Enduring the pain, Shi Jianguo clutched his stomach and hurried home. Fortunately, he was quick. As soon as he entered the yard, dense raindrops fell from the sky like beans being sieved, splashing dust on the ground and bringing a timely downpour to the small mountain village that had not seen any rain for many days.

He came to the eaves of the main house panting, and his stomach started to cramp again. He wanted to call for help but couldn't make a sound. He bent over, holding the earthen wall with one hand and covering his stomach with the other.

But at this moment, two voices were speaking through the window, which was only separated by a layer of plastic sheeting. One of them was a bit sarcastic and howled...

"This third child is an ungrateful bastard, with a temper like a donkey! I should have known better than to bring him back. I should have thrown him into the ravine to feed the wolves..."

"It was you who not only took the 200 yuan, but also thought that if you really claimed it later, it would definitely be another batch of money. Now look what happened, eight years later, and still no one has come to claim it. I guess you looked so desperate at the time that you never even left that mountain area..."

"I've noticed she's quite generous, and even though it's worn out, the material is obviously good. And do you remember that jade pendant? It's obviously not an ordinary item. She said she'd claim it later, but that woman is still thinking about the future..."

"I think I should sell the jade pendant when I get the chance, to avoid any more trouble in the future..."

"I thought so too, but that woman was carrying a gun. She must be from the military, the police, or even a secret agent. What if she comes looking for me..."

"This won't do, that won't do. Keeping such an ungrateful kid around every day is a waste of food for me, and it's also a waste of money to support his education. I should just let him drop out and go home to work..."

The two people in the room had no idea that they had not mentioned this matter for a long time, but this time it was heard by the "party involved". It might also be that the heavy rain outside blinded their sight and hearing, so naturally something happened.

Shi Jianguo was completely stunned. The home he had lived in since childhood was no longer his own, and the people who provided him with food and clothing were not his own parents. He was just an adopted child.

I originally thought that his parents were strict and majestic, but now they suddenly became ferocious. I originally thought that the beatings and scoldings were to educate him, but now I realized that they were just cruel and ruthless.

He took other people's money but didn't want to do anything about it, and even thought about using it to exchange for future wealth...

In an instant, his once cheerful personality darkened, and he began to reflect, compare, and reminisce. His heart gradually drifted away from this family...

From then on, "Shi Jianguo" became more stubborn, obstinate, independent and lonely, as if he was isolated from this family.

After a while, he even stubbornly changed his name. From then on, "Shi Jianguo" disappeared, and the new Shi Peng only thought about leaving this home.

Another ten years later, he signed up for the army without telling his so-called family.

Just because he wanted to find some clues about his real relatives, he was still friendly to this family on the surface, but he was slowly getting out of their control.

Looking at the man in front of her, whose eyes were already filled with tears, Chu Xi couldn't help but hold him in her arms. He too had a miserable childhood...

However, compared with their own experiences in the end times, the two of them are truly wanderers in the world.

After a long time, Shi Peng finally struggled to break free from Chu Xi's arms.

"So, I want to go back to Shijia Village tomorrow to ask for clues about my family. I also need to get that jade pendant back. Even if it means breaking up this time, I'm going to get to the bottom of this..."

Suddenly, Chu Xi's heart moved, and she suddenly laughed, and her laugh was a little "malicious".

She recalled that during her several raids on the Shi family's old house in retaliation, she seemed to have "collected" one or two pieces of jade?

"Wait a moment..."

Before he could finish his words, he had already rushed into the master bedroom.
