Chapter 248 Retreat, Retreat, Retreat
"Oh my, Shanshan, my granddaughter-in-law, you're finally out!" Sun Lijun stopped wailing as soon as she saw Lin Shanshan. She pulled Bai Xiaopeng towards them.
Lin Shanshan subtly stepped aside and coldly asked, "What are you doing?"
She had just heard Sun Lijun scolding Gu Yiye for being an unfilial son and grandson.
Bai Lusheng walked over with a fawning expression and said ingratiatingly, "Shanshan, we can't go to Hong Kong Island because we can't find my sister Bai Xue, so we had no choice but to come here."
Lin Shanshan didn't give her a friendly look. It was Sun Lijun and Bai Lusheng who abandoned Gu Yiye back then. She asked impatiently, "What are you doing here? Stop beating around the bush and get to the point."
Bai Lusheng hadn't expected Lin Shanshan to be so shameless. It seemed he wouldn't be able to get the money peacefully. He immediately changed his tune, dropped his fake smile, and said loudly, "I'm here on behalf of my mother, who is also your and Gu Yiye's grandmother, to ask for alimony."
Bai Lusheng deliberately raised his voice, as if afraid that the people next to him wouldn't be able to hear him.
In rural areas, this tactic is very effective. The word "filial piety" can be incredibly powerful.
The three adults had already discussed it on the train. This Lin Shanshan seemed to be a university president, and they were sure that pressuring her with the concept of "filial piety" would work.
Hearing Bai Lusheng's words, Lin Shanshan laughed speechlessly and retorted, "You're saying you're asking me and Gu Yiye for alimony on behalf of your mother? Who are Gu Yiye and me to your mother? Why should we be supporting her?"
"Grandson, granddaughter-in-law." Bai Lusheng said confidently, and Jia Hongmei added fuel to the fire: "That's right, you are the university president, your income must be high, so you have to give money to support your grandmother."
Bai Lusheng made the relationship very clear and unambiguous.
This time, not only Lin Shanshan laughed, but the security guards next to her also burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless."
“My son is still alive and well, in the prime of his life, and he has the nerve to ask his grandson to support him in his old age.”
"This is the first time I've ever heard of someone relying on their grandson and granddaughter-in-law to support them in their old age."
"Hey, this is really eye-opening. The whole family is dead, and only the grandson is left. It would be understandable for the grandson to take care of him in his old age, but the son and daughter-in-law are still alive, and he is actually asking the grandson and granddaughter-in-law for money."
The school security guards all knew Gu Yiye and Lin Shanshan's character, and since Lin Shanshan was their boss who paid their salaries, they would definitely speak up for them.
Moreover, in this world, with the son and daughter-in-law both alive, what reason is there for the grandson to support the family in their old age?
At this moment, Bai Lusheng and Jia Hongmei wished they could disappear into a crack in the ground.
When they came, they were desperate for money, and Bai Xue had been giving them money before. Now that she wasn't giving them any, they naturally assumed they should ask Gu Yiye for it.
They've all forgotten that they're still alive; there's no reason for a grandson to support his grandmother.
It's said that raising children is for old age security, but the responsibility of supporting the elderly still lies with the son.
Sun Lijun is old, and her face is thicker than a city wall, so she doesn't care about other people's ridicule.
In Sun Lijun's mind, getting money was more important than anything else. What were face and reputation worth? They were worthless!
Sun Lijun immediately transformed into a shrew, preparing to launch a magical attack.
She took a step forward with her right foot, pointed at the security guard, stomped her foot, and pointed her hand at the guard in sync with the stomping.
He muttered to himself, "Retreat, retreat, retreat..."
Lin Shanshan blinked, watching Sun Lijun's shamanistic-like actions, and couldn't help but sigh, "So this gesture already existed in the 1970s!"
The security guards were dumbfounded by Sun Lijun's actions. Some were trying to suppress their laughter, while others couldn't bear to watch. However, after Sun Lijun's antics, the security guards fell silent.
Seeing that the scene had quieted down, Sun Lijun, like a victorious rooster, almost raised her head to the sky, ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
“This is our family matter. What business is it of yours? You're all just busybodies, meddling in other people’s business.”
Sun Lijun arrogantly cursed at people.
After berating the security guard, he put his hands on his hips and continued, "Ever since my daughter Bai Xue found Gu Yiye, she hasn't given me any money. It must be you who did this to my daughter."
"I can't contact my daughter now, who else can I turn to if not you?" Sun Lijun spat into the snow and continued, "If I don't get the money today, I'm not leaving."
He has the face of a scoundrel.
Lin Shanshan stopped laughing and said with an expression as if she were looking at an illiterate person, "Don't you know that there is a crime called abandonment?"
This crime was already in the Chinese criminal law in 1950.
People in the past rarely studied criminal law, nor did they have access to learn it.
Upon hearing the charge of guilt, Sun Lijun immediately fell silent. Bai Lusheng, however, spoke up: "Lin Shanshan, don't try to fool me. I've never heard of such a crime in my life."
Lin Shanshan replied quietly: "Article 134 stipulates the following regarding the crime of abandonment: Anyone who abandons a person who has a duty to raise or provide special care but is unable to save themselves, and who has the possibility of fulfilling their duty, shall be imprisoned for not more than three years. Anyone who commits the crime mentioned in the preceding paragraph and causes the death of another shall be imprisoned for not less than four years but not more than fifteen years."
When Lin Shanshan was in the underworld, she memorized the criminal laws of every era.
Abandonment is indeed the punishment for such crimes, but in the 1950s, there were many people who were sent away because they were starving.
Gu Yiye was born in 1950, during one of the most difficult years in China's history. Moreover, Sun Lijun and Bai Lusheng did not abandon him on the roadside; they found someone to raise him, so it cannot be considered abandonment.
Lin Shanshan's words at this moment were merely meant to intimidate Sun Lijun and the others who were ignorant of the law.
As expected, Bai Lusheng shut up as soon as he heard the word "imprisonment." Guiltyly, he shifted the blame to Bai Xue: "We didn't abandon Gu Yiye. It's his mother who doesn't want him anymore."
Sun Lijun also nodded shamelessly: "That's right, it's just that Bai Xue doesn't want him anymore, it has nothing to do with us."
Lin Shanshan was too lazy to argue with them and said, "I don't care who abandoned Gu Yiye, you didn't raise him for a single day, and you still have the nerve to come here asking for alimony. I'm telling you clearly, no way!"
“I won’t give you a single penny! If you know what’s good for you, go back home obediently. If you dare to cause trouble again, I’ll call the police and have you all arrested.”
After saying that, without waiting for Sun Lijun and the others' reaction, he ordered the security guards to kick them out.
He then said to Li Bing, "Director Li, next time you see them, don't tell me, just kick them out."
