"..." Wen Xi woke up with a splitting headache and couldn't help but murmur in pain.
The entire contents of the book had just entered her mind, and she was forced to read it all before she realized that she was just a minor character with little screen time in the historical novel.
While the family was away, her older sister enrolled her in a rural job. After two years of hard work in the countryside, her older sister and brother-in-law tricked her into returning home to marry an older man, becoming a stepmother, raising children, and serving a difficult mother-in-law.
After enduring more than ten years of pain and despair, her husband was involved in a car accident and died. His employer provided compensation, but then her in-laws and stepchildren tried to kick her out, refusing to let her participate in the compensation. During the argument, they pushed her down the stairs, where she fell to her death.
She fell to her death.
She was not even thirty years old when she died!
Thinking that she was just an insignificant passerby, someone the author added to pad out the plot and word count, Wen Xi's lips curled into a mocking smile. So what if she was just a passerby in a period novel?
She can definitely change her destiny through her own efforts.
Even if she can't be as amazing as the male and female leads, she can still change her fate and live the life she wants.
"Xiaoxi, you're finally awake! Everyone was so worried about you."
A cool hand touched Wenxi's forehead, accompanied by a somewhat familiar voice. Wenxi suddenly opened her eyes and immediately saw her best friend Shen Jiaojiao, who lived in the same alley as her.
"Jiaojiao, what's wrong with me?" Wenxi asked, puzzled.
“You had a high fever that wouldn’t go down for two whole days. You were delirious from the fever. We tried all sorts of methods to bring down the fever, but nothing worked. Thankfully, you’ve woken up.” Shen Jiaojiao reached out to support Wen Xi’s body and took the hot water that Jiang Yue handed her. “Xiao Xi, now that you’re awake, you should be fine. Drink some hot water to soothe your throat.”
"Thank you." Wen Xi was very weak at the moment and could only follow Shen Jiaojiao's arrangements.
After Wen Xi finished drinking the whole cup of hot water, Shen Jiaojiao returned the cup to Jiang Yue, saying, "Jiang Yue, thank you."
"Don't be so polite. We're all going to the same rural area, so we should look out for each other and stick together. We can't let anyone bully us," Jiang Yue said with a smile.
Shen Jiaojiao supported Wen Xi and said, "Xiao Xi, lean on me and rest for a while."
Wen Xi was too exhausted to say anything more, so she obediently leaned against Shen Jiaojiao's chest. The real touch confirmed to her that she had been reborn.
She was reborn in December 1974, when her eldest sister secretly arranged for her to go to the countryside.
Thinking of their tragic endings in the book, Wenxi's eyes welled up with tears. Now that she had been reborn, she was determined not to let Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue repeat the same mistakes. She was determined to change their fate with them.
And this time, she will absolutely not let those insignificant people use her marriage to seek personal gain. Who she marries and who she doesn't marry is her own decision!
After Wenxi felt better, she climbed out of Chen Jiaojiao's arms. She was wearing rather thin clothes, and as soon as she climbed out, she felt a cold wind blowing, so she quickly pulled her clothes tighter.
Going to the countryside in Northeast China only requires working for half a year, and the remaining half is spent hibernating. However, going to the countryside in central and southern China means working all year round. The place that my older sister signed up Wenxi for to go to the countryside is in the central plains region - Huizhou Province, which is also a place where you have to work all year round, except that there is relatively less work in winter.
Wenxi turned her head to look out the window and saw a snow-covered landscape. Occasionally, she could see some houses, but if it weren't for the wisps of smoke rising from their roofs, she wouldn't have been able to tell that they were houses!
Because the whole world was white.
At this moment, Jiang Yue asked, "Shen Jiaojiao, do you want some hot water?"
"Yes, yes!" Shen Jiaojiao immediately took out the lunchbox. "Jiang Yue, thank you!"
Jiang Yue quickly brought hot water and poured half of it into Shen Jiaojiao's lunchbox. Shen Jiaojiao quickly took out a steamed bun and soaked it in the hot water. After it softened a bit, she said to Wen Xi, "Xiao Xi, come and eat some to replenish your strength. You haven't eaten for several days. This can't go on. You had a fever before, so you can't eat eggs. That's why I didn't soak any eggs for you. You can eat eggs when you're better."
"Okay." Wen Xi took the spoon that Shen Jiaojiao handed her and ate it bite by bite.
After Wenxi finished eating, her stomach, which had been cramping from hunger, finally felt much better. Shen Jiaojiao went to get hot water to soak a steamed bun, ate it, and then leaned back in her seat to rest.
night.
Most of the people in the carriage were already asleep. Because of the cold, several people huddled together for warmth. Wenxi, Chen Jiaojiao, and Jiang Yue also squeezed together, which made it relatively warmer.
The sound of breathing from sleeping passengers rose and fell in the carriage, clearly audible in the darkness, but Wenxi couldn't fall asleep for a long time. She looked at the pitch-black night outside the window, her feelings very complicated.
Suddenly, a cold, emotionless voice echoed in her mind and eyes, "Ding, the sign-in system has been successfully bound. Please sign in to claim your newcomer gift pack!"
Wen Xi was startled and quickly turned her head to look around. Seeing that everyone was fast asleep and no one had noticed her movements or heard her voice, she opened her eyes wide and asked in confusion, "A sign-in system? What is that?"
Could this be the same kind of cheat code as the time-traveling female protagonist in the book?
The female lead's cheat ability is a super-large farm. She can plant or harvest all the crops with just a tap of her finger, which is very convenient. I wonder what her sign-in system is.
The system was also a bit confused, not knowing how to answer Wenxi's question. After a while, it replied, "The sign-in system means that you have arrived. With this system, you just need to use your mind to tap lightly to indicate that you have been here."
Wen Xi suddenly realized, "I understand, so what are the benefits of signing in?"
"You'll receive a welcome gift pack for your first sign-in. Subsequent daily sign-ins will randomly drop small gift packs, and a large gift pack will drop once a month, with large gift packs also randomly dropping on holidays," the system responded.
Wen Xi was startled; she never expected such a good thing to happen!
So he nodded repeatedly, "I want to sign in and receive the newcomer gift pack."
Then a rectangular screen, about the size of a textbook, appeared in front of her, emitting a faint glow like fireflies. In the upper right corner were the words "Sign in to receive a newcomer gift pack." She poked it with her mind in confusion.
"Ding, check-in successful. Congratulations to the host for receiving the newcomer gift pack."
Wen Xi was puzzled because she didn't see the so-called newcomer gift pack. After waiting for a few seconds, she noticed a red dot above the words "My Warehouse" in the lower right corner.
