Chapter 204 Mature and Steady
Few people are willing to reason with children. After finding out that Wang Hu was not someone who could be persuaded, the eldest brother of the Wang family directly used his authority as the head of the family and tied up the child.
"I'm not going back..."
"That's not up to you!"
“Woo woo woo~”
Wang Hu was yelling at first, but his mouth was blocked later and he could only look aggrieved.
Political Commissar Xu and his men did not stop the eldest brother of the Wang family from doing this, and even arranged a car for him.
"It's not convenient for you to walk with the child like this. We will arrange a car to take you there."
"Thank you." The eldest brother of the Wang family carried the child like a chick. No matter how much Wang Hu made a fuss, he couldn't get out of the Five Finger Mountain.
Once the car door was closed and they thought Wang Hu could not escape, the restraints on Wang Hu were untied.
Then, there was the scene that Hu Meili saw when she was buying groceries.
Liu Feng stopped the car and caused trouble, and Wang Hu jumped out of the car.
This scared everyone.
No matter how slow the car was going, it was impossible for Wang Hu to be unharmed if he jumped out of the car. He immediately squatted on the ground and started crying in pain.
In the end, the eldest brother of the Wang family was unable to go back and could only send Wang Hu to the hospital.
"Don't even mention the Wang family. I didn't expect Wang Hu's attitude to be so firm. He even dared to jump off the car."
"Maybe he didn't jump, so he doesn't know what's good for him." Lin Xiangnan commented: "This kid is a bit stupid. He probably didn't think about the consequences of his actions."
Now that he's injured, Wang Hu has learned his lesson and will never do such stupid things as jumping out of a car again.
"With this mess, I guess no one will try to persuade Wang Hu anymore." Hu Meili said gossipingly, "When Xiao Gu comes back, ask him what happened next."
News spreads quickly in the family compound, and it’s not much slower in the army. In fact, a lot of information is brought to the family compound by them.
Which couple doesn't chatter when hiding in bed? Besides Hu Meili, Lin Xiangnan's source of information is also Gu Zhenhua.
When Gu Zhenhua returned home, he was stared at by Lin Xiangnan's piercing eyes.
He hung up his hat and coat, and then spontaneously shared: "The Wang family went back and took Wang Bao back with them. Wang Hu stayed in the city with Liu Feng."
"What about the pension? And the money you collected, who did you give it to?" Hu Meili asked.
"The pension is divided into two parts, one for Liu Feng and one for the Wang family. We gave all the money and notes we collected to the eldest brother of the Wang family. After all, Wang Bao is still young and it is time for him to spend money."
It sounds good, but the fundamental reason is that he does not trust Liu Feng and does not believe in Wang Hu's choice.
Although they pooled together some money, no one's money came out of thin air.
Instead of subsidizing Wang Hu, who does not know right from wrong, it is better to give it to Captain Wang’s parents and daughter.
Hu Meili praised: "You did a good job. You can't give that money to Liu Feng. She fought for the child just for the money. I don't believe she will still take care of the child after getting the money."
Only Wang Hu believed Liu Feng's lies. No one else believed them because Liu Feng's reputation was too bad.
Lin Xiangnan didn't care about Wang Hu's whereabouts, he only cared about Wang Bao, who was an innocent person who had no way to make his own choice.
"It's good for Wang Bao to go back to his hometown. Although the Wang family values boys over girls, at least they can raise him. It's not certain if he can follow Liu Feng."
Even if Liu Feng didn't want the child, she could still get some of the money, but it was too little and she was not happy.
Now that she had received half of the pension, she immediately moved out of the family compound with Wang Hu.
When Lin Xiangnan returned home on the weekend, he found that a new family had moved in next door.
"Has Wang Hu recovered from his injury? Liu Feng passed away so soon." Lin Xiangnan asked Hu Meili in surprise, "Whose family is the newcomer? His young wife looks so young."
After spending a week at Factory 130, she was far behind on the news.
When Lin Xiangnan passed by just now, he saw the girl in the yard next door. Her face was so tender that you could pinch water out of it. It was a baby face. Lin Xiangnan was worried that she was underage.
"Liu Feng has moved out for several days. The new family that moved in is the family of Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao, whose name is Xia Qiaozhen. Like you, she got married right after graduating from high school, so of course she looks delicate."
Hu Meili commented disdainfully: "Not only do they have the same experience, their tempers are similar too. I guess she is also lazy and loves to spend money. I have seen her wearing several new sets of clothes in the past few days."
She couldn't stand this kind of temper, and she only spoke to Xia Qiaozhen twice in the past few days, but they did not have a close relationship.
People of Hu Meili's generation value hard work and perseverance.
Although Lin Xiangnan is also lazy and likes to eat, he is his own child and there is nothing he can do about it.
There are not many young people in their twenties in the family compound. Lin Xiangnan couldn't find a friend of the same age and usually played with Aunt Hua.
Lin Xiangnan was quite curious about this new neighbor and took the initiative to talk to Xia Qiaozhen.
Maybe it's because she is young and was spoiled by her family, even after getting married, Xia Qiaozhen still speaks in a naive and spoiled manner.
After coming back from chatting with someone, Lin Xiangnan said with emotion: "As expected, you just turned 18. You are still young. You can't play with a mature and steady person like me."
She doesn't like playing with children.
"Mature and steady? You?" Hu Meili sneered.
Lin Xiangnan was dissatisfied, "Mom, what are you looking at me with!"
"You are the way you are now. You will never grow up even if you live for decades. You only grow in age, not in mind."
Hu Meili looked at Lin Xiangnan speechlessly and said, "You don't even know what these people in the family compound say about Xia Qiaozhen. They all say that she is almost like you! How dare you look down on her?"
In Hu Meili's opinion, this is no different from self-deprecation.
"I'm not that childish." Lin Xiangnan retorted, "It's only in your eyes that I haven't grown up. Outside, people call me Engineer Lin."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay, I got it." Hu Meili nodded perfunctorily and said, "Engineer Lin, go put away the clothes."
People in the factory called him Engineer Lin, which showed respect. But when Hu Meili called him Engineer Lin, it was like calling him a monkey.
Lin Xiangnan crossed his arms and said angrily, "I won't accept it."
"Okay, okay, if you don't want to take it, then don't take it." Hu Meili was not angry, and calmly ordered Gu Zhenhua, "Xiao Gu, come and take the clothes."
"I'll be there right away." Gu Zhenhua agreed readily.
Hu Meili was so calm that it was Lin Xiangnan who felt embarrassed. In the end, she still helped Gu Zhenhua and put away the clothes together.
However, after hearing Hu Meili's nagging, Lin Xiangnan couldn't help but serve it.
When working in the office, I put on a serious face to appear mature and steady.
Sun Yi saw it and said, "Wow, Xiao Lin, you look so majestic when you sign with a cold face."
"Really?" Lin Xiangnan couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, and said modestly: "Actually, it's not that bad."
"You look so stern, it's not like you anymore. Come on, follow me to the workshop to see something relaxing and have a laugh."
Lin Xiangnan looked at him coldly and rejected him mercilessly, "No."
Which steady person would take the bait as soon as he is hooked? She is not one of them.
