He came back to get some clean clothes to take to the hospital.
Without knocking, she pushed the door open and entered the siblings' room. Seeing them packing their luggage, she knew that Meng Fuyan had given in.
Wu Guozhu's expression softened, and he said to Meng Fuyan, "Come out, I have something to say to you."
Meng Fuyan knew it was about work, gave her younger brother a reassuring look, and then went out.
Wu Guozhu didn't mention their previous fight. Going to the countryside was a done deal, and he didn't even bother arguing with Meng Fuyan about it.
This girl is hard to control. She often acts unpredictably, throwing tantrums without any regard for her reputation. Wu Guozhu still feels lingering fear about Meng Fuyan's past feat of scolding Wu Siyu for three days and three nights.
Adding to what Meng Fuyan said in front of the neighbors during the day, Wu Guozhu knew that things shouldn't escalate, and it would be best to let it go.
Anyway, she's going to the countryside, so she won't cause any trouble.
Wu Guozhu put on a kind father's face and said to Meng Fuyan, "Yanyan, you have always been a sensible child. The quota for going to the countryside has been determined and cannot be changed. Your job will be given to your second brother. As siblings, we should help each other."
“As long as you are obedient and a good child, your father will send you supplies and living expenses after you go to the countryside. The Northeast is a very cold place, and there are many old bachelors in the countryside who can't find wives. They like to knock on young girls' doors in the middle of the night. You are a city girl, and you will attract a lot of attention in the countryside. Without the help of your family, you will only have one way out: death.”
"Yunji is still in this house, you don't want to leave him alone, do you?"
The words were full of threats, used against a teenage girl.
Oh!
Meng Fuyan stared at the person in front of her with a gloomy look in her eyes, but Wu Guozhu didn't take him seriously at all. He just stood there, neither refuting, nor getting angry, nor insulting, and of course, he didn't care.
He was completely self-centered and ignored everything Meng Fuyan did.
It's often this kind of situation that makes people even more devastated and angry!
Just like husbands in later generations who enjoy emotional abuse towards their wives, ignoring their wives' sacrifices and grievances, and deliberately saying things to provoke their wives' sensitive nerves, watching them break down and go crazy.
Meng Fuyan had long known about Wu Guozhu's methods, so of course she wouldn't let him lead her by the nose. She didn't take this kind of cold violence-like suppression to heart at all.
After a long silence, Meng Fuyan finally said through gritted teeth, as if she had no choice but to compromise, "Fine, I agree to give the job to my second brother, but I have one condition."
Wu Guozhu smiled. "That's right, that's a good daughter of yours. Tell me, what do you want?"
Meng Fuyan curled her lips, "My job is very valuable, two thousand yuan, and I will agree to give you the job. Otherwise, if I am not doing well, then no one will be doing well either. If I make a scene, your whole family will not look good in the factory. You will only be able to reach the position of deputy factory director for the rest of your life, and who knows, you might even fall from grace one day."
Wu Guozhu's face immediately darkened. "You dare threaten me?"
"You can also be free from threats."
Wu Guozhu retorted angrily, "You don't lack this little bit of money at all!"
Meng Fuyan certainly didn't lack anything; even if she didn't empty her house, she still wouldn't lack anything.
But that doesn't stop her from wanting it!
"You don't want to?" Her voice was laced with a strong threat.
Wu Guozhu was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "This job isn't worth two thousand yuan."
"I just want two thousand yuan, give it to me or not is up to you!"
The father and daughter faced off for a while, and finally, after weighing the options, Wu Guozhu agreed.
"There's one more thing. You have to move out of this house. Since those burdens have already turned against me, don't even think about living in my house anymore. This house is mine, and nobody else can live here."
Wu Guozhu smirked, his eyes filled with disdain, as if mocking Meng Fuyan's naiveté.
The Meng family is all dead, so isn't he the one who gets to call the shots on this house?
However, he didn't confront Meng Fuyan directly. Anyway, once she left, what he did was up to him.
It would be best if Meng Fuyan could listen to him. He didn't want things to get too ugly. This girl had never been a kind person before. She often made a scene without regard for her reputation. He had lost face a lot because of her.
Seeing the fierceness in her eyes this time, Wu Guozhu was genuinely worried that the young girl was hot-tempered and would act recklessly when she made a scene.
"Okay, I promise you, I'll give you two thousand yuan when you leave."
"Give me the money now."
Meng Fuyan ignored the ambiguity in his words and asked for money directly.
Wu Guozhu got up and went to the bedroom to get the money. A moment later, he slammed two thousand yuan on the table and said, "Take it!"
Meng Fuyan didn't mind at all. She even picked up the bills one by one and counted them carefully to make sure there were no problems before putting them in her bosom and turning to go into the room.
After closing the door, she and her younger brother continued packing their luggage.
Soon, she heard the door close. Wu Guozhu had taken the clothes and left. She knew that Wu Guozhu probably wouldn't come back before she went to the countryside, lest he provoke her into making a scene again.
Meng Fuyan smiled and went to the kitchen to prepare some food for Lu Xingming. It was getting late, so she went to bed.
In the middle of the night, while everyone was still asleep, Meng Fuyan quietly got up, went to check on her younger brother, thought for a moment, and then gave him some hypnotic substances to smell before putting him in her spatial storage and taking him away.
As a young woman of modest means, Meng Fuyan had a bicycle for everyday use in addition to the dowry her mother had prepared for her. Under the cover of darkness, Meng Fuyan left the residential compound without anyone noticing.
The weather wasn't great tonight; there was hardly any moonlight, and it was pitch black. But Meng Fuyan wasn't afraid; in fact, she was a little excited.
Half an hour later, they arrived in the suburbs, not far from the Meng family's old house.
The Meng family is at the very top of the pyramid; their wealth accumulated over several generations has led to their current immense fortune.
Changning City is the ancestral home of the Meng family. In their early years, their great-grandparents were servants under a big capitalist in Shanghai, and they were the kind of capable assistants who managed many of the capitalists' properties and shops. They also came into contact with very high-level people.
Later, the capitalists moved their families abroad, while the Meng family chose to stay. Soon, they faced a class division. Because their great-grandparents were servants, they belonged to the oppressed class. After some maneuvering, their class status became exceptionally good.
Then, the two used their past connections to become national capitalists.
Before 1966, national capitalists lived a very comfortable life.
Although the industry belonged to the state, they were still the managers. They received high salaries and large dividends, and lived a very comfortable life during that period.
My great-grandparents later fell seriously ill and felt that the overall environment was not stable enough, so they made a fortune and then stopped, handing over all their assets to pave the way for my retired grandfather. As a result, my grandfather took up the post of director of Changning Machinery Factory as soon as he retired.
