Chapter 3

Any normal person would think this way.

Xu Yi thought the same before he had those dreams.

Although I don’t know what will happen in the future, these fabrics are too old-fashioned, and a full truck of fabrics is not expensive, only about 50,000 or 60,000 yuan in total.

This amount of money is a small amount for Xu Yi. She can afford it and doesn’t care.

Soon, all the fabrics were moved.

The proprietress drove away with a few young men.

Xu Yi waited until their cars had driven away before entering the warehouse and closing the door.

Then he put all the fabrics inside into the space.

At this point, she had basically stockpiled all the daily necessities she could think of or see.

After returning home, Xu Yi took out a big steaming hot meat bun from the space and ate it in his hand. He sat on the sofa and prepared to watch TV.

Halfway through the meal, I suddenly thought of something, so I quickly picked up my tablet and downloaded many TV series, cartoons, and novels.

This way, even if there is a power outage one day, she won’t be bored.

At night, Xu Yi started having the same dream as in the TV series again.

In the dream, the two skinny children each hugged her legs, crying and shouting, “Mom, don’t leave!”

The crying was so miserable and pitiful that Xu Yi felt his heart aching. Just as he was about to squat down and hug them, he woke up.

It was already bright outside, and Xu Yi felt a little lost.

Time flies and three days have passed.

During this period, apart from having dreams that were like TV series, there was nothing special.

Early that morning, after Xu Yi had breakfast, he drove to the maternity and baby store as agreed and returned the keys to the owner.

After saying goodbye to the boss, Xu Yi looked at the traffic light with only a few seconds left, wondering whether he should go eat roast duck and pack a few portions to put in the space.

She was completely unaware that there was a car out of control behind her, heading towards her.

After the sharp pain hit, Xu Yi lost consciousness before the airbag even had time to pop out.

…

“Mom, please don’t sell me and my brother, okay? My brother and I will be good and only eat one meal a day, okay?”

A pitiful child’s voice with a crying tone sounded in my ears.

Xu Yi opened his eyes and found himself lying on the bed.

Above my head were blackened mosquito nets and tiles.

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment.

I don’t understand how I ended up in this place when I was clearly in the car just a second ago.

“Mom, I don’t want to go to Hat Village, and my brother doesn’t want to go to Linwu Village either. Please don’t sell us out, okay?”

The crying sound brought the dazed Xu Yi back to reality.

Xu Yi turned his head in a daze, and when he saw the little girl’s face clearly, he couldn’t help but be shocked.

Isn’t this little girl the little girl who was crying while holding her thighs in the dream?

The little girl looked at her pitifully, sobbing, with two snot hanging under her little nose.

Xu Yi was about to speak when a little boy suddenly rushed in from outside.

The little boy didn’t even glance at Xu Yi lying on the bed. He just pulled the little girl away and said, “Sister, let’s go! We won’t beg her! She doesn’t want us anymore anyway!”

The two children were the same height. The little girl was held by the little boy’s hand and pulled out without saying a word.

The little girl pouted and looked back at Xu Yi with tearful eyes.

Xu Yi was anxious, and quickly got up and blurted out: “I can’t…”

As soon as I sat up, I felt a strong sense of dizziness.

Xu Yi’s eyes went dark, and he couldn’t finish what he was saying before he fell on the bed.

Along with the severe pain, a strange memory flooded into my brain.

The original owner was also called Xu Yi, an educated youth who went to the countryside in 1974.

The original owner was lazy and spoiled. Working in the fields was too tiring and she was not used to it, so she set her sights on the only soldier in the village, the original owner’s husband, Shen Beiyuan.

There was no other reason, just because Shen Beiyuan was a soldier and a regimental commander, with a relatively high rank, so his monthly allowance was as high as 45 yuan.

In that era, when buying an egg only cost five cents, earning forty-five dollars a month was a very large amount of money.

So by chance, the two became husband and wife.

Shen Beiyuan was an honest man. Since they were already husband and wife, he would be responsible for her. After they got married, the original owner soon became pregnant.

Relying on Shen Beiyuan’s monthly allowance, the original owner lived a very comfortable life.

Until now, when her two children are about to turn three years old, she has basically not suffered any hardship.

As for the two children’s crying just now, Xu Yi recalled the whole cause and effect and immediately frowned.

The original owner was attracted by Shen Beiyuan’s allowance and married Shen Beiyuan, but the original owner did not like Shen Beiyuan, but liked someone else.

He is the educated youth who went to the countryside with me, Luo Hao.

When she was pregnant, Shen Beiyuan would give 35 yuan of his 45 yuan monthly allowance to the original owner.

Thirty-five dollars is already a very large sum of money, enough for at least a month.

But the original owner was in love and liked Luo Hao, so he gave all the food and daily necessities in the house to Luo Hao for free.

Luo Hao didn’t even need to go out to work; the things the original owner gave him were enough.

In the first year of her pregnancy, Shen Beiyuan gave her 35 yuan for household expenses every month and never asked her where she spent the money.

But since the original owner found out she was pregnant, she felt that she had Shen Beiyuan under her control, and she began to look at Shen Beiyuan with disdain. Every time Shen Beiyuan came back, she would always be sarcastic and mean to him.

As time went by, Shen Beiyuan seldom came back.

The original owner was happy and comfortable, so he interacted with Luo Hao more frequently.

The original owner’s undisguised relationship with other men soon caused rumors in the village.

I don’t know if Shen Beiyuan heard something, but the monthly allowance was reduced from thirty-five yuan to twenty yuan.

The original owner cried and made a fuss, but there was nothing she could do to Shen Beiyuan.

The original owner was used to spending lavishly from the time she became pregnant to the time she gave birth, and she couldn’t adapt at all for a while.

Twenty yuan a month was actually enough, but the original owner was selfish. He spent ten yuan on himself and gave seven or eight yuan to Luo Hao. Apart from that, there was always snacks at home.

Not a penny was spent on the twins, who were starving to the point of being skin and bones, looking like a skeleton.

This month, the original owner fell in love with the new clothes in the city, but they were very expensive, one piece of ready-made clothing cost fifteen yuan, and she gave Luo Hao five yuan, so she had no money left.

But the rice jar at home was empty, and the original owner was a meat lover. In addition, he was hungry. When he heard that someone in the neighboring village couldn’t have a child and wanted to adopt a child, and was willing to give three dollars, the original owner became interested.

Today is the day when Maozi Village and Linwu Village come to pick people up.

The original owner buried his twin brother Shen Muguang and sister Shen Qiutong at the price of three yuan each.

Suddenly there was a noise and a child crying outside. Xu Yi’s heart tightened. He didn’t care about the dizziness from being too hungry and rushed out.
