Chapter 153 Holy Father, Prepare to Die (2)
The original owner knew that the person who took her life-saving money was none other than Li Shi.
The original owner indeed found Li Shichang at the place where he often did good deeds.
At this moment, the original owner was preoccupied with her child and naturally had no time to argue with Li Shi. She stepped forward and asked Li Shi for her money.
Li Shi looked at her and said righteously, "I've already given the money to those who need it more! I believe the child will definitely overcome her illness with her strong willpower. This money should be spent wisely, given to those who need it more!"
Since the matter concerned the original owner's child, the original owner was naturally unwilling to back down! In the pushing and shoving, the original owner was pushed to the ground by Li Shi.
Unfortunately, there happened to be a sharp rock where the original owner fell. The original owner received a violent blow to the back of the head and died instantly!
Even after the original owner died, she was still worried about her child and became a ghost, witnessing everything that happened after her death.
After seeing the original owner's unseeing eyes, Li Shi quickly devised a plan and transported the body to the mountain, staging it as if the original owner had fallen off a cliff.
If that were all, the original owner's resentment wouldn't have been so great. What Li Shi did next made the original owner's eyes widen in fury.
Li Shi had never been loving towards children, and after the original owner's death, he neglected the seriously ill child. In the end, the child, not receiving timely treatment, developed a high fever and died.
Upon witnessing this scene, the original owner of this body wished nothing more than to tear Li Shi to shreds. However, the two were now separated by death, and with her current strength, she was unable to carry out such a revenge.
However, the original owner harbored deep resentment and vowed to make Li Shi pay the price he deserved, which led to Xia Mingwei's arrival.
"Mom, I'm so hungry!"
Xia Mingwei had just finished receiving the plot when she opened her eyes and heard the little boy next to her say these words.
Xia Mingwei looked at the original owner's child in front of her. The child was clearly over six years old, but looked only four.
With his dry, yellow hair, gaunt face, and clothes covered in patches, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was a refugee fleeing famine!
Seeing this scene, Xia Mingwei could only sigh silently in her heart, "Raising a child like this is truly a tragedy!"
Thinking about the various supplies she could store in her own space, Xia Mingwei quickly came up with an idea.
She squatted down, patted the little one's head, and imitated the original owner's tone, saying, "My dear, are you hungry? Wait here for Mommy for a while, and Mommy will go get you something to eat!"
Xia Mingwei was afraid that her ability to retrieve objects remotely would frighten the original owner's daughter, so she went into a room and closed the door.
Thanks to the space's preservation and time-locking functions, the food Xia Mingwei put in before is exactly the same as what she took out now.
Because she had been eating mostly coarse grains, Xia Mingwei was afraid that eating too much meat and fish would make her too weak to handle the nourishment, so she decided to drink some porridge to soothe her stomach.
A moment later, Xia Mingwei took out a steaming bowl of congee with preserved egg and lean pork from her spatial storage.
She placed the bowl of porridge in front of the original owner's daughter, Li Jing.
The warm porridge, with its enticing aroma, quickly made one's mouth water.
Looking at the bowl of porridge in front of her, the little girl's eyes widened, and she swallowed hard without making a sound.
"Mother, where did you get this bowl of porridge?"
Although Li Jing was young, she was very aware of her family's situation. She had only ever smelled the aroma of such fragrant and delicious porridge at other people's homes, but had never tasted it before. This didn't seem like something her family could afford!
"Mother did a good deed before, and this bowl of porridge is a thank-you gift from someone!"
As Xia Mingwei spoke, she patted Li Jing's head.
Li Jing looked up and asked, "Is it like Father doing good deeds?"
Xia Mingwei shook her head. "While doing good deeds, you also need to take care of yourself! Only good deeds that don't burden others can be considered good deeds, do you understand?"
Hearing Xia Mingwei's instructions, Li Jing nodded thoughtfully.
Her stomach rumbled again, and Xia Mingwei decided to put everything else aside and fill her stomach first.
Looking at the petite Li Jing, Xia Mingwei urged her, "Xiao Jing, drink it quickly! It won't taste good if the porridge gets cold!"
Hearing this, Li Jing looked at the bowl of delicious-looking porridge in front of her, swallowed hard, and then said to Xia Mingwei, "Mom, you eat first!"
Hearing this, Xia Mingwei's heart melted. No wonder the original owner was willing to sacrifice his soul to protect such a sensible daughter!
Thinking of this, Xia Mingwei affectionately patted Li Jing's head, "Mother has already eaten, you eat!"
"Really?" Li Jing stared at Xia Mingwei's face, as if trying to discern something.
But when she saw how sincere Xia Mingwei's expression was, she felt relieved. She held the bowl of sweet porridge in her small hands and ate it in small bites.
Perhaps because she was used to hardship, Li Jing didn't waste a single grain of rice. The bowl used to serve the porridge looked exactly the same as the clean one.
After finishing a bowl of hot porridge, Li Jing patted her stomach contentedly and sighed to Xia Mingwei, "If only I could drink porridge every day!"
But as soon as the words left her mouth, Li Jing regretted them!
In this era, rice is not cheap! A pound of rice costs more than ten copper coins, enough for the original owner to wash clothes for a long time!
She tapped her head, regretting her earlier outburst. She turned and hugged Xia Mingwei tightly, her voice slightly hoarse as she said, "Mom, I was just talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart!"
In truth, given the Li family's income, they should never have ended up living in such poverty. While they might not be extremely wealthy, they should at least be financially secure.
But with a "great philanthropist" like Li Shi who cares about the world in the family, wouldn't it be difficult to make ends meet?
Li Shi always talked about how pitiful other people's families were, never thinking that Li Jing, the original owner of his wife and his child, was even more pitiful!
He used the family's money and valuables to help others everywhere, forcing a young child to become the sensible person he is today!
In a way, Xia Mingwei finally understood the original owner's feelings!
People like Li Shi don't have the destiny of a saint, but they've contracted the disease of a saint! This kind of saintly behavior, completely disregarding the lives of their family members, is a disease that needs to be cured!
Just as the original owner was pondering how to deal with a saint like Li Shi, the front door of the house was pushed open.
With a creak, the wooden door opened, and someone walked in.
The person who arrived was none other than the original owner's husband, Li Shi. Moreover, behind him followed a group of people who usually addressed him as their brother.
This group of people, taking advantage of Li Shi's personality, had often bullied the original owner of this body. Seeing these scoundrels, Xia Mingwei naturally didn't give them a friendly look.
