Ding Yun, having successfully returned, promptly initiated another random golden finger test and ventured into a new world for exploration after submitting her pioneer mission and the novice's test mission, not delaying even a minute.
She sacrificed one hundred origin coins again.
...
This time, the process was remarkably smooth.
Ding Yun soon used her spiritual power to repair the original body and merge with it, simultaneously receiving the original body's lifetime memories.
In summary, her life could only be described as tragic.
The original body had drawn the standard script of a true and false daughter.
Unlike in television dramas, where the true and false daughters are identified in their teenage years before marriage, the original body was only recognized at the age of thirty-eight.
Her son was already eighteen.
Her husband had passed away due to alcoholism.
Before being recognized by her birth parents, the original body was completely unaware of this fact. She had always considered the parents who treated her very poorly, who often beat and verbally abused her, enslaved her with housework since childhood, and then married her off for a bride price without providing any dowry, as her real parents.
The accumulated grievances over the years finally led to a complete breakdown and tears when she learned the truth.
Who among those abused by their parents hasn't fantasized about not being their biological child?
Upon realizing she wasn't their birth child, the original body immediately felt that her years of suffering had a reason; they must have known she wasn't their own.
Therefore, they treated her that way.
Perhaps they were the ones who swapped her.
However, the original body's adoptive parents adamantly claimed ignorance. As for why they treated her poorly, they argued that raising a daughter to adulthood without drowning her midway was proof enough of their biological relationship.
Furthermore, the events were too long ago, nearly forty years past, making any investigation impossible. Thus, the matter was ultimately dropped and left unresolved.
The original body, who had suffered for nearly forty years, thought she would have a better life after being recognized by her wealthy birth parents. But the reality proved otherwise. Her birth parents, both over sixty, had no intention of truly accepting her into the family, nor did they even allow her into their home.
At the same time, they requested she donate a kidney to her brother.
To donate a kidney to her brother, who was forty years old and suffering from kidney failure.
Of course, they were quite generous, specifically stating that if the original body was willing to donate a kidney, they would provide one million yuan and a house. However, they were unwilling to fully acknowledge her as their daughter. They weren't foolish; they knew how to choose between a daughter who had married into wealth and had established herself over nearly forty years of interaction, and a daughter who hadn't even graduated from junior high school, was widowed, and with whom they had no prior relationship.
The gap was so vast that the choice was obvious even with their eyes closed.
In fact, if their son hadn't developed kidney failure and they hadn't found a suitable kidney source at the time, thinking of live donation from a relative, they wouldn't have known that the daughter they had raised for thirty-eight years wasn't their biological child.
And since there was another biological daughter elsewhere,
They naturally had to find her.
However, they didn't expect this biological daughter to be such a burden. She was so much of a burden that they wouldn't have even wanted to acknowledge her if they hadn't needed to confirm if she could donate a kidney to their son.
If the original body had been a teenager, she might have been swayed and touched into agreeing. But the original body wasn't a teenage girl anymore; she was thirty-eight years old, and nearly forty if her age was counted inclusively.
In the years after her husband's death, she had to work hard in society to raise her son.
Therefore, at this moment, she felt only coldness and had no intention of donating a kidney to her brother, whom she had never met. In her mind, she felt that they weren't here to recognize her as family, but rather to buy a kidney.
The claim of family reunion was merely an attempt to play on her emotions.
However, she was somewhat tempted by the one million yuan and the house. She thought that with this money and the house, her son's marriage would be much easier to manage, with all expenses for a wedding house and betrothal gifts covered. Thus, despite her deep frustration and dissatisfaction, she gritted her teeth and agreed.
She agreed to undergo testing.
If compatible, she would directly donate a kidney.
It was at this point that her son, Liu Yuan, who had graduated from high school but failed to get into university and had recently signed up for the "Male God 108" talent show, learned of this news.
He specifically took leave from the program before its broadcast to persuade his mother not to harm her body.
He said he had already signed with a company and would be participating in the talent show. Entering the entertainment industry would allow him to earn a lot of money, so she didn't need to harm herself to earn money. No matter how beautifully they described a kidney donation, it would inevitably have some impact on her health.
He only wanted the whole family to be healthy.
He could then participate in the program with peace of mind and strive hard.
Her son didn't have a clear understanding of the situation. He didn't know about the true and false daughter affair that had happened to his mother. He only knew that his mother wanted to sell a kidney for money. He even thought that his mother had this idea because his college entrance exam scores were too low recently, and he had subsequently given up on retaking the exam.
Perhaps his mother felt his future was uncertain.
And wanted to save some funds for him!
Regardless, he didn't want to see his mother harm her body to earn money. And with his persuasion, especially when he mentioned the potential risks of kidney transplant surgery and the possibility of complications if anything unexpected happened, it further worried the original body.
She was afraid that she wouldn't earn the money and would end up burdening her son. Now that she and her son were healthy, being poor didn't seem like a big deal.
Therefore, the original body naturally reneged on her agreement.
She was unwilling to donate a kidney to her unfamiliar brother.
She didn't want the money either.
Since she couldn't have a wealthy life, she should at least preserve her current healthy body. She didn't dare to hope that if something happened to her body, her birth parents would treat her with the same enthusiasm and proactivity as they did her brother, seeking treatment and kidney sources.
The original body's change of heart and refusal undoubtedly enraged the Li Rong couple and Li Yuning, who had felt a glimmer of hope. They even suspected she was trying to bargain for a higher price. The original body, for the first time, bought a fruit basket and prepared to visit her brother, Li Yuning, whom she had never met.
She overheard them outside the ward cursing her.
They cursed her for being ungrateful and unappreciative.
This also greatly angered the original body. She had felt a bit guilty about her sudden change of mind, but after hearing how they spoke of her inside the ward, she felt no guilt whatsoever. Not only did she feel no guilt, but she even wished her brother wouldn't find a new kidney source, and even if he did, that there would be severe rejection and he would die.
What kind of people were they...
Why should she donate? Because of money?
But she didn't want money anymore, she wouldn't donate!
She wouldn't donate even if she died!
