Chapter 144: Love in the Ancient Planes, Opening 3.

Lu was originally a servant in the mansion of a third-rank official. Because she had a good appearance and could recognize a few words, she was valued by her master and had the opportunity to marry Yuan Xiucai.

Lu was marrying up, as Yuan Xiucai was handsome and had some talent.

However, he was born in a humble family and was a little weak because of his hard study in his early years.

Unfortunately, Yuan Xiucai was unlucky. Although he was full of talent, he always failed in the imperial examinations.

He completely lost confidence because of his repeated failures in the imperial examinations.

Disheartened, he simply took his wife and children back to his hometown and became a teacher.

Yuan Xiucai relied on his knowledge to teach and educate people, and he was well-known in the village.

Relying on the few acres of thin farmland at home and the support of students. Although the Yuan family is not rich and powerful, they live a stable life, which is much better than most families in the village.

But Lu was not satisfied. In her early years, she had seen the infinite scenery of the mansion of a third-rank official, and she wanted to become an official's wife. However, her husband's lack of career prospects and his gentle personality made it difficult for her to work hard.

She simply settled for the next best thing and pinned her hopes on her son, hoping that his son would study hard and take the imperial examination to shine on his family.

Unexpectedly, her husband actually decided to marry the daughter of a pig butcher for his son, which almost made her angry to death.

As the saying goes, everything is good in other families, only your own children are good.

Mrs. Lu has always treated her own child as the apple of her eye, and has carefully raised him since he was young, hoping that with the child's appearance and prospects, he can find a powerful in-law when he grows up to help him rise to prominence and spread his wings.

Mrs. Lu is a successful person, how could she look down on the Jiang butcher family who came from the countryside and behaved vulgarly. Although

Jiang Lan is beautiful and has a lively and cheerful personality, she can still find hundreds of flaws in him. She

is always picky and thinks that the girl is not worthy of her son.

This time when she brought her son back, Mrs. Lu complained to Yuan Xiucai.

"Master, tell me why you decided on the girl of the Jiang family for Qingci in the first place. Even if this girl is crazy and has a dirty mouth, how can she be worthy of our Qingci?"

Yuan Xiucai coughed a few times. He was infected with the cold during this period and was very weak. He could only explain again and again in a muffled voice.

"How many times have I told you that Qing Ci is weak and needs a strong wife to help her at home so that the family can live in harmony. This Jiang family lady is also outstanding in appearance, strong and has saved Qing Ci's life. Where can you find someone more suitable for Qing Ci than her? Ahem..."

"Master, are you okay?"

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Lu quickly poured a glass of water for him, but she was still a little dissatisfied.

"With Qingci's looks, why can't she marry a lady from a wealthy family? No matter how good the daughter of Jiang family is, she is just a country girl. How can she compare to a lady from a noble family?"

Yuan Xiucai took a big gulp of water, put the teacup heavily on the table, and scolded:

"What do you know, woman? Our family is of such status that we can marry a lady from a wealthy family? Even if we do, do you want Qingci to live in fear

for the rest of her life?" Lu shook her head and said guiltily: "She can also marry a lady from a lower family. There are many daughters of landlords and gentry. The Jiang family is nothing."

Yuan Xiucai sighed and analyzed the situation seriously for Lu.

"The landlords and gentry are very shrewd. They always marry their daughters up. Besides, with our family's conditions, how can you support a delicate daughter? You, the future mother-in-law, won't even be able to speak."

Mrs. Lu twisted her handkerchief, feeling somewhat unwilling.

Seeing this, Yuan Xiucai could only comfort his wife.

"I know you are dissatisfied with the Jiang family's humble background, but I see that their family is harmonious, the man is in charge of the outside and the woman is in charge of the inside, the division of labor is clear, and everything is in order, which shows that the family style is clean and upright."

"The Jiang couple are sincere and frank, warm and hospitable, and they are easy to get along with. Jiang Lan is the only daughter of the Jiang family. She has a good appearance, a healthy body, and a lot of strength. She will definitely be a good hand at taking care of farm work in the future."

Lu was a little contemptuous, "What's the use of great strength? If it's a man, he can go into the battlefield to kill the enemy and make achievements, but if it's a woman, she will get a reputation for being vulgar."

Yuan Xiucai shook his head, his voice a little serious.

"You only see the shortcomings of other people's children. Why don't you think about how ordinary people can take care of my son's body?"

"My son is still young. When he is older, he will be fine."

Mrs. Lu was wrapping her handkerchief, and it was obvious that she felt guilty.

"Even if it is suitable now, there is no guarantee that a more suitable one will appear in the future. It is too early to decide."

Yuan Xiucai's eyes flashed with a trace of sadness, and he couldn't help coughing again.

"I don't know how long I can hold on. I must make plans for you and your son early. If one day, I pass away, with the status of the Jiang family in this village, you and your son will not be bullied. The Jiang family is kind and will take care of you."

"Pah, pah, pah, what are you talking about." Mrs. Lu hurriedly blocked his words.

"Master, you must live a long life. Qingci is still so young, this family can't be without you."

Yuan Xiucai smiled and sighed: "I hope so."

Unfortunately, Yuan Xiucai did not live a long life as Lu expected.

In the winter of the following year, he finally did not survive and closed his eyes completely.

This year, Yuan Qingci was 6 years old and Jiang Lan was 9 years old.

Yuan Qingci wore a snow-white mourning dress and knelt in the middle of the mourning hall in a daze.

Seeing Jiang Lan coming, he whispered: "Sister Lanlan, I don't have a father anymore."

Jiang Lan was slightly stunned. She really couldn't connect the soft and sticky bun with a face full of dependence with the scheming scumbag many years later.

The audience in the live broadcast room stood on Yuan Qingci's side as always.

[I feel sorry for my brother Qingci, he has lost a lot of weight. ]

[It's really tragic that he lost his father at a young age. ]

[Give him a chance, what if he is not a scumbag in the future? ]

Jiang Lan touched his head and thought to himself: I don't know what the original owner would do if he was reborn, but I can't do anything to a young and innocent child.

Everyone makes different choices at each point in time, and different choices lead to different lives. This is us in the parallel space.

Everyone is us, and everyone is not us.

Moreover, the words the original owner heard before his death were not said by Yuan Qingci himself, but by his descendants. The truth of the matter is still debatable. In this case

, let it go.

Let her see whether this child she raised by herself will become the ultimate ungrateful person in her memory.

Jiang Lan is fearless. After all, she has enough strength to suppress him, and she is not afraid of him doing anything weird.
