Reborn as an 80s-aged woman, her unfilial son begs for forgiveness on his knees.

Then let Zhang Wenying see that even without her, Li Jianguo still has an apartment building to live in, and let her be envious.

Ma Hongping was overjoyed and took the initiative to kiss Li Jianguo's lips.

Li Jianguo's interest was rekindled by her kiss, and his hands began to wander restlessly over her waist: "What, haven't you satisfied yet?"

"screw you."

Ma Hongping playfully slapped him, but her eyes were full of laughter.

"I'm just happy. The thought of living in an apartment building in the future makes me feel wonderful."

Li Jianguo got even more excited after hearing her words, rolled over and pressed down on her again, reaching out to touch her most sensitive spot: "Then I'll make you happy a few more times tonight."

As night deepened, the occasional barking of dogs could be heard outside the courtyard wall, but inside the house, a scene of idyllic beauty unfolded.

Li Jianguo tossed and turned for most of the night before finally falling into a deep sleep with Ma Hongping in his arms.

Unbeknownst to anyone, in the next room, a small, thin figure was peering through the crack in the door, having heard everything that had just happened.

The child clenched his fists, a cold glint in his eyes that seemed out of place for his age.

He bit his lip, quietly retreated to the bed, and pulled the blanket over his head.

In the darkness, only those eyes shone eerily brightly...

Zhang Hongyuan had already inquired about the mountains in the suburbs.

"Wenying, are you really going to buy that mountain?"

That hilltop is just trees and barren slopes, what can you do with it?

Zhang Wenying sat on the sofa, picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said with a firm look in her eyes: "Brother, I don't do business that loses money."

The trees on the mountain don't need to be moved, but on that hillside, you can hire someone to plant fruit trees, and they'll bear fruit in three to five years.

"We'll not only be able to sell fruit, but we can also set up a picking garden. City dwellers will love to go to the countryside on weekends."

Zhang Hongyuan frowned: "But how much money do we need to invest? Do you have that much money?"

"You know, that hilltop is only for rent, not for sale. I gave the village chief a pack of cigarettes, and he pulled some strings to buy it, but it cost eight thousand yuan."

That's eight thousand yuan!

Zhang Wenying remained unfazed, put down her teacup, took out a bulging envelope from the inner room, and pushed it in front of Zhang Hongyuan: "Brother, here is eight thousand yuan, count it."

Zhang Hongyuan took the envelope, his hands trembling slightly. When he opened it, he saw neat stacks of ten-yuan bills, a total of eighty stacks!

"Brother, take this money. We'll sign the contract tomorrow."

Zhang Wenying spoke calmly, as if he were only handing over a few dollars.

Zhang Hongyuan held the stack of money, his hands trembling even more violently: "Wenying, this...this..."

He never imagined his sister would have so much money!

"Big brother, listen to me."

If anyone in the village wants to sell their house or land, then you should buy it.

If you don't have enough money, I'll lend it to you.

Zhang Wenying's gaze swept over her elder brother's shocked face, her tone filled with unwavering certainty, "Listen to me, you won't go wrong."

She knew what the future held. This mountain would be worth a fortune someday.

That village in the suburbs will also be requisitioned and developed due to urban expansion in about ten years.

At that time, the compensation alone will be enough to turn the eldest brother's family around.

Zhang Hongyuan clutched the wad of money, his Adam's apple bobbing, before finally managing to squeeze out a sentence: "Wenying, you...you know something, don't you?"

Zhang Wenying smiled, not answering directly, but gently patting her elder brother's hand: "Brother, just trust me."

Some things are hard to explain now, but you'll understand later.

Only after renting the mountain did Zhang Wenying finally feel at ease.

To others, that mountain was just a useless mountain range, but to her, it was the most valuable asset for the next ten or twenty years.

When Zhang Hongyuan returned, Zhang Wenying prepared a packet of tea, five catties of braised meat, and several sets of new clothes for him to take back to his sister-in-law and nephews.

Zhang Hongyuan's eyes welled up with tears. Without asking any more questions, he picked up his things and turned to leave.

My sister has changed.

He wouldn't ask too many questions anymore, but he believed whatever his sister said.

Li Wenhai's third brother-in-law arrived.

There was only one purpose: to borrow money.

He genuinely liked that girl.

While no one was home, Mother He repeatedly instructed her son: "When your sister comes back in a little while, tell her that the dowry they want is six hundred and three large items."

Even if your sister can only come up with five hundred, Mom can still give you a proper wedding with the rest of the money.

Mother He lowered her voice, her eyes filled with a mixture of calculation and expectation...

Li Xiaojuan goes to the night market every night.

Zhang Wenying had a business that made money from that place, and she would come over occasionally to buy cheap cigarettes, alcohol, and stamps from that era.

Li Xiaojuan buys everything.

She would bring home comic books, cigarettes, alcohol, and other old things, even a cigarette box she found on the street.

The people there really enjoy collecting things like cigarette boxes, matchbox stickers, and all sorts of old-fashioned receipts. Li Xiaojuan carefully categorized and stored these items, calculating how she could sell them for a good price there.

What bothered her was that she would occasionally run into the person who annoyed her—Han Jun—at the night market.

I haven't seen Song Yuzhen these past few days, but the Han army is like a persistent ghost, like a rat hiding in a ditch, always popping out when you least expect it.

Ever since Zhang Wenying caused a scene at his home, Han Jun has hated her with a passion that is practically gnashing his teeth.

It was all because of Zhang Wenying that his and his sister-in-law's reputations were ruined. The rumors outside made his parents afraid to even leave the house, and his two nephews were also gossiped about.

Li Xiaojuan was ruthless; she not only beat Song Yuzhen so badly that he had to stay home for two days, but she also made him lose all face.

He really wanted to remarry Li Xiaojuan.

But when he found Li Xiaojuan that day, she not only gave him a thorough dressing-down, but also exposed his dirty secret with Song Yuzhen in front of everyone.

She also said that his family had a bad reputation, and that she was not a good match for them, that she was not good enough for them.

Li Xiaojuan's attitude is very tough now, and her tone is full of disdain for him.

Even when I see him, I don't give him a friendly look.

Han Jun was seething with anger, but dared not provoke her any further.

Because Zhang Wenying was a crazy woman, she would dare to attack him with a knife if she found something wrong with him. He could only watch Li Xiaojuan wandering through the night market from afar, feeling both hatred and a burning desire.

Li Xiaojuan is now very successful.

Her shop earns several hundred yuan every day.

The South Korean army was extremely envious, but they could only watch helplessly.

If he and Li Xiaojuan hadn't divorced, all the money she had would have been his!

But now, he can only watch helplessly, not daring to even get close.

He crouched in the shadows by the roadside, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and stared intently at Li Xiaojuan's back.
