Chapter 150 I Became a Fishman in Modern Times (Part 1)
Perhaps they killed too many Japanese in the small world.
Jiang Ping only became human again after accepting three animal-related requests.
She really has it tough.
Upon arriving in the modern world again, Jiang Ping barely managed to open his eyes; this body was simply too tired.
After confirming that no one was around and there were no cameras, I quickly drank a bowl of bitter medicine, which was both nourishing and refreshing.
The original owner, Tong Yuping, had a son and a daughter, and her grandchildren were all in school.
After retiring, I stay at home to help take care of the children.
Her ex-husband, a scumbag old man, cheated on her with his dance partner in the park, and she has already divorced him.
The original owner had a very unpleasant falling out with her children because of the divorce.
Because they were even more feudal than the original owner, insisting that family scandals should not be aired in public, and forbidding their parents from divorcing, saying that it was fine for them to just make do.
I guess she's worried that the old man and the park lady are truly in love.
You spend money on them, and then you expect them to support you in your old age.
If they don't divorce, the original owner can still keep their biological father trapped.
Later, the original owner asked her nephew, Tong Dadan, to cause a scene in the city.
It wasn't until Tong Dadan went to the companies of those two ungrateful wretches with a loudspeaker and banner that they finally relented.
After the divorce, the original owner quickly returned to her hometown in Hedukou Town.
There was a small one-bedroom house left to her by her parents. A few years ago, she even asked her nephew to find someone to renovate it so that the house would not fall into disrepair.
I never imagined that I would actually have a time to live on my own.
The elderly couple each had their own retirement pensions and didn't have much property to divide.
The house they live in will be divided among their children according to an agreement. As for how it will be divided in the end, that's for the children and the old man to argue about.
The original owner had about 8 yuan in savings, but the old man definitely didn't have that much.
It must be tough on her; she has several money-devouring monsters at home, and her savings haven't even been completely drained yet.
The reason she returned to her hometown from the provincial capital so readily was that she thought that no matter how much her children wanted to take advantage, they would not be willing to send their children back to the town to study.
In the days that followed, the original owner was carefree and had nothing to worry about.
I can laugh all day long just by scrolling through my phone at home, eat simple meals and enjoy everything, and fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.
It's so relaxing not having to take care of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Otherwise, you'll raise them to adulthood only to be resented and accused of being too biased.
Whether it's fair or not, sometimes she feels like she wants to take a ruler and measure it.
It's a pity I realized it too late; I only found out when I got old that money is still the most useful thing.
Even though he doesn't have filial children, his nephew and niece-in-law are quite filial.
...
The original owner and her nephew Tong Dadan had always had a very good relationship.
We're both busy with our own lives and don't see each other often, but we keep in touch frequently by phone.
This is also related to the fact that the original owner was a fashionable old lady.
In addition to taking care of her child, she also posts videos on Douyin (TikTok).
If they encounter something they don't understand, they have to make a video call to ask the young couple.
If they ask too many questions, I'll order takeout for them, buy them cakes, milk tea, study materials, and the like for Tong Dadan's daughter.
Then you might ask why she didn't ask her own family?
Why didn't she ask? Not only were they all impatient, but they also wouldn't let her post videos.
She was told to stay home and cook or mop the floor, instead of doing all that messy, unsanitary stuff...
At once...
How did she give birth to two of these things?
The original owner sometimes found it hard to understand why her child, at such a young age, spoke so lecturingly.
Forget it, it's best not to mention those two wretches.
To avoid shortening one's own lifespan.
Going back further, Tong Dadan was the son of Tong Yu'an, the original owner's younger brother.
When I was a child, I blew up a latrine in town, snatched a child from a kidnapper with my classmates, and rescued a little beggar from out of town...
They're incredibly brave...
His parents couldn't do anything about it either.
That's how he got the nickname "Bold Tong".
After much deliberation, fearing retaliation, Tong Yu'an and his wife decided to move to the city to make a living.
As they grew older and their son's life became more comfortable, they returned to the small town.
The original owner's siblings didn't care about this.
It's better to come back now, as it's closer to my brothers and sisters.
The original owner was just hitching a ride on their renovation of the old house.
*
Logically speaking, since the original owner was living a prosperous life, there was no need for the tasker to come.
But in this world, a global pandemic will occur in three months.
The reason is that some foreign country next door fished out some "good stuff" from the glacier.
Who knows what kind of virus they might discover if it were on someone else?
Then they started conducting animal experiments: cats, dogs, monkeys, chimpanzees, mice, snakes, parrots...
It's unclear whether any research has yielded any results, but these animals carrying the virus were released into the research institute by a researcher who had gone mad from his experiments.
There's a saying that goes something like this: when a child says they need to poop, it means they've already peed in their pants.
Anyway, when ordinary people in the Western world found out about this, they were too busy hoarding goods.
The only saving grace is that the infected person will temporarily only experience photophobia, aversion to water, a decline in language ability, large flakes of skin shedding, and toe deformities.
The symptoms are completely different from those of animals released from the laboratory.
As for more serious cases in humans, they are probably all in Western laboratories.
Those damn foreigners even lamented that it would be great if they could experiment directly on people.
In addition to mania, red eyes, and premature aging, those animals also experience intermittent convulsions, hair loss, delirium, and rapid fluctuations in body temperature.
After coming into contact with nature, its infectivity has mutated several times, resulting in its current form.
Patients in various countries can only change their daily routines, staying awake during the day and active at night.
As for protective measures, they're better than nothing, I suppose.
This thing can infect you just by walking by; whether you're safe or not depends entirely on luck.
Those in the family who are not sick still have to keep going; those with jobs go to work, and those without jobs find odd jobs.
Hospitals are no longer admitting patients with mild symptoms...
Even when life was so difficult, the original owner's ex-husband and ungrateful children still couldn't resist making things worse for her.
She stayed up all night and dragged her sick ex-husband back to her house and dumped him in front of her door.
What a filial son!
Fortunately, there was the community to rely on. The original owner herself only had mild symptoms, so she simply showed the divorce certificate and agreement and pushed the person out.
...
The community couldn't agree to it, but there was nothing they could do. If people were just abandoned like this, the public order would be in complete chaos.
The only way for the town of Hedukou to contact the provincial capital was to have the local community urge the original owner's children to come and claim the person.
After all, some supplies need to be distributed by the community at this time.
They can still manage people.
The original owner's children could only sheepishly come to take him away in the end.
It's hard to say whether this old geezer will have a good time after being taken back.
If the old man is smart, he will know to look for a community center, since there are already shelters available for him to stay in at this point.
However, these were not things that the original owner cared about.
Her wish is that the mission takers will make the river crossing suitable for fish-people to live in.
Because this infectious disease eventually causes people to grow fish scales, a fish tail, and fish gills.
After that, they need to live in the water for a long time and absorb special substances from the sea.
In their past lives, they couldn't get plane or boat tickets to the beach, so they could only queue up every day to soak in the river.
I can't eat or sleep well, and my body is covered in chapped skin...
There are countless ordinary fishmen like them.
The reason they can survive in fresh water is because the Xia Kingdom has been making every effort to produce nutrient solutions and distribute them to ordinary people.
Grandma Tong Yuping lay in bed, her heart filled with bitterness. She realized she still couldn't be considered a human being in this world...
