Transmigrated into a deeply affectionate male supporting role in a period novel - Chapter 1

When Zhao Lihui woke up, he felt dizzy. He used all his strength to open his eyes, wanting to know which bastard didn’t look at the traffic light, which sent him flying!

But when he opened his eyes and saw the simple mud-tile roof and the woman next to him making surprised sounds, his mind was a little confused.

“The third child is awake! His father, go get Doctor Zhang!”

The woman was so happy that tears came to her eyes, and the middle-aged man next to her rushed out like a gust of wind.

The third one? Who is the third one?

He is an orphan.

“Who are you?”

Zhao Lihui asked with a frown.

When Chen Cuifang saw her little son looking at her with confusion and vigilance, and asking who she was, she felt a sharp pain in her head.

“Doctor Zhang! Doctor Zhang! My third child seems to have been hit and become stupid!”

Chen Cuifang ran out, crying.

Zhao Lihui: …

He took a deep breath and used all his strength to push himself up and sit up. After looking around, he felt something was wrong even more.

Where is this hospital? Why are the conditions so poor?

The reason I recognized it was a hospital, besides the smell of disinfectant, was the huge words on the quilt: First People’s Hospital.

In fact, there should be two more words in front of it. Maybe because they have been used for a long time, those two words have become blurred and missing parts, and he has no idea what they mean.

“Doctor Zhang, you must check his brain. I don’t know if he hit his head. He doesn’t recognize me! I am his biological mother!”

Zhao Lihui, who was grabbing the quilt and looking around, saw several people rushing in.

After hearing this, he shouted, “What biological mother? I’m an orphan!”

“Stupid! Look, he is really stupid!”

Chen Cuifang slapped her thigh and burst into tears upon hearing this. Zhao Dagen, who was standing beside her, also had red eyes and looked at him sadly. “My son…”

Zhao Lihui: ???

Something’s wrong, everything’s wrong!

He was in the most prosperous city. Even if he was unlucky enough to be hit by an idiot, he couldn’t be sent to a hospital like this… No, wasn’t he hit by an idiot?

Zhao Lihui ignored the three people who were staring at him. He lowered his head, touched his arm, his head, and then his body. Finally, he came to the conclusion that, except for a slight pain in his head, there was no major problem with the rest of his body!

This shouldn’t be the case. When he was injured, he clearly heard the sound of his bones breaking. What was going on?

“Comrade Zhao, don’t get excited. Let me check the back of your head,” Doctor Zhang said soothingly in a gentle voice.

Zhao Lihui sat there in a daze, allowing the other party to examine him.

Comrade? Is that still the way to address people nowadays?

“How is it, Doctor Zhang? Is our Lihui really stupid?”

Chen Cuifang asked nervously.

Zhao Dagen, next to him, also looked at Doctor Zhang eagerly.

“There are no signs of external trauma, but since he was pushed to the ground and hit his head, there is a possibility that his brain was severely damaged. I need further examination.”

Doctor Zhang said.

Lihui… got pushed down and hit his head… The hospital was so backward, and the middle-aged couple wore old clothes with patches on them except for their white coats…

Zhao Lihui swallowed his saliva and suddenly asked, “What year is it now?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Cuifang and her husband sobbed even louder.

Doctor Zhang: “… In the spring of 1975, this was Huaishan No. 1 People’s Hospital. This is your father, Zhao Dagen, and this is your mother, Chen Cuifang. Comrade Zhao Lihui, do you have any impression of me?”

Zhao Lihui: …Aren’t these the names of the parents of the affectionate second male lead who has the same name as him in the period novel he cursed?

Zhao Lihui coughed lightly and looked at the couple who were sobbing.

“Do I have an older brother and a younger sister?”

“Yeah, yeah! Do you remember?”

Chen Cuifang wiped away her tears and said so happily.

Zhao Dagen also stopped crying and came closer: “What do you remember?”

“My eldest brother went to the countryside to become an educated youth five years ago. My second sister married Liu Xiangyi, who works as a boiler operator in a steel factory and has a problem with his right leg, last year.”

Because the name of the affectionate male second is exactly the same as his own, Zhao Lihui read the plot related to the male second carefully and seriously, based on the joke that he was afraid of being transmigrated into a book if he didn’t memorize the whole text, so he remembered his family situation clearly.

“That’s right!”

Chen Cuifang smiled widely: “What do you remember? Do you know who pushed you down?”

“It’s Sun Dajiang!”

Zhao Lihui, who was sure that he was in a book, shouted, “He wanted to steal my movie ticket! I refused to give it to him, so he pushed me to the ground while I wasn’t paying attention and then stole my movie ticket!”

Sun Dajiang, the elder brother of the heroine Sun Baozhu, is neither high nor low and has been living with his parents at home.

He looked down upon the original owner, but the original owner was a big bootlicker, bootlicking Sun Baozhu’s entire family. This time, the original owner had finally gotten a movie ticket and wanted to take Sun Baozhu to see a movie, but when Sun Dajiang found out, he wanted to use the movie ticket to take the girl he liked to see the movie.

After the original owner declined, Sun Dajiang, who was furious, pushed him to the ground, snatched his ticket, and ran away. The original owner, who fainted, was sent to the hospital by a kind-hearted person, and his family was notified. After the original owner was discharged from the hospital, Sun Baozhu was the first to visit him, one to see how badly he was injured, and the other to ask him not to pursue the matter further.

The original owner… Of course, the original owner agreed and just swallowed this loss.

At that time, Zhao Lihui wrote a thousand words of abusive language under that chapter, but it was later reported and deleted by the website administrator.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lihui’s anger, which had not yet been completely calmed down, rose again. “He robbed me! Robbed me! I’m going to call the police!”

The three of them didn’t quite understand the word “call the police”, but they understood the meaning.

“This Sun Dajiang is simply outrageous! We need to find someone from the police station to give him a good beating!”

Chen Cuifang has always been a protective person, so Zhao Dagen, next to her, turned around and left.

“Where are you going, dad?”

“Go to the police station!”

Zhao Dagen felt sorry for his son and went to the police station angrily.

“Go quickly and come back soon!”

Chen Cuifang said it loudly.

Zhao Lihui blinked when he saw this scene, and when Doctor Zhang asked him to follow him to do some head examinations, he followed without saying a word.

After the examination, Chen Cuifang insisted on helping him go back to the ward to lie down, and Zhao Lihui did so quietly. He was an orphan, and he had seen many things and many people since he was a child, but he had seldom felt such care and love.

“Go to sleep if you want. Mom will watch over you.”

After feeding him some water, Chen Cuifang spoke softly when she saw that he seemed very sleepy.

Zhao Lihui slowly fell asleep to such sounds. In his dream, he saw a young man who looked exactly like himself.

[I saw my own end. Not only did I lose the pearl, but I also implicated my family. I am not worthy of being a son or a brother. I am too weak to live anymore. Since you have come and become me, then I am you… Thank you.]

Zhao Lihui watched the other person disappear in front of his eyes like a flash of light.

Thinking of the original story, the original owner did many wrong things for the heroine, even violating human ethics, and in the end, his father died of illness, his mother died of anger, his eldest brother was implicated and had to drop out of the university he had finally entered, and his second sister was bullied and looked down upon by her in-laws because of the ugly things he did, and she got depressed during the confinement period and committed suicide by jumping off a building.

When he woke up again, Zhao Lihui felt that his head didn’t hurt anymore, but he pretended to be in pain.

Thinking that Zhao Dagen had woken up, two comrades from the police station were invited. When they saw that he looked uncomfortable, they both had serious expressions. Doctor Zhang was invited over to check on him.

“Not only does my head hurt, but my chest also feels stuffy. I want to vomit, but I can’t.” Zhao Lihui looked so pitiful that Chen Cuifang and her husband felt very distressed.

“It could be a concussion, which is no small matter.” Doctor Zhang was an old doctor, and he could tell at a glance that some people were talking nonsense, but he also knew the other party’s purpose, so he just went along with what he said.

“My poor child,” Chen Cuifang wiped her tears and said to the two police officers, “Sun Dajiang is a well-known scoundrel in our alley. He is only 22 years old, lazy, and idle. He bullies younger people every day. This time, he actually hit my son so hard! You must seek justice for my son!”

“Yes, comrades. My son is usually very honest. He never causes trouble. It was Sun Dajiang who saw that my son had movie tickets. Not only did he try to snatch them away, but he also pushed him down! If it weren’t for the kind-hearted people passing by who sent my son to the hospital, I don’t know how long he would have been lying on the ground, and who knows what would have happened to his brain!”

Zhao Dagen, who is usually taciturn accused with red eyes.

“Comrade Zhao Lihui, please tell us the whole story in detail and truthfully. Don’t worry, we will handle it fairly.”

“It’s like this.” Zhao Lihui took two breaths and sat up with Zhao Dagen’s hand. “I asked someone to get me a movie ticket for Shan Hua Girl. I hadn’t walked a few steps when I was stopped by Sun Dajiang. He first asked me to give him the movie ticket unreasonably. I’m not a fool, so of course I didn’t want to. But we all live in the same alley, and his sister, Sun Baozhu, and I were classmates before. We’ll see each other sooner or later, so I politely declined.”

“But he refused to give in and started to snatch the tickets! He is tall and strong, and I am tall but skinny, so I am no match for him,” Zhao Lihui sighed. “I never expected that he would kill me just for a movie ticket. Not only did he push me down, he also kicked me hard.”

As he spoke, Zhao Lihui pulled up his clothes and let them look at his waist, which was white and tender without any marks.

When the two comrades were puzzled, Zhao Lihui said, “After he kicked me, he proudly told me that he had experience beating people. I couldn’t see any marks after he kicked me. I just felt the pain, but I have no evidence.”

After saying that, he lowered his head with a look of bewilderment.

Seeing this, the two comrades from the police station felt a bit of sympathy.

After they left, Chen Cuifang was distressed and wanted to find Dr. Zhang to check his waist again, but Zhao Lihui stopped her. “It’s okay; it doesn’t hurt anymore, Dad, Mom. I hit my head, and I can’t remember a lot of things, but it’s not important. What’s important is that I figured out a lot of things.”

“My eldest brother has been working in the countryside, and I don’t know when he will be able to return to the city. My second sister is already married and has a lot of things to do at her in-laws’ house, so she doesn’t come home often. I am the only child in the family. If I can’t stand up on my own and get bullied by people like Sun Dajiang, how can I support a family? How can I take care of you? So I decided that from now on, I would not be myself. I am the reborn Zhao Lihui! No one can bully me or my family!”

The couple were so moved to see their youngest son grow up so quickly that they did not doubt that their son had changed.
