When Qin Shi woke up, she found herself transparent and floating in the air.
She didn't panic, but was a little surprised.
She saved a child and was hit by a car. After landing, she was out of breath. She knew clearly that she was dead.
But now it looks like this... There really is a soul in the world.
"You are really extraordinary. If you were an ordinary person, you would have been screaming or excited."
A young child's voice sounded.
Qin Shi looked around quietly. When she saw no one in the empty white space, she took the initiative to ask, "Who are you?"
"I'm the system. Don't worry. I'm here to help you."
Only the voice appeared. Qin Shi narrowed her eyes slightly and said again, "I don't need help."
The air was still for a few seconds, and the system didn't seem to expect her to say so.
"The child you saved is one of the top ten benevolent people in the world. He is also a scientist who has made great contributions to the world throughout his life. You saved him, so there is a chance to resurrect you." The system also stopped gossiping and entered the topic directly.
Qin Shi's heart jumped. "Rebirth?"
"Well, you can't go back to your original world. Your family has cremated you. I can put you into a small world."
Qin Shi laughed sarcastically at the remark and said that if they bought high insurance, they would be able to actively deal with their future affairs.
But they should not be too happy. Her beneficiaries are children from poor areas.
"What little world?" Qin Shi asked
"There are three: one is the world of child brides in the 1960s, one is the world of educated youth in the countryside in the 1970s, and the other is the world of stepmother in the 1980s. Which do you choose?"
Qin Shi listened to these names and looked a little bad. Influenced by her best friend, she didn't read novels, but she also knew something.
These names are not serious.
"These are not small worlds derived from novels, are they?"
The system laughed and said, "Some rebirth is good, whatever the little world is."
This is also true. She worked hard for many years to start a successful business. She died before she enjoyed it. It was too bad.
"I choose the 80s world." Qin Shi was born after the 1990s, but she also knew that the past was not easy.
The college entrance examination has been resumed in the 1980s, and the reform and opening up will definitely make life easier than in the 1960s and 1970s.
"Okay," the system reminded her, "I can help you resurrect, but the plot is irreversible. You must follow the stepmother route, or you will die suddenly."
Qin Shi frowned and stretched out again. "I know; thank you for reminding me."
Isn't it just being a stepmother? Simple.
Her nickname is "Wa Jian Chou." No matter how unbearable the children are, in her hands, they will be treated obediently and become good babies.
"No trouble." The system's tone of thanks was two times lighter. "The little boy you saved sincerely thanked you, so you can draw a golden finger."
A huge blue turntable appeared. Qin Shi saw that there was no reward written on it, so she stretched out her hand at will.
The turntable whirled, bringing bursts of dazzling light.
[Gold Chef: Your cooking skills are superb; you know about the ingredients, and you are sensitive to the taste. Any ingredients in your hands will become peerlessly delicious!]
"Not bad." Qin Shi nodded. She had always liked to eat, but she did not cook well.
With this golden finger, she could eat delicious food in the 1980s.
"I will choose a suitable identity for you; please rest assured of resurrection~"
Qin Shi thanked it again in a sincere tone.
"You're welcome. Well then, I'm going to start transmitting..."
The voice of the system became smaller and smaller, and Qin Shi fell into a deep sleep.
When Qin Shi opened her eyes again, she saw a dark roof. She looked up and saw that she was in a shabby and cramped room. The furnishings in the room were very contemporary.
"Is that a good family? He has beaten his predecessor to death. Second girl will be beaten and will bring up his children when she marries."
"I, I don't agree."
A voice came from outside, and Qin Shi listened attentively.
"If you don't agree, your mother won't let the second child marry? If someone gives her 300 yuan, can your mother give it up?"
"That's no good. I don't agree."
"Don't you agree? Why don't you agree?" A sharp voice chimed in. "They have houses in the city. Second girl will be married to a city man. How decent!"
"Second girl is a college student and is beautiful. Why is she going to be a stepmother? He has three children from his last wife!" The voice is still refuting.
"Lu Cai beat his wife because she stole. What about the three children? His family is so rich; shouldn't he enjoy city life with children?"
"Besides, it is natural for women to have children. If you can raise one, raising three is not a worry."
"That's not..."
"I don't want a cent of three hundred yuan. I'll give it to you. Fourth girl asked for money when she was admitted to college, and Baowa is going to go to junior high school, right?"
"This..."
There was a sudden silence outside.
Qin Shi, who has received the memory, has a cold look in her eyes.
The original mother died early, the father remarried soon, and the stepmother also took her sister, who was two years younger than the original body.
The father prefers the elder brother, the stepmother pays more attention to the younger sister, and the former father does not love her mother, and is a completely marginal figure in the family. She is smart and has always been among the best at learning, so she didn't go home early to marry.
Later, when the stepmother gave birth to a son, the original body became a transparent person. She was also reticent and only knew how to learn.
After resuming the college entrance examination, she studied hard for a year and went to college.
But there was no money at home. It happened that her father had an accident and broke his leg. She couldn't go to college, so she had to stay at home to take care of her father and go out to work as a temporary worker to save money to continue to go to school.
It was not until the other day that she knew that because her family had no money to cure her father's leg, her grandmother sold her college quota.
In addition, her grandmother told her that she was a relative and asked her to marry a gangster. Later, she somehow became rich and died with three children.
The original body fell ill, and no one noticed the fever in the middle of the night. Then she died, and her soul changed to Qin Shi.
The voice outside continues, but the original father and stepmother have lost their previous "resentment" and seem to be convinced.
Qin Shi sneered silently. The stepmother just said that just because she didn't get any benefit, she didn't want people to gossip about her, and she deliberately defended her reputation.
Now the benefits are in place. She didn't say a word and even changed her stance. She said, "Lu Cai is really rich, and the second girl can also eat spicy food when she marries him."
It's really enough.
After a while, the voice outside the door faded away, and Qin Shi did not pay attention to it and looked over all the memories carefully.
She didn't get up from the bed until someone knocked at the door and called her to eat.
Qin Shi looked at the white clothes and trousers washed on her body, and then at the cloth shoes with thin bottoms. She frowned slightly.
She is so used to delicacy that she really doesn't adapt to coming here suddenly. It seems that she has to find a way out quickly.
Qin Shi's family is in the village. There is a yard with five rooms in total. There are grandparents, an uncle's family, and the original body's family.
There is one master's room for the grandparents and two for the uncle and their family. The original body lives with fourth girl brought by her stepmother; her parents and the little son live in the same room, and the original body's eldest brother lives in the factory in the town, so he doesn't go home very much.
She is not close to anyone. She reads with her head covered except for her work every day. After the college entrance examination, she taught primary school in the village, worked as a temporary worker, and earned food rations. Compared with other girls in the village, her life is much better.
When she arrived at her grandmother's house, a large family gathered around the table and sat down to eat. Grandma Qin saw Qin Shishi come in expressionless and said in a bad voice, "It's still slow to eat, but we still need to wait for you?"
Qin Shi didn't speak, sat in the only empty seat, picked up the porridge in front of her, and sent it to her mouth.
She did not know how long this old rice had been stale, Qin Shi felt that she could taste a trace of mustiness.
She sighed in her heart, saying that this golden finger has both advantages and disadvantages.
Grandma Qin frowned at Grandfather Qin and immediately rolled her eyes. "If you don't want to eat, don't eat! Why are you so sad?"
Qin Shi still didn't speak and ignored her directly. She drank porridge like taking medicine, thinking that it would be all right after eating quickly.
Grandma Qin was still chattering: "The situation of Lu Cai's family is really good. Don't be disrespectful."
"I'll give you five yuan, and you'll go to the county tomorrow to pull cloth, make clothes, and clean yourself up."
Qin Shi put down the bowl and stretched out her hand: "Okay."
The people at the table were stunned, but Qin Shi was actually willing to go.
Grandma Qin was so happy that she put down the bowl and took five yuan and a cloth ticket and handed them to Qin Shi. She said with a smile, "You can think of it. How delicious it is to live in a building in the city and enjoy delicious food!"
Qin Shi pulled her tongue. In her last life, she lived alone in a 200-square-meter house. Can the tube-shaped building compare with the modern high-end residential area?
Qin Shi was still silent, took the money and tickets, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the big corn bun on the table, and ate the cold mixed wild vegetables on the plate.
Grandma Qin looked at her holding the largest steamed bun, the other chopstick holding the other food, and stared to scold, but she kept silent.
Her uncle's wife also gouged her hatred out with her eyes. The biggest steamed bun is reserved for her eldest son!
Qin Shi should stay transparent and eat her own food.
She dared to eat freely at the dinner table. She is not the original body. Even if she does not like the taste of it, she must be full for the sake of her health.
After eating, Qin Shi raised her hand and put down the utensils, leaving a sentence: "I'm not feeling well. I'll go back to my room to rest." She went out of the room and went to find water to wash.
"Look! Look!" Grandma Qin finally broke her chopsticks. "She hasn't married a city man yet and already acts insolent!"
No one else in the Qin family answered, so they buried themselves in eating their own food and thinking about their own affairs.
After eating and sleeping, Qin Shi got up and went out to go to the bathroom. The door was only half open. She saw her stepmother at the door of her aunt's house with a hoe and started eavesdropping.
Qin Shi gently covered the door and listened.
Perhaps the eldest aunt knew that all her family had gone to the field and she was sleeping, so she had no scruples and did not whisper secretly.
Qin Shi heard something vaguely and even guessed why Grandma Qin gave all three hundred yuan to her parents.
Lu Cai also promised her grandmother a temporary job in the machinery factory with a salary of 30 yuan a month. She wanted to give her quota to her grandchild, the eldest son of her aunt.
Qin Shi saw his stepmother leave the yard with a look of anger and knew it was not over.
