The Bad Girl's Quick Transmigration System: Traveling Back and Forth

"They are not only guardian angels, they treat us villagers even better than their own family." Aunt Liu's voice became gentle again. "Back then, I saw that they were so young, fighting in the war, working, and taking care of us. It was really hard. Although my family was not rich, we still planted a few acres of vegetables and raised a few chickens. I often made some pickles and steamed some white flour buns - those white flour buns were the relief food distributed by Lin Wei and others. I couldn't bear to eat them and saved them for them - carrying a basket to the porridge stall or where they worked, giving the girls some food, and also helping them with the fire and washing dishes."

"Every time Lin Wei sees me, she's so happy. She holds my hand and asks about everything, just like my own daughter coming home. She always says, 'Auntie, you're so kind. We have food, please keep it for yourself.' I say, 'My daughters, you've done so much for us. What little I have means nothing. You're like my own daughters. It breaks my heart to see you suffer.'"

"Sometimes in the evenings when she's not busy, Lin Wei would bring a few female soldiers to my house to sit and chat with me. They told me about their hometowns, why they joined the army, and their ideals and aspirations. Lin Wei said her greatest wish was for women to be the masters of their own destiny. Now that the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty is in power, women have a chance to shine, and ordinary people can live a good life with enough food, clothing, and peace. Listening to them talk about this, I was truly impressed and moved."

Aunt Zhang also smiled and said, "My husband used to have a bad temper and loved to drink. When he was drunk, he would hit people. When Lin Wei found out, she took the initiative to talk to him. She told him that now that the Queen was in power, he couldn't discriminate against his wife and abuse her. She said that now that the new law has been enacted, men and women are equal, and we should respect women and live a good life. My husband was convinced by her words. Later, he really quit drinking, and he also took the initiative to help me with the farm work. He treated me well. I really don't know how to thank Lin Wei enough."

"And there's the village orphan, Little Stone," Grandpa Wang said slowly with a sigh. "That child has such a miserable life! His parents were killed by those damned bandits, leaving him all alone in this world. Poor little Stone, he can only wander around the village all day, with no one to care for him or look after him."

Uncle Wang paused, then continued, "But fortunately, Lin Wei knew about Xiao Shitou's situation. She's such a kind-hearted girl! Without a second thought, she took Xiao Shitou with her and let him live and eat with the female soldiers. Not only that, Lin Wei even personally taught Xiao Shitou how to read and write, treating him like her own brother."

At this point, a smile appeared on Grandpa Wang's face. "Little Shitou is a very sensible child. He knows that Lin Wei treats him well, so he likes her very much. He calls her 'Sister Lin Wei, Sister Lin Wei' all day long and follows her around like a little tail."

However, good times are always short-lived. When Lin Wei and the others were about to leave the village, Little Stone burst into tears. He held onto the corner of Lin Wei's clothes tightly, refusing to let go, and kept muttering, "Sister Lin Wei, please don't leave. Can you stay and be my sister?"

Seeing Little Stone's pitiful appearance, Lin Wei's eyes also turned red. She squatted down, gently hugged Little Stone, and said softly: "Little Stone, be good. I will go to help more people who are suffering like you. When I fulfill my dream, I will definitely come back to see you."
