In a year of natural disasters, the young woman had billions of resources to build a paradise.

"Mianmian, let your sister handle the work at the restaurant. She's all alone; she needs to be capable."

"Teach her a few more dishes, and the shopkeeper will think more highly of her."

"By the way, how much silver do you have left? Give it all to her."

"After all, you'll have us in the future, so you won't need us anymore."

"You little brat, say something!"

Jiang Mianmian was pushed and only then did she come back to her senses from the shock.

The familiar dilapidated woodshed—had she truly been reborn?

We've gone back to three days before the natural disaster struck!

Looking at the woman in front of her, she couldn't help but laugh. "What do you want me to say? That I don't want to?"

The one who constantly made her 'selflessly dedicate' was her mother, Li!

Perhaps not expecting to be rejected, Li was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "For so many years, she has been the one to take care of your parents on your behalf. How can you be so ungrateful?"

Why don't you explain why she's fulfilling her filial duties for me?

Jiang Mianmian looked at her with a half-smile.

Li didn't notice anything amiss and said reproachfully, "Isn't it because you were playing around and running off back then? Otherwise, how could you have gotten lost?"

That's what Li told her in her past life!

She was three years old when she went missing, and her memory was not clear. She believed what Li said. When she learned that they had taken in a little beggar of the same age and raised him because they missed her so much, she was filled with guilt and gratitude.

When he actually returned to the Jiang family, he found that they were not only distant but also disgusted with him!

Jiang Ranran, the younger sister who was used as a 'stand-in', was pampered!

She thought it was because they had been separated for too long that her relationship couldn't compare to the bond she formed with Jiang Ranran, who spent every day with them. To integrate, she not only subsidized her family out of her own pocket, buying clothes, food, furniture, and even moving house, but she also risked going up the mountain to forage for wild vegetables and hunt, hoping to sell them at restaurants and earn more money. She thought this would make them realize how capable and useful she was, and thus gain their favor!

No matter how hard she tried, they looked down on her and always favored Jiang Ranran. Even when the restaurant owner wanted her to be a cook, he told her to give the opportunity to Jiang Ranran!

The pent-up resentment from repeated concessions finally erupted. For the first time, she didn't agree directly, but instead went back to her woodshed in tears.

But then Li came after her, trying to persuade her!

Seeing that she remained silent, Madam Li said earnestly, "Ranran has already decided to leave. What more do you want? She's giving you this family, and she's giving you the marriage with the Qi family. Why can't you be a little more generous and leave her a way out..."

"Such a good family and such a good marriage should be left for her to enjoy."

Interrupting her, Jiang Mianmian pushed her out and slammed the door shut.

"Huh? What do you mean by that?"

The door was pushed twice by Li.

Jiang Mianmian pressed down hard, her voice completely flat, "Literally, she doesn't need to leave, I will."

"Nonsense! You are a child of the Jiang family. Where else would you be if not here? Do you perhaps want to go back to that filthy place?"

Li's voice gradually became shrill. She knocked on the door a few more times before stamping her foot and leaving.

In her past life, Jiang Mianmian might have been heartbroken and shed tears because of her words.

After going missing at the age of three, she was found by Jiu Niang of Lingxiao Tower. Longing for family, she always treated Jiu Niang as her own mother. However, on her coming-of-age ceremony, Jiu Niang said she had only adopted her because of her good looks and that she should now go out and entertain guests. Naturally, she refused, and after a big argument, she was kicked out. With nowhere to go, Li Shi found her and took her back to the Jiang family.

She was both happy and angry. She was annoyed that Jiu Niang had gone mad and insisted on driving her away, but she was also happy that she finally had a real family.

Little did she expect that the Jiang family didn't care about her at all, only telling her to be tolerant, indulgent, and doting on her younger sister! They even constantly brought up her upbringing in a brothel to provoke her!

Later, when natural disasters struck, she was forced to exchange her body for food and shelter! They even said Ranran was naive and didn't know as much as her, so naturally she couldn't win a man's heart!

She refused, so she was drugged and sent away.

If it weren't for Jiu Niang saving her, she would have died that night! It was then that she learned from Jiu Niang that she hadn't gotten lost while playing, but had been sold to a brothel by Li Shi herself! Everyone had kept it from her just to avoid upsetting her.

That day, it was because Li came looking for someone and promised to take her back and make amends. So, she deliberately put on an act to drive her away, wanting to sever ties with her and give her a clean reputation. But who would have thought that the Jiang family would be so heartless, treating a little beggar like a treasure and their own daughter like trash!

The moment she learned the truth, she nearly collapsed, her heart filled with despair.

So she followed Jiu Niang back to the secret place where they had escaped to Lingxiao Tower, but she didn't expect Jiang Ranran to follow them all the way and even deliberately attracted refugees!

Having eaten and drunk their fill, how could they let Jiu Niang and the others go? Only she escaped under the protection of the others.

When they found the Jiang family, they were drinking meat porridge, meat porridge that had been obtained in exchange for the lives of eleven people from Lingxiao Tower!

She sprinkled kerosene around the house and set it on fire. Including herself, all seven members of the Jiang family died neatly together! As her consciousness faded, she felt a pang of regret. Jiu Niang and the others had suffered so much humiliation and torture before their deaths; the Jiang family's deaths were far too easy!

Just then, the system bound her.

She was told that as long as she completed the missions, she could stockpile supplies and be reborn! Later, she finally completed ninety-nine missions and was indeed reborn! The supplies she had stockpiled were indeed still in her consciousness!

It's just not usable for now. The system mentioned before leaving that this world is plagued by natural disasters, and she returned to save people. Accumulating merit will allow her to use it. If she accumulates enough merit, perhaps one day she'll even be able to reunify the world and meet the system again!

Jiang Mianmian packed her bags, pushed open the door of the woodshed, and prepared to leave.

The natural disaster is just three days away. The most important thing now is to unlock supplies and find a safe place for Jiu Niang and the others! Otherwise, when the torrential rains start, not only will we run out of food quickly, but the entire county will be flooded!

As for the Jiang family, let them live a few more days! She wants to see if these people will be willing to push Jiang Ranran out to exchange for food during a natural disaster!

The main door was open, and when they saw her actually come out with a bundle, the men all looked impatient.

Li looked at her in disbelief, "You really want to go back to Lingxiao Tower? Don't forget, you'll be entertaining guests when you get back!"

"none of your business!"

Jiang Mianmian glanced at her disdainfully.

"How dare you speak to your mother like that, you little brat?"

Jiang Bocai frowned, "Isn't your mother doing this for your own good? What kind of attitude is this! You have no manners!"

"Brother, how can you learn any manners or upbringing in a place like that? All you learn all day is how to seduce men."

Jiang Zhongtian's eyes were greasy, and a meaningful smile played at the corners of his mouth.

Li said with a stern face, "Ranran has already been ruined by you, leaving her without a home, yet you won't even give her a job! Now you're deliberately trying to ruin her reputation! Are you trying to drive her to the brink of despair?"

Her father, Jiang Chuan, sat in the head seat, saying nothing, but his gaze was as cold as ice.

Jiang Mianmian gave everyone a deep look. "Her? I made her homeless? Are you all blind or stupid? In this new house, she lives in the main room, and I sleep in the woodshed! Even the money for building this house was..."
