"Get up! Don't play dead here! Even if you're really dead, get that contract out!" A sharp voice reached Yang Xiayue's ears, followed by someone kicking her. The intense pain made her open her eyes angrily.

"Let go of my sister!" Yang Sanyi ran up and tugged at Ma Shi.

Ma Shi didn't expect Yang Sanni to dare resist him, so he attacked her, striking her twice heavily on the chest.

Yang Xia Yue just woke up and didn't know what happened, but seeing that middle-aged man beating a thin little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, she angrily shouted, "Stop!"

Then Yang Xiayue scrambled to her feet and rushed forward, wanting to protect Yang Sanni.

Ma saw this scene and immediately had an idea. He grabbed Yang Sannini's thin shoulder, sneered, and asked, "Aren't you the most protective of this little loser? Show me the marriage certificate, and I'll stop, or else I'll beat you to death today!"

At that moment, I first realized that I was dead, and then I came alive in someone else's body.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Then, memories of the original owner surged into his mind.

My great-aunt Ma, in order to help her son steal the marriage that rightfully belonged to the original owner, humiliated and schemed against her, causing her to fall ill and die at a young age.

Yang Xiayue, after learning about these things, found it hard to understand. How could there be such cruel relatives in the world?

She looked at Ma coldly, and Ma was startled by Yang Xia Yue's gaze. An uneasy feeling spread in his heart. He had never seen that kind of look in Yang Xia Yue before.

But she had been bullied by Yang Xiyue for so long that she wouldn't be intimidated by such eyes. So at this moment, in order to dispel the uneasiness in her heart, she raised her hand and slapped Yang Sanni while shouting angrily, "I'll kill you..."

Before she could finish her words, Yang Xiayue rushed over, grabbed Ma Shi's hair, and with all her might, knocked her to the ground.

Yang Xiayue continued Ma's words, saying: "I think the most despicable person should be you! Today I must beat you to the point where your teeth are scattered all over the floor!"

Ma Shi was taken aback at first, then reached out with his backhand to strike Yang Xiayue. Yang Sanni, seeing this, also charged over with a fierce look in her eyes.

The two sisters worked together to hold the horse firmly in place.

"Let me go! The world is upside down! You just wait, I'll have you all sold tomorrow!" Ma never expected that his usually meek sisters would turn against him like this.

Yang Xiayue pulled hard at Ma Shi's hair. This old witch was too shameless! To be honest, the original owner was too naive; otherwise, she wouldn't be bullied like this.

Although the two sisters were still sick, the force of their silence after that outburst was immense. Ma, facing them both alone, couldn't gain an advantage and eventually found a chance to break free. She stormed off, muttering: "You just wait! If you don't bring the marriage contract, don't expect me to send you any more food! Just wait until you die!"

Yang Xiayue didn't take Ma's threat seriously at all. She sat on the ground, catching her breath, and slowly thought about what had happened.

It's true, I crossed over. I became someone with the same name and surname as myself. As for the original owner of this body, he was a miserable person.

The original owner's father went out to repair the city wall six months ago and died outside. The mother went out to collect his body but has been gone for three months with no news. Everyone says that the mother is also gone, because they haven't divided the family property yet, so three sons are left in the house, along with Grandmother Yang and the large household of the Yang family.

Now that she has come of age, her arranged marriage from years ago is finally taking place. However, the original owner's death was directly caused by this marriage.

The marriage was arranged with Zhao Ting, a man from the same village. Zhao Ting came from a poor family, and when his engagement to Yang Xia Yue’s family was proposed, it was her grandfather who made the arrangement. The betrothal letter only mentioned Yang's granddaughter without specifying which one. No one in the Yang family wanted to give their daughter away to him. In the end, this burden fell upon Yang Xia Yue, the least favored among them.

To everyone's surprise, Zhao Ting had recently passed the imperial examination and become a Xiucai, his future looked bright. Yang Xiayue's aunt and cousin became envious and decided to try and snatch him away as a husband for their own family.

Then, the original owner and her younger sister inexplicably broke out in rashes and were driven to the kiln outside the village. Just now, Mrs. Ma came again to get Yang Xiayue's betrothal letter. Yang Xiayue was already sick, and being stimulated like this, she fainted. Then she crossed over.

Yang Sanni saw Yang Xiyue staring blankly outside and became worried. "Sister? We just hit our aunt, I'm worried something might have happened?"

Yang Sannini felt more and more afraid as she thought about it, wondering where she had gotten the courage from.

Yang Xia Yue came to her senses and stroked Yang San Ni's hair: "Don't be afraid, nothing will happen." Even if they didn't beat up the Ma family, the Ma family wouldn't treat them sisters well anyway.

It's better to let them see your abilities and have them learn some humility!

Yang Sanni made sure Yang Xiyue was really alright, then her eyes turned red: "Sister, when you collapsed just now, I thought you were dead..."

Yang Xiayue had a moment of hesitation. The original owner was indeed dead. She softly comforted, "Don't cry, I'm fine."

The rash on my skin was a bit itchy, making me uncontrollably want to scratch. I rolled up my sleeve and looked at the small red spots on my arm. In the end, I controlled myself and didn't scratch them. Rashes like this can't be scratched. I was a doctor in my past life, though I was a Western medicine practitioner, I still knew this basic common sense.

Yang Xiayue first glanced at the environment where the two people were. It was a rudimentary earthen hut, low and cold. It was early spring, and the cold wind howled outside. They could only stay in this earthen hut.

Seeing Yang Sanni with tears on her face, he felt pity in his heart. As he walked out, he said, "Sanni, wait for me here. I'll go get you some water."

If we could also find some wild vegetables to fill our stomachs, it would be even better. Otherwise, relying on the Yang family to send us food, both of my sisters and I would starve to death.

The rain has stopped now, but the sky is still overcast, and it's still gloomy outside.

Following the original owner's memory, he went to the stream nearby and scooped up some water. He looked around and saw no one, so he opened his collar, took out a handkerchief, dipped it in water, and dabbed at the rash on his neck. The spring water was icy cold, and he felt much better.

"Woof, woof..." A series of barks came from somewhere, unknown.

Yang Xia Yue followed the sound and saw a small black dog huddled sadly in the reeds, with a fishing trap caught on its paw.

The little black dog saw people but didn't bite, just made a faint sound.
