Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder

Chapter 135: The Nanny in Troubled Times 1

"System! System! Where did you throw me?" Ye Zhiqiu opened her eyes and couldn't believe what she saw. What kind of place is this? It's even poorer than the 1960s and 1970s. Could she have been thrown into the ancient world?

No, looking down at the clothes on her body, this seems to be the style that appears in many wonderful TV dramas. Could it be the Republic of China?

"Congratulations, you got it."

"Damn it, you sent me to this damn place, and you still have the mood to joke?" The ordinary world is better than this. With the space in her hands, she should not starve to death in ancient times, but in the Republic of China, she might be hit by a stray bullet one day and die.

The system feels wronged, and it doesn't want to do that, but who can blame it for not getting good things? It feels wronged, and it wants to cry, but as an adult system, it can only be strong, and who else can it show its weakness to?

Ye Zhiqiu didn't care whether the system was wronged or not. She was the real complainer. She didn't even need to accept the plot. Just by looking at the thin arms and legs of this body, she knew that life would not be easy.

"I was wrong. I have good news for you. Do you want to listen?" The system decisively changed the subject. It would not say that admitting mistakes was useless. It still had no right to decide what kind of world to choose next time. Maybe the start would be even worse than this.

Ye Zhiqiu was completely unaware of the system's thoughts and really thought there was some good news: "Speak."

"In the last world, we completed the mission very well, and the original body was very satisfied with you, so we got a lot of rewards. Do you want to buy some good things?" If the host benefits, it will get more benefits. Every mission can be completed beyond the original body's expectations, what else does it have to worry about.

"No." He wanted to cheat her of her points again. The space had everything to eat, drink, wear, and even gold and silver jewelry. She didn't want to be fooled.

"Are you sure you don't want it? You don't want a thermal weapon for self-defense either?" The system admitted that it was a bit expensive, but its service was good. Not only did it come with bullets, but it also provided free maintenance. If there were any problems, it could be repaired for life. It was more useful than a kitchen knife or a brick.

Ye Zhiqiu sneered. She was a poor woman whose clothes were patched. If she really wanted to take out the small and exquisite hot weapons, she would die from them sooner or later unless she could kill everyone at the scene.

Immortal cultivators are afraid of hot weapons. She is just an ordinary person with some fighting ability. She doesn't have the strength to be so high-profile, so she just stays down. Forget it, I'd better accept the plot first and figure out what the current situation is.

It would be fine if you didn't watch it, but you'll be shocked when you do. This is simply the heroine of a tragedy. She suffered all her life and in the end did not have a good ending. She never had a good day, and even after her death her descendants will have a bad reputation.

She was originally an ordinary woman from a water town. She followed her parents' arrangement to get married and have children according to the current tradition. Her parents were poor, and her husband's family was also poor. After marriage, she gave birth to two daughters, but her husband's family was unwilling to raise either of them. They threw the first one into an orphanage, hoping that a kind person would adopt her. The second one drowned in the toilet.

The original body was not happy, but could not even resist verbally. Nowadays, every family does this. Who dares to raise more children, let alone daughters? Families with daughters cannot borrow food or money when they encounter difficulties, and are rejected by everyone.

The original body couldn't bear to give up her daughter, and could only cry silently in her heart. It was not until the third child that she gave birth to a son. She thought that she could live a good life with a son, but the outside world was in chaos, and life in the countryside was not easy. The family couldn't afford to eat, so they wanted to send her to Haicheng to be a wet nurse. The rich families gave more money, and the children wouldn't have to suffer in the future.

She didn't want to go and couldn't bear to leave her child, but her parents-in-law and husband forced her to go. It was useless to ask for help from her parents' family, as her parents were still hoping that she would do well in the wealthy family and help her brothers.

There were many women with breast milk in the village, but the rich young mistress chose her because she was prettier than the others. Rich families are more particular. The wet nurse chooses a pretty one because she is worried that the young lady will look like the wet nurse after drinking her milk. If she chooses a pretty one, she doesn't have to worry about beauty.

After entering the city, the original body obediently nursed the child, not daring to speak or ask too much. When bullied by other servants, she pretended to be dumb and pretended not to understand. Every month, she looked forward to the day when her salary was paid, and all the money was sent to the countryside to raise the child.

She thought her parents-in-law and husband would thank her for earning money to support her children, but she didn't expect that her family would not only not thank her, but also complain that she didn't earn as much as other wet nurses. They called her stupid, but she spent a lot of the money she brought back.

The child grew up in such an environment and was neither close to nor respectful of her as a mother. When the war ended, the host family moved to Hong Kong City and wanted to take her with them, but she refused because she couldn't bear to leave the child behind.

The master did not force the servants who were unwilling to go with him, and even kindly gave them a severance pay. With the money, she planned to go back to the countryside to buy land, but her parents-in-law forced her to hand over all the money to the public, saying that she had no family to share and that all the money she earned should be handed over.

She refused to pay, so the man beat her, and the children clapped their hands beside her. She had no choice but to pay, but she was also cautious and secretly hid a part of it. Fortunately, she only said that she had money, but did not say the specific amount, so her parents-in-law let her go after receiving the money.

After paying the money, she thought she could live a good life. However, the man despised her for having been a wet nurse and said that she must have had an affair with the master of a wealthy family. He was unwilling to sleep in the same bed with her and kept roaming around with the widow.

Since her husband was not a good man, she raised her son well. However, whenever she took care of the child, her parents-in-law would come to her aid and tell her not to hit the child. After a few times, the child became not afraid of her and did not listen to her.

With her parents-in-law around, she could do nothing but ignore everything. Fortunately, the village was full of poor people, and the child would not learn anything bad, except being lazy and gluttonous. She thought that she could still work, so the child could be a little lazy, and it would be fine if she got a wife in the future. However, when the wife got married, she, as a mother, was kicked out of the house.

The original person was so depressed that he jumped into the river and committed suicide.

The son despised her for committing suicide, which was not a good reputation, and framed her death on passers-by. Even though someone proved that it was not the passers-by who caused her death, he still extorted a sum of money. The money was not much, but there was still some left after the funeral. With this money, the family got through the most difficult years. After the reform and opening up, he became a professional beggar with shameless energy and unexpectedly became a wealthy family in the village.

The original body had no wishes, just hoped to live well, not to worry about her son, and to make a fortune without her, so she should not interfere. If possible, it would be best to save the two poor daughters, but it would not be her fault if she could not save them. Life was so difficult, and she could understand if she could not find her.

Ye Zhiqiu shook her head. Her original wish to save her two daughters was probably going to fail. She came at the wrong time. She was about to give birth to a son, and her second daughter had already drowned in the toilet. How could she save her?

My eldest daughter is in an orphanage, and I don’t know if there is any kind-hearted person to adopt her. I will go and see her after she recovers. But should I give birth to this ungrateful baby in my belly?
