Chapter 1

On May 13, 1960, it was the busy farming season. The members of the Daqiaowan Brigade under the Beihe Commune were busy.

Since last year, the weather has been dry and the fields have not harvested any grain, resulting in hunger for a whole year. The team members are counting on this seasons grain to be more productive, at least to get more grain than last year. So even though they were already hungry, tired, and exhausted, no one said they wanted to go home and rest.

When it was finally time to get off work, many people could not wait any longer and wandered out of the fields to eat big pot meals in the canteen of the brigade.

Speaking of big pot meals, the members of Daqiaowan Brigade began to miss the previous two years. At that time, the team started to eat big pot meals, and they had three meals a day in the canteen, with dry and liquid meals, vegetables and soup, and they were guaranteed to be full.

That year, everyone in the commune became fat. They had great energy to work.

As a result, within two years of this life, the food in the canteen became worse and worse. Especially since the severe drought last year, the grain production in the fields has seriously decreased. Now, let alone eating three meals. Eating two meals a day, eating some semi-dry and semi-liquid coarse grain porridge, they feel happy.

In this situation, many people began to starve. Those with good health can still hold on for a while. Those with poor health cant stand it.

Su Man, who was in the crowd, couldnt stand it anymore.

She had only been in this body for less than an hour, but she already felt that she was living a miserable life and was worse than death.

Even so, Su Man still didnt want to die. After all, she had died once before. After experiencing the feeling of death, she swore that unless she died of old age, she would live one more day.

Talking about her own death experience, Su Man regretted it very much now. Why didnt she learn a lesson? Knowing that doing good things would not have a good result, she still did it.

Her mother was cheated because she was kind-hearted and did good things. She took in her old classmates who were in trouble. After the divorce, she continued to do good things to support poor students. As a result, when she was sick, the parents of those students knew about it and turned off their phones and stopped contacting her. They were afraid that her mother would ask those students families for money for treatment. In the end, when her mother passed away, only her daughter was with her. People who have done good things all their lives ended up like this.

At that moment, Su Man saw clearly the fickleness of the world and vowed never to do good deeds again.

Just today, she had just negotiated a big deal with a client. Thinking of the commission she would get in the future, she was very happy, so she did a good deed and saved a child who was almost hit by an out-of-control car. Just this one thing...she got herself into trouble. Of course, before saving people, she didnt know that an out-of-control car would rush out. So after being hit, her first reaction was that she was really not suitable for doing good deeds.

Fortunately, there is always a way out. Suddenly, a saint system appeared, bound her soul, and said that it could revive her.

Su Man was still waiting to be resurrected on the spot, but the system was actually insufficient in energy and was sucked away by the black hole of the universe. When she woke up again, she had arrived in the 60s of Huaguo, Shuilanxing.

And she became a peasant girl who was about to starve to death.

As for the original owner, she was sent to another economically developed world by this weird system to enjoy life.

However, although you can enjoy a few days of happiness, there are risks. After all, the system can only guarantee that you will be sent to the body of a person who has just died. It is unknown whether it is a man or a woman, old or young.

The original owner may be really hungry and cant stand it. He agreed to go to that world to enjoy a few days of happiness without thinking about it. He said that it is worth it even if he dies after only a few days of good life. At least he once had...

Su Man did not choose to go to that place, but stayed in this body. Although it is a bit bitter, at least he can survive. One more day is one more day.

Just as she walked weakly towards the canteen of the brigade, a voice sounded in her mind, "Host, do good things and get good rewards. I hope you will become a saint soon."

This is the saint system that brought her to this world. Su Man would rather call it a weird system.

This system is said to come from another higher plane. The level of technology there has reached a very high level, but at the same time, human morality is increasingly lacking. Some conscientious scientists developed this Virgin Mary system, attempting to awaken the goodness deep in the hearts of humans in the form of rewards. Unfortunately, the system was just completed when one of the black-hearted scientists attempted to destroy it. By mistake, the system was sucked into a black hole. Then it wandered in the universe, and when it finally passed by the earth, it was running out of energy and urgently needed to bind to a host. It happened to encounter the scene of Su Man "heroically saving people", so it decided to bind to this kind host. Replenish its energy with her inner kindness.

Result...

The system without energy could only go with the flow and was swept away by the black hole again. This time, Su Man, the unlucky host, was also involved.

After coming to this era, the system has been urging her to do good things. As long as she does good things, the system can gain energy and realize more functions.

Unfortunately, Su Man didnt want to listen to it. At this moment, the most important thing for her was to eat. Only when she was full would she have the energy to think about other things.

She patted her head and said, "Let me eat something first. If I dont eat something, I will die again."

No wonder the original owner of this body chose to leave without hesitation. The original owners physical condition was really bad. He was a premature baby and his health was not very good. There was no way to get any supplements in the countryside, and it was good enough to have enough food. The past two years have been very difficult. Even if her family took her a bite to eat, she still couldnt eat enough. This body was ruined.

Su Man now urgently needs a bite to eat. Get strength from food.

As soon as she walked to the cafeteria, she saw a group of people gathered outside the cafeteria. There was also a noisy sound.

"You bastards are bullying a poor old woman like me. Whats the point of living? Im so pitiful. I lost my parents when I was young and was sold to someone as a child bride. The old society ruined me, and the new society didnt let me live a good life for two days. I cant even eat a meal after being bullied by you. What hope do I have? Im going to the capital to sue you!"

Su Man didnt want to watch the fun at this moment, she just wanted to eat, but these people blocked her way and she had to squeeze through.

It was hard to squeeze through the crowd. As soon as she squeezed to the front, she saw a thin old lady sitting on the ground crying.

The old lady was wearing a patched gray coat and a gray cloth on her head, which looked a bit like the old societys dress.

She cried softly and seemed to have suffered a lot of grievances.

There was always a familiar feeling when she looked at it. When Su Man was about to leave, she saw the old lady winking at her.

Before Su Man could react, a young man came in from outside the crowd. He was tall and thin, and his eyebrows and eyes were very similar to the old lady. They looked like mother and son. Su Man also felt that this man was familiar.

The young man nervously went to help the old lady who was sitting on the ground, "Mom, whats wrong with you? Didnt you come here to get food? Why are you sitting on the ground?"

Seeing that the people who cooperated had come, the old lady became excited and cried very sadly, "These middle peasants and rich peasants bullied the poor people in my family who were poor peasants for eight generations. They didnt let me go to the front when getting food, and deliberately made our family eat leftovers. They didnt even let us eat the bottom of the pot."

Su Man saw it, oh, it turned out that this was queue jumping.

However, Su Man did not make any comments on this kind of idle matter. She has always been indifferent and kept aloof.

The members who were watching were very dissatisfied with the old ladys behavior. They pointed and talked, but did not dare to say anything.

Su Man even noticed that these people looked at her intentionally or unintentionally, as if they were a little defensive, afraid that she had heard something.

The young man with the old lady shouted, "How dare you bully my mother like this? Do you think there is no one in our family? There are three brothers in our family, and my eldest sister is still studying in the commune high school. At worst, we will go to the commune to sue you middle peasants and rich peasants."

"Who is the middle peasant and rich peasant? Dont talk nonsense."

A middle-aged woman who served food came out with a big spoon. The woman looked a little energetic.

"Anyway, our family is poor peasants. Our family is the poorest in the whole team!" The old lady sat on the ground and wiped her tears, "If you dont let me serve food first today, I will go and sue you for bullying poor peasants."

Su Man: "..." At this time, being poor is also a kind of honor.

The onlookers: "..."

The woman serving food was so angry that her teeth itched, but she also knew that the old Su family was not a good thing. She really did go to the commune for such a small matter.

Besides, I didn’t know if I could eat today’s meal, so I had to grit my teeth and said, “Get up, get up, I’ll serve you first. Hurry up, don’t delay everyone’s meal.”

After this woman spoke, even if the others were not happy to be cut in line, they didn’t dare to say anything. As the saying goes, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot, and no one wants to be the first bird to stick its head out.

The old lady who had just cried with a weak face got up from the ground quickly, took a step and pointed at Su Man in front of the crowd, “Er Ya, what are you looking at, come and help quickly. You are a slow girl.”

Su Man saw her talking to herself, then looked around, and finally pointed at her face.

“Hurry up, what are you doing?” The old lady pulled her into the cafeteria.

Su Man: “…”

She said why she looked so familiar. Isn’t this the original owner, the mother of this body?

Led by the old lady, Su Man and the tall and thin young man walked out of the commune canteen together, and then accepted the open and covert pointing and criticizing of the crowd.

The old lady and the tall and thin young man were completely unaware, but Su Man felt a little unsteady.

She admitted that she was not a good person either, and she had used all kinds of tricks to grab business.

But she really had never done such a thing as queue-jumping. And she queue-jumped for such a small amount of porridge that could not be seen in color...

Su Man looked at the grain porridge in the basin several times, and the feeling of extreme hunger before actually felt much lighter.

No wonder the original owner wanted to leave...

On the way back, Su Man also sorted out the original owners memory.

The old lady was her biological mother Li Chunhua. And the tall and thin young man was Li Chunhuas third son Su Sanzhu. He is also Su Mans third brother now.

Old lady Li Chunhua is also an amazing person.

When she was a child, her parents died and she was sold to a troupe by her relatives. Later, she was found to have no talent. At the age of eight, she was sold to the old Su family to be a child bride to Su Tieshan, who was also eight years old. However, she was never bullied by her mother-in-law. Instead, she was very loved by her mother-in-law.

Because she was very good at acting.

According to the many boasts of old lady Li Chunhua, the original owner knew some of the acting experience in those years. For example, she pretended to be cute, filial, and admiring in front of her mother-in-law, and pretended to love her mother-in-law more than her own daughter. She often swore to be filial to her parents-in-law in her sleep. The old lady of the Su family was not bad to begin with, and after being sincerely acted by her, she quickly surrendered and treated her like her own daughter.

Then with this skill, she arrested her man, Comrade Su Tieshan. From time to time, she pretended to be wronged, weak, and affectionate... How could an honest man like Su Tieshan stand this? He would listen to the wind in the ears of this daughter-in-law for the rest of his life.

Of course, in addition to this, she is also very fertile. She gave birth to three sons and two daughters for the old Su family. The eldest son, Su Dazhu, is 25 years old this year. He has long been married to Lin Xueju from the Shanqian Brigade next door. When he came in, he gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. Now they are five years old. They are named Su Laixi and Su Laile respectively. Because the twins are difficult to raise, they are given the cheap names of Shitou and Xiaocao. The second son, Su Erzhu, is 23 years old. He also married Song Yuhua from the same brigade the year before last. When life started to get difficult last year, he gave birth to a daughter, Su Laimi, nicknamed Xiao Mi Li. As for Su Sanzhu, he is now 21 years old. He was originally going to marry a wife last year, but because the harvest was poor last year, the old lady was not happy to have one more person to eat, so he didnt marry. In addition, Su Man has an older sister, Su Qiuyue, who is now 18 years old. Because of her means, she actually went to the commune high school to study. And Su Mans own body is only 16 years old. Because of her weak body, her temperament is a bit silent. I only went to primary school and didnt go to the commune to attend middle school. I usually did some light farm work to earn some work points.

Just after sorting out the family members, the three of them arrived home.

Just after entering their own land When Li Chunhua went to the courtyard, she began to sigh, "Its really tiring to be the head of the family. I heard that there is less food today. The people in front can get a little more, but the people in the back will be tight. I spent so much effort to get more food for my family. I almost got beaten."

"Mom, who beat you? Tell me, I will go to them to settle the score later."

A dark-skinned little flat-headed man came out. It was Su Erzhu, the second son of the Su family. He looked like the old lady, with single eyelids, a high nose and a small mouth. If it werent for his dark skin, he would be handsome. But he has a bad temper and is usually a person who gets angry at the slightest thing outside.

There is another thing about him that Su Man looks down on, that is, he actually likes to yell at his wife. Scumbag!

"What are you still standing there for? Why dont you go and get some water for our mother?"

A timid woman came out from behind him and immediately went into the kitchen to help.

This is Song Yuhua, Su Mans second sister-in-law. She looks pretty good, gentle and virtuous, but unfortunately she met someone like Su Erzhu.

Su Man shook her head secretly, and without saying much, she followed the old lady into the house.

Because the original owner was not in good health and didnt like to talk, she was silent all the time, which didnt make people feel strange.

As soon as she entered the house, the old lady quickly pulled her to sit beside her, and then waited for her two daughters-in-law to serve her.

As a result, the second daughter-in-law Song Yuhua did move, but the eldest daughter-in-law Lin Xueju was as steady as a mountain.

Unlike Song Yuhuas timidity, Lin Xueju raised her head and chest, and her round face was full of confidence. Who made her mothers family so large and powerful, plus she gave birth to twins as soon as she entered the house, and now there is Song Yuhua to compare, so she naturally feels that she is extraordinary. And her husband Su Dazhu is still a wife who forgets his mother. So Lin Xueju is increasingly looking down on her mother-in-law at home.

The old lady immediately kicked her eldest son under the table. Su Dazhu looked like Su Tieshan, with a simple and honest face. He lowered his head in guilt.

Seeing her son so unpromising, Li Chunhua was very angry. She did not mention his name, but said to Su Tieshan who was smoking a dry pipe next to her, "His father, do you still remember how I served our mother in the past? You also told me that when I have a daughter-in-law, she will serve me. I dont have such a good life."

Su Tieshan knocked on the pipe and said to his son, "Your mother is not easy, you should be filial to her. I am still here."

Although Comrade Su Tieshan usually does not say anything, he controls the ownership of the house. If he is unhappy, he can drive all the unfilial sons out of the house. So his sons still listen to him.

Without Comrade Su Dazhu, who is a henpecked man, speaking, Lin Xueju went to help Song Yuhua carry the bowls and chopsticks to distribute them aggrievedly.

Li Chunhua stood up proudly like a victorious general, and then took a big iron spoon to distribute food to the family.

Except for Su Qiuyue, who was studying in high school in the commune, everyone else had arrived. Li Chunhua first served a portion of food to Su Tieshan. Then she served a bowl of porridge to Su Man. She served half a bowl to her eldest grandson Xiao Shitou and her eldest granddaughter Xiao Caoer. Then she began to serve food to her sons and daughters-in-law.

After getting the food, Su Dazhu poured a small half for his wife. Song Yuhua poured half for Su Erzhu. Su Sanzhu looked at Su Erzhu with envy, and then looked at Su Dazhu with relief.

Su Man: "..."

While eating, Lin Xueju mentioned the issue of dividing the house again.

The old Su family has many people, but not many houses. These were all built by Su Tieshan and Li Chunhua. At that time, in order to share the house and homestead, they traveled through mountains and rivers and followed the governments arrangement to migrate to this mixed production team to settle down. At that time, the children were still young, and they did not think about preparing wedding rooms for their future sons and rooms for their grandchildren.

Now the problem has come out.

The family is too poor to build a house. But there are more and more people. In the past, the boys of the old Su family slept in one room, and the girls slept in another room, and there was still a room left for firewood. It seemed very spacious. Now they are married and have children. The eldest child needs a room, the second child also needs a room, and the third child cant sleep with the eldest and second brothers, so he also needs a room. The sisters Su Man and Su Qiuyue also need a room. Now the rooms of the eldest and second children have been divided. The third child Su Sanzhu sleeps in the kitchen. It is temporarily stable. But Lin Xueju is still not satisfied. She feels that she has two children, and there will be more and more children in the second and third rooms in the future, and the house will definitely be more compact at that time. So she hopes that her family can get an extra room. The one they were looking at was naturally the room where Su Man and her sister lived.

"Mom and Dad, the elder sister and the younger sister will get married sooner or later, so why dont we let our little Shitou and Xiaocao live there first? They cant always be crowded with us. Anyway, the elder sister rarely comes back."

Before Su Man could speak, Su Erzhu was unhappy, "Then where will our children live in the future?"

Lin Xueju straightened her back and said, "Second brother, your son is still not here, so dont worry about him."

These words immediately made Su Erzhu feel like a thousand arrows pierced his heart.

Song Yuhua lowered her head even more.

Su Sanzhu rolled his eyes, "I say, you are too anxious. Dont you ask the elder sister and the younger sister what they think? I wont say anything about the younger sister, who asked the elder sister to agree?" He hasnt gotten married yet, so the room must be reserved for him.

Speaking of the elder sister Su Qiuyue, Lin Xuejus face changed.

Usually, the two sisters-in-law have a lot of disputes, and the elder sister-in-law Su Qiuyue is not easy to deal with.

At this time, the old lady Li Chunhua snorted coldly, "Im not dead yet, its not your turn to bully my daughter. Dont mention the house, get out if you mention it." Then she said softly to Su Tieshan next to her, "Old man, dont you think so?"

"Listen to your mother." Su Tieshan said hard.

Su Man had already finished a bowl of porridge with gritted teeth. Although it was unpalatable, her body did regain strength.

Judging from the performance of this group of people just now, Su Man felt that this family was really lively.

There are many problems in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, husband and wife, sister-in-law and brother... There will definitely be a lot of fun in the future. She has to find a way to take care of her life.

"Friendly reminder, since the host lives in a disharmonious environment. Now I will issue the first main task, hoping that the host can change the bad habits of family members and build a harmonious family."

Su Man: "...What if you cant do it? What is the punishment? I remember you said that you dont force the issuance of tasks."

"Yes, host, so if this task fails, there will be no punishment. After all, we are the Virgin Mary system, and the Virgin Mary cannot do anything bad."

Su Man was relieved. She didnt plan to do such a difficult and unpleasant thing. Disharmony has nothing to do with her.

Virgin Mary System: "If the task is completed, the body maintenance will be rewarded once. It can keep the hosts body at the healthiest level. Friendly reminder, based on the damage to the hosts body, the maximum life span will not exceed fifty years."

Su Man: "..."
