Thinking of this, the place where he was kicked no longer hurt, and he walked towards the family compound with a smile. When he got to the gate, he was stopped by the guard.

Who are you looking for?

“I’m here to see Gu Aiguo, he’s my brother-in-law.”

"Wait here for a moment, I'll go and inform them for you."

Gu Aiguo is currently recuperating at home, and he appears extremely listless and lethargic.

These past few days, every time Chen Shujing came to see him, it was about the divorce. Also, his superiors found out about his affair with Chen Shuling and demoted him two ranks.

They said he couldn't even recognize his closest family members, so how could they dare entrust him with any important tasks in the future?

This sentence is basically a death sentence for him; it's estimated that the military will not assign him any important missions in the future.

That's the end of his career.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Gu Aiguo slowly got out of bed, walked to the door, and opened it.

When Wang Ma saw him come out, she said, "The guards said your brother-in-law has arrived and asked if you want him to come in?"

Since his marriage, Chen Shuqing has never talked about her family situation.

Of course, Chen Shuling never mentioned it again later.

Gu Aiguo was also curious about what kind of person his brother-in-law was, so he said to Wang Ma, "Tell the guard to let him in."

Chen Dabao walked into the compound, not knowing which one was Gu Aiguo, so he turned back and asked the guard to bring him over.

This was his first time visiting Gu Aiguo's country, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he began to look around.

This house is huge, it's two stories high, which is rare even in their town, let alone in the village.

No wonder the second sister is fighting with the eldest sister. If she were a woman, she would fight too. After living such hard times, who wouldn't want a better life?

As Chen Dabao walked from the courtyard into the living room, he saw Gu Aiguo sitting on the sofa, scrutinizing him with a deep gaze.

"Are you Shujing's younger brother?"

Chen Dabao grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and said, "Yes! I'm his younger brother and brother-in-law. I've come to you this time to ask for your help."

Gu Aiguo frowned. Who asks for help on their first visit?

But he patiently asked, "What kind of help do you need?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Dabao assumed he had agreed and quickly said with a grin, "Brother-in-law, you're such a good person, unlike my older sister, who's so stingy. I came here this time to borrow some money from you. It's not much for you, just a thousand yuan."

Gu Aiguo's face darkened. Now he finally understood why Chen Shujing and Chen Shuling never mentioned their families.

"You're so arrogant. A thousand yuan isn't much. I don't even get that much in a year."

Chen Dabao rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, you have to help me! If I dare not pay back this money, they'll chop off my hands."

"Did you incur this debt from gambling?" Upon hearing this, Gu Aiguo immediately guessed that such a large sum of money could only be from gambling debts.

Chen Dabao said somewhat embarrassedly, "I just wanted to try my luck and win back my previous money, but I didn't expect to lose so much. Brother-in-law, if you help me pay it back this time, I promise I will never gamble again."

Gu Aiguo said coldly, "I can't help you with this money."

If he really runs into trouble, he might help out for Chen Shuqing's sake, but he's not one to be taken advantage of when it comes to gambling debts.

Upon hearing this, Chen Dabao immediately panicked; "Brother-in-law, you can't abandon me! They really might chop off my hand."

Gu Aiguo didn't respond to him; there was no point in talking to someone like that.

Back then, Chen Shuqing must have suffered a lot in that family.

"Wang Ma, see the guests out."

"Why"

Wang Ma walked over and stood in front of Chen Dabao, saying, "Comrade, you should go back now! My master needs to rest."

Chen Dabao wasn't buying it. He pushed Wang Ma to the ground and glared at Gu Huanian, saying, "Brother-in-law, you have to pay me back this money. You took advantage of both my sisters back then, and you didn't give our family a single penny of dowry. If you don't give me the money, I'll have my parents come over, and you'll be in big trouble."

Upon hearing his words, Gu Aiguo was furious. He grabbed a teacup from the table and smashed it over Chen Dabao's head.

Chen Dabao reacted quickly and dodged it.

Gu Aiguo then looked at Wang Ma on the ground and asked, "Wang Ma, how are you?"

When Wang Ma fell, she hit her head on the corner of the table and bled a little.

“Sir, I’m fine, you don’t need to worry.”

Seeing that Wang Ma was alright, Gu Aiguo then turned to Chen Dabao and said, "Get out of here!"

Chen Dabao lay down on the ground and said, "I'm not leaving. Why should I leave? You've slept with my two older sisters for so many years without giving me a dowry. I don't care. If you don't give me a thousand yuan, don't even think about leaving."

Gu Aiguo was in a real headache. He hadn't expected this man to be such a scoundrel. If he were in good health, he would have thrown him out long ago.

"If you keep swearing like that, believe me, I'll slap you."

Gu Aiguo gave Wang Ma a wink, signaling her to call the guards over and ask them to leave.

Chen Dabao didn't care about any of that. How many of them, as soldiers, would dare to fight with ordinary people?

Then she continued, "You won't even let people talk about it? You dare say you didn't sleep with my eldest and second eldest sisters? You've ruined them all by yourself, and you've been sleeping with them for so many years. You want to pay me nothing? I'm telling you, that's impossible. If you don't give me my money, believe me, I'll report you to the army."

Gu Aiguo could no longer bear it and, ignoring his own stomach injury, kicked Chen Dabao twice hard.
