Chapter 1 The Demon Orb Stepfather
When Ji Huaizhi woke up, he smelled terrible.
Besides the smell of alcohol emanating from him, the original owner probably hadn't taken a bath in a long time.
He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. He could still hear his little daughter sobbing in his ears. Was she the original owner's daughter?
I called out to the system in my mind, but there was still no response.
Close your eyes again and accept the memories of this world.
~
The original owner was in his thirties and still a bachelor.
Because he was a troublemaker, he was always causing trouble for his family and often asked them for money. He was good for nothing but causing trouble.
They'd kick any dog they saw on the street, and if their leg got bitten, they'd try to extort money from the dog's owner.
So, in order to have a couple of days of peace, the Ji family simply kicked him out and made him rent a place on his own.
After all, he's just too good at causing trouble.
People around him would avoid him, fearing that he might suddenly have an attack and cause trouble.
Later, seeing that he would be 40 in a few years, some people said to the Ji family, "Won't he become more sensible after he gets married and has children? Why don't we just find him a wife to keep him in check?"
It's not good to drift along like this for half a lifetime.
Maybe things will change after I get married.
But who among those around him doesn't know his character?
Who would dare marry him?
If you marry into that family, you can start preparing to be beaten.
But the original owner was actually quite good-looking. Perhaps because she was unmarried, she looked and looked quite young. The Ji family actually said that she was from the countryside, remarried, and had a child.
She probably thought she could marry into the city, plus Ji Huaizhi's face was very deceptive.
The first time I met Ji Huaizhi, we went straight to get our marriage certificate.
She was dizzy during her first marriage, and the Ji family never expected that she would be dizzy during her second marriage.
However, no one said much. They were already grateful that the original owner could find a wife. They had finally found a blind man, so Ji's parents could consider it a mission accomplished.
When the original owner first met him, he was relatively well-behaved, but he was a bit sarcastic and said some unpleasant things. After getting the marriage certificate, he went off to drink with his friends.
They said they wanted to celebrate their wedding.
He abandoned his newlywed wife without even visiting her parents.
The Ji family gave him money to buy some things and go to their house to take a look, but the original owner of the body unexpectedly snatched the money and said:
"What business is it of theirs what I get at my wedding? Who are they? Do I, Ji Huaizhi, need to go and see them in person?"
The woman was stunned when she heard this.
He grabbed the money and ran off without even saying goodbye to her.
Mr. and Mrs. Ji felt ashamed and quickly gave her a red envelope.
Unexpectedly, things got even worse after the marriage. It wasn't until Zhang Fengning moved in with her daughter that she discovered the man had no job at all.
He's like a street hustler, always either playing cards or drinking.
His only source of income was the money he won at the card table and the money he asked his parents for.
His reputation among those around him was also very bad.
They often stayed out all night, and within two days, the newlyweds started arguing.
As the argument escalated, the original owner started to take action.
The woman seemed surprised that he had already dropped the act so early. The two fought in the rented room, and the fight eventually spilled over into the Ji family's house.
They said the Ji family had tricked her into marriage, and that the original owner never intended to get married at all.
He spends all his time fooling around outside, and he only has one wife at home who's just for decoration.
The Ji family never expected that there would be so many problems after the wedding.
Uncle and Aunt are getting old.
They couldn't control him anymore, so they could only give Zhang Fengning money to calm her down and let her live a good life with the original owner. They would talk to him properly when he came back.
Zhang Fengning's anger subsided after receiving the money.
But the original owner refused after finding out.
Once you give her the money, he'll be gone. Why should she spend her parents' money?
Doesn't she have parents?
He used the Ji family's money to raise other people's children.
How could he tolerate it?
So another big battle ensued after we got back.
Zhang Fengning's daughter usually stayed in her room and rarely met with the original owner of the body. She also never appeared when the two of them were fighting outside.
After some time, Zhang Fengning probably got tired too.
After taking a shower and putting on some cool pajamas, she wanted to have a proper talk with the original owner of this body: "Can we live a good life together?"
"Although I'm not young anymore and I have a child, if you treat me badly, I'll still run away, and then it will be very difficult for you to find a wife again."
The woman was also wearing perfume.
He slowly leaned against the original owner's side: "As long as you bring your mind back, I'll have a child for you."
Upon hearing this, the original owner immediately stood up and pushed her away, saying, "You stink."
Zhang Fengning was stunned. Although she couldn't compare to a twenty-year-old girl, she was still pretty good-looking, wasn't she?
Her gaze was questioning: "Are you out of your mind?"
Upon hearing this, the original owner completely broke down and blurted out some harsh words.
Is there anything Zhang Fengning doesn't understand now?
The two started hurling insults at each other again.
The original owner's insults were harsh, and Zhang Fengning knew exactly what words would hit the original owner's heart, so the two had another big argument.
After the fight, once he ran out, Zhang Fengning lost her temper, which also affected her daughter Zhou Qing.
The next morning, Zhang Fengning went to the Ji family alone. This time, she didn't make a scene after entering the house; she went straight to the point about divorce.
Mr. and Mrs. Ji were stunned. They told her not to treat marriage like a game, and that since she was already married twice, it would be incredibly embarrassing if she got divorced again, and her family wouldn't let her go back.
Life goes on no matter how you live it.
Ask her, "Do you want to get married a third time after you're already divorced?"
Zhang Fengning bluntly said, "Your sons are no good. No wonder so many of them are just fooling around outside and don't even find wives."
What's the point of getting married?
Zhang Fengning gritted her teeth and shouted angrily that they had committed marriage fraud, that she would sue them, and that she would get a divorce.
The Ji family hadn't expected this, and they stared in surprise, mouths agape, asking questions repeatedly.
After receiving the answer, everyone fell silent.
Suddenly, Ji's mother grabbed Zhang Fengning's hand and told her not to get a divorce, assuring her that they would make sure Ji Huaizhi could live a peaceful life.
When Zhang Fengning refused to budge, they immediately understood what she meant.
Ji's mother gritted her teeth and gave her 100,000 yuan directly. When they got married before, it was their second marriage and they got their marriage certificate too quickly, so they didn't mention the bride price or the wedding banquet.
Just having a meal together with someone you're close to is enough to establish a connection.
Ji's mother took out 100,000 yuan at once, hoping that she would not get a divorce.
She knew perfectly well that her son only had one face to look at, and that was all he had; no one would want to marry him again.
Now that we've heard he's impotent, we can't let Zhang Fengning leave.
She brought a daughter with her, and when her son gets old, he might have to rely on his daughter for support.
When Zhang Fengning received the 100,000 yuan, she stopped being so aggressive.
“You and my son should live a good life together and raise your daughter together. If he can’t do it, we, as parents, will help him.” Ji’s mother’s words made her expression soften visibly: “But she must take care of my son in his old age.”
“If you take the money and run away with the child, I will definitely sue you for fraud.”
"I'll send you to jail," Ji's mother threatened.
The original owner was indeed a reckless and unruly person, and Zhang Fengning felt that it would be best if someone could help raise the child.
Let's just move on from this.
