Quick Transmigration: The main focus is on speed.

The original owner was the eldest son, with a younger brother named Qinian, who was five years younger than him.

When Qi's mother was pregnant, she told the original owner that the eldest brother is like a father and that he should take care of his younger brother and support the family. The original owner was young and had been brainwashed by Qi's mother. Gradually, he really did use his weak little shoulders to shoulder the responsibility of the Qi family.

From a young age, the original owner was taught by his elders to love and care for his younger brother and to act like an older brother. He was thoroughly brainwashed, and even in death, his mind was filled with thoughts of his useless younger brother.

The original owner forgot that the premise of the eldest brother being like a father was that their father was dead, but their father was alive and well.

When it was time for him to go to school, all the other children his age went to school, but the original owner was always carrying his precious younger brother in and out of the basket. The younger brother in the basket was always clean and looked like a little dumpling, while the original owner was in a sorry state, looking like a little beggar.

Later, the education bureau came down to inspect and saw that the original owner was already ten years old and had not yet started school. After criticizing the original owner's parents, they finally allowed the original owner to go to school.

The original owner cherished the opportunity to study, but he did not forget his responsibility as the eldest brother. He never lingered after school and always rushed home so that he could help with the chores at home.

Perhaps due to the original owner's good genes, or perhaps because she was older than the other children, the original owner consistently achieved top grades, even skipping three grades. She was admitted to the best high school in the city. However, her mother didn't plan for her to study in the city, not for any other reason than the distance from home, fearing that the original owner would become too independent and never return.

No amount of persuasion could change the original owner's mind. The more people tried to persuade her, the more her mother would cry, make a scene, and threaten suicide. Finally, she gave up the original owner's idea of ​​going to high school in the city and stayed in the county to study.

During his three years of high school, the original owner didn't spend a single penny of his family's money. On the contrary, he could bring home several tens of yuan in scholarships and various certificates of honor each semester. The original owner carefully brought the certificates of honor home, protecting them so that there wasn't a single crease. Little did he know that after the original owner left for school, all those certificates of honor were given to Qi Nian by his mother, who used them to make firewood.

The original owner's college entrance examination results were outstanding; she was not only the top science student in the county but also the top science student in the city. Combined, the scholarships alone amounted to 100,000 yuan. Moreover, the university she applied to waived her tuition and fees for four years, and if she continued to pursue postgraduate studies, the tuition and fees would still be fully waived.

Qi's mother was overjoyed and told everyone that the original owner was her precious treasure. She told outsiders that she would give the original owner 100,000 yuan, but in reality, the original owner didn't even have 1,000 yuan on her when she left.

"Qi Yuan, Mom will save this money for you. Anyway, the school doesn't require any money. I'll save it up and buy you a house. Once you graduate, you'll have a new house to live in. Isn't that great?" That's what Qi's mother said, and the original owner believed her.

During his four years of university, the original owner worked part-time to support himself and never asked his family for a single penny. Of course, if the original owner didn't want it, his parents certainly wouldn't give it to him either.

Because of her excellent grades, the original owner was recommended for postgraduate studies, which meant another two years. During this time, her mother would call her every month, which made her, who rarely received calls from her mother during her university years, feel the warmth of home.

So much so that whenever Qi's mother asked for money, the original owner would send all the money she earned from working and studying to Qi's mother without batting an eye, keeping only 500 yuan for living expenses for herself each month.

When the original owner graduated with a master's degree, he was already twenty-five years old, and his younger brother, Qi Nian, from his hometown was also twenty.

Unlike the original owner, Qi Nian disliked reading and school from a young age, and her grades were always at the bottom. If she accidentally got second to last place in a test, it was definitely because one of the children had missed the test.

Not only that, Qi Nian was extremely spoiled and had the kind of personality that was fearless and would not be satisfied until he had to make a huge mess of things.

Fighting and brawling are commonplace. If the Qi family didn't live in town and knew everyone they went out with, given Qi Nian's scoundrel nature, he would probably have been sent to the police station for ten days or half a month long ago.

I don't know what Qi Nian is thinking. She's twenty years old, and instead of studying hard or learning a trade, she hangs out with that bunch of bad friends every day. Her parents don't care at all.

And so, she got someone else pregnant.

If it were someone else's girlfriend, things would be fine; they could simply have a wedding banquet first, and then get their marriage certificate when they reach the legal age. But this Qi Nian, whether instigated by someone or simply being stupid, somehow managed to run into the wife of a gangster boss.

This has stirred up a hornet's nest. In order to save her beloved son, Qi Nian, from disaster, Qi's mother called the original owner of the body back.

The original owner brought back a bunch of gifts with a silly grin. As soon as he entered the house, he was busy chopping wood and jumping into the water. When it was time for dinner, Qi's mother suggested that Qi's father and the original owner have a few drinks. The original owner agreed without thinking, even though he had a very low alcohol tolerance.

When the original owner woke up the next day, he found himself lying in bed with a woman. Before he could react, the door was kicked open and a group of heavily tattooed men rushed in, each holding various controlled knives. They started hitting the original owner on the body and head.

A short while later, the original owner collapsed in a pool of blood, dying without understanding what had happened the previous night.

After the original owner died, all those involved in her murder were arrested. As for Liu Ruyan, who had been in bed with the original owner, she eventually married Qi Nian while pregnant. Qi Nian's mother used the compensation and insurance money from the original owner to buy Qi Nian a house and opened a shop for the young couple. They lived a prosperous life afterward and never thought to burn any paper money for the original owner during festivals.

Other ghosts in the underworld received remittances from their families, but the original owner of this body didn't. Over time, the original owner's soul gradually became transparent. Some kind-hearted ghosts, unable to bear seeing him suffer, pooled together some money for him to return to the mortal realm. Then, the original owner overheard his mother and father saying, "I knew that fortune teller was right! It's a good thing we didn't send Qi Yuan back, otherwise our Anian wouldn't have been able to avoid this calamity. Now everything is so much better..."

The original owner could understand each word individually, but when put together, he couldn't understand a single sentence.

What do you mean by "send it back"? Where are you sending it? What do you mean by "protecting from calamity"? Is your existence solely for the purpose of protecting others from calamity?

The original owner was a stubborn person who liked to dwell on things. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Eventually, his soul couldn't bear it and his soul completely dissipated. Fortunately, while the original owner was alive, the project he was researching achieved a major breakthrough, which later benefited mankind and added a lot of merit to the original owner, which led to the arrival of Qi Yuan.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Qiyuan, Mom misses you. Come back and see Mom tomorrow." Qiyuan was on the phone when she transmigrated. When she heard the person on the other end of the line calling herself "Mom," she knew who it was.

"Okay." Hearing Qi Yuan agree, Qi's mother didn't ask about the specific time or whether someone needed to pick her up. In Qi's mother's opinion, Qi Yuan wasn't worth their trouble, so she naturally didn't ask.

That's true. Sending Qiyuan back was also to protect Qinian from disaster; otherwise, Qi's mother wouldn't have let Qiyuan return. Qiyuan always overshadows Qinian, which has long made Qi's mother dissatisfied with Qiyuan.

After hanging up the phone, Qi Yuan didn't pack her things, nor did she go to several shopping malls to buy them gifts like the original owner did. She put on her coat, left the school gate, and took a ride home.

Ridesharing is more expensive than taking a bus, but at least it's less hassle and less tiring. Qi Yuan hates being tired the most. If the original owner hadn't been so broke, Qi Yuan would have chartered a car. This trip back is also to ask for money. As for how to ask, it depends on Qi Yuan's mood.

After getting off the highway, it took another two or three hours before Qi Yuan finally arrived at her destination, which was already past five o'clock. In her previous life, the original owner had changed buses several times and finally arrived home around eight or nine o'clock. As soon as she got home, there was no hot meal waiting for her, and she had to start working as soon as she entered the door.

Later, when the prayer was finally answered and the mother instructed the original owner to prepare the meal.

Now it's all resentment. Want him to do any work? Forget about it, he won't even leave a crack in the window.

"Knock knock knock!" The large iron gate was knocked on by Qi Yuan, and it took a while before Qi's mother's voice came through.

"Coming, coming, who is it?" The large iron gate was opened, and Qi's mother's harsh face appeared in front of Qi Yuan.

When Qi's mother saw that it was Qi Yuan who had returned, she subconsciously looked at Qi Yuan's hands and found that he hadn't bought anything. She curled her lip, rolled her eyes, and snorted coldly, "Well, you've grown some guts now. I asked you to come back and see me, and you didn't even buy anything?"

"Mom, didn't you tell me to come back early? I was just worried that you might have something urgent to do and that I might be late..." At this hour, none of the neighbors were home; they were either playing mahjong or chatting at other people's houses. Seeing that there were no onlookers, Qi Yuan didn't get to use his skills.

Hearing Qi Yuan say this, Qi's mother's face darkened. Thinking of what Qi Nian had done, she decided not to hold Qi Yuan accountable anymore.

"Alright, remember to make up for it when you send money back next time. If your dad and I need anything, we'll buy it ourselves."

"Okay." Qi Yuan agreed readily. As for whether there would be another chance to send money, that would depend on Qi's mother's fate. However, with Qi Yuan around, it was likely that the entire Qi family would not have a good life.

Qi Yuan followed her mother with a smile. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she went straight to her house. As soon as she opened the door, a musty smell and dust hit her, making Qi Yuan sneeze.

"Oh dear, you haven't come back for so many years, so I haven't cleaned. Since you're back early, you can clean it yourself." Mother Qi said this without feeling guilty at all. After saying this, she didn't care about Qi Yuan's reaction and turned to go back to her room.

For some reason, when Qi Yuan returned this time, Qi's mother felt that Qi Yuan was acting strangely. She didn't know exactly what was wrong, but she felt uneasy.

Suppressing her unease, Qi's mother took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Qi Nian.

"Yes, yes, Qi Yuan is back. I'll have your dad have a few drinks with him, and you can bring Ru Yan back with you. Don't worry, Qi Yuan can't hold his liquor, so he definitely won't touch Ru Yan. Hmm... Just listen to your mother. Would your mother ever harm you?"

Then we'll not only get rid of Ruyan's man, but we'll also get a large insurance payout. Mom will buy you an apartment in the county then..."

As Qi's mother spoke, she became increasingly happy. Qi Yuan stood at the door listening, his divine sense sweeping across the room where Qi's mother was. He saw a large iron box placed at the very back of the wardrobe in the lower right corner. If nothing unexpected happened, this was all the savings the Qi family had.

Judging from the size of the metal box, it should be full of cash.

Qi's mother was still inside making a phone call, and Qi Yuan hadn't cleaned the room. Anyway, she wouldn't be in her room tonight, so why bother cleaning it? Qi Yuan wandered around the yard aimlessly. When Qi's mother finished her call and came out, she saw Qi Yuan standing under a tree, looking up at the sky.

Following Qi Yuan's gaze, Qi's mother looked up but didn't see any windfall. She then looked down at Qi Yuan's feet but didn't see any money. Only then did Qi's mother slap Qi Yuan on the shoulder.

"Ouch! Is there a stone in your shoulder? It hurts so much..." How could it not hurt? Qi Yuan was just waiting for her mother to do this.

"Huh? Mom, what's wrong? What happened?" Qi Yuan pretended to have just come to her senses, looking completely bewildered. Qi's mother rolled her eyes at Qi Yuan's expression.

"I told you to tidy up the house, what are you doing here looking at trees! Have you finished tidying up the house?"

"No, I was thinking that I don't come back often, and it would just gather dust if I cleaned it up. So I thought I'd just stay with Xiaonian tonight. If it's really not possible, I can wait for Dad to come back and then go back to school later."

Upon hearing Qi Yuan say she wanted to go back to school, Qi's mother's expression instantly changed; she smiled and spoke more gently.

"What nonsense are you talking about, child? You've finally come home, how can you not stay at home for one night? What will people think if they see this? You'll stay in your brother's room tonight, Mom will decide." As if afraid that Qi Yuan wouldn't believe her, Qi's mother pushed Qi Yuan towards Qi Nian's room, opened the door and pushed Qi Yuan inside, saying, "You must be tired from coming back, you should sleep for a while, Mom will wake you up when your dad and brother come back."
