Ancestors, I told you to seduce the villains, not to turn evil.

Li's parents hope that Li Meng will wake up soon so they can write to the important figures and ask them to find a way to rescue Li Bin.

Having eaten so much of their food, it's time to repay their kindness.

The atmosphere at the Liu family's home was somber and gloomy.

The table was covered with bowls, chopsticks, leftover food, and scraps, but the Liu family didn't clean it up; they just sat in the room with their heads down.

I think of the hesitant expressions on the faces of my relatives and friends as they left.

Everyone in the Liu family felt as if they had a lump in their throat, unable to breathe or let it out.

The good-for-nothing they had painstakingly kicked away has now transformed into an apprentice of a big shot and even has a job working in the armed forces department.

The head of the military affairs section is a section-level leader, far superior to Cai Xin, a mere clerk.

Father Liu puffed on his pipe, one puff after another, filling the entire room with the pungent smell of tobacco.

Liu's mother moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but then felt that nothing she said would be right, and sighed.

Liu Minhua's mind was in turmoil, but only one thought remained in her mind: Fei Huainan had turned the tables.

She tugged at her fingers, feeling a little resentful.

Since Fei Huainan has such great abilities, why didn't he tell her sooner?

If it were him, she would have begged her parents not to call off the engagement.

The somber atmosphere at Liu's house was also present at the village chief's house, Li Botao's house, and Wu Laizi's house.

Wu Laizi lay on the bed, trembling all over.

That's it. They framed Fei Huainan back then, and now Fei Huainan is a leader in the armed forces department, with a higher rank than Li Botao. They definitely won't let him off the hook.

Wu Laizi is in his thirties this year. Because of his ugly appearance since childhood, he has been disliked by others.

At twenty-seven or twenty-eight, everyone else had gotten married, but he hadn't, and he felt jealous of them.

When he sees those young wives, he can't help but take a second look and try to take advantage of them.

That year, he saw Fei Huainan's mother washing clothes by the river, and her graceful figure immediately attracted his attention.

Wu Laizi followed Fei's mother to the riverbank and stood not far away, looking at Fei's mother with lewd eyes.

When Fei's mother saw this, she was frightened, quickly washed the clothes, and left.

He had impure thoughts, but dared not do anything.

Fei Huainan's father dotes on his wife; if he found out that Fei Huainan had feelings for Fei's mother, he would beat him to death.

Wu Laizi watched Fei's mother leave before turning to leave himself.

He had only taken a couple of steps when someone grabbed his hair, dragged him to the riverbank, and kicked him in.

It was already August, and the river water was icy cold. As soon as Wu Laizi went in, he shivered all over.

He swam frantically toward the shore, but before he could get close, a stick pushed him into the river.

Wu Laizi then got a good look at Fei Huainan, who was only a teenager.

At that time, Fei Huainan was only fourteen years old, but he was already a head taller than Wu Laizi.

The young man had a cold gaze, and the stick in his hand was even more ruthless. When Wu Laizi met those eyes, he felt incredibly creeped out.

He wanted to call for help, but there was no one around.

For the first time, Wu Laizi felt fear from a small child.

Finally, Wu Laizi was allowed to climb up after dark.

He fell seriously ill after returning home and almost lost his life.

From then on, Wu Laizi never tried to take advantage of Fei's mother again.

Later, the village was flooded, and Fei Huainan lost his parents, so he joined the army.

Six or seven years passed, and Wu Laizi forgot the fear he had felt at the time. When Li Wu came looking for him, besides wanting to get benefits, he also wanted revenge.

Now that he has not avenged his grievances, he is doomed.

Wu Laizi was so frightened that he cried.

……

At Fei Huainan's house, Xu Manman is planning to go to the county town tomorrow. She has organized the sketches she has prepared in advance and put them into her space.

I'll mail these manuscripts out tomorrow.

While I'm at it, I'll drop by Grandpa Zheng and Grandma Bao's place to bring them some food and see if they've sent any letters.

The mailman broke his leg and couldn't deliver letters for a while, so she asked the county mailman to deliver the letters to Grandma Bao.

Because they were going to the county town the next day, Fei Huainan and Xu Manman went to bed early that night.

Outside, the cold wind howled, but inside the house it was warm and cozy, and Xu Manman slept very comfortably.

The next day, the two of them got up, ate some breakfast they had taken from the space, and cleaned up.

The car arrived at Fei Huainan's doorstep.

The driver was the minister's personal driver. He was quite young, and when he saw Fei Huainan and Xu Manman, he greeted them with great enthusiasm as "sister-in-law."

Xu Manman smiled and agreed, then got into the car with Fei Huainan.

As soon as the car passed the center of the village, Xu Manman saw a person not far away.

It's not even dawn yet, who could it be?

Xu Manman took a few more glances, and when the car got closer, she finally saw the other person's face.

Liu Minhua stared longingly at the car, a gentle smile playing on her lips, as if she had been waiting there for a long time.

Xu Manman nudged Fei Huainan's arm and gestured with her chin towards the window.

Fei Huainan glanced at it, then looked away and explained to Xu Manman.

"I'm not familiar with her."

He never took the arranged marriage he had made to heart, and he never read Liu Minhua's letters, even after the so-called annulment of the engagement.

Fei Huainan never responded, silently watching the Liu family put on a grand show.

Through the car window.

Liu Minhua watched as Xu Manman sat in the car, chatting and laughing with Fei Huainan. Neither of them gave her a second glance.

Liu Minhua had been standing there for an hour, and her legs were frozen stiff. She wanted to greet Fei Huainan properly.

Xu Manman absolutely refused!

How could she be so stingy?

Liu Minhua watched the car drive away, biting her lip in resentment.

The car made its way to the county town, and Fei Huainan first took Xu Manman to Grandma Bao's house before going to the Armed Forces Department.

Grandma Bao's face was still full of kindness, and she was overjoyed to see Xu Manman coming over.

She led Xu Manman into the house, took her to the stove, and told her to warm her hands.

Zhou Lei has already gone out to sweep the streets with Grandpa Zheng.

There was a heavy snowfall the day before yesterday, which significantly increased our workload.

Grandma Bao was worried about Grandpa Zheng, but Grandpa Zheng had a good attitude and didn't mind at all.

Xu Manman smiled and comforted Grandma Bao for a few moments before heading to the post office to mail the letter.

She happened to be passing by where Grandpa Zheng was working, and Grandma Bao asked her to take a pot of hot water to Grandpa Zheng.

Xu Manman took it, put it on, and left.

As soon as she arrived on the street, she saw a group of people gathered around. She immediately went forward and saw Zhou Lei being held down by two thugs, and Grandpa Zheng being pushed and walked away by the thugs.

Xu Manman's expression changed.

In the dream, Grandpa Zheng was pushed to the ground by thugs, his head hit a stone, and he died on the spot.

The thug didn't notice Xu Manman. He glanced at the stone behind him, his eyes flashing.

Once this old bastard is killed, his good days will begin.

The man promised to give him five hundred yuan afterward.

The thug had been a petty thief since childhood, doing all sorts of bad things, including murder.

He felt no guilt whatsoever, and reached out to shove the old man's body hard.
