Quick Transmigration: The Mad Host's Smile Reveals Unpredictable Fate

Chapter 156 The Old Lady with Misunderstandings Argues with Heaven, Earth, and Even the Air (1)

"A girl only needs to be literate. What's the use of reading so many books? She'll still get married eventually!"

"If I get into university, I'll bring honor to my family just the same way..."

"Pah! When she gets married, she'll take her husband's surname. Whose family will she be honored with? Whose ancestors will she be?"

"Dad, but I want to go to school..."

"I'm the boss in this house. Starting tomorrow, you're not allowed to go to school anymore. You're coming with me to work in the fields!"

Su Dingding opened her eyes and found herself sitting on a warm kang (heated brick bed).

She was still holding a pipe in her hand, the tobacco still smoking.

An argument is taking place in the next room.

This means that the adults in the family don't want the child to go to school, and the child doesn't want to.

After tapping his pipe, Su Dingding got off the kang (a heated brick bed).

[Host, perhaps you should absorb the original owner's memories first before proceeding.]

The original owner of this body, Li Guihua, is sixty-two years old at this time.

The old lady gave birth to four daughters and five sons in her lifetime, but only one daughter and three sons survived.

When she was young, her husband treated her badly, and she was often beaten.

When she was forty-two, her husband fell ill and died a few months later.

Her children have all grown up, started their own families, and are quite filial to her.

At first, Li Guihua helped her children take care of their children, staying at whichever family needed her.

Later, when her grandchildren grew up, she returned to her old house in the countryside.

Because I suffered so much when I was young, my health isn't very good now that I'm older. I'm always having aches and pains here and there, and I'm frequently hospitalized.

Her children felt sorry for her and didn't want her to live alone anymore.

So Li Guihua stayed at her three sons' homes in rotation, for four months at each home.

Children are full of filial piety, but every family has its own troubles and worries.

The eldest son, Wan Youcai, and his wife, Wang Yuping, are both honest people and filial to her, but they have a strong preference for sons over daughters.

Li Guihua's eldest granddaughter, Wan Yan, was forced to leave school before finishing elementary school and was compelled to return home to help with household chores.

When Wan Yan came to the old lady crying, the old lady was weak all her life. She listened to her parents when she was young, her husband when she got married, and her children when she got old. No one could stand up for her.

Wan Yan changed her personality after that; she stopped smiling and became distant from Li Guihua.

She went out to work with other villagers when she was fifteen, and later, following her family's arrangement, she married a man from a neighboring village when she was eighteen. She became a "brother-obsessed woman" and was not happy.

She didn't complain, but Li Guihua felt guilty for the rest of her life for not being able to support her.

The second son, Wan Youmin, is relatively wealthy and lives in the county town, but his wife, Zhao Xiaoling, is unreasonable.

She looked down on her mother-in-law, who came from the countryside, finding her dirty, deaf, and sickly.

Li Guihua was always very careful when she visited Wan Youmin's home. She did all the housework and dared not complain of being tired or feeling unwell, for fear that her second son and his wife would quarrel.

Wan Youmin's son, Wan Haoyu, is clearly Li Guihua's grandson, but she doesn't dare touch him because if Zhao Xiaoling sees him, she'll have to disinfect the child's entire body.

Not only that, they also openly and secretly cursed Li Guihua.

If Wan Youmin finds out, he will argue with her and even threaten to divorce her.

Therefore, Li Guihua was most afraid of going to their house, and felt very uncomfortable.

The third son, Wan Youguo, and his wife are great in every way, except they don't have children.

They had been married for several years, and the whole family was worried. Later, they found out that the problem was with their third daughter-in-law, Bai Cuiying.

Wan Youguo didn't want to get a divorce because of this, but his family persuaded him otherwise.

Li Guihua also made a mistake, listening to her eldest daughter Wan Lijuan and threatening Wan Youguo with her own life.

Having no other choice, Wan Youguo divorced Bai Cuiying.

He got divorced, but Wan Youguo never remarried and lived a lonely life.

Finally, there's the eldest daughter, Wan Lijuan.

Because she is the eldest child in her family, lives in the city, and her husband's family is relatively wealthy, she has to worry about everything concerning her three younger brothers' families.

Her conservative thinking and stubborn temper meant she wouldn't allow anyone to disobey her.

She contributed money and effort to her younger brothers' weddings and house purchases, so she was arrogant and superior to others.

Even Li Guihua, as a mother, could only nod and obey in front of her, letting her do as she pleased.

But later, her husband cheated on her and they divorced. She wasn't as wealthy anymore, and she gradually lost her authority at home.

Li Guihua's life was a typical portrayal of the lives of ordinary women in that era; nothing particularly special.

But she was indeed wronged and died because she stole a date.

At her 80th birthday dinner, the whole family was busily preparing to take a family photo.

Because of her diabetes, Li Guihua's children told her to watch her diet. There was plenty of food on the table, but she could eat very little.

Although Li Guihua was old, she still had a sweet tooth, so she secretly took a date and put it in her mouth, and then choked.

Chaos broke out at the birthday banquet, but no one expected that she had choked. Everyone thought it was just an old person suffering from some kind of illness.

That's how time was wasted, and... he choked to death.

Because his lifespan hasn't reached its end yet, his soul has been temporarily sent here.

"Host, the old lady's wish is to live again. She wants to make up for her regrets and fulfill a wish along the way," Gangzi said.

"What regrets? And what wishes do you have?" Su Dingding asked.

[Hehe,] Gangzi couldn't help but laugh. [Host, six regrets and one wish, take a look for yourself.]

Su Dingding glanced at her; the old lady was eighty years old, but her thinking was still quite... childish.

He's such a child at heart, quite amusing.

The first thing I did was to ensure my granddaughter, Wan Yan, completed her studies.

Su Dingding reached out and tucked her stray hair behind her ear before beginning her performance.

She walked with her hands behind her back and her pipe in hand to her eldest son, Wan Youcai's, house.

Wan Yan clung to her schoolbag tightly, refusing to let go, while Wan Youcai tried to snatch it from her.

Su Dingding raised his pipe and slapped Wang Wanyoucai's hand.

Why are you snatching the child's backpack?

“Mother, Yan’er is already twelve. I want her to go to work in the fields tomorrow…” Wan Youcai explained.

Su Dingding smoked a few more pipes at Wan Youcai and cursed, "You still want to go to school for the child? How can you be so shameless!"

"Mother, why should I go to school? I said Yan'er is old enough to work in the fields!" Wan Youcai raised his voice.

"Do you want to kill two geese for Chinese New Year this year?" Su Dingding deliberately interrupted, glaring at Wan Youcai and saying, "I can't chew bones with these teeth, so I might as well sell the geese and buy books for the kids!"

"Grandma..." Wan Yan burst into tears, throwing herself into Su Dingding's arms, sobbing, "My dad won't let me go to school anymore..."

"What? Your dad dreamed about the King of Hell?" Su Dingding patted Wan Yan's back and said with a sigh, "What a good child, afraid that your dad will be taken away by the King of Hell? Don't worry, with Grandma here, you won't get a turn in line for your dad. This child has been filial since she was little..."

"Mother, why are you getting harder and harder to hear?" Wan Youcai was sweating with anxiety. He covered Su Dingding's ear with his hand and shouted, "I mean, Yan'er is not allowed to go to school anymore. She has to go to work in the fields!"

"Clap clap clap!"

Su Dingding slapped Wan Youcai three times, making his arm swollen.

"What are you yelling for? You're deafening me!"
