Traveling back to ancient times to get rich

Chapter 366 Jerry's Past

Jerry appeared to be engaged in a lively conversation with Old Li and the others, but his eyes never left Gu Mochen, Ye Qingchen, and the others. He secretly observed these men, who seemed to be around his age—or at least around the same age. They sat there calmly and composedly, exuding an aura that was impossible to ignore. Jerry secretly guessed that these men must be important superiors of Old Li; such composure suggested they were no ordinary people. However, none of this really mattered to Jerry. He was only working diligently for them out of gratitude for the many favors his master had shown him. Moreover, he was reaping substantial profits in the process—huge profits! Thinking of this, an undisguised excitement and hope flashed in Jerry's eyes. He knew that with this income, he would finally be able to support his crumbling family again. What delighted him even more was that his sister was finally able to receive treatment, and it was even the top doctor at Dr. Li's clinic who was personally treating her. Although his sister was still silent, she had regained consciousness, which was undoubtedly fantastic news for Jerry.

Jerry was born into a once-glorious but now impoverished aristocratic family. In the past, although the family had long lost its former glory and their residence was no longer the grand mansion it once was, the family was content and at ease in their somewhat cramped space, thanks to the companionship of his parents and sister. Jerry spent his days playing and laughing with his sister in the yard, listening to his parents recount stories of the family's past glories. Life was simple, but filled with warmth.

However, fate always takes unexpected turns, catching people off guard. One day when Jerry was 12 years old, his peaceful life was shattered. A group of vicious thugs, like a pack of wolves, invaded their lives. They brazenly stormed into the yard, their eyes gleaming with greed, and without a word, began to plunder the family's remaining possessions. To protect his family and home, Jerry's father bravely stood up and tried to fight these thugs. But how could an unarmed father be a match for these vicious people? In the chaos and struggle, Jerry watched helplessly as his father fell into a pool of blood. At that moment, his world seemed to collapse instantly.

Immediately afterwards, these thugs ruthlessly kicked Jerry, his mother, and his sister out of their home. Deprived of their father's protection and driven from their familiar home, the young sister was deeply traumatized. From that day on, she seemed to have lost her soul, completely isolated from the world. She was unconscious, her eyes vacant, and she no longer spoke, surviving only by being fed by Jerry and their mother. Looking at his sister's lifeless state, Jerry was filled with pain and despair. He cried countless times at night, hating himself for being powerless to protect his family.

For the next six years, Jerry and his mother struggled to make ends meet with his sister. They traveled far and wide, searching for a place to settle, barely scraping by on meager earnings. Life was incredibly difficult, but they never gave up, clinging to a sliver of hope for the future. However, fate seemed determined not to let them off the hook so easily. Just when they thought things might be getting better, the same group of villains reappeared, and this time, they wanted to kill Jerry.

At this critical moment, the young masters appeared like saviors from heaven. They not only stopped the villains' evil deeds in time but also lent a helping hand to Jerry. The young masters not only treated the injured Jerry but also thoughtfully told him some ways to make money and advised him to seek help from Old Li. Jerry nervously went to Old Li, and to his surprise, Old Li was incredibly kind and generous. Old Li immediately arranged a comfortable house for them, giving them a home to shelter from the wind and rain, and even found the best doctor for his sister at the shop's clinic. Old Li also forcefully warned the villains that if they dared to bully Jerry's family again, they would pay a heavy price. Under Old Li's protection, Jerry's family was finally able to live in peace.

Now, Jerry sat quietly in the luxurious room, everything around him so peaceful. His thoughts, however, raced like wild horses, roaming freely in a sea of ​​memories. Those past moments flashed before his eyes like a movie. He remembered his past hardships and suffering; those days, life had been an endless nightmare for him. Yet, just when he was about to give up, his young masters and Old Li descended like angels, giving him hope and help.

It was thanks to their help that Jerry was able to gradually overcome his difficulties and reach his current position. He knew how difficult his journey had been, and that it was all inseparable from the meticulous care and support of his young masters and Old Master Li. Therefore, Jerry was filled with gratitude at this moment. He secretly told himself that he must spare no effort to do things for them, in order to repay this kindness that was higher than mountains and deeper than the sea. He knew that this opportunity was a turning point for him, a chance to change his destiny. He had to seize this opportunity and go all out to fight and strive. Jerry thought that as long as he worked hard enough, he would definitely be able to earn more profits. In this way, he could provide his sister with better treatment conditions so that she could recover as soon as possible. At the same time, he could also revitalize his family and help them escape the shadow of poverty. Thinking of this, Jerry's eyes became more determined, and he straightened his back, as if his whole body was full of strength. He took a deep breath, then smiled and continued to talk to others, showing confidence and determination.

Between conversations, Jerry stole another glance at Gu Mochen and Ye Qingchen. He couldn't help but wonder about their backgrounds, how they could be so at ease here. What was his young master's background, and how could he so easily change his family's fate? However, this question only flashed through his mind. He knew some things didn't need to be investigated too deeply; he just needed to do what he was supposed to do. His only wish now was for his sister to recover quickly, to be able to speak again, and for his family to live a happy and peaceful life.

After chatting for a while, Jerry prepared to leave, saying goodbye to Gu Mochen and the others before he went. Looking at the young man, Gu Mochen felt increasingly that his children had grown up. They had originally planned to travel for a longer period, but now it seemed that even a little longer, the children could manage on their own. Ye Qingchen also felt that with his business spanning the globe, he no longer seemed to have much desire for money, and he felt he could finally enjoy life to the fullest.
