Reborn in 1991, helping dad become the richest man

"Dad, I really am Tang Yichen from 33 years later!"

In a dim and simple room lit by a kerosene lamp.

Five-year-old Tang Yichen waved his thin little arms and blinked his tender and cute big eyes.

He told his father Tang Xionghua with great certainty that he had traveled from 2024.

On the old calendar hanging on the wall of the room, it was clearly written: July 7, 1991.

From a 38-year-old middle-aged office worker to a 5-year-old kid.

At first, Tang Yichen was also shocked.

After the shock, there was great ecstasy!

Being reborn in the 90s, it was a bit hard, but it was also an era of gold everywhere.

However, no matter how great the opportunities and dividends of the times were, he was only 5 years old and could not grasp them.

The only thing to do is to confront dad and let him take over.

I just hide behind the scenes and be a quiet rich second generation.

It seems not bad.

What's more, during this summer vacation of September 1st, my father was going through a major hurdle in his life.

Look at my father's dull eyes at this moment, and he looks like he is worried about something.

I knew he had suffered a great blow and was full of anxiety and confusion about his future life.

"Dad, I didn't lie to you. I really did travel from the future."

"If I remember correctly, Dad, you should have been fired from your job as a substitute teacher at the town middle school."

"You just found out the reason not long ago and probably haven't told your grandparents yet, but I remember it very clearly."

"Because the principal wants to arrange for his brother-in-law to come in, you, with no background or connections, will naturally be the one to be replaced. It's unfortunate, but there's nothing you can do about it, Dad."

Tang Yichen used a calm tone and clear words to expose the most vulnerable side of his father Tang Xionghua's heart at this moment.

"Yi Chen...how did you know..."

Tang Xionghua stared at his five-year-old son Tang Yichen in disbelief, his heart filled with shock.

Without waiting for his father to ask, Tang Yichen continued calmly:

"Dad, if you still don't believe me, I can first tell you some old stories of our Tang family."

"For example, my grandfather, Tang Jiaxiang, was actually betrothed when he was young. He even ran away from the marriage, and my grandmother often used this to tease him."

"The reason your eldest uncle is eight years older than you is because two of his eldest aunts died young. And your youngest aunt is four years younger than you because an uncle also died young. That uncle actually lived for more than a month before he died."

"Even Dad doesn't know this detail, and my uncle can't remember it either. Grandpa told me later. You can go and confirm it with Grandpa..."

"Actually, the thing that best proves that I'm not lying is my mother's story."

"Although you and my mother were in love, for a while during the first year of your marriage, you couldn't get your mind off Liu Ying from the next village. You would often go to her to express your feelings. After all, my mother has a bit of a strong personality, which made you feel a little suffocated. That's what you said."

"It wasn't until my mother became pregnant with me that you completely gave up on the idea and started living a down-to-earth life with her."

"Even my mother doesn't know about this. It's just a little secret in your heart, Dad."

"And the reason I know this is because you accidentally said it when you were drunk and missed my mom too much."

"Well... that should have happened six years later, in 1997, the year Hong Kong returned to China. I was eleven years old that year."

"The reason I remember it so clearly is because that time, Dad, you cried your eyes out, muttering to yourself in regret and telling the truth about my mom's death."

"Two years ago, my mother had an acute heart attack. If our family had enough money, we could have had a heart transplant, and the success rate was very high."

"It's a pity that even if we empty our family and my grandmother's family and borrow all the money we can, we still can't raise the money."

"My mother also knows that even if she broke the bank and had the surgery, the subsequent costs would still be astronomical."

"So she secretly pulled out the tube... She didn't want to burden my father and me."

"Dad, I was only three years old when my mom passed away. I don't even remember what she looked like."

"But I remember your tears of regret at that time. I remember you crying and asking God: Why am I so poor?"

"Dad, I really am Yi Chen from 2024...your only son!"

……

After hearing this, Tang Xionghua's hands were shaking and he burst into tears.

For Tang Yichen, his mother's death was 35 years ago, and he had no memory of it.

But for Tang Xionghua, his wife passed away only two years ago.

He hasn't completely recovered from the heart-wrenching grief...

"Yi Chen...are you really Yi Chen from 33 years later? My future son?"

Tang Xionghua sobbed and grabbed Tang Yichen's little arm, excitedly looking at his son who he spent every day with.

Trying to find out what's different.

But deep down in his heart, he actually completely believed what Tang Yichen said.

"Yes, Dad, I'm home."

Tang Yichen also stared at his father's young face, tears rolling down his eyes, and he was deeply moved.

Because to him, his father's old and frail face was not 33 years later, but yesterday...

"well……"

Tang Xionghua gave his son a big hug and burst into tears of joy.

But the anxiety of being fired was still like a huge rock pressing on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

So what if my son is from the future? After all, he is just a 5-year-old child and I need him to earn money to support me.

But, he lost his job, it was gone!

"By the way, Yichen, our family won't be so poor anymore, right? You will definitely become a successful person in the future, right?"

Tang Xionghua didn't want his son to see his anxiety, so he asked with a forced smile.

Tang Yichen smiled bitterly.

Then I told my dad about the future of our lives——

"How should I put it? We should be living better than we are now, but we are still poor."

"It was during this summer that someone else took your job, Dad. You were too embarrassed to tell my grandparents, so you lied and said the school sent you to study abroad. Actually, you went south to Shenzhen to work alone."

"It's a shame. After a year, you didn't make much money, so you came back in disgrace. Actually, you didn't want to come back. You could have done some hard labor in Shenzhen, and you could have earned some money to send back. You were sent back because you didn't have a border pass."

"Now that you've returned, the whole village knows about your dismissal and deportation. Not only are you embarrassed, but your grandparents are also unable to hold their heads up and are sighing all day long."

"After you came back, you cultivated your family's two mu of paddy fields while doing odd jobs. After five years of living there, you saw Tang Ergou, a villager who hadn't even graduated from elementary school, become a decent person and built a new house. Finally, you couldn't hold back and went to the Magic City with Tang Ergou."

"Tang Ergou also worked with the big boss in foreign trade. Because he had little education, it was you, your father, who had a technical secondary school diploma and knew English, who seized the opportunity and became a little prosperous for a while."

"Two years later, Dad, you returned home in glory and took me to live in Shanghai. At that time, I had just graduated from elementary school."

"The first three years after I arrived in Shanghai were probably the best time for our family. Not only were we well-known in the village, but we also had hope for life."

"However, the good times didn't last long. When things started to get better, Dad found me a stepmother. At first, this stepmother was quite nice, but then she got addicted to drugs, and our family's nightmare began..."

"In less than two years, my stepmother has squandered our house and savings, and is now deeply in debt. She's even lost your job, Dad."

"After my stepmother left, I toiled hard for a year until it was time for my college entrance exams. But ever since moving to Shanghai, I haven't been able to adapt, and my grades have plummeted. I luckily got into the worst high school in junior high, but after high school, I couldn't keep up at all."

"I only got into an ordinary three-year university. I originally didn't want to go because the tuition was very high. Not only did my family not have the money to pay for tuition, but we still had debts that we couldn't pay off."

"But Dad, you insisted that I go to school, even going so far as to borrow money again and work three jobs..."

"I endured this until I graduated from university, but the family's debt kept growing. It wasn't until I started working that my father and I toiled for seven years to pay off the debt."

"By that time, I was already 30 years old and didn't even have a girlfriend. I finally found one, but I couldn't afford the bride price. Dad, you've been so tired that your hair has turned white and your health is getting worse."

"Then my father and I started saving for the betrothal gift. After seven years, we had enough. We could even borrow some money, and if the girl's family also contributed, we could barely put together a down payment and buy a small two-bedroom apartment in Shanghai."

"Just when we thought our hard work had paid off and I could marry my girlfriend of two years and have a grandchild soon, you fell ill..."

"All our savings were gone, and we were transported back to the days before liberation. I, 38, and you, my 60-year-old father, returned to our long-absent rural hometown to borrow money from relatives for medical treatment."

"On the way back home, the bus suddenly overturned... When I woke up, I became like this."

"I'm sorry... Dad, not only did I fail to make a name for myself, I also became a burden to you for the rest of your life."

"..."

Having said that, Tang Yichen couldn't help but cover his face and sob softly.

In their previous life, life was really difficult for them, father and son!

"Ah... it's so poor and so hard!"

Tang Xionghua also let out a long sigh.

Fortunately, this miserable life can now start over again!
