Chang Guofu sneered: "I'll let you leave, but you'll have to return our family's assets!"
The neighbors were abuzz with gossip. Not long after the liberation, the Chang family moved into a detached house in Shuangdong Hutong that everyone envied. It turned out that they had seized other people's property.
Old Chang clutched his chest in pain; Guo Fu had listened to the slander of a villain!
No matter how poor or miserable their family is, they would never take a single penny from others!
Before Chen Zhaodi could even make a move when money was mentioned, the Chang Lanhua sisters flew out of their house.
Chang Lanhua showed no mercy: "Chang Guofu! How dare you say that! Your shameless mother! She eloped with a married man! Had a child out of wedlock! And in the end, she even made the older generation sell their property to seek justice for her! If I were her, I would have killed myself!"
Chang Meihua chimed in, "That's right! Your mother caused all sorts of trouble in her family when she was alive! Even after she died, she still makes her family's life miserable!"
Chang Guofu was furious when he saw the Chang sisters humiliating their birth mother.
"Don't talk nonsense! My parents are a perfect couple, deeply in love!"
Chang Guofu firmly believes in the beautiful love between his parents, which can be corroborated by a letter his birth mother hid in his swaddling clothes.
Old Man Chang coughed violently, his emotions running high: "Fine, fine...you're right, you can leave now! I've never taken a single needle or thread from anyone! If you have evidence, sue me! I'll fight you to the end!"
Chang Guofu gritted his teeth. "That sounds nice, but sue? What are you going to use to sue me!"
Due to the passage of time, the parties involved have long since passed away, and the witnesses and physical evidence have vanished into the Milky Way of time.
Moreover, the people who collected his birth mother's body back then were from the Chang family. If they were careful and destroyed the evidence now, what would they have to sue with!
The Chang sisters rushed over, wanting to hit someone to vent their anger, but Chang Guofu decisively pulled the pregnant Cai Xinran in front of him to shield her from the attack.
Seeing that things were not going well, Chang Meihua pulled her older sister to the side.
The third child was indeed the illegitimate child born to my aunt and another man; he was exceptionally wicked!
Chang Lanhua bared her teeth and brandished her claws: "Plum Blossom, let go of me! I'll beat this guy to death! My parents have always favored this brat since he was a child, and in the end, he's an ungrateful wretch!"
"Go ahead and sue me if you dare! If you don't, our family will sue you in return! Your parents raised you all these years! Have you ever given them a single penny!"
Chang Meihua grabbed her older sister's hand and joined in the cursing.
"Who do you think you are! Trying to ask our family for things! Your parents raised you all these years! Even if they didn't do anything great, they still put in a lot of hard work!"
Chang Hongbing frowned. He felt that the Orchid Sisters had gone too far. Even though Chang Guofu had turned his back on him, rationally he still regarded Chang Guofu as a younger brother he had loved and cared for for decades.
Just as Chang Hongbing was about to speak, Chen Zhaodi pushed his shoulder to stop him.
"With the eldest and second youngest sisters taking the lead, don't you dare say anything out of line!"
Trying to cause trouble and affect the performance of the Chang Lan Hua sisters? No way!
The Chang sisters got more and more into their insults, and in one fell swoop they drove Chang Guofu away.
Chang Guofu fled with his mistress, while the Chang Lanhua sisters were still not satisfied.
"Mom and Dad, let's strike first and sue him! He's trying to claim kinship and still wants money from us! Let's get back all the money we've spent on him over the years!"
Old Man Chang was deeply affected by his youngest son's cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness. He was listless and waved perfunctorily.
"Go ahead and do as you please!"
He can't control anyone!
What a terrible mess we've made of this situation!
When Zhou Hongyu met Chen Zhaodi, Chen Zhaodi vividly recounted what had happened at home that morning.
Zhou Hongyu asked, "Then how was Chang Guofu released early? I heard that there's still no news about the others who were imprisoned with him!"
Cai family father and daughter, Sun Yanxia...
Chen Zhaodi shook her head; she didn't understand either.
As for why Chang Guofu was released early, Ah Kuan hired a lawyer to bail him out because his foreign nationality was a sensitive issue. Chang Guofu was released temporarily, but that doesn't mean he's out of danger.
Chang Guofu bought the house cheaply and transferred it to A-Kuan's name.
Originally, it was agreed that the house would be left for Cai Xinran and her child to live in, but Cai Xinran couldn't help but worry and tentatively said a few words.
Chang Guofu strongly refuted all of them.
His biological father is a wealthy and powerful businessman, so why would he covet his small house? The reason he revealed his desire for the house was simply so that he could remember his biological mother there.
As a son, he naturally had to be filial to his father, since his biological father still missed his deceased mother after all these years.
Cai Xinran, however, was filled with worry. In just a few days, she had experienced several unforgettable events, and her determination to stay with Chang Guofu began to waver.
Upon learning that Chang Guofu had submitted his resignation to the school, her anxiety reached its peak.
A few days later, the crimes of the Cai family father and daughter were investigated and clarified one by one.
When the authorities came to the Chang family home, the family was shocked to learn that they had suddenly become victims.
"...It has been found that twenty-five years ago, Cai used improper means to have his daughter, Cai Baozhu, who had failed the college entrance examination, take the place of Comrade Chang Xingwang in university..."
These words caused an uproar among the neighbors who had been waiting outside the Chang family's gate to watch the commotion.
Back then, everyone thought Chang Xingwang would get into university, but he failed in the end.
Just when everyone thought Chang Xingwang would repeat a year of high school, he suddenly left for another place.
However, the following year, Chang Guofu received a recommendation for the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army University, thus surpassing Chang Xingwang, who had left in disappointment, and becoming a long-standing hot topic in the alley.
Granny Liu was the most excited: "I told you, Chang Xingwang is college material. Just look at his second son. He's in a top national high school now. He's been better than others since he was little!"
Chang Rihui clearly resembled his father, Chang Xingwang, yet the Chang family actually believed that it was Zhou Hongyu's family's good genes that made him famous!
Others scoffed, "Old Liu, why are you so agitated? You were the one who yelled the loudest when Xingwang failed his college entrance exam!"
Chang Xingwang's failure to pass the college entrance examination was a shock, and he went to work in another place. Liu Pozi was still waiting to marry her eldest daughter into the Chang family, so she cursed for many days.
Granny Chang was wiping away tears in the corner. Her second son had known for a long time that someone had taken his place in university.
Unfortunately, he was alone and powerless. He had parents and siblings, so he could only swallow his anger. The third child was still in high school at the time, and if he was not careful, he would lose his high school diploma.
The second son only said this to her, and the next day he packed his bags and left for a distant place.
As Chang Xingwang's wife, Zhou Hongyu was called back from her workplace.
Zhou Hongyu was clearly taken aback when she learned the truth. She remembered that not long ago she had boasted that if Chang Xingwang could get into university, she would have the potential to become a writer!
Maybe she really does!
Old Man Chang was no longer listless, and his complexion became slightly rosy.
He made a request: "Leaders, after all these years, thanks to your investigation, the truth has come to light for our Xingwang family. I want to ask, will you be compensating our Xingwang family next?"
The second son has been working away from home for decades and has suffered so much; it's time for him to be transferred back!
