Chapter 4: Dressed as a Vicious Cannon Fodder



Perhaps because she was too tired after a busy day, Li Qingyun slept soundly and didn't know what day it was.

Half awake and half asleep, I heard the crying of a baby, each cry getting louder and louder, deafening.

"Don't cry, baby. Your brother is here." A gentle voice coaxed the baby. The baby's crying gradually subsided, and he hiccuped and sobbed softly.

Li Qingyun turned his head sleepily and looked at the two brothers beside him. Why was he dreaming again? He should continue sleeping.

Oh, that's not right.

The next second, Li Qingyun's mind suddenly had many memories that did not belong to her.

Li Qingyun sadly discovered that when she woke up, she had indeed traveled through time, and she had traveled to the body of the unscrupulous mother Li Zhaodi in her dream.

What's even more tragic is that after absorbing Li Zhaodi's memories, she probably realized that she might have traveled through a book, and the original owner of this body, Li Zhaodi, was just a cannon fodder who only appeared in a few strokes in the book and was not even a supporting role.

Thinking of the brief description of Li Zhaodi in the book, Li Qingyun felt like fainting on the spot. Other people who traveled through time always ended up as beautiful and kind-hearted heroines, so why did she end up as such a selfish and calloused original self?

Li Zhaodi in the book has two sons, Gu Yanli and Gu Yanshi, who are the two little ones on the bed.

When Gu Yanli was five years old, Li Zhaodi was deliberately coaxed into eloping. As a result, on the train, she accidentally overheard a conversation between a man and a human trafficker about selling her to human traffickers. In a moment of desperation, she jumped out of the train and died while escaping.

Gu Yanli in the book is very secretive about his biological mother and dares not mention it to others. It is also because Li Zhaodi is too pretentious and she played a good hand of cards badly.

Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved. Fortunately, she traveled to this time point. Gu Yanli was just a little kid over four years old, and Gu Yanshi was only five months old. Those things that happened later had not happened yet, and there was still time for everything.

To be precise, this is a book about the development of a certain era. The reborn heroine raised her son from a street thug into an outstanding college student. She also found the perfect person to take over and achieved a perfect life.

The man who took over was the brothers’ widowed father, Gu Tingzhou.

After becoming a widower, he lived with the army with his two sons. He was too busy with work to take care of himself. His mother came to help take care of him for a while and advised him to consider finding another woman to live with in the long run.

In order to have someone to take care of his two sons, Gu Tingzhou chose the heroine who happened to appear as his remarriage wife.

The heroine, after being reborn, had the experience of her previous life and knew that Gu Tingzhou would be very successful in the future, so she appeared at the right time when he needed her most and took care of the two children meticulously. With the encouragement of Gu Tingzhou's mother, the two widowed people remarried with different purposes.

Since then, the two brothers Gu Yanli and Gu Yanshi have become the control group of the heroine's son. The book describes the heroine's son as the embodiment of justice and a kind angel, while the Gu Yanli brothers are the embodiment of evil and vicious bad guys.

When I was reading the book, I had the protagonist filter on and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. But now when I think back on the plot, I just feel it's bullshit. The two brothers Gu Yanli were obviously just poor children who needed love. They didn't have a good mother to teach them, and they passed away early.

Although their father loved them, he was too busy with work and spent little time at home. The two brothers had to make a living at the hands of their stepmother and were often compared to her sons. You can imagine how hard their lives were.

The heroine in the novel treats everyone equally, but if you think about it carefully, most of the time she is just trying to save face in front of Gu Tingzhou, and she doesn't actually take care of or educate the two brothers. So they may have gone astray, but they are not unforgivable. They just have some character flaws.

In short, no matter what is in the book, she is Li Qingyun now, and she will never let anything in the book happen again.

The more she thought about it, the more headache she felt. Li Qingyun decided to deal with the present first. The little guy Gu Yanshi started crying again, making a lot of noise that made her head hurt.

Li Qingyun pretended to wake up and turned around to look at the two brothers.

When Gu Dabao saw his mother turn around, he subconsciously hugged his younger brother tightly and tried to shrink into the corner to reduce his presence.

Based on many past experiences, if the second baby cries and wakes up the mother, they will suffer the consequences.

Li Qingyun looked at the two brothers who were pale and skinny, and couldn't help but sighing deeply. Li Zhaodi, this damn woman, how could she bear to treat two such lovely children like this? No matter how poor the family was, they should not have no food to eat.

In 1966, with the ten yuan of living expenses sent back by Gu Tingzhou every month, even if she did not work, the mother and her two children could live comfortably.

She didn't dare to be too different from her original self for the moment, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, so she could only imitate her original self and said fiercely: "Dabao, why don't you go make some rice soup? Do you want to starve your brother to death?"

Dabao and Erbao are the nicknames of the two brothers, given by their grandfather, and their full names were given by their father.

Gu Dabao skillfully picked up his younger brother, quickly turned over and got out of bed, then turned back with a flattering smile, revealing a mouthful of slightly yellow teeth. Li Qingyun was a little embarrassed to look at it.

"Mom, there's no rice."

Mom is in a good mood today. She even used rice to make rice soup for Erbao. Erbao finally doesn’t have to go hungry today. I will have to add more water and make more soup later so that he can drink it all day long, and I can also eat some fine grains. It’s wonderful just thinking about it.

Seeing his happy face, Li Qingyun felt soft in the heart and took out the key from her pocket and handed it to him.

Gu Yanli in the book is a super boss who is unpredictable, fickle, and has connections in both the black and white worlds. But now he is just a cute child who has not experienced the hardships that followed and turned into the emotionless machine in the book.

Since she has used someone else's mother's body, she must fulfill her mother's responsibilities. From now on, these two children will be under her care.

As for the father of the two children, let's look at his performance. Although he always punishes the two brothers in the book, his love for them is so deep that he criticizes them harshly. This shows that he actually still loves his two sons very much, but he uses the wrong method.

In that era, one needed a letter of introduction to go out, and migrant workers could not survive anywhere. She had never thought about and it was impossible for her to leave the family and live alone. Of course, she could not bear to abandon her two poor children.

If divorce is the only option, she is determined to take her two children with her to prevent them from going down the same path as described in the book.

Li Qingyun herself was a child who had never received love from her parents, and she understood too well the sadness of it. So even though they were not her own children, she decided to give them a lot of love and a sense of security in the future, so that they could grow up to be the pillars of the country, and it would be worth her time traveling through the book.
