Chapter 435 Aren’t You Afraid of Going to Jail?
Lin Jinshu breathed a sigh of relief and pressed his solar plexus: "Ruihuai, what do you think about this?"
She now understands the saying that children are a debt and none of them are a relief.
Gu Ruihuai's eyes flashed with sadness: "Mom, no, Guan Tong has a lover, and her life will not be easy if she marries me."
Looking at the lonely look on his face, Lin Jinshu felt a pang of pain in her heart.
She pursed her lips, lowered her voice, and comforted him, "It's okay, Mom will find you a better one."
Gu Ruihuai smiled, his eyes calm, "Thank you, Mom. I'm just a cripple. Even if a good girl follows me, I can't give her the life she wants. It's okay to be alone. You don't have to worry about me."
"Ruihuai..." Lin Jinshu looked gloomy, and wanted to reach out and touch Gu Ruihuai's head, but thinking of his character, he suppressed his emotions and said softly: "Do you want to go back to the Dalaozi Production Brigade to live for a few days?"
Hearing this, Gu Ruihuai was silent for a long time before shaking his head: "I can't go back anymore."
Lin Jinshu thought of Gu Yuehuai's cold eyebrows and eyes, she lowered her eyelids, and a hint of tears flashed in her eyes. Yes, all those who went against her can never go back.

After leaving the state-owned restaurant, Gu Tinghuai, who had been absent-minded, said, "Dad, the workers should have arrived at the brigade by now. You and Xihuai go back first. I'm going to the hospital to see Baimei. She hasn't come yet. I'm a little worried."
Gu Yuehuai also realized that Bai Mei didn’t come. Wasn’t this discussed beforehand that day?
She frowned, and had some bad guesses in her mind: "Brother, I will go with you."
Gu Tinghuai nodded, and the two of them went towards the county hospital.
On the way, Gu Yuehuai asked, "Brother, have you told your sister-in-law when you will come to the restaurant?"
"I said it! I don't know if something happened." Gu Tinghuai looked a little flustered, his brows were twisted into knots, and his feet were walking quickly, wishing he had a pair of wings to fly directly to the county hospital.
When the two rushed to the hospital, they heard the woman's crying and wailing as soon as they entered the door: "This is so unfair! I worked so hard to raise my daughter, but she didn't give the money she earned to her family, and she even published an announcement in the newspaper to sever ties with us!"
The woman's cries were so shrill and piercing that people around her couldn't help but feel sympathy and pity.
"Auntie, stop crying. If your daughter is unfilial, why don't you report her to the police?"
"Yes, we Chinese people value filial piety. If she dares to treat you like this, she will definitely be condemned!"
"You can't say that. Filial piety can't be blind, right? It depends on what the matter is. Auntie, is there anything in your family that can't be discussed in private? Why do you have to sit here and cry and ruin your daughter's reputation?"
The first two people who spoke were passers-by who came to the hospital for medical treatment, and the last one who spoke was a nurse in the hospital.
"What are you talking about? My daughter has cut off all ties with me. What's the point of me telling her? I don't care. Today, the hospital leaders must give me an explanation. How can such an unfilial person like her still work in your hospital?"
The woman who was originally sitting on the ground crying suddenly stood up, put her hands on her hips, and said fiercely.
As soon as Gu Yuehuai and Gu Tinghuai squeezed out of the crowd, they saw Xu Dongmei's disgusting appearance.
"Enough! Can you please let me go and stop bothering me?" Bai Mei's face was pale. She stood not far behind Xu Dongmei. She trembled her lips, her voice was a little hysterical and in extreme pain.
She has obviously made so much effort, why, why won't you let her go?
Xu Dongmei seemed to be irritated by her: "Let you go? I have raised you for twenty years, but I haven't given you anything in return, and you have grown wings and want to fly away? I tell you, Bai Mei, you are a member of our Bai family in life and a ghost of our Bai family in death, and you can never leave!"
As she spoke, she was about to step forward and snatch the money in Bai Mei's hand.
Gu Tinghuai's face was livid. He strode forward, pulled Xu Dongmei away, took Bai Mei into his arms, and gently patted her trembling back: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, Nannan is here too, we are here."
After hearing this, Bai Mei turned her head to look at Gu Yuehuai, her throat felt sore and she burst into tears.
She trembled as she handed the money in her hand to Gu Tinghuai, crying and saying, "Today, when the salary was paid, she came again. I have already published an announcement in the newspaper to sever ties with her, why, why won't she let me go? Why is this?"
Bai Mei cried extremely sadly, as if she wanted to cry out all the suffering she had endured since childhood.
The people around looked at each other in bewilderment. Only then did they realize that their previous words were a bit arbitrary. Was there something else going on here?
Gu Tinghuai listened to Bai Mei's tearful accusations, and felt so heartbroken that he could only comfort her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
After saying that, he looked up at Xu Dongmei, his eyes bloodshot and filled with ruthlessness.
Xu Dongmei was so frightened that she took a few steps back. After she came to her senses, she was so angry that her eyebrows were raised. She scolded: "What are you looking at? You poor bastard, you kidnapped my daughter and didn't even give her a penny for the bride price. Tell me, everyone, is this reasonable? They are a family of liars, who specialize in deceiving beautiful and brainless girls like my daughter!"
Originally everyone thought that Gu Tinghuai was a real man because he protected his wife, but when they suddenly heard that he didn't need to pay a bride price to marry his wife, everyone's eyes instantly turned into contempt, and they all thought he was an emotional cheater.
Listening to the discussions of people around her, Xu Dongmei showed a smug smile on her face.
She sighed and continued, "You don't know, my daughter was already engaged to a man from the capital, whose family is rich and powerful. If this guy hadn't intervened and deceived my daughter, how could I have treated her like this?"
The melon is getting bigger and bigger, and the attitudes of the onlookers are changing rapidly.
"You're talking nonsense! It was obviously you, it was you..." Bai Mei wanted to tell Xu Dongmei that she had sold her out for money, but if she did that, her reputation in the hospital would be ruined. How would she have the face to come to work here in the future?
She had a lot of pain to express, and tears welled up in her eyes as she listened to the sneers from the crowd behind her.
"Are you from Beijing? Huang Sheng?" Gu Yuehuai asked curiously.
When Xu Dongmei heard Gu Yuehuai's voice, she turned around and froze. The scene of her beating Huang Sheng that night seemed to reappear in front of her. She took a few steps back with some vigilance: "So what? What does it have to do with you?"
"You didn't take my words last time to heart. The certificate of severing ties has been published in the newspaper, and you still have the nerve to come and collect Bai Mei's salary? You are not her biological mother. In the past 20 years, have you ever let her have a full meal?"
"She cooks and washes for you every day. Even if she's just a babysitter, she should still smile at you, right? What about you?"
"Huang Sheng has been in jail for murder. As I recall, you had financial dealings with him, right?"
"Sister-in-law, let's go report this to the police. There has been a lot of noise recently because of Huang Sheng's murder. Who knows what role Comrade Xu Dongmei played in this? People like this must not be let off."
"Okay!" Bai Mei nodded heavily, with stars twinkling in her eyes.
