Xu Niannian glanced at the people over there with their backs bent and walking towards this side with hunched bodies. Each of them had a numb expression on their face, like puppets, and there was no color in their eyes.

They are mostly thin, and there are people supervising them around. If they see anyone walking slowly, they will whip them.

Lu Huaijin then introduced:

"This was originally a simple farm. Later, we accidentally discovered minerals in the back hills, so we expanded the scale and built a mining development site."

Lu Huaijin pulled her towards the office:

"Don't look at it. There will be a reception room later. We can just wait there."

Suddenly, a man rushed out from the crowd:

"My daughter, my daughter, Dad is wrong, please save me."

Xu Niannian turned her head and saw that in just three months, Xu's father had become very disheveled. His face looked like he had aged more than ten years, and his clothes were dirty and messy. He no longer looked like the director he once was.

Before Xu Niannian could reply, a whip came from behind and hit him:

"Why are you running around? You still have the energy to run. It seems that you have eaten too much. As a punishment, you are not allowed to eat lunch."

Father Xu screamed in pain and ran around.

Lu Huaijin pulled her hand again:

"Come on, let's go to the living room first."

It was impossible for him to speak out to stop this situation. Every position had its own way of disciplining people. If he said too much here, it would only annoy people.

In front of the reception room, there were staff on duty. Lu Huaijin showed his military ID:

"Hello comrade, the person we have made an appointment with before is Xu Aiguo."

The staff nodded quickly:

"Yes, my superior has informed you. You can just go in. I'll go get someone for you."

Xu Niannian and Lu Huaijin entered the reception room. Although it was called a reception room, it was actually a very simple place. There were only four stools, a table and bare walls around it.

After a while, Xu Aiguo walked in.

He admitted that when he first arrived here, he resented Xu Niannian and her husband, but life smoothed his edges and he found that only these two people could save him.

After all, he had been here for more than three months, but Xu Yaozu and Xu Xiuhong had never sent him a single letter.

Thinking of this, she suppressed her unhappiness, and wondered if her daughter regretted sending her here.

His voice trembled, like an old father who had done something wrong begging his daughter:

"I have reflected on what happened in the past. I shouldn't have treated Xu Ruhua better than you. This is all Dad's fault. Can you forgive Dad? I will definitely treat you well in the future."

Xu Niannian traced back the original owner's memory and found that the original owner and his father had a very happy time together.

That was before the original owner's mother died. It was because of this pitiful fatherly love that the original owner gradually became what he was before.

Because people often came to visit the house, Xu Xiuhong let her own daughter sleep on the balcony, obviously living up to her reputation as a good stepmother.

But in private, he gave Xu Ruhua much more delicious food than Xu Niannian.

Everyone just says that the stepmother treats her stepdaughter better than her own daughter, but they forget that this room was originally left by her biological mother. The stepdaughter who does not have three bedrooms of her own should be grateful to her stepmother.

Seeing that Xu Niannian was silent, Lu Huaijin spoke for her first:

"My daughter was just born. She was so tiny when she was born. I just wanted to give her all the good things and spoil her. Why can someone be a father to the extent of you? You came to her to ask for money the day after she gave birth."

Xu Aiguo quickly shook his head:

"Xu Ruhua asked me to come here to ask for it. She said that Niannian's life is very good now and he doesn't need this little money. I thought that I was unemployed, so I was tempted and came here."

Xu Niannian spoke:

"She asked you to come, so you came. She asked you to eat shit, so why didn't you eat it? And you didn't spend enough money from my mom, so why do you want to ask me for money now?"

Father Xu rubbed his hands:

"I told you, I spent some money, but then the money was stolen and I don't know where it went."

He didn't dare to mention whether the bed was stolen by Xu Niannian. The key now was to get himself out.

"Why are you asking me to lend you money? To buy property for your son?"

Why did he have the nerve to ask her for money? Her mother was killed by this scumbag couple.

"But he is also your half brother."

"Is he my brother, or the illegitimate child of the two murderers who killed my mother?"

Xu Aiguo's eyes widened. How could she know what happened back then? His lips trembled a few times:

"What did you say? I don't understand."

"Don't you understand? Didn't you two see my mother die with your own eyes? Have you forgotten the child in her belly? Aren't you afraid that the blood-red thing will come after you in your next life?"

Xu Aiguo was stunned and felt a sharp pain in his head. He had spent a lot of effort over the years to forget that scene.

He didn't expect that the past could be dug up again. Looking at the face that was somewhat similar to his deceased wife, he trembled and said:

"You...are you a human or a ghost?"

At that time, there were only him and Xu Aihong, and Xu Aihong would not spread this matter around.

Xu Niannian touched his hair:

"Of course I am a human being. These words came from Xu Aihong's mouth. If she can cheat on you in her marriage, she can also cheat on others, right?"

Xu Aiguo's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't tell the truth from Xu Niannian's words:

"She, it's all her. If it wasn't for her, your mother wouldn't have died. If you want to find her, go find her. I really love you, but I took a wrong step at that time."

If this matter were to be exposed, he would probably be sentenced to death, but he still wants to live.

Looking at Xu Aiguo kneeling on the ground in agony:

"You keep saying you love me. If you loved me, you wouldn't have watched me change completely under Xu Xiuhong's control. If you loved my mom, you wouldn't have gotten together with someone else behind her back. You only love yourself."

Xu Aiguo was about to collapse. The guilt and pain that had been covered up by his peaceful life over the years resurfaced in his heart.

Lu Huaijin felt Xu Niannian's body trembling a little, and held her hand:

"Let's go? The child must be waiting anxiously at home."

Although it has been several months since she left the confinement room, he still doesn't want to let her feel depressed.

Hearing that the two people were leaving, Xu Aiguo went forward regardless of everything:

"I know I was wrong, but can't you forgive me this time because I'm your biological father? Look how miserable I am now."

As he said this, he lifted up his clothes to let Xu Niannian see the wounds on his body.
