This girl is too thin, she's not easy to raise, at most five taels of silver!

"Big sister, these five ounces are too little. Add a bit more..."

"Bah, do you really think your little girl is some kind of wealthy Miss? Five taels, huh?"

"Line by line, five taels is five taels!"

In a hazy state, Lin Xi heard two people talking beside her. Before she could even think, there was a loud crash as the door burst open, followed by a man's angry roar.

"Lily Lanhua! You're not even human! You sold your own child—Slap!"

"Oh! Lin Dashi, you dare to hit me? I'll fight you to the death!"

Then came a flurry of flying fists and furious shouts, interspersed with the crashing sounds of furniture being overturned and shattered porcelain.

Lin Xi was driven mad by these sounds, desperately trying to open her eyes, but all she saw was a gray thatched ceiling and yellow mud walls.

What is this...?

Don't you remember, just a moment ago you were on your way to receiving the lifetime medical achievement award?

That's right!

It seems there was a car accident. To avoid an elderly person crossing the road, the car overturned and fell under the guardrail. The impact was so severe that it exploded.

So, it should be blown to pieces, right?

Before Lin Xi could figure out what was going on, a shadow struck her forehead, causing excruciating pain. She fainted again.

When Lin Xi opened her eyes again, it was three days later.

The past three days have been a blur, but I've finally integrated all the memories into my mind and realized that I've traveled through time.

She was transported to an unknown dynasty called Nanguo, and became a twelve-year-old girl named Lin in the village of Qing Shui Zhen.

This child's original owner was Lin Xi, but there was something special about her. She was born with a foolish disposition, and even at the age of twelve, her intelligence was comparable to that of a three-year-old. The villagers always treated her as an idiot, and except for her father, none of her relatives cared for her.

And the most vicious one among them, she would often find opportunities to make things difficult for her. She was content with eating stale porridge, and if she felt angry, she'd take it out on her, constantly scolding and beating her, leaving no part of her body unscathed. Even in the middle of winter, she would force her to wash clothes by the river.

What would a fool wash? Several times, the poor little girl almost fell into the water and drowned, but luckily she was fortunate enough to escape each time.

Perhaps the naive little girl didn't understand the meaning behind her mother's actions. Outsiders would merely say a few words about Li Lanhua being heartless, torturing a child in the dead of winter. But Lin Xi recalled something the original owner had overheard by chance.

Li Lanhua cursed, "How unlucky am I? I didn't even manage to drown."

He probably wanted to use this opportunity to make the original owner drown themselves, that way he wouldn't have to get his hands dirty and cause trouble, and it would also solve the problem of this burden.

If she really dies then, Li Lanhua can just say it wasn't me who pushed her and get away with it.

Seeing that her own daughter had reached marriageable age, this woman, whose reputation was tarnished, found the foolish girl still alive and hatched another wicked scheme. She planned to sell the girl to Liu Yuanwai, the town's official, whose son was equally dim-witted, as his foster daughter. Not only would she be rid of a troublesome burden, but she could also get five taels of silver for free.

To prevent any trouble, they gave the fool a sedative before the go-between arrived, so he could reach Liu's house quietly. However, it seems they gave him too much medicine, and the already weak fool passed away without a sound.

Lin Xi subconsciously felt that after reading so many dog-blood novels, she had never seen a mother as vicious as Li Lanhua.

Just as he was sighing, the curtain was opened and Lin Dashan walked in.

Seeing the little boy open his eyes, the tall man's eyes turned red, and he mumbled.

"Little, Little Creek, you're finally awake!"

Actually, Lin Da Shan's age is about the same as Lin Xi from his past life. Facing someone who is psychologically similar to him in age, it was really hard for Lin Xi to call him "father".

But the eyeball wasn't looking at him, it was exactly the same as Lin Xi from before, so Lin Da Shan didn't think much of it.

Only keep chanting "Amitabha Buddha" in my heart.

Thank goodness, the girl was saved.

He placed the medicine bowl in his hand on the cabinet, then carefully helped Lin Xi up. "Little Xi, come here, this is the medicine Dad has boiled for you. Drink it obediently, and the wound on your head will be healed."

The Chinese medicine was bitter, so Lin Dashan also prepared a jujube to coax the child who didn't understand.

Before it was even handed to him, Lin Xi took the bowl with his own hand. After sniffing the contents, he realized they were medicinal herbs for treating bruises and sprains. Then, he gulped down the bitter medicine in one go.

Lin Dashan was stunned, his expression somewhat foolish as he stared at Lin Xi.

Lin Ximei didn't even frown, she handed the empty bowl to Lin Dashi with a glance, signaling him to finish his drink.

"Xiao, Xiao Xi? You..." He only then came to his senses, staring dumbfoundedly at Lin Xi.

He didn't know why, but he always felt that the child in front of him seemed a little different. But if he really had to say something specific, he couldn't put it into words.

Lin Xi touched the painful wound on her forehead and said to Lin Dashan, "Father, I don't think I'm stupid anymore."

“I don’t know what’s going on, maybe I got hit in the head and became smarter.” He said this with a smile, not the foolish grin he used to have. This smile was gentle and well-behaved.

Lin Dashan's fingers trembled with excitement, tears welling up in his eyes. He didn't care about anything else, focusing intently on Lin Xi, his gaze unwavering, afraid to blink for fear that if he did, the awake girl would disappear.

Lin Xi obediently let him look her over. After a long while, Lin Da Shan lovingly pulled Lin Xi into his arms and choked out, "Good! Good girl! Father's good girl!"

"The little stream is no longer foolish, no longer foolish!"

He laughed and cried, his unshaven face looking a little ferocious. His clothes probably hadn't been washed in a while, emitting a foul smell, but Lin Xi didn't find it disgusting. Instead, a warm feeling surged through her heart.

In his previous life, Lin Dashi's parents died in a plane crash when he was very young. He had never received any comfort from close relatives since then. However, Lin Dashi has rediscovered the long-lost feeling of paternal love.

Lin Xi silently vowed in her heart that she would definitely repay Lin Dashan well in the future.

As for Li Lanhua, she would naturally avenge the original owner.
