Chapter 473: The Upper Beam Is Not Straight, The Lower Beam Is Crooked
When Li Ye heard Gao Xiaoyan say "Save this child", he almost thought he was going to encounter the weird situation in his previous life where "three children are not his own".
But after hearing the second half of Gao Xiaoyan's words, he realized that girls of this age could not come up with such shameless ideas.
Gao Xiaoyan wants Li Ye to "cure" Lu Zixue and let Lu Zixue recognize the child. Doesn't that mean that she still wants to marry Lu Zixue, wants a normal marriage, and give the child a normal father?
But before Li Ye could figure out what was going on, his grandmother Wu Juying pulled him aside.
"Xiao Ye, what did you say to her? Even if it's none of your business, you should be careful about the impact and not ruin the girl's reputation."
“.”
Li Ye understood that this was his grandmother Wu Juying's warning to him: grandson, don't look for trouble and don't ruin your own reputation.
Although there is no cyber violence these days, false rumors can still kill people.
But what Wu Juying didn't know was that this whole thing was more or less related to Li Ye.
At that time, Gao Xiaoyan and Lu Zixue were traveling in Beijing. They had sex in a hotel and were then reported and caught red-handed. Li Ye knew about this.
Li Ye also saw the two of them enter the hotel with his own eyes, so Lu Zixue suspected that it was Li Ye who reported them.
I guess Gao Xiaoyan must have hated Li Ye to death at that time.
But now Gao Xiaoyan hopes that Li Ye can help her prove that she and Lu Zixue are really having an affair and that the child is Lu Zixue's.
However, this proof cannot be made public, otherwise Lu Zixue will not be able to live as a human being, and neither will Gao Xiaoyan.
That's why Gao Xiaoyan's mother always wanted to come in and talk.
But Grandma Wu Juying was very determined. Even though Gao's mother pulled her trouser legs and cried her heart out, she refused to let them in.
"Squeak~"
There was a sudden sound of brakes, and the two cars stopped more than ten meters away. Li Zhongfa finally returned from the factory.
The people who got out of the second car were Director Zhou, who is now in charge of the instant noodle factory on the mainland, and two strong middle-aged women.
The middle-aged man and two women squeezed through the crowd and started to scold after entering: "Gao Xiaoyan, I have clearly told you that you have been fired from the factory. Why do you still come to disturb the old factory director?
Your affairs are no longer under the jurisdiction of the factory, let alone the old factory manager, so get up and get out of here."
Although the middle-aged man scolded Gao Xiaoyan and told her to get up and leave, the two women immediately squatted down and dragged Gao Xiaoyan away.
Gao Xiaoyan suddenly hugged Li Ye's calf tightly and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Please, please, they are the ones in charge of family planning, they want to kill my child, please!"
“.”
Li Ye clearly felt that the two women were dragging Gao Xiaoyan with great force, which was indeed too rough for a pregnant woman.
But this is the situation now, as Huang Hong has shown in his skits. If you don't have a birth permit, it is normal to take you away.
Li Ye raised his head and said coldly to the crowd around him: "Are all the men in the Gao family dead? Let two women make trouble here? Let the men come out and solve this matter."
“.”
There was no one pointing fingers around anymore. Everyone was silent, watching the Gao mother and daughter crying in pain.
But Li Ye's eyes were fixed on a middle-aged man.
This man had been watching the Gao mother and daughter from the very beginning. After they began to cry bitterly, he wanted to walk out several times, his eyes filled with deep pain.
Now that Li Ye saw him, he no longer hid. He walked straight to Gao Xiaoyan and reached out to pull Gao Xiaoyan's arm that was around Li Ye's calf.
"Let's go! Girl, let's go home, let go, don't make any more mistakes, be obedient"
“.”
Gao Xiaoyan did not let go of Li Ye's legs, but cried out heartbreakingly: "Dad, I am not wrong, it is not me who is wrong, I am not wrong, why are you torturing me?"
“.”
The two women let go of Gao Xiaoyan and slowly backed away, leaving only Gao's father and daughter and Li Ye.
Gao Xiaoyan's father stared at his daughter blankly, tears streaming down his face.
Then he suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself in the face.
"It's Dad's fault, it's Dad's fault, let's go home, let's go home! This is not your fault, it's all Dad's fault, it's all Dad's fault"
Gao Xiaoyan hugged Li Ye's calves tightly with her arms, then let go.
She grabbed her father's hand to stop him from slapping her again.
"I was wrong Dad, let's go home!"
“.”
Everyone in the audience looked at the Gao father and daughter in astonishment. They couldn't quite believe that such a big scene just now ended so anticlimactically?
It's so confusing!
But Li Ye's heart suddenly became alert.
Because at the moment when Gao Xiaoyan's father slapped himself, Gao Xiaoyan's eyes suddenly changed.
That crazy obsession was gone, and that hysterical insistence on having her child was gone. At first glance, it seemed that she had let it go and calmed down.
But Li Ye, who had extremely keen observation skills, saw empty and dead silence in Gao Xiaoyan's eyes, only empty and dead silence.
Everyone made way for the Gao family's three members to leave.
Gao Xiaoyan supported her father and faced the complicated gazes of everyone around her. She held her head high and looked very strong.
But his father was hunched over and looked so fragile.
Gao Xiaoyan's father was wearing a four-pocket Zhongshan suit. In those days, people who wore such clothes were more or less respectable people, but at this moment, he seemed to have been drained of his energy and spirit, leaving only a desolate and miserable look.
"Wait a minute, wait two minutes."
Li Ye's sudden shout drew everyone's attention and made him the focus of the audience again.
"Why did he call out to the girl?"
"I don't know? But I always feel uncomfortable."
"Today's matter is not simple, not simple."
Li Ye ignored the comments of people around him and pulled his grandfather Li Zhongfa and grandmother Wu Juying aside.
"Grandpa, grandma, you have seen a lot of things. Go check on that girl. I think something is wrong. Please don't let anything bad happen."
"Something bad?"
Li Zhongfa and Wu Juying's expressions turned serious at the same time.
The two old men have been together since the Anti-Japanese War and have experienced countless human tragedies during this period. Naturally, they understand what Li Ye means.
This is not decades later, when a young girl would not take it seriously if she got pregnant. Just like what the fairies in later generations said - as long as there is no child, the second and third marriages are the same as the first.
As of 1984, there were not so many private hospitals, and there were no pain relief or medications. You had to go to a regular hospital.
This is a formal hospital, so the information must be filled in formally, and a letter of introduction may be required. But some things are not formal. It cannot guarantee that the customer's information will not be leaked, and it cannot guarantee that all kinds of rumors will not fly around.
In the social environment in the early 1980s, if you, a girl, had an abortion, could you still get married?
Not to mention this, even if there is no bleeding on the wedding night, it could cause big trouble.
Given Gao Xiaoyan's current condition, if not handled properly, there might be two deaths.
Li Zhongfa thought about it and winked at his grandmother Wu Juying.
"You're making me look red again. Is my face worthless?"
Grandma Wu Juying muttered something and then walked towards Gao Xiaoyan's mother.
She was cold and frosty just now, but now she became much gentler. She chatted with Gao Xiaoyan's mother and asked Gao Xiaoyan a few questions.
After a while, Wu Juying came back with a gloomy face.
"That girl is indeed problematic. Who did we offend? How did we get into this kind of trouble?"
Even if Wu Juying is annoyed with the mother and daughter of the Gao family, she doesn't want to take the risk in this situation. If something goes wrong, do you think it has nothing to do with you, Wu Juying?
Grandpa Li Zhongfa was much more decisive.
He said to Gao Xiaoyan's father in a commanding tone: "You, come in for a moment."
Then Li Zhongfa said to Director Zhou: "Xiao Zhou, come here too, let's have a small meeting."
“Here.”
Director Zhou obviously had something to say, but in the end he followed Li Zhongfa into the Li family's yard.
Li Ye thought about it and followed in.
A few minutes later, Li Ye finally understood the whole story.
Just last month, Gao Xiaoyan could no longer hide the fact that she was pregnant, so she had to urgently contact Lu Zixue who was already attending university in Beijing.
As a result, Lu Zixue did not reply to telegrams or letters.
Gao Xiaoyan was extremely panicked. She skipped work and went to Beijing alone to find Lu Zixue. However, Lu Zixue just gave her some money and asked her to come back and solve the problem herself.
After Gao Xiaoyan came back, she had no choice but to tell her father Gao Zhanming.
Gao Zhanming was also a minor cadre in Qingshui Meat Processing Plant. How could he tolerate such bullying? He immediately went to Liuqiao Township to find Lu Zixue's father and demanded that Lu Zixue must come back immediately to marry his daughter.
Lu Zixue's father was also a little confused and said that he knew nothing, but if this was true, he would definitely not let Gao Xiaoyan down.
Then Gao Xiaoyan stayed at home for a month, waiting for Lu Zixue to come back from vacation.
But when Lu Zixue came back from vacation, he flatly denied what happened between them and refused to admit that the child in Gao Xiaoyan's belly was his.
Gao Xiaoyan almost went crazy, and Gao Zhanming was so angry that he wanted to go to the government to file a complaint.
But if they really file a complaint, the fact that Gao Xiaoyan is pregnant before marriage can no longer be concealed. Besides, the two families will have fallen out, so how can the marriage be concluded?
So Gao Zhanming had to find the instant noodle factory, hoping that Gao Xiaoyan’s unit would come forward to mediate.
In the 1980s, the workplace was the employees’ home, and generally someone would be assigned to take charge of everything.
But family planning is strictly enforced now. In Gao Xiaoyan's situation, who would be willing to take the responsibility?
Anyway, Gao Xiaoyan has been absent from work for a long time, so just fire her. It won't affect the unit's targets.
"How ridiculous! How ridiculous! This is simply too much! How can you be a factory director, Xiao Zhou? It's only been a few months, and you've made such a big joke?"
Li Zhongfa was furious. He had just let Director Zhou take over a few months ago, and this was the result.
He had heard somewhat about Gao Xiaoyan being fired, but he didn't know it was for this reason!
Director Zhou was also embarrassed and said: "Old Director, how dare I publicize this kind of thing! If everyone knows about it, the child will not be able to survive."
At this point, Director Zhou suddenly understood why Li Ye called Gao's mother and daughter.
Li Ye sighed and said to Gao Zhanming: "The person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it. You still need to talk to the Lu family about this matter."
"I'll call them and ask them to come over. As for how you guys negotiate and how you guys argue, you guys should solve it yourselves."
Gao Zhanming's eyes suddenly lit up, and he kept nodding at Li Ye. The man in his forties couldn't stop crying.
Director Zhou couldn't help but ask Li Ye: "What if Lu Zixue refuses to admit it? Can't we suppress this kind of thing by force?"
“Heh~”
Li Ye smiled helplessly: "Since they came to me, it's because I can prove it!"
"Um?"
Li Zhongfa and Director Zhou both looked at Li Ye in confusion.
Li Ye had no choice but to tell everyone what happened in the capital. At this point he could no longer hide it for the sake of the Gao family's face.
"It's ridiculous. How can a person with this kind of character be worthy of attending university?"
"Lao Gao, why didn't you tell me this earlier? With this kind of evidence in his hand, how dare he not marry your daughter?"
Gao Zhanming squatted on the ground, covering his face, and sobbed sadly: "It's shameful, I only have this one daughter, how can I let her live! And I have connections, both in the county and in the capital."
In Gao Zhanming's eyes, Lu Jingyao was able to rescue the person from the police station in Beijing, which was of great significance.
The relationships within the county are intriguing.
"It doesn't matter."
Li Zhongfa spat angrily and said harshly: "The Lu family is just a bunch of rotten things."
