Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

Chapter 1: Dead but Still Alive

Moon on the branches.

He Xi, full of excitement, fell asleep on the upper bunk in the dormitory. Tomorrow she would be able to officially start working in a multinational company. As a child from the countryside, this was lucky.

Sixteenth salary, statutory holidays, various welfare benefits: paid vacation and even overseas travel, etc., are all envied by others, but they all belong to He Xi.

When he opened his eyes again, He Xi found that he had changed his place. This was...

Her nose was filled with the smell of disinfectant. There were other people around her, they were wearing hospital gowns like her, and there were little nurses wandering around. Didn’t she just take a nap?

"Ding."

"Host, please complete the system authentication first."

He Xi sat up and looked at the people around him. They didn't react. Who was the voice talking to? The owner of the voice was very close to him.

"Master, my master He Xi. It's you."

He Xi sat on the bed blankly, staring at the people around him dully. Their attire was totally out of keeping with the style of the 21st century. Could it be Costume Piay?

There was a voice that kept ringing in her mind, which made He Xi so annoyed that she completed the certification without thinking too much.

In the end, He Xi's mentality collapsed. He was so happy about getting the offer he had always dreamed of that he died suddenly on the upper bunk in the dormitory.

He Xi sat on the hospital bed crying. All her previous efforts had come to nothing. What was the meaning of her life?

He Xi got out of bed and walked to the window, ready to commit suicide by jumping off the building. He leaned on the window and looked down. It was only the second floor, so he would not die from the fall.

At this moment, a woman pushed the door open and said to He Xi who was standing by the window: "Xiao Xi, come and have dinner."

Seeing that He Xi did not respond, the woman sighed silently, walked to her side, took her hand and returned to the bedside, and said earnestly: "Xiao Xi, let's find someone else to like. That young educated youth is not a good person."

He Xi stared at the woman in front of him in a daze. Auntie, who is that? Do you know her? Someone you like?

He Xi asked three questions in her mind, and suddenly the system's voice came into her mind: "Host, your current identity is her daughter. The owner of this body is also called He Xi, with one character different from yours. I will transfer the original owner's memory to you now."

One day in July 1976, the 7-year-old original owner graduated from high school and returned home. She found that the villagers were watching the fun on a hillside. She joined them, and when an important plot was about to happen, she was pushed down the hillside and died.

He Xi nodded as he listened to the story, great, two people with miserable lives.

The woman looked at her daughter nodding, and was very pleased, thinking that her persuasion had worked.

After eating a few bites, He Xi looked down to see what she was eating. It was multi-grain wontons, which she was the only one eating. The original owner's mother ate pickles and steamed corn bread, the kind that irritated the throat.

He Xi took a bowl and divided the wontons into two, half for each of them. He's mother's eyes became moist as she looked at her daughter. There was nothing wrong with her daughter. It was just that the educated youth was blind.

While eating, He Xi carefully sorted out the original owner's memories.

My family of origin is not complicated. I have a brother and a sister, and the five of us love each other. My eldest brother, He Zhixing, is now 22 years old. He joined the army and is now the deputy captain of a certain unit. My second sister, He Fei, is 20 years old and works at home with my parents to earn work points.

In an era when people were hungry and cold, the three children of the He family all successfully graduated from high school, which was a strange story in the village. They all laughed at the He family's parents for being stupid. Why send their daughters to school? One girl graduated from high school, and they had two daughters in one go.

He Xi looked at He's mother and found it difficult to call out, and her pronunciation was a little awkward: "Mom...let's go home after being discharged from the hospital."

Mother He, who was cleaning up the dishes, stopped what she was doing and turned around: "Stay two more days, you're not well yet."

He Xi got out of bed and packed her things while saying to her mother, "I'm not staying here anymore. I'm already well. I have important things to do when I return to the village."

In the end, He's mother couldn't persuade He Xi, so she completed the discharge procedures and left.

As soon as she entered the village, people came up to her and looked at her. They thought that He Xi was trapped in love and rolled down the hillside, but He Xi knew that was not the truth.

The village chief's wife is in charge of all the women in the village and is in charge of all matters concerning women.

He Xi comforted He's mother and said that she could do it herself.

"He Xi, I heard that you didn't want to live anymore because of that educated youth, and you were hospitalized to commit suicide?"

When He Xi heard this, she immediately realized that someone was deliberately targeting her, and she immediately denied it: "That's not true, who spread the rumor?"

The village chief's wife choked and looked at the others: "Is that what everyone is saying?"

He Xi held her small bag tightly in her hand and said indignantly, "It's definitely a rumor, auntie. They are deliberately smearing the families of soldiers. My grandfather and eldest brother are both soldiers. They really don't care about the honor of military families."

When the others heard her say this, they moved closer: "So it's true that you're in the hospital? It can't be false that your mother lent you money for medical treatment, right?"

The fact that he borrowed money to be hospitalized could not be concealed. He Xi remained calm and said, "It is true that I was hospitalized. I was watching the excitement on the hillside at that time, and someone pushed me down from behind. I will ask the village head and the village party secretary to seek justice for this rumor."

The women who were busy with gossip were all embarrassed. No matter whether the story was true or false, they were destined to take the blame for spreading the rumors.

He Xi saw that the foreshadowing was almost done and began to narrate the truth of the matter. Her face was full of grievance: "When I entered the village, I heard people say that there was something going on on the hillside to the south. We, the senior students, followed the crowd and went there. As soon as I got to the hillside, someone pushed me."

The village chief's wife asked hurriedly, "Can you see clearly who pushed you?"

He Xi began to shed tears, and she nodded: "I know, it was Lin Sanni who saw that I scored higher than her in the final exam, so she pushed me, and I saw her face."

He's mother grabbed He Xi's hand and repeatedly asked her if she had really seen clearly that it was Lin Sanni. He Xi was sure and certain that it was her.

He Xi sobbed softly: "It was her. She set a flag in front of her mother, saying that she could rank so high in the class. But this time she was only one point behind me. I was higher than her, and she said I did it on purpose. She had already found fault with me in school. I didn't expect that she would want me to die..."

"What is Fu Lai Ge?"

"It's a kind of military order." He Xi cried in her mother's arms.

It's outrageous that Lin Sanni dared to kill someone. This is a big event in the village. The village will be rated as an advanced village soon. Such a bad apple will spoil the whole barrel.

The villagers who came to watch the fun turned around and headed straight for Lin Sanni's house.

Seeing that the person had left, He Xi stopped crying. She stretched out a finger to wipe the tears from her cheeks and sniffed: "Done, let's go home, Mom."

He's mother was shocked by He Xi's subsequent performance: "Xiao Xi, is everything you said true?"

He Xi repeatedly assured her mother that what she said was true, and this was the real reason why she was anxious to return to the village. He's mother breathed a sigh of relief, pulled He Xi straight home, and told her not to go and watch the fun, because Lin Sanni was bound to be skinned alive, and the village would soon be evaluated as advanced.

The He family courtyard is not small, with two large rooms and four small rooms. Parents and eldest brother live in the north, and the two sisters live in the south. The four rooms are designed in opposite directions. Not only does everyone have an independent room, but there are also vegetable gardens in the front and back yards and an independent well.

He Xi sighed silently, "In the 1970s, you called this poverty. How did poverty manifest itself? Four mud-filled rooms are considered poverty?"

When the He family's father and daughter got off work in the evening, they were extremely excited to see He Xi coming back. What made them even happier was that the story of the love suicide was fake.

At the dinner table, He Fei picked up chopsticks of eggs for He Xi. He Xi looked at her overcrowded bowl and was too embarrassed to eat. She passed the eggs to He Fei: "Sister, you eat. The food my mom gave me in the hospital wasn't bad either."

The only meat dish was scrambled eggs with green onions. Two eggs were beaten and the entire egg was in He Xi's bowl. How could the family's labor force go without food?

He Fei didn't eat it and passed the egg to his father: "Dad, you eat it. You are the main labor force in our family."

Father He took a look at the eggs in the bowl and without stopping, he directly gave them to Mother He: "Eat it. It's hard for you to accompany the child in the hospital."

He Xi didn't know how the egg went around in a circle, but it finally ended up back in his bowl.

It feels so good to be surrounded by love.

Lin Sanni over there was also surrounded by love. Lin's mother clenched her shoe soles and chased her to beat her, scolding her loudly while beating her: "I told you to lie, I told you to lie..."

The villagers who were watching the excitement held their bowls in their hands and reminded him, "There is also the crime of intentional injury. The third daughter of the He family is lucky. If someone dies, your whole family will not be well."

When Lin's mother heard this, she remembered that her eldest son was about to get married, and that everything was almost ruined because of her, so she exerted more strength in her hands.

Even women farmers have strength that cannot be matched by ordinary city dwellers.

Lin Sanni hated He Xi so much that she couldn't dodge and was hit by several shoes.

He Xi, who was unaware of the situation, was preparing to wash up and go to bed. She was so happy that even her second sister washed the dishes for dinner. Her original family was so happy that in order to survive, she decided to live as He Xi and lead them to a well-off life.
