5 Life has its funny way of putting things in order

In her first life, when these people came into their house, Jessa was more than happy to give Penny away. Jessa didn't even have second thoughts. All she cared about was how much these people would give her for "taking care" of Penny for 13 years.

"Are you insane!?" Jessa harrumphed. "How dare you people come into my house and claim my child is yours?! Get out of my property right now!"

Penny flinched when her auntie suddenly threw a huge fit. Jessa aggressively chased the people away.

The gates clanged aloud when Jessa slammed it closed, huffing sharply as she turned around.

"Auntie?" Penny's round eyes swirled with curiosity. "Who are those people?"

Jessa offered a short smile. "They're no one. Just an insane bunch!" She patted Penny's head and nodded. "Let's get back in. The soup might turn cold. Come."

Jessa warmly held Penny's hand, and they got in.

The next day, those same people came back to their house. However, Jessa chased them away like a plague before they could even give her an offer.

It was the same the day after that.

And the day next to that.

For the next several days, Jessa would camp in their front yard. She would enjoy her coffee in the morning with a broomstick clumped between her armpit. The people from Penny's real family would come by at the same exact time. So by the time Jessa finished her morning fuel, she was more than ready to chase them.

"Penny, do you know those people who come to our house every day?" Yuri walked beside her bicycle. "Mom always looks even more furious every day because of them."
