It doesn't matter if your souls are scattered, as long as you die.

Yun Li hid under the covers and cried her heart out, like a real child.

This cry released thousands of years of repression and grievances she had endured.

While Yunli was crying, Liu'er hugged her younger siblings and cried silently outside the room.

Even Liu'er's father, who lived three rooms away, shed tears.

The cries were so sorrowful and bitter that they struck right to the heart.

After an unknown amount of time, the crying stopped, and Liu'er pushed open the door and went in, stretching out her arms to hug the little bulge on the bed.

"Ah Li, I have a lot to say to you, it's about Yun Jiaoyue."

Yun Li struggled for a moment, then squeezed her head out from under the covers, her eyes filled with tears.

"Liu'er, let's sleep together tonight. You and I will have a good talk about Yun Jiaoyue."

Liu'er nodded emphatically with red eyes, "Let's have a good talk tonight."

"But right now, we need to eat first."

Yun Li glanced at the watch in her spatial storage; it was already 8 PM, and she felt apologetic.

"Then let's go quickly, Qi'er and Ba'er must be hungry." Yun Li threw off the covers and got out of bed, and Liu'er helped her get her clothes.

Liu'er's father didn't come out to eat with us; it was Liu'er's younger sister who brought the food in.

For dinner, we had hot pot, with lamb as the main ingredient and bright green vegetables, spinach, mushrooms, and other side dishes.

Yun Li looked at the fresh vegetables, a fleeting look of doubt in her eyes.

This meal was quite lavish for this era and this region.

You can tell by how much fun Liu'er's younger brother and sister are having eating.

After the meal, Liu'er cleared the dishes, and Yunli followed behind to help, which Liu'er did not stop.

I chatted with her while tidying up.

While their older sister was tidying up, Liu'er's younger siblings fetched hot water from the stove, washed up, and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Conditions in the North are very poor; there's absolutely no electricity. If you don't go to bed early, you'll waste candles.

When Liu'er saw her younger siblings enter the house, she conjured up a large apple out of thin air and gave it to Yun Li right in front of her.

Yun Li looked at the apple, then at Liu'er's expectant face, but did not reach out to take it. Instead, she waved and took out six baskets of fruit.

There are grapes, mangoes, peaches, cherries, bananas, and lychees.

She actually wanted to take more, but the place was too small; it could only fit six baskets.

Liu'er stared dumbfounded at the six baskets of fruit. After a while, she covered her mouth and grinned mischievously.

"Ah Li, you have a space too."

"Yes." Yun Li nodded. "I have plenty of food."

Liu'er pointed to the six baskets of fruit, "Quickly put them away."

Yun Li did not accept it. When Liu'er saw the six baskets of fruit, her eyes were full of disbelief and longing, which meant that she did not have them in her space.

"Liu'er, what's your spatial dimension like?"

It was actually quite impolite to ask that question, but Liu'er didn't realize it.

"My space is about the size of two of my yards, so things won't get damaged if I store them here."

Yun Li swept his mental energy outwards and found that the two courtyards were about 150 square meters in size.

It's quite small.

"Liu'er, I can grow things in my space, and I can eat more vegetables and fruits than I can ever finish."

"By the way, do you have any space left? If so, I'll fill it up for you."

Liu'er is so surprised! There's space for planting. Just imagine it, it's wonderful.

Yun Li pointed to the six baskets of fruit and said, "Let's put them away first."

Knowing so much about her, Liu'er didn't hold back and touched each of them, taking them all.

Yun Li: "How much space is left? Are you mainly short of food, meat, or fruit?"

Liu'er was a little embarrassed, as she had a lot of empty space and had only used a small portion of it.

"There's still half a place left." She didn't say there was more than half left, because she was really embarrassed.

"The main problem is a lack of vegetables and grains."

Yun Li waved her hand, and a huge pile of vegetables filled the room, almost burying her herself.

Liu'er exclaimed in surprise. Looking at the vegetables covering the ground, she jumped up with joy, but her feet were buried in the vegetables, so she didn't jump high.

Seeing her happy made Yun Li very happy too.

"Hurry up and take it, I have many more good things for you."

At this moment, Yun Li was like a child who loved to show off. It was the first time he had met someone related to Yun Jiaoyue, and he subconsciously regarded Liu'er as a family member.

Liu'er didn't stand on ceremony and bent down to collect all the vegetables.

Once the ground was clear, Yunli waved her hand and took out a bunch of vegetables. Without Yunli saying anything, Liu'er collected them.

Then they took out vegetables, followed by fruits, rice, flour, and nutritional supplements and snacks such as milk powder.

Finally, there were six boxes of gold and four boxes of jade.

Liu'er kept collecting things in a daze, only realizing what she had collected after she finished.

They quickly took out the nutritional supplements and ten boxes of treasure.

"Ah Li, you can take these, I don't want them."

Yun Li knew she was worried that she didn't have enough, so she said in a loud voice, "What I'm giving you is less than one-thousandth of what I have. Keep it safe. It's just that your space is too small, otherwise I would have given you more."

Liu'er's mind was filled with less than one-thousandth of that howling voice.

OMG!

Ali is so rich!

She's hooked up with a powerful patron.

Overjoyed, she thought about how she was first reborn thanks to the light of the bright moon, and then how she was trusted and treated so generously by her daughter, and her eyes gradually reddened.

Yun Li was very observant and could tell why she was crying, so she didn't comfort her but just stayed quietly by her side.

After a while, Liu'er stopped crying and started laughing. "Since Ali says so, then I'll accept it without hesitation!"

Yun Li's lips curled up in a smile.

Having exposed each other's personal space, the two have become each other's most trusted confidants.

After washing up, the two lay down on the warm kang (a heated brick bed).

This room has been unoccupied for a long time, so there isn't much furniture inside.

There was only a stool temporarily placed in the corner, with a sun lamp that Yun Li had taken out from his space on it.

The warm-colored light added to the coziness of the room.

"Ah Li, do you know that people go to the underworld after they die?"

"I know."

Liu'er thought of that strange experience, her eyes shining, "I died very young in my previous life, I didn't even live past ten years old."

Upon hearing this, Yun Li turned to look at her and asked, "How did you die?"

"They starved to death!"

Yun Li was surprised; Liu'er's previous life had been so miserable.

Liu'er continued, "I died unjustly, and I was filled with resentment. After I died, I went to the underworld, but I refused to be reincarnated. I stormed into the Yama King's palace and demanded that he kill my parents who were not human."

The King of Hell naturally did not agree and exiled me to the City of the Wrongfully Dead, where I met many wronged ghosts.

Liu'er also turned her head to look at Yun Li, "Among the ghosts I met later, there was your mother, Yun Jiaoyue."

Yun Li's eyes lit up, and her body tensed up. "Is she...is she alright?"

Liu'er shook her head. "No, it should be said that none of the ghosts in the City of the Wrongfully Dead are good."

What she didn't say was that Yun Jiaoyue was the most miserable one.

Seeing Yunli's low spirits and sad expression, she quickly said, "Ali, your mother is really a good mother."

You know, although I was nine years old when I died, I was so thin and small because of prolonged hunger that I wasn't even as tall as a five-year-old. So, naturally, my soul was also thin and small after death.

"When Yun Jiaoyue saw me, she took me in and treated me very well. I once asked her why she was so good to me."

Liu'er looked at Yun Li with gratitude in her eyes, "She said that seeing me reminds her of her Ali."
