The iron gate didn't move at first.

Hu Wangmei continued to knock, and finally, after knocking for a while...

"Squeak."

A scraping sound came from the iron gate.

Then a thin figure appeared in the doorway.

This is a boy, about 175 cm tall, with a buzz cut, except for a whorl on the side of his head near his forehead, so he has two whorls on his head.

His eyebrows were very thick, his eyes were large, and his nose was particularly straight.

If someone who didn't know him saw this person, they might mistake him for Hu Dahai at first glance.

That's right, because he really looks like Hu Dahai.

Hu Wangmei's face was momentarily blank. She had carefully observed Hu Dahai when she was at the Qunyi Brigade, and she had a deep memory of how young Hu Dahai looked now.

Seeing Hu Wangfu in front of me now, I realize that Hu Wangfu is practically a carbon copy of the young Hu Dahai.

"You are, Wang Mei?"

Just as Hu Wangmei was in a daze, the boy looked at her, hesitated for a long time, and then asked.

Since leaving Hu Dahai's house, Hu Wangfu has never returned or seen Hu Wangmei again. His impression of Hu Wangmei is still from many years ago.

With Hu Wangmei now looking thin, dark-skinned, and haggard, and sporting an afro, he really couldn't recognize her at first glance.

“Wang Fu, that’s me. I’m your second sister, Wang Mei.”

As Hu Wangmei spoke, tears of grievance and heartache streamed down her face.

"How did you become like this?! Did Hu Dahai abuse you?"

"I remember you used to be fair-skinned and chubby, and you were much more energetic. How come you are now..."

As Hu Wangfu spoke, he glanced at Hu Wangmei up and down again, comparing her to the Hu Wangmei he had imagined before.

"Stop talking," Hu Wangmei said, sobbing. "Father is like a completely different person now. He treats us children so badly."

“He not only cheated me out of two hundred yuan, but also kicked me out of my home. Now I have nowhere to live. I don’t want to live with him anymore, and I don’t want to be his daughter anymore. I’d rather live alone outside than be his daughter.”

Hu Wangmei knew what Hu Wangfu liked to hear, so of course she would choose what he liked to listen to and go on a crazy rant about Hu Dahai.

Because Hu Wangfu was a very calculating and ruthless person from a very young age. He and Hu Wangfei were twins, but Hu Wangfei had a carefree and easygoing personality, while Hu Wangfu's personality was completely opposite.

Actually, no one taught him, but he became self-taught. He was extremely selfish, yet single-mindedly focused on living a better life.

Hu Dahai knew from the beginning that Hu Wangfu was ruthless, but he valued Hu Wangfu very much because he was very self-disciplined and motivated in his studies. His academic performance was always among the best in the class. He didn't need anyone to supervise him at home and would do his homework on his own.

Faced with Hu Wangfu's overwhelming advantages, Hu Dahai chose to ignore his shortcomings, finding it understandable that he was ruthless; after all, so many emperors in ancient times used iron-fisted methods. He might not have achieved such great results if he weren't ruthless.

Therefore, Hu Dahai had always devoted a great deal of effort and money to Hu Wangfu, believing that Hu Wangfu was a huge opportunity to change the entire family. He thought that as long as Hu Wangfu studied well, became successful, and made something of himself in the future, he could bring the whole family to a glorious state.

However, Hu Dahai underestimated Hu Wangfu's determination and ruthlessness in wanting a better life.

Hu Wangfu was an excellent student. He studied here for a year in junior high school. After winning an essay competition, he was specially admitted to a junior high school in the city and studied there with tuition waived.

At that time, the whole family was overjoyed that Hu Wangfu's crow had been promoted to a phoenix nest, and felt that Hu Wangfu had made something of himself and that his future was boundless.

However, Hu Wangfu's trip to the city truly opened the door to a new world, but also revealed a fatal problem.

He watched as his classmates, despite not studying hard, still managed to spend lavishly every day on food, clothes, and other extravagant purchases. Sometimes, they even spent more in a single day than some factory workers earned in a month.

He realized a problem: reading was indeed a way to improve himself, but the progress it brought was too slow and too unstable. Perhaps by the time he graduated and started working, his income wouldn't even be as much as his classmates' daily allowance.

Hu Dahai, the father of Hu Dahai, clearly wouldn't allow him to enter such a social class; at most, he could only give him a push from behind so that he could focus on his studies.

Just then, an opportunity fell from the sky and landed right in front of him.

One of Hu Wangfu's teachers had a daughter who married and moved to Shaoxing, but the daughter had lost her fertility. One day, the teacher's daughter came to the school to visit her mother and happened to see Hu Wangfu asking the teacher a question in the teacher's office.

Hu Wangfu's earnest study habits, coupled with his handsome and fair face, just like Hu Dahai's when he was young, immediately won the heart of his teacher's daughter.

So after Hu Wangfu left, she immediately inquired about his background. When she learned that Hu Wangfu's family was poor, he had several brothers, and that he was an excellent student and a talented writer, she was incredibly moved. She immediately decided to adopt him as her own child.

Hu Wangfu's teacher became an intermediary and spoke with Hu Wangfu about the matter.

At first, Hu Wangfu didn't say anything, but when he later learned that his teacher's daughter was married to a small business owner who was quite well-known in Shaoxing, he was immediately tempted.

However, Hu Wangfu still concealed his true thoughts, first vaguely indicating that he could take the job, but needed his father's consent, thus creating an image of filial piety for himself.

After returning home, Hu Wangfu told Hu Dahai about the matter. Upon learning the situation, Hu Dahai, of course, absolutely disagreed. Not only did he not agree, he also scolded Hu Wangfu. This was the first time in Hu Dahai's history that he had scolded Hu Wangfu, after all, Hu Wangfu was Hu Dahai's most valued son.

Afterwards, Hu Wangfu's teacher came to Hu Dahai's house and tried to persuade him many times, telling Hu Dahai about many benefits that could make Hu Wangfu's life better, but Hu Dahai refused them all.

Hu Wangfu was getting anxious. He was worried that if he continued like this, he would miss this chance to defy fate.

He, a teenager, began his deep scheming and long-term planning. He also harbored resentment towards Hu Dahai, feeling that Hu Dahai simply didn't want him to live a good life.

Hu Wangfu first clearly expressed his desire to become someone else's son and hoped that Hu Dahai would agree. Of course, Hu Dahai would not agree. He was very disappointed and did not expect that his son would have such an idea.

After being rejected, Hu Wangfu immediately began a series of ruthless actions.
