Chapter 54 Letter of Commitment
Zhou Yi doesn't have a deep memory of his second uncle's house, or to be more precise, the Zhou family's old house.
Because before the rebirth, after the grandfather passed away, the Zhou family's children and second uncle had a quarrel over the inheritance and almost broke off all ties.
Even when his father died, his second uncle's family didn't come to pay their respects.
My aunt and my third uncle were filled with hatred and cursed Zhou Jianjun to have a bad end.
And in fact, it is true.
After my grandfather passed away, my second uncle's family lived a carefree life for a while.
But the good times didn't last long, because a wave of layoffs came.
My second uncle inherited my grandfather’s position as a safety officer in the steel plant.
Although this position is not a cadre position, it has a very high status in the factory, a high salary, and does not require heavy physical work. It is a good job that others envy.
Logically speaking, even if people in such important positions are laid off, the factory will still give them some preferential treatment.
But my second uncle was one of the first to be laid off, which can be regarded as a case of him doing evil and finally getting himself punished.
When my grandfather was still alive, the leaders of the factory were all tolerant and caring towards the incompetent Zhou Jianjun because of my grandfather, a veteran who had fought in wars to defend the country.
Unfortunately, my second uncle was not ambitious enough and acted arrogantly in the factory, which ruined his reputation.
As soon as my grandfather passed away, the factory stopped showing any mercy to him and criticized him in various ways.
But he still didn't realize it, and even did something stupid like trying to fight with his leader at the factory gate.
As a result, when the job was laid off, his name was almost the first one to be filled in.
After being laid off, my second uncle didn't take it seriously at first and lived a carefree life for a while.
But because the family of three was used to eating lavishly, they soon ran out of money.
My second uncle had to beg for help everywhere, but he found that he was turned away everywhere he went.
Finally, he had no choice but to go out to the streets to do hard labor, but at that time a large number of workers in Baicheng were laid off and unemployed, there were too many people and too little work, so he had no food to eat.
The key point is that my second uncle also gave birth to a son who was even more useless than him, Zhou Kai.
In Zhou Yi's impression, his cousin has almost never done any serious work in his life.
At first, he relied on his parents' support and spent the whole day doing nothing.
Later, when his family ran out of money, he started to follow some bad friends and started stealing.
God will not let down those who work hard. With the unremitting efforts of this group of idiots and their vision of becoming bigger and stronger and creating greater glory.
The police wiped out the entire gang of thieves in one fell swoop, just like dropping dumplings into the pot, leaving no one behind.
Only then did the second uncle and aunt remember their eldest nephew. They knelt at the door of Zhou Yi's house with tears and snot, begging him to release Zhou Kai for the sake of their blood relationship.
Second Aunt lay on the ground and threw a tantrum, saying that Zhou Kai was still young and ignorant, and why couldn't Zhou Yi let him go.
Zhou Yi was so angry that his nose almost turned crooked. He was already in his twenties and still so young? This family was really stupid and evil.
In the end, Zhou Kai was sentenced to three years.
Three years later, not long after he was released, he was sentenced to another seven years for robbery.
After that, Zhou Yi was no longer clear.
He only knew that his second uncle's later years were extremely miserable because his second aunt had run away with someone long ago and also took away the compensation for the relocation of the Zhou family's old house.
If it weren’t for the good social welfare later on, my second uncle would have starved to death long ago.
Although his second uncle's family did many evil things, Zhou Yi gradually became indifferent to them. After all, everything has a cause and an effect, and the final fate of his second uncle's family was also their own fault.
But this time was different. This time Zhou Yi really hated his second uncle's family to the core.
Because he didn't know before that his grandfather was killed by them.
Grandpa and father may be soft-hearted and let you go, but I will never let you have an easy time!
…
Zhou Yi looked at his watch. It was a few minutes before six, just the right time.
He knocked on the door and it was Zhou Kai who opened it, still with that messy hairy head.
"Brother..." When Zhou Kai saw Zhou Yi, he shrank like a chicken.
Zhou Yi glanced into the room and saw his second aunt clearing the dishes while his second uncle was sitting at the table picking his teeth.
Seeing Zhou Yi at the door, he immediately called out, "Zhou Yi is here, come quickly."
Zhou Yi walked into the house without saying hello.
Second Aunt looked back at him, her eyes full of malice. She was about to start a scene, but when she saw Zhou Yi's neat police uniform, she shut her mouth.
But the dishes in her hands still made a clinking sound.
Second Uncle licked his yellowed teeth, smiled, and stood up, saying, "At critical moments, it's still our Zhou family that has to be there. Look at Zhou Yi standing here in this police uniform, and see if they dare to mess around."
In the kitchen, Second Aunt said sarcastically, "Zhou Jianjun, are you mentally ill or deaf? Didn't you hear your son say that those people aren't afraid of the police? They think they're so great just because they wear a police uniform. Do they think they can arrest us all just because they wear a police uniform?"
"Zhou Yi, don't listen to your Second Aunt's nonsense. Who isn't afraid of the police? Come on, sit down."
"When your brother came back and told us about it the other day, I told your second aunt that Zhou Yi still respects his uncle and aunt. You see, when his brother was in trouble, he immediately came forward to help. After all, you and Xiao Kai are brothers."
"Second Uncle, the main purpose of my coming here today is not to help Zhou Kaiping."
As soon as Zhou Yi said this, the smile on Zhou Jianjun's face, who was smiling and about to peel a pear for Zhou Yi, froze.
The clanging sounds in the kitchen also stopped abruptly.
"Then...what are you doing here?" Zhou Jianjun put the pear he had just picked up back.
Zhou Yi took out a piece of paper from his pocket and placed it on the table in front of his second uncle.
"You guys take a look at this first, then we'll talk." Zhou Yi said coldly.
Second Aunt didn't have time to wash the dishes at this time, and immediately ran out of the kitchen wiping her hands.
Zhou Kai also wanted to go over and take a look, but after looking at Zhou Yi, he didn't dare to move. He could only stand there, at a loss.
Five seconds later, Second Auntie's eyes widened as she glared at Zhou Yi and shouted, "Zhou Yi, explain yourself clearly. What do you mean by this? Are you trying to bully our elders? Ah! Or is it that the Zhou family is extinct, and it's your turn as a junior to bully us?"
Second Uncle's face also turned red and white, and he slammed the paper in his hand heavily on the table.
Zhou Kai, who was standing by, couldn't help it any longer and quickly ran over to pick it up and take a look.
"I, Zhou Jianjun, voluntarily give up all inheritance from Zhou Ah Si and promise to move my family out of Room 306 of the Yigang Dormitory, where we currently live, before March 30, 1997. At the same time, from now on, I will no longer fulfill my obligation to support Zhou Ah Si..."
The more Zhou Kai read, the lower his voice became, accompanied by the increasingly sharp and unpleasant insults from Second Aunt.
Even the neighbors around heard it, but no one came out to take a look, because his house made such noises every few days, and everyone was used to it. Sometimes joining in the fun might even cause harm to others.
"Have you cursed enough?" Zhou Yi said coldly.
"You..." Second Aunt suddenly felt that Zhou Yi's aura had changed, and the swear words that were about to come out of her mouth were forced back.
Zhou Yi took out another piece of paper from his pocket and shook it in front of the three people.
When my second uncle and second aunt saw the paper, their faces turned pale instantly.
