chapter 1 Annoying brother-in-law

As the sun set, Clifford Chu returned home with heavy steps.

The family had finished their meal, and there were only some leftovers on the table. No one took his son-in-law seriously.

Father- in-Ernest Qiao asked with a gloomy face: "Did you get the money?"

Brother-in-law Gustave Qiao had a date, and the woman asked to use her name to buy a house and a car.

For a house of 100 square meters, according to the house price in Yaozhou City, the down payment is 300,000.

The Qiao family only had 150,000 yuan in savings, and there was still a big gap. Ernest Qiao asked Clifford Chu to advance one year's salary from his work unit.

Mother-in-law Gayle Li frowned and said, "If you don't get the money, get out. Our family doesn't want to raise a waste like you anymore."

Clifford Chu laughed bitterly, his heart full of bitterness.

Gustave Qiao, who was immersed in playing chicken, curled his lips and said: "My sister marrying you, a loser, is a blessing you earned in your previous life. Even if you sell your kidneys, it won't be an exaggeration."

At this time, his wife Faye Qiao came down from upstairs.

She has long hair cascading down her shoulders, her eyebrows are picturesque, and she has a beautiful face.

Clifford Chu looked at Faye Qiao, his eyes instantly became gentle.

If he didn't love Faye Qiao so much, he wouldn't be able to stay in this house for a day.

Two years ago, Clifford Chu appeared on Fengqing Street in Yaozhou City. He didn't know who he was or where he came from. He only knew that his name was Clifford Chu.

The kind-hearted Faye Qiao saw that he was pitiful, so she gave him some food from her stall every day, so that he could feel the rare warmth when he was confused and helpless.

Faye Qiao's frown and smile slowly imprinted themselves into his heart.

He fell deeply in love with Faye Qiao!

From then on, Clifford Chu settled in the bridge hole not far from Fengqing Street.

Every day after the Qiao family's barbecue stall opened, he would watch Faye Qiao from a distance. After the Qiao family closed the stall, he would step forward to help clean up.

A little leftover rice can be exchanged for free labor. This transaction is not a loss no matter how hard it is, so Ernest Qiao and his wife never stop it.

Later, the urban village where Qiao's family lived was relocated collectively and houses were allocated to each household.

None of the children had married, and according to regulations, the Qiao family could only be allocated one apartment. This made Ernest Qiao and his wife feel that they had suffered a big loss. They began to urge Faye Qiao, who had reached the legal marriage age, to find someone to get married as soon as possible.

The troubled Faye Qiao came up with an idea to marry Clifford Chu, help her parents get a house, and then separate.

Although she didn't know the origin and past, after a period of contact, she believed that Clifford Chu was not a bad person.

Moreover, besides Clifford Chu, she could not find anyone more suitable to cooperate with her plan, because others could not be at her mercy.

After Faye Qiao told Clifford Chu her idea, Clifford Chu agreed without even thinking about it.

He no longer has to live and eat in the open, but he can still spend time with the person he likes. How could he refuse.

Although Ernest Qiao and his wife felt that it was a bit embarrassing for their daughter to marry a beggar, they still reluctantly agreed when they thought of the house worth hundreds of thousands.

The Qiao family asked someone to register Clifford Chu in Yaozhou City, get a marriage certificate for him and Faye Qiao, and find him a job as a caregiver.

Although Ernest Qiao and his wife cynicized and had a bad attitude towards Clifford Chu every day, and Faye Qiao also treated him lukewarmly, Clifford Chu was still very satisfied.

Faye Qiao pursed her lips and said, "Shuqi's marriage is the most important thing in the family now. If possible, I still hope you can try your best to find a way."

Clifford Chu said hurriedly: "I've been begging the Finance Department for a long time, but they don't allow salary advances..."

Before Clifford Chu could finish speaking, Gayle Li interrupted with a sneer, "Trash!"

Gustave Qiao sneered: "I feel so unworthy for my sister, a flower stuck in cow dung."

Faye Qiao glared at Gustave Qiao and said to Clifford Chu: "There is still porridge in the kitchen, I will heat it up for you."

Clifford Chu said hurriedly: "No, I can just eat something."

He went to the kitchen and filled a bowl of millet porridge, then started to eat dinner with the already cold steamed buns and leftovers.

He hadn't taken a few bites when Ernest Qiao snorted: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat in one day. You have been working for more than a year, and you don't have any savings at all?"

Clifford Chu took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. When he met Gayle Li disgusted gaze, he quickly put out the cigarette and said with a bitter smile: "My monthly salary is more than two thousand, and I give Shuqi one thousand pocket money, and the rest is The savings are barely enough for our family’s daily expenses, so there is no savings.”

"You still have the nerve to smoke cigarettes that cost five yuan a pack when you have no money? Just quit now. You can save some money."

Gustave Qiao taught Chu Clifford Chu a lesson, took out a box of 20-yuan King Furong from his pocket, lit one, and continued: "My girlfriend said that both the house and the car are indispensable."

He had an expression that looked like you just had to figure it out.

Ernest Qiao looked sad, "What should we do?"

Gayle Li frowned and sighed.

After a while, her eyes fell on Clifford Chu, and suddenly her eyes lit up and she said, "Give me the bead you are wearing around your neck."

Clifford Chu was stunned for a moment.

Faye Qiao raised her beautiful eyebrows and said, "Mom, why do you want other people's beads?"

Gayle Li said: "That bead seems to be made of jade. It should be worth some money. Let's sell it."

Clifford Chu eyes widened and he hurriedly said: "We can't sell it!"

He woke up in Yaozhou two years ago and lost all memories of the past. Except for the clothes he was wearing, the only thing he had was the bead on his neck.

Gayle Li shouted sharply: "Is a piece of broken jade more important? Or is it the lifelong event of Shuqi?"

Clifford Chu explained in a calm voice, "I'm not stingy, but this bead is the only thing I have that is related to the past. I also want to use it to figure out my origin and identity..."

Gayle Li interrupted with a look of disdain, "You are just a stinky beggar, what is your identity?"

"Feed the unfamiliar white-eyed wolf."Ernest Qiao snorted coldly: "If it weren't for us, you would still be fighting with wild dogs on the street for food. We married our daughter to you without any conditions, and you even broke it. I can’t even bear to part with the beads.”

Clifford Chu sighed, "Except for this bead, I can give you anything else."

Ernest Qiao said with a disdainful expression: "If you have any other things, please tell me."

Faye Qiao frowned, "Dad, Mom, don't force him, this bead is very important to him."

Gayle Li glared at Faye Qiao, "Isn't Shuqi's marriage important?"

"I'm going to order this bead today!"

Gustave Qiao strode forward and raised his hand to grab the beads around Clifford Chu's neck.

Clifford Chu subconsciously stepped back, "I can't give you the beads."

"How shameless? Do you believe I will kill you?"

Gustave Qiao cursed angrily and punched Clifford Chu hard in the face.

Clifford Chu was directly punched by Gustave Qiao and staggered to the side. His head hit the corner of the table hard with a muffled "dong" sound.

Severe pain struck, Clifford Chu vision went dark and he fainted. He fell to the ground with a "pop" and was unconscious.

In a daze, scenes flashed through his mind like a movie.

Because of the impact on his head, Clifford Chu regained his memory!
