Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

On the second day of the New Year, everyone started to visit their relatives. Dong Xiulan brought the children to her parents’ house.

Gu Yundong did not have any relatives to visit, so she brought Madam Yang and the other two to the county school to wish Mr. Qin a happy New Year.

In the afternoon, they went to the Liu residence. Old Master Liu had a married eldest daughter who happened to be back, so they did not go out.

On the third day of the New Year, Gu Yundong did not go out again. Zheng Gang brought his family over, and Zhao Zhu actually brought Gousheng over to pay New Year greetings.

On the fourth day of the New Year, an unexpected person came to the door.

This person was wearing patched clothes and holding a walking stick. Her hair indicated that she was already half a hundred years old, and she was trembling as she stood at the entrance and looked around.

Father Tong almost thought that she was here to beg. After asking a few more questions, he found out that this old lady was Old Madam Qian from the neighboring village. She said that she was here to return the money.

However, when she reached the house and saw the imposing door, she was a little afraid. Her heart was beating like a drum, so she hesitated and did not dare to knock.

Father Tong did not recognize this person and quickly went to report to Gu Yundong.

Gu Yundong asked her to come in first. Seeing that the old lady was very cold, she quickly moved the brazier over to let her warm up.

At this moment, she also remembered who the Qian family in the neighboring village was.

It was the Big Qian that she had caught with when he came to her house to be a thief with Zhuangzi and Hu Liang.

Back then, when she asked the four of them to hand over five taels of silver, Hu Liang handed it over. Zhao Zhu’s family was alright, and they gritted their teeth and handed it over. Zhuangzi’s family handed over a little, and the rest was paid off.

Only Big Qian. At that time, three of the four people’s families had arrived, but no one from his family had come. Therefore, in the end, he left after writing an IOU. There was no news after he left.

Later, when Zhuangzi became familiar with her, he told her that Big Qian had gone out to look for work.

He only had one grandmother. She was old and clumsy. When Big Qian was born, he fell sick. His parents brought him to the county city to see a doctor. The county city was very chaotic that year. At that time, the county magistrate was not only afraid of death, but also extremely stupid. There was a fight in the city every other day. His parents were implicated and both died.

In the end, Big Qian was brought back by a fellow villager. He even recovered from his illness.

Rumors spread among the villagers in an instant. They said that he was a jinx who doomed his parents and exchanged his parents’ lives for his own.

Big Qian had been criticized since he was young. Even though his grandmother did not believe those words and was good to him, he still developed an inferiority complex, and a sensitive, and malicious personality.

He didn’t have any friends when he was young and was often beaten up until he was covered in injuries. Later on, he slowly grew up and knew how to fight back, but he couldn’t beat most of them.

Hu Liang could be considered his first friend. Not only did he help him when he was beaten up, but he also brought him along.

After following him, Big Qian knew that what Hu Liang did was not the right path.

But what did it matter? They were friends and should help each other. Besides, these people scolded him and hit him first. They only stole a little and didn’t hurt them.

Look, after he followed Hu Liang, these people were scared to death when they saw him.

Grandma Qian was furious because of this, but what could she do? She was old and could not control it.

It was not until a few months ago when Grandma Qian fainted from anger and the doctor said that she could not be agitated anymore that Big Qian came back to his senses.

He only had one family member. They had relied on each other since he was young. How could he bear to let anything happen to her?

Therefore, Big Qian went to Hu Liang and said that he did not plan to fool around in the future and would farm obediently.

Of course, Hu Liang was unwilling. Even Zhuangzi and Gousheng could not understand at that time. They scolded him for being ungrateful and worse than a beast.

However, Big Qian had already made up his mind. He had no choice. In the end, Hu Liang asked him to do one last job.

At that time, they had gone to steal Gu Yundong’s money, but they failed..
