Even his family treated him very badly. To put it bluntly, they did not acknowledge him as their son.
The reason for all of this started with Xu Jingnan's birth.
According to the elders in the village, Xu Jingnan was born to his father, Xu Laomao, and a prostitute.
At first, Xu Laomao didn't know that he had this son. Later, when Xu Jingnan was a year old, the prostitute found Xu Laomao before she died.
The prostitute entrusted Xu Jingnan to him and even gave him all her savings to raise their son.
Even though Xu Laomao suspected that this child was not his, he agreed on account of the money and brought Xu Jingnan home.
Xu Laomao's wife, Madam Zhao, was a shrewish person. At that time, she had just married him. When she found out about this, she almost beat Xu Jingnan to death and made a huge scene.
In the end, it was Xu Laomao who couldn't take it anymore and said that if she caused trouble again, he would divorce her. Only then did Madam Zhao become obedient and acknowledge this son.
However, Madam Zhao had never given Xu Jingnan a good attitude. She either hit or scolded him. She even shouted in the village every day that he was a b*stard born of a prostitute and was as shameless and dirty as his mother.
Although the villagers would not make things difficult for a child, they did not like him because of his background.
Just like that, Xu Jingnan reached the age of 14 with difficulty. As he had been tall since he was young, he looked 16 years old at that age. That year, during the imperial court's conscription, he signed up behind his family's back and went to the border to fight.
He stayed there for eight years.
Everyone thought that he had died outside long ago. Unexpectedly, he returned alive last year!
At that time, the village had been in chaos for a while. They were all very curious about him and wanted to know his experiences outside.
However, Xu Jingnan was getting taller and more handsome now. Moreover, his aura was ferocious and terrifying. Coupled with the scar on his eyebrows and the fact that he killed enemies on the battlefield without blinking, the villagers were terrified when they saw him, and no one dared to approach him.
Madam Zhao did not let him stay at home either.
Xu Jingnan didn't live in the village. Instead, he lived in the mountains. Apart from hunting, he also bought two acres of land. However, he didn't know how to farm at first, and most of the crops died. Many people in the village mocked him behind his back.
His family's fields were next to his. She remembered that her father had even said that he had taught Xu Jingnan how to farm. This was also a form of friendship.
…
Ye Qingyu came back to her senses and looked at Xu Jingnan, who had already walked up to her. Then, she looked at Butler Wang, who was smiling at him ingratiatingly. Her eyes flickered as she came up with a plan.
She knew how to suppress Butler Wang so that he wouldn't dare to attack them casually!
Ye Dashan and the others naturally saw Xu Jingnan too. However, they were not close, so Ye Dashan glanced at Xu Jingnan and nodded at him, preparing to help his eldest son leave.
Anyway, he had obtained the contract.
"Big sister, let's go." Ye Qingfeng tugged at Ye Qingyu's sleeve and whispered to her.
"Tell Father and the others to believe me and cooperate with me."
Ye Qingyu shook her head at her brother and whispered to Ye Qingfeng. Then, she took two light steps forward and walked to Xu Jingnan's side.
"Brother Jingnan, you're in town too! I asked Ye Qingfeng to look for you on the mountain this morning to thank you, but I realized that you weren't at home.
I didn't expect to see you here. That's great. I can finally thank you in person!
Thank you so much for the day before yesterday. If it weren't for you, I would have… Anyway, you're my savior!"
