- Chapter 8 - Offering Yourself in Return
Liu Cuihua was furious. Her youngest son had suddenly become a different person these past few days, managing to anger her several times a day!
Although the Zhou Wenshan of the past was not talkative and not sweet-talking, he was obedient!
It’s nothing like it is now, where she gets so angry at the drop of a hat.
Is this because they think she’s living too long and want to drive her to her death?
If it weren’t for the fact that we were outside and there were other people around, she would have picked up a stick and started hitting this dazed thing to wake him up!
She said irritably, “What am I looking at? I’m looking at an idiot! You’re so kind, so cocky. Hurry up and eat, I saved you a cornbread!”
When Zhou Wenshan went over to take a look, he found that there was indeed a cornbread in the basket and about half a bowl of millet porridge in the bucket!
He smiled knowingly. His mother might have been nagging, but she still cared about him!
That’s why we’ve saved the food for him!
I finished the cornbread and half a bowl of millet porridge in just three to five minutes!
After eating, we didn’t get much rest before we had to get back to work.
While planting rice seedlings, Zhou Wenshan was thinking about how to get close to Chen Wan again!
This should be the easiest time for Chen Wan to approach them. Their family has only been sent down to the countryside for about a month, and their hard times have only just begun. There will be even harder times to come!
The huge gap in social status, the unsatisfactory living conditions, and now that I can’t even get enough to eat, I almost starved to death today.
Moreover, she may have been betrayed by relatives and friends. Right now, her heart must be filled with darkness, and she may have lost all hope for life!
Before Zhou Wenshan transmigrated, he was a seasoned novel reader, having read quite a few historical fiction stories!
I am somewhat aware of some of the characteristics of this era.
In some places, these capitalists, who fall into the “Five Black Categories,” have no human rights!
They would drag them out every now and then for a public denunciation meeting, hang placards on them, and parade them through the streets!
They can be bullied by anyone. Even a three-year-old child can throw stones at them and spit on them, and few dare to fight back!
Chen Wan and her family are relatively well-off!
At least in Zhou Wenshan’s memory, there were no denunciation meetings or street parades during this month!
Few people can withstand that kind of criticism campaign!
This is the time when Chen Wan and her family need help the most. If you help them now, they will remember you tenfold!
This is when help truly comes in a time of need!
He needed to think of a way to find out about Chen Wan and see if he could help her family!
As a time traveler, if you encounter a powerful figure who will likely be exonerated in the future, it would be a huge failure and a sign of low emotional intelligence not to try and get on his good side now!
Besides, his main target was the great beauty Chen Wan!
Even if it means being a simp, he’ll still lick the boots of the prettiest one.
Who knows, if you keep licking, you might end up licking your way home!
While working, Zhou Wenshan mentally conjured up several plans that were close to Chen Wan’s ideas, just waiting for him to try them out when he had some free time!
Looking up casually, I saw that Chen Wan’s mother had already returned from home after preparing dinner!
The family consisted of about ten people, each holding a cornbread and munching on it!
Even Chen Wan, who had just eaten, was holding one in her hand; her mother had forced her to eat it!
Even though Chen Wan said she had just drunk a bowl of millet porridge and eaten half a cornbread, her mother was only stunned for a moment, but still insisted that she eat another one!
The situation Chen Wan had just experienced terrified her!
Even in this situation, she didn’t want to lose any of her children!
As Chen Wan ate her cornbread, her eyes inadvertently glanced at Zhou Wenshan, who happened to be looking at her as well!
The two smiled slightly and nodded gently, which was their greeting.
Seeing this, Chen’s mother felt a mix of emotions.
Just over a month ago, her children were living a life of comfort and luxury, but now they are fighting over a single cornbread bun, and their lives have almost been in danger!
After learning that they had been transferred to the countryside, their former friends and colleagues immediately distanced themselves from them!
Even Chen Wan’s fiancé~
Thinking of this, Chen’s mother felt a surge of inexplicable hatred in her heart!
Chen Wan’s fiancé not only broke off the engagement immediately, but also took advantage of their misfortune to distance himself from them by reporting many of their crimes to the GW Association, most of which were fabricated!
It can be said that Chen Wan’s fiancé also played a part in the Chen family’s current predicament!
Otherwise, they would have had some time to prepare before being sent down to the countryside, and wouldn’t have ended up here without bringing anything with them!
Chen Wan almost collapsed at that time. If it weren’t for her parents, brother and sister-in-law keeping a close eye on her, she probably would have been too guilty to go on living!
To be honest, it wasn’t Chen Wan’s fault. Besides, her fiancé was arranged by her parents, and the two of them didn’t get married or date much!
Unexpectedly, in order to distance themselves from the situation, they dealt the Chen family a heavy blow at a crucial moment!
What a shameless scoundrel! Luckily, Chen Wan didn’t marry him, otherwise, who knows what kind of torment she would have suffered!
During the month or so that they were sent to the countryside, they tacitly avoided mentioning their former fiancé to Chen Wan!
I’m just afraid she’ll be sad!
Chen’s mother was worried about Chen Wan’s marriage. Chen Wan was already nineteen years old!
If they hadn’t been sent down to the countryside, they would already be of marriageable age, but now they have to suffer like this with them!
Moreover, given their current status, they have indeed dragged Chen Wan down. Not many decent families would dare to marry the children of capitalists and other “black five categories” as wives!
Unless you’re the kind of shameless bachelor who only cares about himself and has no family to worry about!
If that were the case, they would rather keep Chen Wan than marry her off to that kind of person.
My daughter used to be such a proud person. Even though she had a fiancé, she still had many admirers. Now, even marrying into an ordinary family has become a luxury.
And who knows when this will end?
Chen’s mother glanced at Zhou Wenshan, thought for a moment, and realized that if it were this young man, he would be the best choice!
Young, good-looking, and tall!
And she even saved her daughter, Xiao Wan!
In old plays, it was always said that one should repay a life-saving debt with one’s own body!
As for her daughter Xiao Wan, she is the best in both looks and character. It can be said that she is perfect in every way except for her status!
If I get the chance, I’ll try to find out what that young man has to say!
It can be said that Chen’s mother was extremely worried about Chen Wan.
The farmers they used to look down on have become Xiao Wan’s best match!
Zhou Wenshan had no idea what Chen’s mother was thinking; otherwise, he would have definitely gone over and called her “mother-in-law”!
