Today, a major event occurred in Lishui Village.
The silly girl from the Shen family's second branch was knocked into the air by a cow and fainted on the spot.
The Shen Family invited Doctor Li from the village to take a look. After examining her, Doctor Li said there was little hope for recovery and advised them to be mentally prepared.
Who knew, just as Doctor Li was leaving, the girl suddenly woke up.
Oddly enough, after she woke up, she wasn't the same silly girl as before, giggling foolishly and drooling all the time.
She seemed completely soulless, no crying or fussing, just eating when given food and drinking when given water, remaining silent like a mute.
The Shen Family invited Doctor Li again to check her, but he couldn't determine the cause and suggested sending her to the town for a closer examination.
The Shen Family wanted to send her, but due to economic constraints, the rice barrel was almost empty. Where would they find money to invite a town doctor?
And so, day by day passed, until the sixth day, when the girl finally showed some signs of movement.
Shen Qinglan initially wanted to play the fool, living a life eating and waiting to die, but the poor fare was too much; from chicken soup on the first day, to egg custard on the second, white porridge on the third, plain porridge on the fourth, and boiled wild greens soup on the fifth, she could no longer sit idle.
A few days ago, she had just left an organization, took a wad of cash, and bought a villa in the suburbs, intending to live comfortably.
Back then, it was the height of summer, feeling stiflingly hot, she decided to cool off with a swim in the pool. But unexpectedly, a clear sky suddenly turned stormy, and before she could react, a lightning bolt struck, crisping her inside out.
She watched herself float out from her charred body, then lost consciousness.
When she awoke, she was in this unknown dynasty.
The original owner was a fool since childhood, and from her memories, Qinglan could gather no useful information.
Having been in this world for six days now, everything about this place remained obscure to her.
"Third sister, look, what Second Brother brought you back!"
Shen Qinglan lazily lifted her eyes, seeing Second Brother Shen Qingzhu with a nest of bird eggs he procured from somewhere, looking eagerly at her.
Little Brother Shen Qingping boasted, "Third Sister, Second Brother and I fetched these bird eggs!"
"Shen Qingzhu, you're taking Little Brother up the mountain to climb trees again, you're asking for trouble!"
Big Sister Shen Qingju rushed out of the kitchen with the spatula, scolding Shen Qingzhu loudly.
Little Brother Shen Qingping hid behind Shen Qingzhu, sticking his tongue out but too scared to speak.
Shen Qingzhu held the bird nest, shoulders hunched, not daring to say a word.
Shen Qinglan found it amusing; in this house, Shen Qingzhu and Shen Qingping were most afraid of their fiery-tempered Big Sister Shen Qingju.
"Aren't you aware of your age, sixteen already? In a year or two, you'll be marrying and starting a family, yet you remain mischievous and clueless. If it happens again, I'll tell our parents to send you to Uncle."
After a warning, Shen Qingju returned to the kitchen.
At these words, Shen Qingzhu stiffened, not just his shoulders but even his neck shrank.
Uncle Dong Zhong had a bad temper; if someone didn't act according to his wishes, he'd draw a circle in the yard, making you kneel inside, and you couldn't get up until he permitted.
If you ran out without his approval, the next time he'd definitely greet you with a stick.
The children in the house feared Dong Zhong, even the original owner who was simple-minded, feared him greatly.
Seeing Big Sister leave, only then did Shen Qingzhu flatteringly say to Shen Qinglan, "Third Sister, didn't you want to eat bird eggs? Second Brother brought them to you, there are six of them, so we'll cook them to eat later, okay?"
