Family Life

"Sheng Wo, did you want to suicide yourself?" Ye Lin screamed

A woman who seemed mean and arrogant but yet elegant, approached herself and smiled sinfully.

"Mom, she must be going crazy!" Sheng Xi said with a sinister laugh

"Elder sister, please stop it! She said she did not know why." Sheng Lan replied in an innocent tone as she took the hands of her sister who was accused

Sheng Xi, eldest sister of the Sheng family. She often holds grudges against her little sisters and is getting married to a rich tradesman. She is the most beautiful woman in her village and is extremely arrogant and exigent especially on the slave girls.

Sheng Lan, youngest sister and child in the family. She is the favorite of her mom and is extremely sweet with everyone. Everybody dotes Sheng Lan because of her warm and gentle character and also because she is the youngest.

"Lan, get out of it! We are talking as adults here." Sheng Xi replied angrily

Sheng Lan clutched to her sister and started crying.

"I don't want the second sister to go," she said hiding her face on the dresses of Sheng Wo

"What are you talking about?" they all said confused

"Last time, I heard you saying that you will marry my sister to the man who will do the best affairs in the business family with father," she explained with a somber face

"What!?" their mother shouted as if she was guilty of something

"No, sweetheart! We can't do that." Their mother quickly answered wiping away the anger in her face

"Slave girls! Take the young ladies to their rooms and bake them cakes." Their mother said as she was heading to her husband for a talk

"Yes, Lady Ye!" They said with a bow as they sent the girls to their rooms

"This is it again, I will have to suffer once more." Sheng Wo thought sadly turning her face down

"Honey! Sheng Wo did not have to know about this. What should we do?" she asked worriedly

Humm... "We will have to marry her quickly then," he said as he was walking to the door to observe the twilight

"We still do not have a good dealer in our hands." The woman said as she approached her husband holding his hand

Sheng Li Mu took his hands and held the small face of his wife romantically.

"In one year, she will be of age to marry and there is a good dealer, a young brave man who really pleases me." he explained

"I think we can give her in marriage in one year to that man." he said as he stared at her eyes

"This is a very good idea!" she replied sparkling

"Don't worry, I know you are stressed about your daughters." He hugged her tightly

Sheng Wo's room was spacious and had a large window. She had a little bed with a cupboard and a study frame.

She tiptoed from her room to the dark hall to hear what they were saying as the maid left to take some bakery for her.

"I'm going to marry in one year? To someone, I don't know or took time to meet!?" She exclaimed shocked

"No wonder, this lady tried to suicide in the river," she murmured peeking at the discussion

"She may have realized she was just a marriage pawn?" she asked herself thoughtfully

"Lady Wo!" Ren Ren called

Huh!?

"Ren Ren, it's you!" She patted her shoulder

"Lady, it is not good to peek at the discussion of your parents. You may be punished!" She exclaimed

Sheng Wo was silent for a moment and realized she had revived in the body of an ancient woman who faced marital and financial struggles.

"Ren, I need to listen! Forgive me," she said continuing to listen to their conversation

My lady if you have to be punished, I will be punished with you and ...

"Shh!"...

"If she marries the man, we may have a very beautiful bride price what do you think?"...

Huh!? Unbelievable! How can they be that ungrateful to their daughters? she murmured angrily

"Why are they so prompt to marry their daughters and why with business people?"...

Tomorrow, Sheng Wo will help me with the farm accounts and her brother will assist in the functions. I will be on-farm all day and she will have to assist her future husband in trade affairs.
