Chapter 3: The Abandoned Capitalist Lady in the 1950s
By March of 1949, Qi Tingwan was already twelve years old.
That day, she secretly overheard the conversation between Mr. Xu and Bai Lian and learned a shocking news: a high-ranking official of the Kuomintang had sent his family out of the mainland to develop overseas.
Mr. Xu felt that the mainland was no longer safe and believed that they should make plans as soon as possible. So he decided to take his entire family to settle in Hong Kong City first, and then consider whether to return to the mainland after the situation became clearer.
Bai Lian also agreed to leave first, but was unwilling to let Qi Tingwan go with her.
Every time she saw Qi Tingwan, she would think of the grievances she suffered when she was a mistress.
More importantly, if Qi Tingwan was not there, she could become Mrs. Xu legitimately.
Therefore, Bai Lian came up with a vicious plan. She deliberately ordered someone to open Qi Tingwan's window at night, causing Qi Tingwan to catch a cold and have a high fever.
However, Bai Lian deliberately delayed finding a doctor, causing Qi Tingwan's condition to become increasingly serious.
In his previous life, Qi Tingwan died tonight.
Xu Qingwan and Xu Yunzhou searched the room for a long time but found nothing.
Xu Qingwan was a little unwilling, so she decided to lift the quilt and check again.
When she lifted the quilt, a peace locket slipped off Qi Tingwan's neck.
Xu Qingwan reached out and pulled it down without thinking, only to find that Qi Tingwan was already dead.
The two were terrified and immediately turned around and fled the room.
However, Xu Qingwan accidentally cut her finger while escaping, and blood dripped onto the safety locket.
It was because of this little accident that she gained a magical ability.
From then on, as long as she carried the peace locket with her, she could sense which piece of raw stone could produce high-quality jade.
If the jade is of extremely high quality, the peace locket will even become hot. This is why Xu Qingwan always likes to caress the peace locket.
After Qi Tingwan died, her soul always followed Xu Qingwan.
They were going to take a boat to Gangcheng tonight, but when the boat docked at Gangcheng Port and they just got off the boat, a sudden gang fight broke out and broke the peace.
They fled in panic and eventually lost most of their belongings, leaving only two small boxes of gold bars.
They were all people who were used to spending lavishly, and after buying a house and adding daily expenses, their money was soon spent.
In the following days, their lives became extremely difficult and they were short of money.
Fortunately, not long after Xu Qingwan arrived in Gangcheng, she accidentally discovered her special ability to select raw stones.
But I have been keeping this secret.
The matter of dividing the family was actually a conspiracy that she and Bai Lian had discussed long ago.
Just to get rid of this burden of a big family.
Because Bai Lian had secretly hooked up with a high-ranking foreign official in Gangcheng and became his mistress.
She didn't want these people in the family to take advantage of her and her children.
Many of those rescue scenes were deliberately instigated by Xu Qingwan when she went out with Bai Lian.
Then she would pretend to come forward to save people, making them owe her a favor, so that she could take the opportunity to develop her own network.
In the end, Xu Qingwan actually married a wealthy businessman from Hong Kong, and the wedding was grand and spectacular.
The other members of the Xu family had already sold their villa and were living in a small apartment, watching her wedding on TV in poverty!
Qi Tingwan was completely in the dark about what happened afterwards!
When Ning Ning came to this body, Qi Tingwan had just passed away.
I occupied this body without knowing what was going on. Now that I know what happened, my head is buzzing and I am completely confused.
This is too hasty.
She didn't know if she could return to her original world.
This time travel is so strange. Since I'm here now, I can't just stop living just because the current situation is not good.
She frowned, thinking about her good life and the newly renovated house, but she ended up in this unfamiliar place!
If only she had accepted the memory earlier, it would have been better. Now she can't even help the little girl get revenge. She was leaving in a car, and with her small body, she couldn't catch up with her on two legs.
By the time she reached the dock, they had already boarded the boat and left.
It seems that I have to find an opportunity in the future to see if I can help the little girl get revenge. At least I can't let Bai Lian live as gloriously as she did in her previous life. She killed the little girl, so I have to avenge her no matter what.
Subconsciously, I touched the peace locket on my neck. Since this thing is a treasure, I should quickly drip blood to acknowledge its ownership. But I must not let it cause any more trouble. If someone else snatches it away, I will cry to death!
The big house is empty tonight, there is no one except her!
During the day, all the servants were fired by the cruel woman Bai Lian, and those who moved things at night were also hired temporarily.
Ning Ning looked at the room that was turned upside down as if it had been swept by a tornado. Finding a needle was harder than climbing to the sky.
She scratched her head and thought, forget it, forget it, I'd better go to the kitchen to find a knife. It doesn't matter if the wound is a little bigger, it won't kill anyone anyway!
When I came to the kitchen, I saw that everything was still there, full of rice, flour, grain, oil, and all the kitchen supplies.
Ning Ning patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "I have to say it, but I feel much more at ease with these things. At least I don't have to worry about starving to death. God is still kind to me!"
As she spoke, she picked up a fruit knife, made a small cut on her index finger, and as soon as she saw the bleeding, she couldn't wait to press it on the safety locket.
Unexpectedly, this peace locket was so unruly! Once it got on her finger, it stuck like a dog-skin plaster and she couldn't get it off even if she shook it off. It held onto her finger for a full five minutes before releasing it.
Ning Ning quickly pulled her hand back and saw that the wound had actually healed.
This is not bad, at least they know how to heal the wound, which shows some conscience!
But who could have imagined that the peace locket would go straight into her eyebrows and disappear without a trace.
Ning Ning was just panicking, thinking about the appearance of the peace locket, when she suddenly appeared in a small farmyard.
Ning Ning's eyes widened, her jaw dropping in shock: "Oh my god, what's going on?"
All Xu Qingwan got was the ability to identify jade, but when it came to Ning Ning, it turned into a small space in a farmyard!
Isn't this treatment a bit too good? Did I accidentally become the protagonist?
She didn't think about it any further and hurried into the house to see what was going on.
As soon as she entered the house, she was facing the main hall. There was a landscape painting hanging on the wall, and below it was a table and two chairs. On the table was the peace locket that had been hanging around her neck.
Ning Ning didn't say anything and quickly picked it up and put it in the cabinet in the space bedroom. This is the key to the Qi family treasure house. If it is lost, where can she find it!
On the left was the bedroom, and on the right was the alchemy room. Coming out of the alchemy room, Ning Ning finally understood that the things grown outside were not ordinary things at all. No wonder she didn't recognize any of them. They turned out to be low-level spiritual medicines from the world of cultivation.
I took a strengthening pill from the pharmacy, and the symptoms of cold and fever are gradually subsiding. All that remains is for my health to improve slowly in the future.
I also got a beauty pill and an intelligence pill.
In ancient times, China did have people who could cultivate immortality, but now it is the Dharma Ending Age. There is no spiritual energy outside at all, so it is impossible to cultivate.
This small space does have a small spiritual vein, so some low-level spiritual medicines can be grown.
However, because the spiritual energy is becoming less and less, this space is now only as big as a small courtyard.
It is so big not because the space is small, but because there is no spiritual energy to support it. If a treasure that can replenish spiritual energy can be found in the future, the space of this small courtyard can be expanded.
The reason why Xu Qingwan gained the ability to identify jade is because she is not of the Qi family bloodline and does not have the talent for cultivation.
She can sense jade because the better the quality of the jade, the more spiritual energy it contains. The jade wants to absorb the spiritual energy inside, so it becomes hot.
