Chapter 1 Rebirth in 1983
Chapter 1 Rebirth in 1983
Lin Heng leaned against the big cabinet in the main room with his head in a mess.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar father, mother, daughter-in-law, elder brother, younger sister and others in front of me, I couldn't believe it.
He pinched himself.
Hiss! It hurts.
At the same time, those distant memories in his mind began to replay one by one, allowing him to remember them all at once.
I was reborn. It was the year 1983, an era when transportation was slow, thoughts were pure, and one could only love one person in a lifetime.
Really reborn!!
Lin Heng couldn't help but burst into tears. The scene that he had dreamt of countless times actually came true.
Spanning the long 40 years, he was reborn from the age of 60 back to the age of 20.
"What's wrong with you? Is there something in your eyes?" A clear female voice sounded beside him, and a soft hand poked him.
This person was none other than Lin Heng’s wife, Chen Xiulan, a beautiful and gentle woman.
She looked at Lin Heng, somewhat puzzled, thinking that there was something in his eyes, and wanted to come over to blow it out for him.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, there's some debris in my eye!" Lin Heng wiped away his tears with a smile and suppressed the excitement in his heart.
In his previous life, he was notoriously idle, lazy and gluttonous, wandering around all day with his bad friends.
Just having a junior high school education makes people feel that they are very great and always want to make a lot of money.
The result is that he can't get big money and doesn't care about small money. The family is extremely poor and his wife has to work hard in the fields every day to support the family.
What's even more damning is that in 1990 he went into business with someone and was deceived into opening a company. As a result, the money was taken away by others, and he was left with a foreign debt of 50,000 yuan.
In order to pay off his debts, my father in his forties had to work in a coal mine, but he never paid it back.
His wife died of illness a few years later due to overwork, and his son and daughter disowned him.
Only when he lost everything did he come to his senses and turn back.
He started from scratch, worked hard, studied diligently, and slowly paid off his debts. By the time he was in his fifties, he had a net worth of two million.
But he was not happy. He was filled with self-blame and regret all day long. He never expected that God would be willing to give him another chance to start over.
Looking at these familiar people, Lin Heng made up his mind that he must not be as bad as he was in his previous life. He must lead his family to live a good life and live happily.
"Second brother, the ginseng you dug grew in my forest. I saw it a few years ago, but I thought it was too small and never dug it.
I don't ask for much. If you sell the ginseng, give me half of the money. It's a loss, but it won't hurt our brotherhood."
Lin Heng's eldest uncle, Lin Xuping, was standing at the gate holding an old woman and speaking in a very reasonable manner.
"Second brother, listen to me. Everyone saw you coming out of your elder brother's forest. Let's split the money from the ginseng in half.
It's not easy for your eldest brother either, not only does he have to raise me, but he also has to take care of two sons and three grandchildren. It's not easy."
Then, the old lady that Lin Xuping was supporting spoke tremblingly.
Upon hearing this, both Lin Heng's father, Lin Xuan, and his mother were furious.
He was given plenty of delicious food and drinks during every festival, but whenever she spoke, the old lady only thought of her eldest son and didn't treat him as her own son at all.
"Brother, I dug this ginseng on Mount Taibai. When I came back, I walked through your forest. It's yours. If that's the case, then if you take the money and walk through my field, does that mean the money is mine too?"
Lin Heng's father Lin Xuan's eyes widened with anger. His elder brother was simply too shameless.
"And mother, what you said is that it's not easy for my eldest brother, but it's easy for us? We don't have children and grandchildren to help?"
Lin Heng's mother, Lu Hongmei, said indignantly that they were all her sons, but the old woman only favored her eldest son.
Seeing Lin's mother talking, Lin Heng's eldest father's wife immediately spoke up: "The ginseng in my forest is gone, didn't you dig it up and run away? I let you give me half, you are taking advantage of me, don't be ungrateful."
Hearing the quarrel outside, Lin Heng immediately remembered.
This year, his father dug up an old ginseng on Mount Taibai, a 15-year-old wild ginseng. Somehow his eldest uncle found out about it.
He insisted that the gold was split in half, saying that his father dug it in his forest.
His mother-in-law also came to take sides, siding with his eldest father in everything and not treating his father as her own son at all.
In the end, his father had no choice but to give some of the money from selling ginseng to his eldest father as he did not want to make the matter worse and bring shame to the ancestors of the Lin family.
That was a 15-year-old wild ginseng from Taibai Mountain, weighing about 15 or 16 grams.
You should know that in 2012, a 30-gram wild ginseng from Taibai Mountain was auctioned for a high price of 3 million.
Not to mention the year 2023 before his rebirth.
Even now, when workers earn 15 yuan a month and salt costs 1.5 yuan per pound, this wild ginseng can be sold for 400 to 500 yuan.
Lin Heng immediately decided to take action. He would not let his father take the money.
They are a very mean and sarcastic family. Giving them money will only make them worse and they won't be grateful.
"Dad, do you have any shame? And mother-in-law, you always stick up for my dad. Has he ever bought you a piece of clothing in all these years?"
Lin Heng walked out and started to curse right at his face. There was no need to save face at all, because he knew that his father's family only bullied the weak and feared the strong.
The easier you talk to him, the more he will think you are afraid of him, and he will become more shameless and arrogant. He will only be afraid if you are arrogant and unreasonable.
The eldest father, Lin Xuping, was stunned for a moment, then roared, "Do you have the right to speak when I talk to your father?"
His grandmother was so angry that she was shaking and pointed at Lin Heng: "You unfilial son, it's fine if you just idle around all day, but how can you talk to your elders?"
Lin Heng sneered and picked up the hatchet beside him: "I'm going to make this clear today. If anyone dares to be shameless, don't blame me for not caring about my life!"
"Brother, go call the village head, the village party secretary, my three uncles, and everyone else in the village to come and judge the case. I want to see how awesome you are!"
Lin Heng shouted again to his elder brother Lin Yue who had been standing next to him without saying anything.
When his eldest brother heard this, he did not move, but looked at his wife and father.
Father Lin looked at Lin Heng in surprise, thought for three seconds, and said to his eldest son Lin Yue: "Go quickly, I want to see who is right. I am still digging the pit of ginseng. Some people are shameless. Let's let everyone judge."
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Brother Lin Heng nodded and walked out.
"I'll go with you!" Lin's mother said, and they walked out together.
"Wait a minute!" Upon hearing someone calling for help, Lin Heng's father was a little panicked.
Why is it different today? In the past, he always had success when he pulled his mother over, but why is it not working today?
"How about this, you've worked hard digging ginseng, so give me one third and let's forget about today."
The old man changed his tone when he saw Lin Heng holding the machete. Lin Heng was a notorious second-rate guy who was fearless, and he was a little scared.
"No, I won't give you a dime!" Lin Heng shouted, "Let's wait for someone to come over. Today we'll see who is really shameless."
After saying that, Lin Heng sneered again and continued, “Dad, I’m afraid you didn’t have time to dig a hole in the woods before you ran over here?
When we go to the forest and take a look, we will find that there is not even a pit. I wonder how you can put your faces down."
As soon as he said this, his uncle and aunt looked panicked. They really came too hastily and didn't even have time to dig the pit.
I never thought of setting a trap, because in the past I could get a lot of benefits by making a fuss like this.
"I heard it from your mother-in-law too. I'll go back and take a look. Maybe I'm wrong."
At this time, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his father's face.
"Yeah, let's go back and check, maybe mom made a mistake." His aunt also smiled awkwardly.
At this time, they put all the blame on the old woman.
"No, we need to find someone to judge this matter today, otherwise some people will lose face!"
Lin Heng simply closed the gate of the yard and said excitedly while holding a hatchet.
This made his uncle and aunt very nervous. As the saying goes, the arrogant ones are afraid of the stupid ones, and the stupid ones are afraid of the desperate ones.
Lin Heng was fighting so hard that they were really scared.
In fact, it’s mainly because I don’t feel I’m right at all, otherwise I wouldn’t feel guilty.
"Lin Heng, we are all family, and we may have made a mistake. There is no need to spread the news to the village. If everyone knows about it, won't it be a disgrace to our Lin family?"
His eldest father smiled and spoke nicely, not as rude as before.
"No, what if you go out and dig a hole and then come back to make trouble?" Lin Heng looked arrogant.
"Forget it, second brother, open the door and let your eldest father and the others go!"
At this time, Lin Heng's father waved his hand.
Lin Heng's wife, Chen Xiulan, also came up to pull Lin Heng: "Dad has already said, just open the door."
She was afraid that Lin Heng would really kill the person, which would then be troublesome.
Lin Heng was just pretending in the beginning, and after his wife pulled him twice, he took two steps away.
"Let's go back and take a look!"
His uncle and aunt immediately took the old woman out, fearing that Lin Heng would go crazy.
"Let me make this clear today. If you dare to make trouble again, don't blame me for not wanting your life!" Lin Heng shouted at the three people.
