 Chapter 1

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    On a cliff shrouded in mist, a girl in pink could be seen reaching out to pick a herb. She lay her other hand on the steep rocky wall to steady herself.


    Shen Wan had been reborn into this world. In her previous life, she had died a miserable death. She had been killed after being raped by a hooligan and thrown into the wilderness. Her wandering soul had thrown itself into a little beggar from this wondrous world. She had gone through many hardships and learned medical skills from an expert outside the world. She had also learned the magic that was unique to this world.


    It was not easy for her to obtain wealth and strength, but Shen Wan really wanted to return to her original world to take revenge and protect her family. However, she still could not find a way to return.


    Thinking of this, Shen Wan sighed. Just as she was about to bring the herbs back, she suddenly saw two rays of light approaching from far in the sky. There were also faint sounds of explosions and gunshots.


    The big shots were actually fighting?


    Because she wanted to know where the sound was coming from, Shen Wan leaned against the cliff and quietly watched.


    Just as she excitedly joined in on watching the fun, a piercing sound rang out. The green Arrow of Light suddenly shot out from where the two elders were fighting and was headed straight for Shen Wan¡¯s position!


    Before Shen Wan could react, the light green Arrow of Light shot into her chest. An extremely powerful force shook her so hard that her organs were almost dissipated. Right when Shen Wan thought she was going to die, a green light appeared on her chest!


    The feeling of her soul being sent flying was so painful!


    There was a metallic taste in Shen Wan¡¯s throat and she spat out a mouthful of blood. She was so scared that she used the Ling energy in her body to heal herself. However, this action stunned her.


    The spiritual energy in the surrounding air was pitifully thin! It was far from the rich and abundant feeling she always felt in the magical world!


    Not having the time to check on her injuries, Shen Wan hurriedly looked around.


    To her sight, she saw low and scattered brick houses, bare vegetable fields, and muddy roads full of weeds¡­


    Wasn¡¯t this place the small village she had lived in her previous life?!


    Her soul had been beaten out of her body by the two big shots, and she had been reborn back to her original world!


    Shen Wan was overjoyed. She looked at her old and worn school uniform that had turned yellow and was so excited that tears were about to come out.


    She stopped an old man who was carrying two baskets of sweet potatoes and asked in a trembling voice, ¡°Sir, what year and month is it now?¡±


    The old man first looked at the excited Shen Wan like she was an id*ot and said the date. Then, he spoke in a strange dialect, ¡°Aren¡¯t you the third child of the Shen family? Your parents are quarreling again. Why don¡¯t you go back and persuade them to stop? Stop wandering around outside!¡±


    ¡°Good, good, good! I¡¯ll go back now!¡±


    Shen Wan quickly responded. After she finished speaking, she ran along the familiar country path in the direction of home.


    At this time, she was still in high school. The traumatic rape incident had not happened, her two elder sisters were still fine, and her father had not done the shameful thing of giving all the money in the family to her uncle¡¯s family!


    It wasn¡¯t the worst time yet, it was still not too late to save herself!


    Along the way, she walked as if she floating on clouds. She was completely different from the malnourished her in her previous life, who would have easily fallen with a gust of wind.


    Shen Wan hypothesized that she probably brought back the body that had been treated by all sorts of rare treasures from the wondrous magical world.


    However, just as she reached the door of the dilapidated tile-roofed house, a porcelain bowl shattered at her feet.


    ¡°You b*tch, the fourteen thousand dollars is compensation! I¡¯m using it for my own brother, why should you care?¡± Shen Gang¡¯s scolding could be heard from the house.


    Shen Wan quickly entered the room and saw her mother, Deng Ying, painfully curled up on the ground, tightly holding a passbook in her arms. Her face was full of tears as she shook her head and said, ¡°I can¡¯t give it to you¡­ This money is from Shen Xin and Shen Yu¡¯s part-time jobs. It¡¯s used to repair the house and pay for the children¡¯s school fees¡­¡±


    The youngest sister, Shen Miao, held her head with both hands and hid at the corner of the wall with a fearful expression. She looked like a pitiful child.


    Her father, Shen Gang, valued having sons over daughters and had an extremely huge ego. He was holding a big broom and waving it at Deng Ying aggressively.


    In her previous life, Shen Wan had seen this scene many times. Ever since her father had been working in the factory and had his leg broken by a falling steel pipe, all he did was do a whole lot of nothing at home. Not only did he have his wife, Deng Ying, serve him tea and food, but he would also hit and scold her and his daughters if things did not go his way.


    Outside, Shen Gang didn¡¯t have the prestige of the family. He was a good-for-nothing soul that everyone despised and didn¡¯t dare to talk back to. This despicable man actually blamed Deng Ying for not being able to give birth to a son and could only give birth to four money-sucking daughters!


    This kind of person who bullied the weak, valued men over women, and would only bring harm to her family, was a scourge in any world!


    Shen Wan¡¯s eyes were sharp and her reflexes were quick. She stopped Shen Gang¡¯s broom from hitting Deng Ying right when he lifted his hand.


    Shen Gang¡¯s eyes widened. He tried to take the broom back from Shen Wan¡¯s hands but found that the broom seemed to be welded to Shen Wan¡¯s hands and could not be pulled out.


    He didn¡¯t expect that his daughter ¡ª who looked so skinny and weak ¡ª would have such great grip strength. Shen Gang became even more furious and said, ¡°You money-sucking child, you¡¯re in the way of me hitting your mother! I¡¯ll beat you to death if you stand in my way!¡±


    Shen Gang let go of the broom and turned to pick up the walking stick on the table. He was ready to hit Shen Wan as well.


    If this was the past, she would have chosen to stand where she was and silently endure this unjust behavior. However, the current Shen Wan was the Shen Wan who had been reborn in the wondrous magical world and had learned many skills.


    She had been given a second chance in her life. She would never be a punching bag again!


    Shen Wan could not be bothered to talk to this scoundrel of a father who only knew how to hit and scold his family. She used all the Ling energy in her body and prepared to kill Shen Gang on the spot.


    Although the spiritual energy in this world was thin, she was still confident that she could kill an ordinary person with magic!

    However, just as she gathered her magic and was about to kill Shen Gang, there was a sudden thunderous roar. Shen Wan immediately felt a throbbing sensation in her head that foreshadowed death.


    ¡®Oh no,¡¯ Shen Wan thought to herself. ¡®That¡¯s not good.¡¯


    Although she could still use the skills that she had learned in the magical world, she was still suppressed by the laws of nature here. If she killed Shen Gang without regard for the laws, she would also be punished and die!


    When she learned of this situation, Shen Wan quickly withdrew her magic and directed it to kick away Shen Gang¡¯s walking stick.


    This kick was so powerful that it knocked Shen Gang¡¯s walking stick out of his hand and made him lose his balance. His body tilted and he fell on his butt.


    Looking at her palm, Shen Wan realized that the power she currently possessed was not something a normal person could match. She could tell that with this punch, she could kill an adult man.


    With absolute power to suppress anyone, Shen Wan ignored Shen Gang while he sat on the ground cursing. She turned around to help up the weak Deng Ying and her younger sister Shen Miao who was hiding in the corner.


    ¡°Mom! Shen Miao! Don¡¯t be afraid, I¡¯m back.¡± When Shen Wan saw her worried mother and her frightened little sister, her heart ached as she comforted them.


    When Deng Ying saw her third daughter, she immediately wailed in agony. She told Shen Wan intermittently, ¡°Your dad wants to take all our money to give to his eldest uncle¡¯s family to get a wife¡­¡±


    That sc*mbag of a family?!


    Shen Wan laughed coldly. She knew that in reality, after Shen Gang lent out all the money to that family, they never returned!


    They did not pay a single cent back!


    To think that her st*pid father even believed in her uncle¡¯s family¡¯s lies and thought that her uncle¡¯s son would take care of him when he was old and send him off¡­ He foolishly believed anything they said!


    ¡°Who gave you the right to decide on such a thing? If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that your useless body can¡¯t give birth to a son, and that there¡¯s no man in the family to carry on the family line, would I have to count on my nephew to take care of me when I¡¯m older?¡±


    The more Shen Gang thought of this, the angrier he became. He got up and saw Shen Wan standing in front of the mother and daughter with a frown. He picked up the rolling pin beside his hand and pointed it at Shen Wan as he scolded, ¡°You b*tch, are you trying to rebel against me? I¡¯ll teach you a good lesson right now!¡±


    Before Shen Wan could do anything, Deng Ying wailed and spread her arms in front of her husband. She begged, ¡°I¡¯ll give it to you! I¡¯ll give you the passbook! Please, don¡¯t hit me!¡±


    Seeing Deng Ying take out the crumpled passbook from her pocket with trembling hands, Shen Gang snatched it back without hesitation. ¡°D*mn it! Only when I get angry will they listen to me! I had no choice!¡±


    ¡°You¡­¡±


    Shen Wan naturally could not stand his attitude of only knowing how to bully women. She was just about to open her mouth to fight back when she felt her mother pull on the hem of her clothes.


    Sensing that her mother was currently trembling in fear and was in a state of extreme shock Shen Wan gritted her teeth. Her eyes filled with killing intent toward Shen Gang and she forcefully swallowed the ridicule on the edge of her mouth.


    If she wasn¡¯t worried for her mother¡¯s well-being, she would definitely teach this useless father a good lesson!


    Shen Gang was still cursing, but when he looked at Shen Wan again, he was met with fiery eyes. Where was her usual weak and easy-to-bully appearance?


    Thinking of the strength of the girl¡¯s kick, Shen Gang subconsciously took a step back and fear grew in his heart.


    Since he had already gotten the passbook, he might as well give himself a way out. ¡°I don¡¯t want to be involved with you girls anymore. I¡¯m going to quickly send the money to my big brother!¡±


    After he finished speaking, Shen Gang picked up his walking stick, turned around, and hurriedly walked out of the room.


    When Shen Gang walked to the door, a thunderous roar rang out. In an instant, heavy rain poured down, forcing Shen Gang to retreat back into the house.


    ¡°Bah! This st*pid bad weather!¡± Shen Gang was so angry that he spat on the ground.


    Sensing that her mother and sister were nervous, Shen Wan sighed. Although her face was tightly furrowed, she still softened her tone and advised her father, ¡°It¡¯s raining so heavily outside. You might fall on the slippery roads. You can just deliver the money tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Hmph,¡± he snorted.


    Shen Gang snorted coldly and didn¡¯t reply. However, from the way he turned around and went into the room, and sat down on the bed, it was clear that he had agreed to the suggestion of delivering the money tomorrow.


    After a while, Shen Gang¡¯s voice came from the back room, ¡°Deng Ying! Why aren¡¯t you cooking? Are you trying to starve me to death?¡±


    ¡°Okay!¡± Deng Ying quickly responded and wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand. She casually wiped them on her grey apron and whispered to her two daughters, ¡°I¡¯m going to make dinner. Don¡¯t make your dad angry, okay?¡±


    Shen Wan intended to carry out her little plan of teaching Shen Gang a lesson, so she raised her voice and replied, ¡°Mom, it¡¯ll take too long for you to cook alone. Shen Miao and I can help you!¡±


    The mother and daughter trio left the main room which was filled with an oppressive atmosphere. They only felt a little more relaxed when they arrived at the small kitchen outside the house.


    Even though Shen Miao was only 10 years old, she was a very sensible child. After bringing small stools for Deng Ying and Shen Wan to sit down, she obediently squatted at the side and quietly plucked the vegetables.


    As Shen Wan worked, she looked around for an opportunity to strike.


    Just as her eyes fell on a jar of Shen Gang¡¯s favorite wine in the cabinet, Deng Ying suddenly broke her train of thought, ¡°Shen Wan, I know that you¡¯ve been wronged at home. It¡¯s all my fault.¡±


    Shen Wan paused. She looked at Deng Ying, whose tears had gathered again, and replied, ¡°It¡¯s not your fault, Mom. Don¡¯t worry, sometimes we suffer too. I¡¯ll take care of you and your children in the future!¡±


    Since she had been reborn by chance and all her skills were transferred over to her too, she would take revenge and make up for all the regrets in her previous life. She would lead her family to a happy life!


    Deng Ying was in tears, but she still forced out a gratified smile. She said while choking with sobs, ¡°I know that you¡¯re both good children. Dad can¡¯t see through you. He¡¯s old and listens to your grandparents. He thinks that only a son can take care of him when he¡¯s old, so he did the st*pid thing of lending out our family¡¯s money. Shen Wan, don¡¯t hate your father for this one¡­¡±

 Chapter 3

    After seriously listening to Deng Ying¡¯s words, Shen Wan¡¯s heart ached for her.


    Deng Ying was a very traditional woman from the countryside. She did not like to dress up and preferred to live a down-to-earth life. She was simple and kind, regarded her husband as her everything, and loved her daughters very much.


    She understood what Deng Ying meant. She hoped that she would not hate her biological father so much. After all, it was Shen Gang who worked outside and raised the four of them till now.


    Shen Gang was not an entirely bad person, but he was too st*pid and foolish!


    He always felt that as long as he was filial to his parents and brother, he would be able to get help and affection. In reality, they were just using him for their own benefit!


    If something really happened to Shen Gang, a traditional woman like Deng Ying would never remarry.


    She would rather be a widow for the rest of her life than have the villagers gossip about her.


    Did she have to destroy her mother¡¯s happiness for a moment¡¯s hatred?


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I don¡¯t hate him. When I saw him hit you, I acted like that in a moment of desperation.¡± Shen Wan took the jar of wine from the cabinet and took a cup. She turned around and poured the wine while talking to Deng Ying.


    However, in a place where Deng Ying could not see, she secretly cast a dream magic into the wine. This magic would make everything that Shen Gang experienced in his dream seems as if it had really happened, and the contents of the dream would be constructed by the spellcaster.


    The moment the food was served, Shen Gang gobbled it down. When Shen Wan and the others came over with their food, Shen Gang had already finished more than half of his food.


    Looking at the plain soup and the lack of meat and fish in the food, Shen Wan¡¯s appetite disappeared. She picked up a piece of cabbage and suggested something, ¡°Shen Miao is still growing. We need to cook some meat or something. It¡¯s good for growing.¡±


    It was an unintentional sentence, but it made Shen Gang smash his chopsticks to the table. He blew his beard and glared, ¡°Your grandparents don¡¯t usually have much meat at home. If there¡¯s meat, of course, we have to send it to them first. What kind of meat does a young girl need?¡±


    Shen Wan had long known her father¡¯s foolish and filial character and helplessly shook her head but did not make a fuss. It was Shen Miao who was young and did not know the ways of the world that spoke. She said innocently, ¡°But every time Grandpa and Grandma have meat, they don¡¯t bring it for us to eat!¡±


    When Shen Gang heard this, he immediately became anxious.


    Shen Miao¡¯s words were indeed the truth. Usually, when there was meat at home, he would quickly send it to his parents and eldest brother and did not see them sending anything over. In any case, he had seen his family eat more meat over the years compared to them.


    After being choked by Shen Miao¡¯s childlike innocent words, Shen Gang was unable to refute and could only slam the table again. He stood up and shouted,¡±You¡¯ve f*cking learned how to talk back, haven¡¯t you?¡±


    Worried that Shen Gang was going to hit the child, Shen Wan quickly used her hands to protect Shen Miao and said softly, ¡°What¡¯s so good about bullying a child?¡±


    Seeing this, Deng Ying quickly tried to smooth things over. ¡°Tomorrow, tomorrow I¡¯ll go to the butcher¡¯s to buy some meat for everyone!¡±


    ¡°Good, you¡¯re really good. You didn¡¯t even consider thinking that¡­¡±


    After swallowing the last mouthful of wine, he was drunk.


    Shen Gang¡¯s body swayed. He didn¡¯t know why the wine he drank today was so intoxicating that it made him want to sleep. He pointed at the three and staggered back to the inner room. Deng Ying quickly helped him to the bed.


    After he fell into a deep sleep, the image that Shen Wan had carefully constructed for him with magic gradually appeared in Shen Gang¡¯s dream¡­


    There was an old saying in the village that a married daughter was like spilled water ¡ª she had no value to her family, hence being totally worthless. Only by raising a child could one add value to their life. Shen Gang had always agreed with this view.


    Since he was young, Shen Gang had been instilled by his parents with the idea of being obedient to his parents and brothers. He never once dared to disobey his parents at all. He even treated his nephews as his own sons, hoping that they would take care of him when he was old.


    Shen Gang took out as much money as they had at home and used it all to build a house for his nephews to get married.


    However, towards his own family, Shen Gang was ruthless. His third daughter, Shen Wan, was raped and killed by his eldest nephew¡¯s cousin, Chai Nian. On the account that they were relatives, he endured it. His fourth daughter, Shen Miao, was sold for tens of thousands of dollars and his other two daughters were used as tools to earn some money.

 Chapter 4

    In the end, his wife, Deng Ying, was so stressed that she hanged herself. His daughters cut off all ties with him, claiming that with such a father, they would rather he die outside than care about him.


    His legs were so rotten that he was paralyzed on the bed, unable to move. He ate, drank, and defecated on the bed. His stench was so bad that the neighbors around him had moved away.


    He lived in a dilapidated old house and often did not have food to eat.


    However, none of the relatives he had treated with his heart and soul cared about him. The nephews who had said that they would take care of him in his old age were nowhere to be seen! They did not return a single bit of the money he had lent them all those years ago¡­


    He could only watch as his body was gnawed at by the rats and the insects crawled all over him. He cried every night in pain, and finally, he reached a point of hunger so bad that he couldn¡¯t even scream.


    At the last moment of his life, his well-dressed parents finally came in. They came in with their hands covering their noses and looked at him with disdain. They told him personally that he was not the biological son of the Shen family!


    At the last moment of his death, many thoughts flashed through Shen Gang¡¯s mind. He finally came to a realization.


    He felt so regretful! He hated it! If he hadn¡¯t listened to their nonsense and treated his four daughters well, perhaps he would have been able to lead a good life¡­


    Early the next morning, when Shen Wan woke up, she found her father, Shen Gang, sitting alone in the small courtyard with an extremely strange expression.


    Sensing that the dream magic from last night had taken effect, Shen Wan asked, ¡°Dad, aren¡¯t you going to send money to your brother¡¯s house? Why haven¡¯t you left yet?¡±


    Shen Gang raised his head and looked at her. His face was full of panic and fear.


    His lips trembled, and he gritted his teeth, ¡°I won¡¯t send it off! What does his son getting a wife have to do with me? It¡¯s better to use it for our own household!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Deng Ying, who was busy in the kitchen, came over and said in surprise, ¡°Really? You really don¡¯t want to give them the money?¡±


    ¡°Of course! I said I won¡¯t, so I really won¡¯t! Would I lie to you?¡± Shen Gang¡¯s expression was a little unnatural.


    Seeing that Deng Ying was about to cry again, he quickly took out the passbook from his pocket and stuffed it into her hand. ¡°Take this passbook. We¡¯ll just live a good life at home in the future. Don¡¯t worry about anything else.¡±


    When he woke up in the morning, Shen Gang took a long time to recover from the despair in his dream. The things that happened in the dream were so real that it was as if he had experienced it himself!


    Could it be that this was what really happened? Did the heavens take pity on him and gave him a warning?


    No matter what, when he thought of his miserable ending in the dream, Shen Gang felt that he could not go on like this!


    What pushed him was finding out that he was not their biological son in the dream. It was like a thorn that ruthlessly stabbed into his heart. It seemed to have an answer to the things that he had been unable to figure out all these years.


    It was no wonder that his parents did not like him since he was young. Nothing he did could ever be as good as his elder brother. No matter how filial he was to his parents, they always sided with his elder brother¡¯s family and only gave the good things to him.


    In the past, he had thought that he had not done a good enough job. It turned out that it was because he was not their biological son that they were using him and humiliating him!


    In the end, he was betrayed, he was the fool who had been tricked and played by others!


    ¡°Okay, okay. Our house is always leaking, so we can use the money to fix it. Also, the school is always urging us to pay for Shen Wan and Miao Miao¡¯s school fees. Shen Xin and Shen Yu are under a lot of pressure, and they¡¯re not doing well¡­¡± Deng Ying carefully put the passbook into her arms and a rare smile appeared on her face. She started to talk about the trifle things in life.


    Shen Gang lit a cigarette and started smoking.


    He stared at the ground with a sullen face and continued, ¡°Find someone to repair the house this spring. Pay the money that you need to pay. Don¡¯t let others take advantage of you!¡±


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go make breakfast. I don¡¯t want you to go hungry.¡± It was rare for Deng Ying to see the stubborn Shen Gang thinking things through. Her mood instantly brightened. She put on her apron and went to make breakfast.


    The moment he heard the word hungry. Shen Gang¡¯s hair stood on end. The feeling of being so hungry and unable to move in his bed in his dream last night seemed to have happened just a moment ago. He never wanted to experience this feeling again in his life!


    Then, he looked at his crippled leg and thought to himself that he should go to the hospital to have it checked out. It was crippled, not broken. There was always a possibility of recovery. If he were to be crippled for the rest of his life, he would really be just waiting for his death.

 Chapter 5

    Shen Wan was washing up at the side in silence and after listening to their conversation, she could not help but smile.


    It seemed that this dream had caused a huge psychological shadow on Shen Gang. He was so scared that he changed his mind over several things overnight. He was finally not the st*pid b*stard who sent money to his uncle¡¯s family. He was not looking for his family.


    As for Shen Gang¡¯s subsequent transformation, she would have to implement it step by step.


    After eating a bowl of hot noodles, Shen Wan warmed up. She picked up a shovel in the corner and walked briskly towards the door of the small courtyard.


    When Shen Gang saw Shen Wan¡¯s carefree appearance, he frowned.


    This kind of physical work should be done by men. Shen Wan was a girl, so doing this was improper and would just end up embarrassing him.


    ¡°Why are you running around with a shovel?¡± Shen Gang immediately shouted. ¡°Haven¡¯t you embarrassed yourself enough?¡±


    Shen Wan stuck the shovel into the frozen snow that was as high as her calf and replied, ¡°I¡¯m shoveling snow at the entrance. Also, we have to clean up our yard. We have to wait for Shen Shu and the rest to come and help. It¡¯ll be summer soon.¡±


    ¡°Stop this instance! You¡¯ll fall to your death if you keep going!¡± Shen Gang was anxious. If it wasn¡¯t for his crippled leg and the slippery floor in the winter, he would have chased after her and knocked her head.


    However, Shen Wan shoveled the thick snow to the side in a few moves and even used a shovel to create a small slide. When Shen Miao saw it, she ran out and played happily on the snow slide.


    Shen Shu was the son of her eldest uncle, Shen Qiang. He was usually a lazy bum, but it was a pity that the entire Shen family treated him like a treasure, always thinking that he would become rich and become a high-ranking official in the future.


    Shen Shu was best at talking big and coaxing her father, Shen Gang, to be like a fool. He even said that he would take Shen Gang to live in the city in the future and that he would bring good wine to visit him during festivals. He would say all kinds of good things, but unfortunately, none of them came true.


    Shen Gang, who was watching from the side, had obviously thought of this as well. He recalled the grateful expression on Shen Shu¡¯s face every time he asked him for money. It was as if he was Shen Shu¡¯s real father, and he promised to take care of him for everything. However, the snow had been frozen at his door for a week, and he had not come over. He had not even offered once to help.


    In the end, it was his third daughter, Shen Wan, who did it. The more Shen Gang thought about it, the more upset he felt. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that Shen Wan was much more pleasing to the eye.


    ¡°Look, aren¡¯t I done? Even women can do this kind of work! If men can do it, women can do it too!¡± After Shen Wan was done, she did not forget to show off to Shen Gang, who was at the side. Shen Gang¡¯s face darkened, but he did not know what to say.


    Shen Gang thought, ¡®No wonder Deng Ying told me that she was a sweet little cotton jacket.¡¯


    Wasn¡¯t this reflected now? Even though Shen Wan was not a son who could take care of the family in her old age, she would at least consider the family and was a person who did practical things.


    After the house was cleaned up, it finally felt like home. Shen Wan clapped her hands and felt her body full of energy and warmth.


    It seemed that this was all thanks to her strong physique that she had brought back from the magical world. If she had her small body in the past, she wouldn¡¯t even be able to lift a shovel and would fall ill with the cold wind. Then, no one would be able to do all the heavy work in the house.


    ¡°Wow, when did you become so powerful?¡± Shen Miao saw that Shen Wan was not panting after finishing her work and her curious mind came over as she asked carefully.


    Her little face was red from the cold, and there was a line of snot hanging from it.


    Shen Wan used the hot water to carefully wipe her sister¡¯s face and gently replied, ¡°Because I¡¯ve already grown up.¡±


    ¡°Then I want to grow up quickly and help Mom and Dad with work!¡± Shen Miao blinked her big eyes and had a childlike look.


    Just as the two sisters were having a good time, a sharp and hoarse voice suddenly came from outside the door. ¡°Shen Gang, are you home? We¡¯ve been waiting for you at home for two days, why haven¡¯t you come yet!¡±


    When she heard this voice, Shen Wan knew that it was that mean, petty, and greedy grandmother.


    When Shen Gang saw the old lady, he remembered the bad scene in his dream last night and his expression instantly turned ugly.


    Grandma Shen had her hands behind her back and Shen Shu was behind her. The two of them were like gang leaders. They stood at the door and looked around before Grandma Shen said, ¡°What¡¯s this for?¡±


    Seeing this, Shen Shu quickly ran out from behind her and sneakily smiled at Shen Gang, ¡°Uncle, didn¡¯t you say to let me do all the dirty work? Why did you do it yourself? It must¡¯ve been hard on you!¡±

 Chapter 6

    As soon as he saw his nephew who did not care about him in his dream, Shen Gang smiled and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t do this. It¡¯s all thanks to Shen Wan.¡±


    ¡°Oh, this¡­ ¡± Shen Shu turned his head and followed Shen Gang¡¯s gaze. He saw Shen Wan crossing her arms and looking at him with an unfriendly expression.


    He choked for a moment before saying, ¡°How much work can that small body do? If her hands are rough, she won¡¯t be able to get married in the future. Uncle, since you¡¯re done with your work, I can¡¯t help you anymore. Remember to call me next time if you need help.¡±


    Shen Shu¡¯s smile was very bright as if he was really ready to help others. He said good things with his mouth, but he also disparaged Shen Wan between the lines, hinting that she was more valuable after she gets married.


    Shen Wan had long been disgusted by these hypocritical relatives. Since Shen Shu¡¯s words were so nice, it was as if her family owed Shen Shu a favor. She picked up a plastic bucket and a wooden ladle from the corner of the wall and forcefully stuffed them into Shen Shu¡¯s hands.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you like to help my family? You have long arms and legs, so you are the only one who can do this. I¡¯ll leave this to you!¡± Shen Wan¡¯s smile was bright.


    ¡°How can I do that!¡± When Shen Shu thought about how the bucket and ladle were used to scoop out feces, he felt disgusted and threw them on the ground.


    Shen Gang saw the whole scene. No matter how st*pid he was, he could understand that his nephew was making empty promises and was not actually willing to sacrifice more without personal gain.


    ¡°Shen Shu, don¡¯t promise anything that you can¡¯t do in the future!¡± He said in a low voice.


    ¡°Uncle, you¡¯ve misunderstood.¡± Shen Shu originally wanted to court favor, but in the end, he was snubbed. He was put on the spot and did not know what to do.


    It was still Grandma Shen who was good at reading people¡¯s expressions. When she felt that the situation was not in his favor, she quickly stood up and said, ¡°Son, I¡¯m here to talk to you about marriage. It¡¯s a joyous occasion in the first month of the lunar year. Everyone has a share of the good news, but this is still lacking¡­¡±


    As she spoke, Grandma Shen winked and rubbed her fingers a few times at Shen Gang, signaling him to quickly hand over the money that he had promised.


    After experiencing the terrifying yet realistic dream last night, Shen Gang did not dare to give away his family¡¯s money anymore. He continued to play dumb. ¡°That sure is a good thing. It¡¯s worth a celebration.¡±


    When she heard Shen Gang playing d*mb and not mentioning the money at all, Grandma Shen immediately turned unhappy. She asked with a straight face, ¡°Shen Gang, you agreed to it a few days ago. Why are you playing dumb now? Without your money, how can Shen Shu get married? I¡¯m very disappointed in you!¡±


    Usually, when Grandma Shen changed her attitude, Shen Gang would immediately become nervous and quickly apologize to please her.


    This time, however, Shen Gang didn¡¯t even think and rejected the idea, ¡°No, I won¡¯t lend it to you anymore!¡±


    Shen Wan raised her brows. She originally thought that once Grandma Shen came, the foolish and filial Shen Gang would waver. She did not expect him to reject the suggestion so bluntly. Not bad, this b*stard father can still be saved!


    ¡°What did you just say? You¡¯re not giving us the money anymore?¡±


    The moment she heard Shen Gang reject her, Grandma Shen¡¯s voice suddenly became sharp, like a kettle of boiling water ready to pop.


    Thinking that she had yet to get the money, she quickly composed herself and said the words that she had always used to brainwash Shen Gang, ¡°Shen Gang, I¡¯m really doing this for your own good. Your four daughters will all be married off in the future, and you¡¯ll be left alone. In the end, you¡¯ll have to rely on your nephew to support you! Just treat Shen Shu as your own son, he will definitely treat you well!¡±


    Usually, Shen Gang would definitely agree with her point of view and then fantasize with her about a beautiful future with his nephew.


    However, this time, it would have been better if she did not mention it. Once she did, Shen Gang got angry. ¡°You guys sure have a nice way of speaking! When I¡¯m old, they won¡¯t care about me and let me freeze to death, starve to death, or be bitten to death by rats! Now, my daughters can support the family and work, but has Shen Shu really done anything for me?¡±


    Seeing that Shen Gang, who had always liked him, suddenly became harsh and cold, Shen Shu felt embarrassed. ¡°Uncle, how can you say that? I really treat you like my real father!¡±

 Chapter 7

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°If you see me as your real father, then pay back the seven thousand dollars you borrowed from me a few years ago! I can¡¯t be a cripple for the rest of my life. I still need to go to the city to treat my leg, and I¡¯m short of seven thousand dollars!¡± Shen Gang was not willing to listen to these sugar-coated words anymore. He waved his hand and no longer looked at Grandma Shen and Shen Shu.


    The money that they borrowed from Shen Gang had long been spent by his family. Moreover, there was no reason for them to give up what they had already obtained. Shen Shu and Grandma Shen did not even think and rejected him in unison, ¡°We have no money!¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t have money, but you still want to take money from my dad? That fourteen thousand dollars is compensation for my father¡¯s leg, and my two sisters have worked hard for many years to save it. Do you think you can have it just because you asked? Do you think it¡¯s that easy?¡± Shen Wan was happy to see these two money suckers suffer and fanned the flames from the side.


    ¡°Mom, do you think that your grandson¡¯s marriage is a big deal, but my broken leg is not?¡±


    Seeing how Grandma Shen and Shen Shu refused to pay back the money so decisively, the last bit of hope in Shen Gang¡¯s heart was obliterated.


    He turned to look at the pestering old lady and asked, ¡°Is it because I¡¯m not your biological son? Is that why you don¡¯t love me? ¡±


    As soon as he said this, Grandma Shen¡¯s entire person was like a lit firecracker. Her entire figure bounced up and she hurriedly shouted, ¡°Nonsense! Of course, you¡¯re my biological son! You came out from me, and it was I who raised you up!¡±


    However, the more intense Grandma Shen¡¯s reaction was, the more it proved that she was guilty of something. When Shen Gang thought about how everything in his dream was real, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley¡­


    Noticing that Shen Gang was unmoved by her pitiful words, Grandma Shen became ruthless. She stomped her foot and wanted to rush into the house to find the money herself.


    Of course, Shen Wan would not let her do as she wished. She stood at the door of the central room and blocked Grandma Shen. ¡°Grandma, what you¡¯re doing is a robbery. It¡¯s against the law!¡±


    Seeing that there was no way for them to get the money, Shen Gang suddenly became stubborn again. Grandma Shen could no longer pretend with the suck-up attitude anymore. She might as well go all out. She sat on the ground and howled at the top of her voice, ¡°Shen Gang, you have no conscience! Once you have money, you don¡¯t acknowledge me as your mother anymore. You agreed to pay for your nephew¡¯s marriage, but you didn¡¯t give it to him. Even when your mother came to your door, you didn¡¯t care! I¡¯ve really given birth to a son for nothing!¡±


    Grandma Shen¡¯s wailing was extremely loud, and not long after, it attracted the attention of the surrounding neighbors. They surrounded the courtyard wall and pointed,


    ¡°This Grandma Shen is here to ask for money from her son again. I heard that it¡¯s a whole fourteen thousand dollars!¡±


    ¡°Ah? That much money? Didn¡¯t Shen Gang¡¯s family not have much money? Why are they asking for such an exorbitant price!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. I heard that Shen Shu is getting married, and he wants his uncle to pay for his wife and wedding!¡±


    ¡°Shen Gang still has four daughters to raise. Why would he give money to help his nephew get married?¡±


    The neighbors¡¯ discussion grew louder and louder. Shen Gang felt bad. It was true, he had his own daughters to take care of. Why did he have to raise his brother¡¯s son? It was not like Shen Shu had no parents!


    Moreover, he might not even be part of their family!


    Looking at Grandma Shen, who was kicking up a fuss on the ground, and Shen Shu, who was fat and short, with squinted eyes and a flat nose, Shen Gang realized for the first time that he looked completely different from his family!


    Shen Gang then looked at his daughter Shen Wan and Shen Miao, they were really like his own.


    After all, she had inherited his high nose bridge, thick eyebrows, and his wife Deng Ying¡¯s big eyes and good skin. Each of them was more beautiful and fresh than the other!


    How did such an ugly duckling give birth to a beautiful white swan?


    Hence, Shen Gang¡¯s belief in the fact that he wasn¡¯t Grandma Shen¡¯s biological son increased by another level.


    Seeing that Grandma Shen was crying and making a fuss, Shen Shu stood at the side and criticized Shen Gang¡¯s family for not respecting the elderly. Deng Ying, who was standing at the side and did not dare to speak, quickly called Shen Miao over and each of them took a bench, thinking to comfort these two people and not let them lose face outside.


    However, while Deng Ying was trying to get the old lady to sit down, Shen Miao was slapped by Shen Shu.

 Chapter 8

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Shen Shu¡¯s face was full of anger. He was furious when he saw Shen Gang¡¯s useless daughter. He thought that they were the ones who had ruined his plan of getting married. He growled in a low voice, ¡°Get lost!¡±


    This slap stunned everyone present. No one had expected that Shen Shu would hit a 10-year-old girl in a fit of anger.


    However, the one who reacted even faster was Shen Wan. Just as Shen Shu hit Shen Miao, Shen Wan picked up the metal stick that was used to start the fire and drove it toward his head, ¡°How dare you hit my younger sister!¡±


    She ruthlessly smacked Shen Shu¡¯s head, causing him to fall to the ground. Then, she lifted her leg and kicked him a few times, causing Shen Shu to cry even louder than Grandma Shen.


    Everyone jumped in shock at Shen Wan¡¯s movements. Immediately after, Deng Ying, Shen Gang, and Grandma Shen rushed up to pull her back.


    Deng Ying and Shen Gang were afraid that something would happen if Shen Wan beat the person badly, while Grandma Shen was eager to make the matter big so that she could use this opportunity to extort money from Shen Gang. She pretended to stop the fight, but in reality, she screamed, ¡°Murder! She¡¯s killing people!¡±


    This reminded Shen Wan of where she was. Only now did she remember that this was not a magical world where strength was respected, but a modern society where one had to go to jail for killing and give compensation for injuries.


    She hurriedly held back a portion of her strength and chose to hit the areas where the wound could not be seen but would cause great pain.


    In fact, Shen Wan had even secretly cast a few spells on Shen Shu that would not harm his life. They were silent and would only act up a few months later. They would not be able to blame her, and when the injuries acted up, Shen Shu¡¯s entire body would be covered in sores and pus. It was guaranteed that he would not be able to marry a wife for the rest of his life!


    In the chaos, Shen Wan even took the opportunity to kick Grandma Shen a few times until Grandma Shen could not get up and no longer had the strength to scream.


    When the storm finally calmed down, Shen Shu was already lying on the ground in pain, crying with tears and snot all over the floor. Grandma Shen was sitting against the wall, holding her waist and panting.


    Coming back to her senses, Grandma Shen looked at Shen Shu, who had been beaten so badly by Shen Wan that it was unbearable to look at, and started to wail like a pig being slaughtered. ¡°How dare you hit my grandson! You have to compensate us for this! He looks like he¡¯s in so much pain, hurry up and send him to the hospital!¡±


    Shen Gang frowned. He looked suspiciously at Shen Shu on the ground. Even though Shen Wan¡¯s strength was a little strong, it definitely wasn¡¯t to the extent that she could casually beat an adult to tears, right?


    He argued, ¡°My Shen Wan only has so much strength, how could she beat someone up so much till they need to go to the hospital! Shen Shu, stop pretending!¡±


    The surrounding neighbors were also used to Grandma Shen¡¯s usual unreasonable behavior. They were more or less unhappy and resentful in their hearts, so they also helped to speak up.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Shen Wan has always been soft and weak. What strength can she muster to hit someone that badly?!¡±


    ¡°This young lady usually speaks softly. Today, she suddenly hit someone in the name of self-defense. Isn¡¯t it because Shen Shu hit her sister indiscriminately?¡±


    ¡°Well said! Even a rabbit would bite when forced into a corner! Shen Shu was the one who bullied Shen Miao first, you should be the ones apologizing!¡±


    ¡°Being beaten to the ground by a little girl, aren¡¯t you embarrassed to be in that position?¡±


    The ridicule and taunting from the surroundings were endless. No matter how thick-skinned Grandma Shen was, she couldn¡¯t stand it any longer. However, when she thought about how she had come to Shen Gang to ask for money, she couldn¡¯t leave empty-handed, so she gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Then she¡­ She even hit me!¡±


    As she spoke, Grandma Shen hurriedly lifted up her cotton-padded jacket and found the place that was still burning in pain from Shen Wan¡¯s vicious kick. She pointed and said, ¡°Guys, look! This black-hearted girl even dared to kick her grandmother! My waist was almost broken by her kick!¡±


    However, when everyone looked at Grandma Shen¡¯s clothes, they only saw a piece of undamaged dry skin. There were no traces of Shen Wan kicking her.


    It was obvious that Grandma Shen was deliberately extorting money, and the crowd immediately booed.


    Shen Wan¡¯s lips curved into a smile, and a hint of slyness flashed in her eyes. She walked with large strides to Shen Shu, who was lying on the ground and crying. She reached out and lifted his shirt. At the same time, she said to the people around her, ¡°Heh, if you want my family to compensate you, you have to at least have some evidence! You said that I hit him, but I was just playing with him. I didn¡¯t hurt him! Everyone, please take a look. Where are the wounds on his body?¡±


    Everyone stuck their heads out to take a look. It was just as expected!


    Other than the fat on Shen Shu¡¯s upper body, there were no red marks at all. No one could tell that he got beaten by a girl!


    The little girl was so gentle, but Shen Shu could still lie on the ground and cry. It was such an embarrassing sight to see!


    Seeing Shen Shu¡¯s comical appearance, many people started to laugh as if Shen Wan had just told a joke.

 Chapter 9

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Seeing that the shameless Grandma Shen and Shen Shu had suffered a loss, the originally red-faced and teary-looking Shen Miao also laughed. Shen Wan¡¯s heart ached and she could only rub her little head to comfort her.


    Deng Ying, who had been so scared that she did not know what to do, also calmed down. She had never thought that Shen Wan could be so powerful and bold. She had beaten Shen Shu to the ground in two or three moves and even resolved a problem.


    Having a daughter was not inferior to having a son at all. She could hold up half the sky. This made her feel a lot less confused about the future.


    Shen Shu, who was lying on the ground in so much pain that he could not move, wanted to cry but had no tears. He had not expected that he would be beaten by a little girl until he could not fight back. He only felt that every time Shen Wan hit him, it was as if it weighed a thousand pounds. However, why was there no trace of a wound?


    The discussions around him grew louder, and Shen Shu felt like a monkey in a circus. If he could move at this moment, he would have crawled away even if he had to.


    Just as everyone was having a good laugh, a big man suddenly rushed in and shouted. Once he saw Shen Shu and Grandma Shen, he started to howl, ¡°Son! Mom!¡±


    This chubby man was Shen Wan¡¯s eldest uncle, Shen Gang¡¯s fake good big brother, Shen Qiang.


    Shen Qiang was waiting at home for the two of them to bring the money back, but he didn¡¯t see them for a long time, so he came all the way here. Who knew that as soon as he entered the door, he would see his mother and son lying on the ground, looking very miserable¡­


    Shen Qiang was a self-proclaimed big brother and usually ordered his little brother around.


    When he found out that it was actually Shen Gang¡¯s third daughter, Shen Wan, who had personally his son. Shen Qiang raised his hand to slap her without thinking. ¡°You little sl*t, how dare you hit them?!¡±


    Shen Wan naturally would not let him have his way. Her body dodged and she landed a kick on his shin. She cursed, ¡°Keep your mouth clean! You¡¯re all a bunch of rascals, why wouldn¡¯t I?¡±


    Shen Qiang was kicked so hard by Shen Wan that he fell on his butt and almost sat on Shen Shu, who was crying on the ground.


    Shen Qiang forced himself to get up. His eyes turned vicious as he was about to rush up and teach Shen Wan a lesson, but Shen Gang quickly blocked the path to his daughter.


    Shen Gang¡¯s face was gloomy. Today, he had seen the true colors of his fake family. He was completely disappointed. In the end, Shen Qiang came over and looked down on him.


    ¡°Brother,¡± Shen Gang chuckled. ¡°Are you seriously going to hit my daughter in front of me? What¡¯s the meaning of this?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m helping you to educate your daughter! Brother, you have a daughter who would beat people up. Our entire family will be shamed because of you!¡± Shen Qiang was so angry that his veins were bulging.


    It was clearly Shen Shu who had started the fight, and Grandma Shen was the one who extorted him, so how did it become Shen Wan¡¯s fault for beating people up?


    No matter how confused he was, Shen Gang knew that he had to speak up for his daughter.


    So he imitated what Shen Wan had said just now and said, ¡°When did my Shen Wan hit people? She was just playing around! If you don¡¯t believe me, take a look at your son¡¯s body. Is there even a single wound on his body? He was the one who pretended to extort money from us in the first place!¡±


    She was just playing around, but she managed to beat Shen Shu and Shen Qiang to the ground twice in a row.


    At first, the neighbors thought that Shen Shu was pretending to be pitiful, but when they saw Shen Wan¡¯s kick that sent Shen Qiang flying, they lost their confidence and even started to doubt their previous words.


    When it came to money, Shen Gang, who had always been a spendthrift, had a stomach full of complaints. ¡°What have I not helped your family with? I¡¯ve always treated you as family, but what did you do today? You come to my house to ask for money and even dare hit my daughter. You¡¯re not family, you¡¯re all clearly robbers!¡±


    Shen Qiang did not expect his obedient brother to say such harsh words.


    He was so angry that his face turned red. He couldn¡¯t think of any reasonable words to say. In the end, he could only point at Shen Gang with a trembling finger and ask, ¡°What do you mean by that? Are you going to break off your ties with us?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve never treated me as family anyway!¡± Shen Gang leaned on his walking stick, but his body was straight. He felt that this might be the manliest and toughest time in his life. His eyes were fiery red.


    ¡°Enough! Enough! Now that things had come to this, how can we call each other family? How can you call each other brothers? Oh my gosh!¡± When Grandma Shen saw that the atmosphere between the two brothers was not right, she quickly raised her voice and howled to divert everyone¡¯s attention.

 Chapter 10

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°Why, of why is this happening? I gave you food and shelter and this is what you give in return! Why is the world so cruel!¡± Of course, Shen Wan would not allow Grandma Shen to continue bawling. She took a large broom and waved it to chase her away.


    Now that things had come to this, Shen Qiang and Grandma Shen did not know whether to leave or not.


    At that moment, Shen Shu, who was on the verge of death, finally gathered enough strength to cry, ¡°Dad, it hurts! Quickly take me to the hospital!¡±


    Shen Qiang took a closer look. Although there were no wounds on his son¡¯s body, he looked like he was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely and trembling all over. Shen Qiang was shocked and did not dare to delay any longer. He hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯ll have to send Shen Shu to the hospital first! I¡¯ll settle the score with you guys when I come back!¡±


    Shen Qiang and Shen Shu immediately left, and Grandma Shen was also preparing to leave. Just as she ran to the entrance of the small courtyard, she seemed to have thought of something and threatened fiercely, ¡°Shen Gang! If you don¡¯t apologize to your brother and me today, I will never acknowledge you as my son again!¡±


    ¡°Good! Now you admit it! If you dare to come to our house and cause trouble again, I¡¯ll beat you up. You come can come in walking but I¡¯ll make sure you¡¯ll crawl when you leave!¡± Shen Wan held the broom and chased her to the door. She cursed loudly as she saw her old lady¡¯s back as she fled.


    The neighbors realized that the drama died down, so they left one after another.


    After finally chasing away the annoying flies, Shen Wan patted her hands and looked at Shen Gang, who had a complicated expression. He looked like he was still processing the whole event. She intentionally provoked him and said, ¡°Dad, it¡¯s really possible that you¡¯re not Grandpa and Grandma¡¯s biological son. Otherwise, why would they be so biased towards uncle¡¯s family and always want to embezzle and oppress our family?¡±


    Shen Gang had a thoughtful expression on his face. After what happened today and last night¡¯s dream, Shen Gang was 80% convinced that he was not the biological son of Grandpa and Grandma Shen.


    ¡°We do have to investigate this matter. What¡¯s the thing in the city that can check whether or not I¡¯m their biological child called?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s called DNA paternity testing! The hospital in the city can do it. Why? Do you want to do it?¡± Shen Wan was very satisfied with the current development. Her blockheaded father was finally opening his eyes. She was happy inside, but she still pretended to be very surprised.


    ¡°Yes, I have to check it out.¡±


    Shen Gang took a puff of smoke and sized up Shen Wan, who was rolling up her sleeves to go fetch water from the well. He couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Shen Wan, why were you so bold today?¡±


    In his memory, his third daughter had the personality of a timid rabbit. She was the kind of person who would be scared to bits with a few roars! Today, she actually displayed her divine might in front of so many people, which helped this family a lot.


    What Shen Gang did not know was that the current Shen Wan was no longer the Shen Wan of the past. She was someone who had survived a dangerous and magical world. The small fights and quarrels of these villagers were not life-threatening enough in her eyes.


    ¡°That family is always bullying us. If there¡¯s no one in the family who can take care of it, wouldn¡¯t it be over for us? Even if you¡¯re not bold, you have to force yourself to be bold!¡± Shen Wan unconcernedly wiped the thin sweat on her forehead and casually replied.


    However, these words did not sound good in Shen Gang¡¯s ears. As a father, he was supposed to be the head of the family. Yet, he forced a quiet little girl to stand up for the family. It really made him feel ashamed!


    Shen Gang felt an inexplicable sense of guilt in his heart. After holding it in for a long time, he only muttered, ¡°If only Shen Wan was a boy¡­ Our family wouldn¡¯t have been so easily bullied.¡±


    When Deng Ying, who was picking vegetables by the side, heard this, she subconsciously touched her shriveled belly. She did not dare to make a sound and felt extremely bitter in her heart.


    Shen Wan¡¯s hearing was extremely good. She just happened to be carrying two buckets of water when she heard it. Hearing Shen Gang¡¯s mumbling, she frowned and instantly became angry. ¡°Why must I be a man?¡±


    She threw the two buckets full of well water on the ground. Shen Wan stared at the dejected Shen Gang with her hands on her waist and said loudly, ¡°I am indeed not the son that you want, but I, Shen Wan, will always keep my word. There is nothing that I can¡¯t accomplish. I will be better than two men. I can promise you that as long as you live in this family, I, Shen Wan, will have a proper status when I come of age. I will find a husband who will marry into the family, and my children will have the surname Shen. You will also have a successor, and I will take care of you in your old age!¡±


    Without a son to support his family and no one to take care of him in his old age, this had always been what Shen Gang was most worried about.

 Chapter 11

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    When Shen Gang saw his daughter, Shen Wan, standing in front of him in an aggressive manner, loudly telling him that she would take care of him when he was old and send him off to his death, Shen Gang inexplicably felt that every word this girl said was not a joke and was the truth.


    As long as he took care of the family well, lead a good life with his wife and daughters, and treated them well, his daughters would be filial to him when he was old and take care of him in his old age. There was no problem!


    The heavy stone in his heart was finally put down. Shen Gang¡¯s attitude became more and more energetic as if he was overjoyed. He smoked and repeated subconsciously, ¡°Okay, okay, I have a daughter to take care of me when I¡¯m old, I have a daughter that will¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve already said that our four daughters are all smart, sensible, filial, and well-behaved children. They¡¯re not worse than other families¡¯ sons. Ever since you lost your job, all of the family¡¯s expenses have been paid for by Shen Xin and Shen Yu, who have been working diligently outside. A few days ago, they even called to ask about your situation and asked you to take care of your legs. Isn¡¯t this much better than those wolves, tigers, and leopards who only know how to ask for money and cheat people? You have good daughters and you don¡¯t cherish them¡­¡±


    Deng Ying had been holding this in for the longest time. Now that Shen Gang had let go of his obsession, she could not hold back her tears anymore. She sobbed while she spoke as if she wanted to pour out all the hardships in her life.


    Shen Gang listened silently and nodded from time to time to show his agreement. When Deng Ying finally finished what she wanted to say, Shen Gang coughed to clear his throat and said seriously, ¡°Deng Ying, I finally see that I¡¯ve been living the past forty years of my life in a muddled and disgraceful way. From today onwards, I¡¯m going to live well for our family¡­¡±


    Far away from the scene of the small courtyard where they were sharing their thoughts, Shen Wan carried a bamboo basket, a sickle, and a hemp rope and left the house.


    After eating a few meals without any meat, Shen Wan was already craving meat. She and Shen Miao were both in the period of growth and if they did not have enough nutrition, it would affect the development of the body. She had to think of ways to get some meat to eat.


    Although every family in the countryside would raise some chickens, ducks, pigs, and so on to provide for their daily meat, their family originally raised two sows, but before the pigs could grow up, they were taken away by Grandma Shen. Therefore, they could only rely on themselves to take what they can get.


    Shen Wan¡¯s destination was the mountain behind the village. She was extremely strong and had magic, so it would not be a problem for her to hunt some prey and bring it home.


    Just as she was thinking this, Shen Wan seemed to see a white figure in the nearby thicket, as if it was¡­ A rabbit?


    Rabbit meat for dinner was not bad. Shen Wan did not have any tools with her, so she tried to use magic to attack the rabbit.


    However, when she was casting the spell, she felt an inexplicable warmth in her chest, as if there was a thin layer of obstruction. Although she could cast the spell smoothly, she always felt that she was bound by a layer of restraint.


    Shen Wan did not take it to heart. She thought that this was a normal physical reaction in this place where the magic aura was thin. When she once again circulated her magic to attack the rabbit that was about to run far away, she felt her body become light as she dazzled brightly.


    Her feet suddenly stepped on soft grass, not the sticky mud road of the small village. Looking at the sudden change in the surrounding scenery, Shen Wan was first dazed and then looked around.


    There was a lush forest and bamboo forest beside her, and there were tall mountains in the distance. After a closer look, there were also birds and beasts. It was like a small world, and the magic power here was also extremely abundant.


    Where was she now?


    Shen Wan was greatly shocked. If she used her magic and actually returned to the wondrous world, she would really regret it to death!


    This sudden change frightened Shen Wan so much that she quickly mimicked her previous actions and started to channel her magic again. Fortunately, the warm feeling in her chest once again produced a white light. She then once again returned to the place where she had seen the rabbit, but the rabbit had already run far away.


    A light bulb went off in her head. Could it be that there was something on her chest that could teleport her to places?


    Shen Wan took off a few of her clothes and was instantly shocked.


    She saw a strange green mark on her fair chest! Shen Wan focused her eyes. When had someone drawn a vivid spring water on her chest?

 Chapter 12

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Besides, this spring water mark was apparently full of magic power. The heat and slight hindrance just now came from this mark. It didn¡¯t mean any harm to her, and even gave her an inexplicable sense of calmness and peace.


    Without thinking, Shen Wan reached out to touch the spring water mark on her chest and used magic to move it around. As expected, a warm current spread through her body. After a moment of white light, Shen Wan had returned to the new space she had been in!


    This sudden change in position caused Shen Wan to think of her time in the wondrous world.


    When one¡¯s magic was cultivated to a high level, one could open up a small space on their own. She had bought a storage ring with its own interspace, but it was only about one cubic meter, and could not store much.


    The interspace that had suddenly appeared was similar to the storage ring. It was a separate interspace, but it was much bigger and more developed!


    Could it be that she had used the mark on her chest to enter the interspace that someone else had created?


    Shen Wan lowered her head and carefully examined the mark of the spring water. Suddenly, she thought of something.


    The location of the spring water mark happened to be where she was accidentally hit by the light when she was watching the battle of the big shots in the magical world, and she took that very opportunity to return to this world!


    It seemed that one of the two big shots who were fighting had accidentally planted a mark on her, which allowed her to enter this domain.


    The warm feeling she felt when she used magic came from this mark. No wonder she felt so relaxed when she used her strength. She was borrowing the power of this mark.


    After Shen Wan finished marveling in her heart, she heard the sound of running water not far away. Driven by curiosity, Shen Yue pushed aside a small tree in front of her and followed the direction of the sound of water.


    After walking for a while, Shen Wan finally saw that the sound of water was not from a small stream, but from a pool of extremely clear spring water. The spring on the mountain continuously released running water that poured into the bottom of the pond that flowed over pebbles. Under the sunlight, the surface of the water still glowed with a dazzling light.


    Above the spring, there were a few trees with pink flowers. When the wind blew, the pink petals would fall. It was extremely romantic and beautiful.


    As someone who had stayed in the wondrous world, Shen Wan could see with a glance that these trees were flowering trees called Moon God. The petals had the effects of maintaining one¡¯s beauty and calming one¡¯s mind. The medicinal effects were warm and safe. They were extremely useful for nursing one¡¯s body. Usually, at the auction, they would be sold by the piece!


    There was always a high demand for this supply, causing the prices to skyrocket!


    In this space, there were four of them! Shen Wan was overjoyed and wanted to move the Moon Dod flower trees back home right now.


    Seeing that the spring water was so clear that the bottom could be seen, she bent down and scooped a handful of water from the pool. She found that the water was flowing with magic power.


    ¡°Is anyone there? Is there anyone here?¡± Shen Wan searched around and shouted a few times, but no one responded.


    After confirming that there were no other living people other than her, Shen Wan¡¯s heart relaxed. She put down the basket that she had been carrying on her back the entire time, took off her old school uniform, and placed it on a large rock. Only then did she slowly step into the spring water, preparing to take a bath.


    Her house was in shambles and had to find a nearby river to bathe in. She had to carry a bucket and towel and also had to wash in secret, just to avoid the gaze of other people. It was extremely inconvenient. Because Shen Wan had exercised for an entire day, she was covered in sweat and felt uncomfortable.


    After soaking in the spring water at the right temperature, Shen Wan gave a light sigh of satisfaction. This was really too good!


    From now on, she didn¡¯t have to go to the small river outside to take a bath. She could just go into the private bathtub in the interspace. It was so wonderful!


    Just as Shen Wan was happily soaking in the bath, not far away, a consciousness slowly gathered and combined with the magical aura around it to form an illusory human.


    Xu Heng had just recovered some of his consciousness and had just formed his body when he discovered something that shocked him.


    Not far away, in his Moon Shadow Spring, there was a completely naked woman soaking in it!


    The woman¡¯s eyes were slightly squinted, and her eyelashes were long. She had a very satisfied expression and was even humming an unknown song.


    Do not look! Do not look! That is impolite!

 Chapter 13

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Xu Heng was stunned for a second before he realized that he had accidentally seen a woman¡¯s body. He was so embarrassed that he quickly turned his back and tried to calm himself down.


    That was the Moon Shadow Spring that he had especially used for cultivation!


    It was an extremely private and important thing to him! This woman was actually using it to take a bath. That was really¡­ He was so angry!


    However, Xu Heng was just a shadow with only a little consciousness left. After a moment, his consciousness would return to his body in the human world, so he could not do anything to stop this woman.


    At that time, he had fought with an ancient divine beast. He almost defeated the divine beast, but who knew that the cunning divine beast would forcibly break through his restraints at the last moment and rush straight towards an innocent woman on the ground? It wanted to make a last struggle and escape by using its body.


    In order to prevent innocent people from being annihilated because of his mistake, Xu Heng had taken out his life-bound magical treasure, the Moon Shadow Spring space. In a moment of desperation, he forcefully stopped and saved the innocent woman. However, the divine beast¡¯s self-destruction not only triggered his old injuries but also caused him to be unable to resist the punishment of the heavenly Dao that fell upon him after killing the divine beast. His physical body was completely destroyed, leaving only a wisp of divine sense that followed the Moon Shadow Spring space and attached itself to the woman¡¯s body.


    In the Moon Shadow Spring, Shen Wan suddenly opened her eyes. She keenly sensed that there seemed to be a gaze silently watching her.


    ¡°Who is it?¡±


    Shen Wan turned around and saw an illusionary figure of a man in the air not far away. He was tall and had long hair. No one knew how long he had been there.


    Had this person been here all along? Shen Wan¡¯s eyes widened slightly. When she had taken off her clothes and bathed, did this man see everything?


    ¡°You hooligan! You¡¯re shameless!¡± Shen Wan was both embarrassed and angry. Without thinking, she directly activated her magic, creating a large, tough net that quickly covered the man.


    This kind of hooligan who peeked at a girl bathing obviously had to be caught. She would then deal with this stinky hooligan who took advantage of her!


    However, the moment Shen Wan¡¯s magic touched the man, it was immediately dispelled, turning into dust and dissipating.


    Was this man so powerful? How could he easily dispel her magic? Shen Wan¡¯s eyes widened. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation.


    Xu Heng took on a human form with great difficulty. He only took a quick glance and quickly avoided arousing suspicion. However, the woman misunderstood him as a peeping tom and a pervert. He quickly explained, ¡°I¡¯m not a hooligan! This is clearly where I cultivate. You, you¡­¡±


    Hearing the sound of the woman behind him tidying up her clothes, Xu Heng thought of the erotic scene just now and became even more nervous, even stammering a little.


    If he wasn¡¯t a spirit but a living person, his face and ears would be red.


    ¡°This is where you cultivate?¡± Shen Wan finally finished putting on her clothes. She felt much more confident and repeated the man¡¯s words. Even though she might not be able to beat him, she could still be reasonable.


    Wait, a place for cultivation? After receiving this information, the clues and questions in Shen Wan¡¯s mind instantly connected.


    Could it be that this man was the big shot who sent her back to the modern world and planted a mark on her body to let her enter this interspace?


    This was her great benefactor! When Shen Wan understood the situation, the shyness, and awkwardness that she mistakenly thought she had been seen completely disappeared.


    She was eager to express her gratitude to the benefactor, and she had a lot of questions to ask about her rebirth!


    However, Shen Wan had only thought for a moment when the figure of the big shot became much fainter. Just looking at him made her feel that his state was not right, as if he could disappear at any moment.


    Xu Heng saw Shen Wan¡¯s worried and confused expression and wanted to say something to her, but he could already feel the strong attraction of his body in the mortal world to his spiritual sense. It was difficult for him to maintain his current state. He could only force himself to say to Shen Wan, ¡°Just you wait, I¡¯ll come back for you¡­¡±


    However, before Xu Heng could finish his words, his figure faded into the air and disappeared.


    ¡°What? Please finish your words, sir! Where did he go? Hey, are you still there?!¡± Shen Wan became anxious.


    What was the guy not done with? Did he tell her to wait for him? What was he going to do next? Shen Wan looked at the empty place where the figure had disappeared and was stunned.


    The guy actually disappeared halfway through his sentence, and he looked like he was anticipating something bad to happen! Did something bad happen? Shen Wan started to feel uneasy.

 Chapter 14

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    She had been reborn with the help of this guy¡¯s power. Would she suddenly disappear from the house like him too? What about her family and her revenge?


    The more she thought about it, the more she felt unsafe. Shen Wan did not have the mood to continue bathing. After she washed clean, she came out of the spring water. She washed her clothes in the spring water and used a little magic to dry them. Only then did she tidy up. With a thought, she came out of the interspace.


    Seeing that she was still standing beside the small forest when she came out and had not been brought back to the wondrous world, Shen Wan finally released a breath.


    Even though he had disappeared, he had left her an area where she could come and go as she pleased. The interspace was filled with beautiful mountains, and clear waters, and was full of treasures. Shen Wan was already very content.


    With another thought, Shen Wan once again returned to the interspace.


    After walking around, she found that there were many birds that looked like chickens living in the bamboo forest in this space, and every one of them was very fat. She caught three of them and carried them out of the interspace.


    When she thought about how she would be able to have a feast of meat when she returned, Shen Wan¡¯s mood became very good. She even picked up quite a bit of firewood on the way back and carried her prey back home.


    Just as Shen Wan walked all the way to the West side of the village, a middle-aged man who was squatting under the roof and smoking called out to her, ¡°Who¡¯s that, Shen Wan! Stop right there.¡±


    Shen Wan raised her head to look and instantly recognized the middle-aged man.


    His name was Li Nian, a so-called fake good friend of her father. From time to time, he would come to the Shen family to make a living. He would especially gossip in front of Shen Gang, saying things like daughters are useless and how sons are more useful.


    Moreover, Li Nian said that he treated Shen Gang as a good friend, but in reality, he couldn¡¯t bear to see his family living a good life. He often fanned the flames and caused trouble whenever he could.


    Shen Wan remembered that Li Nian had caused half of the Shen family¡¯s suffering in the past.


    If there was a grudge, it had to be avenged. Shen Wan had always held grudges, so she was not prepared to let this old b*stard off. However, she would use a reasonable method of revenge that could not be blamed on her.


    ¡°Hello, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Seeing Li Nian step in front of her, Shen Wan¡¯s face turned cold and she did not give him a good look.


    ¡°Where did you get the good stuff? This chicken looks quite big, so it must taste good. Let me take a look.¡± Li Nian¡¯s gaze had been on the three fat chickens in Shen Wan¡¯s hands.


    These three chickens were twice the size of the chickens raised in the village. Their feathers were beautiful and he drooled just by looking at them.


    With one look, Shen Wan knew that this greedy Li Nian was coveting her three chickens. She immediately had a plan.


    Her fingers moved and Shen Wan cast a little magic on the three chickens.


    As this was not a chicken from an ordinary world, but a chicken that had grown up in the guy¡¯s interspace, its intelligence was much higher. The magic that Shen Yu had cast was to make the chicken listen to her obediently.


    ¡°I caught some wild chickens at the back of the mountain. There are still a lot of chickens there. I couldn¡¯t catch the bigger ones, so I can only catch the small ones.¡± Shen Wan ignored Li Nian¡¯s request to see the chicken and continued to speak.


    Such a big chicken was actually considered small in the chicken herd? Li Nian was overjoyed when he heard this.


    He didn¡¯t know where the third girl of the Shen family got her luck from, but she actually managed to hit three of them!


    Li Nian thought about it and decided that he didn¡¯t care anymore. The meat was right in front of his eyes, so how could he not eat it? He had to snatch the chicken from the hands of the Shen family¡¯s girl!


    ¡°You already have three chickens. You can¡¯t finish them. Why don¡¯t you give me two to try?¡± Li Nian said with a cheeky smile. Without Shen Wan¡¯s permission, he directly reached out to grab the chicken from her hands.


    This Li Nian saw that there was no one nearby, so he revealed his ferocity and wanted to shamelessly snatch Shen Wan¡¯s chicken!


    This just happened to follow Shen Wan¡¯s wishes. She laughed inside, but pretended to be panicked on the surface and said, ¡°Oh no! This is from me! Oh, my chicken!¡±


    Just as Li Nian snatched the chickens from Shen Wan¡¯s hands, the three chickens suddenly started to struggle. They were extremely strong and actually managed to escape from Li Nian¡¯s hands.


    ¡°Don¡¯t run! Don¡¯t run!¡± Li Nian hurriedly went to catch the chickens, but he was unexpectedly pecked by the chickens, who suddenly became fierce. He grimaced in pain. ¡°It hurts!¡±


    ¡°My chicken ran away, what should we do!¡± Shen Wan stood calmly at the side, but she pretended to be panicked as she urged Li Nian.

 Chapter 15

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°Stop shouting! This isn¡¯t your chicken, it¡¯s clearly a wild chicken. Don¡¯t be a hindrance and go home!¡± Li Nian instantly became fierce as he berated Shen Wan.


    However, he couldn¡¯t catch the chickens himself. He was so anxious that he was sweating. He lowered his head and bent his waist to catch them everywhere. However, the three chickens were intelligent. Not only did they peck at him from time to time, but they also learned to attack him.


    ¡°Ouch, ouch, it hurts! Don¡¯t peck me!¡±


    After a short while, Li Nian¡¯s hands and legs were full of small bloody holes from the wild chickens¡¯ hard pecks. Their mouths were extremely sharp, and with one peck, they directly took a small piece of Li Nian¡¯s meat.


    In the end, it turned out to be three pheasants chasing Li Nian. Li Nian was so scared that he cursed, ¡°You bunch of b*stards, you dare to bully me, just you wait! I¡¯m going to destroy your nest tomorrow!¡±


    The sun finally set. Shen Wan sat on a small rock by the river and waited for a while. As expected, the three chickens came back in a line, swaggering around. They must have caused Li Nian quite a bit of damage.


    Once again using the rope to tie up three chickens, Shen Wan hummed a song and returned home.


    When they returned home, Shen Wan handed the three chickens to Deng Ying and said with a smile, ¡°Mom, this is the wild chicken I caught from the back of the mountain. Make more delicious food tonight!¡±


    As soon as Deng Ying took the three chickens, her wrist felt heavy. She could not help but be shocked by the weight. He said in surprise, ¡°Why is this chicken so heavy? Three of them are at least 8 kilograms!¡±


    Shen Gang, who was walking in the yard, also saw the chicken that Shen Wan had brought back. His expression was also very surprised. ¡°You caught all these?¡±


    He had never thought that his daughter would actually know how to hunt and had even caught three such fat chickens!


    A daughter who could do housework and hunt to make up for her family¡¯s expenses, wouldn¡¯t the neighbors be envious if they knew about it?


    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s a good year this year. When I went up the mountain, I found quite a lot of animals. I¡¯ll catch more next time.¡± Shen Wan said calmly as she put down the basket full of firewood.


    In fact, she even saw a few fat wild boars running happily in the interspace treasure land!


    She was worried that the wild boar was too big and would attract too much attention if she carried it back directly, so she chose this animal that looked like a chicken. She didn¡¯t expect that she would still be stopped by someone familiar.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s have a lot of meat today!¡± When Shen Gang thought about how his daughter would be able to bring prey home next time, he suddenly felt very happy and smiled.


    Deng Ying was also very happy. Only God knew how long her family had not eaten meat for a long time!


    Initially, in order to save money for Shen Shu¡¯s marriage, Shen Gang did not even buy New Year¡¯s goods for this year. However, now that Shen Gang had thought it through, he could go to the city to buy some New Year¡¯s goods in a few days and have a good New Year with his family.


    Deng Ying deftly tidied up the three fat chickens and hung two of them on the kitchen beam. She took the fattest chicken and cut it into two. One half was steamed and the other half was braised. The chicken was big enough for the family of four to eat until they were full.


    The delicious food was quickly served. As soon as the lid was lifted, everyone sitting at the table could smell an extremely fragrant smell. Looking at the chicken in the bowl, it was white, tender, and fresh, looking extremely delicious.


    ¡°Wow! This was the chicken that Shen Wan had caught. You¡¯re amazing! The chicken is so fragrant!¡± When she saw that there was so much chicken for dinner, Shen Miao¡¯s eyes lit up and her mouth was wide open in worship.


    ¡°Come on, it¡¯s not like you haven¡¯t eaten meat before! Who are you putting on that face for!¡± Shen Gang looked at his daughter¡¯s excited and happy expression because she had meat to eat. He felt guilty. Has he never bought her meat before?


    However, Shen Gang remembered that it was Shen Wan who had brought the chicken back and had credit for it, so he gave Shen Wan and Shen Miao a large chicken leg each and said with a stiff expression, ¡°Don¡¯t fight! No one will fight with you, eat slowly!¡±


    Shen Gang¡¯s actions surprised Deng Ying and Shen Wan. The two of them looked at each other and found it strange.


    Usually, Shen Gang would eat as soon as the dishes were served. He would never care if the other people in the family wanted to eat. Now, he was willing to share the meat with his two daughters. Did he find his conscience or did he change?


    Perhaps he sensed that his daughter could bring him hope, so he wanted to treat her better in exchange for someone to take care of him for the rest of his life! As Shen Wan thought, she took a bite of the chicken in her bowl.

 Chapter 16

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    As soon as she took a bite, she felt that this chicken was very different from ordinary chicken. Not only was it juicy, but it also tasted very fresh. It was full of juice and very delicious. There was no need for seasoning at all, and it was already very delicious.


    The other members of the Shen family also realized the extraordinariness of the chicken. Their eyes lit up, and they didn¡¯t delay their meal any longer. They buried their heads and focused on enjoying the chicken.


    After eating and drinking their fill, the family of four sat on the chairs in satisfaction to digest the food. Shen Gang flossed his teeth and burped. He had never eaten so much before. The more he looked at Shen Wan, the more pleasing she was to the eye.


    He had never expected that the most delicious chicken he had ever eaten in his life would be from his daughter, whom he had never thought much of! Shen Gang¡¯s heart was filled with emotions.


    Meanwhile, Shen Wan thought of other things.


    After she finished eating the chicken, even though she was very full, her stomach did not feel uncomfortable at all. After eating, she did not feel tired like usual but was full of energy.


    Since this chicken-like animal came out of the interspace, it must be an extremely precious species. A chicken had more than ten times the nutrition of ordinary chickens raised in the countryside.


    There were so many rare animals and plants in the interspace, and she could make good use of them. Even magic grass was something that couldn¡¯t be bought with money in this era. Wasn¡¯t this a great opportunity to make money?


    For example, since there were so many fat chickens in the bamboo forest in the interspace, she could pick a few strong male chickens and crossbreed them with the chickens raised in the countryside. The offspring could be sold, which would have the taste of the chicken and reduce a lot of risks.


    As long as she was willing to think of a way, then earning money was not a difficult thing for Shen Wan. The most difficult thing was just taking the first step. When she thought of her future happy life, Shen Wan was filled with confidence and unconsciously fell asleep.


    Early the next morning, Shen Wan carried the large basket on her back and called out to her family, ¡°Mom, Dad, I¡¯m going to the mountains and hunt a wild boar for you to eat! Prepare some hot water and wait for me!¡±


    In reality, when Shen Wan left the village and walked to a secluded area with no one around, she quietly entered the interspace.


    Once she entered the interspace, Shen Wan ran straight for the spring water. Ever since she had experienced the feeling of bathing in the spring water, she could not get used to the simple and crude conditions of the house. She would rather endure for an entire night and find an opportunity to enter the interspace to bathe.


    After her bath, Shen Wan leisurely walked through the surrounding forest. What surprised her was that the various animals in the forest did not seem to be afraid of her at all. When she came close, the animals would even intimately approach her and lick her hands as if they treated her as their master.


    The wondrous world that Shen Wan had been in was vast and had all kinds of strange plants and animals. Even Shen Wan could only recognize a small portion of the plants and animals that the guy had kept in the interspace.


    To be careful, Shen Wan only beat up a white and fat-looking animal that looked like a wild boar. After tying it up, she threw it into a large basket and brought it out.


    Since she had already caught the wild boar, Shen Wan took a long detour and slowly walked back from the back of the mountain in the village, treating it as a short exercise.


    Just as she was about to reach the entrance of the village, she suddenly saw a group of men and women from the village carrying something and quickly walking in her direction. Shen Wan moved to the side to make way and saw that this group of people was actually carrying an empty stretcher and some hunting guns and other items.


    Shen Wan was curious. She stopped an aunt at the back of the group and asked, ¡°May I ask what happened? Why is everyone running up the mountain?¡±


    ¡°This morning, Li Nian from the village said that he would go up the mountain to cut firewood,¡± the aunty replied with a sigh. ¡°Later on, someone found Li Nian lying at the bottom of the hill with a shotgun in his arms. Half of his leg was missing! He must have had his leg eaten by a wolf when he went up the mountain in the middle of the night! Li Nian is still unconscious. So Grandpa Liu came back to report the issue, and the villagers are organizing to save him!¡±


    ¡°I see. Then I won¡¯t hold you up from saving him. Be careful!¡± Shen Wan understood and nodded obediently as she smiled at the aunt.


    Shen Wan¡¯s voice was sweet and her appearance was well-behaved and cute. The aunt immediately had a good impression of her. She carefully examined her. High nose bridge, snow white skin, didn¡¯t she look like the cripple Shen Gang who lived in the village? ¡°You¡¯re Shen Gang¡¯s daughter, right? Why did you come out from the back mountain so early in the morning?¡±


    ¡°Well, I went to the back mountain to hunt a wild boar. I¡¯m going to bring it home for my family to eat!¡± Shen Wan graciously took down the wild boar on her back and showed it to the aunt.

 Chapter 17

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Seeing such a huge wild boar, the aunty was shocked. Then, she praised the girl, ¡°You¡¯re a good girl! Shen Gang must be really lucky to have such a big wild boar by himself! You have to be careful when you go up the mountain. Don¡¯t go up with a gun like Li Nian. Be careful of the wild wolves in the mountains!¡±


    ¡°Alright! Thank you!¡± Shen Wan hurriedly agreed and waved her hand at the aunt.


    Sure enough, things went as she had expected. Li Nian was a greedy person. Even after he failed to snatch her chicken, he still got greedy. He went into the mountains overnight to take advantage of her, but a wild wolf took one of his legs. Hearing about him was really satisfying!


    Although Deng Ying and Shen Gang were mentally prepared, they were still shocked by the wild boar when they returned home.


    Deng Ying pulled Shen Wan to a corner and checked her entire figure, afraid that Shen Wan had been injured. She touched her chest and said with lingering fear, ¡°I just went out to wash my clothes, and then I heard that Li Nian went hunting in the mountains and got his leg bitten by a wolf. If I had known about this earlier, I wouldn¡¯t have let you go no matter what! It¡¯s a good thing you came back safe and sound!¡±


    Shen Wan knew that Deng Ying¡¯s heart ached for her and was worried about her. She patted Deng Ying¡¯s back and comforted them, ¡°I just heard about this too. Don¡¯t worry, mom. I¡¯ve been to places where there are no wolves. It¡¯ll be fine!¡±


    ¡°No matter how powerful you are, you must be careful! You¡¯ve caught such a big wild boar this time, it¡¯s enough for our family to eat for a while. Don¡¯t go there for a while!¡± Deng Ying¡¯s heart ached, even more, when he saw his daughter¡¯s sensible gaze.


    ¡°Yes, yes!¡± In any case, there were many animals in the interspace, and it was fine for her to change her taste every once in a while, so Shen Wan obediently agreed.


    The tied-up wild boar was thrown to the ground and arched up with all its might, looking very fierce.


    Although the wild boar was not as fat as the domestic pig, it was better in that it was full of lean meat, which was solid and very delicious.


    Looking at Shen Wan sharpening her knife, Shen Gang suddenly sighed. Their family had not slaughtered a pig in many years!


    In the past years, even if there were pigs in the house, they would be taken to Grandma Shen and Shen Qiang in the end. None of his family members had ever had a bite!


    Shen Gang thought to himself that he was really st*pid in the past. He was willing to give, but he did not get anything in return. Fortunately, God pitied him and reminded him in his dream of what may happen. Otherwise, he would not know how long he would be deceived!


    Guilt rose in his heart. Shen Gang took the whetstone and helped Shen Wan sharpen her knife.


    At this moment, there was a sudden clamor outside the courtyard. A man¡¯s rough voice shouted from outside the door, ¡°Shen Gang, Shen Wan, get out here!¡±


    After shouting, the people outside started to pound on the door as if they wanted to smash the old wooden door of the Shen family.


    ¡°Oh no, it must be your big brother¡¯s family looking for trouble! Hurry, let¡¯s hide first¡­¡± When she heard the huge commotion outside, Deng Ying was so scared that her face turned pale, and pulled Shen Wan and Shen Miao to leave.


    Shen Wan¡¯s expression was not good. She waved her hand to stop her nervous mother and said in a low voice, ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re here! I was just worried that they didn¡¯t have enough from yesterday, why should we run? I can solve this!¡±


    As she spoke, Shen Wan strode to the front of the courtyard door and pulled it open.


    The rotten door made a harsh sound, and the person who knocked on the door suddenly lost his balance and fell into the room, almost falling to the ground.


    Shen Wan coldly looked at the group of people who had come to the door. The one who had knocked on the door was a dark and thin man. Behind him stood seven or eight people with dyed hair of various colors. One look and one could tell that they were not decent people.


    Upon closer inspection, Shen Qiang, Grandma Shen, and Grandpa Shen were all hiding behind the crowd, looking shifty.


    The dark and thin man in the lead had not even seen the Shen family and had already lost face. After he quickly stood firm, compared to Shen Wan, who was coldly watching him make fun of him, he instantly felt that his presence was much weaker.


    He simply smashed the ground with his rod and roared, ¡°Shen Wan, if you don¡¯t want the house to be destroyed, then obediently bow and apologize to Shen Shu and pay for his medical expenses!¡±

 Chapter 18

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Shen Shu?


    Shen Wan¡¯s eyes narrowed as she looked. This man with a sharp mouth and a monkey¡¯s cheeks, who else could he be but Chai Jin, who had raped and killed her in her last life? Chai Jin was her uncle¡¯s nephew, and he was the same as Shen Shu, trash!


    Even if this Chai Jin turned into ashes, she would still recognize him!


    Thinking of the despair and hatred of being raped and killed by Chai Jin in her last life, Shen Wan almost instantly felt the desire to kill!


    Her gaze was like a knife as she stared at Chai Jin, wishing she could cut him into a thousand pieces.


    Shen Wan stared at him and ignored his words. Instead, she turned to look at Shen Qiang and the other two who were hiding behind this group of rogues. She said loudly, ¡°Uncle, Grandpa, Grandma! You¡¯ve led this bunch of hooligans to my house to shout about killing. You¡¯re also my relatives, but you¡¯ve been trying to get money from my family, so you can¡¯t wait for my family to die?¡±


    ¡°We¡­ We¡¯re only here to ask for medical fees! You¡¯ve sent Shen Shu to the hospital, so you have to pay for the medical fees!¡± Grandma Shen rolled her eyes and said guiltily.


    Strange, how did this girl become so sharp-tongued? She was the one who started the fight, but she was being talked about as if she was being bullied!


    Grandma Shen knew that she couldn¡¯t win against this girl, so she quickly gave a look to the leader, Chai Jin, telling him that money was more important!


    Being ignored by Shen Wan, Chai Jin felt that he had lost face. His lecherous eyes scanned Shen Wan from head to toe and he walked into the room without any explanation. When he saw the wild boars in the yard, he laughed evilly. ¡°Oh, you still have money to eat pork. Your days are so good! Hurry up and take out all your money, or I¡¯ll smash your house to pieces!¡±


    ¡°Smash it to pieces!¡± The group of hooligans that Chai Jin had brought over made a ruckus and squeezed into the Shen family¡¯s courtyard.


    ¡°I¡¯ll see who dares to move!¡±


    Shen Wan snorted coldly and turned to pick up the butcher¡¯s knife on the table. She pointed the tip of the knife at the noisy hoodlums with a vicious expression.


    These guys thought that her family was full of the old, weak, sick, and disabled, so they wantonly came to bully her. Did they really think that there was no one in her family that could fight back?


    ¡°Dad, Mom, Shen Qiang, what are you doing?¡± Shen Gang, who was in the courtyard, saw Shen Qiang and the other two from the gaps in the crowd. His body stiffened as he gritted his teeth and asked.


    In fact, anyone with eyes could see that these people were here to cause trouble. They were holding sticks, shovels, and hoes. How could they care about the Shen family at all?


    Shen Gang only asked this because he had the last bit of hope for his family.


    ¡°Shen Gang, you disobedient child. Your father and I had no choice but to use this method to make you obedient! Hurry up and take out the money and pay for Shen Shu¡¯s expenses so that he won¡¯t suffer too much!¡± Grandma Shen¡¯s expression was unfriendly and she said coldly.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have money! I¡¯m definitely not giving you money!¡± Shen Gang was so angry that his teeth were itching. He straightened his neck and refused loudly.


    Seeing that Shen Gang had rejected her, everyone¡¯s faces darkened. Shen Wan held back her last bit of temper and warned coldly, ¡°I¡¯ll say this one last time. Our family won¡¯t give you any money, nor do we owe you any money! On the contrary, you guys borrowed money from my father and didn¡¯t return it. You even shamelessly came to our house to rob us?! If you don¡¯t want to die, get out of my house, or you won¡¯t be able to leave!¡±


    ¡°We can¡¯t go back? This little sl*t really knows how to joke around!¡± Chai Jin laughed evilly. He did not take her words to heart. That body was so thin and weak that he could crush it with a pinch.


    He had so many friends with him to back him up. How could he lose to a little girl in high school? If she continued to say such harsh words, wouldn¡¯t she be beaten up until she cried for her parents?


    Today, he brought his friends to help Grandma Shen¡¯s family get back at them and force Shen Gang to hand over the money. Then, he would make this little b*tch, who didn¡¯t know the immensity of heaven and earth, kneel on the ground and lick his shoes!


    Thinking like this, Chai Jin walked in front of the wild boar and kicked it as if he was venting his anger, causing the wild boar to groan. At the same time, he pointed at the boar and cursed, ¡°You¡¯re still shouting! What¡¯s the use of only knowing how to scream? In the end, wouldn¡¯t he still be killed and cooked? It¡¯s better to recognize the facts, quickly accept your fate, and then reincarnate into a good family!¡±

 Chapter 19

    When Deng Ying saw this group of people¡¯s posture, she quickly held Shen Miao in her arms and wanted Shen Wan to hide in the room, ¡°Shen Wan, don¡¯t go head to head with them! If the house is destroyed, then so be it. We¡¯ll call the police to arrest them after¡­¡±


    ¡°Right! You bunch of hooligans are going too far! When the police come, none of you will be able to escape!¡± Shen Gang straightened his neck and said loudly. The hand holding the walking stick was trembling slightly.


    At this moment, although he was extremely afraid, he did not retreat. After they barged into his house twice, even the most cowardly person should have a temper and courage! Furthermore, this group of people was bullying his daughter!


    However, Shen Wan knew that it was useless to call the police.


    First of all, it would take half an hour to drive to the nearest police station in the village. By the time the police arrived to arrest them, most of them would have run away and it would be useless.


    How could a hooligan like Chai Jin, who specialized in breaking and entering, be afraid of the police? When he enters the detention center, it would be as if he had returned home. This group of people was certain that the four members of the Shen family were soft persimmons that could be easily bullied, so they came to their door!


    ¡°Then go ahead and report it. Your family beat my cousin up like that yesterday. When the police come, you¡¯ll have to pay us the money we deserve! ¡°Chai Jin had a disdainful expression as he rubbed his nose and said smugly.


    Shen Wan patted Deng Ying¡¯s hand to comfort her and indicated for them to hide further away. She walked in front of Chai Jin and then raised the butcher knife to stab it into the wild boar¡¯s artery. She said coldly, ¡°Is that so?¡±


    The butcher knife cleanly entered the wild boar¡¯s body, leaving only half of the handle. Then large amounts of blood spurted out, splashing onto Shen Wan and Chai Jin!


    The eye-piercing blood instantly caused the surrounding people to take a step back. Chai Jin wiped the stinky pig blood on his face and cursed, ¡°D*mn it, you b*tch!¡±


    Halfway through his scolding, he wanted to wave the stick in his hand and hit Shen Wan.


    Yet Shen Wan¡¯s reaction was faster than his!


    She pulled out the butcher knife from the wild boar¡¯s neck with a backhand and used the back of the knife to ruthlessly smash Chai Jin¡¯s hand. At the same time, she snatched the stick from his hand.


    There was the clear sound of bones cracking. Chai Jin had seen with his own eyes that his right hand had been smacked into a strange angle by Shen Wan¡¯s pig slaughtering knife. Only after that did the intense pain follow. Chai Jin gave a sharp cry and took half a step back.


    Shen Wan hated him to the bone. A simple broken hand could not resolve her hatred. If it was not for the fact that she would go to jail for killing people, Shen Wan would have cut him into pieces long ago!


    Even though Shen Wan intentionally held back her strength and tried not to beat him to death or cripple him, she still attacked ruthlessly. She hit Chai Jin until he was scurrying all over the ground and shouted anxiously, ¡°What are you all standing there for? Get her!¡±


    The surrounding hooligans who had retreated in fear from the pig¡¯s blood finally reacted. They all wailed and waved their weapons as they charged at Shen Wan.


    Finally being able to see Shen Wan suffer a loss, Grandma Shen clapped her hands and shouted, ¡°Fight! Kill her! Good fight!¡±


    Grandpa Shen and Shen Qiang were also full of smiles as if they were extremely happy to see Shen Wan being beaten to death.


    ¡°Hurry up! Quickly go out and call for help!¡±


    When he saw that the one-on-one fight had turned into a group fight, Shen Gang was so scared that his face turned pale. He quickly shouted for Deng Ying, who had been scared out of her wits. At the same time, he limped as he raised his walking stick and tried to hit someone at the edge. ¡°You bunch of b*stards. Let the little girl go! And you, if you want to fight, then come and fight me. Are you even human for bullying Shen Wan?¡±


    Shen Gang regretted it to death at this moment. He thought, ¡®Why didn¡¯t I realize that I had such a bestial family before?¡¯


    However, everyone present underestimated Shen Wan¡¯s fighting ability. She was extremely steady and did not panic at all. She tilted her waist and dodged a few stick attacks. She then raised her leg and kicked away a hooligan who wanted to back throw her. She felt that it was not good to hit people, so she threw away the pig slaughtering knife and used the stick to hit one person with each hand.


    When Deng Ying brought the neighbors over, she saw Shen Wan standing in the center with her arms crossed. She was covered in blood like a demon that had climbed out of Hell. Around her, a group of hooligans with bruised faces were sprawled on the ground. Shen Qiang, Grandma Shen, and Grandpa Shen, who had been swaggering around, were all cowering in a corner, afraid that they would be attacked by Shen Wan.
