Chapter 5353【VIP】

The affairs of the Zhang brothers naturally had no impact on Xu Shanshan and her husband, but it was a pity for Xu Laoer from the countryside. He was forced by his later wife Zhang Cuihua to go to the nearby city to plead for mercy for his daughter at knifepoint.

Xu Laoer was overwhelmed. He said anxiously, "It won't help even if you chop me with a knife. My third daughter doesn't recognize me at all. Have you forgotten that when they came back to the village that year, they didn't even call me dad." Although he now has a leisurely and high-paying job thanks to his daughter, he knows in his heart that no matter how great the benefits are, he can't get them.

If he pushes the man too hard and Zhao Xiaohe stirs things up, won't his good days be over?

He is not stupid!

Nowadays, he is the only one in the whole village who lives a good life. He has no worries about food and drink, and people compliment him when he goes out.

So Zhang Cuihua couldn't force Xu Laoer at all even with a knife.

Hearing the commotion next door, Boss Xu called his son and Yang Dani over. A group of people restrained Zhang Cuihua and pulled her aside. Yang Dani frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you? How can you be a mother? Don't you think about your third child?"

"Your son is involved in a life-threatening situation, who would dare to intervene? You are also confused. You don't want to think about getting the money from your son's family as soon as possible. Be careful that your daughter-in-law runs away with the money. Pay the fine if you must, otherwise your son will have to stay in jail for even longer." Boss Xu said in a deep voice with a cold face.

If it weren't for Zhang Cuihua, the second son wouldn't have divorced Zhao Xiaohe. If they hadn't divorced, the children wouldn't have such a strained relationship with the second son.

In addition, in those years, Zhang Cuihua took advantage of the fact that she gave birth to a son and instigated the second son to go to his house and cause trouble, and Xu Lao Da disliked this step-sister-in-law more and more.

But after that previous encounter, Xu Laoer's behavior had changed. He had become much more tolerant, at least. Seeing that Zhang Cuihua had stopped making a fuss, he immediately said, "Sister-in-law, the most important thing now is to go to the prison to check on your two sons and see if there are any arrangements for them. And your grandson and granddaughter, do they need anyone to take care of them?"

"Dajun, accompany your aunt to the county." Then Boss Xu instructed his three sons to help Zhang Cuihua.

Zhang Cuihua wiped her tears. Someone had pointed her in the right direction, and she had some ideas. That same day, Xu Jun took Zhang Cuihua to the city, but unexpectedly, the houses of his two sons had also been sealed off. She then went to her in-laws' house, only to hear that the eldest and second sons had already divorced their wives.

Zhang Cuihua was surprised and asked, "Divorced? How can they get divorced when they already have a child?"

"What do you know? We've been divorced for three or four years. Okay, now that you're here, take the child away. My daughter is getting remarried, and it's not appropriate for her to take the child with her."

Before Zhang Cuihua could figure out what was going on, her grandson and granddaughter, with whom she had never been close, were stuffed into her arms. Xu Jun didn't understand what was going on either, so he took his aunt to visit the Zhang brothers in prison.

Zhang Cuihua was very upset and said, "You two fools, why are you getting a divorce? Now they don't even want the child anymore."

The Zhang brothers were about to say their mother didn't understand anything, but when they heard the words "Nowadays, people don't even want their children anymore," they immediately stood up and said, "Mom, what do you mean? What do you mean, they don't even want their children anymore?"

"What do you mean, your two good wives are going to remarry and don't want their sons or daughters anymore."

"Oh shit!"

The Zhang brothers were forcibly taken away for behaving unruly. Zhang Cuihua returned to the hotel crying, and was at a loss as to what to do.

At this time, the grandson and granddaughter were still arguing, mocking each other as unwanted children. It was also at this time that Zhang Cuihua learned that both daughters-in-law were going abroad, but one was going to the beautiful country and the other to the land of kangaroos.

When Xu Jun realized something was wrong and went to visit the Zhang brothers in prison again, he found out that they had tried to divorce to protect their property, but unfortunately, they ended up losing both their money and their lives.

Now the children can only follow Zhang Cuihua back to the village.

After returning home, Xu Jun was deeply touched and said, "I still have to be good to my wife." His wife Du Yanzi immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "Da Jun, buy me a pair of gold bracelets."

"Okay. Buy it!"

"And another gold necklace?"

"Okay. Buy it!"

"Where are the gold earrings?"

"Dream on, dreams can hold anything!"

"Hey, hey, hey, do you still want to buy the gold bracelet?"

"Buy it. Buy it tomorrow."

Du Yanzi happily turned over and hugged his arm and said, "Dajun, don't worry. If you go to jail, I promise to take good care of our Guo'er."

"Hey, you bastard, you're cursing me!"

"Hey, aren't I happy? Let me tell you, our Guo'er takes after the Xu family's daughter, and she'll be quite capable in the future. The second family's Minmin can never pass the exam better than Guo'er."

Xu Jun liked to hear this. There were three brothers in his family. The second oldest had a son, Xu Min, the third had a son, Xu Zhi, and he, the eldest, had a daughter, Xu Guo.

My parents used to be partial to Xu Guoke, but later on, because of us, they treat Xu Guoke better now.

He is not very promising, but his daughters are different, each one more capable than the other. His Xu Guo looks different, just like...

"That's right, we, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, remember to burn more paper money for our ancestors."

"Don't worry, I've never let your two brothers get past you in any year."

Husband.

Zhang Cuihua couldn't sleep at all. The money her son had worked hard for half his life was taken away by his daughters-in-law. This made her very angry, and she cursed both daughters-in-law every day at home.

But a few days later, someone gave her three more children, and Zhang Cuihua was completely at a loss for words.

It turns out the two Zhang brothers had been having affairs since they became wealthy, even secretly having children. Their wives knew all about it, but kept it a secret, feigning ignorance. Now that they were in trouble, they naturally left early. The love they had felt in the past had long since worn away amidst the repeated betrayals.

It was only natural to take the money and leave.

Zhang Cuihua suddenly had five grandchildren, plus her youngest son and third son, so she had to raise six children. She had no idea what to do.

Fortunately, Xu Laoer had a high salary thanks to his daughter's connections, and he could barely support his family of eight. But even so, their once affluent life became tight again, and his grandson, used to a good life, was always complaining about this and that, which also made Xu Laoer angry.

After all, the home, which had not been peaceful for several years, began to become noisy again.

Xu Laoer went to the factory to find some peace and quiet, then rubbed his face and said, "What's all this?" Is this really karma? When he was young, he was lazy and didn't take good care of his five daughters. Now he has to work himself to death to support five people with different surnames.

Thinking about it this way, Xu Laoer really felt that he had suffered a huge loss.

But he was just like Boss Xu. Having learned his lesson from what happened back then, he didn't dare to be too ruthless. Who knew if those five children would have a bright future?

Because of this reason, although Xu Laoer was dissatisfied, he still paid a lot of money.

But when I was alone, I couldn't help but sigh a few words. If I had known this would happen, he would definitely still treat his children well.

The two brothers of the Zhang family became rich back then, but they were not very filial to me. Now I have to raise their children. What a fate!

However, Zhang Cuihua, because she was supported by men, no longer had the arrogance of the past, and mostly tried to please Xu Lao Da and Yang Dani.

It's just that as people get older and experience more, their temperaments become more tolerant. Yang Dani even helps Zhang Cuihua take care of the five children from time to time.

However, there are benefits to these five children coming to Xu Laoer's house. At least the third child has become more sensible and is willing to put in the effort to read.

Xu Laoer touched his son's head and said, "Hongxia has gone to the capital to take the exam. You should study hard. If you become a successful person, I will give up my reputation and ask your five sisters to help you."

"Dad, if I do well in the exam, you won't have to rely on your sisters anymore. You rely on your son. He will support you and take you everywhere to play."

When Xu Lao Er heard his son's words, he burst into tears. In the evening, when he was drinking with Xu Lao Da, he was still moved and said, "Brother, sons are still the best. Look at my third son, he knows how hard I am."

"If I hadn't given birth to him, I would be no different from an old bachelor in the village now."

However, Boss Xu could not empathize with them because his three sons were all trying to find ways to take away their money.

"Second brother, you're lucky after all. To be honest, you haven't suffered much."

When Xu Laoer heard this, he realized it was true.

He relied on his parents when he was young, Zhao Xiaohe when he got married, and his daughter also helped him when he got old. He is indeed lucky!

The leaves rustled in the yard as the two brothers sat drinking wine, discussing the future and the past. Chickens scrambled for rice around the table legs, and the children chased each other, laughing and joking. Yang Dani ordered more snacks, while Zhang Cuihua brought in a large watermelon from the fields, also smiling.

The green mountains in the distance are reflected in the sunset, and they are all red.

Anyone passing by this house can't help but smile at the leisurely, warm and comfortable scene in the countryside.

And no one ever mentioned those bad things again.

......

The year Youyou started college, the internet had already started to circulate with rich lists. Xu Shanshan and her husband were among the top ten, a fixture in the city. Compared to Xu Shanshan's low profile, Fang Zhiwen was much more high-profile, appearing in magazines, receiving interviews, and even having accounts on social media and Weibo, though his updates were all about showing off their affection.

Xu Shanshan once glanced at him and felt her scalp tingling. She really didn't want to pay attention to him.

This person is really good at Chinese. His exaggeration gives me goosebumps. But Fang Zhiwen doesn't think he is exaggerating. In his opinion, Shanshan is just that good.

However, Fang Zhiwen angrily cancelled his account a few days later. Xu Shanshan was still puzzled, but Youyou whispered, "Dad sent you photos, and many people called you wife and sister. It made Dad very angry."

Xu Shanshan was confused, but it was a good thing that Fang Zhiwen disconnected the internet, so she didn't have to stay up late at night to surf the Internet.

On the other hand, Zhou Kai also saw Fang Zhiwen's posts showing off their love in the Internet cafe, and his already aggrieved heart became even more aggrieved.

That year, he fled south with the money. With just over 18,000 yuan, he lived a comfortable and affluent life. He even managed to make a fortune, but soon suffered another setback. After that, he remained down and out, but his desire to get rich never ceased.

Last month he borrowed money from a loan shark, thinking he would become rich, but he ended up being cheated by a Hong Kong businessman.

Nowadays, everything is connected to the Internet, and he was found every time he ran away.

That day he hid in an Internet cafe, using Shunlai's ID card to surf the Internet. Unexpectedly, he saw a post in which Fang Zhiwen showed off his affection.

In that instant, the injustice in his heart surged like a tide, drowning his mouth and nose, making it impossible for him to breathe. The overwhelming hatred made him lose his mind. As the old saying goes, the hatred for stealing a wife is irreconcilable. Fang Zhiwen had stolen Xu Shanshan, and he must retaliate.

His life is already rotten to the core, why do Fang Zhiwen and his wife still live a happy life?

Originally Xu Shanshan was his, and Fang Zhiwen's achievements should also be his.

He is a college student!

How had his life turned out like this? Zhou Kaigan ate instant noodles, his face gradually becoming distorted. The next day, he sneaked onto a green train back to Lincheng. While the conductor checked tickets, he hid in the toilet, trimming his beard.

The sound of the train arriving at the station came, and Zhou Kai returned to his hometown after many years. Listening to the dialect of the neighboring city, he hesitated for a moment, but only for a moment.

He didn't dare go home as he had no money, but he thought that if he met Xu Shanshan, he would have to pack up somehow.

Who is Fang Zhiwen? Isn’t he just lucky to be born into a good family?

That night, Zhou Kai, wearing a stocking over his head, robbed a young woman who lived alone. He then moved to another place, found a barber shop to get himself tidied up, and went to a big mall to buy a suit.

After finishing everything, he looked left and right in the full-length mirror in the mall, but he was dissatisfied with everything. He didn't like his eyes; they didn't have Fang Zhiwen's bright spirit. He didn't like his body; he didn't have Fang Zhiwen's straight back. He also didn't like his face; why was it so weathered?

Zhou Kai hated himself in the mirror, and transferred all this disgust to Fang Zhiwen.

He found a hotel to stay in and squatted in the bathroom to sharpen his knife.

After much investigation, Zhou Kai finally figured out Fang Zhiwen and Xu Shanshan's daily routine. They were truly a loving couple, turning everyone else's life upside down while living a fulfilling life themselves. Wherever they went, they were surrounded by celebrities, so impressive, so cool!

Zhou Kai bit his back teeth until they were broken. This was clearly the life he should have.

His life was snatched away by Fang Zhiwen!

......

It was a beautiful day, and it was also Xu Shanshan and Fang Zhiwen's wedding anniversary. Early in the morning, Fang Zhiwen hugged Xu Shanshan and said with emotion, "In our previous life, we had a fight on our anniversary because of Zhou Kai."

That Zhou Kai is still haunting him and always comes to mess up his plans.

Xu Shanshan said helplessly: "Why are you still talking about this person? Your eldest brother can't even find him."

The entire country is now connected to the internet, but Zhou Kai seems to have vanished from the face of the earth, impossible to find. Zhou Yun was also forced to divorce her husband because of what her brother did, and she hasn't even seen her children in all these years.

Fang Zhiwen was right, it was a disaster.

"Hey, maybe it's a psychological trauma from my past life. Whenever we have something good going on, he always comes out to ruin my mood."

"Shanshan, you look so beautiful today. When Youyou graduates, we'll hand over the stall to her and go out for a walk?" Fang Zhiwen felt uneasy. He hugged Xu Shanshan tightly in his arms, whispered in her ears for a while, and then suddenly had the idea of ​​retiring.

Xu Shanshan was used to this guy doing this from time to time, so she said unhappily, "Youyou is still young. We need to protect her. Otherwise, she alone won't be able to control the uncles and aunts in the factory."

"That's all I'm saying. By the way, my sister-in-law called me today and told me she has arrived safely in the United States."

Zimo from the Fangzheng family finally went to study in the United States, but his academic performance was not good enough to qualify for government funding, so his elder sister-in-law Zhang Meng paid for it herself, and his eldest cousin and his wife even had a fight over this.

But Zhang Meng is a person who is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. It can be seen from her decades-long search for Zi Yu that she is very persistent.

Initially, she simply drove a taxi around the nearby city, then traveled to nearby provinces, spending most of the year searching for people. However, she was capable, finding Ziyu, taking care of Zimo, and even building a career and accumulating wealth.

This time Zimo went to study abroad, and Zhang Meng followed him without looking back.

It was also at this time that Xu Shanshan and Fang Zhiwen learned that their eldest cousin had found out Zi Yu's whereabouts several years ago, but he didn't dare tell his eldest cousin's wife for fear of upsetting her.

The eldest cousin thought he was doing it for Zhang Meng's own good, but it only made her go hysterical. That day, she smashed everything in the house. Her voice was hoarse from crying, and she couldn't speak clearly for a long time. She cried so much that half of her face hurt. She hit herself so hard that she almost lost her life.

Fang Zheng was frightened by Zhang Meng's madness. For the first time, this man who thought he could withstand the collapse of the sky bent his knees.

He wanted to save the marriage, but Zhang Meng sneered and asked him, "You're always like this, always thinking you're right, always thinking it's all for my own good? You didn't help me when you should have, and you tried desperately to hide things from me when you shouldn't. Fang Zheng, look at me searching all over the world for my son, how can you remain indifferent?"

"Fang Zheng, you always say we are husband and wife? Are we? Really?"

"No, we're not. It's not like you can't leave me, you just don't want a divorce. Divorce would be so embarrassing. If the city bureau chief Fang Zheng gets divorced, how embarrassing would that be?"

"Haha, Fang Zheng, you make me feel like a joke? Do you understand?"

Zhang Meng threw away the divorce agreement, sold the villa company in the neighboring city, and resolutely went to the United States.

All of this was heard from Sun Yuemei when she came home crying.

Sun Yuemei hugged Peng Shuya and cried for half a day. She really didn't understand what sin she had committed. Why were her two sons' marriages so unhappy?

The eldest brother is getting a divorce when he is old.

The second son got married and divorced when he was young, and now he is still chasing after his ex-wife Zhu Zhu, which has become a big joke.

In Sun Yuemei's opinion, her two sons, one the director of a municipal bureau and the other a famous writer, should not live like this.

Sun Yuemei couldn't understand it at all, she just felt that her elder brother and sister-in-law's lives were worth it.

My son, daughter-in-law and their spouse love each other very much and have become successful people.

Now when she goes out and says she is Fang Zhiwen's aunt, most people will flatter her, not to mention her elder brother and sister-in-law, her biological parents.

Sun Yuemei is no longer as cunning as she was when she was young. She is eager to worship her daughter-in-law, and she visits Zhu Zhu from time to time to show her concern.

It's a pity that it didn't work.

The couple mentioned their eldest cousin's family, but when they went downstairs, they saw their aunt Sun Yuemei sitting on the sofa in the living room again.

Fang Zhiwen greeted her and asked, "Aunt, didn't you go to the square dance competition?" Why was he sitting at her house again?

Sun Yuemei snorted, "How can I even have the face to go out? Your two brothers combined aren't even half as good as you."

Fang Zhiwen leaned over to Xu Shanshan's ear and whispered, "No wonder you're so free."

"Aunt, please sit for a while, we are leaving."

"Where are you going at this hour? Aren't you going to eat at home?"

"No, today is Shanshan and I's wedding anniversary, so we won't be eating at home. Auntie, please sit down. We're leaving first."

"Let's go, let's go. I'll just talk to your mom. Oh, by the way, Shanshan, you have a good relationship with Zhu Zhu, so go back and persuade her to remarry your second brother. It's not a good idea to keep doing this."

Xu Shanshan just smiled and said nothing. The two of them changed their shoes at the door and left.

Sun Yuemei looked at the two people's backs and sighed, "This couple has a really good relationship. Their children are in college, and they still celebrate their wedding anniversary. Sister-in-law, do they celebrate it every year?"

Peng Shuya said with a smile, "They get along like children, they just love these rituals. Aren't young people like that nowadays? Valentine's Day, Chinese Valentine's Day, lunar birthdays, solar birthdays."

"That's true. When we were young, it was really not worth it. We promised others what festivals we hadn't celebrated yet." Halfway through her words, Sun Yuemei added, "After all, sister-in-law is not at a disadvantage. I remember that brother used to celebrate Qixi Festival with you. Do you still celebrate it now?"

Peng Shuya smiled and said, "If you remember, you can celebrate. If you don't remember, you can't celebrate."

Sun Yuemei was not satisfied and continued to ask, "Is there a time when you can't remember it?"

Peng Shuya smiled gently, then shook her head.

Sun Yuemei snorted, "I've finally figured it out. My two sons' unhappy marriages are simply because they haven't found a good father. They're both born of the same parents, but the difference between the eldest brother and that bastard in my family is huge."

The two sisters-in-law were talking when the property manager suddenly ran over and said, "Principal Peng, Principal Peng, this is terrible! Director Fang was stabbed?"

"What?" Sun Yuemei shrieked first, grabbing the property manager's arm and demanding, "What's going on? Where's your community security?"

The manager wiped his sweat and said, "No one's hurt, no one's hurt. Old Li from our security office is a veteran, and he immediately stopped the man with a safety pitchfork. But Director Fang was still frightened and fainted. President Xu just called an ambulance, and I just came here to tell you."

Upon hearing that his son was not in danger, Peng Shuya's face gradually regained its color. Sun Yuemei asked in surprise, "Who wants to harm my nephew? It's strange. Zhiwen and his wife usually do things well."

It’s not good to have too much money. Look, those who are looking for revenge have come to my doorstep.

"I don't know him. He has been taken away by the police station."

Peng Shuya thanked the property manager, took a taxi to the hospital, and called Xu Shanshan to ask about the situation. Even though she knew her son was not injured, her voice still trembled slightly.

"Shanshan, what happened? The property manager said they ran into some criminals?"

"Mom, it's not the criminal, it's Zhou Kai, it's Zhou Kai." Xu Shanshan held Fang Zhiwen's hand, her whole body trembling. She really wanted to tear Zhou Kai apart. How dare he?

It turned out that Zhou Kai had been following them for several days and finally decided to deal a heavy blow to them at the happiest moment of their lives. However, Zhou Kai underestimated the security guard of the high-end residential complex. Although he was full of resentment, his physical ability was obviously inferior.

In addition, due to his own confusion, the knife was originally directed at Xu Shanshan, but he finally changed his direction to stab Fang Zhiwen, which gave the security guard room to rescue him.

However, although Fang Zhiwen was not injured, he fainted for some reason and never woke up.

The 120 doctor said he was too frightened, but Xu Shanshan was still worried and decided to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up.

Sun Yuemei, who was in the car, also heard everything. She was stunned and said, "Zhou Kai? Who is this? That name sounds familiar."

"The son of a former Rainbow TV Factory employee talked to Shanshan about this when he was sent to the countryside as an educated youth."

Sun Yuemei immediately remembered what she had just heard, and straightened her back and said, "He, he, he, he, wasn't he the one who ran away with the money? He was even on the Lin City local TV station's news back then."

Peng Shuya nodded, and instead of continuing to talk to Sun Yuemei, she called Fang Yuanzhou and her in-laws.

Soon everyone gathered at the Provincial People's Hospital. Strangely, Fang Zhiwen had not woken up yet.

The chief physician performed various tests but could not figure out the cause, so he placed the patient in the ward.

Xu Shanshan held Fang Zhiwen's hand, tears streaming down her face, unwilling to part even for a moment. In the early morning, Youyou returned home on a night flight. She hugged her mother and said, "Mom, don't worry. Don't worry. Dad can't bear to leave you."

"He's so clingy, how could he bear to leave you so early."

Xu Shanshan said in a hoarse voice: "Youyou, what did your uncle say?"

"My uncle is checking Zhou Kai's criminal record and has arranged for him to be interrogated. My uncle said that people like Zhou Kai are definitely not innocent. Once the investigation is complete, he will definitely be dealt with according to the law."

"Tell your uncle that if all else fails, we can offer a reward for the investigation. Our family will cover all the expenses."

"Okay, I'll tell my uncle right away."

Fang Zhiwen was in a coma this time and it took him three days to wake up. When he woke up, he was still a little confused and his speech was incoherent and very confused, but he was even more attached to Xu Shanshan than before.

It is true that no one knows a father better than his daughter. Youyou is absolutely right.

"Are you really okay? He's in a coma for no reason. Why don't you check him again?" Fang Zhiwen was making a fuss about being discharged from the hospital, but Xu Shanshan was very worried.

"Don't worry, Shanshan, there's really no problem. I'll tell you when we get home. Now I have to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible, otherwise the company's stock price will continue to fall." Fang Zhiwen said as he secretly pinched the flesh on the inside of Xu Shanshan's arm and winked at her.

Xu Shanshan suddenly thought of something and whispered, "Could it be related to rebirth?"

"That's it. Let's go home and tell you in detail. Oh, yes, Ziyu is still alive. Let's call my sister-in-law right away."

"Zi Yu is still alive? Didn't big brother say he was dead?"

Fang Zhiwen rolled his eyes and said, "My eldest brother is a confused idiot. He probably just heard it from someone and didn't check it out."

"If that's the case, it wouldn't be a shame for my sister-in-law to divorce him!"
