Also I know this was the 80s, but 80s China was still catching up with a lot of modern technologies especially in rural areas

My guess is that since she can’t have children her brother sent his daughter to live with her aunt. If they are a patriarchal family they won’t care much about the daughter and their daughter can basically go to school, eat, and dress with no cost to them at the aunt’s house. Plus in general in agricultural societies people typically had many children and it wasn’t that uncommon to adopt a child to a relative who can’t have children because children were the only old age care plan for most of human history

Even if it’s too fast for the police to arrive most hospitals have security

Especially in such a highly patriarchal society where the person who will probably be blamed is the wife for not being “good enough to keep her man” 🤢🤮

Its only good because the 4th was earning money for them😤

How much you wanna bet she is currently pregnant and needs a scapegoat for the baby?

Plus FL wouldnt know the answer to any of these questions about society or legal affairs, the person she is inhabiting was an unfavored rural farm girl with an intellectual disability so she wouldn’t have been privy to any of this information

We also don’t know what kind of rights women have in this particular dynasty. Are they even allowed to do business or own property? If you get a divorce are you able to move to an independent household or do you move back to your parents household? Do women have rights to accept or refuse a marriage or can they basically be sold by their male family members at will? Is slavery legal? If her husband wanted to sale her as a slave would she have the right to refuse?

The names are swapped

Or he’s just taken so many beatings from his abusive parents that he learned to stay silent when in pain

Loada is the eldest son

I just realized what is going on. Wang Ru read a novel when Xue Han was the female protagonist then transmigrated into a character of that novel and used her knowledge as a transmigrator to essentially replace the protagonist. Zhulan read a novel about this world after Wang Ru transmigrated here where Wang Ru was the protagonist, the reason she keeps calling Xue Han the heroine is because that is how the novel featuring Wang Ru described her because Xue Han was the heroine of the novel that Wang Ru read. It’s basically like this world is on its third iteration. The first iteration is the version where no one transmigrated and Xue Han was the protagonist. The second iteration is where Wang Ru transmigrated and she herself is the protagonist. The third iteration is the current story.

Laosan=3rd Laosi=4th

Why do you think they owed you anything? Your not even related other than living near each other and it’s well known by everyone that your families don’t even get along. 😩🤣

FL’s body is only 37 and her soul is only 27, I’m pretty sure Wang Ru’s soul is a modern times transmigrator. So if she was 30 or 40 she likely wasn’t a grandma, because it’s less common to be a grandma in modern times that young, but not impossible

Overall there are 6 children of the original couple. He is talking about the 3rd son and 4th son. The 3rd son is like 14 and the 4th son is like 11. They are both studying so they haven’t been in many scenes. Plus the 1st (21) and 2nd (20) sons aren’t in many scenes because they are working in the family fields. The eldest daughter hasn’t been met yet because she was already married at the time of transmigration and obviously the little girl we keep meeting is the youngest of the kids. I believe there are also 4 existing grandchildren and one baby on the way between the first and second sons

Probably random villagers, it already said that rumors were flying around the village that the dad is on his deathbed

It is her daughter, it’s a wierd phrasing but she is referring to herself as mother

It could be a translation error?

How ridiculous thta she needs to do anything more tan just say we aren’t suited and be on her way. I can see why this guy looks okay isn on paper but doesn’t have any actual women willing to date him.
