“Uncle, our family really can’t afford this daughter-in-law anymore. I won’t even mention how she used to desperately cling to her maternal family for everything. Because of her, our family has lost all face in the village, and I won’t mention that either. This time, she’s trying to take our Er Ban’s life.”
“Er Ban can remain a bachelor his whole life. He might be unattractive, but he’s not a bad person. He can support himself. Even if he suffers a bit in old age, it’s still better than losing his life so young. Besides, he has nephews and nieces; they can at least give their uncle a meal and roll him up in a tattered mat to bury him.”
He stood up again, hands behind his back, with the air of a senior cadre. “But sister-in-law, Er Ban’s wife is pregnant.”
She sat down cross-legged again, her eyes narrowing. Her originally round eyes managed to convey a hint of malice. “Whether it’s true or not is still uncertain. Even if it is, our family doesn’t want her anymore. We absolutely dare not want her. It’s only been two months, and she’s already worn out half our family. If she gives birth, I’ll have to pay with my life for her/him.”
It seemed this family had been thoroughly tormented by Er Ban’s wife.
At this time, children were the most important thing. To be able to say they didn’t want the child clearly meant they had been pushed to a critical point.
In the Second Brigade, one person was caught on the spot for that… and because she was pregnant, they hadn’t divorced and just endured it.
At this moment, the main door was pushed open, and Liu Huai walked in with his medical kit.
Seeing a stranger in the house, his expression didn’t change. He still asked with a smile, “Xixi, you’re up? How are you feeling today?”
“Much better. I even went for a walk this morning.”
“That’s good. Whose child is this? So cute.”
Xiao Jingjing stood up straight with great confidence and introduced herself, “Hello, Uncle. I’m a child from Li Aimin’s house next door. My name is Li Jingjing.”
This child is truly amusing. So confident and not shy at all. Not to mention in the countryside, even in the city, there aren’t many children like this.
Liu Huai rummaged in his pocket and pulled out a few White Rabbit creamy candies. “This is a prize for Jingjing taking care of Xixi. Jingjing, Uncle needs to treat Sister now. Can Jingjing come back to play with Sister in a couple of days?”
Xiao Jingjing, who was very happy to get candy, suddenly wasn’t so happy anymore. She could have earned four yuan and five jiao, but with this uncle around, she could only earn fifty cents!
However, the young girl didn’t throw a tantrum. She politely thanked Liu Huai before leaving.
Lin Yuexi raised an eyebrow at Liu Huai. Liu Huai didn’t speak, but he glanced towards her room.
Lin Yuexi understood immediately and slowly got up to return to her room.
As expected, several soldiers who had concealed their presence were already in the room. One of them was holding a silver combination lock box, which was secured to his wrist with a special handcuff.
The men silently saluted her. Another soldier took out a handcuff key and opened the lock. All the soldiers turned away, including the one holding the combination lock box, who turned his head and closed his eyes. Then, the only non-soldier, a middle-aged man, went over, placed the combination lock box on the kang table, and unlocked it.
This kind of strict security was something the original host had experienced countless times, and Lin Yuexi had also experienced it frequently in her previous life.
This brings us to the original host’s special circumstances. Did you really think a public bus was for casual use? Did you think dozens of doctors came to save her just because of Leng Zhi’s face? Did you think that during this special period, a sick adopted daughter of a military commander could casually get a private hospital room?
Even if the Leng family had the capability, who would dare to be so ostentatious during this special period?
The special treatment she received, if not for her poor health serving as the best cover, wouldn’t people suspect she had a special identity?
And the fact is, she did.
The original host was a calculating genius. At a very young age, she displayed a mental calculation ability far superior to computers. Not only did she have a photographic memory, but she also possessed an extremely strong learning ability.
Children don’t know how to hide things. Living in a military region, with her father being a military commander and her grandfather then being the Chief of Staff, surrounded by high-ranking military officers, how could her uniqueness possibly be concealed?!
She was a super genius who hadn’t yet grown. The country needed her. If it weren’t for her extremely poor health, everything would have gone according to her wishes. She would have definitely been taken away and vigorously trained.
But even though her health was so poor that she often had to miss school and could only study at home, the original host still displayed her extraordinary talents as she grew older.
Starting at the age of fourteen, she began helping various research institutes calculate data, thereby learning scientific research knowledge in various fields. Others might excel in one area, but she could participate in weapons, electronics, and many other fields.
Just the fact that her mental calculation surpassed computers made all research institutes want to snatch her up, not to mention her incredibly strong learning ability.
Furthermore, she could always propose her own unique insights, sometimes advancing research progress in an instant.
Just look at how twisted the author of this book’s worldview is. Such a genius, if allowed to grow, could potentially lead technological advancements. But not only was her health poor from childhood, she was written to death at seventeen, and didn’t even have a name in the book.
Only the four words ‘Leng family’s adopted daughter’ summarized her brilliant life, which, though only seventeen years long, had already achieved countless merits!
Lin Yuexi herself worked in a research institute before the apocalypse in her previous life, specializing in weapons research, which was her exact field of expertise.
Her mental calculation ability was also good, but far inferior to the original host’s, and she didn’t have a photographic memory. Her knowledge was all hard-won through diligent study. Now, all of this has been passed down to her from the original host, so she has gained a huge advantage.
The middle-aged man, Old Yan, whispered, “I’m very sorry, Comrade Lin. We know your current situation isn’t ideal, but this data is extremely urgent. It’s been stuck for nearly half a year, and we can’t wait any longer. If we don’t break through technologically, we will be in a very passive position.”
Lin Yuexi slowly walked over and sat down on the kang, placing her hands lightly on the combination lock box. She didn’t open it immediately but asked softly, “How much time do I have?”
Old Yan pursed his lips, looking at the girl’s almost bloodless face. The words behind him got stuck in his throat for a moment.
But…
He gritted his teeth and finally spoke, “One month at the latest.”
Yes, because the original host had always performed flawlessly and without hindrance in calculations since childhood, the superiors didn’t think the data would be unsolvable for her. Therefore, any data sent to her had no concept of success or failure, only time limits.
Lin Yuexi didn’t answer and opened the combination lock box.
The combination lock box was full of data. With just one glance, she knew it was data for a fighter jet.
“Mm, I understand.”
Upon receiving this reply, everyone visibly relaxed.
Then, after saluting her again, they jumped out of the window one by one. Even Old Yan leaped out with agile skill and carefully closed the window.
Lin Yuexi knew they weren’t leaving; they were just avoiding the classified data. The people would definitely be hidden around the house.
One month was a tight deadline. Lin Yuexi didn’t dare to waste time and took out the data to begin reviewing it.

“Did you hear? Educated Youth Lin is sick again.”
“Isn’t Educated Youth Lin always sick?”
“Oh, no, Educated Youth Lin fainted again. I heard that the day she went out for a stroll, she fainted when she got back.”
“What did you say? Educated Youth Lin fainted and vomited blood?”
“She vomited blood? That serious?”
“Of course. They even invited several doctors from the county hospital. Some people saw those doctors leave shaking their heads.”
Word spread from ten to a hundred, and then to a thousand. As the rumors spread, Educated Youth Lin was on her last legs, barely clinging to life.
