Mrs. Zhao has been feeling very conflicted lately.
I was both happy and in pain.
She was happy because she found that scavenging for recyclables in upscale neighborhoods was incredibly enjoyable. She could collect a huge pile every day. These rich people threw away all sorts of things, scavenging in the trash cans like treasure hunters, and almost every time she did, she was pleasantly surprised.
For example, there are foods that are clearly not spoiled, or pretty and delicate little cakes, but you only take one bite and then don't want them anymore.
For example, she would bring home a phone that came with a charger and even an instruction manual, and after charging it, it would still be able to be turned on and used.
Once, she even found gold in a trash can—a gold ring—and was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.
Most importantly, all the trash cans in the entire community belong to her, and no one competes with her for them. Every day, she goes out before dawn to carry on her scavenging business.
At first, she was a little embarrassed and worried that others would laugh at her. But later, when she took out the trash, she often saw other residents' discarded items, and she felt heartbroken. Moreover, they could be sold for money, so she felt that face was not always that important.
After much thought, she decided to return to her old profession.
After all, some skills are hard to lose.
Every time she sees someone else's lost "treasure," she gets itchy, because she knows that if it were in Fanjia County, it would be fought over by everyone, and she would never have a chance.
Yanjing is still better; the upscale residential areas here are better, and the resources are a hundred times better than those in Fanjia County.
then,
Grandma Zhao has returned to her old ways and started collecting scraps again. She does nothing but wander around the neighborhood every day, rummaging through things and picking them up. She has even taken over the neighboring neighborhood as her territory, and can come and go freely like a resident.
But on one occasion when he ran to the neighboring community,
Grandma Zhao unexpectedly spotted her son Zhao Kun and hurriedly chased after him, intending to greet him. However, Zhao Kun suddenly entered a building.
She immediately followed him, and after knocking on the doors of several houses, she finally found the room Zhao Kun had entered.
But just as Zhao Kun opened the door, she saw him dressed in women's clothing again.
Her perfectly healthy son, now, doesn't want to be a man anymore. He's going further and further down the path of wanting to be a woman, and even rented a house outside specifically to make it easier for him to be a woman.
Grandma Zhao was heartbroken.
But she didn't blame Zhao Kun; her son was a good son.
The only one to blame is Zhou Ling, that jinxed daughter-in-law. It's all Zhou Ling's fault; Zhao Kun only became this terrible person after marrying her.
She wanted to settle accounts with Zhou Ling.
Previously, because Zhou Ling had a wealthy father, she subconsciously thought that he might take her family to live in Hong Kong. For the sake of money, she tolerated it. But ever since she learned that Zhou Ling had been tricked out of a kidney by her biological father, Zhou Haide, she felt that Zhou Ling was nothing special in Zhou Haide's heart and had no status. It would be even more difficult for her family to get a share of the benefits.
It's obvious that Zhou Haide didn't take his daughter Zhou Ling seriously; otherwise, how could he have done such a thing?
How can we tolerate this any longer?
She knew that she no longer needed to please Zhou Ling, nor would she have to put up with Zhou Ling defecating on her head and acting like a tyrant.
But Zhao Kun stopped her from having this idea.
The reason is simple.
As compensation, Zhou Haide gave Zhou Ling 700,000 yuan. Zhou Ling kept all the money, and this matter could not be told to her, otherwise, their family would have lost everything.
“Mom will listen to you and won’t go after this jinx. Son, come with me to a big hospital. Even if I have to sell everything I own, I will make sure you get better.”
Seeing Zhao Kun dressed in women's clothing once again, Old Mrs. Zhao felt both helpless and heartbroken.
Zhao Kun shook his head. He knew his psychological problem was hard to cure. When it came to cross-dressing, there was only zero times or countless times.
Now, he feels a strong urge to become a real woman.
He knew this was wrong, and that the problem was serious, but he just couldn't control his thoughts.
Every time he was with Zhou Ling, he lost interest and motivation. He felt like Zhou Ling was a brother to him, and every minute and every second felt like an eternity.
Only here, in his secret room, where he can freely wear the clothes he likes, does he feel most comfortable and happy.
"Mom, I mean, if I became a woman, would you mind?"
"Kun'er, my dear son, what nonsense are you talking about? You must believe in yourself, you will definitely get better. You are just sick right now."
Grandma Zhao's body trembled. She was already so old that she no longer had the desire for both a son and a daughter. Besides, even if she wanted a daughter, this was not the way to ask for one.
"Don't scare Mom. Promise Mom you won't do anything rash."
Although Grandma Zhao was old and out of touch with the times, she knew that there was a surgery in this world that could turn a man into a woman.
She absolutely forbade Zhao Kun to undergo that kind of surgery.
At that time, she would be in hell—no, in heaven. She would be ashamed to face the ancestors of the Zhao family. Since the Jurassic period, there had never been such a precedent in the Zhao family, and in her generation, she could not break the rules.
Zhao Kun's mere probing startled Old Mrs. Zhao, but he quickly said some comforting words to put her at ease.
Before leaving, he reiterated that Zhou Ling must never know about this.
"Little Kun, where have you been?"
When Zhao Kun returned home, Zhou Ling deliberately came to his side and sniffed him carefully, wanting to know if Zhao Kun smelled of other women's perfume.
Fortunately, she didn't smell anything, which put her at ease.
"I was inspecting a few investment projects and had dinner with the project leaders. I got back a bit late. You're not suspicious, are you?"
Zhao Kun put on a stern face, pretending to be angry because he was being suspected.
He wasn't afraid that Zhou Ling would discover the clues, because he had taken a shower before returning, leaving no trace of women's clothing on his body.
Even the hair on the wig wasn't on his body.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling realized that she might have been overthinking things. She immediately apologized to Zhao Kun and then briefly recounted the mysterious phone call she had received that day.
"Such a good thing?"
Upon hearing that someone wanted to help them deal with Zhou Chen, Zhao Kun immediately perked up.
He immediately agreed and would go with Zhou Ling the next day.
He felt that this person must also have a grudge against Zhou Chen, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the initiative to come to him. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. If they could join forces, it would definitely be easier than them trying to find a way to take revenge on their own.
"Little Kun, guess who this person is?"
"I can't guess, but whoever it is, as long as they can cause trouble for Zhou Chen, we can cooperate with them."
Zhou Ling nodded, agreeing that it made sense.
After all, no matter how vast the world is, taking revenge on Zhou Chen is the ultimate goal.
