Extra 8: Jin Zhengtai and Gu Jingxiu
Lao Jin didn't expect Jin Zhengtai to be so tough.
His unshaven face was dark as he looked at Jin Zhengtai and said, "Are you really going to be so heartless?"
Heartless?
Jin Zhengtai seemed to have heard a huge joke. He curled the corners of his lips and sneered, "As expected, you have no heart."
He looked at Lao Jin, his eyes were dead silent, and his voice was emotionless, as if he was narrating about someone else's family. "When my grandmother was alive, she always advised me not to cause trouble for you no matter what happened, and not to affect the harmony of your family. So, no matter how hard it was for us, we would never come to you. Even so, this woman would still come to trouble me every now and then, mocking me and making fun of me."
Jin Zhengtai looked at his stepmother and chuckled, "Do you really think I'm a wimp?
I just listened to my grandma, took her feelings into consideration, and didn't confront you head-on. I naively thought that my so-called relative really had difficulties, and it wasn't that he didn't care about me, he just had no choice.
Have you ever paid a penny for my tuition?
I couldn't afford the tuition and was on the verge of dropping out, but the old principal took pity on us, a family of grandchildren, and waived my tuition. It was winter, and your son was wearing a brand new cotton-padded jacket, but I was wearing thin clothes and shivering with cold, but you couldn't see it.
So, no matter legally or morally, we have no relationship anymore. Now, you want to talk to me about friendship?"
Jin Zhengtai clenched his fists and looked at Lao Jin with a cold expression, "Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
When Gu Jingxiu heard this, tears welled up in her eyes. She reached out and held Jin Zhengtai's hand to comfort him.
Jin Zhengtai touched her head and smiled at her, "Don't be afraid, I'm fine."
He didn't want his woman to see such an unbearable scene, but he didn't expect these people to be so shameless.
Daniu also came out to help, "Aunt, I heard that when you were a daughter and wanted to marry my uncle, you asked him not to care about Jinzi and grandma. My uncle was so obedient and kept his promises with so many daughters. He really treated his own son as a stranger. Now you want to occupy his territory. What kind of affection do you have?"
Da Niu's tone was deliberately prolonged, and Lao Jin and his wife looked furious.
The stepmother's face was long, "Daniu, what does it have to do with you? Don't think I don't know. You just saw that he drove a car and tried to curry favor with him."
"Don't judge others by your own standards."
Jin Zhengtai didn't want to waste time talking to them. "That's all I have to say. If you don't want the government to handle it, just tear it down for me."
Jin Zhengtai was firm in his attitude and there was no room for negotiation.
The old village chief came out to persuade him, "Jinzi, why don't you ask them to give you a discount? It's not easy for us rural people to repair a house."
Jin Zhengtai said, "Uncle, don't worry about this. I won't change my mind. The certificate is in my hand. If they don't demolish it tomorrow, I will call the police and let them come and deal with it."
Seeing Jin Zhengtai was so determined, the stepmother knew there was no room for maneuver. She sat down on the ground and began to wail, "Oh, everyone, look at this heartless man. He became rich outside, but now he comes to bully his own father and brother. Is he still a human being?"
The stepmother started to act like a rogue, "If you want us to tear down the house, your car will have to run over me."
Jin Zhengtai ignored him and took out his cell phone from his pocket.
The villagers had never seen that thing before, so they all stretched their necks out of curiosity to take a look.
Jin Zhengtai began to dial a number, "If you don't get up, I'll call the police and let them handle it."
When Lao Jin heard that the police had been called, he became anxious and pulled the woman up, "Don't embarrass yourself, go home first."
In the 1990s, calling the police became popular. In order to educate the people about the law, slogans were written on the walls saying "Call 110 if you have any problem."
So, when Mr. Jin heard Jin Zhengtai calling the police, he immediately became nervous and pulled his wife up.
The woman was pulled away, Jin Zhengtai drove the car, and Gu Jingxiu and Daniu got in.
Jinqian watched Daniu get into Jin Zhengtai's car and he was envious and jealous.
He grumbled to his parents in dissatisfaction, "Why didn't you treat Jin Zhengtai better in the past? He was your son after all. Look at what he has done now. He doesn't even recognize his relatives. Even Danniu can ride in his car, but I, as his younger brother, can't even touch him."
The villagers who came over to watch the fun were all gloating when they heard the words about money.
An old man passed by and sighed, "You reap what you sow. You must never lose your conscience at any time."
"Old Li is right. Jinzi and his grandmother lived such a miserable life before, and they didn't do anything to manage it."
"Humph, his family has so much money but still can't find a wife. Isn't it because they have a bad conscience? No one dares to argue with them."
"That's right. If they are so heartless to their own son, how can they be good to their daughter-in-law? If I had a daughter, I wouldn't dare to find such a family for her."
The villagers were talking about it one after another.
"It's all your fault."
Jinqian said this to his parents angrily and walked away with a sour face.
The stepmother glared at the whispering villagers and quickly caught up with them.
Jin Zhengtai was driving the car along the bumpy dirt road. It was the first time for Daniu to ride in a car. He was very nervous at first and was too scared to move. But after a while he was touching the seats and the windows, feeling extremely curious.
He pointed to the road ahead and said, "My girlfriend's home is in the village ahead. Jinzi, you still remember that we once stole apricots from their village. At that time, a little girl chased us and stood on the hilltop to curse us. Do you remember?"
Jin Zhengtai laughed and said, "Why don't I have any impression of her? That girl had two pigtails and was very fierce. I was so scared that I lost my shoes. I even scolded her. She was so fierce that she would never get married."
Daniu scratched his head and chuckled, "She is my girlfriend."
Kim Jung Tae, “….”
Is ape shit that deep?
Daniu looked out the window and said hurriedly, "We're here, Jinzi, please stop by the roadside and wait for a moment. I'll go call her."
Daniu got out of the car and ran away along the path.
Gu Jingxiu looked at Daniu's back and said to Jin Zhengtai, "Your Tong Niu is lucky to have a friend like Daniu."
Jin Zhengtai nodded, "Yes, apart from not having the love of my parents, I still have many good memories."
"Your cheerful and optimistic personality must have something to do with them."
Gu Jingxiu now truly feels the living environment that Jin Zhengtai once lived in, and his heart is really complicated.
It feels like his life is similar to that of her sister-in-law.
Jin Zhengtai said in a relaxed tone, without any melancholy, "I am a natural optimist."
"Do you really want them to demolish that house?"
At this time, they were the only couple together, and Gu Jingxiu knew that Jin Zhengtai would definitely tell her what was in his heart.
Jin Zhengtai slowly uttered a word, "Tear down."
He said to Gu Jingxiu, "You see, behind our old house is the village primary school. The space is very cramped. I plan to confiscate our yard and expand the space for the village primary school."
Anyway, he won't be living here anymore, so he might as well contribute to the society and repay the old principal for his care for him.
"Jingxiu, do you agree with what I am doing?"
After Jin Zhengtai finished speaking, he looked at Gu Jingxiu and asked.
Gu Jingxiu didn't expect Jin Zhengtai to be so broad-minded. She nodded and said, "I agree. This is a good thing."
It's better to contribute to society than to let those cruel vampires take it away.
"Yes, we still have land that belongs to me and my grandmother. I'll ask Daniu later if it's been occupied by someone or is just abandoned. We can rent it out first. When we get old and don't want to stay in the city anymore, I'll bring you here to farm."
Gu Jingxiu nodded heavily, "Okay."
As the two were talking, they saw Da Niu coming towards the car with a girl who was dressed in colorful clothes and had two pigtails.
"Xi Ping, look, I didn't lie to you, there really is a car, it belongs to my buddy, and he's going to take us to town for dinner."
Da Niu opened the car door and the girl named Xiping carefully looked inside and saw two city people sitting in the front who were dressed the same as the people on TV.
She shrank back in fear.
Daniu encouraged her, "Don't be afraid, go up quickly."
"Get in the car."
Gu Jingxiu glanced sideways and said with a smile.
Xiping smiled at her and said, "Okay."
The two of them sat in the back seat.
Xi Ping didn't see what the driver looked like, so she whispered to Daniu, "You mean the driver is the unlucky guy who lost his shoes because I scared him when I was a kid?"
Kim Jung-tae, “…………”
