Chapter 124 The Older Woman's Fighting Power
Looking at Ren Mingzhu's haughty demeanor, Lin Shanshan laughed and said, "Brother Gu, do you think she's living in the old society?"
"Huh?!" Gu Yiye looked puzzled.
Lin Shanshan replied, "They thought the countryside was so poor that people had to sell their children to get food. Otherwise, why would they only give 300 jin of rice to the entire brigade of 500 households, and do it with such a condescending attitude!"
"I think she's brain-dead."
Gu Yiye laughed and said, "The word 'wife' is used aptly. Ren Mingzhu's brain is indeed severely disabled."
The villagers were furious. They had been notified early in the morning to come and collect their rice, and not only had they stood in the sun for over an hour, but they also had to listen to this new female educated youth boasting. To make matters worse, she even insulted them, saying they weren't human!
Saying that what they eat is not fit for human consumption is tantamount to calling them inhuman!
This is absolutely intolerable!
Some of the older women rushed forward and started yelling, "Do you think we're beggars?!"
"Giving us a little is fine, the rice is yours, you don't have to give it to us, but you can't treat us like monkeys!"
"You're interrupting my laundry. I can't stand your babbling."
"You dare call us inhuman? I'll tear your mouth apart!"
As the saying goes, "the law does not punish the masses." If it were just one or two people, or even a few, they wouldn't dare to lay a hand on the educated youth who came from the city. But now there are many people, and if they all attack together, as long as they don't kill someone, the brigade cadres won't hold them accountable.
At most, criticism and education!
The middle-aged women rushed towards Ren Mingzhu with great momentum!
Ren Mingzhu was so frightened that she immediately hid behind Zhang Xiaolan.
Zhang Xiaolan is usually Ren Mingzhu's lackey, but it's absolutely impossible for her to risk her life. Just as Ren Mingzhu was about to dodge, she ran away.
An older woman grabbed Ren Mingzhu's hair and pulled it, while another older woman twisted it recklessly.
Liu Jianshe was also annoyed by this relative. Today, Ren Mingzhu insisted on doing things this way, and well, she has angered the public. She deserved to be beaten!
Liu Jianshe thought to himself, as long as she isn't seriously injured, letting her suffer a little loss will make her easier to manage in the future.
It is well known that Chinese aunties are incredibly powerful, regardless of the era.
Ren Mingzhu was so badly beaten that her hair was disheveled, her face was swollen, and she was covered in snot and tears.
Ren Mingzhu was initially stunned by the beating and could only instinctively fight back. After being beaten for a while, she suddenly remembered that she had a senior official as her grandfather.
She immediately shouted, "You bunch of unruly people, how dare you hit me! I'll tell my grandfather, the general, to arrest and execute you all!"
The villagers, unaware of Ren Mingzhu's identity, assumed she was boasting and continued to beat her, venting their resentment!
It was Ren Mingzhu's fault, she shouldn't have insulted them and looked down on them!
Liu Jianshe only knew that Ren Mingzhu had an artist mother, but he didn't know that her grandfather was a general. He didn't quite believe her when she said that, but he was cautious. Moreover, seeing that Ren Mingzhu had been beaten black and blue and had already learned her lesson, he said to the villagers, "Fellow villagers, stop!"
The villagers stopped what they were doing when they heard Liu Jianshe speak.
Ren Mingzhu, with a mournful face, pointed at the villagers and said, "You wait, I'm going to send a telegram right now and have my grandfather deal with you!"
After saying that, he covered his face and limped away.
Liu Jianshe carefully put away the rice and instructed the militia members to move it to his own home first. Given Ren Mingzhu's character after today's commotion, she was very likely to take the rice back.
After Liu Jianshe finished his work, he saw Gu Yiye and Lin Shanshan watching a play under a big tree.
"Ah Ye, your grandfather was a high-ranking official. Could Ren Mingzhu's grandfather also be one?"
Liu Jianshe approached Gu Yiye and asked, "Does your grandfather know his grandfather?"
Gu Yiye thought for a moment and replied, "I don't know him!"
Liu Jianshe was relieved. There were only about a dozen people in the entire country at the level of Gu Yiye's grandfather, so they must know each other.
If you don't recognize her, it means Ren Mingzhu is lying.
Pregnant women get tired from standing for a long time, so Gu Yiye and Liu Jianshe said goodbye and took Lin Shanshan home.
On the way, Lin Shanshan asked curiously, "Brother Gu, why did you say that just now?"
Gu Yiye gently plucked a leaf from Lin Shanshan's hair and replied tenderly, "Your man has excellent investigative skills. I can now confirm that she is definitely not Fourth Uncle's daughter."
After all, no cousin would have romantic feelings for her cousin. It's one thing if she didn't know at first, but if she found out later and still went to the countryside, then there's a problem.
Moreover, the main reason Ren Mingzhu pursued him so persistently was because of Gu Yiye's identity.
Gu Yiye is very manly and handsome, but he has only met Ren Mingzhu twice. Gu Yiye doesn't believe that he was attracted to her solely because of her looks. The biggest reason is that he is the grandson of General Ren Shiyou.
Lin Shanshan asked again, "Aren't you afraid that Ren Mingzhu will really send a telegram to Grandpa?"
Gu Yiye said, "Even someone like me who only served in the army for a few years can see the clues. How could Grandpa and Third Uncle, who served in the army for so many years, not know the truth?"
Lin Shanshan recalled her grandfather's attitude when he talked about Ren Mingzhu. He seemed reluctant to discuss it and appeared hesitant to speak. Presumably, as Gu Yiye said, he knew the truth.
Gu Yiye continued, "They must have their reasons for not saying anything. However, I believe that Grandpa and Third Uncle would definitely not show favoritism for Ren Mingzhu."
Lin Shanshan nodded, not wanting to continue the topic, and changed the subject, saying, "Brother Gu, let's name the baby."
Gu Yiye looked at Lin Shanshan's belly and said, "I wonder if it's a boy or a girl?"
Lin Shanshan countered, "What do you hope for?"
Gu Yiye smiled and said, "That's fine. If possible, let's have three boys and one girl."
Lin Shanshan: "I didn't realize you were so sexist."
Gu Yiye quickly explained, "Wife, I didn't mean that. I prefer girls. It's just that boys are stronger and can protect their younger sisters when they grow up. Besides, boys are more robust and easier to raise than you would worry about."
