese medicine and bring the legacy of her ancestors to greater heights. With that in mind, Nianyang fell asleep in a daze. Suddenly, she felt a fierce heat in her heart. When she opened her eyes, she was brought into a vortex by a white light. Chapter 11 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After an unknown period of time, the dense white light in front of her dissipated. When she woke up, she realized that she was in an endless world. Below her feet was a green lawn. In the distance, there was a large fruit forest and a clear hot spring. Nearby, there were a few rows of unexplored fields and a round well that was emitting fog. Not far behind the circular well, there was a pyramid shining with white light. Looking at the magical scene in front of her, Nianyang was pleasantly surprised. Oh my god, could this be the legendary magical space? It was already heaven-defying for her to have a chance to be reborn. The heavens actually gave her such a powerful cheat. She was really lucky. Nianyang ran excitedly to the fruit forest and looked at the various crystal clear and fragrant fruits on the tree. Her stomach rumbled. Since she could appear in this space, everything in this space should be real, right? She also had the right to use it, right? Nianyang reached out her hand tentatively and successfully plucked a peach from a peach tree. This space was like spring all year round. The peach was moist and there were a few drops of dew on it. Nianyang had not eaten at night and was so hungry that she took a bite. The plump flesh bloomed between her teeth. The juice was clear and sweet, and the texture was fragrant and crisp. It was really delicious. It was definitely the best peach that Nianyang had ever eaten! After eating three big and round peaches in one go, Nianyang turned around and scooped two handfuls of water from the well. Even the peaches in this space were delicious. She believed that the spring water in the well was definitely not ordinary. As soon as she drank it, sure enough, even the spring water had the sweetness of wheat. After eating and drinking her fill, Nianyang burped. She felt that all the fatigue in her body had been swept away, and she was instantly a hundred times more energetic. She did not expect the spring water to have the effect of strengthening one¡¯s body. Nianyang instantly felt that she had struck it rich. With this spring water, she could use it as a medicinal catalyst in the future to improve medicinal effects. Moreover, she would not have to worry about losing her energy even if she stayed up all night. Suppressing the urge to bark like a groundhog, Nianyang walked to the bottom of the pyramid and saw that the words ¡°Family of Traditional Chinese Medicine¡± were written on it. The door was ajar. When Nianyang pushed open the door, an extremely strong medicinal fragrance wafted over. When Nianyang walked in, she was so shocked that she could not close her mouth. This was because it was actually the same as the medical research lab in the 21st century. There were huge shelves on both sides. There were different compartments on the shelves, and there were many medical tools in the compartments. And in the middle of the room, there was a round white table. On the table was an ancient black furnace. The furnace was in the shape of a dragon¡¯s head and there was a fire under it. Nianyang looked at it carefully and realized that this furnace was 500 years old. This was the medicinal furnace used by ancient Chinese medicine masters to make medicine. It was a famous product of alchemy! She did not expect there to be such a big treasure in this pyramid. Nianyang was so excited that she wanted to touch the medicinal furnace, but she was blocked by an invisible barrier. ¡°Strange, why can¡¯t I touch it?¡± Nianyang tried a few more times, but it was the same. She tried to touch the other things around her and realized that nothing in the room could be moved. Even the path to the second floor was blocked by a barrier. Nianyang was a little disappointed. Her heart itched when she saw that she could not use the treasure in front of her. [Master, you¡¯re finally here.] Accompanied by a coquettish voice, a fluffy white ball suddenly floated in the air. ¡°Who are you? Why are you calling me Master?¡± Nianyang asked curiously. She had accepted the fact that she was reborn and this space, so she did not find it strange that the white ball could speak. [Hello, Master. I¡¯m the guardian elf of the medical space. You¡¯re the inheritor of the space, so you¡¯re naturally my master.] The round ball rubbed against Nianyang¡¯s cheek as if it was acting coquettishly. ¡°Medical space? What¡¯s going on?¡± Nianyang was confused. Chapter 12 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The white ball¡¯s cute voice said seriously, [It¡¯s like this, Master. This medical space was established by the ancestors of a traditional Chinese medicine family. It has more than 2,000 years of history.] The pyramid had a total of three levels. The first level was a laboratory used to store medicine, and the second and third levels were filled with rare medicinal seeds and rare treasures that the ancestors and successive inheritors had searched for everywhere. You are the 108th inheritor chosen by the ancestor. Those who obtain this space need to focus on Chinese medicine and bring Chinese medicine to greater heights. Don¡¯t let the ancestor¡¯s thousand years of hard work decline.] Wow! It sounded so great and holy! Nianyang swallowed her saliva. ¡°So you¡¯re saying that this medical space is mine now? Then why can¡¯t I touch anything in this tower?¡± The white ball [This is the rule set by the ancestor to prevent the inheritor from relying too much on this space and forgetting the ancestor¡¯s instructions. Therefore, you have to use health points to exchange for resources here. Master, if you want to use everything in the first floor, you need to exchange 10 health points for it.] Health points? What was that? Nianyang asked, ¡°Then what should I do to obtain health points?¡± The white ball said softly, [You can obtain varying amounts of health points from saving the dead, helping the injured, planting medicinal herbs, and developing medicine. However, Master, I have some medicinal seeds here that I can give you to plant.] As soon as the white ball finished speaking, a few black medicinal seeds suddenly appeared in Nianyang¡¯s hand. She lowered her head and smelled them. They were ginkgos, used in treating coughs. Nianyang held the seed and asked happily, ¡°Thank you. Um, what¡¯s your name?¡± [Master, I don¡¯t have a name.] Nianyang thought for a while. ¡°It¡¯s so inconvenient to communicate without a name. Look at how round you are. You¡¯re fair and fat. Why don¡¯t we call you dough?¡± [Okay, I¡¯ll listen to Master] Dough spun happily in midair. Nianyang could not help but rub Dough. Suddenly, she thought of something. ¡°By the way, Dough, I rode in Brother Li¡¯s car this afternoon. I think I heard your voice at that time. Was that you talking to me?¡± Dough flashed. [No, no. I only just spoke to you now, Master.] So she was hallucinating? Shaking her head, Nianyang did not think too much about it. She quickly took the medicinal plant and planted it in the medicinal field. Looking at the neatly arranged farming tools beside the medicinal field, Nianyang could not help but sigh that this space really had everything. Fortunately, the original owner had farmed before. Nianyang, who carried the original owner¡¯s memories, could easily get used to it. As she weeded, Nianyang asked, ¡°By the way, Dough, is the time in this space the same as outside?¡± Dough thoughtfully wiped Nianyang¡¯s sweat. [Of course not. The flow of time in the space is very fast. An hour outside is equivalent to three hours in the space.] Nianyang¡¯s eyes lit up. If that was the case, wouldn¡¯t the herbs she planted grow out soon? [Master, I still have to tell you something. The herbs you planted in the medicinal field are inexhaustible.] ¡°Really? In other words, the herbs I planted can be used infinitely?¡± Nianyang¡¯s face lit up with excitement. Medicines were scarce and precious in this era. With this skill, even if she did not do business, she would not have to worry about food and clothes just by selling herbs! Dough shook its head and said, [Master, you can¡¯t have this thought. The ancestor has a rule that the herbs in the space can¡¯t be sold.] ¡°Alright.¡± Nianyang smiled awkwardly. It seemed like she had to think of another way to earn money! ¡ï Nianyang worked the entire night and finally cleared the medicinal field. She then took the farming tools and made holes in the field. She sprinkled the ginkgo seeds in and diverted the spiritual spring water to water them. It was done. Dough said happily, [Congratulations, Master, for successfully planting the herbs and obtaining 1 HP. Master can check your HP data at any time in the future.] Nianyang was discouraged. She had worked hard the entire night to obtain one health point. Wasn¡¯t this too difficult? However, the next second, she felt that she could not have such thoughts. It was already a rare opportunity for her to become the spatial inheritor. How could she be greedy? At the very least, she had obtained one health point now. The beginning was very successful. She was still nine points away from using the laboratory to start making medicine. At that time, she would have a chance to obtain more health points! One day, she would get all the medicinal seeds and treasures in the pyramid! Chapter 13 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Nianyang smelled a stench of sweat. It came from her body. That was true. After plowing the medicinal field for the entire night, her body was covered in sweat. How could it not stink? Nianyang wrinkled her nose in disdain. When she thought of the hot spring, she quickly ran over and tested it with her hand. The hot spring water was hot and could be used for a bath. Dough yawned and popped out. [Master, the hot spring pool is flowing. The water will automatically change after you¡¯ve soaked in it. You can use it for a long time.] ¡°So high-tech?¡± Then wouldn¡¯t it be equivalent to having a natural bathtub that could be used at any time? Nianyang was overjoyed. She quickly took off her clothes and crawled into the pool. As she soaked in the hot spring, Nianyang felt the soreness in her body disappear. She instantly felt refreshed and did not feel tired at all after a night of work. It seemed that the hot spring water also had the effect of removing fatigue! After soaking for a while, Nianyang was pleasantly surprised to find that her originally rough skin had become much smoother. Through the lens-like water, Nianyang also noticed that her originally sallow face had become fairer and redder. Beauty lies in the bones, not skin. The original owner had a good bone structure. She had a palm-sized face, a full forehead, big eyes, a pretty nose, lips like rose petals, and perfect facial features. It was just that chronic malnutrition had caused her face to be sallow and thin, affecting her overall beauty. However, it was not difficult to tell that after her skin was full, she would definitely be a beauty. In the beginning, Nianyang had planned to slowly recover the missing nutrients of the Host in the future. She did not expect that there would be such a change after soaking in the hot spring. Could it be that the hot spring water also had the effect of beautifying one¡¯s appearance? [Yes, Master. Not only is it hot spring water, but there¡¯s also spiritual spring water. Drinking it every day can not only strengthen your body, but also make you more and more beautiful.] ¡°Okay, okay. I understand.¡± Nianyang was overjoyed. This space was too precious. It seemed like she was getting closer and closer to becoming a fair, rich, and beautiful woman! ¡ï After taking a comfortable hot spring bath, Nianyang felt that she should leave, but knowing how to leave was a problem. Dough said considerately, ¡°Master, this space is controlled by your thoughts. If you want to go out or come in, you only need to chant it silently. If you have something to ask me, just think about it in your mind and we can contact each other.¡± Nianyang nodded and suddenly thought of a key question. ¡°By the way, Dough, I realized that you know everything I¡¯m thinking about? Can this function be blocked?¡± Nianyang did not like the feeling of being seen through, even if the other party was just a sprite guarding the space. Dough said obediently, ¡°Of course. Dough can block the telepathy with Master. In the future, Master can just tell me if you need anything.¡± ¡ï As soon as she left the space, she realized that it was already morning. She opened the door and walked out. In the living room, Wang Ying was fiddling with today¡¯s breakfast. The Gu family¡¯s conditions were not good, and the breakfast was very rough. It was just a pot of brown rice porridge with scallion pancakes. ¡°Lanlan, this is the egg that our chicken just laid today. You¡¯re in your third year of high school next semester. It takes a lot of brainpower to get into university. You have to eat more free-range eggs to replenish your nutrition!¡± Wang Ying said to Gu Youlan with a doting expression as she held the freshly cooked egg. From the corner of her eye, she saw Nianyang coming out without even blinking. She pretended that this person did not exist. ¡°I understand. Thank you, Mom!¡± Gu Youlan smiled sweetly as she took the egg and started to peel it. She liked the feeling of the entire family doting on her. As for her sister, Gu Nianyang, she was only fit to carry her shoes! Nianyang glanced at the dining table that did not have her own bowl and chopsticks. She narrowed her eyes and asked, ¡°Mom, where¡¯s my breakfast?¡± Gu Youlan looked up at Nianyang and was stunned. Was it an illusion? Why did she feel that her useless sister had become much prettier overnight?! Wang Ying was obviously not as meticulous as Gu Youlan to notice the change in Nianyang. She shouted bluntly, ¡°Wretched girl, you caused our family to be criticized by our neighbors yesterday. You woke up so late today and didn¡¯t even get to cook pig feed. You still want to eat breakfast? You don¡¯t have any food today. Hurry up and go to the courtyard to feed the pigs!¡± Gu Youlan smiled smugly. Did that idiot Gu Nianyang really think that she could be on equal footing with me just because she made a fuss in front of everyone yesterday? Dream on! Chapter 14 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Nianyang¡¯s dark eyes flickered. She glanced at Gu Yuandao, who was engrossed in his porridge and had no intention of speaking up for Nianyang. It seemed that the Host¡¯s father was even more indifferent to the Host than she had imagined. She had thought that after the beating yesterday, no matter how much he ignored his youngest daughter, he still had to put on a show. Who knew that he would still not change? Seeing that Nianyang lowered her head and did not speak like before, Wang Ying was certain that Nianyang was still the soft bun that she could torture. She said even more arrogantly, ¡°You brat, don¡¯t think that you can continue to study in Year Three next semester just because you complained in front of everyone yesterday. Don¡¯t even think about it with your stupid brain. We won¡¯t spend a single cent on you. Go and withdraw from school on another day. As for the things you asked for from your sister yesterday, I¡¯ll return them to her later. You¡¯re just a vulgar wild girl. You¡¯re not worthy of using the same things as your sister¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, the dining table in front of her was kicked to the ground by Nianyang. Gu Youlan screamed in fear and the half-peeled egg in her hand fell to the ground and smashed into pieces. Nianyang clapped her hands. ¡°Since you didn¡¯t prepare breakfast for me, then let¡¯s all not eat!¡± Looking at the mess on the ground, Gu Yuandao, Gu Youlan, and Wang Ying stared at Nianyang in shock. Was she possessed? Their second daughter, who had always been weak and useless and had been controlled by them, suddenly became such a shrew? If not for the familiar face in front of them, they would really think that the girl in front of them was a different person! ¡°Little b*stard, you¡¯re going against the heavens, aren¡¯t you? I¡¯ll beat you to death today!¡± When she came back to her senses, Wang Ying¡¯s eyes turned red. She grabbed the broom and pounced over, wanting to hit Nianyang. The ground was covered in food that was worth a few yuan. It was ruined by the jinx just like that. Her heart ached! Nianyang smiled and stood rooted to the ground. ¡°Okay, Mom, if you want to hit me, hit me. As long as you dare to touch a single strand of my hair, I¡¯ll immediately go out and tell the neighbors that not only are you not giving me food, but you¡¯re also hitting me¡ª¡± With that, Nianyang blinked her big innocent eyes and looked at Gu Yuandao. ¡°Dad, if the neighbors know that you let my mother bully me like this, do you think you can continue working in the factory?!¡± Gu Yuandao¡¯s face turned pale when he heard this. He required the mayor¡¯s help to get his job at the factory, and the mayor was in charge of managing the order of disputes in the countryside. The most taboo thing was family discord. If the mayor found out that their family did not give their youngest daughter food and even hit her, he would definitely not be able to keep his job! ¡°Enough, b*tch, stop!¡± Seeing that the broom was about to land on Nianyang, Gu Yuandao quickly reached out and snatched it from Wang Ying¡¯s hand. Wang Ying looked like she wanted to eat someone up. ¡°Old Gu, didn¡¯t you see that this wild girl spilled our food? You risked your life to earn it. This wretched girl didn¡¯t give us a single cent and still dares to waste food. Why aren¡¯t you helping me teach her a lesson? Why are you stopping me?¡± Nianyang provoked, ¡°Dad, why does Mom keep calling me a wild girl? Doesn¡¯t a wild girl mean a child without a father? Isn¡¯t Mom cursing you?¡± Gu Yuandao¡¯s face darkened instantly. Wang Ying was so angry that she was about to go crazy. She raised her hand at Nianyang. ¡°Wretched girl, what nonsense are you talking about? How dare you sow discord? I¡¯ll kill you¡­¡± Gu Yuandao glared at her and growled, ¡°From now on, if you dare to touch a single strand of Yangyang¡¯s hair, I¡¯ll divorce you!¡± Wang Ying¡¯s face instantly turned pale with fear. In this day and age, divorced women would drown in spittle. Old Gu actually wanted to divorce her to protect the jinx? Gu Youlan bit her lip and thought, ¡®Gu Nianyang has really changed. She actually dared to sow discord between my parents. Will I still be able to get any benefits from Gu Nianyang in the future?¡¯ Seeing that Wang Ying had settled down, Gu Yuandao turned to Nianyang and said, ¡°Yangyang, Dad has already helped you teach your mother a lesson. From now on, you¡¯ll have food every morning. Don¡¯t tell anyone about what happened just now. Be good.¡± Nianyang agreed obediently, but she was thinking about a problem. This Wang Ying hated the Host because she had suffered a lot when the Host was born and because she lost her family¡¯s land. But why did Gu Yuandao ignore the Host so much? Even if the Host was not as smart as Gu Youlan, she was still his flesh and blood. There was no reason for him to be so heartless as to let his eldest daughter eat and drink well and let his youngest daughter be worse than pigs and dogs. Could it be that the original owner of the body was not a child of the Gu family? The reason why Nianyang thought that way was because she could tell that Wang Ying was a little aggressive. She was indeed a feudal woman. She would not have cheated on Gu Yuandao, let alone raise someone else¡¯s child. Therefore, the only explanation was that Nianyang might have been adopted by Gu Yuandao behind Wang Ying¡¯s back. After all, when Wang Ying gave birth to the original owner, it was difficult for her to give birth. At that time, it was very easy for the child to die. Perhaps Wang Ying¡¯s original child was already gone. The prideful Gu Yuandao brought back someone else¡¯s child to avoid being criticized. However, these were just guesses. If she wanted to know the truth, she could only do a paternity test by refining medicine when she earned ten health points and could use the laboratory. ¡°Someone, come quickly. Widow Jin¡¯s son has been bitten by a poisonous snake!¡± A panicked scream suddenly sounded outside the door. Then, the neighbors rushed out. Chapter 15 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Nianyang¡¯s eyebrows twitched when she heard the commotion. Her current memories had completely fused with the original owner¡¯s. Soon, she found something about Widow Jin from the original owner¡¯s memories. Widow Jin¡¯s lover was a hunter. Two years ago, he accidentally fell down the cliff and died, leaving behind a five-year-old son, Doudou. In her previous life, Doudou had also been accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake. Because the treatment was too slow, he had become a vegetable. Since she was here now, not to mention that her duty as a doctor was to save the dying and heal the injured, she would not stand by and do nothing for the sake of the precious health points. Moreover, Widow Jin was famous for being a gossipy woman. If anyone made a move, she would immediately spread it to the neighboring town. In her previous life, Doudou had also been accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake. Because the treatment was too slow, he had become a vegetable. Since she was here now, not to mention that her duty as a doctor was to save the dying and heal the injured, she would not stand by and do nothing for the sake of precious health points. Widow Jin was a selfish person. What she cared about the most was her only son. If Nianyang helped her save Doudou, Widow Jin would definitely not gossip about Nianyang in the future because of her favor. Instead, she would publicize Nianyang¡¯s good deeds. In the future, she might even help Nianyang frame Gu Youlan. In this era, reputation was more precious than gold. With a good reputation, Nianyang would be able to quickly gain a foothold in town. In the future, she would be able to do things twice as quickly. This was called strategy! After making up her mind, Nianyang immediately ran to the kitchen to find a knife. Then, she walked over from the back door. The courtyard was in a mess. As soon as Nianyang went out, she saw Doudou lying on the ground twitching. His usually fair face was flushed purple, and his lips were terrifyingly dark. It looked like the poison had already invaded his bloodline! The neighbors were frightened to death and did not dare to get too close. They discussed animatedly. ¡°Oh my god, what poisonous snake bit Doudou? He¡¯s seriously poisoned!¡± ¡°This child is too naughty. Why did he go to the back mountain? There are a lot of poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts there. He¡¯ll fall for it if he¡¯s not careful. How unlucky!¡± ¡°When someone¡¯s about to die, stop making sarcastic remarks. Hurry up and call a doctor to take a look!¡± Widow Jin knelt beside Doudou and didn¡¯t dare to touch him. She cried her heart out. ¡°My son, help. Someone help me call a doctor!¡± ¡°Widow Jin, don¡¯t be anxious. My wife has already helped you call Li Er!¡± Uncle Wang, who was the first to discover that Doudou was poisoned and helped carry him back, said. As soon as she finished speaking, Uncle Wang¡¯s wife ran over noisily. ¡°This is bad. Li Er drank too much yesterday and is sleeping like a dead pig. I can¡¯t even wake him up by kicking him!¡± Widow Jin felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She knelt down in front of everyone with a plop. ¡°Please save my son. He¡¯s my life. I¡¯ll be your slave!¡± ¡°Widow Jin, don¡¯t be like this. We¡¯re not doctors. We can¡¯t help!¡± Everyone said in a difficult manner. They really wanted to but were helpless. Widow Jin¡¯s heart ached as she watched her son convulse and become weaker. Tears streamed down her face. Aunt Gao suggested, ¡°Why don¡¯t we help you send Doudou to the clinic?¡± ¡°But the clinic is half an hour away. Can my son be saved?¡± Widow Jin had a primary school diploma and knew that the poison was transmitted very quickly. She had a cousin who had been bitten by a poisonous snake and died because the treatment was too slow. ¡°Well¡­¡± Everyone looked at each other. Although they didn¡¯t understand, seeing that Doudou¡¯s condition was so bad, he definitely wouldn¡¯t last more than half an hour. Widow Jin looked desperate. Uncle Wang couldn¡¯t bear it and said, ¡°Widow Jin, I¡¯ve heard people talk about a remedy before. Why don¡¯t you try using your mouth to help Doudou suck out the poison?¡± Widow Jin¡¯s eyes lit up. Just as she was about to lower her head to suck the snake venom, Nianyang, who had finally squeezed over, stopped her. ¡°Aunt Jin, you can¡¯t. The venom will spread through your saliva. Not only will it not save Doudou, but you will also be poisoned.¡± Widow Jin froze. ¡°Gu, Gu family¡¯s second daughter? How did you know?¡± Nianyang said sternly, ¡°Aunt Jin, ignore how I know. What I want to say is that I know how to remove the snake venom in Doudou. Why don¡¯t you let me try?¡± Chapter 16 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°You know how to neutralize snake venom?¡± Widow Jin looked at Nianyang in disbelief. Everyone had lived in the same courtyard for so many years. Everyone knew that Nianyang was weak and incompetent. She was clumsy in everything she did. How could she know how to treat illnesses? The neighbors reacted the same way as Widow Jin and questioned, ¡°Second Daughter of the Gu Family, are you joking? When did you learn medicine?¡± ¡°Sister-in-law Jin, Doudou is poisoned by Viper Venom. If we don¡¯t treat him in half an hour, the venom will enter his heart and lungs and cause him to go into shock. If we don¡¯t save him now, there¡¯s really no time. Believe me this time!¡± Nianyang stood quietly, her clear eyes flickering as she spoke logically. The surroundings fell silent for a moment. Everyone¡¯s gaze landed on Nianyang. The girl was wearing rough clothes and looked like the timid and silly girl from before, but her eyes were so bright, as if everything was under her control, making everyone unable to help but be convinced. Could it be that she usually hid her skills well? Did she really know medicine? At this moment, Gu Yuandao, Wang Ying, and Gu Youlan followed her to watch the commotion. When they heard Nianyang¡¯s words, their expressions changed. ¡°Wretched girl, it¡¯s someone else¡¯s business. Why are you messing around here? Hurry up and get back to the house!¡± Wang Ying roared with her hands on her hips. Anyway, Nianyang had already exposed her yesterday. There was no need for her to pretend to be a good wife and mother. ¡°Yangyang, stop being willful. We grew up together. Don¡¯t we know if you know medicine or not? If we delay the resuscitation time and cause Doudou to lose his life, our family won¡¯t be able to afford it the compensaiton even if we sell the house!¡± Gu Youlan said loudly. She seemed to be thinking for her sister, but she was actually expressing that Nianyang was as stupid as a pig. She was just fooling around with everyone. When Gu Yuandao heard Gu Youlan¡¯s words, he was instantly extremely nervous. He thought that if Nianyang killed Doudou, wouldn¡¯t their family drown in spittle? Moreover, their family¡¯s money would be lost because of this! Gu Yuandao said with a face full of cold sweat, ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t listen to my youngest daughter¡¯s nonsense. She doesn¡¯t know anything. She¡¯s just spouting nonsense.¡± With that, she even gave Nianyang a look. ¡°Yangyang, it¡¯s a matter of life and death. What does a little girl like you know about treating illnesses? Hurry up and return to the house with Dad!¡± When everyone heard the Gu family¡¯s words, their trust in Nianyang instantly dissipated. Their brains were really squeezed by the door and they almost believed Nianyang¡¯s words. The second daughter of the Gu family was just a girl. What illness could she treat? The neighbors were dissatisfied with Nianyang¡¯s deception and started to criticize her. Gu Youlan felt extremely comfortable when she heard this. Gu Nianyang, oh Gu Nianyang, you¡¯re the one who¡¯s trying to steal the limelight. Why didn¡¯t you look at the timing? You can¡¯t end this now, right? You¡¯ve lost the good impression that everyone had of you yesterday. You fool! Faced with everyone¡¯s criticism, Nianyang¡¯s face was calm. She only said calmly, ¡°Aunt Jin, what I said is true. It¡¯s up to you to believe it or not.¡± When she met Nianyang¡¯s quiet and determined eyes, the anxiety in Aunt Jin¡¯s heart suddenly extinguished. She could not help but want to believe her. After all, everyone was panicking at a time like this. Only Nianyang was so steady. Perhaps she was really confident? It was a last resort! Widow Jin gritted her teeth. ¡°Okay, Second Daughter of the Gu Family, I¡¯ll believe you this time!¡± As soon as these words were spoken, everyone exploded. ¡°Widow Jin, don¡¯t be rash. What illness can Gu Nianyang treat?¡± ¡°Aunt Jin, you¡¯re taking this too lightly. The second daughter of the Gu family is still a child. She hasn¡¯t even passed a single exam. How can she understand medicine?!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. We might as well hurry up and send her to the clinic. Don¡¯t kill Doudou!¡± While everyone was dissuading her, Nianyang had already quickly squatted in front of Doudou. After confirming that Doudou had been bitten by the snake in his abdomen, she quickly took off his clothes. ¡°Aunt Jin, get a basin of soapy water!¡± Nianyang instructed. Widow Jin agreed and quickly fetched a basin. ¡°Nianyang, what¡¯s the point of getting soapy water?¡± ¡°Doudou has been poisoned by the snake venom. Using soapy water to wash the wound and the surrounding skin can prevent the venom from spreading and wash away the venom on the surface of the wound to prevent it from entering the wound again.¡± As Nianyang spoke, she finished washing the wound nimbly. Aunt Jin and everyone else were dumbfounded. Putting aside the fact that Nianyang was telling the truth, her swift actions were definitely extraordinary. With that, Nianyang took a knife and cut a cross-shaped incision into Doudou¡¯s wound with the bite mark as the center. It was deep into the skin. Then, she used her hand to repeatedly squeeze the wound from the center of Doudou¡¯s body, forcing the venom to be expelled from the cross-shaped incision. This scene was too bloody. Widow Jin and everyone else couldn¡¯t help but close their eyes. Nianyang¡¯s squeeze lasted for about ten minutes. After the blood that was squeezed out turned from black to pure red, she finally stopped and heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Aunt Jin, all the snake venom has been squeezed out. Doudou is fine.¡± Chapter 17 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios As soon as Nianyang said that, it was as if a drop of cold water had fallen into a pot of boiling oil. It instantly broke the silence and caused oil to splatter. ¡°No way. The second daughter of the Gu family really got rid of the snake poison in Doudou ?¡± The neighbors looked at each other in disbelief. Widow Jin did not believe it either, but she saw that Doudou¡¯s face seemed to be flushed. She was shocked and happy. ¡°Nianyang, my son is well?¡± Nianyang nodded and said calmly, ¡°There should still be some residual poison in Doudou¡¯s body. Aunt, you can go to the mountain and find some yarrow. You can mash it into a medicinal juice and make him consume it. One dose a day but separate it into 2 portions and take them separately. Doudou will recover in less than five days.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, the unconscious Doudou suddenly opened his eyes and cried at the top of his lungs, ¡°Mom, Mom, it hurts¡­¡± Everyone was shocked and stared at Doudou for a long time without any reaction. ¡°Doudou!¡± Widow Jin was the first to come back to her senses. When she saw that Doudou had woken up and his expression had returned to normal, she hugged him and cried tears of joy. The cries of the mother and son woke everyone¡¯s thoughts. They were all amazed. ¡°This is amazing. Gu Nianyang really knows how to treat illnesses and even saved someone!¡± ¡°It¡¯s too amazing. A few years ago, many people died from snake bites. They couldn¡¯t be saved even when they went to the clinic. The Gu family¡¯s second daughter did a good job!¡± ¡°So we were all wrong. I didn¡¯t expect the second daughter of the Gu family to be not stupid at all. She actually has such profound medical skills!¡± The neighbors whispered to each other and sized up Nianyang in a different light. Nianyang stood rooted to the ground calmly. Her expression was calm, as if she was not the one everyone was praising. Gu Yuandao and Wang Ying, who saw the scene in front of them, could not think anymore. They were so surprised that they could not close their mouths. It was too strange. They had raised their youngest daughter for more than ten years. This girl had always been clumsy no matter what she did. When did she learn medicine? Seeing that everyone was praising Nianyang, Gu Youlan¡¯s face twisted and her eyes shone with a vicious light. She gripped her skirt so tightly that it was about to break. She glared at Nianyang fiercely, so angry that black smoke was about to appear on her forehead. When did her damn useless sister learn how to treat illnesses? She hid it so well that even she, her sister, did not know. They thought that Nianyang would be accused of killing someone because of this and be scolded by everyone. They did not expect that Nianyang would actually cure Doudou. Everyone was impressed. Gu Youlan¡¯s heart ached terribly. Ever since she was young, when she stood with Nianyang, everyone would only see her and ignore Nianyang. When did a good-for-nothing like Nianyang get such an honor? She hated her to the core! Widow Jin stabilized her emotions and was about to kneel down in front of Nianyang with red eyes. ¡°Nianyang, you¡¯re the one who saved Doudou. Thank you. You¡¯re my benefactor!¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing. You¡¯re welcome.¡± Nianyang quickly held Widow Jin¡¯s arm and smiled at her. ¡°Aunt Jin, Doudou has just woken up and is still very weak. Hurry up and carry him back to the house to feed him some porridge. Don¡¯t let Doudou catch a cold outside these few days. Also, don¡¯t forget about the yarrow I mentioned.¡± ¡°Okay! Okay!¡± Widow Jin nodded heavily and quickly carried Doudou back to the house, preparing to look for yarrow. Now that Nianyang had saved Doudou, Widow Jin firmly believed her words. Chapter 18 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Second daughter of the Gu family, where did you learn how to treat illnesses?¡± Uncle Wang, who lived next door, asked curiously. Everyone pricked up their ears. Nianyang had already thought of an excuse. ¡°There are books about Chinese medicine in our school library. I read them when I¡¯m free, so I learned a little.¡± Hearing this, the neighbors thought even more highly of Nianyang. Good lord, she could learn how to treat illnesses just by reading medical books. Her IQ was simply too high. As everyone knew, since ancient times, there had been two types of medicine. Western medicine was science, and Chinese medicine was culture. It was a gathering of more than 2,000 years of pharmaceutical studies and was broad and profound. Western medicine used instruments to diagnose and treat conditions. The medicine was composed of chemicals that injured the liver and kidneys. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasized on looking, listening, asking, and feeling. Medicine was natural and it was called Chinese medicinal herbs. In the eyes of rural people, traditional Chinese medicine could assimilate Western medicine. Western medicine could not assimilate traditional Chinese medicine. Even if there were another 200 years, Western medicine would not be able to catch up. Therefore, Chinese medicine was the hardest to learn. It was impossible to learn without decades of effort. Therefore, very few people in this world learned Chinese medicine. There were even a lot of people who gave up halfway. Most of them chose Western medicine which was easy to learn. At this moment, Nianyang was just a young girl. It was really impressive that she could learn and use Chinese medicine to treat illnesses just by reading a medical book. In comparison, Gu Youlan, who had been conferred the title of a genius young lady, was not worth mentioning. In an emergency like just now, not only did she not help treat her, she even said that her sarcastic remarks had misled everyone. She really thought that Nianyang was messing around. When they thought about how they had misunderstood Nianyang just now, everyone blamed Gu Youlan in their hearts. Mrs. Gao said sarcastically, ¡°First daughter of the Gu family, aren¡¯t your results better than the second daughter of the Gu family? Why didn¡¯t you stand up to help save Doudou just now?¡± Of course, Gu Youlan could tell that these words were mocking her. She felt like vomiting in her heart. She forced a smile and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to get into university in the future. Why would I read medical books that have nothing to do with my studies? Yangyang¡¯s academic results are bad. She must have read too many medical books and forgotten her duty as a student.¡± As expected of a white lotus. She resolved her embarrassment with a single sentence. She even secretly mocked Nianyang for reading too much and not paying attention to her studies. Nianyang sneered in her heart. Aren¡¯t you just showing off your academic results? When the results of the preliminaries are out, let¡¯s see how you can still be smug! ¡ï When they returned to the house, Gu Youlan criticized, ¡°Yangyang, when did you learn how to treat illnesses? Why didn¡¯t you tell Mom and Dad? You made a fool of us just now.¡± Nianyang looked innocent. ¡°Sister, I just tried the treatment method according to the medical book. I didn¡¯t expect it to really work. Besides, the school arranged for an emergency class and gave every student a medical book. Didn¡¯t you understand it?¡± These words were pointing out Gu Youlan¡¯s ignorance. Gu Youlan¡¯s face stiffened. Wang Ying, who was protective of her daughter, immediately jumped out and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t it just reading a lousy medical book? What¡¯s there to be ostentatious about? You can¡¯t live off of it. Your sister will be a university student at home after her results are outstanding. She¡¯s not like you, you wretched girl. You don¡¯t study hard and only do useless things.¡± Wang Ying had never studied and had a low education level. She did not know that the things that could treat illnesses in this world were far more valuable than studying hard. Even university students could not compare. However, Gu Youlan knew very well that it was precisely because she knew the high status of medicine in the current world that she felt extremely humiliated when she heard Wang Ying¡¯s words. ¡°Mom, stop talking.¡± This was the first time Gu Youlan felt embarrassed to have such a mother. She pulled her sleeve in embarrassment and left angrily. ¡°Hey, Lanlan¡­¡± Sensing that her eldest daughter was unhappy, Wang Ying quickly chased after her. Halfway there, she even turned around and glared at Nianyang. ¡ï There was a bang. Two fireworks suddenly bloomed in her mind. Dough¡¯s soft and cute voice sounded. [Congratulations, Master, for successfully saving Little Doudou. You have obtained 5 HP. Currently, the total HP in the database is 6. You¡¯re still 4 HP away from exchanging for the right to use the laboratory.] Nianyang was speechless. This spatial sprite was really amazing. It could actually release special effects fireworks? However, when he thought about how he had only obtained 1 HP after working hard for the entire night last night, He had only used ten minutes to detoxify Doudou¡¯s snake venom just now, but he had actually easily obtained 5 health points. This was too satisfying. It seemed that he had to save the dying and heal the injured more in the future. Chapter 19 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Nianyang was prepared to go to the house of the original owner¡¯s uncle, Jiang Aiguo. Jiang Aiguo was a child raised by Gu Yuandao¡¯s father during the famine. After the original owner¡¯s grandfather died of illness, Gu Yuandao separated from Jiang Aiguo. Gu Yuandao had never liked Jiang Aiguo, his adopted older brother. When they split up, he only gave Jiang Aiguo a few catties of food and sent him away, leaving him to fend for himself. Jiang Aiguo remembered that the original owner¡¯s grandfather had saved his life and was very tolerant of Gu Yuandao. After they split up, he relied on his brute force to go to the mine to work. He earned money and built a wooden house for himself. He got married and started a family. His life was very bitter. However, he treated the Host very well. He probably wanted to repay the Host¡¯s grandfather for his kindness back then. Seeing that the Host was not liked by the Gu family, he would send her good food and drinks every few days. He didn¡¯t even treat his biological daughter, Jiang Tian, half as well as he did towards the host. It could be said that the only warmth in the Host¡¯s life was given by Jiang Aiguo¡¯s family, but the Host was very disappointing. Every time Jiang Aiguo secretly gave her food and money, she would be coaxed to give it all to the Gu family. Later on, under Gu Youlan¡¯s instigation, she took the initiative to ask Jiang Aiguo¡¯s family for things to bring back to the Gu family. The Jiang family was already poor and could not afford to eat. When she thought of the past, Nianyang could not help but sigh. The original owner was really stupid! Since she was here now, she had to protect her only relative on behalf of the Host. When she arrived at the entrance of the Jiang family¡¯s house, Nianyang saw her uncle, Jiang Aiguo, and her aunt, Sun Li, feeding chickens and ducks in the courtyard. The couple had always had a good relationship. ¡°Uncle, Aunt.¡± Nianyang walked in and greeted them obediently. ¡°Yangyang, why are you here?¡± Jiang Aiguo and Sun Li quickly threw down the things in their hands and welcomed her into the house happily. ¡°I came to see you because I missed you guys. These are the eggs I brought you from home.¡± Nianyang smiled and handed Sun Li the ten eggs she had stolen from the Gu family in the basket. In her previous life, the Gu family used the original owner of the body to almost suck the Jiang family dry like a blood-sucking bug. Now, she was just giving a few eggs to the Jiang family. It was not too much, right? ¡°What, eggs for us?¡± Jiang Aiguo and Sun Li were shocked. It had always been Nianyang who brought things from their house to the Gu family. When had Nianyang ever thought of bringing things for them? ¡°That¡¯s right. I saw that Uncle and Aunt have lost weight recently. They have to eat more eggs to nourish themselves!¡± Because of this sentence, Jiang Aiguo and Sun Li felt a lump in their throats and almost cried. They had always treated Nianyang as their own, but Nianyang only cared about the Gu family. This was the first time Nianyang cared about them so much. No matter what the reason was, they felt that this girl was worthy of their love! ¡°Yangyang, it¡¯s fine as long as you have the heart. However, we can¡¯t accept these eggs. You¡¯ve suffered in the Gu family to begin with. If your mother finds out that you gave us the eggs, you¡¯ll be beaten up.¡± Sun Li placed the basket in Nianyang¡¯s hand. Nianyang put her hands behind her back. ¡°It¡¯s fine, Aunt. I¡¯ve thought it through now. I won¡¯t be at the mercy of the Gu family like a puppet anymore. I was insensible before and took a lot of things from your house. I¡¯ll slowly return them to you in the future. Besides, the Gu family can forget about taking anything from you!¡± Jiang Aiguo and Sun Li were stunned. They felt that the Nianyang they had watched grow up seemed to have become a different person. Not only was she not timid and cowardly, but she also spoke eloquently. They had tried to persuade her so many times to be strong and not be controlled by Wang Ying, but she had turned a deaf ear to it. Why did she change so much in just a few days? ¡°Look at what you¡¯re saying. We¡¯re all family. What¡¯s there to return?¡± Sun Li pretended to be dissatisfied when he came back to his senses. In fact, he was very comforted. Nianyang had finally pulled herself together. ¡°Gu Nianyang, why did you come to my house to get something again?¡± Jiang Tian roared angrily when she saw Sun Li holding an egg in her hand and was about to give it to Nianyang. She thought that Nianyang was here to take advantage of her again.
