My aunt, the wronged daughter, is trying to rewrite her life (Part 3). Mwah! (a sound of affection)

Chen Xia's morning classes were taken by the math teacher, so she didn't have any classes today. At noon, Song Yuan ate at his workplace and Tian Tian ate at kindergarten, respectively.

Chen Xia was the only one who came home at noon, so she took advantage of the fact that neither her father nor her son were home to clean the house.

The old, dilapidated apartment they live in was a company-subsidized housing unit that the in-laws purchased at an internal price years ago. They renovated it before their marriage.

When they got married, housing prices in the city had already risen very high. You couldn't even dream of buying a house in the city without a few million yuan.

Chen Xia's father-in-law is a veteran police officer at a local police station, and her mother-in-law used to work at a grain depot, but she has been staying at home since she was laid off.

Given their circumstances, they couldn't afford a new house, but the elderly couple were very sincere. They spent a lot of money renovating their old, dilapidated apartment, using only the best materials.

When the original owner of this body and Song Yuan first started working, their salaries were much lower than they are now. In addition, the original owner had to pay off student loans, so when they got married, they only had a simple wedding ceremony.

At the time, the original owner's parents wanted to ask for a large dowry, just like her two older sisters. The original owner told her parents directly that if they wanted a dowry, they would pay off her student loans.

Her parents calculated that it wasn't worthwhile, so they reluctantly gave up on demanding a high bride price.

Because it had been renovated before, this house, although it looks quite run-down from the outside, is actually quite comfortable to live in.

Most importantly, this area is in the city center, close to her workplace. It only takes her seven minutes to get to school by electric scooter.

Sweetie attends her elementary school, and her middle school is even closer, only a five-minute walk away. It's definitely a school district property; the only downsides are that the building is a bit old and the apartment is a bit small.

Because it's a company-provided housing unit, most of the residents in the community are police officers, so the sense of security is absolutely top-notch.

As everyone knows, once you have kids, the house never stays tidy. The moment things started to get messy, the original owner would immediately be tidying up after the child.

Later, I became a Buddhist, and I was content as long as I could keep the visible parts of my home clean.

With a single cleaning talisman, the living room was instantly spotless, and all the rooms, especially the kitchen, were thoroughly cleaned.

Then, he stuffed all the clothes he had accumulated in the closet that he could no longer wear but couldn't bear to throw away, the clutter piled up in the corner of the balcony, and some old small appliances into a big black bag and carried it downstairs to the big trash can.

After tidying up, the whole house looked much cleaner. I found a bunch of storage boxes in the storage room that could be assembled into storage cabinets.

I sorted and packed the sweet toys into storage boxes, arranging them to resemble a small storage cabinet. I threw away the rug in front of the living room sofa and replaced it with a better quality one I had previously stocked up on.

She also found two cute storage racks and placed them next to the storage cabinet, putting all her dolls and large toys on the racks.

They then used a dust-cleaning talisman to give the dolls a second cleaning and disinfection.

I tossed a cleaning talisman into the shoe rack and the wardrobe, and the shoes that I hadn't had time to clean recently became clean immediately.

Even Song Yuan's shoes, which often sweated and even had a faint odor after being washed, were spotless.

After thoroughly cleaning the house, Chen Xia stuck a dust-removing talisman on herself. From head to toe, even the dandruff was cleaned away.

After finishing my work, I went to the bathroom to take a shower and stood in front of the full-length mirror, pinching the "spare tire" around my stomach.

After giving birth to her daughter, the original owner gained weight, reaching a height of 1.6 meters and a weight of over 150 kilograms.

Looking at her chubby reflection in the mirror, Chen Xia felt she had to lose weight as soon as possible. Not only did she need to lose weight, but Song Yuan's potbelly also needed to be reduced quickly.

Chen Xia carefully selected and bought a rowing machine from the system store that has auxiliary functions for weight loss and body shaping, is suitable for heavy people, and does not hurt the knees.

The system's online store never engages in deceptive practices; if it claims to have auxiliary effects, it truly does. With this rowing machine, you can see immediate results of losing 1-2 pounds after just half an hour of exercise.

Chen Xia placed the rowing machine on the cleaned balcony, laying a non-slip mat underneath. Next to it, she also placed a small beanbag chair and a small coffee table.

This way, while she's exercising, Tian Tian can play next to her. This way, she can interact with her daughter without interfering with her workout.

Soundproofing is a major problem in old, dilapidated houses, especially since they live on the third floor. The reason they put carpets in the living room and bedroom is to prevent their daughter's footsteps from disturbing the downstairs neighbors.

Chen Xia covered all the walls, floors, and ceilings with wall-strengthening and sound-insulating talismans, completely solving the problem.

Once I have the money, the first thing I'll do is replace this old, run-down apartment. Sweetie's room is too small, and it faces due west, so it doesn't get any sun in the morning and gets scorching hot in the afternoon. Especially in the summer, it's impossible to get in without air conditioning.

After finishing my work, I checked the time and it was almost 2 o'clock. I rode my electric scooter at breakneck speed and arrived at school at exactly 2:05. I checked in right on time by scanning my face.

Chen Xia hummed a little tune as she went upstairs. The office was quiet. Several colleagues who hadn't gone home had unfolded their folding beds and were fast asleep.

Chen Xia tiptoed to her desk, looked at the slightly messy table, and decided that she would tidy it up properly once her colleagues woke up.

As soon as I sat down, I heard a beep in my mind, and the mini-system appeared.

Chen Xia breathed a sigh of relief and communicated with 996 in her mind: "Tongtong, what's wrong with you? I couldn't contact you after I entered this small world. I thought you had disappeared."

The little system, tugging at the Shennong system, told Chen Xia with a grin, "I took the Shennong system to deal with its loss of contact, and we've been busy until now to finally resolve it."

Previously, the Shennong system didn't want to stick with us. We begged the boss for a long time, and finally he agreed to let us have the Shennong system as his subordinate.

The boss said that if you bind to Shennong, you'll lose the daily sign-in rewards when entering the small world. But the Shennong system has been upgraded, and now it has many side quests. All things considered, it's actually much more useful than the sign-in rewards.

Chen Xia nodded. She and the little system had considered this possibility before. The sign-in rewards were good, but the little system wanted a follower, so of course she had to satisfy it. In the end, she was the one who benefited.

After discussing with the smaller system, the side quest that Shennong System has started this time is the vending machine system.

The items sold in this vending machine are from a parallel world, whose technology is fifty to one hundred years more advanced than that of this current world.

To put it simply, it's about becoming a cross-border middleman, using the cross-border trading function built into the Shennong system to buy and trade items from other worlds at low prices and then sell them to this world at high prices.

The profits earned are split 50/50 between the Shennong System and Chen Xia, with the smaller system taking 20% ​​of Shennong System's share.

Chen Xia thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll also give the little system 20%, and this time you'll make the biggest profit."

996 was so happy he almost jumped up: "Xiaxia, don't worry, I will transfer your share of the earnings to your bank card in a reasonable way."

"You open a stock trading account, and that way I can easily transfer my profits to you through the stock market, allowing you to legally hold them without anyone noticing."

Buying a cross-border vending machine requires points, and Chen Xia had points, so he let the two of them watch over the purchase.

Then these vending machines were delivered to the front of the security department's office building.

It was fine that Chen Xia simply washed his hands of the reins, but the two commanders thought it over and decided to go big, investing in a total of six vending machines, one for each of the five military regions and the central command.

In broad daylight, a strange vending machine suddenly appeared, making the hairs on the heads of the group of leaders stand on end.

What's most alarming is that the vending machine actually cracked open and started speaking: "Dear leaders of Mercury, I am Interstellar Vending Machine No. 1 (2-5)."

Don't worry, I mean no harm. The host I just bound to is a Chinese man from Mercury. He entrusted me to make a deal with you.

Please allow me to introduce my functions. All the items I sell come from Level 2 and Level 3 interstellar civilizations.

Their technology is generally hundreds of years ahead of yours, but we only sell items that are fifty to one hundred years ahead of Mercury's technology.

I will refresh the product listings periodically, which could be every few months or even a year. I can list five items at a time, and the quantity of each item varies (depending on the purchase quantity).

Payment methods include direct bank transfer or cash top-up.

The purchase method is to first recharge and get a card, and then you can buy it after the items are listed tomorrow.

Opening hours are random, but I will notify you one day in advance. We apologize for the limited staff at the moment!

This business operates on a small scale and does not offer credit. If you need to purchase anything, please top up your account or get a card as soon as possible!

After it finished speaking, it stood there obediently, quietly waiting for the items to be put on the shelves tomorrow. Although this interstellar vending machine seemed a bit unreliable, what if it was real?

After discussion, the leaders unanimously agreed to top up the account first and see how things go tomorrow.

Then the smaller system received a prepayment of five million.

After receiving the advance payment, 996 and Shennong began searching for tradable objects in the level two and level three star-level civilization mini-worlds.

They quickly made contact with a legion commander of the Galactic Alliance. This legion commander could provide them with many weapons and mechanical equipment that were considered antiques.

What they need in return is pure water, fruits, vegetables, green plants, and various foods.

The two small systems happily made a deal with him, exchanging it for a massive amount of weapons and various high-tech equipment that Chen Xia considered to be outdated.

At eight o'clock the next day, the lights on the interstellar vending machine came on, and five kinds of products appeared inside.

Folding storage box: Matchbox size, with an interior space of five meters in length, width, and height, roughly equivalent to the capacity of a classroom. Quantity: 9999, Price: 1 million.

Nanomedical Pod (Military Version): Heals various external injuries in ten minutes, with added gene repair function. Quantity: 999, Price: 1 million.

Electromagnetic rifle, using 8mm depleted uranium ammunition, with a range of 1500 meters. Quantity: 999, Price: 1 million.

Bionic mimicry aircraft: temperature-controlled, with excellent defensive capabilities, capable of changing shape, and a maximum flight speed of Mach 20. Quantity: 999, Price: 10 million.

Powered Combat Suit: A 2.6-meter-tall alloy exoskeleton with an internal life support system and biomimetic skeletal structure for movement assistance. Equipped with nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) protection capabilities, supporting operations in deep space or extreme environments. Quantity: 999, Price: 20 million.

The prices listed above are after tax. All taxes and fees incurred during the sale are the responsibility of the buyer. Do you agree? (Yes/No)

The leaders, who had been anxiously waiting all night, saw the price and thought it was too cheap. They figured it was just a matter of paying taxes, no problem. After clicking "yes," they waved their hands and bought all the goods.

In less than an hour, all the goods in the six interstellar vending machines were sold out. The vending machines then handed out a free gift package, and the lights went out.

The two foolish systems and a group of leaders all felt they had gotten a great deal, and happily went about their own business.

Chen Xia hadn't expected the two systems to be so capable; this cross-border middleman was really making a lot of money.

Their total income was 49.967 billion, and they earned 49.9 billion with tears in their eyes this time.

Unfortunately, for Chen Xia, this money is currently just a useless commodity; he can only look at it but not spend it.

After 996 took the Shennong system as its subordinate, both systems were upgraded by one level and now have physical forms.

This is also why they are so keen on making money; the feeling of being able to buy things for themselves is just too good.

The rowing machine couldn't be wasted, so Chen Xia dragged Song Yuan to exercise every morning and evening. At first, Song Yuan didn't take it seriously, thinking that his wife was just having a short-lived interest.

It's always the same. He's bought tons of gym equipment, but he just keeps gaining weight instead of losing it. But he, being a nagging father, only dares to mutter these complaints to himself.

Every day, she still obediently listens to Chen Xia, not only exercising but also eating light dinners and only daring to eat until she is 60% full.

After holding back for two days, he couldn't help but ask Chen Xia, "Xiaxia, do you think I've gained weight and my face isn't as pretty as before, and that I'm not as attractive to you anymore?"

Chen Xia looked surprised: "Why would you ask that? I've gained weight too, and you don't mind, so why would I mind you? You're overthinking it."

Song Yuan leaned close to her and hugged her: "I just feel like you've changed recently. You seem to be getting more and more beautiful, and your temperament has improved too. My heart is a little uneasy!"

Chen Xia tiptoed and kissed him: "What's the rush? No matter how pretty she is, she's still your wife. You know I've been practicing my posture and stretching every day on Douyin live streams lately."

The main reason I went shopping for clothes with some colleagues last time was that as soon as we entered the store, the sales assistant said that they didn't have any plus-size clothes for me.

I was so angry! Ugh, I'm going to lose weight! Once I'm thin, I'm going to go to that store and just try things on, but I won't buy anything.

Song Yuan pinched himself, barely managing to suppress a laugh. This was something his wife was really capable of doing.

The girl has been petty and vindictive since they started dating, and she loves to bring up old grievances, but there's nothing he can do about it; he just loves her proud and aloof nature.

Losing weight through exercise alone is very slow. Although she had the added benefit of using a rowing machine, Chen Xia was anxious and would occasionally take a diet pill.

She didn't forget her good friend Song Yuan either, and would occasionally drop a colorless and tasteless diet pill into his tea.

After a month, although Song Yuan couldn't maintain his daily exercise routine due to work, he still lost over ten kilograms. Chen Xia, on the other hand, saw an even more significant result, losing over twenty kilograms.

This was only after she deliberately controlled it; if she took the diet pills freely, she could lose five pounds a day. But that was too scary; Song Yuan would definitely drag her to the hospital for a checkup.

Even so, it scared Song Yuan. On his day off, he dragged Chen Xia to the hospital and ordered a whole set of meals for the two of them for a check-up.

The physical examination results were quite encouraging; both of them had almost no fatty liver, and their blood lipids, blood pressure, and blood sugar were all normal.

Song Yuan never expected that losing weight would significantly improve his health, and he has started to make time for exercise every day.

After losing weight, the biggest change for Song Yuan was that his physical fitness was better than before.

When they first got together, he was quite long-lasting, but after getting married, he gained weight and his performance in bed gradually became shorter.

He actually cared quite a bit about it, and he often drank tea made with goji berries and cistanche, but he didn't notice any effects. However, after losing weight, he felt like he was young again, with inexhaustible energy.

Compared to Song Yuan's concern about that aspect, Chen Xia's main concern was that the clothes were obviously too big and needed to be replaced entirely.

Song Yuan was alright; he wore the traffic police uniform most of the time, and the clothes were a bit baggy, so they were loose and comfortable for him.

But Chen Xia cared. She had gradually discarded most of the original owner's clothes. Most of them were things she had found in her spatial storage.

When there was a cashback system, she used to spend money like water. A single trip to a luxury store could easily cost her millions.

With a nominal monthly salary of four thousand yuan, she doesn't dare to go shopping in big malls at all. She goes into the more affordable clothing stores, and even a simple shirt costs several hundred or over a thousand yuan.

This is infuriating! How come it's so hard to earn money, and it feels like it's lost its value when I spend it? It's from a brand I've never even heard of, and the quality is just so-so, so how can it be so expensive?
