Chen Jinsui’s son died at the age of eighteen, while he was in his senior year of high school.
If he hadn’t died, he would have already taken the college entrance exam and been waiting to go to university.
He was his only son, and also the greatest pride and entire source of motivation in his life.
People who knew Chen Jinsui and his son often said, this child really doesn’t look like his father, tall, handso, and studious.
Otherwise, perhaps smoke is rising from Chen Jinsui’s ancestral grave, how else could soone as ordinary in appearance and lacking in knowledge have such a good son?
But Chen Jinsui knew, this is indeed his son, genuinely his son.
The son looked a lot like his mother, smart like her too, his wife who had passed away ten years ago.
His wife was good in every aspect, except for her poor health, weak and sickly from childhood, a dicine pot; if it weren’t for this, she wouldn’t have married him.
But no matter how unwell his wife was, she gave him a good son, so he didn’t mind and always treated his wife well; while she was alive, their family of three had a very good relationship.
Anyway, he was a local, owned a house, could live in it or rent it out, and he had a stable job at a factory.
After his wife’s death, he never thought about remarrying, having a son and a house, good days were ahead.
He thoroughly enjoyed the life of working, collecting rent, and raising his son.
Originally, he hoped to live this kind of life until old age, but a demolition notice shattered the peace at ho.
The neighbors were happy to move out, hearing about new houses and receiving a lot of cash.
But the Chen family was nostalgic; they just enjoyed living in their house with a yard to grow vegetables.
No matter what conditions the developers offered, they said they didn’t want to move.
The Chen family didn’t want to move, and the developers were anxious.
Thus, the developers started to wear them down, trying every tactic both soft and hard on the Chen family.
Just as Chen Jinsui was about to compromise and both parties were preparing to sit down and negotiate, things took a 180-degree turn.
Chen Jinsui’s son, returning ho after tutoring one late night, sohow fell into a nearby construction pit and died.
Upon receiving the news, Chen Jinsui imdiately lost his mind.
He believed it was all the developers’ fault; if they hadn’t wanted to demolish and build houses, his son wouldn’t have fallen to his death at night.
After he finished his son’s funeral alone, not eating or drinking, sitting at the door watching the construction site clatter every day, he had a crazy idea of revenge.
In Jincheng, at the Ske Fencing Training Center.
Three middle-aged n with dark, rough skin were hiding behind the low bushes nearby, watching two little boys who had just walked out.
"How co there are two little boys? Doesn’t Shi Jinrong have only one son?"
"Jinsui, did you get it right?"
"I got it right, it’s Shi Jinrong’s son."
It was nearing sumr vacation, having just finished a class, even though the fencing center had air conditioning, the chubby Shi Tongyang still felt unbearably hot.
Now that he was outside, it felt even hotter.
"It’s so hot, I want to eat ice cream."
"What flavor do you want?" Shi Wangyue asked, looking at the nearby snack shop.
"Never mind, I’ll go myself. You wait here." Shi Tongyang couldn’t wait any longer, threw his backpack onto Wangyue, and quickly ran to the snack shop.
The Ske Language Training Center was right next to the fencing center; Shi Xiuyan had just finished her French class and only saw her cousin, but not her brother.
"Where’s my brother?"
Shi Xiuyan was ten years old this year.
The little girl developed quickly; she wore a white dress and already had the elegant deanor of a young lady.
"He went to buy ice cream."
"Why didn’t you buy it for him?" she asked slightly dissatisfied.
Shi Wangyue didn’t want to engage with her question, turned slightly to look elsewhere.
One of the n near the low bushes not far away, upon seeing Shi Xiuyan, beca more excited.
"That’s Shi Jinrong’s daughter."
"We can’t afford to slip up this ti." Chen Jinsui said with a heavy tone, insanity peering through his eyes, though the two beside him, tense and excited, didn’t notice.1314
