The heroine is so cute, she quickly puts on her clothes and lies down

Zhu Yue didn't know whether this was a good thing or not.

But she didn't want to pretend to be the original owner because it would make her look too easy to bully.

Most people in the world fear power but not virtue.

Maybe it would be better for the original owner if he looked a little more difficult to deal with.

the next day.

When Zhu Yue woke up and walked out of the space, she saw that no one was at home.

The original owner's mother Jiang Manli and stepfather Xu Guoqing both had jobs and had already gone out to work.

My younger sister Xu Honghong and brother Xu Baoan, who are one year younger, also went to school.

She is the only one in this house now.

The original owner was never included in the breakfast, but she was required to wash the dishes and clean up.

Zhu Yue didn't clean up the dirty bowls and plates on the table, but went straight out.

The place where she lives now is the steel plant’s staff housing compound. Because Xu Guoqing has been a veteran worker at the steel plant for ten years, she was allocated a 30-square-meter house.

At this time, there was no one in the family compound except for some elderly people.

When Zhu Yue passed by the gate, she was discovered by a few elderly people who were sitting under a tree and chatting. They especially noticed her conspicuous short hair.

"Hey, where are you from? Why don't I remember there is someone like you in our hospital?"

Aunt Wang is the most gossipy old woman in this compound. She said that she remembers the situations and people of every household in the compound and she tells them the absolute truth.

The two or three older sisters next to her also echoed her words.

"Whose relative is this young man?"

"He looks a little familiar, but I just can't remember why he looks familiar..."

Zhu Yue stopped and decided to maintain necessary politeness in front of outsiders. This was also the image of the original owner, and from now on she had to change and reshape it in the direction she wanted.

"Auntie Wang, I am Zhu Yue who lives in Xu's house."

"Xu family...Xu family...I remember that you are the little girl brought by Jiang Manli, right?"

Aunt Wang looked obviously excited. She had hardly seen the original owner before. "Oh, how come you are so big? When you first came, I remember you were about the same age as my grandson, right? How old are you this year? I don't see you going out all day. Where did you go to school before?"

In this day and age, it is difficult for every household to have any secrets. If you hide something and don't want to be seen by others, it will be dug out quickly. Everyone has just come from that time and is very sensitive. If there is anything wrong, it will be reported to you.

But no matter how Aunt Wang thought about it, she felt that she had no impression of this girl, so something was wrong.

The original owner was brought here by Jiang Manli to remarry shortly after the founding of the People's Republic of China. She was three years old at the time and was ignorant and did whatever her mother said.

Jiang Manli told her not to go out and not to talk to outsiders. When she was a child, every time she envied her younger sister and brother who could go out and play freely and wanted to go out too, her younger siblings would complain to her and she would be beaten.

The original owner had not always been so numb. Ever since she grew up, she had been wondering why her brother and sister-in-law could do it but she couldn't. It was not until Jiang Manli instilled in her the idea that she owed everyone that she stopped struggling.

She thought she was born with sin. Her father died, and if it weren't for her mother, she wouldn't deserve to live. So while she was alive, she had to repay her mother, her stepfather, and take care of her younger siblings.

Up to now, the original owner has been washing clothes for everyone in his family, including his stepfather. He has been doing this job since he was six years old and continues to do so today.

Zhu Yue recalled that the original owner was the first one she met who did not have any remaining obsessions.

She wanted to help her, to take revenge on those who hurt her, to tell her that she was born without owing anyone anything, and that even if her mother didn't raise her, the subsidy she received as the child of a martyr would be enough for her to have enough food and clothing, and to grow up normally like other children.

Jiang Manli violated the rights of the original owner and shamelessly pretended to be a good mother, and wanted to exploit the original owner for her whole life.

Not innocent at all.

But Zhu Yue would not argue with such a mother, wondering how deeply she had hurt her daughter.

Jiang Manli might not be unaware of this, she just doesn't care. She may not even really care about the brothers and sisters she has later. She has children for the benefits that come with them, and she loves herself the most.

The original owner really never went out. From the age of five to now when he is sixteen, he has gone out less than ten times in eleven years.

Zhu Yue didn't believe that she was not a servant of this family.

"Auntie, I'm sixteen years old and I've never been to school. I have to go out and deliver something to my mother. I'm leaving first."

When Zhu Yue woke up in the morning, she suddenly had an idea for meditation.

Can cultivation be practiced in this world? I tried it and it actually is possible.

She felt uncomfortable as she couldn't practice in the previous world. Although she didn't know why she could do it here, Zhu Yue seized the time to feel the energy and used her previous experience to resonate with the energy easily. She felt it for a while and found that within a week at most, she could feel the energy entering her body.

But in this world, she does not want the energy entering her body to bring about eternal beauty and increased lifespan.

It is a national policy that people cannot become spirits after the founding of the country, and it is also unnecessary to live to be 150 years old.

So she would control the speed of her practice and suppress it.

Stuck at the critical point of advancement, the internal strength is completely sufficient. This world relies on hot weapons, and the level of internal strength is enough to deal with ordinary people. No matter how high it is, it cannot withstand a volley of bullets.

Zhu Yue has now left the family compound and is heading to the steel plant where her stepfather Xu Guoqing works.

Based on her previous experience of living a lifetime in period novels, she knew that there would be a black market near every hospital and large factory, and that the black market was either in the intricate alleys or in the nearby woods.

The steel plant is the largest in H Province, with tens of thousands of workers and the best welfare among all factories. Now that the campaign has not started yet, control in this regard is not strict.

Zhu Yue easily found a place in the grove near the steel plant.

After walking towards the grove for a while, I saw two sturdy men with dark faces guarding a small path.

The way Zhu Yue looks now, almost no one would suspect that she is a man.

The guard glanced at her short hair and couldn't help rubbing his own head with his right hand. He felt like changing his hairstyle as well. He was confident that he would be more handsome than this guy. He was so strong and muscular that he was not stronger than this weakling.

Zhu Yue is indeed very thin now, almost as thin as a pole. Although her face is pretty, her skinny body makes her look a bit scary and cannot withstand close scrutiny.

It's all because of hunger.

Zhu Yue felt that without the beauty pill, she would definitely not live to old age, given the long-term hunger in her childhood. Even if she started to eat and drink well now, she would still be plagued by illness in middle age.

“Sell or buy?”

The sturdy man asked her, his voice very low.

"Brother, I'm looking for your boss."
