"Honey, is this pressure okay? Do you want to apply a little more force?"

Suddenly, a human voice rang in his ear.

A little hoarse.

I have cried.

Lu Hao suddenly woke up with a start, his eyes darting around.

He found himself not at the company's IPO celebration, but in an old, dilapidated house.

This is a house of less than thirty square meters. The floor is made of cement, the walls are peeling, and a few old newspapers have been pasted on them. There's only one bed in the room, and next to it, on a bedside table made of plywood, there are some bottles, jars, mirrors, scissors, needles, and thread.

In the middle of the room stood a small wooden table, with two plates of leftover food.

Radish, winter melon, very vegetarian.

Everything was old and worn, but not unfamiliar. Nails were hammered into the wooden door, with a calendar hanging on it, June 16, 1987.

His pupils dilated suddenly, as if he had seen a ghost.

This was his home decades ago!

He was reborn!

He seemed unable to believe it. Turning around, he saw a person standing behind him. In his early twenties, he looked haggard with messy hair and some bruises on his face, but he was still very handsome.

A face of jade, lonely tears fall in abundance, a single pear blossom brings the spring rain!

In the era of internet celebrities, just a face is enough. You don't even need to say much to gain countless followers and drive wealthy fans to shower you with gifts.

Next to the man stood a child, about five years old. His hair was slightly yellowish and he looked malnourished, but you could still see the outlines of a budding human form.

He is her husband, Su Min. The child is their son, whose name is Lu Yiyi and nickname is Nini.

I've truly been reborn, back to the days when I had nothing and was penniless!

Seeing the two of them, he was very excited, tears welling up in his eyes, but Su Min's face only showed disgust and fatigue. Nini looked at him with fear in her eyes.

He understood why, because at that time he had nothing, not only that, but he also drank heavily, gambled, and beat his wife. He never took care of his children for a single day; he was just a scoundrel, so both his parents treated him this way.

"The ribs should be done by now, I'll go get them. Let's all three of us have a good meal together." Su Min sounded somewhat forlorn.

Upon hearing this, Lu Hao's pupils widened suddenly.

Ribs!

Have a good meal!

It was on this day that he lost his wife and son.

Su Min finally couldn't bear the long-term domestic abuse and the bleak future. On this day, she went to the market and bought two pounds of pork ribs, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a bottle of pesticide.

After the pork ribs were cooked, he mixed pesticide into the broth and intended to commit suicide. He ate two large bowls of pork ribs, while Nini, because she hadn't eaten for a long time, ate it very happily even though there was some strange taste.

He, on the other hand, found the taste strange and took a sip before realizing something was wrong. By the time he understood, it was too late, and both mother and child were beyond saving.

"Lu Hao, I hate you. I've been married to you for five years, and I haven't had a single day of happiness. For five years, all I've had is one failure after another. You don't deserve to be a father, you don't deserve to be a husband."

"I'm leaving, and I'm taking the child with me. The shoulder I just gave you was the last bit of tenderness between us as husband and wife."

"I hate you!"

Never again!

With tears streaming down her face, she spoke her final words.

Scenes replayed in Lu Hao's mind.

"Daddy, will you hug me? Nini's tummy hurts so much, can you hold me a little longer, please?" Nini walked away on the way to the hospital while he was holding her.

Curled up.

Only after losing something do you learn to cherish it. At that moment, he felt deeply guilty and knelt down crying. After his mother and wife left, he began to reflect on his actions. He made a resolution and spent 20 years working hard, starting from a small street vendor. Through hardships, he built a fortune worth hundreds of billions.

No amount of money can compensate for regret and guilt.

Thinking of these things, he burst into tears.

One is self-blame, the other is thanking heaven for giving him a chance to make amends!

"Honey, I'm sorry." He stood up and embraced Su Min.

Such a good wife, he actually doesn't know how to cherish her, what a jerk.

This time, I must catch it and never let go!

Ke Su Min, however, misunderstood his meaning. "Lu Hao, are you still human? The child is right here, and you think that way? After doing it, you thought about it again?"

"You're a real animal!"

I thought Lu Hao wanted it again.

This man is not a human being at all, he completely ignores her will. He resorts to violence when she disagrees and now he wants to do it in front of their child?

I'm so humiliated, I could bite through anything.

Looking towards the kitchen, the pesticide I bought is just there. Let it die, there's nothing left to keep.

"You misunderstood me. I just missed you so much. I'm so happy to see you again." Lu Hao's eyes were red, looking at the person in his arms, he was so excited that even his voice trembled, "I will never disappoint you for the rest of my life."

Su Minzi was a little stiff.

Will your husband speak up?

Missing you too much? Won't let you down?

Could this be coming from this man right in front of me?

Looking at the man in front of me, I couldn't believe it. We'd been married for five years, and he had either been hitting or yelling at me. He never took any responsibility as a husband, leaving me to care for both our children and him alone. Now, he's saying he won't let me down?

Are you drunk? That's the only reason you would say such nonsense.

On one side, Nini quietly tugged at the corner of her shirt, glanced at Lu Hao, then pointed to her own head and said to Su Min, "Mom, did he hit his head against the wall?"

Even the child doesn't believe Lu Hao would say such a thing.

"Dad didn't hit the wall, Dad has reformed, and from now on he will definitely let you and Mom live a happy life. He'll buy you pretty clothes, toys, and delicious food." Lu Hao hugged him tightly and kissed his face twice, "Dad is sorry for what happened before, Dad apologizes to you."

Nini was stunned.

I am very surprised and can't believe it.

Father's arrival was too sudden, I hadn't expected it at all.

Seeing the two women so shocked and suspicious, Lu Hao wasn't in a hurry. He believed that time would prove everything.

Put Nini down, go to the kitchen, take out a pesticide bottle from the corner, throw it into the trash can, and tie a tight knot on the garbage bag just in case. He'll take it out later to throw away.

Seeing her own pesticides being found and thrown away, Su Min wasn't particularly surprised. The house was so small, just under 30 square meters, that it wouldn't be strange for someone to discover the pesticides.

Nothing stopped Lu Hao from throwing the pesticide bottle.

If you really want to die, pesticide is easily available.

There are more ways to die than just by taking pills.

This will, my heart carried a touch of hope, perhaps Lu Hao really had a change of heart, cared for his family, and felt compassion?

"I'll ladle out the soup," he said.

Our family was very poor. I found a job outside to make some money, only earning 32 yuan per month. Lu Hao didn't take any of it. It was hard for the whole family to even get enough to eat. Two catties of pork ribs were very precious.

"You rest, I'll take care of it." Lu Hao washed his hands and went into the kitchen.

Rib and lotus root soup, simmered in a clay pot.

I tasted it, a little salty, so I added a pinch of salt. The taste was just right, and then I scooped it into my bowl.

Seeing Lu Hao busy in the kitchen, serving soup for himself and his mother, Su Min was stunned. Was this still her husband?

Ni Ni also looked at Lu Hao in the kitchen like a stranger. She turned to Su Min and said, "Mom, should we take him to the hospital?"
