Chapter 39 Chapter 39 Hong Guo's eyelids jumped. The family that Chang Zong was talking about...
Hongguo and her aunt arrived at the door and saw three people coming back. In front was a man who was a little older than her second uncle, with a smiling face. Changzong and her second uncle were walking behind him.
Second aunt hurriedly introduced: "Hongguo, this is your eldest uncle."
My second aunt said that my eldest and third uncles would not come, but my eldest uncle came. I heard that my eldest uncle is the least promising one in the family, but he likes to act like the eldest brother. I wonder if he just happened to meet him or came here on purpose?
Everyone came back and the food was served. The eldest uncle wanted to have a drink with Changzong, but Changzong said that he had developed the habit of not drinking because he was driving a sports car when he was out.
"Uncle, I drink tea instead of wine," Changzong said.
My uncle was a little unhappy: "How come a man who does great things doesn't drink?"
My second uncle said, "You get drunk every day, but I haven't seen you do anything serious."
My second aunt tried to smooth things over: "When you're out, there are always situations that you can't control. It's a good idea not to drink in the beginning."
Hongguo didn't say anything. She just focused on feeding the little one steamed eggs.
Originally, this meal could have been a very happy one, with the help of my second uncle and aunt, but my eldest uncle came over because he had something to say.
The eldest uncle said, "Changzong, you need to change your vengeful character. Someone reported your grandmother, and you cut off all ties with her. If you are like this, how can you be like this to others? Now you are taking revenge and beating someone's husband so hard that he has to be hospitalized. Your uncle is the deputy director, but he is not your umbrella."
Gu Changzong couldn't get angry directly, so he patiently explained: "Uncle, don't question the Shenzhen police. She called the police and came to arrest me a long time ago if she had evidence. It's because she had no other choice that she started with my relatives. She wanted to leave me isolated and helpless like before so that she could continue to bully me. But I'm no longer the same person I used to be. To put it bluntly, if I wanted to seek revenge on her, she wouldn't have the chance to come to you to provoke me."
The eldest uncle's hair stood on end when he heard this: "Changzong, tell me honestly, before you went to find your second uncle, did you want your second uncle to be your backer?"
Gu Changzong shook his head: "I am the backer myself. I was worried that Guoguo would envy others with academic qualifications, so I went to find my second uncle who has two college graduates in his family. Uncle, you really think too much."
The uncle didn't believe it: "Changzong, do you believe such an outrageous reason?"
The second uncle was about to punch the eldest uncle, and said coldly: "If you want to scold your nephew, you can treat him yourself someday. Today I invited my nephew back for dinner, not to teach you a lesson."
The second aunt was almost mad: "Brother, what do you mean by backing up? Changzong has never begged his uncle. Did you come here today because you don't want to have a good meal?"
The eldest uncle was angry: "Why can't you see the problem? What kind of person is Changzong? Have you all forgotten that the man his mother found had his head broken by him, otherwise how could his mother be so angry with him?"
Jiang Hongguo couldn't bear it any longer, so what if they were his elders? The worst that could happen was that he would just stop associating with them. The people of Changzong were powerful but not good at talking, and if he continued talking, he would be bullied to death.
Jiang Hongguo said, "Uncles, I know everything about what happened today. During the time when Changzong was bullied the most, you didn't believe him. His grandmother was reported, his father didn't love him, and he was criticized as a landlord's kid. He cut off his relationship with you, which also saved your family's status, didn't he? This time, Changzong and I will go to Shenzhen together to find the real murderer who beat her husband and prove that it was not Changzong. Uncle, will you apologize? Will you admit your prejudice against Changzong in front of grandpa and brothers and sisters?"
My uncle laughed: "You just said that the Shenzhen police couldn't find it. Can you find it? If you find it, I will apologize and kneel down to kowtow to you to admit my mistake, okay?"
Hong Guo: "I dare not. It is not necessary to ask uncle to kneel down to his nephew. Since uncle will not apologize properly when he is wrong, there is no need to be a relative. Changzong and I can live well. Second uncle, don't take my life-saving favor to heart. If I have to choose again, I will ask Changzong not to go out that day. Big uncle, you see I have said so much. I really don't want to rely on second uncle. Big uncle, don't worry about your own brother."
Hongguo said this with some anger, but if she spoke nicely, would her uncle believe her?
Hong Guo said, "Our family is not united enough. A disunited family will be like loose sand if touched by others. Outsiders can't do anything to Changzong, so they try to sow discord. Look, they succeeded."
The second uncle has basically understood Hongguo, but Changzong hasn't seen through her yet. However, Changzong loves Hongguo and listens to her advice. As long as Hongguo sticks to the bottom line and doesn't do anything illegal, Changzong won't do that.
The second uncle said, "Hongguo, your eldest uncle is like the broken door of this house. It cannot be replaced, so we can only repair it. He also likes to show off. In fact, the one who takes advantage of his power the most is your eldest uncle. Fortunately, he doesn't act crazy outside. He only acts like a big shot at home to lecture us. We all ignore him. Today, he came running to you two younger generations. You see, even when you talked back to him, your eldest uncle didn't get angry. That's just the way he is."
This statement really didn't give face to my eldest uncle, and he didn't say anything else. I guess his foot had been hurt by my second uncle under the table.
Jiang Hongguo asked again: "Uncle, if Changzong and I find out that the woman's husband was beaten by someone else, will you apologize?"
The second uncle looked stern and said, "Brother, the child is asking you a question."
Second aunt: "Brother, you also have children, you have to set a good example."
The uncle didn't know what he was after, and said aggrievedly: "If you can prove it, I will go to Shenzhen to confront the person who made the complaint and ask the other family to apologize together."
Okay, Hongguo agreed, finished the dinner patiently, and said goodbye to Changzong.
Changzong had no hope for family relationships, and only his relationship with Hongguo was sincere, so he changed his mind.
"Guoguo, I thought too much before. There is no need to envy Duan Zhiqing's path. He was able to succeed in the college entrance examination, and we can also succeed by taking other paths. He has a family, so let's form our own family. I guarantee that it will be more solid than that of my uncles."
Hongguo's eyelids twitched. The family Changzong was talking about must include Lao Zheng.
She understood and supported it: "Okay, then can my friends who are like family members be included?"
Gu Changzong agreed immediately: "Of course someone like Xiao Zheng can do it."
Jiang Hongguo smiled, it’s good to have mutual understanding.
During this trip to Shenzhen, she thought about going to the place where Changzong's husband was beaten, touching the trees and stones, and she would probably be able to see who beat him and help Changzong vent his anger.
Gu Changzong was also thinking, isn't it easy to find the real murderer? He had to think about it, if the real murderer was found, he couldn't let the rumormongers get away with it.
…
The next morning, when I entrusted the little one to Lao Zheng, Xiao Zheng was there too.
Xiao Zheng licked his face and said, "Sister, I will go with you this time. Let's go to Pingzhou to look at the jade materials. I will rely on your vision and buy a few pieces back."
Hongguo was fine, and she also wanted to try out her ability to identify jade materials, so she looked at Changzong pleadingly.
Gu Changzong didn't want to take this light bulb with him, so he asked Xiao Zheng to take a car to Guangdong by himself: "My car can't accommodate you, you wait for us at the Pingzhou Jade Market."
Pingzhou is more than a hundred kilometers away from Shenzhen. As long as Gu Changzong agreed to take a detour, Xiao Zheng would agree to any conditions and happily went to the station to buy a ticket.
Old Zheng shouted, "Xiao Zheng, be careful on the road. If you encounter a robber, don't feel bad about the money. Give the money to the robber. Uncle Qiu will help you vent your anger."
Xiao Zheng felt a pang in his heart. His uncle had become so nice after moving in. He quickly smiled and said, "I know."
Hongguo and Changzong set off. They first drove to Shenzhen to deliver the goods. Originally, Changzong was going to drive at night, but with Hongguo around, they stayed in a guesthouse at night. The car was parked in the yard downstairs and could be seen as soon as the window was opened. They slept until midnight. Changzong went out once. It must be a thief who wanted to take the things in the car.
When Changzong came back, Hongguo asked him why he didn't call the police. Changzong said there was no need to waste time, and he could have a peaceful night after teaching a little thief a lesson.
Changzong drove fast and steadily. The truck had a good view. He could see fields, villages, markets, local customs and people along the way. He stopped several times and bought local specialties at the market, flavors not available in the provincial capital. Hongguo was delighted and did not feel sick of the road at all. He was still not satisfied and said he wanted to eat more on the way back.
Gu Changzong was also happy. Hongguo didn't feel annoyed when she accompanied him on the long journey, and her happiness was not fake. With Hongguo's company, he didn't feel lonely no matter how long the journey was.
After arriving in Shenzhen, they delivered the goods first, handed over and checked the cargo list, and then Changzong took Hongguo to stay in a hotel.
The lobby was so magnificent. Hongguo tried to remain calm and not show any sign of being inexperienced.
Seeing that Changzong was familiar with the place, she asked, "Changzong, have you lived here before?"
Gu Changzong took Hongguo to live in the highest standard room here. He now had the ability to make Hongguo live comfortably. He said that the boss from Hong Kong lived here last time and he visited here when he came here.
Gu Changzong also said: "I wanted to live here that time, but I thought it would be a waste for me to live here alone. Guoguo, you can come and accompany me, and I can live better with you."
Hongguo actually earns quite a bit of money, but she is reluctant to spend money on the best room. However, she is willing to spend money on Changzong and Xiaobutian. Changzong is the same. He is willing to spend money on her no matter how much.
Chang Zong, who was so kind to him, asked her to rest in the prepared room. Hong Guo knew that he was going out to find the person who really beat someone up, so she offered to go with him.
"Chang Zong, if you take me there, I will tell you something about myself, how about that?"
