Chapter 5: Special forces came to our door! Early in the morning, Su Chen was sitting in a taxi. His memory was getting closer and closer to home, and all kinds of things about his original self and his stepmother emerged in Su Chen's mind. The original body's biological mother died in a car accident when he was 8 years old. When he was in middle school, his father remarried and married his stepmother Xiao Sumei. However, the original body did not like his stepmother and even had some resistance to her. This resistance became even stronger after his father died of an accidental illness when he was in the second grade of junior high school! Stepmother Xiao Sumei’s first husband also died of illness. When the original owner was young, he thought she was a jinx who killed his father. After both his biological parents passed away, the original body was inevitably ridiculed by his classmates as a child without relatives, so he began to rebel, smoking, skipping classes, and fighting with others. Xiao Sumei worried about him a lot for this. Just after graduating from the third year of junior high school, Su Chen had a fight with his stepmother Xiao Sumei's biological son Wang Zhen. In a fit of anger, he dropped out of high school and quietly ran to a martial arts school in the provincial capital, where he worked to earn tuition while practicing martial arts. After three years in martial arts school, Su Chen had planned to come back to visit his father on his father's death anniversary, but he had a conflict with someone on the way and was locked up for fighting. If it weren't for his stepmother running around and paying money to get the other party to drop the case, Su Chen would probably have been held criminally responsible for suspected intentional injury. After coming out of the police station, his stepmother said a few words to him. Unexpectedly, the original body had a big quarrel with his stepmother and asked her: "Did I ask you to control me?" Then he used the few thousand dollars he had to travel to Yunhai Province. "Sigh...!" In the taxi, Su Chen sighed as he recalled his original self. how to say?
The original body's behavior is understandable, but it's also really fucking bastard-like. What embarrasses him is how he should face his stepmother when he returns? With mixed emotions, Su Chen soon arrived at a small border town in Liaodong. This was his hometown, called Shiqiao Town. After getting off the bus at a resettlement community and paying the fare, Su Chen followed his memory and walked into the old and dilapidated corridor. The elevator creaked. Standing at the door, Su Chen stopped and hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and still mustered up the courage to knock on the door. The door was pushed open with a creaky sound. The middle-aged woman Xiao Sumei was stunned, "Xiaochen?!!!" Su Chen gritted his teeth and said awkwardly: "Auntie..." "You..." Xiao Sumei instinctively wanted to scold Su Chen for not being careful these past few days, but when the words came to her lips, she was worried that the mother and son would quarrel again, so she sighed, "Come in!" Entering this resettlement building of less than 60 square meters and sitting down on the narrow sofa in the living room, Su Chen felt a little at a loss for a moment. Xiao Sumei poured him a glass of water and asked, "Have you eaten?" "No..." Su Chen replied awkwardly. Xiao Sumei stopped talking, as if she was angry, but turned and walked into the kitchen to make egg custard for Su Chen. She remembered that Su Chen loved it very much. Su Chen really couldn't sit still on the sofa. Without saying a word, he stood up and walked to the kitchen door, but at this moment his pupils shrank! On the table were leftovers from who knows how many meals. They were very vegetarian, with not even a hint of meat. Next to them was a pile of pickles and a half-eaten bowl of porridge. Su Chen felt as if a string in his heart was touched, and his nose felt sour. Soon, Xiao Sumei turned off the fire, put the egg custard on the table, and said lightly: "Let's eat." Then he continued to eat white porridge and pickles. "Auntie, you... don't want to eat it?" Su Chen asked, looking at the egg custard in front of him. Xiao Sumei said without any emotion: "The leftovers will go bad if we don't eat them now." Su Chen's throat seemed to be stuck by a thorn and he was unable to speak. The egg custard, which was obviously very fragrant, now seemed particularly difficult to swallow. At this time, Su Chen noticed Xiao Sumei's wrist, "Auntie, your bracelet..."
Xiao Sumei has a jade bracelet on her wrist. It was her dowry. She has worn it for many years and has never been willing to take it off. Why is her wrist empty now? Hearing this, Xiao Sumei instinctively glanced at her rough hands, and then said hypocritically, "Put it away." Su Chen is not stupid! How could he not understand at this moment? His family's conditions were not good to begin with, and he had a fight, so Xiao Sumei had to sell her bracelet to compensate the other party! Thinking of this, Su Chen's eyes suddenly turned red, "Auntie..." Xiao Sumei looked up, "Hmm?" Su Chen lowered his head and buried it in the bowl: "I'm sorry." Xiao Sumei was stunned for a long while, her lips trembling slightly, she took a deep breath, forced a smile and said: "It's okay... I'm done eating, so I'm going to the store first. You can stay at home for a while! Tell me what you want to eat for lunch, and I'll make it for you when I get back. Just put the bowl in the sink after eating, and I'll come back to wash it in the evening." Xiao Sumei opened a small convenience store in the community, which was the only source of income for her family. It was morning and it was time to open the store for business. Having said that, Su Chen felt extremely guilty at the moment. How could he really feel at ease throwing the finished bowl into the sink and not caring about it? He had nothing to offer his stepmother, so he could only do the housework at home. At this moment, Su Chen felt that he was a little ridiculous. He was on the battlefield in Yunhai and could kill three mercenaries like a god, but after returning home, Su Chen felt that he was extremely useless! ......... It's approaching noon. A car with military license plates drove into the resettlement community, and a major got out of the car. He followed the address and came to the convenience store opened by Xiao Sumei. As soon as the major came in, he saw a middle-aged woman sorting the goods. He asked, "Excuse me, are you Su Chen's mother?" Xiao Sumei stopped counting the goods and became nervous when she saw that it was a major. "Oh, yes, I am Su Chen's mother. What do you want to see him for?" It's no wonder that Xiao Sumei was so nervous. Su Chen has been causing trouble since junior high school. Xiao Sumei instinctively felt that the other party was looking for Xiaochen because Xiaochen might have done something wrong! "Please take us to see him first." The major did not get straight to the point. Hearing this, Xiao Sumei's heart was in her throat, but she had no choice but to take the two of them home. She was very worried in her heart. Her biological son Wang Zhen had already been locked up for assaulting a police officer after drunk driving. If something happened to Xiaochen again, how would she live? Xiao Sumei was followed by a famous major, and many neighbors and elderly people were whispering to each other when they saw her. "I just saw Su Chen come back, and there are soldiers looking for him right away. Could it be that Su Chen is causing trouble again?" "I don't think so! This kid has been a worry since he was young. I heard he beat someone up not long ago." "Alas! I don't know why Su Mei's life is so miserable. She has two sons. Her biological son is in the police academy but got into trouble and was sent to prison. Her stepson is also a bastard! What can I do..." "Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite..." In the room, Su Chen heard the sound of the key opening the door, and immediately got up from the sofa and walked to the door to greet him. When he saw the major standing behind Xiao Sumei, he was stunned. Xiao Sumei said nervously: "Xiaochen, he is here to see you..." (End of this chapter)
