[Oops, I made a mistake. What the heck is "strong as an ox"? Host, don't choose this one. I suggest you choose the first one. It's easier to seduce someone that way, and hopefully you'll get her pregnant on the first try.]
The system was frantic. It had already made a huge mistake, and who knew how its master system would punish it? Now, it had created something with superhuman strength—wasn't this something from the weightlifting champion system next door...?
[Host, choose the first one. I'll secretly check if there are any wealthy families or landlords around here that you might bump into...]
Yan Xia interrupted the system before it could finish speaking.
【Are you stupid? The original owner couldn't have children! What a load of nonsense! Seriously, meeting you is the worst thing that ever happened to me—do you want to be reborn? This is so unreliable, I'm going to file a complaint against you!】
After a barrage of insults, the system was instantly dumbfounded.
It was trembling with fear.
[Oh right, I can't have children, what am I going to do? How am I going to complete missions if I can't have children? Oh no, I'm going to be scrapped, what am I going to do? Host, please don't complain about me, I haven't lived enough yet, waaaaaah...]
The little chubby boy's tears fell in large drops. He squatted on the ground in the space, motionless, but his trembling shoulders betrayed his fear and sadness.
Yan Xia's anger subsided considerably; she could never bring herself to be harsh with such adorable little ones.
"Fine, I won't complain. Is there any way you can get me back? This place is awful; I'd rather go back to working. Let's untie each other."
Anyone would find it unbearable to suddenly go from 20 to 31 years old. Being poor is bad enough, but then you unexpectedly become a mother and a widow. Your whole family is a bunch of awful characters waiting to tear each other apart. Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
[I can't unbind you unless you die in your original world or I'm rendered useless. Host, how about this: you stay alive for now, and I'll report to the main system to see if there's a solution. Rather than being discovered, I'd rather turn myself in.]
The chubby boy stood up from the ground, his face showing a look of resignation to his fate.
[You can turn yourself in now, but first give me the newbie gift pack. I'll choose the one with super strength, since it's the only one that's somewhat useful.] Yan Xia looked at the body, which was covered in hidden injuries, and the arms were as thin as sticks, looking like they would break if you broke them. She needed something to protect herself.
[Alright, host, selected. Please check. I... I'm leaving. Take care, host!]
As soon as she finished speaking, the chubby boy disappeared from the space as if he had never been there. At that moment, Yan Xia's body suddenly became hot, but returned to normal in less than three seconds.
She lifted the straw off her body, stood up, took a few steps, and then sat back down.
She was in pain all over just now, but now she doesn't feel anything at all. The wound on her arm has scabbed over, and the throbbing pain in her chest has returned to normal.
Suddenly, the broken door to the woodshed was kicked open.
"Are you dead? It's almost dawn and you're still sleeping here. Didn't you get enough of a beating yesterday? Is your skin itching again? Hurry up and do the laundry and cook. I accidentally got poop on my underwear yesterday. You better scrub it clean with your hands. If there's even a trace of it, I'll beat you to death! You useless wretch, always looking miserable, you killed my son, and now you want to make me angry to death!"
The original owner's mother-in-law, Chen Li, had a loud voice. She put her hands on her thick waist and had a mean and sarcastic expression on her face as she stood at the door and insulted Yan Xia.
"Mom—are you still in pain? Grandma, my mom doesn't seem to be feeling well. Let me help her with the chores today. Please, Grandma, let her rest for a day, okay?"
Yan Xia was still in a daze when another girl appeared at the door. She looked to be about fifteen years old, short and thin, as if a gust of wind could blow her over. Her face was full of worry, and her beautiful eyes were looking at Chen Li Shi pleadingly.
It turns out she was the original owner's second daughter, Chen Guihua.
"Stop talking nonsense! You think you have no work to do? You're not going anywhere today. I've found you a marriage proposal. The family will be coming to meet you at daybreak. You'd better wash your face properly and comb your hair neatly. Don't look like your mother, like a beggar and disgrace the Chen family. After the meeting, go up the mountain to dig up pig feed, and then help your cousin wash his hair. Make sure to use plenty of cold water so my precious great-grandson doesn't get scalded. Alright, go away. Don't talk to your unlucky mother, or you'll end up killing someone like her as soon as you get married. Then they'll come and gossip about me behind my back."
Chen Li-shi struck Chen Gui-hua's forehead hard, the force causing her to stumble back several steps.
Chen Guihua's forehead instantly turned red, and she had no choice but to leave shakily, turning back to give Yan Xia a deep look as she went.
It was filled with reluctance and worry.
"What are you still standing there for? I bet you won't budge unless you're hit. You're such a coward, a born bastard!"
When Chen Li saw Yan Xia standing motionless in the room, her anger flared up instantly.
She found a thick wooden stick outside and attacked Yan Xia.
The wooden stick was aimed straight at Yan Xia's forehead. If it hit her, even if she wasn't killed, she would probably be turned into an idiot.
However, no cries of pain were heard. Instead, Yan Xia gripped the wooden stick tightly with her right hand. Her eyes were fierce, and with a forceful pull, the stick instantly became Yan Xia's.
You should know that she was still processing her memories just now, otherwise she wouldn't have been sitting there letting this wicked old woman scold her.
Chen Li was stunned. She didn't expect that her daughter-in-law, who was as soft as a steamed bun, would dare to fight back, and how could she be so strong?
Her hand was sore from being pulled.
"You, you're trying to rebel? Who gave you permission to fight back?"
Her stammering tone was enough to prove how shocked Chen Li was.
"Ha, I merely took this stick, and you call that fighting back? What, you're allowed to hit people, but others aren't allowed to fight back? Haven't you heard the saying? Don't easily mess with an honest person—"
