After going hungry for three days, little Ruyi finally dug a handful of beans out of a mouse hole, only for her stepmother to accuse her of stealing. After beating her, the woman sent her out to kneel in the snow as punishment, while her scumbag father even wanted to bury her alive.
Luckily, her uncles arrived in time and gathered little Ruyi into their arms.
Her eldest uncle smiled faintly. “It’s getting cold. Peach Blossom Village should disappear.”
Her second uncle’s face turned frosty. “Anyone who hurts my precious girl, no matter how far away, will pay!”
Her scumbag father regretted it. “So what if she’s doted on? She was still born on the Ghost Festival, an unlucky little wretch.”
Who could have guessed that after little Ruyi returned to the Pei family, her uncles’ fortunes would keep improving? Her third aunt, who had been unable to conceive for years, gave birth to twin boys in one go.
Even Old Master Pei, who had been lying in bed waiting to die, was suddenly well enough to chase the emperor around the palace with his cane!
Ahhhhhh, why are there so many typos?
