Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag
Chapter 366: Honest People Should Live Their Own Lives (2)
"You have only one main task, which is to change the original owner's fate and let him live an ideal life." 001 said.
The next moment, Chen Xuyan appeared in the room. He rubbed his neck. The original owner had been lying on the table for too long and his blood circulation was a little blocked.
He stood up and walked around again.
Chen Xuyan shared this house with another teacher. The owner of the house was also a retired teacher from the same school.
The other party only charged them 500 yuan in rent per person, and provided them with everything they needed, including air conditioning, washing machine, natural gas, floor heating, and public water and electricity. The only requirement was that they take good care of the house.
The old man has now moved abroad with his son and daughter-in-law.
It's really fair. The houses around S University are very expensive, more than 30,000 yuan per square meter. This place is within the second ring road of S City.
There is everything you need for eating, drinking and having fun around.
There is a big shopping mall across the street just downstairs.
There is a lakeside greenway about 500 meters away by bicycle. This is also the largest lakeside greenway in S City.
At the end is an island with many amusement facilities and restaurants.
The phone rang.
Chen Zhaodi asked him to go out for dinner.
Chen Xuyan agreed.
Chen Zhaodi was the original owner's aunt and the culprit who harmed him. She and Xie Wanying's mother were card-playing friends, and she had bad intentions when she introduced Xie Wanying to him from the beginning.
She hated the original owner's grandparents for making her suffer so much since childhood, although she had come to S City to work when she was a teenager and had long escaped the Chen family's bloodsucking.
However, as the Chen family's life gradually improved, the resentment in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
The husband Chen Zhaodi married was a drunkard, a whoremonger, and a gambler. They didn't have a good life in S City, but fortunately they had an old house, so they didn't have to worry about having no place to live.
His son, the original owner's cousin, was a very unsuccessful person. He didn't even get into high school and went to a vocational school. After graduation, he had to rely on the money given by Chen Zhaodi and his wife to support himself.
But the original owner completed her bachelor's and master's degrees at a 211 university in S City, and now even works as a school counselor. How can she feel balanced?
Chen Xuyan's parents are actually not poor. They are engaged in decoration business and have made a lot of money in recent years. But in addition to Chen Xuyan, they also have two children.
They didn't like Chen Xuyan. Chen Xuyan grew up with the two old people and was forced to live in their home in the county town until he went to high school.
There really is no emotion.
However, Chen Xuyan's admission to a prestigious university did bring them honor.
Over the years, the original owner has tried to repair his relationship with them, but he can only get their good face when he gives them the scholarships he has won.
Other times, they simply ignored the original owner.
The original owner finally saw things clearly and completely cut off all contact with them.
However, something happened to the Chen family recently. Chen's father lost 800,000 yuan because he provided a guarantee for someone.
The family’s savings were completely gone, and the twins could no longer continue their studies in private high school.
They started asking the original owner for money again, but were rejected by the original owner. The original owner did have money, but he didn't want to give it.
He worked diligently in college. His small online store sold two hot-selling items and earned four or five hundred thousand yuan. But now, due to the severe copycat attacks, he earns less and less.
The so-called brothers and sisters spoke to him no more than two slaps of the hand, and the original owner was ten years younger than them.
When he was in high school, his younger siblings, who were not much older than him, said he was a country bumpkin when he was trying on clothes, and asked his mother to send him back to the countryside.
When their grandparents came over, they changed their attitude and insisted on buying clothes themselves.
They picked out expensive things, even Chen's father would have Yu's clothes, but grandpa and grandma still bought them.
In the end, it was only worn a few times, and after being stained by mulberries, Chen's mother threw it away without any hesitation.
Two ungrateful people, plus a pair of irresponsible parents, is a perfect combination.
--Restaurant
Chen Xuyan ordered several dishes in one go.
Chen Zhaodi's eyes were about to pierce him, and she finally couldn't help but say, "Isn't this too much? It would be such a waste if we can't finish it."
Even if her family came here to eat, she would not be willing to order so many dishes.
Chen Xuyan said shyly, "I'm sorry, Auntie, I haven't eaten here before because it's too difficult to make an appointment and it's expensive. My colleagues said these dishes are delicious, so I wanted to try it."
"I definitely won't waste it. If I can't finish it, I can pack it up and have two meals for it tomorrow." He looked at the dishes on other tables as if he had never seen the world before.
Chen Zhaodi smiled, and the disdain in her eyes disappeared quickly. "Auntie, that's not what I meant. Just order it. Eat more. When you get together with Wanying in the future, you can bring her here to eat."
Chen Xuyan said in great embarrassment, "But I definitely can't afford 400,000 yuan for the betrothal gift. I've only saved 80,000 yuan in the past two years of working, and that's from living frugally. I'm planning to buy a house in the future."
Chen Zhaodi didn't believe him. "Didn't you say you made some money from running an online store? How come it's only 80,000?"
"I did earn tens of thousands, but I used it all to pay off my student loan. The student loan was interest-free for five years, and I wanted to pay it off all at once. My parents didn't give me any living expenses when I was in college, and I earned my living expenses by working part-time. Alas." Chen Xuyan looked very depressed.
She opened her mouth and after a while, she said, "What about your parents? Your parents make a lot of money decorating houses. Which family doesn't want to buy a house these days?"
A wave of hope rose in Chen Zhaodi's heart again.
Chen Xuyan smiled bitterly and shook his head. "This is a family scandal, but you are a family member after all, so I'll tell you."
He went on to say with great embarrassment, "My dad recently acted as a guarantor for a friend and ended up paying back 800,000 yuan for him. My younger brother and sister's tuition is almost gone, and they're still asking me for money!"
"You don't know the tuition fees of my brother and sister. It's one hundred thousand a year, which is two hundred thousand for two people, not to mention living expenses. Where can I get so much money?" The original owner did not tell this news in his previous life.
Chen Zhaodi and Xie Wanying always thought that he could still get money from his family. Later, when they saw that there was no hope at all and Chen Xuyan could not support her, Xie Wanying reluctantly went out to find a job.
When Chen Zhaodi heard the news, she almost laughed out loud. She quickly covered her mouth and thought for a while.
Chen Xuyan wouldn't lie to her, right?
However, he doesn't seem to have so many tricks up his sleeve, he's just a country bumpkin.
"Tell me in detail and I'll give you some advice." Chen Zhaodi wanted to know all the ugly things in his family immediately.
While eating, Chen Xuyan kept talking and polishing the story of the Chen family.
