Ye Cai’e twitched the corner of her mouth. Wasn’t this her old go-to shopping app, Pinduoduo? But it was a little different, seemingly more advanced.
Seeing the four large words “New User Benefits” in the center of the screen, she moved her thoughts, and it actually opened directly.
【Congratulations on receiving one New User Lucky Spin. Event valid for one minute.】
Seeing the countdown, Ye Cai’e did not hesitate and immediately clicked to draw.
【Congratulations on receiving Xixi Space: 100 cubic meters.】
Space!
It was actually a space.
Ye Cai’e knew that the female lead’s space bracelet was about this size. It was precisely because of that space that she managed to turn things around in this life.
Since she now had a space as well, she absolutely had to get ahead of Ye Yingyao and store all of the Ye family’s assets inside it.
When the family split earlier, she had indeed felt some reluctance about that ill-gotten wealth. But now, she would not let even a single cent slip away.
As for real estate, trading was not allowed at present anyway. If the Ye family were all gone in the future, would it not all still belong to her, the biological daughter?
Suppressing the urge to immediately go looting the Ye family, she continued studying this Pinduoduo-like interface.
She noticed that the New User Benefits section had changed into “Daily One-Cent Flash Sale.” She did not click it right away. Instead, she scrolled through the homepage a few times and searched for items like rice and meat.
She did not see any magical items like Xixi Space. It was no different from shopping apps of later generations.
The only difference was that prices were calculated in Xixi Coins, with one yuan equal to one hundred Xixi Coins.
After getting a general understanding, she clicked on the conspicuous One-Cent Flash Sale.
One cent. She happened to have that.
After entering, she was overwhelmed by the wide array of products and immediately fell into decision paralysis.
The available items were ten jin of rice, one jin of White Rabbit Creamy Candy, one can of milk powder, five big meat buns, one box of Daoxiangcun pastries, and a volume of Chairman Mao’s Selected Works.
Ye Cai’e did not hesitate at all. This body had no idea how long it had gone without a full meal, and she was starving now. Of course she chose the meat buns.
Just looking at the words, she could already imagine the aroma of meat.
When paying, she noticed her balance was fifty Xixi Coins. After the transaction succeeded, it became forty-nine.
It seemed that the one-cent flash sale was calculated according to the currency system of her current time and space. It was a real one cent.
Having just transmigrated from the twenty-first century, Ye Cai’e had already deeply understood the value of money in this era through the original owner’s memories. Every cent mattered.
She had now arrived in an era full of vitality and opportunity, with major historical turning points ahead. It seemed that living a laid-back life was no longer just a dream.
Just as she finished the purchase and was wondering how the item would be delivered, a conspicuous green notification popped up on the glowing screen.
【Your flash sale item “Five Big Meat Buns” has arrived. Please check Xixi Space.】
The notification lasted only about three seconds before disappearing. Ye Cai’e murmured in confusion, “Xixi Space?”
The moment she finished speaking, she was instantly transported into a rectangular enclosed space roughly ten meters long, five meters wide, and two meters high.
In the center of the space, five large buns wrapped neatly in oil paper were placed on the ground.
She could smell their fragrance even through the wrapping.
They were actually freshly steamed, saving her the trouble of any preparation.
Ye Cai’e picked one up and started eating. It truly was a big meat bun, each one nearly as large as her palm.
After eating two, she finally felt full and began studying the space.
With a thought, she reappeared in the room. When she silently thought of buns, a hot, steaming meat bun appeared in her hand.
The space was not large, but it could store living things. Now she needed to test whether food stored inside would stay fresh.
With another thought, she put the bun back. When she thought of the space again, the entire small space appeared directly in her mind.
As her thoughts shifted, the buns moved from the corner to floating in midair.
Ten minutes later, she had completely figured out her Pinduoduo golden finger.
The one-cent flash sale was a daily benefit that could be used once per day. Anything else she wanted to buy could be searched for directly on the platform.
She tested it several times. It had everything.
Moreover, after spending one hundred thousand Xixi Coins, she could open her own shop. When goods were sold, there was a chance to trigger cashback rewards.
Prices here were similar to those decades later, and when converted to current prices, they were extremely cheap.
For example, rice at three Xixi Coins per jin translated to three fen in 1960s currency. Three fen for a jin of rice was something she had never seen even counting back several hundred years.
She carefully recalled the plot. Ye Yingyao would start digging up the Ye family’s hidden assets around these days. Although Ye Cai’e did not know the locations herself, the novel had described them in great detail to highlight how satisfying the female lead’s hoarding was. Especially since Ye Wenbin had already hidden most of the items in a secret room to facilitate travel to Hong Kong, it had been extremely convenient for the female lead to collect them.
But time was tight now. She had to beat Ye Yingyao to it and reclaim everything. Just thinking of all the gold bars and antiques described in the book made her envious. She would not hold back.
And besides, why not fleece these capitalist scoundrels? It was all ill-gotten wealth anyway. Taking it posed no moral issue.
Not only the Ye family, but the Che family with the childhood engagement was no good either. There were plenty of such families in Shanghai. Ye Cai’e decided to act immediately and take as much as she could.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Ye household was actually quite pleasant. With Ye Cai’e gone, the eyesore and freeloader, the family of six enjoyed a harmonious meal with eight dishes on the table.
Ye Yingyao was distracted and barely touched her food.
She kept thinking about the bracelet on her wrist. In her previous life, she had only learned before dying that Chen Yumei’s dowry bracelet was actually a spatial treasure. It could store many things without spoilage. After being reborn, she had been plotting how to obtain it.
She had not expected it to fall into her hands so easily this time.
“Yaoyao? Yaoyao?” Old Madam Ye looked at her granddaughter with concern. “You were frightened today, weren’t you? I knew that Ye Cai’e was an ungrateful one who could never be raised properly. We never should have acknowledged her. If it weren’t for you discovering that you weren’t actually a Ye, she would still be suffering in the fields and wouldn’t know gratitude at all.”
Old Madam Ye had originally favored sons over daughters. But when Ye Yingyao was five years old, she suddenly suffered a relapse of an old illness and collapsed, unable even to make a sound.
It was Ye Yingyao’s loud crying that attracted Ye Wenbin and his wife, allowing them to rush her to the hospital in time and save her life.
