"System, during the training, you were told that you could choose a cheat code for each task. Is it possible to choose one now?"
Lin Xue rubbed her rough face; these hands were really rough on her face!
It seems she'll need to take good care of herself in the future, otherwise she'll probably start to dislike herself.
"Sure, the host of this mission world can choose from the following cheat codes: Beauty Pill, Strength Pill, and fluency in all foreign languages!"
Lin Xue knew their function as soon as she heard the name "golden finger".
"System, why are there so few cheat codes to choose from?"
At least some farm space or something. Although the country was already very powerful when he was born, he only knew bits and pieces about the events of the 1970s from textbooks.
But those few words were enough for her to understand the hardships that ordinary people faced in the 1970s.
Moreover, having received the original owner's memories, this was an era where people relied on each other when they were hungry, sick, or tired.
Needless to say, people lacked food and clothing. In this era, food was more precious than life. Moreover, ordinary people were also restricted, unlike in later generations when they could go wherever they wanted or do business as they pleased.
In this era, you can only get food by exchanging work points. You need ration coupons to buy things, and you can get arrested for selling things. If you want to have enough to eat, you have to work hard. Even saying the wrong thing can be fatal!
"Host, you're just a level 0 newbie. Once you complete this mission and get enough points, you can level up to level 1."
"The variety of cheat codes will increase, and once the host reaches level one, they can also receive a five-square-meter space provided by the system!"
"So hurry up and choose, host. I'm not just serving you; there are others waiting too!"
Out of consideration for Lin Xue being a newcomer, 629 offered a rare explanation.
"Since this is an era where people live by working, then give me a power pill!"
Lin Xue was very clear-headed; after all, she had attended university.
Although she wasn't very diligent in school, her grades were consistently excellent; she was a naturally gifted student.
After understanding the background of this era, she knew what to do.
"My host, the Power Pill has been redeemed."
"Given that you are a newcomer, this system kindly allocates one square meter of its own space to you, so that you have a place to store your valuables!"
"You can see it in the meditation space in your mind. Host, good luck, I'm outta here!"
After saying that, 629 left, and no matter how Lin Xue called out to him, she could not get a response.
"The most urgent task is to get back the grain that the original owner gave to her family, otherwise her marriage with Wang Guoqing will probably come to an end!"
There are priorities, and the two children were probably taken back to the Wang family's old house by their mother-in-law.
She needs to take the powerful pill quickly; with the original owner's body, going there would only be like sending food to the slaughter. Not only would she fail to retrieve the food, but she also risks losing more people.
After taking the energy pill, Lin Xue felt her strength return.
However, I felt a burning sensation in my stomach, which was caused by not eating for a long time.
Lin Xue got out of bed and searched the house inside and out, but couldn't find anything to eat.
"Fuck your grandma's roll!"
Damn it, how could the original owner be so confused? She even dug up the mouse hole, but couldn't find a single grain of rice!
Hunger makes people angry, and anger makes people mad.
At this point, Lin Xue no longer felt so hungry; she just wanted to get to Old Lin's house as soon as possible and carry the grain back.
And so, Lin Xue stormed out, leaving the courtyard gate unclosed.
Actually, there's nothing to be afraid of theft; their house is cleaner than a person's face.
Fueled by this anger, Lin Xue made her way to Qingliu Village.
People she knew greeted her along the way, but she didn't respond.
What are you going to do?
She was sustained only by this anger; otherwise, her legs would have given way and she wouldn't have been able to walk.
"Little sister, why are you back?"
The first person to see Lin Xue was the original owner's older brother, Lin Dabao.
He looked at Lin Xue with some ill intent, having just looted all the grain from Lin Xue's house a couple of days ago.
His sister is coming back at this time, probably because the family is struggling to make ends meet and wants their help.
Dream on! They're losing money, and you expect them to cover the losses? He'll just kick them out.
Thinking this way, Lin Dabao did just that. He picked up the shovel leaning against the door and blocked Lin Xue's way.
"How can you go back to your parents' home empty-handed?"
"Go back and grab something before you come back!"
Lin Dabao spoke in an unfriendly tone, staring fiercely at Lin Xue.
"Heh, my brother just emptied my house of all its grain, and now he won't even let me come over?"
Lin Xue was so angry she laughed. Was this guy's thought process messed up?
"You worthless brat!"
"If you have nothing good, why did you come back? Wait until your Wang Guoqing comes back, take what he earned, or I won't have a sister like you anymore!"
"A married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl. How dare you come to my door empty-handed? I don't think you even respect me as your brother!"
As he spoke, Lin Dabao swung the shovel in his hand and smashed it towards Lin Xue's forehead.
"Screw you!"
"Damn it, you're asking for it! You took my food and you still dare to give me attitude? It's fine if you don't recognize me as your sister, I don't care about recognizing you as my brother either!"
"Rubbish!"
Lin Xue shoveled away the shovel that was being thrown at her and kicked it straight at her with one foot.
Ouch!
"Lin Xueni, you piece of trash, how dare you hit me?"
