“And you bunch of stinking men, chattering away endlessly! Nannan just woke up; she can’t take any more disturbance.”
Qin Baishi glared at the group of people eagerly trying to comfort Yun Zheng, her face devoid of the tenderness she showed Yun Zheng.
“Get out and do your work! If you disturb Nannan’s recovery, I’ll skin you alive!”
Then, she turned to Yun Zheng, her expression shifting faster than flipping a book, her face softening.
“Good girl, you rest well. Grandma will go boil some water for you.”
The family scattered like birds, and the room instantly became quiet. Yun Zheng slowly sat up, finally able to understand her current situation.
It turned out she had fallen asleep from exhaustion during an experiment, died suddenly in her dream, and was reborn into the body of someone with the same name.
This was Xianan Village in Changqing Town in the 1980s. The original owner, Qin Yunzheng, was 16 years old, the youngest granddaughter of the Qin family.
In this era of male chauvinism, sons were treasures while daughters were worthless. Yet the Qin family went against this, spoiling the original owner like a precious gem. They treated her like a precious gem, granting her every wish. If this were ancient times, calling her a princess wouldn’t be an exaggeration. However, this excessive pampering made her selfish and self-centered, only caring about what she wanted.
She took her family’s love for granted, showing no consideration for them, frequently causing trouble in the village and leaving the Qin family to clean up the mess.
Later, she fell for Xu Tianzhi, an educated youth[1] assigned from the city, and under the instigation of her “plastic friend” Cheng Xuening, she committed a series of irreversible acts, leading herself and the Qin family step by step towards destruction.
Yun Zheng took a deep breath, inwardly cursing the original owner for being so stupid. “Just for some random man, did you really have to do this? You needlessly destroyed your loving family. You’re a disgrace to us girls!”
But if the original owner hadn’t caused trouble, she wouldn’t have had a second chance at life.
Since fate had ordained her to be reborn into the Qin family, carrying the original owner’s memories, it must be to allow her to avert the tragedy of the Qin family’s past life.
….
“Nannan, time to eat.”
The door opened, and Qin Baishi brought steamed egg custard[2], while Qin Zhihua brought sweet potato rice[3]. They came to the bedside one after the other, setting up a wooden stool to serve Yun Zheng.
After a night’s rest, Yun Zheng’s fever had subsided. Seeing Qin Baishi and Qin Zhihua enter, she immediately tried to get out of bed, but Qin Baishi held her hand down.
“Nannan, don’t move. Just lie down. Grandma will feed you. I don’t want you to get tired.”
Last night, Yun Zheng was weak when she drank chicken soup and Qin Baishi fed her, which was bad enough. Now that she was better, it was inappropriate for the old woman to feed her.
“Grandma, I can eat by myself. I’m fine now.”
Yun Zheng thought that as an outsider, she would be embarrassed to call Qin Baishi by her name, but she didn’t expect to say it so easily.
Perhaps it was Qin Baishi’s pure and unadulterated warmth and affection that melted her heart, a warmth she had never experienced in either her past or present lives, moving her completely without a trace of incongruity.
The author has something to say:
Many readers are confused about whether the female lead is a time traveller or a reincarnated being, and why she knows about the events of the original owner’s previous life.
This is foreshadowing, explained later. All you need to know is that the female lead is reborn into the body of the original owner who has already lived one life, to avert the tragedy of that past life.
