It was late at night and a cool breeze was blowing at the train station. People getting off the train pulled their clothes tightly together and walked in a hurry.
After a while, there was only a couple left on the platform. Both of them had a lot of white hair and looked very old. The woman supported the man and said, "Why didn't our son come to pick us up?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man slapped him again and said angrily: "You are the one who taught me to be so unfilial!"
A gust of cold wind blew, and he coughed and said, "Let's go home."
This person is not someone else, but the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee who was a big shot in the past, the deputy director of the Mediterranean Cai. Of course, he is just an ordinary person now. He made a mistake that all men would make, and was transferred out of the city. At that time, he thought it was a good idea to transfer him back as soon as things became less serious. But when he was transferred to another place, he realized that he could not come back after he left. He wanted to be transferred back to the city? It was not that simple.
Moreover, he was not valued when he went to the local area. This powerful dragon could not defeat the local snake. Moreover, many people knew that he had made some mistakes and naturally did not take him seriously.
Therefore, for more than ten years, he has been just a small section chief in a small county. Perhaps this is a good position that is out of reach for many people, but for Lao Cai it is a major setback and blow.
You know, if it weren't for this incident, he would have been well-off in the city. Only in that position could one know how much money there was. He was the deputy director. What's more, if he thought about it carefully, he should have been promoted to the position of director.
Unfortunately, he encountered a trap set by that bitch, which forced him to leave his hometown. He was depressed for more than ten years and finally retired this year. He also came back in the name of visiting relatives. As for the person next to him, he was naturally not someone else.
It was Jiang Baohong.
Jiang Baohong divorced Lao Cai to avoid trouble, but she had a hard time in Beijing. She was not popular and often took credit for other people's achievements and stepped on others to get to the top. She used to have Lao Cai's support, but after Lao Cai stepped down, she was also targeted.
Later, she became an enemy of Guan Guiling. She could not defeat Guan Guiling, and after being coaxed by her son and daughter-in-law, she gave up her job to her daughter-in-law and went to find her husband with a letter of introduction. However, Jiang Baohong regretted it a little after she went there. The life here was nothing like that in the old city.
Old Cai took his anger out on her because of what happened that year, and he would beat her every now and then.
Jiang Baohong wanted to leave, but she had no money. She wrote to her son but got no response. She could only bear it. After several years, Lao Cai retired this year and they finally came back. She was very excited.
Unable to hold back, she cried out, "Oh my God, I'm finally back!"
The station attendant was getting off the train and heard her shouting. Seeing the couple's excited faces, he kindly said, "Auntie, it's getting late. Go home quickly."
But Jiang Baohong didn't appreciate it and said directly: "Bah, it's none of your business, get out of here, you little bitch."
These words were really rude. The flight attendant's eyes turned red with anger. She said, "How can you talk like that? I mean well, but you are too mean."
Jiang Baohong put her hands on her hips and said, "I can say whatever I want to say. It's none of your business."
"you..."
"Pa!" Before Jiang Baohong could feel proud for long, Lao Cai slapped her in the face and said, "Shut up! You're upset if you don't cause trouble, right?"
When Jiang Baohong saw Lao Cai's expression, he shrank his neck and dared not shout anymore.
The flight attendant wanted to say that hitting people was not right, but when he looked at Jiang Baohong's mean face, he turned around and left. He thought that there must be something hateful about pitiful people, and he deserved it.
Old Cai dragged Jiang Baohong out of the station. The station was deserted in the early morning, and there was not even a tricycle. Old Cai cursed, "How did you book the train ticket? It's unlucky."
Jiang Baohong whispered: "Ordinarily we should have arrived four hours earlier. Isn't this late?"
"You're still stubborn!" He slapped her again and said, "Why did I find a useless woman like you? You're useless and you don't have any ability, but you're causing me trouble. If it weren't for you, would I be in this situation today?"
If it weren't for this woman, he might have been promoted and made a fortune, but his wife would have died.
Jiang Baohong scratched her fingers in grievance and said, "How can I be blamed for this? It's all that vixen's fault..."
Old Cai was about to slap her again, but Jiang Baohong dodged immediately and begged for mercy, saying, "I was wrong, please stop. Let's go to my son's house later. If he sees me, how can I face others?"
"You still know you can't see people? You can't even handle a woman in the city, how dare you see people? You've been cheated and can only come to me in shame, and you can see people?" Old Cai said viciously, "You are useless, get out of here."
He shook Jiang Baohong off and walked towards the old house alone. Jiang Baohong quickly grabbed him and said, "Old Cai, our home is not over there."
She hesitated and said, "In the beginning, you were transferred because of your work style problems. The superiors took back our house. Later, I went to make trouble several times, and they reluctantly replaced us with a younger one..."
Old Cai stood there, trembling all over. After a long while, he said angrily, "Why are you so useless? I divorced you in the hope of keeping the things in my family, but you can't even keep anything. What use are you? And you didn't even tell me! How many things are you hiding from me?"
Jiang Baohong quickly said, "No more, really no more."
Old Cai stared at Jiang Baohong, who shrank her shoulders and said, "I'm not lying to you, I really didn't."
He said in a gloomy voice: "I hope so!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Baohong again, he was even more angry, his eyes were red: "It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. It has been more than ten years, and this time when I come back, I will not forgive that bitch Wang Xiangxiu."
If it weren't for that woman, how could he have ended up like this?
Jiang Baohong whispered: "Let's go home."
The two of them didn't quarrel again this time. As they walked together, Jiang Baohong followed the man and silently thought that her man was capable. He was in such a bad situation because he was deceived by a woman. But if he was given a chance, he would be able to make a comeback soon. He had been doing business in Sijiu City for so many years. Although he had been gone for more than ten years, some of his relationships must still be there. By then, their family would be able to prosper as before.
Those people who looked down on her family in the past will sooner or later be trampled under her feet.
That Guan Guiling, she will never forgive her.
If she were to say who she hated the most in this city, it would undoubtedly be Guan Guiling. Guan Guiling, this bitch, they had obviously joined forces, but Guan Guiling actually plotted against her, causing her to lose a lot of money. All this was Guan Guiling's fault. This time when she came back, she would not forgive her.
Wang Xiangxiu and other people, all of them have to rank behind Guan Guiling. She hates Guan Guiling the most.
Jiang Baohong had been gone for five or six years. When he looked up and looked around, he felt that everything was unfamiliar. What a big change! Jiang Baohong had been gone for four or five years and felt the same way, not to mention that Lao Cai had been gone for more than ten years.
It feels so strange everywhere.
Compared to Jiang Baohong who hated Guan Guiling the most, what he hated the most was always that bitch Wang Xiangxiu, who actually set him up with a honey trap.
If it weren't for her, how could he have left Sijiu City? He might have become a big leader now...
The couple staggered, but their hearts were filled with hatred. After walking for more than an hour, they were exhausted. Old Cai was angry: "How far is it?"
Ever since his career went against the grain, he became irritable and angry. Every time he saw Jiang Baohong, he hated her even more. Although he hated Wang Xiangxiu, he also hated Jiang Baohong. If Jiang Baohong had not fought with Wang Xiangxiu's child, what happened later would not have happened.
So he vented his resentment without hesitation, and beat and kicked people whenever he was not satisfied. Jiang Baohong had a very hard time in these years.
Jiang Baohong listened to the man's angry voice and said, "It's almost there, just ahead."
She pointed to the road and said, "This way."
The two walked for another hour or so. Old Cai stared at Jiang Baohong like a venomous snake, and said coldly: "Is this what you mean by fast?"
Jiang Baohong didn't dare to say anything. She watched the two of them finally arrived at the residential building. It was already dawn at this time. They went upstairs together. Their family lived on the top floor. It was obvious that the exchange house for them would not be much better.
Sure enough, Lao Cai's face darkened again.
Early in the morning, two people knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
It took a long time before someone came out to open the door, looking a bit irritable and his tone was not very good.
Jiang Baohong: “It’s us.”
The footsteps in the house paused for a long time before the door was opened hesitantly. A woman's face opened the door. She looked at the person at the door with a bit of disgust, pursed her lips, and called unwillingly: "Mom and Dad, why are you here?"
Although Jiang Baohong is a coward in front of men, she is not like that in front of her daughter-in-law. She pushed the young woman away and said, "Why are we here? Can't we come? This is my and your father's house, we can come back naturally."
They walked in directly. Seeing that she was wearing clothes and looked like she was doing well, Jiang Baohong got angry and slapped her in the face. "Pa!"
She said angrily, "You little bitch, you knew that we came back today and not only did you not go to pick us up, but you also slept at home. How can you be a daughter-in-law like this? Do you really think that I, as your mother-in-law, can't teach you a lesson after I leave the city?"
The young woman didn't expect that she would be beaten for no reason. She looked up at her mother-in-law in disbelief, then looked at her father-in-law, who was looking at her gloomily, as if he approved of her. She bit her lip and said unconvincedly, "Mom, how come you are like a shrew after leaving the city? You beat people up at will. You are too...ah!"
Before he could finish, he was hit again.
The young woman couldn't help herself and burst into tears, shouting, "Xiao Cai, come out and look at your mother. She hits people as soon as she comes back. Is there any mother-in-law who does this? I've been serving you three in your house. Even if I haven't done anything great, I've worked hard. How dare you treat me like this? I won't stand it, I won't stand it!"
She was not one to remain silent when being bullied. She cried and called for help. At this time, Lao Cai's son finally stood up in his slippers and said, "What are you doing? Are you afraid that others will not know how messy our house is?"
He sat down on the sofa and said, "Why are you back?"
There is really no friendliness at all.
Old Cai was furious: "Can't I come back? This is my home. I haven't seen you for so many years, and this is how you treat me? Why don't you come to pick us up?"
He questioned his son, but Xiao Cai remained calm. He said, "Why should I pick you up? Why did you come back? Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed? If you don't mind being embarrassed, then I am."
"You!" Old Cai was about to hit him, but Jiang Baohong quickly stopped him, "What are you doing? Why are you so angry with your son? You just came back and you're causing such a fuss. How can you say this?"
Xiao Cai stood up. Compared to the Mediterranean old Cai who was short, he was tall and strong. He rushed forward: "Hit me? Come on, hit me! Come on, hit me! Do you think I am afraid of you?"
He said angrily, "You are such a good pair of parents. You couldn't make it in Beijing anymore, so you left like rats, leaving us here to be looked down upon. How dare you come back now? Don't you see how my life has turned out?"
He could have been considered a favored child of heaven, but suddenly he became a pariah, which made him extremely hateful.
Speaking of hatred, his hatred was even deeper than Lao Cai and Jiang Baohong's. He stared at his parents gloomily and said, "If I were you, I would die. What's the point of living in this world? To waste food? To embarrass myself?"
"You, you, you!" Old Cai stuttered: "You, you, how did you become like this?"
"Why can't I be like this? You guys messed up my good life, and this is what I am like."
Because they only have one child, Lao Cai and Jiang Baohong dote on Xiao Cai. However, they never expected that they would raise this son to be a selfish and mean person. However, as parents, they naturally would not think that their son is bad. Lao Cai hated Wang Xiangxiu even more and said, "Wang Xiangxiu, this bitch, has ruined our family's life!"
He scolded angrily.
After saying this, Xiao Cai also revealed some malice and said, "Dad, you fell into a trap back then."
There was no doubt in Old Cai's mind about this; this was the trap set by that bitch.
"I know, I underestimated women."
He thought the woman just wanted to save her son, but he never expected so many things to happen.
"No!"
Xiao Cai said angrily: "I didn't mean what you thought. We fell into a big trap."
Little Cai said viciously, "I'm afraid you don't know who that Wang Xiangxiu is." Without waiting for Old Cai to say more, he immediately said, "Wang Xiangxiu has a cousin named Hu Huihui, and Hu Huihui's man is Deputy Director Zheng who competed with you for the director position. After you were removed, Deputy Director Zheng was promoted. Do you think this is a coincidence? I think this is not a coincidence at all. It is a trap they designed for you, so that you can be thrown into the job of deputy director, can't compete for the director position, and make way for the Zheng family. Dad, you don't know, the Zheng family is doing very well now. So many people have been liquidated, but Director Zheng has not been liquidated. Do you think there is any justice in the world? Now their family is living a good life. Their family has made a lot of money and lives a decent life. Why did our family end up like this?"
Xiao Cai cursed in anger. Although these years have passed for a long time, every time he mentioned them, he was still full of resentment. He felt that his whole body was filled with hatred. He should have lived a good life of wealth and glory.
Old Cai was even more furious when Xiao Cai said this. After hearing this, he pressed his chest and said, "Is everything you said true?"
"Do I need to lie?"
He said angrily, "Of course it's true. I only found out about it later. When you got into trouble, Hu Huihui was even living at Wang Xiangxiu's house. Do you dare to say that there is no connection between the two? Afterwards, they pretended not to know each other and didn't interact much, but did you really think that no one knew about their relationship? I have friends on the street too. Before, Hu Huihui brought a young man with her. I thought she was having an affair outside, but when I asked around, I found out that the man was her nephew, Su Jinlai. Do you still know the name Su Jinlai? It was this little bastard who had a fight with my mother that led to what happened later."
"It turned out to be this little bastard!" Jiang Baohong hated this kid with gnashing teeth.
"It seems like the two families don't have any contact, but in fact they do. It must have been a trap they set for you, Dad!"
When Lao Cai heard this, his face turned black and he felt very uncomfortable. He asked, "Do you know anything about them?"
Xiao Cai: "I know a little bit. It was when we met by chance that I secretly asked more about it. It turns out that Wang Xiangxiu is doing pretty well now. Your three sons are actually doing pretty well. Damn, our family has lost its glory and wealth, but their family is thriving. They are even setting up stalls now, and they say they are making quite a lot of money."
When it comes to "money", Xiao Cai becomes even more annoyed. What he hates most is other people's wealth.
If his father hadn't gotten into trouble, his family would have been so rich.
He said bitterly, "His family should be quite rich now. They all run stalls in their area. Dad, do you still remember Bai Fendou? He was the bastard who ruined your husband Kuaile. He was also from their compound. He married a beautiful wife and lived a good life. They all ran stalls and made money."
This guy is like this. Just now they were squeezing and arguing with each other, but when they talked about their common enemy, they immediately became harmonious. He gritted his teeth and said, "They are all quite rich. I guess they make a lot of money." Lao Cai: "Damn it, damn it, if I were still in power, I could make more than them."
“That’s right.”
This father and son may not look good, but they have good ideas.
"Destroying someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. They and I have an irreconcilable feud."
Jiang Baohong thought of the compound and asked quickly, "Where is Mingmei? There is a girl named Mingmei in that compound, right? She used to work in the same unit as me." Jiang Baohong was deeply jealous of Mingmei. She and Guan Guiling were in agreement on this point. Although Mingmei had no dealings with them, and even had no contact or communication with them, they were very jealous and hated Mingmei.
Because Mingmei lives a good life, Mingmei has the easiest and best life among all the young wives they know, which makes people jealous and they want to teach her a lesson. Why? We are all women. Why don’t your parents favor boys over girls? Why is your husband young, handsome and loyal? Why don’t you lack money and love? Why are your parents-in-law not mean to you?
Why? Why?
Jiang Baohong asked jealously: "Where is she?"
"Mingmei? I don't know! Why should I care about Mingmei or Anmei? It has nothing to do with me. Why would I pay attention to someone I don't know?" Xiao Cai looked at his own mother and thought she was so stupid. It was so shameful to have such a mother. If his mother hadn't been so stupid and fought with a child, nothing would have happened later.
So if we talk about who he complains about the most, he hates his biological mother the most, followed by his biological father.
If this messed up his good life, even his parents would be merciless. He glared at his mother and said, "You only think about those dirty little things between women all day long. You are a waste."
Jiang Baohong was scolded by her son and dared not say a word.
Old Cai looked at her with drooping eyes and thought that this woman was ugly and disgusting. He snorted and said, "She is so useless that she couldn't even deal with that bitch Guan Guiling and left the city in disgrace."
Jiang Baohong then quickly asked: "Son, you said you would help me teach Guan Guiling a lesson..."
Xiao Cai: "The day you left, I found a few friends on the street, beat her up, stripped her naked and threw her on the street. It was a big loss."
As soon as he said this, Jiang Baohong's eyes lit up immediately and she said happily, "That's great! I let this woman betray me and blackmail me. She deserves it! She really deserves it! This bitch has finally gotten what she deserves. Her man doesn't want her anymore, right?"
Xiao Cai: "No, I took her back and comforted her in a gentle manner."
"What!"
Jiang Baohong looked at her son in disbelief. Guan Guiling was like this, how could her man still want her?
Xiao Cai was impatient: "Her man relies on her to make money, so he will naturally not abandon her. However, Guan Guiling is also a celebrity. She is crazy."
He didn't specifically ask for information about Guan Guiling. He wasn't interested in the feud between Guan Guiling and his mother. Such dirty talk between old women was really useless. He didn't even want to hear about it.
But who made Guan Guiling so famous? It is not easy for a woman to be so famous these days. Generally speaking, the most widely circulated news is about sex scandals, but Guan Guiling is not like that. She became famous by supporting her man through fraud.
Not only that, this man tried to dump her when she was no longer able to do so, leaving the mess to her, which eventually drove Guan Guiling crazy.
"Guan Guiling's husband stole some money and planned to elope with another woman with their child. When he was escaping, he was accidentally pushed to death. Guan Guiling happened to see the scene and went crazy on the spot."
"What!!!"
They were totally confused now.
Jiang Baohong never expected that after only being away from Beijing for a few years, his old rival Guan Guiling had gone crazy?
She suddenly burst into laughter, her laughter was very rampant, and she said: "Retribution, it is really retribution, I said her man could not love a woman like her so deeply, good, great. I let her go against me, this is the result of going against me."
She sat down and said, "Tell me what happened?"
Xiao Cai didn't care much about this, but this incident was so bizarre that it spread all over the city. After all, it was unbelievable that someone could die from falling from such a short staircase. Many people thought it was retribution, so naturally the news spread further.
No matter when, this hot topic with metaphysics is always of concern to people.
The three of them started talking, and they were really excited.
The young woman next to her, Xiao Cai's daughter-in-law Zhang Lanhua, looked at the family's faces and curled her lips. She looked up and saw her two sons rubbing their eyes. She immediately said, "Go back to sleep. You have to go to school later. Sleep a little longer."
I really don't want my two children to have anything to do with this old couple. They are such rubbish.
Fortunately, these people were immersed in the past and didn't pay any attention to her. Zhang Lanhua went back to the room and closed the door. None of them had anything to do with her. It was really terrible.
Mr. Cai's family of three had no idea what their daughter-in-law was thinking and were still talking about it.
"It's great that Guan Guiling got her comeuppance. I can't wait to see what she looks like now." Jiang Baohong was very proud. It was so satisfying.
Old Cai: "You are relieved, what about me? A gentleman's revenge is never too late. When I left Sijiu City, I said that one day, I would take back everything I lost. Whether it was Wang Xiangxiu or Bai Fendou, they schemed against me back then, and I will not forgive them this time."
After a pause, he said, "And Lao Zheng, he set me up for the position of director. When he comes back this time, I will definitely kill him."
He said gloomily: "It is hard to relieve the hatred in my heart unless these people die."
Maybe many people think that he has been doing well these years, he is still a section chief, but in his heart, this is a shame, bah, a section chief in a small county is nothing. What he wants is huge wealth and glory, he wants to confiscate the property, he wants to take the calligraphy and paintings, antiques, gold and silver jewelry of those capitalists, he wants these.
He wants to rise to prominence and hold a high position with a generous salary.
A section chief in a small county, he had been frustrated for so many years. No one in the small county took him seriously. The more he thought about it, the more he became. If he still had some enthusiasm in his heart when he left, he thought he could do it. He would come back one day, even if he went to a small place, he could be transferred back quickly. But after he arrived angry, he was not taken seriously, which broke his high opinion of himself. He could only be in an idle position, with nothing, and he was not allowed to get involved in anything.
He also lost the joy of being a man and couldn't find any fun.
Over the past decade, he has not experienced any disturbances, but his psychology has become dark and distorted.
"I came back this time to seek revenge on them."
Xiao Cai's eyes lit up and he said, "Do you have this idea?"
Old Cai nodded.
Xiao Cai hesitated for a moment and said, "Dad, to be honest, I can't stay in this city any longer. Many people know that I am your son. They say they are my friends, but they look down on me. My life is not going well."
He didn't even have a formal job. He had one before, but he was lazy and didn't work hard. People didn't dare to do anything to him because his father was the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee. But after Old Cai was fired, he still did his own thing, so he was naturally fired.
Now he lives on odd jobs. His wife has taken over his mother's job, but they have children to raise, so she doesn't give him a cent of her salary. He doesn't even have enough money for food, drink and entertainment.
He said, "Why don't we make some money and go abroad? I heard that there is gold everywhere abroad. Just that machinery factory, the factory where Wang Xiangxiu worked, a young woman ran away while we were on an overseas inspection trip, and it caused a big commotion."
Lao Cai: “Ah?”
Xiao Cai: "We also get some money and then leave? As long as we have money, we can escape anyway. What do you think?"
Lao Cai: "Going abroad?"
Xiao Cai was very excited: "Yes, if a woman can run, why can't we?"
Lao Cai: "How do you get money?"
The two of them hit it off very quickly. Xiao Cai was almost drooling as he said, "In Wang Xiangxiu's compound, everyone in that compound runs a stall. They are all very rich. And Hu Huihui, she even rides in a car when she goes out. How can we just ignore it..."
"Yes! They are living a good life now, and this should all be ours."
"right."
The father and son quickly reached an agreement.
Xiao Cai was no longer as resentful as he was at the beginning, and said, "Dad, just stay here. During this time, we will make some plans."
"Of course."
Jiang Baohong: "And me, I'll go with you."
Xiao Cai nodded: "Okay. Mom, help us keep an eye on them first and find out about these people, and then we'll consider further steps."
"good."
He called out, "Wife, wife, pack up mom and dad's things. They want to stay here."
Zhang Lanhua came out and frowned and asked, "We only have two rooms. Where will my parents live? How can we live comfortably?"
Xiao Cai cursed: "You spendthrift daughter-in-law, why can't we live in a bigger house? Can't we just make do? These are my parents, are you going to let them live under a bridge? Is there any daughter-in-law like you?"
"I don't agree. Your parents can't live here. How can we have enough space? Besides, look at them. They are dirty and smelly. They are not good people. I am afraid that they will teach my son bad things."
"Bang!"
A slap was given to her in the face. Sometimes, violence is hereditary.
Xiao Cai glared at him and said viciously, "If you can live here, then live here. If you can't, then get out. How could I take you seriously? When you lived with my family and had good food and drinks, you didn't say anything bad about my parents. But now you say that my parents are bad. I'll beat you to death, you unfilial thing!"
Jiang Baohong: "Yes, beat her! Beat him to death!"
She was very happy standing aside. She also disliked this daughter-in-law. She was not respectful to her at all. She was a damned person.
"This kind of woman really needs to be taught a lesson."
Encouraged by the two old men, Xiao Cai became even more rude and started punching them.
"Don't hit my mother, don't hit my mother!"
The two sons are already in their teens and know what is good and what is bad. They naturally side with their biological mother. Their father is a jerk who does nothing but eat, drink, play and cause trouble. Their mother takes care of the family, so the two children are closer to their mother.
"Don't hit my mom."
Xiao Cai pointed at their noses and yelled, "Get lost! I'm your father. If you have any objections, get lost with your worthless mother. I'm not serving you anymore. Don't live in my house! Let's see who will want you!"
He smiled coldly, threateningly.
Zhang Lanhua was beaten black and blue. She struggled to get up and said, "Let's go. Big brother and second brother, pack your things. Mom will take you to grandma's house."
Although her family wasn't a powerful one, they wouldn't just stand by and watch their daughter get beaten.
"Mom~"
Zhang Lanhua: "Let's go!"
She was exceptionally determined and her eyes were sharp.
"good!"
Early in the morning, the two mothers packed their luggage and left, leaving no one behind.
Zhang Lanhua quickly led her two children out. She got married early, and her eldest son was already fourteen years old and very sensible. He said, "Mom, we are leaving like this. Dad won't let us come back."
He was a little worried.
At the same time, he also felt a little resentful that his grandparents were always causing trouble when they came back. Forget about the feelings. When his grandpa left, he didn't remember anything. He was only one or two years old at that time. He had never seen him again, so naturally he had no feelings for him.
As for his grandmother, he could remember that for several years, she always found fault with his mother. Between his grandmother and his biological mother, any normal person would choose the latter, but he was one of them. And every time it was Jiang Baohong who caused trouble, so he couldn't stand his grandmother.
His younger brother is only eight years old, so it is even more so. Not to mention his grandfather, he doesn't even have a deep impression of his grandmother.
The two of them naturally followed their mother, but the eldest child was a little worried and said, "Mom, it's not good for us to leave, right?"
Zhang Lanhua was firm: "We have to go. If we don't, we will be implicated by your father and his people and that will be the end of us."
Although she didn't hear clearly, she did hear a little bit. It seemed that these people didn't plan to do anything good. She said: "These people probably don't have any good intentions. We should stay away from them, otherwise we will be unlucky. I think I have seen through your father. He is a piece of shit. He only takes his anger out on his wife and children. He won't bring a penny home. Now that your grandparents are back, he will definitely be more arrogant. Who knows what he will do. We can't be implicated. Let's just leave. It's better than being stuck with him."
The reason why she was rude just now was that she wanted to quarrel and leave, but she didn't expect Xiao Cai to actually take action. She sneered and felt that she had not misjudged this man at all. This man was a piece of trash.
The mother and her two children went out with their bags and met a neighbor who had gotten up early. When he saw her like this, he was shocked and asked, "Oh, what's wrong with you?"
Then I saw that the three of them were carrying things and asked, "Where are you going?"
Zhang Lanhua: "The child's grandparents came back from another place, and there was no room for them at home, so the child's father kicked us out... Oh no, I was thinking that since there was no room for them, I should take them back to my mother's house to live for a while."
As soon as she said this, people understood: "Why is this person like this? Even if he wants you to go back to your parents' home, you can't hit me..."
After a pause, he exclaimed, "Jiang Baohong is back?"
Zhang Lanhua smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, the old couple are back. I can't afford to offend these three. Forget it, I'll go back, and I'll get beaten less."
"This is ridiculous. How can this happen? If he hits you again, go find the Women's Federation. How can this happen..."
Zhang Lanhua shook her head: "No, if I go, he will beat me even harder next time. Besides, if I don't leave, he will accuse me of being unfilial, and I will be helpless."
She is not a stupid woman and she knows the importance of public opinion. What's more, what she said is true.
She said, "I'm leaving."
"Why are you still bringing your child..."
"My dad told us to leave together." The eldest son of his family spoke directly.
The neighbor was shocked by this. They had seen selfish people before, but they had never seen such a selfish person. However, it was normal for Xiao Cai to not care about the children and only care about himself. The neighbor lady shook her head silently after hearing this, while Zhang Lanhua led her two sons away.
The old lady looked at their backs and quickly went to find her old sister: "This is something that needs to be said. Jiang Baohong and his wife are actually back. They kicked their daughter-in-law out of the house right after they came back. They are quite good at it."
Zhang Lanhua, her mother and her son were all kicked out. Jiang Baohong was a little hesitant and said, "Just kick Zhang Lanhua out. Why did you kick out her grandson too?"
She still attaches great importance to her grandson.
This is the root of the family.
Xiao Cai waved his hands calmly and said, "When I have money, I can find any woman I want. As long as I have a woman, I can have as many children as I want."
He still didn't care. He said: "I am just like this. If I am poor, I will take care of myself. If I am rich, I will have many wives and concubines."
Jiang Baohong laughed: "This is what a wealthy family does."
Xiao Cai: "If Dad hadn't been in trouble, we would certainly be considered a wealthy family."
"That's true."
The family feels pretty good about themselves.
Xiao Cai: "It just so happens that this woman and her children are still affecting our work, so why not drive them away? Even if I really get the money, I don't plan to take them away. Why waste the money? At worst, I can marry again. It's a waste of food to take them with me. I'll find some helpers and see what to do."
"Okay! It's settled."
The family discussed it and all showed greedy faces.
Although they really wanted revenge, they were even more excited when they thought about making money from it.
"Are they really rich?" Jiang Baohong pursed her lips and confirmed again: "Are you sure?"
Xiao Cai looked at his biological mother with disgust, thinking that this woman was extremely stupid. If it wasn't necessary, he would never be polite to her. Zhang Lanhua would not listen to him, but his biological mother would.
He said impatiently: "Of course I'm not wrong, their stalls are quite famous."
He said: "How can these stalls not make money? If they didn't make money, would they still keep doing it? They would have been quiet a long time ago."
"you're right."
Jiang Baohong is ready to go.
Old Cai, on the other hand, chuckled and said viciously, "Let them make money. The more they make, the more money they can save for us. Whether it's Hu Huihui, Wang Xiangxiu or Bai Fendou, I won't let any of them go."
"Everyone in their area is rich. If we really want to make money, we might as well do something big." Xiao Cai spoke up. He had wanted to make money for a long time, but he couldn't do much by himself. But now that his father is back, he suddenly has two more reliable helpers, so he is naturally tempted.
Old Cai said without hesitation: "As long as you have money, you can do it! Damn it, if these people were left a few years ago, their property would have been confiscated. They are all taking the capitalist route. Good working people actually want to be capitalists. They should be dragged out and criticized, and all their property should be handed over!"
Jiang Baohong nodded: "That's right, they are all nonsense. With so much money, we should help those of us who have been wronged."
The whole family started to mutter resentfully again.
Early in the morning, every household got up to wash up. Although each household now has its own faucet, everyone is still used to washing up in the sink in the yard. This is a habit that has been developed over the years. Zhuang Zhixi got up refreshed, not tired at all like yesterday.
He was standing in front of the sink brushing his teeth and saw Jin Lai with dark circles under his eyes. He said, "What did you do last night? You have such big dark circles under your eyes."
He only slept for three or four hours that night and this wasn't the case.
Su Jinzi started working and went to and from get off work on time every day. Although he sometimes felt a little eager to make a lot of money, he also felt that everyone had high hopes for him and he couldn't lose face.
After a while, I managed to stick with it.
Maybe because he didn't act up, people in the yard would greet him now.
Su Jinlai rubbed his face. The cold water hit his face. He wiped it off and said, "I had a nightmare."
Zhuang Zhixi raised his eyebrows: "Did you have a nightmare and couldn't fall asleep?"
Su Jinlai said with lingering fear: "I dreamed that several poisonous snakes were chasing me and I couldn't wake up. I didn't feel well in the morning. It was like I fell into a devil's den."
Zhuang Zhixi joked: "Then you have to go and pay your respects to Aunt Lian?"
Su Jinlai pursed his lips, moved closer to Zhuang Zhixi, and whispered, "Aunt Lian is a big liar. I told her before that I had bad luck and asked her to take a look at it for me. Just because I didn't give her money, she said that I was not virtuous and could not get better."
Zhuang Zhixi: “Puff!”
Su Jinlai felt particularly aggrieved: "How am I so bad? I didn't have any money at that time. If I had money, I would never not pay. Really, I can't even buy on credit. I must be wrong."
Zhuang Zhixi looked at Su Jinlai with a speechless look. Although this guy is working properly now, he can still show some weirdness occasionally.
Fortunately, this guy is a bit timid and can be fooled by anything. If you coax him to be motivated, he will really think that he is a motivated person and will work hard. There are not many people who are so easy to fool.
He smiled and said, "Dreams are always the opposite."
Su Jinlai nodded: "I think so too."
He snorted and said, "I'm not afraid of that thing, I just feel disgusted."
Forcibly save respect.
"Yeah, I know." Zhuang Zhixi agreed, and Su Jinlai immediately smiled. After taking a shower, he went home happily. Bai Fendou watched the whole process and finally couldn't stand it anymore and said, "This kid doesn't seem to have any brains, does he?"
Zhuang Zhixi raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't this good?"
He went home carrying the teacup.
Bai Fendou was washing his face when he saw a little kid coming over with a basin and calling out, "Hello, Uncle Bai."
Bai Fendou turned around and said, "Erlin, why are you carrying something here?"
Erlin said crisply: "I'll deliver breakfast."
He shouted at the top of his voice: "Grandma Zhao, Grandma Zhou, Grandma Wang, your breakfast is here."
Zhao Guihua came out of the house and said, "Hey, Erlin is here. You are really capable."
After a year of hard work, Erlin had become familiar with everyone on this street. He said with a smile, "Grandma Zhao, I'll bring you breakfast."
Zhao Guihua: "Give it to me."
Yu Xiaomei and his wife set up a stall in front of the hospital, and their business was good. They didn't open the stall in the morning, but they also started to accept some breakfast orders. If anyone wanted to eat burritos, they could let them know in advance and they would deliver the food in the morning.
Sometimes when Zhao Guihua and her friends don't want to make breakfast, they will order it. Eating soy milk and fried dough sticks every day is also very greasy, so it's just right to change the taste. Zhao Guihua has bought it several times. It's not the taste of Sijiucheng, but the pancake is very chewy and delicious.
She was the first one to start buying, and later Aunt Zhou also started, and now even Aunt Wang is not shy about it. Although there are several cooks at home, it doesn't mean that she doesn't want to try new flavors from outside.
Because of this, Chef Li was very worried and felt that his status as a chef was challenged, but Aunt Wang didn't care about that.
She was originally the head of the family, and now that she can earn money and control the family finances, naturally she has the final say.
So, among this couple, whoever earns more money will have the louder voice at home.
Everyone took their own breakfast, and He Lan came out: "I want three pancakes too."
Bai Fendou leaned over and looked at it, saying, "Why are there still five of them?"
The crispy and yellow outer layer, with bean sprouts and eggs inside, looks delicious and mouth-watering.
Erlin: "This was ordered by Aunt Wang from the yard next door."
He took the money, stuffed it into the small bag he was carrying, and said loudly, "Thank you for your patronage."
Da da da, go to the yard next door.
Bai Fendou: "Hey, don't underestimate this kid, he's quite capable."
Zhuang Zhixi came out to eat in his mother's room and nodded, saying, "That's not the case. This little guy is well taught."
You see, Aunt Yu and her husband are a bit like that, but their daughter Yu Xiaomei is not like them, and their grandson and granddaughter are even less like them. Xing'er and Erlin are both very sensible, probably because they lived in poverty in the past, and both children are very capable of sharing the burden of the family.
Erlin has been recuperating since he had surgery at the end of last year. He has not yet gone to kindergarten, but he is very keen to help with things at home, such as delivering meals to each household in the morning, and he does a good job.
The child received the money and happily carried the basin home. After returning home, he filled the basin with rice and gave away another batch.
It's not just Zhao Guihua who orders food, there are many other people who also order food. People make more money, so they are willing to spend money on food and drink. They didn't want to spend money before, it was because they were poor. Erlin made three deliveries early in the morning and paid the money when he came back, not a penny less.
In fact, Yu Xiaomei didn't need her son to work, but the child wanted to do something, so she didn't stop him. She remembered what the doctor said, that she didn't need to treat him too much like a patient, but she did need to be careful, but too much is as bad as too little. Sometimes treating him too much like a patient would put pressure on the child.
Although I had the surgery, I still want to have a good rest and let my child relax.
So Yu Xiaomei didn't mind Erlin's help.
She said: "Erlin is awesome, the money is not wrong."
Erlin immediately became happy. He climbed onto the kang and saw his sister had already put on her schoolbag. He asked, "Mom, when do I go to school?"
Yu Xiaomei: "Next summer, next summer when you are six years old, you can go to kindergarten."
Erlin raised the corners of his mouth happily and said, "So easy to mess with."
Xing'er was holding a cake, eating it with big mouthfuls, and said, "Don't worry, brother. When you go to school, you won't have as many holidays as before."
She is now a second-grade elementary school student. She is different from before. Her face is plumper and she has a curly haircut. The small scars from her previous injuries are no longer visible. She is now a lovely little girl.
No one could have imagined that this little girl was the injured beggar from last year.
She ate a few bites, took the cake and went out, saying crisply: "Mom, I'm going to school."
Yu Xiaomei: "Go ahead, be careful on the road."
"I know."
She quickly came to the yard of No. 44 and called out, "Qingqing! Tuantuan Yuanyuan!"
Bai Qingqing poked her head out: "Right away."
The children came out one after another with their schoolbags on their backs. They all had the same breakfast. They quickly gathered together. About ten children went to school together with their small schoolbags on their backs. They looked very united.
Along the way, the children chattered, Yuanyuan said in a clear voice: "Did you watch TV last night? The one with Erhua."
Qi Jin: "I took a look."
Yuanyuan said proudly: "My father is a screenwriter."
She already knew what a screenwriter was, and this story was written by her father.
Qi Jin was also proud: "I know, my grandma said that some of the things in this book were told to Uncle Xiao Zhuang by her."
"I know, I know, I know too. They met bad guys when they were getting goods together last year, and then they wanted to write it down to warn others." Bai Qingqing also joined in.
Everyone seemed to understand. Although not every household has a TV now, those who do have one usually have a lot of people watching. Even Xing Er said, "I also watched a little from my neighbor's window."
Qi Jin said: "You can come to my house to watch it today. I have a TV at home. Si Yuan and the others are watching it at my house."
Yuanyuan also said quickly: "My family is going to buy a TV too. I heard my parents say yesterday that they are going to buy a TV today, and we won't go to Grandpa's house to watch TV anymore. Dad said he wants to buy a big one, hehe. You guys come to my house."
"Ah. That's great."
"That's right." Yuanyuan puffed out her chest proudly.
Li Zhenzhen: "Ah, you are all going to buy a TV, but my parents haven't said they want to buy one yet."
Yuanyuan held Li Zhenzhen's arm and said, "Come to my house and see that my parents don't care about children and they're not very fierce."
"Isn't your mother fierce?"
Yuanyuan blinked and said, "Yes, but not that fierce. There are some things my mother doesn't really care about."
"Yes, that's right."
Tuantuan: "Did you finish watching it yesterday? I didn't finish watching it yesterday."
"We haven't finished watching it yet. Mom said we have to go to school today and she doesn't allow us to watch it too late."
"Me too!"
“Me too!”
The children started clamoring, and they were all very worried, saying that their parents were too nosy even though they could obviously finish watching the movie.
Li Zhenzhen: "My mom said that if I don't go to bed by nine o'clock, she will spank me."
She said worriedly: "I am already a big girl of thirteen years old."
Li Zhenzhen is one year older than the others, but this one year older puts her at a disadvantage because her birthday is earlier, as she was born in the twelfth lunar month, and is only about ten days older than Tuantuan and Yuanyuan. However, the age difference is a big one.
But she still calls herself a big sister and says sadly, "I'm already thirteen years old, and my parents still talk about spanking."
Yuanyuan was very calm. She said, "My parents said that even if I am 30, they can still beat me if I don't obey. We are children, so there is nothing we can do."
Li Zhenzhen sighed and said, "Then I'm in a hurry to get married so that I can beat my own child."
Others: “…”
You are really promising.
Li Zhenzhen: “You’re kidding.”
"hehe."
They walked together, but they were not very obedient and were kicking small stones.
Xiao Sitian said: "The TV series is good, but there seem to be so many bad guys."
When talking about the plot, the children started talking again, and they were all very touched. They said, "It turns out that adults can easily meet bad people. We children have to be more careful. If we meet someone who doesn't look normal, we have to be alert."
“Yes, yes, yes.”
"Boys are more likely to meet bad people when they are young, and girls are more likely to meet bad people when they grow up." Tuan Tuan understood very well: "Some people just want to kidnap women because they can't afford to marry. It's the worst."
"Our teacher also told us not to follow strangers."
"I know that, too."
“You saw it.”
Xing Er nodded seriously: "I saw it."
She said: "She was a very kind old lady, you couldn't tell from her appearance. But I don't know if it was because she was beaten, but I felt her eyes were full of malice. Eyes are the windows to the soul, we should look at the eyes."
"I don't think it's entirely true. Sometimes eyes can be deceiving. We all need to be vigilant anyway."
"You're right. Being vigilant is better than anything else."
"We're together, so we're not afraid."
"In fact, we also had beggars come to our area, but we were still young at that time and didn't know anything about it. But the older brothers in the yard saw it, and many of them tried to catch the bad guys, and finally beat them up and sent them to the police station."
"What do you think we should do when we meet a bad guy?" Bai Qingqing asked.
Children's topics are so free. Although the bad guys are far away, it doesn't stop the children from discussing it.
Tuan Tuan: "First we need to ask adults for help, because no matter what, adults are more useful than us. But at the critical moment, we must unite all the forces we can. We are just children, and we will be at a disadvantage if we confront adults head-on."
Yuanyuan: "Yes, it's all shown on TV. When things don't work, you have to pretend to be submissive first, and then you hit the target with one strike."
Xiao Qijin: "If there is a bad guy, kill him!"
"Yes! Let's work together." Ye Sijia waved his fist.
Everyone arrived at the school with a lot of chatter, and walked into the school gate one by one...
If you really meet a bad guy.
They will definitely work together! (End of this chapter)
