Chapter 224 Task 2: Parents' Regret 1

Xiaohua felt sleepy and wanted to sleep so she called out, "Master," and forced herself to search for "What's wrong with the system being sleepy?", and the answer "Promotion" popped up.

"Master, I'm going to advance. I chose the modern world for you, which has low points. When your mission is completed, I should also complete my advancement."

Wen Wan felt a shaking sensation, as if someone was hitting her chest. Before she could see what was happening, her vision went dark and she passed out.

She stood in a gray space, facing a desolate girl: "I really don't understand, we are all girls, some are the treasures of their parents, and when their parents separate, everyone fights for them.

Growing up, my grandmother was my only companion. Neither my father nor my mother wanted her. When my grandmother was seriously ill, I asked my mother for money for her medical treatment, but she scolded me for being nosy. By the time I rushed back home, she was gone.

There's nothing in this world worth lingering on. I'm going to go find my grandma. I promised grandma I'd live well, but I can't hold on any longer. You live well for me, live confidently, live brightly, live in a way that makes my parents regret not having me.

This time the wisher seemed to have said everything, but in fact he said nothing.

Mission: Make the parents regret not wanting the original owner.

Wen Wan met the original owner in her dream. Her outline was always vague, but she felt very familiar with her, as familiar as another self.

The original owner was also named Wen Wan, a rare occurrence. Her memories were brief. When she was three, her parents, who had been in love, divorced. Her mother scolded her father for being useless and unable to make money, while her father accused her of being shameless and cheating. In the end, neither wanted her anymore, and they divorced decisively.

The following month, my mother remarried. Her husband ran a small decoration materials store, but his business continued to flourish, and she gave birth to a younger brother. After remarrying, she gave my grandmother 300 yuan a month, which she later raised to 500 yuan after she started junior high school, saying it was for her and my grandmother's living expenses.

My father remarried a woman who also worked as a laborer. She had a son with her, and they had a daughter. It was said that the son was also taken back by her ex-husband, and the family of three lived happily. The original owner never took a penny from the money, and after his parents divorced, he never saw his father again.

The original owner had just graduated from high school in June. To earn tuition for college, she had spent the entire summer working in a town restaurant. This was all thanks to the locals, who took pity on her and took care of her. However, the salary in town was low, with room and board included, only 1800 yuan a month. After the past two months, the landlady calculated two months' wages and gave the original owner 3600 yuan.

The tuition for the university was 5600 yuan. The original owner called his father and mother, told them that he had been admitted to a key university, and wanted to ask them to help with the tuition. When his father heard that he needed money, he said directly, "I have a mortgage to pay, and your sister still needs to go to school. Where will the money come from?"

She called her mother again, and her mother said, "Wen Wan, you'll be eighteen on Dragon Boat Festival. You're an adult. Didn't I tell you before that support is only given until you're eighteen? I won't cover it after you turn eighteen. You should work and earn money on your own!"

The original owner was worried about her tuition fees. On her way back to her hometown by bicycle, she saw several elementary school students bathing in the river. Just as she was about to call out, she heard someone yell, "Help! Help—"

The original owner could swim when she was a child. Without saying a word, she threw her bicycle aside, jumped into the river, grabbed the child who was struggling in the water, and dragged him to the river bank. The child got out, but she was entangled by the water plants on the bank. At this time, her calf was cramped by the cold water, and she couldn't use any strength at all.

Afterwards, the original owner sank into the water. In a daze, she heard the children shouting for help, and then the original owner remembered nothing.

When Wen Wan woke up, she was lying in a clean white room. The air was filled with the smell of hospital disinfectant. There was an IV tube on the back of her left hand, and a medicine bottle hanging on the side, dripping drop by drop. She closed her eyes again.

They come, the security.

First, I consulted a fortune teller and asked for divination: This world has no martial arts, so forget about using internal energy, it's just for strengthening your muscles and body. This world has no spiritual power, it's the Dharma Ending Age, forget about cultivating immortality. This world has no supernatural powers, that's just the kind of storytelling that exists in novels. I can live a peaceful and ordinary life now, I don't even need the "Creation and Heaven Repairing Secret", just live like this.

Xiaohua said his points were neither high nor low, but he didn't know exactly how many he had. Now that Xiaohua was entering seclusion, he didn't know how long it would take. He sensed it, but even the system space on the points card wouldn't activate. His only respite was that the Mortal Realm Modern Warehouse inside his body was functional.

She moved slightly, and the door of the ward opened. A woman wearing glasses came in from outside, "Teacher Zhang..."

The woman was the original owner's high school English teacher for three years. She was a very nice person and treated her students very kindly.

Teacher Zhang was holding a thermos bucket. "Wen Wan, Teacher Zhang, thank you for saving Taotao yesterday evening. He's my brother's son. It's summer vacation now, and my sister-in-law has to prepare for her professional qualification exam, and my brother has to go on a business trip, so he sent him to me. If anything had happened to Taotao, I wouldn't be able to see him and his wife. Thank you for saving Taotao. This is the fish soup rice noodles I made myself, you should try it first."

Teacher Zhang reached out and helped Wen Wan up. "Can you eat by yourself?"

When she heard that Taotao had drowned, she was so scared that her whole body went limp. When she rushed there, she found that Taotao was fine and there was a motionless female student lying next to him. She and two teachers from the school squeezed out the water in Wenwan's chest, performed artificial respiration, and sent her to the town health center.

Teacher Zhang knew that Wen Wan had been working in a restaurant in town all summer. September 1st was approaching and her admission letter was about to arrive. It looked like she was getting ready to go to school.

Wen Wan stayed in the hospital for two days. On the day she was discharged, Teacher Zhang gave her a red envelope.

"Teacher Zhang..."

"Wen Wan, take this. This is the five thousand yuan the teacher gave you. Taotao's life is worth far more than that. This is at least a small token of my gratitude. Thank you for saving Taotao."

After Wen Wan was discharged from the hospital, she went to the bank in town and deposited 3600 yuan into the newly opened account. The 5600 yuan tuition fee was enough, and it was impossible to save money, so she had to get the money as soon as possible.

She rode her bicycle back to the village. Her second-hand phone, bought for 200 yuan, was slow to connect to the internet, so the only two functions she could use were texting and making calls. She borrowed a phone from the woman at the village entrance's grocery store and bought train and bus tickets online. Wen Wan went home that same day to unpack the original owner's luggage. She looked around, but none of the original owner's clothes appealed to her. She picked out three summer outfits from a modern warehouse, packed them in her suitcase, and headed out. Before leaving, she said goodbye to her neighbors and told them she was going to register for university early.
