Chapter 151 Black Market Transactions Reveal Business Opportunities
He silently shed tears, heartbroken that his father had gone to so much trouble to plan for him and clean up his messes, only to be furious at his father's mistakes.
Therefore, he hoped that his father would not be soft-hearted and would take drastic measures when necessary, so that he could still have time to sleep after beating his father.
But Xiao Gansu's words reached Jiang Anchao's ears.
Especially since he's currently in a berserk phase, it sounds particularly like a rebellious son's provocation.
Jiang Anchao frowned deeply, his face practically etched with a series of question marks.
"Hey! You little brat, have you lost all attachment to this world?"
Isn't this like going to the outhouse with a flashlight, eagerly looking for shit?
Jiang Anchao was furious and stepped forward to slap his buttocks.
Hearing the commotion, Li Zhengyang and Cuiping rushed out to break up the fight, "Hey! Don't hit the child, what are you doing!"
As Cuiping stepped forward and grabbed Gan Su, she directed Li Zhengyang to break up the fight.
Li Zhengyang blocked Jiang Anchao with a grin.
The father was already furious when disciplining his son, but Jiang Anchao couldn't bring himself to actually hit him, as he would feel even more distressed if he hurt him.
But if we don't fight, we can't make Jiang Gansu fully realize his mistakes.
The appearance of Li Zhengyang and his wife has just broken this delicate situation, giving Jiang Anchao a way out while also maintaining his authority as a father.
Jiang Anchao glared fiercely at the little boss, "If your Uncle Zhengyang hadn't come to break up the fight, I would have beaten you to death!"
Li Zhengyang almost burst out laughing after hearing this.
Good heavens, he had just come over to break up the fight, and before he even touched Brother Jiang, he couldn't bear to hit Su the Second again.
Why pretend to be fierce now?
It's clearly the father who's worried about his son and is trying to save face.
"Yes, yes, I'm here now, Brother Jiang, please don't argue with a child like this. You've been traveling all day, have you eaten yet? Why don't you come to my house for a bite to eat?"
With tears streaming down his face, Gan Su choked back sobs and bowed to his father.
"Dad, I really know I was wrong. I promise I will never run away from home again. Don't be angry. You should go to bed early."
He really wanted his father to go to sleep early, even if it meant getting a hard beating.
He hadn't expected his words to be provocative.
In the end, it was Deng Qiu who came out of the kitchen and ended this dramatic scene of beating the child.
"Come in and eat, the chicken noodle soup is ready."
Seeing this, Cuiping quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, the food is ready, let's eat quickly. Please don't hit him again. The military dependents' compound is neither too big nor too small. If you hit a child, the whole compound can hear it. Brother Jiang, please don't be angry anymore."
Jiang An snorted coldly, "Did you hear me? I told you to go eat, so hurry up and finish your meal and go to sleep! Drink some ginger soup before you go to bed!"
After saying that, he pulled Li Zhengyang to the living room.
Immediately, the Jiang family's living room was filled with people.
Li Zhengyang shook hands with Ji Yanjing, and the two introduced themselves briefly.
They started chatting and talked about their trip to Xishan Village that day.
As he listened, Li Zhengyang couldn't help but sigh, "Evil spirits come from remote and impoverished areas. They rely on their lack of education and local bullies to act like local tyrants. It's time to give them a good overhaul. Fortunately, we got what we were supposed to get from Gan Su, so we didn't lose anything."
This trip wasn't a complete loss.
Jiang An quickly finished the noodles in his bowl and wiped his mouth.
“Ma Jianhua was the worst kind of scoundrel. Back then, he was the one selected to join the army, but he was scared. Because during that period, the conscription wasn't about selling cabbages; it was about going to the battlefield and risking your life. He didn't want to join the army, so he ran away. As the only male in the family, Ma Jianguo had no choice but to talk to the village committee and change his name to his own so he could go to the army in place of his brother.”
Ji Yanjing raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Can this really work? The household registration check is very strict. Whoever is asked to go has to go. There's no reason to substitute them."
Jiang Anchao's eyes darkened, his tone inexplicably grave. "It might be stricter in the city, but there are no photos on the household registration book, so who knows what someone looks like? This is common in rural areas. They cross out the name before submission and change it to Jianguo, which is considered to be in accordance with the procedure. It's only in the city that it's strictly controlled, but it's not unheard of for someone to impersonate another person to join the army..."
He sighed inwardly as he said this.
He then chuckled self-deprecatingly and changed the subject, "You probably know the gist of what happened next. After joining the army after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he did better and better, and his parents were able to get an extra pound of pork every year. Their lives gradually improved. Then Ma Jianhua ran back from out of town. He lied to his parents that he had gone to work in a factory, but in reality, he didn't bring back a single penny. Instead, he started eyeing the money in his parents' hands."
"Later, Jianguo and his wife died in the line of duty, leaving behind only one child at home. The child's grandparents are old, and Ma Jianhua, who receives a pension, claims to be supporting the child but actually mistreats Gansu. So you tell me... shouldn't I get this debt back for Gansu? If I really can't get back Jianguo and his wife's house, then I will truly be letting down my comrades and even more so Gansu."
Deng Qiu listened quietly to what he said, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
She had previously thought Jiang Anchao was a kind and righteous person, but today she felt it very clearly.
Her husband was a towering figure, a flesh-and-blood human being.
He was loyal to his comrades, devoted to his adopted son, and loving towards his wife.
But he always demanded too much of himself, and this kind of shackle was also a kind of pain for Anchao.
Li Zhengyang sighed helplessly, "It's a big taboo in the army to use someone else's name to join the army. People like Jianguo, who changed their names when they were reported, are not a big deal. But when Sucheng was recruiting, how fierce was the controversy? It was okay for brothers to switch places, but there were also parents who didn't want their only son to join the army, so they shaved their daughter's head and sent her to the army. They were found out on the spot, and the whole family was demoted."
"Pshaw, national laws and regulations are not child's play. Anyone who impersonates someone else will be dismissed from their post or even convicted. The management is getting stricter and stricter now. No one can escape."
Ji Yanjing commented on the Su family's affairs, unaware that Jiang Anchao's face paled slightly after he finished speaking.
There was a subtle pause in the atmosphere inside the room.
Deng Qiu noticed this and took the initiative to change the subject.
"Let's just let this matter rest and never mention it again. But Jiang Gansu must be sent to kindergarten after the New Year to be properly supervised. He can't be idle at the end of the year; he should go sell vegetables with Zhizhi every day!"
Selling vegetables?!
