CHAPTER 172: CHAPTER 167: MOM ON THE OFFENSIVE

Ye Qiu came over at this time, in her previous life it was also at this time that she slowly died due to excessive blood loss without timely assistance, and her maternal family was in T city. By the time her parents arrived, the Kong Family had already cremated her body.

The Ye Family had suspicions about Ye Qiu’s cause of death, but they struggled with a lack of evidence, and they themselves got into an accident on the road, ultimately letting the matter drop.

Less than two months after Ye Qiu’s death, the mistress brought her son into the Kong Family. Both Granny Kong and Kong Lizhi favored sons over daughters, making Kong Wenyin the redundant one in the family. The mistress abused her with beatings and scoldings, and made her do hard and tiring chores, forcing her to work outside despite her young age.

Kong Wenyin hated this family, and soon after starting work, she met a man from out of town and married him. Unfortunately, her fate was no better than Ye Qiu’s; the man changed after their marriage. He not only despised Kong Wenyin for having no dowry but also for giving birth to a daughter, and they lived a life of bleak hardship.

In this new life, Ye Qiu wanted the Kong Family to face retribution, she wanted her parents to enjoy their old age, and she wanted her daughter to grow up healthy and happy, with a smooth life.

Still having a headache at the back of her head, Ye Qiu took her daughter into a space. When she first arrived, she discovered that the space had neither disappeared nor had it turned into an acquired skill. Could it be because she used the Divine Soul to refine it so that it could always accompany her?

But in the past, she had also been to the Immortal World, so why didn’t the weapons refined with the Divine Soul stay with her forever?

Ye Qiu didn’t understand the connection, but one day she would figure out this mysterious system. Then she opened the panel and selected the Level 6 skill of "Light of the God of Cooking."

Now the space, having been transformed in the previous world, looked completely different from its original barren state, with orchards, wheat fields, paddy fields, vegetable patches, and a ranch all present. Various machines were neatly arranged in the warehouse, and a row of wooden houses was built next to the vegetable patch and the Spiritual Spring, equipped with all the necessities of life.

Ye Qiu first laid her daughter Kong Wenyin on the big bed, then ran to the edge of the Spiritual Spring to drink a few mouthfuls, which made her feel much lighter in the head and also cleared the dizziness.

"Mom." Kong Wenyin woke up in a daze and realized she was in a strange place. Holding back tears, she dressed herself, hurried out from the house with small short legs, and started looking for Ye Qiu.

"Mom is here." Hearing the noise, Ye Qiu turned off the stove in the kitchen and quickly held her daughter in her arms.

Because the Kong Family favored sons over daughters, Granny Kong, Kong Lizhi, and Kong Zhenzhen all did not like Kong Wenyin much, which caused Kong Wenyin to be very dependent on Ye Qiu as a mom. That morning, because of the excessive blood loss, Ye Qiu had fainted, which made Kong Wenyin even more panicked inside; she burst into tears as soon as she jumped into Ye Qiu’s arms.

"It’s okay, it’s okay, mom is here. Mom and Yinyin agreed, I will never leave my Yinyin. Don’t be afraid, Yinyin." Ye Qiu gently stroked her daughter’s head, repeatedly kissing her little cheeks and forehead.

"With mom here, Yinyin is not scared." Hearing her daughter’s tearful voice, Ye Qiu’s heart ached even more. This is her well-behaved daughter, how could the Kong Family be so heartless in the past!

But it’s okay now, she is back in this lifetime, and she will never let her daughter suffer any harm again.

"Mom is cooking, is it okay for Yinyin to sit here and wait?"

"Okay." Little Wen Yin obediently sat on a small stool, watching her mom’s busy back and sweetly smiled.

Mother and daughter, two dishes and a soup by Ye Qiu were enough. After Ye Qiu served the food and gave her daughter some dishes, she ate quietly on her own, neither picky nor wasteful.

"Mom, the food you cooked today is so delicious!" Little Wen Yin’s eyes sparkled like black grapes, her small face flushed pink, as she sweetly smiled at Ye Qiu.

"So the food mom cooked before wasn’t delicious?" Ye Qiu teased her.

Little Wen Yin pondered for a moment, then puffed up her little face and sincerely said, "Mom’s cooking used to be delicious too, but today it was the best."

"My smart little one," Ye Qiu tapped her daughter’s forehead, "How about from now on Mom makes delicious meals like this every day for our Wen Yin, would that be good?"

"Yes!" Little Wen Yin cheerfully agreed.

After eating their fill, Ye Qiu took her daughter for a walk in the space, and Kong Wen Yin was instantly attracted by the cute little sheep.

"Mom, can I touch them?" Little Wen Yin asked cautiously.

"Yes, but don’t hurt them," Ye Qiu let her daughter into the sheep breeding fence, as the adult and young sheep were kept separate, so Ye Qiu wasn’t worried about her daughter’s safety.

"Mom, I really like it here," Little Wen Yin gently stroked the little sheep’s head, saying with a blissful face, while Ye Qiu looked at her happy daughter and smiled tenderly.

As they played, Little Wen Yin thought of something, and whispered to Ye Qiu, "Mom, can we not go back to grandma’s house? Can we just live here, just the two of us?"

Hearing her words, Ye Qiu’s heart immediately ached as if pricked by needles. She hadn’t expected her five-year-old daughter to already sense the bad atmosphere at that household, and the unkindness from her father and grandma.

Ye Qiu squatted down, looked into her daughter’s eyes, and said seriously, "Wen Yin, would you be sad if mom and dad separated?"

Little Wen Yin panicked a bit, clinging tightly to Ye Qiu’s neck, "Then will Mom take me with her?"

"I will," Ye Qiu said firmly.

"Then Mom should just separate from Dad," Little Wen Yin said in a sad tone, "Dad, grandma, and auntie are mean to mom, and mean to Wen Yin, Wen Yin doesn’t like them."

Ye Qiu hugged her daughter tightly, speaking in a hoarse voice, "Okay, Mom will listen to Wen Yin."

Ye Qiu didn’t care about the time, nor did she care about Granny Kong’s reaction when she returned from playing cards to find both of them gone; she and her daughter slept in the space that night.

"This place is Mom and Wen Yin’s secret base, don’t tell anyone else, okay?" Ye Qiu earnestly instructed her daughter.

"If others know about it, won’t we be able to come in here anymore?" Little Wen Yin expressed a frightened look, assuring Ye Qiu, "Mom, I will never tell anyone."

"Mm, Mom believes in Wen Yin," Ye Qiu responded.

When Ye Qiu and her daughter came out, it was already midday the next day. The main door was locked, Granny Kong was not at home, Ye Qiu turned on her phone to find several missed calls and a voice message from Kong Lizhi on WeChat.

Ye Qiu listened to the voice message, which contained not a single word of concern for her and her daughter, but was filled with rebukes for not working, not taking good care of Granny Kong, and disappearing with her daughter.

Ye Qiu scoffed coldly, ignoring them, and took her daughter on a bus headed for City C.
