Chapter 1 Debt Collection? What debt are you collecting?
As the work bell rang, members of Taohua Brigade under Baihua Commune went out to work one after another.
The captain's family is no exception.
The sons and daughters-in-law in the family went out first. When they walked out of the yard, Wu Xiufang, the wife of the second son Zhou Shoumin, glanced back and saw her mother-in-law coming out of the kitchen with something in her hand. Although she knew what her mother-in-law was going to do, she still couldn't help but curl her lips.
When he turned his head, he did not forget to use his elbow to poke his sister-in-law Hu Lanhua beside him, and said to the back, "Mom must have gone to send eggs to my little sister again."
Hu Lanhua glanced back and then looked away.
It is not uncommon for the mother-in-law to favor her younger sister-in-law. Everyone in the family knows it. We also know that the mother-in-law often gives delicious food to her younger sister-in-law in private. We have seen it several times at home.
Later, my mother-in-law was too lazy to even prepare the food. Any delicious food at home was obviously reserved for my sister-in-law, and no one else could have it.
Seeing that her sister-in-law didn't say anything, Wu Xiufang couldn't help but said, "I don't have any problem with mom. I'll eat those things if I want. After all, I've graduated from high school and will definitely get married in the future. I can still eat at home for a few more years."
"Then what did you say?" Hu Lanhua couldn't help but ask.
Seeing that her sister-in-law looked like she really knew nothing, Wu Xiufang couldn't help but take a deep breath, "No, sister-in-law, do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?"
"Know what?"
"My sister-in-law secretly sent food to the educated youth Qiao."
As she spoke, Wu Xiufang lowered her voice and muttered, "What if my little sister and that educated youth Qiao really get together, then wouldn't that educated youth Qiao have to come to our house to eat together?"
After the educated youth went to the countryside, if they got married and had no one to rely on, wouldn't that be the same as educated youth Qiao becoming a live-in son-in-law of his family?
Thinking about how biased my mother-in-law is, she is biased towards my sister-in-law now, and she might be biased towards my sister-in-law's family in the future.
"Don't say that nonsense." Hu Lanhua gave her second brother's wife, Wu Xiufang, a warning look.
It's okay to say this to her, and she won't go to her mother-in-law and say something annoying.
But if my mother-in-law heard it, it would be terrible.
The mother-in-law treats her sister-in-law like the apple of her eye, so how could she allow her to be slandered like this, especially when these words came from her own daughter-in-law.
"I'm not kidding. My kids have seen it several times. I even specifically told them not to tell anyone."
While speaking, Wu Xiufang glanced forward twice.
The third brother's wife, Wang Xuemei, was also an educated youth. At that time, she went up the mountain to collect firewood and was bitten by a snake. She was met by the third brother by chance and was sent to the health center.
Fortunately, it was not a poisonous snake, and the third son’s wife was fine at the time.
Although there was nothing wrong with the two of them, they could not stand the rumors in the team.
Even though the mother-in-law explained that it was just a matter of helping each other when they met in the mountains, she still couldn't stand the nagging of those other women.
Later, the third brother got together with Wang Zhiqing.
Speaking of this, Wu Xiufang couldn't help but shift her gaze and no longer mentioned the matter of her mother-in-law cooking special meals for her sister-in-law.
On the other side, Ge Guifen walked into her daughter's room and stuffed two boiled eggs into Zhou Xian's hands. The eggs were still warm. Zhou Xian took them in a daze, held them in his hands, and went back to sleep.
When he heard the sound of the door closing, Zhou Xian suddenly woke up.
But she still felt a little sleepy. She rubbed her eyes, got up, washed, and opened the door. There were only children in the yard. When they saw her come out, they looked at her eagerly.
Zhou Xian just glanced at them and ignored the children. She touched the eggs in her pocket and went out directly.
It was the busy farming season and everyone was busy. Along the way, Zhou Xian didn't see anyone except the children who couldn't help.
She walked without stopping towards the educated youth point in the brigade.
As the houses of the educated youth camp came into view, Zhou Xian couldn't help but stop.
A transparent panel appeared in front of her.
At this moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar mechanical voice suddenly appeared in her mind.
"Loading successful, host, I'm back."
Zhou Xian looked a little confused, but she was not afraid at all about the sudden strange sound.
"Host, what's wrong with you?" The system asked after noticing that something was wrong with Zhou Xian.
While asking, the system scanned Zhou Xian's situation and suddenly fell silent.
"Sorry, host." The system quickly awakened Zhou Xian's memory.
In just a moment, a memory flooded into Zhou Xian's mind. She was stunned for a long time. After digesting it, she gritted her teeth and said, "Tongzi, you have hurt me terribly."
"Host, I'm sorry, I miscalculated. I thought it would load quickly, but I didn't expect that more than ten years would pass in a flash."
Zhou Xian pinched his brows and said, "Don't say so much. It's too late to say anything now."
She remembered everything. She had been working overtime at the company, and when she got off work, she found that the elevator was broken. She had to go downstairs. But the sensor light at the stairs broke down at some point. She could only use her mobile phone to illuminate the way. But she was still unlucky and fell down.
She hit her head when she fell, and there were not many people passing by there. Just when she was about to die there and no one would find her until the next day at work, she was saved by a system passing by. As a result, the system's time-travel function was triggered, and after bringing her over, the system went into hibernation due to lack of energy.
This rest lasted for seventeen years.
Before leaving, the system told her that they had traveled into a novel and that Zhou Xian was the cannon fodder female supporting role in the early stages of the novel, advancing the relationship between the male and female protagonists.
But she didn't expect that even though she knew the truth, her memory was taken away when the system went into hibernation. She forgot everything that happened before and completely became a cannon fodder in this world.
Life was going uneventful until half a year ago, when the hero went to the countryside. Because of the plot, Zhou Xian fell in love with the hero at first sight. Seeing that the conditions at the educated youth point were not good, she took the initiative to give her good things to the hero.
The male protagonist refused slightly, then accepted the things she gave him and gave him money at first. Zhou Xian was naturally unwilling to accept them, and was even very happy in her heart, thinking that the male protagonist accepted her by doing so.
After that, she would save up good things and give them to the male protagonist every now and then.
This process of giving money to her lasted for a whole year. At the beginning, the male protagonist was polite and wanted to give her money, but later he didn't even mention the money. He even looked at her in a bad mood when he was in a bad mood.
For the sake of the man she loves, Zhou Xian even secretly begged her father to arrange an easy job for him.
After recovering her memory, Zhou Xian naturally knew that the male protagonist did not accept the gift because he had a crush on her, but because the plot arranged for her to be the one paying for it. The male protagonist was flirting with her behind her back while accepting the gift.
The male protagonist didn’t eat any of the special things, they all went into his good brother’s mouth. After all, the reason why the male protagonist accepted the things was because his good brother was sick and needed to eat something good.
His good brother who went to the countryside with him was sick at the time, so the male protagonist gave all the eggs and other things he had received to his brother.
While watching those plots, Zhou Xian had already taken out the still warm eggs in his pocket and ate them.
The food that was given to the male protagonist for free before made him feel sad just thinking about it. Having stayed in this era for so long, Zhou Xian naturally knew what the conditions were like here.
She had been forced by the plot for so long, but in the end it ended up harming her own body.
The plot claims that this book is a sweet and happy story, in which the hero and heroine love each other and live happily together for the rest of their lives.
But what does this have to do with her, Zhou Xian? Others are enjoying the sweetness, but she is suffering. Now she has to eat something good to heal her wounded heart.
After eating the eggs, Zhou Xian closed his eyes, took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said to the system, "Tongzi, this is your mistake. Tell me, how are you going to compensate me?"
After suffering for more than ten years, Zhou Xian discovered that she could still have a sweet life. She thought that if Tongzi could not give her a satisfactory explanation, she would die with Tongzi.
Perhaps her thoughts were too strong, and the system recognized them. It said cautiously, "I'm sorry, host. I have reported your situation to the main system. The higher-ups will definitely compensate you. However, there are still some space-time channels under repair, so the specific compensation may take two days to be paid. Please be patient and wait a moment. I will definitely strive for generous compensation for you."
Knowing that there would be compensation, Zhou Xian nodded randomly. It didn't matter if it was two days late. It had already been more than ten years late. He didn't care about a little more than that.
She didn't even look at the educated youth site not far away and was ready to turn around and go back.
Tongzi just awakened her memory, and she naturally remembered that she had traveled into a novel.
And she, Zhou Xian, is the female supporting role in the film, a love-brained cannon fodder.
She was responsible for promoting the relationship between the male and female protagonists in the early stage. After they returned to the city after the college entrance examination, she, the cannon fodder, naturally went offline.
In the book, the girl is obsessed with the hero, but the hero ends up falling in love with the heroine. Out of jealousy, she uses her father, who is the captain, to target the heroine. In the end, the hero and heroine can no longer tolerate it, and not only does she have a miserable ending, but she also causes her father, the captain, to step down.
Zhou Xian took into account her current situation. Fortunately, the plot still had a lot of room for development and it had not reached that point yet, so she still had a great advantage.
Although she was in love and gave the male protagonist a lot of gifts, these were nothing. Her status as the captain's father was still very secure.
According to her current situation, her father is her biggest supporter. Zhou Xian thinks she is stupid to make her father unable to do his job as captain.
She had to go back and think about the current situation first.
Zhou Xian was about to go home, but after taking only two steps, he was stopped by someone. The voice was a little hesitant, "Comrade Zhou Xian."
Looking in the direction of the voice, Zhou Xian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Before she went to look for him, the male protagonist came running over.
It just so happens that it is better to do it today than to wait for a day. Now that we have encountered it, it is time to settle some accounts.
"Comrade Qiao Donglin." Zhou Xian looked at Qiao Donglin and smiled unusually kindly.
Looking at Zhou Xian's smile, Qiao Donglin was stunned for a moment, always feeling that something was wrong.
Whenever she met him before, Zhou Xian always called him Brother Donglin, which was very affectionate. Even though he tried his best to avoid suspicion, Zhou Xian still called him that.
And every time he saw him, Zhou Xian always smiled happily, but today's smile seemed a little awkward.
Anyway, it seems wrong no matter how I look at it.
"Didn't you go to work today?" Zhou Xian asked.
"Comrade Zhao is ill. I and several other educated youth comrades have come to help her. We will be there soon."
Zhou Xian nodded. The Comrade Zhao that Qiao Donglin mentioned was the heroine Zhao Siqing in the book.
The heroine was not in good health, and she was not supposed to go to the countryside. But the heroine was reborn, so she secretly replaced her brother who was supposed to go to the countryside with herself, and came here based on the hero's situation.
The two were a couple in their previous life, and the hero in this life fell in love with the heroine at first sight. However, when facing the heroine, he was always worried that he would scare her, so he didn't dare to reveal his information. He had been silently protecting her behind her. As long as anything happened to the heroine, the hero would always be the first to discover it.
When Zhou Xian threw herself at him before, Qiao Donglin neither accepted nor rejected her, and just let her indulge in her own desires.
Of course, Zhou Xian, who has now woken up, would not think so.
She looked at Qiao Donglin firmly and said seriously, "Comrade Qiao Donglin, I came here this time because I have something very important to tell you."
Looking at her appearance, Qiao Donglin's heart instantly rose. He moved his mouth and looked at Zhou Xian, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
It's not that he doesn't know what Zhou Xian feels for him.
But he never had any feelings for Zhou Xian.
There has never been one before, and there will never be one after.
What's more, he already has a girl he likes in his heart.
He admitted that accepting Zhou Xian's things did make him feel shameless.
But think about it, he had no choice at that time. Zhijie is his good brother, and he did that to help Zhijie, so it can't be blamed.
Moreover, he had clearly refused several times, and it was Zhou Xian who insisted on coming close to him.
Looking at Zhou Xian's attitude, Qiao Donglin suspected that she wanted to express her feelings to him, but he only liked Comrade Siqing and it was impossible for him to have a future with her.
"Comrade Zhou Xian, actually I..."
Zhou Xian glanced at the male protagonist, stretched out a finger and put it to his lips, stopping Qiao Donglin from speaking.
They are not that deeply involved now, and she has no plans to continue to be involved with the other party.
Although she, the cannon fodder female supporting role, promoted the relationship between the male and female protagonists, Zhou Xian couldn't care less and she didn't intend to add fuel to their relationship.
There is a saying that goes, you can’t escape what is destined.
As long as the relationship between the male and female protagonists is deep enough, whether she is a cannon fodder or not will not affect their being together.
But she has to take back what belongs to her.
"Comrade Qiao Donglin, I'm here to collect a debt from you."
Qiao Donglin was stunned. "Debt collection? What debt?"
