Chapter 1

At the foot of Daqing Mountain in Anning City, Xiqin Province, there is a picturesque village called Zhuyuan Village.

Zhuyuan Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side. Although the mountains are clear and the scenery is beautiful, the village has become increasingly deserted due to inconvenient transportation.

In the early morning, as the sun had just peeked out, Liu Wei entered the back mountain.

As he walked, he took out his phone and started sending WeChat messages to a girl named Li Jiaojiao.

"Jiaojiao, I'm here! Why haven't you come yet?"

"Can't get away, my dad is always watching me." Li Jiaojiao replied instantly.

"No problem! Find a chance to slip out! We must meet, no matter what!"

Not long after, Liu Wei saw Li Jiaojiao running over.

She was wearing an open jacket, and underneath, a white V-neck tight sweater that accentuated her chest, which jiggled as she ran, making it hard for him to look away.

Li Jiaojiao was quite exhausted and squatted in front of Liu Wei, saying, "I'm so tired! I won't run this far next time!"

As Li Jiaojiao squatted down, the two full mounds in front of her chest were revealed to Liu Wei. The expanse of snow-white and the deep cleavage were almost fatally tempting, making Liu Wei's blood boil, his heart race, and his breathing quicken!

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Li Jiaojiao looked at Liu Wei's appearance and felt a bit strange.

Liu Wei finally came to his senses and stammered, "Oh, I, I, Jiaojiao, let's go to the city in a couple of days! What do you think?"

Li Jiaojiao's face was a bit unnatural as she held his hand and said, "Brother Wei, I came today to tell you something!"

"What is it?" Liu Wei was a bit surprised; Jiaojiao had never taken the initiative to hold his hand before.

At that moment, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared, and seeing the scene, he shouted in anger, "Liu Wei! You scoundrel! How dare you touch my daughter! I'll beat you to death!"

Liu Wei was startled; Li Jiaojiao's father, Li Yukun, had actually come. He hadn't done anything.

Seeing Li Yukun about to strike with a stick, Liu Wei didn't have time to explain and quickly dodged, then ran away.

Liu Wei managed to dodge, but Li Jiaojiao couldn't avoid the stick! She was hit solidly, and a red mark immediately appeared on her arm.

"Ah!" Li Jiaojiao cried out in pain, seemingly just coming to her senses. She didn't expect her father to appear at this moment, and she was both anxious and angry, with tears welling up in her eyes.

Li Yukun, who had missed Liu Wei, hit his own daughter instead, and became even angrier, scolding her, "You shameless girl! I've been suspicious of you for a long time. I didn't expect you to come here so early in the morning to act so shamelessly! You have no shame, but I do!"

Li Jiaojiao, whether from pain or fear, burst into tears, her tears streaming down her face.

Li Yukun became even angrier: "What are you still doing here? Get out of here quickly! I'll deal with you when I get home!"

Li Yukun, no longer caring about his daughter, saw that Liu Wei was almost out of sight and hurriedly chased after him.

As he chased, he shouted, "Liu Wei, you scoundrel! If I don't beat you to death today, I won't be a Li!"

Liu Wei looked back and saw Jiaojiao sitting on the ground crying. The sight made him heartache, and he couldn't help but argue, "Jiaojiao and I truly love each other! I will marry her!"

"Ha! A toad dreaming of eating a swan! Do you think you can marry my Jiaojiao? You're just dreaming in broad daylight! You'll never be able to!"

Liu Wei was furious: "Why can't I marry Jiaojiao? I love Jiaojiao, and Jiaojiao loves me! What right do you have to disagree?"

Li Yukun picked up a stone and threw it at Liu Wei, who quickly ran away, almost getting hit!

He chased after Liu Wei with a stick, taunting him: "What qualifications do you have to marry my daughter? You're a farmer who can't even farm, with no education, no skills, no job, and no house. What do you have? If Jiaojiao marries you, she'll just suffer. I'd rather die than let Jiaojiao marry you!"

Liu Wei fell silent for a moment, feeling deeply hurt.

Although he had nothing now, he was young and could still work hard to earn money, but he was looked down upon by others.

Liu Wei shouted in frustration: "Just because I don't have money now doesn't mean I won't have it in the future! I will work hard to earn money and make Jiaojiao live a good life!"

Li Yukun sneered in contempt: "With your current state, you think you can become rich? I think you're just a waste of space! A pile of garbage! A pile of dog shit!"

Liu Wei stopped, feeling deeply insulted. Even a clay figure would have some anger, especially with Li Yukun calling him "waste," "garbage," and "dog shit," which made him feel even more hurt, his mind filled with thoughts.

"Since you look down on me and consider me a waste, I'll show you how this 'waste' will turn things around!"

"When I have money in the future, I'll use it to crush you! I'll make you kneel before me and see what expression you have on your face!"

He didn't say these words out loud, nor did he rush to fight! If he hit Li Yukun, he and Jiaojiao would be finished.

Li Yukun, seeing Liu Wei's appearance, wasn't afraid. He was determined to give Liu Wei a severe lesson so that he would never dare to think about Jiaojiao again.

Taking advantage of Liu Wei's pause, he quickly caught up and struck him hard.

Liu Wei, caught off guard, was hit and turned to run, not daring to stop.

Li Yukun didn't hold back, chasing after him with the stick.

The two, one chasing and one fleeing, ran to the edge of a cliff. Liu Wei, not paying attention, slipped and tumbled down.

Instinctively, he reached out to grab the thorns, but he pulled them out by the roots and fell directly down.

"Am I finished... Am I going to die like this?"

"This cliff is bottomless; if I fall, I'll definitely die! I shouldn't have run. Would Li Yukun really dare to kill me?"

"I don't want to die! I'm only twenty! I haven't even gotten married or had children! What will happen to my family if I die?"

These were Liu Wei's last thoughts, but what could he do about it? There's no such thing as a regret pill!

Li Yukun, seeing Liu Wei fall, quickly reached out to grab him but missed, watching helplessly as he fell off the cliff!

"Finished! I actually made him fall!"

"If Liu Wei dies, I'm finished too! Even if the police don't bother me, Liu Zhigao will come after me!"

"I should have just beaten him a few times to teach him a lesson. Why did I chase him? Now it's really over! It's really over!"

Li Yukun sat on the ground, staring blankly at the cliff.

The wind whistled past his ears, and Liu Wei closed his eyes in resignation. With a "thud," he hit the ground and lost consciousness...
