Quick Transmigration: My First Female Skill Takes Effect

Before Cui Jue could even plead for mercy, he was stabbed in the chest again with a dagger.

The dagger was even turned around once by a pair of fair and slender hands.

Cui Jue kept his eyes open, his breathing weak, until he died.

Luo Sheng watched him die, and only relaxed after he had truly stopped breathing, though the sound was getting closer.

"Ah Sheng, what are you doing?"

Luo Sheng's elder brother, Luo Yi, hadn't even stepped inside, but his eyes had already seen the blood and the people lying on the ground.

His pupils dilated, his hands trembled as he held the medicine, and he scolded through gritted teeth.

Gu's fourth daughter-in-law, Zhou Xinghua, gritted her teeth as she washed the purslane and lamb's quarters. She secretly glared at her third sister-in-law, who was waiting for the water in the iron pot to boil.

Although each of the four daughters-in-law was supposed to cook for a day, whenever it was the third daughter-in-law Li Ling's turn, she always found a reason to ask someone else to help her.

My mother-in-law is so biased, she's completely biased.

Zhou Xinghua lamented her bad luck, saying that her sister-in-law always held her head high, as if afraid that she would drop money if she lowered her head, and spoke to people with arrogance.

Pah! So what if she gave birth to the eldest grandson in the family? She can have children too.

She shook the water off the wild vegetables in her hand, put them in the basket next to her, and then took another handful.

Second sister-in-law, haha, a spineless coward who always keeps her head down.

The two were about the same height, but one looked up while the other looked down, making them appear to have a significant height difference, which was quite amusing.

Zhou Xinghua continued to put the water in the pan and continued to wash it, but she used much more force.

And then there's my third sister-in-law, she's lazy, not virtuous at all, and only knows how to flatter.

She was the only good daughter-in-law in the whole family, but her mother-in-law was blind and couldn't see it.

"Fourth sister-in-law, if you keep washing, the leaves will all fall off," Li Ling reminded her.

Zhou Xinghua, who had been talking badly about others, suddenly felt a chill. She looked at Li Ling with a slightly guilty expression: "...I understand." After washing, she chopped away.

Li Ling didn't pay attention to this fourth sister-in-law. She had many thoughts, but she didn't say them out loud in front of her, so she pretended not to know.

Once the water boils, add the beans. Today's soup is a mixed grain and wild vegetable soup.

It wasn't a holiday or a busy farming season, so having food was already a blessing, Li Ling comforted herself.

After Zhou Xinghua washed and chopped all the vegetables, Li Ling went over and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Fourth Sister-in-law. Let me do it."

"Go do your thing."

Zhou Xinghua sniffed, feeling that these words still sounded like something a sister-in-law should say.

"Okay, then I'll do the laundry."

Zhou Xinghua's originally stern face slowly relaxed, like flower petals. Sometimes, Third Sister-in-law is quite nice.

She took the clothes and went out to wash them.

A woman of about twenty-five or twenty-six came out from the house right across the street, carrying a basin that was two or three times larger than Zhou Xinghua's clothes.

"Together?" Zhou Xinghua asked first.

"Okay, wait for me." The woman turned to a child of about five years old behind her and gave him the instructions.

"Lanya, don't run out of the village, or I'll spank you. You're also not allowed to go into the water or up the mountain with your brothers." She was afraid her son wouldn't be able to take good care of his youngest daughter.

I'm also worried that my youngest daughter, who has just recovered, might get sick again.

The little girl's expression changed from full of curiosity to dejected in an instant. She lowered her head and said, "Okay."

She's an 18-year-old adult; it's too embarrassing for her to be spanked.

"Mom, then I'll go play with Qingfeng next door."

"OK."

The woman had already walked up to Zhou Xinghua, who turned around and agreed that as long as she didn't run around, everything would be fine.

"Is Lanya alright?" Zhou Xinghua asked casually with concern.

"That's all..."

The two then began to talk about other things.

Gu Lan ran next door and was told by the aunt next door that Xu Qingfeng was not there.

She agreed and ran to the private school. At the entrance, she saw a child squatting down. He was about seven years old and his eyes were looking intently at a teacher inside.

"At birth, human nature is inherently good..."

Gu Lan had intended to say a few words to Xu Qingfeng, but upon hearing the teacher reciting the drowsy Three Character Classic, she immediately ran away.

I really don't want to go to class anymore.

However, when she ran back, she saw that Xu Qingfeng was not moving at all, squatting at the door with a serious expression.

Gu Lan stood there for a moment, then ran off, her face flushed, until she reached the door and slapped herself on the head.

She had actually wanted to help Xu Qingfeng get into a private school.

That's out of their mind.

She looked up and saw her neighbor across the hall staring at her like she was an idiot.

Gu Lan: "..."

She explained, "...I, I have a bug on my head."

Holding a piece of tofu in her hand, Li Ling nodded, neither confirming nor denying the belief, but simply telling her not to hit her on the head, or she would become mentally impaired.

Gu Lan reluctantly agreed.

This statement revealed that the other party did not believe her lame excuse.

She stomped heavily on the ground, took a deep breath for three seconds with her head down, and ran home as if nothing had happened.

"Milk."

An elderly woman with thin brow bones had just come out of the small kitchen, holding two pieces of malt candy in her hand. She trembled when she heard her granddaughter's voice.

Debt collectors.

The old lady glared at her, which startled her. It was a worthless item that cost her a full tael or three taels of silver.

He said irritably, "Why are you shouting so loudly? I'm not deaf." He saw her running in from outside, her face still red.

Another scolding followed: "You ran off again! Didn't your mother say you're still not well? Let me tell you, Gu Lanya, if you get sick again..."

"Don't even think about me spending another penny."

Gu Lan: "..."

She shouldn't be so polite.

However, the old lady did spend one or three taels of silver on her medicine. What could she do? She could only hope to get the old lady to forgive her.

In the past few days, she had gained a pretty good understanding of life in ancient times.

One or three taels of silver was indeed a considerable sum for their family.

"Grandma, what are you holding in your hand?" Gu Lan was about to say something to skip over what had just happened, but then she saw the malt candy sticking out of the old lady's hand.

The moment she saw it, her mouth watered, and she subconsciously licked her lips: "Grandma, thank you for thinking of me."

The old lady looked at Gu Lan in disbelief.

"What a pipe dream." She turned and left without even glancing at Gu Lan, whom she was supporting.

Before long, Gu Lan saw the malt candy in the old lady's hand fall into the hands of her twin brother and her cousin who was a year younger than her.

Hahaha.

Neither of them is as tall as her; she can beat them.

"Did you get into a fight?"

Li Ling, who had prepared the meal, waited for Gu Sanhe to return, but he was covered in dirt in his patched gray clothes, and there was even a tear in the seam on his arm.

Gu Sanhe grinned at her and was about to walk towards Li Ling when he caught a glimpse of his second brother, Gu Ershui, still standing there.

He turned back and said, "Second Brother, don't forget what you promised me."

Gu Ershui nodded with a headache: "I know, I won't tell Mom and Dad."

He secretly regretted his poor communication skills and for not refusing sooner.

Gu Sanhe was satisfied. He ran a few steps, pulled Li Ling into the house, and closed the door behind him, looking like he had found a good thing.

Li Ling's eyes lit up.
