Transmigrated as the fake rich daughter, schemed by the reborn true rich daughter to go down to the countryside as an educated youth, living in poverty and destitution, short on food and necessitie...
When Cao Zheng woke up, it was already dawn. He took a set of clothes, opened the door and went downstairs. As soon as he got downstairs, he saw his mother looking at him with an apologetic face.
"Zheng'er, you're awake. Did you sleep well? Are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry. I drank too much yesterday and have no appetite." Cao Zheng looked at his mother strangely. "Mom, something's wrong with you today."
Su Yunhui forced a smile, then froze, not knowing whether to stop. "What's wrong? You came back in such a mess, I was just worried about you!"
Cao Zheng took a step back, looking increasingly strange. "Are you planning on taking advantage of your son?"
"What can I possibly do to you? You're my child, and I've just told you what I want." Su Yunhui's heart sank at her son's defensiveness, and she felt terrible. "Do you think I'll just tell you and not give it to you?"
"It depends on the situation. If I can give it, I will definitely give it to you." Cao Zheng looked at his mother several times. "You don't want me to go on a blind date, do you?"
Su Yunhui's face changed, thinking Cao Zheng knew what she was thinking, and she quickly shook her head, "That's not true. Our family is not that old-fashioned and stubborn. You can find the kind of wife you want to marry yourself. We won't interfere."
Once I intervened, I almost did something bad with good intentions.
His mother had never been so easy to talk to in the past, and Cao Zheng felt more and more that something was fishy; however, since his mother didn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask.
"Well, that's great. You talk to Dad, I'm going to take a shower. I stayed at someone else's house all night last night, and I smell like alcohol."
"Okay, okay, go ahead." Su Yunhui didn't say those words in the end. Just when she was about to say them, she realized that sometimes it was better for everyone to know it in their hearts; it would be boring to say it out loud.
Cao Zheng smiled and went to the bathroom with his clothes.
Su Yunhui returned to sit beside her husband and touched his shoulder. "Fengshou, do you think Cao Zheng knows our plan? He doesn't look like he knows."
"It's you, not us. Don't take me with you." Cao Fengshou glanced at her calmly, then said, "Our Cao Zheng is no fool. How could he really not know what you're planning? I just don't want to make things difficult for you. Cao Zheng! He's a smart kid, but it's a pity he doesn't want to join the army."
The only thing to be thankful for is that the Cao family has no shortage of descendants who can develop in the system.
Su Yunhui curled her lips and said to her husband in dissatisfaction, "Husband and wife are one. My thoughts are different from yours. It's good that Zheng'er knows this. I hope he can get married this year so that I can hold my grandchildren sooner. Look at Rushan from the Yan family. He already has three children, and ours is still unmarried."
Talking about this, I can't help but dislike my son again.
Cao Fengshou nodded in agreement, "That's true, but it's our son's fault for not living up to his expectations."
"well."
The couple sighed together, feeling quite upset; they were really worried about their little son.
After Cao Zheng came out of the shower, the couple still looked at each other helplessly, "Mom and Dad, are you competing to see who can look at you longer?" The two of them looked at each other, and no one spoke.
Damn son!
My own child!
Cao Fengshou retracted his gaze and spoke to his worried son, "You've come just in time. Mom and I were discussing your marriage. You're not young anymore. If you don't get married, you'll be in your thirties. What do people outside say? An older young man. Don't you think you're a worrywart?"
No worries.
Under his father's gaze, Cao Zheng swallowed the words back, "Dad, Mom, don't worry, we don't need grandchildren to hold you, so why bother?"
Why hurt him when he can't find a wife that suits his taste?
"You have to worry about it. You are still young now, so you don't have to get married. When you are old, all the relatives and friends around you will get married, have children and start their own families, and you will be all alone, with no one to eat with during the New Year and other holidays." Su Yunhui sighed.
Cao Zheng's eyes moved slightly. He also wanted to find a wife, but he had seen the relationship between his eldest brother and his sister-in-law. He and his brothers also wanted to find a partner who could go through thick and thin together and support each other. Without finding such a person, none of them had any idea of getting married.
"Dad, Mom."
Cao Fengshou and Su Yunhui looked at him.
"Mom and Dad, I won't be alone forever. I just haven't met the right person." Cao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief after speaking his mind. He looked at his parents' faces and saw that they didn't seem surprised. He continued, "Brother Yan and his wife have a great relationship. Luo Lijun, Lin Kai and I also want to find someone who understands and loves us. If we can't find one, we won't get married for now. If we still haven't found one after we turn 40, we'll find someone suitable and get married."
Cao Fengshou and Su Yunhui breathed a sigh of relief, but their hearts began to lift again. "Forty years old! It's still only ten years away. Who knows what the situation will be like by then?"
"You have your own ideas. As your parents, we don't care about anything else. You plan your own life."
"Yes, I know what I am doing and what to do next." Cao Zheng gave a definite answer, and Cao Fengshou and his wife had to put aside their worries. No matter how worried they were, they could no longer urge their son to find a partner.
The conversation between the three of them came to an end, and Mr. Cao also woke up from his nap. He was such a smart man; seeing that the atmosphere between them was strange, he went to the bathroom without asking. After coming out, he went straight out.
The atmosphere at home is depressing, so it’s better to go out for a walk and relax; meeting a few friends can help you spend another day.
The Cao family's affairs were resolved, and Cao Zheng went out with the land deed he bought from Hongxing Village; he first went to the courtyard house he bought. It was the place where he lived most of the time besides the main courtyard. It was his private residence, and most of his things were there.
As people grow older, they develop secrets and things they care about; what they need most is private space. Cao Zheng had the means and the money to buy a house to live in, and he kept all his things there. The title deed and other belongings naturally also stayed in the courtyard. He even installed a secret compartment in the bedroom wall. He didn't ask for help; he researched and built it himself.
After putting away my things, I hurried to the company.
The assistant was surprised to see him. "Mr. Cao, are you feeling better? Why are you here? Why don't you take a break?"
"No, you help me contact the construction team. They need to have a good reputation and a foreman with good character." He didn't want anything else. He didn't have that much time to keep an eye on the project and only went there occasionally. Because of this, he had to be extra careful in selecting people so that no one could take advantage of the situation.
The assistant nodded. "We've contacted four construction teams. Some of them belong to large companies, and some are private. Would you like to meet them?"
"Show me their information, and then have their foreman come and see them."
"Okay." The assistant turned and left Cao Zheng's office. He returned to his small office, took the document, and handed it to him. "Cao Zheng, take your time looking through it. I'll call someone to come over."
"OK."
Cao Zheng took the document and started reading it, and didn't notice that his assistant had left.
