The wronged aunt tries to rewrite her life - Part 1 (First update, muah!)

After returning to the system space and erasing her emotional memories, Chen Xia lay down on the soft bed and took a nap. When she woke up again, she had entered a new small world.

This is a modern world. The original owner, Chen Xia, is thirty years old, married with a daughter. Her husband, Song Yuan, is a traffic policeman. Their daughter, Song Tiantian, is in her last year of kindergarten.

The original owner studied at a teachers' college and was assigned to teach art at Mingde Elementary School in X City after graduation.

The original owner, Chen Xia, was just an ordinary person in Yunyun's life, living a very ordinary life. She had a harmonious marriage and a lovely and sensible daughter.

The couple's combined salary in this fourth-tier city, though not high, is enough to support their family.

If the original owner's brother and sister-in-law hadn't been in the car accident, and if they hadn't adopted that ungrateful nephew and niece, her daughter, Tian Tian, ​​would have grown up in the love and care of her parents.

She would work hard to get into her dream university and have a bright future, but all of this came to an abrupt end when Tian Tian was six years old.

The original owner's older brother, Chen Shan, ran a restaurant in his hometown. One morning, while driving his wife, Zhao Qing, to the county market to buy groceries, they were hit by a large truck and both died on the spot.

After reviewing the surveillance footage from the section of road where the accident occurred, the traffic police determined that the accident was caused by Chen Shan running a red light and that he bore primary responsibility.

In the end, the compensation was meager, and both husband and wife died, leaving the question of what to do with their two children.

The original owner's parents had both passed away. Zhao Qing's parents were old and lived in the homes of her three older brothers in turns. They were unable to take care of their grandchildren.

The original owner's two older sisters also felt very conflicted. In the end, after discussing it with her husband Song Yuan, the kind-hearted Chen Xia adopted her nephews Chen Huai'an and Chen Xueying.

Chen Huai'an and Chen Xueying are twins, a boy and a girl, who inherited the best features of their parents and are both sweet-talking.

When they first arrived at the original owner's house, they were very well-behaved. They were a few years older than Song Tiantian and treated her, their little cousin, very well. Tiantian also liked her cousins ​​very much.

The original owner felt he had treated them well, and tried his best to give them everything that his own daughter had.

Even biological children are favored, let alone these two who are just her nephews and nieces, while Tian Tian is her precious daughter.

But Chen Huai'an and Chen Xueying didn't think that way. Under the brainwashing of their maternal grandparents, they felt that since their aunt had taken the compensation money that their parents had risked their lives for, she should take on the responsibility of being their parents.

They felt that the original owner's love and care for them was a matter of course, and that the original owner's hugs and coaxing of his daughter Tian Tian were blatant favoritism.

Therefore, she harbored resentment towards her younger cousin, Song Tiantian, feeling that if it weren't for her, the original owner would have treated them like her own children.

During the summer vacation, because the two children missed their parents, the original owner took them and Tian Tian back to her hometown for a while.

The two of them ran around the village with Tian Tian. The original owner felt that the village was relatively safe, and he had told the children not to go to the river, so he didn't stop them.

This oversight caused her to regret it for the rest of her life. That noon, after lunch, the three children ran out to play. The original owner dug up the ground in the backyard, intending to plant some vegetables to eat.

Not long after, the two of them rushed back in a panic and told the original owner that Tian Tian had disobeyed her parents and insisted on going to play by the river, and ended up falling in.

The original owner felt as if struck by lightning and stumbled to the riverbank. Sweetie was rescued by passing villagers, but the child had already stopped breathing.

The original owner was devastated and blamed herself for her daughter's accident. For years afterward, she was unable to escape her grief.

Unable to forgive himself for his negligence, the original owner developed depression and, a few years later, committed suicide by drowning himself in the river at the place where his daughter had the accident.

After dying, she became a ghost and stayed in the village for many years. By chance, she learned from her niece, who had been admitted to university, that her daughter's death was not an accident, but that the two siblings had deliberately lured her to play by the river.

They watched helplessly as Tian Tian slipped into the river, struggled for help, and slowly sank to the bottom. Only when she stopped moving did they begin to feign cries for help.

Upon hearing this news, the original owner rushed over to confront her, wanting to ask why she had harmed her own cousin and what she, as the aunt, had done to wrong them.

Unfortunately, in her ghostly state, she couldn't even touch Chen Xueying's sleeve. The original owner was unwilling to accept it; her momentary kindness had harmed her own child.

She made a deal with the Quick Transmigration Bureau in exchange for all her merits, asking the mission takers to help her rewrite her life so that her daughter could have a happy life.

As for the ungrateful brother and sister, their fate will be no better if the couple doesn't adopt them, depending on the mission taker's mood.

Chen Xia arrived just after the funerals of the original owner's brother and sister-in-law had been held, and the next day a group of relatives would sit down to discuss the fate of Chen Huai'an and Chen Xueying.

Because Chen Shan was responsible for the car accident, the truck driver only paid a symbolic tens of thousands of yuan as humanitarian compensation.

Other relatives, including Chen Huai'an and Chen Xueying's three maternal uncles, and the original owner's two older sisters, were unwilling to adopt them.

In fact, their concerns are valid. In his previous life, the original owner suffered because he was too kind and inexperienced.

Little do they know that it's only right to raise adopted children well. If they don't, people will say that since they're not their own children, they don't care about them.

As for the tens of thousands in compensation, with the current level of financial stability, what can it even cover? Let alone supporting them through high school or university, it would be difficult to even finish elementary school.

The reason Song Yuan agreed to let the original owner adopt the two children in his previous life was firstly because he didn't want to put his wife in a difficult position.

Secondly, he was an only child, and after his parents passed away, he had no relatives left. He thought that he and his wife would only have their daughter as their child for the rest of their lives.

They feared their daughter would end up like them, with no one to help her when she grew up. Chen Huai'an and Chen Xueying were also good at pretending to be obedient.

He thought that his daughter would have older brothers and sisters to protect her in the future, and that even when he and his wife got old, his daughter would have someone to discuss things with, so he agreed to adopt them.

Little did they know that they had let a wolf into their house, which led to their daughter's death, and their wife also passed away a few years later.

Song Yuan had a good relationship with his wife and was still grieving the loss of his wife and daughter. He did not remarry and raised Chen Huai'an and Chen Xueying as his own children.

Unfortunately, these two are ungrateful wretches. Song Yuan raised them, and after they achieved success, they not only showed no gratitude but also turned around and blamed him.

Various smear campaigns have been launched against Song Yuan, claiming that he embezzled their parents' compensation money and even spreading rumors that Song Yuan had harbored wicked intentions towards the young Chen Xueying.

Song Yuan was so enraged by these rumors that he suffered a stroke and soon passed away. How could the original owner not hate all of this?

The fact that she managed to say whether or not to seek revenge was up to the mission taker's whim, instead of letting the mission taker kill them outright, was already an act of mercy for her deceased brother and sister-in-law, which is why she didn't go so far as to exterminate them.

Chen Xia felt that this mission world was like a vacation. As long as she didn't adopt those two ungrateful wretches, it was good to add some twists and turns to their lives. She could also raise her daughter well and live her own life.

However, with their combined salaries, it would be difficult for them to provide a comfortable upbringing for their daughter.

She turned her head and looked at the mountain of gold and silver jewelry in her warehouse, none of which she could afford with her current salary.

Forget it, let's focus on making money first. First, let's improve our accommodations.

I don't know where the original owner got the courage. She had a monthly salary of 4,000 yuan, lived in a two-bedroom apartment, and rode an electric scooter to work. Yet she had the courage to adopt two money-devouring beasts.

Song Yuan's salary was 500 yuan less than hers, only 3,500 yuan a month, but fortunately he could still get several thousand yuan in subsidies each month. He also had performance bonuses and year-end bonuses.

All told, the couple's combined monthly income is over ten thousand.

In this small fourth-tier city, with a dilapidated old apartment left to Song Yuan by his parents, he didn't need to rent or pay a mortgage, so he could manage a decent life.

But raising children is so expensive these days. Her daughter, Tiantian, has loved dancing and drawing since she was little.

She needs to figure out a second career, because if her daughter wants to study art in the future, it will cost a lot of money.

Well, as teachers, they strictly investigate paid tutoring classes. Of course, even if they didn't strictly investigate, she wouldn't want to run a class, as she needs to spend Saturdays and Sundays with her child.

The original owner minored in fine arts in college, so she could pick up her old profession again. Although her drawing skills were mediocre, she was more than capable of teaching elementary school students.

Anyway, she had been boasting to Song Yuan about her talent, saying that if she hadn't listened to her parents and mistakenly applied to a teachers' college, she would probably be an excellent designer by now.

Since you have talent, you should be able to find a part-time job online, right?

Just as I was lost in thought, my phone alarm suddenly went off.

Chen Xia jumped up, stuffed her phone into her pocket, grabbed the key to her electric scooter, ran downstairs, and rode the scooter to pick up her daughter, Tian Tian, ​​from school.

The kindergarten that Tian Tian attends is right next to the elementary school where she works, and she is always picked up directly from school after class. Today, she changed her schedule and went back to her hometown to discuss some matters.

After speeding all the way to the kindergarten gate, Chen Xia parked her electric scooter to the side, took out the pick-up and drop-off sign from her pocket, and went to line up at the gate.

Soon, the children from Class 3 came out in a line. When Tian Tian saw Chen Xia, she immediately smiled broadly, and Chen Xia gave her a heart shape with her hands.

Once the children had all lined up and followed the teacher to the main gate, one by one, the parents handed the pick-up and drop-off tags to the teachers, who then handed the children over according to the tags.

When it was Chen Xia's turn, she had just handed the pick-up and drop-off card to the teacher when Tian Tian hugged her leg and said, "Mommy, I missed you so much!"

Chen Xia picked her up and kissed her twice: "Mommy misses Tiantian too. Tell Mommy what you learned at kindergarten today?"

Sweetie chattered on and on to Chen Xia about what she had learned that day.

The mother and daughter walked and talked. When they got to the electric scooter, Tian Tian saw a stall selling fried sausages and swallowed hard. "Mom, do you want to eat sausages? Tian Tian will treat you."

Chen Xia teased her, "Where did you get the money to treat Mom to grilled sausages? You wanted to eat them yourself, didn't you?"

Sweetie pulled a red bill from her pocket: "My deskmate today is Little Fatty, and he gave me this money. I said I didn't want it, but he insisted. He gave it to many other people too. Mom, he's so rich!"

Chen Xia's expression changed, and she quickly picked up Tian Tian and headed towards the kindergarten, kissing her on the way.

"Sweetie's mom needs to talk to the teacher about something. You were so great today. Mom will buy you some grilled sausages later."

We need to return Xiaopang's money to him. Could you talk to the teacher about who Xiaopang gave the money to, okay?

Upon hearing Chen Xia praise her, Tian Tian puffed out her little chest: "Tian Tian is very smart. I saw who Little Fatty gave money to, um, Tingting, Da Bai, Lele..."

Chen Xia, holding Tian Tian, ​​told the security guard and went straight into the kindergarten.

She lived in the school next door, and the security guards on their way to and from get off work all knew her. They didn't stop her and let her in directly.

Chen Xia went to the Sweetie Class classroom, explained what had happened, and then handed the money to the kindergarten teacher.

The homeroom teacher, Ms. Guo, was stunned. How could she have missed it right under her nose?

Only after asking did I find out that the children had secretly divided the prize while playing together, hiding from the teacher.

Children are smart; they know that if the teacher finds out about the money, it will definitely be confiscated.

The little guy kept his mouth shut, and the chubby boy even threatened the children that if anyone told the teacher about this, he would get the money back.

Even though they are just kindergarten children, they know that money can buy snacks and toys.

The rest is none of Chen Xia and her daughter's business. There are security cameras in the classroom; a quick check will show everything clearly.

The most urgent task now is to contact Xiaopang's parents and explain the situation.

Also, send a message in the class group chat so parents can check if their child has any money in their pockets. If so, keep it safe and hand it in to the kindergarten tomorrow.

Little Fatty's mother was stunned when she received the call and quickly rummaged through her bag.

She withdrew two thousand yuan the day before yesterday to send to her eldest daughter, who is in high school and lives at the dormitory, as living expenses.

Now there are none left, and Little Fatty's mother is furious.

After thanking the teacher and hanging up the phone, she pulled out a feather duster, ready to teach that rich kid who was throwing money around a lesson.

The chubby boy happily pulled his father's hand and entered the house. When he saw his mother glaring at him, he grinned and went over to offer her some candy.

Little Fatty's mom asked his dad, "Did you see the 2,000 yuan I put in my bag and withdrew the day before yesterday?"

Little Fatty's dad was completely confused: "No, did you put it in the wrong place? It's impossible for it to be lost at home. Look carefully."

Little Fatty's mom grabbed him and said, "You'll have to ask your good son."

After saying that, he picked up a feather duster and gave Little Fatty a good beating on the butt.

The little fat boy screamed and howled as he was beaten. His father was completely bewildered, but he knew that his wife always spoiled their youngest son. If he hadn't made a serious mistake, she definitely wouldn't have hit him.

Little Fatty's mom, tired from hitting him, glared at him and said, "You just casually give away the little bit of money your dad works so hard for. You're so generous!"

Little Fatty's mom told Little Fatty's dad what happened, and then Little Fatty started crying loudly again.

Chen Xia bought some grilled sausages with Tian Tian in her arms, and the mother and daughter ate them before riding their electric bike home.

To be honest, street food stalls are unhygienic, but the kids love them.

Chen Xia decided to go back and give her little baby a health-boosting pill. She and her husband, Song Yuan, also needed to take good care of themselves.

One suffers from migraines and neurasthenia, the other has a beer belly at a young age. Only their faces are somewhat attractive; at 1.85 meters tall, they'd still be good-looking even if they were a little overweight.

Otherwise, Chen Xia really should consider changing... Forgive me, forgive me, she came here to do a mission, not to enjoy herself.

After returning home, Chen Xia poured half a cup of warm water for Xiaotian, adding a little bit of spiritual spring water.

Sweetie was indeed thirsty after eating the grilled sausage, and she gulped down the drink from the cup with the straw in no time.

Chen Xia told her to sit on the carpet next to the sofa and arrange building blocks while she went to the kitchen to cook.

The refrigerator was almost empty. Chen Xia poked her head out of the kitchen, looked at Tian Tian sitting on the carpet playing with building blocks, and took out seasonal vegetables, eggs, beef, chicken breast and a piece of pork belly from the space warehouse and put them into the refrigerator.

Song Yuan is a very carefree person, and the original owner of this body handled all the household affairs. He had no idea what was in the refrigerator.

Chen Xia cooked yam and sweet potato porridge, stir-fried tomatoes and eggs, and stir-fried beef with celery. She also took a few steamed buns from her space warehouse.

Just as he put the food on the table, Song Yuan returned. Seeing Chen Xia coming out of the kitchen, he leaned over and kissed her.

"Thank you for your hard work, my dear wife!"

Sweetie dropped her toy and ran over to kiss Chen Xia: "Thank you for your hard work, Mom!"

The family of three enjoyed a happy dinner together. Sweetie used her little spoon to scoop out the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and while eating, she couldn't help but praise, "Mom's scrambled eggs with tomatoes are so delicious today!"

"This tomato is sweet and sour, Mom. Shall we use it to make scrambled eggs again tomorrow?"

Chen Xia wiped her mouth: "Okay, I'll make scrambled eggs with tomatoes for Tian Tian again tomorrow."

Randomly, he said to Song Yuan, "On my way back, I saw an old farmer selling some pretty good tomatoes, so I bought a lot."

I didn't expect them to taste so much better than the greenhouse-grown tomatoes I used to buy.

Song Yuan was very sweet-talking: "My wife has a discerning eye. These homegrown vegetables are indeed tastier than those out-of-season vegetables grown in greenhouses."

Hey, honey. How did things go when we went back to our hometown today to discuss the matter of my brother and sister in Huai'an? Who will take care of them?

Chen Xia shook her head: "We haven't reached a conclusion yet, and even their maternal grandparents are unwilling to take care of them."

Thinking about it carefully, what I told you a couple of days ago—that if no one else would take care of them, it would be really inappropriate for us to do so.

Let's not even talk about whether our combined salaries can support three children.

The aftermath alone is very troublesome, and I think that's why my eldest and second eldest sisters were unwilling to raise it.

I heard from people that my sister-in-law's parents have a lot of problems. Adopting a nephew or niece sounds simple, but it's actually quite difficult.

Look, if we raise the children well, that's only right, since I'm their aunt.

But if we don't raise the children well, relatives and neighbors will gossip. They'll think it's mostly because we didn't care and didn't raise them as our own children.

I don't want to make our Tiantian suffer because of other people's children, even if they are my brother's children, my own nephews and nieces.

My brother and sister-in-law spoiled these two kids when they were alive. Don't be fooled by their well-behaved behavior; they're actually quite cunning.

If we were to take them in and raise them, treating all three of them equally, it would be unfair to our daughter, Tian Tian.

If we favor Tian Tian, ​​the two children will definitely feel uncomfortable, and we'll be caught in the middle.

Children can be jealous too. I've heard at school that some children beat their younger siblings because they're jealous that their parents are having a second child.

If even biological siblings are like this, let alone Huai'an and Xueying who didn't grow up with our Tiantian, our previous considerations were definitely not wise enough.
