* Wang Cuihua was quite efficient, and with Jiang Lai helping, dinner for the Jiang family was quickly prepared. Jiang Rou still hadn’t come home. Standing by the upstairs window, Wang Cuihua looked down the street. “That girl… it’s already this late and she still isn’t home for dinner.” Her words sounded like a complaint, but her tone carried unconcealed worry for Jiang Rou. Still, the family was hungry and couldn’t wait for her alone. So Wang Cuihua deliberately set aside…-

Jiang Lai said nothing. The moment she stepped into the house and saw there were no bowls or chopsticks set out for her, she already knew dinner didn’t include her. Fortunately, she had eaten at the state-run restaurant earlier, so she wasn’t hungry. Wang Cuihua truly disliked Jiang Lai. When Jiang Rou had only gone hungry for a single day, she fainted and was sent to the hospital. But Jiang Lai had gone hungry for three full days before collapsing—and even then, Wang Cuihua didn’t care.…

“Cuihua, the list of sent-down youths has already been finalized. Your Jiang Lai has been assigned to Guangxi Province. She'll be leaving in three days, so don't forget.” After delivering the notice to the Jiang family, Sister Zhang from the Educated Youth Office immediately left. There were too many youths being sent to the countryside this round, and she still had many households to visit. Wang Cuihua saw her out with a smile. The moment the door closed, however, her expression…

Jiang Lai didn’t know where Wang Cuihua hid the family’s money. But that didn’t stop her. After all, she was very good at finding things. She didn’t waste any time and went straight into Wang Cuihua and her husband’s bedroom. She first searched the obvious places—cabinets, drawers, anywhere that could hold cash or tickets. There was only a few yuan in a bedside drawer, but she didn’t take it. It was too obvious. If it disappeared, it would be discovered immediately. Next, she checked…

The system’s voice module must have quietly pulled a random dialect pack from somewhere. “俺寵你嘞～” Jiang Lai burst out laughing, tears almost forming at the corners of her eyes. She quickly pulled herself back to the main point. “System, what exactly is an S-rank special sign-in?” she asked. The system’s code flickered briefly. 【Sorry, Host. This query exceeds my access level.】 【However, all sign-ins are evaluated by the Main System. Reward tiers are…

Hearing the sound of dishes being cleared outside the door, Jiang Lai stood up and carried her empty plate out. The moment the tightly shut door opened, the Jiang family tensed up at once. Wang Cuihua’s expression darkened immediately. Being repeatedly challenged by a daughter she had always looked down upon was something she could not tolerate. But Jiang Fuhai said nothing. And because of that, no one else dared to act out. The living room fell into an uneasy silence, broken only by…

Why could Jiang Rou and the others get two new sets of clothes every year? Why could they eat ice cream, popsicles, and go to the park for fun? Why did they have pocket money to buy whatever they wanted? Why, after school, did they not have to do housework and could instead play with other kids at the alley entrance? Why did she have to wear their hand-me-down clothes and eat their leftovers? Why did she have to paste matchboxes, sew shoe soles, do laundry, and cook? Why did they receive…

After the two of them reached an agreement, Jiang Lai carefully slipped out of the alley. Most of what she needed to prepare had already been bought. But she still didn’t feel like going back to that house and facing those expressions. Thinking of the unopened box, curiosity stirred in her heart. However, she still didn’t have a safe way to open it. ‘My storage space only allows items to be stored and retrieved… I can’t directly manipulate or open things inside it,’ she…

The system notification sounded heavenly to Luo Fei. "2,000 Gold Coins. Amazing!" Excitement flashed across his face. Two thousand gold coins were enough to purchase a powerful new genetic enhancement. Without hesitation, he opened the Gene Store. "The African Hyena Endurance Gene looks useful. The Monkey Agility Gene is tempting too. Then there's the Eagle Vision Gene—eagles can supposedly spot rabbits from kilometers away. And the Viper Infrared Sensing…-

Outside Apartment 828, a large crowd of curious onlookers had already gathered. Veteran officers Zhang Dayou and Liu Haiquan from the Songxin Town Police Station, along with trainee officers Zhao Le and Wu Wei, had set up a police cordon and were busy maintaining order. Inside the apartment, members of the Criminal Investigation Division were working nonstop. Some were documenting evidence, some were excavating the corpse buried beneath the balcony flower bed, while others were collecting forensic…
