Chapter 56
That's why they say that if you are not from the same family, you won't enter the same house. This couple is definitely the best in the whole village at confusing the public, changing their attitude according to the situation, and telling lies with open eyes.
Their biological daughter was standing right next to them. They just kept talking nonsense without blinking an eye. They could say anything for money. The heroine didn't hear it just now.
望的陷阱 ，一个了 醉心 ...
The question asked by the heroine from the bottom of her heart completely revealed the ugly mask of the heroine's mother. The heroine's mother felt ashamed. She had been trying hard to establish the image of a loving mother just now. At this time, she felt that her daughter was not cooperating with her. She was about to open her mouth to scold her, but she suddenly woke up because she saw Song Zhehao's eyes. This was not a joke. If his true colors were revealed, he would be in trouble. Song Zhehao was not very good in the past. He was just a poor young man from the countryside, but now he is incomparable to the past. He can easily take out a thousand yuan. Who knows how much money he has earned? I am afraid that number is something I dare not imagine. Although the village chief's family is also rich, since the engagement with my family, the betrothal money has only been said to be a one-time 20,000 yuan. From then on, the daughter belongs to someone else's family. The village chief's family is rich and powerful in the village. They used to bully others and the villagers. I am afraid that after getting the 20,000 yuan betrothal gift, she will never be able to get anything out of their family. Although 20,000 yuan is indeed a lot of betrothal gift, but when she thinks that her daughter will have to ask the housekeeper's mother-in-law for eggs, matches and soy sauce in the future, if she has a headache or fever and wants her daughter to take her to see a doctor, or wants to buy something special, or add something to the house, she is afraid that she will not be able to get a penny from the family. This is something the heroine's mother cannot accept. If they had not given her 20,000 yuan betrothal gift in one go, she would never let her daughter marry to their family.
Let’s not talk about anything else. When he came to get engaged, he didn’t bring anything extra. He only brought a few worthless gifts, which added up to less than a hundred yuan, and he only gave three hundred yuan. Although this is a considerable amount of money in the village, considering the economic situation of the village chief’s family, these three hundred yuan are simply a drop in the bucket. The heroine’s father and mother were so unhappy when they saw that he only gave three hundred yuan for the engagement.
From this point, it can be seen that although the family is rich and can be regarded as the richest in the area, their money will not go into the pockets of the heroine's parents easily. The heroine's parents originally planned that when they are old, they can rely on their daughter and son-in-law in the future, so that they will have someone to take care of them in their old age. However, since the engagement, the village chief's family has not acted like they are going to marry into their family. Instead, it seems like they spent 30,000 yuan to buy their own daughter. Although this amount of money is indeed very tempting and cannot be easily rejected, the old couple hopes that they can be taken care of by their daughter and son-in-law in their lifetime. However, judging from the current situation, their silly son-in-law can't be relied on in their family, and it would be too unprofitable if their daughter has no say.
In the past, even without that family, they could still afford such a large amount of betrothal gifts. Although the old couple were not very happy about it, they reluctantly accepted it. But now the situation is completely different. Song Zhehao has a good relationship with their daughter, which they knew before. There is a story behind this matter. There was a flood in the mountains at that time. The heroine went to the river to fish with a group of children. As a result, the flood came down. The heroine did not run fast enough and was washed away by the flood. Fortunately, there was Song Zhehao, who was in his teens and had extraordinary courage and swimming ability. He immediately jumped into the water to save the heroine and saved her in no time. Song Zhehao was rescued by the unconscious heroine. Logically, Song Zhehao saved the heroine's life, and the heroine knew how to repay the favor. Later, when Song Zhehao fell ill, the heroine went to take care of him every few days. Sometimes Song Zhehao could not get out of bed, and the heroine stayed by the bed, serving her tea and water, and occasionally came to cook a meal for her. Song Zhehao became closer to the heroine in the village. Later, Song Zhehao became a book traveler, and often lived in seclusion. Although the time in the mission world and the real world is not equal, Song Zhehao often did time-travel missions. Even if he spent his whole life in the mission world, he would not be able to return the time to the heroine. In the real world, only about half a month has passed, but since he has been doing missions for a long time, he is often not at home. Song Zhehao is rarely seen in the village. No one cares about what Song Zhehao is doing, as if this person has never existed in the village. Only the heroine cares about Song Zhehao. She occasionally goes to Song Zhehao's door to wait and see if Song Zhehao is at home. After eating delicious food, the first person she thinks of is Song Zhehao. She will bring it to Song Zhehao, care about whether Song Zhehao is feeling better, help Song Zhehao wash clothes, do housework, and do things within her ability. Although the heroine herself is very busy and all her time is squeezed out by that family, she will still come to Song Zhehao's house whenever she has the chance. Song Zhehao is very clear about this, and the heroine's parents also know something about it. The heroine's mother urged the heroine to buy things quickly. After all, the money is Song Zhehao's money. It would be a waste if she didn't want to. If Song Zhehao regretted it, their family would suffer a great loss. The heroine's parents urged her desperately, but they were embarrassed to turn their backs on them in front of Song Zhehao, so they suppressed their temper and asked the heroine to buy things quickly, but the heroine just didn't agree. It was not until Song Zhehao spoke that the heroine went reluctantly.
" "No, I don't like it," said the old man. "I don't like it, do I? I ... You have earned so much money, and you must use it to build a house in the village. If you can build three big tiled houses, the whole village will be envious. If you can build five big tiled houses, it will bring honor to your family. You are the most promising one among the generations of your Song family. No wonder. It is said that a phoenix cannot be born in a chicken coop. When I was young, your father and I were in the same squad. I know your father's situation very well. In our squad, your father was an upright person. He never had any tricks and never cheated when working. He worked hard, and the sweat on his head was like water, but he never complained about the effort he put in. At that time, it was still a production team. I don't know if you remember, you were still young at that time, and probably you don't remember. At that time, the village wanted to build a canal to bring spring water from the deep mountains to the farmland in our village. In that way, we don't have to wait for the old man to come when there is a drought in the future. It's afternoon now, but this job is really not easy at all. Don't you know about our deep mountains? They are all made of big rocks, and the iron rod chisel can't open them at all. It really takes a lot of effort. The young and strong laborers in our village all work two days and rest three days. It's not because of anything else, it's really because this job is too tiring, it's simply not something a human can do. There is only one person, your father. He is really good at working, and he never complains when he is tired. Under the scorching sun, his body is sunburned and he looks like he is about to collapse, but your father didn't say a word, just kept working with his head covered. He did the most work in the village, and everyone saw it. Who wouldn't give your father a thumbs up and praise him for being such a good worker! Alas! He is not only strong and hardworking, but also kind-hearted. You don't know that when any family in the village has a problem, it is your father who comes forward, and the strong laborers of their families... Whenever the pillar of the family fell ill, your father was the first to visit and ask if they needed help. Even though his own life was very tight, when it came to talking about other families in trouble, your father would always come out and help. Everyone in the village, young or old, agreed with this. Your father's way of dealing with people and his noble character were truly something we could never learn. At that time, there were a few families in the village who didn't have a man to support them. Every year when the spring plowing season came, your father would visit and help them. When the fields began to be busy, he would go to help them. When it rained heavily and their houses leaked, it was your father who braved the heavy rain and lay on their roofs, braving the wind and rain and danger to repair their rent. When people had nothing to eat, it was your father who brought them food. Sometimes it was half a bag of potatoes, sometimes a bag of corn, and sometimes some beans, barley, oats, etc. Anyway, your father was the most kind-hearted person in the village."
"My dear nephew, I want to tell you the truth. You have such a good opportunity and have made so much money at such a young age. It is also thanks to your father's good deeds. You young people should not disbelieve this. A person can make a fortune thanks to the deep virtue accumulated by the older generations. Your father is such a good person. He has never enjoyed any happiness in his life. He has given all the blessings he has accumulated to his children. You may not know that your father and I had a very good relationship back then. Do you still remember that there was a A wooden cabinet. That wooden cabinet was given by me to your father. Your father is a kind-hearted person. I told him that I gave him the cabinet, but your father refused to accept it. He said that he would not take advantage of me. If I did not accept the money, he would not want the cabinet. I was very embarrassed at that time. I could see that your father liked this cabinet very much. I could not bear to see your father disappointed. So I reluctantly accepted the money. I could not go against your father's kindness. The friendship between us was very close. There is more than one thing. I still remember that you were still young, about five years old. When we were harvesting crops that year, we happened to encounter a heavy rainstorm. We had been busy for half a year, looking forward to the harvest in the fields. We had just harvested the crops and put them on the threshing ground to dry, but the rainstorm came. If it weren’t for my help that day, all the crops in your family would have been soaked and ruined by the rain. Of course, I am not taking credit for it. After all, I was not the only one helping at that time. I was the only free person in the village. Everyone present at the scene, young and old, male and female, rushed to help your family harvest the grain. That's why your father was such a good person. Whenever he saw someone in the village in need, he would help without hesitation. That's why everyone in the village, young and old, respected your father. No matter how big or small your family's problems were, everyone in the village, young and old, was happy to help. It's a pity that your father passed away so young. Okay, let's not talk about these sad things anymore. Come have a couple of drinks with your uncle, nephew!"
The heroine's father was about to raise his glass to clink with Song Zhehao's, but Song Zhehao declined politely on the grounds that he could not drink. Song Zhehao actually had an impression of all the things the heroine's father said. His father's reputation in the village was indeed very good. Almost no one in the village did not admire his father. They all felt that his father was a decent and helpful person, and he had done a lot of good things for the village. Almost every household had received help from his father. After his parents passed away, many villagers also helped take care of him. Song Zhehao remembered all these things firmly in his heart. At that time, he was in poor health and had no money. He could not support himself and relied on He barely survived with the help of the villagers. He always had a wish in his heart that when he was able to do so, he would repay his hometown and use his actual actions to help this backward and poor village out of its difficult situation. He thought that if Song Zhehao's parents knew, they would agree with what Song Zhehao did. Song Zhehao now even had a plan. The village where their hometown was located was a remote village in the deep mountains and hills. It was the kind of remote small village with no village in front and no shop behind. It was a long way away and no roads had been built. The geographical location greatly limited its development. Even if there was a good support plan in the future, The plan, but for their remote little village, it is just a drop in the bucket. The most important thing is that no one comes to invest in their village because their village really has no investment value. But it is different now. Now he has money in his hands, even richer than those bosses who invest everywhere. If he wants to develop his hometown, there are many ways. The first one is to build roads first if you want to get rich. Song Zhehao deeply agrees with this point. If there is no road connecting to the outside world, then their village will never develop. This is after countless experiences. This was gained through empirical education, because in the world that Song Zhehao traveled through, he had also traveled through to the same era and background, and worked as a local planner. He knew what it meant to build a road to connect with the outside world. It was equivalent to injecting new living water into a lake with only stagnant water, so that the lake would have vitality. Of course, having a road to the outside world is not a complete requirement. The road is just a link. What is more important is to find the value of local development, that is, to find out the potential of the small mountain village where Song Zhehao grew up. This is relatively difficult for Song Zhehao.
Although Song Zhehao has great feelings for the small mountain village where he was born and grew up, if this filter is removed, the small mountain village where Song Zhehao grew up is actually no better than other mountain villages. Not only are the mountains steep and the roads rugged, but it also does not have much value for tourism development. If large-scale planting is developed, the conditions here are not particularly favorable, and there is no way to form agricultural planting with local advantages, not to mention any minerals underground. That is simply a fairy tale topic. Their county town is within a radius of 100 miles, and they have never heard of underground mining. What treasures are there? Song Zhehao thought about the future investment and development direction of the local area for a long time. Finally, he thought there was only one way, that is, to create conditions if there are no conditions, and to create advantages artificially if there are no advantages. Song Zhehao had actually done a lot of such things during his travels. Even in the most barren places and villages with no development value, Song Zhehao used his clever mind to make this place lively. Song Zhehao thought again and again that if this place wants to develop, it is not enough to just build roads, but it is also necessary to plant trees and build forests. Forest coverage is a good treasure. Bei, as long as there is a place with green trees, Song Zhehao has a way to make this place play its value. Song Zhehao has thought about it. This is not something that can be completed in a day or two. It requires a careful and detailed plan and a group of professional counterparts to carry out a series of planning. In fact, the only things that can be planted in their place are trees. If you want to maximize the value of planting trees, you need to build a series of villas and various tourist resorts. This is the most feasible method among all the methods currently available, because it can be done entirely through packaging and publicity. He has also seen many places using this routine. Places that originally had no value have been turned into so-called resorts. This is also the most convenient way. Moreover, as a time-traveling tasker, he has seen countless successful examples of this in the past world. It is not a difficult thing. As a person who has traveled through the future world, Song Zhehao knows clearly what kind of resorts and tourist attractions will be the most attractive and commercially valuable in the future 20 or 30 years from now. For him, the opportunity to show his talents is in the near future.
Let's put that aside for now. The most important thing right now is to rescue the heroine from the clutches of her profit-driven parents. "Let me make a long story short. The purpose of my visit this time is very clear. I don't agree with Erya's marriage to the village chief's second son. I think we all know the reason. No matter how difficult your life is, it's not so difficult that you have to sell your daughter. Everyone in the village will laugh at you for doing this. And you also know that the village chief's money is not that easy to get. If they give you tens of thousands of yuan at once, your daughter will never be able to help you again in the future. Is it better to have a daughter to support you all the time? I think you should have calculated this account clearly. Besides, the son-in-law over there is a person with a disabled IQ. Can you still count on such a son-in-law to provide for you in your old age?"
The heroine's parents had considered the issues Song Zhehao raised. They knew that once their daughter married into that family, she would be forced to work like a slave, without the right to make decisions. She would be forced to serve your son-in-law, who has the IQ of a nine-year-old. If you were to fall ill or suffer a disaster, would you still be able to rely on your daughter? Even just wanting to see her would be a problem. The tens of thousands of yuan they gave you might seem like a lot now, but won't it all be spent in the future? You two are only in your fifties, with decades to live. You don't know how to run a business, nor do you know how to invest this money. These tens of thousands of yuan will only dwindle in your hands. By the time you're too old to work the land, there'll be no one to help you farm. Your daughter will be too busy every day, and she'll resent you for selling her off to a wealthy family to work like a slave for money. Even if you had the ability, you wouldn't help. You'll just die of hunger and cold. Wouldn't that be hard?
Song Zhehao's frank and comprehensive explanation made the heroine's father's face turn pale. It's not that he had not thought about these consequences, but the temptation of tens of thousands of dollars was too great, and he really couldn't resist it. If his daughter didn't marry a rich man, she would have to go to school. Even if she got a job in the future, or became a teacher, she would only have a pitiful salary every month. After paying for her own necessary expenses, there would only be a little money left to support the family. What's the use of that? So even if his daughter might hate him in the future, or even not care about him when she is old and frail, he still has to take the risk. Even if his daughter hates him for these tens of thousands of dollars, it is worth it. But now she doesn't think so. Song Zhehao has fallen from the sky. He is no longer the poor boy he used to be. He is so generous that he is dumbfounded. Moreover, his daughter has such a good relationship with him. How could he abandon his daughter when he is rich? It doesn't take much thought to know that following Song Zhehao is definitely a hundred times better than marrying the stupid son of the village chief. So when Song Zhehao said this, the heroine's father also understood the meaning of going down the slope. His acting skills immediately improved. His eyes immediately turned red, and his voice choked up as he said, "Nephew, you can think so much about your sister. As a father, can't I push my own daughter into the fire pit? I used to have no opinion. I just did what others said and agreed without any backbone. Now after hearing what you said, I really regret it. I really shouldn't have done this. I only thought about my daughter. "I thought it was time to find a good marriage for my daughter, a rich family so that she would suffer less in the future. In the end, I didn't even ask her if she was happy or not. After all, this is her life, and she will spend her whole life with that person. I should listen to her opinion. As a father, I am completely sober this time. I will never be confused again. In the future, all the matters concerning your Erya will be decided by her, and I will not get involved in anything. In the past, I was afraid that Erya was still young and had been staying at home without seeing the world. I was afraid that she would be cheated by bad people, so I always made the decisions about her affairs. Now it's different from before. Now that she has left you, her good brother, I feel relieved to have you taking care of her. She will definitely not take any detours, and I can put my heart at ease. With your help, my nephew, my girl's future is definitely bright. Hahahaha, I can't say enough about how happy I am. All I remember in my heart is your kindness. You are so good to our Erya that there is nothing to say. Even a biological brother may not be able to do this to your level, so I thank you on behalf of our Erya!"
The heroine's father said a lot of words of thanks, as if he had always considered everything for his daughter from her perspective, but in fact, Song Zhehao didn't believe a word he said. In Song Zhehao's view, he just wanted to use his daughter to catch a big fat sheep, who used to be the stupid son of the village chief, but now he probably has set his eyes on him. He didn't say a word, and he knew exactly what he was planning in his heart, but his plan might not be successful this time. With Song Zhehao's help, it would not be so easy for him to fleece his daughter in the future. The only thing to do now is to stabilize the parents who still want to suck their daughter's blood, and then let the heroine finish her school smoothly, and finally get into college, and then make plans for the future.
After beating up the heroine's parents, Song Zhehao left the heroine's house. A big stone in his heart fell to the ground. He was full of hope and took big strides forward.
