Chapter One
Jiangcheng, inside an old family building.
"ah!"
Accompanied by a headache, Chen Yang struggled to open his eyes, looked around, and was stunned for a moment. Instead of lying on his luxurious big bed, there was a worn-out iron bed underneath him; the room no longer had gorgeous decorations, replaced by old-fashioned white ones from decades ago; an old tungsten light bulb hung on the ceiling, above the light bulb There is a blue lampshade.
Where is my big villa? Where are the antiques in my collection? At this time, voices came from the next room.
"Aunt Luo, 2,000 yuan, plus a color TV, a refrigerator, a tape recorder, and a Citizen watch. This is a sky-high gift from your family!!"
"Isn't it? With such a big gift, the parents also asked the girl to come and live with her after she became pregnant, saying that they wanted to take care of her. You said that when their family comes over, where will your Uncle Chen and I live?"
"Ah! Why do you still have such a request?"
Tang Lina?
marry?
When Chen Yang saw the calendar on the desk, he immediately raised his hand and gave himself a slap in the face. It hurt, it really hurt!
I was reborn and returned to before my marriage in 1993!
Tang Lina, his wife in his previous life, when thinking of this name, Chen Yang's pupils instantly burst into anger.
In 1993, two and a half months before her wedding, Tang Lina suddenly made a request that her parents would live in her own home to take care of Tang Lina after she became pregnant. My parents reluctantly agreed for the sake of their own marriage.
At that time, Chen Yang didn't take it seriously. Tang Lina became pregnant not long after the marriage. After finding out she was pregnant, Tang Lina's parents moved in and lived there for two years.
During this period, Chen Yang proposed several times to evict his family and let his parents move back. But my parents felt that this was not good, and they couldn't break up with the in-laws, so they kept putting it off like this.
In 1995, when his two-year-old daughter Chen Qian was playing in the hospital, she fell into a horse gourd without a manhole cover. When she received emergency treatment at the hospital, she learned that her daughter was not his biological child. Upon hearing the news, Chen Yang was instantly shocked.
If you use your own family's sky-high betrothal gift to marry his son a wife; if you rely on your own family's house to raise other people's children in my family, aren't you just a bastard? He's also the bastard in the wishing fountain!
"Whose bastard is this?" In the hospital, Chen Yang shouted to Tang Lina with red eyes.
Tang Lina didn't care whether she should live or die, but her mother collapsed on the ground. On one side was her "daughter" who needed first aid, and on the other side was her mother who needed rescue. Chen Yang was in a panic for a while.
When I got over my busy schedule, I looked for Tang Lina again, only to find that Tang Lina and her family had disappeared. At the same time, Chen Yang's parents' savings, 5,000 yuan, were also taken away.
The daughter was not saved, and the mother was not saved either. The affairs of Chen Yang's family spread in the family courtyard and became the laughing stock of everyone. Even the children in the family courtyard sang, "The sky in front of me is... The green sky..."
Half a year later, my father, who had always wanted to be strong, died in depression.
"Son, remember what Dad said," before his death, his father held Chen Yang's hand and said weakly, "Don't let Tang Lina go!"
Recalling this, Chen Yang got out of bed and sneered, "In this life, I want you Tang Lina to look good!"
I went to the ground and opened the door. In the big room next door, my father Chen Guohua was sitting on the sofa with a frown and smoking. My mother was sitting on the big bed next to her, sighing.
A woman about the same age as Chen Yang, with slightly chubby cheeks, big eyes, and a sunny smile on her lips, was looking at her.
"Brother!" Fang Ziwei saw Chen Yang coming over and greeted her with a smile.
Seeing his former confidante again, Chen Yang felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He gently stroked Ziwei's head, sat next to her, and looked at his father with a sad face, "Dad, Mom, Don’t worry, I’ll go talk to Tang Lina’s family later..."
"Is it your turn?" Chen Guohua rolled his eyes at Chen Yang, "Are you going to talk to others with a stick, or are you going to talk to them with a shovel?"
"Yangyang, listen to your mother," mother Luo Yun also advised Chen Yang, "You are laid off. Although your father is still in the electronics bureau, you should know what the situation is now."
"Our family is not what it used to be. Now that you are married and have a daughter-in-law, your dad and I will feel relieved. You know something, do you understand?"
Chen Yang was born in 1970. His father, Chen Guohua, was the director of the supply and marketing department of Jiangcheng Electronics Bureau. In that era when it was difficult to buy TV sets and tape recorders, his father was responsible for the distribution of household appliances in the city and was the most prosperous figure in Jiangcheng. , there is an endless stream of people coming to visit every day.
The family's sense of superiority, coupled with Chen Yang's naughty nature since childhood, made him the king of children in his family's courtyard.
When I was in high school, with the economic reform and development, there was no need to ask for help to buy home appliances, and the Chen family lost its former glory.
After graduating from high school, Chen Yang went to work in his father's workplace. After working for less than two years, Chen Yang was laid off.
At that time, it was not called laid off. In some places, it was called furlough, while in other places it was called unemployment within the factory, etc. Although the names were different, the central idea was the same. If the factory was not working, there would naturally be no money. If there was no money, layoffs would be necessary!
And in the year when I was laid off, my parents started to get married. Now it seems that at that time, my parents were afraid that they would not be able to find a wife, so they agreed to the Tang family's unreasonable conditions and allowed them to get married as soon as possible.
Looking at his parents who were worried about his marriage, Chen Yang felt mixed emotions. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have ruined a good family.
Thinking of this, Chen Yang calmed down and looked at his mother guiltily, "Mom, don't worry, Tang Lina and I are getting married. Can we mess around? I'm going with Ziwei and we won't mess around."
"Ziwei, come with me to Tang Lina's house later!"
"Ah? Ah!" Fang Ziwei was stunned for a moment, then nodded to Chen Yang's mother, "Aunt Luo, don't worry, Tang Lina and I are best friends, and we can still help talk!"
Chen Yang and Fang Ziwei lived in the front and back floors. They were one year older than Fang Ziwei. They had played together since childhood. When Fang Ziwei's family was busy, she would eat and sleep at Chen Yang's house. The two children were like brothers and sisters.
Tang Lina is Fang Ziwei's high school classmate, and the two have a very good relationship. The three of them often got together because of Fang Ziwei. After going back and forth, Chen Yang fell in love with Tang Lina.
Chen Yang took great pains to pursue Tang Lina. In today's terms, it was like a dog licking. After a year of long-distance running, Tang Lina was finally caught up and the relationship was confirmed, which triggered all the subsequent events.
The mother hesitated for a moment, then nodded, looked at Chen Yang and said, "Yangyang, go and tell people properly."
Say it nicely? I'll talk to him nicely!
Chen Yang turned his head and looked at Fang Ziwei, already having a plan in mind.
