Countdown to Awakening

Although Mengdi was young, she knew everything. She knew that her father was not kind to her mother and that her mother was always crying.

She also knew that Uncle Jiang Wen was actually very good to her mother. Even her own father always said that Uncle Jiang Wen was very good to her mother.

In that case, it would be better for Mom and Uncle Jiang Wen to go.

"Mom, there's no room on the bed anymore. I'll sleep on the floor." Mengdi said and went downstairs.

The little girl stood barefoot on the cold floor, her eyes showing her heartache for Yingdi, which also made Yingdi at a loss.

"No, even though it's summer now, the ground will still be cold. You can't sleep on the floor. Come up quickly!" Yingdi quickly reached out and pulled her over.

Then she added, "How about this, Mommy sleeps on the floor, and you come up and sleep on the bed with your sister? Mommy is an adult, so she's not afraid of getting sick, but you're a child, and you could easily get frozen."

Although the villagers are all in good physical condition, Mengdi is still a child. It is better to be safe than sorry. If she really gets frozen to death, she will feel sad.

But Mengdi said, "No, Mom, you are pregnant with your brother and you can't get cold. If you get cold sleeping on the floor, Dad will scold us."

"Silly child, there's room on the bed. Don't sleep on the floor. Come up here." Yingdi urged her again. But Mengdi remained unmoved. "If you don't come up here, Mom will be mad. Hurry up!"

Mengdi still shook her head and insisted on standing on the ground. The soft voice sounded again: "Mom, I don't want to be scolded by Dad, just sleep on the bed... If you sleep on the floor, my sister and I will be scolded by Dad."

Yingdi frowned. She was right. If Chen Jiade knew that his son was frozen, he would definitely scold all three of them together.

"Then..." She was in a dilemma.

If she went back to Chen Jiade, who knows if he would be thinking about those things again. Besides, Chen Jiade only talked about her and Jiang Wen every day.

I really don't want to listen to Chen Jiade's nonsense anymore.

Yingdi looked at Zhaodi who was sleeping soundly on the bed, then nodded and agreed to let Mengdi sleep on the floor.

"Don't get frozen. Although it's summer now, no one knows if you will get frozen...ah." Yingdi said as he took a mat and a quilt and spread them on the ground for her.

"Well, Mom, you're the best."

After Mengdi lay down, Yingdi also lay down.

She kept thinking back to the time when she was with Jiang Wen. If she had been more persistent, would her life have been less miserable when she left Jiang Wen?

If she and Jiang Wen had left, would he have changed his mind? After all, she was pregnant with Mengdi at the time. If she had eloped with Jiang Wen, what would have happened to the child? Would Jiang Wen really have treated her as his own child?

Probably not...but it should be possible.

She knew that no one treated her well except Jiang Wen. Even her parents were not as good as Jiang Wen.

Yingdi sighed and stopped thinking about it. What happened in the past was in the past. If he kept dwelling on it, it would only make him more distressed.

She now has two lovely and sensible daughters. That's enough. Even though times are tough, it still keeps her going.

She also wanted to leave Jiang Wen, but if she left, wouldn't Chen Jiade become even more rampant? What if he sold Mengdi and gave Zhaodi away? You know, Chen Jiade is capable of anything.

If she left, it would be like Chen Jiade transferring his hatred for her to his two daughters, not to mention that Zhaodi looked so much like her. Wouldn't that just make her a sitting duck for Chen Jiade?

Besides, Tao Lai Di is not good to the two girls. If she leaves, won’t the two children be doomed?

So she can't leave.

Yingdi touched her belly and could feel the fetal movement. When she went to the clinic, the doctor said the baby was very active and was probably a boy.

She remembered that her mother-in-law had also said that she had asked an expert to take a look, and the expert also said that the baby was a boy.

Thinking of this, she felt relieved. As long as it was a boy, it would be fine. She wouldn't have to be bullied by her mother-in-law and Chen Jiade anymore. In the past, her mother-in-law always said that she was a hen that didn't lay eggs and couldn't give birth to a son.

She also felt that it was her own problem.

After all, everyone thought it was her fault, so she felt the same way.

Yingdi was deeply troubled. What if the doctor was wrong? What if the baby was a girl? What would she do? Tao Lai Di would surely scold her for not carrying on the Chen family line...

After sighing, she looked at her eldest daughter Mengdi who was sleeping on the floor. If her eldest daughter hadn't been so sensible, she wouldn't know what to do...

Although Chen Jiade only wanted to send the second child away, she was worried that if Chen Jiade found the eldest child annoying again, he might send him away as well. Moreover, if a son was born, Chen Jiade would definitely protect him. That would mean there would be one more person to feed at home.

She would definitely send her two daughters away. She had to protect her two daughters no matter what. She couldn't let them be sent away.

It would be nice if she could marry into a good family when she grows up. At least she can't be sent away by Chen Jiade. Who knows where she'll be sent?

After thinking about all this, Yingdi fell asleep with mixed feelings.

At dawn, a woman was wandering by a river when she was suddenly struck by thirst.

This person was Qi Yuanyuan.

"I'm so thirsty..." she said. She looked around but saw no one else. She only saw the river nearby. She hurried over.

"Clean water!" Qi Yuanyuan said excitedly. She had never imagined there would be clean water...

She didn't have time to think too much, so she reached out and scooped up a handful of water and drank it in big gulps.

After quenching her thirst, Qi Yuanyuan looked at her reflection in the water again.

She was suddenly startled. "I... I'm back? Why am I like this?"

She saw herself in the water wearing a hospital gown. Her face was no longer Qi Yuanyuan's, but her own face...

"I'm back?" She was a little excited and looked around again.

Isn't this the dirty world? It's her original world...

How did she come back?

Qi Yuanyuan couldn't believe what she saw, and began to slap the river water with her hands.

The waves surged, and the reflection in the water swayed but remained unchanged.

"No... am I really back?"

Hadn't she already traveled through time? Why was she still wearing the same hospital gown? And the surroundings were unfamiliar; she didn't recognize this place at all...

This wasn't Tianfu Village, nor was it a city hospital... nor was it a school. It was a place I had no impression of at all...

There were only a few trees and dead grass growing around. But in the distance there was a small path with bamboo trees on both sides...

Where the hell is this?! Did she travel through time again? But why did she die this time? How could she have traveled through time again?

She was in a state of confusion, and when she reached out to scratch her head, she actually scratched off a clump of messy hair...

Is she losing her hair again?! Is this new world still polluted?

"..."

Qi Yuanyuan couldn't figure out why she had traveled through time. Why did her Tianfu Village self die?
