Famine-stricken cannon fodder tries to rewrite their lives 2 - First update, mwah...

On his way back, Bai Yu bought a bouquet of roses for Qin Shuang and then took her and Tian Tian out for a big meal.

After returning home and putting Tian Tian to sleep, he went upstairs and drank with Qin Shuang. The two ended up rolling around together after drinking.

Qin Shuang was originally an ordinary primary school teacher. Because she was young and beautiful, she was noticed by a bureau leader who came to inspect the school and was transferred to work in the municipal bureau through nepotism.

Later, she climbed up to a higher-ranking leader and became his kept mistress.

Because of frequent abortions, she has now married and had children. This year, the supervisor who had been supporting her was transferred.

Having lost her powerful backer, and realizing she was getting old and losing her looks, she wanted to find a sucker who didn't care whether she had children or not. Bai Yu was one of the men she found to take her in.

First of all, Bai Yu has a job that has nothing to do with her previous department, and he is also reliable and capable.

She also has a daughter. If she can get him to divorce that despicable Chen Xia and marry her, she will say that because she loves him, she will treat Tian Tian as her own daughter and does not want to have any more children. Then she can have a happy family.

As for whether Bai Yu would take the bait, she believed that no cat is immune to temptation, and with her charm, seducing Bai Yu would be a piece of cake.

Chen Xia learned from the original owner's memories that Bai Yu got involved with Qin Shuang around this time.

With a kind heart, Chen Xia asked the system to give Bai Yu a male enhancement drug that would last for three months.

After taking this medicine, he will be exceptionally vigorous for three months, which will definitely make Qin Shuang very satisfied with Bai Yu in that aspect.

But everything comes at a price. This medicine works immediately, but the side effects are also very obvious. Although you won't be completely incapacitated immediately after three months, the cost of depleting your body is that you will become increasingly incapacitated.

She was also thinking about Qin Shuang's "happiness," since she had previously been with bald old men.

Although her needs were considerable, she could only maintain them for a pitifully short time, yet she still pretended to be extremely satisfied.

Let her enjoy herself this time, and hopefully she'll fall deeply in love with Bai Yu, unable to live without him. That scumbag and bitch should be locked up immediately.

Chen Xia's tactic was very effective; Qin Shuang had originally planned to switch between several suckers.

But Bai Yu's physical strength won her over, and now she wants to be with Bai Yu every day.

Bai Yu was also infatuated with Qin Shuang, and their relationship was like an old house catching fire, quickly becoming uncontrollable.

In the morning, Qin Shuang very considerately got up and fried steak and sunny-side-up eggs for Bai Yu.

Bai Yu and Bai Tiantian were so touched that they exclaimed it was the best and most romantic breakfast they had ever eaten.

Seeing the video captured by the system, Chen Xia couldn't help but sneer, "The original owner has been feeding the dogs all these years of breakfast he made every morning. It's really not a waste of their surname."

Chen Xia didn't stay in Hong Kong for long. After all, she still had so many countries to collect interest on. She needed to hurry up and get a divorce before May Day so she could return to her hometown in Northeast China.

Our first stop is Kansas City in the United States, home to the world's largest warehouse and tens of thousands of farms.

She and Ling Yi split up. They disguised themselves as ordinary white women. Chen Xia sneaked into the storage warehouse, put on an invisibility talisman, and swaggered into the storage ring to collect food.

Ling Yi then went to collect the grain from the granaries of those super-large farm owners.

The two were a perfect match, and their success began in Kansas City and swept across the entire United States.

They accepted all kinds of grains and strategic materials without hesitation, and also took advantage of the situation to acquire several gold vaults, large warehouses and supermarkets, and ports.

By the time the FBI began investigating the matter, the two women had already fled to the Philippines. In addition to the US's strategic overseas grain reserves, there was also delicious rice. With the money they had embezzled from the US, they sent out lifelike robots to buy rice in the Philippines.

Before leaving, they also raided the monkey's family's national grain reserve, letting them investigate however they wanted, since both of them were Westerners anyway.

Following closely behind, Thailand, Vietnam, South Korea, and India also suffered. By the time those countries were in complete chaos, Chen Xia and Ling Yi had already gone to Italy.

She came for the 00 flour. Just like before, she first released dozens of lifelike robots to disperse across various regions and buy up flour in large quantities. Finally, she seized one end of the grain reserve and quickly withdrew.

Chen Xia also collected buckwheat flour from France, but she forgot about the buckwheat flour from Xiao Rizi's family, fearing it would cause mutations.

The last stop is the Russians. When famine comes, money and gold will be like worthless paper. It's better to spend them now, since the Americans will pay for them anyway.

Besides various grains, fruits, vegetables, and all kinds of durable compressed biscuits, canned goods, and sausages are also her main purchases and items bought for free.

From the moment Chen Xia arrived in the United States, she kept receiving calls from Bai Yu. At first, he patiently asked her when she was going back.

Later, every time they talked on the phone, they would argue, and finally, he gave her an ultimatum to divorce her. Chen Xia cursed him horribly on the phone, telling him that anyone who didn't divorce her was a son of a bitch.

These words struck a nerve with Bai Yu. He prided himself on being a filial son, and he could not tolerate Chen Xia insulting his mother like that.

With Qin Shuang's influence and Chen Xia's subsequent trip to China to finalize their divorce, Chen Xia also ended up divorcing him.

The house was marital property and should be divided equally between the two. Qin Shuang heard somewhere that the area was going to be demolished and the house prices would skyrocket. So she urged Bai Yu to convert the property into cash and give it to Chen Xia at the market value.

The two of them thought they had gotten a great deal, but little did they know that this news was actually a rumor that Chen Xia had Ling Yi spread through someone.

Bai Yu has custody of Bai Tiantian, Chen Xia receives one-third of the couple's savings, and one of the other two shares is for Bai Tiantian's child support.

After the divorce, Chen Xia hired a moving company to remove all the appliances and belongings that the original owner had bought, thinking that donating them later would be better than leaving them to the scumbag and the bitch.

After receiving the divorce certificate, Chen Xia felt much better and handed over the overseas zero-dollar purchase plan to Ling Yi to continue.

She bought a sturdy SUV, modified it, and drove it back to her hometown in Northeast China, with the trunk full of clothes she had prepared for her parents.

Chen Xia's hometown is a small town in X County, Heilongjiang Province. It used to be a state-owned forest farm, but now it has declined. Apart from the elderly who remain, almost all the young people have left the town.

Their yard was very large, covering several acres in both the front and back yards. The house was an old-fashioned single-story building with a ridge, the kind of house that couldn't withstand the high temperatures of the dry season and the continuous torrential rains of the apocalypse.

Fortunately, their town is located halfway up a mountain, so even during the rainy season, as long as drainage is properly managed, they will never be flooded.

Bai Yu and Chen Xia had just finished their divorce proceedings when Bai Yu and Qin Shuang went to get their marriage certificate.

Both of them had their own considerations. Bai Yu was worried because his parents were still in the hospital, while Qin Shuang was worried because many people knew about her relationship with her sugar daddy and she was afraid of causing further trouble.

For various reasons, the two ended up only getting a marriage certificate before moving in together.

Qin Shuang thought she had found someone to rely on for the rest of her life, but little did she know that Bai Yu's parents were discharged from the hospital the day after their wedding.

His younger brother used the excuse that his wife was pregnant and needed to rest so he couldn't take care of their parents, so he sent them to Bai Yu's house and then ran away.

To prevent Bai Yu from sending his parents back, he actually sent his wife and son to his father-in-law's house in the provincial capital. Afterwards, he even managed to transfer his own job to the provincial capital, completely dumping the burden on Bai Yu.

Qin Shuang is completely unskilled at housework, so it's unrealistic to expect her to take care of her in-laws. Therefore, the responsibility of caring for Bai Tiantian and serving her parents falls to Bai Yu.

When Bai's parents learned that their youngest son was no longer taking care of them and that their eldest daughter-in-law had divorced him, they were so angry that they burst into tears and forced Bai Yu to bring Chen Xia back.

They also knew that their eldest son's new wife, a vixen, would certainly not serve them. If they wanted a peaceful old age, their final resting place would still be with their eldest daughter-in-law, Chen Xia.

Bai Yu was exhausted both physically and mentally by his parents' antics. He tried to make them understand that he had now divorced Chen Xia and married Qin Shuang.

Chen Xia could never come back to serve them, but Bai's parents wouldn't listen.

They felt that their eldest son had to fulfill any request they made. They even tried calling Chen Xia, only to find that the number was no longer in service.

Unable to contact Chen Xia, they could only continue to cling to their eldest son, Bai Yu, complaining that his cooking was bad and that he was heartless for leaving them behind to go to work.

He could call Bai Yu more than a dozen times a day. Bai Yu was criticized by his boss several times because of this. The boss even emphasized that if he took leave or left early without reason again, he would be transferred to the logistics department.

Bai Yu is on the verge of a breakdown. He is busy with all sorts of things as soon as he opens his eyes every day.

His newlywed wife, Qin Shuang, couldn't help him with anything, and he would demand more and more every night. Even the landlord's ox needs to rest.

He felt exhausted and hoped Qin Shuang could understand him.

Qin Shuang said she couldn't understand. "I'm so lucky to have married you. You said you'd take care of all the housework after we got married, so I won't have to do any work. Why are you complaining about this now?"

The two gradually developed a rift, especially after the effects of the aphrodisiac pill that Chen Xia had contributed wore off, Qin Shuang became even more dissatisfied with Bai Yu.

Bai Yu was even more dissatisfied, because after they got married, Qin Shuang had originally moved in with Bai Yu.

However, after Bai Yu brought his parents home, Qin Shuang complained that Bai's parents relieved themselves in the bedroom all day long, and often wet their pants and soiled the bed, which was too smelly, so she moved back upstairs.

Bai Tiantian also disliked the smell and moved upstairs, leaving only the elderly couple living in Bai Yu's house.

Bai Yu gets up every morning to cook for the two elderly people, change their diapers and sheets, and then goes to work.

I bought lunch and brought it back, and then cleaned up for my parents in the afternoon. The house was usually filled with a stench.

Bai Yu, who hadn't really noticed, called his younger brother Bai Feng and told him that either their parents could take turns living in the two houses, or he could get their retirement pension cards back and he would hire a caregiver.

In the end, Bai Feng chose to give his father's salary card to Bai Yu so that he could hire a caregiver for his parents.

The cost of hiring caregivers and nannies for two elderly people who are unable to take care of themselves is very high, and Mr. Bai's pension alone is simply not enough.

After the two brothers had another argument, Bai Feng finally handed over his mother's salary card.

Bai Yu used their combined retirement savings to hire a professional caregiver, and from then on, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But his superiors had a lot of complaints about him and sidelined him.

Qin Shuang was very disgusted by his lack of energy, and their relationship was in crisis.

Because of a lack of family love, Bai Tiantian's clothes were always wrinkled and she had an unpleasant smell. Her classmates didn't like to play with her, and she became both self-conscious and arrogant. She also learned to lie, often claiming that the school needed her to pay money and that she would get the money from home.

Chen Xia drove back to her hometown and couldn't help but tear up when she saw her parents, whose temples were graying.

When Chen Xia's parents saw her return alone, they excitedly took her hands and asked her how she was doing.

When Chen Xia said she would be staying at their home for an extended period, they didn't ask why Bai Yu and his daughter Bai Tiantian hadn't come.

They knew that Chen Xia must have been wronged, or even that she had separated from or divorced Bai Yu.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have said that she would live at home from now on, enjoying the company of her parents.

There are very few people in the forest farm where Chen Xia and his family live, so the Chen family has two houses next to each other, and they have built houses on both of them.

One is the old house where Chen's parents got married, and the other is the new house where Chen Xia's brother got married.

Chen Xia then suggested that they tear down and rebuild their old house.

When her parents hesitated, she fabricated a story about hearing bits and pieces of information from a classmate who didn't actually know her.

It is said that the next few years will be somewhat turbulent, with either droughts or frequent torrential rains.

Old houses are often in disrepair and there is a risk of leaks and collapse if it rains frequently.

It's better to believe it's true than not to believe it's not. After all, she still has some money on hand. If she rebuilds the house, even if the news is false, the house won't be wasted; she can live there for decades.

After hearing this, Mr. Chen hesitated for a moment and asked, "Divorced?"

Chen Xia nodded: "We got divorced. He cheated on me with the upstairs neighbor and even wanted me to quit my job and stay home full-time to take care of his paralyzed parents."

"That sweetie is an ingrate. She believes her grandparents' lies and would rather be close to that mistress than to me, her own mother."

Chen's mother hugged Chen Xia with heartache: "He's ugly, but he's dreaming. Daughter, it's good that you're divorced. Come back and your parents will take care of you."

"We still have dozens of acres of forest, and Mom and Dad have pensions. As long as they have food to eat, you definitely won't go hungry."

Chen Xia's eldest nephew, Chen Haoran, who was visiting her after starting junior high school for the weekend, patted his chest and promised, "Auntie, I'll take care of you from now on."

Chen Xia rubbed Chen Haoran's head: "Little Stone has grown up and knows he has to take care of his aunt. Okay, from now on, Auntie will wait for Stone to grow up and let Stone take care of her in her old age."

Chen Haoran scratched his head and smiled smugly.

Although his aunt can only come back once or twice a year, she calls him every week and sends him things every month. Besides his grandparents and father, he likes his aunt the most.

Chen Xia was in charge of building the house. She claimed to have hired a professional construction team from the city, but in reality, they were all simulation robots from the space.

Although they didn't know how many years the famine would last, the better prepared they were, the longer their family of four could survive.

The more solid the foundation and overall structure of a house are, the better.

In addition to this, she also wanted to dig a basement that was moisture-proof, cold-proof, and heat-proof, so that they would have a place to hide if it got too hot during the dry season.

The house was built very quickly, and all the building materials were of the highest quality, especially the waterproof, moisture-proof, heat-insulating materials, which were purchased directly from the system's online store.

Construction continued day and night, and in just two months, a two-story building, as sturdy as a fortress, was completed.

The walls were also thickened and raised, which surprised the surrounding elderly neighbors. When Chen Xia explained that it was to prevent wild animals from the surrounding woods from running down, they readily agreed.

The conversion of farmland to forest and the protection of forests have been very effective in recent years, and wild animals often come down to the forest.

Wild boars and the like are now protected animals, and hunting them is prohibited. They've become a plague, not only destroying crops but also making people want to avoid them.

All they could do was raise the fence to prevent them from entering the yard.

Chen Xiajian's house has double-layered walls, and the insulation and cold-proofing materials used are the best.

During the interior decoration, they even applied three layers of insulation cotton. Seeing how seriously Chen Xia was taking it, Chen's parents also became nervous.

Taking advantage of the cheap coal and charcoal, Chen's father gradually stockpiled dozens of tons. He also bought a lot of durable firewood, and with what Chen Xia had prepared and what could be replenished in the space at any time, it was enough for them to use for several years.

Chen Xia also had a robot install solar panels on the roof and a deep well dug in the kitchen, so that it can serve as a backup in the future when water or power is interrupted.

Chen Xia had only focused on harvesting grains and other fruits and vegetables while abroad, neglecting to buy seasonings, instant noodles, various snacks, milk, sun protection clothing, warm clothes, hygiene products, and various seeds.

Ling Yi made this a special trip abroad for the second time. After receiving the package, she even had a humanoid robot deliver several truckloads to Chen Xia.

Chen Xia put all the items with long shelf lives into the warehouse, and those that needed to be kept fresh into the specially built cold storage room in the basement.

The two courtyards together cover seven or eight acres of open space. Mr. and Mrs. Chen can't stay idle; they grow various vegetables in the front yard and potatoes and sweet potatoes in the back yard.

While watering the vegetables, Chen Xia sprinkled some diluted spiritual spring water. A few days later, the vegetables looked even more vibrant.

After entering August, the sun became increasingly scorching, with temperatures often exceeding forty degrees Celsius. Body surface temperatures were even higher, which is quite rare in forest areas.

To prevent the trees from catching fire due to excessive dryness, Chen Xia had Ling Yi bring rain to the forest at night.

Chen Xia's family moved into their new house. The insulation was excellent, and even with just the fan on, the room wasn't unbearably hot.

Chen Xia installed underfloor heating and central air conditioning in her new house. Fearing her parents might suffer from heatstroke, she also put up cooling talismans in every room.

Chen Xia's family is living happily together. Every Friday afternoon at 3:30, Chen Xia goes to the county to pick up his nephew Xiao Shitou from school, and then takes him back to school before 5 pm on Sunday afternoon.

Because of severe population loss, the town's only middle school closed down long ago. Students from the town now either go to the county or to the neighboring town for schooling.

The journey is about the same, and everyone is used to sending their children to school in the county.

Before Chen Xia came back, Xiao Shitou would take the bus by himself.

Now that his aunt Chen Xia is picking him up and dropping him off, Xiao Shitou is especially happy.

Proudly introducing her to others, she said, "My aunt came to pick me up. That's my aunt, isn't she beautiful? My aunt is so gentle, just like my mother."

Little Stone was well-educated by his parents, even though his mother remarried after his father died in the army and never came back to see him.

But Little Stone never resented her. He always remembered what his grandfather had said: his father sacrificed himself to protect the interests of the country.

My father is a great hero, but he wasn't a good father. My mother has the right to pursue her own happiness.

He has grandparents who love him, and although his mother left him, she used to love him. It's just that she has a new family now and it's not appropriate for her to contact him again.
