Auspicious Marriage

At present, she wished for nothing more than for Xiao Ge to survive; she was willing to do anything.

Thus, Madam Chu gave the Yu family twenty taels of silver as betrothal gifts to marry Yu Li to her youngest son, Fu Wen Xiao, who lay unconscious.

*

This marriage was decided by Old Madam Yu herself; even Second Master Yu and his wife could not object.

As for Yu Li, naturally, no one asked for her opinion.

Perhaps because Fu Wen Xiao couldn't wait long, from the time the marriage was decided until Yu Li married, it was only three days. Yu Li only carried a small bundle and married into the Fu family for an auspicious marriage.

It turned out that Yu Li had a temperament similar to her father and mother. In the Yu family, no one would ask for her opinion; she only knew how to bury herself in work like her father and mother, treating herself as the Yu family's old ox, toiling with all her might.

Even on her wedding day, she was busy from morning till night.

The wedding was held simply at dusk. The Yu family did not let her rest just because she was about to marry; they still made her work as usual.

The summer sun was scorching. In the afternoon, Yu Li still had to cut grass for the pigs. The intense sun made her dizzy and gave her a headache; she even felt nauseous. By evening, she began to feel unwell, her complexion very poor.

When she was brought to the Fu family at dusk, because it was already dark, no one noticed her poor complexion.

At night, when Yu Li lay on the bed, she fell into a daze and did not wake up again.

Yu Li slowly withdrew her hand. The night was quiet, the room pitch black. Because she couldn't see anything, her ears became even more sensitive; even the slightest movement could be heard clearly.

To live again, for Yu Li, was a grace from the heavens.

Especially after absorbing the original owner's memories, she learned that although this world was backward, it was not polluted. There were no strange creatures rampant; everything was truly beautiful. This was something people living in the apocalypse dared not imagine.

The sky was not covered in smog, the land could still be cultivated, the water was not polluted, the air was fresh, small animals were adorable, and no mutated animals attacked humans from above...

Yu Li was ecstatic; this joy allowed her to temporarily endure the sound of another person breathing in the room.

As someone trained in a research institute, living to eliminate polluted creatures and anomalous beings, she was always ready to fight and wary of teammates who might mutate and attack her. Therefore, people like her found it difficult to rest when confined with others in a closed space, often wanting to attack the other party to protect their territory.

Her body was very uncomfortable, her head dizzy, her mouth dry and nauseous.

The original owner had worked under the scorching summer sun, eaten insufficient food, and rested poorly. Her body was already depleted, so falling ill was normal.

Currently, she was probably suffering from heatstroke.

Yu Li rested for a long time, then fumbled her way off the bed.

When her feet touched the ground, her body went limp, and she almost fell.

Yu Li braced herself against the bed, feeling so weak for the first time, which frightened her. Even when she was on the verge of death, she could still wield weapons to eliminate mutated creatures, but she had never experienced such weakness.

After resting for a while, she continued to grope her way.

The room was too dark. Perhaps this body suffered from night blindness; all she saw was black, unable to discern anything clearly. She could only grope her way forward.
