Chapter 356 What to do if they refuse to leave!
The second day of the Lunar New Year is traditionally the day to visit one's maternal grandmother's home, but neither Li Xiang nor Li Mengxin had a maternal home, so everyone stayed in the courtyard for a barbecue that day.
Gu Qinglang's phone rang halfway through his meal. He was puzzled to see that it was the village chief calling.
The call connected: "Happy New Year, Village Chief!"
Li Sen looked at the people in the Gu family courtyard and said helplessly, "Happy New Year, well, Second Brother Gu, your sister-in-law's aunt has come to wish us a Happy New Year! The whole family is here! I came over to help feed the pigs, but the door wasn't closed and they came in. I explained to them that you weren't home and had gone to Beijing, but they didn't believe me and refused to leave. Now what do you think we should do?"
Hearing Li Sen's words, Old Mrs. Jiang's face darkened. If she hadn't really needed the Gu family's help, she definitely wouldn't have come!
Jiang Yuren also looked displeased, but dared not utter a word.
Gu Qinglang raised an eyebrow, covered his phone, and looked at his wife: "Grandma Jiang won't leave her hometown. The village chief asked us how to handle it. What do you think?"
While seasoning the chicken wings, Li Mengxin said, "Just tell the village chief to close the gate and leave. Don't worry about the others. They're just insignificant people, not worth thinking about."
Gu Qinglang nodded and relayed Li Mengxin's words to Li Sen.
Li Sen hung up the phone after hearing the message.
The Jiang family looked at Li Sen, and the old lady asked with a slightly arrogant tone, "How did it go? What did my niece say?"
Li Sen pointed to the door: "Let's go to my house, then we'll video chat. If you have anything to say, just tell her directly. She's in Beijing and won't be coming back. If you don't want to video chat, then there's nothing I can do."
The old lady nodded upon hearing this, got up, and went out the door.
Li Sen followed behind expressionlessly. After everyone had left, he locked the door, then, without looking at anything else, got on his bicycle and left the village.
The Jiang family initially thought the village chief was going to ride his bike home, but they only realized they had been tricked after he left the village!
Watching Li Sen walk away, the old lady almost ground her teeth to powder!
Jiang Yuren gritted his teeth and pounded the wall hard: "It's true that bad people come from poor and remote places! Mom, what do we do now?" He then looked at the old lady.
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Go home!" The old lady got into the car angrily.
Jiang Yuren sat in the driver's seat, looked at the back seat through the rearview mirror, and coughed lightly: "If we don't get the money soon, the house will be mortgaged."
"Then let's just mortgage it. Go back to your hometown and I can't control you anymore. Anyway, you didn't tell me when you started gambling, and you ended up owing so much money and even resorting to loan sharks. When I tried to advise you, you said I was meddling. Do whatever you want, I can't control you anymore. I'm already this old, and I still have to come here begging with a long face! It's so shameful! When your dad and I take Aqing back to our hometown, whether you and your husband get divorced or whatever, it's none of our business!"
Seeing that the old lady was furious, Jiang Yuren dared not say anything more, otherwise what if she really abandoned him?
The two returned to the county, but the old lady refused to go back with him and got off the bus to go to the vegetable market.
Jiang Yuren went home by himself. The house was very quiet, unlike the New Year. It was true, ever since he was fired after owing high-interest loans, his wife had taken their son back to her parents' home.
Jiang Yuren leaned back on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Thinking of something, he got up, locked the door, and went into the old lady's room, rummaging through drawers and cabinets.
Then, under the bed, I found the old lady's bankbook. I opened it and checked the latest withdrawal information, and found that there was still 200,000 yuan in the bankbook! Just as I was about to take it away, I noticed there was a box there as well.
Upon opening the box, Jiang Yuren discovered two gold bracelets, a gold ring, and a gold necklace inside.
Jiang Yuren's eyes lit up with an unprecedented light. He hurriedly put all the gold jewelry into his pocket, grabbed his car keys, and went downstairs.
Upon arriving at the bank, Jiang Yuren learned that the secret to the family savings account was his son's birthday, so he withdrew all the money and then rushed to the casino! With so much money, he was sure he could recoup his losses!
When the old lady returned from grocery shopping and saw the messy house, she staggered. Without thinking, she immediately called the police.
When she and the police arrived at the casino, Jiang Yuren was already gambling himself into oblivion, sitting or lying awkwardly on the sofa. Everyone else in the casino had already left, and he was the only one left, panting heavily.
"Where are my money and jewelry?" the old woman asked, reaching into his pockets to search, but couldn't find a single penny!
A slap landed on Jiang Yuren's face.
Jiang Yuren finally came to his senses.
"Where's the money!" the old woman demanded sharply, her eyes red.
Seeing that it was the old lady, Jiang Yuren's eyes turned red. He frantically grabbed the old lady and shook her, shouting, "Mom! Give me the money! I almost made it back! Really! Give me the money! I will definitely make it back this time! I will definitely pay back that million! I will give you all the money I make! Mom! Give me the money! Hurry!"
Seeing that the old lady was about to faint from being shaken, the police quickly rescued her from Jiang Yuren's grasp, then arrested Jiang Yuren and put him in the police car.
The old lady's body went limp, all her energy gone. She bent over and sat on the ground. From a distance, it was impossible to tell what she was thinking or whether she regretted spoiling her child.
The third day of the Lunar New Year.
Gu Yin got up before dawn, thinking she was the first one up, but when she got to the main room, the old lady was already busy in the kitchen.
"Grandma, why are you up so early? It's not even seven o'clock yet!"
The old lady took out a food box: "I've made you some meat buns, two chicken legs, beef jerky and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that your Aunt Zhu made yesterday, and some other food. Take it to the training camp, and when you want to eat it later, just ask the canteen staff to heat it up for you!"
Gu Yin ran over to take a look, and the aroma was irresistible! She couldn't resist grabbing a steamed bun and starting to eat: "I must have gained a few pounds in these three days! It's so delicious!"
The old lady smiled and nodded, "It's good that you've gained weight! You're still too thin!" Then she added two more steamed buns.
As dawn broke, Gu Qinglang got up, grabbed a steamed bun and a food box, and the two headed towards the garage.
When Gu Yin arrived at the training camp, it wasn't time for class yet. She put her things away, took out her biology test paper, and started working on the questions.
In another week, the final assessment for biology will be held, after which four people will be selected to form the national team. Because of this, many people did not go home for the Chinese New Year.
