Chapter 544 If there is an afterlife, let's not be father and son again.



The children who entered the school at the same time as Jiang Chen and Jiang Zhan, except for those who cried and refused to go to school on their first day.

They actively ask to go to school every day, the earlier the better!

They eagerly awaited the arrival of the Jiang brothers and their lackeys at the school gate early in the morning.

As soon as you see the Jiang brothers and their lackeys in the distance, you can hear the children's excited shouts.

In Xu Ningyan's words, the two brothers, Jiang Chen and Jiang Zhan, were the most handsome boys in the nursery.

In the evening, everyone would watch as the Jiang brothers were picked up by their lackeys before they would go home.

In the past, children loved Sundays the most because they could sleep in late at home.

These days, when I hear that kids don't go to school on Sundays, they cry so miserably!

She threw a tantrum, demanding to go to school!

At first, the parents were pleasantly surprised that their children were so motivated.

Later I found out they were going to see the dogs!

They were all at a loss for words, neither laughing nor crying.

The Jiang brothers, one aloof and the other outgoing, became the kings of the daycare not long after enrolling.

Together with his lackey, they were known as the three big brothers of the daycare center.

The two men and their dog each had their own adoring followers.

They often argued that the one they recognized was the eldest of the three.

The three factions could argue about this all day long, and if things got heated, they could even fight.

Of course, in the end, the henchman's faction, with its superior numbers, secured the nursery for him and became its sole leader.

Every day, children bring treats from their homes to offer to the dog-laced leader, hoping to get to pet his fur.

Taking advantage of collecting gifts for their lackey brother, the Jiang brothers gained several pounds over the course of a semester.

They were all fed by their subordinates, one bite at a time.

Just as the Jiang brothers were about to start elementary school, Gu Yong's transfer order came down.

He was directly assigned to the Southwest Military Region and became the deputy director of the logistics department of a certain military unit.

Once the transfer order is issued, you must report to the local area within a month.

Upon receiving the transfer order, Gu Yong hid in his study and smoked all night long.

The next day when I opened the door, the house was filled with smoke and soot; anyone who didn't know better would have thought there was a fire.

Dong Hongmei cried and sobbed, but there was nothing she could do.

In just a few years, Gu Yong had taken such good care of her that she lost the ability to live independently outside.

Even if she didn't want to go to the Southwest Military Region with Gu Yong, she didn't dare not go.

Without Gu Yong, she probably wouldn't be able to survive in the capital.

The only consolation is that my daughter is still studying in Beijing, so I don't have to go to the southwest with her to suffer.

She had heard that conditions in the southwest were harsh, hot and humid, teeming with venomous snakes and insects, and rife with miasma.

I heard the military headquarters is still deep in the mountains.

She regretted it; she should have known better than to come back and whisper sweet nothings in Gu Yong's ear.

I never expected that Gu Yong's anger would have such serious consequences.

Why should they be the ones to bear the consequences?

Dong Hongmei's idealized view of Gu Yong shattered instantly.

I never expected that he, as the biological father, couldn't even control his son from his previous marriage, let alone his ex-wife.

All I can do is pretend to be important in front of them, mother and daughter!

He harbored resentment, but after arriving in the southwest, where the weather was actually warmer and the conditions for the troops were relatively milder.

For someone of Gu Yong's age, it's actually better.

However, Dong Hongmei was not used to the climate here and fell ill as soon as she arrived.

Gu Yong was busy with work and trying to establish himself, so he had no time to pay attention to Dong Hongmei.

Dong Hongmei developed increasingly negative opinions and opinions about Gu Yong. After her illness dragged on and she finally recovered, she stopped speaking kindly to Gu Yong.

The couple quickly entered into a cold war.

Gu Yong wanted to use money to pressure Dong Hongmei into submission.

With her economic lifeline cut off, Dong Hongmei naturally took a step back first.

Afterwards, she seemed to have resumed her usual attentiveness towards Gu Yong, which made Gu Yong extremely smug. "Little brat! He can't handle a woman like Dong Hongmei?"

Dong Hongmei harbored resentment and became suspicious, developing an interest in Gu Yong's work.

Then he gradually learned to take advantage of Gu Yong's job to resell military supplies for his own benefit.

In just one year, he had saved up a large sum of money.

This matter wouldn't have been discovered immediately, but a small-scale conflict suddenly broke out on the border, and the entire Southwest Military Region went on high alert.

This loophole was discovered during an inventory check of military supplies.

The investigation continued until it finally led to Dong Hongmei and Gu Yong.

Gu Yong then realized that Dong Hongmei, whom he had always thought he could easily control, had long harbored ulterior motives and had been using his name to amass a considerable fortune.

Although it was eventually found out that Gu Yong was genuinely unaware of the matter.

However, since his wife was in charge, he couldn't escape the charges of neglecting his duties and condoning his relatives' misfortune regarding military supplies.

Especially at this critical moment, he was ordered by his superiors to be severely punished.

Dong Hongmei was arrested, and Gu Yong was also suspended from his duties for investigation. In the end, he was forced to retire early and sent to a local retirement home.

The conditions at this retirement home are considered pretty good for the local area, but compared to the capital, they are far inferior.

Gu Yong wanted to retire to a retirement home in Beijing, or if that wasn't possible, he could go to the Beihe Sanatorium.

Despite numerous efforts, the situation remained unresolved, as the efforts to secure better treatment after returning home had almost exhausted all the favors and connections made with his old comrades.

Now, no one is willing to help with this matter, or rather, everyone has already seen through Jiang Zhiyuan's attitude and has already silently chosen sides.

Gu Yong's past glory is long gone.

In the end, no matter how unwilling Gu Yong was, he had no choice but to stay in the retirement home.

Perhaps due to depression, Gu Yong did not recuperate in the retirement home for three years before his old illness relapsed, and he died despite his efforts.

Logically speaking, given Gu Yong's qualifications, if Jiang Zhiyuan and the others had fought for him, he could have been buried back in Qibaoshan in Beijing.

That can be considered a posthumous honor.

Unfortunately, Jiang Zhiyuan remained silent about Gu Yong's funeral, and his subordinates quickly understood his meaning.

They quickly buried Gu Yong in the highest-level cemetery in the area.

In his will before his death, he stipulated that all his assets, except for 1,000 yuan to pay for the living expenses of Mr. and Mrs. Gu and for future funeral expenses, should be used to pay party dues.

Perhaps because he had truly given up hope, the will did not mention Jiang Yuan and the Jiang brothers at all.

He truly came into this world all alone.

He left this world naked.

Upon receiving the obituary from the Northwest Military Region Cadre Sanatorium, Jiang Yuan paused for a moment, sighed once, and then let it go.

However, the Jiang brothers, Zhiyuan and Zhiyuan, inevitably felt a sense of loss after Gu Yong left this world.

The two brothers, unusually in sync, both took leave to go home. They set up a table in the courtyard, and Sister Mei cooked some dishes to go with the drinks and warmed a pot of wine.

The two brothers silently poured their first cup of wine on the ground, offering it as a tribute to Gu Yong, who lay in a cemetery thousands of miles away.

A cup of sake ended this bond between father and son.

If there is an afterlife, it would be better if we weren't father and son again!
