Chapter 38
The Ge family lived not in the former family building, but in a newly purchased export building.
The export buildings were built in the past two years to attract investment from Hong Kong businessmen. When they were first launched, they were hyped up, saying that only foreign currencies could be used to buy them, and that RMB was not accepted.
As a result, Taocheng's investment promotion was not satisfactory, with only a few small business owners coming, so the export buildings began to be sold externally.
It was at this time that the Ge family bought the export building.
There is an elevator, four bedrooms and two living rooms, and the house area is 180 square meters.
When Jian Li and her family of three arrived, almost everyone was there.
Third uncle Ge Changyuan was answering the phone in the house. Whenever the New Year came, he would be busy answering calls from his colleagues in the hospital and patients he had seen. When he came out after answering the phone, he immediately greeted Jian Feng warmly.
"Brother, why did you come just now? Xiaoli has lost a lot of weight."
Jian Li smiled at her third uncle, whom she knew very little about in either her previous life or this life, and then sneaked to Wang Mengmei's side.
Auntie San brought out a plate of fruit from the kitchen and answered her husband, "I was shocked when I heard you say that before. I thought how could a girl like Xiaoli, who loves beauty, get fat? I couldn't imagine it. Now it seems fine. You were exaggerating."
Wang Mengmei said angrily, "It was only in these few months that she slowly lost weight."
Auntie smiled and said, "That must be because your cooking is so delicious. If I eat the food you cook, I will definitely get fat."
The two youngest sisters-in-law are both very good at dealing with people, and their words are not harsh. Among the sisters-in-law, Wang Mengmei can only say a few words to the third sister-in-law.
The two families were talking and laughing together, and Ge Changjun and his wife were the last to arrive.
Jian Li hadn't seen her fourth uncle for a long time, so she looked at Ge Changjun quietly. It was Chinese New Year, and Ge Changjun was wearing new clothes, a black cotton jacket with a black leather bag tucked into his pockets, and a brick-sized mobile phone in his hand.
Ge Changjun came in and said hello, then went out with a frown to answer the phone. When he came back, he hadn't said a few words before the mobile phone on his waist rang again.
The fourth aunt looked unhappy. When she heard her husband go out to answer the phone, she couldn't calm down and kept looking outside. She was also absent-minded when her sisters-in-law were talking.
While Ge Changjun was out, the third aunt whispered, "The fourth brother has been very busy lately and is not in a good mood."
It's because they are in a bad mood. The Liu family is angry. Although the elders on both sides are not noticeable, they are willing to give Ge Changjun a hard time. Ge Changjun has had several projects stolen by competitors in the past few months, and his hair has turned white with anxiety.
He also wanted to reconcile with the Liu family, but the other party just said one thing and there was no reconciliation.
Originally, they were just a dependent, and now they were dragging the issue of the child having no mother. The Liu family was determined to make Ge Changjun suffer some loss.
Jian Li secretly stood beside the adults and listened to the gossip, feeling very happy.
After the incident a few months ago, Taocheng launched a special operation just like in the previous life, and various units started filling the well vigorously.
Along with the announcement of filling the well, everyone also knew that a group of eighth grade students were planning to throw their classmates into the well.
The news spread like wildfire in the compound. Parents were all afraid and the school took it very seriously. The troublemakers in each class were given a good beating by the school and parents.
The principal of Jianli School was heartbroken: "Not being good at studying is not a big problem. If a person cannot do well, he will be a disgrace to our school and the cotton textile factory."
The principal and the school's strong teachers waited at the gate for a few days and caught a few hooligans who collected "protection fees". Parents of those who were still in school were notified, and those who had already finished school were found home by their former teachers. In the past few months, let alone bullying, they were not even seen at the school gate.
To some extent, Ge Ming has promoted the building of school spirit in local schools.
On the other hand, Mr. Liu's family from the Mathematical Olympiad class was determined to get Ge Ming back, and they wanted to put him in jail for a few years.
Originally, this matter depended on the parents' willingness to reconcile, but now the other party insisted that Ge Ming had committed premeditated murder, with both human and material evidence, and refused all attempts at reconciliation.
Ge Changjun tried both soft and hard tactics, but nothing worked. In the end, he had no choice but to spend a lot of money to hire a lawyer from Beijing for his son.
Jian Li was very disdainful when she heard this. In his previous life, Ge Changjun had an illegitimate child as a backup, so he was unwilling to invest a penny in this useless big account. When his wife wanted to get rid of him, he actually used a method to make his wife leave the house. His attitude was self-evident.
Not only was he not going to deport him, he was hoping that Ge Ming would be sentenced to several more years in prison, preferably until he died.
Ge Ming was eventually sentenced to a heavy punishment. After the sentence, Ge Changjun even held a formal banquet to celebrate his second marriage.
The eldest son should be considered dead, and the younger son cannot continue to live with the label of an illegitimate child.
Jian Li's family did not go to the banquet, but her sister-in-law Ge Yaqin went. When she came back, she said nothing else but that Ge Changjun was very happy and had to be carried back after getting drunk.
Jian Li always felt that given Fourth Uncle's personality, it would be difficult to teach him any good material.
After all, it is true that half of Ge Ming's problems are caused by Huang Guihua and Fourth Aunt's habits, but the other half comes entirely from Ge Changjun.
Ge Changjun works in the construction industry. He is different from Qian Jinlai, a small foreman. He started his own construction company after school using his family connections. The first project he started was the reconstruction of the city's supply and marketing cooperative building. Later, he started to buy various state-owned factories, demolish them and build commercial housing.
In the years around the millennium, Ge Changjun's wealth grew exponentially, and it was not by relying on good men and women.
Of course, he also instilled these "entrepreneurial ideas" into Ge Ming, otherwise Ge Ming would not have repeatedly gotten into trouble at the age of over 30.
Now it's all right. Ge Ming accepted the iron fist of socialism more than ten years earlier. I hope he will be a good person after he is released.
After listening to the corner, Jian Li went to watch TV happily.
The adults gathered in the large study by the balcony to talk, and the TV was in the living room.
As soon as Jian Li arrived in the living room, she saw Huang Guihua with a sullen face.
Her dearest and most beloved grandson was captured, and she has been extremely miserable these past few months.
The child of Ge Changyuan's family is called Ge Cong. He wears glasses and did not say hello when he saw Jian Li coming out. He just looked up and then continued watching his TV program.
Jian Li didn't care. Ge Cong was the most studious child in the family throughout his life.
All the way to Dr.
Unfortunately, the PhD was obtained in Germany.
When Jian Li died suddenly in her previous life, this guy was still in Germany and had not returned. I don’t know how many years it has been.
Jian Li took a handful of melon seeds from the table and started cracking them.
Ge Cong glanced at her, as if he felt that Jian Li was disturbing him from watching TV.
Jian Li handed over some melon seeds: "Do you want to eat some?"
Ge Cong doesn't eat it.
Jian Li continued to eat kaba kaba.
Huang Guihua's longing for her eldest grandson was interrupted by her high spirits.
Huang Guihua got angry as soon as she saw Jian Li.
"Still eating. Even though you're as fat as a pig, you're still eating."
Jian Li had heard Huang Guihua's harsh words many times in her life. Huang Guihua had been scaring her under the pretext of teasing children since she was a child.
"Your parents don't want you anymore and are planning to sell you."
"What are you going to study? Your parents will stop letting you study right away."
"Your biological parents live in the mountains. You were adopted."
Jian Li was always scared when she was little. After returning home, she didn't dare to ask. She just hugged her parents' arms quietly, fearing that her parents would sell her or send her back to her biological parents in the mountains.
Now Jian Li is not used to this old lady.
Huang Guihua was mean to her, but she teased him even more vigorously.
There were expensive nuts in the fruit plate on the table, and she picked them out to eat. Not only did she ate them, she also took some, filling her bag with expensive candies.
He looks like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world.
Huang Guihua was so angry that she wanted to hit her hand. The expensive things she bought were not for this little girl to eat.
Those are all put out for people to see when someone comes to the house on New Year's Day next year.
"Eat, eat, eat, eat! You are the reincarnation of a starving ghost. Look at the pig in the stove, it's thinner than you! How dare you eat! How can you be so shameless, you bastard who has never seen the world?"
After Jian Li finished packing her things, she didn't reply to her and just stuck out her tongue, which made Huang Guihua very angry.
Jian Li made a face: "I'll make you so mad!"
Huang Guihua covered her chest with her hands, looking like she was about to faint from Jian Li's anger.
"You little bastard, what did your parents teach you? You are disrespectful to your elders, you deserve to be struck by lightning!"
Jian Li: "If I'm going to chop you, I'll chop you first!"
Huang Guihua had never thought for such a long time that Jian Feng's family could cause any trouble. But she had never thought that one day, Jian Li would actually scold her in front of her.
Huang Guihua was so angry that her vision went dark.
Jian Li said slowly, "Grandma, I advise you to save your acting skills. If you want to make trouble, why not look at Fourth Uncle?"
Ge Changjun's son asked to be arrested. Besides hating the Liu family the most, he also had a little resentment towards his own mother.
Didn’t you see Ge Changjun come in just now? He didn’t even say hello to Huang Guihua.
Huang Guihua's anger was stuck in her chest, and her eyes were wide open.
Jian Li said gloatingly, "My fourth uncle is in a bad mood today. Go ahead and make a scene. After that, we can just part ways and don't have to eat the New Year's Eve dinner."
Huang Guihua: ...
She wanted to get angry and ignore the consequences, but she was annoyed that Jian Li was right.
She really didn't dare.
Today is the New Year's Eve dinner, and her fourth son, who hasn't been home for several months, has finally come. She was hoping to have a good cry with her son in the evening, and then talk about how difficult it has been for her.
Of course she could make a noise at this time, but just like Jian Li said, if the noise gets out of hand, she won't be able to control it. How would she complain to her little son at night?
Jian Li happily filled her bag and went upstairs humming a song.
Huang Guihua was so angry that she was fuming. She was thinking, why not just not let Jian Feng and his family come next year.
She was just a burden, and we are not part of the family.
Just like the eldest son of the Ge family, Ge Changfeng, even though Ge Changming is the son of the old man and the previous one, didn’t she still ask the old man to divide the property between him and Ge Changming?
Isn’t it good that Ge Changfeng has never come to celebrate the New Year in recent years?
Thinking about how the old man had been looking at her with dissatisfaction recently, Huang Guihua felt that she was really stupid. Why did she have to invite Jian Feng's family to be an eyesore?
Tomorrow she will tell Jian Feng not to come from now on.
Anyway, she doesn't expect to rely on this junk to support her in her old age.
Just as I was thinking about it, the old man of the Ge family came back.
