1. The Excellent Youngest Son in the Early 1980s (1)

Ji Changze opened his eyes and just sat up, he heard a middle-aged female voice with dissatisfaction outside, raising her voice to accuse someone:

"Our eldest brother Changze didn't even ask for a three-wheeler! He just wants a bicycle, and you are not happy?! As the eldest brother, it costs money for his younger brother to get a bicycle to show off when he gets married, and he still eats public food in the city. Boss, you can't be so conscienceless!"

Ji Changze didn't go out directly, but continued to listen quietly to the noise outside, while listening, checking the original owner's memory.

This is in the process of national construction, and it is still an era of eating from a big pot and doing collective work.

The original owner's home is in a small village in the north. There are two brothers in the family, and their parents are still alive. He is the youngest one.

Generally speaking, the youngest son is more favored, and this is also the case in the original owner's family.

At first, it was because he was sweet and coaxed people. Although he had no ability and was lazy, he was particularly good at painting big cakes, saying "I will do this and that when I succeed in the future", coaxing his parents to love him more.

Later, his eldest brother got married. His eldest sister-in-law was from the city. She was the only daughter in the family and was a salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative in the city. It was impossible for her to give up such a good position and follow her husband to the countryside. So his father-in-law found a way to find a relationship and found him a worker position in the city.

In this era, workers were very popular. The original owner's eldest brother would be crazy not to go, so he went to the city smoothly. Because he had no money to buy a house in the city, he lived in his father-in-law and mother-in-law's house.

Because it was difficult for workers to take leave, they could not go home often to visit.

This made the original owner's parents dissatisfied. They felt that their son, who had been raised with great difficulty, ran away to someone else's house, causing them to be said by the villagers that their son became a live-in son-in-law, which was shameful!

So, originally they only favored the younger son, but now it has directly evolved into being unkind to the eldest son and doting on the younger son.

After all, in their eyes, the eldest son has gone to the father-in-law and mother-in-law's house to be a son, and the younger son is their own.

With the eldest son as a negative example, the original owner's sweet-mouthed younger son who always said that he would stay with his parents and be filial to them for the rest of his life was good in the eyes of his parents.

Always lazy and ask for leave from work?

That's because he is weak.

Not diligent at work and runs faster than anyone else when eating?

If you are weak, you must eat more and make up for it.

Lazy in bed and sleep every day, walking cats and dogs instead of doing anything?

This is home-loving, which is better than just thinking about running out every day.

Before their eldest son got married, he worked very hard, but what happened? He got married and became the son of someone else's family.

The original owner grew up crooked, and he loved to be lazy and take advantage of others. Now he is justified in relying on his parents. Not only does he rely on his parents, he also asks his parents to exploit his eldest brother, and even his eldest brother.

His elder brother was a filial son. Although he was reluctant to give up his job in the city, he gave half of his monthly salary to his parents. When he had a break, he would buy food and drinks to visit his parents. All the money and things naturally went to the original owner, so he lived a comfortable life.

With no worries about food and drink and reaching the age, the original owner began to think about getting married.

The problem was that although he had no ability, he had high standards. He looked down on those rustic girls in the village and only liked those who were fair, tender and good-looking.

The key point was that he liked those girls, but those girls didn't like him.

It happened that he was lazy and didn't go to work. When he was walking home, he happened to see a beautiful female student from the same village fall into the river. The original owner's eyes lit up, and he jumped into the river with a splash and fished the person out.

Don't get me wrong, he is not a brave man.

He was thinking of taking advantage of the opportunity by claiming to have saved someone.

The original owner was able to get the upper hand quite smoothly. The female student was half-dazed at the time and didn't notice it. When the villagers around heard the noise and ran over, he just pulled her out.

For the original owner, this was a dangerous and safe opportunity.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, I heard that the female student caught a cold and had a high fever when she returned home. She was busy taking care of her sick mother and her father who broke his leg, so she didn't know how she got burned and became mute.

She was good-looking and a high school student. Her future was definitely not limited to this small village, but now she became mute. Even if she had a high school degree, there are so many jobs now. Who would hire a mute?

Her father's leg was broken and he couldn't go to work. Her mother was sick and needed medicine. She herself was dumb and couldn't find a job. As an only child, she had to take care of her parents. If she wanted to cure her mother, she had to have money to buy medicine, but there was no money at home. Where could she get the money?

The female student had no choice but to find a matchmaker and ask her to help find a husband. She also asked for a dowry and asked the man to help take care of her family after marriage.

According to the doctor's estimate, if she could buy medicine and take care of her mother slowly, her mother would at least get better gradually.

The problem was that they were all villagers and not rich. This dowry was three times the usual dowry. If she wasn't dumb, it would be fine. Now she is dumb. Even with a high school degree, she can't find a job. Who would be willing to spend this money to marry her?

Besides, not to mention the money, she would have to take care of her family in the future, which was not cost-effective.

Others were not happy, but the original owner was.

He was just jealous of her good looks and good figure. He didn't care if she was dumb or not, as long as she was good-looking.

He had an idea and planned to marry her to live happily.

At first, the family didn't agree, thinking that she was dumb and her parents were a burden, so it was useless to marry such a daughter-in-law, but the original owner insisted on marrying her.

So they gritted their teeth and agreed. Most of the betrothal gift was the money that the original owner's eldest brother had given to him before.

Even so, the original owner was still not satisfied. He insisted that his marriage was a big day, asked for money to buy things, and asked for a bicycle to make up for the occasion. He deceived his parents and asked them to ask his eldest brother for a bicycle, saying that he would pay for it when the bicycle arrived, but he spent all the money.

When the eldest brother came to ask for money, he went to gossip with his parents, saying that the eldest brother did not consider his younger brother as a family member, and only wanted to take money from them to support the eldest sister-in-law's family.

This touched the psychological minefield of the two elders. The thing they hated most was that the eldest son who had been raised with great effort ran away to someone else's house to become a "son-in-law", so they immediately stood on the side of the younger son without hesitation.

The original owner's elder brother felt depressed. He was a filial son and was going to stay overnight. Because of this matter, he felt that his parents were partial to him and could not stay at home, so he hurried back at night.

As a result, it was too dark, and there was no street light at this time, so his feet slipped and fell into the pond.

In the middle of the night, he was not as lucky as the female student. Someone came out to rescue him, and he sank in after a few struggles.

The eldest son died, and the original owner's parents were stunned. They were angry that the eldest son left them to go to the city and ran away to become someone else's "son-in-law", which made them ridiculed, but they never thought that the eldest son would die.

Both were almost crying and blind, and regrets were unable to regret it. As a result, the original Lottery was given, but she never thought of helping her take care of her parents anyway. I couldn't do it as soon as possible, and the original owner was angry, and it was just a meal. When the two elders were still alive, she could stop him. When the two elders died early because of the death of their eldest son, her life was completely plunged into domestic violence and gloom.

She was pregnant twice, once with twins, but she was abused by the original owner because she was about to give birth, and finally gave birth to a pair of dead babies.

The last pregnancy was a smooth birth of a daughter. The child had a high fever, but the original owner thought that this was a girl and was worthless. She refused to go to the doctor and was smart enough to wipe the child with cold water to cool down.

The result is imaginable. In the middle of winter, the baby girl was already sick, and was wiped with cold water, and was not dried and wrapped in swaddling clothes. The baby girl died on the same day.

She was completely crazy after losing her child.

While still in the confinement period, she chased the original owner with scissors and stabbed him all the way. After that, the original owner died. She was also arrested for intentional homicide and spent her whole life in prison.

Ji Changze finished reading the original plot and felt that the original owner was really amazing.

He alone directly or indirectly harmed his wife, parents, elder brother, elder sister-in-law, three children, a total of eight people.

[Ding! The memory has been transferred. Mission: Protect parents, wife, children, change the established ending, and do not ooc. Please choose whether to stay. ]

Ji Changze: [Stay. ]

The system went offline after issuing the mission.

The voice of the middle-aged woman outside was still very loud, full of self-righteousness and strong dissatisfaction:

"I knew it a long time ago that you are a man who married a wife and forgot his mother. You went to the city and became a city dweller, and you forgot your brother who was still suffering in the countryside? You don't even think about it. When Changze hadn't learned to swim yet, you took him out to play, and he fell into the river and drowned. If he hadn't been so lucky, how could he live until now? What did you tell me when your brother just woke up? You said it was all your fault, and you would definitely take good care of your brother in the future. Now you are taking care of him like this. ? ! ! "

"Just a bicycle, you and your wife both work in the city and eat government meals, can't you afford it? Oh, this is incredible, this morning I thought you finally knew how to be filial to me and your father, and knew to come back to see us, what happened? Turn around and ask me for money for the bicycle, go out and ask, which married son asks his parents for money! ! "

Ji Changguang was scolded by her and sweated profusely, and could only explain weakly: "Mom, you have to be reasonable, this money was originally paid by Huifen and me for Changze, how can I ask you for money?"

"Bah! You went to the city to be a live-in son-in-law, and Changze lived with me and your father. You asked him for money, isn't that asking us for money? Do you really want us to give you this money?! Okay! I'll go to your factory and ask if your leaders think that what you did is right! If they think it's right, then I'll pay you this money!!"

After listening for a while, Ji Changze roughly realized that Ji's mother was smart. She seemed to be a country girl making a scene, but in fact, she was threatening to go to the place where her eldest son worked to make trouble while bringing up the fact that her eldest son had wronged her younger son in the past.

She was Ji Changguang's biological mother. If she accused her son of being unfilial, at best he would be looked down upon by others, and at worst he would lose his job and his reputation.

Although Ji Changze knew after listening to a few words that this was just to scare Ji Changguang, although Ji's parents squeezed him in various ways because his eldest son became someone else's "live-in son-in-law", he was their own child after all, and it was impossible for him to really cause Ji Changguang to lose his job.

But Ji Changguang didn't know.

In this era, work and reputation are both important. He must give in when he is accused and threatened.

Sure enough, Ji Changguang's urgent voice came from outside: "Mom, what are you doing? Didn't you ask my dad to help carry the bicycle before? I thought..."

"What do you think? You are the elder brother. Changze is getting married. It's good that I didn't ask you for money. You bought a bicycle. Look how aggrieved you are. Come on, if you don't want to give it, push it back. Tomorrow I will ask my in-laws how they are so capable. They are obviously marrying off their daughter, but they finally made my son a live-in son-in-law. Now, they think of all kinds of ways to take money from our Ji family and give it to their family. Oh, they are really capable."

After hearing this, Ji Changguang immediately became anxious.

If his mother really made such a scene, his wife would have no reputation left, so she could only coax her:

"Mom, if you don't push it back, we don't want the money, and we'll give this bike to Changze. Don't be angry, or you'll get angry again."

"That's better!"

Ji's mother glared at her son fiercely, thinking that Ji Changguang didn't let go of all the things she had said just now, but he quickly agreed when she mentioned his daughter-in-law, and she was even more angry.

Who has suffered more than her? She gave birth to a son and raised him up with great effort, but he forgot his mother after he got married!

She shook off his hand that wanted to support her with a bad face, and turned to go into the house.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Ji Changze coming out of the house.

"Hey, Changze is out?"

Ji's mother's originally stern face immediately smiled and greeted him warmly: "Didn't you say you were full and wanted to sleep for a while? It's not time for dinner yet, why are you awake now? Are you hungry? Mom put some dried sweet potatoes in the room. The weather is still a little cold. You can eat them in the quilt. I'll bring them to the room for you."

Behind her, Ji Changguang had a sad face.

He brought the dried sweet potatoes. He didn't even want to eat them himself. He just wanted to make his parents happy.

In the end, he didn't say a word in good terms and was scolded.

Ji Changze didn't go to see his elder brother. He said sweet words to Ji's mother: "Thank you, mom. You are so kind. You always think of me. When I become successful in the future, I will definitely be filial to you and my dad. I will let you live in a big house, with chicken, duck, fish and meat every day, and eat whatever you want."

This made Ji's mother smile a little bigger. She looked at her lovely little son with joy in her eyes: "You are a very filial child."

After saying that, she looked back at her elder son and snorted coldly: "You are not like your brother, you are really an ungrateful person."

Ji Changguang, who handed over half of his salary every month and thought of his parents when he saw delicious food and drinks: "..."

He felt wronged. Such a big man wanted to cry.

Ji Changguang just couldn't understand why his parents were so partial. It was obvious that he had paid more than Changze and thought of his parents in everything he did, but why did they always only have Changze in their eyes?

He felt wronged and depressed. In addition, buying that bicycle not only used up his connections to get the bicycle ticket, but also spent all his savings. As a result, he still didn't get a good face from his parents.

Feeling depressed, Ji Changguang originally planned to stay at home for one night and go to the city the next day, but now, he suddenly didn't want to stay.

Anyway, his parents didn't like him.

He spoke in a low voice, not embarrassed to say that he was jealous of his brother, and made up a random excuse: "Mom, I'll go back first, Huifen is still waiting for me at home for dinner."

This was also a bit childish and angry.

If you don't feel sorry for me, someone else does, and I am not without a place to live and food to eat.

It would have been better if he didn't say it. When he said it, Ji's mother was so angry that she almost took a big broom and hit her eldest son.

What a rubbish, he didn't stay at home, but had to go to his father-in-law and mother-in-law's house. Now he finally came back to see his parents, but he didn't even stay for his wife.

How could she have given birth to such a terrible son.

"Go!! Go!! Go!! Get out of here as if no one is stopping you!!"

Ji Changguang, who felt that he was scolded for no reason, felt even more aggrieved and turned to walk out. Seeing that he was about to "drown", Ji Changze hurriedly chased after him.

"Brother, I'm going to the toilet, let's go together."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand to hang on his elder brother's shoulder with a playful smile, as if they were on good terms, and pulled the confused Ji Changguang out.

When they got outside, Ji Changze said directly: "Brother, why do you always make mom angry? Look at her, her face is green with anger."

Ji Changguang was originally confused that his brother, who had never been close to him, was suddenly willing to walk with him. When he heard this, the grievance in his heart suddenly came up.

He said in a muffled voice: "I didn't offend mom, it's mom who doesn't like me."

"Nonsense."

Ji Changze still looked nonsensical: "Mom likes you very much. When you first went to the city, mom missed you so much that she cried every day. She would talk about you when she cooked and ate, and she would talk about you at least eight hundred times a day."

Ji Changguang, who was in the state of "my parents don't love my brother and they only want to spend my money", was shocked and looked up in disbelief: "Really?"

"Really, why would I lie to you, I heard mom muttering your name, and my ears are all calloused."

Ji Changze didn't lie, Ji's mother muttered about her eldest son every day.

But she was gritting her teeth.

Ji Changguang, who didn't know this, felt a little lighter: "Mom actually misses me so much?"

He thought his mother didn't like him.

"That's right, big brother, I'm not saying this as your younger brother. Your parents love you so much, why do you always do things that make them sad?"

Ji Changguang was confused: "I didn't do anything that made them sad."

"You're still saying no, just tell me, today, you gave our family a bicycle, right? No matter where you put it, it will be praised. Why did your mother not praise you, but scold you?"

Ji Changguang shook his head blankly.

Ji Changguang patted his shoulder: "Look at you, Mom originally felt that you were taken away by the eldest sister-in-law, and you still acted as if you were afraid that Mom didn't hate the eldest sister-in-law enough. What did you just say? You and the eldest sister-in-law see each other every day in the city, and your parents can only see each other a few times a month. You finally come back, and you are still thinking about going home to have dinner with the eldest sister-in-law. How can Mom be happy? Don't you think that you have raised this son in vain?"

"I'm not... I don't think so, I..."

"You don't think so, but you said that. I know you have a good relationship with the eldest sister-in-law, but it's good for you to be good. Why are you showing off in front of Mom? Oh, she gave birth to you and raised you, but you turned around and ran to the eldest sister-in-law's house. You don't even want to stay at home for a night. Tell me, how can Mom feel happy? ?”

Ji Changguang hung his head: “I really didn’t mean that.”

“I also know you didn’t mean it. So, just pay attention next time. I’ll say more good things for you. You should also praise your sister-in-law for being filial to them in front of mom. If you don’t mention your sister-in-law every time you buy something, it’s strange that mom can see your sister-in-law as close to them.”

“Anyway, next time, when you bring something, just say that your sister-in-law insisted on buying it for mom and dad. I promise mom won’t scold you.”

Ji Changguang took note of it seriously, and looked at his brother with a little more gratitude. With a little intimacy, he whispered:

“Changze, then tell me, since dad and mom love me, why do they insist on me buying you a bicycle?”

If it weren’t for favoritism towards Ji Changze, how could it be justified?

Ji Changze counted on his fingers: "Look, when we were kids, you took me out to play, but you were too busy playing and didn't watch me, so I fell into the water. Do you remember that?"

The tall man in front of him nodded.

"When I was a kid, I was always in good health, and my brain was smarter than yours. Do you remember that?"

Ji Changguang nodded again.

Ji Changze: "Since I fell into the water and almost drowned, I became weak. I can't do this or that, and my brain is not as smart as before. You know that."

It's true that he can't do this or that, but it was all pretended by the original owner, so that he could eat and drink again by pretending to be sick and not work.

But Ji Changguang didn't know.

Recalling that he almost killed his brother, he showed some guilt in his eyes: "Changze, I really didn't mean it at that time..."

"I know, I know."

Ji Changze comforted him: "Brother, you must not mean it, but think about it, why didn't I go to school before? Wasn't it because I was weak and couldn't get up early? Look at you, you are in good health, you went to school, and you can be a worker after graduation, what about me, my brother?"

He sighed, as if he was very sad: "Just because I was flooded when I was a child, I was weak. Because of my weak body, I couldn't go to school, and I couldn't go to work in the city like you. Because I was weak and couldn't do farm work and couldn't find a job, it was so difficult to find a wife. Because it was difficult to find a wife, I found a dumb wife. Although I like my wife very much, but in our situation, we must save face in the village, so don't we need a bicycle?"

"If I hadn't been drowned by you when I was a child, and now I work in the city like you and get so much salary every month, would I still use a bicycle to show off? I definitely wouldn't!"

This series of logic is as perfect as "You ate one of my eggs, eggs gave birth to chickens, chickens gave birth to eggs, so in conclusion: you ate my entire chicken farm."

Coupled with Ji Changze's righteous expression and righteous attitude, it is even more convincing:

"So, brother, tell me, should you give me this bicycle?"

Honest man Ji Changguang was successfully fooled and nodded stupidly.

"Yes, you should give it!"

He thought that he had actually repelled his younger brother because of this bicycle and didn't even want to stay at home. For a moment, he was full of guilt.

"Changze, I didn't think it through before, don't blame me."

"Hey, we are a family, it's too formal to say this."

Ji Changze smiled and patted his elder brother on the shoulder:

"I forgive you."
