Han Ze wrote a letter to ask for his ashes to be buried when he was less than 60 years old. His children had all started their own families and careers. After resigning from his official position, he planned to return to Xiaohan Village with Wang Caiwei to retire. His health had been poor since he was a child, and even though he recovered later, he was still old. His children and grandchildren were worried about his health and did not want them to travel a long distance back home. Han Ze insisted, and they had no choice but to agree.
Han Ze has lived in this world for more than 40 years. He saw off the old couple Han Youtian, and later saw off Wang Caiwei, and even Wang Erlang and Wang Sanlang, but he is still alive.
When it came to him, just like in the previous lives, he once again faced the tearful faces of his children and grandchildren. He still felt reluctant, but there was nothing he could do.
Congratulations to the tasker for completing the task: changing the fate of the Han family, and receiving 800 points as a reward.
Han Ze returned to the mission space and heard the rusty sound of the system. He lowered his eyes and remained silent.
The system knew that every tasker would feel uncomfortable for a period of time after completing a task, so he asked cautiously: Do you want to rest? Or do you want to enter the next world now
Han Ze looked up, his face expressionless, and said slowly: "No need to rest, just go directly to the next world."
System: ... OK.
The scene flashed, and Han Ze was already in another world. At this moment, he was standing at the door of a family's house, holding a piece of pork in his hand. What he saw was somewhat similar to the Xiaohan Village in his previous life. Looking at his clothes, it goes without saying that this was another ancient world. Just as he was about to contact the system and ask it to send him the memories of his original body, he faintly heard voices coming from the house.
"Mom, we worked hard for a year, paid taxes, and only earned two taels of silver from selling grain. Master Liu in the academy said that if we pass the imperial examination, the government will not only reward us with silver and grain, but our land will also be exempted from taxes... I am useless at studying, but Jiwen and Jixue are smart since they were young. Master Liu in the village academy often praises them and told me that they will both pass the imperial examinations in the future... I think that if one of the two children can pass the imperial examination, it must be the blessing of our ancestors. If both children can pass the imperial examination, who in the surrounding villages will not look up to our family? Even Han Ze's father will look up to us."
Han Ze thought that the Han Ze this person was talking about was probably his original self. However, although his original self was standing at the door of this house, he was probably not a member of this family. So it was unknown what his relationship with this family was.
"Bah, with Han Ze here, why would I care about the look of respect from Han Maode? His only son was born from my belly, what should I be afraid of?" After a pause, she continued, "Did Mr. Liu from the village school really say that Jiwen and Jixue will be able to pass the imperial examinations in the future?"
Han Ze thought, the woman who said this should be the original body's mother. The tone of her words indicated that Han Maude was the original body's father. The woman just said that Han Maude's only son was born from her belly, so who was the man in the room who called her mother? Was he the original body's half-brother? Since the original body's father was still alive, how could the original body's mother give birth to someone else's child in the eyes of the ancients who regarded the husband as the heaven? Did she remarry? Or was there another reason
He scratched his head. This relationship was really complicated. Thinking of this, he continued to listen attentively.
"How could it be false? Mother, didn't you always say that Jiwen and Jixue both took after you, with a broad forehead, a high nose bridge, and thick ears, which was a sign of good fortune, and that you would have a promising future?"
"It's not that I'm lucky."
"Mother, the important thing is that these two children have inherited your intelligence and are very good at studying. Mother, if you were a boy, I think you would also be able to pass the imperial examination."
"I have been smarter than your aunt and two uncles since I was a child."
"Mom, they are so smart, wouldn't it be a pity not to let them study for the imperial examination? Mr. Liu in the village said that he has taught everything he should, and the two children have learned it. He can't teach them anything more. If they want to take the exam, they have to go to the town's private school. The teacher there is a scholar. With a scholar teaching them, it should be easier for them to take the exam in the future. I want to send the two children to the town's private school to study."
Han Ze couldn't help laughing when he heard this. This brother had spared no effort to deceive the old lady, and flattered her loudly. But he was right. If the teacher Liu in the village school was not a scholar himself, it would not be easy to teach a scholar. But to pass the examination to become a scholar, it was not enough to be smart or just be able to read. Otherwise, the original body in the previous world would not have fainted in the examination room every time and failed the college entrance examination several times.
After hearing this, he didn't intend to listen any further and was about to contact the system to ask him to send his original body's memories. Then he heard the original body's mother speaking again.
"Of course we have to. We have to save money for Mei Zi's dowry. Jiwen and Jixue are Han Ze's nephews. They want to go to school, so as their uncle, he has to do his part. Go find Han Ze later. After we get the money, we'll send them to the town's school tomorrow."
Han Ze laughed again. His tone was too matter-of-fact. How could she be so sure that the original body would pay for her nephew's education? And it was not the tuition for the nephew of the same father? Could it be that the original body was also an honest and filial son
"Will Han Ze's father agree?"
"As long as Han Ze opens his mouth, Han Mau De wouldn't dare to say anything. Even Wang Lanhua would have to pay the money obediently. If she wants to blame someone, she should blame her for not giving Han Mau De a son. She also has to let Han Mau De raise two cheap sons for her. This is also my good fortune. If Han Mau De had more sons, what would Han Ze have to do with it?"
"Mom, we must not let Han Ze know that I am not Han Maode's son. Otherwise, let alone asking him to pay the money, even the money he originally spent on us, with his temper, we will have to pay it back."
"Don't worry."
Han Ze's eyes slightly opened. These few sentences contained so much information. Could it be that the original body had never known about this
"Brother, you are here, why don't you come into the house?"
A clear female voice came from behind him. He turned around slowly. Although he got some information, he did not receive the original owner's memory. At this moment, he didn't know what expression to put on his face. He could only have no expression. Just when he was about to speak, the talking in the room stopped abruptly.
Han Ze continued to remain expressionless.
Two people ran out of the room with a bang.
There was no emotion on Han Ze's face. He looked up and saw that the woman in her fifties might be the original body's mother, and the man next to her should be the original body's half-brother.
Seeing Han Ze's expressionless face, Mrs. Liu and Han Chengming's hearts skipped a beat at the same time. Mrs. Liu hoped for the best and asked hurriedly, "When did Han Ze come?"
Han Ze said nothing.
Mrs. Liu had a bad feeling in her heart, so she asked carefully: "What did we just say..."
Han Ze lowered his head and glanced at the pork in his hand, then raised his wrist and interrupted her, saying, "I'm here to bring you some pork."
The original person was standing at her door holding pork in his hand, probably coming to deliver the pork.
Mrs. Liu and Han Chengming felt relieved at the same time, it seemed that he didn't hear what they said. Mrs. Liu smiled, took a step forward and wanted to take the meat from his hand, but Han Ze dodged by turning sideways. Mrs. Liu froze and looked at Han Ze in confusion.
Han Ze looked at her and said slowly: "I heard everything you just said."
Mrs. Liu and Han Chengming started to panic.
Han Ze turned to look at Han Chengming and pointed at him: "He is not my father's son."
He used affirmative sentences.
Granny Liu said hurriedly, "Why, why isn't he your father's son? He is your father's son. Didn't I tell you? It was your father who misunderstood."
Han Ze had no memories of his original self, and didn't know what his original self's personality was like. He didn't plan to say much to her, and only said, "Whether it's true or not, I'll go back and ask my dad." After that, he turned around and strode away.
Mrs. Liu and Han Chengming watched him walk away anxiously. Han Chengming looked at Mrs. Liu and said, "Mother, what should we do now? Who will pay for Ji Xuewen's studies?"
Granny Liu came back to her senses and snorted, "Who will go? Of course Han Ze will go."
Han Chengming frowned: "But Han Ze has just heard what we said. Now that he knows that I am not Han Maode's son, not his biological brother, will he still help me without regrets?"
Mrs. Liu glared at him and said, "So what if you are not Han Maode's son? It's enough that you are my son, Liu Juhua."
Han Chengming looked at his mother blankly.
Old Lady Liu glared at him again: "Where is your usual cleverness? You crawled out of my belly, and so did Han Ze. We are both born of the same mother. If you are not brothers, then who is the brother? It has nothing to do with whether you are Han Maode's son or not. As long as Han Ze is born by me, he must respect me and listen to me, otherwise he is unfilial."
She just realized that Han Ze heard what they said, and she didn't think so much in her anxiety. After coming to her senses, she felt that there was nothing to worry about. Han Ze was her son, and he had to listen to her. It made sense no matter what she said.
Han Chengming thought about it and realized that Han Ze was born to his mother, so he had to be filial to her. There was nothing much to say. Thinking of this, he said, "Then, should we let Jiwen and Jixue get the money for their studies?"
Old Lady Liu frowned, "Wait for two days. Han Ze is very angry right now. When he calms down, I will coax him. No matter you are Han Maode's son or not, you are brothers from the same mother. Jiwen and Jixue are his nephews. If they are on good terms, they will not forget his girls and silly son. They will be closer to him than Wang Lanhua's children. I don't believe that Wang Lanhua's children and grandchildren will be able to help Han Ze's girls and silly son in the future. Once he understands these reasons, he will be willing to give money to his nephew to study."
Han Chengming said with a playful smile: "Mom is the wisest person in our family. It's right to listen to her."
Mrs. Liu glanced at him. Han Meizi, who was standing next to him, frowned slightly when she heard what her mother and elder brother said. She wanted to say something, but when she thought of her mother's temper, she swallowed the words back. However, she couldn't stop worrying in her heart. She always felt that things were not as simple as her mother and elder brother said.
Han Ze walked out, looked around, and sneered. Without the original owner's memory, he didn't know where his home was. Where should he go? It seemed that it was more important to receive the original owner's memory first. Thinking of this, he searched around, found a flat stone and sat down, and then contacted the system, "Send me the original owner's memory."
System: OK, tasker.
After receiving the original body's memory, Han Ze frowned. Through the memory, he knew that the original body was not an honest and foolishly filial son. It can be said that the original body was not a very honest person. Since the original body was not a very honest person, nor was he foolishly filial, how could he ask for whatever he wanted from his remarried mother and brother
