"What? You want to arrange a marriage alliance?"
"My daughter, have you thought this through? Being a stepmother is tough."
"System upgrade successful. Please bind your account as soon as possible."
Half asleep, Ye Zhaozhao heard voices beside her. She turned over and continued to sleep. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in an unfamiliar place.
Before she could react, a woman wearing a dress and small leather shoes walked in.
"Ye Zhaozhao, we're going to join the army tomorrow. Hurry up and pack your things. Mom and Dad said they'd take me to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things. I'm leaving now."
Seeing Ye Zhaozhao's lifeless eyes and blank expression, Ye Qianxue felt extremely pleased. In this life, no one could take away her happiness.
Ye Zhaozhao suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head, and a flood of memories that didn't belong to her rushed in. It turned out that she had transmigrated to the 1970s, and the original owner of the body was also named Ye Zhaozhao. The person who had just walked out was her stepsister, Ye Qianxue.
Ye Qianxue and Gu Yunduan were betrothed as children, and both sets of parents were very satisfied with the marriage. Since Gu Yunduan did not have any leave, they asked Ye Qianxue to go to the army base to marry him.
On the day of departure, Ye Qianxue fell and immediately told Ye Zhongmin and Wei Shufen that she did not want to marry Gu Yunduan, but wanted to marry Shen Yihan.
Shen Yihan and Gu Yunduan were in the same military region. He was a deputy battalion commander and his conditions were decent. However, he was raising three children alone, and his daughter had married into the family and become his stepmother.
The two disagreed. Ye Qianxue thought of the grievances she suffered in her previous life because Gu Yunduan was unable to have children, and the loneliness she endured in her later life. She hated Gu Yunduan to the core.
She told the two of them that Gu Yunduan was infertile, and that she knew Gu Yunduan was infertile.
The two relented; compared to marrying an infertile man, a man with a child was nothing.
The two women also developed a sense of contempt for the Gu family. Their son was infertile, yet he still wanted to marry their daughter. However, the Gu family had given them a dowry of one thousand yuan, which they did not want to return.
So, Ye Zhaozhao was married to Gu Yunduan.
Ye Zhaozhao is eighteen years old this year and has just graduated from high school. She doesn't want to get married so early. Ye Zhongmin told Wei Shufen that if she doesn't get married, she will be sent to the countryside, and she had no choice but to agree.
When Gu's parents heard that Ye Qianxue absolutely refused to marry their son, they immediately lost their goodwill towards her.
Instead, he thought Ye Zhaozhao was sensible and well-behaved, so he immediately went to inform his son about it.
Since confirming her relationship with Shen Yihan, Ye Qianxue has often boasted in front of Ye Zhaozhao, and even told her about Gu Yunduan's infertility and early death.
The original owner was terrified when she learned she was going to marry such a man. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. After several days of this, she died of depression, and her memories ended there.
Ye Zhaozhao sighed. What a mess this was. Although she was all alone, she didn't want to come to the 1970s.
Quickly assessing the current situation, with a scumbag father who doesn't care for me and a stepmother who doesn't love me, it seems the only way to get rid of them is to join the army.
Going to the countryside is out of the question. Life is too short to endure hardship.
"Host, you're right to think that way. I am your personal system, Xiao Yi."
Ye Zhaozhao understood that this was a must-have cheat code for time travel in novels. With Xiao Yi's explanation, she completed the binding and became familiar with the system.
The system has seven areas. Currently, only the shop and warehouse are unlocked. The remaining five areas need to be upgraded and unlocked by accumulating points. The shop has everything, and the warehouse can store unlimited resources.
That's enough. Why would I need carrots?
With the system, there was no need to worry about the future. Ye Zhaozhao lay down and continued to sleep. When she woke up, it was already midnight.
After taking two meat buns and a cup of soy milk from the mall, Ye Zhaozhao left the room, having eaten and drunk her fill.
Ye Zhongmin and his family of three were sleeping soundly, just as she wanted. At that time, her mother had passed away unexpectedly, and her father had married Wei Shufen and her daughter. From then on, her biological father became her stepfather.
The original owner's life was miserable. Since he was going to join the army and didn't plan to come back, he should settle everything.
Ye Zhaozhao went into Ye Zhongmin and Wei Shufen's room and started searching.
"Host, it's in the drawer on the left."
With Xiao Yi's help, Ye Zhaozhao successfully found the money and tickets. Along with the 1,000 yuan dowry from the Gu family, she found 3,000 yuan in cash, as well as various other tickets and certificates.
Ye Zhaozhao glanced at them casually and was relieved to see that they were all the same as those used nationwide. She searched around again and found two small wooden boxes under the bed.
Upon opening the box, she found it full of small yellow croakers. Thinking of the sky-high gold prices in later years, Ye Zhaozhao exclaimed that she was rich! After searching this place, she went to Ye Qianxue's room.
Ye Qianxue is Ye Zhongmin's biological daughter. This was something the original owner overheard by accident. Ye Zhongmin and Wei Shufen packed Ye Qianxue's luggage together.
There were three large packages. Ye Zhaozhao opened them. One package contained new clothes and shoes, and the other contained cured meat, sausages, chicken, and fish.
Upon learning that their daughter would be going to an island, the couple were worried that she would suffer, so they started preparing supplies a few days ago.
The remaining package contained malted milk powder, White Rabbit milk candy, glutinous rice strips, peach crisps, white sugar, brown sugar, and canned fruit...
The military green satchel also contained the five hundred yuan and tickets that Ye Zhongmin and Wei Shufen had prepared for her.
Ye Zhaozhao sneered. The Gu family gave them a thousand yuan, which they pocketed themselves. Shen Yihan didn't give them a single penny, yet he was willing to pay them extra.
Thinking of this, she didn't hesitate and put them all into the warehouse. Xiao Yi suddenly realized something.
"Host, you can bring all your belongings in; it'll save you some trouble."
Why didn't you say so earlier?
"I'm sorry... I forgot."
"Alright, I'll leave the rest to you. Remember to bring in Ye Qianxue's new quilt too."
"no problem."
After entrusting the matter to Xiao Yi, Ye Zhaozhao went out. She arrived at the steel factory and placed the whistleblower letter at the factory director's door, reporting that Ye Zhongmin and Wei Shufen were having an affair.
