A single man checks into a couples' room; his life of ease and comfort begins.

That day, things were almost done, just one step away.

Hao Qiangzhuang had already picked up Zhao Qing and buried her in the haystack. Zhao Qing's mother, who was also the owner of the rice noodle shop, was named Ning Guna.

She was rather plump and quick in her work. It could be said that her family's current comfortable life was all thanks to Ning Guna.

Ning Guna's husband, who is also the shop owner Uncle Zhao, is actually named Zhao Dashan.

Zhao Dashan and Ning Guna were husband and wife. Zhao Dashan was getting married for the first time, while Ning Guna was getting married for the second time. She brought her eldest son Zhao Quan and daughter Zhao Qing with her when she married Zhao Dashan, an old bachelor from the same village.

After marriage, Ning Guna gave birth to a son for Zhao Dashan.

Zhao Dashan really liked Hao Qiangzhuang and often joked that he should call him "Dad" and become his son-in-law.

However, Ning Guna disagreed, saying that the two had only met a few times, and besides, her daughter had excellent grades, was a top student in the elite class of the No. 1 High School, and was going to attend a key university, become a civil servant, and become an official.

This was Hao Qiangzhuang's first time interacting with a girl. He was really naive back then and didn't dare to do these things.

If it were the current Hao Qiangzhuang, he probably would have already won Zhao Qing over.

They huddled together in the hay, and Hao Qiangzhuang simply held her tighter, asking tenderly, "Are you warmer now?"

That's how women are. Even if you touch them, they might not be yours, but if you don't touch them, there's absolutely no chance they'll be yours.

When the firewood burned to its fullest extent, the entire cave became incredibly bright. Hao Qiangqiang held Zhao Qing and lay down in the haystack. The haystack was so soft, and Zhao Qing's body was so soft too.

Recalling what happened that night, Hao Qiangzhuang is still a little confused.

There's a saying that goes, "What you can't have always seems more alluring."

That night, Hao Qiangzhuang had completely lost his temper and was ready to take action.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Ning Guna, holding an umbrella, rushed in, completely soaked.

She was passing by and didn't intend to come in. Her flashlight was out of power, and when she saw firelight coming out of the cave, she assumed someone lived there.

When he rushed in, he saw his daughter lying naked in Hao Qiang's arms, the two of them lying in the haystack.

To be honest, Hao Qiangzhuang really didn't do anything; he just held Zhao Qing and wanted to keep her warm.

"Mom, ...I..." Zhao Qing wanted to explain, but how could Ning Guna possibly give her the chance?

Ning Guna jabbed the umbrella in her hand directly at Hao Qiangzhuang.

Every time Hao Qiangzhuang sees Zhao Qing and recalls the scene from back then, he feels a pang of heartache.

If I hadn't been so foolish back then, I might already be with Zhao Qing, and things might not be like this today.

That night was truly embarrassing. It rained for a whole day and night, and Hao Qiangzhuang's body was covered in bruises from Ning Guna's poking.

Ning Guna, shivering from the cold, glared at Hao Qiangzhuang and huffed, "Wait for me, let me rest a bit, then I'll stab you to death, you little bastard, you little hooligan, yawn..."

It was windy and rainy outside, and the road was slippery. Ning Guna was soaked to the bone and it was really cold, so cold that she couldn't stand it.

At this moment, Zhao Qing stepped forward, stopped Ning Guna, and said excitedly, "Mom, he and I really didn't do anything."

Ning Guna, having been through similar experiences, refused to believe it. Staring intently at Hao Qiangzhuang, she growled, "You bastard, I don't care what you've done! You have no chance of being with my daughter!"

Ning Guna felt a tightness in her chest as she thought about what happened that day. So after bringing her daughter home that day, she remained depressed. In less than six months, her once-proud sexy figure and the charm of a small-town beauty disappeared, and she became the fat woman she is now.

However, Zhao Dashan really liked Hao Qiangzhuang, and after learning about this, he tried his best to get Hao Qiangzhuang and his stepdaughter Zhao Qing together.

Ning Guna disagreed. A few years ago, Zhao Qing took the college entrance examination and got into a key university. Hao Qiangzhuang didn't know about this and asked his father to go to Zhao Dashan's house to ask for her hand in marriage.

Isn't that embarrassing?

When I arrived, I happened to run into Zhao Qing's parents who were holding a banquet to celebrate her admission to a prestigious university.

Without any surprises or unexpected twists, Hao Qiangzhuang and his father Hao Aiguo were directly kicked out by Zhao Qing's mother Ning Guna.

Before he was finished, Ning Guna cursed him fiercely: "You, surnamed Hao, think you can marry my daughter? You should take a good look at yourself in the mirror."

Hao Qiangzhuang was depressed for several months before he finally emerged from the shadows. He then realized one thing: he could no longer be so honest. He would rather be a scumbag than an honest man.

With a change in mindset, the first factory he joined after heading south was his current company – Shenzhen Qiangnan Technology Co., Ltd.

It was precisely when his luck turned around that he had both wealth and romantic opportunities.

During this period, it can be said that anyone, directly or indirectly, became his stepping stone.

Now, let alone women, he has over 500,000 yuan in cash on him, and even more in savings.

When a person is lucky, it's like this: they can reach the sky in one step!

Actually, back then, Hao Qiangzhuang didn't blame Zhao Qing's family for disliking him.

Just look at Hao Qiangzhuang's house and you'll understand!

The pickup truck had driven onto a muddy country road, and the whole vehicle was covered in mud as it drove along.

There is a small stream in front of Hao Qiangzhuang's house, with willows planted on both banks.

The stream flows westward and never stops flowing throughout the year.

His house was right in front of the stream, a mud house with a main room, a bedroom, a kitchen, and a bedroom.

There was also a collapsed side yard where chickens, ducks, and geese were kept together, totaling more than two hundred, and they were squawking loudly!

The walls were made of mud bricks, and every room had a crack in the wall.

Hao Qiangzhuang still doesn't have a decent room of his own. In the main room, there is a bamboo chair, two meters long and two meters wide. When unfolded, it becomes a bed; when stood up, it becomes a sofa.

That was Hao Qiangzhuang's bed. There were two bedrooms, one for his parents and one for his grandparents.

Before his sister got married, Hao Qiangzhuang and his father Hao Aiguo slept together on a bamboo bed in the main room.

If guests come, it's even more chaotic; there's not enough room to squeeze in.

Back then, transportation was underdeveloped, and visiting relatives meant staying for one or two nights. It was an indescribable feeling. But visiting relatives was indeed a happy thing back then because you were treated to good wine and meat.

In rural areas, people usually cook one meal and eat it for several meals. Or they just cook rice and don't cook any vegetables. They just scoop out a bowl of pickled cabbage from the sauerkraut jar and that's enough for the whole day.
