In the Northwest Prison, Zheng Jun received an apology letter from a fellow inmate and could only manage a bitter smile.
He was imprisoned and deprived of his freedom, unable to do whatever he wanted.
His fellow inmate, who had shown him gratitude, had helped him so much after his release and even revealed the truth about his murder. He should be content with that, shouldn't he?
That's right, the letter he received was written by his former cellmate who had helped him investigate the truth and find Yu Huimin after he was released from prison.
The other party apologized, saying that they could no longer help him and needed to return to their hometown to support their family.
After all, it was extremely difficult for someone without a stable income and with a criminal record to continue living in the capital at that time.
As the Lunar New Year approached, that person couldn't hold on any longer and returned to his hometown.
Zheng Jun was truly unwilling to accept that he knew who his enemy was, yet he couldn't actually take revenge on them, or even seek justice for himself.
Even though he was unwilling, he could only continue to endure it.
He didn't believe it, and he couldn't think of any way to get revenge on that vicious woman.
Isn't she already married? Would she dare let her current family know about her past experiences?
Thinking of this, Zheng Jun still wrote a reply to his fellow inmate.
He dared not make any moves that might alert the enemy, but that didn't mean he couldn't prepare anything.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
Li Zhenhua was so drunk that he went to bed early and barely ate any of his New Year's Eve dinner, let alone went out.
After he fell asleep, Yu Huimin came over and started rummaging through his pockets.
Once she found the address that hadn't been thrown away, she and her son secretly plotted in its room.
"This should be Li Huai's current residence. You should go and take a look when you have time tomorrow."
"Okay, Mom, leave it to me."
"By the way, you used all the money I gave you for your business, didn't you?"
Li Wei's heart skipped a beat, but he pretended to be calm and said, "Of course."
"What's the situation with your business? When will you see a return on your investment?"
"Mom, aren't you annoying? I'm in a partnership with someone. Businesses don't pay off so easily. I have to wait. Stop rushing me."
Seeing her son's impatience, Yu Huimin said helplessly, "I know, Mom must have owed you something in her past life."
As soon as Huimin left, Li Wei paced anxiously in the room.
He's been swindled out of all his money; how is he going to explain this to his mother?
It's one thing to have money at home, but the real problem is that he's borrowed a lot more. Just thinking about the interest rates those people quoted when they lent him the money gives him a headache.
They had dumplings for lunch, and for the New Year's Eve dinner, Zhao Qinglan and the others prepared a huge table full of dishes.
Sun was overjoyed to be able to spend the Lunar New Year with her long-lost brother this year. Even the absence of her two daughters could not dampen her joy.
As soon as it got dark, the sounds of fireworks and firecrackers began to ring out outside.
This is Zhao Qinglan's first time spending the Lunar New Year in Beijing since her rebirth.
The atmosphere in Beijing during the Spring Festival is much more lively than in their residential area.
After dinner, Zhao Qinglan didn't keep the children from going; they all ran out to watch the fireworks.
Sun Guangming was also celebrating the New Year with his family for the first time in many years, and in his excitement, he drank too much.
Seeing her mother and uncle, still swayed by alcohol, reminiscing about the past with tearful eyes, Zhao Qinglan smiled helplessly.
As she stood by the window, Li Huai came over at some point. The couple leaned against each other, watching the excited children in the yard, their eyes full of tenderness.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Li Zhenhua finally sobered up.
As soon as he woke up, he thought of his grandsons and immediately got dressed to go out.
Yu Huimin quickly grabbed the person.
“We’re sure to have guests at home right now. What will we do if you run out and the guests arrive?” As she spoke, she quickly gave her son a meaningful look.
"Yes, Dad, my uncles and elders are here, and I don't know what to say to them."
Li Zhenhua felt helpless and could only stay at home for the time being, thinking he would go out to see his grandchildren in the afternoon.
Li Wei, on the other hand, went out shortly afterward.
Zhao Qinglan and her companions didn't have many relatives in the capital to visit for the New Year, so they just sat together happily at home.
However, since Mr. Dou has lived here for many years, neighbors often bring their children to visit him for the New Year.
Fortunately, Zhao Qinglan and the others had prepared melon seeds, peanuts, and candies at home, so even if guests came, it wouldn't be cold or shabby.
Li Wei quickly found his way outside the courtyard.
As soon as he arrived, he began to look around, his eyes full of assessment.
This courtyard must be worth a lot of money, right?
Li Huai's mother has been dead for so long. This courtyard should belong to the Li family. Why should only Li Huai live here? He has the right to live here too.
If he gets this courtyard back and resells it, he should be able to make a lot of money, right?
As he was scheming, Zhao Qinglan went out to take out the trash and saw someone standing at her door, which puzzled her.
"Who are you looking for?"
Judging from Zhao Qinglan's appearance and age, Li Wei guessed her identity.
"You're the one Li Huai married later?"
Zhao Qinglan frowned when she heard his unfriendly tone.
"Who are you?"
"Heh." Li Wei sneered.
"What kind of lunatic is this?" Zhao Qinglan couldn't help but roll her eyes, then walked past the person to take out the trash.
When she came back after taking out the trash, she saw that Li Wei was still standing there.
"Please move aside and don't block my doorway."
"You've been staying here for a few days and you've really made yourselves at home," Li Wei mocked.
"Is this my house or yours? Where did this lunatic come from? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll give you a good broom sweeping." Zhao Qinglan said irritably.
Just as Li Wei was about to retort, someone kicked him from behind.
