"I heard that the third son of the Zhou family fell down the mountain this afternoon?"

"That's right. He broke his legs and was just brought to the city for treatment. His legs and body were covered in blood. It was scary."

"Why is he so unlucky? There were so many people who went up the mountain together with him, but no one else fell. How on earth did he fall?"

"That's right."

"In my opinion, there's nothing to complain about. If there's anything to complain about, it's because his family has a jinx!"

"You don't say, it's true! Look at how rich the Zhou family was when they first settled in our village. They bought fields and bought shops. Ever since that jinx was born, the Zhou family started its downfall."

…

In an instant, the news of how the third son of the Zhou family broke his leg spread throughout Boyu Village.

At this moment, the Zhou family was in a mess.

The men at home, Old Zhou and Zhou Fugui, asked for help from a few burly men in the village to carry the injured Zhou Fuchun to the city.

The third daughter-in-law, Madam Zhu, also went to the city to take care of her injured husband.

Only the old, weak, women, and children were at home with the foolish eldest son, Zhou Yu.

The jinx that the villagers were talking about was Zhou Yu's eldest daughter. At this moment, she was curled up in Zhou Yu's arms and did not move.

"My head hurts. It's so noisy around me…" she thought.

Zhou Xiaoli felt that her head was hurting from the noise. She wanted to flare up, but she did not even have the strength to open her eyes.

She struggled and finally opened her heavy eyelids. What greeted her eyes was a firm and warm chest.

In an instant, memories surged into her mind.

Had she reincarnated into a dead body?

She was originally a small carp living in the lotus pond in Immortal Tai Yi's courtyard. As she often listened to Immortal Tai Yi preach the beliefs of Taoism, she was able to cultivate a body.

She crossed the Dragon Gate in one day and was on the verge of achieving her Way, but she could not break through for a long time. After being enlightened by Immortal Tai Yi, she realized that she needed to enter the 3,000 small worlds to undergo tribulations.

Be it the Immortal World or the Underworld, they all evolved with the times. The so-called 3,000 small worlds were life books written by the Siming Star Lord for immortals who had to descend to the Mortal World to undergo tribulations.

It was exactly the same as the novels she secretly read from the Internet in the Mortal World.

Hence, she pulled some favors and asked Star Lord Si Ming to write an easy life book for her to undergo tribulations.

With that, she happily went to the Mortal World to undergo her tribulation.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to reincarnate, an otherworldly soul beat her to it!

After losing her chance to reincarnate, she could only travel aimlessly in the book world as a ghost.

With that, she has been like this for 10 years.

Today, her soul was suddenly summoned by something unknown and she floated here uncontrollably before losing consciousness. When she opened her eyes again, she had entered this body.

Did she reincarnate successfully?

However, her age at reincarnation was a little old.

The original owner of this body was also called Zhou Xiaoli. She was 10 years old this year and was famous in Boyu Village for being a jinx.

It was said that she jinxed her father, Zhou Yu, to become a fool and her own mother to be perpetually sick. She even jinxed her brother to become a mute. And now, she jinxed Zhou Fuchun to fall down the mountain and broke his leg.

This completely angered her mean grandmother, Lai Jinniang.

At this moment, Lai Jinniang was in a fit of anger because of this matter. She let her grandchildren bully Zhou Xiaoli and her younger siblings.

Zhou Xiaoli was bullied the most as she was trying to protect her younger brother and sister. She even took a hit from Lai Jinniang herself. At this moment, her body still burned with pain whenever she moved.

It could be seen how ruthless the beating was!

Fortunately, her silly father, Zhou Yu, rushed up from behind and protected her in his arms. He used his sturdy back to block all the beatings so that she would not be further injured.

At this moment, Lai Jinniang was shouting at Zhou Yu.

"Damn it, you unfilial thing. How dare you disobeyed me for these little b*tches!"

"I worked so hard to bring you up and this is how you repay your mother!"

Lai Jinniang pointed at Zhou Yu's nose as she yelled. Even as she scolded him, her anger did not subside. She took the rod and hit Zhou Yu repeatedly.

She beat him up as she yelled. "I took care of you for 20 plus years. Even a dog would have wagged its tail at me in gratitude! You are an unfilial and ungrateful thing; you're worse than a dog!"

"Had we known that you're such an unfilial thing back then, your father and I shouldn't have picked you up. We should have let you die by the roadside!"

Zhou Yu did not make a sound nor resist when he was beaten up like this. He silently endured the vicious beatings and only hugged Zhou Xiaoli tightly in his arms, afraid that she would be hurt.

The reason why Lai Jinniang was so angry was because Zhou Yu had accidentally pushed her a little as she was beating Zhou Xiaoli viciously.

Although Zhou Yu was a fool, he knew instinctively that he should protect his wife and children. Seeing that his wife and children were crying, he rushed over to protect Zhou Xiaoli and the others, but in the process, he had pushed Lai Jinniang a little by accident.

Now, Lai Jinniang was furious.

The dull sound of the rod hitting Zhou Yu's body was painful just by listening to it. Moreover, Zhou Xiaoli received a hit from the rod earlier, so she knew the pain of it all too well.

She raised her head and looked at the silly man protecting her. She wanted to tell him that he should dodge when he was beaten.

However, after she finished speaking weakly, Zhou Yu did not dodge. He only gave her a silly smile and said naively, "Don't be afraid, Li'er. I'm here, heh."

Zhou Xiaoli was a fish in her previous life. She has lived in the lotus pond since she existed. She had never seen her parents and did not know what parental love was.

She had only read about it from novels.

At this moment, the silly smile on Zhou Yu's face, his broad chest, his warm embrace, and the way he protected her stunned her.

"Mother, Mother, please stop hitting him. He would be beaten to death." Zhang Lan knelt beside Zhou Yu and grabbed Lai Jinniang as she tried to stop her from hitting Zhou Yu.

Zhou Xiaoyu and Zhou Junjun also rushed over and hugged Lai Jinniang's legs, crying their hearts out.

"Grandma, please don't hit Dad."

Lai Jinniang was furious. She cursed and kicked Zhou Xiaoyu and Zhou Junjun away.

"Get lost! Otherwise, I'll beat you too!"

As she spoke, she raised the rod and was about to hit Zhang Lan and her children!

Seeing this, Zhou Yu became a little anxious. He stood up at once and grabbed Lai Jinniang's wrist to stop the rod from coming down on his wife and children.

Zhou Yu was tall and burly, and his face was red from the beating he took earlier. Lai Jinniang was shocked when he suddenly rushed up to her.

After taking a few steps back, she finally reacted and pointed at Zhou Yu. "You, you're trying to hit me, your mother! Guihua, Guihua, go and call the village chief over quickly to uphold justice for us. We have a disobedient and unfilial thing that wants to hit his mother!"

Seeing this, Zhou Yu panicked. He let go and shook his head in panic.

Lai Jinniang was already sitting on the ground and crying loudly. "Damn it, this disobedient and unfilial thing even dared to hit me."

"Why is my life so bitter? What sins did I commit in my previous life to end up being in this family full of nuisances? Your entire family only knows how to eat!

"Let me tell you, from today onwards, you're no longer a son of our Zhou family. Take your family of weirdos and get out of the Zhou family!"
