Chapter 85 Time Travel 2
Although Ma Jiansen is only 22 years old, he has a more mature mindset than many of his peers because he started working in society at a young age due to his poor family background.

He met his wife when they were both struggling, and she was also very hardworking.

However, just because a wife can endure hardship doesn't mean she deserves to endure hardship or has to endure hardship.

Ma Jiansen knew that he didn't have much education or skills; all he had was his physical strength.

Knowing that construction work was lucrative, he joined in.

He didn't want his wife and children to suffer with him; he wanted to do everything he could to give them a better life.

And he is working hard at it.

"By the way, how long until your baby is born? You should invite us to your wedding banquet!" his coworkers joked.

Ma Jiansen touched his head, his eyes full of expectation and tenderness, "There are still three months left, I will definitely invite you then."

pity……

The scene shifts, and not long after Ma Jiansen said those words, he became the third live stake chosen by Zhang Hengquan.

Ma Jiansen is destined not to see his child born.

He might even be separated from his wife and children by death.

The wind seemed to gradually stop, but it was filled with a sobbing sound. Was that Ma Jiansen crying?

The sorrow was silent, yet now it was deafening.

It filled everyone with sorrow.

Xu Qingling calculated the time; Ma Jiansen's child should have been born by now, a baby in swaddling clothes.

I just don't know how they are doing now.

And what about Zhan Bingjun's sister, Liang Zhonghe's biological parents? Are they still searching for their child day after day?

They should have been searching in both directions.

Sadly, they are now separated by death.

Xu Qingling wondered if she should tell Liang Zhonghe's biological parents where they were. If she didn't tell them, even if they continued searching, they would still hold onto hope. They would think that even if they couldn't find their child, he might be living a good life somewhere in the world. But if she told them, she would have to endure the pain of her child being abducted and searching for him for over a decade when she was young. Now that they had finally found him, she would have to bury him, and the child would die in such a tragic way. How cruel that would be for them.

Never mind, we'll see.

In the flashback, the scene shifts again.

Another young boy.

Zhou Shun made a whimpering sound; it was Ping An, his Ping An.

Zhang Hengquan's gaze also fell on Zhou Ping'an.

The moment he saw Zhou Ping'an's face clearly, especially his eyes which were almost identical to his wife's, his eyes widened and his breathing became rapid.

No, impossible, absolutely impossible!
In the picture, a handsome young man has bricks stacked on his back, eventually making him taller than himself, and his back is almost bent.

As he walked, you could see two plasters stuck to his waist where his clothes were exposed.

"Ping An, take it slow, there's too much for you to handle," a coworker advised. "You stepped on a nail just two days ago and bled so much. You should go and rest."

Zhou Pingan turned around with difficulty, peeking his head out from under a stack of bricks. Sweat had already soaked his forehead and his hair was completely wet.

He forced a smile and said, "I'm fine. My foot is all better now. I can handle it."

Seeing his determination, his fellow workers stopped trying to persuade him.

I just watched him work so hard, carrying bricks and bags of cement. Because he was paid by piecework, he worked more than others when they were working and didn't rest when they were resting.

I only sleep five or six hours a day. When I close my eyes to sleep, I work non-stop when I open them.

Even when eating, he would quickly shovel down a few bites and then continue working.

"You're still young and growing. If so much weight is on your back, you might hurt it and not grow up properly." "I'm fine."

"Hey, you're only 17 years old. Why aren't you studying properly? Why are you working on a construction site?"

"I want to save money to buy my dad a cochlear implant." Zhou Ping'an didn't hide this from his coworkers.

"A cochlear implant, what is that?"

“I know, it’s for people with hearing problems. I heard it costs at least 5 yuan.”

"Correct."

Through Zhou Ping'an's account, his coworkers learned that his father was not his biological father, but his adoptive father, who was also deaf and mute.

However, Zhou Ping'an spoke of his father with great pride.

“Although my father is deaf and mute, he is very smart and runs a garbage dump. I grew up no worse off than other children. My father would give me almost anything I wanted, and I had what other children had.”

“My dad taught himself lip reading, can read, and knows a lot. If he weren’t deaf and mute, he would definitely be very capable.”

Zhou Ping'an's most admired person is his father.

Even though he suffered criticism and strange looks from others when he was a child because his father was deaf and mute and because he was found, Zhou Ping'an never felt ashamed.

"I survived because my dad found me."

"My dad is such a kind person. If I could, I would wish he were my real dad."

When talking about his father, Zhou Ping'an's eyes lit up, and his face and eyes were full of smiles.

My memories of the time I spent with my father are all joyful.

“My dad always sacrifices a lot for me, and I want to do something for him too.”

"Dad's birthday is in a month..."

He wants to earn enough money before his father's birthday to buy a cochlear implant as a birthday gift, so that his father can hear the sounds of the world.

In the scene, things seem to be going smoothly. Zhou Ping'an, who worked so hard, finally saved enough money to buy a cochlear implant from the hospital.

It was quite late, and I hadn't packed my luggage yet.

So he returned to the construction site for the time being and plans to resign and go home tomorrow.

Unfortunately, that very night, he inadvertently witnessed Zhang Hengquan and Qian Yong murdering Liang Zhonghe.

He intended to leave to call the police, but accidentally startled the two of them.

In the video, Zhang Hengquan stood at a distance. Because it was night, he couldn't see Zhou Ping'an's face clearly, only remembering that he was a boy.

When Qian Yong said that the boy's age was just right for the fourth "raw stake" (a type of training exercise), Zhang Hengquan nodded.

"Dad..." Zhou Ping'an was completely pushed in, and his cry of "Dad" was buried.

But Zhang Hengquan in the video heard it.

For some reason, his heart skipped a beat, and he, who was usually so hard-hearted, suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Only after he completely left the construction site did his heart gradually calm down...

The wind stopped, and it seemed to have carried away all these images as well.

The time rewind has ended.

Tears streamed silently down Zhou Shun's face.

He couldn't hear, but he saw and knew every word Ping An said.

His peace is also that of a very good and kind child.
