Zhang Ruolin was so excited at that time. Even though he is now old and has a head full of white hair, he still remembers that Manni seemed to be extremely relaxed at that time.

He is neither stupid nor dumb. Compared with others, the only thing Zhang Ruolin can show off is that he is young and strong. He has not been able to save enough money to buy a house to live in Shanghai after all these years.

But Xu Manni, the woman he was going to marry, was different. Although she was a woman and an older woman at that, she owned a small Western-style house and obviously a lot of private properties.

It was obvious that the two were not a good match. Almost everyone around them looked down on them, and the contempt and disdain in their words and in their eyes when they looked at Zhang Ruolin was almost overflowing.

But Zhang Ruolin didn't care, or he felt a little uncomfortable, but for Xu Manni's sake, he tried his best to ignore this feeling!

Zhang Ruolin was not sure whether the gossip of others would leave too many marks in his heart as time went by, and then ruin his beautiful family. However, at that time, Zhang Ruolin was really happy, and Xu Manni was perfect in his eyes.

"Uncle Xie, I'm getting married. Hehe, I'll bring you some more wedding candies! Maybe you'll even be able to eat the red eggs I gave you soon!" Zhang Ruolin was very happy to tell Xie Sicheng such a happy thing. He was the mentor who almost changed most of his life, and in his heart he deserved more respect than his master.

But he felt somewhat guilty when he mentioned Xu Manni's situation. He didn't want to see even a trace of contempt in Xie Sicheng's expression. Zhang Ruolin knew that his situation was different from marrying into the family in name only.

But no, Xie Sicheng was just stunned for a moment before he reacted, patted Zhang Ruolin on the shoulder and gave instructions with a smile.

"Good boy, you are more patient than your uncle was in the past. Your wife is so good, won't your future life be like soaking in a honey pot? This is something that many people envy, and if someone says something sour to you, it's just jealousy! Some people want this kind of good thing but don't have it yet. Don't quarrel with your wife because of outsiders in the future, understand?"

A wife, children, and a warm bed, such a simple life is something that many people envy. Xie Sicheng looked at Zhang Ruolin, who had already changed into more decent clothes, and his eyes were filled with relief.

Zhang Ruolin nodded happily, he was not really stupid. That's right, that's right, Zhang Ruolin now thinks of his timidity and hesitation at that time, now it is a bit ridiculous. Foreign enemies invaded, the mountains and rivers were broken, even if he wanted to live a simple and happy life in peace and order, it was not easy.

Zhang Ruolin, who had not learned many words at that time, did not understand the principle that if the nest is destroyed, all the eggs will remain intact.

Zhang Ruolin thought that his retreating attitude was too obvious at that time, and he didn't expect Xie Sicheng to go to that extent for him. You know, when he knew that Xie Sicheng was arrested, he couldn't sleep for a day, for fear of exposing him, and waited for the final verdict in fear.

But no, there was no strange movement at all.

Zhang Ruolin's actions in Shanghai seemed to be reasonable. No one came to him and no one suspected him. Someone had helped him erase all traces in advance, and the only person who could do this was Xie Sicheng.

The other party was really too good to him, so good that he was a little scared. So good that Zhang Ruolin felt that the other party must have ulterior motives. Zhang Ruolin didn't think that Xie Sicheng was a coward and would betray him if he couldn't stand the torture, but he wouldn't help him erase the traces in advance.

For a long time afterwards, Zhang Ruolin lived with this doubt, and soon after he finally discovered the reason, but he would rather not have discovered it.

Sometimes, for a person, losing is not terrible. What makes people regret most is losing again after getting it. Zhang Ruolin never thought that Xie Sicheng was actually his biological father, but what makes people sad and regretful is that he did not cherish the time they spent together.

Zhang Ruolin regretted it so much at that time. If only he had known it earlier, if only he had known it earlier. But even if he knew it, it was useless. He became a deserter, but Xie Sicheng, who had always been firm in his beliefs, would never agree.

No matter how sad or upset you are, life must go on. The dead are dead, and no matter what the living think in their hearts, they must go on with their lives.

After getting married, Zhang Ruolin is a man after all. Although he has long known the gap between him and Xu Manni, he has no intention of sitting back and enjoying the fruits of his labor. Manni has been looked down upon and ridiculed for marrying him, so he has to make himself and Manni proud, right?

The most capable person Zhang Ruolin could get in touch with was Shen Wenjiao, a kind-hearted girl. For a long time, Zhang Ruolin did not realize what Shen Wenjiao was hiding, and when he saw the heroic Shen Wenjiao, he was so scared that he didn't even dare to chat with her.

This girl is really a tiger!

The days that followed were as beautiful as a dream for Zhang Ruolin. He had a job, a much more respectable job than pulling a rickshaw, and more stable than that of a timid pianist who appeared glamorous on the surface but was actually only aware of his guilty conscience.

Manny also became pregnant and gave birth to a son. At that time, Zhang Ruolin felt that his whole life was perfect.

But it seemed that God could not bear to see him living a normal and good life. The Japanese came, and the terrifying war also came.

Their house was not in the concession, but it was close. Every day, they watched the Japanese arrogantly walking back and forth on the street. No matter who they were, they were suffering. Those bodies abandoned on the roadside were all their compatriots!

It seems that today is really a good day to reminisce about the past. Zhang Ruolin subconsciously thinks of the past and it is becoming clearer and clearer at this moment.

He still remembered that when he went out, Manni carefully helped him pack his clothes and kept telling him to be safe. It didn't matter if he couldn't buy any food, as the family could save money and survive for a few more days.

After giving birth, Manny showed even more maternal radiance, which dazzled Zhang Ruolin.

But he never thought that this separation would last a lifetime, and Manny, who was hiding at home, died in such a humiliating and undignified way.

Hatred surged in Zhang Ruolin's eyes. Even after so many years, he still hated them as much as before. Those Japanese who broke into their home and committed violence were beasts, and the two members of the Peng family who helped bring these beasts back to their home were even worse than beasts.

How desperate Manny must have been at that time!
