Chapter 121 Dong Siwei's Origins

After this guess popped into Cheng Jiajia's mind, it was as if a sudden enlightenment had struck her, and many things that she couldn't understand before were instantly explained.

Why did Dong Siwei force her way into her own home? Why did Dong Siwei take the initiative to get to know Zheng Haiyang?

Because she knew that Zheng Haiyang would become the richest man in the future, and she also knew that Zheng Haiyang had obtained valuable things from Yu Junsheng.

That's why the purpose is very clear.

Judging from the arrogant and superior look in Dong Siwei's eyes, it's most likely that she transmigrated into a book.

That would be a bit troublesome.

Cheng Jiajia frowned. Her situation with Yu Junsheng was different from the original plot, and she wondered if Yu Junsheng would discover something.

In the ensuing turbulent times, this became a major hidden danger.

Seeing Cheng Jiajia staring blankly for a while and then frowning, Yu Junsheng assumed she was still worried that Dong Siwei was after their things, so he comforted her, "Honey, don't worry too much. There's nothing in our house that anyone would covet." He was certain that the things buried under the storage room wouldn't be discovered, and there really wasn't anything else.

Cheng Jiajia looked at the man who was concerned about her and sighed, "We have to be careful in the future. Dong Siwei might end up like us."

Yu Junsheng was taken aback.

...

On the other side, Dong Siwei and Xu Dongliang were unwilling to give the 50 cents, and Chang Dafeng berated them for a full ten minutes before they had no choice but to give the money (cursing under their breath).

Then they revealed the purpose of their trip. Dong Siwei knew this was the male lead's mother, and even though she was being treated this way, she was still very polite. "Auntie, we really have no ill intentions. We've just heard a lot about Brother Zheng Haiyang and wanted to get to know him." She thought to herself, "Now that the old woman has taken the money, she should do her job, right?"

To everyone's surprise, Chang Dafeng immediately became wary upon hearing this request. "What?! You want to meet my eldest son?"

"Yes, yes, I've heard that Brother Zheng is a very righteous and kind person, so I'd like to get to know him."

Chang Dafeng's gaze swept across Dong Siwei and Xu Dongliang's faces like a searchlight, making the two of them feel uncomfortable.

With such a terrible reputation, anyone who comes to them at this time is either a fool or has ulterior motives.

However, these two fools seemed to be rich. Chang Dafeng's eyes lit up and she blurted out, "Oh my, you two young comrades really have good taste. My eldest son is indeed someone everyone praises. There are so many people who want to befriend him that they could line up from my house all the way to Qianmen."

“Last time, a young man also said he wanted to get to know my eldest son. Oh my, he was so polite. He just stuffed ten yuan into my hand. I felt so embarrassed. How could I accept his money? So I quickly called my son back and let the two of them chat.”

After saying that, Chang Dafeng looked at the two idiots opposite her with a smile, "Got it? If you want to get to know them, give me the money!"

Dong Siwei and Xu Dongliang naturally understood, and their faces darkened.

It costs money to know your son?

Bah! How come you're not greedy enough to die a horrible death, you old hag!

But considering Zheng Haiyang's future achievements, they had to spend the money, no matter how reluctant they were. They understood the principle that if you want to curry favor with someone, you can't offend their mother.

Dong Siwei glanced at Xu Dongliang urging him on.

Xu Dongliang pursed his lips, and could only painfully pull out a handful of bills from the inside pocket of his Zhongshan suit, intending to give Chang Dafeng several tens of yuan to shut the old woman up.

To everyone's surprise, Chang Dafeng's eyes lit up when she saw the money, and she snatched it away.

"No, ma'am, what are you doing?!"

His eyes were glued to the money he had just received, and he said impatiently, "Okay, okay, my eldest son is still at work today. He's not home. Come to my house again tomorrow when he's off work, and I'll introduce you to him."

He shooed them away like flies, saying, "You should all go back now!"

Dong Siwei and Xu Dongliang: "..."

Damn it, I have a feeling that I've been tricked by this old hag.

...

After handing over all the money and tickets they had, Dong Siwei and Xu Dongliang walked out of the courtyard looking dejected.

His hair was disheveled, and he looked utterly disheveled, a far cry from the high spirits he had displayed when he arrived.

On the way, the two complained to each other.

Xu Dongliang wiped the foul-smelling saliva from his face, trying to suppress the nausea churning in his stomach, and said with disgust, "Dong Siwei, are you sure that Zheng Haiyang will be capable in the future? With a mother like that, what kind of ability can he possibly have?!" If it weren't for Dong Siwei's instigation, he would never want to deal with such an old woman for the rest of his life.

Dong Siwei retorted, "I didn't say anything wrong, she's just capable! Besides, it's because you couldn't handle things, you gave her all your money after being scolded by that old woman, almost twenty yuan!" Dong Siwei was quite distressed.

Xu Dongliang said impatiently, "Didn't you tell me to give it to you? By the way, you didn't bring any money with you?"

Dong Siwei was speechless. Actually, she had money on her, but she didn't want to give it to Chang Dafeng, nor did she want to offend the male lead's mother, so she urged Xu Dongliang to give her the money.

She glanced guiltily at the man beside her, then feigned magnanimity and said, "Never mind, it's only twenty yuan. The old woman told us to go directly to her house to see Zheng Haiyang tomorrow, so it's good news. As long as we get along well with Zheng Haiyang, we won't have to worry about anything in the future."

A flash of malice crossed Xu Dongliang's eyes. Damn it, she's useless at everything, but she's got a knack for spending money. And it's only twenty yuan? Since they met, this woman has cost him hundreds of yuan. If she weren't still useful, he would have killed her long ago.

He didn't say anything, and Dong Siwei thought that this person didn't care about such a small amount of money, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Lost in her own thoughts, she didn't notice the strange behavior of the man beside her.

That's right, Dong Siwei transmigrated into the book.

She was originally an ordinary college student in the 21st century. Her greatest pleasure was reading novels. She not only read them outside of class, but sometimes she would also sneak them in during class. This time, she transmigrated while reading novels all night.

When Dong Siwei learned that she had transmigrated into the historical novel "Our 60s and 70s" that she had read, she immediately decided to seek help from powerful figures.

The richest man in the story belongs to the female lead, so Dong Siwei didn't dare to make any advances. Instead, she set her sights on Xu Dongliang, a man who later became close to the male lead.

Xu Dongliang is the most capable brother of the male protagonist in the later stages of the story. He owns a sizable company and is very successful in his career. He is also very morally upright, but he remains single due to rumors that he is unlucky in marriage. He doesn't have any romantic entanglements with any female characters until the end of the book. This made readers in the comments section feel sorry for him, and they jokingly called him a bachelor.

While reading the book, Dong Siwei thought the female characters were incredibly stupid. Instead of seizing such a rare and wonderful man, they were still agonizing over whether he was a jinx to their wives. What idiots! She even thought that if it were her, she definitely wouldn't let such a high-quality man go.

Therefore, the first thing Dong Siwei did after learning that she had transmigrated into the book was to try and get close to Xu Dongliang. She wanted to marry him and become a woman who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

What does it mean to be a jinx to one's wife?

Dong Siwei curled her lip in disdain. These feudal and ignorant people—she was a model socialist youth of the new century, and she didn't believe in such unfounded things.

After successfully getting to know Xu Dongliang and becoming his girlfriend, Dong Siwei started to set her sights on the male and female leads.

Since she's already transmigrated into a book, she definitely has to latch onto the male and female leads' coattails so that her transmigration won't be in vain.

Although she was just an ordinary college student, Dong Siwei believed that by relying on her familiarity with the plot and by trying to get close to the male and female leads, she would definitely be able to cross social classes and live a wealthy life.

That's why we're in this mess today.

...

Why did they target Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng?

Naturally, it was because Dong Siwei had read the entire text in detail and knew that Zheng Haiyang's initial capital for making his fortune came from selling something left behind by the dead Yu Junsheng, so she started to have wicked ideas.

It just so happens that the stepsister of this body married Yu Junsheng, so getting whatever she wants is a piece of cake.

I never expected to suffer such a crushing defeat!

That little bitch Cheng Jiajia actually treated me like a thief, not even letting me into her house.

Dong Siwei gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "Let's come back tomorrow. I don't believe Cheng Jiajia will still stop me from coming in!"

Once she gets into the Yu family, things will be much easier; she'll definitely be able to find that valuable treasure!

As for Cheng Jiajia's concern about why reality has changed from the book, and why she didn't marry Zheng Haiyang but instead married Yu Junsheng?

Dong Siwei said it didn't matter; it must be the butterfly effect caused by her time travel. Anyway, they were just two cannon fodder who would die young. Getting married would save them some trouble.

In this way, the male and female protagonists wouldn't have gotten together after their second marriages, and therefore wouldn't have had that child.

The male protagonist became a stepfather at a young age and treated someone else's son with all his heart; he was so foolish.

Back when Dong Siwei was reading the book, she found this child an eyesore and felt quite sorry for the male lead.

Now it's all good; the male and female leads are both their original spouses, and there won't be anyone else in between.

...

After the two men left the courtyard, Chang Dafeng darted into the west wing and slammed the door shut, as if afraid they would regret it and come back to take the money back.

Chang Dafeng excitedly pulled out the money, spat on her hand, and started counting, "Ten yuan, five yuan, two yuan, one yuan..." Her eyes shone brighter as she counted, "I'm rich! I'm rich! Eighteen yuan and fifty cents!"

Zheng Haicheng was a little envious when he saw it, "Mom, where did you get so much money?"

Chang Dafeng chuckled, "Given by two big idiots!" And they really were idiots, believing whatever she said.

Zheng Haicheng: "..." Why isn't anyone stupid enough to give me money?

Dong Siwei and Xu Dongliang: "..." You're the fucking idiot! Your whole family are idiots!

Chang Dafeng made up her mind: when they arrive tomorrow, she must make another killing!

...

Cheng Jiajia also saw Dong Siwei and Xu Dongliang being tricked by Aunt Chang through the window. Her lips twitched. Why did these two seem so stupid?

Her heavy mood eased a little.

Perhaps it's not as bad as I think.

"Don't be too nervous. That guy's own hands aren't clean either." Yu Junsheng handed Cheng Jiajia a handful of freshly roasted sunflower seeds. Even if Dong Siwei discovered something, it would still be a check on their relationship. As long as Dong Siwei didn't want to expose her background, she wouldn't take the step of reporting her.

Cheng Jiajia thought about it and realized it made sense. She immediately felt less worried and started eating sunflower seeds.

Anyway, life goes on.

The two of them spent most of the day whispering and speculating, completely unaware that Dong Siwei didn't take them, the two cannon fodder, seriously attributing their abnormality to herself, thus preventing all the subsequent trouble.

Yu Junsheng scooped the last pot of peanuts into a winnowing basket, then moved it to the doorway of the main room to cool. He and Cheng Jiajia then sat there chatting and watching.

You can't just leave them out of the way, or one of those mischievous kids will grab something and take it away. Lately, quite a few of those things have happened in the neighborhood.

Chang Dafeng, who was trying to take advantage of the situation, spat out, "You cunning little brats!" She had smelled the aroma of the fried dried goods on the other side a long time ago and was planning to sneak a few bites when they weren't paying attention. Who would have thought that these two little brats were so shrewd and were already waiting there.

Chang Dafeng was indignant and started cursing.

...

The next day at work was payday, and Bai Zhenzhu was very shrewd. She wanted Qin Weimin's salary, but she wouldn't ask him for it.

Instead, he deliberately brought it up in front of Qin Weimin that night, urging him to collect his salary.

Qin Weimin has been living in fear for the past two days, and he can't stand the words "finance department" at all. Just mentioning it reminds him of Deng Guangming, and he's filled with dread. Going to the finance department is out of the question.

Without a second thought, he asked Bai Zhenzhu to collect it for him, saying, "Zhenzhu, can you collect it for me?"

At this time, it is common for family members or spouses to collect wages on each other's behalf; all that's needed is a signature.

This was exactly the result Bai Zhenzhu wanted, but she said, "Oh dear, how can that be? Weimin, you should keep your money. Just give me a portion for household expenses."

Qin Weimin was immediately at a loss. How could he explain that he really only wanted her to collect it on his behalf?

At this point, it wasn't easy to explain that he hadn't intended to give the money to Bai Zhenzhu, so he could only put on a brave face and go along with her words, "Zhenzhu, you're being too polite. We're already married. My money is for you to spend, isn't it? What's wrong with you going to collect my salary?"

"Alright, alright, then I'll reluctantly take it for you. I'm just keeping the money safe for you; it's still yours. If you need it, just take it from me."

Qin Weimin: "..."

Actually, you don't have to force yourself to do that.

But now, anything he said would make him seem petty, so he could only keep his mouth shut and let this beautiful misunderstanding continue.

...

On her second day at work, Bai Zhenzhu was in a good mood all day. There were many people collecting their wages on the first day of work, and long queues formed.

Bai Zhenzhu was at the end of the line, humming a song as she waited, calculating in her mind how much money she would receive today.

She received her own 35 yuan, plus the old man's 76 yuan, for a total of 111 yuan!

This salary is comparable to that of the factory manager.

Everyone around me is not as good as I am.

Bai Zhenzhu subconsciously raised her chin slightly and said to the staff member distributing wages with a hint of arrogance, "Pay your wages, Bai Zhenzhu from logistics."

The finance department staff checked the payroll and cash receipts and handed them to her. "It's thirty-five yuan in total, plus last month's receipts. Please count them."

"There's another one, Qin Weimin from the fitter's workshop."

The staff member frowned, then carefully examined the form. "Something's not right. This person has already received their salary."

Bai Zhenzhu's eyelids twitched. "How is that possible?!"

The staff member frowned. "I'm not lying to you. Look, there's a signature on the back."

White Pearl, refusing to believe it, snatched it over and took a look, only to find everything suddenly went black.

Damn it, her money!
