Chapter 284 The Pretty Widow 2
Chapter 284 The Pretty Widow 2
On a hot afternoon, when the original owner went to return the mended clothes, he was stopped in an alley.
There was a dead end behind her. No matter how she cried for help, it was of no use. Instead, the smiles on the faces of those beasts became even bigger.
After seeing the situation clearly, the original owner fell into despair.
Fortunately, at this moment a tall man descended from the sky, knocked the gangsters to the ground one by one, and rescued her.
It was at this time that the male and female protagonists, who were returning home to visit their relatives, happened to pass by and called the police for her. The female protagonist also considerately put a coat on her.
This is her only intersection with the male and female protagonists. It is this intersection that makes her have a name in this novel and makes her a passerby who can embody the protagonist's qualities of truth, goodness and beauty.
As for the tall man who saved her from the fire and water, he was a worker in a steel plant named Liu Gangchuan.
This person also became the original owner's husband five days later. Yes, Chu Yuan's body in this world is married.
But it was a marriage in name only.
Liu Gangchuan also has an older brother named Liu Gangshan, and they both used to work in a steel plant.
But in an accident at a steel mill, Liu Gangshan unfortunately died, and Liu Gangchuan was seriously injured and lost his ability to have children.
Of course, this matter was not spread, and the only people who knew about it were the doctors in the hospital, Liu Gangchuan himself and the leaders of the steel plant.
After Liu Gangchuan's brother passed away, his sister-in-law returned to her parents' home and left the two children to Liu Gangchuan to take care of.
How could a grown man like him take care of a child? Besides, he has to go to work and has no free time during the day.
Just when he was planning to send the child to his parents' home in the countryside, he heard a woman's cry for help not far away. This woman was the original owner.
The two met because of this. Liu Gangchuan needed someone to help him take care of his children, and the original owner needed to seek shelter. The two hit it off and registered for marriage immediately.
Before getting married, the two agreed that it was only a marriage in name only, and Liu Gangchuan also told the original owner that he was infertile.
The original owner didn't care about these things at all. She just wanted to live a good life, and Liu Gangchuan was her best choice at the moment.
She originally thought that she was just going to be a nanny in the name of marriage, but she didn't expect Liu Gangchuan to treat her very well.
Every month's salary would be handed over to her in full, and all matters in the family were left to her to decide, as if she were the real mistress of the family.
Moreover, the two children were very obedient. The original owner's life was much better than before, so she was very grateful to this nominal husband.
But the suffering did not end there. Two years later, Liu Gangchuan had another accident, and this time it was much more serious than the previous one.
Due to improper operation by a new worker, Liu Gangchuan was sucked into the running machine and his body was never found.
After hearing the news, the original owner fainted on the ground and was sent to the hospital by the steel plant leader who came to report the news.
Her life can be said to be full of misfortunes. She experienced too much hardship. She finally lived a good life, but in the blink of an eye she fell into even greater misery.
She couldn't hold on any longer. After fainting this time, the original owner lost the will to live and lay on the hospital bed never to wake up again.
Chu Yuan sighed helplessly: "So, I am a widow now?"
Xiao Dao was a little afraid to face her, and his voice sounded muffled: "In theory, that's the case."
"You brought two more burdens with you?"
Xiaodao's voice became less confident: "It seems so."
Liu Gangchuan has two nephews. The older one is Liu Xiangsong, who is 5 years old this year, and the younger one is Liu Xiangbai, who is 2 years old this year.
Chu Yuan thought to herself, this system is becoming less and less reliable. What kind of identity has been assigned to her?
Xiaodao noticed the host's dissatisfaction and weakly cheered her up: "Host, please don't be discouraged. There are still good things in this world. At least you can inherit a large inheritance left by the original owner's husband."
Chu Yuan rolled his eyes: "Do you think I look like someone who is short of money?"
Xiaodao didn't dare to speak anymore and could only try his best to reduce his presence.
Although Chu Yuan was dissatisfied, he had already entered someone's body and could not regret it. He could only think of things that would make himself happy.
Although the title of widow is a bit unpleasant, it is better than the man still being alive and pretending to be the original owner everywhere.
There is no way she can be a well-behaved housewife.
Besides, this inheritance should not be wasted.
Chu Yuan counted the family's savings carefully and found that it was quite a lot.
When Liu Gangchuan's brother passed away, the factory paid him a 2000 yuan pension and 800 yuan from selling his job, a total of 2800 yuan. Liu Gangchuan's sister-in-law took 200 yuan and left the rest to the children.
Liu Gangchuan was injured and unable to have children, so the factory paid him 600 yuan in compensation. Plus, he was a senior worker at the steel plant, earning 47.5 yuan a month, which was more than they could spend in a month for their two adults and two children. The original owner would save part of his salary every time he got it, and over the years he had saved about three or four hundred yuan.
This time Liu Gangchuan died accidentally, and the compensation paid by the factory will only be more, not less. After all, her cheap husband's body was minced into mud, so the compensation will not be less than 2000 yuan.
And his work can also be sold for a fortune.
As for why Chu Yuan didn't take over this job, after all, she had studied mechanics in order to find a job after traveling to that era.
That's of course because before she had this idea, she didn't know that working in a steel plant was so dangerous.
It's only been two years and two strong laborers of the Liu family have lost their lives because of this. How could she dare to do that?
Moreover, the main reason she wanted to find a job in the first place was because she didn't want to go to the countryside, but now she is not even considered a candidate for going to the countryside.
Wouldn't it be better for her to stay at home instead? Anyway, whether she has the inheritance or not, she is not short of money.
After Chu Yuan sorted out his thoughts, he remembered the most important question at the moment: "What was the original owner's wish?"
Xiao Dao became excited at this time: "The original owner's wish is very simple, she just wants to raise the two children to repay Liu Gangchuan for taking care of her for the past two years, and then live happily for the rest of her life."
Chu Yuan thought about it and felt that this wish was indeed very simple for her. Apart from taking care of the child, she didn’t have to worry about anything else.
Besides, it is not necessary for her to see the child in person. She already has a puppet. This world can just give her the role of a distant relative.
