Ye Qingqing was running happily with a bag of seeds, when suddenly a bolt of lightning struck her face. Amidst the rolling thunder, she smelled the burning scent of her hair...

After passing out and waking up, I sat dumbfounded at the edge of the pit, looking at my utterly destitute home.

"Wow, it's actually a mud brick house?"

Yè Qīngqīng was stunned for several seconds before burying her head back under the covers, feeling like she must be dreaming. She thought if she just slept, maybe when she woke up, everything would be alright.

As a result, Ye Qingqing pulled the blanket over her head, and was instantly overcome with smoke and started to cry.

"Woooo, what's the smell of this blanket? It smells so weird!"

Ye Qingqing wished she could wake up from the dream immediately and roundhouse kick herself.

He used too much force, and the slap made his ears ring.

It was at this moment that some extraneous memories flooded in, flashing through my mind like slides.

"This... this is a transmigration?" After a moment, Ye Qingqing dug at the soil with her fingers and tearfully accepted what was happening before her.

Just, if I'm going to travel through time, why did I have to end up in such a poor place?

And the mistress of this household is also pitiable. Originally, her father was going to marry her off as a concubine to a wealthy man in the county, but she was instead taken by debt collectors who arrived demanding payment.

After the original owner lost her child, her own father still plotted to sell her to a brothel to make money. The original owner couldn't bear the stimulation and finally committed suicide by jumping into a river.

And, to Ye Qingqing's surprise, she inexplicably traveled back to the day before the original owner's misfortune.

This, how can I escape this predicament?

"What a sin! You say you fell asleep yesterday? I don't know if you're lucky or if I'm unlucky."

Ye Qingqing muttered to herself, not sure if she was comforting the original owner or comforting herself, "But since I came a day earlier, I absolutely cannot let this body suffer anymore."

This arrival a day earlier is like receiving a time travel gift package.

Suddenly, a commotion came from outside the hospital.

Ye Qingqing hurriedly went to the window and looked out through the broken paper.

As expected, just like in my memory, the original owner's betrothed—the Gu family father and son—came to discuss the marriage.

Seeing the Gu family father and son being blocked by Ye's parents at the gate, Ye Qingqing felt a pang of anxiety in her heart.

Because, having already made up my mind, I'm going to escape from the Ye family this hellish den with my father and younger brother.

Outside, the sound of arguing broke Ye Qingqing's train of thought.

"Lao Ye, next year Qingqing will be thirteen. According to our village customs, when a girl is twelve years old, it's the responsibility of her uncle's family to take her back and raise her. We should get married when she's fifteen or sixteen. See how you've delayed another year."

For the sake of his two children's marriage, Gu Han Dong hasn't gone to the Ye family this year, but every time he was turned away by Ye Father on some pretext.

After so long, he could see right through the Ye family's intentions. They had always despised the Gu family for their poverty and wanted to call off the engagement.

Besides, there has always been a rumor in the village that Ye's father was going to marry Ye Qingqing off to Wang Yuanwai's family in the county as a concubine. Gu Han冬 heard this and became even more anxious.

"Lao Ye, Qing Qing and my retainer Feng's marriage was arranged by your father when he was alive. You can't break the engagement."

"I'm done for, Gu! What are you going to do to me?"

Ye Fu Chang's thin eyebrows and small eyes didn't look trustworthy. He crossed his arms and stood in the doorway, shouting at Gu Han Dong with a loud voice.

You guys are like a toad wanting to eat a swan, and you're not afraid to admit it. Let me tell you clearly, in the future Qingqing will marry into a wealthy family as a concubine. That life of luxury and ease is way better than living in poverty with your families.

"Since you've brought this up today, Mr. Gu, be sensible and don't bring it up again. From now on, our families shouldn't have any more dealings with each other."

As soon as Ye Fu thought about Ye Qingqing marrying into the county, their entire family could enjoy a life of ease and prosperity, he suddenly felt superior to others. Looking at Gu Han'dong, his eyes became much more contemptuous.

He glanced at the mountain goods in Gu Han's hand, and sarcastically said: "Just these wild rabbits and potatoes and sweet potatoes, you dare to say you came here to propose marriage? You're not ashamed."

Seeing Gu Han's face turn ashen with anger, Gu Chen stepped forward and shouted at Ye's father.

"This game was personally hunted by my father. With heavy snowfall blocking the mountains, your family's harvest has always been poor. Every year, it wasn't for my father's help that you got through the winter. Uncle Ye, please speak with some conscience."

"Oh, you little brat..."

“I, Feng, am forbidden to speak.” Gu Hanshan glanced at Gu Chenfeng before turning back to Ye's father and continuing his conversation.

"Old Ye, here you go. You sort this out for yourself. Will you go to the county as a concubine, or return home with me? Your child is all grown up now. Give yourself an answer."

Ye Fu's eyes narrowed as he stared at the thing in Gu Han Dong's hands. After some deliberation, he still felt it was inappropriate: "That won't do. What if you guys want to kidnap someone?"

"Don't rush."

Suddenly, a crisp voice came from afar. Several people simultaneously looked up and saw it was Ye Qingqing.

As he strode closer, he purposely raised his voice and shouted, "Brother Feng, I'll walk with you."
