Chapter 1 Why is the family so poor?
Yu Mancang woke up in a noisy noise, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a muddy ceiling.
The ceiling cracked, and a black beetle slowly slipped into the crack.
Dream?
He only remembered that he didn't listen to the doctor's advice before he fell asleep, and he poured a whole bottle of wine with an old photo of his daughter-in-law.
He is also the richest man in a province, and if his family is not splendid, it must be clean, and this is not the ceiling of his family.
Still dreaming.
Otherwise, how could he feel that the furnishings of this dilapidated house were strange and familiar, especially like the old country house he lived in forty years ago?
At this time, a woman's voice came from outside the window.
"Well, mother, I'm going to pick wild vegetables and come back to cook vegetable porridge for you."
Yu Mancang was speechless in shock...... Isn't this the voice of his daughter-in-law, Lu Zhilan?
He jumped out of bed, took three steps and rushed to the door.
I saw that Lu Zhilan was wearing patches of old clothes, and she was carrying a half-person-high bamboo basket on her back.
Seeing the figure that he was thinking about day and night, Yu Mancang's tears almost burst out of his eyes, and he had too many words in his heart to say to her.
Lu Zhilan was originally a young man in the countryside, born beautiful and gorgeous, because Yu Mancang saved her from the second-rate son in the village, and the two achieved marriage.
It's just that Yu Mancang was a tendon when he was young, and he didn't know anything except going to the sea to catch fish, even if his family was so poor that he couldn't open the pot, he looked down on those businessmen who took advantage of the reform and opening up to make a fortune.
Lu Zhilan is an ambitious woman who wants to take the college entrance examination and wants to return to the city, but Yu Mancang thought that she was going to abandon her husband and children, and resolutely refused to allow it.
She could only give up her ideals and stay in this small fishing village with him, even if she slept in the open air, she never left him.
Later, Yu Mancang finally opened his mind, took his family to the city to beg for a living, he picked up his ancestors' cooking skills, sold a box lunch, and when he earned the first pot of gold, he happily went home to report the good news, but Lu Zhilan fainted on the ground because of overwork, Rao is Yu Mancang smashed the pot and sold iron to treat her, and Lu Zhilan still died early.
When she left, she was not yet twenty-five years old.
This incident became a lifelong pain for Yu Mancang, he did not remarry in his previous life, and prayed countless times that God would give him another chance.
"Zhilan, don't go!" Yu Mancang stumbled after him and grabbed Lu Zhilan's hand.
Lu Zhilan turned her head and said with a gloomy look: "I'm not leaving, what will the family eat, will they starve to death?" After a month of storms, you can't sail to the sea, and you don't even have a single entry at home, you see, what kind of starvation has the children become? ”
Yu Mancang followed her line of sight, and only then did he find his son Yu Haiyang.
Yu Haiyang was two or three years old, with no pants and only a bare buttocks, his fingers were still black, and he was so hungry that he bit his hands.
If it's a dream, how can it be so real?
Yu Mancang stared at his son with a headache.
He finally realized that he was not dreaming, but being reborn!
God heard his prayers and granted his wish!
"There is only one bag of rice left at home, don't move, wait for me to come back and cook, I thought about exchanging that bag of rice for some coarse grains, but the life of any family in the village is not easy, all counting on coarse grains to fill their stomachs, no one will exchange with me, I will try my luck at the county supply and marketing cooperatives in the afternoon."
After speaking, Lu Zhilan sighed.
She said a long time ago that it was not possible to rely on the sky to eat in such a small fishing village, and even the second-rate people who wanted to bully her at the beginning went to the city to set up stalls to make money.
But it was useless to say this to Yu Mancang, he wouldn't listen to it, Lu Zhilan withdrew his hand indifferently, and walked away with a deep foot and a shallow foot.
She was so thin that she seemed to fall down when the wind blew, and she felt distressed when she saw Mancang.
Why is the family so poor?
Isn't it because he's useless as a master?
He couldn't tell what day it was, but judging by his son's age, it was about seven or nine years.
"Seventy-nine years have been reform and opening up, am I finally reborn once, or can I only repeat the mistakes of the past, watching my wife and children starve and cold?"
Yu Mancang gritted his teeth and slapped himself hard.
"Yu Mancang, Yu Mancang, you were the richest man in a province in your last life, if you are reborn once and let your wife and children starve, you will live in vain in both lives!"
