Zhou Dahai is a philanderer and neglects his family; his only redeeming quality is that he is good to his son.
He has a handsome face, and many women are willing to throw themselves at him.
I don't want money or status, I just want to be with him.
Sun Lifang had also heard her mother-in-law mention this—
"You old geezer, you never stop causing trouble your whole life. Let's see who'll collect your corpse when you're old!"
Despite the grumbling and cursing, Chen Yan was actually two years older than Zhou Dahai. She had her eye on his family's land and house, as well as Zhou Dahai's face, and squeezed out the girl who was originally engaged to her, using her child to get ahead.
This person is Zhou Yunshi.
No matter how much of a scoundrel Zhou Dahai is, he would never let his child be born outside the family.
So, half-heartedly, the "orphan" Chen Yan married Zhou Dahai, who came from a well-off family, intending to control her husband.
After getting a job, work points, and a house arranged by her in-laws, she still wanted to completely change Zhou Dahai's philandering ways.
She tried everything – crying, threatening to hang herself, drinking pesticide, crying at the door – but Zhou Dahai wouldn't change his mind. He made it clear to her, "I won't stop you from getting a divorce certificate, but—"
"Boss, you have to stay here for me."
Zhou Dahai favored his eldest son, and when he came home, he would only talk to his eldest son for a few minutes, completely ignoring Chen Yan, that shrew.
Therefore, Chen Yan started with her son.
"You think you can run away? Then I'll abuse your son."
Five- or six-year-old Zhou Yunshi was locked in the small kitchen, given cold water baths, and slept on a haystack behind the stove in the dead of winter. He was not allowed to go inside the house.
He developed a high fever, and it was Zhou Dahai who discovered it.
When they got back, they looked for their son. Once they found him, they immediately took him to the hospital. He was on IV fluids for two days, but he was still unconscious. They carried him home and he lay there for a week. People said he was "possessed by an evil spirit."
They tried all sorts of folk remedies, like hanging peach branches on the door, but Zhou Yunshi still had a low-grade fever and was weak.
So someone suggested to Zhou Dahai, "Go ask the master at the village entrance, find a godfather, and change your name?"
Everyone says that you offended the gods and spirits, and that the King of Hell wants to take you away, so you just need to change your name.
Without time to think, Zhou Dahai decided to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless, and asked his lover to introduce him to a fortune teller who changed his eldest son's name.
"Yun Dui Yun, I changed the second character to a falling tone for you. It means to set sail and get on the right track. As long as you work hard, you will have a very good future."
Yun-seok? Fortune!
The lover found a fortune teller from who-knows-where, who, after examining Zhou Yunshi's eyebrows and eyes, determined that he was a man of good fortune.
He changed his name again, following the rising tone of the original name, and set sail, adding "Shi" after "Yun".
"Yoon means he will experience some hardships, like the third tone taking a turn—"
"But once that's over, it will stand up completely and move upwards."
The mistress truly loves Zhou Dahai, even asking her uncle to give Zhou Dahai's son a good name.
My uncle, who practices feng shui, is a cripple and in poor health. He has no children of his own and treats his brother's daughter as his own.
At my niece's request, I carefully chose a good name.
Wait a minute!
Sun Lifang realized—
The names of several wealthy people in later generations were also carefully chosen.
Jack Ma? He also took a turn on the first note and took off on the second.
Li Ka-shing? There was a transition period in the middle, but in the end, it still rose.
So, if we calculate it this way, then it's our own son....
Wow, my god, naming is a philosophy?
She thought the name was really random, but little did she know that no matter how she chose it, it would eventually turn out well or poorly.
Of course, this also depends on one's destiny.
Zhou Dahai's lover was truly devoted to his work, helping them change their name and even having his uncle calculate their location and relocate their ancestral graves.
After all the maneuvering, of the three Zhou sons, only Zhou Yunshi was Zhou Dahai's favorite.
Nobody knew about this, and Zhou Dahai pretended not to know and never mentioned it.
"The money went to the younger son, the love went to the older son, and your mother's savings probably won't be given to you either." Zhou Dahai was a seemingly simple-minded person, but actually incredibly shrewd.
When it came time to divide the property in the divorce, I told my eldest son, "You are destined for great things. I don't need to say anything more. You can decide for yourself."
Having been tempered by fire, he knew that Chen Yan didn't like his eldest son, so he would spend more time and effort on him.
Being a womanizer is one thing, but she shouldn't have ended up like this.
In this respect, Zhou Yunshi was actually grateful for his wife's understanding.
I call Zhou Dahai regularly every month and bring the children to visit him.
These wives may not say anything, but Zhou Yunshi is well aware of it—
The people he cares about can be understood and tolerated.
Having settled things at home saved him a lot of trouble.
Sun Lifang understood what he meant and said, "Don't flatter me!"
"The fact that I'm willing to do this means you deserve it."
When a man has good manners, a woman will reciprocate with tolerance.
When her parents rushed over demanding an exorbitant dowry, making Sun Lifang feel ashamed.
It was only after Zhou Yunshi quietly gave her the money and sent a letter home that Sun Lifang realized her husband had shielded her from so much trouble.
He fulfilled his pre-marital promises, such as asking for a bride price and annual holiday gifts, just like a normal son-in-law: "Treat your parents as mine."
The money given to both sets of parents was roughly the same, so Sun Lifang didn't need to worry about it and didn't want to see her bow down.
Conversely, Sun Lifang felt she should be more sensible and care about the people and things her husband cared about because she loved him.
"Husbands and wives should be considerate of each other and give each other face in everything they do."
This is the way of getting along that Sun Lifang only discovered after she was reborn.
In the past, although she appeared indifferent on the surface, she had long been feeling extremely resentful inside.
