Chapter 10: Half a Catty and Eight Taels

Zhou Shuren was so choked that he kept coughing because he felt guilty. How could he not feel guilty?

He had been wondering who had gone to the ancient times with him. He kept thinking about it while lying down. He knew clearly in his mind that the most likely person was the girl who had kindly helped him.

But he felt more and more guilty when facing the girl. She was kind enough to help him, but he was the one who cheated the girl. He really owed the girl a life.

Seeing Zhou Shuren's reaction, Zhulan was no longer anxious.

Zhou Shuren breathed a sigh of relief and raised his head. He didn't dare to look at her too much in the morning, but now he looked carefully at his original wife. Her face was pale and her hair was a little yellow. When his eyes met hers, he saw that her soul had changed. Her eyes had become brighter and the cunning look made him feel relieved and smiled.

Zhulan knew she was being scrutinized, but she kept her composure and raised her eyebrows to ask, "What are you laughing at?"

Zhou Shuren smiled, "You're fine."

Zhulan, "......."

Seeing Zhulan's displeasure, Zhou Shuren quickly changed the subject, "You're right, I do owe you my life."

Zhulan gritted her teeth, "Do you know how much I've suffered? Now I'm 26, I don't have a boyfriend, I'm not married, I own a house and savings, and I live a carefree life. Now I'm ten years older, I'm in a shabby state, and I have to take care of a big family. What's more, I don't know how to farm, I've never been to the countryside, and I'm completely in the dark."

Zhou Shuren touched the quilt uncomfortably, he didn't know how to farm. Even if he had the memories of his original body, he was not his original body after all.

Zhulan understood it immediately. Well, they were the same. She pursed her lips and thought bitterly that she couldn't get a divorce, so the two of them were tied together. She narrowed her eyes and said, "You have to be responsible for what you owe me for the rest of my life. There's no way we can get a divorce."

Zhou Shuren was stunned. He didn't know that when his wife changed her husband, he did consider the possibility of divorce. He felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he also knew it was unrealistic. This was ancient times, not modern times where divorce is as easy as drinking water. Moreover, he was the head of the family and his wife had done nothing wrong. His conscience would not allow him to divorce.

Now that he knows his original body's wife has been replaced, he is happy in his heart. At least it is not someone he is familiar with. Even if he has changed, he will not be regarded as a monster. Besides, they all came from the modern era. After all, he owes her a life, and the invisible relationship is the closest.

Moreover, two people in an unfamiliar environment are always better than being alone. As a couple, they can cover up for each other, know each other well and support each other. When encountering problems, they can discuss them with each other individually, which is much better than fighting alone.

Zhou Shuren thought about it for a while, and then his tone became lighter. "It's natural."

Zhulan snorted, "You are not allowed to take a concubine either."

She was tricked into going to ancient times, so she can dream about taking a concubine and living a carefree life. She is not very smart. Since she is trapped by her original body, the one who tricked him should just stay put!

Zhou Shuren was speechless. He really had never thought about taking a concubine. No, he really had never thought about women. "Don't worry, I don't have that idea."

Zhu Lan hurriedly said, "You are not allowed to have any ideas about me."

Zhou Shuren, "........Yeah."

Zhulan was not stupid and knew that words should not be taken seriously, but at least she made it clear so that both parties had a bottom line.

Zhulan and the other person kept their voices low, not afraid of being overheard. "We are now grasshoppers on the same rope, partners for the rest of our lives, so it's better for us to introduce each other. You go first."

Zhou Shuren coughed lightly, and then took a breath before saying, "My original self and I have the same name, Zhou Shuren. I'm 27 years old this year. I grew up in an orphanage. I have a double PhD in Chinese and archaeology. Before I traveled through time, I participated in an archaeological excavation. I worked too hard and got sick. I couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to go to the hospital. You know the rest."
