Chapter 327 Show
Xia Zhizhi looked at Old Man Xia's heroic sacrifice and was completely speechless. This operation was so impressive that it made her scalp numb.
Seeing Xia Bangguo pull the trigger, Zeng Zelan's face turned pale and he shouted, "Old man!"
Then her legs went limp, and if Xia Zhizhi hadn't supported her, she would have fallen down immediately.
Good guys, if you disagree with something, you will end up fighting.
Xia Zhizhi couldn't bear to see her grandmother become a widow, especially since the Chinese New Year was coming soon and it was unlucky to hold a funeral at this time.
After receiving Xia Zhizhi's signal, Ah Ju stepped forward and snatched the gun.
The muzzle of the gun tilted, and the bullet passed by Old Man Song's face and hit the kettle on the cabinet behind him. There was a crisp click, and water spilled all over the floor.
Old man Song was so scared that he sat down on the ground.
Seeing that the man was not dead, Zeng Zelan staggered forward, clenched her arms, raised her hand and gave Xia Bangguo a big nose hit with such great force that his body swayed three times.
Zeng Zelan was born into a wealthy family. Although she suffered a lot during the revolution, she always maintained good character and never swore.
This is really because he was so angry that he started cursing as soon as he opened his mouth.
"You stupid bastard, you've given up your life and your family for these things, and you're going to shoot yourself in front of Zhizhi. It would be a relief if you just died, but have you ever thought about what will happen to the children? What will happen to me? Zhizhi is a little girl, will she be scared..."
Xia Bangguo's face didn't look very good either. He planned to fight with his life for a life. It wasn't that he was not afraid of death. He pulled the trigger with great courage. This time he didn't die, but he was scared and broke into a sweat.
Xia Zhizhi: ...
Looking at this farce, I don’t know what to say.
The scene was quiet for a while.
Or was it that the guard outside heard the gunshot and pushed the door open and asked, "Captain, what happened?"
Tell him that his chief is planning to commit suicide?
It's so embarrassing.
"I wanted to see the pistol, Grandpa showed me, but I accidentally fired it." Xia Zhizhi waved her hand to indicate that nothing had happened and let him go out first.
The guard looked at Xia Bangguo, who nodded at him, and then he closed the door and went out.
Xia Zhizhi looked at Xia Bangguo, whose face was pale and red at the same time, and then looked at Zeng Zelan, who was trembling with fear and even had tears in her eyes.
He lowered his head again to look at Old Man Song who was sitting on the ground and had not yet gotten up, and Old Mrs. Song who was squatting on the ground with her eyes rolling around.
Song Zhijie next to him lowered his head, but had an indifferent expression on his face.
The whole family probably thought Xia Bangguo was playing them.
That's right.
Anyone who is smarter would not do this.
If you say they are stupid, they still know how to use favors to control people. If you say they are smart, Xia Zhizhi really can't exaggerate.
The Song family judged others by their own experience, believing that the so-called repayment of gratitude was just lip service and would be forgotten after a long time.
So he was obsessed with it and even mentioned Comrade Wang Fang's kindness over and over again, determined to make this marriage happen.
They didn't even think about the fact that if the Xia family was really the kind of people they thought they were, then no matter how much they mentioned Wang Fang it would be useless because that was Comrade Wang Fang's job.
Since this threat is effective, it proves that the Xia family has a conscience.
It would be better to use this as an excuse to ask for a few jobs, let people get promoted, and directly implement the benefits.
Even if you really want to get married, then you should be nicer. After all, it wasn't just you guys who saved the man. What's the point of always acting like he's the savior?
Anyway, Xia Zhizhi can't understand stupid people.
She just wanted to know that they were stupid, and didn't want to delve into whether their ancestral tomb was not buried correctly, which caused the cerebellum of the whole family to atrophy.
Not long after, Old Man Song came to his senses and climbed up with the help of Old Lady Song.
Old Lady Song was also in a state of excitement and started to cry again: "Oh, are you trying to threaten my whole family with a gun? I don't care, but I don't know if my poor sister Fang can rest in peace."
Old Lady Song tugged at the sleeve of Song Zhijie who was standing next to her.
Song Zhijie frowned and asked Xia Bangguo in confusion: "Grandpa Xia, I grew up listening to your stories and have always respected you. I have been very happy since I learned that grandma arranged this marriage for me."
"But Comrade Xia Qingqing and I really don't get along. There's a huge age gap between us. I believe you understand that relationships can't be forced. Now that Zhizhi is back, why can't we change the person we're engaged to?"
Song Zhijie looked at his grandmother again: "My grandmother has not received much education and has always been like this. Her words may be a little harsh, but they are all for my sake. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with her."
Xia Bangguo's theoretical knowledge was not good, and he was caught in a weak spot. His face turned gaudy and particularly brilliant, and he couldn't say anything to refute it.
When two armies clash, whoever has dignity will suffer.
Xia Zhizhi sighed imperceptibly, flexed her wrists, and then said, "Grandpa, grandma, don't be angry. I think what Comrade Song Zhijie said makes sense. We are indeed a match made in heaven."
"Zhizhi!" Zeng Zelan called her, "We adults should take care of this kind of thing. You, a little kid, don't need to worry about it."
The Song family is becoming more and more unreasonable. They just cried pitifully before, but now their true nature is exposed and they are trying to force their way into someone else's heart.
Song Zhijie spoke so nicely, clearing himself and the old man of the Song family from all blame, as if it was all his step-grandmother's fault.
But Zeng Zelan is not stupid. Isn't this just a division of labor with one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop?
The Song family's stall is a mess. Whoever enters it will be in trouble.
Zeng Zelan has already made plans in her mind.
The Xia family are indeed people who care a lot about their reputation. If the Song family is determined to make trouble, they cannot help but pay attention to what others say behind their backs.
But you can't just swallow dog shit for the sake of saving face.
Zeng Zelan said, "Your grandfather and I are two years older now, and it's time for us to retire and enjoy our lives. Tomorrow your grandfather and I will apply for retirement."
As for the children below, they can also be transferred to local areas.
Can't afford to provoke but can avoid?
Xia Zhizhi didn't have much confidence in them, thanks to her strong ability to endure. If it were an ordinary child, he would have been frightened and suffered psychological trauma.
Besides, why am I being controlled by this family?
Xia Zhizhi said: "Why retire? You are willing to do so, but the leaders are not. Besides, I don't think it's a bad thing."
She smiled and looked at Song Zhijie again: "I think Comrade Song Zhijie is particularly attractive. What Grandma Song said is right. This is definitely a match made in heaven."
"You kid!" Xia Bangguo looked at Xia Zhizhi with a complicated expression. After all this, it would be impossible for Xia Zhizhi to fall in love with Song Zhijie. It must be for the sake of her grandfather, so he nodded in agreement.
Xia Bangguo sighed. He really regretted that he had agreed to this marriage on impulse.
But there was no way. Xia Bangguo had always been a straightforward person and not very smart. Who among normal people could come up with such a clever idea of killing himself to repay a favor?
He sighed and said, "This is all caused by an old man like me. You are just a kid, so don't get involved."
