Zhang Zhiguo was reborn. In his previous life, he was a good son and a good older brother. He always put his family first and his wife and children last.
As a result, his eldest daughter, desperate to escape their poverty-stricken home, married a blond punk the moment she left school. His second daughter was given away at her mother’s decision because she had bronchitis as a baby. His youngest son grew up to be a good-for-nothing hoodlum without even a house to get married in.
His wife worried herself sick, but Zhang Zhiguo was busy acting as guarantor for a loan to help his younger brother, Zhang Zhiwen. In the end, his brother ran off, leaving him saddled with the entire 300,000 yuan debt.
His wife was so furious she ended up in the hospital, and his son’s hard-won engagement fell through because of him.
Only then did Zhang Zhiguo learn that he wasn’t his mother’s child at all. He was the posthumous son of his father’s first wife, who had died before he was born.
The family he had spent his whole life being dutiful to had only ever wanted to use him, doing everything they could to squeeze out the last bit of value he had.
And the people who truly cared about him had lost all hope in him over the years.
Fortunately, fate gave him another chance: he was reborn. This time, he would take his wife and children far away from those bloodsuckers, focus on building a good life for his own family, and never let anyone use him again!
