Because of the burden of the Xie family, Xie Junlan could not find a good family to marry into. She was almost thirty years old when a widower took a liking to her.
Everyone knows that the man isn't after her as a person, but rather that she has a job and her family is in dire straits and easy to manipulate. Furthermore, Xie's mother is in poor health and won't live for many more years, meaning most of her future earnings will go to her husband's family.
Xie Junlan went to meet the widower but didn't marry him, and remained single for the rest of her life.
When Xie Ming returned, he knew that his aunt had later developed feelings for his brother.
Because of the previous farce and the man's health issues, the two remained devoted to each other for the rest of their lives.
Like the other two, Xie Ming lived a miserable and lonely life into middle age, and was eventually taken away by an eye disease. He was only in his fifties when he passed away.
So when he got back, the first thing he did was to get his aunt to break up with her boyfriend, because the root of all the tragedies was that man.
Xie Junlan has a house in Chuyang City, got into university, and doesn't have any messy relatives, so she's really a great match.
So when she got into university, some people started targeting her.
That man was He Zhipeng, Xie Junlan's later boyfriend. He was an employee of a tobacco and alcohol company and his family was of very modest means. Compared to Xie Junlan, he was far inferior. However, he was good at getting along with people and quickly got together with Xie Junlan.
Later, He Zhipeng made a name for himself by taking advantage of Xie Ming, his powerful future "nephew," and even managed to become a minor leader in his workplace.
Xie Ming was also afraid that his identity would have a bad influence on his aunt, so he really "spoils" his future uncle.
Whenever he asked, Xie Ming would do his best to get it done, following in He Zhipeng's footsteps and cleaning up many messes.
It can be said that half of He Zhipeng's later success was due to Xie Ming.
I just didn't expect that even though the man had a girlfriend, he was still eyeing what was in the pot, and didn't appreciate the Xie family at all.
Xie Junlan became a junior high school teacher at Chuyang No. 2 Middle School after graduating from university. The two had been dating for many years and should have been planning to get married.
But He Zhipeng, having amassed a fortune, was unwilling to admit defeat and soon developed other ideas, hooking up with a woman named Lü Meina.
The woman worked at the grain depot and was the only daughter of a wealthy family in the city. Her parents also owned several building materials stores in the city. Looking around the small county, few families could match her family's economic conditions.
However, Lü Meina was extremely picky about her partner, refusing to accept anyone who wasn't good-looking. Even though he was two years older than He Zhipeng, she still couldn't find a suitable match.
As a result, she dragged it out and became an older single woman. After meeting He Zhipeng, she initially didn't have any romantic feelings for him.
But He Zhipeng was determined to seduce them, and the two developed feelings for each other amidst their ambiguous relationship.
Originally, the two were already together, and all He Zhipeng had to do was break up with Xie Junlan, and Xie Ming would beat him up and that would be the end of it.
But fearing that the thug Xie Ming wouldn't let him off the hook, he came up with a terrible idea.
He Zhipeng had a younger cousin who followed the Nanxing Gang, Xie Ming's arch-enemy. He instigated his cousin to go against Xie Ming, hoping to kill Xie Ming through a gang fight. Even if Xie Ming didn't die, he wanted to use the opportunity to suppress the Dongxing Gang.
As a result, he instigated the two major gangs to clash over a trivial matter, turning a small act of revenge into a major battle.
Xie Ming was unharmed in the fight, but two of his gang members were seriously injured because one of them was carrying a knife.
After all, it's a "gang" in a small county town, and even gang fights have rules. "Smuggling in" something like this is absolutely not allowed.
Having caused such a big incident, the Nanxing Gang naturally refused to admit their mistake and stubbornly sent the culprit out of the county town.
He Zhipeng, who often spent time with Xie Ming, knew the ins and outs of the matter. He predicted that the Xie family would be embroiled in lawsuits after someone brought a knife, and even found someone to encourage Xie Ming to harm himself as an apology.
The brainless Xie Ming was actually persuaded, resulting in an even greater tragedy.
He Zhipeng knew Xie Junlan well and knew that she would not easily leave the Xie family after Xie Ming's accident.
With the Xie family being such a burden, it's understandable that he wants to break up, so the Xie family can't find fault with him.
However, he never expected that Xie Ming would gouge out his own eyes, thus crippling his combat ability and eliminating all his worries.
After returning to this world, Xie Ming was also amused by his new self.
He didn't want to recall his glorious past. Fortunately, apart from fighting and loitering, he didn't lead his underlings to do anything heinous, otherwise he would have been unable to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Standing outside the bustling crowd, Xie Ming stroked his chin, pondering how to escape his current predicament.
After this bloody battle, the Dongxing Gang actually went to the Nanxing Gang to seek revenge, but without Xie Ming, that "madman," they suffered a crushing defeat.
After he was injured and embroiled in disputes, the gang's morale quickly crumbled.
The important thing is that the underlings know that without monetary income, relying solely on the support of gang members offers no "future."
Just like their arch-rivals, the "Southern Star Gang," who had ways to make money, they would quickly help a few brothers escape after a bloody fight and settle things with the authorities. The speed at which they made money and their arrogant demeanor made everyone in the gang extremely envious.
Driven by their lack of money, many of them later chose to engage in certain gray-area "high-risk" professions, which completely tarnished the reputation of the Dongxing Gang.
Just as he was pondering this, Xie Junlan finally squeezed out of the crowd, covered in sweat, and anxiously asked him, "Mingming! What's the matter that's so urgent? Did you do something again?"
Several days have passed since the fight, but Xie Ming is still keeping it a secret. However, he probably can't keep such a big thing hidden for long.
"Auntie, let me take you somewhere."
