Gurgle, gurgle.
In the dimly lit room, a large wooden barrel was filled with warm water.
In the water, the black strands of hair floated around, moving with the ripples, and then there was a long quiet moment...
Suddenly, with a 'splash', a chubby girl poked her head out.
"Pfft——"
She spat out a mouthful of cloudy water, wiping the hair from her face. On Lin Caisang's face, there was an expression of helplessness and confusion.
The confusion came from the fact that she, a modern person, had unexpectedly time-traveled back to the past!
The helplessness was because her grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins all adored her to the point where they would present all the delicious foods to her.
Moreover, there was her biological elder brother who was willing to starve himself just to offer her better meals.
And the kind-hearted villagers, who treated her like a rare panda, showering her with protection and love, making her feel full almost every moment.
Gradually, she grew to become a chubby girl, weighing over 160 pounds, although she was only thirteen years old.
Thinking of this, Lin Caisang pinched herself, feeling so helpless that she even thought of slicing off her own flesh to fry and eat!
The reason everyone spoiled her so much was very simple, because...
Two years before the original host's birth, there was a severe drought. The crops failed, and the people were so desperate they had to eat tree bark and roots to survive. They were just short of eating dirt.
However, the moment the original host was born, her first cry prompted the heavens to send thunder and rain, saving everyone's lives.
So, the original host's Grandpa Lin Laogeng and Grandma Ms.Lu of the Lin family took the original host and her fraternal twin brother to have their futures told.
She was told to be a reincarnated star of wealth and fortune. Everyone who treated her well, whether family or friends, would be blessed with a bit of her good fortune.
In short, she was a person of great fortune.
However, for her elder brother, who was born just moments apart from her, there was no such prediction. He was just an ordinary person!
Therefore, because that heavy rain saved everyone, not just her family, but even the whole village regarded her as their lifesaver. They would always give half of what they had to the original host.
The original host was indeed spoiled into a chubby girl by them.
Furthermore, the original host was a real food lover, spending her life doing only five things - eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, sleeping!
"I need... some peace!"
At this moment, Lin Caisang looked at her chubby reflection in the water. She really needed some time alone, otherwise...
'Knock, knock.'
There were knocks at the door. Followed by that, her grandmother's concerned voice echoed.
"Sangsang, are you done washing? You shouldn't soak too long, you'll get dizzy."
"Almost done."
Lin Caisang replied and, after gathering her thoughts, she added another sentence.
"Grandma, this isn't Second Aunt's fault. Let her go home, it's cold outside, and she's been kneeling. Also, I don't want to see her."
The fragments of memories in her head made her clear about the reason the original body had died. Actually, it was because of her 'kind' Second Aunt who couldn't bear the sight of her being pampered by many people, and had secretly sold her off!
Moreover, she was sold to a seriously ill man for marriage!
What was even worse - today, the very day of the wedding, after the groom from the Chen Family coughed up blood and died at the wedding hall, her 'kind' Second Aunt, Liu Rumei, watched as the Chen family members tied her up and buried her alive in the forest!
