Chapter 2: Did the Sun Rise from the West? Or Was She Possessed by a Ghost?

Since she was already here, and couldn’t return, then she could only focus on living the present days well.

Besides the rough plot she had recalled earlier, there was another thing.

Recently, around this time, the original Jiang Cimo was on a mission near his hometown.

And then he brought his military doctor younger sister home.

During that process, the Original Owner caused a huge ruckus, acting as if the military doctor sister was some shameless woman seducing her husband, holding a grudge in her heart.

In reality, that military doctor was Jiang Cimo’s biological little sister. She was highly capable and was actually the female lead of the novel. Since she had read the book, she knew this sister had a special spatial ability and would achieve great things in the future.

She hadn’t returned yet, but it should be around this time.

Lying in bed, after sorting through the entire situation, Xi Youyou could only accept the fact that she had transmigrated into the Female Supporting Villain.

Since she had transmigrated, she might as well live it through.

When she read the novel, she had learned the details of this family.

The Original Owner had previously given birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins(boy and girl). They were already one year old this year. But neither of the two children were particularly fond of her.

But that didn’t matter.

After all, the person who came here now was her, not the Original Owner.

There was no need to stick to the original path.

If she couldn’t go back, then staying here wasn’t so bad either. As long as she didn’t do the same stupid things the Original Owner had done, there shouldn’t be any problems.

The future sister-in-law would eventually become someone important, and also the female lead of the novel. Building a good relationship with her was certainly the right move.

The most important thing right now was to change the way this family saw her.

As long as she could change that, the days ahead would only get better and better. After all, becoming a mother without going through the pain was actually quite nice.

In her previous life, she had been a doctor.

She had heard lots of gossip from her colleagues. Her coworkers in the obstetrics department said that only at the doors of the delivery room could you truly tell whether the man a woman married was human or a beast.

There were those who wept tears of joy regardless of the baby being a boy or girl, and there were also grandmothers who turned away upon hearing their daughter-in-law had given birth to a girl.

She had even heard stories of families who had waited years for a child, only for the baby to die before birth.

There were simply too many stories like that.

Now, without experiencing any of that, she had two well-behaved, adorable children. That was already quite wonderful.

The more she thought about it, the better it seemed.

After thinking of all this, Xi Youyou got up from bed, walked to the window, and pulled open the curtain—which didn’t even deserve to be called a curtain, more like a draped bed sheet.

The sky was just starting to lighten. At this time, most people in the village were already awake.

Usually, the Original Owner would sleep in until the sun was high in the sky.

She would only get up when the family had finished making breakfast and called for her. Because of this, she had collected all the negative nicknames—lazy woman, shrew, and everything in between.

A true collection master.

Xi Youyou shook her head, returned to sit on the bed, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she entered her own space.

In the 21st century, she had been an exceptionally skilled and successful doctor, earning a high salary, wielding great abilities, and holding a high-ranking position at a young age.

That was because she had her own portable space.

Inside the space was a wide expanse of lush, green farmland. To the right side of the field stood a centuries-old tree. When she had spare time, she would sit beneath the tree for shade and short naps.

On the other side of the tree was a spiritual spring.

The spiritual spring water had the effect of improving one’s physical constitution. Long-term consumption could enhance the complexion and overall health.

Children who drank it from a young age would grow up smarter.

In short, regular use of the spiritual spring water, or combining it with other medicines, could amplify the effects of those medicines severalfold.

It was something no ordinary substance could compare to.

Further inside the space was a small Herbal Clinic. She had been a Chinese Medicine Doctor, and this clinic was filled with medical texts, silver needles, and various prescriptions and tools used by Chinese medicine practitioners.

Behind the clinic was a residential area, where she sometimes stayed for days at a time.

In her past life, she had worked in the Chinese medicine department of a hospital. Despite her youth, she had already become Deputy Director. Her skills with the silver needles were extraordinary—master-level.

She had inherited the true essence of Chinese medical arts.

Everyone who had sought her treatment had sung her praises.

She took a walk around the space and, seeing that nothing was missing, felt quite pleased.

Having such a space in this kind of era meant life would be much easier moving forward.

She stayed there for a few more minutes, drank some spiritual spring water, and only then exited the space and returned to the outside world.

Once she was out, she went straight to the kitchen to make breakfast.

As she had just started cooking, her mother-in-law, who was sleeping in the side room with the two babies, suddenly pushed herself up on one elbow.

She perked her ears, straining to catch the sounds from outside.

Why were there rustling noises coming from the yard?

It was still very early, and even she hadn’t gotten up to cook yet. No one in the family should have been up earlier than her.

What was going on?

“Old man.” Grandma Xu Xiu nudged the person beside her. “Do you hear something outside? Could it be a thief breaking into our house?”

Beside her, Jiang Fenglin turned his neck toward the sound. He got up and listened for a couple of seconds—sure enough, there was movement outside.

The couple exchanged a look.

They both suspected a thief.

That thief was way too bold!

Sure, it was still dark outside, but sneaking into someone’s house at this hour to steal? That was too much!

Before Jiang Fenglin could say anything, the two little ones also stirred and tumbled out of bed.

Even at just over a year old, the kids were already adorably cute. The two babies had inherited their father’s good genes—they were good-looking, spoke clearly, and were clearly smart for their age.

Da Bao was the elder brother; Xiao Bao was the younger sister.

Back then, Xi Youyou had given birth to a pair of Dragon and Phoenix Twins.

“Why are you two up already?” Xu Xiu quickly pulled the blanket up to cover the children.

“Grandma, there’s a sound outside. Could it be a thief?” Da Bao widened his big, dark eyes. “What if someone steals everything from our house?”

Xiao Bao was about to crawl over to the window to take a look.

“I’ll dress you two first. Let your grandpa go check it out, okay?”

“Be good, little ones shouldn’t go out.” Xu Xiu soothed them gently. Jiang Fenglin got up first, dressed quickly, and walked outside.

There was a stick outside the door—he’d grab one just in case.

The sounds were coming from the kitchen, and they were definitely not the scurrying of a mouse.

Jiang Fenglin picked up a stick and slowly approached the kitchen door.

The kitchen door was wide open.

Inside—just as Jiang Fenglin appeared, Xi Youyou heard the movement. Her hands moved quickly, dropping noodles into the pot.

She turned her head for a glance and immediately recognized him as the Original Owner’s father-in-law—now her father-in-law as well.

She quickly greeted him: “Dad, you’re up! Have the two babies and Mom gotten up? If they’re awake, have them wash up—we’re about to have breakfast. I’ve already started cooking noodles.”

Xi Youyou smiled cheerfully as she called out to him. Jiang Fenglin looked at the daughter-in-law standing in the kitchen, raised his hand, and pinched himself just to make sure he wasn’t seeing things.

He nearly thought he was seeing ghosts at the crack of dawn!

What was going on with her? She actually got up this early to make breakfast?

Had the sun risen from the west today?

Or had she been possessed by a ghost?!
