During the wave of reform and opening up, Zeng Min had already purchased several properties and accumulated a considerable fortune. Her two younger sons had also successfully entered university.

After greeting Tu Mingcheng, she began traveling throughout the country, wanting to see all the beautiful landscapes of her motherland.

Of course, she didn't visit scenic spots with mountains and rivers. Having grown up in the mountains, she was already tired of them. The places she went to were crowded and lively, convenient for eating, drinking, and having fun.

In each city, Zeng Min would stay for a while to experience the local customs and culture. She enjoyed tasting various delicacies and trying new things.

However, no matter where she went, she always kept in mind her longing for her hometown and her concern for her family.

Zeng Min finally arrived at a seaside city. The sun shone brightly, the sand was white, the sea was azure, and the seafood was delicious; everything was breathtakingly beautiful.

Standing on the beach, gazing at the boundless sea, a surge of emotion welled up within her.

Perhaps it was time to go home. She decided to end this long journey, return to her children, and reunite with her family.

When she got tired of staying at home and wanted to go out again, she was met with unanimous opposition from Tu Mingcheng and the children. Because she wanted to travel abroad.

They said they were worried about their mother (wife) being too far away. Zeng Min thought to herself that she couldn't be too willful and cause trouble for the children, so she had to put her mind at ease for the time being.

But when Zeng Min was living her old life again, Tu Mingcheng couldn't bear to see her living such a monotonous life at home every day.

Tu Mingcheng couldn't bear to see his wife spending her days aimlessly strolling around the streets, wasting time by spending money.

She was all alone and had no close friends. When he took her out to meet with the wives of his business partners, she felt tired and didn't want to go. Tu Mingcheng didn't force her. He just looked at her lonely figure and felt a pang of pity.

Left with no other choice, she could only wait for her two sons to graduate from university, and for Tu Yan to grow up in two more years. Once he was familiar with the company's business, she could retire and spend more time with him.

Therefore, Tu Mingcheng accelerated the training of Tu Yan, frequently taking him to various business activities and meetings.

Tu Yan did not disappoint, and quickly became very familiar with the company's operations and management.

Two years later, Tu Mingcheng handed the company over to Tu Yan with peace of mind, and then retired gracefully.

He took Zeng Min on a journey around the world, where they enjoyed beautiful scenery, tasted local delicacies, and experienced the unique charm of different cultures.

During this journey, Tu Mingcheng and Zeng Min's feelings for each other deepened. They relied on each other and spent countless wonderful moments together.

In their later years, when their steps were no longer agile, the couple returned to their hometown to enjoy their retirement, breathing in the fresh air.

Later, Zeng Min passed away, and Tu Mingcheng followed suit, leaving this world.

.........

As for Luo Qicai and Jiang Fengqin, their lives were like a barren desert, without the oasis of life that is their child.

Luo Qicai also lacked drive in his career and just drifted along.

As the couple grew old, their lives became stagnant, devoid of the joyful laughter of their children.

Every day, all Jiang Fengqin could do was go square dancing. She flirted with those old men, exchanging glances and flirting. Luo Qicai also found his so-called soulmate dance partner.

The couple danced their own dances, and whenever they were alone together, they would stare at each other and accuse each other like fighting cocks every day.

Without children to act as a mediator, the slightest disturbance could trigger a fierce argument.

Wu Xinxin, being from a later era, knew that after the reform and opening up, any business she did would be successful.

So she quit her job without hesitation, giving up a secure job that others would kill for.

Wu Xinxin has great ambitions, so much so that she looks down on small vendors, but she doesn't dare to do the buying and selling business on her own.

So she decided to open a clothing store, but the styles of the clothes she bought were too avant-garde, and no one bought them. The spring breeze of reform had not yet reached this backward little county.

So her clothing business ended in failure. Thinking that the county was too backward, she went to the provincial capital to develop her business, but unfortunately she was all talk and no action and ended up achieving nothing.

Thinking of Tu Mingcheng's success, she went to her two sons to sow discord, but she failed and even lost touch with them.

In the end, he had nothing left and could only engage in a battle of wits with his son's two daughters-in-law, turning the family upside down.

She was sent to a nursing home when she got old, and Wu Xinxin spent the rest of her life there. Looking back, she was filled with regret.

Tu Mingcheng extra

In fact, Tu Mingcheng knew perfectly well that his wife hadn't married him because she loved him, but simply because he was the right person for her.

But what does it matter? He loves her deeply and passionately, and he is content as long as he can hold her in his arms.

So, on their wedding day, he gave her everything he had without reservation, just to please her.

The separation after marriage was like a long and unbearable torture. He racked his brains to bring Minmin to the city, and Tu Mingcheng finally ushered in a happy time for the family of three.

Later, his wife became pregnant. Although he was overjoyed, he also felt heartbroken for the suffering she endured during her pregnancy.

Therefore, the father and his sons would take on all the chores within their capabilities, ensuring that their wives would not have to do any work.

A few months later, his wife gave birth to twin sons. Watching the harrowing scene of his wife's childbirth, he was filled with fear.

So, he quietly went to the hospital for a minor surgery. As the children grew up, he poured all his fatherly love into the two little ones.

These were the children born to the woman he loved! Although he had felt a pang of resentment when they were first born, blaming them for almost causing him to lose his wife, thankfully, the ending was happy.

In fact, he had a nightmare in which his wife died in an accident a few months after divorcing Luo Qicai.

He simply couldn't accept this fact; his heart was breaking, and he was in a state of extreme discomfort.

For the next six months, he was in a daze, and even when Wu Xinxin caused him to lose his job, he had no reaction, only feeling that things shouldn't be like this.

Later, he resolutely got a divorce. Although Wu Xinxin disagreed in every way, he ignored her and insisted on divorcing her.

Without the person he longed to see in the village, he felt like a walking corpse, even less inclined to go home. He was obsessed with making money, yet his heart remained empty, as if some void within him was being relentlessly whipped, causing him unbearable pain.

Later, he accidentally discovered that the person's death was not an accident, so he investigated thoroughly, chopped the scoundrel who had harmed her into pieces, and threw him into the open latrine like garbage.

As for Wu Xinxin, they nurtured her appetite to the point of being bottomless, then found a perverted homosexual to seduce her, and then ruthlessly cut off her source of income, leaving her with no money to go to the hospital, and she could only eke out a living under the torment of illness until the end of her life.

As for Luo Qicai and his wife, he only needed to give them the evidence that the two children were not his biological children. Whether the evidence was true or false did not matter, as long as Luo Qicai was convinced.

A once happy and harmonious family fell apart because of that fatal point of conflict.

After the reform and opening up, his efforts finally paid off, and he became the richest man in China. However, he did not leave his property to his two sons after his death, but donated it all to the country.

Although it was a dream, it left Tu Mingcheng with lingering fear and made him cherish his wife even more. He decided to leave the money-making to his son.
