Chapter 1 Rewards After Rebirth
Chapter 1 Rewards After Rebirth
Have you ever dreamed of going back to your hometown?
Xu Chunsheng hasn't dreamt of returning to his hometown for many years.
But he dreamed about it now.
He even saw his sister, whom he had always wanted to save, in his dream! His sister who committed suicide at a young age!
Xu Chunsheng could only see that the walls around him were mottled and the wooden lattice windows with yellow paint frames.
He suddenly realized that the place where he was seeing his sister now was the place where he had received an award when he was young.
Although he hadn't dreamed about it for many years, he still remembered it.
After all, something memorable happened here.
"state!"
"Xu Chunsheng! What are you doing standing there?"
Just like he remembered, his older sister Xu Chunhua slapped him on the back of the head, then grabbed his ear and said, "I called you three times and you wouldn't listen. You just got a twenty-yuan bonus and you're already acting all high and mighty..."
But it was this slap that made Xu Chunsheng realize he wasn't dreaming, but that he was back in real life!
At this moment, the people at the service window all looked over after hearing this voice.
Immediately afterwards, these people saw the two siblings arguing in the middle of the hall.
"Ouch... Sis, good sister, my ear's going to fall off."
Xu Chunsheng quickly yielded, bending over repeatedly as he followed his sister as she walked outside.
Although his mind was in turmoil, there was no time to be stunned; saving his ears was the priority.
However, he just remembered again why he was at the police station in his hometown.
A few days ago, a robber carrying a knife broke into an empty house in broad daylight to steal things. When he was discovered, no one dared to stop him on his way out. Only 17-year-old Xu Chunsheng, like a hothead, pounced on the robber and pinned him down. He almost got slashed on the arm.
The police station made a special effort to publicize this in the town and also notified the village to give him a good commendation and a reward of 20 yuan. In those days, 20 yuan was enough for a rural farmer to live on for half a year.
Although it was a good thing, it also scared his family quite a bit. His eldest sister was so frightened that she grabbed his ear and scolded him while still feeling scared, afraid that he would show off like that again next time.
But at this moment, Xu Chunsheng was both bewildered and shocked. Had he been reborn?
It's fucking amazing that I have a chance to start over.
At this moment, Xu Chunhua also loosened Xu Chunsheng's grip on her head.
However, Xu Chunsheng remained standing, watching his elder sister, Xu Chunhua.
Before long, his eyes welled up with tears.
Because he hadn't seen his older sister for over thirty years.
In his past life, he caused his older sister a lot of worry because of his reckless behavior, and he also did many things that made her anxious and angry.
Xu Chunsheng then suddenly hugged Xu Chunhua tightly, burying his head in his sister's shoulder: "Sister, sister... In this life, I will never let you suffer because of me again."
Xu Chunsheng remembered that his older sister agreed to marry Qian Junwei, who was rich but had a bad temper and whom his sister did not like, because he had gotten into a fight and had to pay compensation.
This led to her sister's marriage becoming a tragedy. After marrying into the Qian family, she was tormented in various ways and eventually committed suicide by drinking poison.
Xu Chunsheng regretted this his whole life in his previous life. If he hadn't caused trouble and gotten into a fight, if he had dared to stand up and stop his sister, his sister wouldn't have committed suicide.
But where are there so many "ifs"?
Since God has given me a chance, I can't let these awful things happen again!
My eldest sister is only 19 years old this year, and she still has more than a year before she gets married. There's still plenty of time.
"What's wrong with you?"
The eldest sister, Xu Chunhua, noticed the onlookers and felt uncomfortable. She pushed Xu Chunsheng with both hands, telling him to let go.
Xu Chunsheng released his arms from his sister and instead gripped her shoulders, his eyes shining with an astonishing light.
"Sister, everyone in the village knows we're here to collect the prize money, right? I'm afraid some people might be thinking of asking me for money."
Xu Chunsheng grinned, walked around behind Xu Chunhua, and pushed her towards the outside of the police station.
In my past life, it was this 20 yuan. I had just received it and hadn't even had a chance to enjoy it when someone borrowed it. The person who borrowed the money never paid it back and even refused to acknowledge it.
The 20 yuan he earned at the cost of his life was also lost.
This caused him, who was short of money at the time, to regret and feel annoyed for a long time, and his family members were no exception.
The eldest sister, Xu Chunhua, was taken aback. She glanced at her younger brother and was secretly amazed that he seemed different from before, starting to use his brain and having his own tricks up his sleeve.
Xu Chunhua's tone softened as a result: "It's not that money can't be lent out, it depends on the person."
"Sister, you're right. We shouldn't lend money to people like Qian Junwei!"
Xu Chunsheng echoed this, then walked forward with the twenty yuan in his pocket in his hand.
The older sister was taken aback again: "Of course you can't lend him the money, he's a complete scoundrel, always swindling and cheating. But haven't you always considered him a brother? Why won't you lend it to him?"
Xu Chunsheng chuckled coldly.
He must have been really stupid in his past life to consider a scumbag like Qian Junwei as a brother.
As a result, when she stood up for him and got into a fight, and was about to go to jail because she didn't have the money to pay him back, he not only refused to pay her back, but also took the opportunity to force her older sister to marry him, ultimately causing her sister's death.
Thinking of this, Xu Chunsheng felt only hatred for Qian Junwei, not brotherly affection.
"Spring is here!"
At this moment, Qian Junwei, wearing a "sow suit" over a white shirt and a big floral tie, walked over from the opposite side and called out to him, while his eyes darted towards his older sister.
Xu Chunsheng and his elder sister stopped in their tracks.
Qian Junwei walked over and patted Xu Chunsheng on the shoulder: "I heard you caught a robber, and the police station even gave you a 20 yuan reward. You're awesome, kid!"
As he spoke, Qian Junwei pulled Xu Chunsheng aside: "If you're a true brother, lend me twenty yuan. I have something urgent to attend to!"
Xu Chunhua followed, saying, "Qian Junwei, your family is so rich, why are you borrowing money from my brother?"
"Big sister, you don't know this. I borrowed it from Chunsheng so that I could help him in the future."
"Because I'm currently partnering with someone on a big business deal that's sure to make a fortune, but we happen to be short twenty or thirty yuan right now. Once this deal is finalized, I'll bring Chunsheng and his brother along!"
Qian Junwei said with a smile.
Xu Chunsheng felt nauseous for no reason, and even felt inexplicably angry. After all, judging from Qian Junwei's words, he was asking him for money because he was doing it for his own good, and he should be grateful to him.
But he knew very well that Qian Junwei wasn't borrowing money to do any big business, but to gamble.
of course!
Even if Qian Junwei wanted to borrow money to start a business, he wouldn't lend it to him.
He simply didn't want to deal with such a despicable person anymore.
Qian Junwei reached directly into Xu Chunsheng's pocket and said, "Hurry up and give me the money!"
Xu Chunsheng slapped his hand away.
Seeing this, Qian Junwei's face turned cold: "What, you're unwilling to lend it?"
"Don't you consider me a brother?"
