Chapter 3
These Three Children were Her Own
After ten months of pregnancy, the original owner gave birth to triplets, two boys and a girl.
Her husband relied on hunting to support his family. Their days were poor, but they were also warm.
Later, the original owner became pregnant again. However, just as the original owner found out that she was pregnant again, war broke out in the border region. The imperial court captured strong men to serve as soldiers, and the original owner’s husband was directly taken away.
Even if that man was thousands of miles away in the border region, he would still send her the military salary on time every month. He would also often send her all sorts of rare gadgets that only existed in the border region.
He was even willing to learn how to write for her, just so that he could personally write a letter to her.
The original owner was still depressed because her husband was not by her side, so she actually gave birth prematurely.
The child passed away when it was just born, which dealt a great blow to the original owner.
Soon after, the news of her husband’s death on the battlefield came from the border.
The original owner was devastated. If it were not for her three children, she would not have been able to live on.
Later, the stepmother of the original owner, who was far away in Jing City, was worried that she would bring the child back to Jing City, so the stepmother sent two servants to monitor her.
One of the servants was Madam Yu, who had just been whipped by Gu Qingxue.
The original owner of her body was called by Madam Yu to the small courtyard early this morning to help with the rough work. However, because the original owner was a little slow in the work, Madam Yu took the whip and whipped the original owner, which happened to hit the back of the original owner’s vest, the original owner died on the spot, which gave her a chance to resurrect herself.
When Gu Qingxue thought of this, a cold light flashed across her bright eyes.
She did not know whether it was because her will as the previous owner of her body was too strong or for some other reason, but when she thought of the three children of her body, she felt a kind of intimacy and love that grew from the depths of her heart.
It was as if these three children were her biological children.
However, Gu Qingxue did not like to dwell on such trivial matters. She was a person who would take things as they came.
Since she had come, she would take things as they came.
From then on, she would live well on behalf of the original owner and raise the three children as her own!
As for those ghosts and monsters, it would be best if they did not come knocking on her door again!
If they dared to come knocking on her door again, she would naturally have a way to teach them how to behave!
Arriving in front of the shabby wooden house, Gu Qingxue lowered her head and looked at the little child in her arms.
This child was her second son. His full name was Gu Yu, and his nickname was Dumby.
At this moment, Dumby still had his eyes closed tightly. His little hands, which were red from the cold, were tightly holding onto her clothes.
Gu Qingxue’s gaze could not help but soften, and a gentle smile appeared on her beautiful red lips.
“You can open your eyes now. We’re home.”
Dumby opened his eyes immediately, and their eyes met.
He had never been so close to his mother before. Dumby blushed when he smelled the faint scent of her body.
His mother was so beautiful, and his mother smelled so good.
He loved it when his mother hugged him.
“Where did your big brother and sister go?” Gu Qingxue asked Dumby as she pushed the door open and walked into the house.
She had three children in total, two boys and a girl.
“My big brother must have taken my sister to look for firewood. We don’t have any firewood at home,” Dumby answered obediently.
Gu Qingxue nodded. After entering the house, she quickly looked around the house.
Even though she had mentally prepared herself in advance and had a clear look at the situation in the house, Gu Qingxue still could not help but curse in her heart.
Not a single piece of furniture was intact in this small wooden house that was less than 30 square meters. Even the roof had a few holes, and the cold wind was blowing into the house.
They were really too, too, too poor.
In her previous life, Gu Qingxue was so ‘poor’ that she only had money left. She left bitter tears in her heart.
