Chapter 63: Who Made Me an Honest Man 1
After Yan Chu accepted the correct memory and came out of the consciousness space, he looked at the woman sleeping soundly beside him, could not help but smile, and shook his head.
According to the original world trend, she wanted to be the empress. As a result, she could only be wronged to be his empress this time. If he did not treat her better, he would feel sorry.
In this world, Yan Chu lived to sixty-nine years old. When he was fifty years old, he passed the throne to their eldest son, and he accompanied Zhou Mingli to travel through this beautiful river and mountains.
As for Zhou Mingzhu and others, they gotten imprisoned in the Princess Residence for life. The servants in the Princess Residence disappeared one by one, and they could only rely on themselves for self-sufficiency.
Mutual beatings and attacks were already the norms. Without food, they could only eat the weeds in the garden. Later, some people threw in a few bags of seeds. To survive, the pampered princess and princes could only start to learn to cultivate wasteland and grew their rations.
No one paid attention to Fu Cong, but he was covered in excrement and urine in the end and starved to death in his own house.
Zhou Mingzhu was the thorn in the eye of everyone in the house now. She had been forced to undertake more labor and often had to endure the beatings and scoldings of her mother and two imperial brothers. When everyone was asleep, she would sneak to the wall. While looking at the direction of the Imperial Palace, she was muttering words.
She was waiting for Yan Chu to take her back to the palace. Zhou Mingzhu was downright crazy.
Throughout their lives, they would live in such mutual torture.
After leaving this world, the value of the remaining points on Yan Chu’s system panel was automatically deducted by one hundred, which was the price he had to pay to stay in the mission world.
This time, he did not rush into the next world but waited until 007 appeared to make sure that this time the system would not convulse before starting his new mission.
“I think I can be a good person once in a while.”
Before losing consciousness, Yan Chu said to 007, and then his consciousness was kicked into the mission world by 007’s metal feet, which came out of nowhere.
This time, the world was not simple to say, and it was not difficult to say that it was difficult. The original self Yan Chu possessed this time had a broad definition in the hearts of the public, which was called an honest man, and this time the wisher was the mother of the original self.
For a while, there was a hot story on the Internet, which was called play enough. Find an honest man to marry, or if you accidentally became pregnant, find an honest person to take the offer.”
The original self was both former and the latter.
From an undistinguished small county town, a mediocre elementary school teacher, and had an average height, ordinary appearance. When putting him in the crowd, you will hardly look at him a second time.
Yan Chu looked at the round face in the mirror and smiled a little foolishly. The young man with black-rimmed glasses, the plaid-striped shirt was buttoned to the top, even though it was hot summer, his hair combed meticulously. It seemed that because of the occasion he was going to attend, he scraped the mousse on it. The comb was so smooth, and the details were distinct.
This word was Yan Chu’s first impression of the original self.
He pushed a little sliding glasses with his fingers and covered the eyes that unmistakably did not conform to his original temperament and appearance. The gentle, timid, and silent young man with a trace of unspeakable inferiority appeared in the mirror smoothly.
“Chu’er (children’s voice), hurry up, the girl’s waiting.”
Liang Guifen knocked on the bathroom door and urged her son to move faster. Today, the child was introduced to him by her sister-in-law. She heard that girl was good-looking and tall. She was happy when she saw the photo. She could not spoil the other girl’s impression because her son was late.
While waiting for her son, Liang Guifen herself also hurriedly looked at her reflection in the floor-to-ceiling mirror at the entrance hall. To meet the daughter-in-law, she notably spent more than 80 Yuan to perm her hair. She could not bear it before. The cheongsam she wore today was bought by her man when she was married. At that time, everyone’s salary was 70-80 Yuan. This cheongsam cost more than 300 Yuan. The material was excellent. It was hard to find the second one in the whole county.
Liang Guifen touched the embroidered peonies on her clothes and looked at the black-and-white photograph hanging not far away. Her eyes were a little red.
Yan Chu opened the bathroom door and came out to see this scene.
“Mom, don’t be sad. I’m an adult. I’m going to get married soon and hold your grandchildren. Dad, who under the nine springs, should be happy when he knows.”
“Mom traced the eyeliner today, don’t smudge it. Mom will do it myself.”
Liang Guifen waved her hand. She was not excited but sad.
“My son’s so energetic, precisely the same as your dad.”
Liang Guifen looked at his son’s dress today. He wore a plaid shirt and black suit trousers, with the shirt arranged in the trousers, and a black belt around his waist. It was so squeaky clean that it was no different from his father’s original dress.
Liang Guifen, who was still an old-fashioned woman, did not know what kind of look a mother would have on her children. In young people’s eyes, it was so rustic to wear a suit with high-waisted trousers and a belt.
Yan Chu knew, but he did not seem to want to change.
When the mother and son were ready, they locked their home, with Yan Chu taking the key along, and then they looked forward to preparing for today’s blind date.
Despite the four ordinary points of the original self mentioned above, in this small county, there was another point that he was better than many other peers. Speaking of this, you had to raise the original self’s father.
The original self’s father was a more savvy man. In the early 1980s, he had the foresight to quit his job in a machinery factory with declining performance and chose to use his family savings to open a video store. His business was booming. Unfortunately, in a traffic accident, Father Yan, who was sitting in a friend’s car, died on the spot due to the chauffeur’s fatigue driving.
The truck driver’s family was relatively well off, and the family did not want their son sentenced to too many years, and paid Liang Guifen 200,000 Yuan. At that time, Yan Chu was only three years old.
At the end of the 1980s, 200,000 was also quite valuable. Liang Guifen did not know how to manage money. She bought the shop that her husband rented from a video shop. When the commercial housing was barely rising, she bought two houses for her son, one for self living and the other for rent. The remaining 120,000 Yuan was kept by Liang Guifen all the time.
More than two decades passed in the blink of an eye. The business of the video shop closed due to the downturn. However, the old street had demolished, and the shop got replaced by two shops in the newly-built shopping mall. In such a small county with no large expenditure, the life of mother and son could be very moist just by relying on the rent of the shops and houses.
Therefore, even though the original self was ordinary, because of the two shops and two houses, many people were willing to introduce girlfriends to him. Although his personality was weak and mama’s boy because of the lack of male role education, Liang Guifen was not the kind of cunning mother-in-law. If he could marry a filial and polite daughter-in-law, the life of a family of three would never be wrong.
But the fault laid in the fact that the daughter-in-law, whom the mother and son fancied, was too “good.”
At this time, Yan Chu and Liang Guifen had already arrived in the restaurant where the introducer was better. They found a table for six people waiting for each other’s arrival because the introducer did not know whether the little girl would bring her parents over. In case of emergency, Liang Guifen honestly found a more spacious place.
“Sister, over here.”
Seeing an acquaintance entering the door, Liang Guifen stood up and waved at her with a loud voice. The young girl, who followed the middle-aged woman, slightly frowned, and still followed the woman in.
“This is who you know? What a beautiful girl.”
Yan Chu’s blind date today, Liang Zhizhi.
She wore an off-white one-piece dress with very fair skin. She was about 165 in height and weighed absolutely no more than 54 kg. She looked thinner.
She had an oval face, double eyelids, big eyes, and her nose bridge was not individually high. However, her nose had a good shape, which looked delicate. She did not seem to have makeup, but just put on some lipstick. The older generation liked girls with clean faces, especially the elderly ladies in a small county. When watching their children come back from school to trace eyebrows and lips, their eyebrows could trap mosquitoes to death.
Liang Guifen liked the quiet girl in front of her. Her son was soft-tempered. She was afraid that her daughter-in-law would bully her son to death, and the little girl in front of her was very good.
She kicked her son lightly under the table to ask his opinion, but the little fool did not seem to understand her at all. He lowered his head and did not speak too.
“You know, Auntie doesn’t know what you like to eat. You can order what you want. You don’t have to save money for Auntie.” Liang Guifen was a comparatively stingy woman on weekdays. However, she should not lose her share in her son’s blind date party. At least, she should let her, the maiden, realize that they attached great importance to her.
Yan Chu looked at the elderly lady’s cheerful look. At this time, she did not know that it was this daughter-in-law whom she was optimistic about, which eventually led to the destruction of their family.
