Chapter 30: The Great Play "Zhao Laoda is truly unlucky. He was fine during such heavy rain, but once it stopped, his foot was crushed by a rock." "You have no idea. As soon as I went up there, I heard his girl screaming. I walked over and saw Zhao Laoda still pinned under the rock, all covered in blood. It was a mess." "He's lucky to be alive. A little closer and it wouldn't have been just a leg, he would have lost his life." Liu Bingkun finished his explanation in one breath. Seeing that Zhao…- 138.6 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 29: Taking it to Court The floodwaters receded, leaving Qingshan Village in a state of utter ruin. The Zhao family home was severely damaged. The courtyard wall had collapsed, crushing the vegetable garden into a pulp. The patch where they usually grew greens was now nothing but a muddy mess, without a single leaf left behind.

- Chapter 28: Awakening "Dad!" Zhao Chun charged forward like a small cannonball and hugged Zhao Mengcheng tightly around the waist. "Daddy." Zhao Xin's movements were a moment slower.

Now, he was stuck on the mountain, unable to move forward or retreat. Starving until his stomach was stuck to his back, Monkey Face did not dare show his face because of the guilt…

- Chapter 26: Downpour By the third day of heavy rain, the river had already overflowed, submerging the large stones used for washing clothes. Every day, as Zhao Mengcheng meditated and regulated his breathing, he felt the moisture in the air increasing without sign of stopping. After some thought, he went to find the Old Village Chief. The Old Village Chief was fretting over the losses to the autumn harvest. Seeing him approach, he forced a smile. "Thanks to your reminder, the harvest wasn't a…

- Chapter 25: Heavy Rain Zhao Mengcheng thought making tofu was hard enough, waking up in the middle of the night to work like a donkey, but the autumn harvest was even more exhausting, working from dawn to dusk. The donkey they just bought could rest when it was tired, but the farmers during the autumn harvest never stopped for a moment. To say every drop of sweat shattered into eight pieces1 was a literal description, not an exaggeration. They headed to the fields at the first light of dawn and…

- Chapter 24: Selling a Daughter Zhao Dasao's face, already pulled tight with displeasure, grew even longer. She reached out and pinched her daughter hard. "You wretched girl, are you trying to get yourself killed? It's not like we can't put food on the table, so why on earth would we sell our children?" "Where did you hear such nonsense? Do you really think entering a wealthy household means living in luxury? Those are places that devour people whole without spitting out the bones1." Zhao Xiaohua…

- Chapter 23: Famous Far and Wide "Brother Zhang." Zhao Mengcheng found Zhang Dahu at the small tea house as usual. Zhang Dahu was not surprised by his arrival and poured a cup of tea, inviting him to sit down. Zhao Mengcheng sat down and first offered his thanks. "It is all thanks to your great influence, Brother Zhang. The people at the Yamen gave me a heads-up in advance, otherwise I might have been in trouble this time." "Today I will use tea instead of wine to toast you, Brother…
