Zhao Aiguo talked with Secretary Li for a while. When he came out, Li Meiyu was unaware that Zhao Aiguo had already told Secretary Li the truth. She pretended to see him out.
"Zhao Aiguo, from now on..." Seeing Zhao Aiguo staring at her coldly, "Why are you looking at me like that? What's wrong?"
"Lü Xiaozhou is Ma Renyi's son, didn't you know?" Upon hearing this, Li Meiyu's face drained of color, and she stammered, tears welling in her eyes, "I...I..."
"You know, you know everything! They killed so many people. Your father was lucky he didn't succeed. And you actually dated the son of the enemy who hurt your father, you...you really..." Li Meiyu burst into tears. "I'm shameless, aren't I? But it's his parents who did wrong, it has nothing to do with him. Lü Xiaozhou's mistake was..."
Zhao Aiguo looked at her coldly and said, "You should be glad that I don't hit women. Back when Secretary Li got into trouble, he didn't tip you off in advance. When your family was brought down, he didn't lend a hand either. Now it's time to settle old scores. Why are you still arguing with him? What's wrong with that?"
His family didn't kill your father, but now you want to kill him, don't you?
"Is that fair? He was just a child back then. He's innocent. If he's guilty, go find his parents. He's innocent!" Li Meiyu cried out helplessly.
"What about those who died? My great-grandfather Park died at their hands. He was such a clean and warm-hearted person, but in the end, he suffered all kinds of torment and died alone in the septic tank. Uncle Park didn't even dare to stay in this sad place."
How many people have died because of them? You're here crying and begging us to forgive them. Ask those who died unjustly, their families! Do they forgive them? Ask yourself, what gives you the right to forgive them on their behalf! Zhao Aiguo shouted at the end. He had always been a very stable person. He rarely got angry, except for the time when his father was injured. This was only the second time.
With red eyes, she looked at Li Meiyu with disappointment, "They should go to hell to atone for their sins!"
After saying that, he turned around, rode away on his bicycle, and tears streamed down his face. Damn it, why are devils on earth while people cry in hell? These bastards should all go to hell.
When she got home, she didn't go to the main house to greet her grandparents. Instead, she went back to her own little room, lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), and cried.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao sensed something was wrong, so the elderly couple quickly put on their shoes and went to Zhao Aiguo's room one after the other. When they saw their eldest grandson crying, Mrs. Zhao asked with heartache, "Grandson, what's wrong? Who bullied you?"
Zhao Aiguo sat up, wiping away tears, and said, "Lü Xiaozhou's father is Ma Renyi, the bastard who harmed Grandpa Dapu. He killed so many people, ruined so many families, why should his son be forgiven? He doesn't deserve it!..."
Zhao's parents discerned the truth from Zhao Aiguo's incoherent words. They were furious. In the past ten years, they had lost so many old friends and leaders who had shown them kindness. The couple sat on either side of Zhao Aiguo, comforting him. The boy cried uncontrollably, "Why? Isn't it said that good and evil will eventually be rewarded? Why don't good people get good rewards!"
“Grandson, haven’t you heard of the saying, ‘Observe the crab with a cold eye and see how long it can swagger around?’ When it turns red, it’s time for it to die!” Zhao’s father comforted Zhao Aiguo. The couple stayed with their grandson until he cried himself to sleep before returning to their own room.
Zhao's mother said sadly, "My dear husband, I feel that our patriotism is not suited to such a complicated environment. Look, he's changed jobs and his smiling face is gone. He was so happy when he was a driver, always coming home cheerful."
"Yes! I regret it too. We've had enough of loving our country, being safe and happy, but who knew we'd make such a mistake?" The couple returned to their room and remained silent all night.
When Zhao Dahu found out about this, even his smooth-talking nature couldn't comfort his son. He said to his father, "Dad, how about we cook something nice for him today? Maybe that will cheer him up."
Just then, Zhao Aiguo came out and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad, don't bother. I have a business dinner today and won't be home for dinner tonight."
He hurriedly ate a few bites and left. Actually, he didn't have much to do that evening. He hadn't been happy at the office all day, acting like someone owed him money. He finally got to leave work, collected his salary, and rode his bicycle around the streets. He happened to run into Li Qiuxiang leaving get off work. "Sister Qiuxiang!" Li Qiuxiang stopped her bicycle and said, "Section Chief Zhao! What's up?"
"Is there anything you need me to do lately?" Li Qiuxiang's teeth ached. Damn it, how much extra money had she spent because of him? She immediately shook her head like a rattle-drum. "No, nothing! We're not on the same level anymore, we don't need to connect! I have to go back to see the kids!"
"No way! I'll treat you to dinner!" Li Qiuxiang pouted like a fool. "Are you crazy or stupid? You've never offered to treat me to dinner before? I've known you for so many years, when have you ever been so considerate?"
Zhao Aiguo scoffed, "Didn't we get paid? We have to act like big shots for a couple of days! Otherwise, we'll be playing the fool for the whole month!..." Before he could finish, Li Qiuxiang screamed, "Ah!..."
Zhao Aiguo followed her gaze and saw that this woman had abandoned her bicycle shop and was sprinting forward at top speed, yelling, "Zhao Yunxiang, you fucking stop right there!..."
Zhao Aiguo also stopped and ran over, but it was too late. Zhao Yunxiang's dagger pierced Wang Dong's chest. When Li Qiuxiang arrived, she kicked Zhao Yunxiang to the side. Wang Dong was already lying in a pool of blood. Wang Fang was terrified and could only scream!
As Zhao Yunxiang stood up, picked up a knife, and was about to stab Li Qiuxiang again, Zhao Aiguo rushed over and kicked him to the ground. During the fight, Zhao Aiguo tried to protect Li Qiuxiang, and his arms and hands were cut. Li Qiuxiang couldn't even think of fighting back; she cried hysterically, "Help! Help!"
