My 1995 Small Farm.

"That's how it happened, and I find it unbelievable too."

"I had heard Uncle Zhao talk about Zheng Shaoqiu before. That guy Zheng Shaoqiu is so handsome and dashing, I never expected him to do such a thing. I already think it's funny enough."

At least Zheng Shaoqiu was a man, with ulterior motives, wanting to climb the social ladder, and influenced by the capitalist atmosphere of Hong Kong.

This is also normal.

But this young man from the Liang family is just getting a freebie; it's like a pie fell from the sky.

No wonder he's been reluctant to tell me.

He kept it a secret from his family.

Even I, if I hadn't specifically inquired about it, would have thought it was made up.

Liang Yuemin was also a little confused.

After explaining Qin Qiumei's husband's situation.

He was starting to question the meaning of life.

The situation there is actually not complicated.

But it sounds fake.

Yang Jianzhong, Qin Qiumei's husband, went to Shenzhen a few years ago to make money.

But when he got there, his work experience started very differently from others.

Everyone else is struggling; they're either being cheated or scammed, or they're struggling to make ends meet, and many don't even have a place to live.

And after Yang Jianzhong arrived there...

That was a smooth journey.

Back in my hometown, I wasn't very successful and couldn't earn much money.

After arriving in Shenzhen, it took off immediately.

At the very beginning, I inexplicably found a lost child on the roadside.

Later, the child was taken in by the child's mother, a single, wealthy older woman.

Then, for no apparent reason, they had sex again, and the rich woman got pregnant.

Yang Jianzhong is a handsome man with a regular appearance; he is a very traditional kind of good-looking guy.

Otherwise, Qin Qiumei wouldn't have taken a liking to him.

At the time, Qin Dongmei was jealous that he had married well.

The wealthy woman naturally liked Yang Jianzhong very much.

They used the pregnancy as an excuse to force her to stay.

Yang Jianzhong is considered a clever and shrewd person in the countryside.

But when they arrived at her place, especially since she was a wealthy woman who had weathered many storms, they found her to be a different kind of woman.

His cunning is simply lacking.

And so it dragged on for several years.

The children with the rich woman have all grown up.

But the money sent back each year really did increase year by year.

"These days... anything can happen."

Chen Ling was speechless.

He had heard similar stories from his comrades before.

They were all older, men and women in their forties or fifties, or wealthy elderly men or women.

In particular, many of them have married wealthy older women.

After the old man dies, he will be sent home for a grand burial.

However, it is quite rare for someone like Yang Jianzhong, who is only in his thirties, to have married an older, wealthy woman and even have a child with her.

"Actually, the woman wasn't old either. She was only forty when she got pregnant with him. She was said to be a female celebrity from Hong Kong Island. She was kept by a rich man for several years, and after being abandoned, he gave her a large sum of money and raised the child alone."

Liang Yuemin said, "People's fortunes change, and who knows what might happen to them."

"Fugui, do you know? Ten years ago, I didn't believe in fate at all, not even a little bit. But ever since I met you, and my uncle's child..."

I accepted my fate.

"what?"

Chen Ling was stunned. Deep down, he did believe in fate.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been two lifetimes of his story.

There will be no more Sun and Moon Grotto Heaven.

"What? Don't you believe it?"

Liang Yuemin smiled and said, "I'll tell you something, and then you'll understand."

"My cousin from my maternal uncle's family is a few years older than me. Because his family is well-off, rich and powerful, and he grew up in Beiji, he had no worries about food and clothing since childhood. As he grew up, he lived a life of luxury and extravagance."

The things I've eaten, seen, and played are things that most people couldn't even imagine.

They have almost everything you could want.

"My first wife was almost as beautiful as any Hong Kong star. She was tall, had fair skin, and was very pretty. She gave birth to a son for me in the first year of our marriage."

As a result, he indulged in all sorts of vices, including drinking, gambling, and whoring, and no matter how wealthy his family was, no woman could stand him.

She divorced him.

Then he remarried, and his wife was also very beautiful.

It was his first son born that year.

They divorced in less than three years.

And so it went, they got married, divorced, and then borrowed money.

She has been married four times.

Every single one of the wives is incredibly beautiful.

He also had sons born to each of his wives.

The last wife had just given birth, less than six months prior.

Guess what? My cousin got drunk and died.

"Huh? What does that mean?"

Chen Ling didn't quite understand.

"I haven't explained it clearly yet. My cousin's family is rich and powerful. When he married his third wife, my uncle had already retired."

Not only did he retire, but he also made some mistakes before retiring.

The family's fortunes have also declined somewhat.

It's not as glamorous as it used to be.

My uncle and aunt are getting old.

It means that my cousin will have to support the family from now on.

The results of it?

After marrying four beautiful wives and fathering four healthy sons, he enjoyed his life to the fullest and then simply abandoned them.

"Oh."

Chen Ling understood now.

"That means your cousin was born when his family was at its most prosperous. He grew up eating, drinking, and having fun, enjoying a smooth and successful life. He grew up in a honey pot and now he has a wife and a son."

He never suffered any hardship in his entire life.

It's time for him to endure hardship and take on more responsibility.

He didn't stay a day longer; he passed away right away.

Is that what you mean?

"Yes, that's exactly what I mean."

Liang Yuemin nodded vigorously: "My mother said that my cousin must have done good deeds in his past life. Even when he died, he was drunk and died in his sleep without any pain."

That's just their fate; they were born to enjoy happiness.

They came into this world without having to suffer for even a single day.

When it's time to endure hardship, that's when it's time to leave.

"When you put it that way, it does indeed have a bit of a fate-like quality to it."

Chen Ling smiled and said, "Just like Yang Jianzhong, he spent the first thirty years of his life in the countryside in a lukewarm manner, and was not noticeable at all."

He can't earn much money, and his wife can't have children.

Who knew that after going to Shenzhen, God would suddenly throw good fortune into my life.

Not only did he suddenly become rich, but he also had a wealthy woman bear his child.

A forty-year-old woman suddenly became pregnant...

This is really..."

Chen Ling was at a loss for words when he got to this point.

"Right, it's hard not to believe in fate when it comes to these people."

There was something Leung Yuet-man didn't say.

That is, in his eyes, Chen Ling is also a very lucky and extraordinary person.

However, he was not worried at all that Chen Ling might have an accident because Chen Ling was restrained and had a very upright character.

They don't seem like the kind of people who are born to squander their good fortune.

But it must be said that many things became smoother after encountering Chen Ling.

As for Chen Ling, no matter how much money he earns, he only cares about his family and his own life.

They can stay in the mountain village and not go out.

That impressed him greatly.

I think Chen Ling has a very high level of understanding and his future is limitless.

He believed Chen Ling was destined for this fate.

"Sigh, let's not talk about these irrelevant things. Right now, I'm thinking about how to tell Qiumei about this. Susu just helped her get better last year and said she could start trying to conceive this year, but now this has happened."

Chen Ling felt helpless, thinking that the person had asked him to inquire about something, and this was the kind of thing he had found out.

It's hard to say.

"What's wrong with saying this? Just say it. After the divorce, Director Qin can stay with me."

Chen Baoshuan chuckled to himself.

"You're such a piece of trash. Others just think it to themselves, but you really dare to say it out loud."

Chen Ling slapped her across the face. Qin Qiumei was so beautiful, and her husband wasn't around. Which man in the surrounding villages wouldn't have designs on her?

But nobody dares to.

They have strong connections.

Even if she remarries, she won't marry an ordinary person.

"Don't be angry, don't get upset, I was just saying that..."

“Bao Shuan, since you’ve brought this up, stop grinning like an idiot. Let me tell you, when you look for a wife, you should find someone with a positive mindset who is family-oriented and would be good to Xi Zi.”

Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to get past you trying to find a matchmaker for you using my name."

Chen Ling said with a serious expression.

Many people in the village who were on good terms with him would use their close relationship with him as an excuse to elevate their own status.

It's easy to arrange a match.

He knew what was going on and felt that if it worked out, it wouldn't be a bad thing, so he didn't say anything.

On the contrary, they will even help remind people of things when they encounter serious problems.

"I know, I know, I know how good Xizi is. I treat her like my own daughter. Even if I find another wife, I will definitely make sure that Xizi won't suffer any grievances."

Upon seeing Chen Ling become serious, Chen Baoshuan quickly made a promise.

"That's settled then. I have to go back. You guys stay here and have fun. I'll go home and discuss this with Susu to see how we should explain this matter."

Chen Ling waved his hand, his mind preoccupied, and he had no interest in joking with them.

He glanced at Rui Rui and the others running and playing with their dog on the slope, then went home by himself. (End of Chapter)
