Lu Yao couldn't bear to see his mother sad, so he put his arm around her shoulder and said:

"Mom, do you remember telling you that I can foresee the future?"

Lu Yao had said this to Jiang Guizhi on the very night he was reborn, but she took it as a joke and didn't take it to heart at all.

After all, in her eyes, her son had never left her side since he was a child.

Lu Xiaoqian remembered, and nodded vigorously:

"Brother, you said that!"

Lu Yao patted the top of her head.

Continue talking to Mom:

"I know that when my family was destitute, we went to their house to ask for a place to stay, but they wouldn't give us a place even though they had a spare room. It was better than the people in our commune who gave us a stable. And my cousin even tried to persuade you to marry your sister off to the ferryman."

Lu Xiaoqian shook her head desperately:

"I'd rather die than marry him!"

Lu Yao reached out and touched her head again.

Feeling pity, I didn't say too much about my past life.

Just thinking about it makes my heart ache.

Jiang Guizhi still didn't believe it:

"Child, it's all just your imagination. Changshun didn't really harm us; they're all true relatives. Help him if you can, and don't forget about family ties once you've become capable."

Jiang Guizhi's words made Lu Yao's heart skip a beat.

Now, my mother doesn't believe me at all. After all, what happened in the previous life won't happen again in this life. If I insist on cutting off her relatives from her maternal family, it will hurt the relationship between mother and son.

Just then, Jiang Changshun, outside the gate, shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Tuwazi, come out here, I want to talk to you."

Lu Yao sighed:

"Mom, don't cry. I'll stay here to see you, I won't let them starve. But I'm going out to talk to them, don't come, or I'll throw the meat away rather than give it to them."

Upon hearing her stubborn son speak with a hint of leniency, Jiang Guizhi quickly wiped away her tears:

"Yes, as long as you help him get through this difficult time, Mom will do whatever you want."

Sigh, we're all from the same family, sharing the same surname, Jiang. My mother's heart is just too kind.

The Lu family is no different.

Lu Chuan, the father, was the kindest, and as a result, he suffered the most.

He built houses and donated all the money he earned to the Lu family, only to have his wife and children bullied by them in the end.

Lu Yao turned around and told Xiaoqian to lock the door at home so that her mother wouldn't come out with her.

We arrived in the courtyard.

My cousin Changshun was perched on the wall, craning his neck and waving.

"Hey kid, brother, I'm here. Come here, I want to talk to you for a bit."

"What did you say?"

Lu Yao walked to the wall, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at Jiang Changshun with a fawning smile.

As far as I can remember, this guy has never smiled at me.

When I was little, I liked to act big in front of myself.

When he got married, he would kick anyone who tried to sit in his new room for a while out of the blue, saying he was afraid of getting his blankets dirty.

At this moment, he lost all dignity as the older cousin and laughed like a grandson:

"Tuwazi, I know you don't really like your cousin. But your cousin is so poor he can't take it anymore. If you don't help me out, I won't be able to get through the New Year."

Lu Yao gave a cold laugh: "Many will not survive the previous year, what does it have to do with me?"

My cousin Changshun's hands were so heavy they almost scraped the soil off the wall.

Its neck is stretched out like a turtle's head:

"Hey bro, come a little closer, I have something to tell you..."

"Say it or don't, I'll give you one minute."

Lu Yao took a step back instead.

I was afraid that his mouth, which smelled of alcohol, would spit on my face.

"Okay, okay. I'll tell you."

Cousin Changshun looked around.

There was no one around.

Even his wife, Chunyan, was standing ten meters away, waiting for him at the entrance of Grandpa Zuo's house.

Following Chunyan's advice, she went home, preferring to starve rather than beg for help in such a humble manner.

But Changshunzi was unwilling to accept this; he didn't want to starve to death.

"Hey bro, what do you think of your sister-in-law's looks?"

Lu Yao raised an eyebrow.

He looked at Changshunzi.

With its small head and long neck, it really does look a bit like a tortoise.

"What do you mean?"

"Brother, I'm so tired of living like this. To be honest, I've been wanting to find someone to settle down with for a while now. Otherwise, your little nephew won't even grow up. Rather than letting an outsider benefit, it's better to keep the good stuff in the family!"

Lu Yao looked at this guy.

My initial aversion intensified.

Labangtao is an old custom. Usually, when the husband is seriously ill and unable to support his wife, children, or elderly parents, the wife is asked to find another kind-hearted man to take care of the family's livelihood.

After her husband passed away, the wife naturally married him and they lived together.

But you, Jiang Changshun, are a perfectly healthy man with hands and feet, how could you possibly think of having your wife sell her body to support the family?

Lu Yao reached out and slapped him across the face:

"Jiang Changshun, are you even human? You're young and strong, and you're looking for someone to seduce you?"

Chunyan heard this too.

I immediately tensed up.

He took a few steps forward, clenching his fists.

I feel ashamed that my man said such a thing.

But at the same time, I also felt powerless.

too poor.

She really wanted to break up with the idle and lazy Jiang Changshun.

But he didn't have the courage to file for divorce.

Besides, Jiang Changshun is a scoundrel. If I were to leave by force, he might just take a knife and chop up my own family members.

Last time, she went back to her parents' home in a fit of pique, and he dragged her back with a knife.

When his father tried to stop him, the man kicked him so hard that his ribs broke.

In the past, if any male commune member spoke more than a word to him, Jiang Changshun would scold him for being cheap when he got home. Now, he actually wants to find someone else to seduce him?

Is he going to watch other men sleep with him?

His eyes involuntarily drifted to Lu Yao's face.

My heart started pounding.

Even though Lu Yao is more handsome than Chang Shun, he is still an outsider.

Chunyan didn't dare to think any further.

Traditional women value this matter more than their own lives.

Unlike girls nowadays, many young women with a "spirited" attitude have tattooed their ex-boyfriends' names on their bodies, almost making them a common surname, and they are not ashamed but proud of it.

The moment Chunyan had that slight thought, the veins on her face almost burst.

Although Cousin Changshun was slapped by Lu Yao, he didn't shrink back at all.

Instead, she cried and said:

"Brother, I have no choice. I'm out of food, let alone for the New Year. If you don't agree, your whole family will starve to death!"

"Then sell your wife to the ferryman; he can give you food."

In my past life you sold my sister, this time you can sell your own wife.

But Changshun shook his head frantically:

"No, no, I can't live without Chunyan."

This guy wants to use his wife's body to make money, but he doesn't want to lose her. Damn it, he's shameless.

Lu Yao opened the door and grabbed his collar, pulling him outside.

"Get down! Stop leaning over my wall! Get out of here right now!"

Chang Shunzi knelt down with a "thump".

Clinging to Lu Yao's leg, he pleaded, "Brother, I'm begging you! How about you sleep with your sister-in-law just once, and let me take the food and meat my aunt gave me?"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Chunyan:

"Why don't you hurry up and come beg my brother?"

Even if Chunyan had a thick skin, she couldn't say something like that.

Lu Yao looked at his shameless cousin.

Suddenly, he nodded and said, "Alright, as long as Sister Chunyan agrees, I'll give it to you!"

Changshun's cousin was immediately delighted.

He turned around and ran over to grab Chunyan by the back of the neck:

"Chunyan, did you hear that? My brother agreed to sleep with you, you should thank him!"
