Gu Jianfa was clearly the one who did something wrong, but his shouts were even louder than the old lady's scolding. He could hear it clearly through his phone, and he guessed that the neighbors next door must have heard it too.
They kept shouting that Chen Baosheng must have cheated, spouting all sorts of nonsense, basically saying things like "kill him," and blaming the losers for Chen Baosheng's wins.
I am innocent; I am a victim.
Why.
It's difficult to evaluate.
He wasn't ashamed at all.
Gu Jianfa has definitely lost all sense of shame.
However, the old lady and Gu Anran were still people who cared about their reputation. Gu Anran didn't say anything, but she must have felt bad inside.
Wu An listened and dared not speak, for the saying "making use of waste" was absolutely correct.
Even garbage has value.
Wu Anxin said: You damned uncle, you're lucky.
For Gu Anran's sake, I'll help you out and beat up Chen Baosheng for you.
oh.
So you want to break Chen Baosheng's left hand too?
Okay, okay.
This is a small matter, I, your nephew-in-law, will take care of it for you.
Chen Baosheng is left-handed. Yesterday, while playing cards, he used his left hand to flip the cards, defeating Gu Jianfa and several others.
He boasts of being the "left hand of a god."
Gu Jianfa kept yelling that he wanted to chop off the kid's left hand.
If he were just beaten up randomly, Chen Baosheng might think it was retaliation, and Boss Chen would also suspect him. But if his left hand was precisely targeted...
Then Chen Baosheng's suspicions would be very accurately pinpointed to gambling.
The suspect then becomes obvious.
As for whether Gu Jianfa will be implicated, whether he will be retaliated against, whether he will…
Who cares?
Wu Anke can't possibly worry about that much.
We'll see.
Dogs fighting, a mouthful of fur.
Just bite it.
Gu Anran asked curiously, "What's the matter that you're calling about?"
Wu An said, "My dad said he wants both sets of parents to meet, and he asked me to ask you to schedule a time."
"Huh?" Gu Anran exclaimed in surprise.
Clearly, Wu An's sudden remark caught her off guard.
After a while, she said, "It won't work these next few days. Gu Jianfa is probably going to make a scene at home for a few days, and I also need to go to the county to get medicine for my grandma."
"I can't say for sure in a short time."
"I'll discuss it with my grandma tonight."
"Okay, there's no rush. I just wanted to let you know." Wu An changed the subject and asked, "When are you going to the county?"
"I'll go with you then."
"Let's arrange a date while we're at it."
Gu Anran hesitated for a moment: "Okay, my grandma's medicine can last for four more days, we'll go the day after tomorrow."
"Got it." Wu An wrote it down, and the two chatted for a while longer before hanging up.
Wu An called A Jin.
Connected.
Ah Jin said, "Brother An, I've already sent people to look for him, but there's still no news."
Wu An said, "The person might be in the casino."
"Besides beating him up, we'll also break his left hand."
"I don't know much about this. Just give me a price."
Akin asked, "Why did you break your left hand?"
Wu An said, "That kid is left-handed and a gambler. He was lucky and won money, so he thought his left hand was special."
"Break his left hand."
"He would think it's revenge from a gambler who lost money."
"There's a high chance they won't suspect me."
Originally, he planned to confront the Chen family head-on and let them know he was not someone to be trifled with. But after thinking about it, he realized that while it might feel good, it would have endless consequences.
It would be better to shift the blame elsewhere.
Not only did they succeed in their revenge, but they also caused trouble for the Chen family. With such a deep grudge as Chen Baosheng having his arm broken, Chen Laoda probably wouldn't have time to plot against him and Lao Futou anymore.
Ah Jin suddenly realized: "You and my boss are really thinking the same thing."
"Um?"
Ah Jin explained, "My boss also asked me to investigate whether Chen Baosheng had done anything else. If all else fails, he told me to leave some clues so that the Chen family would investigate my boss."
Wu An was stunned, not expecting Gao Qiangqi to go to such lengths to help him!
"Please thank your boss for me... uh... never mind, I'll just call Brother Qiang myself." Wu An asked A Jin how much money he needed, but A Jin wouldn't say, indicating that his boss wouldn't allow it.
He transferred 10,000 yuan directly to him, saying he could take more if it wasn't enough.
Akin said, "That's enough, that's enough."
Wu An didn't argue with him. He hung up the phone and called Gao Qiangqi, but couldn't get through. He sent a message, and Gao Qiangqi replied after a long time, "I saw before that you didn't want to get involved in this. It's better that you didn't. It's cleaner. This doesn't mean anything to me..."
...
After Wu An finished making the call and returned home, Wu Yingwei asked, "Why did it take so long? What did they say?"
Wu An took a sip of water and said, "She said she'd ask the old lady, and she also invited me to meet her in the county the day after tomorrow."
"If we're to meet, the earliest would be next week."
Wu Yingwei nodded and said, "Okay, I'll prepare something else too."
Don't say it.
He was quite nervous about meeting his parents.
This is a big deal.
We've eaten.
The family chatted for a while, and Wu An told them about his recent situation. His family was still quite concerned about his investment in a homestay in the town's village.
My dad and older brother are still the same as always, nothing much to say.
My sister-in-law said she wants to build chicken and duck coops so she can catch more chickens and ducks to raise. She says the food at home is good now, and she always buys food, but she doesn't know if it's good or not. She thinks it's better to raise them herself so she can feel more at ease.
Aside from health issues, the most important reason was that it wasn't cost-effective, though my sister-in-law didn't say it directly.
In response to this.
Wu An was still very supportive.
My father and older brother both agreed, but they just didn't have time to get things done.
The sister-in-law angrily rebuked the two of them, saying they were always busy and never home, and they didn't bring any money home. They just said nice things and waited to be served.
The father and the eldest brother immediately fell silent.
Dad was smoking silently, while the older brother was playing with his hands.
Wu An sipped his tea, watching with a cheerful expression.
“Don’t laugh, you’re never home…” Wu Anxin thought to himself, “Why am I being targeted?” But his sister-in-law changed the subject: “Going to sea is so hard, don’t always eat out. The food outside is oily and salty. It’s okay to eat it occasionally, but your body won’t be able to handle it if you eat it every day.”
"Let's eat at home. Anyway, your sister-in-law is a free person at home. No matter when you come home, there will always be a hot meal."
You know that, right?
Wu An nodded hurriedly.
The old man and the eldest brother looked up and glanced at each other, feeling rather uneasy.
Not long ago, Wu An's status at home was not as high as that of the chickens and ducks they raised.
But now, the two of them combined are probably not even worth a single hair on Wu An's leg.
certainly.
It's not that my sister-in-law is being materialistic; they both really deserve to be criticized.
Wu Yingwei's salary is not high.
Wu Ping is a private school teacher whose salary is already low, and he also sponsors students who have difficulty attending school.
Despite being located on the coast, their remote location means their economic situation is only slightly better than that of the islands.
It's not that they're so poor they can't afford to eat; they can meet their basic needs. However, educational resources and teaching environments are still quite lacking.
There are some kids here who drop out of school before finishing junior high, or who find work to earn money after finishing junior high, like Aqing.
Wu Ping said more than once that he hoped to change the situation, but everyone just laughed it off. In everyone's opinion, this kind of thing is not something that one person can change.
Wu An used to think so too, but now that he's been reborn, he knows that one person's strength is indeed insignificant. But if you want to gather the strength of the majority, you need someone to step forward first.
He still supports his older brother in this matter.
But right now, facing the gazes of his father and elder brother, he could only shrug helplessly. He must be crazy to run into his sister-in-law's gun.
After putting down his teacup, Wu An walked home.
The rain is still falling.
The night was very dark.
I thought to myself, what perfect weather for a dirty trick.
