Why are you pulling my sister-in-law?

"Please, please don't hit my sister-in-law! That man is the bad guy; he bullied my sister-in-law. Why are you hitting my sister-in-law and not that man?"

Seeing his sister-in-law being beaten by the crowd, Zhou Xiaowu was both angry and anxious. Unfortunately, he was no match for the crowd at all. Several times he tried to go up and save his sister-in-law, but he was pushed to the ground by the crowd.

"You idiot Zhou, your sister-in-law is cheating on you!"

"Those who steal people should be caught, stuffed into a pig cage, and drowned!"

An old woman saw this boy and kept trying to rush up to rescue the original owner of the body, so she pulled him aside and carefully explained to him what it meant to steal someone's body.

Unfortunately, Zhou Xiaowu couldn't listen to any of this. He only felt that the original owner was his last family. If the original owner also died, then he would really have no family left.

Zhou Xiaowu started crying and making a scene, but no one paid any attention to him. After everyone tied up the original owner, they dragged him to the riverbank outside the village.

Soon the pig cage was carried over, and everyone hurriedly stuffed the original owner into it. Then, when the appointed time arrived, the village chief ordered his men to throw the original owner into the river.

The original owner was trapped in a pig cage and was unable to struggle. He died in an unnamed river outside the village.

After the original owner died, Zhou Xiaowu became a child without anyone to care for him. In addition, because he was not very bright, he was often bullied by the villagers.

Finally, the Zhou family's property was seized by the villagers, and Zhou Xiaowu was driven out, ending up homeless.

He wandered around the village for several months, and then disappeared without a trace. No one has seen him since.

The children from the Zhou family who were sold off didn't fare too well either.

The first two girls who were sold went to work as maids for the wealthy man.

Not long after, they caught the eye of a wealthy man, who, after drinking, forced himself on them. The older sister, unable to bear the humiliation, hanged herself in her room.

The younger sister, who was too young to commit suicide, was hated by the lady of the house, who tormented her every day.

He eventually froze to death in a harsh winter.

The Zhou family had two boys, one of whom was sold to a farmer as his son. Unfortunately, because he was old and had memories, he always wanted to run back home, so the male head of the household broke both his legs.

The family originally wanted him to carry on their family line, but because of his broken legs, no woman was willing to marry him.

In the end, this family simply abandoned their son, threw him outside, and bought a younger boy instead, raising him from a young age.

Zhou Xiaohai was abandoned by the roadside, and shortly after he was thrown out, a heavy rain began to fall.

After being caught in the rain, he developed a high fever and died from the disease a few days later.

Another boy was sold to another place, and nobody knows where he went or what happened to him.

"System, what was the original owner's wish?"

This story is sad enough that even after witnessing so many outrageous incidents, Lin Xue still felt a heavy weight in her heart.

"The original owner hoped she could live; she hoped she had never sold any of the Zhou family's children!"

"Host, the original owner only had these two wishes. Perhaps she herself felt that she had committed heinous crimes and had no face to ask for anything more!"

629 examined the incident and finally revealed the original owner's wish.

"So where are we now? Is Zhou Tianli still alive?"

Lin Xue certainly hoped the situation wouldn't be too bad. If Zhou Tianli hadn't died, the whole family should have been able to get by.

Otherwise, she might have to work harder in the days to come.

"Host, Zhou Tianli was buried three days ago, and the children have gone to work in the fields on their own initiative, not daring to disturb you at this time!"

Lin Xue knew the mission wouldn't be easy. Was she destined to become the queen of children in this life?

"Okay, I understand!"

"You've had a tough time in the last world, now you can finally rest. Leave this world to me!"

Lin Xue composed herself, checked the supplies in her room, and then left her room.

"Thank you, host, I'm not tired!"

"Host, feel free to call me if you need anything. I have a lot of skins now, and I can disguise myself as a random passerby to help you in special circumstances!"

Before leaving, 629 sincerely reminded Lin Xue of something.

"I understand. You should go and rest now. I'll let you know if I need anything!"

"By the way, once the cheat system for this world is implemented, remember to tell me as soon as possible!"

After the two main students chatted for a while, Lin Xue began to look around the house.

This house has a total of 6 rooms and was left by the older generation of the Zhou family.

The main house has four rooms, the side rooms have two rooms, plus a kitchen and a storage room.

This house occupies a considerable area, with vegetable gardens in both the front and back.

Now she occupies the east wing, next to which is the living room, and further west are two more rooms where the five children live.

Two girls occupied one room, and three boys occupied another.

The youngest child in the Zhou family is 10 years old, so she doesn't need to worry about their daily lives.

The oldest is 15 years old, and he'll be able to get married in two more years.

The eldest boy is named Zhou Xiaocang, the third is Zhou Xiaohai, the fourth is Zhou Xiaowu, the fifth is Zhou Xiaoting, and the sixth is Zhou Xiaomei!

The eldest son, Zhou Tianli, is no longer with us; now only she and her five children remain in the family.

Lin Xue checked the kitchen and then the grain in the house.

They discovered that Zhou Tianli had left behind quite a few supplies. If they were careful with their food, they should be able to survive until the harvest.

Lin Xue glanced at the sky; it was still early before noon, and the children couldn't possibly be back so soon, so she went to the backyard.

She had spent a lot of time working in the fields with Lin Jiuyuan during the interstellar era in the previous world, so she had some experience with farming.

Moreover, this is a normal world, and the soil conditions are much better than in the interstellar era.

I pulled out some weeds from the vegetable garden in the backyard, watered the withered seedlings, and then picked a few greens to prepare for lunch.

After washing a few vegetables by the well and placing them in the kitchen, Lin Xue went into the children's room and immediately cast a few dust-removing spells on them.

If fleas and lice are not eradicated completely in one go, they will keep reappearing.

Lin Xue didn't want to see fleas and lice from the children jumping onto the table while she was eating; the image was too idyllic to bear!

After chanting the cleansing incantation several times inside and outside the rooms, Lingxue finally felt a little more at ease.

I went back to the kitchen to prepare lunch and boiled a big pot of water so the kids could have a good bath at noon.
