Chapter 2
Chapter 2: Adapting to Her Identity
On the contrary, her predecessor’s clumsy body didn’t land on steady feet when she fell, causing her head to hit the stool.
And then, she died.
Next, when she opened her eyes again, it was the post-apocalyptic Qin Xiaoyao, who took over this body.
At the thought of this, Qin Xiaoyao was grateful for her predecessor’s actions, but at the same time, she was a little speechless.
Damn it, she herself didn’t plan things out well and got scammed by the traveling doctor, yet she pinned the blame on the Song family and even went up against them.
It wasn’t easy for her to be with the person she liked. It could be considered a stage victory even if it was a forced union.
If she was smart, shouldn’t she seize the opportunity and quickly win over her attractive husband’s family?
Her attractive husband had agreed to the marriage for the sake of his mother and siblings.
In the future, for their sake, he would also become a true husband to her.
The two of them were already legally wedded. As long as they put their heart into it, many things would take their natural course sooner or later.
Her predecessor thought she was smart, but in fact, in Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes, she was really stupid.
Back to reality.
Qin Xiaoyao’s expression softened as she looked at Song Yun.
“Yes, Yun’er? You’re looking for me?”
Hearing Qin Xiaoyao’s gentle voice, Song Yun’s trembling subsided a little.
“The food… food is ready. Mother told me to ask… ask Sister-in-law to go out and eat,” the little girl stammered.
She also took the chance to check what was happening here.
Earlier, Sister-in-law was quarreling with Big Brother (it was, in fact, only Sister-in-law’s voice shouting), and then the whole house shook.
After that, Sister-in-law emitted a frightening sound, and even the roof beams trembled.
They were all very worried that something would happen to their Big Brother.
Now, Song Yun saw that only a beam was broken in her Big Brother’s room, and he himself was fine.
Her heart was finally at ease.
Qin Xiaoyao felt a little hungry after hearing that.
“Alright, let’s go.” She smiled at Song Yun.
She even went up to hold Song Yun’s hand.
The little girl instinctively evaded her touch.
Then, she saw Qin Xiaoyao looking at her.
She could only muster up the courage and force herself to put her small hand back into Qin Xiaoyao’s hand.
Qin Xiaoyao smiled and pulled Song Yun along as she walked out.
At this moment, Song Yun was very nervous.
Sis… sister-in-law was actually holding her hand? She even smiled at her?
Was she thinking of doing something bad again?
Qin Xiaoyao noticed the look in Song Yun’s eyes, but she still smiled kindly.
A bad image could not be changed overnight. She had patience.
As she pulled Song Yun through the door, Qin Xiaoyao suddenly remembered something.
Then, she turned around and looked at Song Que, who was lying on the bed.
Song Que was watching her and Song Yun at this moment.
Just like that, Qin Xiaoyao and Song Que’s eyes met again.
Qin Xiaoyao could feel her heart beating faster.
His eyebrows were arching towards his temples while his eyes were as elegant as mist. His nose bridge was sharp and straight, and his lips were like cherry blossoms… Her attractive husband was truly a gorgeous looking specimen.
It was just that his face was a little pale, giving this guy the appearance of a sickly beauty.
Unfortunately, her attractive sweetheart’s eyes were filled with disgust very quickly.
And the person he was disgusted with was herself…
“Ahem, I’ll bring food to you later,” Qin Xiaoyao said and wiped away the breathtaking sensation she felt in her eyes.
Song Que’s eyes flashed with a glint of oddness.
He turned over, showing his back to Qin Xiaoyao.
Song Yun peeked at Qin Xiaoyao worriedly, afraid that her Sister-in-law would scold him like she always did.
In the past, whenever Big Brother made Sister-in-law angry, Sister-in-law would scold him and even vent her anger on them.
Therefore, even if Big Brother didn’t like Sister-in-law, he normally didn’t provoke her too much.
However, Big Brother had just injured his leg, so it was inevitable that he would be in a bad mood.
This made Sister-in-law’s already bad mood even worse than before.
“Let’s go, Yun’er.” Much to her surprise, Qin Xiaoyao simply smiled and continued to speak in a gentle tone.
Song Yun was slightly surprised, but she obediently left with Qin Xiaoyao.
The two of them went to the kitchen shed next door.
In the kitchen, Qin Xiaoyao’s current mother-in-law, Madam Liu, and brother-in-law, Song Ye, were both present.
As Qin Xiaoyao arrived, the two of them instantly tensed up.
Even Madam Liu didn’t dare to look up at Qin Xiaoyao.
There was no reason other than that Qin Xiaoyao was used to acting like a tyrant in the Song family. She would often say that her dowry had been squandered by the Song family.
As for the dowry, well, it was the eighty taels of silver that the traveling doctor had swindled from her.
At that point, Qin Dazhuang’s second wife, Madam Zhang, saw that her predecessor could not get the silver back, so she urged Qin Dazhuang to count the eighty taels of silver as her predecessor’s dowry.
As a result, her predecessor married into the Song family with practically nothing.
The Song family was poor, and so was she. Of course, she led a hard life.
Madam Liu didn’t know that the traveling doctor was a swindler. She only thought she had spent all the money on her dead husband. She felt that she was in the wrong and felt that she was inferior.
Moreover, she was a mild-mannered person who had an innate fear of her big-sized predecessor, so she didn’t dare to confront her.
“Mother, Ye’er.” Qin Xiaoyao laughed as she called out to them.
The mother and son trembled and did not reply.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t get angry. “I’ll bring the food to my husband first. Mother, please help me scoop it up.”
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to do it herself, but ever since her predecessor had married into this family, Madam Liu and her two children had been in charge of the cooking.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t even know where the kitchenware was kept.
Madam Liu was shocked again.
“Alright,” she quickly responded.
Then, she went to get the food.
A while later.
She placed a bowl of wild vegetables, a bowl of watery rice porridge, and a pair of chopsticks into Qin Xiaoyao’s hands.
Qin Xiaoyao looked at the bland, meager food in her hands and sighed in her heart.
It was really very plain food. Although it was better than what she had during the apocalyptic world, it was not comparable to the food Qin Sanya had in the Qin family.
The Qin family was a butcher that slaughtered pigs and sold meat. They had never lacked meat to eat.
This was one of the main reasons Qin Sanya had become so fat.
“I’ll bring the food to my husband first. Mother, you guys eat first.” After saying that, Qin Xiaoyao turned around and left.
The three people in the kitchen were stunned.
They exchanged glances with each other, then sat down at the table.
However, no one had the courage to eat first.
Qin Xiaoyao brought the rice and vegetables (let’s call it rice for now) to the room next door.
Song Que, who was lying on the bed, heard Qin Xiaoyao coming in to deliver food, but he didn’t even turn around.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t get angry. Instead, she felt like laughing.
“Honey, it’s time to eat.” With a doting look in her eyes, she gently called out to the person on the bed.
This was her husband, which even her predecessor had failed to conquer.
Hehe, he would be hers from now on.
In her previous life, she had been a tomboy for twenty-three years and was single until she died.
Now that she had transmigrated, although she had become a fat ass, she had become two years younger.
Moreover, she had drawn a bonus card of an attractive husband at the start! He was still an eighteen-year-old pretty boy!
Simply thinking about it was such a beautiful feeling.
[Off-topic: this novel’s setting is that after transmigrating, the feelings of the predecessor will be attached, and it will take a long time to wear them out. So, don’t be surprised by the fact that the female lead liked the male lead from the beginning. That’s because she’s just like her predecessor. She’s too obsessed with the male lead’s looks!]
Song Que frowned and did not respond.
He simply pretended he didn’t hear it.
Qin Xiaoyao smiled but wasn’t angry.
She placed the food on the bedside cabinet.
“Then I’ll put it down here. Honey, you should eat it quickly later while it’s still hot.”
After speaking, she looked at Song Que with a longing look and turned to leave.
