Quick Transmigration: The main focus is on speed.

Chapter 77 Favoring Women Over Men (Qi Yuan)

In the early 1970s, in Qijia Village, Qi Laosan's family finally had a daughter. This made Qi Laosan, who already had four sons, extremely happy. He would boast to everyone he met that he had a daughter.

Qi Laosan and Zhang Guifang had four sons: the eldest, Qi Xi, was twelve years old; the second, Qi Zhong, was eleven years old; the third, Qi Zhi, was nine years old; and the fourth, Qi Yuan, was seven years old.

After having four sons in a row, the couple was overjoyed to finally have a sweet and soft little girl. Perhaps because sons were considered less valuable, they doted on their youngest daughter, Qi Bao'er, like a precious jewel, while paying little attention to their four sons.

You can tell the couple's attitude towards Qi Bao'er just from her name.

Qi Laosan and Zhang Guifang were determined to raise their four sons to be Qi Bao'er's slaves and cash cows. In short, the purpose of their four sons' birth was to protect Qi Bao'er and pave the way for her. Whatever Qi Bao'er needed, the four sons would do their best to help her, even if it meant cutting off their own flesh and bleeding themselves.

The couple seemed possessed; in that era of male chauvinism, they defied all norms, doting solely on Qi Bao'er while neglecting their four sons. The Qi family's situation evoked pity from many in the village, with some even wishing they could take the four children home and raise them themselves.

Qi Xi and his three brothers had no objection to their parents' doting on Qi Bao'er. After all, she was their own sister, and it was no big deal to spoil her.

But everything changed when Qi Bao'er turned nine.

On Qi Bao'er's ninth birthday, the family gathered together for a good meal. The four brothers, who rarely ate so much meat, ate with great satisfaction, and their affection for Qi Bao'er grew even stronger. After all, with their mother constantly speaking up for Qi Bao'er, it was hard for the four brothers not to take it to heart.

In the middle of the night, all four were awakened by severe abdominal cramps, some with diarrhea, others with radiating pain in their lower abdomen. The cries of pain woke up Mr. and Mrs. Qi, but instead of taking them to the clinic, they were met with a scolding from the two of them.

"Quiet down! You call yourself a man if you can't even handle a little pain! Don't wake your sister!" Qi Laosan's scolding voice echoed in everyone's ears. The four of them fell silent and endured the pain. They were only able to fall asleep when the pain subsided as dawn approached.

The next day, the couple didn't even ask about the four people's situation, but instead showered Qi Bao'er with concern.

Later, the original owner learned that Qi Bao'er had put sterilization drugs in their food that day. No wonder Qi Bao'er didn't touch any of the meat or vegetables no matter how her parents tried to persuade her. She even said, "Brothers, you've worked hard all these years taking care of me... I won't eat it, I'll leave it all for you brothers..." Considering Qi Bao'er's usual habit of eating alone, this was indeed very unusual.

As for why Qi Bao'er gave the four men sterilization drugs, it was simply because Qi Xi was getting married, and Qi Bao'er was afraid that once there were grandchildren in the family, no one would treat her well anymore, so she decided to solve the problem once and for all.

However, the original owner was not quite sure where the sterilization drug came from.

The four had no children and had to endure gossip and accusations of being unfilial. In the end, Qi's parents removed them from the family tree on the grounds that they could not carry on the Qi family line, all so that Qi Bao'er's child could inherit the Qi family's property.

As for the Qi family's wealth, which was earned by the four brothers, the Qi family parents said, "Don't make things up if you have no evidence."

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.

After receiving the memories, Qi Yuan's first thought was: Could it be that Qi Bao'er saved Qi's parents' lives in her previous life, which is why things are like this in this life?

There was no such thing as saving lives or paying off debts, but Qi Bao'er was born with a spiritual spring, and there were two loyalty pills and four sterilization pills next to the spring. If it wasn't for the Qi family, Qi Yuan would eat poop-flavored chocolate upside down!

It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Qi Yuan transmigrated at the exact moment that Qi's father was showing off Qi Bao'er.

Qi Yuan leaned forward for a look and was surprised to find that Qi Bao'er had acted incredibly quickly; the Loyalty Pill had already been taken by Qi's parents. From this, Qi Yuan realized something was amiss. This Qi Bao'er wasn't some infant at all; wasn't she just a wandering ghost from who-knows-where?

Originally, Qi Yuan had planned to see if he could change Qi Bao'er's temperament, but now he had different ideas. The moment his fingers touched Qi Bao'er's face, the spiritual spring turned into ordinary spring water, and the four sterilization pills turned into fertility pills.

At the same time, Qi Bao'er's big, bright eyes stopped darting around, losing their cleverness and becoming more confused and innocent.

"Go away, go away! Aren't your hands dirty! You're touching your sister!" Father Qi hugged Qi Bao'er and dodged Qi Yuan's touch, then turned around and took Qi Bao'er back into the house.

"Don't be angry, Xiao Si. Our Xiao Si is the cleanest!" Qi Xi saw Qi Yuan pouting and quickly stepped forward to comfort her.

"It's the cleanest for Xiao Si!" Qi Zhong and Qi Zhi chimed in in agreement.

Before Qi Bao'er was born, the four brothers lived a good life. They could eat meat every month and their clothes were unpatched. But ever since Qi Bao'er was able to eat solid food, let alone meat every month, the four brothers haven't even had eggs every week.

If Qi Xi and Qi Zhong hadn't secretly gotten some meat for Qi Zhi and the original owner to improve their meals, these two little ones probably wouldn't have grown to 1.7 meters tall.

"Big brother, does Dad abandon us now that he has a little sister?"

"How could that be? Father was just..." Qi Xi didn't know how to explain for a moment, so he changed the subject.

Following Qi Xi's words, Qi Yuan changed the subject. Every day after that, Qi Yuan would ask her three older brothers, "Big/Second/Third Brother, does the fact that Mom and Dad have a little sister mean they don't want us anymore? Does that mean we'll have to be her slaves from now on? No! I don't want to be slaves, I want to be a person."

Being asked this question by Qi Yuan every day, the three brothers subconsciously began to worry about it as well.

Qi Bao'er is still breastfeeding and can't speak or walk. Her mother is the one who takes care of her. It's not that her mother doesn't want her four sons to be her servants, but she's worried that they might hurt her because they're clumsy. That's why she doesn't let her four sons look after her.

The first year after Qi Bao'er's birth was peaceful.

The year after Qi Bao'er was born: "Eldest brother, go get your sister..." "Second brother, lie down and let your sister ride on her back..." "Third brother, get your sister..." "Fourth brother, your sister..."

The three brothers didn't pay much attention to it once or twice, until their mother asked Qi Zhong to ride on Qi Bao'er's back. In that instant, the three of them remembered Qi Yuan's words, "I don't want to be a beast of burden, I want to be a human being."

"Mother, I..." Qi Zhong wasn't a lowly person. Even though Qi Bao'er was his sister, he didn't want to lie on the ground and be ridden like a horse by her. He hesitated and was about to refuse when his mother slapped him on the back, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground.

Seeing this, Qi's mother nodded in satisfaction and placed Qi Bao'er on Qi Zhong's back.

Although the baby wasn't heavy, his back was still burning from being slapped, and now with a heavy object placed on it, Qi Zhong was still struggling to get up. He wanted to stand up, but with his mother beside him, he could only crawl forward step by step on the ground.

Qi Bao'er danced and swayed on Qi Zhi's back, occasionally shouting "Giddy up! Giddy up!" Hearing this, Qi Zhi felt even more like he had become a beast of burden.

After Qi Bao'er had finally had her fill of playing, Qi Zhi was already exhausted. But he didn't want to stay at home at all. He rubbed his swollen knees and dragged his aching legs out of the house.

All the way, Qi Zhi kept hearing Qi Yuan's words in his mind. When he passed by his fourth maternal uncle's house, he heard Qi Yuan's voice again.

"Fourth Uncle, how about I become your grandson? Anyway, my parents don't like me and treat me badly. They even want me to be Qi Bao'er's slave. But you're good to me, Fourth Uncle, and you don't have a grandson yet, so why don't you adopt me? I'll call you Dad and Qi Laosan Third Brother. What do you say?"

Uncle Qi was amused by Qi Yuan's words and laughed. Qi Zhi, standing at the door, hadn't expected to hear Qi Yuan say such a thing. If Uncle Qi adopted Qi Yuan, wouldn't he have to call Qi Yuan "uncle" from now on? That wouldn't do!

"Dad, why don't you adopt me too? I don't want to call this brat 'uncle'!" Qi Zhi's mind was in a daze, and without thinking, he rushed in. When he saw his maternal uncle, Fourth Master Qi, he knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Seeing this, Qi Yuan also knelt down and kowtowed, not to be outdone.

Uncle Qi: Ah, no, how come I suddenly have two more sons?

"Get up, get up, stop making a fuss. This isn't something an old man like me can decide with just a few words. We can't do this..." Uncle Qi quickly pulled the two of them up. Qi Yuan stood up readily, while Qi Zhi hesitated before getting up, staring blankly at Uncle Qi, looking somewhat aggrieved.

"Oh dear, why is our floor so dirty? Come on, come inside and get a feather duster to dust your second brother off." Hearing his fourth uncle say this, Qi Zhi looked down at his knees and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Uncle Qi was startled by the shout and his hands and feet became flustered.

"Don't cry, oh dear, if people hear this they'll think this old man is bullying you, a little kid. Have some candy, have a piece of candy to sweeten your mouth..."

Qi Zhi pouted, and his fourth uncle stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth. One cheek puffed up, and his crying stopped, but he was still twitching.

Uncle Qi didn't forget Qi Yuan either. He took out another identical candy from his pocket, unwrapped it, and stuffed it into Qi Yuan's mouth.

Qi Yuan: Second brother, you cried well. Try to come and cry every day from now on. Wouldn't that mean you'll get candy every day?

While Uncle Qi was listening to Qi Zhi recount his grievances with sobs, he didn't notice the wicked scheme brewing in Qi Yuanxiao's heart.

After this incident, Qi Zhi started visiting his fourth uncle's house every day, even more frequently than Qi Yuan, and instantly became the fourth uncle's number one little darling.

One must treat everyone fairly. Qi Yuan is not like his parents, who are foolish. They found a good match for his second brother, but they can't leave out his eldest and third brothers, can they?

Thus, Uncle Qi Liu and Aunt Qi Liu welcomed the adorable Qi Xi and the adorable Qi Zhong, brought by the little cutie Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan forgot about himself, or rather, he didn't. After his three older brothers were adopted, he went to the village chief's house. The village chief didn't have a son, and Sister Hongying was so kind to him, always giving him delicious food. Hongying was the village chief's daughter.

Qi Yuan had planned it all out; he was just waiting for the right moment to be adopted out with his brothers.

Five years passed in this wait. During those five years, Qi Yuan often talked about his and his three older brothers' situation at home. He even encouraged his three older brothers to show off their tattered clothes, dirty appearance, and lack of food every day, which further confirmed the fact that Qi Laosan and his wife loved their daughter more than their son.

Some villagers couldn't bear to see the four children living like this and advised Qi Laosan and Li Guifang to treat their sons better. The couple's indifferent attitude only proved this point.

Qi Xi met his wife Zhou Caiyun from his previous life two years earlier than in his previous life. Fate brought them together, and they fell in love at first sight. Qi Xi begged his parents to propose to him, but they refused, citing a lack of money.

Seeing that Zhou Caiyun was going to meet someone else, Qi Xi was depressed all day long. Qi Yuan couldn't see Qi Xi and sighed all day long. He released two puppets and said some ambiguous things to Qi Bao'er on the way.

The next morning, Mr. and Mrs. Qi told their four sons to come home early for dinner that evening.

On his way home in the evening, Qi Yuan would tell everyone, "My parents are going to cook something delicious for me and my brothers today, there'll be meat!" Before he even got home, the whole village knew that Qi Laosan and his wife had somehow decided to give their four sons meat.

After finishing their meal, the villagers gathered at the village entrance to chat and talked about this strange sight. Just as everyone was wondering if Qi Laosan and his wife had realized that their son was also important, they saw Qi Yuan running over covered in blood.
