Only after Captain Zhao left did Chen's mother dare to chatter behind her back, "Zhao Shuanzhu, how on earth did he become the captain? He's not good at work. All the people who earn money in the village are helped by the elders. Even a few of the guards are here. What's the point of him...?"
The more Chen's mother spoke, the more contempt she expressed. Chen's father was embarrassed. How could the old woman not give the captain any face in front of the younger generation?
Mother Chen was not satisfied, and looked at Su Xia, "Old man, after the food is distributed, you should hurry back to the county town. I may come to find you before the people come!"
This time, Chen's father agreed, "Yes, listen to your mother."
Su Xia didn't care. In fact, Captain Zhao might have done it for more than just this reason. It was very likely that someone in the group had connections with the village.
Thinking of Teacher Zhao and Gu Zhiqing who moved out a few years ago, Su Xia sighed inwardly.
Captain Zhao should be regretting it now. Why would he provoke such a person?
It was just as Su Xia guessed. When Captain Zhao returned home, there was no one there except the young couple sleeping next door, because the house was not yet completed.
He returned to the room, met his wife's worried eyes and shook his head.
Li Xiulian breathed a sigh of relief, "Did you go to Su Yatou's place?"
"Well, go over and ask?"
Li Xiulian nodded, then looked at him expectantly, "So what did you say?"
The captain took off his outer clothes, lay down on the kang, leaned his back against the wall, lit his pipe, took a deep breath, and then began to speak.
"Jianguo's wife didn't say anything. She just said we should just listen to what the higher-ups say. Since they don't let us take charge, we should just treat them as strangers and let them do whatever they want!"
When Li Xiulian heard this, she was in a daze for a moment, and then she understood what he meant.
Then he felt as if a stone had fallen to the ground, and he lost all his strength and leaned against the wall.
"What about the village? What if there are people who don't know the truth?"
Captain Zhao snorted and laughed, "We'll just warn the villagers here, but if there are still people who don't believe it, then it doesn't matter to us. As for those people, we won't criticize them, so naturally we won't care about them!"
There is a gleam of wisdom in his eyes.
Seeing Laozi like this, Li Xiulian felt a sense of security in her heart.
Then I remembered the awful, abusive son-in-law next door and asked cautiously, "What about the son-in-law..."
Captain Zhao shook his head, tapped his pipe hard, and said unhappily, "If he didn't say it explicitly, we'll just pretend we don't know. They'll be moving out soon anyway, so what he does is none of our business."
I remembered something and said, "Tell the eldest and second brother to stay away from that stinky girl."
Li Xiu Lian nodded, but the moisture in the corners of her eyes showed how upset she was.
Captain Zhao felt distressed when he saw his wife like this, and his heart was bleeding.
That’s the daughter I’ve loved so much since she was a child. How could I not feel sorry for her?
“Woo woo….
What do you think our daughter will do in the future?"
"What should I do? It's my own choice. Even if the soles of my feet bleed and get bitten, I have to walk away." Captain Zhao said resignedly.
Li Xiu Lian continued to cry.
In Teacher Zhao's room next door, Zhao Yulin leaned in Gu Zhiqing's arms and kept saying bad things.
"Jili, what do you think Daddy is thinking? You're already pregnant, isn't he worried about you?"
There was no emotion towards his wife in Gu Zhiqing's eyes, only indifference.
But when Teacher Zhao looked up at him, his expression became deeply affectionate.
"Yulin, Dad has his own difficulties, you have to understand him."
Zhao Yulin smiled happily when she heard this. Her parents, brother, sister-in-law, and the villagers always said that her husband was unreliable.
But only she knew how good the two of them were. After they got married, Zhili even gave all his savings to her.
A full 200 yuan, which is a huge sum of money in the village.
Contentedly lying in the man's arms, "Zhili, it's great to have you!"
"Um..."
Then, when Teacher Zhao couldn't see him, he became indifferent, like a piece of wood in his arms.
As for Captain Zhao, he seemed a little hasty at the time and decided to marry the captain's daughter. At that time, his grandfather said that if something happened at home, he hoped that he would be prudent and take care of himself and the family. He had already used the last layer of connections to arrange for his parents to live in Zhaojia Village, which was his hometown.
That's why he wanted to tie his village together, and the most convenient and quick way was to marry someone from the village.
At this time, Zhao Yulin happened to appear, and he took advantage of the situation to promote the relationship between the two.
I thought that if I lived in the captain's house, there would be someone to cook and clean for me, unlike the educated youth camp where people would either snore or groan next to me when I slept, and even have smelly feet.
We eat together, work together, but in the end we still can’t get enough to eat.
But at the captain's house, things were different. Everything was taken care of, they had enough to eat, and the house was clean and tidy. But when everything was about to be released by the comrades above, his father-in-law suddenly asked them to move out.
Gu Zhili immediately knew that this was directed at him, or to be more precise, at his parents.
But how would the captain of the village know about this?
Captain Zhao didn't hide it. "A family of four, with two children, all with the surname Gu. Besides, that boy looks familiar. Gu Zhiqing, don't think that the villagers are all fools."
Calling him "Gu Zhiqing" and speaking in a very cold tone, he was indeed afraid at the time.
But he dared not say anything. Captain Zhao really had no hope for this son-in-law. In fact, even if they were real parents, what would it matter?
If the son-in-law comes to him at the first time, even if he does not help, he will provide help secretly.
But now, the son-in-law obviously wants to keep it a secret. He can take care of the child privately, but if someone sees him, what will the captain think of him?
Why--
My daughter is already pregnant. Since it is a fact, let them live their own lives!
"I won't tell anyone about this!"
Gu Zhili couldn't believe it when he heard it, and then he thought that he must be threatened. How could Captain Zhao not have noticed it?
He fixed Gu Zhili with a cold gaze, "I know you have a purpose in marrying my daughter. It's her own fault. But no matter what your purpose is, it has nothing to do with our family or the village. The higher-ups have told us not to bother with them. We won't care. As for you, be smart and try not to get involved. Otherwise, you'll be reported."
The more Gu Zhiqing listened, the more ashamed and angry he became. It was the shame and anger of being discovered and robbed.
"Also, you must have some money. Move out. There's no point playing with your wife when you can live at your father-in-law's house!"
Captain Zhao was about to leave, then turned around and said, "Besides, you haven't admitted in your heart that you are your father-in-law and mother-in-law. Since you look down on us, then let's separate. The two of us old people can have enough food and drink for ourselves."
bump-
The wooden door was slammed shut, and the loud noise woke up the shocked Gu Zhili.
After a long time, he sat on the stool and sneered.
I remembered my grandfather's words, "Don't look down on the villagers. Grandpa knows you are arrogant. Plus, your family has suddenly become like this. You definitely can't accept it."
Gu Zhili murmured, "Grandpa, I didn't expect that my grandson would be seen through soon after arriving here!"
Then he stood up and found his money. He had given Zhao Yulin 200 yuan before, and now he had 3,600 yuan in his hand, which included his salary from work, money from his grandfather, and money from his parents.
He put it away and prepared to go find Captain Zhao, saying with a sarcastic smile, "Maybe they don't want this son-in-law!"
