Chapter 234: I'll just let it go
When Gu Pingshan heard that the youngest brother asked for compensation, he was speechless.
In the afternoon, when Gu Hai came back from get off work, the family discussed how to divorce Gu Hongmei and also decided on a rough amount of compensation that the You family should give to Gu Hongmei.
When Gu Huai returned home in the afternoon, Yu Hui was cooking in the kitchen. Gu Huai handed the food to the child to put away, rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen to help.
Seeing that the meat hadn't been cut yet, he washed his hands and started cutting it. As he cut, he said to Yu Hui, "You're right. You Shengxing really did get a sterilization before getting married."
Although this guess was proposed by Yu Hui, she was still shocked and angry when it was confirmed.
"This person is so disgusting. What is the family going to do now?"
Gu Huai lowered his head and said, "We'll settle accounts with the You family, get a divorce, and compensate Hongmei for all the harm she's suffered at the hands of You Shengxing over the years, and for the loss of her life that was ruined by him."
Yu Hui nodded. After being schemed against and harmed like that, she really shouldn't just get a divorce and leave it at that. She must get the compensation she deserves.
Gu Huai sighed, "If I really couldn't leave, I would go home."
Yu Hui comforted him, "There are so many people at home, and my parents are not easy to bully. We should be able to handle it."
Gu Huai nodded and continued cutting the meat.
The next day, except for the old lady, Gu Qiuyu, Gu Bin and Gu Yang, all the members of the Gu family went out and took tractors into the county town.
"You Shengxing should be at work at this time, right? Should we go to his house or the factory?" Gu Hai asked his parents as the tractor drove into the city.
Gu Pingshan thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to his house."
This is originally a matter between the two families. It is inappropriate to cause trouble in the factory and delay the workers' work.
When he got home, he asked someone to call You Shengxing back.
So Gu Jiang drove the tractor to the staff quarters outside the garment factory.
After the tractor stopped, the entire Gu family got off the vehicle in a large group.
During the holidays, the Gu family would come to visit the You family. Although not many people came, the people in the family compound also knew a few members of the Gu family.
Seeing so many people coming, everyone in the family compound felt a little surprised.
It's not a festival, and the You family didn't say they were holding a birthday party. Why did so many people from the Gu family come?
"Hey, Hongmei is back?" Aunt Liu, who has a good relationship with Gu Hongmei, looked at Gu Hongmei and asked.
"Yeah." Gu Hongmei nodded.
"I haven't seen you these days. Did you go back to your parents' home?" Aunt Liu said as she glanced at Gu Pingshan and others.
"Yeah." Gu Hongmei nodded, not wanting to talk to her any more.
Aunt Liu also noticed it. Seeing that the Gu family members had faces as black as the bottom of a pot, it seemed that the whole family had gathered together at this time, and it might not be for some good reason.
"Hongmei, why did you bring so many people here?" Ding Juan, who had slightly gray hair on her temples and had a good relationship with You's mother, stood next to the washing table and frowned at Gu Hongmei.
Didn't You Shengxing adopt a child because she couldn't have children? Not only was she unhappy, she even brought so many people to her house to make trouble today.
If you ask her, what right does Gu Hongmei have to be unhappy? It's because she can't have children.
It's a good thing Shengxing didn't divorce her. She still doesn't want others to adopt the child. Shengxing should divorce her.
Gu Hongmei didn't want to pay attention to her. She often complained to her mother-in-law that she couldn't have children and looked for folk remedies for her everywhere.
"Mom and Dad, let's go upstairs first." The You family's three-bedroom apartment is on the second floor.
Zhao Changying glared at Ding Juan and followed her daughter upstairs.
Ding Juan saw that Gu Hongmei ignored her and felt that she was being ignored. She was unhappy and said to Gu Pingshan and his wife who were about to go upstairs: "Look at your daughter. She ignores the elders when they talk to her. She has no manners at all."
Zhao Changyin retorted bluntly, "What kind of elder are you? Why should my daughter care about you? You're really good at flattering yourself."
Ding Juan's face turned pale and she pursed her lips, unable to speak.
This is just an old shrew.
"It's true that a daughter is like her mother. If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked."
"What did you say?" Gu Jiang pointed at Ding Juan and shouted.
Ding Juan shuddered with fear, glaring at Gu Jiang with her hands on her hips. "What's the matter? Do you still want to hit someone?"
"Try to talk a few more times, and I'll beat you up." Zhao Changying pointed at Ding Juan and said.
When people upstairs and downstairs heard the noise downstairs, they all stuck their heads out of their homes to look.
Ding Juan wanted to save face, so she naturally couldn't lose in front of her neighbors. "If you have the guts, try fighting."
Zhao Changying's fists hardened.
Ding Juan continued, "We're the family compound of the garment factory. How could you, a bitch from the countryside, let her run wild?"
"I'm going to let you go after you've been so wild today." Zhao Changying suddenly rushed to Ding Juan, grabbed her hair, and punched her waist twice.
This is the best place to hit in a fight. It hurts but outsiders can't see it.
Ding Juan howled and tried to grab Zhao Changying's hair. Zheng Rong, Wang Mei and Tian Ying came over to separate them. One grabbed her left hand, one grabbed her right hand, and one hugged her waist.
Zhao Changying took the opportunity to punch her twice in the stomach. Ding Juan rolled her eyes in pain, but she still kicked Zhao Changying with her raised foot.
Other people in the yard also came forward to separate the fight and pulled Zhao Changying apart.
After the two were pulled apart, Zheng Rong and her two sisters-in-law let go of Ding Juan.
The latter sat down on the ground, slapped his thigh and cried, "I want to report to the police, I want to report to the police."
Zhao Changying was not afraid. "Report it, I'm not afraid. It was you who spoke dirty words first, and it was you who asked me to hit you. Everyone in the yard is watching."
Many people in the family compound disliked Ding Juan. The reason was that she spoke too harshly. She was always saying this and that, taking advantage of her age and seniority, and always acting like an elder in front of young people.
They were all neighbors, and they saw each other every day. Everyone endured and didn't argue with her, so she thought she was something important.
Now that I see her being beaten, I feel pretty good.
Besides, she was the one who spoke harshly and started to tease people.
A middle-aged woman whose daughter works at the Public Security Bureau looked at Ding Juan and said, "Hey, Sister Juan, you just kicked someone too. Even if you report this to the police, it's still considered a fight. The most they can do is ask you to apologize to each other and settle the matter."
Ding Juan was shocked. "She hit me so many times, and I only kicked her once. How can this be considered a fight?"
"She was the first to make a move!"
"Weren't you the one who scolded me first?" Aunt Liu asked back.
Ding Juan: “…”
"Pooh." Zhao Changying smoothed her hair and spat at Ding Juan who was sitting on the ground.
"You..." Ding Juan glared at Zhao Changying hatefully.
Zhao Changying: "Call the police immediately. I'll be waiting for you."
"..." Ding Juan couldn't breathe out the air, so she patted her chest and rolled her eyes. It took several pats before she could breathe freely.
At this time, You Hongguo and his wife came back from outside holding their grandson's hands. When they saw the Gu family in the yard and Ding Juan sitting on the ground with messy hair and untidy clothes, they were stunned at first.
Why are there so many people from the Gu family?
