Chapter 399 The next task - Miss Wu
Zhou Leng felt a little tired when she returned to the workshop. She sat on the bed in a daze for a rare moment and casually grabbed the recording thread, which recorded everything from the beginning of her mission to the end of the previous mission. The memories, like a glimpse of flowers, slowly emerged in her mind.
Xiao Ding, who was beside Zhou Leng, said with emotion: "Unconsciously, we have traveled through so many worlds and witnessed so many wonderful lives."
"Yes, fortunately you are always here, Momo is always here, these memories are still here, and fortunately the feelings are gone, otherwise this life after life would seem to have no end and make people feel bored."
Xiao Ding looked at the person who was full of emotion in surprise, and the unfamiliar feeling made him shake his head.
"Master, I feel like you have changed."
"I have changed. I have been infected by the vulgarity of this world and have the embodiment of the seven emotions and six desires."
Xiao Ding remained silent. He thought that even if it was a god, like the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, if it had consciousness, it would have feelings.
After a long time of companionship, Zhou Leng said softly, "Let's go to the next mission."
"Rise up!"
The task panel contains detailed information about the next task:
Name of client: Wu Chenmin.
Client’s gender: Female.
Occupation before death: art instructor.
Cause of death: medical malpractice.
Age at death: 30.
Client’s wish: All my misfortunes started when I disobeyed my father’s orders and eloped. I want to see if my life would be different if I obeyed my father’s orders.
Zhou Leng received the memories of his original body.
The client, Wu Chenmin, lived in a turbulent time with warlord separatism and feudal ideas. As a woman, she was treated unfairly at home. In order to get rid of her father's arranged marriage, she chose to escape. The four men she loved in her life were all selfish and abandoned her for various reasons. Later, the war broke out and she fled overseas. She was hospitalized for illness and was misdiagnosed by the doctor and died on the operating table.
Wu Chenmin had a life of wandering, longing for love but never getting true love. Her parents asked her to get married, but she ran away, bringing shame to her family and damaging her reputation. She died at the age of thirty. She wondered if the result would have been different if she had obeyed her father's orders and got married. She longed for love and needed love, and being loved was like a morbid obsession that drove her crazy.
The Wu family is well-off. In order for Wu Chenmin to marry into a wealthy family, her father, Wu Fengjun, sent her to a new-style school. Now that she has graduated from junior high school, her father has already found a husband for her.
When Zhou Leng arrived, Wu Chenmin had been on a hunger strike for a while. She was locked in the house, and the last words she heard from her father were:
"Even if you are about to starve to death, I will carry you to the Zhang family. You must die in the Zhang family."
Zhou Leng lay on the bed and looked around. The room was a little dim. Not far away there was a desk which also served as a dressing table. Items were neatly arranged and a badly worn wardrobe was half open. Her stomach was growling with hunger and her body was soft and weak.
"I agree to marry, bring me something to eat."
The voice was so thin that no one outside the house answered.
About half an hour later, someone opened the door. Zhou Leng looked over and saw that it was the family's cook. She said with a look of pity:
"Miss, just listen to the master and eat your meal. If you continue like this, you will starve to death. Your body will never be your own."
"Help me up, I have no strength left. I will eat well. Tell my father that I agree to get married."
The cook smiled sincerely when she heard this.
When the hot food filled his empty stomach, Zhou Leng felt alive again.
That evening, Zhou Leng was taken to a restaurant for dinner. It was just a mud house. Her parents were very satisfied with her obedience and quietness. They said that she had grown up and was sensible, and her parents would not harm her.
After Zhou Leng had agreed with her family, she could leave her room, but not the house. On weekdays, she would go to her brother's room to read his books and newspapers, and she also had a detailed understanding of the current situation.
There were wars among warlords, but the area where the Wu family lived was relatively peaceful and the land was fertile. At least there were no refugees in rags and naked clothes.
Wu Chenmin’s fiancé is the fourth child in his family. His family has been practicing medicine for generations and they opened the largest clinic and pharmacy in the county.
In modern times, influenced by Western culture, the Zhang family's fourth son, Zhang Shouhe, the original owner's fiancé, and fifth son Zhang Shouyi both went to new-style schools. It is said that Zhang Shouhe also went to Taipei to learn skills from foreign doctors, and now works in the newly built hospital in the county.
Zhou Leng sorted out the family relationships within a few days. His grandfather had three daughters and one son. His third aunt married a military officer and became his concubine. This was considered one of the Wu family's backers. After all, in this era, only those with guns could be powerful.
Although the Wu family did not have a medical family history like the Zhang family, this generation has developed very well. The original body's father, Wu Fengjun, ran a restaurant, and 70% of the restaurant's profits were given to his third brother-in-law, who was an officer. The remaining 30% also made their family live a wealthy life. The family also had some small shops such as a tofu shop and a vegetable shop, all of which were run by the original body's grandfather.
The original mother, Chen Xiuting, was a woman who grew up under feudal ethics, which emphasized that the wife should follow her husband and support her husband in raising children. She gave birth to a daughter as her first child, but the child died before the full month. She injured her body when she gave birth to her second child, Wu Chenmin, and it took another four years before she gave birth to her son, Wu Chenrui. She treated her son like a treasure.
Originally, Wu Chenmin's mother Chen Xiuting did not agree with her going to school. She felt that her daughter only needed to learn embroidery, needlework, cooking and housework. It was Wu Fengjun's insistence that made her stop saying anything more. She also secretly let her learn needlework and cooking so that she could serve her husband and his parents-in-law when she returned to her husband's family in the future.
There are many reasons why this marriage was possible. First, it was because Wu Chenmin went to a new-style school. Second, it was because of the uncle who he had only met a few times. Third, the two families wanted to stick together for warmth. In this chaotic world, food and medicine were the most important things. They had to combine their resources to survive.
The sixteen-year-old Wu Chenmin didn't know the interests behind this, but Zhou Leng saw it clearly during this period, so as long as the Wu family did not fall, Wu Chenmin's life in her husband's family would not be bad. However, what Wu Chenmin wanted was love.
Zhou Leng lived an easy life in the Wu family. She ate and slept every day. However, social supplies were scarce, so she reluctantly spent two points to exchange a lot of snacks and biscuits from Xiao Ding and hid them in wooden boxes in the house.
After two months, Zhou Leng finally finished all the food. She reaped great rewards. Her physical strength increased several times, her height increased by five centimeters, her complexion became rosy, and she was full of energy.
The wedding went on as planned. Even though it was self-proclaimed as a new trend, Zhou Leng still wore a bright red wedding dress with a tulle on her head. The groom wore a suit and a top hat, and they got married according to traditional etiquette.
It was rare for the county to have such a grand wedding and such a lively atmosphere, and almost everyone in the county came to watch the fun.
In order to show that they valued this marriage, the Wu family accepted the betrothal gifts and prepared a dowry of the same price.
The only ones who were unhappy about the whole wedding were probably the newlyweds. No, that was not the case. Probably only the groom. The bride was very happy because half of her mission of getting married was accomplished.
