Chapter 556: The Hot-tempered Young Wife Captures the Warm-hearted and Handsome Factory Director 4
Lin Yi took a sip of soup and watched the two little ones wolfing down their food. A wave of emotion welled up in her heart, and she couldn't help but sigh to Tang Yuan, "These two little ones are so lucky! They have such a stepmother like the original owner, and yet they've been able to live safely from just a few months old until now. How lucky are they?"
"Master, the original owner was actually quite nice to Xiaoyu and Huanhuan at first. Although she used some tricks to manipulate Pei Jingping into marrying him, after marriage, she also sincerely wanted to live a good life with Pei Jingping. It's just that her initial approach was too right. Pei Jingping only gave the original owner enough financial support. After so many years, this body is still a virgin!"
Tang Yuan's words made her instinctively look at the body she was currently possessed in. Her figure was curvy and the proportions were perfect. Although her face was not stunningly beautiful, it was pretty, and her facial features were matched just right.
Lin Yi muttered to herself, how on earth did Pei Jingping do it? For more than five years, facing such a wife, he could actually resist touching her? Could it be that he was not good at that?
"Master, what are you thinking about?" Tangyuan seemed to see through Lin Yi's thoughts and continued.
"The original owner's family are all difficult characters. They come to make a fuss and ask for money every few days. Once, in order to get more money, they even did something unethical like blocking Pei Jingping and preventing him from taking his sick child to the hospital. Put yourself in their shoes. If you were Pei Jingping, with such a wife and such a mother-in-law and family, could you accept the original owner?" Tang Yuan's tone was full of disgust for the original owner's extremely bad family members.
Lin Yi frowned and asked in confusion: "Didn't the original owner plan to live a good life with Pei Jingping? Then how could she allow her family to do such evil things? She is simply courting death! What is she thinking?" Lin Yi really couldn't understand the original owner's train of thought.
"The original owner obeyed her mother's every word. Every time her mother came to ask for money, she would use the banner of doing good for the original owner and act unreasonable and throw a tantrum in front of Pei Jingping." Tangyuan explained helplessly.
Lin Yi couldn't help but complain in her heart. This family was really maddening, each one more unreasonable than the other.
She then asked curiously, "Has Pei Jingping never thought about divorcing the original owner and ending this terrible marriage over the years? I'm really curious how this man has endured it all these years. If it were me, I would have given up long ago."
"How could he not have thought about it? I guess he's thinking about divorce all the time." Tang Yuan paused, then continued helplessly, "But every time Pei Jingping mentioned divorce, the original owner's family and relatives would come over to make a scene. They even went to Pei Jingping's factory to make a scene, preventing it from operating normally. Pei Jingping was so annoyed by them that he finally gave up and simply ignored the original owner's existence. The original owner had no place to vent his resentment, so he took it out on the innocent child."
Tang Yuan paused helplessly, as if trying to calm herself down, before continuing, "The original owner couldn't get up this time because she was spanking the child when her foot suddenly slipped and she accidentally hit her head. She struggled to get into bed, but ended up falling asleep, and then you came."
After hearing this, Lin Yi finally understood the whole story. But after understanding it clearly, she felt overwhelmed and frantic.
What kind of family had I been possessed by? A worthless village girl, a husband who treated me like a stranger and treated me like a cold and violent stranger, and a family that was like leeches, impossible to shake off and only knew how to suck my blood. How was I supposed to live my life from now on?
The more Lin Yi thought about it, the more depressed she became. She stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth with a vicious expression, as if she had some deep hatred for the meat.
This scared the two children who were eating happily. They put down their chopsticks in unison, not daring to breathe and not taking another bite.
Lin Yi finally came to her senses and looked at the two silent children, feeling guilty. Oh, how could she have forgotten about these two little guys?
Since she was here, she had to make the best of it. Since she had taken over this body, she had to take on the responsibility of taking care of them. She secretly swore in her heart that she would make sure the two children had a good life in the future, and everything would slowly get better!
"Eat quickly, and then go back to clean up our pigsty-like home!" Although Lin Yi's tone was still a little fierce, there was a bit more tenderness and concern in her eyes.
The two children, as if granted amnesty, quickly picked up their chopsticks and began to eat voraciously. After dinner, Lin Yi took them to buy some cleaning supplies, ready to go home and get to work.
It was only when she really started to clean up that Lin Yi truly realized the hardships of life in this era. As she laboriously cleaned, she yearned for modern, fully automated appliances.
When it got dark, Lin Yi looked at the large basin of dirty clothes and bed sheets waiting for her to wash. She felt like half her life was gone. She was so tired that her back and waist ached and she didn't even want to move a finger.
Just as Lin Yi was slumped on the sofa pretending to be dead, two little guys, one wearing one of Lin Yi's floral shirts and barefoot, walked over cautiously.
"Mom, I'm hungry!" Huanhuan said timidly to Lin Yi, her voice small, with a hint of expectation and fear.
Lin Yi looked at the time. It was almost eight o'clock in the evening. The lunch she had eaten at two or three in the afternoon had indeed been almost digested by now. The children were in the growth stage, so they couldn't be left hungry.
"Wait, I'll cook you a bowl of noodles!" Lin Yi sat up from the sofa with difficulty, took heavy steps, and walked into the kitchen step by step.
There were ready-made dried noodles in the kitchen, so Lin Yi simply made three bowls of noodles with scallion oil. She had originally thought of putting a poached egg on the noodles to give the children some nutrition, but after searching the entire kitchen, she found that there was not even a single egg at home, so she had no choice but to give up.
It was just a simple bowl of noodles with scallion oil, but the two little ones were so satisfied with the meal, their faces were filled with happy smiles.
After dinner, they took the initiative to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes, their small figures busy in the kitchen. Seeing them so sensible, Lin Yi felt warm in her heart and just wanted to be nicer to them.
So, after Lin Yi sent the two little ones to bed, she started to wash clothes again. Putting everything else aside, the children's clothes were all dirty, not a single one was presentable, and they were waiting to be worn tomorrow, so they had to be washed.
By the time Lin Yi finished all this, it was already past ten o'clock. She collapsed on the bed exhausted, but her mind was still working fast because she still had to think about the family's food and clothing tomorrow.
Following Tangyuan's instructions, Lin Yi unearthed all the hidden money the original owner had hidden. She counted it, and it was not bad—a total of twenty-three yuan and sixty-three cents. In the low-priced 1980s, this amount was barely enough to sustain a month's life, so she didn't have to worry about going hungry for the time being.
Lin Yi finally climbed into bed and went to sleep peacefully. Perhaps because she was too tired, or perhaps because the heavy stone in her heart had been lifted off the ground for a while, she slept very soundly.
Early the next morning, Lin Yi was awakened by a series of rapid knocks on the door.
