Chapter 487: Revenge on Lin Fang
It was too late now and there were no buses back to the city. He couldn't go home and could only find a guesthouse to stay in.
The town is not small and there are guesthouses, but he doesn't have a letter of introduction and the regular guesthouses don't want to see him at all.
He was not stupid. He found an old man who was taking a walk after dinner, took out a pack of "Five Golden Flowers" cigarettes that Wei Zhixin had given him during the day from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to the old man. He learned that Anwu Lane was full of small hotels owned by their own families. Those with letters of introduction could stay for 50 cents a night, and those without letters could stay for one yuan a night.
Zhuang Ganmei asked for directions, thanked him, and then spent one dollar to stay in Anwu Lane for one night.
He tossed and turned all night and couldn't fall asleep. He was so tired that he fell asleep at dawn, but he didn't sleep for long. His biological clock woke him up at 5:30 in the morning.
Zhuang Ganmei got up, packed up, quietly left the small hotel, and walked to the door of Lin Fang's house.
He didn't mind the chill of the morning air at all, as he was now much warmer than he had been inside.
Besides, he usually starts working at this time and has long been accustomed to the cold.
At 7:20, he saw Yao Fa walking out of the house, wearing the blue cloth overalls issued by the factory. He must be going to work.
Lin Fang was not with him.
Immediately afterwards, several more people came out of the yard, all wearing the same clothes and going to work.
Zhuang Ganmei waited until 8:10, but Lin Fang still didn't come out. He confirmed that Lin Fang was probably not working the early shift or was resting today, so he took a deep breath of the cold air and walked towards the yard.
The gate to the courtyard was half open, so he didn't hesitate and pushed it open and walked in.
Lin Fang was standing in the yard rinsing her mouth. When she saw someone pushing the door open, she asked vaguely:
"Who are you looking for?"
Zhuang Ganmei looked around and saw that there was no one else in the yard, so he rushed forward and pushed Lin Fang against the wall. Without waiting for Lin Fang to scream, he punched her.
Although he was thin, his eight years of labor were not in vain. Because he could not win the fight, he even took on part of the labor of the leader.
Lin Fang was stunned.
Zhuang Ganmei saw that the door of the house behind her was not closed tightly, and thought that it was her home, so she picked up the person and pushed him back into the house.
Lin Fang fell heavily to the ground and instinctively shrank back. She wanted to open her mouth to speak, but her face hurt so much that she could only cry out in pain.
She stared at the person in front of her in horror, blinking several times before finally recognizing him.
"Zhuang Ganmei..." She covered her face and said vaguely, saliva and blood flowing out of her half-open mouth.
"You knew this day would come! You were calculating it would take two years, right? You didn't expect me to come out early, right!" Zhuang Ganmei said viciously.
"Don't come over! I'm going to call someone!" Lin Fang shrank back into the house.
But she knew very well that this place was very remote. One family in her yard had gone back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year, and another family had gone to work. People from other yards would not come to help if they heard about it, and everyone looked down on her.
Zhuang Ganmei was not afraid either, his eyes were red:
"Just scream. Don't the people here know why you were beaten? Then I'll tell them straight out that I'm here for revenge. Let's see if they think you deserved the beating! Anyway, I have nothing left. My wife is gone, my son is gone, and his horse isn't my own. What am I afraid of? I can kill you to pay you back!"
Hearing this, Lin Fang was scared half to death.
After all, she had lived with Zhuang Ganmei for several years and knew that he was a man who cared a lot about his reputation. She knew very well how angry he was about this matter, so she changed the subject:
"I didn't mean to chase after the US. Li Yuanhang forced me to do it!"
"You farted!"
"Ganmei, it's already like this now. Li Yuanhang is in jail too. Look at me, I went from being an employee at a large state-owned factory in the city to being in such a miserable state now. My two sons are just as bad as Li Yuanhang and they don't respect me. I'm getting my comeuppance! Just let me go! Just find another wife!"
Lin Fang could only start to play the victim.
"Hahahaha! You deserve it! That's what you deserve! If you betrayed me after I got in, I'd understand better. But you actually... were cheating on me right under my nose before... You're such a jerk!"
Zhuang Ganmei rushed forward and punches fell like raindrops.
Lin Fang dodged and started to fight back. She saw that Zhuang Ganmei's eyes were very scary and she was afraid that he would really kill her.
However, she was still defeated. In desperation, Lin Fang suddenly shouted:
"I'll give you money! I'll give you money! I'll give you all my money as an apology, okay? Please stop hitting me!"
Hearing this, Zhuang Ganmei stopped.
Lin Fang breathed a long sigh of relief. She stood up, took out all the money from the drawer and gave it all to Zhuang Ganmei.
That's only a dozen dollars.
Just as Zhuang Ganmei was counting the money, Lin Fang, who knew where she got the strength from, pushed Zhuang Ganmei aside and rushed out of the yard, shouting, "Murder! Robbery!"
Zhuang Ganmei felt panicked.
If she shouts like that, she will be in trouble.
So Zhuang Ganmei threw down the money and ran away.
Beating people and robbing money are two different things. Even if the incident of him beating Lin Fang was reported to the police station, it wouldn't be a big deal. Who wouldn't take revenge for such a grudge?
When he ran out of the yard, he was greeted by several nearby residents.
Lin Fang pointed at Zhuang Ganmei and said:
"That's him, robbing the money!"
Although the people who gathered around did not like Lin Fang, they could not let the criminal roam around near their home. As they approached, Zhuang Ganmei shouted:
"I'm her ex-husband! This bastard asked me to help raise two bastards for so many years. Should she be beaten? I'm lucky she didn't kill me!"
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
Zhuang's parents had brought this matter to the factory before, and everyone knew about it.
"What's wrong with me asking her to pay me child support? She was just about to give me a few dollars to send away a beggar! I didn't take a cent and just threw it on her bed. If you don't believe me, you can go and see!"
Everyone looked at Lin Fang with disgust, but they seemed relieved that she was not a criminal from outside.
An older brother spoke up:
"If you have any disputes, go to the factory or the security department to resolve them. Don't bother us. It's almost Chinese New Year."
Others hurriedly said:
"That's right, go to the factory to discuss your issues. If you want to fight, go to the factory to fight!"
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
Lin Fang looked at everyone and said, "You guys come with me. If I go alone with him, he'll beat me to death!"
But everyone shrank back, obviously not wanting to stand up for her.
Zhuang Ganmei saw the current situation and knew that Lin Fang was nothing but stinking shit here, so he became more confident. He sneered:
"I'm not going to the factory! Can the factory compensate me, fire this bastard, or put my two sons back into her belly?"
He brushed the dust off his legs and said to Lin Fang:
"Lin Fang, don't even think about having an easy life in this life. I won't hit you in the future, but I will come to see you from time to time."
After saying this, he left the dilapidated street.
No one felt sorry for Lin Fang, whose face was bruised and swollen, and everyone went home.
Lin Fang returned home crying, and sure enough, the money was thrown on the bed by Zhuang Ganmei.
She cried in the house all day until Yao Fa came to see her after get off work.
Originally, she thought Yao Fa would be heartbroken to see her like this, and might even fight her back, but she was wrong.
When Yao Fa heard that her ex-husband not only came out but also came to see her, he comforted him casually and prepared to leave.
"No, don't you plan to stay and protect me? What if he comes again at night?" Lin Fang was shocked by Yao Fa's behavior.
Unexpectedly, Yao Fa told the truth:
"We're just casual lovers. I don't want to get into all the trouble you've been in. I have a regular job, and he's a prisoner. A barefoot man isn't afraid of a man wearing shoes. I can't beat him! Let's just forget it!"
After saying that, he left without looking back and never paid any attention to Lin Fang again.
