Li Min was a very proactive person, and he drove back to his hometown early the next morning.

Li's mother greeted him at the village entrance, but to her surprise, her son didn't even enter his own home after returning to the village; instead, he took her to the neighboring village.

"Minwazi, what are you doing?" The car stopped on the path behind the village, and Li's mother asked with a puzzled look.

"It's nothing, just that my distant cousin suddenly remembered the mother and child who were abandoned, and he felt incredibly guilty, so he asked me to give them some money," Li Min lied without batting an eye.

"Really!" Li's mother asked in surprise.

Li Min nodded calmly.

After being admitted to university, Wang Yang decisively abandoned his wife and children and went to the city, never to return.

But as reform and opening up progressed, people from the village who went to work in the city also brought news of him.

Some say he's a big boss, others say he went abroad; there are all sorts of rumors, but nobody has ever seen him.

His wife, with her child, waited for several years but eventually gave up and married a widowed carpenter, living a very poor life.

Because of poverty, that boy is in his mid-twenties and still can't find a wife.

Wang Yang, who was originally a college student, had a good impression on Li's mother.

But ever since he committed the heinous act of abandoning his wife and children, the old lady has always felt that she had misjudged him.

Now, hearing from her son that Wang Yang was preparing to give money to his wife and children, Li's mother felt that it was quite good, as it was some kind of compensation.

“That’s right! After all, they are our own children. Blood is thicker than water. How can we be so heartless?” Mother Li nodded in agreement.

Li Ming gave a dismissive "hmm." "Where does she live?"

Li's mother happily pointed in a direction, "It's right there!"

He added, "Even though you're going to deliver money, you have to choose a suitable time. If her man sees you, he'll definitely cause a huge uproar. Don't do something bad with good intentions and cause trouble for her."

Li Ming was only focused on bringing down Wang Yang as a pledge of allegiance to Zhang Mingyuan; he didn't care about the situation of others at all.

Li's mother's well-intentioned advice was like casting pearls before swine to him.

"Her husband has a bad temper?" Grasping the key point, Li Min immediately asked.

"That's right, her husband is a drunkard. He beats Lin Hong when he's drunk. She's a woman with a tragic fate!"

Older people tend to have a stronger sense of compassion, and as Li's mother spoke, tears began to stream down her face.

Li Min usually returns to his hometown on the same day and rarely stays overnight.

But this time he stayed home for a whole week.

Li Min is going all out to repair his relationship with Zhang Mingyuan this time.

Adhering to the principle of striking at the snake's vital point, Li Min tailored a completely new fighting style for Wang Yang based on his weaknesses.

Wang Yang, a college student, is naturally different from Li Min, who is adept at finding connections and securing projects.

He became famous mainly because of his pretty face.

Because of his good looks and his status as a rare college student at the time, Wang Yang easily seduced the only daughter of a coal mine owner and became her live-in son-in-law.

Wang Yang, who became the son-in-law of a wealthy and powerful father-in-law, started a company and became a boss, enjoying smooth sailing all the way.

Now they have a happy family and a fulfilling life.

Moreover, a happy event is about to take place: the son will marry the youngest daughter of an old entrepreneur in Jiangcheng.

Although they didn't know each other well, Mr. Li was certain that Wang Yang had never been honest about the fact that he was already married and had a son.

If his son could cause a scene at the wedding, that would be quite something...

Li Min has been busy with this matter these past few days. Knowing that Lin Hong's remarried man has a bad temper, he promptly sought him out.

The carpenter was a hot-tempered, rough man. When Li Min suggested that he take his wife and son to disrupt her ex-husband's wedding, he instantly turned red with anger.

"Damn it! Are you out of your mind? If you don't leave, I'll smash your brains out!" He clenched his fist, which was as big as a sandbag, and threatened fiercely.

Unexpectedly, Li Min was not afraid at all and sat down on his own. "Why are you so excited?" he said, patting his clothes.

This was blatant provocation. The carpenter lunged forward, grabbed Li Min by the collar, and roared, "Can't you understand human language! Want to get beaten up?"

Li Min, who works on construction sites, has a knack for dealing with this kind of person.

"I'll give you three thousand yuan as a reward after it's done," he said.

The carpenter immediately let go of her hand. "Really?" Such a wonderful thing has fallen from the sky?

“Of course, if you do a good job, I’ll add another two hundred yuan as a bonus,” Li Min said generously.

Under Li Min's financial persuasion, the carpenter immediately agreed and repeatedly promised to do a good job.

Li Min had thought he would agree, but he didn't expect the price to be negotiated so easily.

They're so short-sighted; they get all excited over the slightest benefit and can't even raise prices properly. No wonder they'll be poor their whole lives!

On the drive back to Jiangcheng, he still thought to himself with disdain.

Upon returning to Jiangcheng, Li Min immediately contacted Shen Shi and told him about his plan.

"Brother, you have to help me out. I've gone to such lengths, surely Mr. Li should trust me by now?" Li Min pleaded again.

Li Min's plan was the kind that was neither worth abandoning nor worth keeping.

Wang Yang is over forty years old. Wealthy people don't care much about private morality. Exposing his premarital scandals will only make him lose face and ruin his reputation, but it won't have any real impact.

But that's enough for Li Min. After all, the two are not in the same league. Can he really be expected to defeat Wang Yang?

"Don't worry, I will definitely get the message across."

Upon receiving Shen Shi's promise, Li Min was instantly in high spirits and invited him for a drink with a smile.

Shen refused, citing his wife's strict control.

"I never would have guessed, brother, that you're henpecked!" Li Min pointed at him and laughed heartily.

The term "henpecked husband" is quite interesting, and Shen Shi laughed when he heard it.

Chen Shi has been extremely busy lately. He needs to find people to renovate the club and purchase the necessary tools. One thing after another is keeping him on the edge of his seat.

No matter how busy she was, she couldn't forget her family. Ji Beiqing's 28th birthday was just around the corner, and Shen Shi considered it her top priority.

The day before her birthday, Shen ordered a cake by phone and went to the mall to buy a gift.

Ji Beiqing's birthday happened to be on the day of the Beginning of Summer. Shen Shi had planned to cook for her long time. In order to buy fresh ingredients, she got up early and went to the vegetable market.

"Young man, look how lively these fish are, want one?" the old lady greeted him warmly.

The fish splashed water as they swam, almost getting on my face.

"Okay, pick me a big one." Remembering that his wife loved to eat fish, Chen Shi said to the old lady.

"Alright!" The old lady picked up the net, scooped up the biggest one, and held it up for Chen Shi to see.

"This is it!" Shen Shi was very satisfied as he looked at the plump carp in front of him.

The farmers' market in the early morning is full of energy, and everyone coming and going is full of vitality.

Shen bought a large amount of duck, fish, and meat from his family, humming a little tune as he happily went home.
