PFC Chapter 506 Fat Widow 1
Chapter 506 Fat Widow 1
Zhang Xintong opened her eyes and found herself in front of a pigpen with two pigs in it. She was holding a ladle in her hand and it seemed that she had just finished feeding the pigs.
"Xiao 9, transfer the original owner's memories"
"OK, transmission begins, time paused"
The original owner was named Zhang Pangya, born in Zhangjia Village. Her parents and three brothers loved her dearly, as she was the only girl in the family. She was allowed to eat whatever was delicious. She didn't have to do any chores. From childhood to adulthood, she lived a very happy life.
But since she turned 18, her family has worried about her marriage. Because she wasn't allowed to work for years, the villagers considered her a lazy girl. And because she ate well, she weighed 150 kilograms, a truly alarming weight in that era.
The original owner wasn't ugly; she was fair, plump, and neither short, a voluptuous beauty. In an era where plumpness was considered beautiful, she would have made a voluptuous concubine. Unfortunately, she was born in the wrong era. Here, mothers-in-law don't like daughters-in-law who are lazy, greedy, and overweight. Although many men like this type of woman, marriage matters are decided by family, so the original owner never got married.
The original owner didn't feel anything about getting married or not, but her parents felt very sorry for her. It was because they raised her to be like this that she couldn't get married.
The original owner was 26 years old this year. In mid-March, a family from the neighboring Mengjia Village came to propose to her. The man was 3 years old, named Meng Jiangang, the eldest son in the family. He said that his wife died of childbirth complications three years ago. The family has two children, a 28-year-old boy named Meng Dazhuang and a 6-year-old girl named Meng Xiaohua.
Meng Jiangang worked at a county machinery factory and had a good job. His family had inquired about him and heard he was attractive and had a good reputation within the factory. The Meng family took this match very seriously. They gave a typical betrothal gift of 880 yuan, but they only wanted to get married as soon as possible.
The original owner's parents were quite satisfied with this marriage. Their daughter was 26 years old and couldn't find a first-time bride. Although Meng Jiangang was getting married for the second time, he had a job and his ex-wife died of illness, so there would be no trouble in the future. The original owner agreed because she was afraid that her parents would be sad.
The original owner only found out on the night of her wedding that Meng Jiangang was seriously injured and the doctor said he would not live long. The Meng family was anxious to get her married to bring good luck and hope that Meng Jiangang would recover.
The idea of bringing good luck to the bride was absurd. Three days later, Meng Jiangang died, leaving the original owner a widow. Although the two elders of the Meng family felt guilty, they naturally left the two children to the original owner because they had given a 2000 yuan betrothal gift, and they went to live with the second elder.
The original owner's parents and three brothers wanted to take her home, but she didn't want her family to be criticized. A 26-year-old girl who couldn't get married was always gossiped about. Finally, she got married, but her husband died three days later, earning her a reputation as a jinx. If she abandoned her children and returned to her parents' home, her parents and brothers would be criticized. Besides that, if she left, her two children would be left alone, which was quite pitiful. Life would be the same wherever she went, and she missed her parents and brothers, and it would be convenient to go home, so she stayed.
It was 1980, and the country had just opened up its market economy and allowed private businesses. (Independent world, the time of liberation has changed before, and the time after has also changed, so please refer to the author for the final version)
The original owner was white and plump, and she liked plump animals. She loved raising pigs, and watching them grow from tiny to plump and big, and then killing and eating them, was very satisfying. Although she didn't work in the fields at her parents' house, she was the one who raised the pigs.
After arriving at the Meng family, the land that belonged to her and the children was given to the second son by the Meng family elders to farm, but they would send them 60 kilograms of grain every month, 30 kilograms of fine grains and 30 kilograms of coarse grains.
This was a lot of food, but the original owner was fat and had a big appetite, so the family of three was neither full nor starving, and the original owner lost several pounds.
The original owner liked the way he looked when he was fat and didn't want to lose weight. Since he didn't have to farm and had nothing to do at home, he caught two pigs and raised them at home.
The original owner was a skilled pig farmer, always raising plump and white pigs. Every time she slaughtered a pig, it sold quickly, and the lives of the mother and her two children became increasingly better. Because of this, the original owner became a popular figure in Mengjia Village. Although she was a virgin, she was a second marriage, and all the men who were interested in her were also second marriages; none of them were first-married, and none of them looked particularly good.
The Meng family elders had no objection to her remarrying, as long as she could take the child with her and not change the child's surname. The original owner liked tall, fair-skinned, handsome men, and wanted to find someone younger than herself for her first marriage. She didn't want to marry a second marriage, and because she hadn't found anyone suitable, she had never married.
The original owner had a decent relationship with the two children, having raised them since they were young, but it wasn't as close as a biological child. In 2000, the children's mother, Wu Cuicui, returned to find them. It turned out she hadn't died in childbirth, but had fled to Hong Kong to avoid hardship. The Meng family, feeling humiliated, divorced, claiming she had died in childbirth.
Maybe blood is thicker than water, or maybe Wu Cuicui was rich, but both children went with her, leaving the original owner alone.
The original owner spent her old age in a nursing home. Her two children would come back to see her once a year and leave her a lot of money before they left. So her life wasn't that miserable, but she was lonely.
In 2024, the original owner passed away at the age of 70. She didn't blame the Meng family elders or the two children, but felt that her life was too dull and meaningless.
"Memory transfer complete. The original owner had three wishes. First: She couldn't lose weight, as she preferred a plump, fair complexion. Second: She wanted to raise lots of pigs, become a wealthy farmer, earn a fortune, and become a wealthy woman. Third: Regardless of whether it was sincere or not, she wanted to find a handsome man who was younger than her, taller, and fair-skinned. This had to be her first marriage, so she could have two children of her own and have family by her side when she got old."
"Xiao 9, what is the side quest?"
"Sell 10 fat pigs to the system"
"What does the system need pigs for?"
"Pork is a hot commodity in the system. Other questers don't have a space bound to their souls. In the quest world, good things can't be taken away, and poor places can't take anything out. If you want to eat meat, you can only buy it with points or the system. There's not much pork left in the system. In this world, you raise pigs, so this side quest is created."
"Then what can you buy from me?"
"Your wisher wants to be a rich woman, and we will use the houses, cars, companies, and money of this world to buy it with you."
"Where did you get these things? Are they legitimate?"
Small 9...
"It was left behind by a previous tasker. It has all the formalities and can be directly changed to your name. It's very convenient."
"Why didn't it exist in the previous world?"
"This has always been available, but none of the wishers before you wanted to be rich, so you've saved all the good stuff. Besides, if the system didn't want pigs and you could use points to buy these things, would you buy them?"
Zhang Xintong......
"No, your system is so shady. I sold you the Time Travel Card for 200 points, but now you're selling it for 500 points. I don't want to be taken advantage of."
Small 9...
"You run a business to make money, so shouldn't we make money too?"
"Haha! But I'm picky."
