Chapter 3 She wasn't stupid enough to take the risk. …
"What are you doing in here?" Ge Guifen asked in confusion as she saw her daughter coming in.
Zhou Xian paused and was speechless for a moment. She really didn't know how to tell the old lady that she had got the money back from Qiao Donglin.
The old lady secretly gave her good food, and the family members actually knew about it, but they never talked about it to her face.
Judging from the original text, the old lady is really partial to her daughter.
And he had long known that his daughter secretly gave her special treatment to that educated youth. The old lady naturally wouldn't say anything to her daughter, she just felt sorry for her, so she would cook two eggs every time, hoping that her silly daughter would understand that it was okay to give them to others, but at least keep one for herself.
Of course, the old lady only knew that her precious daughter liked the male educated youth, but she didn't know the ins and outs of it. It was not until her husband was reported for using his privileges to embarrass the educated youth and was stripped of his position as team leader that she realized that the male educated youth had taken the things her daughter had given him and ate them with others, and that he liked a female educated youth.
However, the old lady still did not blame her daughter. Even though the whole family suffered a great misfortune, she felt that her daughter was not wrong, and it was those educated youth who were wrong.
As the one favored by the old lady, it would be a lie for Zhou Xian to say that he was not touched.
Although she had no memories of her own before, she was the one the old lady was biased towards.
After staying in the kitchen for a while, she was pushed out by Ge Guifen.
Although she looked down on the educated youth who did not look like they were willing to work, she also did not want to let her precious daughter work in the fields.
Comrade Ge Guifen is also very hypocritical.
Zhou Xian sat under the eaves, watching the children playing in the yard. For a moment, he didn't know what to do, so he had to chat with the system in a casual manner.
"Tong, you brought me here, can't you take me back?"
"Sorry host, the system does not have this capability at the moment."
"So what system are you in? You know what you do, right?"
system:"……"
"I'm sorry, host. The system has not yet fully loaded successfully, so the system has not yet remembered its mission. Apart from giving the host the original plot, there is really no other way to help."
"No way, you are too unprofessional."
The system laughed awkwardly twice. "It is indeed a novice system, but don't worry, host. I have already reported the problem. I believe it will be fixed in the next two days."
"Now that you've fixed it, can you take me back?"
The system was stuck for a while before it said intermittently, "Sorry, the system cannot predict."
Seeing that the system was unreliable, Zhou Xian gave up the idea of questioning it.
"Girl, come here quickly."
Zhou Xian looked up and saw her biological mother, Comrade Ge Guifen, waving at her and motioning her to go into the house.
Although he was a little confused, Zhou Xian still got up and went into the house.
Not long after entering the room, Ge Guifen pushed the door open and Zhou Xian saw that Comrade Ge Guifen was holding a bowl in her hand.
It was the busy farming season at the time, so the food at home was still okay. Under such circumstances, the old lady who was partial to her did not forget to prepare a special meal for her.
Ge Guifen took it with her arm, walked into the house, and put the bowl in her hand on the table.
"Drink it quickly, don't let those brats see you."
Zhou Xian looked at the old lady and sighed in his heart.
He felt the money in his pocket, took it out, and put it into the old lady's hand, "Mom, take this money."
Seeing her daughter giving her money, Ge Guifen was shocked. Although she would also give money to her daughter, where did her daughter get so much money?
Zhou Xian naturally explained the source of the money. After all, those things were originally given by her mother, and there was nothing wrong with giving the money to her now.
"Did you ask him for money?"
"Yes, he doesn't like me, so why should I give him free food and drink? Of course I have to take my things back and have nothing to do with him in the future. Otherwise, if it gets out, it will be bad for our family's reputation." Facing his own mother, Zhou Xian naturally didn't say anything like she didn't like him at all.
The main reason is that those words are not convincing at all, so it’s better to admit it openly.
Although the previous Zhou Xian was also her, she was forced to follow the plot and was a bit out of her original character.
Zhou Xian felt that she had changed too much at once, and it would be bad if her mother treated her as a monster. So when she spoke, she still used the same tone as before.
It's just an extra memory. She still remembers her previous life very clearly. Generally speaking, the difference is not too big.
But this action moved Ge Guifen to tears.
The educated youth that her daughter liked actually liked someone else, and she was furious. How was her daughter any worse than those female educated youth?
Although the educated youth were all city dwellers before, their household registration is now in their brigade and they can't leave. Every year the higher-ups have to assign some people to go down, and they are not good at their work and are particularly noisy.
In short, no matter what, that educated youth is not worthy of his daughter.
Seeing her mother's indignant expression, Zhou Xian guessed what she was thinking, and quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Mom, I've already got the money back, so I'm even with him. From now on, we'll just go our separate ways, and we won't owe each other anything. Let's just ignore him."
Zhou Xian read the story of his family in the book more carefully than the male and female protagonists.
After her biological mother Ge Guifen learned about what the male protagonist had done in the book, she naturally stood on her daughter's side and complained to her old man.
The captain, who was Zhou Xian's biological father, instigated the captain to use his power to embarrass the hero and heroine several times, preventing them from returning to the city, and even intercepted their admission letters after the college entrance examination was resumed.
However, the protagonist's family had been rehabilitated by that time, so not only did her father's conspiracy fail, but he also lost his position as captain.
Her three brothers were not so lucky. They were not angry at the behavior of the male and female protagonists, but wanted to vent their anger. As a result, the eldest brother died, the second brother was sent to labor reform, the third brother was disabled, and his wife and children were also gone.
Seeing her husband and son like this, Comrade Ge Guifen was unable to breathe and suffered a stroke and became paralyzed.
Zhou Xian: “…”
Finally, the author said in a tone of great regret, "The Zhou family was originally a well-off family, but because of their mindless favoritism towards their daughter, the whole family ended up like this."
Now, as the person involved, Zhou Xian just feels very upset.
Whose family did she kill? Why did the whole family end up like this?
Fortunately, she is not planning to follow the original plot now, so these things will naturally not be discovered again.
Of course, if they dare to provoke her again, don't blame her for being rude.
In the book, her family members may not have been very honest in their methods, but Zhou Xian has been a law-abiding citizen so far, whether before or after the time travel.
After that, she will naturally abide by the law.
Ge Guifen looked at her daughter and was deeply moved. Naturally, she did not intend to accept the money.
He then stuffed the money into Zhou Xian's pocket and said, "Just spend this money."
As she spoke, Ge Guifen went out again. When she came back, she had a few more bills in her hand. "It won't work if you have money but no bills. Take these too. Go back to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy yourself some snacks."
Zhou Xian: “…”Mom is so nice.
Naturally, she was not as strong as her biological mother. She tried to refuse but failed, and the money and tickets went into her pocket.
The book only says that it is mindless pampering, but Zhou Xian knows why her mother pampers her so much.
When she was born, her father was elected captain, and there was only one vote difference between her father and his competitor at the time, so her mother firmly believed that she was the one who brought this blessing into the family.
However, only family members knew about this. Ge Guifen would not be stupid enough to spread these words everywhere, especially since it was not popular to say these things now, so she would not spread it to others.
But over the years, loving her daughter has been engraved in her bones.
Even Zhou Xian sighed that it was fortunate that she had a positive outlook on life, otherwise, with the amount of love her mother gave her, she might have become arrogant without the need for the plot to control her.
People who are favored are fearless, but they can also become complacent easily. In the book, a person is spoiled to the point that his whole family is implicated.
Before Zhou Xian could say a few more words to her mother, Ge Guifen was ready to leave. "Your father and the others are waiting for dinner. Your sister-in-law and I have to deliver the meal. You just stay home and be good."
Having said that, he went out.
Zhou Xian was in the house and could still hear her mother yelling at the children, asking them to stay at home and not disturb her. She also asked the children to finish their housework after dinner, and then she took the meal and left with her sister-in-law Hu Lanhua.
As children who did not do farm work, their food was naturally not as good as the adults at home. However, the food was better than usual, so the children were still very happy.
The children were quite well behaved. Zhou Xian looked at them for a while, hesitated a little, and decided to keep the characters in the book for the time being and think about what to do next.
There is still some time before the resumption of the college entrance examination, so Zhou Xian doesn't need to prepare anything now, but having nothing to do is not a good thing either.
Although her biological father is the team leader, it would be too conspicuous to assign her any job, especially since the book also records that her biological father abused his power for personal gain, so Zhou Xian was unwilling to let her biological father assign her any job.
As for working to earn a living at home, to be honest, she felt that with her small body, she might not be able to do the work as well as those educated youth.
"Tongzi, do you have any medicine that can make me stronger and stronger so that I can finish my work without feeling tired?"
System: "Sorry, host, the system is not yet fully functional, so it doesn't have the kind of thing you're talking about."
Zhou Xian: “…” What’s the use of you?
Seeing Zhou Xian sighing, the system comforted him, "Don't worry, host. I'll help you find it after I repair it."
"Wait until you fix it."
Unable to rely on the system, Zhou Xian began to ponder the current situation.
"So what's the difference between this book and reality?"
"Since it is a created novel, it is definitely mixed with the author's own settings, but the general background will not change."
Then Zhou Xian felt relieved. Her history was pretty good and she still remembered several important turning points.
At worst, I can go into business and make money for my family with my knowledge.
As for the next few years, they will pass quickly anyway.
Zhou Xian still has a good attitude, at least he won't make things difficult for himself.
She also thought about what she might do. She remembered that it was written in the book that the heroine had some deal with the black market, so she had money in her hands.
Zhou Xian directly rejected this idea. There was no way she would go to the black market.
The heroine can succeed because she has the aura of the protagonist.
She is a vicious female supporting role. If she gets involved in this matter, she might have to go to labor camp.
She wasn't stupid enough to take the risk.
And she doesn't want to have big opportunities as easily as the heroine.
As for the heroine, she would not report such things. Given her status as cannon fodder, the final result would most likely be that she would lose more than she gains.
Zhou Xian has no intention of getting involved in anything concerning the male and female protagonists, but not getting involved doesn't mean she won't be on guard.
Zhou Xian wrote down some plots on paper and sorted out the entire text. He then discovered that the system could actually recycle those papers, so he temporarily used the system as a wastebasket to recycle garbage. Anyway, it was of no great use at the moment.
As I was thinking, I heard the bell for the end of work without noticing.
Zhou Xian stood up and stretched. Hearing some noise outside, he opened the door and walked out, only to see that the whole family had returned.
Just as I was about to walk out, I heard the voice of the system.
"Host, the female supporting character Wang Xuemei has been spotted."
