Jiang Liu who was lying on the cart slowly absorbed the memory left by the original body as well as his mission in this world.
Originally as the eldest son of the family, the original body should be one of the elders in the family. However, the original luck was not good. When he was born, his mother was having difficulty to produce, and he was almost died during the process. After he was born, he was always stay at home. During that time, his grandmother still alive, therefore he had been under her care. Due to that, the feeling between the son and mother was a little thinner. Later, the old lady pa.s.sed away. As for his mother, she finally blessed with a pair of dragon and phoenix to take care off. As for the son cared by this most hated mother-in-law, naturally, you can't talk about closeness.
At the beginning, the father of the original body, Jiang Chuangen, still attached great importance on this eldest son. But he can't win over the coercions of the person next to his pillow. After a long time, Jiang Chuangen felt that the family newborns came with great blessings. His new child are more promising than this eldest son, bringing him more glory. His eldest son has not been able to give him a grandson for ten years, but the second son, Jiang Juan had given him two grandchildren. In fact, Jiang Chuangen did not dare to hope that this eldest son will ever give him an heir.
In the life of the original, most of the time he was working like an ox for the family. He was too eager for the love and attention from his parents. He also eager to have a child from his own blood. Unfortunately he could not wait and ended up dead. Therefore, his regret was related to these two wishes.
Jiang Liu, like a bystander, read the life of the original. He did not only has no sympathy, but also wants to send the original body some words – You deserve it!
Compared to his childhood situation, the situation of the original body was simply not difficult at all. Isn't it simply a matter of being stuck with bloodsucker? He had hundred ways to smash those stinky faces. But this fool was not only stupid. Due to this unquestioning filial piety he also forced his own wife to follow him with his selfless dedication.
At the end of the day, the bamboo baskets were filled with water, and they were so tired that they only had a few drops of crocodile tears. Why bother at all?
"What is the mission?"
Jiang Liu thought, since the system was bound to him, he was also allowed to come to the body of the original body. It was estimated that he needed to punch the parents, kicked the sucker of a younger siblings out, and then walked away with that silly wife of his.
Seeing that the system gave him a little wife for this old bachelor, he will reluctantly help him complete the tasks.
"The current task requires you to get Jiang Chuangen, Miao Caifeng, Xu Xiuxiu and other immediate family members' full value of good will. With mission success, there will be a reward points of 1000. If the mission success rate less than 2/3, you will be obliterated."
After feeling that the interns.h.i.+p host had received the memory of the original body, System 001 appeared in Jiang Liu's consciousness s.p.a.ce and announced the tasks of the current world.
"f.u.c.k!"
Jiang Liu felt that he had auditory hallucinations. What kind of nonsense did this powder system been uttering about? It even asked him to get the good will of Xu Xiuxiu? After all, for a good girl to be married into the house, and yet did not enjoy the blessing but was shackled for a lifetime. For this kind of sin, even a lifetime will not be enough to compensate her.
What can Jiang Chuanggen and Miao Caifeng rely on? Jiang Chuanggen was his most hated irresponsible elder. In his opinion, these two people was the one who took the money from the original body and never did anything back. If any, at most, was that they had raise the original body, but even then, the original body worked like a horse for the family and even turning them into a cow is not enough to make up for this.
And yet the system wanted him to go and please these two people in order to get their good feelings to a full value? How cheap.
"The host swore at the system and used propagative verbs to attack the system in its consciousness, causing mental damage to the system and violating the Righteous father's guidelines. This is the first verbal warning. After three warnings, the punishment of the electric shock will be carried out."
001 was the first system created by the Lord G.o.d. At present, many programs were still being repaired and improved. It has no human emotions. Many instructions are one-on-one and thus, the system will act according to the rules of the program.
"Ha ha ha, isn't it just to please those two people? This is not difficult at all. I understand, I understand."
Jiang Liu was a person who has been immersed in the bottom of society for many years. He knows how to accept things even when it goes against his wish. It seemed that the system was not flexible at all. Even going as far as to threaten him with electric shock. So for the time being, he should be honest and just do it.
"The Principles of the Righteous Father's System – Standing in the heart of the universe to spread the love. Whether they are good or bad, to influence them is the ultimate goal of the host."
001 mechanically propagated the instructions.
"I am going to ask you a question. As long as the final result is successful then it is not important whether Jiang Chuangen and Miao Caifeng are extremely disgusted with me in the process?"
In Jiang Liu's mind, he had decided not to use the straight road. Ah, he was not a man who is kind, and he is most capable of going the wrong way. Since the system was so rigid, he need to know his advantages. He need to study and find the loopholes that can be manipulated.
"The task deadline is the moment when the host leaves the current world."
The round ball floated up and down as the light blinked away. It seemed to be thinking. After a while, 001 gives a reply with a mechanical voice.
It seemed that Jiang Liu had been guessing correctly. The system only looked at the result. As long as the goal is completed at the moment of physical death then he will be consider successful.
"Right, what are the use of those points you mentioned about?"
Jiang Liu remembered that when the system announced the task, it seemed to have mentioned something about reward points. As whether the task will be successful or not, Jiang Liu was not very concerned about it. Anyway, he already died once, and now he is still alive. It is just another day that he is lucky enough to steal. To be able to live another day is to take advantage of G.o.d's will. If you die, you just can't take advantage of it. There was nothing to worry about.
"When the score reaches 1000, the system mall will open. Host can use the points to buy any goods in the system mall."
After explaining that point. 001 disappeared from Jiang Liu sight without warning. At that time, his ear heard a familiar voice.
"The hospital is here, Jiang's daughter in law, you and Fengshou carried Jiang Liu down. I will go to the doctor first."
It seemed that he has arrived the hospital. Jiang Liu temporarily put the thought on the point aside as he continued to pretend to be a patient.
Perhaps it took a lot of energy to absorb the memory of the original body. After he was moved from the ox cart, Jiang Liu actually fell asleep. Even when the doctor behind him helped him to suture the wound, it did not even wake him up.
When he completely awake, the big Guan and Guan Fengshou had already drove back in the oxcart, leaving only Xu Xiuxiu alone in the hospital to take care Jiang Liu.
The doctor told her that they have to wait at the hospital for three to four days to see if there were any sequelae in the brain. Since Big Guan was the team leader, therefore he had lots of work left in the team and there was no way to arrange for someone to wait on Jiang Liu. Naturally, it was impossible for him to personally stay at the hospital. Therefore he left Xu Xiuxiu to wait with her husband with enough food stamp for them to eat and drink before heading back with his son.
"You woke up."
Xu Xiuxiu's hand was placed on the edge of the bed, head down while sitting on the chair. Her nerves seemed to be tight. As soon as she saw Jiang Liu little movement and she opened her eyes and stood up as she started to look at him nervously.
"Why don't you go to the bed and lie down."
Because he had no water for quite a long time, Jiang Liu's voice appeared hoa.r.s.e. When he finished speaking, he licked his lips with his tongue, feeling the dryness of his cracked lips.
"Since I came here urgently, I didn't bring a set of clean clothes. How could I lie on the bed that they have arranged so cleanly? No matter how hard it is, I will not bring trouble to other people."
Xu Xiuxiu was an observant woman. Seeing that Jiang Liu was thirsty, she quickly poured water into the cup that she had received from the nurse station, and then hold Jiang Liu's head in one hand while helping him drinking the water in the gla.s.s.
At this time, he was inside a standard quadruple room. The whole room was tidy and the quilt was stacked like a tofu block. Jiang Liu noticed that he was the only patient in this room, and the other three beds were empty. Xu Xiuxiu can sleep in any of the bed for a while, but he didn't expect that the other person to sleep for half a night next to his bed while squatting just because of the fear of smudging other people's quilts.
"Wait, you know where we are?"
After feeding him the water, Xu Xiuxiu suddenly realized that there was a problem. According to Jiang Liu's condition, he was always unconscious. He shouldn't know where he was. But when he woke up the first sentence he asked was why she did not sleep on the bed and not where he currently at.
"I was in and out, but it felt very strange, there buzz around me, so I could hear clearly, including the discussion the captain and my parents had over sending me to the hospital."
Jiang Liu revealed a bitter smile, then looked at Xu Xiuxiu with a fixed look.
"Xiu 'er, thank you. It is me, Jiang Liu, who can't help you."
At this moment, his expression fully revealed the sadness and sorrow of a man that was given up by his most trusted parents. At the same time, it also brought a bit of grat.i.tude and guilt to his wife.
Seeing such Jiang Liu, Xu Xiuxiu could not helped but stunned.
She really did not expect that Jiang Liu to actually heard it. What's more, after this incident, the other party seemed to have a gap with the in-laws, no longer unconditionally trusting the in-laws like before, and feel that any behavior of the in-laws was for their sake.
Whether she can looked forward to it, she hoped that after the rehabilitation, his husband will change and no longer acted foolishly for the family.
"I am thankful, after all you are my man."
Xu Xiuxiu had been disappointed far too many times. This was not the first time her in-law hurting their son with their actions and words. Yet, when the other side said few good words, her man would then turned stupid once again.
From the very beginning, she thought that she had seen the dawn, but her hope was obliterated again and again, hence she no longer held any expectations for him.
However, this time, things seemed more serious than any other time, but what about it? They were her man's parents. This relations.h.i.+p will always going on.
"If you don't want to sleep on that bed, then you should squeeze in with me."
Jiang Liu also knew the stupid things that the original body did. Now he said that he would be nice to her, Xu Xiuxiu may not believe him. But the days are long, even if the other side are not going to believe it for now, but one day, he will prove it.
"Nothing, I am still good."
Xu Xiuxiu shook his head. The hospital bed was not wide. The two people lying down will be a little tight. Jiang Liu was still a patient. She was afraid of accidentally touching his wounds.
"We will be here for a few days, if you have a bad rest, how can you take care of the patient?"
This excuse by Jiang Liu made Xu Xiuxiu unable to refuse. Now that it's late at night, it should be a few hours before dawn. Thinking that she finally agreed.
——
There was a woman lying next to him, but for Jiang Liu, it was his first time.
The relations.h.i.+p between men and women at the construction site was chaotic. Most of them are half-way couples who are either lonely or widowed. Some ma.s.sage shops that were popular among the migrant workers on the construction site also had many cheap ladies.
At that time, there was no shortage of workers who wanted to find a lady for Jiang Liu to solve his problem, but they were all rejected by him.
In his opinion, as long as it was not done with his own woman, it was quite boring. After all, he was still a young man with ample yang. He has seen the small yellow film and knew that this activity was actually tiring. Going far as to spend special expenses to do such physical activities, where at the end the lady will still enjoy it and yet he has to give the lady money. He rather not do it.
The savvy Jiang Liu regards the entertainment activities of the men in this site as a loss-making business, but at this time he has a well-behaved wife, so he no longer thought so.
Of course, it is still awkward for him to act such action. Now, the injury on the head had solved one of his problem. When he was hurt, his understanding on Xu Xiuxiu has deepened. At that time, everything will seems to be like a matter of course.
Xu Xiuxiu did not know his thoughts at this time. In her head, she tried as much as possible to narrow down the area of bed that she occupied.
But she was too tired, and after laying down on the soft and clean bed, she slept heavily.
