"Task completed, do you wish to enter the next world?"
"Yes."
"Daddy, is that Mom? Why is Mom ignoring Shuaishuai?" Ye Qiu had just regained his composure when he was distracted by the child at his feet, then he followed the child’s gaze.
She was a fashionably dressed woman, wearing a white blouse and a pair of black nylon pants, an outfit that was the most common match of this era, yet she wore it with a sense of elegance.
Unlike some of the more unconventional young people of this era who dyed their hair, her hair was not long, just a bit past her shoulders, tied up with a handkerchief at the back of her head, chic and full of character.
She also wore a pair of small leather shoes, with a touch of lipstick on her lips, like a student who had returned from studying abroad.
But who knew that a month ago, she was a farmer’s wife, toiling away with her back to the sky each day? And she had a three-year-old son, didn’t she?
This was Ye Qiu’s ex-wife, Cai Juhua, but now she no longer goes by that name; after divorcing Ye Qiu a month ago, she changed her name to Cai Baoqin.
Cai Baoqin glanced in this direction, and quickly looked away with a disdainful expression, ruthlessly closing the car door.
Their son, Ye Shuai, immediately started bawling for his mother, and was picked up by Ye Qiu.
"Actually, I don’t mind if you bring Shuaishuai over," a stern-faced man inside the car said to Ye Qiu, frowning.
"It’s not necessary," said Cai Baoqin hastily, and feeling that her response seemed too heartless, she continued, "Shuaishuai is a seed of the Ye Family, they wouldn’t give him to me to raise even if they were poverty-stricken, and we also have Rourou now. With Shuaishuai as well, I’m afraid I won’t be able to take care of everyone."
After listening, the man didn’t persuade her further: "Just make sure you’ve thought it through, let’s go. From now on, you’ll have nothing to do with the Ye Family. It’s lucky that I met you; otherwise, you would have been buried in this small mountain village."
"I’m also very lucky to have met you," Cai Baoqin held the man’s hand, looking out the window at the slowly passing scenery, she suddenly realized that she was really leaving this place, the place where she had suffered for a lifetime in her past life.
Indeed, Cai Baoqin had been reborn. She came back when her beautiful face had acquired many wrinkles and her delicate hands had turned into calloused ones. Although it wasn’t the best of times, she was still content.
At this point, her spirit had yet to be ground down, and she hadn’t yet become a yellow-faced woman. Even though she was already married to that farmer and their child had been born, it wasn’t impossible to get away.
So she tried every possible means to divorce that man and then met her current husband. From the first glance, she knew he was not a simple character, and luckily, her gamble paid off, making him fall in love with her, and he didn’t even mind her divorced status.
Cai Baoqin now felt completely at ease, even the sorrow of leaving her son Ye Shuai just now had dissipated by a large extent.
Her eyes blinked, a hint of guilt flashing by. She continuously comforted herself, no, she wasn’t wrong.
In her previous life, to ensure her son could find a wife, she toiled her whole life, and in her old age, she faced disdain from her daughter-in-law. She owed nothing to her son; the debt of raising him had been paid off in her last life.
Now, she is Cai Baoqin, not the Cai Juhua from her previous life. She would never again toil in this poor mountain village for a lifetime. She was now going to explore the vast world outside. At this era, the country had just begun to rise, and she had great opportunities waiting for her to showcase her abilities. Perhaps once she achieved success in her career, she would give her son a sum of money to help him find a wife. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Ye Qiu watched the departing car coldly, then holding his son Ye Shuai, he whispered comfortingly, "Don’t cry, our Shuaishuai shouldn’t cry. Daddy is here, we’ll go buy some treats, and then go see your uncles, okay?"
No matter how sensible, Ye Shuai was still a three-year-old child and gradually stopped crying at the mention of treats.
As Ye Qiu walked, he started to recall the plot of this world.
Having experienced so many worlds, he was still known as Ye Qiu. It’s unclear whether this was a scheme of the System or related to his true identity; either way, it wasn’t time to probe into it yet.
In this life, he was a farmer in a mountainous area, and in a routine fashion, at twenty years old, he married eighteen-year-old Cai Juhua. Back then, the Cai Family was poor and demanded a dowry of one hundred yuan. However, the Ye Family was also poor, without any adults at home besides two younger brothers who were growing up. With such family conditions, other than the Cai Family, no one was willing to marry their daughter to him.
Although one hundred yuan was a bit more than the local bride price, Ye Qiu, wanting a woman of the house, worked night and day. Along with his brothers’ frugality, it took three months plus previous savings to gather the one hundred yuan dowry.
The Cai Family only gave Cai Juhua a quilt as a dowry, so when the couple got married, they were truly destitute. The couple and the two younger brothers barely had enough to eat.
It was Ye Qiu who felt sorry for his wife and went to the mountains every day to find food, ensuring Cai Juhua didn’t go hungry. However, during that time, Ye Qiu and his brothers lost several pounds from hunger.
As they slowly got along, Cai Juhua realized Ye Qiu’s kindness and gradually stopped despising him. She even took on the household chores and kitchen duties. Although it wasn’t much, the three men in the house felt a lot more relaxed and were satisfied with her, and Ye Qiu even handed her the reins of the family finances, easing the family’s economic burden.
But this good life only lasted three years before things changed. She stopped cleaning the other rooms, using the excuse of her brothers-in-law growing up, and gradually stopped going to the kitchen whenever someone was at home. She hardly took care of Ye Qiu’s and her child, Ye Shuai, to the extent that Ye Qiu had to bring the child along when he went to work in the fields.
Ye Qiu noticed the changes in her and thought she envied the other families’ brick houses, so he worked even harder. His brothers even thought about dropping out of school to save more money, but Ye Qiu firmly refused.
However, his efforts did not change Cai Juhua’s mind. She began to dress like city folk, frequently visiting the county for shopping, until one day after returning from the city, she seemed distracted.
Her gaze at Ye Qiu also shone with calculating light, and then, one day, when Ye Qiu returned from a meal at someone else’s home, he was caught in bed with Yu Xiaolin, the neighboring Yu Family’s somewhat silly girl.
Cai Juhua blew up the incident, tarnishing both Ye Qiu’s and Yu Xiaolin’s reputations, then took the opportunity to divorce Ye Qiu and changed her name to Cai Baoqin.
