Fortunate Wife

"Li family's fourth son, where are you planning on taking your wife?"

Hearing Li Man being referred to as his wife, Li Hua started to blush. He snuck a glance at Li Man to check her reaction.

Li Man didn't notice that he was looking at her, but she recognized one of the women in the group. Seeing this tanned and plump woman that had thrown rotting vegetables at her on her first day here, Li Man's expression turned a bit colder.

Unfortunately, Li Hua misunderstood and though the change in her mood was because she had understood what those women were saying.

Was she unwilling to be his wife?

Feeling the unkindly intentions in the gazes of those women, Li Man felt uneasy. Forgetting her manners, she grabbed Li Hua's arm and quickened her pace. "Let's walk faster."

"What's wrong?" It was only now that Li Hua noticed there was something wrong.

A few minutes of quick walking later, they turned a corner and reached a place where there was no one else around. Li Man stopped and looked at Li Hua with red eyes. She slowly expressed her true feelings, "That day, I was tied to that tree, and one of those women had even thrown rotting vegetables at me. I feel scared just from seeing them."

Fortunate Wife Chapter 47

Chapter 47 – Feeling helpless

Li Man had originally just wanted to express her true feelings. But once these words were said, her sadness also spilled out. She couldn't stop her tears from coming out.

Back then, she had read some transmigration novels when she was feeling bored. In those novels, no matter how horrible the female lead's original life was, once she transmigrated, there would either be an explosion of energy that would raise all of her stats, or she would gain a superhuman body. No matter what kind of environment the female lead was dropped into, she would thrive in it like a fish being dropped back into water.

But really, that was too unrealistic. She wasn't a superhuman and didn't have any special skills or a high IQ. She was just an ordinary housewife in modern-day society. After coming to this strange environment, she only had fear and helplessness.

In the blink of an eye, she had come to this world with its unfamiliar dialect, scenery, and people. She had been tied to a tree and almost hanged.

There was no electricity, electrical lights, or even well-fitting clothes here. If she woke up in the middle of the night, she would get scared all over again from the pitch-black room. She didn't even dare to go outside to use the outhouse. One night, she had woken up wanting to pee and had uncomfortably waited until dawn before daring to go outside to relieve herself. After that incident, she would always hurriedly use the outhouse before night fell and didn't dare to drink water for the rest of the night.

"Older sister, what's wrong?" Seeing the tears falling from Li Man's eyes without stopping, Little Five was so worried that his face had paled. He helplessly stood by her side and gently tugged on the edge of her clothing. His eyes had turned red, and he looked like he was about to start crying too.

Li Man also knew that her behavior was somewhat wrong, but she couldn't stop herself. The more she wiped away her tears, the more she cried. She could only turned around to try to hide her crying.

Right after she had turned around, a strong arm wrapped around her, and she heard Li Hua's low and clear voice say, "It's okay. All of that has passed. No one will bully you in the future."

"Older sister." Little Five squeezed his way in so that one hand was holding onto the edge of Li Man's clothes and his other hand wrapped around Li Hua's waist.
