Chapter 1 We are all for your own good
"Your family doesn't have many other things, but only daughters. What's wrong with marrying one? At least it can give your son a few mouthfuls of hot porridge and water." The matchmaker glanced at the five girls who were busy in the yard and advised Li Youtian earnestly.
.
Li Youtian's family of eight is the only one digging for food in the mountains. The pressure can be imagined. Although the Shen family has been exiled here, they have been high officials and are still a wife after all.
If the young man of the Shen family hadn't offended Li Zheng's son, and Li Youtian's daughter had a higher seniority in the Li clan, such a good thing would not have happened to his daughter.
But Li Youtian has never thought of selling his daughter to someone else as a child bride, but now he is a father again. His wife is still in confinement, his son is crying for food, and his daughters are still young.
.
The rice in the jar was almost bottomed out. A bucket of rice was enough to make him excited, but he didn't dare to make the decision without permission. He said he would discuss it with his wife.
"Okay, you can go ahead and ask, and I will make it clear to you. I see that the Shen family does not mean that it must be your family. You have to seize the opportunity." The matchmaker said pretending to be mysterious.
Li Youtian's heart skipped a beat, and all he wanted to do was convince his wife. After all, it was better for his daughter to marry than to follow them.
With the reality before his eyes, Li Youtian said this, then looked at his thin son silently, waiting for his wife's consent for a moment.
As for which daughter to marry, the older one would definitely not work. The eldest daughter is six years older than the younger husband of the Shen family. They agree, but the Shen family may not agree. Besides, the eldest daughter is diligent and can help share the household chores, so the marriage will happen naturally.
On the body of Li Erya, the second daughter of the Li family.
The matchmaker glanced at the little girl who was catching insects, and was stunned for a moment. She looked more upright, so she didn't dislike her. Anyway, she couldn't tolerate her cheating and cheating after entering the Shen family, so she asked Li Youtian to wait for her good news at home.
Li Youtian glanced at his daughter guiltily, and sent her out while responding. After they were far away, he called his daughter to come into the house, "Your mother has something to tell you."
Li Erya lowered his eyes and followed the man blankly.
She finally accepted the fact that she had traveled through time. She never thought that not only had she traveled through time, but she had also become the cannon fodder child bride of the male protagonist in a book about true and false riches.
The male protagonist in the book is talented and intelligent. Although he was exiled to a smog-infested land, he passed the imperial examination and became an official. He killed her, the child bride who bullied him and humiliated him, with the first sword on his way ashore, and then fell into the arms of the real daughter.
A true daughter of a wealthy woman, her husband is more valuable than her husband. After returning to Qidu, she recognized her parents by chance. As the group's favorite, she lived a prosperous life.
It's pitiful that she, a cannon fodder, had to stay alone in a shabby hut for twenty years and could only make a living by digging wild vegetables. She was also teased by her relatives that she was not destined to be an official wife, and finally died in depression.
But based on the memory of the original person and the few descriptions in the book, she really couldn't imagine how a cannon fodder could provoke him. Li Erya was speechless and asked the sky.
As cannon fodder, the book did not give a specific answer, and she did not want to find the answer. She only knew that she did not want to follow the plot in the book and end up worse than Wang Baochuan.
The previous life was extremely miserable, and her biological father named her Li Yan just because she was a girl who would fly into her husband's house sooner or later, and she was just a passerby in the family.
If she hadn't been so sharp, she would have been deprived of the opportunity to study. However, after studying hard for twelve years, Han Chuang finally made it out of the mountains, and she still lived like an ascetic.
This was still the case even after working, but it still took her six years to find a small comfortable home in the city. Then she just complained about the author's description of the mountains between the lines while reading the novel. As for letting her travel into the book
In here?!
It's nothing more than being a rich lady, but she returned to the mountains and wanted to be a child bride. Li Erya looked at the little patience and guilt on his parents' faces and tried to make them give up this idea, "I don't want it, I can
Work.”
Remembering that she had raised part of her tuition fees by selling mountain goods, Li Erya had hope in her heart that this family might not be so bad that she had to sell her daughter, and that she could help them solve the problem of food and clothing, and even make a fortune.
"Don't blame Mom, Mom just wants you to be able to eat white rice... If you still have this family in your heart, you can ask your father-in-law to teach your brother how to read a few words."
"We are all doing this for your own good. I have been a high-ranking official. It is your destiny to like you. You must not know good from evil. We are your parents. Can we harm you?"
"They were exiled here because they offended the emperor. We are marrying them. If the emperor becomes murderous, his head will be lost."
"The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. If the emperor wanted to kill them, he would have killed them long ago. You kid, you have such a long brain that you think of useless things. You might as well think about what to eat tonight."
Speaking of food, the stomachs of the three of them made a few noises in unison. They were all hungry.
The parents were so hungry that all they could think about was how to feed their families right now. Seeing her rebellious attitude, they were so angry that they called her a white-eyed wolf, not understanding their good intentions.
Li Erya was silent. In her last life, because she made her nine-year-old brother work, her parents scolded her for insisting on studying regardless of the family's financial constraints. They scolded her for being a white-eyed wolf who wanted to plunder her parents' family.
But they forgot that she was also working hard to make money, and that she went home to help with farm work on the eve of the college entrance examination. However, everything she did was not as valuable as the few wild fruits her brother picked on the roadside.
Although the original person did not make money, he still did what he could. However, the guilt and patience on his parents' faces disappeared. Li Erya took a deep breath and no longer tried to persuade them to give up the idea of selling their daughter.
Instead of forcibly staying and annoying them, and not being able to take it with them even if they earn a share of the family fortune in the future, it is better to accept the fate of becoming a child bride and live alone in the known plot.
It's not that she abandoned this family, it's that this family abandoned her.
There is nothing to be ashamed of following the plot in the book. Li Erya comforted herself. Anyway, the male protagonist hated her so much that it didn't matter if she had been alone in the hut for twenty years. She would not make a living by digging wild vegetables.
In exchange for her resignation, she got a bowl of sweet, soft and glutinous glutinous rice porridge. Li Erya looked at the porridge water in his sister's bowl and portioned out the glutinous rice.
Her parents were very satisfied with what she did, but felt a little guilty and uneasy again. They always felt that their daughter was a bit strange at the moment. She was a food protector.
Li Erya didn't know why, and didn't want to delve into it. After finishing the porridge, he went into the house to sleep.
But she couldn't sleep. She was getting married tomorrow. She was only nine years old, and she was going to be a wife at the age of nine. She couldn't accept it, but she couldn't resist.
But the male protagonist is only six years old, and he still hates himself... Li Erya kept comforting herself, but before she could mentally build herself up, the other sisters returned to the room one after another.
The eldest sister seemed to have something to say to her, but Li Erya was in no mood to talk and quickly pretended to be asleep.
