Chapter 201 Gossip about Uncle's Family
The first day of the Lunar New Year was originally the day to pray for the deceased according to custom. However, feudal superstition is now opposed and Yuncheng is no different from my hometown in the Northeast. Children will go out early in the morning to pay New Year's greetings.
So on this day, Huo Haocheng finally had a day off, but he didn't know what to do. He decided to take his wife shopping, as the supply and marketing cooperatives were on holiday. He decided to go to the movies, but the projectionist wasn't there today. Alas, it was the first day of the new year and he had nothing to do.
After breakfast, the couple opened the door, put melon seeds, peanuts and dried fruits on the table, and wanted to see if anyone would come to visit today.
However, they were overthinking it. On the first day of the new year, they had nothing to do, but other families had things to do. Even if it was difficult, it would be good to care about their children's studies!
"Ah, brother, I suddenly feel so bored today!" The two sat on the sofa, Huo Haocheng was sitting and Ruan Ruan was half lying on him. She didn't know who stipulated that they couldn't sleep in on the first day of the new year. She sighed while chewing melon seeds in her mouth.
"So is there anything my sister wants to do?"
In previous New Years, if he couldn't go home, he would go on duty so that his comrades in the family compound could spend more time with their families. Today, Ruan Shaolin and a few other singles were on duty, so he was happy to have some free time. He finally had some time to be alone with his sister, and he felt it was pretty good to just sit at home.
When I heard him ask this, I thought about it, thought about it seriously, and then I remembered the agreement I had made with my uncle and what I had asked the system to do before.
Then I contacted the system.
"Tong, how are you doing?"
"Host, there are a lot of people this time. Someone has been giving gifts to these people since yesterday. And do you know what I found?" The kitten was very excited when talking about this.
Feeling the system's happiness, Ruan Ruan sat up straight. "What's wrong? Did you find anything over there?"
"Host, I found a golden wall. What do you think? You never expected it, did you?"
Last night, the system went back and forth between those households. The other section chiefs were fine, as they did not go too far in accepting gifts. But the situation at the deputy mayor's house was a big deal. He hinted to those who came to give him gifts, either explicitly or covertly, that he only accepted gold.
At first, the system was puzzled by his behavior. After the gift-giver left, he saw him take out a brick from a corner of the living room and put the gold given by others into it. Out of curiosity, the system also followed in.
It turned out that the wall was hollowed out and two-thirds of it was filled with gold bars. When he saw clearly and wanted to get out, the entrance was blocked, so he had no choice but to wait until this morning, when someone came to give him a gift and the entrance was opened again, so he was able to get out.
"A wall of gold?" Ruan Ruan couldn't believe what she heard and screamed. How could someone hide gold in the wall now?
"What wall of gold? Did the little kitty find anything?" Hearing her cry, Huo Haocheng asked in confusion.
"The system said that he found a wall of gold in the deputy mayor's house. The deputy mayor required others to give him gifts in the form of gold. He hid all the gold in the wall. I think this is why Uncle Guo couldn't find any evidence against him."
He simply hid the bribes he received at home. No wonder the people who were watching him never saw him take anything out of the house. Who could have thought of this?
"Now that the evidence has been found, what are you going to do?"
Ruan Ruan thought about this question seriously and said, "It's Chinese New Year, why don't we let Uncle and Uncle Guo finish celebrating the New Year?"
"...Well, it's up to you. I'll have to bear with you for two days. Today is the first day of the new year, and tomorrow is the second day. My uncle's daughter will also be back. You have to go to the Gu family, your mother's family, too. We'll talk to my uncle on the third day of the new year, and I'll lead a team to cooperate with the police to arrest them."
"Wait, wait, does my uncle have a daughter? Why have I never heard of her?" She had been in Yuncheng for so long, but she had never heard her uncle and aunt mention that they had a daughter, and Gu Jinghe and Gu Jingming never mentioned it either.
"Well, they have a second daughter, who is two years younger than Gu Jinghe. She fell in love with a man. I heard that the man was a gangster at the time. Her uncles and others did not agree, but she was too brave and went straight with him... Well,
You also know my uncle's temper. In the end, there was nothing I could do. Gu Jinghe and his brother wanted to get married, so I agreed. After they got married, I heard that my uncle arranged a job for them in the city, but as a price, he severed the father-daughter relationship with her. In the following years, no one ever mentioned her. The Gu family treated her as if she didn't exist. "
Huo Haocheng didn't know how to tell her about Gu Jingxi. When he first arrived in Yuncheng, Commander Gu was very optimistic about him. Seeing that he had a good relationship with Gu Jinghe, he wanted to introduce his daughter to him. But later, when Gu Jinghe came to ask him, he said that he already had a fiancée, and the matter was left unresolved. But for some reason, Gu Jingxi found out about it.
That day, she ran to the training ground just after their training ended, and beat and scolded Huo Haocheng in front of Gu Jinghe and other comrades, telling her not to be a toad wanting to eat swan meat, saying that she would not be interested in her, and that she already had a partner, and they would get married soon.
Because too many people heard about this incident at the time, there was no way to cover it up. Commander Gu and Teacher Shen found out on the same day. Commander Gu then sent people to investigate her boyfriend and found out that he was just a street thug. Not only did he have no skills, he also had a younger brother and a younger sister. The family of seven or eight people lived in a 50-square-meter tube building. The whole family relied on his parents as temporary workers, making only 20 yuan a month to support the whole family. His parents would occasionally take their things to support their little son in the countryside, which made their life even better.
If there was a capable person in such a family, Commander Gu would not say anything. He would just arrange a job for them and let them come out alone. But that person had no advantages at all and only had a mouth that could tease little girls.
How could she marry into such a family? The other party was obviously after their family affairs! No matter what Commander Gu and Teacher Shen said, she just wouldn't listen. She just felt that they wanted to break them up and couldn't bear to see her happy, so in the end, under the instigation of that person, the rice was cooked.
In the end, there was no choice. Teacher Shen and the others had to consider Gu Jinghe, as he was old enough to get married. So after arranging jobs for them and making sure she wouldn't starve to death, they simply severed their relationship with her.
After hearing what Huo Haocheng said, Ruan Ruan felt that her cousin was sick. She actually abandoned her parents who loved her for a man who was nothing.
"What about now? Is she happy?"
"I'm not sure. Some time ago, a comrade who came back from a mission told Gu Jinghe that he saw her on the streets of the city. She was covered in wounds and must have been beaten by her husband's family. They only heard a few words from the neighbors on the street. However, my uncle had said before that they didn't need to worry about him, so they just came back and talked to Gu Jinghe about it and didn't ask too many questions."
In fact, it goes without saying that her life could not be easy. Because of irresponsibility, facing the blame from his parents, he did not stand up to help her. Instead, he used such extreme ideas to force Commander Gu to submit. Afterwards, Commander Gu broke off relations with her, and he did not try to repair the relationship, allowing the situation to develop. Therefore, people who want to get married if their parents do not agree should think twice!
"Then what do you mean? Will she come back tomorrow?" Ruan Ruan didn't quite understand. Her uncle had cut off ties with her, so why would she come back tomorrow?
"She should come back, right? I heard before that her uncle asked Gu Jinghe to tell her that if she couldn't live with him anymore, she should get a divorce and go home."
Life is like this now, Commander Gu has bowed his head, and she has seen his true face. He should go home, right?
"I don't think so. Maybe she's still blaming her uncle and aunt?" Ruan Ruan has seen too many people like this. They made the wrong decision and were unwilling to turn back. In the end, they blamed the people who persuaded them, asking why they didn't stop them at the time. Or, they were able to raise her before, so why didn't they want to support their family after she got married? Anyway, you have the ability, don't you?
"How could that be?" If you do something wrong, shouldn't you blame yourself? How could someone blame their parents?
"Why not? If she comes back tomorrow, I tell you, there are only two possible outcomes. One is that she comes back by herself and confesses in front of her uncle and aunt, and then asks them to help her and support her in her husband's family. The other is that the two of them come back together. When her husband's family sees that her uncle and his family are willing to forgive her, they will definitely want to ask for some benefits, and the New Year's visit is the best time."
Ruan Ruan thought for a moment and added, "If she remembers her husband tomorrow, gets divorced and comes back alone, and cuts off all ties with her in-laws, then, for the sake of my uncle and aunt, I will reserve a place for her in the charity."
Seeing his wife's confident look, Huo Haocheng couldn't help but start to doubt, are there really such children?
