A year later, the apocalypse really came and Zhao Xiulan relied on the supplies she had in the space to survive for several years.

Unexpectedly, she had an accident during an operation to rescue her companions. After being injured and unconscious, she came to this era.

With the space at hand, Zhao Xiulan’s life will not be too difficult even in this era of scarcity.

There was still severe pain on her forehead, and Zhao Xiulan’s whole head was groggy.

She stretched out her hand and touched her forehead. It was burning badly. The high fever in her body made Zhao Xiulan extremely uncomfortable.

This time, the original owner’s high fever was caused by the original owner’s stepsister, Li Lijuan.

The production team leader’s son, Liu Jianguo, likes the original owner and takes care of the her on normal days, so Li Lijuan was very jealous.

After repeatedly warning the original owner, she still ran into the original owner talking to Liu Jianguo. She found the original owner and argued with her in private, then she pushed the original owner into the river by mistake.

Although the original owner was rescued, she developed a high fever and died. It just so happened that Zhao Xiulan’s soul transmigrated and occupied her body.

Before Zhao Xiulan could pity the tragic experience of the original owner, she heard a sharp voice from outside the door.

“You, lazy dead girl, why don’t you chop off your head?1Dead girl and chop off your head are both curse words. What about our family who fed and raised you? It’s already noon, but you haven’t cooked anything for lunch yet, so what are we going to eat now?”

Zhao Xiulan frowned. It is her stepmother, Ma Yumei, who was yelling. The original owner had suffered in Ma Yumei’s hands, so she was very afraid of her.

Now that the original owner has such a high fever like this, is she still expecting her to cook?

When Zhao Xiulan didn’t move, Ma Yumei kicked the door angrily, “Zhao Xiulan, are you deaf or dumb? Do you want to be beaten? Do you want someone to clean you up? I’m telling you, quickly, get up now before I kill you!”

As Ma Yumei was saying that, she lifted the quilt covering Zhao Xiulan and picked her up.

In front of Ma Yumei, she lifted the thin Zhao Xiulan like a chicken.

Zhao Xiulan frowned even more and tried to push Ma Yumei away. Then, she heard her younger sister, Zhao Xiuzhu, who followed into the room and pleaded with Ma Yumei, “Auntie Mei, my sister has a high fever, so let her take a rest. I’ll cook instead.”

After Zhao Xiuzhu’s words fell, Ma Yumei sneered, “What’s the big deal of having a fever? We should not be afraid of sacrifices and we have to overcome all difficulties. Who in the production team felt sick and didn’t work? Is she some kind of a noble?”

“Besides, if you are sick, you have to move more!”

“But Auntie Mei… my sister’s body can’t hold on…” Zhao Xiuzhu replied to Ma Yumei embarrassedly, and looked at Zhao Xiulan’s weak face with worry.

“Hmph, she’s just pretending to be lazy on purpose and doesn’t want to work.” Another sarcastic voice joined in, it is Zhao Xiulan’s stepsister, Li Lijuan.

After hearing Li Lijuan’s words, Zhao Xiuzhu lowered her head, for fear that Li Lijuan would say something to her as well.
