Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

For Li Zhenxing's intentions, Liao Zhi'an, as a police officer, naturally had to do his utmost to dissuade him.

This case was already in his hands; if it wasn't handled well and another life was lost afterward, he would certainly have to bear responsibility.

So he said to Li Zhenxing:

"Don't be so impulsive. Even if you want to divorce your wife, it can't be done in a moment. The law now has a new clause requiring a one-month divorce cooling-off period. If you do anything extreme now, your wife will bear joint liability."

Hearing this, Li Zhenxing trembled slightly.

The killing intent in his heart indeed lessened somewhat.

He had already failed them, mother and daughter, enough in this lifetime.

Now that his daughter was dead, he couldn't implicate Luo Jiaxin any further.

"Is that so..."

Li Zhenxing said with red eyes:

"Then let Zhou Zhihao compensate 100,000, and we'll write a letter of understanding."

Li Zhenxing looked at Luo Jiaxin:

"This 100,000 will all be transferred to your card, and tomorrow we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for divorce. Once the cooling-off period is over, we'll immediately handle the divorce procedures."

Luo Jiaxin's face twitched slightly.

She had always had great resentment toward Li Zhenxing, but now that he did this, she found she couldn't bring herself to hate him.

She even felt somewhat soft-hearted.

"Actually, life will get better, right?"

Luo Jiaxin looked at Li Zhenxing with red eyes.

She was asking Li Zhenxing, but at the same time asking herself.

To be honest, since Li Zhenxing went into debt, she had endured enough of these bitter days.

She didn't know how many times she had thought of divorce, but in the end she still hadn't spoken up.

Even when sending away the child Li Yuncui had given birth to, she had been so easy and decisive, but when facing her marriage with Li Zhenxing, she struggled back and forth.

Not for any other reason, only because she knew Li Zhenxing had truly loved her.

Not only loved her, but had always loved her.

Whether in the past or now.

However, Li Zhenxing shook his head, his eyes also turning red:

"It's impossible now. There won't be any miracles in this world."

Li Zhenxing also spoke to apologize:

"I'm sorry. I've messed everything up."

One can only say that life is sometimes like this. It's not that if you work hard you can definitely live a good lifetime, nor is it that if you treat your children well they will grow into the ideal image.

Li Zhenxing's entire life could be said to have been harder-working than most people.

It was precisely because he worked so hard that by the late 1990s he was able to move into the city ahead of other rural people!

However, doing business in the city seemed glamorous and limitless, but actually his ability to bear risk was far worse than farming in his rural hometown!

He just lost a little money, then one mistake led to another, losing more and more, robbing Peter to pay Paul, finally creating a bottomless pit of debt with his own hands, even having to play the lottery, gamble, seeking that one-in-a-billion chance of a turnaround.

Because he knew that working honestly, he could never pay off those debts in a lifetime.

As for his children's education, he doted on Li Yuncui beyond measure. When Li Yuncui was young, she basically had everything handed to her and never suffered any hardship. But in such a loving family, Li Yuncui gradually changed from a smart, cute, likable little girl into a rebellious and self-degrading delinquent girl, her grades plummeting, and she couldn't even get into university.

As for getting pregnant early and being abandoned by that man whom her parents had never even met to this day, it nailed Li Yuncui's fate firmly in the mud, leaving her no chance to climb back up.

As for Zhou Zhihao's later appearance, she thought it was salvation, but never expected it was destruction.

Liao Zhi'an went to convey Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin's request to Zhou Zhihao.

100,000 yuan in compensation, and they could reconcile.

After Zhou Zhihao was detained, he was also very regretful.

He thought Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin would definitely never forgive him no matter what.

But to his surprise, Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin instead took the initiative to propose conditions for understanding.

100,000 yuan, and he could be released without guilt.

But 100,000 yuan was not a small amount for him either.

When his parents learned he had caused such a great disaster, neither wanted anything to do with him.

Fortunately, his Second Uncle Zhou Hongwei had not given up on him.

Zhou Hongwei came to the police station and saw Zhou Zhihao.

He felt a mix of pity for Zhou Zhihao's misfortune and anger at his lack of improvement.

"Zhou Zhihao, Zhou Zhihao! How could you be so muddleheaded? I told you to go watch over Wang Erhai's farm properly, how could you still get involved with Li Yuncui! Haven't you been hurt enough by her!"

Zhou Hongwei was hopping mad.

Zhou Zhihao kept his head down:

"Second Uncle, I was wrong! At first I didn't intend to do anything to Li Yuncui, but in Shangou Village it was just too boring. I had nothing to do, and Li Yuncui was wandering around in front of me, so I couldn't help but have improper thoughts. Besides, you can't blame me entirely. When I first dragged Li Yuncui into the cornfield, I didn't see her resist at all. She actually enjoyed it, okay!"

Zhou Hongwei was nearly angered to death by Zhou Zhihao:

"Li Yuncui is already dead, and you're still saying these things! I read the police investigation report. You actually went to do that kind of filthy thing in her marriage room on her wedding day! Are you still human? Do you have any conscience or morality at all!"

Zhou Zhihao lowered his head:

"I... I just thought, one last time... Second Uncle, I really was wrong. Now Li Yuncui's parents want me to pay 100,000 yuan in compensation, and only then will they be willing to forgive me. Can you help me pay this sum? I have no money left."

Zhou Hongwei was fuming:

"Your own parents don't want to deal with you anymore, did you know that?"

Zhou Zhihao lowered his head:

"I've disappointed them..."

"This isn't disappointing them, this is driving them to despair! A grown man like you, and you still don't understand a thing! My big brother and sister-in-law, they'd have been better off giving birth to a piece of char siu than giving birth to you!"

However, after scolding Zhou Zhihao, Zhou Hongwei still agreed:

"That 100,000 yuan compensation, I'll lend it to you. Once you're out, go to the city and work properly, don't go causing trouble for me again!"

Zhou Zhihao clung to it like a drowning man grasping a straw rope, his face full of excitement, nodding like a chicken pecking rice:

"Okay okay, I'll listen to everything Second Uncle says!"

Zhou Hongwei spoke again:

"Additionally, after you get out, you not only have to properly apologize to Li Yuncui's parents, but also to Wang Erhai. Wang Erhai gave you such a job opportunity, yet you stirred up such a huge mess, leaving them now not knowing how to face Wang Yaohua and his family!"

Zhou Hongwei felt full of apology toward Wang Erhai.

Because he knew, Wang Erhai this was purely a disaster falling from the sky, an undeserved calamity.

Additionally, he himself also had to go apologize to Wang Erhai, because initially it was he who recommended Zhou Zhihao to Wang Erhai, so this matter, he also needed to bear a certain responsibility.
