Crossing over reveals a waste's difficult journey home

Logically speaking, a woman whose husband has passed away and who has just given birth to a child should receive pity and sympathy from others!

But the fact is, let alone preferential treatment and sympathy, the villagers already felt that they were very merciful for not immediately kicking the mother and daughter out.

The reason for this situation can be traced back to Emperor Wei You of the Chen Dynasty.

Emperor Wei You wanted to live forever and was particularly fond of seeking immortality.

Who among the powerful does not wish to live forever and enjoy wealth and prosperity forever? This is not a big problem.

However, Emperor Wei You's desire for immortality and becoming an immortal had reached a level that was difficult for ordinary people to understand, and he did a lot of outrageous things.

It includes but is not limited to ordering the people of the country to worship every day a certain deity who is said to have helped him; selecting women with special birth dates from the people to enter the palace to pray for him; building a temple for a certain deity on a large scale, etc.

If there is something good on the top, it will be great on the bottom.

Emperor Wei You reigned for more than 20 years and had a great influence on officials and the people. Even after he died while cultivating immortality and the Chen Dynasty perished, the people's worship of ghosts and gods continued unabated.

In fact, this is also a very helpless thing.

When people cannot change their miserable lives and fates through their own efforts, they will place their hopes elsewhere, and all kinds of illusory ghosts and gods become the best spiritual sustenance.

The small village where Su Zhao was born was a place that was severely brainwashed by gods and ghosts.

When the village was robbed by bandits who suddenly appeared, they did not rush to rescue or ask the government to arrest the bandits. Instead, they wondered if their disrespect for the gods had brought disaster upon them.

However, people have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. Who would want to be accused of disrespecting the gods? So the newly born Su Zhao became the scapegoat.

In fact, it was not surprising at all that Su Zhao was chosen to be the scapegoat at the time.

First of all, Su Zhao’s father and male elders of the same clan were all killed by bandits. Without anyone capable to support him and his mother, it seemed inevitable that they would be bullied.

Secondly, Su Zhao was born at a very bad time. Although his mother gave birth prematurely because she was frightened, the villagers would not think so.

They would only think that Su Zhao was a disaster who took the lives of many people in the village when he was just born.

Su Zhao was born with a big black pot on his back. What could he do?

He was too young at the time and his mother was an ordinary woman. In the turbulent times, she was unable to take him away from the village. The mother and son could only endure rumors and discrimination from others and live a humble life.

It is said that a mother is strong. Su Zhao's mother had no way to take him away from the village where they were discriminated against everywhere. However, the frail woman was already doing her best to raise her child.

She did not abandon her child according to the so-called good intentions of the villagers, nor did she think that her child was a calamity and vent her dissatisfaction imposed on her by others on her child.

She believed that it was a treasure given to her by God and the only comfort after losing all her loved ones.

It was such a strong mother who brought Su Zhao to live in the village until he was ten years old.

When deserters from a certain force entered the village and looted and killed people, he took him away and protected him so that he could survive among the many refugees.

The two years from the age of eight to ten were the most difficult years in Su Zhao and his mother's lives.

In the village, even if you are discriminated against and bullied, at least you can still have food to eat and not starve to death. Leaving the village and becoming a refugee, hunger is the norm.

Su Zhao's mother tried every possible means to raise Su Zhao until he was ten years old. In ancient times, this age was not considered young, and in two years he could get married and have children.

Unfortunately, life did not get better as Su Zhao grew up. Wars became more frequent, and his and his mother's lives became more difficult.

Finally one day, Su Zhao's mother left him the little food she had left and left without saying goodbye.

Su Zhao searched for a long time before he found his mother who was dying of hunger.

Perhaps there really is a saying that people are destined to each other. The fate of Su Zhao and Jiang Qi as king and subject began at that time.

When Jiang Qi and his family passed by, they saw Su Zhao and his mother who was almost starving to death, and saved them.

From then on, Su Zhao became Prince Jiang Qi's most loyal subordinate, Emperor Jiang Qi's most loyal minister, and the most impartial and selfless imperial censor in Daxia.

Now that Su Zhao has achieved success, there are only three things he cares about most.

One, the prosperity of Daxia; two, Jiang Qi’s joys and sorrows; three, his mother’s health.

Su Zhao would spend his entire life to protect the first two things, but the third thing, which involves birth, aging, sickness and death, he cannot control through his own efforts.

He knew that his mother had suffered too much and was lucky to be alive today, but as a son, he always hoped that his mother could live longer so that he could fulfill his filial duties more.

When Su Zhao tasted the special flavor of soy milk and the smooth texture of tofu, he thought that this thing was very suitable for his mother. When Jiang Tuan said that this thing was good for the body, he became very excited.

My mother has lost her teeth and has a poor appetite. She can hardly eat anything. With this soft and delicate tofu pudding and tofu, she should be able to eat more!

It can be said that the emergence of soy products not only helped Daxia, but also helped his mother. This is the whole reason why Su Zhao thanked Jiang Tuan.

Filial people always win the favor of most people, and Jiang Tuan is no exception.

After listening to Su Zhao's story, he immediately said that he could tell the other party some ways to eat tofu, so that the poor old man could have a bite of his favorite food in the last stage of his life.

Seeing Su Zhao's appearance, Jiang Tuan couldn't help but think of his family.

The system said that after completing the task and collecting enough energy, it would send him home. But the system had too little energy, and I didn't know how others would characterize his departure after he came here, was it a sudden disappearance or something else?

He was very glad that he was not an only child. After he left, his sister Jiang Yuan was still alive, which should be able to comfort his parents to some extent!

However, for his family, no amount of comfort may be as good as his return, so no matter what, collecting energy is the most important thing.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tuan couldn't help but tell Jiang Qi about his plan: "Your Majesty, what do you think of this tofu?"

"very good."

"Then, can doing this make the lives of the people better, and can it make Daxia a little stronger?"

Looking at the expectation in Jiang Tuan's eyes, Jiang Qi remembered what the gods had said to him.

The gods told him that Jiang Tuan could help Da Xia become strong, and as long as Da Xia became strong, his children, wife and himself would be protected from harm.
