Rebirth in the 60s: A Path to Counterattack-Chapter 307. Strike first to gain the upper hand

Of course, now that the Bai family has fallen, Dai Weiguo, once a cadre, is even less in Shuzhen’s eyes.

She only sees him as a toad on her foot — not biting, just irritating!

In any case, through these successive events, Lian En has also made his stance clear.

He doesn’t care if Dai Weiguo is rich or poor; he only acknowledges Lianshan as his father.

In this aspect, Shuzhen is somewhat relieved and isn’t afraid of what tricks Dai Weiguo might pull.

Her only concern is the gossip and rumors that might spread.

Not only would she and Lianshan lose face, but it wouldn’t be honorable for the children either.

Not wanting to wait until the situation erupted to find a solution, the forward-thinking Shuzhen stopped fussing over buying things.

She just pondered how to nip this threat in the bud.

Unfortunately, as she had expected, that scoundrel Dai Weiguo disappeared like he evaporated and showed no signs at all.

Shuzhen even paid a special visit to the Dai family’s ancestral tomb but didn’t find a trace of burnt offerings in that still barren place.

Was he so overstimulated that he hurriedly went to find his direction for effort?

Confirming her suspicions, Shuzhen went to her eldest son Lian En’s room, who had been gloomy for several days.

"Alright, you stop worrying too.

Looks like at least in the next few years, he won’t reappear to bother you.

Things of the future will be handled in the future; as long as you stick to your stance, what can he do even if he exhausts all his tricks?" Shuzhen looked at the continually gloomy Lian En and advised: "When the boat reaches the bridgehead, it will naturally straighten. Future troubles will stay in the future. Now, you need to gather yourself and focus your energy on studying.

Your dad and I are waiting for the day you achieve academic success, so we can throw a banquet and celebrate with a fanfare!"

Lian En nodded heavily: "Yes, Mom, don’t worry, I definitely won’t let you and Dad down!"

Even though having such a biological father is undoubtedly a blemish in his vibrant life.

Honestly, he wishes he could forget him forever, never to interact again. But thinking about the shameless way that man claims to be his father, Lian En can clearly see this is nearly impossible.

No matter how his mom analyzes and explains, he can’t help but feel anxious, fearing that man might play unpredictably.

For instance, if his second uncle and second aunt jointly hosted a wedding, while everyone was happily gathered, he might suddenly burst in to play the victim and pitifully demand recognition from him as his father...

Each time he was woken by such a terrifying dream, Lian En was like a drawn bowstring.

Even after the graduation parties of Jiandang and Lian Jie, he remained vigilant.

Always fearing that even a slight lapse, Dai might pop up to claim him as his son.

Until his mother couldn’t bear to watch anymore and personally intervened to enlighten him.

Like a splash of cold water, Lian En immediately realized his misplacement of priorities.

It’s already the second year of high school, and he can almost see the third year approaching after the next semester starts.

The high school exams are imminent, truly just around the corner.

As a student preparing for exams, he should set aside all distractions and focus on studying.

He had repeatedly said he’d get into a good university and make his parents proud.

But so far, he had bragged so much about it; if the college entrance exam failed due to his lack of focus...

Ending up in an embarrassing situation like Jiandang, being embarrassed all year by younger siblings, he had no interest in copying that scenario!

So he worked hard, strived, and prepared diligently.

As for that lousy father, he can do whatever he wants!

Refusing to believe that with his firm belief in acknowledging only Lianshan as his father, that despicable Dai could come up with any clever tricks.

He couldn’t do anything to them when he was a grand cadre, so how could he manage something more impressive after falling to this point?

Enlightened like never before, Lian En completely put Dai Weiguo out of his mind.

He focused solely on studying, preparing for the college entrance exam, and doubled up his efforts in honoring his parents and loving his siblings, becoming even more respectful to teacher Feng Ju.

Seeing her son finally regaining his spirit, Shuzhen could finally put her jittery heart at ease.

She then focused on brewing various ginseng wines, waiting to ship them to Lian Jie and Jiandang when they left for school. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

However, despite sending out the gifts, Shuzhen, who never sought anything in return, unusually made a small request to a few influential figures.

She asked them to help locate Dai Weiguo within legal limits.

If possible, to add some obstacles to his path to recovery.

Make sure he never gets the chance to make a comeback and can’t even appear to play at reclaiming his son.

Wu Liguo, who had the deepest ties with Shuzhen and cherished Lian En whom he taught devotedly for years.

In the past, he had sabotaged Dai Weiguo multiple times, causing Dai to go from a vice-commander to nothing and endure five years in prison, all partly due to his handiwork.

Upon hearing that this guy wasn’t giving up even after imprisonment, shamelessly contemplating snatching Lian En back to bear the Dai name.

The hot-tempered old man got angry, and even before Shuzhen could make her request, he pounded his chest vowing loudly. He said as long as he was alive, Dai could forget about it. Despite being a rough man, he had vast connections!

A few phone calls, and they would sort things with Dai swiftly and cleanly.

Thinking about making a comeback was something he wouldn’t even dare to dream of his whole life!

Wei Lai, Wu Hao, and Dong Shu, though not as bold as the old man, were also modest in their claims.

But privately, they contributed significantly as well.

After all, in Liu family village for many years, Lianshan and Shuzhen were their benefactors and kin, and bullying their own family members was something they couldn’t tolerate, right?

These were people of formidable capability, already impressive on their own, let alone combined in effort!

In just a few days, they found Dai Weiguo who had reached X City by the coast. With some maneuvering, misfortune befell Dai Weiguo, who emerged empty-handed and helpless.

Not only did his dreams of fortune vanish, but he also fell gravely ill.

Had it not been for his remarkable resilience, the earnest desire to get rich and reunite with his son for the sake of the Dai line, he wouldn’t have persevered. An unattended high fever could have killed him, leaving no chance for the subsequent disturbances!
