Here, the relationship between Bai Lin and Mo Yi is getting more harmonious. And Bai Rouya also returned home for a while after things settled down.
Originally, when she returned home, Bai Rouya’s mother, Wang Shi, grabbed a broom to beat her. Bai Rouya naturally wouldn’t just take the beating obediently, so she dodged it with a lot of fuss and started painting a rosy picture for the Bai family.
She said that even though the Mo family may be wealthy, they are still just farmers. Even if they rent out some land and become small landlords, they can’t compare to the truly wealthy people in the town or city.
She also said that now her brother, Bai Kaicheng, has become a scholar, and who knows, he might become a high-ranking official in the future. As his sister, she certainly wouldn’t marry someone beneath her.
After spinning this tale for the Bai family, Bai Rouya managed to avoid a beating.
But in reality, even though she was reborn, she wasn’t sure if her brother Bai Kaicheng had actually become an official in his previous life, because the earthquake happened when he was on his way to the capital for the imperial examination.
Later, Bai Rouya followed a wealthy landlord and even tried to find someone to inquire about her brother’s status in the capital, but she never received any news, so she didn’t know if her brother had achieved anything.
But as a reborn person, Bai Rouya always felt that she was different and would surely become wealthy and prestigious in the future, so how could she stay in this small village forever?
However, despite her optimistic thoughts, after spending some time at home since her rebirth, Bai Rouya felt that life was becoming difficult.
Although the Bai family benefited from Bai Lin’s marriage in terms of land and property, they were not particularly wealthy. Especially with the expenses of her brother Bai Kaicheng’s education, they couldn’t afford luxurious meals every day.
Like other farmers, they lived on simple meals of plain porridge, radishes, coarse tea, and light meals.
Watching the thin porridge with hardly any rice grains and eating the tasteless and hard steamed buns, Bai Rouya felt uncomfortable.
In her previous life, after marrying Mo Yi, she had indeed enjoyed a period of good days. Although her husband was foolish, he was usually quiet and didn’t cause any trouble. Moreover, the Mo family had fewer chores but much better food than her own family. They could eat their fill every day and even have meat occasionally.
Thinking that her cousin could enjoy the same things she had enjoyed before, Bai Rouya felt uneasy. After a few days of quiet at home, she quietly went to the neighboring village.
Even Bai Rouya herself didn’t know why she had come. She had planned to avoid the Mo family. She convinced herself that she just wanted to see how her cousin was doing, after all, she had been made into a male wife.
But after wandering near the Mo family’s residence for a long time, she didn’t see anyone come out. She thought that after marrying a male wife, their family would be in chaos, but why was it so quiet? Could it be that they had truly accepted it?

The woman happened to be a friend of Mo Chunhua. Upon hearing Bai Rouya’s question, she immediately smiled and said, “You don’t know? This is the famous wealthy family in our village, the Mo family. They have been hardworking for generations and live a good life. It’s just a pity they had a son who is foolish. Otherwise, they would be perfect.”
“What? A foolish son! Then how would they find a wife for this family with only one son?”
Bai Rouya also knew that the previous affair between her family and the Mo family had caused a stir nearby, so she didn’t mention that she was Bai Lin’s cousin. Pretending not to know, she subtly guided the woman to provide the information she wanted.
Sure enough, the woman sighed when she heard this and volunteered, “You don’t know. The person they married into this family is a male wife. Recently, because of this matter, there have been many troubles, and it’s hard to explain in just a few words. Originally, the Mo family wanted to marry a daughter.”
These village women loved to gossip about family affairs, so Bai Rouya pretended to be surprised and said, “I can’t believe it! That male wife must have a hard time in that family!”
“It’s not like that,” the woman waved her hand and said, “I must say, that person is quite fortunate. Although he’s a scholar, he’s sickly. Who knows if he can continue his studies? Marrying into the Mo family is considered a blessing.
I’ve heard from their family that even though their son is foolish, he knows how to treat his wife well. Since marrying that male wife, he has been very attentive.”
“I think that child has clearly improved. Now he helps his father with work, even goes to the mountains to gather wild vegetables. He brings food, medicine, and sometimes even catches rabbits or fish to help his wife stay healthy. He’s very considerate!
In my opinion, marrying him is better than marrying an ordinary man!”
“What? Are you saying that fool actually goes to pick vegetables and hunt for the sake of his male wife?”
Bai Rouya’s voice suddenly became sharp, startling the woman opposite her.
The woman looked at her with a strange expression, and Bai Rouya quickly realized her mistake and hastily made some excuses to cover it up.
After hurriedly leaving, she couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of jealousy at the woman’s words.
All this care and attention, bringing food, delivering medicine, going to the mountains to hunt and fish—why hadn’t she encountered such good fortune in her previous life!
Back then, she faced a dull fool every day, a fool who always seemed to reject her.
Since their wedding, they hadn’t even slept on the same bed. The other party would rather drag the quilt and pillow to sleep on the floor.
Although she really didn’t want to sleep with a fool, but before she opened her mouth, the other party didn’t want to sleep with her. He was obviously just a fool, but he dares to reject her!
So, while pretending to be gentle on the surface, Bai Rouya would scold and even hit the Mo family’s son behind their backs.
Feeling that since he was mentally deficient and wouldn’t understand how to complain, he would just take the beating silently without speaking.
But how could this time, in this lifetime, Mo Yi had changed so much and gained so many skill!
Bai Rouya felt aggrieved. She imagined how good it would be if that fool brought back wild animal for her to eat. She didn’t know what Bai Lin had done to make that fool so obedient.
But then, she remembered in her previous life, as long as she pretended to be nice to the fool, he would obediently do as she asked.
Perhaps, in this lifetime, she could take advantage of the fool to gain some benefits.
With this in mind, Bai Rouya lingered nearby and learned that Mo Yi had gone up the mountain, so she waited at the foot of the mountain.
Eventually, at dusk, she saw Mo Yi coming down the mountain with a group of children. Not only was his back laden with a full basket, but he also carried two wild rabbits in his hands.
Seeing this, Bai Rouya’s eyes couldn’t help but reveal greed.
She walked up to Mo Yi with a smile and said, “You’re carrying so much stuff by yourself. Let me help you. I’ll take these two rabbits for you!”
As Bai Rouya spoke, she reached out to take the two rabbits, but Mo Yi dodged away.
Mo Yi looked at the woman in front of him with a strange expression, wondering where she came from, talking to him as if they were very familiar.
He hated humans who didn’t respect boundaries!
Seeing Mo Yi’s expression, Bai Rouya suddenly remembered that they didn’t know each other in this lifetime, so she covered her mouth and smiled sweetly as she introduced herself, “I forgot to mention, I’m Bai Rouya, Bai Lin’s cousin.
There were a lot of family troubles before, so I haven’t been able to come and take care of him. These days, thanks to you taking care of my cousin.
Since we’re relatives now, we should spend more time together. I’m glad to hear that my cousin is doing well, and I’m happy for him.”
Bai Rouya deliberately softened her voice and looked at Mo Yi with watery eyes. Thinking that since her cousin can even instruct this fool, let alone her, who was much stronger than him!
Previously, Mo Yi had been wondering who this person was, but upon hearing her introduction and with the reminder from 006 in his consciousness, he understood.
She was the supporting female character who had been reborn, whose family treated his partner so badly. And now she had come knocking on their door voluntarily. So, was she here to seek trouble?
Mo Yi couldn’t be bothered to deal with Bai Rouya. Seeing that although she was talking to him, her eyes kept wandering to his basket and the rabbits in his hands, he knew her intentions.
The plothole in this small world were really disappointing, especially considering she had been reborn, yet her insights were still so shallow. Rolling his eyes internally, Mo Yi was eager to go home and find his partner for some cuddles. So, he impatiently said, “Move, ugly.”
“What do you mean, ugly?” Bai Rouya didn’t react at first. Then she saw the disdainful expression on the young man’s face.
“Who are you calling ugly! You fool!”
Bai Rouya was instantly enraged. Any woman of marriageable age would mind being called ugly by someone else.
The other children who were following Mo Yi didn’t know who this woman was at first, but seeing their leader’s attitude, they immediately formed a united front.
They were young, but not stupid. It was obvious this person was here to take advantage. Even if she was their leader’s sister-in-law’s relative, she couldn’t be a good person to call their leader a fool.
Their leader was so good to them, always sharing the spoils of his hunts with them. How could he be stingy towards others? And she even called their leader a fool!
So, the children immediately chimed in with Mo Yi’s words, “Wow! So ugly! So ugly, there’s an ugly monster here!”
“The ugly monster is here! The ugly monster came out to scare people!”
The children shouted enthusiastically, angering Bai Rouya even more. She wanted to hit them, but the children were agile and dodged her attempts effortlessly.
Seeing the fierce expression on the woman’s face, one of the children even maliciously picked up a piece of mud and threw it directly at Bai Rouya’s face.
Bai Rouya was furious and wanted to chase after them and beat them, but the children had already scattered and fled. Not only did Bai Rouya fail to catch them, but she also stumbled over and fell flat on her face.
Mo Yi watched the scene unfold and couldn’t help but smirk. He suddenly felt that the little brothers he had gathered were not bad at all. He hadn’t even needed to take action, yet they had already dealt with the situation for him.
Leaving behind Bai Rouya, who had finally managed to get up but was glaring at his retreating figure with resentment and bitterness in her eyes.
The zero hesitation behind calling her “ugly” is the best!😂
