As soon as the captain arrived at the brigade headquarters, Han Zhenyu came to him.
"Hey, Zhenyu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you on a business trip again?" The team leader enthusiastically gave him a seat, and the accountant even poured him a glass of water.
"Thank you, uncle." Han Zhenyu quickly took the water and said to the captain without saying hello:
"Captain, my troublesome old man asked me for 40 years of pension money, but I can't afford it. He and Yang Lanhua went to our factory to make trouble, and someone from the factory just came to inform me and asked me to come over for questioning."
Han Zhenyu sighed heavily, and then pretended to be helpless and said: "Captain, if you are not busy, please go to the factory with Uncle Youlai and Uncle Sun Quan to help me testify and tell me the agreement we made when we separated."
The team leader and the accountant were stunned. They had also heard about the old lady of the Du family scolding Han Baoguo yesterday.
At first, I didn't believe it, thinking it was just a rumor from the women in the village. I also thought Han Baoguo wouldn't do such a thing. I didn't expect that they had overestimated that family.
The captain asked, "Zhenyu, is your father really asking you for forty years of pension money?"
Han Zhenyu smiled bitterly, "Captain, they all went to my factory to make trouble, how could this be false? The old man and Yang Lanhua asked me to take out the pension for 40 years in one lump sum, which is more than a thousand yuan. Where do you think I can get it for them?"
The captain shook his head, thinking that Han Baoguo and Yang Lanhua's eating habits were ugly and embarrassing for the people of their Sanhua Brigade.
He didn't hesitate and said, "Okay, I'll go with you to see what they want to do. You're so old, you're really going backwards. You don't even know what your face is anymore."
"Then I'll trouble you, Captain." Han Zhenyu thanked him and went to call Han Youming and Sun Quan.
The two were very angry when they heard this. They dropped their work and followed Han Zhenyu to the city without saying a word.
………
When they arrived at the machinery factory's union, Han Baoguo sat there stiffly.
Yang Lanhua was complaining to the union official, saying how difficult her life was, how hateful Han Zhenyu and his wife were, and that Su Xieqiu had beaten her.
When the union chairman saw Han Zhenyu coming, he nodded to him silently.
The two had dealt with each other several times and were pretty familiar with each other. But in such an occasion, it was not convenient for them to say hello, so as to avoid anyone thinking too much.
A few months ago, Xie Wenli asked Han Zhenyu to bring a bicycle from the provincial capital.
Last time Han Zhenyu went on a business trip to the south, he brought her a lot of brown sugar and kelp. The price was half of what the supply and marketing cooperative offered, and he didn't even ask for a ticket.
Xie Wenli kept all these in mind.
Han Baoguo saw Han Zhenyu bringing so many people, and he didn't dare to look up. Yang Lanhua, who was talking to others, also shut up.
If it were in the past, Grandma Du would have called him long ago, but this was at her grandson's factory, and she had to save face for him and couldn't be so aggressive, lest others laugh at her grandson in the future.
So Grandma Du said nothing and stood by and waited with Su Xieqiu.
Han Zhenyu looked at Han Baoguo with a helpless look, sighed, and then said to the union members apologetically: "Dear leaders, I am sorry to cause you trouble because of my family affairs."
Xie Wenli said sternly, "Comrade Han, your parents said you were unfilial. You have made a name for yourself, but you don't care about your younger brothers and sisters. You beat them and don't give them pension money. Is that true?"
Han Zhenyu gave a bitter smile, but before he could say anything, Grandma Du walked up to Xie Wenli and asked politely.
"Leader, I'm Han Zhenyu's grandmother. Can I have a few words with you?"
Seeing that the old lady was so polite, and she was Han Zhenyu's grandmother, Xie Wenli immediately smiled and said, "Old lady, please speak."
Grandma Du sighed, "Alas, this matter should not be my business, but my daughter left after giving birth to Zhenyu. Not long after, Han Baoguo married a young...second wife."
"People say that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. This is absolutely true. Yang Lanhua treated my grandson as a thorn in her side. When he was only four or five years old, she made him work in the fields to earn work points. In the middle of winter, she even made him go into the mountains alone to find food. If he couldn't find any, she would beat and scold him. There was not a single good thing about this little kid."
Yang Lanhua wanted to interrupt her, but Grandma Du didn't even give her a chance to interrupt. She wiped her tears and continued:
"By the time we found out, the child had been tortured by his stepmother until he was almost dead. I took my son with me, and my daughter beat up Han Baoguo, then took Zhenyu away. We raised him until he was about ten years old and was able to work, then we sent him back."
Xie Wenli felt very sympathetic after hearing this. She patted Grandma Du's hand comfortingly and pulled her to sit on the chair next to her. "Old lady, please speak slowly."
"Thank you." After sitting down, Grandma Du wiped her tears with a handkerchief, pointed at the captain and the others, and said to Xie Wenli:
"Leader, everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can ask them. They all know what happened back then."
Han Zhenyu quickly introduced them, "Chairman Xie, this is our team leader Han Hongbing, that is my cousin Han Youming, and this is my uncle Sun Quan, they are all witnesses to the separation of the old house and me."
Han Youming didn't even look at Han Baoguo and Yang Lanhua, and said to Xie Wenli, "Chairman Xie, I can testify that what Zhenyu's grandmother said is true. That couple never cared about Zhenyu at all. If it weren't for Zhenyu's grandparents, the child would probably have died long ago."
Sun Quan said bluntly: "Yes, that's the case. Although Han Baoguo is Zhenyu's biological father, he didn't take care of him much. Zhenyu was raised by his grandparents, so he has little to do with this couple."
The captain would not hide anything for the couple and told the truth, including the fact that Han Zhenyu and his wife were kicked out of the house.
