Extra 6: Jin Zhengtai and Gu Jingxiu
"What did you say?
Did you come here in a car?"
The woman wiped her hands on her apron and looked at her son in disbelief. "Are you sure you're talking about Jin Zhengtai?"
That wimp is the only one who can drive a car?
Driving a four-wheel vehicle is tough, right?
Qian Qian looked determined, "Mom, how can this be wrong?
His car was parked at the entrance of the village. He had just finished burning paper for my grandmother. The village chief was standing by the car. He was also handing out cigarettes to the villagers. I saw that they were all cheap cigarettes, and they cost seven or eight yuan a box.
The man who was busy working under the shed stopped what he was doing when he heard his son's words, but his bearded face was expressionless and no emotion could be seen.
When the stepmother heard this, her sharp eyes turned, "Lao Jin, did you hear that?
Your son is back in the car, let's go check it out."
Lao Jin scolded her, "What are you looking at? He is not your son."
"He is not my son, but he is your son. He has returned home in glory. You should quickly invite him to your home. I have never ridden in a car before."
Lao Jin stood up from under the open shed and said in a light tone, "Is it my son?
Have I ever spent a penny on him?
Has he ever worn a piece of my clothing or eaten a bowl of my food? "
The stepmother was anxious, "What do you mean?
Are you blaming me for not letting you take care of him?"
"No, I just don't want to take care of him."
After Lao Jin finished speaking, he walked straight into the house.
Jin Qian stamped his feet anxiously, "Dad, Mom, stop arguing, Jin Zhengtai is back, what should we do now?"
His yard was occupied by them.
The stepmother rolled her eyes and said to her son, "Jinqian, that's your brother. Go and invite him home and tell him that we miss him. How can we not go home when we return to the village?"
Jin Qian glanced at his mother, "Mom, do you believe what I said?"
The stepmother snorted, "Why don't you believe it?
Just say your dad misses him."
"Old Jin, what are you doing in the dead room?
You go with Jinqian and bring your son home. If you don’t go, the villagers will laugh at us.”
"Are you afraid of being laughed at by the villagers?"
Lao Jin's voice came from inside the house.
Jinqian's mother thought of what she had done to Jin Zhengtai in the past and curled her lips guiltily.
If she had known that wimp could become so successful, she would have given him a cold shoulder.
Old Jin didn't care about it and ignored the mother and son.
I didn't even plan to see what my son thought.
"Money, go and hire someone, I'll make something to eat. A stepmother can only urge her son."
Jinqian wanted to take another look at the car, so he ran out again.
Here, Jin Zhengtai chatted with the villagers for a few words and then decided to go and take a look at the old house.
However, Daniu, a friend who grew up with him, held him back.
Daniu had a complicated look on his face and took him home. "Jinzi, it's time for dinner. Take your partner to my house first. Let's have dinner there."
Jin Zhengtai smiled and shook his head, "No, I want to take my wife to see the old house."
Daniu hesitated for a moment and said, "Um...Jinzi, what's so good about that old house? Don't look at it. You won't live there anyway."
"Daniel, what's wrong?
Is there something you are hiding from me?"
Daniu is a simple and honest guy, his emotions are written all over his face.
Daniu said in embarrassment, "Jin Zi, I told you to be prepared. The yard where you and grandma lived was demolished by your father and a new house was built for Jin Zi."
Jin Zhengtai was suddenly stunned, "Did it get demolished?"
Daniu replied, "Not all of them were demolished. The rooms you lived in before were demolished, but grandma's room is still there."
"asshole."
When Jin Zhengtai heard this, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
Daniu complained, "Speaking of which, their family really got their comeuppance. Jinqian is only two years younger than me, and is already old enough to get married. Their family asked matchmakers to ask girls from all over the village, but as soon as the girls inquired about their family's character, the matchmaking was aborted.
Later, your father had no other choice but to consult a fortune teller, who said that the Feng Shui of the house they lived in was problematic, so they built their new house in the yard where you and grandma lived. Even after the new house was built, no one was willing to marry for money.
Ultimately, it's their bad character.
The biological father is indifferent and the stepmother is mean to their own son.
No one wants to be their in-laws.
Jin Zhengtai's face was extremely dark, and he said, "I'll go take a look."
He held Gu Jingxiu's hand and walked towards the old house. Daniu was worried and followed them.
Daniu asked curiously, "Jinzi, will you live in the village in the future?"
"Of course I live here, where else can I go?"
Jin Zhengtai had not intended to lie, but when he heard that the yard had been occupied by someone, he changed his mind.
Don't want to let them get away with it.
When Jin Zhengtai brought Gu Jingxiu to the old courtyard, they found that the adobe house on the east side was gone, replaced by three brick houses.
The house has not been completely completed yet, it has only been roughly built and there are no doors or windows yet.
The old house on the north side is still standing there, like a warrior that has experienced wind and rain and still stands firm.
Jin Zhengtai looked at the old house, which looked even more dilapidated and crumbling compared to the new house, and his face was very solemn.
He pushed open the shabby old-fashioned door of the old house.
There were several old items in the room, almost covered in dust, and spiders had woven webs on the beams.
At this moment, he was glad that he took his grandmother's photo with him when he left.
Gu Jingxiu followed in, looked at the dark room, and whispered to Jin Zhengtai, "Let's clean it up."
Jin Zhengtai nodded, "Yes."
At this moment, money came.
Seeing Daniu in the yard, he asked, "Daniu, where is my brother?"
Daniu raised his eyebrows deliberately, "Who is your brother?"
"It's just Jin Zhengtai, who else?"
The money back is a matter of course.
The face is quite thick.
Daniu sneered, "Oh, Jin Zhengtai is your brother! I thought the car outside was your brother."
Jin Zhengtai heard the noise outside.
Coming out of the old house, he looked at the money with a cold expression and said in a tough manner, "Go back and tell your parents to tear down this house."
"Tear it down?"
Qian Qian looked at him in astonishment.
How could the house they built with so much effort be demolished?
The money for repairing the rafters of the house is still owed.
Jin Zhengtai sneered, "What else?
You built it on my land, are you trying to occupy my yard?"
Jinqian stiffened his neck and retorted, "This is grandma's, not yours."
“That’s my grandma.”
Jin Zhengtai said in a light tone, "I have the certificate of the hospital, and it's written in my name. It's useless to repair it. If you don't want to demolish it, I will send a demolition team."
"you……"
Jin Qian looked at Jin Zhengtai, who was so heartless, glared at him fiercely, then turned and ran away.
"Jinzi, this house has been renovated. Will your father agree to demolish it?"
Daniel asked.
When they occupied this yard, they never took Jin Zhengtai seriously, nor did they think about where he would live in the future.
Jin Zhengtai's eyes were sharp, "If you don't agree, sue him."
"Jingxiu, stay outside for a while. I'll pack up the things in the house. There are some of grandma's belongings. Let's load them into the car."
Jin Zhengtai took off his coat, hung it on the bare branch of the tree in the yard, and prepared to start working.
He said to Daniu, "Daniu, go back and we will clean up the house."
Daniu glanced outside the courtyard wall and said worriedly, "I'd better stay here. Qianjin must have gone to get help. Your stepmother is so fierce, you are definitely no match for her. If a fight breaks out, I will side with her and you can beat her up."
When he was a child, Jin Zhengtai lived with his grandmother and did not rely on his father for support. His stepmother would always find fault with him and curse him whenever she met him on the street.
Every time that happened, the kids would make faces at the woman and stick their butts out to scare her away.
At this point, Daniu shook his head again, "However, given their family's character, they will definitely treat you like a ancestor when they see your car, so you must not be soft-hearted later."
