Chapter 1 [What, my biological mother is a white fox? ]

Chen Yan was sitting in the waiting hall of Jinlingfu High-Speed Railway Station, holding a backpack in his hands, staring blankly at the billboard in the waiting hall.

People are coming and going around, and travelers are in a hurry. No one will notice the young man sitting in a chair in a daze.

It was already winter, and the central air conditioning in the waiting hall wasn't working well enough, making it a bit chilly. But Chen Yan felt a bit hot, as if the slightest movement would send a fire raging inside him.

Actually, Chen Yan had just resigned from the company this morning—well, that's not quite right. To be more precise, he didn't even make it through the internship period and just packed up and left.

The autumn recruitment situation during this year's graduation season was particularly brutal, so even though this job required more work than working as an ox or a horse and paid less than chicken feed, a few months ago, Chen Yan, who had just graduated, had no choice but to accept the offer.

The internship period is three months and half of the salary will be paid.

Unexpectedly, after enduring three months of living like a beast, helping the department leader pick up express deliveries and takeout every day and acting as a bag carrier, frequently working overtime and staying up late for free, and occasionally having to act as the "intern who takes the blame" when things go wrong in the department - I found out that this leader is not a human being at all.

Well, in today’s workplace, it seems that there are few leaders who can be considered human beings.

Here's what happened. This morning, Chen Yan went downstairs to buy coffee for his boss at the company. In order to save a few dollars on takeout fees, the old woman often assigned him to buy it herself.

Before returning to the office, Chen Yan received a call from someone in his hometown village, saying that Chen Yan's grandmother was sick and asked Chen Yan to go back to see her if it was convenient.

When Chen Yan asked for leave from his boss, the old woman said in a sarcastic tone while drinking the iced American coffee that Chen Yan bought for her: Oh, why don't you get sick earlier or later, but at the end of the month when it's the busiest time?

With just one sentence, Chen Yan, who had endured working like a slave for three months and had to put on a smile for three months, decided not to endure it anymore.

He snatched the cup of takeaway coffee that he had bought for the old woman and poured it directly on the old woman's head.

Then, Chen Yan turned around and walked out of the office and returned to his workstation to pack up his things.

The old woman chased Chen Yan out of the office and cursed at him in front of more than a dozen colleagues in the office.

Chen Yan was neither excited nor angry. Instead, he showed a shy and gentle smile of a young man and said two words with a hint of apology:
"Amanda, I really don't like women who are more than ten years older than me, so even if you promise to give me a promotion, I really can't accept you. I'm really sorry." After saying this, he bowed with a smile.

As soon as the words fell, the office fell into complete silence! More than a dozen colleagues' eyes lit up and they instantly turned into spectators.

Everyone looked at the handsome young intern, and then looked at the 38-year-old middle-aged fairy Amanda... Everyone's mouths and eyes were wide open, and they were shouting in their hearts, "Wow!"
The old woman was furious and said: You are talking nonsense...

Chen Yan had already bowed with a smile, then picked up his bag and ran away. He left the company and called an online taxi, heading straight to the high-speed rail station.

……

It’s not like the post-2000s generation is rectifying the workplace. He’s just a young man who was bullied to the point that he didn’t want to endure it anymore.

Sitting in the waiting hall of the high-speed rail station, Chen Yan no longer cared about the company's affairs, and he didn't even think about the middle-aged fairy named Amanda.

If I had known this earlier, I would have listened to the old lady and returned to my hometown to inherit her legacy when I graduated.

The grandmother in his hometown, whom Chen Yan calls "my old lady", has raised Chen Yan for twenty years, since he was two years old.

To be precise, Chen Yan was picked up by the old lady.

The old lady never explained how she picked it up and where she picked it up from for all these years.

Well, actually there are too many versions, and the old lady herself always makes mistakes in the settings!
When Chen Yan was six years old, the old lady asked about it and said that she picked up Chen Yan from the trash can outside the obstetrics and gynecology department of the county hospital.

When he was eight years old, the old lady said that she once went to a dilapidated temple on the mountain and found Chen Yan under a big tree behind the temple.

When he was eleven years old, the old lady's story changed again. On a windy and snowy night, a young, beautiful and desperate woman came to the old lady's door with the baby Chen Yan in her arms and begged for mercy. She left the child and two hundred yuan and walked away.

When he was fifteen, the old lady changed her words and said that she was actually the one who rescued Chen Yan from the human traffickers.

Eighteen years old...

Well, the version I said when I was 18 was the most amazing:

The old lady said that on a snowy night, a beautiful young woman with nowhere to go came to her door, holding the baby Chen Yan and begging for mercy...

Wait a minute! Isn't this the same version as the one I had when I was eleven?

Don’t be impatient, the old lady added at the end.

"Then, the woman suddenly turned into a snow-white fox. She jumped a few times and dived into the snowdrifts and disappeared into the mountains."

When the eighteen-year-old Chen Yan heard this, he was so angry that his stomach hurt!
Turn into a white fox?

Why don't you say my mom turned into Ultraman?!

`
Such an old lady has a very awesome, powerful and cool job in the local area.

She is the most powerful person in the whole area...

Fortune teller.

没错，就是字面意思。

They would read people's feng shui and choose a grave site, or they would use a peach wood sword and burn a talisman to ward off evil spirits and ward off disasters.

If there is a funeral in a family, the old lady can go and cry at the funeral.

It was like that, rushing forward to the mourning hall, facing the room full of filial sons and grandchildren...

With just a roar, I can howl it out to you right in front of you!
Guaranteed to bring tears!

The old lady thought this job was not shabby at all.

Cry once, eighty!

In the old lady’s words, this is called art…this is called, money is never a burden!
……

A few months ago, Chen Yan graduated from university, and the old lady called and asked Chen Yan to come home.

What this means is that Chen Yan will inherit the old lady's legacy.

Since I can’t find a job that suits me in the big city, I might as well go back to the countryside and become a... sorcerer with a promising future!
Actually... Chen Yan really considered it seriously at that time.

No joke.

It is so hard to find a job nowadays. I heard that during the autumn recruitment, a lot of 985 graduates are scrambling for jobs that pay a few thousand yuan a month.

Chen Yan is self-aware.

Besides having a pretty face...

A non-key undergraduate program has very little competitiveness in this year's autumn recruitment market.

In reality, Chen Yan had a rather aloof personality, didn't have any big ambitions, and was the type to take things in stride. At most, he had a bit of a bad taste deep down.

For example, when I was watching a TV drama, and saw a character died...

He would definitely pull the progress bar back to see if the actor playing the dead person on the screen was secretly blinking or breathing.

In his daily dealings with others, he is generally kind - unless you step on his lungs and drive him crazy.

The old lady is Chen Yan's lung, and she must not be stepped on.

Twenty-two-year-old Chen Yan has only had one fight in all these years: when he was a child, a group of half-grown kids at the village entrance were playing around, and someone said something mean, saying that the old lady dressed in colorful clothes and had disheveled hair when she was performing a ritual, "looking like an old female ghost."

Chen Yan got furious at that time. He was a smiling man usually, but he picked up his fists and beat up two guys who were half a head taller than him, making them cry for their parents. He even kicked one of them into the river.

So, the old lady intended to let Chen Yan go back to be a charlatan, and Chen Yan himself did not resist.

But there is one downside to going back to the countryside.

Once you return, the matchmaker in the village will come to your house to introduce you to a blind date!

People in the countryside get married early, and many 22-year-old men like Chen Yan are already fathers, so it is normal for Chen Yan to be dragged to a blind date.

He had actually seen two of them, just during the previous summer vacation.

Among them, the one with the highest appearance is the one who came with her father.

The girl's father, with his dark skin, broad back and strong waist, is a man who can run a horse on his arms!

Looking at the girl again...

Wow! (Boss Guo's tone)

She looks just like her father!
·
The result was naturally unsuccessful. The other party was attracted by Chen Yan's handsome appearance, but when Chen Yan looked at the female warrior, he felt that he really couldn't bring himself to eat her.

What's more, the other party's requirements are not low. The betrothal gift is 188,000 yuan, and his name must be added when buying a house in the county town.

These days, I’ve seen enough fairies in the city. Why should I go back to the countryside and find another pastoral fairy?
So he found a job as a slave in Jinling Prefecture to get by for the time being so as not to worry the old lady.

……

A two-and-a-half-hour high-speed train ride, followed by a one-hour long-distance bus ride, and finally a three-mile walk.

When I finally reached the familiar village entrance...

Walking into the familiar village road, looking at the small rural buildings on both sides, watching the chickens and local dogs running back and forth as if no one was around.

Chen Yan suddenly felt a little homesick.

Sigh... that weird old lady who always acts weird...

What happened to her? When the old village chief called, he said she was sick, but he didn't say how serious it was. But if she wasn't seriously ill, he wouldn't have called to ask me to go back.

Now... the old lady probably can't sit cross-legged and tell me stories about Zhong Kui's tricks anymore, right?

There's definitely no way to call out to the souls with a strong voice or perform some shaman act, right?

What will you see when you get home?

An old man lying in bed, dying, with a sickly, haggard and aged face?
Walking into his own yard, Chen Yan couldn't help but slow down his pace.

My eyes feel a little hot.

In an instant, all the good things about the old lady came to my mind.

The old lady's stir-fried edamame with pork, the way she fanned herself against mosquitoes in the summer... and the way she smiled as she ate the sweetest piece of watermelon in the summer...

My hand was already pressing on the door of my house, and there was a buzzing in my ears - probably an illusion.

After taking a deep breath and with tears on the verge of flowing out, Chen Yan gently pushed open the door.

then……

He was stunned.

……

In the main hall of my house, on the wall facing the door, there is a New Year picture that I bought during last year's Spring Festival and has not been torn off yet.

In the New Year pictures, the sturdy dragon son and daughter stand on either side, holding gold ingots in their hands. In the middle is the image of the emperor Taizu, smiling kindly.

Well, many New Year pictures in rural areas have this standard configuration.

There was a tattered bamboo hat next to the gate, and half a bag of corn on the left.

And the middle...

A square table with a red tablecloth. Four old men are having a fierce battle!

At the main seat, a rosy-faced, energetic old lady, with silver hair tied in a large bun at the back of her head and cloth shoes with thick soles, held a pipe in one hand and an object in the other. Her fingers were rubbing the object back and forth.

His eyes narrowed into a line due to smiling.

Then, the object in her right hand fell to the center of the table.

"Eighty thousand!"

Then push the cards in front of you.

"Self-draw! Pay! Don't run! Finally caught a big one!"

The old lady smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.

puff.

The bag in Chen Yan's hand fell to the ground.

Seriously ill?

Chen Yan's first reaction was: I was fooled?!
