Ah Oh, good Lord This is the famine years Three-year catastrophe Most people don’t have enough food Years of harsh cold I actually time-traveled into your wicked stepmother Ye Lin Abused her four children Forced them to flee their home All four became exceptional successes Upon their return this wicked stepmother of theirs faced the guillotine You all Don’t hit them Beat you all Mom We’re out of food stamps at home. Money is gone too. Even if you kill me I can’t do it either. This is just the start. Husband died in battle. The family lost its income. No food or drink. The original owner also kicked her mother-in-law out. She also took her husband’s war pension. Gave everything to her greedy family. Brother-in-law Everyone, go work to earn work points. Those who can’t earn work points Will starve. Go. Such a sin! Mom. I will also go to work. Work with my brothers to earn points. Exchange for more food stamps. Don’t sell me and Lao Si. Please, I beg you. Sell the children. In the drama, To pay her lover’s gambling debt. Plans to sell the two children. But after Shen Jun heard it, Fleeing overnight with their siblings Bastard Damn it Mom Dad is gone For the sake of my father Let the third and fourth go I beg you Their father Their father isn’t dead Not only alive but earned merits became a general The wife lied to the general she gave her all But the kids believed village gossip that the stepmother wanted to sell them and ran away The general believed her making her his wife for ten years But unexpectedly ten years later Shen Jun joined the battlefield gained fame in one war and became a general Shen Heng excelled in research repeatedly earned military honors became the youngest academician Shen Zhong, a medical elite tested medicines to cure his sister Blind in one eye Hailed as the One-Eyed Maverick Physician Shen Yan Viper Entertainment Queen Founder of Da Xia’s biggest entertainment company Weilin Listen to me I Ah Beast! Criminal Ye Lin Charged with intentional assault Abandoned children of war heroes Sentenced to death Executed by firing squad Effective immediately Though the original host deserved to die this is too brutal Now that I’ve traveled through time Consultation time remains I must change these kids perception of me Avoid this tragic fate All of you Get up now You must be hungry Rise Mom will cook you something tasty Mom You Could you not be wanting us siblings to have a full meal just then sell Lao San and Lao Si? Please never do this You’re not hungry? I, your mother, am hungry. Get away Original master’s setup just this bit of use. This is too poor. This is also too poor, isn’t it? This bit of stuff isn’t even enough to eat for three days. I don’t care. First, feed the children, then we’ll see. This is all the white flour left at home. It was saved for New Year. She actually used it all. Why didn’t she add any mixed flour? Could it really be our last meal? Brother Brother, am I soon going to be sold? Why is it so fragrant? What is Shen Yan up to now? She steamed all the eggs. She must not want this anymore. After this meal, if she doesn’t sell us off, she’ll leave home. She won’t want us anymore. Big brother, Dad is gone. If she leaves too, will… No one cares for us anymore. Don’t worry, big brother has grown up. Even if she ignores us, big brother can still raise you all. Ah… Big brother… Brother… It smells so good! Shen Yan, come here. Come. Have a taste. Mom… I’m not hungry. You eat it. Only I can eat the eggs in this household. If I find out you stole any eggs, I’ll break your legs Just eat it when I tell you to Come here Mmm, so tasty Delicious We’ll eat this every day Mom let me eat eggs and gently patted my head Mom Host’s maternal love emerges Moving the children “Only Mom is Good” System activated Daughter Shen Yan’s Host favorability increased Reward: 10 gratitude points Gratitude points can be exchanged for goods in the System Mall Only Mom is good in the world System Gan Ji Zhi can be exchanged for goods. Then you help me check. Ten Gan Ji Zhi. Can be exchanged. What goods? A bag of ten kilograms white flour. Ten Gan Ji Zhi. One jin of meat. Two Gan Ji Zhi. A bag of rice, five kilograms. Ten Gan Ji Zhi. One Liang Piao per jin. One Gan Ji Zhi. Ten yuan Da Tuan Jie. Ten Gan Ji Zhi. Give a pillow when awake. With this. The ‘Only Mom is Good’ system. I just need to be good to these four. Make them grateful to me. Then use gratitude points to get supplies. Then I can raise them. Until my. Cheap husband returns. With this system. I in this famine era. Can eat meat every meal. Shen family’s. This life is not worth living. White flour steamed bun. There’s no coarse noodles left at all Oh dear And the steamed eggs are gone too No more noodles either The Shen Family You’ve gone and eaten everything up! Are you trying to starve these children to death later on? Aunt Zhang I just wanted the children to have one decent meal first We’ll worry about the future later That’s bullshit! It’s your family and old flame who wanted a full belly! Every single time you cook something nice don’t you send it all over to them? Poor children got such wretched fates Lost their parents still do your work as their stepmother To feed your birth family and some wild man! Mom honestly didn’t this time Mom just gave me some egg to eat She had you eat the egg. You. You wouldn’t really as the village says, for that gambler, sell Yan Yan off, right? You made so much delicious food. Just to coax her. To let her eat her last meal. So you can send her away, isn’t that it? I. She suddenly today was so good to us. It must be to make us lower our guard. Yan Yan is young. A bite of food, makes her change her view of you. But I can’t be fooled by her. Just managed to save some face. Aunt Zhang ruined it again. Aunt Zhang. You shut your filthy mouth! If you think I raise them poorly, let these few go to your house. And you raise them, is that okay? You… you. You what? You’ll pay for this. In times of famine, with four mouths to feed, I refuse to believe you’re not afraid. Go clear the table. It’s time to eat. Brother, she’s acting so strange. She probably wants us to finish this last meal, then sell Lao San and Lao Si. After she remarries, we’ll… lose our home forever. If she really plans this, I’ll help you escape. But… before we run away, We need to eat first. Only then… will we have the strength. Steamed buns are here. Let’s eat. Let me say this again. You only deserve scraps. If you dare steal this food again, I’ll make you eat pig poop! Disgusting animals. Mom. Please, don’t hit us. We won’t eat it. Everyone sit down and eat now. So you still refuse to eat, huh? Won’t eat? I’ll take it to your uncle. Oh, Mom! We’ll eat! We’ll eat it. We’ll eat right now. Come on. Whether it’s our last meal or not, let’s fill our stomachs first. Only when full Will I have the strength to escape with them? when she sells Little Sister. Only when full can we run. Mom! Don’t hit me, please. I won’t eat anymore. Come here. Why would I hit you? Just eat. System sensed Shen Chong. Affinity towards host increased Reward: Ten gratitude points Have a bite Gratitude +10 Kids will be kids Give a tasty bite and they’ll forget half of your past misdeeds It smells divine! This time, she actually shared good food with us. How suspicious… I… mustn’t let my guard down. Tuck yourselves in properly. Don’t catch cold. Can’t afford your medical bills. Dressed so finely, must be going to see Li Qiang. Ye Lin. Who comes knocking at this late hour? I told the buyer. You must hand over the child before 10 AM tomorrow. Ye Lin. Just as I thought. You have bad intentions. The buyers have arrived. I knew it. She has ill intentions. Let’s eat one last meal. Made us relax. To take advantage when we’re unprepared. Take Lao San and Lao Si, And sell them off. But Da Ge, I feel that today she Is really different. That’s because they Think you are young, Easy to deceive. Ah! The buyer’s people said, Tomorrow morning have her Return the children. So, Tonight, While she is asleep, Let us take Di Di and Mei Mei, And escape together. Our family doesn’t sell children. You better leave immediately. Not for sale at any price. If you dare come again, I I will see you once. I’ll beat you if this happens again. Fine! Fine! Won’t sell! No deals! Just wait till your old flame comes asking for money. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Get lost. Could it be… that she’s planning to steal Third and Fourth and sell them tonight? If she dares take away Take Third and Fourth. I’ll fight her hard. The one who never cared about us actually bothered to tuck Third in? What’s she scheming? Oh no! Yanyan! Go after her You go find Grandma Tell her to get the captain Broadcast it So the villagers can help block Yelin Just say Yelin wants to sell our sister Ah Yelin Stop right now Let go of my sister Yanyan Hold on Yelin Stop now Release my sister Yelin Stop immediately Put my sister down Yelin Release my sister Argh! Let go of my sister! Yelin Selling children privately is illegal When you hear this stop at once Fellow villagers If anyone spots her, Stop her right away. That Ye Lin, Selling her children in the middle of the night— She’s not afraid of being struck by lightning! I’ll go take a look. Oh my! That’s four mouths to feed. Those two older ones, They can work. But those two little ones, Are useless mouths all day. If she doesn’t sell the kids, How could she support her parents’ family? And that man outside? If you go over there, Just watch the scene. Whatever you do, don’t stop her. That whole family? Anyone involved faces trouble. Sigh. Those poor children—such suffering. Stop! Ye Lin! Stop! Ye Lin!

If you don’t save her soon, I’m afraid the fever will damage her brain. Come, come, Quick, come in. Okay. This place is a health clinic. Your sister has encephalitis. She’s going mad. Come in. After all this trouble, Yelin wasn’t here to sell her child. She came to the clinic for her child. She’s not that nice. A while back, Shen Heng had a fever and couldn’t work. she beat him up. Sent him to his grandma’s. His gran treated him. Who wants a sick child? She wants top dollar for him. She must get him treated. Once a thief, always a thief! Mom… I’m sorry. I didn’t know… you were trying to save Yanyan. I— Let me make it up to you. Enough. Time reveals a person’s heart. Let me tell you again: I never intended to sell my child. You’re all my children. I will raise you all up. That’s what you say! What about your family— Even the wild men outside Everyone pesters you for money Can you avoid selling? The child is sick That we can’t get a good price Otherwise, The original personality Of vicious selfishness Is truly deep-rooted in the village Child, Has a fever of 42 degrees Luckily, we got you here in time Otherwise, Your brain would be fried The fever shot was given Is now undergoing further tests You, don’t rush now Hmm She seems really worried Caring for my sister :: :: Could it be :: She just wants to save my sister And isn’t trying to sell her Could it be She’s really getting better :: Discovers that son Shen Jun Boosts host favorability Gratitude increased by five points. Only five? As expected, it’s a bit big. Not easy to pacify. It seems I’ll have to watch this kid and work harder. The child was just diagnosed with pneumonia. Must stay for observation. Hurry up and raise money. Hospitalized for pneumonia. That’s at least ten dollars. She won’t treat this child. Oh dear, I’m afraid. Alas. Mom. I beg you. Don’t give up on my sister. She’s only eight years old. How can she just die like this? Mom, I beg you. Please save her. I can return your money. I’ll go to work. I’ll beg for food. I’m even willing to sell myself. Mom. :: I’ll handle the money. You stay here with your sister. Mom What kind of person would abandon their daughter here? Stop shouting. She was clearly scared off. If I were her, I’d have run long ago. This money is for six months’ living expenses. Being a dead weight even got her disowned by her stepmother. Not to mention spending so much on treatment. Alas, this child has suffered so much. She lost her parents as a kid, met this wicked stepmother again Alas, life has truly been harsh on her. Please, I beg you. Please help my sister.

Look at these kids. They lost their father. Could you please stop giving them grief? Grandma. It was our fault for blaming Mom. She went to save her sister.

Mom will cook something tasty for lunch. Make do? But these things— Shouldn’t they go to Uncle’s? Good things before were always given to her family by the mother. The kids didn’t get a bite.

I’ll go work None of your concern But remember this If I find out you skipped school I’ll beat you to death She’s forcing us to go to school while she goes to work How’d she suddenly changed? No way Is this another scheme? Fine, we’ll go to school But we won’t eat this meal Otherwise you won’t have enough for three meals a day Nonsense Remember From now on, everyone at home eats three meals a day Not a single meal should be skipped.

Suddenly so nice to us… What is your real plan? There are many vendors in the city, so many sellers, surely I can exchange for something new in the panel. Mom, I’m back! Third Kid, stay and watch the house. Mom’s going to town. “Many vendors, so many sellers”… Is she going to the city? to find a buyer… to sell me and Fourth Kid? Oh no! Boss! Give me two pieces of meat. The kids at home love to eat. Got it. Hey hey. Alright. Leaving, boss. Not a penny left at home. Where did she get the money? Bought new clothes and meat! Even if she bought it, we wouldn’t get any. It will all go to uncle’s house. She went to the city— she must be looking for— a buyer who’ll offer more money. I knew it.

Quick, bring your sister here! Oh. Stop. Could it be… that she came wielding a knife not to attack us, but to… protect us? Yelin, You made me do it this way? Fine! As long as you stop them, sell Fourth Brother, help me pay my gambling debts I promise you— after Widow Liu, I’ll only come to you. Sure enough, She’s just using us.

If you hadn’t said sell the kid to pay my debts You think I’d look at you? Fine! Sever all ties! Let’s see how well you’ll survive without me. Hmph!

Looking for me Hmph Pfft Kneel down Hit me or scold me Just do it to me I was the one who angered Li Qiang Not related to Lao Er and Lao San I’m hitting you specifically As the eldest brother You brought your younger siblings To find that scoundrel What if in his anger He hurts you all?

Come back Your hair is so long Mom will wash it for you Okay Comfortable? Comfortable Oh She seems to have really changed for the better She treats us well now It feels really good Yeah These days Mom has been feeding us well Taking us to school She even fought with our uncles and their families for our sake. Even if she was pretending to put on an act, but this is above and beyond. Perhaps She truly cares for us. Only—— whether she can be good to us in the long run. Let me wash your hair too. Plain porridge Plain steamed buns Mom If we eat like this We won’t last for many meals Otherwise Me and Shen Heng Let’s go to work Shut up You two Go to school properly Don’t bring up the matter of working Mom is in the city found a job Food and drink You don’t need to worry Supporting you is no problem What A job in the city Mom You’re amazing You got a job in the city Making a big fuss Mom’s skills are a lot Hurry up and eat Mm-hmm Is anyone there Hello. Are you family of Shen Weilin? Ah. Yes. I’m his wife. Madam, hello. I’m county armed forces Here are Shen Weilin’s effects. They arrived just today. I brought them to you. Well. Do you want them buried where he sacrificed, or kept at home? Shen Weilin’s effects… He’s already dead. Why bring back these useless things? Bad omen. This Ye Lin had no affection at all for her late husband… Yet she never expected that Shen Weilin was not actually dead. Still became a great general. Yes. I know Shen Weilin. Where is he now? Why don’t I… Drop them a hint. Let Shen Weilin… Come back early. Comrade. I don’t believe… That Weilin is dead. Actually, these days… I’ve been dreaming about him. I dreamt that he told me… He was swept away by the flood. East of the mountain’s base. Saved by nearby villagers. He is still… In a coma. He has always hoped… I could go back to find him. Can I beg you… To help me find him. Please, I implore you. In this battle… Commander Shen’s contribution was indispensable. Sister-in-law. Since you asked… I’ll report it to my superiors. However,… Afraid I won’t find him. It’s fine. If I can’t find him… I’ll give up. Won’t bother the organization again. Okay. Sis-in-law, please wait for my news. We have work matters. We’ll head off first. Not sure… What does Shen Weilin look like? Their eldest son… At that age… his age… must be quite old. Must be an old man. Ah! No, no! An old man… Absolutely not! What? What old man? What “absolutely not”? Um… Sis. Mom wants you home. Zhang Shufen. She often bullied Ye Lin. Yesterday. hit her son and husband Can still today so gentle and kind Talk to me There must be something fishy I’ll go if she says I should. Who does she think she is? You– No. Just endure it. Endure it. Mom, it hurts here. Yelin actually hit you and our son. She brought along four kids. And kicked you both out. Hmm. Listen to this. When I got there, Yelin was hosting her four little burdens. They ate rice and meat. I said let Shuaishuai have a bite. She hit us. How dare she. How dare she hit my man and son. If I don’t teach her a lesson today, I won’t be Zhang. Stop! Don’t go. Mom. Your son and grandson are starving. She takes outsiders to eat meat. She hit them too. Can you take this insult? Swallow it I have to. She dares to do this? I’m guessing she must know that I plan to sell her about the Lin family’s son next door. Ah! Mom! You’re selling Sister to that eldest son? Hey, I heard their family is wealthy and powerful. How much are they paying you? This much. Fifty. That’s so much! Mom, I heard that he… That man is a pervert. He’s driven away several wives. Would Yelin even agree to this? Agree or not, she must. I’ve taken half the money already. That family is known as the village bully. Yelin will marry him whether she wants to or not. Ha ha ha! Sigh. Honestly though, I just want what’s best for her. I mean, really, better that than staying a widow. Wouldn’t it be better to marry into a good family early. Life may be tough, at least you won’t go hungry. Ah. As for you being beaten, just bear with it for now. If she agrees to this, hmph. When the time comes, Watch how I handle her. Mom is right. Well, it’s like this. Look at yesterday— you hit your nephew and brother. Mom was truly furious. But I thought we’re family. what issue can’t we sit down and talk calmly Let’s go back and talk. If it were just because of what happened last night, she would’ve been screaming obscenities long ago. How could she wait this long? She must be plotting something. Rather than run away and let her hurt me secretly, it’s better to see what they’re up to. Alright. I’ll go with you. Alright I’ll go with you. Ma You just hit uncle and cousin yesterday. Grandma won’t forgive you. If you insist on going, We’ll go with you. I don’t even know what the Ye family is up to. What kind of trouble are they going to cause this time? If there’s any danger, I can’t look after them. What can we do? Don’t even think about going. Stay home and study. Dare to skip class, I’ll beat you to death. Hmph Let’s go. Won’t Ma get beaten? Before, Ma would get beaten just for speaking loudly. Moreover, Yesterday she hit him. In that case, Shen Heng Later, you come with me. to take a look. Ah Hmm Yo Linzi Huh, you’ve grown some nerve Daring to lay hands on your own brothers and nephews from your maiden home Do I need to fetch you myself? What? Hmph Hiding some pension money means you can disregard the Ye family and your own mother Is that it? Ha! So you’ve dug quite deep into what little money I have, haven’t you? Tsk! How dare you say that! Huh? You lied to us gave us all the pension money But what’s the truth? Hah! Hmph Linzi You’re nothing but a widow who got her husband killed an unwanted widow who doesn’t side with her family Tch When you’re old let’s see who you’ll turn to You Yeah Ye Lin You secretly saving up that money spend on another man is one thing but spending so much to cure that kid What were you thinking? Huh? I’m asking you You expect them to care for you in old age and after your passing? Hmph Listen to me Take the money you’ve hidden and give it to your nephew Leave it to Shuaishuai He’s your own nephew In time he’s the one you’ll rely on to care for you in old age and after your passing Ugh We’re only thinking of what’s best for you You better show no appreciation Exactly Hey Money alone isn’t enough Listen You need to call those four over Kneel and apologize to me and Shuaishuai Got it? Our Ye Jun was just taking pity on you Someone like you who brought bad luck to her husband a widow like you is bad luck for anyone near her If not for Ye Jun you wouldn’t even get in Master manipulator, everyone But too bad I’m not the Ye Lin from before anymore Truth is the pension is gone Now I have nothing except these four children And let me tell you from now on you’ll never get anything from me again Mom Ye Lin is tearing all niceties between us Cut ties with your mother’s family Yelin Stop right there Do you know I will marry you off to the neighboring village. The matter of the Lin family’s son What You will marry that Cutie You’re selling me to that darling son of the village bully who’s mentally challenged and twisted Rumor has it his first wife was killed by his torture Families with daughters dodge him like the plague Yet she willingly offers her own flesh and blood Ye Lin Stop pretending You mean you didn’t know? Hey Didn’t know Mom’s marrying you off just like that After you dared to lay hands on my husband I’ve been holding back all this time! Tell me, Did you take the Lin family’s money? That Lin family— I pulled every string to find this match They’ve got many sons wealthy too In the city they even own My nephew is a high official Aiya Once you marry into that family you’ll live in comfort. I all this is for your own good! Answer me did you already accept their money? Why are you yelling? Just look at yourself a widow still dragging those four burdens day in and day out all you do is hang around that worthless gambler! Our Ye family can’t even lift our heads in this village because of you. I’ve told you Anyone at all so long as they’re willing to marry you you must marry them Ah exactly I say you shouldn’t keep waiting even if you keep giving him money to that gambler He won’t marry you. Look at you. all because of your wretched fate Don’t bother waiting around. Take any chance now and get married off quick. Exactly! No wonder you’ve all been so patient this time. So you’re trying to sell me off to be Cutie’s wife. Yelin, With family like you, I truly pity her. Hey, you— Tsk! Why are you so disrespectful? Hah! Right now those kids are still young, You can still scare them. But once they grow up, do you really think they’ll obediently follow your orders? Aiyo! By that time, you’ll be lucky if they don’t kill you. While you’re still young, marry someone rich. Have children of your own. By then, You still have something to hope for Oh I’m your mother Would I ever harm you? You Why don’t you understand All my heartfelt intentions? You, ah Exactly So this is how you are Using your mom’s status To so easily Sell out your own daughter You What are you saying? Isn’t this all For your own good? Ah The Lins’ son Though a bit simple-minded You’ll face some hardship marrying there But It won’t starve you to death Ah Our family can also benefit a little. You What more could you possibly be Dissatisfied with? Oh Dissatisfied Too late. Lin Jia is notoriously the village tyrant. Mom promised them. You have to marry whether you want to or not. She must have taken the village tyrant’s money. In this chaotic era, Even with system support, I won’t starve at best. Wanting to contend with the village bully and these troublemakers I am all alone. What should I do? Ah yes, Shen Weilin. He will soon return as a general. I’ll stall for time first. Within three days, He’ll come back to save me. If he doesn’t come back, I only have these three days to figure something out. Marry. Oh, It’s just getting married. what’s the big deal? But Give me a few days. I have to first go. Get rid of those kids of mine. Take care of them. Mom’s remarrying. She’ll get rid of us. Ouch Hahaha That’s the spirit. Don’t worry We’re your family. We wouldn’t do you wrong. As for those little darlings… since you’re remarrying anyway, you won’t need them anymore. Just sell them all darn well straightaway. Huh? What?! She wants to sell us all? Mom won’t agree again. will she? That’s right. I’ll go to the city soon. find a decent buyer, and sell them all. Oh. So that’s why the rumor in the village said you’d sell the younger two. It was the older two you’re selling too? Oh. Now I know why you’ve been so nice to him lately. Ah So it’s the honey before the slap. Exactly. This time you know why I hit you, right, Shuaishuai? I worked so hard to build his trust. You nearly destroyed it. Those kids of Shen Jun’s are all getting older now. Slowly becoming sneaky. What if they overhear you’re selling him? If he escapes, you’ll get nothing. Bro, trouble! Those brothers will definitely misunderstand again. Who is it? Oh. Nothing. Just the wind. These next few days, you all need to lay low with the kids. If anyone slips up, and they figure out we profit from him Keep running and what we’ll lose is tens of yuan bills— dozens of them! Agh! You’ll marry into the Lin family and have food and shelter. As for that money you won’t even need it. You must bring it back. Give it to your nephew. Later, he’ll support you in old age. We’ll talk after it’s sold. Hear that? Hey, Lin! You have three days. By the sixth this month— the Lins will come to take you as their bride. Don’t run anywhere else. Hmph! You— keep an eye on her. Go keep watch. If she runs away, not only will we lose the money, but we’ll also get in trouble. Alright. Third Brother Brother What? Third Brother, pack your things, quick. Got it. Hold on. Listen up, all of you. You’re orphans of martyrs, under state protection. If you face danger again, or if anyone tries to sell you off— even me— you must find the guard. He’ll protect you. Brother, what are you waiting for? Mom… wasn’t… that woman… is going to sell us all! Didn’t you hear? Mom’s selling us all! Impossible. Are you sure you heard right? We heard her tell Uncle and Grandma directly. My brother and I heard it. Brother? You’ve always been who distrusted her most This time… She admitted it. What are you waiting for, then? If she truly wanted to sell us, she wouldn’t have acted that way before. So, this time when she said she’d sell us all, I have a feeling she said it deliberately for Jiujiu and the others to hear. You two, Why aren’t you at school? Mom, are you… selling all of us? You heard what I said at the Liu family’s place, didn’t you? Yes. Not only are you remarrying, you’re also selling us off. Both my brother and I heard it clearly. It was only because they forced me to marry the perverted son of the village tyrant next door! I have no power or influence. Can’t take them head-on, right? That’s why I used you all as an excuse to buy some time, so I could figure out something else. Ugh… Never mind. Even if I told you guys, you wouldn’t believe it anyway. I believe you. Why would you believe me? Shouldn’t you be the last person to trust me? Why do you trust me? Aren’t you supposed to be the one who trusts me least? I… Actually, I don’t really trust you. Wait, I’ll tell the security to keep an eye on you. Anyway, for these three days, Don’t think about selling us out. Thank you. Thanks for trusting me. And thank you for listening to me. Good job this time. In the future, remember to report issues directly to security. They… They’re making you marry. You’re so scared of Grandma and Uncle, You’ll marry him, right? Ah! I already said it’s just to buy time. How could I possibly marry his perverted son! Where’s Lao Si? Give it to me. Give it back to me That was the peach shortbread my Mom bought for me Give it back to me That was the peach shortbread my Mom bought for me Give it back to me Yan Yan You’re just a stepmother Be glad I didn’t sell you. Why would I buy you peach shortbread? Even if I wanted to buy some where would the money come from? You don’t work at all How can you buy anything? I think you stole this! Wang Chunxia Stealing food from a child? Your greedy manner is truly disgusting Bullying our family no one to stand up for us? Ye Lin Stop pretending! You don’t work at all Where’d this peach shortbread come from? Don’t pretend you didn’t have her steal it for you I’m warning you Don’t let my child have any. I’ll snitch on you. And you won’t get to eat it either. Hmph. I didn’t plan to eat it. Go ahead. Share these with the guys. Peach pastry. Ye Lin. You’re really selfish! I… I’m going to report you. Someone, quick! Thief! Catch the thief! The Ye family… stole peach pastry from the co-op Someone, come quick! Help! Thief! The Ye Lin family Stole and ate peach pastries from the co-op. How dare you accuse me! I’ve acted… …as a shrew. How could I be afraid of you? I… Wang Chunxia. What are you doing? Bah! Who are you calling a thief? You’re the thief! Your whole family are thieves! You say we stole the peach cookies? Where are the peach pastries? Where are they? You just talk… …and accuse our family… …of a crime. I say you… …are shameless! Who… Who falsely accused you? Clearly, it was them… …who stole the peach pastries. I didn’t see it. I don’t admit it. Why do you bully like this? These fatherless children. Your conscience. Has been eaten by a dog? You’re still calling for people? And I’m calling too! Help, someone come! Ha! Wang Chunxia, bullying us few fatherless children. Ah! We were already pitiable, yet you still bully us! Still won’t you let us live? Granny Liu, I can’t out-argue you. I’ll report to the commune. Let the commune check on you. I’ll see How long can you keep this up? Son! Go! Ah! Ha! That’s fantastic! What I performed was too conservative. Hmph! The way. Yelin If you run out of food, just come get some from home. I still have a bag of coarse rice left. These children… They’re still so young. How could you let them steal? Grandma, we… didn’t steal anything. The taosu pastries were given to us by Mom. Mom also bought us some meat. And steamed rice too. How is that possible? She worked every day. she still couldn’t possibly afford all those things. Never mind. That Wang Chunxia bears grudges like no other. After you offended her today, later on, she’s sure to make trouble for you. You and the children need to be extra careful. Try to spend less. Sigh. Misfortune strikes here. Indeed. This village is full of trouble. There’s no one protecting me. Shen Weilin is still not back yet. Even with a system, the children can’t even have a peaceful meal. I really want the kids to live a good life. So I can escape this arranged marriage. Going to the city is the best way for now. Weilin You’re awake. Weilin Where am I? Commander. Weilin During this battle to protect state secrets, you leaped off the cliff. Our soldiers looked for you for three days but couldn’t find you. Therefore, we had no choice but to inform your family that you had fallen. However, your wife begged us many times to search once more at the mountain’s base. So that very night, our rescue team still, indeed found you below. Villagers had rescued you. Commander, Regiment, You told my wife and kids I’ve sacrificed myself? Rest assured, I’ve sent someone to write home. The situation has been explained. You should just focus on your recovery. The higher-ups have already decided to confer upon you the rank of general. After the commissioning ceremony, Someone will take you back. Ye Lin is, after all, my stepmother; She doesn’t care much for me. If news of my death reaches home, Can she treat my four children well? Hmm. Hey. This… Commander. Regarding the conferment of my rank, Could you send it directly to the county? I’m very worried my four children. I must go back early. Sigh. I understand your feelings. For General Shen, buy the next train ticket. Accompany the General back to his hometown. At the same time, the matter of the military rank must also be expedited. Best when the General returns home, both the medal and the rank insignia should arrive simultaneously. Yes. Thank you, Chief. The children are waiting for me. I’m not dead yet. I’ll be back soon. System! System! Can you help me calculate— How much gratitude do I have left? Gratitude detected. Total: five hundred fifty. So many! You all— —come here right now. By now all of you already know— Your father is dead. Anyone in the village can bully us. This hardship— —has completely disrupted— —our normal lives. If we want to keep— —our studies going— —meals uninterrupted— We must leave this place. Go to the city. You— —are you willing— Take us to the city. As for me, I’ve found a job in the city. Supporting all of you won’t be a problem. The real question now is Do you trust me? Shen Jun, you take this money and go to your grandma’s place. Give your aunt one yuan daily. They definitely won’t drive you away then. But remember this— you absolutely must not hand over all the money to your aunt-in-law at once. Fifty yuan should last fifty days. Shen Weilin will surely return by then. Then… what about you? I… I’m going to the city tomorrow. I’ll find a place to stay. so the Liu family can’t find me.

Everyone knows… You’re already dead! In the military… …you’re long forgotten! Honestly! Now you… You’re just a useless piece of shit. My daughter has to tag along with you. What kind of life could she have? Get out of here right now! The Liu family marries off our daughter Don’t interfere! Hah! What life would she have with me? As a general’s wife. Does that satisfy you? You… You… What did you say? You… you’re what? I will soon be granted the rank of General. Ye Lin is the General’s wife. Lin Zhiqiang, I showed who I was to stop you from making a bigger mistake. Now, I’m taking my wife home. Move aside. Huh? Yo. General? Aiyo. Ha ha ha. Oh dear. Shen Weilin, You think too highly of yourself. Huh? Just look at your Shen family, poverty-stricken for generations. Are you meant to be a general? Ha! Now look at yourself. just a raw rookie. You lack connections. no background. And you, a general? Oh please! You’re so boastful. Hey, hey! Don’t say you’re not a general. Even if you are, in our remote, backwoods area, no matter your rank, or how mighty a dragon you are, you must coil up. Exactly! That’s right! You all, take him away! Get him out! Get him out of here! Leave the Hua bride here. Hey, Dashu! Relax. I only knocked him out. Lin Zhiqiang! This is your last chance. Let us go. Guards! Bring Dashu inside. Hurry! Hurry! Shen Weilin!

You only wanted me to marry him Shen Weilin had a steady income. That was your only reason. Now you want the Lin family’s wealth, want me to remarry him young gentleman. Forget it. I just wanted… I just wanted a better life for you! Wasn’t I trying to give you a good life? Spare me your hypocrisy. You don’t deserve to be a mother. From today onward, I’m not related to the Ye family. Don’t expect take advantage of me ever again. She used to put her birth family first, blind to right and wrong, now she sees clearly. After three years apart, has she changed? How… how dare you! I am your mother! You can’t just disown me. It won’t be that easy. Parents-in-law, Yelin is sold to your family. Let her serve your Lin family. Learn the rules properly. Hmph Rest assured. I will take you away. I have served in the army for many years. If I want to go, With just you people, you still can’t stop me. Is that so? We can’t stop you. And what about your son? Shen Jun Father Is it you?

Simple You leave this place so my cousin can properly marry If you want to eavesdrop, I’ll save you a good spot She’s just a woman Save your son first Hey boys! Waiting to crash the wedding chamber! Ha ha ha! Or you could also wait until my pals have had their fun then take her back Just wonder if she has the strength get out of bed haha You bastards! This is absolutely outrageous. I’ll count to three. If you don’t leave right away, I’ll kill him. Barren lands breed villains. I never imagined after traveling through time, I’d die from their ignorance. My death doesn’t matter much. At worst, I’ll return to my real world. But their good days have just begun. Wait. Let him go. I’m willing to marry. You go. Didn’t she dislike these children before? Now she’d accept blackmail for their sake. Is this still the Ye Lin I knew before? Go now. Alright. Release Shen Jun. I’ll leave. Ah So handsome Stop Stop him Who dares? Minister Li You’re here Minister What minister? Can come to our godforsaken place? What nonsense Stop scaring me Audacious This is City Armed Forces Director You’d better watch your mouth Bah You are Lin Zhiqiang, right? You took hostages. Forced soldiers’ families to remarry. Do you really think in this world There is no law? Minister Li, isn’t it? Your rank doesn’t justify wronging us. We common folks. Ye Lin here was a widow before Shen Weilin arrived. She was a widow. Our Lin family married her properly. With parental consent. Where does this “forced marriage” accusation come from? Isn’t that right, Aunt Li? Yes. The news of Shen Weilin’s death was reported by you. My daughter is still young. She can’t mourn forever. A matchmaker approached us. How could my daughter *not* remarry? And be stuck with these four kids? Her whole life? Minister Li, our bureau chief has a special relationship with your general. I often greet him for our bureau chief. Alright. Next time I go to the city and see him, I’ll mention your hard work in inspecting grassroots work. I’ll tell him. Look. You’re so busy with work, these trivial domestic matters— please don’t bother yourself with them. You know our General? Ah… I’m the Director’s favorite. I’ve met all sorts of people. Minister Li, you hurting my arm I can let it slide. Be sensible, take your men, and leave quickly. General, He says he knows you. Tell me— should I give him deference? Huh? What to call him? Shen Weilin General Shen How? Not the one you know. Weilin Son My son really became a general? Am I not dreaming? Mom This isn’t a dream. I didn’t die. I performed meritorious deeds for the country. I didn’t shame our Shen family. Wow My dad became a general? So awesome! Hey Mom Why aren’t you surprised at all? Uh I It’s because I’m too surprised. So surprised I can’t speak. Ha Impossible He’s just a soldier. How come after dying once, Can he be a general? I don’t believe it. In this remote and poor countryside, how could such a big figure possibly appear? Hey, Bozi He’s definitely lying I suspect right now that this Minister Li is fake too Fake, fake, fake Shut up Hmph Ignorant fool Unrepentant Such people will be dealt with sooner or later We need not bother with him Shen Weilin defended state secrets with his life with outstanding merit is hereby conferred the rank of Senior General Have local security take these people away Security Hmph Security that can take away Lin family members is yet to be born Minister Li General Shen just returned and may not know our director but surely you recognize him In here… It’s all a misunderstanding. Look, Our Lin family doesn’t mind. The General’s wife will be returned. Let’s drop it for today. Just think of it as giving me give our director face. Is that okay? Chen Bo, You have quite a lot of face. Mom How are you? Shen Heng Did you call the chief? Shen Heng Dad You Aren’t you supposed to be dead? This What’s going on? Dad isn’t dead after all He even earned merits And became a general From now on we’ll be A general’s sons Really? Mm-hmm General In the city I’ve met every general Yet I’ve never seen you before Chief, you— Why have you come personally? Since you invoked my name How could I not come? Chief, I’m deeply honored You still know her, right? She took my uncle’s money Said they’d marry my cousin But then just ran away Luckily I caught her and bring her back. As soon as Minister Li arrived, he made this man a general and accused us of forcing the general’s wife into marriage. They want to arrest us all. This is all a misunderstanding. You must help me resolve this situation. Director. I’ve heard about you for a long time. Never expected we’d meet here. I’m Li Ze from Armed Forces. This gentleman has rendered meritorious service to the nation recently promoted general He hasn’t taken office in the city yet. so you wouldn’t know him. Director. They’re just abusing their power, trying to take us away. They don’t care about you. You can’t let them off lightly! How could someone like you appear in our police station? This is utterly disgraceful. Over the years outside. Haven’t you caused trouble using my name? Director, I didn’t do it! They heard I’m your subordinate, They showed some awe. It’s because you’re all-powerful. That’s why, Abusing power, Without repentance, Damaged my reputation. Deserving death ten thousand times. Director, I didn’t do it! When the Lin family married Ye Lin She was a widow. Who knew her husband came back. The Lin family had no choice. Offend the General. I had no choice but to mention you. You bringing me out, Ruined my reputation. This isn’t your worst mistake. What you should least have done, Is leading the villagers, To take Ye Lin away. Ye Lin, Could it be that time, She went to your room, you two? Ah! Director! I was wrong. I had no idea Yelin belonged to you. If I’d known, I wouldn’t dare even if beaten to death! Scoundrel! The bureau chief came from the city to save her. Could it be… Are they really involved? When I spoke with the chief, Your four children were there. I have no connection with the chief. They can all testify. Exactly. The chief only wanted Mom to work at the Foreign Ministry. I saw Yelin was a rare talent. fluent in four foreign languages— so I nominated her for the Foreign Affairs Ministry. Didn’t expect she’d almost fall for you! If… you forced yourself on her here, do you realize the damage and even to all of Rongcheng even for the whole of Rongcheng? What? One year married, She never looked me in the eye. She wouldn’t let me near her. I never got to know her. Who knew she spoke four languages? Sigh. Bozi, aren’t you the Chief’s favorite? Ask him again! Our Lin family cannot be taken away! Otherwise, where would the Lin family’s face be? Do you still want it or not? We do want that face! Uncle, I’ve risked my life to help you! Chief, considering how long I’ve served in the bureau— if not merit, then my hard work— please forgive me this once! I— I will I will apologize to Ye Lin! All Lin family members, every one of you, kneel now! Apologize to Ye Lin! Apologize to General Shen! Ye Lin, I beg you. Plead with our director for me. I was wrong. Forgive me this time. I’ll kneel down to you. I admit my mistake. Because of you, the Lin Family bullies in the village. If I forgive you this time, in the future, how many will you drag down, dragged down by the Lin Family? Chen Bo Trafficking in women Oppressing the people and bullying women As a police officer Knowing the law but breaking it An even heavier crime Struck off the duty roster Held by local police To be sentenced later Hey, Bozi Bozi You can’t fall now Our Lin family relies on your reputation Find a wife for your cousin I still want to live to see my grandson Director Just a woman? Our Lin family will write her off Why treat my nephew like this? Minister Li Never thought our police station Would harbor such scum Bringing harm to the community I’m truly ashamed Guards! Take them all away Come with me Get lost! Director Thank you. You’re welcome Saving you was just my duty Now that you’ve become Madam General will you still join the foreign ministry?

Okay I’ll sing a line, then you repeat it. ABCD EFG ABCD EFG Weilin What’s wrong, Mom? Back then, her mother only saw your salary forced her to marry into our family stepmother to these four kids You were gone for three years, she alone pulled four kids along. People in the village all thought she was trouble. They avoided her like the plague. She had no choice but to endure it. Maybe from resentment, she scolded and abused the children. I thought she’d stay like this forever, but now it seems she might have had an awakening. You see, she took ten yuan to treat the Fourth Child’s illness, and for the children’s sake, She ended things with her fling. She even cut ties with her family. She treats them like her own kids. It’s better to raise these kids up so they can care for her in old age. Look how close the children are to her now. By the way, now that you’ve returned, cherish your life with her Her closeness to the children is natural. But she hated me so much. I want to live well with her. Would she be willing? You just got back You must be tired today as well Rest first, I’m going back. Mom, I’ll pick you up early tomorrow. Ah Mom is sleepy today Shen Jun Take your younger siblings Go to sleep Ah Okay, okay, okay Come on, let’s go go go Go back to sleep now.

Of course not, I’m not okay Um… Sorry about that. I didn’t mean to. It’s fine. I was willing. What? You. Didn’t you always… hate me? I used to believe… that you ruined my life. If it weren’t for you… my mother wouldn’t… have forced me to marry you. Making me become… a stepmother… to four kids at such a young age. But ever since… the news of your death in battle… reached me… that’s when I realized… I was so sad. Actually, deep inside… You were always in my heart. That’s why… you said… you often dream of me. That’s what made you insist… on searching for me again. Only then insist strongly To go search and rescue me again Mm, yes And it’s since losing you I became a nuisance everyone hates Then I saw through many people It turns out Only you respect me most in this world Treat me best So now I Have figured it out Even if you died in battle I will still raise the four children Raise them well Make those in the village Who look down on me All regret it Yelin You’ve suffered so much I truly live up to being an actor The reason for this sudden change Comes easily I almost believed it myself Don’t worry In the future, I will definitely make The children live well In the future, we Together as a family Will definitely get better and better Uh Well I I should take the floor Why? Didn’t we just sort it out? Uh, well Afraid I… wouldn’t be able to control myself and wear you out No worries I don’t mind Remember you said that. What? Shen Weilin is alive. And became a general. Right. Otherwise, relying on Ye Lin, Ye Lin. That bad woman. How could she take me and our mom, And the whole Lin family, Locked up in the police station. What? Took both of you away. How dare Ye Lin. Sigh. Ye Lin, that bad woman. Don’t know when. Relied on a big chief from the city. Alright. Now even the chief protects her, But also the general’s wife. Dares not only to lock us up, And cut ties with us. Humph. She is Li Cuihua’s daughter. She has my blood. Wants to cut ties with me. Ah, no way! Mom. You’re right. Ye Lin she now. But she’s a general’s wife! She earns much more than before. As for her money, it must be delivered on time. Furthermore, she’s not allowed to give any to our Ye Jun. What does a minister do? does nothing good for our family. She just wants to sever ties. She’s dreaming! Exactly! Let’s go. I want to see her now. Ah You What’s wrong with you? It’s all your fault Last night Well then Then I At night Be gentle Tonight we still have to… Just kidding You’re already like this If I keep going Wouldn’t that make me a bad person? Hurry up Come eat something Ah Oh no I still… Can… That’s not right In this famine year You’re not going to work There’s a hidden bag of rice at home And twenty-odd eggs Where’d you get these? Where else could they come from? I earned them Working as a translator That’s how. Where else could it be from? I earn money as a translator. I made it myself. You’ve worked hard. Ye Lin, You ungrateful wretch! You ungrateful wretch! Ungrateful daughter! Get out here, you… Get out here! I knew it. You’d never give up. Hey… Th-this… Is that Shen’s second son? Whoa! Isn’t he dead? How come he’s standing here alive? And became a general too? Heard he survived, even earned merits. Got appointed as a general. Ye Lin married a general. Logically, the Liu family… should be fawning over them. Why start yelling so early? Exactly! Ye Lin, After your husband died, it was your blood family… Caring for you and the child isn’t You’ve made it big now Want to live in the city So you forgot your parents And your own brother Oh, dear neighbors! Oh! This Oh my! What’s the meaning of this! That unfilial daughter Yelin! She became the general’s wife She’s ashamed of her own mother Thinks I’d disgrace her! She’s going to disown me. She’d be better off not doing this. As the General’s wife, at least when I grow old, My daughter won’t look down on me. Yelin, you’re the General’s wife now. You don’t need your mom’s food. Why must you disown the Liu family? That’s right, Yelin. Your mother gave birth to you. And she’s helped you so much these years. Don’t be ungrateful. You go inside first. Let me talk to them. Don’t worry. Hey, what are you going inside for? Let me tell you something. If you don’t give us a proper explanation today, without explaining to the Lin family, We’ll make trouble in the city. I’ll make sure your army unit knows that you’re nothing but a parent-abandoning, ungrateful wretch. Why should I hide? You should hide. Today, I’ll show the villagers Who is really ungrateful Why are you here again? Avoiding them won’t solve anything. Those ingrates must be dealt with sooner or later. Ye Jun Li Cuihua Zhang Shufen In this world, just because someone throws a tantrum doesn’t mean they’re in the right. All these years you’ve drained me. every penny is recorded here.
