When Zhang Jiao and Lin Guodong pushed open the door and walked into the house with Junjun, Lin Yongnian and Zhang's mother were having lunch.
Because they and the children were not at home, Zhang's mother cooked some noodles for lunch.
Seeing the three people come in and close the door, Zhang's mother and Lin Yongnian were both startled.
Lin Yongnian saw Zhang Jiao and Lin Guodong looking a little embarrassed, and the things they were carrying in their hands, and he understood what was going on, but he didn't ask anything.
"Why did you come back so early? And these things, didn't you carry them with you? Why did you bring them back?" Zhang's mother quickly put down her chopsticks and stood up to ask.
Zhang Jiao didn't say anything. She threw the things in her hand to the ground, held her butt and moved to the side of the lounge chair, then lay down on it.
She held on all the way, and the pain in her tailbone was unbearable.
Lin Guodong put down the things in his hand, sat on the lounge chair, and took off the apron that covered half of his face.
Seeing that the couple were silent, Zhang's mother was extremely anxious. She slapped her thigh and asked, "Why are you all silent?"
Before she could finish her words, she screamed when she saw Lam Kwok Tung's face.
"Guodong, your face..."
Lin Guodong touched his swollen face and gasped in pain.
"Who hit him?" Lin Yongnian quickly stood up after seeing this and walked up to Lin Guodong and asked.
I saw that both sides of his face were swollen and purple and red, looking very serious.
Seeing his son being beaten like this, Lin Yongnian felt distressed and also very angry.
Lin Guodong lowered his head and said, "My uncle beat me."
Zhang's mother: "Why did he hit someone?"
Lin Yongnian sighed heavily and said, "I told you a while ago that your mother has been trying to identify you for so long, but she hasn't taken the initiative to come forward. You should know why."
"But what about you? You're not going back until you hit the wall. You and Zhang Jiao insisted on rushing over to acknowledge her. Now that you've hit the wall hard enough, it's time to give up, right?"
Lin Guodong touched his hair back, lowered his head and said nothing.
Looking at his expression, Lin Yongnian knew that he was probably going to give up all his thoughts.
"Oh, father-in-law, please say a few less words and let the children tell you what's going on first!" Mother Zhang was so anxious.
Lin Yongnian snorted, "Do they even need to explain this? It's obvious that they went to the Li family to claim their kinship, but not only did the Li family refuse to acknowledge them, they even beat Lin Guodong up."
Zhang's mother: "No, why don't they recognize me? Why don't they recognize me?"
"Guodong, your uncle beat you because you said something wrong and made your uncle unhappy?" Mother Zhang looked at Lin Guodong and asked.
Zhang Jiao lay on the lounge chair and said, "What did you say wrong? It was Li Shuping who spoke ill of you in front of the Li family. In the eyes of the Li family, you are nothing but ungrateful beasts."
"I've been wanting to deal with Guodong and Lin Jianshe for a long time, to avenge Li Shuping. Now that they've arrived at my doorstep, I have no choice but to take action."
"When Guodong was beaten, didn't Li Shuping stop him?" Zhang's mother asked with a frown.
Zhang Jiao sneered, "She wasn't even at home. When we were kicked out by the Li family, we met her at the door and she even ridiculed us."
Zhang's mother shook her head when she heard this. "How could there be such a mother? Seeing her son being beaten, not only did she not express her heartache, she also ridiculed him."
Lin Yongnian closed his eyes, shook his head and sighed.
Lin Guodong smiled bitterly and said, "In her heart, he is no longer her son."
Zhang's mother: "What are you going to do next? You're not going to give up just like that, are you?"
Zhang Jiao said angrily, "What can we do if we don't give up? People say we won't be recognized and hate us to death. They also say that if we dare to use the name of the grandson of the Li family to show off our power and cheat people, we will learn how to write the word death."
Zhang's mother: "Why do they say that? Guodong is the grandson of the Li family and has Li family blood flowing in his body."
Lin Yongnian: Guodong clearly has the blood of the Lin family flowing in his veins.
Lin Guodong said: "If they don't recognize me, then I'm nothing. Let's just leave it at that."
“Why, why does it end here?” She was still thinking about asking Lin Guodong to recognize her as her own, and also wanted to help her children, Qiang and Erqiang, to become successful.
Lin Guodong felt particularly uncomfortable when he heard this, and said in a somewhat choking tone: "If we don't stop here, do we still have to go up and get beaten?"
He's not a mean person, why would he go up to someone and get beaten?
Zhang's mother's face turned dark. She was the elder, how could Lin Guodong talk to her?
Zhang Jiao looked at the back of Lin Guodong's head unhappily, "Lin Guodong, how do you talk to your mother?"
Lin Guodong turned his head to look at Zhang Jiao, then stood up, took the medicine he had received from the clinic, and went straight into Lin Yongnian's room.
"Dad, go to your room and apply some medicine and lie down for a while."
Lin Yongnian nodded and said, "Go ahead."
"Grandpa, Junjun is hungry." Junjun said, pulling at his grandfather's clothes.
When Lin Yongnian heard his grandson was hungry, he bent down and picked him up. "Are you hungry? Grandpa will take you to the state-owned restaurant to eat braised pork."
After saying that, Lin Yongnian carried Junjun out of the door.
Zhang's mother's eyes twitched. Lin Yongnian wanted to take Junjun to eat braised pork, which was clearly implying that her cooking was not good.
"Mom, help me into the bedroom and lie down on my stomach." Zhang Jiao stretched out her hand and said, "Give me some medicine. When I was at Li's house, I was so scared that I sat down on the ground. My tailbone hurts so much."
Zhang's mother helped Zhang Jiao to the bed in her bedroom. After Zhang Jiao lay down on the bed, she took out the external medicine prescribed by the hospital from the drawer.
Zhang's mother pulled Zhang Jiao's pants down to her buttocks, scooped out a lump of ointment from the ointment bottle, and smeared it on Zhang Jiao's tailbone.
“Ah, it hurts…”
Zhang Jiao grabbed the bed sheet beneath her and cried out in pain.
"Your tailbone is swollen again, doesn't it hurt?" Zhang's mother frowned.
"Speaking of which, are you and Guodong really planning to give up like this? The Li family is so good."
Zhang Jiao was silent for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "What can we do if we don't give up? They don't even want to acknowledge us. You don't know how terrifying Lin Guodong and that grandfather and uncle are. They've killed so many people, and a single look from them can make you breathless."
"When his uncle threatened us, I almost peed my pants..." Just thinking about the situation at that time, Zhang Jiao couldn't help shivering.
"It's really scary."
Although she was reluctant to give up, she did not have the courage to go to the Li family a second time.
Mother Zhang frowned and said, "No matter how scary they are, they are still living people. Besides, this is a new society. No matter how powerful they are, they can't just kill people casually like in the old society."
Zhang Jiao said: "Nowadays, people are not killed casually, but families like the Li family, as long as they move their little finger, they will make ordinary people like us unable to turn over in our lifetime."
"Mom, do you know? Uncle Lin Guodong even found out everything about the fact that he dated Nan Hongcai a while ago."
"What?" Zhang's mother was shocked. "Why is he..."
Zhang Jiao said, "For a family like that, there's nothing they can't find out with just a flick of their fingers."
"Anyway, I don't dare go to the Li family again. I and Guodong are not destined to be rich and noble, so let it be." Zhang Jiao persuaded herself and gave up completely.
Mother Zhang opened her mouth, wanting to persuade her, but then she thought of something and sighed with regret and closed her mouth.
