Chapter 409 How could you do this!
Zhuang's mother and father looked at Lin Zhendong and Lin Zhenbei in surprise.
The person in front of her seemed both familiar and unfamiliar, and Zhuang's mother was a little scared.
She wanted to shout, but she knew in her heart that no one would care about their family affairs except Uncle Zhao, but Uncle Zhao was not there today.
The shouting, beating and scolding sounds coming from the house have been going on for a while, so no one cares at all, especially since everyone hasn't gotten off work yet.
So Mother Zhuang said softly: "Zhendong, Zhenbei..."
"Shut up! I'll kill you if you make a sound!" Lin Zhenbei shouted.
Lin Zhendong said as he searched the house:
"Originally, my dad was in jail, and my mom wanted to live well in this house. After all, your two salaries plus hers are more than enough to support the two of us. Even without my dad, we won't be too badly off.
My father didn't commit any murder or arson. People would forget about it after a few days. But why do you insist on doing it? Why do you want to dig up our life story?
Is it so important whose offspring we are? My dad is not good enough. Even if he is released and married again, he can't give you a grandchild. You are so shameless.
Do you know what kind of life we have been living since we left this village?"
Lin Zhendong said the last few words with gritted teeth, and Lin Zhenbei also gritted his teeth.
Lin Zhendong picked up the teacup on the table and smashed the glass door of the chest of drawers.
Zhuang's father and mother couldn't help but shrink back.
Zhuang's mother wanted to be soft:
"Zhendong! Look at us, we are the ones who are hurt! You know how much grandma and grandpa love you! Whatever delicious food is at home is given to you and Zhenbei first. When we share snacks at home, you always get more than Tunan and Xiaoting. Everyone can see my partiality!"
After this incident, the ones who are most saddened are your grandfather and me. Your grandfather is paralyzed, and I am also sick. In the past few years, we have aged much more than our peers, all because of this incident!
We are the last ones who want this to happen!"
Zhuang's mother began to cry.
"We could have been like Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting, but look at what we are like now. Why is God so unfair?" Lin Zhendong approached Zhuang's father and mother.
"It's all Lin Fang's fault! If it weren't for her, how could we be like this!" Zhuang's mother put the blame on Lin Fang.
"You're still blaming others! You're not wrong! The only ones who are wrong are me and Zhenbei! It's all of you who harmed us!
We were still young when we left, but now we've grown up and understand everything, so it's time to make amends." Lin Zhendong didn't want to say more to them and was ready to state his purpose directly.
Zhuang's mother was stunned for a moment, thinking of the salary she had just received today. She swallowed her saliva and asked:
"Zhendong, your uncle has already explained the family situation to you last time. Even if we wanted to compensate you, we don't have the ability!"
"Bullshit!" Lin Zhenbei cursed.
Lin Zhendong smiled, squatted down and rummaged through the box of pears.
Zhuang's mother was so nervous that she couldn't help but stretch her neck to look, and then she saw him take out a stack of red envelopes from the box.
However, since it was not a festival, the red envelope was hard to find. Lin Zhendong asked the owner of the small hotel for help and found a packet left over from last year in a small store near the hotel.
"You..." Zhuang's mother asked timidly.
"We don't ask for much. You're the elders, so you should give us some New Year's money! The two of us brothers will give ten red envelopes in total, ten yuan each, and we'll be even."
Lin Zhendong was indeed not greedy. He knew that their wages were enough and would not give them the opportunity to borrow or take money.
Upon hearing this, Zhuang's father stood up anxiously and raised his crutch to hit Lin Zhenbei. Lin Zhenbei grabbed his crutch. Zhuang's father tried to take it back, but was pushed to the ground by Lin Zhenbei in a few seconds.
"You old thing, you still think you are the head of the family! You still want to hit people? I'm afraid it's because you haven't done any good deeds and accumulated good karma, so you are paralyzed! You deserve it!" Lin Zhenbei raised his crutch and hit him hard with a few sticks.
Mr. Zhuang curled up in pain and cried out.
"Let me see if you act any more aggressively! Just put the red envelopes in your pockets! Hurry up! Otherwise I'll beat you to death!" Lin Zhenbei pointed at Zhuang's mother with his crutch.
This also frightened Zhuang's mother, and she cried:
"Zhenbei! We are your grandparents. We loved you so much when we were little! How could you have the heart to do that to me?"
Lin Zhenbei came over and grabbed Zhuang's mother by the collar, sneering:
"Why wouldn't I do it? You guys pushed us around and left us out on the street starving all day, and yet you still had the guts to do it!"
Lin Zhenbei had been silent just now, but when his brother spoke, he recalled the day when he was driven out of the bank by the two old men and was left on the street. He continued:
"Now you're afraid of being beaten, and now you're our grandparents and ready to love us, but it's too late! That night I wanted to set the house on fire, but my brother stopped me. Now I regret it so much. I should have burned you to death back then!"
As he said this, he picked up Zhuang's mother, threw her to the ground, and kicked her.
Zhuang's mother screamed.
She remembered that after she knew that Lin Fang had an affair with Li Yuanhang, she often sent the two children to Lin Fang in town. Lin Fang did not show any weakness and sent them back. Several times, she left before sending them to the factory gate, leaving them to go find Lin Fang on their own.
Lin Fang did the same thing. When the two children were sent back and could not get in, she left and the children sat outside on the street.
The last time Lin Fang sent them back, no one paid any attention to them the whole day. Finally, the neighbors sent them to the machinery factory union. The union promised that the neighborhood committee, police station and factory would come to help solve the problem the next day. Only then did Zhuang's mother allow the two children to go home.
That night she smelled a burning odor in the house and thought she was dreaming. When she woke up the next day, she saw that a spot of the oilcloth covering the debris in the corner of the room was blackened by smoke.
She was upset at the time and didn't think much about it. She just remembered that the small stove where the medicine pots sat outside the kitchen had been moved, which she felt a little strange about at the time.
Later, after several parties intervened to resolve the issue, Lin Fang took the two children away and never returned.
Unexpectedly, that night Lin Zhenbei moved the small stove under the oilcloth and tried to light it. Lin Zhendong stopped his brother and took the small stove back, but put it in the wrong place.
Thinking that they almost died at Lin Zhenbei's hands, Zhuang's mother couldn't help but feel horrified.
Lin Zhendong pushed the red envelope in front of him and shouted, "Pretend!"
Lin Zhenbei picked her up from the ground again and threw her onto a chair.
Zhuang's mother knew that she had no choice but to do as they were told. They were really capable of doing this. With their old arms and legs, they would be beaten to death in a few hits.
She tremblingly took out today's salary from her underwear and began to count it while putting money into red envelopes. Ten red envelopes, a hundred yuan each.
Money is no longer on Zhuang's mother's mind. She is only afraid. The two good grandchildren in front of her are like the devil.
The two watched her patiently pack the red envelope.
Mother Zhuang gently pushed the red envelope in front of her towards the two brothers.
Lin Zhendong nodded: "Grandpa and grandma, if you don't want to give this red envelope, then we don't want it, but we will come to see you every day. Do you want us to come just this once, or do you want us to come every day?"
Zhuang's mother nodded quickly: "Give it to me, I will give it to you voluntarily."
Lin Zhendong uttered two more words from between his teeth: "Write."
Zhuang's mother was stunned again.
"Since it's a red envelope, it must have a blessing message!"
Lin Zhenbei found a pen on Zhuang Chaoying's desk in the room and gave it to Zhuang's mother, who then started writing.
She knew how to read, but not many. After thinking for a while, she could write "live a long life", "get rich" and "be happy", and then she wrote them down.
Finally, the two grabbed the red envelopes, stuffed them into their pockets and left.
