Ji Changze opened his eyes and just sat up when he heard a dissatisfied middle-aged female voice outside, raising her voice to accuse someone:
"My Nagasawa didn't even ask for a three-turn ring! Aren't you happy if he wants a bicycle?! As the eldest brother, it costs money to get a bicycle just to show off the appearance of the younger brother's wedding, or he is still living in the city and eating from the government, the boss Ah, you can’t be so heartless!”
Ji Changze did not go out directly, but continued to listen quietly to the noise outside. While listening, he checked the memory of the original owner.
This place is in the process of national construction, and it is still an era of eating from a big pot and doing collective work.
The original owner's home is in a small village in the north. There are two brothers in the family. His parents are still alive, and he is the youngest.
Generally speaking, younger sons are more favored, and this is also true in the original owner's family.
At first, it was because he was sweet-tongued and good at coaxing others. Although he was incompetent and lazy, he was particularly good at drawing cakes and kept saying, "What will happen when I become successful in the future?", which made his parents feel uncomfortable.
Later, his eldest brother got married, and his eldest sister-in-law was from the city. She was the only daughter of the family, and she was a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative in the city. It was impossible for her to give up such a good position and follow her husband to the countryside, so his father-in-law tried to find a way to find a relationship and provide him with a job in the city. I found a worker position there.
In this era, workers were very popular. The original owner's eldest brother was crazy not to go, so he went to the city smoothly. Because he had no money to buy a house in the city, he lived with his father-in-law and mother-in-law's house.
And because it’s difficult for workers to take time off, they can’t come home often to visit.
This made the parents of the original owner dissatisfied. They felt that the son they had worked so hard to raise ran away to another family, causing them to be said by the villagers that their son had become a live-in son-in-law. What a shame!
So, what was originally just a preference for the younger son has now directly evolved into being disrespectful to the older son and full of doting on the younger son.
After all, in their eyes, the eldest son has gone to the home of his father-in-law and mother-in-law to be his son, and the younger son is their own.
With the eldest son as a negative example, the sweet-tongued original owner said every day that he would stay with his parents and be filial to them for the rest of his life. Whatever the younger son did, everything was good in the eyes of his parents.
Are you always too lazy to take time off from work
That's because he is weak.
If you don’t work hard and eat quickly, you’ll run faster than anyone else
If your body is weak, of course you should eat more and take supplements.
Do you lie lazily in bed and take a nap every day, walking around with cats and dogs instead of doing any serious business
This is loving home, which is better than just thinking about running away every day.
Their eldest son worked very hard before he got married, but what happened? Get married and become the son of an adult family.
The original owner himself has grown crookedly, loves to be lazy and take advantage of others, and now he is even more confident in chewing on the old man. Not only does he chew on the old man, he also asks his parents to exploit his elder brother and takes the elder brother with him.
His eldest brother is a filial man. Although he is reluctant to work in the city, he still gives half of his monthly salary to his parents. When he has a break, he buys food and drinks and comes back to visit his parents. The money and things are logical. Everything went to the original owner, so his little life was very comfortable.
Now that he no longer had to worry about food and drink, and he was old enough, the original owner began to think about getting a wife.
The problem is that although he has no ability, he has quite high standards. He doesn't look down on the rustic girls in the village and only likes the fair and tender ones with good looks.
The key is, he likes that kind of girl, and that kind of girl doesn't like him.
One time, I was too lazy to go to work. When I was walking home, I happened to meet a beautiful female student from the same village who fell into the river. The original owner's eyes lit up, and she jumped into the river with a splash and fished her out.
Don't get me wrong, he is not acting out of righteousness.
He was thinking of taking advantage of the opportunity and taking advantage of it in the name of saving people.
The original owner was doing the job quite smoothly. The female student was half-drowsed and didn't notice it at the time. When villagers heard the noise and ran over, he just happened to catch her.
For the original owner, this was a near miss.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, I heard that the female student had caught a wind and had a high fever when she came home. She was busy taking care of her sick mother and her father, who had broken his leg, couldn't spare any time. He didn't know how it happened, so he just burned it. became mute.
Originally, she was good-looking and a high school student, so her future prospects were definitely not limited to this small village, but now she suddenly became mute. Even if she had a high school degree, jobs are so popular now, who would recruit a mute.
Her father broke his leg and couldn't work, her mother was sick and had to spend money to buy medicine, she herself was mute and couldn't find a job, and because she was an only child, she had to take care of her parents and couldn't do anything. If she wanted to cure her mother, she had to have money to buy medicine. Medicine, but where does the family have money and where does it come from.
The female student had no choice but to find a matchmaker on her own and asked her to help find her husband's family. She also asked her to ask for a betrothal gift, and when she got married, the man would help take care of her natal family.
According to the doctor's estimation, this money could be used to buy medicine and slowly take care of her body, her mother would at least gradually get better.
The problem is that they are all from the village, and they are not rich. The bride price is three times the usual gift. It would be better if she was not mute, but now she is mute, and she can’t find a job even with a high school degree. Who is willing to spend this money? money to marry.
What's more, not to mention spending money, she will have to take care of her parents' family in the future, which is not cost-effective.
Others are not happy, but the original owner is happy.
He just covets someone with good looks and a good figure. It doesn't matter if she is mute or not, as long as she looks good or not.
When I got my thoughts on it, I planned to marry someone and be happy.
The family did not agree at first, thinking that everyone was mute, and her parents seemed to be a burden now. It was useless to marry such a daughter-in-law, but they couldn't stand the original owner and insisted on marrying her.
So they gritted their teeth and agreed. Most of the betrothal gifts were money from the original owner's eldest brother's previous filial piety.
The original owner was still not satisfied. He said that his wedding was a big day, asked for money to buy things, and wanted a bicycle to show off. He deceived his parents and asked them to ask his eldest brother for the bicycle. He said that he would pay for it when the bicycle arrived, but he turned around. Just spent the money.
When the eldest brother came to ask for money, he went to talk to his parents again, saying that the eldest brother did not regard his younger brother as a member of the family, and only wanted to get money from them to supplement the eldest sister-in-law's family.
This time, they stepped on a minefield in the minds of the two elders. The thing they were most taboo about was that their eldest son, who had worked so hard to bring him up, went to someone else's house to become a "son-in-law." They immediately sided with their younger son without hesitation.
The original owner's brother felt depressed. He was a filial man and originally wanted to stay overnight. But because of this incident, he felt that his parents were partial and couldn't stay at home anymore, so he hurried back after dark.
As a result, it was too dark and there were no street lights at this time, so I slipped and fell into the pond.
It was late at night, so he was not as lucky as the female student. Someone came out to rescue him, and he sank after a few flops.
The eldest son died, and the original owner's parents were stunned. They were angry that the eldest son had left them in the city and ran to become someone else's "son-in-law", causing them to be ridiculed, but they never thought about their eldest son's death.
Both of them almost cried their eyes out and were filled with regret.
Only the original owner was still heartless. After the eldest brother was buried, he was struggling to arrange his own marriage.
As for the woman, she was saved by the original owner. When she was most desperate and helpless, the original owner agreed to marry her and help her take care of her parents. This is enough to make a girl full of longing for her future husband. .
As a result, the original owner gave her a bride price, but he never thought about helping her take care of her parents.
Anyway, he was well off and married, and the person who married him was his, but he just didn't take care of her. What could a helpless and mute woman do to him
At this moment, the female student also realized that she had fallen into a trap. She wanted a divorce, but she couldn't get it several times because she couldn't speak. This made the original owner angry and beat her up.
When the second elder was around, she could still stop him. But when the second elder died early due to depression due to the death of her eldest son, her life completely fell into domestic violence and darkness.
She was pregnant twice, once with twins, but she was violently raped by her original owner as she was about to give birth, and eventually gave birth to a pair of stillborn babies.
The last time I got pregnant, I gave birth to a daughter. The child had a high fever, but the original owner thought it was a worthless girl. She refused to go to a doctor, and even thought smart enough to wipe the child's body with cold water to cool down.
The result can be imagined. It was winter, the baby girl was already sick, and she was rubbed with cold water and was not dried or wrapped in swaddling clothes. The baby girl died that day.
She went crazy after losing her child.
While still in confinement, she chased the original owner with scissors and stabbed her all the way. After that, the original owner died. She was also arrested for intentional homicide and spent her whole life in prison.
Ji Changze has finished watching the original plot and feels that the original owner is really awesome.
He alone has directly or indirectly killed his wife, parents, eldest brother, sister-in-law, three children, and a total of eight people.
[Ding! The memory has been transferred. The mission is to protect your parents, wife, and children. Change the ending. It is not OOC. Please choose whether to stay.]
Ji Changze: [Stay.]
The system went offline after publishing the task.
The voice of the middle-aged woman outside was still loud and full of righteousness and deep dissatisfaction:
"I've known for a long time that you just married a wife and forgot your mother. When you went to the city and became a city dweller, you forgot about your younger brother who was still suffering in the countryside? You don't even think about it. Nagasawa hasn't done it yet. When he learned to swim, you took him to play, but he fell into the river and drowned. If he hadn't been so lucky, how could he be alive now? What did you tell me when your brother just woke up? ?You said it was all your fault and you would definitely take good care of your brother in the future, but this is how you take care of your brother now?!!"
"I just need a bicycle. You and your wife both work in the city and have public meals, so you can't afford it? Oh, that's amazing. This morning I was still thinking about how you finally learned to be filial to me and your father. , I knew I came back to see us, but what happened? He turned around and asked me for money for the bicycle. I went out to find out whose married son asked his parents for money!!"
Ji Changguang was so scolded by her that he was sweating profusely. He could only explain in a weak voice: "Mom, you have to be reasonable. This money was originally given to Changze by Huifen and I. How can I ask for money from you?"
"Bah! You went to the city to become your son-in-law, and Nagasawa lives with me and your father. If you ask him for money, aren't you asking for money from us! Do you insist that we give you this money?! Okay! I’ll go to your factory and ask to see if your leaders think what you’re doing is right, and it’s right! If they think it’s right, then I’ll pay for it!!”
After Ji Changze listened for a while, he could roughly tell that Ji's mother was smart. She seemed to be a country girl, but in fact, she was talking about how the eldest son felt sorry for the younger son in the past, while threatening to go to work for the eldest son. The place is noisy.
She is Ji Changguang's biological mother. If she accuses her son of being unfilial, at least he will be looked down upon, and at worst, he will lose his job and his reputation will be ruined.
Although Ji Changze knew after hearing a few words that this was just to scare Ji Changguang, although the Ji family's parents ran against their eldest son because he became someone else's "son-in-law", after all, it was their own child and it was impossible for Ji Changguang to lose his job.
But Ji Changguang doesn't know if he can't stand it.
In this day and age, work and reputation are both important, and he will definitely give in if he is accused of threats.
Sure enough, Ji Changguang's urgent voice came from outside: "Mom, what do you think you are doing? If you hadn't told my father that you wanted me to help carry the bicycle, I would have thought..."
"What do you think? You are the elder brother. It's good that I didn't ask you for money when this brother Nagasawa got married. Buying a bicycle will make you feel wronged. Come on, you don't want to give it. Just push it back. Ming Son, I went to ask my in-laws how they could be so capable. They obviously wanted to marry their daughter, but in the end they made my son their son-in-law. Now it’s fine. They tried every means to get money from our Ji family and give it to their family. Hey Oh, you are really capable."
After saying this, Ji Changguang immediately became anxious.
If his mother really got into such a trouble, his wife would have no reputation, so she could only coax her:
"Mom, if you don't push it back, we won't ask for the money. This bike will be given to Nagasawa. Don't be angry or get angry again."
"That's pretty much it!"
Ji's mother glared at her son fiercely, thinking that even though she had said so much, Ji Changguang still refused to let go. As a result, when she mentioned his daughter-in-law, he quickly agreed and became even more angry.
Who could be as miserable as her, who worked so hard to raise a son, only to forget about his mother when he got a daughter-in-law
She shamelessly shook off his hand that was trying to help her, turned around and was about to enter the house.
As a result, as soon as he turned around, he faced Ji Changze who was coming out of the room.
"Hey, Nagasawa is out?"
Ji's mother's originally stern face immediately burst into laughter, and she greeted her warmly: "Didn't you say you wanted to take a nap after eating? It's not even time for dinner yet, why do you want to do it now?" Are you awake? Are you hungry? Mom put dried sweet potatoes in the house. The weather is still a bit cold. You can eat it in bed and I will take it to the house for you. "
Ji Changguang's face behind her was filled with sadness.
He brought the dried sweet potatoes, and he didn't even want to eat them, just to make his parents sweet.
As a result, I didn't get a good word, and even got scolded.
Ji Changze didn't go to see his eldest brother. He opened his mouth and said a few sweet words to Ji's mother: "Thank you, Mom. Mom, you are so kind. You always think of me in everything you do. I will definitely be filial to you and my dad when I succeed in the future and let you live in a big house." , chicken, duck and fish every day, you can eat whatever you want."
These words coaxed Ji's mother to smile a little wider, and her eyes were full of joy when she looked at her cute little son: "You are a very filial child."
After saying that, she looked back at her eldest son and snorted: "It's not like your brother, he's such a white-eyed wolf."
Ji Changguang, who pays half of his salary every month, thinks of his parents whenever he sees something delicious and delicious: "..."
He felt wronged, for such a big man, he wanted to shed tears.
Ji Changguang just couldn't figure out how his parents could be so partial. He obviously paid more than Nagasawa and thought of his parents in everything he did, but why did they always only have Nagasawa in their eyes.
He felt aggrieved and depressed. In addition, buying that bicycle not only cost him connections to get the bicycle ticket, but also spent all his savings. The result was like this, and he still didn't get a good look from his parents.
Ji Changguang felt depressed. Originally, Ji Changguang planned to stay at home for one night before going to the city the next day, but now, he suddenly didn't want to stay there anymore.
His parents didn't want to see him anyway.
He spoke in a low voice, not embarrassed to say that he was jealous of his younger brother, so he gave a random reason: "Mom, I will go back first, Huifen is still at home waiting for me to eat."
This was also said with a bit of childlike anger.
If you don’t feel sorry for me, if someone does, I don’t have a place to live or food to eat.
It turned out that it was okay if he didn't say it. Once he did, Ji's mother was so angry that she almost swung the broom at her eldest son.
What a rag. He didn't want to stay at his own house, so he had to go to his father-in-law's mother-in-law's house. Now he finally came back to see his parents, but he couldn't even live there because of his wife.
How could she give birth to such a terrible son
"Go!! You go!! If anyone is stopping you, get out of here!!"
Ji Changguang, who felt that he was scolded for no reason, felt even more aggrieved. He turned around and walked out. Ji Changze saw that he was about to take the "step of drowning" and quickly chased after him.
"Brother, I'm just going to the hut, let's go together."
As he spoke, he put his hand on his eldest brother's shoulder with a playful smile, as if they had a good relationship with him, and pulled the confused Ji Changguang out.
When they got outside, Ji Changze said directly: "Brother, why are you always making mom angry? Seeing how angry she is, her face is turning green."
Ji Changguang was still confused about how his younger brother, who had never been very close to him, was suddenly willing to go with him. When he heard this, he felt aggrieved in his heart.
He said in a sullen voice: "I didn't offend my mother, it's because my mother doesn't like me."
"Nonsense."
Ji Changze still looked nonchalant: "Mom likes you. When you first went to the city, she cried every day because she missed you. She talked about you while cooking and eating. She could talk about you at least eight hundred times a day."
Ji Changguang, who was in the state of "My parents don't love my brother and they only want to spend my money" was shocked and raised his head in disbelief: "Really?"
"Really, why did I lie to you? I heard my mother say your name, and it made my ears go numb."
Ji Changze didn't lie. Ji's mother talked about her eldest son every day.
But they are all gritted teeth.
Ji Changguang, who didn't know this, felt a little lighter: "Mom, you actually miss me so much?"
He thought his mother didn't like him.
"No, big brother, I'm not talking about you as a younger brother. Your parents love you so much, why do you always do things that make them sad?"
Ji Changguang was stunned: "I didn't do anything to make them sad."
"You still said no, just tell me, today, you gave our family a bicycle, right? No matter where you put it, it will be praised. Why is it here that my mother doesn't praise you, but scolds you? ?”
Ji Changguang shook his head blankly.
Ji Changguang patted him on the shoulder: "Tell me about you. Mom originally thought that you were snatched away by your sister-in-law. You still acted like you were afraid that your mother wouldn't hate your sister-in-law enough. What did you just say? You and your sister-in-law are in the city every day. We see each other every day. My parents can see each other a few times a month. After finally coming back, I still think about going home to have dinner with my sister-in-law. Can mom be happy? Don’t you think your son was raised in vain? "
"I'm not... I don't think so, I..."
"You didn't think that, but that's what you said. I know you have a good relationship with your sister-in-law, but it's fine if you're good. Why are you showing off in front of your mother? Oh, she gave birth to you and raised you, but you turned around and ran away. I went to my sister-in-law’s house, but I’m not happy to even stay there for one night. Tell me, will Mom feel happy?”
Ji Changguang drooped his head: "I really don't mean that."
"I also know that you didn't mean it. So, just pay attention next time. I will help you say more nice things, and you will praise your sister-in-law in front of your mother for being filial to them. Every time you come back from shopping, you don't mention your sister-in-law. How can you, mother?" It’s weird to see your sister-in-law kissing you.”
"Anyway, next time when you bring something up, just say that your sister-in-law insisted on buying it for your parents. I guarantee that your mother won't scold you."
Ji Changguang wrote it down seriously, looked at his brother with a more grateful look, and asked in a low voice with a touch of intimacy:
"Nagaze, tell me, since my father and mother also love me, why do you have to let me buy you a bicycle?"
If it weren't for his partiality towards Ji Changze, how could he have said it
Ji Changze counted on his fingers: "Look, when we were young, you took me to play, but you ended up being too busy to play and ignored me, causing me to fall into the water. Do you remember this?"
The tall man in front of him nodded.
"When I was a kid, I always had good health and a smarter brain than you. Do you remember this?"
Ji Changguang nodded again.
Ji Changze: "Ever since I fell into the water and almost drowned, I have become weak. I can't do this or that, and my brain is not as smart as before. You also know this."
They can't do this or that, but they are all pretended by the original owner so that they can eat and drink while being sick and not working.
But Ji Changguang didn't know.
Recalling that he almost killed his brother in the past, he showed some guilt in his eyes: "Nagaze, I really didn't mean it at that time..."
"I know I know."
Ji Changze comforted him: "Brother, you definitely didn't mean it, but think about it, why didn't I go to school before? Isn't it because I was weak and couldn't get up early? Look at you again. You are in good health. You have gone to school and graduated. I can also be a worker, what about me, brother?"
He sighed, as if he was very sad: "Because I was flooded when I was a child, I was weak. Because I was weak, I couldn't go to school, and I couldn't work in the city like you. Because I was too weak to do farm work and I couldn't find a job. Work, that’s why it’s so hard to find a wife. Because it’s hard to find a wife, I found a mute wife. Although I like my wife very much, in our situation, we definitely have to show our face in the village. Then it’s not necessary. Got your bike?"
"If I hadn't been drowned by you when I was a child, and now like you, working in the city and getting so much salary every month, would I still use my bicycle to show my dignity? I definitely don't!"
The logic of this series is as perfect as "you ate one of my eggs, and the chicken laid eggs. In summary: you ate my whole chicken farm."
Coupled with Ji Changze's righteous expression and confident attitude, it is even more convincing:
"So brother, tell me, should you give me this bike?"
The honest man Ji Changguang was successfully fooled and nodded stupidly.
"Yes, it should be given!"
He thought that he actually rejected his younger brother because of this bicycle and didn't even want to stay at home. For a moment, he felt guilty in his heart.
"Nagaze, I didn't think about it before. Don't blame me."
"Hey, my whole family, it's outrageous to say this."
Ji Changze smiled and patted his elder brother on the shoulder:
"I forgive you."
