After Going to the Countryside, Relying on the Check-in System to Help My Sisters

Before Wen Xi's rebirth, she only knew that the world she lived in was a novel.

But she wasn't the female lead; she was just a passerby with few scenes. Her elder sister, while their ...

Chapter 464 Obtained System Energy

The woman smiled shyly, "I'm glad you don't mind. Actually, we brought potatoes with us because we think they're easy to grow. We plan to plant more so that we'll always have something to eat."

Wen Xi nodded, without saying much.

After eating potatoes, the two children became sleepy, so their mother took them to sleep in the cave. There were no beds in the cave, only old mattresses and other things they had brought from home.

The trees here are tall and have a canopy that blocks out the sun. Sunlight can only filter through the gaps in the leaves, creating dappled patterns. It's not hot at all, making it a great place to escape the summer heat.

Wenxi and the woman sat at the entrance of the cave. The woman's eyes were fixed on the direction the man had left in. She must have been very worried about him, since he had ventured alone into a dangerous place and was bound to face many dangers.

But if this matter is not resolved, they will have no way to go down the mountain and start a normal life. Are they just going to hide in the mountains for the rest of their lives?

It's one thing for them to be elders, but are they going to let their children live like savages, going hungry one meal a day and full the next?

Once we go down the mountain and back to the village, we can earn food by working. If we work hard, we should be able to make a living, right?

"Young lady, could you please give our two children new names? Neither of us has ever been to school, and the children's names were just randomly chosen by their grandparents." The woman turned to look at the pretty young girl with embarrassment.

She looked clean and refined, clearly not someone who could be raised in an ordinary farming family.

"What is your child's surname?" Wenxi asked.

The woman said, "My surname is Sun."

Wenxi originally wanted to name her two children "Extraordinary", which would represent great achievements and influence in the future. However, when she thought of Tian Xiaoke, Wenxi hesitated. In the end, she left the decision to the children's mother.

“I’ve thought of two names. You can choose one yourself. The first is ‘Feitong’ and ‘Xiaoke,’ which represent great achievements in the future. The second is ‘Zhenxing’ and ‘Zhonghua,’ which means becoming a pillar of society in the future,” Wen Xi said.

“Sun Zhenxing and Sun Zhonghua?” the woman asked.

Wenxi nodded.

"Then let's call him that. It sounds more impressive. Could you please write it down for me? I'll change the child's name when I get back," the woman said.

Her children can finally get rid of the so-called "lowly names." What do you mean by "lowly names make it easier to raise them"? It's obvious that they don't like them and think the children don't deserve nice names!

Wenxi took out paper and pen from her basket, wrote down the names of the two children, and handed them to the woman. The woman held the paper in both hands, carefully looking at the two names, as if she wanted to engrave them in her mind. But no matter what she did, she couldn't remember how to write the two names.

Wenxi didn't know what time it was when she arrived. She only knew that she waited for a long time, until it got dark and the sky was covered by thick clouds, before the child's father returned with his injuries.

The woman rushed forward to greet him, "Honey, what happened? Did they hit you?"

How could he possibly fight against so many people all by himself?

"Is there anything to eat? I'm starving," the man said, panting.

They were afraid of being seen by the villagers, so they found a cave that was very far away from the village. He felt like he was going to die every time he went back and forth.

The woman quickly went back to the cave, took out two potatoes that were left over, and handed them to the man. Although the potatoes were cold, the temperature was high now, so it was fine to eat cold potatoes.

Wenxi sat at the entrance of the cave watching them without saying anything or urging the man. Even a clay figure has some spirit; she didn't believe that the man wouldn't move forward after she had pointed out the way.

The man quickly finished two potatoes and drank a bowl of water before excitedly pulling something out of his pocket. "Look what this is!"

The woman took it, examined it carefully, and shook her head. "I can't read, I can't understand it."

Then he quickly handed it to Wenxi, "Miss, could you please help us see what's written on this?"

Wenxi took the paper and looked at it. She didn't expect it to be a severance agreement. However, a family that would watch their granddaughter die without helping them should indeed be severed from.

Wenxi read the agreement severing ties to the two of them. They were very satisfied after hearing it. Now they were finally free from the constraints of their families and would no longer be bullied by them.

"Brother, how did you manage to get the agreement to sever ties?" Wen Xi asked curiously.

“Girl, I did exactly as you said. I went straight to the kitchen, grabbed a knife, and then grabbed their favorite grandson. I told him my daughter was dead and I wanted to take someone down with me so she wouldn’t be alone. If you want me to let him go, you’d better cut ties with him, or else…” the man said excitedly.

He now realizes that compromising will not bring happiness; it will only cause his wife and children to suffer, and those other people will not be satisfied either.

Even giving them your life wouldn't be enough to satisfy their hunger, so why not live for yourself?

After all, he has a wife and children behind him. If something happens to him, how pitiful his wife and children will be.

"So what are your plans next?" Wenxi asked curiously. "Are you going back to the brigade where the Sun family lives, or to the brigade where the child's maternal grandparents live?"

“Our household registrations are all here, so we can only work here to earn work points. I plan to use my work points to rent an empty house in the team for a while, and then make mud bricks myself and slowly build the house,” the man said.

"It's good that you have a plan in mind. I hope you can bravely stand up to protect your wife and children in the future. Look, you stood up today. It wasn't that hard, was it? If they're shameless, be even more shameless than them. If they're arrogant, be even more arrogant than them. Just learn from them. After doing it a few times, naturally no one will dare to mess with you." Wenxi instructed, "It's getting late, I should go home too. Come over tomorrow morning and I'll go down the mountain with you."

Wenxi went to other places and then flashed into the system warehouse. This family of four was about to start a new life, and they had nothing at home. She would give them a little help, since she had money and supplies now!

She was determined to help someone to the end, and since she had already gone this far, she didn't mind helping a little more. Although she didn't gain any tangible benefits on the surface, she did receive system energy.

With this system's energy, she saved herself countless troubles.
