Chapter 129 The Widow of the Era 1
"Xiao Xu, you really don't want to find another one? Director Zhang from the food factory said that if you're willing, he can send his children to the countryside..."
Hearing the incessant noise around him, Jiang Ping answered the other person as he walked.
"What are you looking for? His family has a lot of kids and they're going to be sent to the countryside anyway. Why are you trying to pin this on me? If you're so bored, go scoop out the shit from the latrine."
After saying that, he ignored the other person.
He opened and closed the door with the key in one smooth motion.
The original owner, Xu Xiping, was from Huaicheng, thirty-six years old, widowed and childless.
After getting married, they lived in the dormitory building allocated by the factory.
Xu's mother, Qiao Zhengyuan, and Xu's father, Xu Guofeng, lived in Liushu Hutong.
It took the original owner less than ten minutes to walk back.
After getting married, the eldest brother, Xu Xichang, and his wife, Meng Yan, moved into the small house allocated by the factory and began living as a couple.
It doesn't matter if the house is small or simple, as long as it doesn't interfere with eating and sleeping.
Once the child was born and raised to the point where he was old enough to go to school, we sent him to live in the alley.
It was to prevent the elderly couple from feeling too lonely at home...
The original owner's husband, Zhou Gu, had been dead for several years, but the original owner had no plans to remarry.
The young couple hadn't had any pregnancies after their marriage and had even gone to the hospital for checkups.
After that, Zhou Gu started taking medicine sporadically, pretending to take care of his body.
With Zhou Gu making a big show of it beforehand.
The neighbors decided it was best not to let the crickets chirp anymore, saying that the original owner was infertile and lacked good fortune.
The original owner and Zhou Gu were used to their freedom and didn't really want children.
Zhou Gu's parents didn't care much about this son.
They are busy taking care of their eldest and second sons' children.
If they don't want to have a younger son, then they don't have to. Even if they do, they won't have time to take care of him.
But I never expected him to leave so suddenly.
Sigh, even if I wanted to get some of my son's inheritance from my daughter-in-law, I couldn't.
In the end, only half of the money Zhou Gu earned from his job was distributed.
...
The original owner and Zhou Gu spent money recklessly after their marriage.
Buying clothes, leather shoes, candy, meat, going to the movies, eating at state-run restaurants...
It's safe to say that they barely manage not to ask their parents for money, which is something everyone knows.
My in-laws always complain that a few dollars is not enough for their retirement.
These two could shamelessly eat at their brother's and sister-in-law's house with their parents-in-law, until their brother and sister-in-law suffered liver pain.
The original owner's parents never expected this.
They thought their daughter and son-in-law were really starving, so they brought rice and flour over after dark.
And then they found the original owner and Zhou Gu at home eating peach shortbread...
In the end, the original owner got a beating from her own mother...
They didn't take the rice and flour back either.
The original owner's elder brother, Xu Xichang, was unaware of the truth. The next day, he also brought rice and flour, as well as eggs from his sister-in-law's family.
This made the original owner and Zhou Gu feel embarrassed...
For the next few decades, the original owner of this body maintained a good relationship with his elder brother's family.
Even her funeral arrangements were handled by Xu Xiping and Meng Yan!
The original owner's wish was for his family to be healthy, and for his older brother and sister-in-law to not have to worry about being laid off and have gray hair, which would look terrible.

The person outside the door who was going to introduce Xu Xiping to a potential partner was named Guan Xianshi.
Guan Xianshi had a class before, and on the surface, she seemed to be a cheerful and generous woman.
Ever since she handed over her job to her eldest son, she started learning how to be a matchmaker.
She doesn't discriminate between men and women, young and old; as long as you offer enough benefits, she'll be willing to help you find a partner.
Now they even dare to scam Xu Xiping.
Because of Zhou Gu's death, Xu Xiping was indifferent, which made outsiders forget the "weird" things she and Zhou Gu had done in the past.
Guan Xianshi realized that Xu Xiping was being so impolite, so she had no choice but to shut up.
He thought to himself that Xu Xiping was ungrateful.
She's unwilling to marry her boss after her second marriage; if it were her, she would definitely have agreed.
Little did he know that his neighbors were laughing at him.
"She thinks she can fool Xu Xiping? She's probably blinded by the promise of benefits."
"Director Zhang could be Xiao Xu's father by now, right?"
"I can't do it, I'm still a few years too young."
"That matchmaker is dishonest. You can't ask her to find a spouse for your children."
"She comes from a family with a strong tradition of matchmaking. I heard her mother-in-law was a notorious matchmaker who harmed many people and was eventually stabbed to death."
"Guan Xianshi was tricked into marrying into the family by her mother-in-law..."
...
No one seemed to remember to criticize Xu Xiping; this was all the empire built by the original owner and Zhou Gu.
However, Xu Xiping did not forget Guan Xianshi.
In her previous life, the original owner of the body did not agree to the matchmaking, but Guan Xianshi went ahead and did it anyway.
With the support of her husband, she began a secret affair with Director Zhang.
Director Zhang found it quite exciting.
I never thought I'd be able to have an affair at my age, and I didn't reject the relationship.
In the end, Director Zhang received psychological comfort.
Guan Xianshi received physical comfort.
Guan Xianshi's man satisfied his unknown fetish.
Guan Xianshi's son successfully transferred to a new job.
Even so, Guan Xianshi still didn't forget to play matchmaker for the original owner of this body...
She's probably afraid the original owner will steal her old man away...
However, he was persuaded by Old Man Zhang to try and recruit the original owner of this body to join them...
The original owner had no choice but to lead people to catch the adulterers in the act...
Xu Xiping planned to grant their wish as soon as possible.
They cast a love spell on Guan Xianshi, Guan Xianshi's man, and Director Zhang.
A person under the influence of a curse will involuntarily miss the other person.
The more you struggle in a relationship, the closer you become; it's definitely more exciting than in your past life.
Sigh, it's better for the three of them to live a good life than anything else.
In this way, Guan Xianshi wouldn't have the energy to go around arranging marriages, and wouldn't take the benefits and harm others.
...
After gossiping about Guan Xianshi, the neighbors started talking about Chen Jun and Liu Sheng, who had gotten married on the fifth floor.
Both of these families were second-time married women with children who were first-time married women.
I don't know where this matchmaker came from, she's so good at introducing people.
How come all the eligible single young people in their families can't find partners?
Chen Jun and Liu Sheng, who live on the fifth floor, are both quite famous.
Chen Jun's biological mother likes to sleep between the young couple.
His wife could only get Chen Jun to agree to a divorce by watching her mother-in-law sharpen a knife after she got off work.
As for Liu Sheng, he has good physical strength and health.
His wife couldn't stand having babies every year, so she insisted on going to the Women's Federation to get a divorce.
After their wives divorced, these two men promptly found new jobs and left in a great hurry.
However, Chen Jun and Liu Sheng felt that their salaries were high and were not worried about not finding new wives.
See, now someone has taken the initiative to ask them to get married.
It's still just the two sisters.
The younger sister, Bai Xue, said that she admired Brother Liu Sheng and was willing to give him more sons.
The older sister, Bai Shuang, was competing with her younger sister and insisted on marrying Chen Jun from next door. As for her mother-in-law, she could sleep in the middle if she wanted.
I don't know how, but somehow, the four of us got our marriage certificates, and even the wedding banquet was held on the same day.
The neighbors were cursing and swearing, having contributed money from two families but only getting to eat at one of the restaurants.
Xu Xiping said, "This whole thing is really strange."
Tongzi cleared his throat and told the truth.
"The twin sisters are from another world. Bai Xue is bound to a child-rearing system, and Liu Sheng from Huaicheng is the most suitable. Bai Shuang is bound to an anti-motherhood system, which requires her to pretend to be a pitiful little wife and then harm others."
"What I'm getting is... they'll have to marry someone else later, right?"
"Pingping got it right~ That's it~"
"The feng shui of our apartment building is really good..."
