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.

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

"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.
