Reborn in 2015, I became a male god starting in high school.

Chapter 53 Summer is Over

"Lottery? Can you really make money from that?" Clearly, Aunt Sun didn't believe it.

Unfortunately, Zhou Ziyang didn't offer much explanation and went into the stairwell on his own.

Having lived in the dormitory building for nearly twenty years, my first impression upon entering the building was that it was dirty and chaotic.

Zhou Ziyang always spoke to people in a way that suited them, and told his neighbors that he had won the lottery.

They naturally didn't believe it. They knew about Zhou Ziyang's family situation, and it was obvious that he had acknowledged his father, who was an official.

I saw Zhou Ziyang driving his black BMW in and out, and I heard he was going to buy a new house.

This made a group of people envious, and they couldn't help but gossip about Zhou Ziyang's family behind their backs: What a load of rubbish! All they did was bow their heads and bend their backs.

"Well, that's because he has a father who's an official, I heard he works in the procuratorate, he must have embezzled a lot."

"He must have embezzled at least tens of millions."

Zhou Ziyang's high-profile return home was bound to arouse suspicion, but Zhou Ziyang didn't care about any of that.

The only one who might have an impact is his father, who is an official.

To be honest, although Zhou Guowei was a great help to me after I started working in my previous life, he didn't participate in my growth process.

Therefore, Zhou Ziyang really didn't have much affection for his father.

So let it have an impact; making everyone think that their wealth comes from their father saves them a lot of trouble.

As for his mother, Zhou Ziyang replied that she earned the money by writing novels.

"You make money writing novels?" The mother clearly couldn't believe it.

But upon closer examination, it is quite possible.

After all, Zhou Ziyang's essay was the only one to receive a perfect score.

Zhou's mother, Yang Lijuan, only learned about her son's essay later. Naturally, she was happy and gratified, giving her son a thumbs up and saying, "Well done!"

"Your father is practically dead!"

Zhou Ziyang really had no interest in getting involved in things that were the affairs of the older generation.

When I was a child, I naively thought that my father was wrong, and that a man should not be fickle.

But as he grew up and saw more and more men and women around him, his values ​​were reshaped, and Zhou Ziyang didn't know how to evaluate it anymore.

If I had to say, then it's Zhou Guowei's fault.

If he wants to play, he shouldn't choose someone with a stubborn and willful personality like his mother.

Now that you've found someone, don't even think about flirting anymore.

Both want and want.

There is no such thing as a cheap thing in the world.

So Zhou Ziyang, who held this view, thought that in the future, when he was in a relationship, he would stay together if he was happy, and part ways amicably if he was not. He couldn't be like his father, who insisted on being together even though they were clearly not compatible.

When it comes to the question of whether his parents are right or wrong, Zhou Ziyang blindly sides with his mother.

But to be honest, Zhou Ziyang didn't like to ramble on about old stories with his mother.

My mother had no other man besides my father.

This destined her to be trapped by her father for life. From elementary school onwards, her mother told Zhou Ziyang that good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished. Zhou Guowei has committed many evils and will surely suffer the consequences in the future!

The result was that he only earned six thousand yuan a month after working hard in the big city.

Zhou Guowei's monthly retirement pension is 12,000 yuan.

Moreover, Xia Wei, whom he mentored, has begun to make a name for herself in the Jinling legal community, charging by the minute for even a simple consultation with her.

What Zhou Ziyang’s mother would say every day was, “What’s the use of her developing so well?”

"She's not even their biological daughter!"

Now that Zhou Ziyang has been reborn and is successful, his mother keeps repeating the same few sentences: that Zhou Guowei wants to take Zhou Ziyang back because he is successful.

"Whatever you do, don't get too close to him! If he offers you money, take it; don't worry about anything else!"

The mother lived her whole life in her own world; what she really wanted was for Zhou Guowei to run to her in tears and apologize.

In her mind, her father had a miserable life; he was an old man who was deceived by a young vixen.

Zhou Ziyang's mother had told him more than once that Xu Qing didn't genuinely like Zhou Guowei; she was only after Zhou Guowei's money.

Zhou Ziyang was already tired of hearing these words.

But Zhou Ziyang still had to listen to his mother.

The mother was surprised to learn that her son had bought a new car after writing a novel.

She asked Zhou Ziyang how much money he had made.

"Not much, two million."

"Huh?" Yang Lijuan was initially incredulous, then exclaimed with delight, "My son is amazing!"

Zhou Ziyang simply smiled when he heard this.

In early August, I returned to my hometown from Nanjing. People around me gradually learned that I had made some money, but there were many different opinions about how I made it.

The neighbors were gossiping that Zhou Ziyang had made his money from buying lottery tickets, but everyone was highly skeptical of this, feeling that Zhou Ziyang's money came from his corrupt father!

What a blatant case of money being made in the dark!
As for his parents, they said it was money earned from writing novels.

Zhou Ziyang did write a novel in his previous life, and it was quite famous. It was called "Rebirth: I Really Didn't Want to Be a Scumbag"!
At the time, it was a well-known name within the China Literature Group.

Aside from his parents, there were only Zhou Ziyang's relatives, especially his mother's relatives. In their daily interactions, Zhou Ziyang and his mother were in a completely disadvantaged position.

Even when we eat together, I often get lectured.

We can't get angry yet.

When someone gets angry, they become extreme in their temperament.

Zhou Ziyang has lived two lives; it's hard to say what level he'll reach in this one.

In his previous life, when Zhou Ziyang was young, he received a lot of lectures from these relatives, who said that Zhou Ziyang was sensitive, couldn't take a joke, had a withdrawn personality, and didn't like to interact with others.

They also said that Zhou Ziyang's mother didn't know how to educate her child.

Then, after Zhou Ziyang grew up, he entered a department with some power. When he attended a gathering, his relatives started to say that Ziyang was a handsome and talented man!
"Lijuan, you've really succeeded in raising your child!"

Even at this point, some people would still make jokes, but Zhou Ziyang would immediately respond with a light laugh and a sarcastic retort.

They won't say Zhou Ziyang can't take a joke anymore.

They also said Zhou Ziyang was humorous.

Occasionally, when things get a bit ugly, someone will turn hostile.

For example, an aunt you don't get along with might say, "You child, why are you still holding a grudge?"

"I don't hold grudges."

"What grudge could we possibly have against each other, right, Auntie?"

Zhou Ziyang scoffed.

Zhou Ziyang has always had this personality. In his previous life, he attended an ordinary second-tier university. At his graduation banquet, all his relatives came, but at that time, Zhou Ziyang didn't understand anything and just ate.

When his mother asked him to offer a toast, Zhou Ziyang stood up and did so.

In this life, Zhou Ziyang returned in a BMW within just a few days.

The mother happily showed it off to the world.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, someone couldn't help but ask, "Ziyang! What kind of novel do you write? It's so profitable! Could you mentor my little sister?"

Zhou Ziyang chuckled upon hearing this: "Uncle, you actually believe that? I'm just fooling outsiders."

“Without my dad, how could I have earned so much money? Don’t you think so, Uncle?”

Zhou Ziyang never tells the truth, but he also wouldn't cheat someone for no reason.

In August, Zhou Ziyang bought a duplex apartment with a yard in his small hometown, spending a total of 800,000 yuan.

The main reason was that Zhou Ziyang had to put too much effort into renovating the house in Jinling, so he felt it was more cost-effective to buy a second-hand house. He could simply tidy it up and move in.

Time flies, and it's already September.

In his previous life, Zhou Ziyang spent the entire summer vacation at home, spending his days playing games and reading novels. At the time, he was following a very long urban novel called "Very Pure and Very Ambiguous".

I was really into this novel back then. I couldn't help but turn to another chapter at 2 a.m., thinking that I would go to sleep after turning to another chapter. But I couldn't help but turn to another chapter after turning to another chapter, until the sky was turning light. I was still holding my phone and I was still not satisfied.

He really wished he could be like the protagonist Yang Ming, who was successful in all endeavors and had romantic encounters wherever he went.

Looking back on the novel now, Zhou Ziyang still thinks it's quite good. He doesn't know how many chapters he read, but when it came to fighting the bio-mechanical robots, Zhou Ziyang couldn't stand it anymore. This is just a money pit.

In this rebirth, Zhou Ziyang's life is actually not much different.

Sure enough, a lazy dog ​​is always a lazy dog.

The only difference might be that they bought a house with a yard and got a Border Collie.

I'll still spend the rest of my time reading novels in my room.

In 15, there were two particularly popular novels called "Rebirth in the Perfect Era" and "The Common Man's Return".

In early September, the incessant chirping of cicadas seemed to weaken considerably on this day.

The edges of the leaves on the camphor trees in the neighborhood are turning yellow.

The sun was still blazing.

Zhou Ziyang spent his time at home eating watermelon, reading novels, and occasionally chatting with new students in online groups.

It has to be said that the freshman group really has some interesting content.

Especially Qi Tao, he's such a show-off, he even takes pictures of himself swimming and posts them in the group chat.

Meanwhile, the relationship between Wang Na and Qi Tao seems to be heating up rapidly, and some people have already noticed that the two seem to be having an online romance.

Zhang Dapeng checks in on the group every day at nine o'clock without fail.

They say the factory manager is really bullying people, only paying him fifteen yuan an hour and occasionally deducting from his wages.

"They wouldn't dare offend Xu Huai and his gang. I heard they pay them twenty yuan an hour!"

Zhou Ziyang didn't just listen to their speeches; he would occasionally say a few words himself.

For example, Qi Tao would show off his photography skills in the group chat, then talk about cars, like BMW, Audi, Ferrari, and flaunt his Tissot watch.

Zhou Ziyang would always be very supportive, replying in the group chat, "Sure."

After repeating this several times, Qi Tao developed a deep liking for this mysterious person who, although not very talkative, consistently supported him.

In early September, everyone will be heading to school.

Qi Tao messaged Zhou Ziyang privately: "Bro! We're in the same class, and we've been chatting in the group for so long. How about I talk to the teacher and ask if we can be moved to the same dorm?"

"Anything is fine, I have no objection," Zhou Ziyang replied.
