Chapter 44 Can I ask for leave?
Xiao Meilin pursed her lips, her lips trembling uncontrollably, her eyes suddenly reddening, and she hugged the woman and began to sob.
"Child, Mom knows you've been wronged."
Our family depends on you.
Always remember, only family is real.
Everyone else is bullshit, just treat Chen Dawei like a fart, he's just your tool.
A woman's prime years are fleeting; in three to five years, you'll have no chance left, understand?
By giving a sordid act a name like "for the sake of relatives and family," everything seems perfectly legitimate.
A sense of tragic heroism even ignited in Xie Liting's heart.
"Mom, I understand."
Xie Liting drove the car Zhou Dongliang had given her to the city.
You can't find stylish and sexy clothes in small county towns; you have to go to Meihua City to find brands with that kind of flair.
As soon as Xie Liting left, Xiao Meilin called Chen Shouren.
"My dear in-laws, I've discussed it with Liting."
She agreed to return the bride price and the debt to David.
The child said that it originally belonged to Dawei, and she had no intention of not returning it.
That evening, she delivered it to Dawei.
Chen Shouren was somewhat surprised: "Really?"
"Really, Liting has already gone to withdraw the money."
However, I have a small request.
Let the two children make their own decisions; you two elderly people shouldn't interfere.
When Dawei comes home in the evening, you two can make an excuse to go out for a bit.
Liting is a shy girl, and there are many things she is embarrassed to say when you are here.
Let the two children have a proper, in-depth conversation alone.
If they are willing and can go back to the past, then we shouldn't ruin their lives.
If we can't communicate anymore, then we've done what we should as the people who came, and we have no regrets.
Don't you think so?
Chen Shouren agreed. His son was a man, and a woman had come to their house with money. His son couldn't possibly lose out.
On the other end.
At Zhou Dongliang's home.
Not long after Xie Liting left, Zhou Xiangzhang came to Zhou Dongliang's room.
"What's she doing here?"
"I'm bringing you some tea to drink."
"Did you say anything?"
"No," Zhou Dongliang replied casually while playing CS.
Zhou Xiangzhang went up and turned off the computer screen.
"What are you doing!" Zhou Dongliang shouted at him, his face contorted with rage.
Zhou Xiangzhang was panting heavily, but she didn't have an attack.
His son had been even worse to him before.
He only had one son, and he tolerated it.
When Zhou Dongliang was a child, Zhou Xiangzhang was busy with work and neglected to discipline him. He felt that he was also responsible for Zhou Dongliang becoming the way he is today.
"Stop playing around, I need to talk to you about something."
Zhou Dongliang turned on his computer screen and continued typing, but turned the volume down a little.
Zhou Xiangzhang had no choice but to drag a chair over and sit next to him.
"Chen Dawei is going to take office as county magistrate, aren't you nervous at all?"
Zhou Dongliang let out a long sigh and lit a cigarette: "What's there to be nervous about? He has three heads and six arms, is he some kind of Nezha?"
"I feel that he won't let our family off easily. Qiao Yong is his benefactor, and we made him suffer so much in the past. And now, you're going to marry his ex-wife."
"So what?"
"In my opinion, this marriage should be postponed."
Zhou Dongliang's face suddenly turned cold. He stood up abruptly, grabbed the keyboard, and smashed the computer screen on the spot. With a wave of his hands, he swept the ashtray, mouse, and other items on the table onto the floor.
His mother rushed over upon hearing the noise: "What happened? What happened?"
Zhou Dongliang kicked off his slippers, lay down on the bed, and covered his head with the blanket.
When his mother came in, she immediately understood what had happened and didn't know what to say.
Zhou Xiangzhang clenched her fists, glaring angrily at her unfilial son, silently reminding herself that he was her own flesh and blood.
"Ah Dong, break up with her. Dad will find you someone better."
The woman's identity is unknown.
He's obviously a troublemaker.
She didn't come to deliver tea; she was clearly there to find out what was going on.
Knowing that Chen Dawei is going to become the county magistrate, she wants to see what our family's attitude is, whether she still dares to marry her, so she can plan her next move.
Xie Liting had been observing the situation.
She has no intention of spending her life with you.
When looking for a wife, you should find someone who can spend their whole life with you.
Moreover, she has a special status; she is Chen Dawei's ex-wife.
Our family's relationship with Chen Dawei was already tense; aren't you just adding fuel to the fire?
He's the county magistrate now, after all.
His mother sat on the bed, gently touching the blanket, tears streaming down her face: "Adong, why don't you listen to your father's opinion?"
Zhou Dongliang hid under the covers and spoke after a long while. His voice was low but very firm.
"I must marry her."
Even if the Heavenly King himself came, he couldn't stop me.
If you don't agree, I'll take Liting and run away with her.
I've long since stopped wanting to stay in this house.
"What's wrong with Chen Dawei? If he piss me off, I'll kill him."
Zhou Xiangzhang slammed her hand on the table: "Shut up!"
You unfilial son!
I think you want to go to jail.
Zhou's mother gently advised, "Adong, you can't say these things, it'll cause trouble. You can't even say what you're thinking."
Zhou Dongliang said aggrievedly, "Zhou Xiangzhang, you're using your bureaucratic tricks on me."
The promise I made to Director Liting is still not being fulfilled.
People lack a sense of security and want a house and a car, and you accuse them of being greedy and materialistic.
You treat your son the way you treat your enemies.
You have never respected me.
You all get out. I've already said it, I won't marry anyone but Liting.
If you can't marry her, you can expect to be childless.
go out!"
Zhou Xiangzhang rubbed his eyes, wanting to curse a few more times, but then he thought that if cursing were useful, the problem would have been solved long ago.
It's all his fault for having such a useless body; out of all those women he's been with, not a single one of them has gotten him pregnant.
The fate and future of the family rest entirely on Zhou Dongliang's shoulders.
His wife patted Zhou Xiangzhang on the shoulder, signaling him to come out.
The couple came out of the house and shook their heads at the same time.
A black Volkswagen Magotan pulled up outside.
Lin Wangyou, from the county discipline inspection commission, got out of the car with a very somber expression.
After hesitating for a while by the car, I stepped into Zhou Xiangzhang's house.
Zhou Xiangzhang gestured to his wife to go upstairs, and then stepped forward to greet Lin Wangyou.
"They're here."
"Secretary, Li Taoying just called me and asked me to attend the welcoming ceremony for the new county head."
"It's not just you; all the standing committee members in the county must attend."
Lin Wangyou grumbled discontentedly, "Such a grand display, can I ask for leave?"
"That's not against Chen Dawei, it's against the leaders of the province and city. Don't get emotional, don't go looking for trouble. Minister Xu is not someone to be trifled with."
Lin Wangyou quickly wiped the sweat from his brow with his fingers, his face filled with unease.
"I played a huge role in dealing with Chen Dawei back then, and now that he's back, he's even become the county magistrate..."
So, next, will the first one be...?
Lin Wangyou, nicknamed the Black-Faced Yama, also began to feel afraid.
A thief is bound to feel guilty.
Seeing that his old subordinate and loyal ally was starting to lose his composure, Zhou Xiangzhang immediately straightened his back.
"I'm still here."
The Standing Committee members are all my people.
He's just a kid, what are you afraid of?
Maybe I know some leaders, but those leaders don't work in our Yuanshan County, do they?
In the county, we still have the final say.
Besides, just because he knows the leaders doesn't mean I don't.
Lin Wangyou smiled and lowered his head. He felt relieved to hear those words. With Zhou Xiangzhang backing him up, as long as Zhou Xiangzhang remained firm, Lin Wangyou would be fine.
"Go and get yourself ready, take a shower, brush your teeth, and change your clothes. Look at you, you reek of alcohol."
"Eh."
Lin Wangyou drove away.
Zhou Xiangzhang took out his phone and called Chen Xianping, the patrol team leader of Xiapu Town Police Station.
"Uncle."
"Come over to my house after get off work and keep an eye on Ah Dong for me these next couple of days. The new county magistrate is taking office, so don't let that kid cause any trouble."
"receive."
Chen Xianping was Zhou Xiangzhang's distant nephew, so the relationship was quite distant. It was Zhou Xiangzhang who got him a job as a policeman in Xiapu Town.
Xiapu Town is the seat of Yuanshan County government and is the most populous town in the county.
Chen Xianping claimed to be a police officer from the local police station, but those in the know secretly said he was Zhou Xiangzhang's henchman.
……
"Please, please let my brother go, I beg you."
The entrance to the Xiapu Town Police Station.
Lin Qiufeng knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the two police officers who had just started their shift.
"I'm warning you, this is suspected of being disorderly conduct. Leave here immediately, or we can arrest you," an officer warned, dodging Lin Qiufeng who was kneeling on the ground.
