Pampered By All In Different Planes-Chapter 80 - : Extra: Scattering Fish Scales in the Vast Sky (Children’s Extra)
Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Extra: Scattering Fish Scales in the Vast Sky (Children’s Extra)
One day, after retirement, Su Zhiruan and Lu Peijin wanted to check on what their children were up to, so they quietly went back.
The children had received the best upbringing from a young age and were very decisive and firm in their life choices, never causing Su Zhiruan and Lu Peijin any worry.
As for the concerns expressed online about whether their five children would fight fiercely over the family assets, that issue never arose.
The eldest son, Lu Qinghe, who was stable from a young age, followed Lu Peijin for training. The shareholders and employees of the company all recognized him, and Lu Peijin consciously groomed him as the successor.
Lu Qinghe had always been top of his class, serving as class president and student union president, handling affairs in an orderly manner. He was gentle and decent, and Su Zhiruan knew from young that her son had charisma, with countless love letters hidden away in his drawers.
...
Sometimes Su Zhiruan and Lu Peijin would joke that even without the Lu Family identity, with Lu Qinghe’s own qualities alone, he would have a myriad of choices. He was good-looking, courteous, and studious, almost flawless.
Lu Qinghe later entered Jinghua University to study financial management. After graduation, he went on to deepen his knowledge for a few years, then quickly came back to take over the company, and did very well.
A few years later, he had a girlfriend, the young lady of the Xu Family. The two of them made a powerful match, advancing both families’ businesses to greater heights.
The second son, Lu Qingyuan, was lively and active since childhood and was not interested in living a life by the book, preferring music and the arts instead. He later went abroad, and with his striking appearance, he became a famous bass player, composing his own music and performing. After becoming popular domestically, he also became a top star.
The Lu Family was not short of money, and it wasn’t necessary for the children to work to maintain a lifestyle. As long as they liked it and felt that such a life was meaningful, they were encouraged to boldly pursue it.
Su Zhiruan and Lu Peijin were very supportive.
The fourth, Lu Qingwen, like Su Zhiruan, passed the civil service exams and stayed within the system to help build the nation.

The fifth child had fallen seriously ill at a young age, and from then on, he was determined to become a doctor. He later came into contact with traditional medicine, which he found to be exceptionally brilliant. He learned about this area in university and developed very well.
Their only precious daughter, Lu Mingzhu, was likable and popular since she was a child, but only Su Zhiruan and Lu Peijin knew that their daughter had resilience and spirit. She did not fall short of any boy. She learned alongside her older brother and also entered Jinghua University with excellent grades. To everyone’s surprise, she chose the archeology department despite achieving a very high score.
Su Zhiruan had a long talk with her overnight, hinting that this major might not be as luxurious as life with the Lu Family, and the future could be quite arduous.
However, Lu Mingzhu just smiled carelessly, instead taking Su Zhiruan’s hand, “Mom, I know all that. This is my choice. I’m not afraid of hardships or fatigue. I want to participate in the protection of national cultural relics and in archaeological work—that’s my dream. In life, there are always things we want to do. I wish to do my best to protect more cultural relics and to uncover more secrets awaiting discovery.”
With these words from her, Su Zhiruan’s attempts to persuade her all but dissipated.
The once babbling, soft baby had grown up, with her own contributions to make and own life significance to seek.
…
Before Su Zhiruan left this world, all her children were by her side.
Her life had come to a satisfying close.
In the last moment before closing her eyes, Su Zhiruan heard a mechanical voice by her ear.
It was the long-lost System…
[Congratulations, host, mission accomplished!]
[Preparing to transport to the next world——]
…
When she woke up again, she was still on the barren ground of the System Space.
[Would you like to rest for a bit?] The system noticed that she appeared somewhat exhausted and carefully inquired.
“Let’s take a rest,” Su Zhiruan lied flat on the ground and pinched the bridge of her nose, “It all feels so unreal.”
[Ah?]
“I just died a normal death in one world and the next second, I’m back from being an old person on the verge of death,” Su Zhiruan took a deep sigh, “Having the chance to live several times more than others, it’s a complex feeling.”

[Life is the most precious thing! No matter when, as long as you are alive, you can start over!] The system’s voice rang in Su Zhiruan’s ear. Its mechanical electronic tone sounded very cheerful.
“You are the Childbirth System,” Su Zhiruan suddenly shifted the topic to it, “What about the host that was bound to you before? Did they not complete their task?”
The system fell silent, and when its voice sounded again, it was quieter, and the mechanical sound was much more muffled.
[Some hosts believe that giving birth because of a system task lacks emotion, and neither the child nor the mother will be happy. Some hosts failed to gain the approval of the child of the realm and failed their task. Others rejected me and were unwilling to do the task…]
[You are the only one who stayed to carry out the task and completed it successfully.]
Su Zhiruan said nothing more. She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
…
When she woke up once again, she found herself shivering in the cold wind with a rancid, moldy odor permeating the air.
Someone was sobbing softly nearby, the sound wasn’t loud but it drilled into her head, causing her a headache.
“Zhaodi, Zhaodi, wake up… wuu wuu wuu…”
“What shall I do… I can’t take care of you children, I’ll have to meet you in the next life…”
Then, there was the clinking sound of bottles and jars, accompanied by the exclamations of children in a corner.
“Mother—”
After Su Zhiruan opened her eyes, the first thing she saw in this dim environment, was a middle-aged woman about to pour the contents of a bottle into her mouth. Su Zhiruan’s headache worsened.
She grabbed the pillow from the bed, which was as cold and hard as a rock, and threw it accurately and ruthlessly. It hit the pesticide bottle in the woman’s hand.
The bottle fell to the ground, spilling pesticide all over, and obviously, the woman was stunned.
Su Zhiruan surveyed the surrounding environment—the house was dilapidated, with half of the straw roofing missing and the other half whistling in the wind. The table had a wobbly leg, and on the edge sat two mismatched stools, greasy and blackened with age. She had been lying on a dirt kang at the side of the room, covered with a blanket that was dark and thin as paper. The kitchen was a mess, with pots and pans, some even missing pieces.
“Zhaodi, you’re awake…” The woman was disheveled, her clothes patched, her trousers noticeably too short. She rubbed her hands together and tried to step forward but only ended up timidly moving her lips. Her hands were covered in calluses, even sporting a large tear.
Su Zhiruan noticed two children crouched in a corner, looking at the middle-aged woman with fearful eyes, shivering yet not daring to come out.
