"Dad, I heard from my brother-in-law that N City is a good place, I... want to go and see it." Zhao Guohui gritted his teeth and still did not give Zhou Yuanyuan away. In fact, Zhou Yuanyuan was chatting with Zhao Guohui one day when she was free, and she mentioned that N City, where Zhou Zhixin's troops were located, was a good place. In a few years, a small area in the south, including N City, would become the leader of the entire Chinese economic development.
Zhao Guohui felt very strange. How could his little niece, who was only this young, know anything about economy, development and other things?
Zhao Guohui asked more questions, leaving Zhou Yuanyuan dumbfounded. She then remembered that she had lost herself in the moment and told the story of her past life several years in advance. Zhou Yuanyuan had no choice but to evade Zhao Guohui by claiming she had dreamed about it. Although Zhao Guohui didn't press the issue, the words etched themselves deeply in his mind. He really wanted to see what the south was like compared to his hometown. Was it really as Xiaojiu had said, that in a few years, given the opportunity, the south would be a land of gold?
Seeing Zhao Guohui's insistence, Zhao Qingshan sighed and stopped objecting.
No matter what, since his son had been wronged this time, he should just take it as a walk to see the outside world! Besides, once Zhou Zhixin's report on accompanying the army came in, their family would also move to City N, so it would be the same as Guohui going there early.
Zhao Qingshan silently took out a roll of money from his inner pocket and handed it to Zhao Guohui.
Zhao Guohui was stunned. This huge roll of ten-dollar bills must have been worth two or three hundred yuan, right? His father had just given it to him without saying anything?
"Guohui, take this. This three hundred yuan is what I saved over the years. I was thinking of giving it to you after you have children. Now, I don't know when..." Zhao Qingshan thought of his eldest grandson who he would never have, and his throat was a little choked.
"Dad, keep your money for yourself. I... I have money." Zhao Guohui refused to accept Zhao Qingshan's gift. Over the years, he hadn't been filial to his father, and instead had always made his father worry about him. He couldn't take this money.
"Guohui, the poor are rich on the road, take a walk outside and go home early." Zhao Qingshan stuffed the money in his hand into Zhao Guohui's hand. Don't think he doesn't know because he is old. When Zhao Guohui and Xu Liqin divorced, he gave half of his savings to Xu Liqin. Now he doesn't even know if he has a hundred yuan on him!
"Dad, I..." Zhao Guohui felt like crying. For all these years, Zhao Qingshan hadn't remarried, raising them single-handedly and constantly worrying about them. This money wasn't just money; it represented Zhao Qingshan's love.
Zhao Guohui swore that he would work hard to help his father and his family live a good life as soon as possible.
"Okay, we have to travel tomorrow, so go to bed early and recharge your energy." Zhao Qingshan ignored his son with wet eyes, lay down on the bed, and soon began to snore.
Zhao Guohui wiped his tears, packed his luggage for tomorrow, and went to bed.
The moment Zhao Guohui's snoring sounded, Zhao Guohui opened his eyes in the darkness, looked at the snow-white ceiling, and stayed awake all night until dawn.
Early the next morning, Zhao Qingshan and his group checked out of the hotel, packed up their belongings, and sent Zhou Zhixin and Zhao Guohui to the station.
At the same time, Wen Yulong's family of four also came out of the Municipal Party Committee staff housing compound carrying large and small bags.
"Yulong, the old man is really something. He knew we were going to catch a train, but he didn't even send a car to take us there." Wu Xiuli felt that this time when she returned to Qingshan City, she was filled with dissatisfaction.
"Dad, dad, I want to take a bus. Can we go back and ask grandpa for help?" Wen Ziqiu was also unhappy. It was eight stops from the Municipal Party Committee's staff quarters to the railway station. It was not easy for them to squeeze into the bus with so many things.
"What are you begging for? You have to ask others for help even for such a small matter. What are your arms and legs for?" Wen Yulong glared at Wen Ziqiu, also full of anger.
Last night, Wen Yiran called Wen Yulong to the study and scolded him, saying that he was a grown man but couldn't even take care of his wife and children, and was embarrassing himself in the street.
Wen Yulong was confused by the scolding. He didn't know that Wu Xiuli and her mother and son were talking behind Zhao Qingshan's back, nor did he know that Zhao Qingshan and Wen Yiran had heard what Wu Xiuli and her mother were talking about.
Seeing Wen Yulong like this, Wen Yiran stopped scolding him. His eldest son was always so focused on work that he didn't care about anything at home. He was furious, and this kid still didn't understand what was going on. Alas! It was all his fault. If only he had stuck to his own opinion when Yulong remarried.
Thinking of this, Wen Yiran calmed down. Considering that Wu Xiuli had given birth to a pair of grandchildren for the Wen family, Wen Yiran could not persuade Wen Yulong to divorce his wife. He could only turn a blind eye and let Wen Yulong pack his bags and return to the army tomorrow.
Wen Yulong was annoyed when his father ordered him to leave. He had little time to show filial piety to his parents throughout the year, and now that he had a rare trip home, he was rejected by his father?
Wu Xiuli had been worried all afternoon, terrified that the old man would tell Wen Yulong about what happened that afternoon. In front of Wen Yulong, Wu Xiuli had always been dignified and elegant. If Wen Yulong suddenly discovered her mean nature, would he be disappointed?
Wu Xiuli saw Wen Yulong coming out of the study. His attitude towards her did not change, but he told her to pack her luggage. She finally felt relieved.
Because Wen Yiran was angry with Wen Yulong's family, he didn't arrange for a driver to take them off when Wen Yulong left. Wen Yiran felt that Wu Xiuli, a woman, was so overwhelmed by privilege that she didn't know her place. Fortunately, Zhao Qingshan was a loyal man and didn't hold it against Wu Xiuli. If the person Wu Xiuli had arranged to be with was Zhou Xi, Wen Yiran doubted that Wu Xiuli would still be alive.
In order to temper the pride of Wu Xiuli, her mother, and her two sons, Wen Yiran deliberately didn't send a car, nor did he let his other two sons go to see Wen Yulong off. That's why Wen Yulong and his friends were so embarrassed so early in the morning.
After Wang Biyun reported the "Scarface Gang" at the Jiefang Street Police Station yesterday afternoon, less than half an hour later, all members of the Scarface Gang, except Scarface himself, were arrested and taken to the police station.
Wang Biyun heard that Scarface was not arrested because his leg was broken somehow and he was in the hospital unable to move.
Xiao Jiang was arrested in the hospital and taken to the police station. He held his hand, which was swollen like a pig's hoof, and cried out in pain. Even after being kicked in the buttocks by the police, he did not stop crying out in pain.
The police had no choice but to send Xiao Jiang to the hospital where Scarface had his leg treated, and sent two police officers to monitor the two patients in the hospital.
