"How dare that Li family's wife come back?"
"She didn't want to come back. She carried it back directly. She can't deny it!"
"This old Li family is also evil. They actually married such a slutty woman! How shameless!"
...
In the shabby thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain, the woman on the bed was twisting her thin body in pain.
The little girl was only four or five years old. When she saw the movement on the bed, she was surprised at first, and then shrank back timidly.
Gu Ziqi pressed down on his throbbing temples and slowly sat up.
Hiss!
Why did her body hurt so much? It was as if she had been beaten up!
"Mom... Mom, are you awake?"
The little girl curled up in the corner and said in a trembling voice. She wanted to say nothing, but she was afraid that her mother would use her as an excuse to beat and scold her later.
Gu Ziqi only glanced at her. Before she could speak, her head seemed to have been cut open. The pain made her roll on the bed.
The news of the explosion flooded into Gu Ziqi's mind. Only then did he realize where he was.
The original owner of this body was also called Gu Ziqi. He married a hunter and gave birth to a daughter. Unfortunately, the original owner thought that his daughter was a money-losing woman and disliked this child very much. She often beat and scolded her.
And she was in so much pain now. Wasn't she beaten up?
The original owner was unwilling to suffer with her husband, so she went to seduce the son of a rich businessman in the town. Not only was she laughed at by him, but she was also carried back to the village to publicize what she had done.
"Oh my god!"
Gu Ziqi covered his face in pain. What kind of scum was she wearing?
In this era, cheating was meant to be buried in a pig's cage. Her husband still kept her. Maybe it was true love.
"Mom, are... are you okay?" The thin and weak child hesitantly walked over to her. Only then did Gu Ziqi realize that her legs were trembling.
The child was thin and small, and he was also wearing a coarse gray cloth dress. His palm-sized face was full of uneasiness, but his eyes were big and bright, as if he had entered the starry sky.
Gu Ziqi raised his head. Just as he was about to give her a warm and caring look, he saw the little girl quickly take a step back and fall to the ground with a thud.
Her stomach growled and her face turned red. She thought that the original owner had been lying in bed for three days and had survived through soup and water. She was lucky enough not to starve to death.
But the little girl was like facing a flood and a fierce beast. "Mom, don't be angry. I'm going to cook now."
Her obedient and soft appearance made Gu Ziqi's mother love her so much that she wanted to hug her and kiss her.
Gu Ziqi quickly called out to her. "What... what egg! I'll just do it!"
Such a young child was a lawless devil king in her era!
However, the name of Hairy Egg made Gu Ziqi speechless.
In feudal villages, people believed that cheap people were easy to raise, which led to the lack of decent names for these children.
The house was dirty everywhere, including herself.
Gu Ziqi tried his best to suppress the pain in his stomach and planned to wash himself outside before cooking.
Fortunately, there was plenty of water in the big vat, so she didn't need to pick it. However, when Gu Ziqi lowered his head, he was immediately stunned.
The woman on the water had scars on her side face, which made her look very ferocious. Her body was as thin as a pork rib elf.
Gu Ziqi almost threw his head back and roared. Who was this ugly woman?!
But when he saw the egg carefully following her from the corner of his eye, Gu Ziqi had no choice but to swallow his grievances.
She searched for her memory and walked to the rice jar. There was only a little bit of rice left in it.
Gu Ziqi almost burst into tears. "This family is so poor!"
She probably understood why the original owner was so thin.
Hairy Ball reminded her in a low voice, "Mom, the rice is for the Spring Festival."
Her family was poor, and she could only eat a little better during the Spring Festival. After all, Hairy Egg was still a child, and his desire for food surpassed his mother's fear.
He could only watch and not eat this bit of rice.
Gu Ziqi took a deep breath and tried his best to put on a kind smile. "Mom knows. I just want to have a look. I'm afraid that some mice will steal it."
She endured the pain and covered the rice tank. Then, she began to search in the kitchen. In the end, she only found a small green vegetable.
She took out the vegetables and cleaned them. The cold water in the winter made her shiver.
Gu Ziqi grew up in the city and knew nothing about firewood, let alone in an era where there was no match. After struggling for a long time, he didn't even see a spark, but Hairy Ball came to help her set fire.
The corners of Gu Ziqi's lips curled into a smile subconsciously as he praised, "That's amazing!"
This was the first time that Hairy Ball had heard a compliment from his mother. He couldn't help blushing, but he still smiled shyly.
That look made Gu Ziqi's heart ache. He cursed the original owner in his heart. What had a good child grown up like?
Gu Ziqi looked around the kitchen and found nothing but a can of salt.
The soup was also delicious.
Only in this way could Gu Ziqi comfort himself. He just pinched his nose when he drank the soup and poured it in as if he were taking traditional Chinese medicine.
She looked at the egg that was drinking happily and was about to raise her hand to rub her hair. However, her hand was already half-way. When her eyes came into contact with the shiny hair, she put down her hand embarrassedly.
She liked children, but she preferred clean children.
