Transmigration

On June 15, a sudden mudslide occurred in Tonggu Scenic Area of Beijing City in Province A. The disaster left many people injured, three people lost in contact, and there was still no news after the search.

Jiang Xia was left dumbfounded the moment the mudslide hit her. She would never have thought that the self-driving trip she had prepared to celebrate the end of her college entrance examination would become her family's grave.

The only thought that came to Jiang Xia's mind before her vision got blocked was, "If the heavens could give me another chance, I definitely would not choose to drive in the mountains."

At the same time, in the 1960s, a significant event also happened in Tong Shan Village.

It was mentioned that Jiang Chuan had taken his wife and daughter into the mountains to look for food, and no one had seen them since then. People assumed they had encountered some wild beast and died inside.

At this point, the person who spoke couldn't help but sigh. Everyone in the area knew that there were wild beasts in the mountains. Typically, for safety, no one would dare to go in. But since the drought, there has been a shortage of food, so no one cared about that. However, they would go in groups for peace of mind if they entered the mountains.

 "Ah, I've heard that Jiang Chuan's family is quite pitiful! Old lady Jiang said she would sell his second daughter if he couldn't find enough food for the family. " A peasant woman in a blue short-sleeved shirt sighed as she spoke.

Jiang Chuan's mother was ruthless, Jiang Xia was only thirteen years old. No wonder Jiang Chuan took the risk of entering the mountains.

Another woman, chatting with them, interjected, "Didn't Jiang Chuan already exchange a daughter for his nephew to get a wife? Now he's going to lose another one?"

It was pretty common to exchange a daughter for a daughter. Two families would swap their daughters and then let the new girl marry their son. It was killing two birds with one stone. Of course, the men of the two families gained from it, no one ever cared what the women's thoughts were.

Although the villagers felt that the exchange was normal, the old lady was too much. She had just exchanged one, and now she is thinking of the other one. 

"Even though Jiang Chuan's daughter is skinny, she looked gorgeous. I heard the old lady gained a lot of benefits from exchanging his eldest daughter, which is why she's so concerned about his second daughter recently. "

Hearing the peasant woman's words, a few families who did not believe in the same values showed looks of disdain. So the entire Jiang family was counting on Jiang Chuan?

The Jiang family was considered a large family in Tong Mountain Village. Jiang Chuan's father had three sons and two daughters, leaving him with many grandchildren. 

Usually, the youngest child, Jiang Chuan, should have been the family's favorite. However, for some reason, old lady Jiang did not like him, leading to his timid character.

After Jiang Chuan married his wife, Zhou Lan, they gave birth to only daughters. It was then that old lady Jiang started scolding his family. If not for the fact that Jiang Chuan had worked hard for the family without complaint, his family would have been chased out long ago.

Old lady Jiang had not cared for Jiang Chuan's daughters ever since they were born, but now that they had grown up to be elegant girls, she immediately thought of benefitting from them.

"Jiang Chuan's grandparents are so biased. They are plotting against Jiang Chuan's daughter." A man said in a disdainful tone. Although he said that, from the looks of the current year, others might follow suit if there was still no grain harvest.

 "Let's stop chatting and hurry up the mountain. We should start returning if we still can't find Jiang Chuan and his family!" The village chief shouted and began to call out to everyone.

Not everyone who came today was here to help look for Jiang Chuan. Some of them didn't know the situation and just wanted to join the group to see if they could pick up some scraps and get some food back. Incidentally, they listened to an ear of Jiang Chuan's family gossip.

On the other side, three people looked at each other by the extinguished bonfire deep in the mountains.

A Haggard-looking woman looked at the man beside her and then at the thin, petite girl with two pigtails. She called out with uncertainty, "Xiao Xia?"

"Mom?" the girl replied with a confused expression.

Only when Jiang Xia addressed her as 'mom' did Zhou Lan confirm she was indeed her daughter. At this moment, Jiang Chuan let out a heavy sigh and furrowed his brows. He was a little confused about the situation before him.

Didn't they almost get buried by the mudslide? Why did they suddenly become someone else?

 Abruptly, a loud laugh came from beside him, startling Jiang Chuan.

 "Xiao Xia, how did you become like this?" Zhou Lan asks Jiang Xia while laughing. Her daughter used to be the prettiest girl in school, and it was hard for her not to laugh when Jiang Xia's look changed.

Hearing her mother's words, Jiang Xia raised her eyebrows, which made her pitiful face look a little more lively. When she got closer, Jiang Xia got a better look at her face from the reflection in her mother's eyes. Following that, the memories that belong to this body also gradually entered her mind.

Jiang Xia felt a headache coming along, looking at her stern-looking father and her carefree mother smiling. 

"Dad, what do we do now?" Jiang Xia felt she should not expect much from her mother. She could only look at her father earnestly, hoping to see if he had any plans. But Jiang Chuan shook his head and sighed. There was nothing he could do in this situation.

Seeing that the father and daughter were about to fall into silence again, Zhou Lan laughed and said, "Since we're already here, let's not think too much. Sweetheart, I'm hungry. Can you make me something to eat?"

Jiang Chuan was helpless against his wife's overly optimistic personality. He nodded with a doting expression."Alright, I'll go get some food."
