I was a stepmother in ancient times, and I led my whole family to wealth.

Chapter 6 Memories

"Why would I look down on them?" Dongfang Jin asked, looking at him with confusion.

Does this person have paranoia?

"You...you don't want your own child?" Gu Chenglin asked tentatively.

Dongfang Jin glanced at him and said, "Get lost. You already have children, a boy and a girl. That's auspicious. You have both a son and a daughter."

Remember this: I will never have a child with you. Don't even think about it. Give up on that idea now.

Damn, how did she end up talking about having children? This topic has gone a bit off track.

"Then what about you...?" What will you do when you get old? It's always better for a woman to have a child to rely on. But Gu Chenglin didn't say these words aloud, because he could already see the anger in this man's eyes.

For some reason, he really didn't want to make her angry, a feeling he had never had before.

"What, you still want a child? Do you know how much it costs to raise a child? If you want one, go have one yourself."

"Once I find somewhere to go, we'll get a divorce, and you can go find whoever you want," Dongfang Jin said, getting angrier and angrier. She didn't know where her anger came from.

Now I wish I could bite a piece of Gu Chenglin off to vent my anger.

Seeing that she was really angry, Gu Chenglin felt a sense of panic: "No, I wanted to ask, don't you want a child of your own?"

Dongfang Jin stood up abruptly, one hand on her hip and the other pointing at Gu Chenglin: "Damn it, can't you understand human language? Don't you have a child? Why should I have another child?"

Seeing her actions, Gu Chenglin found her somewhat adorable and wanted to reach out and hug her. But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he was startled: "I meant your own."

When Dongfang Jin saw that he was still asking questions, she was so angry that she wanted to kick him. But when she saw him move his injured leg, she put her foot down again: "Mine? I don't want it, absolutely not."

I'll say it again: if you want children, then let's get a divorce, a mutual divorce. You can find someone else to have children with. I'm not having any, not even if it kills me!

Gu Chenglin suppressed the pounding in his heart and quickly tried to soothe him, saying gently, "Let's not talk about these things. I'll pick up the kids tomorrow. Do you want to stay home by yourself, or come with me?"

Yes, at that moment he understood his own heart; he liked the person in front of him.

Thinking of Stone's mother, he didn't feel the same way about her...

Dongfang Jin had no idea what he was thinking. If she did, she would definitely call him a scumbag!

Dongfang Jin sat down and waved her hand, "You go by yourself, I'm not going."

He went to his father-in-law's house to pick up the child, what's the point of her going along? No way!

Gu Chenglin glanced at the earthen bed, then stood up: "Okay, then you should go to sleep early. I'll sleep in the room next door."

It's not the right time yet; we need to resolve the current situation. But we should wait a bit longer. We can't take those things out yet, or his mother won't let him off the hook.

Thinking of something... a surge of anger rose in his heart... He will find out the truth.

Dongfang Jin pointed to the lamp and said, "Okay, but you have to take this lamp away. I can't stand the smell; it's suffocating me."

Gu Chenglin glanced at the oil lamp: "Okay, call me if you need anything."

"understood."

Dongfang Jin watched him walk out, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she heard light coming from the room next door.

The partition wall was just a few wooden planks? And looking at the "bed" under me, it had been downgraded again, from an earthen kang to a stone one.

The floral quilt with the double happiness symbol was just big enough to cover the kang (heated brick bed), barely enough for her to sleep on by herself.

Once the lights in the next room went out, she disappeared onto the kang (a heated brick bed).

Seeing that the body that entered this time was no longer transparent, Dongfang Jin ran straight into the house without a care and excitedly jumped into the bathtub where the bathwater had already been prepared.

Lying in the bathtub, so comfortable! This is the kind of life a person should live.

It's no place for a human to live outside.

After taking a nice, relaxing shower, I threw the clothes the original owner was wearing into the washing machine.

She put on her original clothes, as if she were wearing a theatrical costume, and decisively took scissors and shortened the clothes a bit.

She went to the kitchen to comfort her stomach.

He took a sandwich from the refrigerator, then, remembering the original owner's description of his skinny frame, he opened the refrigerator and took out a carton of milk.

Just as she was about to close the refrigerator door, she noticed something was wrong. She discovered that where the sandwiches had been, there was now another box of identical sandwiches.

Oh my god! Go away... I looked down at the milk in my hand and realized that there was no extra milk in the dispenser.

I suddenly remembered that she had closed the refrigerator door after taking the sandwich.

Thinking about it, she took out two more cartons of milk, closed the door, waited a while, and then opened it again.

Sure enough, two cartons of milk appeared in the milk section.

Wow! Is that amazing?

What about the other things in the refrigerator? Thinking about it, I put the sandwiches and milk aside and opened all the refrigerators and freezers.

Then he took some things out of it: a frozen steak and a box of ice cream.

She closed it, then opened it again, and sure enough, it was exactly as she had expected. For every amount she took out, there was just as much more inside.

This is amazing! Without relying on anything else, just these few refrigerators and freezers are enough for her to reach the pinnacle of life in ancient times.

But she put it back—no, she planned to eat it all tonight.

She wanted to give this body extra nutrition; she wanted to gain weight and grow taller quickly.

This body is not only thin, but also too short. She wants to grow back to her original 170cm height and regain her curves... and long legs.

As I ate, I thought of my family. Were they really just superfluous?

Both my parents are only children, but they are not only children of one family; they are the only two children left in both families.

My maternal grandparents and paternal grandparents were all members of the generation that participated in the war. The children in their family either died on the battlefield or died young.

There were also those who died before dawn in that turbulent era.

The eldest brother and eldest sister are twins, and the second sister and second brother are twins.

The eldest brother and second sister took the surname Dongfang from their grandfather's side, while the eldest sister and second brother took the surname Su from their maternal grandfather's side.

The eldest brother inherited the Dongfang family's business, and the eldest sister inherited the Su family's business.

My second sister is a well-known jewelry designer in China and lives abroad with her German husband. My second brother is the secretary of a high-ranking official in Beijing.

She is 18 years younger than her eldest brother and sister, and 12 years younger than her second sister and brother.

I heard that her mother got pregnant with her because her second brother and sister punctured the "little umbrellas" that her parents used with needles.

The mother didn't want to give birth to her, firstly because she was too old and it was dangerous for her, and secondly because she was afraid that the child would be unhealthy after birth.

Secondly, the age difference between her and her older brother is too great. If she were to take him out and people saw them, they would think she was taking care of her grandson, which would be embarrassing.

In the end, it was Grandma who made the decision to let Mom give birth to her and raise her.

With the approval and insistence of her maternal and paternal grandmothers, her mother gave birth to her. After the baby turned one month old, her maternal grandmother took her to Beijing to be raised.

From childhood to adulthood, she was always surrounded by a group of elderly men and women.

Even after she returned from studying abroad, she still couldn't escape the influence of older men and women in her social life.

So she used the pocket money she had received from her grandparents, parents, and siblings over the years to buy this land near Yunlong Mountain Villa in Beijing, built a villa, a hundred-acre back garden, and a small farm of about a hundred acres nearby.
