Zhao Lianwei saw Widow Li's child running to her house early in the morning, and she frowned, feeling that it was bad luck.

Zhao Lianwei splashed the water from washing her face away, and seeing that Ding Haowen hadn't left, she said irritably.

"Hey, Li family brat, what's up?"

A strange look flashed in Ding Haowen's eyes, but a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Aunt Zhao, is Chen Jiayi home?"

Zhao Lianwei gave her a strange look. "What do you want with my Jiayi?"

Ding Haowen was somewhat excited, never expecting that he had actually been reborn.

In his previous life, he had a secure job for his entire life, and finally died.

I never expected to be reborn when I opened my eyes!

The first thing Ding Haowen did after being reborn was to find Chen Jiayi.

Ding Haowen composed himself, and his voice mellowed as he spoke.

Is Jiayi home? I want to ask her something.

Seeing that Ding Haowen didn't say what it was about, Zhao Lianwei didn't bother to ask further.

She said "Oh," and then added, "You're too late. Chen Jiayi was picked up last night."

"They've been picked up?"

Ding Haowen was taken aback. "Who picked her up?"

Zhao Lianwei was surprised that Ding Haowen kept asking, so she replied irritably.

"What's it to you?"

After Zhao Lianwei finished speaking, she took the basin and went home.

Zhao Lianwei didn't like the son of Widow Li very much.

Without a father to support the family, and with Widow Li having a bad temper, if Ding Haowen does anything to them, Widow Li will come over and start nagging again.

Ding Haowen stood at the door for a while but didn't see Chen Jiayi.

He was pale and completely dumbfounded.

Chen Jiayi was picked up by someone? Who picked her up?

Ding Haowen was somewhat incredulous!

Could it be that his rebirth brought about a butterfly effect?

Ding Haowen couldn't help but think...

.

In the city.

When Xu Cuihua saw Xu Lao Er return with a dark expression, she immediately realized that the person who had died was indeed Xu Li.

A faint glint flashed in Xu Cuihua's eyes.

Xu Li and Lao Chen are both dead. Lao Chen had no children, and his family's inheritance...

Xu Lao Er was in a very bad mood!

He never expected that his wife would die with Old Chen. If this got out, people would probably guess that he had been cuckolded.

Xu Lao Er was furious, and the sight of Xu Cuihua ignited his anger.

He cursed for a long time until the hospital staff couldn't stand it anymore and ganged up on Xu Lao Er, telling him to shut up because he was disturbing everyone.

Xu Lao Er glared fiercely at Xu Cuihua before falling silent.

Xu Cuihua asked calmly, "Dad, is Mom dead?"

Xu Lao Er was taken aback, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xu Cuihua's reaction was too calm; it didn't seem like a normal reaction to someone who was worried that her mother might be dead.

Xu Lao Er suddenly wondered what Xu Cuihua's reaction would be if he told her that his mother was gone.

"That's right, your mother, that bitch, went out to cheat on you with someone, and ended up dying in a car accident with your Uncle Chen."

After Xu Lao Er finished speaking, he kept his eyes fixed on his daughter's reaction.

Seeing that Xu Cuihua only hesitated for a moment before revealing the bombshell news.

"Dad, I saw Mom go to Uncle Chen's house while you were out. She came back with money on her, and she said she went to Uncle Chen's house to help with cleaning. Were they together at that time?"

Upon hearing Xu Cuihua's words, Xu Lao Er flew into a rage.

"Well, well, Xu Li! So you were already having an affair with that bastard Chen behind my back all this time!"

Xu Cuihua lowered her eyes, a hint of coldness flashing in them.

This is true; Xu Li did indeed have an affair with Lao Chen at that time.

Xu Cuihua revealed this information in an attempt to entrap law enforcement.

Seeing that Xu Lao Er was extremely angry, Xu Cuihua hesitated before speaking.

"Dad, I heard from the doctor that my brother seems to be dying and will be bedridden for the rest of his life. Not many people know that Chen... is dead yet. Why don't we go back now and take all of the Chen family's assets when no one is looking?"

Xu Lao Er hesitated for a moment, and Xu Cuihua immediately continued speaking.

“Dad, my brother will cost a lot of money in the future. Anyway, Uncle Chen wronged you. Since he's already gone, why don't we…”

Xu Lao Er understood Xu Cuihua's meaning, but Xu Youfu was his only son! So many years of father-son relationship, and now he was saying to give up treatment…

Xu Lao Er was naturally reluctant to part with it.

Xu Cuihua could tell what Xu Lao Er meant just by looking at his expression.

He looked very conflicted, and Xu Cuihua said it casually.

"That day I heard my mother say that Old Chen's safe combination was my mother's birthday, but I don't know if it's true or not."

Xu Lao Er, who had been hesitant, became angry upon hearing Xu Cuihua's words and decided to go back and take all of Lao Chen's property.

Everyone in the village knew that the Chen family was wealthy. When Xu Lao Er went back, he called a car to take Xu Youfu back with him.

The doctor said that Xu Youfu might never wake up again, and told his family to prepare for the worst as soon as possible.

But now Xu Lao Er is finding it hard to accept this fact!

When they arrived home, many people came over to ask for news.

Xu Lao Er didn't say that Xu Youfu would never wake up; he only said that the doctor told them to go home for treatment first.

He phrased it rather euphemistically, but the people around him weren't fools. They could basically guess what he meant.

Someone asked why they hadn't seen Xu Lao Er's mother return.

"Xu Lao Er, where's your wife?"

Xu Lao Er's expression was fine at first, but when he heard this question, his face suddenly darkened.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I wonder where they've died!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of those around them changed, and they exchanged glances.

Xu Lao Er kicked everyone out and prepared a small dish and some wine at home that evening.

He originally asked Xu Cuihua to cook, but Xu Cuihua went to work in the fields.

Xu Lao Er was out of sorts all day, constantly thinking about how that bitch Xu Li was having an affair with Lao Chen.

He had a few drinks that night and originally wanted to vent his anger on Xu Cuihua, but Xu Cuihua hadn't returned yet.

It was already dark, and Xu Lao Er, feeling quite drunk, decided to sneak into Lao Chen's house.

Old Chen keeps two large dogs at home to keep out thieves.

These two dogs are usually free-roaming. At first, Xu Lao Er was so scared by them that he would often take a detour. But after he got used to them, the two dogs would not bite him when they saw him.

Now that Xu Lao Er has entered Lao Chen's yard, the dog hasn't barked.

Xu Lao Er climbed inside and ransacked Lao Chen's house.

Finally, they found over 500 yuan in cash, several gold chains, and a valuable watch.

Xu Lao Er was overjoyed. He was about to leave when he saw a cabinet in Lao Chen's room.

He paused for a moment and realized that this cabinet was the safe that Xu Cuihua had mentioned.

Xu Lao Er originally thought that he could just get things done smoothly, but when he saw the safe, he couldn't help but think of what Xu Cuihua had said.

"That day I heard my mother say that Old Chen's safe combination was my mother's birthday, but I don't know if it's true or not."
