Chapter 442: Deserved Retribution
When it comes to asking for a beating, Lin Xiangxi is a professional. He was still making a fuss when he first got home, but he became quiet after being slapped by Hu Meili.
"We just got back and you're already urging us to leave? What, are you trying to make trouble?"
Lin Xiangxi was already feeling guilty, and after being scolded, he became quiet and humbly went back to his room to write a letter to his partner to complain.
He is feeling very miserable, but Song Ya understands him best!
Lin Xiangnan and his family only go back to their hometown once or twice a year, and there are always a lot of things to do.
Lin Xiangnan didn't have much contact with old classmates, but it was different with his comrades. Gu Zhenhua had a bunch of old comrades waiting to have dinner with him, and he couldn't forget to say hello to Gu's parents. Hu Meili and Lin Xiangdong also had a lot of old friends...
Usually, when the family is busy, Lin Xiangnan leaves Dabao and Xiaobao to their grandparents to take care of them. But this year it is not suitable because their grandparents are not at home as they have to go to the government compound to do some work.
Last year, the pharmaceutical factory's economic performance was not good and it could not pay salaries. The factory director and his colleagues were unable to get money from the leaders, so they had to resort to dirty tricks and organized the old employees in the factory to go to the government compound to ask for money.
They didn't make any noise or quarrel, they just sat there quietly, waiting for their leader to pay their wages.
When they go, they bring water and dry food, as well as a small stool, so they can sit in the yard for a whole day. There are also people who take care of their grandchildren, but they are all strict and don't let them make noises.
They did this, and cars couldn't even drive into the government compound. When they got to the gate, the leaders had to get out of the car and walk through the crowd, which was very stressful.
But facing this group of old men and women, the leader did not dare to scold them. They were just sitting there and not making any trouble. If he scolded them to the point of causing harm, he would be in trouble.
Grandpa Hu and Grandma Hu didn't mind taking the children there. They just said, "It's not fun to sit in the government compound all day. The two children definitely can't stay there. Let them stay at home and play with their older brothers and sisters."
After the crackdown began, the atmosphere has indeed improved. In the past two years, there have been many news reports of women and children being trafficked. The children are still young, and except in the family compound, there are always adults watching over the two children outside.
In the previous generation, every family had several brothers and sisters, and since the children were not precious, no one would keep an eye on them. But now with the family planning policy, every family has only one or two children, no more. Even Hu Meili and her grandmother, who implement the laissez-faire policy, know that children are precious, and dare not let go of them and let them out of their sight.
Grandpa Hu and the others couldn't take care of it, so Lin Xiangnan said, "It's okay, Gu Zhenhua and I will take care of the child tomorrow."
There are too many people in the family, and Lin Xiangnan is the one who takes care of the children the least.
"I won't go out tomorrow. You two can go about your business and leave the child to me." Hu Meili volunteered, saying disdainfully, "If you two take the child to Gu's house, what if he gets bumped or bruised?"
Hu Meili had seen the scene of tables and chairs flying everywhere.
"Tomorrow I will go to a banquet with Gu Zhenhua and not go to Gu's house. I'll leave the matter of building relationships with the Gu family to Lao Liu." Lin Xiangnan frowned and said with disdain, "I've become a bit famous in the past two years, and I'm afraid they'll get close to me."
The main reason is that the eldest son of the Gu family has no son, and now he is being controlled by his wife, which makes the old couple of the Gu family more and more dissatisfied with their eldest son. In the past, when the eldest son of the Gu family was beaten, the couple cried and wanted to help, but now they don't even try to persuade him.
Gu Laoliu was extremely sorry that they might be hurt by mistake.
If there is discord among brothers in a family, it is mostly because the elders are immoral.
Seeing that Boss Gu was just like them, worthless and abandoned by their parents, Gu Zhenhua and the others felt a little more balanced. They no longer transferred all their resentment towards their parents onto their eldest brother and gradually began to like Boss Gu.
Now when Gu Laoliu goes to the Gu family to cause trouble, he dares not be too arrogant. After beating someone up, he also has to drag Gu Zhenhua down with him.
"It's all your fault that you, my parents, are useless as my eldest brother. Otherwise, my third brother wouldn't have married into my family, and even changed the surname of his child to Lin. At home, my sister-in-law asked my brother to stand, but he didn't dare to sit. When she asked him to hold the bowl, he didn't dare to pick up the chopsticks. He even didn't dare to speak too loudly to my sister-in-law... It hurts me so much to see it!"
This line was written by Gu Zhenhua himself, but when Gu Zhenjun said it, he still felt a little embarrassed. He had a sense of excitement as if he was secretly saying bad things about people behind his brother's back.
When he was an ordinary soldier in the army, Gu Zhenhua had no scruples when returning home. He didn't even have to pick a day. He could just do it whenever he wanted.
Now that his position has risen and his future is bright, Gu Zhenhua has become more low-key. He doesn't even dare to mention the matter of promotion in his hometown.
In the slum where the Gu family lives, his reputation has not yet been cleared. His children are already several years old, but in the eyes of Gu Chouni and her husband, he is still the unruly soldier he once was.
When she heard that he was not living well after marriage, Gu Chouni even felt a little relieved.
"It's retribution, it's all retribution! He deserves this end!" Although Gu Zhenhua was not at the scene, Gu Chouni started cursing on the spot.
"Yes, this is what Third Brother deserves!" Gu Laoliu agreed.
"You can't be like your third brother. You are the only college student in our Gu family..."
"Stop! I'm a college student, what does that have to do with you? I'm going to marry into your family! You should just focus on your precious eldest son! Leave me alone!"
"You want to marry into the family too?" Gu Chouni's face darkened and she said loudly, "I don't agree!"
"I don't care whether you agree or not. What's the matter? You two don't spend a penny, and you expect the girl to marry me even if she is blind? That's wishful thinking." Gu Laoliu said arrogantly: "Wait until I find someone who is as good as me, so that I can have help when I fight!"
These suggestive words almost made Gu Chouni angry to death.
It would be fine if Gu Zhenhua married a devil, but Gu Laoliu actually had the same idea.
She wanted to scold but couldn't, and she wanted to hit but couldn't either. Gu Chouni was so angry that her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
"Are you really dizzy? You're not pretending." Gu Laoliu was confused, but he didn't say anything.
He stood there without moving, and verbally ordered his eldest brother, "Hurry up, send him to the hospital. Didn't I just say that I want to marry into the family and live off her? Why did you faint from anger? It's not a big deal."
"You guys saw it, I didn't do anything to Mom, the medicine fee is not my responsibility, I don't have a penny on me!"
After saying these few words in a nonchalant manner, Gu Laoliu walked away in a cool manner.
His biological mother, Gu Chouni, was so angry that she almost fainted. His biological father, Gu Fugen, was almost also angry at his attitude and couldn't help but scold him: "You bastard, you are just like your third brother, you will get retribution sooner or later!"
Gu Laoliu smiled, "Yes, yes, people like me should be punished like my third brother! This is what we deserve!"
