After wearing it: I traded a pig for a man.
Chapter 1 Do you want a man or not?
"Yun Ning! Do you want a man? A batch of convicts are coming to the village this afternoon, go and buy one."
This was the first thing Jiang Yun Ning heard when she transmigrated.
Fortunately, she still retained a tiny bit of the original owner's memories, knowing that in this dynasty, anyone over sixteen who didn't get married would be fined. Therefore, the court distributed convict slaves to the village every year so that villagers could buy them back to get married, thereby increasing the marriage rate and stabilizing public sentiment.
Otherwise, just from that one sentence, she would really think she had encountered human traffickers.
Aunt Hua from next door walked in with a smile, and was startled when she saw the blood on Jiang Yun Ning's face: "What happened to you?"
Jiang Yun Ning didn't hide anything: "It was Granny Yang who pushed it."
When she woke up and took over this body, she was lying face down on the floor. The blood on her forehead had dried.
It took Jiang Yun Ning half an hour to accept the fact that she, a soon-to-be-graduated agricultural student, had died suddenly from staying up all night writing her thesis and had transmigrated into a love-obsessed character in an alternate era.
The original owner of this body, obsessed with the village scholar Song Minglang, went so far as to threaten her parents with a hunger strike to force them to pay for Song Minglang's education. She even stole her nephew's tuition fees, pointing at her five-year-old nephew and yelling, "What are you studying for? It's all for nothing! You might as well give this money to my brother Minglang so he can have something good to eat!"
Finally, because he had the idea of selling his nephew for money, his elder brother was so angry that he wanted to divide the family property.
Jiang Yuning was speechless. The original owner of this love-struck body had gone to such lengths, but in the end, she was still pushed by Song Minglang's mother and crashed into a stone table, dying instantly.
Aunt Hua said helplessly, "I told you long ago, there's not a single good person in the Song family. That Song Minglang is just lying to you. He said he'd get married as soon as he passed the imperial examination, but he just wants you to support his studies."
Jiang Yun Ning nodded, "That's right."
But the original owner wouldn't listen.
Seeing her nod, Aunt Hua thought she had given up after being pushed by Granny Yang, and immediately pressed her advantage: "You, you've paid the fine for three years now. It's time to give up."
Jiang Yun Ning remained silent, afraid that saying too much would lead to mistakes and that people would discover she was an "imposter."
"New slaves are coming to the village this afternoon. Listen to Aunt Hua, go buy one." Aunt Hua looked at her with exasperation. "They're all dead contracts, so I don't have to worry about being bullied. Isn't it better than that Song family boy?"
A death pact?
Jiang Yun Ning's eyes lit up, and she immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll talk to my parents at noon and we'll go buy it this afternoon."
Buying them back to be free labor is just right, and you don't have to pay any fines.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Before he could think about it, Jiang Yun Ning heard several pig squeals coming from the backyard.
She then remembered that the original owner's father and elder brother were both skilled pig butchers, and the original owner had naturally learned them well from their experience.
Jiang Yun Ning's face twitched uncontrollably.
No way! Fine, I'll wear it then. I'll admit I'm love-struck, but why am I still a butcher?!
She has no idea how to slaughter pigs! She feels like throwing up just seeing chickens being slaughtered!
"Wow!" Jiang Yun Ning couldn't help but exclaim, making the most straightforward and concise statement, as he suddenly remembered this.
I go?
Aunt Hua asked with a puzzled look, "Where are you going?"
Jiang Yun Ning chuckled twice: "Nowhere. I mean, I'm going to buy a man this afternoon."
She kept laughing to comfort herself.
It's okay, it's okay. At least we didn't go straight to the underworld, right?
After seeing Aunt Hua off, Jiang Yun Ning sat down on a bench in the yard and stared blankly into space.
In the original owner's memory, the family was out of money, otherwise he wouldn't have told Granny Yang, "Come again tomorrow."
How did she buy the slaves?
Jiang Yunning sighed.
The two pigs in the backyard started squealing more frequently and even banged on the fence in a bit of agitation.
Jiang Yun Ning strode over angrily, "What's all the noise about? If you keep making noise, I'll sell you all!"
Her eyes lit up. Since she didn't know how to slaughter pigs, why not sell one and get a slave instead?
Just as he was getting into his thoughts, his gaze fell on the half-chopped pig feed next to him, and his mind went blank.
Damn! I just transmigrated here and I have to feed pigs?
Heavens above! Let her die again!
Jiang Yun Ning sighed. She didn't know how to slaughter pigs, but she knew how to feed them. Her family had raised a few pigs when she was a child, and she had fed them for two years.
"Scream, scream, scream." Jiang Yun Ning plopped down and started chopping pig feed: "I'm starving myself, but I still have to take care of you guys first!"
She glared at the two pigs, and before she knew it, she had cut her hand.
"Ouch!" Jiang Yun Ning gasped in pain.
"Won't I get tetanus? God, I was just joking when I said I'd die again! I don't want to die! I want to thrive here!"
As blood flowed out, Jiang Yun Ning suddenly noticed a bracelet on her left hand that she couldn't tell what material it was made of.
A thought flashed through her mind, and she remembered that in novels, every time-traveling character had a cheat code. She immediately smeared some blood onto the bracelet: "Don't waste it, don't waste it, it's already done."
Jiang Yunning muttered to herself as she wiped the cloth.
Two seconds passed and nothing changed.
Just as she was making fun of herself, her vision suddenly blurred and her surroundings instantly changed.
Not far away stood a small wooden house, with a large expanse of fertile black soil in front of it. Before them flowed a gently moving spring, in which several fish swam.
"A cheat code!"
Jiang Yun Ning's eyes widened in surprise.
So such a thing that transcends reality really exists?
She paused for a moment, then slapped her head in frustration: "Yeah, I'm already wearing them, so I'm not surprised by anything anymore."
Jiang Yun Ning looked at the wound on her hand and couldn't help but put her hand into the spring water.
"Sure enough, the magical spring in the novel can cure diseases. It really didn't lie to me." She looked at the small wound on her hand, which was slowly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and no longer worried about tetanus.
Jiang Yun Ning's eyes flashed. Did that mean he could use the space to reach the pinnacle of life? The good days of getting rich and supporting male models were finally coming to him.
Just as she was getting excited, Aunt Hua, who had just left, started knocking on the door again: "Yun Ning! Yun Ning, come out quickly, the village chief and the slaves have arrived, hurry up!"
Jiang Yun Ning suddenly fell out of the space.
She wasn't mentally prepared at all. How come it's so fast? Wasn't it supposed to be afternoon?
"I heard them say that there were few people selected in the last village, so they were originally supposed to come in the afternoon, but they came in the morning instead." Aunt Hua grabbed her hand and tried to run outside.
Before she even left the house, the original owner's parents returned from outside.
"Where is she going, Aunt Hua?" Wang Cuihua asked, looking at her daughter who was being held back by Aunt Hua.
Aunt Hua said excitedly, "Yun Ning has agreed to buy a convict to marry. She's already at the village entrance; if she goes too late, she won't have a choice."
Wang Cuihua and Jiang Laosan were stunned for a moment, seemingly not quite understanding.
Is my daughter going to buy slaves?
Jiang Laosan excitedly threw down the hoe in his hand, abandoned the stove, took out his last two ounces of money for his coffin, grabbed Wang Cuihua's arm, and followed her.
Jiang Yunning was practically dragged along by Aunt Hua the whole way, and she didn't forget to observe the appearance of the village along the way.
Although it possesses the original owner's memories, they are not comprehensive. The original owner had never traveled far from home and knew nothing about anything outside of the town.
Jiang Yun Ning still needs to figure out everything outside on her own.
When we arrived at the village entrance, a crowd had already gathered.
Several officials stood beside the village head, with a group of men and women pressing down behind him.
The village headman shouted, "This batch of convict slaves consists of fifteen men and twelve women. Prioritize selecting the older villagers first."
"Village head! Let Yun Ning choose first!" Aunt Hua shouted, raising Jiang Yun Ning's hand.
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Yun Ning.
