Good Man Operation Guide

When Lin Jiu’er was 15 years old, Miss Fang gave birth. Before he and Mother Fang celebrated, Miss Fang’s husband, who had been abroad and didn’t return often, announced that he would divorce her peacefully. He said that he and Miss Fang were in an arranged marriage, which wasn’t what he wanted. He despised the concubinage of feudal society, and what he wanted was monogamy. Therefore, for the sake of true love, Miss Fang, a lady of feudal society, naturally could no longer occupy the position of his wife.

This matter was the last straw for the already precarious Fang family. They were already struggling to sustain themselves. Now, although there are new laws everywhere, many young ladies refuse to accept their parents’ arranged marriage. But in many people’s eyes, divorce was divorce. Not to mention that Miss Fang had given birth to a child, she would also go back to her family in the future. Even if her family loved her, she would be mocked wherever she went.

Mother Fang nearly died out of shock upon hearing the news. Lin Jiu’er, who had grown up to the age of 15, could only take care of Mother Fang while sending someone to pick up Miss Fang. But even though he took good care of it, Mother Fang was still short of breath. When she saw her daughter, who was beautiful as flowers and pure as jade, now looking miserable and haggard, she became very ill and died within 2 months.

Miss Fang had just finished giving birth to a baby, but before the confinement period was over, she had already left home, and her whole person was muddled. She was finally able to recover a little and learned about her mother’s bad news. Because her month of confinement wasn’t properly done, her lower body was still bleeding. When she was stimulated again, she bled a lot that night. Even after Lin Jiu’er personally ran to get the best doctors in the middle of the night, they still couldn’t save her life.

(TNote: Month of confinement = the first month after giving birth where a woman should be properly taken care of. It is called confinement because the woman shouldn’t move around or get out of bed too much.)

For Lin Jiu’er, Mother Fang was his mother, and Miss Fang was his sister. In less than half a year, both mother and sister died because of this ungrateful person. How could he not hate it?

Lin Jiu’er’s literary skills weren’t very good, and he was still young. Although he had some contacts, they were only left behind by Father Fang. He buried Mother Fang and Miss Fang, and then sold the business left to him by the dying Mother Fang, took the money, and disappeared into the city.

When he reappeared, he was already working for the puppet-government at that time.

(TNote: puppet government = was a Chinese puppet state created by Japan that existed from 1938 to 1940 during the Second Sino-Japanese War.)

He was ruthless. Because his nickname hadn’t been called for a long time, he changed his name to Lin Jiu. Regardless of how others talk, he acted resolutely, and he took up the reputation of being a traitor. While being targeted for assassinations numerous times, he stepped up to a high position.

After that, he finally caught the opportunity to kill Miss Fang’s husband with his own hands.

At that time, the man already had a wife. They were a well-known loving husband and wife. The husband and wife were gifted, talented and beautiful, and had children. They were very compatible. But the more so, the more Lin Jiu’er hater them.

Back on that day, when they went to pick up Miss Fang, they wanted to bring the child born from Miss Fang back. However, they were rejected by the other party, saying that this was Zhou’s flesh and blood, and it was only natural for the baby to be raised by the Zhou’s family. At that time, Miss Fang knew that her maiden family had declined, and she was disheartened. Thus, she agreed.

She thought it would be better for her child to stay in his biological father’s home, but who ever thought that the bastard and the new lover’s children were each raised with a brilliant reputation, but the son of the original spouse was left out since childhood. Whether it was studying, or doing something else, there was no one to take care of him, and he was brought up into a timid child.

He killed Miss Fang’s husband, and quietly went to see the child. He happened to see that he was sad and alone after being looked down upon by his brothers and sisters. The boy had no money to buy ink when he wanted to write. Seeing the face that looked very similar to Miss Fang’s, he simply wanted to take this precious child away to raise.

Unfortunately, his hands were covered with blood. He had killed good people who were dedicated to his country and harmed innocent people. Looking back, he didn’t even recognize himself anymore.

Lin Jiu’er, who originally thought of taking revenge and then killing himself with a bullet, changed his mind. He used his contacts and accumulated wealth over the years to send the child abroad, and made sure that the boy could live a happy life even if he didn’t do anything for a lifetime. He then handed the information at hand to the Chinese and killed himself with a bullet.

He knew that even if he had given those things to the genuine people of China, he would atone for their sins, but how could there be such a simple redemption? He had been a wicked man for so many years, and had hurt people. He clearly knew that he was a traitor.

This guilt couldn’t be washed off. What’s more, he was too tired of living.

If he had a second chance, he wanted to marry Miss Fang. Even if there was no love between husband and wife, it was better for them to support each other and he would take care of her all her life rather than let her meet such a bastard.

[Ding! This small world mission: Save Mother Fang, marry Miss Fang, and stand on the right side of China’s history.]

Lin Shiheng closed the book in his hand.

[Why didn’t he turn himself in instead? Didn’t the information he turned in play a decisive role in saving a lot of Chinese? According to the rules, this would be considered a meritorious act. He could be given a chance to start over.]

[The rules allowed him to redeem himself. However, he himself doesn’t think he deserves it, and he doesn’t think he has the ability to do so.]

That’s true. Lin Jiu’er could make a name for himself by being a traitor, who could fight hard and endure abuse. He knew that those people were willing to use him because he was ruthless enough, but if he wanted to give Mother Fang Mu and Miss Fang a stable life, being ruthless was far from enough.

[If Host doesn’t want to accept, you can refuse this task.]

[No need.]

Lin Shiheng looked out the window at the bare tree. [I’ll take it.]

It was winter. According to the point in time, it was when the young miss, Fang Licheng, of the Fang family had just given birth to a child, only to learn that her husband wanted to divorce her.

Fang Licheng is now 20 years old and has been married for 5 years. She should have been pregnant long ago, but her husband Shen Yun was always abroad all the year round, and even if he came back, he would leave after a short stay. Because of that, it took so long before Fang Licheng got pregnant.

Since she was pregnant, she wrote to her husband, thinking how he should come back to visit, but he didn’t come back until she gave birth. When the baby was born, he came back, but he then announced the divorce. Naturally, this shock couldn’t have been small.

While thinking about his future actions, a plainly dressed momo lifted the curtain outside and came in. Seeing Lin Shiheng, who was supposed to be reading, staring out the window, she came forward and said, “Brother Heng is thinking about Sister Cheng? Counting the days, it’s almost time to give birth. But in the end, there are still outside men in that house. As a woman, I can’t go over to take care of her.”

(TNote: Momo/Mama = an older servant of a noble family, usually a confidante of the madam.)

Lin Shiheng smiled, just as the old momo remembered. “Aunt Shen has always loved Sister and will take good care of her. But happy news hasn’t been sent over, and my heart is a bit unsettled.”

“Who said otherwise? Sister Cheng’s is also someone I watched grow up. It’s amazing that she’s about to have a baby. She doesn’t have her mother’s family around to protect her, and this is her first child. I can’t help but feel anxious too. I’m afraid Madam is thinking about Sister Cheng. She only ate a little of today’s meal. Her appetite was smaller than the sparrows in the yard.”

“Auntie loves Sister, it’s normal to be worried.”

Lin Shiheng stood up after hearing this, with some concern in his eyes, “Aunt Shen had never been in good health, and the doctor told her to take care of herself. No matter how worried she is, she shouldn’t ruin her body.”

“We have also tried to persuade her to eat better. But Brother Heng knows, Madam is upset right now. How could she listen to advice?”

The old woman was bought by the Fang family as a maid since childhood, and served the Fang family for so many years. Although the state later announced the abolition of slavery, Mother Fang was kind and gave her money to go to her home, but she was reluctant to leave Mother Fang who treated her well. She simply signed a contract with the Fang family, and still came to work at Fang’s house, and didn’t change her old name.

When she looked at Mother Fang, she still looked at her as if she was seeing her master, just like the young maid at the beginning. She was worried that her body would collapse, and she was also worried that something would go wrong when the little master was being born. Now she saw that Lin Shiheng was also worried, and her heart moved. She said, “Brother Heng, why don’t you go and try to persuade her? Madam will only listen to you these days.”

Lin Shiheng nodded, “I’ll go now, thank you for reminding me “

He quickly got up and walked towards the main room. Along the way he saw many people working in the Fang family. When they saw him, they all saluted and called him Brother Heng.

The Fang family’s decline was in contrast with the past, but in the end, the foundation was still there, and it was still much better than ordinary people. However, Mother Fang was accustomed to the former glory, and because of her own decline, she was no longer at the same level as her friends in the circle. Her heart was depressed, so her body hasn’t been well.

All the way through, the courtyard view was shining on this winter day. Lin Shiheng, however, couldn’t be bothered to look at it as he went all the way to the main room, where he saw that Mother Fang was absentmindedly embroidering.
