Reborn in 78, I made my fortune by working in the mountains, supporting three families on my own.

This "he" naturally refers to Zhao Lei!

Although the three women had already gone through divorce proceedings with Zhao Lei, they could never truly let go of each other.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have stayed at the Zhao family's house and refused to leave.

Jiang Xinyue wore her hair in a bun, her face solemn.

She knew early on that Zhao Lei had taken Qin Bowen up the mountain to hunt.

As darkness fell and the person still hadn't returned, a deep sense of worry arose in his heart.

In just a few days since Zhao Lei returned, he has not only earned more than 200 yuan, but also paid off 100 yuan of his debt.

Just as things were starting to look up at home, Jiang Xinyue was terrified that something might happen to the other person.

Sitting opposite Jiang Xinyue, Qin Yuchan also had a furrowed brow and remained silent.

Several dishes of food were placed on the old wooden table, covered with bamboo lids.

It was clearly dinner specially reserved for Zhao Lei.

The food was completely cold by now.

Outside, all was quiet; the entire village was almost asleep, but Zhao Lei was still nowhere to be seen.

Qin Yuchan always verbally criticized and lectured Zhao Lei.

But she spent the most time with Zhao Lei, and their daughter is already eight years old.

Zhao Lei had been hiding from his debts for more than half a year before. Although she had resentment, she had never felt so panicked.

But today, her heart was pounding and she couldn't calm down.

Upon hearing Su Wanqing's question, Qin Yuchan instinctively retorted, "Who has time to worry about him?"

"My two younger sisters, if you're sleepy, go to sleep first. I'm here to prepare the lesson plan for tomorrow's class."

"Worried about that jerk? He was gone for half a year back then, what's so strange about him not coming back for just one day? Don't overthink it..."

At this point, Qin Yuchan's words carried a hint of sarcasm, "I reckon Zhao Lei's come back this time with ulterior motives..."

"He's only been back for two days, and neither of you could resist him. He's already taken advantage of you. Now he's just gone, having had his fun, and is probably off off wandering around again!"

Jiang Xinyue and Su Wanqing blushed after Qin Yuchan's words.

The two had never thought about it in this direction before, but after Qin Yuchan's prompting, the more they thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Could it be that Zhao Lei was really just lusting after their bodies?

He pretended to change his ways and came back to deceive them, but after succeeding, he went out to fool around again.

Thinking of this, a sense of loss welled up in their hearts, and the two of them lowered their heads.

Looking at the two of them, Qin Yuchan continued to tease, "Don't think of Zhao Sanshi as some kind of good person. What decent man would get married and divorced three times?"

"The three of us sisters are all pretty and capable. Back in the day, I was the most beautiful girl in our Heping Production Brigade. Matchmakers lined up all the way to the town to come and propose marriage!"

At this point, Qin Yuchan sighed deeply: "Back then, I was also fooled by the Japanese!

Jiang Xinyue and Su Wanqing had never heard of Qin Yuchan and Zhao Lei's past relationship.

She quickly pressed on, "Sister Yuchan, how did you and Sanshi get together in the first place?"

Qin Yuchan picked up her water glass, took a sip, and slowly began to reminisce.

"I remember it very clearly. At that time, my older brother Qin Dashan gathered the young people in the village to repair the road. I often went to the construction site to bring water and food to my brother. Over time, I noticed this young man, Zhao Sanshi."

"Back then, he was handsome, young and strong with a heroic air, and worked very hard. He was the most outstanding among a group of young men, so I noticed him."

I had just been transferred back to the village from the township to work as a teacher, and I didn't know anyone in the village. He took the initiative to get close to me through my older brother's connections, showing concern for me every day, and with a few sweet words, he won me over..."

After hearing this story, Jiang Xinyue and Su Wanqing couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The three sisters chatted amongst themselves, recounting their experiences of meeting Zhao Lei, filled with emotion.

The more they talked, the deeper her attachment to Zhao Lei became.

Seeing this, Qin Yuchan earnestly advised, "Girls, people's hearts are easily changed, it's easy to go astray, but it's as difficult as climbing to heaven to go astray!"

"I told him that his personality had changed drastically these past two days. He was earning money to support his family and taking the initiative to help me with heavy work. He was so well-behaved that he was not like himself at all."

"I've always suspected he was plotting something bad, and last night I gave in and he took advantage of me... Sure enough, he's vanished today!"

Just as the three ex-wives sat together, confiding in each other and secretly speculating about Zhao Lei's whereabouts, a series of footsteps suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate.

The three people in the main room immediately became alert.

They asked in unison, "Who?"

The three women went outside and, sure enough, speak of the devil and he appears...

The person who arrived was none other than Zhao Lei!

At this moment, Zhao Lei was exhausted. He had carried more than 100 pounds of wild boar meat for more than four hours on mountain roads, which had almost exhausted all his strength.

Throughout the journey, he was worried about his wife and children, which is why he gritted his teeth and persevered to get home in one go.

Upon seeing his three ex-wives, his tense nerves finally relaxed.

With a thud, the half-portion of wild boar meat on its back crashed heavily into the yard, the loud noise startling the three women.

Su Wanqing quickly reminded him softly, "Sanshi, keep your voice down, the children are asleep."

Jiang Xinyue then came to her senses and, by the moonlight, examined the things Zhao Lei had thrown on the ground. The more she looked at them, the more familiar they seemed...

She quickly stepped forward and examined it closely: "Oh my, pork! Such a big half-portion of pork, Sanshi, where did you get this?"

Jiang Xinyue was sent down to the production team for labor reform. Her job was as a feeder at the brigade's livestock farm. She dealt with livestock every day and immediately noticed that something was wrong with the half-portion of pork.

Zhao Lei was panting heavily, and gave an embarrassed smile.

My legs suddenly went weak, and I almost fell to the ground!

Fortunately, Su Wanqing reacted quickly and caught him in time.

Upon encountering Zhao Lei, Su Wanqing was instantly terrified!

Something is wrong!

In the late stage, Su only felt a large patch of slippery, sticky liquid on his hand.

Having practiced medicine for many years, she was very familiar with it; this was fresh blood that had not yet dried!

Seeing Zhao Lei's pale face, Su Wanqing anxiously asked, "Blood, why is there so much blood? Sanshi, what happened to you? Are you injured? Where are you hurt? Tell me!"

Qin Yuchan and Jiang Xinyue, who were standing nearby, felt their hearts sink upon hearing this.

The courtyard was dimly lit by moonlight. The two men had been so worried about Zhao Lei that they hadn't noticed the bloodstains at all. After being reminded, they quickly gathered around.

Upon closer inspection, Zhao Lei was covered in blood, with patches of blood crust on his clothes, and fresh blood was still dripping down his hem.

Without thinking too much, Qin Yuchan and Su Wanqing, one on each side, helped the exhausted Zhao Lei walk towards the main room.

Zhao Lei was simply exhausted but still conscious. He quickly explained in a low voice, "Don't worry, I'm not injured, this blood isn't mine."
