Xu Nianzu's thoughts raced, and he couldn't help but recall the methods of the underworld he had heard of before, which made him even more certain of his current predicament.
Having weathered many storms himself, he forced himself to remain calm, hoping that someone outside might be able to rescue him.
During those dark days, Xu Nianzu couldn't help but reflect on most of his life and realized that he had also experienced many ups and downs.
His parents were sent-down youth to the countryside. His father died after his mother gave birth to him in the countryside.
Unexpectedly, the Xie family turned out to be his father's maternal family, not his main family. Fortunately, his great-uncle came and took him and his mother back to Haishi.
He was also the only son in his grandfather's family. Although his mother was a widow and raised him alone, his maternal family, the Xie family, took good care of him.
After his grandparents returned, his status rose even higher. Even the family his mother remarried into treated him with utmost respect and dared not neglect him.
However, he did not expect that his biological father was someone else.
That man was doing well in his official career, and his mother took him to meet him a few times, and the two sides re-established their relationship.
His biological father treated him very well, allowing him to experience a fatherly love he had never felt before.
Taking advantage of his position, that person gave him another identity: Xu Nianzu, the only son of the third branch of the Xu family, was registered on his household registration.
Later, he married and had children with both sides, and naturally, he returned to his original surname, Xu, since his parents had given him a great debt of gratitude.
As for his grandfather's wife not having children, he didn't care. Anyway, he had followed the Xie family name his whole life and never changed back to his original surname, so he figured his grandfather wouldn't have any objections.
Thinking about the past, Xu Nianzu closed his eyes drowsily.
"Xu Rongqing! This is the last time I'll give you money!"
Zhu Meihong handed over a wad of banknotes, some in small change and some in large bills, her heart bleeding. She never imagined that the person she had hired would be this kind of scoundrel!
Since Xie Ming, that sucker, stopped helping him out, this man doesn't even have a decent set of clothes.
After she confessed, he openly asked her for money and things. Now, she's the one who's been slept with for free and is being extorted.
Taking the money from the person opposite him, Xu Rongqing didn't even want to look at her; she was destined to die. Was it worth the trouble?
"When are you going to do what you've said? If you keep dragging this out, any experienced midwife will see through the deception!"
His constant evasiveness made Zhu Meihong very anxious, and now that she saw him about to leave, she quickly went up to stop him from going.
"What's the panic? Aren't you afraid that if the arrangements go wrong and we're exposed, I'll die too!"
Xu Rongqing glanced at Zhu Meihong with disdain. This woman was really impatient!
After the affair was exposed, she lost all sense of propriety and her mind was completely focused on how to get into another man's bed. How shameless!
Are you serious?
Zhu Meihong looked at him suspiciously. Knowing Xu Guoqing's character, she really couldn't believe it.
"Heh! If you don't believe me, then go try it yourself!"
"you!"
Zhu Hongmei was furious. She was now caught in a dilemma, completely controlled by others! If it weren't for Xie Ming, that big fish, dangling her from the hook, she would definitely have been ruthless enough to take the child and start over.
"Don't worry, I've arranged things pretty well. Just do as I say, and you'll have a good life ahead of you."
Xu Rongqing softened his voice, instantly calming the anxious Zhu Hongmei.
"Yes! That would be best!"
Swallowing her unease, Zhu Meihong saw someone walking towards them, so she quickly distanced herself and changed the subject.
Xu Nianzu, who had only been asleep for a short while, was jolted awake and heard the whole thing; the entire embryo trembled.
He had returned to the time when his mother was newly pregnant. Xu Nianzu, who had always thought he was imprisoned by some strange magic, had his whole brain buzzing.
However, considering that I've never suffered in most of my life, I feel that starting over isn't out of the question.
There were quite a few regrets, like the white moonlight of my junior high school days, the school doctor in high school, and the tough teacher in college...
There are too many people I've missed, and it always leaves me feeling regretful.
Fortunately, he later married a very beautiful woman from the Xu family; otherwise, his life would have been in vain.
If he could start over, he would never be an honest man again!
As for studying? Does he need to? Those things are already deeply ingrained in his mind. He just needs to focus on making up for his regrets later!
Xu Nianzu suddenly understood the meaning of being reborn.
Completely disregarding the fact that those wolfish parents plotted to drag innocent people down with them, Xie Ming's short-lived adoptive father was merely a stepping stone for him.
Xie Ming, who was at the Li family's house, hadn't been idle these past few days either. He went to town several times and finally got back the money that Lu Meixin owed him.
Xu Rongqing quickly returned 100 yuan because the village had been holding onto it; this money was what he had saved up from Xie Ming over the past few years.
As for the rest, he didn't have the money to repay, so Li Liangcai decided to use work points to offset it.
Xu Rongqing, penniless and destitute, was having a tough time, but he found Zhu Meihong to support him. After all, they were in the same boat!
While the two scoundrels were tormenting each other, Xu Rongqing still managed to find time amidst his busy schedule to plan his next move against Xie Ming.
That day, Wang Weiguo, the senior member of the educated youth settlement, came to see Xie Ming, saying that the settlement wanted to hold a symposium. Xie Ming knew it was definitely Xu Rongqing's scheme, so he readily agreed.
No sooner had Wang Weiguo left than Li's second son returned.
"Father, Mother! Father, Mother! I have good news for you!" Li Guowei shouted as soon as he entered the house.
No one in the house responded to him, except for the eldest son Li Guoding's wife, who politely called him "Second Uncle".
Li Guozhu wasn't embarrassed at all. Seeing Xie Ming's disdain, he said, "Why are you here again!"
A shoe suddenly hit Li Guowei on the head; it turned out to be the one that Li Liangcai had taken off.
