Starting from Mounta Chapter 1

??Chapter 1: Rebirth in 1983

Lin Heng leaned against the large cabinet in the main room, his mind in chaos. He looked at his familiar yet strange parents, wife, elder brother, and younger sister, unable to believe his eyes.

He pinched himself.

Ouch! It hurt.

At the sa ti, distant mories began to replay in his mind, and he suddenly rembered everything.

He had been reborn. It was 1983, a ti when life was slow, thoughts were pure, and a lifeti was enough to love just one person.

He was really reborn!!

Tears welled up in Lin Heng’s eyes. The scene he had dread of countless tis had actually co true.

He had crossed a long span of 40 years, from 60 years old back to his 20th year.

“What’s wrong with you? Got sothing in your eye?” A clear female voice sounded beside him, and a soft hand poked him.

It was none other than Lin Heng’s wife, Chen Xiulan, a beautiful and gentle woman.

She looked at Lin Heng, puzzled, thinking he had sothing in his eye and wanted to blow it out for him.

“Nothing, nothing, just got sothing in my eye!” Lin Heng smiled, wiped away his tears, and suppressed his excitent.

In his previous life, he was known for being idle, lazy, and hanging out with bad friends all day.

With a middle school education, he thought he was great and always dread of making big money.

But he couldn’t make big money, and he didn’t care about small money. His family was poor, and his wife had to work hard in the fields to support the family.

Worse, in 1990, he partnered with soone to start a business, got scamd, and ended up with a debt of 50,000 yuan.

To repay the debt, his father, in his forties, had to work in a coal mine and never returned.

His wife also died from overwork a few years later, and his children didn’t recognize him.

When he lost everything, he finally woke up and turned over a new leaf.

He started working hard, studying diligently, and slowly paid off his debts. By the ti he was in his fifties, he had a fortune of two million yuan.

But he was not happy, living in self-bla and regret every day. He never expected that heaven would give him another chance to start over.

Looking at these familiar people, Lin Heng made up his mind that this life would not be like the last one. He would lead his family to a good life, living happily and joyfully.

“Second brother, the ginseng you dug up grew in my forest. I saw it a few years ago but didn’t dig it up because it was small.

I don’t want much. Just give

half of the money from selling the ginseng, and it won’t hurt our brotherly relationship.”

Lin Heng’s uncle, Lin Xuping, stood at the door with an old lady, speaking reasonably.

“Second brother, listen to your mother. Everyone saw you coming out of your elder brother’s forest. Just split the money from the ginseng in half.

Your elder brother has a hard ti too. He has to support

and help two sons and three grandsons. It’s not easy.”

Then, the old lady supported by Lin Xuping spoke tremblingly.

Hearing this, Lin Heng’s father, Lin Xuan, and his mother were both furious.

During festivals, they gave good food and drinks, but the old lady only thought of her eldest son and didn’t treat Lin Heng’s father as her own son.

“Elder brother, I dug this ginseng on Mount Taibai. I just passed through your forest on the way back. Does that make it yours?

If that’s the case, if you take money and pass through my land, is the money mine too?”

Lin Heng’s father, Lin Xuan, was so angry that his eyes widened. His elder brother was shaless.

“And mother, what you said is unfair. Is it easy for us? Don’t we have children and grandchildren to support?”

Lin Heng’s mother, Lu Hongi, was also indignant. They were both her sons, but the old lady only favored her eldest son.

Seeing Lin Heng’s mother speak, Lin Heng’s uncle’s wife imdiately spoke up:

“The ginseng in our forest is gone. If you didn’t dig it up, could it have run away? Giving you half is already a favor. Don’t be ungrateful.”

Hearing the quarrel outside, Lin Heng imdiately rembered.

That year, his father dug up an old ginseng on Mount Taibai, a 15-year-old wild ginseng. Sohow, his uncle found out.

He argued for half, insisting that his father dug it in his forest.

His grandmother also ca to support his uncle, always siding with him and not treating his father as her own son.

In the end, his father had no choice but to give so of the money from selling the ginseng to his uncle to avoid making a big scene and disgracing the Lin family.

That was a 15-year-old wild ginseng from Mount Taibai, weighing about 15-16 grams.

In 2012, a 30-gram wild ginseng from Mount Taibai was auctioned for 3 million yuan.

Not to ntion in 2023, before his rebirth.

Even now, when a worker’s salary was 15 yuan a month and salt was 0.15 yuan per jin, this wild ginseng could easily sell for 400-500 yuan.

Lin Heng imdiately decided to take action. He couldn’t let his uncle take the money.

His uncle’s family was very an and stingy. Giving them money would only make them more demanding, not grateful.

“Uncle, do you have any sha?

And grandma, you always side with my uncle. Has he ever bought you a piece of clothing all these years?”

Lin Heng ca out and scolded them directly, not needing to save face because he knew his uncle’s family bullied the weak.

The more reasonable you were, the more they thought you were afraid of them, and the more shaless and domineering they beca. Only by being as unreasonable as they were would they be afraid.

Uncle Lin Xuping was stunned, then roared: “I’m talking to your father. Do you have a say?”

His grandmother was also trembling with anger, pointing at Lin Heng: “You unfilial grandson, it’s bad enough that you’re idle all day. How dare you talk to your elders like that?”

Lin Heng sneered, picked up the firewood knife beside him: “Today, I’ll make it clear. If anyone dares to be shaless, don’t bla

for being ruthless!”

“Elder brother, go call the village head, the party secretary, and our three uncles, and let everyone in the village co to judge. I want to see how powerful you are!”

Lin Heng shouted to his elder brother, Lin Yue, who had been standing silently.

Hearing this, Lin Yue didn’t move but looked at his wife and father.

Lin Heng’s father, Lin Xuan, looked at Lin Heng in surprise, thought for three seconds, and said to his eldest son, Lin Yue: “Go quickly. I want to see who is right. The hole where I dug the ginseng is still there. If soone is shaless, we’ll let everyone judge.”

“Okay, I’ll go now!” Lin Heng’s elder brother nodded and walked out.

“I’ll go with you!” Lin Heng’s mother said and walked out together.

“Wait a minute!” Hearing that they were calling people, Lin Heng’s uncle panicked.

Why was it different today? In the past, bringing their mother over always worked, but not today.

“How about this, you dug the ginseng, and it’s hard work. Give

a third, and we’ll call it even.”

Uncle looked at Lin Heng, who was holding a knife, and changed his tone. Lin Heng was known for being a rogue, fearless, and he was a bit scared.

“No way, not a single cent!” Lin Heng shouted, “We’ll wait for everyone to co and see who is shaless.”

After saying that, Lin Heng sneered and continued: “Uncle, you probably didn’t even have ti to dig a hole in the forest before running over, right?

When we go to the forest and see there’s no hole, where will you put your face?”

Hearing this, his uncle and aunt panicked. They had indeed co too quickly and didn’t have ti to dig a hole.

They didn’t even think about digging a hole because in the past, just making a fuss would get them benefits.

“I also heard from your grandmother. I’ll go back and check. Maybe there’s a mistake.”

At this ti, his uncle said awkwardly.

“Yes, we’ll go back and check. Maybe mother made a mistake.” His aunt also smiled awkwardly.

They were now putting the bla on the old lady.

“No way, we must let everyone judge today. Otherwise, so people will be shaless!”

Lin Heng closed the courtyard door and pretended to be agitated with the firewood knife.

This made his uncle and aunt nervous. As the saying goes, the tough fear the reckless, and the reckless fear the desperate.

Lin Heng’s desperate stance scared them.

In fact, it was mainly because they had no reason, otherwise, they wouldn’t be so guilty.

“Lin Heng, we’re all family. Maybe we made a mistake. No need to spread it to the village. It would disgrace the Lin family.”

His uncle smiled and spoke kindly, not as aggressive as before.

“No way, what if you go out and dig a hole and co back to make trouble?” Lin Heng said stubbornly.

“Forget it, second brother, open the door and let your uncle and them go!”

At this ti, Lin Heng’s father waved his hand.

Lin Heng’s wife, Chen Xiulan, also ca up to pull Lin Heng: “Dad has spoken, open the door and let them go.”

She was afraid Lin Heng would really hurt soone, which would cause trouble.

Lin Heng was just pretending. After being pulled by his wife twice, he stepped aside.

“We’ll go back and check!”

His uncle and aunt imdiately pulled the old lady and left, afraid that Lin Heng would go crazy.

“Today, I’m making it clear. If you dare to co and make trouble again, don’t bla

for being ruthless!” Lin Heng shouted at the three of them.
