3: Chapter 3 In the Beginning_1 3: Chapter 3 In the Beginning_1 Quite coincidentally, the original person also went by the name of Qiao Duo’er and was nicknamed Silly Sister.
Thinking about Silly Sister’s life story, Qiao Duo’er had the heart to kill herself!
Qiao Duo’er was the eldest daughter of the Qiao Family.
Her parents favored sons over daughters, and once they had a son, their daughter became as insignificant as roadside grass.
Adding to that, Silly Sister’s low intelligence made her an even greater nuisance to them.
She couldn’t get enough to eat, wasn’t provided adequate clothing, and still had to work hard.
Once she turned fifteen, she was sold to the Tan Family for only one or two silver coins.
Silly Sister had heard people say that after getting married, life would get better, so she was always looking forward to it.
But how could life be good with a wicked mother-in-law and a malicious brother-in-law and his wife in the family?
It was more of a daydream than reality!
And just her luck, on the second day after her wedding, the man Silly Sister married, having eaten his fill, went hunting in the mountains and was carried back home in the evening with an injury.
When the doctor came to see him, he said the leg was broken, and he might become crippled as a result.
The Tan Family members now had even more gripes against her, spreading word that she was a Star of Misfortune, a harbinger of bad luck.
So their son slips and breaks his own leg, and it’s the daughter-in-law’s fault?
The Tan Family had such logic, and this made Silly Sister’s already difficult life even harder.
Although the original person was not very intelligent, she wasn’t negative and knew what it felt like to be heartbroken.
She went to the main room to eat at noon, and before she could even taste her food, she was cursed out by her mother-in-law.
Silly Sister felt very wronged and, in a fit of anger, jumped into the river.
Silly Sister, not knowing how to swim, drowned.
After she was saved from the river, the person inhabiting her body became the special agent Qiao Duo, which led to the spectacle of her spouting water.
Alas, did she flip up God’s skirt or something?
To think she was being punished like this!
Back in the day, she could freely go anywhere she wanted, she had never failed a mission, each year she was named a top agent, and she was a benchmark in the industry…
Forget it…
she’s about to faint from hunger, what’s the point in reminiscing about the past?
Dammit, if she had known that a nap could lead to this, she would have preferred to go without sleep for seven days and nights!
As her stomach growled, Qiao Duo guessed that the man who needed to relieve himself had tidied up, so she opened her eyes.
“Is there any food?
I’m hungry.”
She thought about dying, but she feared not being able to return to her previous life after death.
So, she decided to remain alive.
Living happily as an ordinary person in this life didn’t sound too bad.
Uh…
not quite right, she indeed was an ordinary person, but aiming for happiness seemed a bit difficult.
Tan Zhenghong still had a stern look on his face, “There is a bun on the table.”
Qiao Duo followed the man’s gaze and saw a bun in a bowl on the table, but the man had a broken leg, meaning it wasn’t that he didn’t want to eat but that he couldn’t.
He had just broken his leg and was already enduring this treatment?
This wasn’t the original person’s fault but rather that this man wasn’t favored by his mother, especially after he broke his leg, she cared even less about him.
Qiao Duo swallowed and grabbed the bun, breaking it in half and handing it to the man.
“I’m not hungry,” said Tan Zhenghong, turning his head away.
He thought back to that night’s events, and a trace of emotion appeared on his otherwise cold face.
Besides breaking his leg, he never thought he would have such an awful experience again in his life.
Their marriage was simple: they paid their respects to heaven and earth, and then he was sent to the bridal chamber.
His mother brought them two bowls of noodles, which served as their wedding dinner.
Silly Sister’s way of eating…
she just poured the bowl into her mouth, getting noodle soup all over her face and body.
After she finished both bowls of noodles, he didn’t even have the desire for consummating the marriage, as she was too dirty for him to lay a hand on.
