Reborn back to the time before I sold my blood to support my scumbag boyfriend's college educat

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Pei Shizhou got up and went to the village chief's house first. The college student was still asleep; Pei Shizhou had barely slept the night before.

It wasn't because of Pei Feng, but because I couldn't sleep because I was thinking about Xia Yichu. Although I called home yesterday when I arrived, I was still worried about Xia Yichu.

"village head"

"Shizhou's here! I was just about to call you over for dinner. Let's eat first, and then I have something to discuss with you."

"Okay, I'll go wash my face."

Pei Shizhou, carrying the toiletries he had brought from the car, went to the tap in front of the village chief's house to brush his teeth and wash his face.

The village chief waited at home for Pei Shizhou to have dinner, while his family members went to the mourning hall early in the morning to help. Only he and his two grandchildren were at home; they were still sleeping inside.

So it was just him and Pei Shizhou having breakfast. The breakfast consisted of porridge, meat buns, and some pickled vegetables to go with the porridge. It was a relatively simple meal.

He thought Pei Shizhou would find it unappetizing and wouldn't be used to the food, but to his surprise, Pei Shizhou ate everything. Only after Pei Shizhou finished the last bite of porridge and put down his chopsticks did the village chief speak.

"Shizhou, the mourning hall was set up overnight last night, and the coffin is ready and placed in the mourning hall now. The feng shui master has also been contacted, and he will go up the mountain later to find an auspicious burial site for your father."

Pei Shizhou initially wanted to say no, but then he thought about how he and Pei Feng were father and son. He worried that if the feng shui of his burial site was bad, it might affect his and Xia Yichu's child. After thinking it over, he said nothing.

Seeing that he was listening attentively, the village chief continued, "The funeral team should be here this morning, and everything else is fine, except..."

The village chief suddenly stopped speaking, his expression hesitant and unsure of what to say.

"Village chief, please tell me what's on your mind."

"Okay, so it's about your current relationship with your family. I'm afraid your cousins ​​won't help carry your father up the mountain."

Not only them, but even Pei's relatives within five degrees of kinship were unwilling. They could hire people for other things, but this was a bit difficult to handle.

"Village chief, it's alright. I brought a few people with me. We can have them carry the coffin when the time comes."

Pei Shizhou thought it was no big deal, as he had already made preparations.

"In Shizhou, there are certain customs regarding who should carry the coffin. It is best if it is carried by a married male member of the clan. Of course, you can also hire a professional coffin bearer."

But the funeral was arranged in a hurry, and there's no time to invite anyone now. By the way, are all the people you brought married?

In their rural areas, they basically don't hire coffin bearers. I've never heard of it in the surrounding villages. If you want to hire one, you probably have to go to the county town.

The village chief looked at the people Pei Shizhou brought. Only one of them was relatively old, while the other three looked quite young, and it was hard to say whether they were married or not.

I don't know if they're married or not; I'll have to ask.

"Alright, ask around carefully. There are no more than ten young people in the village who have gone out to work. Apart from the elderly and those still in school, you can't find more than ten. You also have to check if their zodiac signs clash with your father's. People whose zodiac signs clash can't help carry the load."

Their village has two surnames, Pei and Xu, and the village chief's surname is Xu. If he weren't surnamed Xu, it wouldn't have been so easy for Pei Shizhou to get the village chief to hold Pei Feng's funeral in the village without the Pei family's consent.

If he hadn't had a conflict with the Pei family, they would have had many suitable candidates. Alas, even without the conflict, the village chief wouldn't have been in charge of Pei Feng's funeral arrangements.

"Okay, I understand. Village chief, you go ahead with your work! If necessary, you can hire someone from another village to help out."

"That's all we can do. If you need anything at the funeral hall, you can come find me there."

"it is good"

Pei Shizhou had no idea whether the people he brought were married or not; everyone around him stayed at the company to work. Aside from the driver, he honestly didn't even know their names.

knock!knock!

"Wake up, I have something to ask you."

The college student woke up groggily, and upon seeing Pei Shizhou outside the car, he instantly became alert.

"President Pei"

"Get down. By the way, what's your name?"

Gu Yunting called him Xiao Li, and so did the people who came with Pei Shizhou. As for his real name, Pei Shizhou didn't know.

"President Pei, my name is Li Zhizhong, Zhi as in wisdom and Zhong as in loyalty."

He especially loves the name his parents gave him and is very proud when introducing himself.

"Do you know that the two security guards I brought are married?"

Li Zhizhong knew immediately what Pei Shizhou was up to. His family lived in the countryside and knew a lot about burial matters.

One is married, the other isn't.

Pei Shizhou's company offers good benefits; it's the kind of company where people would fight tooth and nail to get a job, even as a security guard. Since there's a choice, the company hires young and strong men for its security guard positions.

"President Pei, are you thinking about carrying the coffin?"

Seeing Pei Shizhou remain silent, Li Zhizhong asked cautiously.

"right"

"What is your father's zodiac sign?"

"have no idea"

Li Zhizhong almost lost his composure. Rumors in the company said that President Pei and his father had a bad relationship, but he never imagined that the relationship could be so bad that he didn't even know his father's zodiac sign.

"President Pei, I'll go and inquire about it. Leave the coffin-carrying to me."

Li Zhizhong felt this was an opportunity; if he handled it well, he was sure Pei Shizhou would remember him.

"OK"

Pei Shizhou had no objection. He liked smart people, and being with smart people saved him a lot of energy.

After Li Zhizhong left, Pei Shizhou wandered around the village. If nothing unexpected happened, this would be his last visit. No one had built new houses; all the old ones remained.

The village chief took Pei Feng's funeral very seriously, and the funeral procession arrived early in the morning. Pei Shizhou could hear the singing and crying coming from far away from the mourning hall, and it actually sounded quite convincing.

Pei's relatives all stayed home and didn't go out; no one attended Pei Feng's funeral. Everyone wanted to see Pei Shizhou make a fool of himself, but unfortunately, they didn't get to see Pei Shizhou make a fool of himself until Pei Feng was buried.

"Village chief, thank you for your hard work today. Here is my business card. Please feel free to call me if you need anything in the future."

The village chief quickly accepted Pei Shizhou's business card; it was far more valuable than any money he could get. Their village wasn't far from Kyoto, and many villagers went there to work.

Her youngest son was also in Kyoto, and with Pei Shizhou's words, her son could ask him for help if he encountered any problems.

"Shi Zhou, you're too kind."

The village chief really helped a lot this time. Now that Xia Yichu is pregnant, Pei Shizhou is still rather secretive about some things. As the saying goes, it's better to believe it than not to believe it. Being able to give Pei Feng a proper burial puts one of his worries to rest.

Giving the village chief a promise wouldn't hurt, as long as his requests aren't excessive. If he really needs something from Pei Shizhou, he can help.

"Village chief, I'm going home now."

Pei Shizhou was here, but his heart already belonged to Xia Yichu.

"Alright, then I won't keep you any longer. It's getting late, so please drive carefully."

It's almost seven o'clock now. They just finished dealing with Pei Feng's business and had just finished dinner.

"it is good"

Pei Feng and the driver drove them back; the other three couldn't drive.

Before getting out of the car at home, Pei Shizhou told Li Zhizhong to find some time to take his driver's license test. This meant that he wanted to give him an important position, and Li Zhizhong excitedly agreed.

The people who carried the coffin today were hired by Li Zhizhong, and things went very smoothly.
