Chapter 146 The Cannon Fodder Children and Their Early-Dead Father (Qi Yuan)

The original owner had a son and a daughter. The eldest daughter was fifteen years old and named Qi Pan. The younger son was eight years old and named Qi Wang.

When Qi Wang was three years old, his wife drowned while trying to save Liu Ruyan, who had fallen into the river. Not only did the Liu family offer no compensation, they also claimed that the original owner's wife had pushed Liu Ruyan into the water.

If it weren't for the many women washing clothes by the river who testified on behalf of the original owner's wife that Liu Ruyan had indeed accidentally fallen into the river and been swept away by the swift current, she might have really been framed by the Liu family.

From then on, the Liu family would avoid the Qi family whenever they saw them, and they would speak ill of the Qi family behind their backs, but no one listened to the Liu family.

When Qi Wang was eight years old, the original owner went hunting in the mountains. He was killed by a wild boar that charged at him as soon as he reached the foot of the mountain. When the villagers found him, the original owner had already passed away.

Thus, fifteen-year-old Qi Pan and eight-year-old Qi Wang became orphans.

With a house and land in the village, the villagers' care, and the original owner's considerable savings, the siblings should have lived a prosperous life.

But who can blame them when the siblings are cannon fodder who provide the golden touch, money, and even their lives?

After being reborn, Liu Ruyan harbored resentment towards Qi Pan for her words: "Marry well and you'll be happy for life." She then tried to steal Qi Pan's classmate's husband, Shen Jian'an. Qi Pan was pushed into the river by Liu Ruyan, but was rescued by Qin Shou, a local hoodlum—Liu Ruyan's husband from her previous life.

In the summer, when clothes were thin, Qi Pan's figure was clearly visible as she came up from the river. Qin Shou held her in his arms. In the 1970s, reputation was of utmost importance, and Qi Pan eventually had to drop out of school to marry Qin Shou.

It's more accurate to say she married Qin Shou rather than said she brought Qin Shou into the family.

Qin Shou moved into the Qi family home empty-handed and lived like a lord ever since.

Liu Ruyan's attempts to seduce Shen Jian'an failed several times. Seeing Qin Shou living a peaceful life, dressed smartly every day, and even more handsome than in her previous life, Liu Ruyan, driven by possessiveness, fell for Qin Shou again.

Qin Shou's true love was Liu Ruyan. If Liu Ruyan hadn't asked him to go into the river to save someone, he would never have gone in.

So, the two fell in love and soon rolled around in the cornfield.

These two were quite bold, insisting on rolling around on the Qi family's land. It just so happened that Qi Wang, who had just come home from school and wanted to do more work so that his sister could have an easier time, caught them in the act.

Eleven-year-old Qi Wang is good at doing farm work, but escaping the clutches of two adults is still quite difficult.

His constantly fidgeting hands and feet gradually lost their strength. The two carried Qi Wang into the mountains overnight, creating the illusion that Qi Wang, unaware of the dangers of the world, had ventured into the mountains and been attacked by wild animals.

After dealing with everything, Qin Shou and Liu Ruyan went back to their respective homes. Qin Shou was worried that there might be some evidence left in the field, so when he went back, he found the jade pendant that Qi Wang had always worn.

Qin Shou picked up the jade pendant, intending to throw it far away, but the next moment, the jade pendant vanished into thin air.

Qin Shou used the Qi family's ancestral jade pendant to perform a blood test to identify his kinship. Afterward, Qin Shou even used the space to start a business of buying and selling, making a fortune before the reform and opening up.

Qin Shou and Liu Ruyan had a common weakness. Seeing that Qin Shou was becoming more and more powerful and making more money, Liu Ruyan gradually became dissatisfied with their secret relationship. So, she decided to go all out and, under Liu Ruyan's threat, Qin Shou "reluctantly" conspired with her to murder Qi Pan.

After that, the two villains joined forces.

After receiving the memories, Qi Yuan felt that the entire Qi family was being taken advantage of, and that they were all scapegoats for Qin Shou and Liu Ruyan.

Looking at Qi Wang, who had just lost his mother and was still innocent and wide-eyed, and Qi Pan, who had fainted from crying, Qi Yuan felt that the road ahead was long and arduous, and perhaps...

"Dog Egg, go to sleep." Stared at by innocent big eyes, Qi Yuan really couldn't do such a thing. He picked up the little bean and put him on the bed, patting Qi Wang's bottom with his big hand, making a loud slapping sound.

"Father? Did I make a mistake again?" Qi Wang, who was lying on the bed, turned his head to look at Qi Yuan and asked.

Qi Yuan's hand paused. "Why do you ask that?"

"Otherwise, why did you spank me, Dad?"

Qi Yuan: I was just filming, how did it turn into a fight? Indeed, raising children is too difficult.

After hearing Qi Yuan explain that he was trying to put him to sleep, Qi Wang said, "Dad, I can sleep by myself. I don't need to be spanked to fall asleep."

Qi Wang adjusted his position and lay down on the bed. After a while, he could hear even breathing.

Qi Yuan: Was I just being redundant?

After touching each child's head and feeding them medicine, Qi Yuan fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, just as dawn broke, Qi Yuan felt two intense gazes fixed on him, impossible to ignore. Opening his eyes, he saw Qi Pan and Qi Wang. The innocence and naivety in their eyes had vanished, replaced by a deep longing for Qi Yuan.

Having confirmed that both siblings had been reborn and received memories from both lives, Qi Yuan began living the life of an emperor emeritus.

"Alas! From now on, only this father and his two daughters will be left. How pitiful their lives will be!"

"That's right, she saved a heartless wretch, what a waste of Qi Pan's mother being such a good person..."

Yesterday, the Liu family made a huge scene. Everyone saw what the Liu family did, and no one spoke up for them. They all pitied Qi Yuan and his two daughters.

The body lay in state for three days, and the siblings knelt for three days as well. The original owner's wife was buried, and the Qi family finally calmed down. The siblings also had time to recall their past life.

"Sister, how could I knowingly go into the mountains? Do you think I don't know how Dad died? I'm not stupid!"

I went to the fields after school that day, but I never expected to run into Qin Shou and Liu Ruyan digging through the cornfield...

"I only discovered after I died that our family's heirloom jade pendant had a spatial dimension..." Qi Wang had been a ghost for too long in his previous life, and once he started talking, he couldn't stop.

Qi Wang stuffed the jade pendant into Qi Pan's hand. "Sister, that Qin Shou is the one who binds things to his master with blood. Then the thing in his hand just disappears in a flash, and if he wants to take it out, it just reappears in a flash. Sister, if you're too scared to bite it, I'll bite it for you."

Qi Wang grabbed Qi Pan's finger and tried to put it in his mouth, but Qi Pan interrupted him with a sharp rap on the head.

"Sister~" Qi Wang felt wronged. Who was he doing all this for? Why did she hit him? Could it be that his sister was afraid of pain?

"This was passed on to you. Why are you biting yourself instead of me?" Looking at her little brother, Qi Pan felt a little helpless. This child was good in every way, except that he was a bit stupid and would give everything away.

"What do you mean 'yours' and 'mine'? Mine belongs to my sister, and what belongs to my sister is still my sister's. It's all Dad's fault. Why did he only give me one? No, I have to ask Dad if there are any other items. Maybe there are two spaces? We can each have one!"

Qi Wang ran out with his short legs, and Qi Pan couldn't stop him no matter what she tried.

They hurried to catch up, and just then they ran into Qi Wang, who was running towards them with a happy expression.

"Sister, you have one too, a jade bracelet. Mom was afraid you were too young, so she broke it and put it in the cabinet. Go and look for it, see if it's still there."

Qi Yuan watched the siblings run off like the wind, shook his head, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and headed towards the cowshed.

Let those two siblings do what they want; he has other things to do.

In the life Liu Ruyan was reborn, almost everyone living in the cowshed had died, which had a significant impact on the country's scientific research. Qi Yuan came to see if he could help, and also to tell Liu Ruyan to stay away so as not to harm these precious individuals.

In her past life, Liu Ruyan knew that these people would be reinstated to their original positions and have unlimited potential, so she chose to do favors for them in order to seek greater returns.

But if you're going to do a favor, why make it so public, as if you're afraid no one will know? It'll make the big shots forget all about Liu Ruyan's small act of kindness. At this point, these big shots are just fallen phoenixes, and compared to Liu Ruyan, whom they've known since childhood, they'll naturally side with her and hate the "stinking intellectuals." Because of Liu Ruyan's actions, their reputations have become even more tarnished.

Previously, the villagers would at most ignore them and not mistreat them. But because of Liu Ruyan's troubles, the villagers' way of looking at them changed. They looked at them as if they were kidnappers who trafficked women and children.

These people were all professors who used to be high and mighty, only needing to study academic problems every day. They had never been treated like this before. Some of them couldn't think straight, and because their future was already bleak, they lost their will to live and died of depression not long after.

Betrayal did not defeat them, nor did hardship. Instead, Liu Ruyan's actions became the last straw that broke the camel's back. One by one, the people in the cowshed died. In the end, only one person was taken out of the cowshed, but he also died not long after he was out.

In their first life, without Liu Ruyan's 'help', the people in the cowshed, though facing some difficulties, still managed to get through it.

Therefore, Qi Yuan really didn't know whether Liu Ruyan had gone to harm or save someone.

Today was the day Liu Ruyan was supposed to get the expired aminophylline; it would be delivered around dusk, when there were the most people. However, Liu Ruyan miscalculated. She wanted the villagers to testify that she had saved these intellectuals, but things didn't go as planned. To distance herself from the situation, Liu Ruyan ultimately claimed that she was forced to steal the medicine by the intellectuals.

After Liu Ruyan said that, one can imagine what kind of situation the intellectuals will face.

Qi Yuan sauntered along the road, cracking sunflower seeds. "(Crunch) The original flavor (chew, crunch) isn't as good as the sweet one (chew, crunch). I wonder (chew, crunch) if those two kids know how to make it."

Sun Aiguo was walking towards the cowshed, still a little worried about Zhou Liye, fearing that his old buddy might really die. Alas, they couldn't find medicine, so he could only tough it out; they couldn't get out anyway, and he didn't know if his old buddy could pull through.

Just as he was thinking, Qi Yuan took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket, and a small medicine box fell to the ground. Qi Yuan didn't notice and walked straight ahead.

"Hey, young man, you dropped something!" Sun Aiguo hurriedly ran forward a couple of steps, picked up the aspirin on the ground, and called out a few more times, but Qi Yuan seemed not to hear him and continued walking forward, leaving sunflower seed shells scattered all over the ground.

"Why can't this child hear properly?"

"Old Sun, what are you saying?" Zhou Liye heard Sun Aiguo's voice and thought something had happened, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and came out, just in time to hear Sun Aiguo's last words.

"That kid was just walking by our door, eating sunflower seeds as he went. We didn't notice. This medicine?" Sun Aiguo was stunned. Medicine? Who would carry medicine around for no reason? And it's such a small box, how could we not notice if it fell? Besides, villagers never pass by the cowshed unless they have to. Could it be...?

Sun Aiguo glanced at Zhou Liye, whose face was flushed red from the fever, and pulled him toward the cowshed.

"Hey? Why did you stop halfway through your sentence? What medicine? Did someone lose something? You should take it back quickly." Zhou Liye was delirious with fever, but he still remembered the principle of not picking up lost items.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you back to your room first."

“No need to see me off, I can walk by myself…” Zhou Liye shook off Sun Aiguo’s hand and started to walk forward, but he stumbled and almost fell. Fortunately, Sun Aiguo reacted quickly.

Back in his room, Zhou Liye lay on the bed, only to feel a bitter taste in his mouth, and then he knew nothing more.

With this medicine, I think I should be able to get through this, right?

She returned home leisurely. That evening, when Liu Ruyan said that Sun Aiguo and the others had forced her to get the medicine, Sun Aiguo took out the strip of aspirin.

With freshly produced aspirin available, who would still believe Liu Ruyan's words?

Sun Aiguo was once again grateful that Qi Yuan had brought the medicine; otherwise, with Liu Ruyan's outburst, they would have been unable to stay in the village any longer.

There's no need to express my gratitude; I'll repay you in the future.

Qi Pan and Qi Wang were always acting mysteriously, and Qi Yuan just pretended not to see it. He would go to the fields when he was supposed to, and go hunting when he wasn't.

Lazy Qi Yuan would never actually climb a mountain to hunt. He would usually find a place to go into his spatial dimension, and after a few hours, he would take his prey and circle the village.

As for the work in the fields, it was all a smokescreen. At night, Qi Yuan would release puppets to help him farm.

Therefore, after the busy farming season, most people lost weight. Even Qi Pan and Qi Wang inevitably became darker and thinner. Only Qi Yuan not only didn't get darker, but also gained two pounds.

On the day the original owner of the body passed away in the previous life, the two children refused to go to school and insisted on staying by Qi Yuan's side, even when Qi Yuan promised not to go hunting in the mountains. Qi Yuan thought that the two children were tired from going to school every day, so missing one day wouldn't matter. He took the two children to town and went on a shopping spree.

As darkness fell, the father and his two daughters returned home. The siblings, seeing their living father, finally felt relieved after more than three years of worry.

Being reborn too late, unable to return before their mother passed away, has always been a source of regret for the siblings. Now that their father has been brought back, it can be considered a consolation for them.

In recent years, the siblings have been skipping grades like crazy. Qi Yuan doesn't know what they're in such a hurry for, but he doesn't care anyway. The children have lived three lifetimes, and they should have their own opinions. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let the siblings be reborn.

In 1975, Qi Pan, who was already working in the town, suddenly returned home in the dead of winter. Qi Yuan knew without a doubt that there was going to be a good show to watch.

Following the crowd toward the river, Qi Yuan spotted Qi Pan, who was sitting nearby eating melon seeds and watching the commotion.

"Daughter, what's going on? Give Dad some melon seeds." Qi Yuan pushed through the crowd and approached Qi Pan.

"I heard that Liu Ruyan has taken a fancy to Qin Shou from our village and is plotting to make him marry her. Anyway, I don't know anything about it. When I came here, the two of them were already like this."

"Crunch, eh? Honey flavor? This flavor is delicious. I also like milky flavored sunflower seeds. When will your factory develop new flavors?" I forgot to mention that, for Qi Yuan's sake, Qi Pan ultimately chose the worst sunflower seed factory among the meat processing plant, state-run restaurant, supply and marketing cooperative, and sunflower seed factory, just so that he could develop more flavors for Qi Yuan.

Liu Ruyan and Qin Shou were frozen into ice sculptures. Their eyes met, their lips pressed together, but Qin Shou's eyes were full of love, while Liu Ruyan's eyes were filled with fear.

[Tsk, I was thinking of watching it like TV, and this is it? Too fast! What's the difference between this and lying down, closing your eyes, waiting to be hypnotized and fall asleep, only to have it all over in one sentence? Short, far too short.]

Tangyuan commented from her online space, seemingly enjoying the spectacle.

Hurry up and finish; dawdling is annoying.

"Dad, how old are you? Why do you still want to go skiing? Can you please stop worrying us?"

"You're telling me what to do now? When you were kids, you were always so secretive, did I ever tell you what to do? Everyone has secrets, right? I just want to go skiing, so what! Are you looking down on forty-year-olds skiing or what? Do you believe I'll record your ugly face and show it to your fans?"

"Dad, forty-nine years old, not forty..." Qi Wang wanted to say something, but Qi Pan stopped him.

"Dad, if you promise to stay with us safe and sound until we grow old, I'll let you go."

Faced with his daughter's gaze, Qi Yuan could only reluctantly make a promise in the end.

In this life, Qi Yuan lived a fulfilling life, although he had no career! But his family was harmonious, his children were filial, and they gave him money to spend every day. Apart from keeping a close eye on him and not letting him go skiing abroad, everything else suited Qi Yuan's wishes.

In the end, Qi Yuan kept his promise and sent his children away before leaving the small world.
