Chapter 70 The Son-in-Law (1)
"Wash my school uniform, I need to wear it to the sports meet tomorrow."
A pile of clothes reeking of sweat was thrown onto the sofa. Changqing, who was tidying up the coffee table, felt a strong stench and frowned.
The speaker was a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old. After throwing the clothes over, he didn't even glance at Changqing, and turned around to drag his square-shaped body towards the second floor.
Yes.
square.
The boy was about 1.6 meters tall, but he had a size that was hard for ordinary people to imagine. He weighed more than 160 pounds, and his fat jiggled when he walked, which looked quite comical.
But Changqing did not laugh.
He maintained his persona, quietly tidying up the coffee table, then grabbed all the clothes on the sofa, ignoring underwear and stuffing them into the washing machine.
Splash.
The sound of the washing machine churning filled the air, and Changqing stepped out the door.
Go buy groceries!
I also have to cook for the whole family.
no way.
The original owner was not only a stay-at-home husband, but also a son-in-law of the Lin family, whose daily life consisted of serving the whole family.
Changqing glanced back at the grand and luxurious Lin family villa, then pushed out his grocery shopping vehicle—a Yadea electric scooter—from the corner.
Yes, the battery is still there.
He glanced at it and felt relieved.
One minute later.
This slightly worn electric car was driving on the wide road in the villa area.
On both sides are meticulously manicured flowers and plants, and in the distance are incredibly luxurious villa complexes. All kinds of luxury cars come and go on the road, including Rolls-Royce, Ferrari and other brands that ordinary people can never afford in their lifetime.
The contrast is stark.
Especially since this body is quite tall, riding on a small electric scooter makes it look rather incongruous.
"I don't understand why the original owner wanted to become a live-in son-in-law."
Changqing sighed and sped up.
Because of love~
The system's voice echoed in his mind, and Changqing curled his lip in disdain.
"I love you, Mom, for selling fried dough twists!"
The original owner of the body, Sheng Changqing, was an orphan. Although he grew up in an orphanage and his conditions were not good, he learned to cook well. Although he was not a famous chef, he was able to make a living.
He was originally a sous chef at a local specialty restaurant, but was later invited to work as a private chef for the Lin family, and eventually became the Lin family's son-in-law.
Changqing: ......
How foolish!
Before, as a sous chef, I earned more than 20,000 yuan a month. When I became a private chef for the Lin family, my job was a little easier, but my salary dropped to more than 10,000 yuan. Later, when I became a son-in-law of the Lin family, I stopped earning a salary altogether.
It seems to be making progress, but in reality, it is losing its status.
Now, it's not just about cooking for the whole family, but also doing laundry, mopping the floor, and mowing the lawn...
Various odd jobs.
"Is this supposed to be a live-in son-in-law? It's more like being a servant!"
Changqing felt frustrated.
Moreover, the original owner's relationship with Lin Xuerou was not like that of a typical married couple.
On their wedding day, the original owner drank alcohol. When she woke up in the morning, she found herself and her husband lying in the same bed. After that, they never shared a bed. Unfortunately, a month later, Lin Xuerou found out she was pregnant and her belly was growing big.
The original owner was very happy.
He had never experienced the warmth of a family since childhood, and now that he was about to become a father, he naturally felt a dreamlike sense of happiness.
But the child could not be saved.
Lin Xuerou fell at home and lost her child.
The original owner happened to be visiting the orphanage when she learned the news, and felt both guilty and sad.
Lin's relatives all blamed him for not taking good care of his pregnant wife, and Lin Xuerou also seemed to resent him. From then on, she lived in an apartment near the company and rarely went home.
Fortunately, Lin's parents were quite understanding and offered him some comfort.
"Xue Rou has been spoiled by us, and this incident has been a big blow to her. Please be more understanding."
"You're still young, you'll have children eventually, no need to rush. Xue Rou is just like that, you can just coax her a bit more."
"Men should be more magnanimous and look forward more."
The original owner listened and began a long journey to win back his wife. He cooked meals and chicken soup and delivered them to the Lin family's company. He sent her a bouquet of flowers every day and various small surprises. He used every method he could find online and every method he could think of.
However, the results were mediocre.
Lin Xuerou seemed heartbroken and didn't want to talk to him at all.
At this moment, Lin's parents said again:
“Sigh, that’s just how this child is, she’s very stubborn. Changqing, don’t take it to heart.”
“You are husband and wife, a legally married couple. Xue Rou will come home sooner or later. After this happened, she, as a mother who lost her child, is the one who is suffering the most. Give her some more time.”
"The company has been busy lately. Once this period is over, we'll try to talk to her and talk to her about it. You don't need to worry."
Changqing: ......
Isn't this a CPU?
The original owner foolishly believed it, but he didn't!
What a coincidence!
Just when the original owner finally managed to go out, Lin Xuerou fell and lost her baby.
She got drunk on her wedding night, slept with someone, and then got pregnant?
Why is he so skeptical?
Generally speaking, the probability of getting pregnant is high when dating and living together, but the probability of getting pregnant drops significantly after marriage.
One shot, and it's dead.
It's not that easy.
He even doubted whether the two had actually had a relationship.
Especially considering what happened to the Lin family later, Changqing felt that this was very likely a scheme.
Yes.
The Lin family later experienced a change of fortune.
The company, which was running well, suddenly collapsed. Lin's parents suffered a stroke and died from the stress. Unable to bear the pressure, Lin Xuerou sent a farewell text message to the original owner of the body and then jumped into the sea and disappeared.
In less than a month, the once-great Lin family collapsed, leaving only the original owner of the body, the son-in-law, and his brother-in-law Lin Wei, who was still in elementary school.
The company went bankrupt, assets were used to pay off debts, the villa was gone, and the car was gone too.
Lin Wei, the brother-in-law, was only a teenager and was completely panicked, having no idea what to do.
The creditors naturally went to the original owner.
The original owner genuinely considered the Lin family as his own, and even felt that the Lin family parents treated him well.
The home we finally had is gone.
Heartbroken, he decided to support the family and at least raise his brother-in-law to adulthood.
He kowtowed to his creditors to apologize and repeatedly assured them that the Lin family still had members and would not default on their debts. Thus began his arduous journey of repaying his debts.
The Lin family originally ran a chain of restaurants, but after the company went bankrupt, only an empty shell remained.
He closed most of his stores.
Only the most inconspicuous shop in the city was left as the starting point.
He dismissed the chef and most of the staff, and started preparing at two or three in the morning every day. During the day, he personally cooked, devoting himself entirely to the restaurant.
Each month's profits, after deducting the basic needs for himself and Lin Wei, are immediately used to pay off debts.
Are you tired?
Of course it's tiring.
Lin Wei was not someone who could help. His family suffered a sudden misfortune, and he also developed depression, nearly committing suicide several times. The original owner had to comfort him while taking him to seek medical treatment. It took three years for him to recover.
Of course, some creditors are difficult to deal with, and you need to be careful when dealing with them.
During the toughest years, the original owner often only slept two or three hours a day, and even fainted several times in the kitchen, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.
Because of his excellent skills and a bit of luck, his business gradually took off.
By the time Lin Wei took the college entrance examination, he had already opened two branches and paid off half of his debts.
Of course, the original owner dared not relax.
Through his persistent efforts, he finally—
I've fallen ill.
Liver cancer.
His health deteriorated prematurely due to years of staying up late and mental stress.
At this time, Lin Wei was a senior in college.
