Chapter 2833 A Good Man... my foot!
While I was thinking about the plot of "To Be a Better Man", that familiar voice came to mind again.

【Ding! 】

[This error was caused by a system bug from the last century; compensation will be provided to the host as compensation!]

What?
The imperial court's disaster relief grain has arrived!

Jiang Haokun suddenly sat up from the sofa, feeling as if a pie had fallen from the sky. When did his useless system become so humane?
There's also compensation!

There are three options!

[Existing assets doubled, original ailment cured, lifespan extended by 10 years.]

This…

Jiang Haokun's eyes showed some hesitation.

But the first thing to rule out is doubling one's wealth. This is the first time I've fought such a wealthy battle. I'm a domineering CEO who doesn't need to work hard after transmigrating. The actual standard of living I enjoy is about the same whether I have 30 billion or 60 billion.

Old Ma was right when he said that money really does become just a number when you have a certain amount of it. Besides, with the memories in my mind, it's not impossible to double or even triple the money in 2016. We can't waste this precious opportunity.

Extending one's lifespan by 10 years... well, let's just say that's not really relevant. Based on past experiences with rebirth, as long as you don't mess around recklessly, you can live a long time. An extra 10 or 8 years wouldn't make much difference.

Finally, all that remained was treating the hidden ailment, which was indeed quite important to Jiang Haokun.

Because an unpleasant memory suddenly flashed through my mind: the asthma medication was everywhere—in the living room, bedroom, study, and even the bathroom. Since the original owner's family was so wealthy, she must have enjoyed the best medical treatment. If even that couldn't cure her, then she would probably have to live with it for the rest of her life.

Therefore, treating hidden ailments is the most important thing.

As soon as Jiang Haokun made his choice, it felt as if he had been struck by an electric current, and he fainted from the pain...

I don't know how much time passed before I woke up.

"Phew~" I tried to breathe, and the tightness in my chest was indeed gone!
System-generated products are guaranteed to be of high quality!
Definitely a good review!

However, Jiang Haokun's good mood soon disappeared, mainly because of the TV series "To Be a Better Man," which begins with a car accident in the United States, far across the ocean.

The male lead, Lu Yuan, is an unemployed bum and a vagrant. Why is he called a scumbag?
Because he has never done a single good deed!
His special skills are alcoholism and gambling. He can never save his salary for the next month, and sometimes he even spends it all at the beginning of the month. The only reason he hasn't starved to death is because he has a good friend who loves him to death.

Peng Hai, I don't know if he lacks a son or what, he treats Lu Yuan with the same dedication he showed in the TV series "Soldiers Sortie," never abandoning or giving up on him. He raises his good brother like a son, he's practically a saint.

If it were his own children, that would be fine, but the problem is that he's just a complete stranger. Besides, Peng Hai isn't just his older brother; he also has a young daughter who's still nursing and needs money.

Normally, a chef in America is considered a skilled worker with a high income, but the Peng family was living very frugally because Peng Hai spent most of his salary supporting his "good man" (a term of endearment for a young man).

Normally, whenever Lu Yuan gets drunk, it's always Peng Da Shengmu who drives to pick him up, and nothing has ever happened before. But this time, I don't know if it's because of the butterfly effect, or if Peng Da Shengmu worked late last night.

BOOM! ! ! He died in a car accident.

The plot gets even more interesting later on; Peng Hai actually left a will, stating that if something were to happen to him, Lu Yuan should be his daughter's guardian. Seriously?!

The two are not related by blood. Isn't he being irresponsible towards his daughter, Peng Jiahe?

Lu Yuan's character is that of a scumbag. He's addicted to all sorts of vices, from eating and drinking to gambling and cheating. How could he possibly entrust his 17-year-old daughter to such a person?
Even brothers can't see into each other's hearts, and it's not uncommon for people to eat the offspring of those who have no descendants. If Lu Yuan were to cross the line of morality, Peng Jiahe would be like a lamb sent into a wolf's den.

So... are there really fathers like this in the world?
How few friends and relatives must a person have to be to find someone who is both a gambler and a prostitute to tutor their daughter?

Okay, even if in the story Peng Hai knows he feels guilty towards his mother on the mainland, having not taken care of her for so many years, and feels embarrassed to entrust the child to him!

What about distant relatives?

Where are my cousins?

We didn't just spring from a rock, we can't be completely without any relatives!
Peng Jiahe is 17!
In other words, she only needs to be cared for for less than a year. Once she comes of age, she can make a living on her own. Under such circumstances, any normal relatives and friends would probably be willing to help her out of respect for Peng Hai.
Ultimately, it's because he's a bad person!

This probably involves another key factor: those who went abroad all have one problem. They live the life of a lower class in America, but they still like to seek a sense of superiority in front of their relatives and friends!
Even if you fail in life and have no relatives or friends to entrust your child to, you can't entrust your child to someone like Lu Yuan!

Are you really that willing to gamble on his humanity?
What to do if you lose the bet?
Let's leave that aside for now, since it doesn't really concern Jiang Haokun. If he wants to push his daughter into a fire pit, and someone tries to dissuade him, they might get scolded.

The following plot involves Lu Yuan, a "good man," returning to China with his best friend's daughter.

Upon arriving in Shanghai, Mr. Good discovered that his best childhood friend, Jiang Haokun, was going to be with the woman he loved most, and in a fit of anger, he ruined the proposal ceremony.

At that moment, Gan Jing, who was about to marry into a wealthy family, had hatred in her eyes!
Why did you come back at this time? Why didn't you come back earlier or later?
So why do we say Lu Yuan is not a "good man"? Just look at all the things he has done. Can any of them be described as "good"?
He claimed he was accompanying his first love to study in the United States, but it was all a lie—"I'm poor, but I love you; I'd give anything for you."

Putting everything else aside, Lu Yuan truly lived up to that statement.

Because his girlfriend liked something but didn't have the money to buy it, he smashed the items in the shop window and stole them. He really adapted to local customs and cleanly and efficiently played the zero-dollar shopping game!

Because he wanted to become a chef but didn't have money to buy ingredients, he stole things like lobsters, abalone, and sea cucumbers from restaurants. When he got caught, he framed his friend Peng Hai for it.

He even burned down his boss's restaurant because of his alcoholism, which can be considered a form of retribution, as it caused him to lose his sense of taste and be unable to continue cooking.

In the end, he was imprisoned for accidentally injuring someone. Because he didn't want Gan Jing to know the truth, he begged his childhood friend not to tell anyone about his situation and asked his friend to take care of his girlfriend.

Is this something a normal person can do?
Your childhood friend is taking care of his girlfriend? Aren't you testing Sun Wukong with peaches?
Jiang Haokun refused to believe it. They had spent so much time together at the same school, how could Lu Yuan not know that the original owner of this body also liked Gan Jing?
It's obvious that he's deliberately showing off!
Or perhaps, deep down, Lu Yuan didn't respect this wealthy "brother."

They indulged in all sorts of vices, including eating, drinking, gambling, and prostitution, and were quick to resort to violence at the slightest provocation—they were even more thuggish than bandits themselves.

Burning down the boss's shop, smashing his childhood friend's mansion, and indirectly causing the death of his only friend—if this can still be called a "good man," then the world is full of good people and there are no bad guys.

"What the hell is this bad luck!" Jiang Haokun also curled his lip in anger. How could the original owner of this body, a perfectly good rich second-generation, make such bad friends at school? He didn't make a single decent friend!
To be continued...
