Chapter 5 The Foster Parents Are Strange
Yun Jin thought to herself, "You're the ugly one, your whole family is ugly!"
Chen Wenjuan glared at Yun Jin and continued, "Also, if you marry into our Chen family, you have to abide by our family rules and behave yourself! You're not even as good-looking as me, I really don't know why my older brother married you!"
Yun Jin thought of her own thin body and knew that the original owner of the body had not been able to eat or dress warmly at her adoptive parents' house and had to work all day. She must be dark and thin now, and compared to the fair and plump Chen Wenjuan, she was indeed much worse off.
"You're right, you are indeed more handsome than me." Yun Jin nodded vigorously. "I know I'm not good enough for your brother. Don't worry, I will take good care of my mother-in-law and treat my sister-in-law well in the future. Can you tell me about your family situation and what I should do to make you all happy?"
Seeing how obedient she was, Chen Wenjuan's expression softened a bit. She plopped down on the round stool next to her and said loudly, "Since your attitude is alright, I'll teach you a few more words."
Next, she began to talk at length about the Chen family's home, from Chen's mother's favorite flavors and colors to all the little things in the house.
Taking the opportunity, Yun Jin subtly inquired about the Chen family's financial situation.
Upon further inquiry, it was discovered that Chen Wencai's family was only moderately wealthy, not a rich and powerful family. Yun Jin couldn't understand why, given the original owner's powerful adoptive parents, they would marry her off to the Chen family.
It seems there's something fishy going on here!
However, Yun Jin could tell from Chen Wenjuan's words that she didn't seem particularly smart and was quite easy to fool. How could she hate the original owner so much? In her previous life, she had tormented the original owner quite a bit.
Seeing that she had understood enough, Yun Jin slowly propped herself up and sat up.
Chen Wenjuan was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses: "What are you going to do?"
Yun Jin nodded her chin towards the table: "I'm a little thirsty, could you get me a glass of water?"
Chen Wenjuan thought for a moment: "Since you've been relatively obedient, I'll grant your wish. You just wait!"
Before she could finish speaking, the instant she turned to look at the table, Yun Jin had already sprung up, bracing herself against the bed with one hand to steady herself, while her other hand moved with lightning speed, slashing towards the back of Chen Wenjuan's neck.
As Chen Wenjuan turned to look for the kettle, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck. She turned around abruptly and stared in horror at Yun Jin, who was following closely behind her. She only managed to utter the word "you" before her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.
Yun Jin shook her hand and cursed, "Idiot."
She bent down and laboriously dragged the unconscious Chen Wenjuan to the bed, stripped off her outer garment, took off her own wedding dress, and haphazardly put it on Chen Wenjuan. She stuffed the tattered cloth into Chen Wenjuan's mouth, bound her hands and feet tightly, and finally covered her head with a red veil. If you didn't look closely, you really wouldn't notice that the bride had been changed.
She glanced at the clothes Chen Wenjuan had taken off, curled her lip in disgust, tossed them on the ground, and turned to open the wardrobe.
The cabinet was mostly filled with Chen Wencai's clothes, and there was a red cloth bundle in the corner.
Upon opening it, one finds several worn-out women's clothes and undergarments, likely items worn by the original owner when she lived with her adoptive parents.
These clothes naturally couldn't be left at the Chen family's house, so she waved her hand and put the bundle into her spatial storage.
After thinking for a moment, Yun Jin walked to the door and gently opened it a crack.
The maidservant waiting outside was startled when she saw the door suddenly open and Yun Jin. Before she could ask anything, Yun Jin grabbed her wrist and pulled her inside.
She slammed the door shut behind her and threw the maid to the ground.
"Who...who are you? What do you want?" A line of text instantly floated above the maid's head: [Yu Xiang: Favorability -30%].
It turned out her name was Yu Xiang. Yun Jin then understood that she needed to match her favorability and know who she was before she would appear.
As Yu Xiang was forced into the house by Yun Jin, her favorability rating plummeted, instantly dropping to -80%.
"I'm your young mistress," Yun Jin said in a low, ruthless voice, "You'd better behave yourself, or don't blame me for killing you!!"
Yu Xiang's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief: "Wait, where's my young lady? Weren't you tied up? Oh no... Someone, come quick—"
Before she could finish speaking, Yun Jin kicked her in the knee and cursed, "Shut up!"
Yu Xiang winced in pain and swallowed the words that were about to come out.
Yun Jin bolted the door shut, quickly tied Yu Xiang's hands and feet with a rope, stuffed a rag into her mouth, and pushed her under the bed.
Just as Yun Jin tucked Yu Xiang under the bed, her stomach started growling.
She rubbed her stomach and then remembered that the original owner's adoptive parents had not given her anything to eat the night before her marriage, fearing that she would cry and resist when she got married.
In the original owner's memory, her adoptive parents had treated her like a slave ever since she could remember.
They were just ordinary people in the town, yet they wore fine silks, employed servants, and lived a life more extravagant than the town's wealthy families. Yet they were so cruel to the original owner of this body, their adopted daughter. This in itself was strange.
The file provided by Tuoba Hui did not mention the origins of the adoptive parents, nor what their relationship was with his father in the capital and his mistress.
But Yun Jin felt something was off; there must be some unknown secret behind this.
But now is not the time to delve into it; filling our stomachs is the key.
The spiritual spring water had relieved the muscle weakness and restored some of her strength, but it wasn't enough to fill her stomach.
She first bolted the door from the inside, then pushed open the window and jumped out.
Relying on the original owner's memories, they tiptoed towards the Chen family's kitchen.
The kitchen was empty, but perhaps because of the celebration, there was a lot of ready-made food laid out upside down on the stove.
She lifted the lid of the still-warm pot and saw a plate of sliced braised beef, half a roast chicken, and several steamed buns and dumplings on the side.
Yun Jin didn't stand on ceremony and casually put the food into her spatial storage.
He glanced around the kitchen again and saw a basket of eggs and two pieces of cured meat hanging on the wall, so he took them as well.
As I turned around, I caught a glimpse of two pieces of tofu on the cupboard. Just as I was about to reach for them, I suddenly heard a "whoosh—hah—" sound coming from the inner room.
She felt a chill run down her spine and quickly shrank to the side of the water tank, holding her breath and listening intently.
The continuous "whoosh" sound turned out to be snoring.
Yun Jin quietly leaned forward and followed the sound, only to find a woman lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) in the inner kitchen. She must be the cook, and she was fast asleep.
She breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to put the tofu into her spatial storage.
Her gaze swept over the half-full water vat, and she peeked inside. Just that one glance startled her; what a face was reflected in the water!
To be honest, the original owner's features weren't ugly. She had willow-leaf eyebrows and phoenix eyes, but because she was too thin, her face didn't have much flesh, so her eyes looked very big and her chin was pointed. No wonder Chen Wenjuan just said she wasn't pretty.
Yun Jin touched her face; it seemed she needed time to recover.
She suppressed her thoughts and put the water tank away.
Since they had already taken everything, they decided to take whatever they could use, including iron pots, copper spoons, cooking utensils, knives, seasonings, and even rice and noodles from the rice bin. They put everything they might need in the future into their space before turning around and heading back to the new house.
She went through the window and entered the room, only to find that Chen Wenjuan on the bed had woken up at some point and was writhing and making muffled cursing noises.
Yun Jin kicked her twice in the buttocks, her voice cold and stern: "Quiet! If you make another sound, watch your tongue!"
Chen Wenjuan let out a "uh" as she was kicked, and her body under the veil trembled violently. She really didn't dare to move anymore.
Yun Jin then took out braised beef, roast chicken, and steamed buns from her spatial storage, poured herself a cup of spring water, and began to enjoy her meal.
Only when you're full will you have the energy to perform!
