Li hua was stirred awake by the faint medicinal fragrance in the air
She knew this fragrance all too well, having been raised by her grandfather in a moutain village
She was accustomed to things like this scents
However she knew her injuries well
Her skull her tore open at impact with the ground, even her face couldn't be regenerate to its original state with the highest plastic surgery as it had cracked open
She felt dizzy all over when a wave of nausea gripped her
She lunged forward barely holding herself up with her little strength
And then she begun to retch violently, expelling all she could from her stomach
A mix of saliva, water and acidic juice
Frowning at the earth underneath and this bed? Made of wood and the walls made of earth
Where was she?
She thought to herself
"Third uncle, fifth aunt is awake" the child cried out seeing the third aunt on the bed
Li hua frowned at the unfamiliar environment and the strange child in front of her
She wasn't a fan of children, never intended to have one of her own
"Fifth wife" a flurry of footsteps could be heard and soon the small room was crowded with strangers of varying ages
Li hua stared at this strangers warily, she couldn't understand or wrap her head around what was going on
Clearly she had died on her way to work
Who then was fifth aunt
"Fifth sister- in- law, you're awake" the cries of a woman startled Li hua who itched to push the woman far away from her
Xi xiaoyan was dramatic but not this level of dramatic
"Fifth sister- in- law" another voice came from the crowd of people
Li hua could already feel her head throbbing painfully, her throat burned
"Wa..water…" she managed to say and the eldest aunt poured her a bowl of water which she drank greedily
"Is she really pregnant?" Someone whispered from the crowd and others nodded
"Doctor Lou confirmed the fact that she's carrying the joy pulse" another replied with certainty
Li hua narrowed her eyes at this people
Dark faces, even their clothes were nothing like she had seen her whole life
"Where am I?" Li hua couldn't help asking,
The number of people surrounding her at the moment was making her sick
She wanted to lay her head down and sleep, cause she was aching terribly in her head
And this situation was making no sense to her
"Your husband isn't home and you dare run around acting unruly!" Matriarch Deng snapped tapping her cane hard
Everyone inside the small room, subconsciously parted way for the family's matriarch to come in
"Who are you?" Li hua raised a brow, somewhat annoyed with the old lady throwing her weight around
"That's no way to speak to mother! Even if you never wanted this marriage, your and fifth son are already married and expecting a child!" Second aunt frowned clearly displeased with the young woman on the bed
Their family had known no peace since she married into the family a month ago
"I keep asking the same question! Where am I!" She snapped clearly annoyed with the banter
Damn her head was aching terribly, worse she couldn't remember nothing
And how could she think when they were blocking the air flow in this small room
"You're in your husband's house!" Matriarch Deng snorted tapping her cane hard unto the hard floor
"Mother maybe she needs time, she fell into the well she needs time to recuperate" one of the aunts led the others out and shut the door behind her
"You really do not remember a thing Sun hwa?" Guo yinyi asked in disbelief eyeing the girl on the bed suspiciously
Though the girl looked harmless she had seen her own fair share of her craziness in the past month
"What did you call me?" She asked with a raised brow
"Aren't you Zhang sun hwa….. or have the fall made you delusional?!" Guo yinyi asked examining the sun hwa from afar
"I'm Zhang Sun Hwa?" She raised a brow and then she burst into laughter
She laughed so much her tears fell freely
For someone like her things like this weren't enough to trigger a mental breakdown
Her interest had been to prove that reincarnation did exist and now she was
Reincarnated
Was it because of her work?
The one she had imagined she's be crowned the savior of the universe for?
Was her potrayal that good
She reincarnated?!
Guo Jinyi sighed as she strode out
Still finding Sun hwa as crazy as ever as she made her way to the earthen kitchen
"How's she?" Eldest wife asked seeing Guo jinyi walk in
"I might as well cook up some porridge for her, sister when will the fifth son be back?" Guo jinyi couldn't help asking
She couldn't imagine life without her husband
She could understand sun hwa to an extent
Forced into a union she never wanted
Leaving her last love behind, she had already envisioned her future with that man
Yet she was thrust into a union with not just anyone but someone she hated with her very being
She could understand Sun hwa's feeling perfectly
Though she hoped with the child in the way Sun Hwa would do better
However considering how the fifth son had left after their wedding night
She had no hopes
"You should make want you came for and keep your nose out of matters that do not concern you" Eldest wife frowned in disapproval at Guo Jinyi's probing
She'd have to see the third wife and have her talk some sense into the lose mouthed daughter in law least she gets into trouble
Guo Jinyi sighed at the eldest wife's rebuke
She helpless scooped a handful of rice to boil for Sun hwa's porridge
"Sun hwa merely jumped into the well this time, who knows what might happen next time, this family has had no peace since she came in through the doors!" Chen Ruoxuan grunted glaring at the handful of rice Guo Jinji intended making for the lose making Sun hwa
"If you have enough time you might as well get busy and quit running your mouth!"Eldest wife glared at Chen Ruoxuan then pointed to a basket full of wild vegetables for the latter to handle
Guo Jinji giggled softly as she continued to prepare the porridge after rinsing the pot And washing the rice, then she placed the pot a boil
Smiling gleefully
Nothing was better than seeing Chen Ruoxuan
The notorious trouble maker
At a disadvantage
She didn't even flinch when Chen Ruoxuan shot her a pointed glare
~
Meanwhile in the bedroom
Li hua had slowly absorbed the fragmented memories she could
With the peace and quiet she got she was able to think deeply
"Such a pitiful soul" she clicked her tongue in disdain
To her the original Sun hwa had lived a very unappealing life
Trying to end her life all because of a man
When she could easily throw a divorce papers in his face
And his family?
They were even easier to handle
And she Jang Li hua was never one to suffer loses
Else her twenty something years of life would have been for nothing
"I made some porridge" Guo Jinyi knocked softly and though Li hua didn't bother saying a word she soon came in and placed the bowl of porridge in front of Li hua
"You're pregnant now hwa'er , you can't neglect your health any more" Guo Jinyi sighed recalling the times Sun hwa would rather stubbornly go on hunger strike
Li hua wasn't interested in hearing the details as she nonchalantly picked up the bowl of porridge but frowned at its ordinary taste
'I guess Sun Hwa, was right to go on hunger strike' she lamented in her heart
However she drank each drop of porridge nott even wasting a single sip
