Chapter 3: Dare to Step into My Room, and I’ll Break Your Legs

After saying that, she flipped open her textbook and didn't spare Yun Que'er another glance.

Yun Que'er was stunned. In the classes she had led as a kindergarten teacher, weren't the well - behaved kids just like this?

A few nice words could always make the adults happy.

Moreover, what she said was all true!

"Get out! If you don't leave and get beaten later, don't cry!" Yun Yi hissed out the threat through gritted teeth. Her still - childish face was contorted with hatred.

She hated Yun Que'er. Because of Yun Que'er, she might not be able to pay her third - grade tuition. Because of Yun Que'er, she had to give in on everything. But what right did this Yun Que'er have!

"Don't be afraid, Xiao Que'er. If we can't provoke them, we can avoid them." Seeing Yun Que'er standing there in a daze, Yun Fujin thought she was scared by Yun Yi.

Then he picked up the little girl and said coldly with determination, "No one can ever have any bad ideas about you. Otherwise, they'll have to answer to me!"

To be honest, Yun Que'er felt warm inside.

Although the Yun family was very poor, and the third sister and the second brother were very prejudiced against her, with her eldest brother around, she felt a sense of belonging to the family.

In modern society, Yun Que'er had no family. She grew up in an orphanage, so she cherished this rare family affection very much.

Her eldest brother carried her back to the small room. Yun Que'er secretly made up her mind that she must use her own advantages to make the family rich, with enough food and money!

She pretended to be asleep. After Yun Fujin left, she couldn't wait to open her eyes and pressed her fingertips on her eyebrows.

The outline of a screen emerged in the air in front of her. After flickering a few times, a complete semi - transparent touch screen appeared on the light - blue background.

Thank goodness, the system was still with her.

Yun Que'er licked her lips and looked at the numbers on the screen with eager anticipation. She was surprised to find that there were as many as five hundred points, which meant she could draw five prizes!

There was no such thing as an empty draw. Every draw was guaranteed to win. From level one to level five, the rewards were different at each level.

So far, Yun Que'er had drawn daily necessities, funds, and daily tools. The best prize she had ever won was time - space travel...

If she could get some general assets, that would be the best!

Thinking like this, Yun Que'er tapped the lottery button in the air.

"Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap..."

Only the person bound to the system could hear this distinct rhythm echoing in her mind. She stared intently at the lottery panel. The six - level screen had a pointer spinning between the six templates.

The level - one panel was the largest, taking up almost half of the entire circular diagram. The level - two was a sector, and the interior angle of the level - three was about twenty degrees. The higher the level, the smaller the area it occupied on the diagram.

Especially the top - prize reward. It was as thin as a hair. She had no idea what it was!

"Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap..."

Finally, the pointer stopped, but it landed within the range of level one.

Level - one rewards were living supplies. Yun Que'er felt a little disappointed, but she quickly let it go. Having steamed buns, rice, and noodles could relieve the immediate shortage, so it wasn't a total loss.

"Plop."

A roll of gauze floated in front of her. Yun Que'er blinked her eyes, a bit at a loss.

She didn't need this stuff!

She still had four hundred favorability points!

She was not willing to give up and continued to draw.

"Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap..."

It was gauze again!

One more time!

"Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap..."

Still gauze!

"You're kidding me!" Yun Que'er was furious. If the system's lottery screen were a solid object, she would definitely punch it.

After drawing five times in a row, she was so angry that she was almost crazy.

If Yun Fujin were there, he would surely be shocked to see his younger sister gasping for breath with red eyes, staring at the empty space in front of her, her thin chest heaving violently, and several large rolls of gauze scattered around her.

Five times! All five times were level - one rewards. Her ancestral "black - hand" luck didn't seem to improve even after she crossed over!

It took Yun Que'er a long time to calm down. Her favorability points were all used up. Even though she was reluctant, she couldn't make the turntable spin again!

Holding the gauze, she felt like crying. Even if there was no money, giving her some meat would be okay!

Just then, she had a sudden inspiration.

Gauze should be a scarce item in the 1980s. Could she turn the gauze into cash?

With this thought in mind, the little girl's eyes lit up. She put her feet on the ground, hugged a few rolls of gauze, and tiptoed to the door.

The third sister's room was connected to hers. The kitchen was in between the two rooms. The kitchen stove was pitch - black, and there was a pile of firewood beside it. There was also a wooden plank bed next to the firewood.

Normally, the eldest and second brothers slept in her current room, and she slept with the third sister. But because the former Yun Que'er had torn up the third sister's workbook, the eldest brother had taken her to his own room.

Even though Yun Que'er walked very lightly, the old door creaked and still alerted Yun Yi.

She glanced sideways at Yun Que'er's figure without looking closely and sneered, "You do nothing but mess around all day. If you dare to step into my room, I'll break your legs!"

The third sister was full of resentment. Yun Que'er got a shock and ran out of the house like a rabbit with her short legs moving as fast as she could.

If Yun Que'er remembered correctly, there was a clinic at the entrance of Yuhe Village.

There was a village doctor in the clinic. He should need this gauze.

Her hair was still a bit wet. To save soap, her hair had never been long. It only reached her ears. Yun Que'er casually pushed her hair behind her ears and ran against the wind.

The houses in Yuhe Village were scattered. Most of them were built with earth walls. Some had blue - tile roofs, but most were like the Yun family's, with thatched roofs.

The most satisfying thing was the tranquility away from the city's hustle and bustle. The mountains, the clear springs, and the houses made her feel as if she had returned to her days in the orphanage as a child. The air was filled with the fragrance of the soil, as if it could purify the soul.

Her steps began to slow down. When she reached the village entrance, she saw the clinic.

It was just an ordinary civilian house with a plaque that read "Yuhe Village Clinic".

Yun Que'er looked down at the gauze in her hand and took a deep breath. This was going to be her first business deal since she came to the 1980s. As long as she made money, improved the family's life, enabled the third sister to go to school as she wished, and improved the family's living conditions.

In this way, the third sister might change her opinion of her, and she could gain favorability to continue the lottery in a virtuous cycle. Her eldest brother would also be very happy!

Having made up her mind, she pushed open the door of the clinic.

In the empty room, there were simple beds on both sides. There was a cart with medical instruments beside the door, and there was a brand - new wooden cabinet against the front wall.

There were many small drawers in the cabinet, obviously for storing medicinal materials.

The room was dimly lit. Yun Que'er was just thinking that it was too deserted when a childish voice suddenly came from the corner, "The doctor is out. The clinic is closed."

Yun Que'er tilted her head and looked in the direction of the voice.

She saw a rocking chair in the corner. There were two little legs in smoky - gray trousers swaying back and forth.

Why was it a child?
