Zhuang Tunan watched everything unfold before him. He wanted to help, but he was confined by his wheelchair and couldn't get involved.
"Zhuang, I need a newspaper!"
Zhuang Tunan turned his head and saw Zhou Chengzhi. He said, "Take it and look at it! It's not worth much money, consider it a gift from me!"
Zhou Chengzhi smiled and said, "Thank you, Engineer Zhuang, but you're running a small business, so you need to cover your costs too!"
As he spoke, Zhou Chengzhi took out his wallet, pulled out a fifty-yuan note, and put it on the wire bed, saying, "Keep the change, this is extra as a tip!"
Just as Zhuang Tunan was about to refuse, Lin Dongzhe walked over, picked up the fifty-yuan note, handed it to Zhuang Tunan, and said, "Brother, take it! Don't turn down money!"
Zhuang Tunan glanced disdainfully at the fifty-yuan note and said, "I find it dirty!"
Before Lin Dongzhe could speak, Zhou Chengzhi said first, "Engineer Zhuang, why bother? Don't ruin your relationship over a woman. How about I have Li Jia apologize to you tomorrow?"
Upon hearing Li Jia's name, Zhuang Tunan's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What? You two are together?"
"Hmph, how could I possibly be so lucky? Li Jia is too aloof. You're useless; she won't have anything to do with you!"
"In that case, you should stay away from her!"
"Yes, I can stay away, but if Engineer Zhuang still wants to be with her, I can act as a matchmaker for you!"
Lin Dongzhe said to Zhou Chengzhi in an annoyed tone, "You'd better stay away from my sister-in-law. If it weren't for Pengfei's sake, I would have beaten you up!"
Zhou Chengzhi suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Haha, alright, I'm weak and ignorant, I'm stupid and incompetent, I'm a pushover for you to manipulate, okay!"
"Since you have the self-awareness, then get lost!"
Zhou Chengzhi glared at Lin Dongzhe with a sinister look on his face, and then said, "We'll see. Oh, and by the way, keep an eye on your dad. Don't let him hurt his back while walking. Liu Jian is a prime example!"
"you,,!"
Lin Dongzhe clenched his fists, about to rush forward and fight Zhou Chengzhi, but Zhuang Tunan grabbed him and said, "Why bother with him? It's not worth it!"
What's even more infuriating is that when Zhou Chengzhi saw Zhuang Tunan grabbing Lin Dongzhe, he actually made a face at Lin Dongzhe and then stuck his middle finger up.
Lin Dongzhe wanted to break free from Zhuang Tunan's pull, but he was afraid that if he used too much force, he would knock Zhuang Tunan down again, so he stopped.
Zhou Chengzhi turned around, raised his hand high, waved goodbye, and left.
Lin Dongzhe said to Zhuang Tunan, "Brother Tunan, why are you stopping me?"
Zhuang Tunan said, "It's best to let the police deal with these illegal businessmen. If you take action, you'll only get implicated and it won't do any good!"
Just as Zhuang Tunan finished speaking, Lin Wufeng, carrying a file folder, walked over from a distance.
He walked up to Zhuang Tunan and asked, "What's going on? Why are there so many people on the road?"
"Was there a car accident?"
"Really? Is it serious? Do you know them?"
Zhuang Tunan pointed to the kindergarten across the street and said, "Liu Jian might have been hit and killed!"
"Really? What a fitting end!"
Zhuang Tunan asked, somewhat puzzled, "Uncle Lin, what do you mean by that?"
"The reason I left the cotton mill back then was because Liu Jian's father reported me; otherwise, I would have become a leader in the cotton mill too!"
"Why didn't you say so back then?"
Why would I tell you? Wouldn't it be better to avoid trouble?
"But Liu Jian's death was too tragic!"
At this moment, Lin Wufeng said to Lin Dongzhe, "How's it going? You brat, have you seen your mother yet?"
Lin Dongzhe scratched his head and said with a smile, "I saw it. It kicked me and hit me on the head with two big pears!"
"Your mother is being lenient; if it were me, I'd break your legs!"
Lin Dongzhe instinctively backed away and said, "No, Dad, it's a misunderstanding. I've been framed!"
"I know, I've seen it on the computer!"
"You've seen it, aren't you going to explain it to my mom?"
"How am I supposed to explain this? You went to college, so you know what's going on. Did your mother go to college? Besides, can you reason with a woman? Just admit your mistake first, then explain it to her. Once she's vented her anger and understands what happened, it'll all be over!"
Lin Dongzhe suddenly laughed and said, "I know, Dad! Thank you for your understanding. I can avoid getting a spanking now."
As Zhuang Tunan watched Zhuang Xiaoting and Song Ying emerge from the kindergarten, before they even got close, he asked, "How did it go? Have you calmed them down?"
Zhuang Xiaoting nodded and said, "He's calmed down and is lying down!"
"Oh, it's good that you've calmed them down!"
Song Ying smiled and said to Lin Wufeng, "You've seen your son, but you haven't given him a gift yet, have you?"
Upon hearing that there was a gift, Lin Dongzhe hurriedly asked Lin Wufeng, "Dad, did you bring me a gift?"
"The 'meeting gift' she's talking about is beating you up, and it'll be a double beating, men and women! Do you want it? I guarantee you'll get a good spanking!"
Lin Dongzhe took another step back and said, "Forget it, I think we should just let it go!"
Song Ying then muttered, "Sigh, Liu Jian died a tragic death! Wu Shanshan is going to be a widow at such a young age, her life is so miserable!"
Lin Wufeng said to Song Ying, "Don't you think this is retribution for the Liu family?"
"Respect the dead, don't say that!"
As if struck by a sudden inspiration, Lin Dongzhe exclaimed, "Mom, hurry home and check! The pot's still sitting on the stove!"
Song Ying suddenly raised her arm and slapped Lin Dongzhe a few times before saying, "Hey, you little rascal, you just reminded me! The rice is definitely going to burn this time!"
As he spoke, he led Zhuang Xiaoting, and the two of them ran towards the alley entrance.
After watching Song Ying leave, Lin Wufeng took out the file folder from under his arm and said to Lin Dongzhe, "I just bought a courtyard house, nearly 200 square meters in size. I'm thinking of building a shopping mall there. What do you think?"
Lin Dongzhe exclaimed with delight, "Really, Dad? That's great! I haven't told you yet, but I resigned from my job and registered a new company called Suzhou Department Store & Trade Co., Ltd."
Where did you get so much money?
“I didn’t put in much money; the bulk of it came from Brother Ada. We started the business together, splitting the profits 50/50. He provided the goods, and I distributed them throughout Suzhou.”
"I knew you were broke. You bought two apartments in Shanghai, where would you have any savings? But I never expected Ada to cooperate with you!"
Lin Dongzhe suddenly said with a hint of pride, "Sometimes, your son is quite popular in other people's eyes, but you and Mom think he's worthless!"
"Alright! Don't get cocky. If my supermarket opens, I'll give you half of it. How about we split the profits 50/50?"
"You mean you want me to supply you with goods, and you just provide the space, then sit back and reap the benefits?"
"Let me tell you, don't be ungrateful. I've already done more than enough by giving you a 50/50 split!"
"Hehe, it'll all be mine eventually, why bother with splitting it 50/50?"
"Pah! If it weren't for the strict family planning policy, I would have given you a piece of the family fortune to fight over, and made you lose half of it!"
"Sure, Dad, as long as you're interested, I'll cover my brother's milk powder. Whether you raise one or two kids, it's fine!"
"Get out of here, you're so unserious!"
"Uncle Lin, your family is reunited now, right?"
Xiang Pengfei came over with a small red booklet and handed it to Zhuang Tunan, saying, "Brother Tunan, this is my marriage certificate. I'm married! I'll be treating everyone to dinner tonight, so save your stomachs!"
Lin Wufeng looked at Xiang Pengfei's marriage certificate and said, "Back then, our marriage certificate was just a piece of paper, folded in half, very simple. Now it's all become a document!"
Xiang Pengfei then said to Lin Wufeng, "I was worried that you and Aunt Lin would go to Guangzhou ahead of time, so I came to the house first to let my brother Tu Nan see the marriage certificate, and then we'll go to the hospital to let my uncle and aunt see it, so that my aunt can feel better!"
Lin Wufeng nodded and said, "Yes, you are indeed filial!"
Zhuang Tunan returned Xiang Pengfei's marriage certificate to him and said, "Go! Be careful on the road!"
"Okay!"
After agreeing with Zhuang Tunan, Xiang Pengfei turned to Lin Wufeng and said, "I'm leaving, Uncle!"
"Hey!"
Lin Dongzhe tugged at Pengfei's arm and said, "Brother Pengfei, take me there! I haven't been to the hospital to see Mom yet!"
