C2 The Transmigration

Ughhh it hurts - I said as I suddenly open my eyes realizing my voice sounds different.

Sister! Sister! Mom sister is finally awake come and see Dad! - a small boy exclaimed happily tears flowing down his eyes.

I look around only to see what is happening around me and to check out the situation while holding my head in confusion.

Ohh my daughter finally your awake. - a tired pregnant looking woman dressed in an ancient chinese clothes suddenly came in and hugged me tightly while sobbing.

Thank goodness your alive Eldest son come call the doctor. - a sweaty tanned middle aged man exclaimed as he entered the room of the thatched house.

Eldest brother already went out to call the doctor as soon as Little 4th shouted. - a tall and strong looking teen said as he entered the house looking at me with worry.

Mom? Dad is eldest sister really awake? - a small girl poke her head on the door looking around the room searching for something with teary eyes.

Yes Daisy come here, see your sister is fine isn't she it's not your fault okay? - the woman said as she walk to the small kid probably 6-7 years old holding her skinny hand.

The doctor is here is little 5th awake? - a tanned bulky teen said as he entered the room all sweaty and panting with an old man with white hair and long beard followed behind him holding a wooden box.

I felt dizzy from the commotion, and my vision began to blur as I felt like my body was swaying too much, as memories of a child pushed down my mind, seeing how she was hit in the head by her grandmother, causing her to faint and go into a coma for days up until the day she was born, and how her family treated her so well. Then everything turned black again and I fell into a deep sleep with memories of my past played before my eyes like a movie.

From the moment I was born, my parents mistreating me, siblings stepping down on me and relatives looking down on me with no friends and family to confide and getting kicked out of the house and how I died. I opened my eyes once again looking around the empty room as I took a deep breath absorbing what happened.

I have transmigrated. - I whispered as I sit up from the bed that was hard and itchy from the straws poking on my body.

The house looks run down and smelled moldy all over with straw mats as bed and rolled straws as pillow it is indeed a poor family's home. I have never lived this kind of life in the past but I have to get used to this situation I am an innovator I will be able to survive this situation. I fixed the bed as I slowly walked to the the door pushing it open as I slowly walk out the room while looking around the house.

Little 5th you should have shouted if your awake so we can help you out. - The tanned bulky teen and what I mean with bulky is muscle packed body which if I remember correctly because of his work on the docks carrying loads and boxes.

I am fine eldest brother I feel better. - I said softly while walking to the table.

Ohh daughter it's good your finally awake just on time for breakfast. - the woman said as I remember her as this body's mother.

I am sorry to worry you mother I am better now. - I said softly and awkwardly since I am a 27 year old woman in a child's body it feels awkward to call someone near my age a mom.

It's good that your better take some rest today and you can help out with work tomorrow. - this body's mother said while taking the bowl given to her.

For breakfast we have rice porridge that looks more like a water with some rice, some flat bread with coarse flour and wild vegetable that tasted bitter and plain. But I still finish the flat bread giving the rice broth or water to my brothers that works on the field since they needed it more than me. After breakfast I tried to recall the situation am at and think of a plan to fix it out before I make plans to become rich and help this family out.

First step is to cut ties with those toxic relatives, I have learned from my past life therefore I won't be backing down this time and end the connection before it's too late. But before that I have to ask my siblings to bring me around the village to get to know of the situation. When everyone is out I end up taking care of my sister and the house next door is my grandparent's house with my uncles and their kids.

Daisy come with me and walk around the village. - I said as I search for a straw shoes that fits me its uncomfortable to walk with but this will do.

But mom said not to go out of the house and wait for them for lunch. - Daisy said as she looked at me with her cute doe eyes.

I know but we need to look for wild vegetable so we can help out with the family and they will have food for lunch. - I whispered as I hear some footsteps near the door.

*****WARNING!!!! THIS FOLLOWING SCENES MAY INCLUDE SENSITIVE TOPIC LIKE MOLE$T@TION, KILLING, CURSES AND MORE*****

This must be my Eldest uncle coming in to try to steal and m&@*st us siblings. So I grab Daisy's hand while covering her mouth and carrying a basket that mother uses when looking for wild vegetables. Running through the back door into the forest while trying to get as far as i can from the house. All this time Daisy has been safe and out of danger from that sick man because this child has been running away and keeping her sister away from that man for a long time.

I really have to think of a way to get us out of that crazy relatives of theirs with uncles that m0!$t the little girl and this body I won't forgive myself if something happens to this kid. I hold her hand tightly as I brought her to their usual hiding spot in the bamboo forest making sure that beastard is not following behind us.

Eldest sister why are you bringing me here again? - Daisy suddenly asked as I looked around the area to see bamboo shoots growing everywhere.

I heard that this thing is used for eating and they are delicious so today we will get some of these to eat at home. - I said as I look for a stick or stone to dig the shoots with.

Really sister is it that yummy then let's grab as much as we can and bring it home to let mother make us a good dish with it. - Daisy excitedly said as she run and pointed to area with a bamboo shoots but then I heard a lot of rustling sounds so I run to this body's sister and cover her mouth as I hide behind a group of fallen bamboo looking through a small gap.

Ughhh it hurts so much. - a tall young man in his teens moaned as he slump on the ground while holding his sides that was bleeding so much.

Seeing a kid hurt I moved on impulse and walk to him helping him hide on the fallen bamboo as the skies grow dark and him putting his whole weight on me making me stumble so much. But before the teen could say anything he closed his eyes and I think he passed out from the pain or too much blood loss that scared Daisy I have to pacify her and make her close her eyes while I give the kid some first aid and putting pressure on his wound. I tore a part of my clothes to use as a bandage covering his big wound on the waist as I help him rest under the fallen bamboo to get some cover from the coming rain.

After a while I heard a few heavy steps going to this direction so I covered my sisters mouth to keep her quiet while looking around to make sure no one will see us. Luckily me and Daisy are thin and small so we fit under the fallen bamboo with this tall kid with us.

Where is that piece of $h!t then if his here tell me where!!! - one of the masked man dressed in black exclaimed as he swing his long sword cutt!ng the head of his man.

Go and separate he can't run that far away with his wound!!!! - he ordered as they all run away through different directions.

After a while I waited for the rain to stop then checked on the wound making sure it will not fester. Out of curiosity I stretched my hand to look at the face under the veil but before I could even touch it a hand stopped me holding my wrist tightly making me wince.

What are you doing? - a cold chilly voice said weakly almost as a whisper.

I... I.... brother I just fancy this... I..... - I stuttered as my face turn red from embarrassment from getting caught in the act.

Who are you? Why am I here? - he asked again as he looked at me intently with murderous looks thrown at me.

Brother I just saw you fall down while my sister and I are finding this....... sister what is this called again. - Daisy suddenly chimed in as she showed one of the shoots that we dig.

That's bamboo shoots, brother we have to go now can we? - I asked carefully slowly moving away from him.

What's your name and what village are you from? - he asked looking at me intently making me scared as I look at his eyes acting brave.

I am Bell from the Zhao family village. - I told him with a shaky voice while holding Daisy's hand tightly.

He just nod his head as we fled away back to our house while holding my sisters hand who in return looked back and waved his hand on the guy.

Huhh Zhao Family Village isn't it the one that under my fief? - the teen whispered as he scoff and smirked pulling out a whistle on his bosom blowing it as a sharp whistle vibrated through the forest.

After a while 30 or more men in deep blue clothing appeared then bowed at him as he ordered them around 2 of which followed the 2 little girls to be investigated and 10 went to follow the assassins' from one of his brothers faction. The rest went back with him after they helped him dress his wound and putting hemostatic medication on it to stop the wound.

*Back to Bell's place*

Sister how much water do we need ? - Daisy asked she looked at the wok that I filled half of it with water.

A lot we should boil this shoots first before eating it. - I said while picking up the last bucket and pouring it in the wok slowly feeling the pain on my shoulders.

Sister your so strong. - Daisy cheered after me every time I finish pouring out the water.

Silly come and help me with this shoots. - I exclaimed as I went back to the backyard carrying the basket of bamboo shoots with me.

Sister let me help you with that. - Daisy cheerfully said as she help me carry the shoots in the backyard as I look at the blazing sun after the rain.

Can you grab a straight sticks for me? - I asked while I drawn the lined on the ground so I know what time is it exactly.

Here sister sticks your asking as I poked a whole on the ground and creating a sundial out of sticks and the flat ground near the well since it's open and looking at it its already 2 in the afternoon.

Sister the house is a mess! Let's clean it up before everyone arrives. - Daisy suddenly exclaimed as I run after her in the house right eyelid can't stop from twitching as I see how messy the house was that the past that I can remember through this body's memories.

No let's not clean up and wait for mother, father and our brothers to arrive. Do you want to go away from grandmother and her family right? - I asked in a whisper as I look at her eyes.

Yes they are bad they hit sister and made her sleep for a long time. - she said loudly as she nod her head.

Then when everyone arrives later just follow my lead okay. - I said while messing her hair.

Why are you doing that sister? - she suddenly move away from me.

Just follow me when you see mother and father make sure to cry as loud and as hard as you can like the time when uncle pulled your hair and he hit your bumbum. - I said looking at her tearing up eyes as I heard the front door being opened I also think of how lonely the past where messing my hair and my clothes tearing the sleeves as I ran out of the house with tears falling down my eyes.

Mother!!! - I shouted loudly as I ran out Daisy following me sobbing loudly as she run after me.

What's wrong? Oh my goodness what happened to the two of you? - Father Zhou asked as she carried me in his arms while wiping the snot on his shirt to look at his reaction but he didn't show any disgust instead he helped me wipe my face with his sleeves as I cried harder feeling the warmth deep in my heart.

Father we are robbed woooooooo..... - I wailed while Father Zhao bent down to get Daisy on the other arms.

Father *hik* the house is no more *hik* - Daisy said as she hugged Father Zhao's neck tightly.

What are the two of you saying come on let's get in. - Big Brother Hans said as he entered the messy house that now looked like it was turned upside down.

What the hell happened in this house why does it look like this? - Third Brother Ben said as he run after Second Brother Dan inside the house.

Father I am sorry for leaving the house I shouldn't brought Daisy out to find wild vegetables. - I whispered softly while trying to stop my tears wiping it messily.

Father Daisy is scared. - Daisy said as she hugged father Zhou tighter.

It's fine let's all calm down first. - Father Zhou said as he put down both Daisy and me being carried like a kid is embarrassing so I went to hide behind Mother Zhou while collecting my composure.

This must be the doing of the other house. -Second brother said as he picked up the mess on the floor.

Father I think this is the other family's doing once again. - Eldest brother said as he look at father seriously.

Don't say something like that someone might hear you and call you unfilial. - Father Zhou said as he look at Second Brother sternly.

No husband I think Dan has his point and it must be the other family I am scared it can't be continued last time he almost touch our Bell now this what's next, who's next. - Mother Zhou said she hold her pregnant belly.

That's true father we should just separate from that disgusting people and move away from them or else we might end up suffering so much but we can't retaliate. - Eldest Brother Hans said as he stood up looking at Father intently.

Father even I am scared I saw uncle's face he looks like he is here to ravage someone. - I said as I force my tears to fall out.

Father please let's go away and leave. - Daisy said as she pulled Father Zhous hand tugging it to the door.

Third son Zhou what is wrong with everyone I can hear the kids crying. - An old man suddenly voice from the front yard as I rummage the memories on who he is.

WAhhhhhh Uncle village chief wahhh . - I suddenly burst into tears as I remember who he is being the village chief that adores this body and her sister since he and her wife doesn't have a chance to have a daughter unlike our mother who birth 2 in a row.

What happened to little Bell and Little Daisy why is she crying so much. - he said as he pat my head softly.

Uncle wahhh second uncle is bullying us again wahhh I can't live this way again wahhh please help us we wan't too separate wahhh. - I wailed as loud as I can attracting the neighbors from nearby families as they watch the commotion.

What the hell are you talking about you small b@$t@rd tell me. - an old woman who must be this kids grandmother said loudly as she walk more or less waddled out of her house with her fat body holding a broom running to me as she raised her hand hitting my body with it.

Ahhh grandmother you stop bullying sister last time you hit her she ended up in coma stoop! - 4th Brother Zen said as he run to me covering me up with his tiny frail body.

Mother what are you doing stop hitting the children. - Father Zhou said as he tried to stop the fat grandmother of ours.

You unfilial beastard why are you still here you should have died with your mother. Separate sure go and get this family separated but I won't give you anything not even a penny. - Grandmother said as she changed target and started hitting Father Zhou who didn't dodge but instead let her hit him.

Mother I can't let you continue like this you have been like this since father died. - Father said as he hug both me and my brother.

STOP!!!! I as the village head had seen enough all of you go back to your houses and call the village elders. - the Village Head said as he waited for the elders and make the people go away.

What happened here why does the elders has to be called at such an hour? - a big old man said as he entered our yard with 4 more elders.

You old woman has been the cause of this village noises for quite some time. - another old man said as he walk in with his arms behind his back wearing an all white clothes.

Doctor Fang, You don't have to come here. - Village chief said as he move closer to the Doctor Fang.

Why I wanna join in the fun, Ohhh isn't this the woman who said his husbands life is less important than her grandchild who will be a scholar? - Doctor Fang said as everyone looked at Grandmother Zhou who has always been fickle minded.

Shut your mouth old man I have given you all of our riches to get that old man to be medicated. - the fat grandmother said as I saw her look around but not too anyone of the family.

Let's get into business since both side of the family wanted to separate and based on the papers left by Brother Sixth to me Elder Liu please read the paper left by our brother to the family. - Village chief said as he look at the short old man who is known as the most honest and straight forward one of them all.

Ehemm according to our brother Zhou he wanted to divide the ownership to every child of his without Second son Zhou Zackary and his family, the paddy fields will be divided equally to everyone and the dry lands will be divided to everyone. The money I saved, animals and items I have hoarded from the time I was in the army. - Grandfather Liu said as he picked opened the paper fully.

Huh see your father doesn't even care with you at all not even a small mu of land or even a house is given. - Grandmother Zhou said as she harrumphed as she put her arms on her hips smugly.

Shut up! Not only that but I want to remove my 2nd son Zackary Zhou from the genealogy and will be given a chance to establish his own family. I am also giving the house on the bamboo forest, the mountain and the swamp that was awarded to me by the kingdom. - Grandfather Liu finished speaking as he signaled people to bring the stuff Grandfather Zhou left for his family.

I didn't know that this world also has last will and testaments. - I whispered as I was helped up by my brothers and father.

Hahahaha you fools you only got barren land and mountain a useless pond and not even a penny left. - grandmother Zhou exclaimed as she laugh out loud pointing her dirty fingers at us as she happily push us out of the front yard.

I looked up at my now parents as they looked at everyone looking like they lost the war. Uncle looked at us smiling smugly as he entered our house throwing our stuff out with the basket of our clothes.

Bring this trash out and make sure to not come back again in this house. - He said smugly as everyone in the family collected our belongings checking if they are all fine.

Father, Mother let's go and check out the house grandfather gave us. - I said as they finished putting their finger prints on the papers and made sure they are correct as our brothers carried the basket of clothes while mother and father hold our hands.

Mother do not worry I will go and study to be rich. - I said as I kiss her hand.

Yes Yes our dear Bell will give us a wonderful life. - Mother Zhou said as she leaned down and kiss my head while wiping her tears.

Us Brothers will work hard for us all. - Brother Han said as he pat my head.
