A woman in her 70s marries a rough-looking man; her plump wife is too delicate and alluring.

Summer night, 1976, Shihe Village, by the lake.

The moment He Zhaodi regained consciousness, she felt like she was suffocating.

Cold water rushed into her mouth and nose. Instinctively, she tried to lift her head, struggling with her hands.

But as soon as he looked up, he was pressed down hard.

"You fatso, why should you marry Brother Yuze? Brother Yuze is mine, you know that?"

It was He Xidi's voice. She gritted her teeth and pushed He Zhaodi into the river.

"You're a blind, fat, good-for-nothing. How could you possibly be worthy of Brother Yuze? Why wasn't I the one who married him?!"

She pressed down once for every sentence she spoke.

He Zhaodi formed a hand seal with one hand, subconsciously trying to use magic, but was shocked to find that he couldn't.

That madman really wanted to kill him.

She instinctively grabbed He Xidi's body to use as leverage to kick her legs.

"Splash!"

He Xidi was thrown into the river.

He Zhaodi took the opportunity to get up and breathe deeply.

Then she realized that everything she saw was blurry.

She was a rabbit demon who happened to become a spirit before the founding of the People's Republic of China. She lived for 500 years, but failed her tribulation and transmigrated into a 70s novel she was reading.

Wherever she went, she was treated with utmost respect. Unexpectedly, she transmigrated into the body of a useless person and was immediately forced into the water, which was her greatest fear.

It's bad enough that I've lost my magic power, but now I can't even see anything.

"You're crazy, He Zhaodian, how dare you push me!"

He Xidi's voice rang out from not far away.

He Zhao turned towards the source of the sound. The night made it even harder to see clearly, and she walked over fiercely, relying on the sound.

Although she was a rabbit, she was the most short-tempered of the entire clan, preferring to fight rather than speak.

Today, He Xidi really ran into a brick wall.

He Zhaodi walked up to her and, without saying a word, touched He Xidi and pressed her body down.

"Don't you like pressing buttons? Would you like it if I pressed them?"

"Say something?"

"Do you like it? I'll take your silence as a yes."

He Zhaodi imitated He Xidi just now, pressing down on her with each word. Although she couldn't see He Xidi's face, she could tell from the splashing water around her that she was struggling.

He Xidi's voice came out intermittently: "He... Zhaodi... you wait... to go home and die..."

He Zhao felt annoyed by her voice. "Isn't this what you like?"

Her irritability wasn't just because of He Xidi, but also because of her body; she could clearly feel tired and couldn't breathe properly.

She remembered that He Zhaodi in the novel was a fat man weighing over 190 pounds.

He Zhaodi's ears twitched; he heard footsteps—someone was coming.

She stood up from the water and looked down at the dark figure that suddenly rose to breathe.

"I'll let you off the hook today, but if you dare to mess with me again, I'll shove you down in the toilet."

Just then, Aunt Shi Li, who had just stolen vegetables from someone else's house, noticed this.

She couldn't hear what He Zhaodi was saying, but could only see two dark figures. The standing figure looked as strong as a bear. She thought for a moment, "Isn't that the blind man from the He family?"

She glanced at the dark figure in the river and immediately pictured He Zhaodi abusing a man. She hurriedly left; this was big news.

He Xidi glared at He Zhaodi resentfully, wanting to continue bullying her as usual, but the feeling of being pressed underwater just now still made her shudder.

She turned around and went home to complain to her mother, Liu Aiyun.

He Zhaodi heard her leave and followed her at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, since she couldn't see the road clearly and didn't know the way home.

"Mother, He Zhaodi, that good-for-nothing, bullied me by holding me underwater."

As soon as she got home, He Xidi cried and went back to her room to show Liu Aiyun her soaked clothes.

Liu Aiyun looked at He Xi's wet hair, water dripping down his clothes, making him look both disheveled and aggrieved.

Liu Aiyun was so angry that she even threw off her clothes. "That brat dared to bully you! Does she have a death wish?"

He Zhaodi had just reached the courtyard gate when he heard Liu Aiyun's loud voice.

He Zhaodi sneered.

"Why don't you ask her what she did to me first?"

Liu Aiyun turned her head and saw He Zhaodi, who was also soaking wet. His 190-pound body looked even more bloated. Her face immediately darkened. "Did you hold your sister underwater?"

"It was she who pushed me into the water first." He Zhaodui said word by word.

He Xidi immediately hid behind Liu Aiyun, "I didn't!"

"You said I wasn't good enough for Sheng Yuze, and you pressed my head down every time you said that."

"You're talking nonsense!" He Xi looked at Liu Aiyun with a wronged expression.

Liu Aiyun frowned. Of course she knew what kind of people her two daughters were. Moreover, He Xidi had always been interested in Sheng Yuze. It would be strange if she could resist the news that He Zhaodi was going to marry into the family.

"Alright, everyone, say less. It's not a big deal. People will laugh at us if they find out."

He Xi looked at Liu Aiyun in disbelief, "Mother, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

Liu Aiyun glared at her, "Don't think I don't know what you've been doing. Go change your clothes now."

He Xidi's eyes reddened as she ran into the house.

Liu Aiyun looked at He Zhaodi impatiently, "Don't just stand there, hurry up and change your clothes. You're getting married in a few days, don't catch a cold and make the Sheng family say I'm mistreating you."

He Zhao didn't move. "I'm not getting married."

Liu Aiyun exploded upon hearing those three words, "What do you mean? You're not going to get married? I've already received five ten-yuan bills, and you think you can just say you won't? I've already spent the money, you have to get married."

This was the first time He Zhaodi had ever met such a difficult person, even more so than the fox demons of the demon realm.

Her temper gradually flared up. "Didn't you understand that I said I wouldn't marry them? Either you give them back their money, or you marry them yourself. Do you understand?"

"Besides, you're the one who took the money and you're the one who made the appointment. What does it have to do with me? If it really doesn't work out, He Xidi doesn't like Sheng Yuze, so why don't you let her marry him?"

Liu Aiyun's face flushed red and then turned pale, then she rolled her eyes and smiled.

"Give me five ten-yuan bills within three days, and you won't have to get married. Besides, I've raised you for so many years, just waiting for you to get married so I could get a dowry. If you say you won't get married, then no one will want you anymore. Is it okay if I give you these five ten-yuan bills?"

He Zhaodi was silent for a moment, then, considering the cause and effect, she agreed.

"Okay, but I need a letter of introduction and to sever ties with my relatives."

Liu Aiyun's smile froze.

Her intention was to make things difficult for this brat, to make her give up. If she couldn't come up with the money, she'd still have to obediently marry him.

Not only did He Zhaodi agree, he also added two conditions.

A letter of introduction is fine.

It is permissible to sever ties with relatives.

"What do you mean?" Liu Aiyun's voice shrieked. "I've raised you for so many years, and you just sever ties with me like this?"

He Zhao could not see her expression, but he could hear the panic in her voice.

She was a little puzzled. In her view, it was a very clear deal.

"Here's the money. We're cutting ties. From now on, your affairs are none of my business, and my affairs are none of your business."
