Chapter 222 Son?

The three of them found the gatekeeper and after a long hesitation, they approached him and hesitantly explained their purpose.

The gatekeeper was enthusiastic, "You have to let your son write a poverty application."

"Our son is away on a business trip."

"Then you have to find your son's unit."

"My son's unit leader is not here, and no one else can be found."

"Then you have to find the superior unit."

"What is my son's superior unit?"

After asking around, Chen's father found out that his son's superior unit was not the Provincial Revolutionary Committee. He could not borrow money or food from the Provincial Revolutionary Committee, but had to go to the Provincial Military District to borrow.

Chen's father and mother began to ask where the Provincial Military District was and how to get there.

The gatekeeper said, "Wait a minute, I'll make a phone call to help you."

After a while, the gatekeeper looked at Chen's father and said, "Wait a minute, a police officer will come to help you handle it."

When he heard that the police were coming, Chen's father became nervous again, "We didn't do anything wrong, did we?"

"No, don't worry, the police know better."

Chen's father and the other two waited shivering at the gate. It was late afternoon and the wind was howling. Their cotton coats were not thick enough, and they felt chilled to the bone when the north wind blew.

After waiting for a long time, a tall and burly police officer with a beard strode over.

The gatekeeper took the initiative to say, "This is Captain Yuan from the Public Security Bureau. You can follow him."

Yuan Lijun is the squadron leader of the Public Security Bureau of the Qizhou Municipal Revolutionary Committee, and Yang Shumin's husband. He was asked by Lin Shu to "take care" of Chen's father and mother.

It's not that she wants to do anything to them, but the main thing is that they can't go around talking nonsense in the name of Chen Yanming, let alone borrow money in the name of Chen Yanming. She doesn't want people to see Chen Yanming's jokes.

Every family has its own problems, but everyone likes to see other people's excitement.

Yuan Lijun received Lin Shu's instructions, so naturally he would not be enthusiastic about Chen's father and mother, but would handle official business impartially, and even with a bit of dignity.

People are afraid of officials, and so are Chen's father and mother.

Father Chen: "Captain Yuan, you, you know my San Gou... Third Son?"

Yuan Lijun said in a businesslike tone, "I am a police officer, I know everyone in my jurisdiction, if you have anything to say, you can come to our unit."

He led the three people to an office in the Public Security Bureau, and asked his apprentice to pour water for the three people and make a record.

Father Chen then told them about their family situation, that their third son was away on a business trip, and that they came in a hurry without much money and food coupons, so they wanted to borrow from the government.

Yuan Lijun: "Why didn't you borrow from your colleagues?"

Chen's father looked embarrassed, and Chen's mother said bluntly: "I borrowed it. I don't know why that comrade didn't show up. His wife is very stingy and looks down on us."

Zhang Juying: "Yes, we used a little oil from her to cook, and she asked us to pay. Public Security Comrade, aren't the kitchen and toilet in your family compound public? If she can use it, we can use it too, right? Why doesn't she let us use it?"

Yuan Lijun: "The place is public, the stove and seasoning belong to others, of course they can't be used together."

He looked at the three people and felt a headache, and felt deep sympathy for Chen Yanming.

If this Chen Ju was at home, he would definitely be forced to marry, but now that he is not at home, his parents will embarrass him everywhere.

Lin Shu meant that it would be best for the three of them to give up and leave voluntarily, but Yuan Lijun tested it and found that the three of them had little money and could not even afford the return train tickets.

What's even more frightening is that they don't want to go back at all. They think their son has potential and they want to come and enjoy the happiness with their younger son.

"I won't go back, and I won't go back in the future. We have to live in the city with our son."

"Yes, his second brother and his family will be here in a few days. Then my brother will also have a helper."

Yuan Lijun was shocked. Not only did he want Bureau Chen to take care of him in old age, but he also had to take care of his second brother and his family? Well, there is also a daughter-in-law arranged in my hometown.

In what era did we still have arranged marriages?

Yuan Lijun told them seriously that arranged marriages are illegal, and "interfering with the freedom of marriage will result in a criminal sentence."

Chen's mother immediately shouted, "This is not arranged, it was agreed by my third son. We arranged it for him when he came home that year, and we had a banquet."

Yuan Lijun: "That has to be acknowledged by Comrade Chen Yanming. If he doesn't acknowledge it and there is no formal marriage certificate, then we are not married."

He also explained to them the marriage process for soldiers, "You have to apply for a marriage. If he gets married without an application, it is illegal. In serious cases, he will be expelled."

"Why are you so overbearing?"

"Marriage has always been decided by parents, and our ancestors have always been like this."

Yuan Lijun ignored their nagging, "This is the government's regulation, and it is illegal to disobey it."

Zhang Juying was anxious and pulled Chen's mother's clothes.

Chen's mother hurriedly said, "Anyway, our hometown recognizes that they are married. How can we not recognize it after the wedding night? At most, we can wait for the third son to come back and let him go to the marriage registration office."

Zhang Juying: "Marriage application."

Chen's mother: "Yes, wait for the third son to come back and let him go to the marriage registration office, and then we will have the certificate."

Chen's father found that they were questioned by Yuan Lijun, but they didn't talk about the borrowing money and grain coupons for a long time, so he brought it up again.

"Comrade Public Security, we have to borrow money from the military district and deduct it from the third brother's salary."

He only wanted to control Chen Yanming's salary, but he didn't dare to take advantage of the public. If he borrowed money, he had to pay it back.

Yuan Lijun was still confused about what Chen's mother said about the wedding night. It must not be true. He said, "Old Comrade Chen, you got it wrong. Comrade Chen Yanming's salary is paid by the capital. You have to ask the capital."

Chen's father and the other two looked confused. "We want to borrow money? Do we have to borrow from the capital?"

Yuan Lijun said, "Comrade Chen Yanming is not under the jurisdiction of the provincial military region or our Revolutionary Committee, but under the jurisdiction of the capital."

Chen's father and mother were old and were confused. Zhang Juying said, "We just want to borrow some money and food coupons from the government for emergency use, and we will pay it back when my third brother comes back."

It's not an advance on salary. It's just a loan. Why do we have to borrow from the capital?

Chen's mother immediately said, "Yes, Captain Yuan, can you lend it to us?"

If Lin Shu hadn't informed them, Yuan Lijun would have lent them money without hesitation, but knowing that they were causing trouble for Chen Yanming, he naturally refused to lend them money.

"I'm sorry, my salary is barely enough to spend every month. The expenses in this city are high and life is not easy. I spend all the salary as soon as I get it." Of course, he would not lend a penny.

Chen's mother and father looked at each other. Why are the cadres in this city so stingy? They

are not as good as the cadres in the commune. They would give them money when they went to borrow money from the commune.

There are still ten yuan in hand, and less than fifteen kilograms of grain coupons, which can't last for a few days.

When this son is in front of them, they can still make trouble with him, not afraid that he will not give them money, but when he is not in front of them, who are they going to play tricks on?

If there was a leader, colleague or subordinate who was good to their sons and was a little enthusiastic towards them, they would have gotten close to them. But who knew that there was none.

People in this city are really picky!

The third child is doing really badly!

Father and mother Chen recalled what they said when they were young: "The second child is smart and knows how to handle things, so people like him. The third child is lonely and like a puppy. He can't talk or handle things, so people don't like him and he will definitely have no future."

See, they were right. The third child is such a person that no one likes him. He doesn't even have a close friend.

Since no one wants to lend money, they can only hope that the second child and his family will bring more money and food coupons when they come.

It is not easy to live in this city. You need money to eat, drink water and go to the toilet. There is no firewood, so you need money to make a fire.

Hey, why haven't the third brother and the bastard come back yet?

The three of them returned to the family compound in a low mood. They wanted to borrow money from people they met on the way, but no one was willing to lend them money.

When they returned to the third floor, they found that they had no stove or pot. What should they do for dinner?

Why is it so difficult to live in the city?

Father Chen asked Mother Chen and Zhang Juying to borrow from Lin Shu, but Lin Shu locked the door and was not at home.

They went downstairs and knocked on the doors of other rooms. There was originally a small house, but they were all locked...

Father Chen was furious.

Without the help of the three, they could only go back to the house with empty stomachs to rest early.

In the middle of the night, the three woke up hungry and drank cold water.

After a lot of hard work, they waited until the next morning. When the canteen in the front yard opened, they took the money and food coupons to buy steamed buns and get hot water.

Meanwhile, Lin Shu and her mother-in-law were taking Grandma Fang and her two children on a trip nearby.

In early winter, although the temperature was a little low, the sky was high and the clouds were light, the air was cool and fresh, and the mountains were covered with forests in red, golden, yellow, and yellow-green. The various colors overlapped layer by layer, and the rich colors looked very beautiful under the blue sky.

Not only Lin Shu and Fang Dihua, but even Grandma Fang and Pan Pan Tiantian felt what it meant to be refreshed.

It was the first time for Panpan and Tiantian to see the yellow and red maple and ginkgo trees, so they picked leaves and fruits from everywhere, packed them in their schoolbags, and took them back to show their families.

Grandma Fang: "Oh, I'm so old, and this is the first time I know what it feels like to be idle."

When I was young, I worried about food and clothing, whether my husband was safe outside, and whether I could support my children. Later, when my family was a little easier to manage, I had a house and land, and I was worried about others robbing and soldiers extorting. Later...

Anyway, I never felt at ease in my life.

Today, I actually enjoyed the joy of traveling.

"Hua'er, the old saying is right. You have to live as a person. As long as you live long enough, you will see all the news and all your enemies will die. Haha."

Fang Dihua was not as carefree as she was. She quietly asked Lin Shu, "Are Yanming's parents okay?"

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Mom, let's relax and have fun. They are fine, but they must be living an uncomfortable life."

She had asked Yuan Lijun to keep an eye on them. Nothing would happen. As long as Chen's father and others were not allowed to go to the military area to make trouble, nothing would happen. She still

had some face in the family compound of the Revolutionary Committee. It would be easy to explain it clearly when the time came, and it would not make people laugh.

If it was her own family, she would not be afraid of being laughed at, but Chen Yanming... In order not to affect his future marriage, Lin Shu thought that she should try not to make a big fuss. Of course, letting her compromise and serve those three people was just a dream.

She took the elderly and children out to play, and hired a human-powered tricycle, so that they could sit on it when they were tired.

It was getting late, so she took them to stay in a guesthouse.

This place was close to the provincial military district, so they stayed directly in the provincial military district guesthouse.

Didn't she still owe the biographies of several old leaders? Recently, she planned to visit them one by one, take notes, and then write biographies for them.

Lin Shu was busy writing the biography, and Fang Dihua was responsible for taking her mother and grandchildren out to play, and planned to go home in the evening.

Chen's father and his two friends went out for a stroll that day, mainly to buy some coarse grains from the Qizhou Suburban Brigade.

The grains exchanged for these grain coupons in the city were 40% fine grains and 60% coarse grains. They thought they would buy coarse grains so that they could eat for a long time.

But how could grain be so easy to buy?

Not only did they not buy any, but they were also cheated out of five yuan!

All of a sudden, they had even less money in their hands!

When the three came back in the evening, they were dejected. Chen's father even wondered if they should listen to Yuan Lijun and go home first, and wait for the third child to come back.

Yuan Lijun promised them that he could pay for the train tickets back, and when Chen Yanming came back, he would tell Chen Yanming to go home to pick up the old man.

Chen's father also asked him to send a telegram to him when the time comes, and Yuan Lijun agreed.

Chen's father sighed and said to Chen's mother, "How about we go back first?"

Chen's mother wiped her tears and scolded San Gou'er for being heartless, "His comrades are not good people, they don't care about us."

Just when she was angry, an old woman approached them stealthily and asked in a low voice, "Are you the parents of Chen Yanming from No. 8 Courtyard?"

Chen's mother recognized her. They could see this old woman when they went out for a walk these days, but she never took the initiative to talk to them. They didn't expect her to come up now.

Did she want to see them laugh or what?

Chen's mother said unhappily: "Yes, you want to lend us money?"

Huang's mother looked around. It was cold, and there were few people outside after dark, so naturally no one paid attention to her.

She nodded: "Yes, I can lend you some."

Chen's mother thought that the other party was just like those old lady Li, who were only enthusiastic on the surface but actually looked down on them and would never lend money, so she deliberately spoke angrily and got angry, but she didn't expect that the other party would actually lend her money?

Huang's mother was also holding a grudge for a long time, and she was looking forward to Lu Shaotang getting into trouble.

Originally, she thought that you drove a jeep out all day to perform tasks that no one knew about, and you might get into trouble or get injured one day, so that you would also suffer retribution, but Lu Shaotang went in and out, and was very busy with work, but he didn't get into trouble, which made her feel very frustrated.

She didn't feel so much resentment at first. After all, it was just a fight between a few children, and it couldn't be a big problem. Who knew that it would cause her daughter to lose her good job?

After Huang Wei lost her good job, she not only worked hard and had low wages, but also had no time to take care of the family. When she was in a bad mood, she quarreled with her husband Fang Anbang all day long.

At first, Fang Anbang still gave in to her, thinking that the unit's punishment on her was a bit excessive, and she was also wronged, but she always complained and said sad words, and he was also affected, and he would quarrel a few words when he was in a bad mood.

Huang Wei was bullied by her husband, so she inevitably went back to her parents' home to complain.

At first, she had a high salary and had to subsidize her parents every month. Now she has no money to subsidize them. Her parents, brother and sister-in-law also have opinions and don't respect her as much as before. Especially her sister-in-law gave her the cold shoulder. How could she bear it?

After a while, she cried to her parents and quarreled with her sister-in-law, which made the relationship with her parents tense.

Even though Huang's mother didn't think much of it at first, she gradually became resentful. After thinking about it, she finally felt that she blamed Lin Shu .

It's such a small matter for children to fight, why do you involve adults? And they lost their jobs? Destroying someone's

job is like killing their parents. How can I not hate you?

Huang's mother secretly resented Lin Shu and was angry with Lu Shaotang, thinking that he, a man, didn't care about his own woman.

Unfortunately, she never found a chance to take revenge. After all, Lu Shaotang was successful in his career and had a high status in the family compound. Lin Shu also had influence in the family compound and had many friends. She didn't dare to say bad things.

These days, Chen's father and mother happened to come over. Huang's mother saw from the sidelines that it was a good opportunity.

It would be great to make things difficult for Lin Shu, to make Lin Shu and Chen Yanming quarrel, and to let Chen Yanming's parents beat her!

Not only did she agree to lend money and food coupons to Chen's father and mother, she was also willing to take them to the black market to buy them. At the same time, she also told them some information about the family compound.

"You've been deceived. That Yang Shumin, Zhang Ya, Zheng Jie and others are all doing well with that little witch. Oh, by the way, your son has a very close relationship with her man. Whenever your son comes back, the two families have meals together, and your son buys her a lot of things. And those rooms on the third floor, supposedly she took the big one, and the other two belonged to your son, but she ended up taking two of them. You have to take them back."

Father and Mother Chen were furious when they heard this, and they wanted to settle the score with Lin Shu immediately.

Huang's mother continued to fan the flames, "That Lu Shaotang deliberately said that he couldn't find your son. He must have known that you were coming and deliberately let your son hide away. And that Lin Shu, she came here to deal with you, and now she deliberately hides away and leaves you alone, wanting you to get out."

Chen's father and mother, who were originally planning to go home and wait for news, immediately exploded, "We won't get out, and if anyone wants to get out, it should be her!"

In order to instigate them, Huang's mother secretly lent them five kilograms of food coupons, "Stay here and don't leave. If you leave, you will be doing the little goblin's bidding."

Chen's father and mother thanked Huang's mother profusely, treating her as a good person.

Huang's mother also told them that everyone's bad attitude towards them these days was instigated by Lin Shu, and they must not let the little goblin go!

Of course, she had to tell him not to betray her, so Chen's mother naturally agreed.

Chen's mother angrily said to Chen's father: "Let's go back and break down the door of the small room! We want to move in!" She

was originally worried that the second son's family would have no place to live, and now it's just right.

Huang's mother was secretly happy, and secretly cheered in her heart. Without her husband, Lin Shu and the others would definitely not be able to beat Chen's father.

Chen's mother and the other two rushed home angrily, went up to the third floor, and saw that the small room was locked. Obviously, the two old women had returned.

She felt that her old man was there, and the other side was just the two old women, a little witch, and a pair of puppies. How could they be a match for the three of them?

Didn't your husband hide away?

Didn't you instigate my son to hide away?

I will beat you up today, but you don't have a man to support you!

You deserve to be beaten!

Mother Chen signaled Father Chen to kick the door!

Father Chen was also very angry, and he kicked the door with a bang.

Mother Chen also banged on the door, "Open the door! If you have the guts to close the door, then you have the guts to open it! You dare to instigate my son, you are really evil!"

Father Chen kicked the door twice in a row, and even the door frame shook.

Mother Chen: "Old man, I will go with you!"

She asked Zhang Juying to come too, and the three of them banged on the door together, and they had to break it open.

The three of them gathered all their strength and used all their strength to bang towards the door -

with a "creak", the door was pulled open from the inside, and the three of them lost resistance and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Ouch--"

Father Chen was pressed to the ground by Mother Chen and Zhang Juying, and he split his legs on the spot.

His two old legs were directly split apart, and the crotch of his cotton pants tore apart with a "swish". At the same time, his legs were stretched and there was a crisp cracking sound.

The tendons at the base of his thighs were stretched!

Father Chen screamed and lay on the ground with his legs split, unable to move.

Mother Chen and Zhang Juying were not injured, but they were frightened and hurriedly got up to help the old man.

Grandma Fang, Tiantian, and Panpan in the room looked at them in astonishment.

Fang Dihua strode forward from behind, "What are you doing?"

Lin Shu also came out from the opposite room and asked what was going on. She saw that Father Chen's face was twisted in pain, and his legs were in a strange posture. It seemed that he could not stand?

Mother Chen cried and scolded: "You are too bad! You occupied our son's room and hurt us like this!"

Panpan and Tiantian looked up at them, "Didn't you kick the door and get yourself injured?"

Why are you trying to scam me?

Zhang Juying shouted: "This room belongs to my brother Yanming, why do you occupy it?"

Lin Shu: "Don't argue here, go find the leader if you have the guts."

Mother Chen wanted to stay in the room, "You guys caused me to sprain my leg, and I have to stay here to recuperate."

Father Chen's face was pale, and his legs could not move for the time being, so he had to sit on the ground. He could not speak clearly and kept gasping for breath.

Lin Shu glanced at them and said, "You should go to the hospital first." Zhang Juying

blamed her, "Your husband is my brother Yan Ming's comrade-in-arms, and my brother Yan Ming's parents are your husband's parents. Why don't you call a car to take them to the hospital!"

Lin Shu sneered, "I think you are quite a scooter, so I asked you to go."

Zhang Juying naturally didn't understand, and yelled loudly, insisting that Lin Shu be responsible.

Father Chen: "No, it's okay, I'll take a break, take a break."

He touched his thigh root, "I pulled a muscle."

Now the thigh root is burning, the bone is not broken, but it can't move for the time being.

Mother Chen is still nagging about Lu Shaotang instigating Chen Yanming to hide away, Lin Shuhua Chen Yanming's money, occupying Chen Yanming's house, instigating the people in the family compound not to lend them money, etc.

Fang Dihua didn't bother to talk to her and directly pushed Chen's mother out, "My mother wants to sleep."

Chen's mother wanted to lie on the ground immediately, "You hit the elders, hit the old people!"

Lin Shu: "My mother is the same generation as you, and my grandmother is one generation older than you, who hit the elders? Besides, there are only two families in this building, and no one will come to watch the fun even if you shout at the top of your lungs."

Zhang Juying wanted to push Lin Shu when she saw this, "Can't I beat you, little devil?"

As a result, Fang Dihua was faster than her and slapped her, knocking her back and hitting her arm so hard that it hurt.

Zhang Juying immediately realized: This old woman is much stronger than me, I can't beat her!

Mother Chen's eyes flickered. If it was just Lin Shu, she would still want to take advantage of her younger daughter-in-law to bully the old man, but now that Lin Shu has her grandmother and mother-in-law, she can't take advantage of her age.

Panpan and Tiantian were fiddling with the splits, trying to see if they could do the splits.

Soon, the two children could do the splits.

The two children usually followed Hou Bo and Lu Ping and Lu An to climb trees. Although they were young and not so agile, they had good exercise, and the children's bones were soft, so they could do the splits easily.

Father Chen looked at the two children and was so angry that his balls hurt.

Panpan looked at Father Chen and chuckled, "Grandpa Chen, are you going to pay back the money for Uncle Chen?" Father Chen

's legs were shaking with anger, and he yelled at Mother Chen to help him go back to the house to rest.

Originally, they thought they were right after hearing what Huang's mother said, and they were holding their breath to go back and argue with Lin Shu, and even wanted to fight because both of them were old and young.

As a result, Father Chen was defeated before the fight, and Zhang Juying was no match for Fang Dihua.

They saw one fact clearly, that they couldn't beat Fang Dihua even if they fought!

But they couldn't find a leader to support them, because even Huang's mother said that the leader of Courtyard No. 8 was Lu Shaotang, and everything would be easy as long as they controlled Lin Shu.

The key is that they can't control her. They can't

argue or fight.

It's really unfair.

The three members of the Chen family did not sleep all night, but Lin Shu and the others slept soundly.

Lin Shu originally thought that Chen's father and the other two would not be able to endure it for two more days and should leave on their own initiative. After all, they could not survive without money and food coupons.

Sure enough, after two days, Chen's father and mother could not stand it anymore, and Huang's mother saw that they could not even beat Lin Shu, and knew that it was hopeless to watch the fun, so she hid and stopped lending them money.

Chen's father and mother had no choice but to borrow money from Yuan Lijun to buy a ticket home.

Just when they were packing their bags and were about to go downstairs to find Yuan Lijun, a group of people came over in a tricycle, exhausted.

Chen Erhu, his wife and four children stood at the gate of the Revolutionary Committee's family compound. His legs were a little weak and he didn't dare to go in.

Chen Huilan had just come back from doing publicity work. Seeing a few people sneaking around the door, she asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Chen Erhu smiled and said, "Aunt, we're looking for Chen Yanming. That's my brother. They say he's a big official here."

Chen Erhu prided himself on being a man of his time. He showed respect by calling women "Aunt.

" But Chen Huilan was almost pissed off by him. "You look about the same age as me, and you dare to call me aunt? Are you fucking blind?

I wouldn't scold you if you called me sister. "

Wait, Chen Yanming?

Chen Huilan had heard from Yan Zhendong on the phone that Director Chen's parents from No. 8 Courtyard had come with their "daughter-in-law," but Director Chen and Director Lu were both out of town. Now they were wasting time, and they would have to leave when their food coupons ran out.

Unexpectedly, my second brother and his family came again when my parents were still here.

Chen Huilan was stunned. Are these people so shameless?

Of course, she also has a few relatives in the countryside, but none of them are so shameless.

Chen Erhu saw her complicated expression, and quickly took a boy about six or seven years old and said, "This is my brother's son. He has never seen his father at this age. I sent him here."
