Chapter 212 Poor Lin Dahai
Lin Dahai, who had only stayed at his relatives' house for two days in Yangcheng, was kicked out by his relatives long ago.
Lin Dahai was too ashamed to admit the foolish things he had done; if others knew, they would all criticize him and say he was out of his mind.
The fact that they provided him with a few meals was already a kind act out of consideration for their kinship; kicking him out of the house wasn't heartless.
He dared not go back to Lu Jianxi's place, so he went to the food factory's dormitory building several more times, hoping to stay at Zhang Cui's house while she was hospitalized and not at home.
Unexpectedly, when Zhang Cui's nephews moved into the house, they wouldn't let him stay at all, and together with the security personnel from the food factory, they kicked him out.
Exhausted and hungry, with his wounds festering, Lin Dahai had no choice but to risk returning to Lu Jianxi's place.
When Lu Jianxi saw him, his eyebrows shot up and his eyes revealed a fierce look.
Lin Dahai trembled at the sight of him, but with Zhao Dongmei not around, he felt more confident.
"What are you doing back here! There's no place for you in my house! Are you deliberately trying to ruin me? You'd be happy if I couldn't get married? You're supposed to be an elder, have you no shame? You old fool, you're practically begging to come back to your death! I'll beat you to a pulp!"
The iron fist landed on Lin Dahai, who was unable to resist, but said, "Go ahead and kill me if you dare. I'll let everyone know that you cheated me out of my job and kicked me out of the house. You ingrate will never find a wife in your life, believe it or not!"
Lu Jianxi stopped.
He sneered, pointing his finger at Lin Dahai's nose and saying, "I lied to you about the job? You old geezer slept with my wife, and you still have the nerve to say that!"
"Smack..."
Lin Dahai's face was red from being slapped, and his mouth was trembling uncontrollably: "Who slept with your wife? Your wife was driven away by you. Who slept with your wife? You heartless man, you'll never be able to get married in this lifetime."
Lin Dahai successfully provoked Lu Jianxi, who, like a raging beast, began to frantically attack his ankle.
Then Lin Dahai let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
Overwhelmed with grief and anger, Lin Dahai shouted, "Hit me! Hit me as hard as you want! If you have the guts, kill me! You'll have to pay with your life! You've made me homeless. Who else can I turn to if not you? Just kill me! I'd rather be dead than alive anyway!"
Lu Jianxi gripped his bleeding ankle tightly and said viciously, "You old bastard, do you want to die? If you want to die, I'll grant your wish. I'm the one who had your foot crippled. If you dare to come back again, I'll beat you to death and bury you, you believe me!"
Lin Dahai had only suspected that he was the one who did it before, but now that he heard him admit it himself, his suspicions were confirmed. He trembled all over and his heart clenched into a ball.
Why doesn't he believe it? He believes it too much!
This beast is utterly lawless.
He wanted to stay here and fight Lu Jianxi to the bitter end, but he was no match for Lu Jianxi at all.
Lin Dahai was ruthlessly thrown out of Lu Jianxi's house.
The neighbors had already heard the commotion.
Some people were afraid to speak up because of Lu Jianxi's fierce face, while others said, "How could you treat your uncle like that?"
Lin Dahai cried out, "He crippled me for the sake of my job, and he even falsely accused me of sleeping with his wife. I gave him all my jobs, and now I have nowhere to go, so he... uh..."
Lu Jianxi kicked Lin Dahai in the waist, causing him to curl up in pain, his face contorted in pain.
Lu Jianxi pointed at the neighbors around him and said fiercely, "I'll see who dares to meddle. Whoever meddles, I'll shut them up."
Lu Jianxi stepped on Lin Dahai's face and said, "Old man, you don't even want your own son. You heartless and ungrateful person, how dare you criticize me? You slept with my wife, so it's only right that you give me your job. If you dare to talk nonsense again, we'll go to the police station to settle this with the police and see if you'll be convicted of indecent assault!"
After those words were spoken, those who had previously spoken out in defense of others fell silent.
The uncle and nephew were both blaming each other, and their words took a while to process.
Neither of them seemed to be lying, and the commotion they made in the middle of the night a while ago wasn't unheard.
Neither of these two looks like a good person.
And so, the neighbors went home, no longer bothered by the sight.
Lu Jianxi kicked Lin Dahai hard again, making Lin Dahai spit blood from his mouth.
"Get the hell out of here! You're a complete coward. You can't even control your own wife or get into your own home. You'd be better off dead."
Lu Jianxi spat at Lin Dahai, turned around and went into the house, leaving the half-dead Lin Dahai outside.
Lin Dahai lay on the ground, crying silently, his face covered in snot, tears, and blood.
He couldn't understand how he had ended up like this, a jobless and divorced loner. What difference would it make if he were dead?
He lay on the ground like that all night, and the next morning, his neighbor, who couldn't bear to see him like that, took him to the hospital.
The doctor looked at his ankle, shook his head and said, "It's not going to heal well. Even when the bone heals, it will be crooked, and he will definitely limp in the future."
Lin Dahai lay on the bed, his face ashen.
He was wrong. His mistake was trusting Lu Jianxi too easily, which ruined himself and his family.
Lin Dahai was miserable, while Lu Jianxi was making great strides. After entering the factory, he heard rumors and started to criticize this person and that person.
Having experienced the benefits of power, a mob turned the factory into a chaotic mess, even halting production.
In just half a month, Lu Jianxi made great strides, seized the opportunity to establish connections, and landed a decent position in the new department.
Zhang Cui had already gone home to recuperate, and before she could even return to work at the factory, she heard that the factory had stopped operating.
She had no idea what was going on outside.
Zhang Cui rode her bicycle to Zhang Lan's house. On her way back, thinking about how chaotic the city was, she simply left her bicycle at her older sister's house.
She didn't know why her heart was pounding so hard, and the pain kept her awake at night. She always felt like something bad was going to happen.
She walked back to the city on her own two feet. When she opened the door, she saw that the house was a mess and that the twins had big red handprints on their faces. Her expression changed immediately.
"What's going on? Has someone come to our house?"
The twins, who had just finished crying, started crying again when they saw their mother.
“Dad’s nephew led a group of people in, beat us up, ransacked the house, and stole all the grain.”
Zhang Cui was furious, but there was nothing she could do about that beast.
She went to her neighbor's house to ask what was going on, and then discovered that Lu Jianxi had stolen her family's grain.
This was Lu Jianxi deliberately retaliating against her.
The neighbor who used newspaper as insoles was taken away, and the neighbors were filled with fear.
Zhang Cui didn't know if going to the police station would be of any use, but she still went to the police station to report the case.
The police told her to go home and wait for news; they would investigate and notify her as soon as they had the results.
Zhang Cui felt that there was still justice, and then the next day at noon, Lu Jianxi came to her door again with his men.
