Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Zhang Yulin is 52 years old this year. His wife Li Na is nine years younger than him. They used to be teacher and student. This kind of bloody plot was very popular in that era. In the end, the teacher pushed down the student, abandoned his wife and married the student. The student went from being a mistress to a wife and gave birth to this rebellious son.

Zhang Yulin always felt guilty towards his wife. If he had not forcibly pushed down his student, Li Na would never have married him. So he obeyed Li Na's every word and doted on his only son.

Zhang Pengcheng was taken to the hospital by the driver, and the doctor quickly treated him. At this time, Zhang Yulin and Li Na, who got the news, also rushed over. Li Na hugged her son and cried in pain.

Zhang Yulin paced back and forth in the single ward and said unhappily.

"Stop crying. If others hear you, they might think someone's dead."

Li Na wiped away her tears and spoke loudly.

"What are you shouting about? Someone died? My son is so badly injured, why don't you just cry a little?"

Zhang Yulin immediately softened.

"Hey, don't be angry, I just want to know what's going on. Who is so bold as to hit my son, Zhang Yulin?"

Zhang Pengcheng did not answer his father's question, but just sobbed.

"Dad, you must make the decision for me. I want to marry Zuo Mingyue. If I can't marry her, I won't live anymore."

Li Na patted him.

"What nonsense is this kid talking about? Why is he not alive?"

Zhang Yulin was stunned.

"Zuo Mingyue? Who is Zuo Mingyue? Why do you have to marry her?"

Zhang Pengcheng was furious. You adults arranged a marriage for me when I was a child, but I remembered it in the end, but you forgot it?

"Dad, this is Uncle Zuo's daughter, the one you arranged for me to marry."

"Oh... is it Zuo Dajian's daughter? Oh, son, what's the point of a child marriage? That was just something Zuo Dajian and I said when we were drunk. Why did you take it so seriously?

Besides, Zuo Dajian and his wife have been dead for many years. Their daughter is an orphan with no family background. Why should she marry into our family?"

Li Na also said while hugging her son.

"Son, your father is right. If we are going to find someone, we should find someone who is of equal status. With our family and your father-in-law's family helping you, maybe you can take over your father's job in the future."

Zhang Pengcheng burst into tears,

"I will marry Zuo Mingyue. If I can't marry her, I will die and make your Zhang family extinct."

"Oh my, hurry up, bah, bah, bah, nonsense,"

"Old Zhang, why don't you go ask around about Zuo Mingyue and see how she's doing now? If she's about the same, then she can marry our Pengcheng."

Zhang Yulin shook his head helplessly.

"Alas, a loving mother often spoils her child."

When Zhang Pengcheng heard his parents relax, he quickly spoke.

"Dad, Mom, I've already found out. I saw Zuo Mingyue these past few days. It's a pity that she's married, but I want her to be married too. She's so beautiful. In my heart, she's the Chang'e in the Moon Palace, the Seven Fairies who came down to earth.

I swore that I would never marry anyone except her. If she wasn't there, I would rather remain single for the rest of my life!"

Zhang Yulin stamped his feet when he heard this, and his teeth were itching with anger.

"But she's married, son. You said you're marrying a divorced woman. Where do you want your mother and I to put our reputations?"

Li Na was immediately upset when she heard that.

"Get lost, you old bastard! You're the one who's getting old! How old am I? I'm young and pretty, how can I compare to an old idiot like you? Besides, aren't you a fool?"

Zhang Yulin was so angry that he almost collapsed, but unfortunately he couldn't afford to offend either of the two people in the room.

"Then how did you get injured? Why is it so serious?"

These guys are talking nonsense and only asking this question now.

When Zhang Pengcheng heard this, the wound on his body hurt again and he cried.

"Dad, Mom, you have to avenge me. The injuries on my body were caused by Zuo Mingyue's husband."

"what?"

Li Na was furious at the time.

"Was it Zuo Mingyue's husband who beat her? This is too cruel. No! Quickly order him to be arrested."

When Zhang Yulin heard this, he nodded without hesitation and said, "That's right, no matter what caused my son to be beaten like this, I must deal with him."

Zhang Yulin coughed.

"Secretary Qian, come in."

The secretary who was waiting outside the door agreed and pushed the door open. Zhang Yulin said in a deep voice.

"Call the police immediately and find out the last name and surname of Zuo Mingyue's husband. Then have them arrest him and punish him severely."

"Yes!"

Zhang Yulin looked at his son, then turned and said to his wife.

"I'll ask Secretary Qian to follow up on this matter. I have a meeting, so I'll be leaving now. I won't be home for the next few days."

Li Na rolled her eyes at him.

"Go away, go away."

After Zhang Yulin left, Zhang Pengcheng held his mother's hand and kept acting coquettishly. For a young man of eighteen or nineteen, the way he acted coquettishly was really disgusting, but his mother fell for it.

"Don't worry, son. Where does Zuo Mingyue work? Where does she live? Tell me and I'll go see her."

Zuo Mingyue's documents were with the Ministry of Public Security, and the people Zhang Pengcheng asked for help were not qualified to review Zuo Mingyue's information, so they always thought that Zuo Mingyue was just marrying a pauper, but they didn't know that they had already gotten into a huge trouble.

Dabao returned home with his daughter and wife. Zuo Mingyue told Dabao everything about Zhang Pengcheng. Dabao didn't take Zhang Yulin seriously. As for Zhang Pengcheng, as long as he didn't bother Zuo Mingyue, Dabao would not bother him. Now Dabao felt that he had a heart of a bodhisattva and he could let go of such things.

Zhang Yulin returned to the central government and began a three-day closed-door meeting. The Four Cleanups Movement had reached a critical juncture, and vigorous criticism meetings had already begun in the countryside.

But the top leaders thought that wasn't enough. Revolution wasn't a dinner party; how could criticism alone be enough? They had to single out people for struggle sessions, and this struggle session had to touch not only their souls but their bodies as well.

This made the capitalists very angry. They had heard that the landlords and rich peasants in the countryside were being criticized and were standing on the stage every day, being cursed by the villagers.

It seems that this trend is about to sweep into the city, and the capitalists are at a loss. They didn't expect that it was not enough to hand over their industries, but they also had to accept criticism.

They never imagined that the so-called criticism was just the beginning, and the subsequent struggle session would be the main event.

On his way back from the train to Nanluoguxiang, Dabao saw large-character posters painted on almost every wall at every intersection. These posters contained pictures, words, and the truth. This made him nervous. Could it be that his rebirth had accelerated the course of history? Was the great storm coming early?

There was an endless stream of beggars on the streets. Now, people from the surrounding areas who were starving had come to the capital. Everyone believed that even if the whole world was starving, the people in the capital would not be hungry. After all, they were at the emperor's feet and should be treated with favor...
