Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Wish Check-in Machine

After returning to her space, Xia Mingwei couldn't wait to check the results of her mission.

This time, she not only stored a lot of valuable items, but also happily discovered that her space was much larger than before.

It seems we've made quite a bit of progress!

Seeing Xia Mingwei's delighted expression, Xiao Ba pressed on, "Host, shall we continue with the mission?"

Looking at her well-stocked space, Xia Mingwei answered without hesitation, "Accept it!"

"Task transmission in progress, please prepare, host!"

During the transmission mission, Xia Mingwei took the opportunity to read the original owner's story.

This world is an ancient one, with productivity similar to that of the Tang Dynasty.

The original owner of Xia Mingwei's mother died of illness when she was young. The original owner's father was named Xia Heng, and he was a scholar.

After the original owner's mother passed away, Xia Heng did not remarry and lived with Xia Mingwei, relying on each other for survival.

Although Xia Heng harbored a dream of becoming an official, he failed the imperial examinations for many years and had to give up on that idea.

To support his family, with the help of the village chief, he found a job as a teacher. He taught the village children, giving them their first lessons, and the fees he earned were enough for him and his daughter to live on.

According to the original plan, Xia Heng would arrange a marriage for Xia Mingwei after she came of age, giving her a grand and dignified wedding. Perhaps the newlyweds would have their share of ups and downs, but they would support each other and walk through life together!

But plans can never keep up with changes, and the turning point came when Xia Mingwei was fifteen years old.

On one of his journeys, Xia Heng encountered bandits and was on the verge of death when he was rescued by Li Shi, a young man from a neighboring village who happened to be on the road.

At the time, Li Shi was not yet married. In order to repay Li Shi for saving his life, Xia Heng immediately expressed his willingness to marry his daughter Xia Mingwei to him.

Seeing that a free wife was offered to him, and that his future father-in-law was a scholar, Li Shi naturally wouldn't refuse such a good thing and gladly accepted Xia Heng's "gift of gratitude."

Xia Heng regretted his decision after making the promise. He had acted rashly and arranged his daughter's marriage in a moment of impulsiveness! At the time, Xia Heng only thought Li Shi was bold and righteous, and had not yet inquired about his family situation.

Xia Heng and his daughter had relied on each other for many years, so naturally he wanted to find a good future for her.

Fortunately, the information he later obtained through inquiries wasn't too bad, which put his mind at ease.

Li Shi was the son of a butcher in a neighboring village; his family ran a butcher shop. Perhaps because of the heavy use of killing, the Li family was not very prosperous, and most members died very young.

The villagers had no other way to make a living, so Li Shi, having reached a certain age, followed in his father's footsteps and took over the business of slaughtering pigs and selling meat at a stall.

Although their reputation wasn't great, the Li family's assets were still quite considerable because they made money as butchers.

Thinking that his daughter would be able to make decisions for the family after marriage, Xia Heng considered it for a while and then agreed to the Li family's marriage proposal.

After Xia Mingwei married into the family, she began to take charge of the household. As Xia Heng had wished, they enjoyed a very sweet period of time.

However, the longer the original owner spent with Li Shi, the more she discovered a flaw in him that was hard to ignore.

Initially, being newlyweds, the original owner hadn't noticed anything amiss. But as time went on, Li Shi's problem became increasingly apparent!

Li Shi is a righteous person, but he always likes to help others without considering his own family's actual situation. He also likes to call on his friends and take on other people's problems himself!

When Xia Mingwei first saw Li Shi acting this way, she tried to persuade him with a few words, but instead, Li Shi launched into a tirade of criticism.

“If I weren’t so kind-hearted, your father would have been dead long ago, and you wouldn’t have the right to boss me around!” This was a sentence that Li Shi often said to Xia Mingwei.

In Xia Mingwei's view, Li Shi had indeed saved her father's life, and she felt guilty, so she swallowed her anger.

But unexpectedly, Xia Mingwei's forbearance only led to Li Shi's escalating aggression.

When Li's father was alive, there were people who could keep Li Shi in check. Because of his father's authority, Li Shi only dared to give small things to others.

But once Li's father left, Li Shi had no more scruples and completely unleashed his nature as a "great philanthropist".

His brother had no money to start a business? No problem, he'll pay for it! The elderly in the village had no food? No problem, he'll take care of them!

As long as someone speaks a few words to Li Shi, plays the victim in front of him, and makes up some "connections that are impossible to reach even through eight hundred twists and turns," Li Shi will willingly hand over a lot of hard-earned money.

Seeing Li Shi's generosity, the villagers were happy to shower him with compliments, calling him a "generous spender." After all, it would be foolish not to take advantage of a good deal!

Soon, with the complaints of various suffering people in the village, the Li family's savings were quickly depleted.

If Li Shi were to do "good deeds" by himself alone, he would only be suffering! But he felt that wasn't enough, and he insisted on getting his whole family involved in doing "good deeds"!

After Li Shi emptied his pockets, in order to avoid starving, the original owner had no choice but to do menial jobs such as washing and drying clothes and take odd jobs in town to support himself.

But every time the original owner received his wages, Li Shi would find them and make him take them out to help the "poor"!

Over time, the Li family became destitute, and the original owner and her child struggled to even have enough to eat! Apart from Li Shi gaining a reputation as a "good person," the family had nothing left!

The original owner had also considered leaving Li Shi, but this era was extremely harsh on women who divorced or abandoned their partners. She feared that she would be drowned in the scorn of the world the moment she left Li Shi.

The original owner's scholar father had passed away two years after his marriage, and he had no brothers or sisters to support him. Looking at his young child, the original owner gave up the idea of ​​leaving.

Because of the lack of food and clothing on a daily basis, the original owner's child appeared shorter and thinner than other children of the same age.

During a change of seasons, the original owner's child caught a cold and quickly fell ill.

The original owner's child had a persistent high fever, which greatly worried her. She thought it best to consult a doctor for her child.

However, the family had no money at all. Therefore, the original owner begged the master of the house where she worked to give her some money so that she could pay for her child's medical treatment first.

The original owner managed to borrow some money, but when he finally managed to get a doctor to come to his home, he discovered that the money he had borrowed had once again vanished.

The original owner had no choice but to beg the doctor to examine the child first. Seeing that she was also a pitiful person, the doctor agreed.

After carefully diagnosing the child, the doctor prescribed several doses of medicine and urged the original owner to get the medicine as soon as possible to avoid delaying the child's treatment.
