Chapter 3 Back in the Stomach

"There's nothing to thank me for, it's all something I promised you." Jun Yanluo said indifferently.
"This is the spatial ring I promised you. You can't put any living things inside. The space inside can be compressed infinitely. The space inside is static, so it won't be damaged no matter how long you leave it there."
"There's some rice, flour, and cooking oil inside, left behind by the previous owner of the spatial ring. I don't need it, so I'll give it to you."
"Thank you, Yama." Shen Xiaoxiao accepted it, overjoyed.
“If you bind your soul to it, you won’t have to worry about losing it,” Yama said.
Following the method taught by Yanluo, Shen Xiaoxiao quickly completed the contract with the space and saw that it was filled with all kinds of rice, flour, and cooking oil.
Although not much, it was definitely not a small amount. "There were 100 bags of 100-jin rice, 200 bags of 50-jin flour, five or six hundred barrels of oil, and several hundred jin of mung beans, peanuts, melon seeds, and other miscellaneous items."
"Thank you, Lord Yama! I will never forget your great kindness! I will take my leave now."
Shen Xiaoxiao bowed deeply to Yama, then carefully reached out and gently pushed open the door to the time and space that emitted a mysterious light.
She stood in front of the door and turned to look at Yama again: "Lord Yama," before she could finish speaking, Yama kicked her into the portal of time and space.
With a loud "Ah!", Shen Xiaoxiao's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
"You talk too much. If we don't leave soon, Ren will be here. If he finds out, we'll be punished again." Jun Yanluo smoothed out the non-existent wrinkles on his body, turned around, and left.
Although Shen Xiaoxiao was startled by the sudden change, she was still very excited.
"A new life, a new beginning, here I come!!!"
She cried out in her heart, as if she wanted to throw all the unhappiness and pain of the past to the back of her mind.
When Shen Xiaoxiao regained consciousness, she felt that she was in a warm and comfortable environment, as if she were enveloped in a warm ocean.
The soft touch made her feel a little dazed. She tried hard to open her eyes to see what was around her, but no matter how hard she tried, her eyelids felt like they were being pressed down by a heavy weight, and she couldn't open them.
So she tried to move other parts of her body, but when she gently moved her feet, she was surprised to find that her whole body was limp and powerless.
After thoroughly experiencing it, I thought, "No way? Could it be that after my rebirth, I've actually returned to when I was still in my mother's womb? Wasn't it supposed to be that I would return to infancy?"
The moment this thought popped into her head, even Shen Xiaoxiao herself found it somewhat unbelievable.
However, since things have come to this, we should make the best of it and focus on growing up to make life better for ourselves and our families.
Thinking of this, Shen Xiaoxiao calmed down and listened carefully to the sounds outside.
However, it was quiet all around, without a sound. It must still be late at night.
After all, it's just a tiny baby, and it won't have the energy to fall asleep in no time.
I woke up again to the sound of being jostled around. My mother was probably walking, and walking quite slowly.
She could hear her breathing and the curses of her own wicked grandmother.
"You lazy woman, which pregnant woman doesn't work in the fields? You're the only one who's precious. Let me tell you, if you don't pull up all the weeds in the field today, don't even think about eating," Qian Daniu's sarcastic voice rang out.
Hearing her awful grandmother's voice, Shen Xiaoxiao clenched her fists. If she weren't still in her mother's belly, she would have punched her.
In my past life, when my mother was more than eight months pregnant with me, my father went to work, and my mother's grandmother forced her to get out of bed, where she accidentally fell.
Fortunately, a barefoot doctor saved me, and I survived. My mother lay in bed for more than a month before giving birth to me.
During my postpartum period, she was always cursing and swearing. But when my father got off work, she would pretend to be very nice to me and my mother, which caused my mother to develop health problems and pass away at a young age.
Dad also felt guilty for not taking good care of Mom, and his health deteriorated day by day. He passed away soon after, leaving Dad alone and being kicked out by Grandma.
It's not that I don't want to exchange myself for a high dowry, it's just that I've had a strangely unlucky constitution since I was a child, and no family dares to take me in.
Sometimes, Shen Xiaoxiao is even very grateful for this unlucky constitution, as it at least prevented her from being sold.
I stretched out my limbs and felt something stopping me. My hands and feet touched around and I touched a soft little hand.
"What is this? This isn't my hand. Why is there another hand inside Mommy's tummy?" Shen Xiaoxiao's heart wasn't fully developed yet, and she was almost scared out of her wits.
"Did my mom carry twins in her past life? How come my dad has never mentioned it?"
"Oh my god, could it be that that old hag sold my brother?" Shen Xiaoxiao's mind was completely blank.
Right now, all I can think about is whether it's today or not. Mom was working in the fields and got so tired that she fell!
"Mom, stop! You're carrying such a big belly, and you're carrying twins, and you still have to get out of bed. Do you know that you almost caused me to lose my baby because you fell down from exhaustion?"
Ma Aning was pulling weeds when she suddenly heard a child's sweet, childlike voice.
He looked up and around, but didn't see any children.
"How can I help my mother? How can I remind her to stop doing this, that her awful grandmother and aunt are having an affair at home right now?"
Ma Aning heard the sound again, and this time she knew it was coming from inside her stomach. She was terrified and her face turned pale.
My heart was beating very fast, and my stomach was contracting.
Shen Xiaoxiao felt herself and another baby being squeezed together, and the spatial pressure increased.
"Mom, what's wrong? How can I help you?"
Seeing the small bulges on her stomach, Ma Aning gradually calmed down.
Ma Aning heard the baby's voice again and got used to it, relaxing her body. The two babies stopped kicking and punching and became much more comfortable.
Shen Xiaoxiao's tiny, bean-sized brain remembered the last cheat code that King Yama had given him.
He immediately thought to himself, "I've finally returned to my mother's womb, how can I change her fate of dying young?"
Ma Aning calmed herself down, but upon hearing the news of her early death, she was still greatly shocked.
I dare not make a sound, for fear of affecting my daughter's mental state.
Shen Xiaoxiao knew her mother was listening, so she deliberately said, "How many months pregnant am I now? I don't know if it's more than eight months."
