Chapter 1

“Brother, what happened to her? Is she… dead?” a little girl asked in a soft voice with confusion and fear in her voice.

The boy who was protecting her behind him stared at the fat woman lying on the ground with his gloomy eyes. The fear in his eyes and his trembling hands revealed his panic.

Yan Xi opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw were the two dolls staring at her. Then, memories that did not belong to her came flooding back.

In the last second, she was sweating profusely on the treadmill in the gym. In the next second, she died suddenly of a heart attack while exercising because of working overtime for several consecutive days. She was transported to the body of a woman from the 1980s who had the same name and surname as her, looked almost the same as her, but had a very plump figure.

The original owner was lazy and fat, and was a well-known fierce woman in the area. She fell in love with Fu Wen at first sight when he was returning home from the army. She waited on the road where Fu Wen passed by, pretending to fall into the water and was rescued by the upright Fu Wen. However, the original owner used this to blackmail Fu Wen, and spread the news that Fu Wen touched her when he rescued her, making her lose her innocence, and forced Fu Wen to marry her.

Under the pressure of the original owner’s family and the pointing of the villagers, Fu Wen was forced to marry the original owner, and the original owner happily followed him to join the army.

However, after arriving at the military district, the original owner learned that Fu Wen had adopted two orphans of his comrades-in-arms – seven-year-old Fu Caihe and four-year-old Nuannuan.

The original owner regarded these two children as thorns in her eyes, and thought that Fu Wen was extremely indifferent to her and did not even touch her, all because of these two children.

The original owner always beat and scolded the two children when Fu Wen was not around, not letting them eat, and threatened the two children that if they dared to complain to Fu Wen, she would throw them back to their hometown.

The two children believed it and dared not tell Fu Wen. Fu Wen was very busy in the army and was often away from home, so he did not notice it.

Half a month ago, Fu Wen went on a mission. During this half month, the original owner tortured the two children in every possible way.

This afternoon, while the original owner was taking a nap, the two children who had not eaten all day stole a piece of peach cake from the cupboard and shared it.

When the original owner woke up and found out about this, he pinched and twisted Nuannuan. Nuannuan’s face turned red, but she didn’t dare to cry, because every time she cried, the original owner would beat her even harder.

In order to protect his sister, Fu Caihe started to push and shove the original owner.

The original owner was not paying attention and was pushed by Fu Caihe and hit against the cabinet. When he fell down, his head hit the corner of the table and he died on the spot.

Now that she had figured out the whole story, Yan Xi only felt that the place where she had been bitten was indeed very painful.

She hissed a few times and sat up awkwardly.

Seeing her move, the two children breathed a sigh of relief but at the same time trembled like sieves. They took several steps back and distanced themselves from her.

Suddenly there were loud knocks on the door.

“Sister Yan, are Xiaohe and Nuannuan okay? What was that loud noise just now? Xiaohe – Nuannuan – are you okay?”

Fu Caihe and Nuannuan didn’t dare to move. They still huddled in the corner, looking at Yan Xi with fear and vigilance.

Yan Xi went over and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was Fan Fuying, who lived next door.

As soon as Fan Fuying saw the door open, he stretched his neck to look into the room.

Yan Xi blocked the door with her fat body to prevent Fan Fuying from looking in. It was the first time she discovered that being fat also had its advantages.

“Mrs. Fan, is there anything wrong?” Yan Xi asked coldly.

“I was at home just now and heard a very loud bang in your house. I was afraid something had happened, so I came to take a look.” Fan Fuying smiled, but her bright eyes flashed with a gossipy and shrewd light.

“I accidentally fell to the ground, it’s nothing, thank you sister-in-law for your concern.” Yan Xi said as she was about to close the door.

Fan Fuying was first shocked by Yan Xi’s words “Thank you sister-in-law for your concern.”

When did Yan Xi, who was known in the compound for being tough and shameless, become so polite?

Immediately, seeing Yan Xi was about to close the door, Fan Fuying quickly used his body to block it.

“Where are Xiaohe and Nuannuan? They should be at home. Why can’t I see them?” Fan Fuying stood on tiptoe and peeked into the house.

How could Yan Xi let Fan Fuying see Fu Caihe and Nuannuan?

The original owner did beat and scold the two children. If Fan Fuying saw it, there would be trouble.

Yan Xi directly pushed Fan Fuying.

Fan Fuying was thin and small, and when he was pushed by the fat Yan Xi, he staggered back several steps and almost fell to the ground.

“Why are you pushing me?” Fan Fuying revealed his true face and glared at Yan Xi with an abominable look: “Did you do something wrong that you don’t dare to let me see Xiaohe and Nuannuan?!”

“This is my home. I didn’t ask you to come in, so why are you pushing to the front? Xiaohe and Nuannuan are playing in the house, but you, keep trying to squeeze into my house. What are you thinking?” Yan Xi said.

Fan Fu was speechless for a few seconds, then quickly shouted confidently, “I’m worried about Xiao He and Nuan Nuan! Did you beat them again? When Captain Fu comes back, I will let him know how badly you treated them!”

Yan Xi sneered: “Then you can introduce your niece to Fu Wen and climb up to Fu Wen’s high branch. The next time your man gets promoted, you can ask Fu Wen to say good things about him, right?”

Everyone in the compound knew that before Fu Wen brought Yan Xi back, Fan Fuying was planning to introduce her niece to Fu Wen.

Unfortunately, Yan Xi arrived before she could introduce him.

Fortunately, Yan Xi is lazy, gluttonous and unreasonable. Not only does she not behave like a good wife and mother, she is also very mean to Fu Caihe and Nuannuan.

This gave Fan Fuying hope again.

How could Fu Wen possibly stay with someone like Yan Xi for long?

When Fu Wen and Yan Xi divorced, she could still match Fu Wen with her niece. As long as Fu Wen and her niece were together, her man would have a backer in the army.

At this moment, Yan Xi exposed her little thoughts so bluntly, and Fan Fuying’s face turned purple, feeling embarrassed and annoyed.

She was so angry that she couldn’t speak.

What made her even more angry was that Yan Xi rolled her eyes at her and slammed the door in front of her.

Fan Fuying spat at the closed door and muttered viciously, “When Fu Wen comes back, I’ll see if you can still act arrogantly!”

Inside the door.

The two children looked at Yan Xi standing behind the door and dared not say a word.

They both heard what Fan Fuying and Yan Xi said just now.

Based on past experience, Yan Xi would give them both a severe beating next.

Nuannuan’s face turned pale with fear, and Fu Caihe was equally terrified, but he tried his best to use his thin body to block Nuannuan and protect his sister.

When Yan Xi saw them like this, she thought of herself in her previous life.

In her previous life, her parents died in a car accident and she was adopted by her aunt. But her aunt and her family were not kind to her. They often beat and scolded her, and often let her go hungry and not let her eat, just because they were in a bad mood.

At that time, she had no one to talk to about her inner anxiety, helplessness and despair, just like the two children in front of her.
