Qiu Xiaochan opened her eyes, and what she saw was a low adobe house with a thatched roof, and a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were arguing in front of her.
The young woman raised her waist and raised her face with a bear, "What's wrong with Li San, isn't he just blind in one eye? If he had a full beard and tail, he wouldn't come to our house to propose marriage. My little sister is a widow." , and Kefu’s reputation, no one in Shangyao Village dares to marry her, what’s the use of being good-looking, you can’t carry it on your shoulders, and if you rot at home, you’ll be a loser that no one wants.”
The old woman snorted and cursed, "You bitch who has been blinded by lard, don't think I don't know what you're thinking about, secretly taking money from the Li family to sell the girl, right! Let me tell you , as long as I am in this family, no one is allowed to abuse Xiaochan, even if I don't marry for the rest of my life, I will support her!"
The woman sneered, pointed at the silent sister-in-law and sneered, "You raise, what do you use to raise, don't let us send you food every month if you have the ability, in the end we are not the brothers and sisters-in-law." Raising her! I really think of myself as the young mistress of the landlord’s family, but unfortunately, my fate is bad, I can’t be a young mistress in this life, I only deserve to marry someone who lacks arms and legs.”
The old lady was furious when she heard this, her phlegm was stuck and she almost couldn't breathe, Qiu Xiaochan hurried over to help her and pat her on the back, waiting for her to cough up the phlegm before saving half her life.
While the two were arguing, Qiu Xiaochan had already received the original owner's information from the system. This girl from the mountain village with the same name and surname as her was a passer-by mentioned in the time text.
The original owner was born prematurely and weak, and her parents thought she would not be able to support her. Mrs. Zheng of the landlord’s family took pity on her and asked the long-term worker in the family to send goat milk to her every day to make up for her. After two months of raising the baby, who was already dying, she gradually recovered. Although she was a bit prettier than other dolls of the same age, she survived anyway.
Perhaps it was because of the goat's milk that the original owner had grown up since she was a child, and she was very tender and cute. Mrs. Zheng had a lot of affection for her, and proposed to let the original owner, who was only three years old, be married to her youngest son.
The daughter climbed into the marriage of the landlord's family, and the Qius and his wife were naturally very willing. It was a good marriage, but who knew that the land reform was carried out in the past five years, and the fiancé was beaten. Look out for the few".
Because she is the daughter-in-law of a landlord's family, although she has never been married, in the countryside, as long as they have engaged and kissed, they are considered husband and wife. In the past ten years, people have been talking about this because of this. Many young men secretly liked her. Originally, her marriage was not that difficult, but when the original owner was 17 or 18 years old, there were rumors of overcoming. Those who came to propose marriage were all digging melons and cracking dates. Her mother, Zhang Daying, loved her daughter and would rather keep her at home than let go. Therefore, the original owner has not yet found a satisfactory husband's family at the age of 21. She is already an old leftover woman in the countryside. .
According to the development of the story, Zhang Daying will die a year later. As soon as she left the original owner, she was promised by the greedy sister-in-law to an elderly widower in a neighboring village. She was poor, ugly and domestically violent. The beating was so hard that I felt that there was nothing to love in life and I wanted to die. The wish before death was to have a good marriage in the next life.
Chen Guilian left after complaining. The husband and wife separated and built another house, and they did not live together with the mother and daughter. They said that Zhang Daying disagreed with the marriage and had to let it go. Chen Guilian was so angry that she was going to die. She took ten yuan from others. The Li family said that they would give one hundred yuan after the good things are done. Now that one hundred yuan is not available, even the ten yuan has to be returned. Who can exchange the money she got? Happy
Tired of the quarrel, Zhang Daying sat down to rest, took his daughter's hand and said sadly, "Xiao Chan, don't worry about Chen Guilian, Mom will definitely not push you into the fire pit."
Zhang Daying didn't even mention Li San's name. The girl had already suffered a loss in her marriage. She really didn't want her daughter to suffer from this again, but the old man was gone, and her body suffered badly. Every year was worse than every year. , I don't know if I can see my daughter get married smoothly in my lifetime.
Qiu Xiaochan knew that Zhang Daying really loved her daughter, since she accepted this body, she naturally had to do her filial piety for the original owner.
Regardless of whether it is emotionally or selfishly, Qiu Xiaochan hopes that Zhang Daying can live a few more years. She lives, and the days to come will only be better or worse.
At this time, a robot-like system voice sounded in Qiu Xiaochan's mind, "You came at a very good time, Qiu's mother is not dead yet, from now on, as long as you find someone who truly loves you for the rest of your life, the mission will be over."
Qiu Xiaochan is not as optimistic as the system, "It's easy to say, where can I find a good man in this environment."
In a remote mountain village in the 1970s, rural youths who were about the same age were married long ago. The original owner had a bad reputation, a bad reputation, and was too weak to do heavy work. She doesn't look like she's twenty-one and hasn't married yet.
As for the heroine in the novel, he is from the village of the old widower, a deep, introverted, industrious and brave young man, who was acquired by the heroine in the book early on, and she didn't even have a chance to compete with the heroine.
The system reminded, "Did you forget the detector? The detector can detect the Lord of Luck within a radius of ten miles."
Any man who can be selected as the Lord of Luck must be the best choice in all aspects. For example, the hero in the novel, although he is just an ordinary mountain village youth, will seize the opportunity of reform and opening up to become the first to become rich in the future. that batch.
Qiu Xiaochan really didn't think about it, the main reason is that all the tasks she completed before were monster-killing tasks, and she had never used this function before. Hearing this, she couldn't help but said happily, "Really? That's great, it's good to have target tasks Much done."
After confirming the Lord of Luck, she can completely convert the task into the strategy of the male lead, which is better than choosing someone aimlessly.
"It takes 80,000 points to buy this item."
Qiu Xiaochan was speechless, "I only have 600,000 points for one mission."
System points can be used to purchase props and space items, and can also be cashed in the real world. Five points can be exchanged for one RMB, and 80,000 points is a lot of money.
She had just withdrawn cash before coming here, and now there are hundreds of thousands of points left in the system. In the 1970s, it was a planned economy, and these points were reserved for exchanging items.
The system narrated in his flat tone, "After all, it is a useful tool, isn't it?"
The tools purchased by the traveler can be used indefinitely, that is to say, if Qiu Xiaochan buys a detector in this mission, she does not need to spend points to buy it in future missions, which is totally worth the money.
Qiu Xiaochan let out a long sigh, finding out the Lord of Luck is indeed more important than filling her stomach. If she can’t get married, she has to live with this identity until the original owner dies. Can't get it.
Just when the system thought she didn't want to exchange it, Qiu Xiaochan actually started bargaining, "Can I get a discount or something? You know, my balance is running out, so I have to persist until the end of the mission, right?"
"The price is clearly marked, and the old man is innocent. You are a regular customer. I don't need to explain this rule."
Qiu Xiaochan had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll exchange it."
As soon as the voice fell, the system balance decreased by 80,000 yuan, and there was an extra telescope-like prop in the space, which was what the system called a detector.
After getting the props, Qiu Xiaochan didn’t use it immediately, she was going to fill her stomach first, and now the food is difficult, the original owner only drank a bowl of sweet potato porridge with clear soup and little water in the morning, and it was time for the meal, and Qiu Xiaochan’s stomach had already started to eat. Gurg and grunt, I was only focused on arguing with Chen Guilian before, and the meal at home hasn't been cooked yet.
"Mom, there's no rush to get married. If you're not in good health, you should rest first. I'll go and make dinner first."
Zhang Daying sighed and nodded, "Go, the food at home is running out, and I don't know if your sister-in-law will cut off our food after this quarrel."
She is not in good health, and her daughter is weak and unable to do heavy work. The work points earned by the two of them are barely enough to feed their families.
When the family was separated, it was agreed that the son and daughter-in-law would provide ten catties of food every month, but Chen Guilian had the final say on whether to give it or not, usually only once every two or three months.
"Mom, don't think about those unhappy things, let's take a step at a time, I'm already this old, I will take good care of you."
After comforting Zhang Daying, Qiu Xiaochan went into the kitchen. There was indeed not much rice in the rice tank, and there were some sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes in the corner. She cooked a small pot of sweet potato rice and stewed a bowl of egg custard according to the memory of the original owner. I picked vegetables in the yard and made vegetarian stir-fried vegetables and pumpkin beans.
Qiu Xiaochan is good at cooking, after all, she honed it on missions, and the family was short of oil and salt, so she secretly exchanged some of her points for some, so when she put the prepared meals on the table, Zhang Daying was very surprised, and tasted it. I was even more surprised after taking a sip.
"Xiao Chan, your rice tastes really good today, and your cooking has improved."
Zhang Daying would never think about changing the core for his daughter and conjuring the seasoning.
Qiu Xiaochan smiled calmly, "Yeah, I'm already this old, so I must improve. Mom, why don't you leave all the meals at home to me in the future."
She was afraid that Zhang Daying would see the clues, so she didn't dare to blatantly conjure up ingredients that she didn't have at home, so she could only work on the seasoning and made it as light as possible, but there was still a big difference between the dishes with oily water and those without oily water. Fortunately, the original owner didn’t cook much at home. Zhang Daying was in poor health and her sense of bitterness and taste deteriorated, so she could barely cope with it. However, Qiu Xiaochan was a person who valued her appetite, so she would definitely not be able to eat food without oil and water every day. It was the most trouble-free The best way is to take over the kitchen, so that she can decide what to cook for each meal, and Zhang Daying will not remember so clearly.
After eating, Qiu Xiaochan washed the dishes and went back to the room to rest, taking advantage of this moment to quietly study the detector.
With a thought, a series of data appeared on the system screen, and finally it was fixed on a photo. The man in the photo had handsome facial features and firm eyes, and his personal profile was written below the photo.
Gu Wenqian, a native of the capital, 25 years old, a college student in Qing Dynasty, was classified as a family member because his father had overseas ties, and his mother was also a capitalist lady. The standard "five black categories" were sent to Shangyao Village four years ago. Now He lived in the cowshed at the entrance of the village.
It's obviously the same village, but the original owner doesn't remember Gu Wenqian at all. It's no wonder, after all, the original owner is also of poor status, and he is quite excluded in the village. He calculated three work points, so he never met Gu Wenqian face to face in the past four years.
