Chapter 230 Zhu Family Adoption Troubles
Shen Yi nodded slightly to him to express his gratitude.
Zhu Yixuan found out the result very quickly and went to find Shen Yi in person. "That man is called Xiong Kai. He is from Zhaohua County like us. He was imprisoned for committing a crime before. When the war broke out, he was sent to the border in advance. He had been on the battlefield and survived. That's why he was pardoned and transferred to our new recruits."
When Ye An heard this, he immediately became excited, "You mean he is innocent now?"
Zhu Yixuan paused and nodded, "That's right."
"It's so unfair!" Ye An clenched his fists in anger.
Zhu Yixuan, however, had a calm expression, "There is no such thing as fairness or unfairness. Those who were exiled for committing crimes had to rush to the front of the battlefield from the beginning. If one out of ten survives, they are lucky. Xiong Kai has charged into battle more than once. I heard that some generals above him admire him very much. It is only a matter of time before he is pardoned.
But he was only pardoned for his crimes. It is not easy for him to climb up the career ladder by making meritorious contributions. Or it is more difficult than for us, after all, he is also a criminal. "
Ye An still felt uncomfortable.
Shen Yi didn't react much, he stepped forward, bowed to Zhu Yixuan, and thanked him solemnly.
Zhu Yixuan waved his hands, "Actually I should be the one thanking you. After all... Never mind, let's not talk about that. If you need me in the future, just let me know. If you don't like that Xiong Kai, I can help you keep an eye on him."
"Thank you!"
After Zhu Yixuan left, Song Yongnian slowly said, "That Xiong Kai is really lucky. He is indeed a disaster that will last for thousands of years!"
Shen Yi thought of Su Chunlin and said immediately: "I must remind my father-in-law and the others that the current Xiong Kai is not the same Xiong Kai as before. He must have killed someone and his heart is even crueler than before."
As soon as he looked into each other's eyes, he could feel the hostility and murderous aura from Xiong Kai.
The two nodded at the same time.
Song Yongnian seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly widened. "Oh, right, didn't he lose his life force? How come he is still so brave?"
This question stumped everyone else.
After Su Chunlin and the others found out about Xiong Kai, they all felt as uncomfortable as if they had swallowed a fly.
Su Chunlin couldn't hold back and wanted to settle the score with Xiong Kai, but was stopped by Su Chunsen.
"We don't even know his background yet, so don't show up easily. Let's wait and see what happens."
At this moment, the battalion commander where Zhu Yixuan served started to make a fuss.
They hurried over to see what was going on.
I saw a group of people surrounding the bear and beating it non-stop.
"Speaking of Chen Yi being unlucky, I think you are the most unlucky. When there was a severe drought, we all decided to ask Chen Yi to help us dig a well. It was you and Mo Laotian's family who stopped us, causing us to miss the opportunity to make a fortune and almost starve to death!
It is also because of you that we were unable to plant high-yield crops in time. Now Dongmen Village and Zhongmen Village have become prosperous, but our Ximen Village is still in tatters, all because of you two bad apples!"
"Brother, what's the point of bringing up old scores with him? We want him to pay us back!"
"Yes! You have to pay me back! I haven't settled the fireworks debt with you yet, but you went out to hurt others, causing my sister's marriage to fall through. Now that people hear that we are from Ximen Village, they want to take a detour. It's all because of you!"
"Xiong Kai, how dare you still live? People like you should just die!"
Xiong Kai remained silent in the face of accusations from fellow villagers.
Su Chunlin frowned deeply after just a moment's glance, and muttered to Su Chunsen beside him, "No, that's not right. There's something wrong with this kid. We have to be more careful about him in the future."
Su Chunsen agreed with this.
Chen Zhuang was confused, "What are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"
The two brothers sighed at the same time.
Su Chunlin explained to him, "Xiong Kai has an impulsive personality. He will get angry and fight with others if provoked. He has gotten into trouble many times because of his impulsiveness. Look at how bad the people are saying now. They deliberately provoked Xiong Kai to make him fight, but look at his reaction.
Not to mention being angry and patient, he doesn't even have the slightest emotional fluctuation. This kind of person is either indifferent to everything or he is holding back his fart. Which type do you think he is?"
Chen Zhuang realized it and got goosebumps all over his body. "Forget it, let's go. Try to stay away from this person when you see him next time."
Su Chunlin touched the thing on his wrist and was about to make a move, but in the end reason overcame impulse and he turned and left.
Su Tai, who had just had a reunion dinner with Ke Yunyun and her family, led the children to set off small fireworks in the yard.
The three little kids were attracted by the light of the fireworks sticks. They sat in a row obediently and kept clapping for Su Tai.
Ke Yunyun was eager to try it out, so she started playing too.
There was laughter and joy here, but in the county town, there was no festive atmosphere at all in the Zhu and Bai families.
Mrs. Bai seemed to have lost all her energy and spirit because her beloved son went to the battlefield. She did nothing but eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures every day. She seemed to have given up the power she once held tightly in her hands and handed it all over to Zhu.
Zhu was naturally surprised, but she had no children and was worried about making wedding dresses for others, so she couldn't help but worry about gains and losses after taking charge of the household.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, he immediately took Rulan back to her parents' home to complain to Mrs. Zhu.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the door, she heard that Mrs. Zhu was ill, and hurried to the main courtyard.
When Mrs. Zhu saw her, her tears burst out all of a sudden, "What a sin! What a sin! Why did I marry such a troublesome daughter-in-law, wuwuwu!"
"Mother, what's wrong with my sister-in-law? Her family is ruined, but she's still not behaving herself?" Zhu subconsciously clenched her fists, wanting to stand up for Madam Zhu.
Madam Zhu shook her head and cursed angrily, "She is a lunatic now, and it's impossible to reason with her. What if you go there and she makes a scene again and beats you up?
Although I don't like her, she is your eldest brother's first wife after all, and I have to wait until your eldest brother comes back before deciding how to deal with her."
Zhu was a little confused, "Mom, what did she do?"
Madam Zhu sighed in frustration, "Since she lost her son, she has been trying to find ways to adopt her son. She said that the Zhu family's child does not have her bloodline, and she does not want it. She must adopt her mother's child. Listen, is this reasonable? Oh, could it be that the Cui family's child has the bloodline of our Zhu family?
She was really capable of such an open plan to take our Zhu family's property! She took the initiative to bring up this matter on New Year's Eve, and I rejected her on the spot. She refused and made a scene and even smashed plates. Your father also got angry and yelled at Cui, saying that he would ask your eldest brother to divorce his wife.
I thought she would continue to act crazy and make trouble with your father, but I didn't expect her to calm down. She just kept crying and saying how much she had given to the Zhu family over the years, and that the Zhu family owed her. Your father was very angry, but her father-in-law didn't know how to deal with his daughter-in-law, so he had to hand her over to me. I really didn't want to take care of her, so I had her locked up temporarily and told others that she was sick.
I don’t know how long they can be imprisoned! Although the Cui family has fallen, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. They still have some connections and means, and they may be able to make a comeback. We can’t be too drastic.”
