The Journey Of The Peasant Mother-in-Law - Chapter 10

Zhou Shuren choked on non-stop coughing, just because he has a guilty conscience, can he not be guilty?

He had been pondering who was with him in ancient times. As he lay down, he kept thinking, with a clear mind, the biggest possibility was the girl who kindly helped him.

But the reality of facing the girl with an increasingly guilty conscience was something different. This person kindly help him, but instead, he cheated on the girl, and he really owed the girl her life.

When Zhulan saw Zhou Shuren’s reaction, she was not in a hurry.

Zhou Shuren raised his head in a sigh. He didn’t dare to look at her in the morning, but now he looked at his original wife carefully. Her face was pale, and her hair was a little yellow. His eyes met her eyes. Because her soul had changed, her eyes had become brighter. Now, the sly gaze made him smile.

Knowing that she was being looked at, Zhulan kept her composure, raised her eyebrows and asked, “What are you laughing at?”

Zhou Shuren smiled, “You are fine.”

Zhulan, “…”

Zhou Shuren saw Zhulan’s sullen face, and quickly changed the subject, “You’re right, I do owe you your life.”

Zhulan gritted her teeth, “Do you know how hard it is for me to accept this situation? Yesterday, I was 26 years old with no boyfriend, no marriage, a house and savings, and a happy life. Now I am ten years older, with a run-down body. I still need to take care of the whole family! The point is, I don’t know how to farm, and I have never lived in the countryside. So my eyes are dark.”

Zhou Shuren touched the quilt uncomfortably. He didn’t know how to farm. Even if he had the memory of the original body, he was not the original body after all.

Zhulan understood at a glance, come on, they are all in the same place, she pursed her lips and thought bitterly, she can’t be divorced, so the two of them were tied together. She squinted her eyes, “What you owe me is what you owe me. You have to be responsible for me for your whole life and you can’t ever divorce me.”

Zhou Shuren was stunned. When he didn’t know that his wife has been replaced, he did consider the possibility of divorce. He felt awkward, but he knew it was unrealistic. It was like drinking water in ancient times and not in modern times. Besides, he was a member of the family. Lord, the wife did not make a mistake, and his conscience did not allow the divorce.

Now that he knew that his original wife has changed, he was happy, at least she was not someone who was familiar with the original body. So, with his changes, he won’t be regarded as a monster. After all, both of them came from modern times. In the end, he owed a life, invisible relationships were the most intimate.

Moreover, two people were better than one person in a strange environment. Their pair of husband and wife could help each other hide their secrets, they could support each other knowingly, and they can discuss things individually, which was much better than fighting alone.

Zhou Shuren thought about it a lot, and his tone became a lot lighter, “This is natural.”

Zhulan snorted, “You are also not allowed to take concubines either.”

Since he was in ancient times, he may want to live the dream life of having a wife and concubines. She was not that open-minded. Since she was trapped by her original body, she should be honest with him!

Zhou Shuren was speechless. He really didn’t think about taking concubines, no, he really didn’t think about women, “Don’t worry, I don’t have that kind of mind.”

Zhulan hurriedly said, “Don’t hit me too.”

Zhou Shuren, “…En.”

Zhulan wasn’t stupid either, she knew that what she says can’t be taken seriously, she just wanted to make clear that she had a bottom line.

Zhulan kept their voices low, afraid of being overheard, “Now we are two grasshoppers tied on the same string, partners for the rest of our lives. It’s better to introduce each other, you go first.”

Zhou Shuren coughed slightly and then said with a sigh of relief: “My name is Zhou Shuren with the same name as my original body. I am 27 years old. I grew up in an orphanage. I have a double PhD in Chinese and archaeology. I participated in archaeological excavations a few years ago. I was overworked and sick. I really can’t bear it. I wanted to go to the hospital. And you know the rest.”
