Chapter 1 I Became a Starving Ghost
Li Yiyi, who had a huge pain in her forehead, felt like her head was about to explode. The noise and crying in her ears made the pain even worse.
At this moment, the word "mom" came into her ears. What mom? She is not even married yet, so how could she have a child!
She clearly remembered that when the end of the world came, she put the supermarket downstairs into her space. She didn't know if it was because she put it away too quickly or what, but her eyes went dark and she lost consciousness.
Despite the severe headache, she forced her eyelids open as if they weighed a thousand pounds. What she saw was a skinny and dirty little girl pulling her arm, crying and calling for her mother.
She looked around again. It was a house made of mud bricks with a lot of spider silk hanging around it. She had lived in a cement house since she was a child and had never seen such a house before.
Before she could open her mouth to say anything, many memories that did not belong to her suddenly floated into her mind.
It was not until the pain in her head stopped that she realized that she had traveled back to the 1970s and was reborn as a lazy and greedy woman.
And this woman starved to death because of her laziness.
Thinking about how she, a young girl, had become a married woman and a mother of two children, Li Yiyi suddenly felt her head hurt even more.
However, thinking of the miserable state of the world at the end of the world, she felt that being reborn here now was like saving her life.
At this time, Li Yiyi realized that there was something stuffed in her mouth. She spit it out and found that it was a piece of dried sweet potato.
The original body died of starvation, so it is impossible that the original body stuffed the piece of dried sweet potato into its mouth by itself, otherwise it would not have starved to death.
"You stuffed this into my mouth?" She quickly fixed her eyes on the little girl standing beside the bed.
"Give it to mom, so she can get better soon." Jiang Yueyue smiled at her innocently.
Obviously these words were not directed at her, but Li Yiyi, who had been an orphan since childhood, suddenly felt warm in her heart. She was actually moved by the words of a child.
She glanced at the little girl standing next to her, who was her original body's eldest daughter. Standing next to her was her original body's youngest son, who were only five and three years old respectively.
Looking at the innocent eyes they were looking at her with, Li Yiyi felt a little sad. They didn't know yet that their biological mother had starved to death, and the person sitting in front of them was already another soul.
No one understands the feeling of having no family members better than her.
As for the father of the two children, Li Yiyi found out from her original body's memory that this man had not returned home for three years, which was almost the same as not having him.
Just then, one of the two children's stomach growled twice.
The brother and sister immediately lowered their heads in embarrassment.
Out of sympathy, Li Yiyi was slowly accepting the two of them in her heart.
Seeing them lower their heads in embarrassment, she smiled gently, "Are you hungry? I am hungry too. I will go cook something for you."
She got up and went to the kitchen, feeling dizzy and in danger of falling down at any time. She opened the rice jar and saw that it was empty, without a single grain of rice.
Li Yiyi searched her mind and finally found some clues from her original body's memory.
The original body's laziness and gluttony were inherited from her parents. After the heroine blackmailed the hero into marrying her, she had been using the salary sent back by the hero to support her parents. In addition, she herself was lazy, so there was really not a penny left for this family.
After checking the memories in her mind, Li Yiyi really wanted to curse her original body as a fool.
At this moment, she suddenly thought of the supermarket she installed before the end of the world, and she didn’t know whether this space had followed her.
She quickly closed her eyes and relaxed her whole body. When she opened her eyes again, the entrance of the supermarket downstairs came into her sight.
Looking at this large supermarket, Li Yiyi was so happy that she almost jumped up. With this magic weapon, would she still be afraid of starving to death in that era?
She went to the rice side of the supermarket and first bought five kilograms of Thai fragrant rice, a Jinhua ham, and some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
When she was about to go out with these things, the alarm at the supermarket exit suddenly sounded, as if there was an invisible wall blocking her from going out.
Li Yiyi's ears were almost deafened by the alarm sound. She quickly ran back into the supermarket and the sound stopped.
Just when she was at a loss, she suddenly saw the self-service checkout machine next to her, and the balance showed zero.
After hesitating for a moment, she decided to pick up the items in her hand and scan the code. Then she saw the price displayed on the machine.
When she finished scanning everything, the total price appeared on it, and then a conversion rate appeared below the price, showing 1:1000.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Yiyi remembered the fifty cents in her original pocket, so she tried to stuff it into one of the entrances of the machine.
The next second, a miracle happened. The card that had just shown a zero balance now had a big amount of 500 written on it.
She seemed to understand something, so she quickly clicked the checkout button, and then she saw that the balance had suddenly decreased by three hundred and fifty yuan.
When she carried these things out again, the alarm sounded gone, and the invisible wall also disappeared, so she could walk out of here unhindered.
Now she finally understood that the things in this space were not free, but had to be paid for just like in later generations, except that one dollar in this era could be exchanged for one thousand dollars for the use of the space.
The space is a bit of a rip-off, but when she thinks about the fact that this supermarket has everything, and as long as she works hard to make money in this era, with the exchange rate in this space, the things here are almost free.
When she came out of the space and was about to cook in the pot, she was suddenly startled by the scene in front of her.
The pot in this house is too dirty. I don’t know what’s cooked in it, and mold has grown on it.
And the dust on the pot lid can be used to paint the walls.
Feeling her almost starving stomach, she had to grit her teeth and wash it clean.
After finally cleaning the pot and rice and cutting the ham into the pot, she soon faced another problem: how to make a fire.
She was used to using natural gas, so how could she burn wood? She saw the fire in the stove was clearly lit, but as soon as she put the wood in, the fire went out again.
At the same time, in the fields of Jiangjia Village, a large group of women gathered together to do farm work.
At this time, someone looked in front of the village and suddenly shouted, "Mrs. Jiang, look quickly, that smoke is coming out of your youngest son's house, isn't it? No, isn't your daughter-in-law a lazy person? She has been married to your Jiang family for six years and has never cooked a fire. Why is there so much smoke coming out of your house suddenly? Is she burning the house?"
When the old lady called Old Mrs. Jiang heard what the woman in the field next door said, she immediately stopped what she was doing, her face changed drastically and she ran towards the direction of the smoke.
Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang Dasao and Mrs. Jiang Ersao also put down their work and ran over together.
When the three of them, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, hurried over, they saw that the youngest son's yard was full of smoke.
"Mom, is the house really on fire?" Mrs. Jiang asked Jiang's mother, looking at her dazed mother with a worried look on her face.
Mother Jiang ran in quickly, so fast that her two daughters-in-law couldn't stop her.
Jiang's mother ran in and saw a granddaughter and grandson at the kitchen door.
"Grandma." Jiang Yueyue and Jiang Xiaobao shouted in unison to Jiang's mother who was running towards them.
Mother Jiang squatted down and looked at the two of them from left to right for a long time, "Are you okay?"
The two children shook their heads.
Jiang Xiaobao pointed to the kitchen and said to her happily, "Grandma, Mom made delicious food."
Jiang Xiaobao, who is already three years old, doesn't talk much, but when he speaks he speaks very fluently.
When Jiang's mother heard her grandson's words, she looked towards the kitchen with a surprised expression.
At this moment, a choking cough came from the kitchen, and then Jiang's mother saw a figure running out of the kitchen.
At this time, Li Yiyi's eyes were red from the thick smoke inside, as if she had just cried.
After coughing several times, Li Yiyi looked up and found that there were three more people in the yard.
"You..." She did not call for help immediately, but went through her original body's memories in her mind. Only then did she realize that the three of them were her original body's two sisters-in-law and mother-in-law.
"It's mom and my two sisters-in-law. Why are you here? Come in and sit down." After finding out their identities, Li Yiyi greeted the three of them with a smile.
When Jiang's mother and the other two saw her warm smile, they all had a look of surprise in their eyes.
