56 Kick the Bad Dad Away
◎…◎
"I found this first, give it back to me!"
Seeing that Iketani Ai got the iron box before her, Iketani Yu screamed in anger.
After screaming, he rushed over to grab it.
But she was still holding her urine, and her movements were not very agile, so Iketani Ai easily avoided her.
Iketani Ai ignored her completely and just stared at the iron box in her hand with a serious expression.
When she saw the carvings on the back of the iron box, Iketani Ai felt that the iron box was inexplicably familiar.
Thinking back, I suddenly dug out from my previous life's memory that I had seen this iron box when I was very young.
The person who showed her the iron box at that time was her biological mother Liao Xiangyun.
At that time, Liao Xiangyun had not yet passed away. One day, when she was cleaning the house, she found this iron box from a hidden place. Her predecessor happened to be in the house, so she pulled her aside to explain everything.
She said that the things inside were passed down from her mother's family, and would be given to her as a dowry when she grew up.
She also asked her predecessor not to tell anyone else after she left. These other people naturally referred to her grandmother Li Zaohua and her father Chi Jianjun.
Liao Xiangyun had already seen through her mother-in-law Li Zaohua's true colors by then, and was very annoyed by her constant taking advantage of her.
Once Li Zaohua knew that Liao Xiangyun was hiding things after marrying into the Chi family, she would definitely make a fuss.
At that time, the situation outside was very tense. If those people heard any movement and came to investigate, it would be a big trouble.
As for asking her to take out things from her parents' home and let her mother-in-law Li Zaohua take advantage of it, that was even more impossible.
It’s also simple to not let my daughter tell Chi Jianjun.
Since giving birth to a daughter, Liao Xiangyun has not been able to get pregnant again for several years. Chi Jianjun, who wants a son, has been dissatisfied with her.
He felt that it was because she took her work too seriously and devoted herself to it that she had no time to give him a son.
At that time, the couple was already experiencing the seven-year itch, and with Li Zaohua stirring up trouble, their relationship was not as good as before.
If Liao Xiangyun had not been so strong and had better connections in the factory than Chi Jianjun, Chi Jianjun and his mother might have been in charge of the family.
My previous life also disliked Grandma Li Zaohua, and I nodded repeatedly after listening to my mother's advice.
At that time, she had a good relationship with her biological father Chi Jianjun.
However, Chi Jianjun often had to work night shifts at the factory, and the father and daughter's schedules did not match, so she rarely saw him.
After receiving repeated warnings from her mother, she did not tell Chi Jianjun.
My predecessor was still young at the time, and a lot of things happened later, so I forgot about the iron box.
Unexpectedly, the iron box left by Liao Xiangyun fell into the hands of Chi Jianjun.
She should have thought of it earlier.
The house was so small at that time, and after Liao Xiangyun passed away, Chi Jianjun had to clean up the house and clear out Liao Xiangyun's belongings.
The place where Liao Xiangyun hid things was in their bedroom, and it was not very hidden, so it was not surprising that Chi Jianjun found the iron box.
Iketani Ai recalled carefully again and suddenly remembered something.
No wonder. When her biological mother Liao Xiangyun just passed away, Chi Jianjun, who originally loved her very much, looked at her with a strange look in his eyes for a few days.
It was a look that was mixed with guilt and anger.
It must be Chi Jianjun who discovered this iron box and saw the good things in the box. He thought that Liao Xiangyun was not on the same page with him and was hiding the good things from him.
As for feeling guilty? That's also easy to understand.
Chi Jianjun, who discovered the iron box, had no intention of telling Chi Gu Ai, nor did he plan to give the thing to Chi Gu Ai in the future.
Perhaps Chi Jianjun had the idea of giving the iron box to Chi Guyai at first, but after he remarried and had a son, he completely gave up the idea.
Otherwise, Chi Gu Ai is so old now, and she has never heard Chi Jianjun mention the iron box.
If she hadn't happened to go back to the old house to visit Liao Xiangyun's grave today, and there hadn't been a strong wind all night that accidentally exposed the iron box buried under the tree, she really wouldn't have remembered this.
Ikegani Ai immediately decided that when she went to the ancestral grave, she must burn more paper money for Liao Xiangyun.
Maybe it was Liao Xiangyun's spirit in heaven that allowed her to discover the iron box hidden by Chi Jianjun!
"Give it back to me! Give it back to me! I found it first!"
Chi Guyu next to him was still jumping and making a fuss, not even caring about the urine he was holding.
Chi Guyu's mind and eyes were filled with the newly unearthed iron box, and he wanted to snatch it away.
If there really is a treasure in the box, then she will have enough money to travel to Hong Kong City.
If the item is very valuable, when she goes to Hong Kong City, she will have enough money to get a household registration and will not have to live in the slums in poverty.
So, she had to get this iron box.
But she was no match for Iketani Ai under normal circumstances, and now that she was holding her urine, she was even less of a match.
Iketani Ai pushed away Iketani Yu who was rushing towards her and held the iron box tightly in her hand.
"The one you found first is yours? This iron box is clearly my mother's relic. There's a word 'Liao' written on the back of the box. It's my mother's Liao!"
As he said this, he showed the back of the iron box to Chi Guyu.
Sure enough, Chi Guyu saw the engraving on the back of the iron box at a glance.
Although the marks were made with a knife and were covered in rust, the writing was still clearly visible.
It’s exactly the character Liao in Liao Xiangyun’s name!
Chi Guyu's heart sank, and a strong sense of unwillingness suddenly rose up.
"Even if the word 'Liao' is written on the box, so what? Just because the word 'Liao' is written on the box, does it mean it must be your mother's?"
"Maybe only the box belongs to your mother, but the things inside don't belong to her. It must be that our father had no other box to put the things in, so he used this box."
So no matter what, she couldn't give up the things inside.
Even if I can't get all of it, Iketani Ai must have a share and give her half.
Knowing that he really couldn't compete with Ikegami Ai, Ikegami Yu immediately decided to give in and split the property in half with Ikegami Ai.
At this time, Chi Guyu had not thought about telling Chi Jianjun.
She was worried that if she told Chi Jianjun, she would not even have the chance to get half.
Her father hid the things so carefully and didn't tell anyone. He must have decided to leave them all to his only son.
How can this be? I am his child too. He can't be so partial to me.
After she coaxed Chi Guyai into splitting the item with her in half and got it in her hands, she slipped a note to Chi Jianjun.
Then, she immediately ran away to Hong Kong City.
When the time comes, if Chi Jianjun wants something, he can only ask Chi Guyai.
Chi Guyu's eyes rolled and his attitude immediately became much better. He began to discuss the division of the spoils with Chi Gu Ai in a good tone.
Could Iketani Ai care about her? Of course not.
This iron box was left by Liao Xiangyun to her predecessor, and now it belongs to her. What does it have to do with Chi Guyu!
"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell Dad? If Dad finds out, you won't get anything."
"If you share it with me now, at least you can still get half."
Seeing that Iketani Ai had no intention of breaking up with her at all, Iketani Yu became furious and threatened.
Ikegani Ai is not threatened by Ikegani Yu at all.
Even if Chi Guyu told Chi Jianjun, it would matter. These were her mother's things, and the one who should feel guilty was Chi Jianjun who hid them.
She is right, what is she afraid of!
It's not the past few years now. Even if outsiders know that Liao Xiangyun's family background is extraordinary and that she has passed down many good things, they can't do anything to her.
She is not afraid of outsiders, let alone Chi Jianjun, the scumbag father who secretly hid the heirloom of his first wife!
Putting the iron box in her arms, Chi Gu Ai returned to the west wing and prepared to pack up the offerings to visit Liao Xiangyun's grave.
Looking at the tightly closed door of the west wing, Chi Guyu, who was locked outside, was angry and anxious.
But she really couldn't hold her urination any longer, and not wanting to pee in her pants, Chi Guyu could only run to the toilet in a panic.
I plan to have a good talk with Iketani Ai after I am released.
In the house, Iketani Ai put away the sacrificial offerings and paper money, then started fiddling with the iron box.
The iron box is neither too big nor too small.
After shaking it gently, the sound of gold, silver and jade colliding could be heard from inside.
Afraid of breaking the things inside, Iketani Ai stopped immediately and tried to find a way to unlock it.
Not knowing whether the key was with Chi Jianjun, Chi Gu Ai, who was unable to open the door normally, simply decided to open and lock it violently.
Although the iron box has a brass lock, the lock nose is made of iron.
It has been buried underground for many years and is now very rusty.
Ai Iketani pulled hard and even the lock on his nose was pulled off.
Throwing the removed brass lock aside, Iketani Ai opened the box.
I found that the box contained not only a lot of jewelry, a dozen or so small yellow croakers, but also a title deed to a house in the capital.
The house is a quadrangle courtyard, and was the old residence of the Liao family.
During the war, Liao Xiangyun's biological father hurriedly packed up his gold, silver and treasures and ran away with his favorite concubine and her son, without having time to deal with the old house.
At that time, Liao Xiangyun was only in her teens and still a little girl.
Seeing that her biological father had abandoned her and ran away with her biological mother, and there was a war raging outside, she did not dare to delay.
After packing up his remaining belongings and taking the deed to the old house, he fled with his mother, who was at a loss.
Liao's mother, who had bound feet, was abandoned by her husband. She was already sad and depressed, and then she was exhausted from the long journey to escape, and soon fell ill.
Liao Xiangyun, who buried her mother, knew that she was carrying valuables on her body and would definitely be robbed if she was discovered.
She was just a little girl in her teens, she couldn't win the fight, and she might even lose her life.
So he simply buried the iron box containing the treasure next to his mother's grave.
I plan to come back and get it when the world gets better.
Then, after fleeing for more than half a month, Liao Xiangyun came across a revolutionary team and joined them.
After two years of traveling around with the team, the new country was finally established.
Liao Xiangyun, who had just reached adulthood at that time, stayed in the army for more than two years until the end of the Korean War. She was transferred to logistics after suffering many injuries.
Later, Lingcheng County, located near the base, was going to set up a state-owned textile factory, and Liao Xiangyun was arranged by the organization to go there and become a cadre of the textile factory.
It was also here that Liao Xiangyun met Chi Jianjun, who had also retired from the army, and started a family.
The two of them had a daughter together, Iketani Ai.
When Iketani Ai was four years old, Liao Xiangyun was on a business trip and passed by the place where her mother was buried.
He found an opportunity to take out the iron box that had been buried and moved his mother's grave.
At that time, her relationship with Li Zaohua, her mother-in-law, was already in dire straits. Because she had not given birth to a son, her relationship with her husband Chi Jianjun gradually cooled.
Liao Xiangyun, who did not trust Chi Jianjun, did not tell Chi Jianjun about the existence of the iron box. She only told her young daughter a few words, but did not explain in detail.
At that time, Liao Xiangyun didn't expect that she would soon have an accident.
He did not have time to wait for his daughter to grow up and pass on the things in the iron box to her, as he died in a fire while trying to save public property.
Not long after her death, Chi Jianjun found the iron box she had hidden in the corner of her bedroom.
Everything inside fell into Chi Jianjun's hands.
If it weren't for this coincidence, Iketani Ai would not have even remembered the existence of this iron box.
Looking at the land deed and the diary written by Liao Xiangyun that recorded her past, Iketani Ai felt complicated.
To be honest, she is not Liao Xiangyun's real daughter.
Now that she had gotten so many good things for free, she didn't know what to do with them for a moment.
No matter how it is dealt with, Chi Jianjun, the scumbag father, must not get away with it.
Chi Jianjun buried the iron box under a tree in the old house without telling his predecessor a word, which showed that he was determined to steal the thing.
After putting the diary and the house deed back into the iron box and rearranging them, Iketani Ai put the box and the contents into the bag she brought.
Carrying a bag and a bag filled with paper money and offerings, Iketani Ai left the old house and headed towards the ancestral grave.
After releasing the water in his stomach, Chi Guyu couldn't help but have a big bowel movement and finally came out of the toilet.
I returned to the yard without stopping and saw that the door of the west wing was wide open.
And Iketani Ai, who was in the house, had disappeared at this moment.
Thinking that Iketani Ai had gotten something good and couldn't wait to run away with the iron box, Iketani Yu was so angry that his hair stood on end and he immediately ran after her.
We were not going in the same direction, so of course I couldn't catch up with her.
Chi Guyu returned to the village in a rage and went straight to the brigade headquarters, wanting to borrow the brigade's phone to call his father Chi Jianjun.
Since Ikegani Ai is determined not to share the treasure with her, don't blame her.
She can't deal with Chi Gu Ai, and there's also Chi Jianjun.
Chi Jianjun is Chi Gu'ai's biological father. With him stepping forward, Chi Gu'ai can't have everything to herself.
It would be the same if she waited for Chi Jianjun to get the iron box back and then found another opportunity to steal it.
Chi Jianjun received a call from Chi Guyu and learned that the iron box he had buried under the persimmon tree in the old house was blown out by the strong wind, and that Chi Guyu had loved it. He immediately became anxious like an ant on a hot pan.
Those things had been in his hands for so many years, but he didn't dare to look at them carefully, and he hurriedly buried them in the ground along with the box.
In the early years, the situation was tense and he was afraid of being targeted, so he didn't dare to touch the good things he had.
Now that the storm has passed and his son has grown up, he is thinking of waiting for his son to be released from the juvenile detention center, and then taking out the things and exchanging them for money so that his son can start a family and build a career.
Now the iron box has been discovered and taken away by Ai Iketani. How can this be allowed!
Chi Jianjun, who was extremely anxious, immediately went to Director Wang to ask for leave, saying that he wanted to go back to his hometown in the countryside.
Director Wang knew that Ikeya Ai had gone to the countryside to visit her mother's grave these two days.
Seeing that Chi Jianjun insisted on asking for leave to go back to his hometown, he thought that he wanted to cause trouble for Chi Guyai again, so he didn't plan to approve his leave.
I also want to persuade him not to always target Chi Gu Ai and bully her.
But Chi Jianjun was so anxious at the moment that he couldn't listen to what Director Wang said.
Seeing that Director Wang disagreed to grant him leave, Chi Jianjun, who felt that Director Wang and Chi Guyai were in cahoots, did not confront Director Wang. He pretended to have a stomachache and turned away.
Then he left the factory director's office and rode his bicycle as fast as he could, all the way to the countryside.
Although it was a very cold day, Chi Jianjun, who was exhausted and sweating profusely, hurried and finally arrived in the countryside before noon.
I happened to run into Ikegaya Ai at the entrance of the village, who was about to leave after visiting her mother's grave.
At this moment, Chi Gu Ai was blocked by Chi Gu Yu, who refused to let her go no matter what.
Seeing that his biological father had finally arrived, Chi Guyu, who had been beaten many times, felt like he had found a savior and almost cried with excitement.
God knows how much she suffered trying to stop Iketani Ai. Her body must have been covered in bruises.
Iketani Ai, who had no sisterly feelings at all, treated her harshly.
She won't do it if her father doesn't give her more benefits this time.
"Dad, Dad, come quickly, the iron box is in my sister's bag, come and grab it back!"
Hearing this, Chi Jianjun didn't even have time to tie up his bicycle. He threw it to the ground and ran towards the two of them.
When he got close, he tried to snatch the bag from Iketani Ai.
"Gu Ai, give the things to Dad quickly. Those are the Chi family heirlooms, passed down to sons only, not daughters. You can't take them!"
Dodging the hand extended by Chi Jianjun, Chi Guyai kicked Chi Guyu away and turned to look at Chi Jianjun with a sneer.
When did something with the surname Liao become a Chi family heirloom? And it's passed down to males but not females?!
Bah! Shameless!
"Is this stuff from the Chi family? The Chi family has been poor farmers for eight generations, where did they get these good things?!"
"Call them and see if they respond!"
Chi Jianjun, who had never read Journey to the West, certainly didn't understand the irony of this sentence, but he was still so angry that his face turned red.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could these dead things possibly answer me?"
"So what if the Chi family has been poor peasants for eight generations? Can't a family of poor peasants for eight generations have some good things?!"
"Stop making trouble, girl. Give me the things. If you really want them, it's not impossible for Dad to share one or two with you later."
Hearing what Chi Jianjun said, Chi Guyu, who was still lying on the ground crying out in pain, became unhappy.
She worked so hard to stop Ikegani Ai, but not only was she hit by a hammer, she was also kicked hard.
Her father hadn't even given her any benefits yet, so why did Ikegani Ai take all the things?!
"Dad, if you give it to her, you have to give me something similar. Don't be partial!"
What's going on here with Chi Guyu?!
It is understandable that Ikegami Ai wants to steal things, after all, they all belong to the Liao family.
It’s okay that Chi Guyu is a girl, and her biological mother’s surname is not Liao, so why is she so greedy!
Chi Jianjun didn't want to pay attention to Chi Guyu, but he was worried that this damn girl would turn against him and hinder him, so he just responded with a few words.
First, he would trick her into helping him snatch the thing from Iketani Ai's hands. Then, he would have the final say on whether to give it to her or not.
After getting Chi Jianjun's promise, Chi Guyu immediately forgot the pain in his body, got up from the ground and rushed towards Chi Guai again.
Iketani Ai was equally rude. She raised her foot and kicked her again, sending her flying three meters away.
This time, Chi Guyu completely collapsed on the ground and couldn't move, he was in so much pain that he couldn't even make a sound.
Seeing Chi Guyu's miserable state, Chi Jianjun was terrified, fearing that Chi Guyu would go crazy and kick him.
So he gave up on robbing by force and decided to use a soft approach.
But Chi Gu Ai refused to listen to any persuasion and his attitude remained the same.
In a nutshell, if you want something, you won’t get it, but if you want to be beaten, you will get it.
When she gets angry, she even dares to hit her own father.
If Chi Jianjun doesn't believe it, just come and try it!
Of course Chi Jianjun didn't believe it, and as expected, he was kicked by Chi Gu Ai.
Chi Guyu, who was also kicked down, looked at his father who fell to the ground right after him, and was so scared that he lay on the ground and dared not move.
Her waist was still hurting badly at the moment, and she felt like all the bones in her body were about to be broken by being kicked, but she didn't want to be beaten again.
She was really beaten up, how could she steal the things and go to Hong Kong City?!
Yes, Chi Guyu hasn't given up on getting the thing yet.
She just suffered a loss, and she doesn't plan to confront Iketani Ai head-on anymore.
Instead, he planned to find an opportunity to sneak into the public security dormitory and steal. He didn't believe that Iketani Ai could carry the things with her all the time.
Chi Jianjun didn't expect that Chi Guyai would dare to kick him. He was stunned for a moment and then started cursing.
"You evil daughter! You evil creature! How dare you lay hands on your own father?! You unfilial thing! If I had known I should never have given birth to you!"
Ikeyani Ai didn't feel any pain or itch. Whether she gave birth or not, she would give birth anyway.
No matter how unfilial this evil daughter of hers is, Chi Jianjun can only endure it now.
He was the one who committed the evil first and stole his wife and daughter's things. Don't blame him for the backlash!
After kicking Chi Jianjun, Chi Guai stepped over him, picked up the fallen bicycle and pedaled on it.
"Dad, thank you for coming to give me the car. I'll be leaving first!"
After waving to Chi Jianjun and Chi Guyu who were both lying on the ground, Chi Guyai rode away on her bicycle.
Chi Jianjun, who didn't get the iron box back and had his bicycle stolen instead, was so angry that his mind was dizzy, his face turned red and his lips turned purple.
Chi Guyu was terrified by what he saw, fearing that he would suffer a sudden stroke like his nanny Li Zaohua.
"Dad, Dad, don't scare me!"
If Chi Jianjun also had a stroke, how would he make money for her?!
Before she could steal the iron box, she still had to rely on Chi Jianjun.
Chi Jianjun didn't know what Chi Guyu was thinking, but he was very touched to see how nervous Chi Guyu was.
Then, he cursed Iketani even more harshly.
"Ichi Gu loves that unfilial daughter, I won't let it go like this!"
"Guyu, come and help Dad. When you get back, take the things back and Dad will give you two more as a dowry."
Chi Guyu couldn't help but roll his eyes. Just giving her two more things? Who was he trying to smear?
Instead of relying on Chi Jianjun's biased preference for boys over girls, she might as well rely on herself.
However, after recovering from the pain, Chi Guyu still helped Chi Jianjun up.
The father and daughter supported each other and limped after Ai Iketani who was riding away on a bicycle.
At this time, Chi Jianjun had no time to care about arranging a blind date for Chi Guyu. He went back to the county town to get the things back first.
Chi Guyu wished the blind date would end, so he helped Chi Jianjun chase the ashes of Chi Guyai's car back to Lingcheng County.
After returning to the county town, Chi Jianjun did not make a big fuss about the matter, mainly because he was not in the right.
He knows best what his family background is.
If this really gets out of hand and other people find out that he secretly hid the things his wife left for their daughter, how would his reputation be good?
Of course, Chi Jianjun doesn’t care so much about reputation now.
But even if you make a fuss, you may not be able to get the things.
During the first two days, Iketani Ai didn't see the father and daughter, and thought they knew they had to give up or go back.
Unexpectedly, they were so bold that they broke directly into the dormitory of the Public Security Compound.
Chi Jianjun and Chi Guyu, who had fooled the compound's gatekeeper by relying on their family status, were using a thin wire to pry open the door of Chi Guai's dormitory when they were blocked by Chi Guai who suddenly returned.
There were several police colleagues who came back with Ai Iketani at that time.
Chi Jianjun felt guilty for a moment when he was caught by so many people trying to pry open the door, but then he became righteous.
He is Chi Gu Ai's biological father. Can prying open his daughter's door be called prying?!
Stealing a girl’s things is not called stealing!
