Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 1158 - 557: A Wonderful Fate

Since we talked about Chen Shun, Qin Huai couldn't help but ask a few more questions about Chen Shun's situation.

An Youyou couldn't say much either, as she put it, she wasn't familiar with Chen Shun.

It's a rare event for spirits to encounter their kind during Crossing Tribulation, but it's not completely impossible. Most of the time, such encounters are just passing by without any extra attention. A few well-off and kind spirits might offer a slight helping hand when they see their kind in dire situations, like the one that gave Qu Jing a sticky rice cake. Most either ignore or hold hostility.

The unpredictability of Crossing Tribulation spirits is high, and a few spirits possess great destructive power. Spirits like Luo Jun, who is a Bi fang, if in full bloom before failing Crossing Tribulation, most spirits would avoid him. A few not-too-bright Plant Spirits might approach him, let Bi fang spray them, and instantly succeed in Crossing Tribulation.

An Youyou and Chen Shun had interactions purely because it couldn't be avoided—They lived together, An Youyou was renting a house from Chen Shun's family, they had to interact.

Initially, An Youyou found Chen Shun quite displeasing, and it didn't change much later on because Chen Shun inherited all of An Youyou's estate.

"I was really annoyed by Chen Shun back then, I found him particularly pretentious."

"At that time, the Chen family was quite wealthy among farmers, and Chen Shun, due to having memories of his past life, was known far and wide as a prodigy. The Chen family relocated to Shanghai to facilitate his education. The whole family supported him, and his life was just too good."

"I later read and understood that Chen Shun was actually doing it for my good, but at that time I was just very unhappy. I was doing well asking for food, why insist on teaching me to read and write? What's the point of recognizing so many words? Knowing so many words can't help me with begging, moreover, Chen Shun and Jiang Weiguo's relationship was better than with mine. They would often unite to persuade me to learn a skill instead of begging."

"No, it should be Jiang Weiguo persuading me, Chen Shun pretended to stay neutral but actually sided with Jiang Weiguo." An Youyou became angry talking about this, "Clearly, I'm the spirit, his kind, but he supported Jiang Weiguo, that human, over me, a Three legged Golden Toad. Boss, don't you think he's too much?"

Qin Huai: ...

Qin Huai just thought Chen Shun was quite unlucky, encountering An Youyou, a talented but strangely ambitious student who sticks firmly to her ambitions.

"But I remember that your job in Jinling was found by Chen Shun." Qin Huai said, "That job should be quite good, right?"

"It was quite good, my accountant job was even better than the one Chen Shun found in Jinling, mostly because my employer was kind. Not only did they give a good monthly salary, but also frequently handed out bonuses, giving generous rewards every year-end, like year-end bonuses." An Youyou first affirmed Chen Shun's good-hearted act, then continued to express complaints, "But in the end, all the wages I saved for so many years went to him, he still profited."

Qin Huai: ...

"In those years, Jiang Weiguo would save one silver coin each month and send it to me every half year. Little Seven would occasionally send money too, what I gave him wasn't just my wages, but also my little brothers' wages, in the end, my little brothers became his little brothers, and I also became his little brother." An Youyou showed a sad expression.

For some reason, Qin Huai thought An Youyou, who had a bit of baby fat, and had gained some weight lately, looked like an angry toad.

Toad sad.

Toad angry.

"Boss, I'm really miserable, can you not take my Gift, I have no money."

"I'm now in my third life, lived quite long in the second, always working to earn money, also trying to inquire about Little Seven and the others, hoping to reconnect and gather 13 little brothers to revive our business in Shanghai."

"It's a pity I didn't save up enough money, only managed to gather some news but hadn't had time to find them, then died of pancreatitis."

"Alas, I didn't even spend all the money from my previous life, don't know who benefitted from it."

Qin Huai genuinely felt An Youyou was rather unlucky, who would have thought this was the life of a Three legged Golden Toad, diligently working, earning money earnestly, living frugally not daring to spend a penny, yet not forgetting to inquire about her previous life's little brothers just to return to her old ground to reclaim everything lost.

In the end, every lifetime she didn't get to spend her money, all benefiting estate inheritors.

"You even found Jiang Weiguo's news in your second life?" Qin Huai sighed, An Youyou was the only spirit Qin Huai had seen who, after failing Crossing Tribulation, went looking for past life's acquaintances in her second.

Of course, other spirits also have such thoughts, but conditions didn't allow.

Reincarnation was too quick, didn't live long enough to be able to go out and find people.

"Little Seven and Little Ninth didn't have names, I originally didn't have much hope. Jiang Weiguo's news was the easiest to find, I initially thought he would save enough money to return to Beiping and buy that Taifeng Building, in my second life, as soon as I saved some money, I bought a ticket to Beiping."

"In the end, Taifeng Building never opened, managed to find out his situation wasn't great either, hadn't saved enough money to buy a liquor house for so many years."

Qin Huai: Are you serious? Do you know how big that Taifeng Building is? How good the location is? How valuable it is?

"Then I returned to Shanghai, originally thinking that if Jiang Weiguo hadn't saved enough to buy a liquor house, he should be doing well in Shanghai, he cooked quite well after all."
