Chapter 990 Erasing the Past and Starting Anew



Zhou Changlin went home to recuperate, but he couldn't stay at home for even a day!

He felt that no matter how hard it was outside, he wasn't afraid, at least he was at peace. Sometimes, when he saw the outside world, he would have a moment of love for life and longing for the future. But as soon as he got home, he would feel inexplicably irritable and couldn't calm down no matter what.

I'm annoyed by everything and nothing seems right!

After only one day, she was already clamoring to go to work, and had even secretly packed her things.

Wang was determined not to let him leave!

The injury hasn't healed yet, and going to work is all physical labor that requires strength, so it's impossible to avoid aggravating the wound!

If it cracks again, it won't be as simple as just patching it up!

So Wang refused no matter what she said and started crying.

When Zhou Changlin saw his mother so worried about him and crying her eyes out, he immediately changed his mind. He knew that would be extremely unfilial!

Not going for the time being doesn't mean Zhou Changlin's thoughts have stopped. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to adapt, only wanting to recover quickly and leave this place as soon as possible!

Not for any other reason than that the He family once lived here!

He had already thrown away most of the things that He had used, and put the rest in a corner so he didn't want to see them!

When Wang and Zhou Ping saw their son in this state, they were heartbroken. They were wondering whether they should tear down the house and rebuild it, since it was only one story and a very simple one!

Perhaps Zhou Changlin foresaw this day would come, which is why he wasn't in the mood to build a proper home and just made do with what he had for the time being.

After listening to Wang's idea, Old Lady Mo thought for a while and said, "If it's really that painful, then let's tear it down! Seeing those things will inevitably remind him of his unbearable past, which is indeed a kind of torture for him! There are many of us, so tearing it down and rebuilding it won't be a big deal. If we don't have enough manpower, we can ask other people in the village to help out and pay them some wages! This is not a problem at all!"

Constantly thinking about the past is a painful thing; coming back is not an option, nor is not coming back!

Fortunately, it wasn't a big deal. Zhou Changlin's house was so fragile and easily knocked down that it didn't take much effort. We just started rebuilding it!

Wang finally smiled after a long time; finally, someone agreed with her ideas!

Even Zhou Ping remained neutral. He didn't really want to demolish it, but he wasn't against it either, because he felt it wasn't a big deal. Time would always change everything, and a real man shouldn't worry about such trivial details!

But he dared not say it. Seeing Wang's worried expression and his son's listless state, he could only remain silent.

Feeling distressed at not receiving a response, Wang came to the Mo family to talk to Old Madam Mo.

After getting her comrade-in-arms, Wang rushed home and suggested it to Zhou Changlin. Zhou Changlin had no objection; he had actually been thinking about tearing it down and rebuilding it for a long time, so he nodded in agreement.

However, Zhou Changlin wanted to wait until he recovered and was able to work before starting to do it.

Wang said to him, “Okay! No problem! You can stay with us temporarily. We’ll find someone to demolish this place first. We’ve already set the date, and we’ll start construction then!”

After saying that, Wang didn't wait for her son's reply and happily went to pack her things.

Seeing his mother so happy, Zhou Changlin didn't want to spoil her mood. It was rare for his mother to be in such a good mood, so he let her do whatever she wanted!

Zhou Yuzhu came to visit her older brother. After learning what had happened, she called other members of the Zhou family to come and help. They finished moving the things in no time!

That's incredibly fast!

However, Zhou Changlin didn't have much. Almost all the valuables had been secretly taken and sold by He Shi. What was left were necessities that he would use every day. He couldn't sell them, but there weren't many left, so he finished moving them in no time!

Zhou Changlin temporarily stayed with his parents to recuperate from his injuries. Meanwhile, Wang acted swiftly, immediately finding someone to calculate an auspicious date and arrange for the demolition of the house.

The villagers were all surprised. Hadn't it been built for a short time? Why was it demolished again?

Whispers rippled through the crowd. Wang explained that the house was too low and dark, so she wanted to build two stories to make it more comfortable. The original floor couldn't support the weight, so it had to be demolished and rebuilt.

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed that it made sense. Zhou Changlin's house was indeed built rather carelessly. Building it too high would be unsafe, so demolishing and rebuilding it would be a better option!

Most of the Mo family members were out of town, and only the elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Mo, had time to help out. The children couldn't be of much help, so they weren't called over.

Demolishing a house isn't too difficult, it doesn't require many people, and there's no rush. We can demolish it slowly; the day for rebuilding the house hasn't arrived yet.

Actually, some people in the village said that rebuilding the house was for the purpose of remarrying, since Zhou Changlin had already divorced his wife.

I'm single now, but I'm not young anymore, so getting married should be on my agenda. I'm preparing for marriage now!

Didn't you see that Zhou Changlin was injured and had no wife to take care of him?

My mother is getting old, and it's not very convenient to take care of her anymore!

Zhou Changlin stays indoors and ignores all the noise outside. Even if he knows about it, he doesn't care. Right now, all he wants to do is make money and he doesn't want to get married!

He cooperated diligently and took good care of his injury. After two days, he felt that he was almost fully recovered and asked to go back to work again.

Wang was caught in a dilemma: to agree or not to agree!

My son is growing up and has his own ideas; I can't just control him all the time!

But I was really worried, so I suggested going to the city to see a doctor for a second opinion. If the doctor said there was no problem, then I would let him do it. If the doctor said I needed to rest, then I would rest for two more days!

Zhou Changlin thought it made sense, so he agreed.

Wang borrowed an oxcart from the Mo family, and the group went to town with Zhou Changlin to see a doctor.

I went to the same clinic I had visited before. The doctor there was quite knowledgeable about my condition, so the examination was quick.

After the doctor finished the examination, he was very surprised and asked Zhou Changlin what he had eaten to recover so quickly.

Zhou Changlin was also taken aback. He hadn't eaten much. His mother usually made him bone broth and chicken soup, and he also had the medicine prescribed by the clinic. That seemed to be all.

If I had to say something else, it would be that he really wanted to get better quickly!

The doctor nodded, "Indeed, a good mindset and unwavering perseverance are also good medicine!"

Finally, the doctor said that it was okay to work, but not for long periods of time. He needed to take appropriate breaks in between, and if he felt unwell, he should stop and not push himself.

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Zhou Changlin left happily.

When he was in a good mood, he wanted to go shopping. Seeing that he had finally smiled after many days, Wang did not stop him. She let him go shopping by himself, gave him money, and told him to buy whatever he wanted.

Zhou Changlin knows this city very well, so there shouldn't be any trouble. Let them go about their business.

Zhou Changlin really wanted to wander around by himself and clear his head.

"Don't blame everything on me! Even if I'm disgusting, I'm still better than you! You stole Zhou Changlin's purse and injured him; you're the most disgusting one!"
