Chapter 81: Reborn Female Lead Has Space [4]

The new house was finally decorated. Wen Qing then put going to work on the agenda. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, their family had no income. Right now they still had the 50 jins of grain, which was brought out from the Wang family as a cover, but if they always "just sit and eat" it would definitely arouse suspicion.

Therefore, Wen Qing took Da Chuan to the chief's house. The siblings had never been employed because they were too skinny. Although they had been raised well for a few days, they had not changed much, and still had the same big head and thin four limbs. The chief also knew their situation, so after a little thought, he arranged for them a job of cutting grass for the cattle, which was relatively easy and they were able to do it. This was how the chief took special care for them, but in order to prevent the villagers from gossiping, they only got four work points a day.

Big children like them generally got five or six work points a day, but they only got four, which was indeed less, but Wen Qing had no opinion. She was not a real child anymore, and she could see that the chief was taking care of them.

Besides, she didn't intend to stay in this small mountain village forever. She just went to work to avoid arousing suspicion!

"You live in the North mountain now and close to the people in the detention house. Later you also have to send the grass there, but don't get too close to those people. They are all bad people. You'll be criticized if you get close to them!" In the end, the chief told them repetitively.

Wen Qing quickly promised, "We will definitely not associate with them! I know they are all stinking intellectuals!"

After leaving the chief's house, Da Chuan asked, "Jie, the chief don't let us get close to those people, so are we still going to interact with them?"

Wen Qing thought for a while. "Da Chuan, although those people are labeled as bad guys, not everyone is a bad guy. Dad and Grandma beat and scolded us all day long and didn't give us food to eat. Do you think they are good people? Grandpa Xu and the others let us borrow their pots when we had nothing and Uncle Xu helped us repair the windows. Do you think they are bad people? Whether they are good or bad is not according to what other people say, you have to believe what you see with your own eyes."

Da Chuan did not quite understand but nodded his head. "I listen to Jie."

Wen Qing told him again, "But you still have to avoid people when you interact with them, after all, the general circumstances are like this."

Yes ah, the circumstances are like this... Wen Qing always felt unspeakable depression when saying these words. People in this era were not only heartbreakingly poor but also outrageously stupid. How many families were destroyed by the Cultural Revolution, how many cultures were cut off, making you want to hate the ignorance of this country? But seeing its poor and weak condition, you can't help but feel anger for its failure and sadness about its misfortune, and want to do something to change it.

But the power of one person is so small and only gives rise to a sense of powerlessness.

Back home, Da Chuan went to the back mountain again to try his luck for the last day before he had to work. These few days, he had found a few more "pheasant". He and Wen Qing ate one and the rest were made into bacon by Wen Qing. It would be sold in the city after she stored up some more.

Wen Qing carried a chicken into the kitchen while Xu Niansheng was cooking. He was the only one this time, and the other three had not returned yet.

Xu Niansheng smiled when he saw her. "You guys haven't cooked yet? I'll finish in a minute."

He said while lifting the pot lid, a blast of hot air hit his face, and his glasses blurred instantly. He took off his glasses, wiped the water vapor, and put them on again.

Wen Qing's eyes were sharp, and it only took a few seconds for her to have a clear view of Xu Niansheng's appearance. It turned out that the female protagonist described in Mary Sue's novels, who looked ordinary when wearing glasses and looked heavenly once she took off her glasses, truly existed.

Xu Niansheng had a pair of extremely good-looking eyes, narrow and enchanting, extremely beautiful. The brilliance was blocked by the glasses before and was not very obvious. Now that he took off his glasses, it immediately upgraded his handsome appearance to a demon level. Of course, he was not ugly when he wore glasses, but not as stunning as when he took them off.

Wen Qing handed him the chicken in her hand. "We have eaten. This is for you to add more to eat."

When she came in, Xu Niansheng saw the chicken in her hand and thought that she would bring it in to cook it. He did not expect her to give it to them, so he quickly refused, "No no no, it's too expensive, I can't take it."

Wen Qing stuffed the chicken into his hand. "It's nothing valuable, we picked it up from the mountain. Da Chuan was lucky and picked up a lot," she said, while sitting in front of the stove and helping him set the fire. "I came to you for something. If you don't accept it, how can I have the courage to ask you for help?"

"What is it? Say it. If I can do it, I will definitely help you. No need to spend so much."

Wen Qing looked up at him and saw that his face was sincere and his words did not sound to only be polite remarks. "Just keep it ba, even if it's not for yourself, you should still consider it for the elderly at home. The old people are old and weak, you can stew some soup tonic. Besides, you still have. a. son. ne!"

She emphasized her tone on the word son, and Xu Niansheng blushed suddenly. But he stopped refusing. "Then I will accept it, thank you."

"You're welcome, I've said that I have something to ask," Wen Qing added some wood to the fire, but was stopped by Xu Niansheng. When the villagers dropped by for a visit, they usually would give some help, but Xu Niansheng was embarrassed to let people help him for no reason. Wen Qing followed along and continued the conversation, "I want you to teach my Didi to read."

"Reading?" Xu Niansheng was taken aback. Right now, schools all over the country were suspended, and in some places, even the school had been destroyed. Scholars suffered the most severe persecution. At such a time, this little girl actually asked him to teach her brother to read?

"En, I know that you have to teach your son to read every day, to teach one person or two is the same. Da Chuan has no foundation, and it may take some effort. I don't know if you're willing to do it?"

Wen Qing once again mentioned his son. This time, Xu Niansheng had calmed down a lot. Wen Qing was a little regretful, she still wanted to see him blush.

Xu Niansheng did not know about her little scheme, so he pushed his glasses and said, "Okay, I'll teach him."

"Ei, Uncle Xu is such a good person. For Jinyang to have a father like you must be a blessing!"

Xu Niansheng once again made a big red face and finally reacted, "Little girl, you know that Jinyan is not my son, so you deliberately teased me?"

"Ei? Jinyan is not your son?" Wen Qing pretended to be stupid. Of course, she knew Xu Jinyan was not his son. One was twenty-seven years old and one was thirteen years old. It's impossible no matter how you think about it!

In fact, Xu Jinyan was Xu Niansheng's nephew, the son of his elder brother. It was just that when Xu Jinyan was nine years old, his parents were killed. Moreover, Xu Jinyan witnessed the scene with his own eyes, so he was frightened. He didn't eat, drink, or talk, and almost followed after his parents. At this time, Xu Niansheng, who had just returned to China, because of his resemblance with his big brother, pretended to be his big brother to take care of Xu Jinyan. Perhaps, it was because of the familiar face, but Xu Jianyan slowly walked out of the shadow.

But from then on, Xu Niansheng simply raised his nephew as his own son. Except for some close people who knew the truth, others regarded them as father and son.

Wen Qing knew as she saw it from the Past Life Stone. Even the female lead did not know about it.

Speaking of the heroine, Wen Qing suddenly remembered that Wang Qiumei should have been reborn now, right?

Wang Qiumei was indeed reborn and was now studying her space. There were ten acres of black land in her space where you could grow things, and there was a one-to-ten time ratio between the space and the outside world. In other words, the plant growth rate was ten times faster than that of the outside world. In such an era that lacked food and clothing, this space was a life-saving artifact!

Wang Qiumei cried with joy. With it, she would never go hungry again! Da Jie would also never starve to death! Er Jie would not be sold by Grandma to a fifty years old widower for 70 jins of grain! Thank God, for not only letting her live again, but also for giving her such a treasure!

*T/N: Da Jie is the eldest sister, Er Jie is the second sister.

Wang Qiumei was born in a patriarchal family. There were two older sisters, two younger sisters, and one little brother. Wang Qiumei ranked third, precisely the middle one who wasn't loved by either her father or mother.

Her father was the same as her, siblings of three, and her father was the second eldest. He was neither the eldest son that Grandpa valued the most, nor the youngest son that Grandma doted on, so he was the least valued one in the family. Her mother gave birth to five girls in one breath. In the eyes of the patriarchal grandparents, the status of their family could be easily imagined. It just happened that her father was a simple and honest man, her mother was weak and easy to bully. Their whole family served as cows and horses for the eldest and youngest uncle, they suffered and did not live well.

In her last life, among the five sisters, Da Jie starved to death, Er Jie was married to a widower, Si Mei was married to the eldest aunt's lazy and greedy nephew. When Wu Mei was married, her life was a little better, but after Grandma asked for 300 yuan as a betrothal gift, she could never lift her head up in her husband's house. Wang Qiumei was not much better. She was afraid of being sold by Grandma and found herself an educated youth. She didn't ask for anything and got married in a hurry, just to escape from that wolf's den.

*T/N: Si Mei is the fourth sister, Wu Mei is the fifth sister.

However, she married the wrong person. Jiang Chunyao looked like a good person and looked the best in the village. Many young girls in the village envied her when they got married. As a result, Jiang Chunyao later abandoned her when he returned to the city, and she was pregnant with a child at that time. She was devastated and lost her child, her body was injured and she could no longer bear another child. She was being pointed at by the villagers and could not raise her head. In the end, she could not escape and was sold by her grandma.

That family bought a daughter-in-law for the purpose of passing down the family line. After discovering that she couldn't give birth, you could imagine what her fate was like. After being beaten and scolded for several years, she finally couldn't stand it and ran away, picking up rubbish in the street to live.

At this time, she saw Wang Da Ni who came from the same village as her. She was wearing beautiful western-style clothes, sitting in a car, looking very foreign.

*T/N: Wang Da Ni, Da Ni literally means the eldest daughter.

Later, she inquired that Wang Da Ni at first was neighbor with the stinking intellectuals who lived in the Wang Family Col. When they returned to the city, they adopted her and brought her along to live a good life...

Wang Qiumei felt insurmountable sadness in her heart. Different people have a different destiny, so why didn't she have Wang Da Ni's good fortune? In the beginning, her life was better than Wang Da Ni. At least she had a father and a mother, but the other party was kicked out of the house. Fortunately, God took pity on her and gave her another life. This time, she must grasp the opportunity. she would never be worse than Wang Da Ni!

Chapter 82: Reborn Female Lead Has Space [5]

Wen Qing cut another handful of grass and threw it into the bamboo basket. They straightened up her waist and thumped on it. Farm work was really not what an ordinary person could do. Although she had Wang Da Ni's memory and was still proficient in her work, she couldn't ignore the physical pain. She wanted to stop and rest after working for a while.

On the other hand, the little brother, Wang Da Chuan, bent over and kept cutting. His diligent and agile appearance made her, the elder sister, blush with shame.

"Jie, you are tired, right? You rest, it's enough for me alone to cut them!"

What a good little brother, I didn't spoil you for anything! Of course, Wen Qing was not that fragile either. She gritted her teeth and finished cutting the remaining grass. Then the siblings carried two big baskets of grass and went down the mountain.

They cut the grass in the south mountain and had to pass through the village when they went back. Sometimes they met acquaintances on the way and greeted them. When passing Wang's house, Lady Li just happened to be at the door. Seeing the siblings, she spatted viciously and cursed, "Little bastards!" Then slammed the door shut.

Looks like she had learned well. A few days ago, Lady Li had brought Wang Jingui to their door to ask for the bag of grain, as well as to ask them to compensate for the table, bowls, chopsticks, and the big kitchen knife. Wen Qing used a kitchen knife to chase them all over the village until they were out of their wits. Unless they did not want their life anymore, Wen Qing thought, the Wang family would never come to make trouble anymore.

Da Chuan, after all, was a child born and raised there. There was still a trace of expectation for the relatives in his heart. Seeing Lady Li's attitude made him inevitably a little sad. But, children are forgetful, so Wen Qing talked about dinner to divert his attention. The two siblings walked while discussing what to eat for dinner while speeding up their pace and walked home.

"Xu Jinyan, just accept it ba. I know you have a hard time and don't have enough to eat. Don't be so polite to me..."

Wen Qing just finished moving a pile of firewoods when she heard a girl's voice. She quickly grabbed Da Chuan and pulled him back, the two of them hid behind the wood stack. Wang Da Chuan did not understand, he was about to ask, but Wen Qing told him not to speak, so he obediently stopped moving.

Wen Qing looked at the situation over there from the gap between the firewood stacks, only to see Xu Jinyan pursed his lips with a heavy expression. He looked at Wang Qiumei impatiently and said coldly, "Go away!" He didn't save any face to the other party.

Wen Qing gave him a thumbs up in her heart, but Wang Qiumei looked embarrassed. These days, she had been busy looking for seeds to plant while fighting with her Eldest Uncle and Little Uncle. She'd finally managed to plant a section of sweet potato, and her first thought was these "noble people" in their village. She did not expect that he would not appreciate it!

Wang Qiumei did not retreat and handed the sweet potato to Xu Jinyan, "Don't just think about yourself, think about the elderly too ba. Your grandfather is old and still has to endure hunger. Can you bear it?"

I have to say, Wang Qiumei was a little clever and knew how to play the family card. In the original book, Xu Jinyan was indeed persuaded by her words, because Xu Jian'guo was experiencing repeated high fevers at the time. He thought that his grandfather would have the strength to resist the illness if he was full, and accepted it. With this, he and Wang Qiumei formed a fuzzy relationship.

But now, Xu Jian'guo had taken Wen Qing's medicine and had recovered from his illness. The three generations of soldiers from the Xu family had proud and unyielding characters. Even in dire straits, they would not be tempted by food.

Sure enough, Xu Jinyan pushed the sweet potato that Wang Qiumei handed over away and left without looking back. He did not even utter a word.

Wang Qiumei stood on the spot, her face turned red then white, finally she put the sweet potato back into her space and prepared to leave. At this time, Wen Qing pretended to have just arrived, she pulled Wang Da Chuan and left. She looked at her and nodded kindly.

Wang Qiumei's heart jumped, then relaxed when she saw the other party looked like they did not find anything wrong. Immediately after, she looked like she had seen a ghost, her eyes stared at Wang Da Chuan, "Wang Da Chuan?! Aren't you already dead?!"

These days after Wang Qiumei had been reborn, she would jump straight into her space when she was free and did not pay attention to the outside world at all. Therefore, the memory of Wang Da Chuan's drowning to death in the previous life still stuck in her mind. She was so shocked when she first saw the living person.

Wang Da Chuan's face was all black. "You're the dead one! Nuts!" After speaking, he pulled Wen Qing away angrily. This Wang Zhaodi was simply inexplicable!

Wang Qiumei found something out of her memory and rushed home to inquire about it. After she knew that Wang Da Chuan was indeed drowning but later rescued by Wang Da Ni, Wang Qiumei was relieved again. Although it was strange that he wasn't saved in the last life but was saved in this life, it was only Wang Da Chuan, which had nothing to do with her. Besides, except for the fact that Da Chuan was still alive, nothing else was inconsistent from her memory. Wang Da Ni still broke relationships with the family and took Wang Da Chuan to be neighbors with those noble people.

This was what she had to worry about. There is a saying the pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first*. Wang Da Ni was closer to the nobles and had more opportunities than her. The people in the village hated them, and only one who treated them well would appear irreplaceable. If there were more... it would not be rare anymore.

*T/N: An idiom which means "a person who has a close relationship with an influential person would get a benefit."

Wang Da Chuan was extremely angry and pulled Wen Qing home. He was walking while being indignant. "That Wang Zhaodi is really hateful! How dare she say that I was dead!" Probably because he had experienced death once, Wang Da Chuan became more sensitive to this word. Wang Qiumei had directly pointed at him and said, "Aren't you dead?" making Wang Da Chuan directly explode.

Wen Qing echoed him. "Jiejie also hates her! Even the sight of her is annoying! Let's not get involved with her in the future, it's not worthwhile to get angry."

"Right, don't get involved with her!"

When the siblings went to the detention house to deliver the straw, Xu Jinyan happened to come out of the cowshed. He did the same job as Wen Qing and her little brother, but never worked with them. When they met occasionally, he would stay far away from them. It wasn't that he hated them, but he knew that coming close to them would hurt them.

Xu Jinyan looked like a reticent person, but his sensitivity made people's hearts hurt.

Wang Dachuan greeted him happily when he saw him. "Jinyan Ge! You come back early today ya." Because they studied together, Da Chuan became familiar with him.

Xu Jinyan gave a low hum, which was considered to be an answer. Wang Da Chuan knew he did not like to speak, and did not mind. He put down the grass and walked with him. "Jinyan Ge, I can write the words taught by uncle Xu yesterday. I'll write it for you to see, you can help me to see if it's right or not."

Xu Jinyan gave another hum, and the two went to review together. Wen Qing saw Da Chuan find a playmate and was happy for him. She packed the things and prepared to cook.

Seeing how Xu Jinyan did not mince his words in front of Wang Qiumei just now made Wen Qing happy, so she was ready to make some delicious treats for him. She cooked chicken stew with mushrooms, a chicken stewed into a half pot of soup, and she put about ten corn pancakes on the pot. Since she made it for Xu Jinyan, she also prepared some for Xu Niansheng's group of three.

When Xu Jianguo came back, they heard Wen Qing invited them to eat together, so they quickly refused. Nobody had enough food these days. Wen Qing and her brother were in such a situation, how could they have the conscience to eat their food?

Wen Qing smiled. "Uncle Xu has taught Da Chuan to read and Jinyan helps him review. If this is in ancient times, we still had to pay for the tutor's remuneration! How can we keep you busy for no reason? Besides, the food has been prepared. If you did not accept it, how can we have the face to bother you again?"

She had said so much, Xu Jian'guo and the others could say no more excuses, so they sat down. Wen Qing was afraid that they would be embarrassed to eat the meat, so she served it herself. One bowl of meat per person, the soup was full, and the pancakes were eaten casually. The two chicken legs were for Da Chuan and Jinyan each to eat.

Xu Jinyan was not willing to eat it and gave it to Xu Jian'guo. Of course, Xu Jian'guo refused to take it. Several people passed it over and over, until it finally landed in Xu Jinyan's bowl. Wang Da Chuan also gave his chicken legs to Wen Qing. Wen Qing took a bite, then gave it back to him. The meal was very lively.

Since they were transferred to work in the countryside, several people had been suffering from scornful eyes, hunger, and cold. Because of a steaming bowl of chicken and mushroom stew, they felt warm even in their hearts.

Chapter 83: Reborn Female Lead Has Space [6]

The weather was getting colder. When Wen Qing once again went to sell meat in the city, she bought some cotton, ready to make winter clothes.

It was late autumn and winter would come soon. The grasses on the mountain were almost all cut off, so Wen Qing and her brother were idle. Not only them, but the villagers also stopped working when there was no more farm work. Only Xu Niansheng and the others who were not idle in winter, washing grass, feeding the cattle, picking manure... they wouldn't have nothing to do just because winter was here.

During this period of time, Wang Qiumei had come to Xu Jinyan several times. By coincidence or not, she would always run into Wen Qing. Every time she saw Xu Jinyan reject Wang Qiumei, Wen Qing would feel happy. When she was happy, she would give Xu Jinyan better food. After a few times, Xu Jinyan also figured it out. Da Ni'er actually hated Wang Zhaodi ba?

One was the young lady who had a close relationship with him, who often gave them a sumptuous meal, while the other was a lunatic who ran around giving him charity without rhyme or reason. It was obvious who Xu Jinyan would be inclined to. Although in the end, it was both accepting the kindness of others, Wen Qing always mentioned how Xu Niansheng had taught Da Chuan, it was all to thank them and could be considered as payment in exchange for his hard work. Meanwhile, Wang Zhaodi always had an expression of sympathy and pity, as if they could not live without the things she gave, like she had bestowed a great favor upon them. This made Xu Jinyan annoyed.

Since Da Ni'er and the others also hated Wang Zhaodi, it was just right. From now on, he wouldn't have anything to do with her anymore. If he couldn't deal with her, he could still hide from her!

Therefore, Xu Jinyan would hide when he saw her from afar. Wang Zhaodi also did not dare to get involved with him in front of many people, which let him hide peacefully. Wang Zhaodi tried several times to get closer to him but was unsuccessful. Xu Jinyan didn't have to cut grasses for the cattle and simply hide at home and not go out of the house. She couldn't go directly to the door, so she shifted her attention to the siblings.

She carried two pieces of sweet potatoes and went to their door to find Wen Qing. She'd never thought that once she came in, she would see Xu Jinyan and Wang Da Chuan sitting on the heatable brick bed, studying together.

Wang Zhaodi's eyes widened. "You, why are you here?"

Xu Jinyan's face suddenly became cold. This girl is a lingering ghost ba?* But he did not say anything. Mainly because he was afraid Wang Zhaodi would talk nonsense about him coming to Da Chuan's house. He regretted it a little bit. He shouldn't have stayed at Da Chuan's house to study just because he was greedy for the warm heatable brick bed. What if Wang Zhaodi said anything about it once she was out? What would happen to Da Chuan and his sister?

*T/N: It's an idiom about how the soul of a deceased has not yet dispersed and is still lingering. Xu Jinyan means Zhaodi is like a spirit that clings to him and can't be thrown off.

Wen Qing was busy in the kitchen. When she heard Wang Qiumei's voice, she immediately came over. "Wang Zhaodi, are you here to find me?"

"Huh? Yes, yes, I'm here to find you." Wang Zhaodi nodded hurriedly. She originally came here to see if she could find a chance to go to the detention house, but did not expect Xu Jinyan to be at Da Ni's house. It seemed that the relationship between Da Ni and Xu's family was deeper than she'd thought.

Wang Zhaodi followed Wen Qing to the kitchen and saw that she was making corn pancakes, and sat on the low stool with great familiarity. "Da Ni, I'm here to give you some food. You siblings come out and live alone, I thought that you must not have enough to eat and left two pieces of potatoes for you."

Hehe, two pieces of potatoes? Quite generous.

Wen Qing nodded casually. "Okay, just put it there ba." The book said that the things grown in Wang Zhaodi's space were better than those outside, so she also wanted to taste how delicious they were.

Wang Zhaodi was stunned when she heard her words. It's not right ah, shouldn't Wang Da Ni be excited when she heard that I gave her food? How could the two lonely siblings have enough to eat? There is someone who delivered food to them, shouldn't they be frantic?

When she didn't get the expected reaction, Wang Zhaodi put down the sweet potatoes with some resentment. She hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice and said to Wen Qing, "Da Ni'er, how could you let those stinking intellectuals come to your house? If people found out, people will brand you and Da Chuan as bad people!"

Wen Qing stopped her movements and looked at her with a smile that did not look like a smile. "Wang Zhaodi, who I let into my house is my business, what does it have to do with you?"

Wang Zhaodi's expression stiffened, then she pulled out an unnatural smile. "I said this for your own good. You haven't heard what happened to those who get close to the stinking intellectuals. They were being criticized and wore a hat of humiliation, denounced. Many people were forced to die from the criticism."

Wen Qing understood. Eighty percent of the reason why the original owner was so scared and hide had something to do with Wang Zhaodi. Otherwise, how could a little girl, who came far away from the village, have the time to nag her? Wen Qing sneered. "Wang Zhaodi, don't say nonsense. Believe me or not, I will tell everyone that you are a monster."

She lowered her voice and leaned to Wang Zhaodi's ear, "I saw it. You can make foods come out of thin air and make them disappear. If I speak about this matter, you will be burned to death as a monster!"

Wang Zhaodi was so scared that her expressions changed immediately. She jumped up to cover Wen Qing's mouth, not wanting her to say more. "You, don't speak nonsense!"

Wen Qing moved sideways. Wang Zhaodi's hand still had the dirt from the sweet potatoes. Had she wanted to cover her mouth with that hand just then?

Wen Qing put her hands around her chest and said in a cold voice, "Whether it is nonsense or not, you knew it in your heart. If they knew I interacted with them, people would at most say that I was young and ignorant. But you are different. If people knew... humph! You better not show up in front of me again. Who knows, I might forget about this matter if I don't see you. If you often dangle in front of my eyes, It must mean that you want to remind me about this matter. Then I have no other choice..."

"Don't say it! I'll go, I'll go! I won't even appear in front of you guys anymore!" Wang Zhaodi was scared until her face turned pale, and fled in confusion.

Wang Da Ni is too scary! No wonder she dared to use a knife to deal with her own father. Her heart is too black!

Wen Qing pursed her lips. This kind of combat power wasn't enough to arouse her interest! If it wasn't for rebirth, how could a selfish idiot like Wang Zhaodi become a heroine? To be able to write this kind of heroine, the author's three views must be crooked.

She washed the two pieces of sweet potatoes and made them into sweet potato balls, then sent them to the central room for Da Chuan and Xu Jinyan to eat. Xu Jinyan was probably still thinking about Wang Zhaodi's visit just now and was a bit distracted. Wen Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry. I've sent her away. She won't talk nonsense and probably won't dare any more in the future."

"En." Xu Jinyan replied, still a little worried. Wen Qin did not persuade him anymore. When he turned around, he realized that Wang Zhaodi was no longer here and understood.

Sure enough, he didn't see Wang Zhaodi bothering him in the next half a month. Xu Jinyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he was not afraid that Wang Zhaodi would bother him, but he was afraid of causing trouble to Da Chuan and his sister.

Without the annoying flies, the days in the North mountain became peaceful and quiet. Wen Qing and Da Chuan caught a wild boar in the trap that they had dug on the back mountain. This time it was a real wild boar, which was not a stock that had been raised and brought from Taobao.

The siblings secretly killed it without turning it in. Wang Da Chuan was successfully bought to the ditch by Wen Qing. What awareness of the law? It was all thrown aside. They can't have enough to eat themselves, who cares about others?

Because Xu Jinyan and Xu Niansheng followed to carry the pigs, Wen Qing used this as an excuse to divide it in half, and they were not allowed to refuse. However, this more than two hundred jins pig was enough for them to eat for a winter.

On the day of the winter solstice, Wen Qing made dumplings with cabbage and pork fillings. She made a lot of them, one person could get more than 30. After she finished wrapping the dumplings and putting them on the board, she waited for Xu Niansheng's group of three to come back.

When Xu Niansheng came back and saw that she had wrapped everything up, he helplessly said, "You wasted it all again. You just have to make yours and Da Chuan's portion. We have our own."

Wen Qing did not care. She burned the fire under the stove and let Xu Niansheng put the dumplings in after he washed his hands. The fire warmth filled the air and the aroma of dumplings slowly drifted out. Wen Qing rolled up Xu Niansheng's sleeves and couldn't stop sighing. What a good househusband!

Therefore, she spoke abruptly, "Uncle Xu, do you have a wife?"

Xu Niansheng did not think much and replied casually, "No ah." He'd gone abroad after graduating from high school. He had quite a conservative mind and did not have the intention to find a blonde-haired and blue-eyed foreign girl. After returning to China, he found that the sky had changed. Then their whole family was inexplicably beaten into the stinking intellectuals out of nowhere, so he naturally did not have a wife.

"Then, do you have a fiancée?"

Xu Niansheng added some water to the pot and smiled at her. "You sly little girl. What are you prying into this for?"

"Do you have it or not?" Wen Qing asked again.

Xu Niansheng failed to change her mind and could only reply, "I don't have a fiancée." Their family was quite open-minded and did not get involved in his marriage or anything.

"Then do you have a girl you like?"

Xu Niansheng laughed. This girl was really curious but he answered her honestly, "No."

"That's perfect then! Uncle Xu, I'll introduce you to someone, okay?" Without waiting for his answer, Wen Qing continued blabbering, "What do you think of me? Smart, competent, and beautiful! You can't find anyone more beautiful than me in Wang Family Col!" The original body had a good foundation, or else, she would not marry three men. Now, Wen Qing took good care of herself, she had red lips, white teeth, and became a beautiful flower in Wang Family Col. A few days ago, there had been an aunt who wanted to introduce someone to her! There were a lot of 13 years old girls who were being matched. If they agreed, they would get married when they were of age.

Xu Niansheng was amused by her. "You sly little girl, are you teasing your Uncle Xu?" Xu Niansheng only thought she was joking. In his eyes, Wen Qing was still a child. It was because the first impression Wen Qing had given him when she first arrived was too deep. Although Wen Qing had been raised well now, her five features had improved, her stature had grown taller, and she already had the appearance of a young girl, but in Xu Niansheng's eyes, she was still a little girl.

"I'm not teasing you, I'm serious. Look at yourself, you are now twenty-seven and have passed the age of marriage. You are also with a nephew who isn't your son. Which girl is willing to marry you? If it's not because you are handsome, I would not fancy you ya!"

Eh? He did have a face that had been attractive to people since childhood. Xu Niansheng somewhat believed that Wen Qing was not joking, but he still felt it was incredible.

Not to mention his current status was now a stinking intellectual who was being avoided by people; even just from his age, he was fourteen years older than her. He could even become her father in ancient times! How could this girl fancy him?

"I'm much older than you." Xu Niansheng politely refused. He felt that the little girl was merely obsessed with his looks and wasn't clear about what a marriage was. He was an adult, no matter what he could not deceive a little girl.

"It's okay, I don't mind you being old." The older one was better ah, she could leave the world once he was dead!

This time Xu Niansheng really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Just when he was about to say something else, Wen Qing reminded him, "The dumplings are almost mussy."

After this interruption, this topic was stopped. When Xu Niansheng wanted to mention it again, he saw Wen Qing's unconcerned look and thought she was casually talking about it and wasn't serious. It would not be good if he deliberately brought it up again and aroused the young girl's interest. So he suppressed the matter just like that.

Chapter 84: Reborn Female Lead Has Space [7]

Since the winter solstice, Wen Qing had gotten closer to Xu Niansheng. She sent him a pair of rabbit fur gloves out of nowhere, then sent a pair of socks two days later. She obviously gave them to everyone, so Xu Niansheng couldn't find an excuse even if he wanted to refuse.

Moreover, she obviously treated everyone equally, but he always felt that Wen Qing treated him differently. He couldn't say exactly where it was different. After he thought more, was it him who was in the wrong mind?

Good things he was good at concealing his emotions, no one else saw his anomaly. However, his anomaly couldn't escape Wen Qing's eyes. Wen Qing was happy in her heart but she didn't expect this innocent old man to be so casual.

In the blink of an eye, New Year's Eve was here. The snow had covered the mountains, so Wen Qing had no chance to go to the city to buy New Year's goods. Fortunately, she had stocked a lot of food before, so she could have a prosperous New Year.

On the 30th day of the New Year, Wen Qing began to work early in the morning, and Xu Niansheng also came to help. This time, no one said anything about eating separately. It was New Year, after all. Naturally, it had to be lively.

Wen Qing kneaded the noodles and Xu Niansheng chopped the stuffing. After it was done, a group of people gathered together to make dumplings. There was nothing more joyful time of the year than now.

After wrapping the dumplings and putting them aside, Wen Qing began to cook meat and fried meatballs. This day only came once a year, so of course, it had to be rich and sumptuous. Wang Da Chuan waited eagerly for the meatballs to come out of the pot. Although their family could eat until they were full now, he still had an inexplicable obsession with food, especially the taste of fried meatballs. It was so fragrant you simply couldn't hold back.

Even Xu Jinyan was looking forward to it. His eyes looked over from time to time, and it was rare for him to show a bit of childishness. After Wen Qing took it out from the pot, she filled a bowl for them, then asked them to take it to the hall and eat them together with grandpa Xu and grandpa He. Da Chuan responded happily, holding the bowl in one hand and pulling Xu Jinyan in the other, then ran out.

Wen Qing smoothly picked one with her chopstick and shoved it in Xu Niansheng's mouth and asked him, "Is it delicious?"

Xu Niansheng's face illuminated by the fire blushed, and he nodded casually, "It's delicious."

Wen Qing smiled, "Don't we look like a pair of husband and wife who were just married? I cook and you burn the fire, we quite have a tacit understanding."

"Cough, cough, cough," Xu Niansheng was shocked by her sudden words and let out an earth-shattering cough, his face blushing red. Wen Qing hurriedly scooped him some water and helped him pat his back for a long time for him to overcome it.

Wen Qing was so frightened that he didn't dare to tease him anymore. What if he choked to death with excitement? However, his reaction was too big, which meant that there was something in his heart, right? If he didn't have any thought, how could he be shocked by her one sentence?

Afterward, Wen Qing went to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner honestly. Xu Niansheng gave her a hand; they made a total of six dishes. There was braised pork, stewed pork ribs with potatoes, spicy chicken, hot and sour shredded potato, and stir-fried shredded cabbage. They also served a plate of fried meatballs, making up a set of six big prosperous meals*. Everyone also got a bowl of boiled dumplings. This meal made everyone very satisfied, especially Xu Jian'guo, who hadn't had such a hearty New Year's Eve dinner for several years.

*T/N: 六六大顺 (liù liù dà shùn) means that everything will go on smoothly.

After dinner, Xu Niansheng took the initiative to clean up the table. Old Xu and He Qiong were in a good mood, they drew a chessboard on the ground, one person picking up stones and the other picking up a tree branch. In this era, there was no entertainment to pass the New Year. Wang Da Chuan and Xu Jinyan also had nothing to do, so they just squatted to watch the two old men fight each other, from time to time giving blind commands from the side.

Wen Qing leaned on the kitchen door, looking at Xu Niansheng wash the dishes. Xu Niansheng naturally felt her gaze, he suddenly felt prickles down his back, and he stood up unnaturally. After finishing washing quickly, he pretended to be calm and asked her, "What's wrong?"

Wen Qing raised her eyebrow and gestured outside the door, "Going for a walk?"

Xu Niansheng couldn't find any excuse to refuse, so he agreed. The two chatted casually and unknowingly walked to the back mountain. In front of them was their house, their back was the mountain, their left was the direction of the detention house, and their right was a big tall tree. Such an enclosed environment was a good place to do something bad.

Wen Qing stopped. Xu Niansheng found this place to be a little suspicious and quickly said, "The weather is really cold, how about we go back?"

Wen Qing stared fixedly at him and saw through Xu Niansheng's frightened heart. She spoke leisurely, "Xu Niansheng, you really don't like me?"

"Huh?" She asked so bluntly that Xu Niansheng didn't know how to answer. After holding back for a long time, he spat a sentence, "You're still small and basically don't know anything about marrying someone..."

Wen Qing chuckled. This was the bad point of this innocent old man. Even if he was tempted, his heart still had a tight string called reason. "Forget it, whatever you say it is then."

She suddenly changed her words. Xu Niansheng once again didn't know what to say. It was just that, although she obviously followed his wish, he didn't feel happy at all.

At this time, Wen Qing said suddenly, "You say I'm still young, then wait until I grow up ba. I will go find you when I am 22 years old. If at that time you are not married yet, the two of us will just get together ba."

"Okay," Xu Niansheng said subconsciously, then blushed again. When she was 22 years old, he would be 36 ba? He was still a dozen years older than her.

However, after ten years she would be more sensible and naturally understand that her current feelings were only a temporary infatuation. When the time came, he didn't need to say anything, she would retreat by herself. Thinking this way, Xu Niansheng felt a little depressed.

"After the New Year, I want to go somewhere, please help me take care of Da Chuan for a while." When he was in a daze, Wen Qing said another sentence. Xu Niansheng quickly regained his senses and responded, "Okay."

He knew Wen Qing often went to the city to make some private transactions. He thought that it was the same this time and didn't think too much into it.

Wen Qing smiled. She suddenly opened both of her hands and gave Xu Niansheng a hug with her chin on his chest, then lifted her little white face to look at him. In this snow-filled sky, Xu Niansheng could see the radiance in her black and white eyes clearly. She said, "Xu Niansheng, wait for me."

This year, Wang Da Chuan had a very happy life. Not only did he have delicious food every day, but his sister also gave him new warm clothes. They were the right size, not too short, and had no patches. This was the first time he wore such well-fitting clothes since he grew up and he was so happy that he was not willing to take them off while sleeping.

Jinyan also got one, but not as good-looking as his. Wang Da Chuan thought this way and put on his new clothes neatly again. Today was the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. The new year had ended, he wore it for another day and wouldn't wear it again tomorrow.

After getting up, Wang Da Chuan yelled twice. He didn't hear his sister's answer and ran into the kitchen. Inside the pot was last night's leftover tangyuan that had been reheated. Wang Da Chuan knew that his sister had left it for him and filled a bowl. After he was full, his sister still hadn't come back. He patted his forehead and suddenly remembered his sister had said a few days ago that she had to go out. Was it possible that she went to the city today?

He went to the detention house and saw no one. Xu Niansheng also said that his sister had previously said that she had to go out. Therefore, Wang Da Chuan waited for his sister to come back in the evening with a peace of mind.

He waited until midnight, but didn't see her come back. Wang Da Chuan was anxious, the snow on the mountain had not melted completely. He was afraid something happened to his sister and hurriedly found the Xu family to look for her together.

As a result, several people searched back and forth in the mountains several times, they even searched the city but didn't find Wen Qing. A big living person disappeared into thin air!

Wang Da Chuan was anxious, Xu Niansheng was also anxious. He understood better than Wang Da Chuan what kind of danger a beautiful little girl could encounter. Had he known, he wouldn't have allowed her to enter the city!

After searching continuously for more than a month, several people were extremely anxious, but they couldn't find Wen Qing! Finally, Wang Da Chuan suddenly remembered what his sister had said to him on the New Year, "Da Chuan, if one day I disappear, you don't have to look for me. Just remember that Jiejie will definitely come back."

Wang Da Chuan told these words to Xu Niansheng. Xu Niansheng instantly understood that Wen Qing's disappearance was premeditated.

It was indeed premeditated. Wen Qing hadn't planned to stay in this village since the beginning. If it wasn't for Wang Da Chuan, she would have run away as soon as she transmigrated. There were still five years to go before this era ended. She didn't want to stay in this village and farm forever. That kind of life was meaningless to her.

Even if she could rely on Taobao to eat and drink without worry and wait for the turmoil to end peacefully, then just went with the flow of the era, engaged in business, and became someone who braves storms and waves to overcome the social change in others' eyes, but what about it?

She had always believed that the level of power you have is equal to the amount of responsibility you must bear. She could not change this world, but she could do her best for this country.

This was the worst era, but also the best period. After the turmoil passed, this country would welcome waves of a magnificent new era! Her eyes were never on this one small mountain village, but on the whole world.

Therefore, when Wang Da Chuan was clutching a pocketful of money and bills left to him by his sister while wailing, Wen Qing had already crossed the oceans and appeared on the streets of the United States. She took a few gold bars to the black market and exchanged them for start-up funds, then dove headfirst into the New York Stock Markets.

Chapter 85: Reborn Female Lead Has Space [8]

Ten years were enough to turn the world upside down.

Xu Niansheng got off work and rode his bike home. Time seemed to treat this man preferentially, leaving no traces on his face. He still wore his glasses, with a gentle appearance. If Wen Qing saw it, she would probably say 'a beast in human clothing.'

When he reached the entrance of the alley, Xu Niansheng happened to run into Jinyan and Da Chuan. The two brothers who were in military uniforms with handsome and upright appearances attracted a group of young girls to turn their heads frequently.

"You're back?" Xu Nian Sheng greeted them as he got off the bike.

"Little Uncle, why are you still riding this broken bicycle? We could even hear the creaking sound from far away."

Xu Jinyan was much more cheerful than before, he had walked out of the shadows from that year, and was no longer willing to be a cheap son of his little uncle. The main thing was, he felt that his little uncle was old but hadn't found a partner yet. 80% of people think he was carrying him, this little oil bottle*, so no one introduced anyone to him.

*T/N: 拖油瓶 (tuō yóu píng), lit. means oil bottle, it refers to the child from the previous marriage. Sometimes also used to speak about someone who drags others down.

Wang Da Chuan next to him was quieter than he was when he was a child. His sharp face was 5 points similar to Wen Qing. He had been in the army for so many years but hadn't gotten tanner. His handsome appearance was quite attractive to young girls.

When Xu Niansheng saw his face, he always thought of the little girl who had said she was going to marry him. After saying she was going to marry him, she ran away without a trace.

Wang Da Chuan called Uncle Xu and Xu Niansheng came back to his senses. He smiled, "Da Chuan, are you busy in the army?"

"I just finished the drill and have nothing next."

The three were talking as they walked home.

After official Xu Jian'guo was reinstated, he was given this house. Xu Niansheng, who didn't have his own family, also lived here. Xu Jinyan and Wang Da Chuan also lived here when they were on vacation. Anyway, there were only a few of them left in their house, it was livelier with more people.

Today there was a half-day vacation in the army, and the personnels went back home simultaneously. Usually, Xu Jian'guo and Xu Niansheng were the only ones in the house. He Qiong would come frequently too. Most of the old friends in their generation did not survive, the two of them were the only two that had returned well without any illness or disaster.

Xu Niansheng came home and made a table of food for these two little ones to have something to eat. As soon as the meal was done, He Qiong came with a bottle of wine, "Yo, everyone is back today?"

Xu Jian'guo laughed, "I just asked Jinyan to call you, and you come by yourself with the smell of food."

The two were close and often visited each other.

They were all acquaintances, and there was no need to say hello. They all sat down after washing their hands. He Qiong took a fish with his chopstick, tasted it, and couldn't help but sigh, "You say, now that life is better, there is no shortage of meat, but why do I feel that it isn't as delicious as in the past?"

"What? Are you addicted to eating wild vegetables and poor dumplings?" Xu Jian'guo joked.

"That can't be. I mean that year's New Year's feast that was made by that little girl Da Ni'er. There were braised pork, stewed pork ribs with potatoes, and also the big dumplings we made. I always think that was the most delicious meal I have ever eaten." He Qiong smacked his mouth, his face filled with reminiscence.

When he said this, everyone immediately felt the same, "Da Ni'er's craftsmanship is really good." Xu Jian'guo sighed again after he said it. "I don't know where that little girl went, there was no news after so many years."

For a while, there was silence in the dining room, especially Wang Da Chuan. He lowered his head and was extremely depressed. At first, when his sister left, she left him a lot of money, so he hadn't suffered much these years. The Xu family also took good care of him. But how could all these be compared with his sister? He missed his sister very much and had to go back to the Wang Family Col every year, afraid she would suddenly come back to search for him.

Because she had said she would definitely come back.

The atmosphere was a bit heavy. Xu Niansheng saw that Wang Da Chuan's mood was a bit low and quickly changed the subject. "I am going on a business trip to Shanghai tomorrow. Do you have anything you want me to bring? Shanghai is more prosperous than ours, there are many things."

"Little Uncle, what are you going to Shanghai for?" Xu Jinyan also knew that the topic just now evoked the sadness of his good brother, so he cooperated when his uncle changed the subject.

"There is a female tycoon from America who comes to China to invest. This is the first batch of overseas investment after opening to the outside world, the upper management attaches more importance to it and lets me assist in this reception." Xu Niansheng briefly explained the situation.

He Qiong became interested and asked, "Is it that rich Chinese woman? The one who started from nothing in the United States and is called 'The Queen of Wall Street Finance'?"

"En, it's her." Xu Niansheng nodded.

"Then you must treat her with the most hospitality and try to keep her!" He Qiong exclaimed, but he was just talking. Just think a little bit and people would know that she must have a big property in America, how could she be willing to stay?

"Our country is now lacking in this kind of rich and kindhearted people. With someone to take the lead, there will definitely be more Chinese people who will come back in the future." Xu Jian'guo said.

About this legendary woman tycoon, the upper management had already spread the news and everyone here knew a little about it. Therefore, as soon as this topic started, a few people discussed it enthusiastically, sweeping away the heavy atmosphere just now.

After the meal, He Qiong left, Xu Jinyan and Wang Da Chuan also returned to the army, and Xu Niansheng returned to the room to pack. After packing a few pieces of clothes, he suddenly remembered something. He walked to the desk and opened the second drawer, which contained a small velvet box.

Xu Niansheng picked it up and opened it gently. Inside was a straw woven ring. This had been given by Wen Qing a day before she left. She'd said, "It is popular for people in the city to give a ring when you propose. Let's just make do with this ba."

In fact, she had made it when she was burning the fire.

Thinking about the scene at that time, Xu Niansheng couldn't help but smile a little. He did not know what kind of mentality he'd had in the beginning that he secretly treasured this ring? He never lost this ring in those years in the country.

Xu Niansheng closed the lid and felt a little melancholy. He had always thought of that girl out of nowhere. Some things are not noticeable at first, but they will ferment with the flow of time and expand until you can no longer ignore them.

The reception this time was very important, so the upper management attached great importance to it. There were dozens of officials that had come just to pick her up from the airport. It was significant to let her see their sincerity. The army even sent along some troops to protect her. This time it was a God of Wealth who came here, she couldn't have an accident in their country.

Xu Niansheng, as the main person in charge, waited with the mayor of Shanghai while exchanging pleasantries. Before long, the sounds of the plane came and everyone was standing with full attention, raising their head and stretching their neck to have a look at the legendary woman tycoon.

When Wen Qing set foot on this land again, she felt a sense of belonging in her heart. No wonder the ancient people always say that the falling leaves settle on the roots. The outside world is bustling, but it is not as comfortable as staying at home.

Wen Qing got off the plane and saw Xu Niansheng in the reception crowd at a glance. There was no other way. Her old man was still so outstanding, it was hard to ignore him.

"Comrade Wang Wenqing, I welcome you back on behalf of the country!"

The mayor of Shanghai saw that Xu Niansheng was a beat slower and rushed forward to shake hands with her. Wen Qing smiled kindly, "Hello, comrade." Then, she shook hands with other people one by one.

Xu Niansheng was dumbfounded for a long time before he came back to his senses and naturally fell behind. It was only after Wen Qing walked in front of him that everyone looked at him. As the main receptionist, he should have stood in front, but somehow he fell behind.

Wen Qing did not shake hands with him. She opened both of her arms and gave him a hug. "Long time no see."

Everyone was taken aback and looked at each other. What is it? I've heard that Americans are more open. People often give a hug when they meet each other, even kiss each other's cheeks. En, this is etiquette.

However, long time no see means...

"You know each other?"

"En." Wen Qing nodded. "Comrade Xu Niansheng is my fiance."

One stone creates thousands of ripples. After being frightened that their eyeballs almost dropped, everyone looked at Xu Niansheng with admiration in their eyes. This was really awesome, ah! He quietly won the richest American women. Compared to investment, feelings, and so on, making the God of Wealth stay in their country was the real deal!

Xu Niansheng was surprised and delighted. In any case, he never expected the one who came would be the little girl who had been missing for almost ten years! After ten years of disappearance, she actually made such a big show! This girl...

A group of people left the airport with great momentum. The reception group understood that Wen Qing had just gotten off the plane and did not start the inspection directly, but arranged for her to stay in the guest house to rest. In the evening, a banquet was prepared to welcome her.

The relationship between her and Xu Niansheng was quickly reported.

Regarding this female tycoon, no one had been able to find out her background before, except that she was Chinese. She seemed to appear out of thin air in the streets of America. No one was able to find out her origin. She offered to return to China to invest, and China also took the risk. Because they did not know any details about her, there was no way to determine whether she was an enemy or a friend.

It stood to reason that with such an unstable factor, it was impossible to let her return. But the large investment she promised as well as the transfer of talented technicians was too enticing, so the upper management took the risk. But an army was sent, on the one hand for protection, on the other for surveillance.

Now, they knew her background and her connection with China. She had a fiance and her twin brother, which made people more at ease.

After the welcoming banquet, the task to accompany Wen Qing back fell to Xu Niansheng.

Xu Niansheng had been absent-minded ever since he saw Wen Qing. He was full of thoughts as if he had a lot to say, but when he was alone with her, he found that he couldn't say a word to her.

In the end, he could only ask dryly, "How are you doing?"

Wen Qing couldn't help but smile, "How could you still be the same after not seeing you for many years? You haven't changed at all." Not only the appearance, but also his pure personality.

Her smile broke the sense of unfamiliar distance just now, as if they had returned to how they had gotten along in the past. Xu Niansheng immediately relaxed and smiled along. "You were leaving cleanly and orderly, and you ran to America alone without saying a word. You don't know how anxious Da Chuan was at that time."

"I did give you a head up, okay?" I'd told them that I would go on a trip. Although, this trip was a little far and the time was a little long. "By the way, was Da Chuan the only one who's worried? You're not worried?"

Wen Qing looked at his red ears then unhurriedly said, "Niansheng, I'm back. Let's find the time to obtain our marriage certificate ba."

Chapter 86: Reborn Female Lead Has Space [9]

On the day Wen Qing returned, Wang Da Chuan immediately received the news. At that time, he was very eager to fly to Shanghai, but was stopped by Xu Jinyan.

"It is still unknown when your Jie is coming here. If you are going to Shanghai now, and she has already departed to come here, won't the two of you just miss each other? She will come to Beijing anyway, so you should just patiently wait here ba."

Wang Da Chuan was so excited that he could hardly restrain himself, but he also understood that Xu Jinyan had a point, so he had to wait patiently. He was on tenterhooks and spent a week of torment and excitement before finally waiting for Wen Qing's flight.

When he saw Wen Qing getting off the plane, Wang Da Chuan couldn't hold himself back anymore. Tears kept falling down, he was crying like a child. He fiercely hopped and hugged Wen Qing, "Jie, you are finally back! I thought you didn't want me anymore..."

Wen Qing was very guilty. She had always known that Da Chuan was very clingy with her, but she'd still cruelly left him alone in the country. Because of the situation at that time, she couldn't take him with her.

"Da Chuan, Jie has returned. Jie will never leave you behind anymore…"

The two siblings cried in each other's arms. The scenes of relatives reunited after a long time made the noses of those present sour, not few people had their eyes reddened.

After Wen Qing comforted Wang Da Chuan, the person in the reception team said that since the siblings had just met again after a long time, they should get some time together and should not hurry to work today. Wen Qing naturally did not refuse.

Therefore, Wen Qing went to Xu's house with Wang Da Chuan and Xu Jinyan. However, Xu Niansheng couldn't go with them because of work, so he had to wait until work was done before going back.

The group of people who had eaten New Year's Eve dinner together at the Wang Family's Col was reunited again, not even one missing. Everyone was very happy. While eating, they listened to Wen Qing talking about her experiences over the years and sighed from time to time. The meal was very lively.

During this time, Wen Qing and Xu Niansheng's engagement successfully shocked everyone.

"Haha, I told you that this fellow was holding back at that time, and you guys were making an engagement secretly. She was only thirteen years old at that time, and you tricked her into your hand!" He Qiong laughed heartily. Because Wen Qing had officially changed her name to Wang Wenqing, he went along and changed how to address her. Although Da Ni'er sounded affectionate, it really did not fit Wen Qing's current identity.

But he had wrongly accused Xu Niansheng. What about him tricking people? Clearly, it was him who was being caught! But he did not say it, he just looked at Wen Qing and smiled. But when this scene fell into the other's eyes, wasn't it the same as an acknowledgement?

Xu Jian'guo was very happy. During the turmoil, both his eldest son and the eldest daughter-in-law had been tortured to death, leaving only Xu Jinyan, this single seedling. His wife couldn't bear the blow and followed. Although Niansheng was alive, his marriage was delayed by ten years, and he was now 37 without a partner. He sometimes urged him, but he would change the subject. It turned out that he had been waiting.

Wen Qing was also a good child. Although she was still young, she had made such a big name for herself. He was a little worried that his son was not worthy of her.

Xu Jinyan was happy to see this, his little uncle was not young anymore. It was good enough that someone wanted to pick him, what else should he be picky about? He should laugh up one's sleeve to meet someone like Wenqing!

Wang Da Chuan was a little unhappy. His sister just came back but was swindled away. Although Uncle Xu was not an outsider, he was still in a bad mood! Ei, forget it, forget it. It was better for her to marry Uncle Xu rather than who knew who, so he could still watch him and never let her be bullied. But, if Uncle Xu became his brother-in-law, then, wouldn't he become one generation older than Xu Jinyan?

"Jinyan, what do you call the Didi of the wife of your father's younger brother? You could call me Shu or Jiu, you choose yourself ba."

*T/N: Both mean uncle.

Xu Jinyan: "..."

Seeing Xu Jinyan's face darkened, everyone bluntly burst into laughter. This truly was a problem. The originally good brother suddenly leapt up to be one generation older, how could he not be depressed?

Xu Niansheng couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone was supportive. Since Wen Qing said that they were going to get the marriage certificate, he had been worried. He was surprised for a moment and restless the next moment. He always felt that he was much older. Wen Qing was in her youthful years and had hundreds of millions of fortunes. This kind of contrast made him embarrassed.

When he was sent to the countryside to pick up the cow dung and live in the detention house, he did not feel ashamed of himself. But now, with one sentence from Wen Qing, he had been perturbed and losing sleep.

Seeing everyone's attitude now, he finally felt relieved.

Wen Qing watched from the side, seeing the entanglement and anxiety in his eyes, she was secretly happy. She really liked to break the old man's calm, reserved, and beautiful appearance. It was probably… a mischievous desire?

The next day, Wen Qing started to get busy. As the first Chinese to return to the country to invest, the country's leader personally met her, said some words of encouragement, and discussed the direction of economic development.

Then, Wen Qing began to fulfill her promises. The matter of funding was easy to solve. She was the boss and had the final say on where to invest. The critical one was the matter of introducing talents. The U.S. side refused to let them go, and there was a stalemate for a while.

Fortunately, Wen Qing had a backup plan. She had long anticipated that the United States would not let the talents be taken away. Therefore, the people who she was truly optimistic about were not put in the open but were cultivated secretly. These people could be counted as her trusted aides, so as soon as she asked, they immediately came to China without saying a word. These people were Chinese, Americans, and people from other countries. But the majority were Chinese descendants.

She did not want any future research to fall on the head of other countries.

After returning to China, Wen Qing had a lot of things to do. She put her main energy into work, so she really had to spare some time to get the marriage certificate.

On the day when they took the certificate, the Xu family and He Qiong, plus Wen Qing and her brother had a low-key meal together, even if it was a wedding banquet.

Xu Niansheng was very guilty, saying, "I've wronged you, and couldn't hold a wedding." He was already very sorry to her, for such a young wife to have an old husband, but did not expect that they did not even have a decent wedding.

Wen Qing was surprised, "Ei? So you want a wedding? No problem, We'll make up for it later. I'll give you a grand wedding!" She was busy during this time and couldn't make any free time. She thought that Xu Niansheng was not a person who paid attention to formalities. If she'd known about it at the beginning, she would have prepared a good wedding! Ei, her old man did not have it easy ah. After suffering for so long, it was time to celebrate.

Xu Niansheng: "..." Something doesn't seem right.

Wen Qing snickered. Of course, she understood what Xu Niansheng meant. It was just that she was not a person who paid attention to formalities. The most important thing about marriage was how the two people lived their life. Wedding was just a process, it didn't matter whether it was there or not.

Of course, this was only for the version of her today. If she was really in her twenties, she would definitely look forward to having a dream wedding.

Xu Niansheng, in the end, still dragged her to take a set of wedding photos. They already did not have a wedding, what would it look like if they did not even have a wedding photo? In the beginning, Wen Qing was worried about the camera technology of this era; unexpectedly, when the photos were out, they were quite beautiful.

Xu Niansheng very carefully let the family take a glance at the photo before putting it away. As if it would be broken if they looked at it more, "Da Chuan, Jinyan, fighting, you two! What's the point of looking at other people's wedding photos? Quickly find a partner yourself, ah!"

Wang Da Chuan & Xu Jinyan: "..."

What qualifications do you, an old man who only discarded his single status at the age of thirty-seven, have to dislike us?!

While Wen Qing and Xu Niansheng were deeply attached to each other, Wang Qiumei's life was not so easy. At first, when she was in Wang Family's Col, she approached Xu Jinyan to no avail. Later, she was scared by a few words from Wen Qing and did not dare to approach the north mountain. She also had no way to contact the Xu family again.

It was not until Wen Qing left that she consciously realized that the opportunity had come, so she took the opportunity to approach them again. Unexpectedly, Xu Jinyan hated her even more than before. She repeatedly expressed her goodwill but did not get any face, thus making her discouraged.

Afterward, she was busy taking care of the space, having a battle of wits and wills with her uncle and his family, so she gradually gave up the idea. Even if she did not make friends with the noblemen, she had the confidence to live a good life. After all, she still had her space, such a heaven-defying treasure.

After a few years, when she reached the marriageable age, her grandmother was disgusted with her, this demon who stirred up the family. Therefore, she wanted to sell her farther away and stay away from each other after receiving the betrothal gift. But how could she not see the vicious thoughts of grandma after her rebirth? In her last life, she had been able to be in control of her own marriage, how could she be controlled in her hands in this life?

It was just that the Wang Family Col. wass really closed off, and she didn't meet any suitable people. Finally, she picked her husband from her previous life, Jiang Chunyao.

First, there was only one person in the village who was outstanding in appearance and talent. Second, she was confident that she could win Jiang Chunyao's heart with the experience she had from her previous life.

It was not far from her expectations. She did not lack food, she nourished herself to be healthy-looking and became outstanding in the village. She also understood Jiang Chunyao's thoughts very well, so Jiang Chunyao was indeed really caught by her. Before returning to the city, she gave birth to a son, and Jiang Chunyao took the mother and son back together.

Wang Qiumei thought she would be able to live a good life in the city. She had known beforehand that Jiang Chunyao had a good family condition, both of his parents had secure jobs but only had one son. But she did not expect that the parents-in-law in the city would not like her, this villager daughter-in-law, at all! Their excellent son went to the countryside to become an educated youth and finally returned, unexpectedly bringing back a rural woman! They even had a child!

They liked their grandson, but the mother was a nuisance! She couldn't be prevented, it was too embarrassing to mention her! Jiang Chunyao's parents were both face-loving people, they always felt that everyone was secretly laughing at them because their son married a rural wife.

Because of prejudice against rural people, Jiang Chunyao's parents didn't like Wang Qiumei, although Wang Qiumei was not really that bad.

However, Wang Qiumei was reborn. She even dared to fight against a prominent family, so how could she hold back against her parents-in-law? Therefore, the Jiang family since then had been in chaos, and staged a farce every day. Not to mention that the neighbors looked at them as a joke, even Jiang Chunyao felt annoyed.

He did want to live well with Wang Qiumei at first. After all, this girl was beautiful and was to his liking, except for her poor origin. She had broken her relationship cleanly with her family and was not burdened with poor relatives, which was fine. It was just that no matter how much he liked her, he couldn't stand such a fuss every day!

He was not a man of great affection, he would not throw away his parents, but this rural wife, he did not hesitate.

Chapter 87: Reborn Female Lead Has Space [10]

While Wen Qing was pregnant with a little bun, Jiang Chunyao and Wang Qiumei were having a divorce. To tell the truth, for someone who could make Wang Qiumei take a fancy in two lifetimes, Jiang Chunyao was indeed really good-looking. He looked handsome and smooth, whoever looked at him would praise his good look. Therefore, although he was married and had children, there were still girls who fell in love with him.

The other person was from the city, just like him. Both of her parents were working and only had a daughter. Although she looked ordinary, she had good family conditions. Father Jiang and mother Jiang were also satisfied with this girl, only such a family was worthy of their son.

And so, when Wang Qiumei knew about it, both parents had met, and she was the only one who was kept in the dark. She had been making trouble because she did not want to divorce, as she knew how difficult it was for a divorced woman. Even if they divorced because of the man's fault, the woman would always be the one who was harshly blamed. Besides, she had a child in this life, and she couldn't let herself end up like how she was in her previous life for the sake of her child.

But when she saw the Jiang family proudly showing their cards to her, a great sadness surged in her heart. Why was she still unable to get rid of the fate of being abandoned in her new life?

When Wang Qiumei was in a trance, she happened to see an interview on TV, and the person interviewed was none other than Wen Qing.

On the TV, Wen Qing elegantly and generously introduced to the camera the history of her fortune. From washing dishes to accumulate funds, talking to people for a month to learn a foreign language, to studying late at night every day. Anyway, no one knew that period of history. Everything was based on what came out of her mouth.

However, in front of the TV, Wang Qiumei received a great shock. No wonder, no wonder, even though she had lived two lifetimes, it was still no better than Wang Da Ni! Because she depended on herself, but she only depended on men!

She had no one to blame but herself for living like this! She couldn't stand up by herself and deserved to be abandoned! Obviously, she had the same opportunity as Wang Da Ni, both of them had a prominent family, grew up in the mountains, and had little knowledge. They also never read books and were illiterate. But she, Wang Da Ni, depended on herself and left that poor mountain and went to the United States alone. She started from scratch and built such big family properties. But she, from beginning to end, only thought about marrying a good man just so she could get away from that family.

Wang Qiumei was suddenly choked with tears. She had experienced many things and finally understood. In this world, she could only rely on herself, and no one could become her salvation.

After the enlightenment, Wang Qiumei wiped her tears and agreed to the divorce very calmly.

As a mother, she still had her son. She was confused for the first half of her life, but she would not go on like this for the second half and let her son suffer with her.

The Jiang family originally did not want to let their grandson go with her, but the new daughter-in-law's side who had not entered the door did not agree to leave the oil bottle. Therefore, they readily agreed to let her take her son away. With a new daughter-in-law, why would they be afraid of having no grandson?

Wang Qiumei and the Jiang family had torn each other's faces for a long time. She was physically and mentally exhausted, so it was natural that she did not want to let the Jiang family have their wishes. So, before she left, she searched for all the money of the Jiang family and stuffed her space, then took her son to live in an unfamiliar city. She had the space and did not have to worry about what to eat or drink. Even if she had to sell vegetables, she could also feed herself and her son.

Because the client's wishes did have nothing to do with Wang Qiumei, Wen Qing did not pay much attention to her. Only when she took back the golden finger before leaving did she take a look at her situation. Seeing her transformation, Wen Qing was quite surprised. The Wang Qiumei she met at the beginning was just a person who was reborn but was not very clever. She did not expect such a big change. She lived a prosperous life by herself with her children.

In fact, both Wang Qiumei and the original host, Wang Wenqing, had their own shortcomings and bad habits. Because they grew up in a patriarchal family, they had been indoctrinated by adults since young that girls were not useful, boys were the most valuable. They subconsciously put themselves in a subservient position, to find a good man was a great accomplishment. This could not be said to be their fault, but the grievance of this era. It was the environment that had made them like this.

Their mouth shouting gender equality, but could never get rid of the idea that man was the sky and the earth. Therefore, after seeing Wang Qiumei's transformation, Wen Qing was a little emotional. No matter if they're reborn or not, when a woman is truly self-reliant, they will not live a bad life.

Wen Qing lived a fulfilling life in this world, with a successful career, a harmonious family, a caring husband, and filial children. Xu Niansheng spent half of his life with her and never said anything harsh to her; no matter what, he would follow her. The day he left, Wen Qing also left the world. Before she died, she made a will and donated all her property to the country.

Wen Qing returned to the Vanity Space and the client slowly woke up with a dazed expression. She was stunned for a moment before saying, "Actually, I did not have a good life in my last life not because I did not meet a good man, but because of myself, right?"

Without waiting for Wen Qing to answer, she murmured to herself, "Rely on the mountain and the mountain can fall, rely on people and people can run, only by relying on yourself can you hold your life in your hands. You earned a lot of money and still returned. Even if you did not have Xu Niansheng, you could also live a good life. Wang Zhaodi originally found a good man, but she could still live a good life after divorce. It is clear that whether a woman can live a good life or not has nothing to do with men, but depends on themselves."

Wen Qing raised her eyebrows. There is awareness, not bad, huh.

In fact, the clients could not see the protagonist using their golden fingers. The part about the golden fingers would be hidden away. She could only see the fragments intermittently. The main reason was, she was afraid the clients would feel unfair. It is hard to keep level-headed when seeing other people have a cheat in their life.

From Wen Qing and Wang Qiumei's life, Wang Wenqing was able to understand the truth of relying on themselves, which left Wen Qing feeling quite surprised. Perhaps, her obsession was not to find a good man to live with but to know what went wrong in her failed life.

But no matter what, her obsession had disappeared anyway, so Wen Qing sent her away.

After absorbing the power of merit and sending the golden finger to the Vanity Space, Wen Qing started to coax the little phoenix. "Don't be angry, I was only teasing you last time, I'll definitely bring you out this time!" Since she came back, the little phoenix kept pouting its lips, it was obviously still angry at her from last time.

The little phoenix was putting on air and paying no heed to her, but remembering her once furious appearance, it reluctantly turned around and hummed.

Phoenix's rights really didn't exist! It didn't even dare to be pretentious when angry! Wuwu, it was not shedding its tears, there must have been water in its head when it first recognized her as its master!

Wen Qing looked at its appearance and was overwhelmed with joy. Sure enough, IQ was still related to the size of the brain. Although the little phoenix had not yet matured, it had entered the early youth period, but its IQ was obviously still stuck in its childhood. It definitely had something to do with its childhood form!

Other people raised their divine beast to be domineering, while the divine beast she raised had become mentally handicapped. Alas, forget it, next time she would take it out to see the world. It was not good for it to always be locked at home and not to communicate with other people.

This time, it took a long time before the next client came.

The other party had a frightening white face. Her figure was thin, but looking at her clothes, she did not look like she came from a poor family. When Wen Qing swept a glance at the Past Life Stone, she immediately had a guess in her heart.

"…My original intention when I started playing games was to make money and reduce the burden on my family. But later, I did not know how I was fascinated by the prosperity and got confused. I was even fighting for the affection of a man with someone and intrigue against them. In the end, I became infamous in the game and was blocked by all the guilds…

"I can't blame others for ending up like this, so let's just say I only have myself to blame ba. But why should the grudges and feuds in the game be brought into reality? Exposing my information, forcing my parents to be laid off, threatening and intimidating, leaving me at the end of my rope… She, Yu Gui, really was capable. In the game, she could summon the wind and rain, and a group of men would carry her. Seeing that I was not pleasing to her eyes, she did not even have to do anything and someone would do it for her.

"But I did not do anything outrageous, I had eyes but failed to see, and fell in love with a scum man that she did not even want. What does it count as? I'm not reconciled, but it was just a game, I'm even dead already, so I won't take it to heart. I only regret that I got my parents into trouble, making them burdened by life in their middle age by being pointed at by people, failed to become their pride, and let them suffer this humiliation…"

Xi Wenqing spoke, tears streaming down her face, sobbing uncontrollably. Wen Qing saw how bad she felt and waved her hands to let her sleep. In any case, she already knew her wish.

In fact, most people who became cannon fodders had this kind of problem. But no one is perfect, everyone will have flaws, as long as they do not have a wrong principle, small shortcomings will not hurt. Wen Qing did not mind people making mistakes, but she did not like those who never realized their mistakes until they died. For example, the last client, Wang Wenqing. She had completely changed and realized her error in the end, and had not been completely hopeless.

Like Li Wenqing, this one was more thorough. There is no need to take into heart the success and losses inside a game, because if you can't even protect your loved ones who are truly sincere to you, so what if you can get revenge? For a moment of pleasure you'll be alienated from people, will you really end up feeling happy?

Because she was bringing the little phoenix with her, she could only choose the golden finger with the space category. Between the three spaces, Cultivating Immortality naturally was the only choice. Anyway, this world was an era full of online games. She would not go killing people anyway, and her action would not result in karma.

After making all the preparations, Wen Qing set off to the mission world.

The mission world this time was a novel called "Rebirth of the Online Game Goddess". The background was a modern society with relatively more advanced technology, and the holographic game had just appeared. But because it was an online game novel, once "Gods and Demons" appeared, it quickly became popular all over the world, ushering in the era of online games.

The female protagonist this time was called Yu Qinghe. She, who had never touched games before, possessed an extremely powerful inborn talent for games. After "Gods and Demons" came out, from a little novice, she stumbled to grow to become a game goddess, then became the only female player in the top 100 of the full server's Great God ranking list.

But when her career was thriving, she was betrayed by a scum boy and a lowly girl. So in grief and anger, she was reborn!

With ten years of gaming experience, she knew what occupation had the greatest potential, which location had hidden tasks, where the best equipment would appear, what material would be the most valuable in the future… As a result, it became a first-class technology cheat. The main point was, with the beautiful appearance of Yu Qinghe, she became the object of pursuit and flattery. The Great God also regarded her with special respect, and even fell for her…

Chapter 88: The Return of the Online Game Goddess [1]

Wen Qing came at a good time, as "Gods and Demons" had not officially started its operations. Therefore, she still had a chance to make money to buy a game pod.

The original's family conditions were not very well off, while a game pod cost 50,000 yuan. As a university student, she couldn't bear the burden. Moreover, it was impossible for her to ask her parents. It was already hard for them to pay tuition fees for this school, so how could she also make them pay for the game? Therefore, the original owner did not enter the game until she was in her third year, so she naturally missed the opportunity to get a head start.

It was not difficult for Wen Qing to make a small amount of money. The only trouble was how to rationalize the identity of the little phoenix. Little Phoenix also wanted to play games, so he turned into his human form, a beautiful fourteen-fifteen years old boy.

Towards the little phoenix who was rarely making a request, Wen Qing would naturally satisfy him.

It was just that the game account was bound to the citizen ID, one person one account, and used iris recognition. There was no possibility of replacement at all. So, if the little phoenix wanted to play the game, he must have a legal ID to do so.

In the end, there was no way out other than using some special means to obtain the ID card.

"This time, it's a special situation, later I will not use an illusion on mortals in the future! Let alone expose our special ability in front of ordinary people!"

"En, en, I know!" Little Phoenix nodded in response.

Because it was inconvenient to live in a dormitory with Little Phoenix, Wen Qing rented a house near the school. The two game pods had also been delivered. Everything was ready, so she just waited for January 1st, when the game was officially launched.

Wen Qing lay inside the game pod half an hour in advance and set the pod into the mode she was accustomed to, then the game countdown began.

3, 2, 1, Start!

The screen flashed. Wen Qing came into a fairyland full of birds and flowers. A white-clothed NPC guide looked at her with a smile. "Welcome to the worlds of Gods and Demons. I am your guide, 001, please scan your body data and create a character."

In "Gods and Demons," players created characters based on their own physical data. Whether they were tall or short, beautiful or ugly, they would be presented distinctly, so it was impossible for the players to have two characters that looked exactly the same. Of course, they could adjust their appearance. After all, it was just a game, most people didn't want to be mixed up with reality.

A soft white light flashed, and a 3D character exactly like her appeared in front of Wen Qing. Next to her was a row of character data, the most important of which were strength, endurance, vitality, wisdom, dexterity, and agility. The value of these six items determined the base points of the character's attributes.

Yes, "Gods and Demons" had such a pit, saying that in order to revert the reality, those with weak physique would not have higher base points than those with good physique; they could only think that they were unlucky. The difference in basic points would not be very big, as it would only add a few more points even after physical exercise. Of course, if you ignored your bodies because of playing games, your basic points would also drop. This was a strategy developed to prevent people from being addicted to games and neglecting physical exercise.

Wen Qing thought that this rule was good. No matter how fun and realistic the game was, it was just a game, and it couldn't replace real life.

So, before the game started, she, who had already entered the Golden Core stage and whose physical fitness completely surpassed ordinary humans, already had a cheat, right?

In the original book, the basic attributes of the body data were all single digits, and the highest was only 9. However, Wen Qing's parameters were all above three digits…

Hey, isn't she a bully?

Wen Qing specifically asked 001, "Is there something wrong with the scan data?"

001 still had a gentle attitude, but her tone was very firm, "The scan data has been strictly tested by us and will never go wrong!"

What I want is just this arrogant attitude of yours! Wen Qing was secretly happy. It was estimated that the company had never thought that a body's data beyond their expectation would appear. Therefore, there was no alarm value installed. Otherwise, she would already be identified by the technician staff for bugs.

Wen Qing thought for a while, then asked 001, "What is my lucky value?" There was such a hidden attribute in the game, which was related to the issue of whether they had a lucky or unlucky hand. Generally, there was no way to check it. The only chance to inquire was to find 001 before entering the game because she disappeared after guiding them.

"10."

Only 10 ah. Wen Qing was a little regretful. She was confronted with the triple digits of her body data and looked down a bit on the double digits.

Eh, it's not right, the highest lucky value seems to be 10 ah! It means, her lucky value is maxed out?

Wen Qing raised her eyebrows, how else should she play this game? Her existence in itself was a cheat! She was even more awesome than the female lead, wasn't she just bullying her?

With these two surprises, when choosing the character's race, it wasn't that surprising to encounter a hidden race. There were four races in "Gods and Demons," namely human, immortal, monster, and fairy. In addition, there were two hidden races, the Demons and Gods.

In the original novel, the female protagonist chose God. Every time she appeared, she was enveloped by a halo, so holy and pure as if she could relieve all the living creatures from torment. As a female supporting character that couldn't get along with the female lead, Wen Qing naturally chose Demon. How could becoming a goddess be cooler than becoming a demon?

When selecting an occupation, Wen Qing picked a mage. At any rate, she was a cultivator who was almost ascended, so mage could be considered as her profession.

After everything was ready, she was teleported into the game.

The newbie village was already very lively, but this was not the most crowded time. When "Gods and Demons" got popular all over the world next year and the ordinary people also joined in, that was what you called overcrowded!

The rules of "Gods and Demons" were so casual that it could even be said that there were no rules. The players had to explore everything by themselves.

The game veterans had slowly searched for the NPCs to receive quests, only the novices were still spinning around like a headless fly. This was also Wen Qing's first time playing a holographic online game. After experiencing very realistic visuals and feels of the game, she was also ready to follow up to pick up the quest.

Then a very thieving-looking NPC walked up to her. On the top of the overbearing fiend's head was a name Zhao Si. He lowered his voice and asked, "Grand Master Ximen, I have here a map for the heritage of a divine forger, do you want it?"

Wen Qing: "…"

So, while the female lead exhausted herself to beat the Crow Crest Tribe andcaught ten goldfish before she got the hidden quest of the divine forger, it was delivered to her hands for nothing?

But what the hell was Great Master Ximen? She forgot to set her character settings when she created the characters, the system probably randomly chose it ba.

"I want it!" Wen Qing said decisively. Why would she not want it when it was sent to her door?

Zhao Si hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth, and said, "Ten coppers! Give me ten coppers, and you can take it!"

The female lead only got ten golds after completing a series of quests, but it only cost ten coppers for her. It turned out that having a max lucky value was this awesome.

Wen Qing paid him ten coppers, and then successfully got the quest. The highest level of life skills in "Gods and Demons" was the divine level. Divine forger referred to divine level blacksmith. A heritage of divine tools? She liked it.

Then, Wen Qing also went to the village chief to pick up quests. Most novice quests were running errands, killing rabbits, collecting rabbit fur, digging herbs, mining, fishing, etc. Other than familiarizing themselves with the game, they could also incidentally learn some life skills. Anyway, after a lap, Wen Qing had lit up the appraisal, gathering herbs, mining, fishing, and other abilities. She conveniently changed her white equipment.

When Wen Qing was about to set off to the wild to complete the last quest of hunting down the wolf demon, she was stopped by someone.

A human male mage was asking her with embarrassment, "Um, beauty, where did your green outfit come from?"

Wen Qing raised her eyebrows, "It was given by the village chief." After she finished speaking, she fled without a trace.

The mage was a little frustrated, and the companion next to him said, "I told you, she won't tell you! She must have done some hidden quest to get that green outfit!"

The game had just started for more than two hours, and the highest level was Level 9. The players were all in white clothing and occasionally, you could encounter a green outfit that was simply impossible to get at all. Therefore, Wen Qing's set of green outfits was very eye-catching in the novice village.

Ay, it was also hard to have a high lucky value ah, other people were rewarded with white outfits for completing quests, but when it came to her, she got a set of green outfits. The NPCs were also very enthusiastic, she was unable to refuse.

When Wen Qing arrived in the wild, several people were already fighting the wolf demon. This was the last part of the novice mission. Because of her additional luck, she did the quests faster, so there were not many people here. But the people who could come here now must all be the ones who were good at playing games.

Several people swept Wen Qing a glance, then continued to fight. Anyway, there were a lot of wolf demons, and they kept refreshing, so additional people did not have any impact.

However, as soon as Wen Qing arrived, a wolf demon boss appeared in front of her, the first wilderness boss in the whole server.

Now those people were not calm anymore, the first kill ah! Not only did they get a lot of experience and reputation, some even could get into TV and be famous!

However, before they came to grab the monster, the sword in Wen Qing's hand fell, and the wolf demon boss was killed in a second…

Several people looked at Wen Qing like they were seeing a ghost. That is a boss ah! Not an ordinary little demon! No, you won't be able to kill an ordinary little demon in a second either ah! Haven't you seen that they are still grinding the mobs after being here for so long?

Wen Qing was very distressed now. Her basic points were high and these would be reflected in her attack power. The blood of the wilderness boss was not as high as the damage from her normal attack. This was a good thing, but she actually didn't want to be exposed in front of others. What if she was reported? She had wanted to take advantage of the current lack of messy rankings to hide for a little longer.

Wen Qing had no choice but to put on a cold expression and put up a profound aura of the Gods. She was just short of telling others that she was a veteran.

Those people were indeed bluffed by her, watching from a distance, and stopped moving forward. Wen Qing chose to make an anonymous announcement, then opened the reward treasure chest. Fortunately, only you could see what was inside the treasure chest. Otherwise, it would make people's eyes green.

At the same time, the heroine Yu Qinghe, with the game ID Yu Gui, was fighting with the last goldfish. In her last life, she saw this hidden mission when she was watching the game guide, the only divine-level hidden mission in the Newbie Village. This kind of task was unique, as long as one player picked it up, no one else could. That was why that person spread it out without any scruples. But in the end, he did not complete it because the later quest was too difficult.

Yu Gui knew that forge master would become the most profitable profession in the game in the future! The divine-level forger never appeared until the time of her death. Therefore, she was determined to win this divine forger's treasure!

Chapter 89: The Return of the Online Game Goddess [2]

Yu Gui took the quest item to find the NPC, Zhao Si. Zhao Si was relatively easy to find. You just need to wander around the village entrance. If players encountered him and tried to get a quest from him, he would curse you, "You want to die, huh! Disturbing Lao Tzu's rest!" No matter what you asked, there was only this one answer. Therefore, players treated him as a normal NPC.

Yu Gui walked up to him with a handful of crow feathers and asked respectfully, "Sir, I have some crow feathers here. Do you want them?"

Zhao Si's eyes lit up. "Show me."

Yu Gui handed the things over to him. Zhao Si said in surprise, "They really are the crow feathers that I need," he said. Then, he rolled his eyes. "I still need some goldfish. I wonder if Yu Gui can help me catch them?"

The early prepared Yu Gui took out ten goldfish. "Are these enough?" There were people coming and going in the newbie village. She used the crow feathers to trigger a special quest and the others would definitely follow suit. If she went fishing after she accepted the goldfish quest, when she came back, the ship would have been sailing already*. So, she prepared all these things in advance and only needed to hand in the task directly.

*T/N: It will be too late.

"Enough, enough. Yu Gui, you are really a kind and enthusiastic person. In return, I'll give you a treasure map. With just ten gold, you can take it."

Yu Gui's face was very calm, but inwardly, she couldn't help but be excited. It was finally in her hands. She gave Zhao Si ten gold, and Zhao Si handed her a parchment scroll. There were already quite a few players around who cast their gazes at them, so as soon as Yu Gui got the parchment scroll, she quickly put it in her backpack and left.

She ran all the way to a place with no one around. Only then did Yu Gui take out the parchment scroll and threw an appraisal spell. On the scroll, some words appeared, saying that it was a broken parchment.

There was a small line at the bottom: "No value."

Yu Gui was stunned for a moment. It's not right. Isn't it supposed to reveal the divine forger's heritage? Yu Gui flipped back to the system's message records again. If she received the task, the system would have a message asking whether she would accept the task or not, and it would be displayed in the task list after she received it.

However, when she turned to the message, it showed, "You have received the evil trick of villager Zhao Si from Daohua Village. Reputation in Daohua Village -10."

Evil trick… Trick…

Yu Gui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Crying because she did not receive the task, which meant the task had been taken away. Or laughing because of her own stupidity. She still couldn't see through the game's routine after ten years of playing!

Forget it. She shouldn't force something that wasn't hers. She should upgrade quickly and get out of the newbie village. In her previous life, even if she did not understand anything, she was able to play and be prosperous. Now that she started all over again, would she not be better than her previous life?

Unexpectedly, when she took the task, she happened to run into Unparalleled in The World, which immediately tainted her good mood since her rebirth with a layer of gloom. Unparalleled in The World, heh. Should she hate his betrayal, or thank him for allowing herself to be reborn? Had she not treated him well enough? She had dug her heart and lung for him* but had not expected him to treat her as a fool.

*T/N: To treat sb. with utmost sincerity

"If it wasn't for her great reputation, who would have a relationship with her, huh? The guild also needs such a master in position! Just say a few sweet words to coax her, and she will work hard without complaint to lead people to the dungeon. If there are good things, she will hand it all to the guild. I got your Rainbow Colored Taoist Robe from her. Don't fuss about that ID. You just need to know that the person I love most is you…"

Once she thought about those words she'd heard in her previous life, Yu Gui couldn't help but be filled with hatred. It took her a lot of effort to stop herself from going up and slashing him with her claws. Hold back! She had neither strength nor power now, but the other party was carrying the previous gang. She was not his opponent!

"Wu Shuang, I'm late. You guys must have been waiting for a long time, right?"

*T/N: Unparalleled in The World in Chinese is 天下无双 (read: Tian Xia Wu Shuang).

A clear voice transmitted through, making Yu Gui subconsciously look up. A sweet and lovely female priest ran over and wrapped her hands on Wu Shuang's arm with a very intimate gesture.

It turned out that Unparalleled in The World and A Smile Can Overturn a City had been together so early? It was ridiculous that she had always been kept in the dark in her previous life, played by them like a clown…

Yu Gui was stimulated, and she became very ruthless when killing the wolf demons, seemingly treating those wolf demons as Unparalleled in The World and A Smile Can Overturn a City.

The people on the side blew a whistle. "Girl, your operations are not bad, huh." Sharp strikes and excellent positioning. They were rare among female players.

Yu Gui originally did not want to pay attention to him, but when she saw his ID, she changed her mind.

Lone City, the great god who had always occupied the top three on the ranking list in her previous life.

On the other hand, Wen Qing was fooling her newly-accepted group of little brothers*. "Gods and Devils** is a 100% realistic game. The weaknesses the wolf has in the game are the same as in reality. If you want to kill with one blow, you must find its weakness. For brats like you who have never even killed a chicken in real life, if you want to reach my level, practice for another 100 years ba!" As she spoke, she bared her teeth and said eerily, "However, I've gone through the foul wind and rain of blood."

*T/N: Not blood-related.

**T/N: From here onward I will change the game name from "Gods and Demons" into "Gods and Devils" so as to not confuse it with the demonic beast (like the wolf demons).

In the end, the few people who'd watched her second-kill the boss couldn't hold back and asked her what tricks she used. Wen Qing had no choice but to make a bunch of nonsense that were both true and false. It was true that the weakness of the wolf demon corresponded to reality, and of course that foul wind and rain of blood were not fake, but it definitely had nothing to do with her second-killing the boss! It was a pure high attack.

But those players were obviously fooled by her.

Jedi is Born: "I know this. If your body in real life is good, it will be reflected in the game."

Pure White: "I have also heard inside information that the basic points of scanning body data also vary from person to person. Those with a poor physique don't have basic point as high as those with a strong physique."

…

Therefore, they subconsciously regarded Wen Qing as a peerless master in real life, which made her so strong in the game. Of course, there was also the reason that the wolf demon boss was only a tenth-level small boss. It was indeed possible to be killed in seconds by relying on skills and ultimate skill. Therefore, no one suspected Wen Qing's attack power.

Wen Qing saw that none of them doubted her and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Ai! I thought I could be domineering inside the game with the cheat. Who knows that I'd have to be secretive just for second-killing a boss. She felt that before level 50, no one could know about her attack power. Else she would be in danger of being banned by the game company.

After saying goodbye to Pure White and the others, Wen Qing returned to the village. Because of the experiences gained from the first kill, she went straight to level 11 at once. At level 10, you could leave the village and go to the main city. However, she was not in a hurry to leave. She first cleared the contents of her backpack and put them all in the system store to sell anonymously.

Thanks again for her lucky value, all kinds of quest rewards she got were better than others. Those she couldn't use were considered good things for others. Moreover, what she got for first-kill the boss was a full set of green wolf skin outfits, including a green weapon. The attributes were even better than the sets she was wearing.

But she did not want to add more lives or attack power. She even wanted to find a set that lowered the attributes. So, she put the wolf skin outfit in the store to sell.

Once the news was out, all the players who looked at it were shocked! This person is a game noob ba? After fighting to get these little high-grade items, rather than using them herself, she took it out to sell? Is she stupid ba?

Although they felt that the other party was stupid, they couldn't wait for more of such fools. These green outfits could be used until level 25 at the very least. Although the price was a little expensive, it was totally worth it. All the forces were busy collecting money while inquiring about who this person was. However, they made a futile journey.

Wen Qing did not leave her name anywhere at all. Anyone with a bit of brain knew that the person who sold the wolf skin suit was the same person who killed the wolf demon boss first. They also couldn't find her ID because she was completely anonymous, even on the ranking list.

Wen Qing went offline after she put her things on sale. Right now, the holographic game was still in the early stages of exploration, and the game cabin with nutrient solution had not been developed yet. Therefore, they still had to log out to eat.

Wen Qing made four dishes and one soup, then called the little Phoenix to eat. When the little Phoenix climbed out of the game pod, his expression was very bad. Wen Qing asked him, "What's wrong?"

"That 001 is so annoying, I asked him why there is no Phoenix race, and he said that Phoenix is not a human being, so how can it become a race? Isn't this racial discrimination? Those bird men can become Wing Kin. In any case, my Phoenix clan is the divine beast of heaven and earth, but they are unexpectedly not as good as those birdmen! It angered me to death! No! I have to talk to him later when I go in!"

Wen Qing was speechless. "So you haven't entered the game yet? You've been talking to 001 about this all this time?"

The little Phoenix widened his eyes. "This is a matter of principle. How can I not convince him?"

Wen Qing gave him a chicken leg. "Are you stupid? He is an NPC, and the program is set. What can you reason with him about? Can you just choose the God race? The divine beasts are considered the God race, right?"

"Ei? There's God race? How could I only see 4 races?"

"Wasn't it because you offended 001? How could he give you the hidden race?" Wen Qing rolled her eyes. The low IQ was indeed a flaw!

"Besides ah, even though it's in the game, don't reveal your identity casually, let alone mention it to anyone! You, mythical beasts, are estimated to be more physically fit. So when you enter the game, first put your ID, attack power, damage value… all hidden. Don't leave your name for anything you do, or you will be banned by the game company."

"I know!"

Wen Qing saw his careless appearance and didn't know if he heard it or not. She was worried about letting him play alone, so she added, "My ID is Great Master Ximen. Add me after you get into the game. I'll take you to play. Otherwise, with how stupid you are, you will not even know when you were sold."

The little Phoenix gobbled up his food and did not say anything. I don't want to play with her. How free it is to play alone! After eating a chicken leg, he realized that it was a chicken leg and wailed. "How can you give me a chicken leg? We are the same species ah! God, I've eaten my own kind!"

Wen Qing was speechless. "Isn't the Phoenix tribe always disgusted by chicken? Even Qingluan* dislikes those whose bloodline is not pure. Also, it's more convincing to put down the chicken leg first before you cry."

*T/N: a type of Phoenix

Chapter 90: The Return of the Online Game Goddess [3]

When Wen Qing returned to the game, she found that the items she'd put on sale in the morning had all been sold out. After removing the system commission, she profited a total of 537 gold. The game was still in the early stage, so the exchange function with real currency had not yet opened. Therefore, more than 500 gold was already a great fortune, immediately sending her to the number one position in the wealth list.

Wen Qing was a little surprised. She did not expect that it would be very easy to make money in the game!

Wen Qing was wandering in the Novice Village while waiting for Little Phoenix to come over. They had agreed before entering the game. In the newbie village, he must come to the Apricot Blossom Village, and she would take him to play. Little Phoenix was so obedient, Wen Qing believed he would definitely come.

Sure enough, it didn't take long to see Little Phoenix coming over from the birth point. But his expression was a little dejected.

How couldn't he? He was threatened by Wen Qing to come. In fact, he did not want to come at all. He was suppressed by her in the space, controlled by her at home, and bound by her when he came to the game. Was there no Phoenix's right anymore? He wanted to choose another newbie village, but Wen Qing said that if he dared to not come, she would beat him when he returned.

"Why so slow? Arguing with 001 again?" Wen Qing clicked on the "people nearby" feature and added him as a friend. When he was applying for an ID card, he followed Wen Qing's surname and was called Wen Feng, and now his ID was Feng Huang (Phoenix).

"No, he wouldn't give me the hidden race. I debated with him for a while. Finally, he was persuaded and let me choose the God race."

001:"…" Obviously, he had to give it to him because he was annoyed to death!

Wen Qing took him to the village chief to accept the task, and after telling him some precautions, she let him do the task alone. She was not his mother. Although she said she would take him, she did not mean to do the tasks with him. Besides, when the village chief saw her just now, he was hesitating about something. Her intuition told her that there was a big task waiting for her.

When everyone was gone, Wen Qing leaned forward with a smile and asked, "Village Chief, do you have anything you want me to help with?"

The village chief sighed, "Originally, I shouldn't have bothered you with such a dangerous thing. But, since you could guess it, I can only tell you about it."

"Since ancient times, after the war between Gods and Devils, the Gods and Devils in this world have all disappeared. Leaving only the four tribes of human, demon, cultivator, and wing kin. My hidden Devil clan has always been devoted to finding the secret behind the disappearance of the Devil clan in an attempt to make the Devil clan come back to the world. After generations of hard work, we finally found a clue…"

Wen Qing raised her eyebrows. The quest to find the Devil that did not appear until level 70 in the original book had appeared now? But the quest seemed a little different. To find the Devil King?

There were two main quests in "Gods and Devils." The first one was to find the Devil, and the second was to encounter the gods. From level 70, players must choose a camp between Gods and Devils. After choosing a camp, you would receive a quest to find the devils or to encounter the gods. But the success rate was only one in ten thousand. Those who drew the hidden race at the beginning also were not 100% successful. But they had a higher chance of success than other players.

The village chief blabbered about a lot of background introduction and finally came to the main topic. "I have observed that you have a peculiar skeleton, and you are the lineage of the devil race. It must be a fate that brought you to Apricot Blossom Village. The task of reviving the Devil race will be entrusted to you."

"Hidden task: Receive the assignment from the village chief to find the Demon King. Do you want to accept it or not?"

"Yes."

Wen Qing now had two hidden quests in his hands. The next task for the divine forger was in the Vermilion Bird City, but the task for finding the Devil was in the Azure Dragon City. This was honestly a little troublesome. But these could be done slowly. They definitely couldn't be completed too early.

*T/N: I guess this has something to do with the four guardians as each represents one direction. Azure Dragon of the East, White Tiger of the West, Vermilion Bird of the South, and Black Tortoise of the North. It could be seen that Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird are in the opposite direction.

After accepting the task, Wen Qing went out to wait for Little Phoenix. Then the aunty tailor in the village came over and told her, "I'll tell you a secret. The Tailor Master Wuyi is recruiting apprentices. I'll give you a letter. You help me relay it to him, and he will definitely accept you as a disciple…"

Wen Qing:"…" She was genuinely only here to wait for someone ah! Why was there still a task falling from the sky?

But the task was sent to the door for free. Moreover, the other part was also the tailor master.

So, after Wen Qing accompanied Little Phoenix to accept the tasks in the village, she received Chef Li's family recipe, Physician He's ancestral secret prescription… Even Little Phoenix couldn't stand it anymore. "And you still say there is no racism in this game? We were together, but why are every good thing falling to you, and they love to ignore me when seeing me?"

"You still have the guts to say this. You are the God race, your basic reputation is supposed to be 50% higher than other races, but yours have surprisingly been deducted until it's all gone. The NPC's favorability is all in the negatives. Just how did you offend 001?"

Little Phoenix looked confused. "I didn't offend him. He was very happy when I left ya."

Could he be unhappy when he finally sent the god of plague away?

Wen Qing also knew that he had a one-track mind, and asking was useless. "Let's go. Kill the three wolf demons so you'll be able to level up to level ten. Then you can leave the village."

This time, Wen Qing specially brought Little Phoenix to a place surrounded by mountains on three sides and was not easily discovered. She had seen Little Phoenix's attributes and his strength column was more terrifying than hers. In order to not scare others, she could only hide when doing the task.

Little Phoenix was playing a knight of the God race. The beast race had always valued strength, so a knight was perfect for him. However, after witnessing the Phoenix stomping his feet and beating a large area of wolf demons to death, Wen Qing was still quite frightened.

I'm done for. Later, I better not let him out of my sight!

Wen Qing was downhearted. It won't work. It's too worrying. We can't take a risk playing anymore. One should be unreserved when playing, offending the sky and the earth. How could you play if your hands and feet were restrained?

Wen Qing simply went offline and dragged Little Phoenix along.

"Jie, what are you doing?"

"Phoenix ah, Jie had to tell you. In order to keep us from being banned, we cannot play the game for the time being. Let's wait until others in the game level up more. Otherwise, the gap will be too big, and it will be too eye-catching."

Little Phoenix was not happy at first, but then Wen Qing promised to take him to eat delicious food, so he had no objection. After all, he had only played for a day and hadn't yet found the fun in it.

So, Wen Qing took Little Phoenix to eat and drink every day after class. Then, after returning home in the evening, she would busy herself with her own affairs. After all, she had spent a lifetime in the future before, and the holographic technology in the future world was already very mature. Although she had never played holographic online games, the mecha also involved holographic technology, so she had also dabbled in this area before.

However, because of the limited understanding of technology in this era, there were some things that were difficult to achieve here. For example, the issue of biological materials. Therefore, Wen Qing had to do some research and devise a suitable plan for this era.

She was not a professional and encountered many difficulties in doing it. Later, she simply bought a laboratory to do research. All the money for scientific research was earned by her from speculation in stocks, it could be said to be her old profession.

Wen Qing spent almost a year, and the experiment finally made a breakthrough. However, she did not disclose it to the public, but let them continue the research to optimize it. She herself took Little Phoenix back to the game.

In a year, the game had undergone earth-shaking changes. The most conspicuous experience was that it was full of players. The novice village was crowded like a vegetable market. Because holographic online games had finally ushered in the era of national participation.

Wen Qing also bought a game cabin for father Xi and mother Xi last week, so they could experience it in their free time.

Wen Qing and Phoenix were being pushed away several times before finally reaching the teleportation array. One person paid ten coppers and they were sent to Vermilion Bird City.

The situation in Vermilion Bird City was much better. At least it was not overcrowded. Wen Qing separated from Phoenix and went to their respective occupation NPCs to learn skills.

The skill set in "Gods and Devils" was relatively simple. There was one basic skill, and every ten levels allowed you to learn one additional skill. Every one level allowed you to add one attribute point. How to add the point must be carefully chosen according to your respected occupation.

Wen Qing's eleven attribute points were not used yet. Because even if she didn't add one, her attributes would still be higher than level 100 players.

The mage's basic skill was a fireball. Wen Qing had now learned a lightning thorn, so there were a total of two skills. And now the highest level in the game was level 49. Not counting the skill book, there were at least five skills. She needed to cheer up.

Wen Qing looked through the ranking list again. The first in the list was called A Sword from the West, just a little short before level 50. The second in the list was called Lone City, also level 49, with only a little difference from A Sword from the West. The third on the list was Yu Gui, who just got into level 49, and further down was level 48.

In addition to the first ten levels of "God and Devils," which were relatively fast to level up, the higher the level was, the harder it was to level up. After all, the cost of making a holographic online game was extremely high. If they upgraded too fast, when they reached the full level, their interest would diminish. How could they still make money?

On the wealth list, it had also been occupied by big tycoons with hundreds of millions at every turn. Wen Qing's once little bit of money had long been pushed out of sight. But she also did not care.

On the other beautiful female list, Yu Gui was number one. The first in the beauty list and the third in the ranking list. Yu Gui became the well-deserved number one goddess of "Gods and Devils."

And this number one goddess would from time to time explode some big news to grab people's attention. On the front page of the forum, there was a popular annual drama from last month, "8th August, The Unparalleled In The World and A Smile Can Overturn a City, a Pair of Weirdos!"

The post described with emotion how the scumbag, Unparalleled in The World, kept his eye on the pot while eating from a bowl. He already had a girlfriend but went to seduce the Goddess Yu Gui, and A Smile Can Overturn a City did not stop him. She acted with him just to make Yu Gui work herself to the bone for them…

All kinds of stone hammers had completely confirmed the crimes of Unparalleled in The World and A Smile Can Overturn a City. Therefore, the two had a notorious reputation in "Gods and Devils." Even the guild built by Unparalleled in The World was being dissed. In the end, they really couldn't get along anymore and A Smile Can Overturn a City finally quit the game.

Unparalleled in The World was thick-skinned. He was a top-notch gamer himself and had several brothers, so he still mingled in the game.

Wen Qing read with relish and felt that Yu Gui's methods were quite harsh. She completely did not give the scum man and girl a chance at all. At the same time, she quietly paid attention to which great God had been involved with Yu Gui to stay further away from them in the future. It was because anyone who had a relationship with Yu Gui, whether male or female, would have their IQ turned offline and become Yu Gui's brain-dead fan. It could be said that they had become irrational.

In the original novel, Xi Wenqing was ruined by these people.

Speaking of which, Xi Wenqing had not done anything inappropriate. She'd entered the game two years later. There were so many things happening in the game every day, and this annual drama had long since become dusty history. Therefore, after the green hand Xi Wenqing entered the game, she found a great God to take her to play, and then there were some sparks between them. She was pretty, and the great God just happened to be interested in her. Therefore, both of them had had a love affair in the game.

This great God was Unparalleled in The World, and Xi Wenqing did not know about that annual drama. Unparalleled in The World took her to level up and sent her gifts. Naturally, the first impressions were the strongest, and she stood on Unparalleled in The World's side. Later, when he met Yu Gui, the Goddess who had once been his sweetheart, Xi Wenqing sneered, added sour remarks, and made all kinds of trouble.

Yu Gui had long since not been the old Yu Gui anymore. Therefore, she needed not say a word, and her brainless fans would blacken Xi Wenqing spontaneously. To force her to quit the game, they even reached out to her in real-life…
