Reborn in 1985, starting from the mountains of Northwest China

Zhao Baogen turned and ran, but Yang Kai kicked him to the ground, then twisted his arms and handcuffed him.

Thus, the Zhao family gang, which had been terrorizing Chenjiagou for years, was completely crushed!

Chen Zhengang, looking at the villagers below who were discussing amongst themselves, cleared his throat: "The history of the Zhao family harming Chenjiagou is completely over. Today, they have all been arrested! Anyone who has been bullied by them in the past is welcome to provide clues!"

The village chief's words silenced the entire room. Everyone stared at Chen Zhengang in disbelief. After a long while, a deafening roar of celebration erupted in the hall!

The poisonous needle that pierced the village has finally been pulled out!

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was lively, Chen Zhengang then introduced the deeds of Chen Feng and Lao Huang, but this time the applause was noticeably quieter.

While many people were genuinely happy for Chen Feng's family, many others were inattentive and perfunctory.

"There's nothing we can do. A lot of people are hoping you're having a bad time, so they'll have something to talk about," Old Huang said in a low voice. He had lived in Chenjiagou for decades and had seen too many people's true colors.

"It's alright, the important thing is to live our own lives well! Let others think what they want!"

Chen Feng didn't care about these things. After the village chief finished speaking, they sat down together to eat.

Some of his closer friends came over and tried to get Chen Feng to drink with them, but he had to go sell meat the next day, so he politely declined.

Seeing that Lin Xiu and the two children had almost finished eating, he got up to leave. Chen Zhengang hurriedly walked up to him: "Take this money. Although it's not much, it's a token of the village's goodwill towards you."

Chen Feng was stunned when he saw the twenty yuan handed to him by the village chief. Chen Zhengang had also changed a lot during this period.

You could tell from his eyes that he no longer had that calculating look from before; instead, his eyes revealed a genuine sincerity!

"Okay!" Chen Feng took the money. "If the village ever needs anything in the future, just let me know!"

Chen Zhengang looked at Chen Feng with a sigh, reflecting on his own actions over the past few days. He had learned from other leaders that he would never be promoted in his lifetime.

But if you can build a good relationship with someone as capable as Chen Feng, your child won't have a bad future.

Lin Xi also came over: "Brother-in-law, I don't have much money on me, so take this fifty yuan!"

Chen Feng felt a lump in his throat. Lin Xi's family situation was similar to his own; neither of them had much money. He originally didn't want to accept the money, but Lin Xi was very insistent and forced it into his hand.

"I'm busy taking care of my wife these days, so I can't find the time. Let's go hunting in the mountains after I'm done with this!"

"Okay, I'll have Lin Xiu get you a few pounds of bear meat to try later. It's different from pork, so you'll have to cook it a little longer, otherwise you won't be able to eat it."

"Hahaha, I've never eaten bear food in my life before, I'm only doing this because of you!" Lin Xi was genuinely happy for Chen Feng. He had always doted on his younger sister since she was little, and he had previously worried that Chen Feng wasn't doing well.

Now that Chen Feng is doing better and better, it's actually Chen Feng, as the brother-in-law, who's benefiting from his brother-in-law's success!

"Oh, by the way, Old Man Yang asked me to pass on a message. Yang Chengwu is still in the hospital. His family simply can't afford it, so he's too ashamed to come and thank you in person. But once he has the money, he'll definitely come to express his gratitude!"

"Tell Uncle Yang not to take it to heart. He helped my dad back then, so it's only right that we did this!"

The families that Chen Feng had previously helped learned that his father had a tumor and had been trying to raise money in the past few days. Taking this opportunity, they all came forward to express their gratitude.

Chen Feng originally planned to keep accounts and pay back the money when he was better off in the future. But no one was willing to accept his IOU.

"What are you doing? My child would be dead if it weren't for your help! I think this money isn't enough, so you're not allowed to give it back!"

"That's right, that's right. We'll be quite familiar with each other now, so let's visit each other more often."

Chen Feng felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He hadn't really thought much about it when he went up the mountain to rescue the people. But the villagers who had received his kindness all rushed to help him when they saw him in trouble.

Seeing this, Lin Xiu's eyes also reddened. Her husband was no longer the one who was never home; instead, he was becoming more and more loved by the villagers.

When they got home, Chen Feng counted the money. It totaled 103.58 yuan. Adding the money they had raised earlier, they had 230 yuan.

Second brother Chen Lin also rushed over: "This is forty-five yuan from my family. Chen Feng, you take it too. You must get Dad cured!"

……

Chen Jun has been taking care of his father at the county hospital for the past few days. Chen Laogeng has injured his leg and now has difficulty getting out of bed.

As the eldest son, he was responsible for taking care of all his daily needs, including eating, drinking, and toileting.

"Boss, I misjudged you before. I never expected that the unreliable third brother would turn out to be the most capable among you brothers!"

Chen Jun nodded. He had witnessed his third brother's actions during this time. He was indeed more decisive and insightful than him and his second brother!

"Yes, my third brother has matured too. I used to always worry about him, but now he's the one who's shouldering the responsibility for our family."

"I've already told him that you shouldn't go back to work in the mine after spring. You need to learn Zhang the blacksmith's skills properly! Stop acting like a big shot, let Chen Feng mentor you!"

After lying in his hospital bed for several days, Chen Laogeng had thought about many things. He decided that after he passed away, his three sons must unite.

"Dad, I understand." Chen Jun understood the meaning behind his father's words and burst into tears.

"What are you crying for! Your father is perfectly healthy!" Chen Laogeng scolded his son. Chen Jun had a rather mild personality, but he was indeed filial to his parents. He needed to find a good way out for him; doing manual labor all the time was definitely not a solution.

"May I ask who is Chen Laogeng's family member?" the doctor asked as he entered the ward, holding a stack of medical records.

"Yes, that's me," Chen Jun replied hastily.

"Then please come out here for a moment."

Chen Jun hurriedly followed the doctor, and as soon as they stepped out of the ward, he anxiously asked, "Doctor, how is my father?"

"The situation isn't very optimistic. Your father's follow-up test results came back. The benign tumor is showing signs of developing into a malignant tumor."

Chen Jun had been cramming on the relevant knowledge these past few days, so he naturally understood the difference. He said in a trembling voice:

"Doctor, you must save my father! We're willing to pay any price for treatment!"

Although the doctor was used to seeing life and death, he still felt a pang of sympathy seeing a grown man weeping uncontrollably in front of him: "Regarding your father's condition, I recommend surgery as soon as possible. If the surgery is successful, there is hope for a full recovery!"

Chen Jun nodded: "Then let's arrange the surgery as soon as possible. Doctor, how much do you want? We'll go raise the money!"

"It will cost a total of one thousand dollars."
