Chapter 109: How to Hope for the Compromise between Brother Gao and the Strongest
Guo Junshan shook his head helplessly and waved at Chen Shuning.
Chen Shuning's cheeks flushed, he hunched over and moved slowly towards the door.
Her clothes were a little big, and in Guo Junshan's eyes, she looked like a round cotton ball that was "rolling" towards him little by little.
Guo Junshan frowned, wondering: Is this what it feels like to raise a younger sister? I've never experienced this before.
Chen Shuning finally moved to his side, stood up, and said awkwardly, "Officer Guo~I..."
Guo Junshan did not mention her eavesdropping on other people's conversations, but instead asked her, "I heard you like reading?"
"Ah—" Chen Shuning didn't react and said in a daze: "Well, I like reading..."
Guo Junshan whispered, "I just finished reading a few books. I'll give them to you later."
"Isn't it bad?" Chen Shuning said, "Books are so expensive~"
The high price of the book was one reason, and another was that Guo Junshan had been too nice to her recently, and she felt weird about it.
Guo Junshan said calmly: "I'm lending it to you! Okay~"
Chen Shuning hesitated for a moment, but couldn't bear to part with the book, so he agreed: "Okay then! I will take good care of it. Thank you~"
When Guo Junshan heard her agree, he raised the corner of his mouth, pointed inside and said, "It's cold outside, come in quickly!"
Chen Shuning trotted into the office. As soon as she sat down, Gao Erqiang and He Pandi came in.
He Pandi had a backache and walked very slowly. Perhaps to comfort her, Gao Erqiang carefully helped her walk, which looked so loving.
But Chen Shuning had just heard their conversation and knew that Gao Erqiang was a man who said one thing and thought another, and was not a consistent person at all.
Seeing the two of them leaning against each other, Chen Shuning lowered his head and showed a sarcastic smile.
Maybe she is young and really can't understand what Gao Erqiang and others do. Isn't it better to be more sincere?
Since you are living together, the two of you should sit down and state your requirements and bottom line. If both parties have no objection, then you can get married.
Why should we be like Gao Erqiang, cheating here and hiding things there? We make simple things complicated.
Now, He Pandi feels like he's been cheated; Gao Erqiang gets beaten up by his brother; and Gao Xiu suffers the most! What did this kid do wrong? He's being treated like this at such a young age!
All in all, Gao Erqiang should bear the main responsibility for the current situation, and He Pandidi should bear second responsibility.
"We've made a deal. Big Brother, I'll pay you back the 150 yuan over five years, and I'm willing to write you an IOU. But the house... the house really can't be given away!"
After all, we are from the countryside, and in the countryside, sons usually support us in our old age. If Xiu'er doesn't support me in the future, I can't give her the house."
Lin Jianshe didn't want the house in the first place, but he trusted Chen Shuning and let her make the decision.
Sure enough, Lin Jianshe asked Chen Shuning for his opinion: "Shuning, what do you think we should do?"
Chen Shuning glanced at Gao Erqiang and said in a strong voice, "If you don't have a house, we'll have to put forward a few additional conditions. Don't blame us for being heartless."
It was you who first cut off the road! No matter what we ask for, it’s not excessive.”
Gao Erqiang said flatteringly, "You tell us, let us listen first."
"First, you cannot sever ties with us. You cannot use any reason to stop us from seeing our child.
Second, children must study, and our demands are not excessive. Xiuer should be treated the same way Gaoshan is treated, and the difference cannot be too big.
Third, Gao Xiu must get my uncle's approval before she can get married! You can't decide her marriage on your own!"
The third thought came to Chen Shuning on the way back. Because of Gao Erqiang's selfish character, Chen Shuning was really worried that he would arbitrarily decide Gao Xiu's marriage just for the sake of the betrothal gift.
Although marriage is free, there are too many things involved in marriage. How can there be absolute freedom?
Furthermore, she was also afraid that Gao Xiu would become weak and unable to make decisions when he grew up.
"Also, when Gao Xiu gets married in the future, the betrothal gifts will belong to her and she can spend them as she pleases. These points I mentioned must be written down in writing, and everyone here is a witness."
Gao Erqiang pondered for a moment and put forward his own conditions: "I can agree, but I also have requirements.
You can't say bad things about me in front of my daughter and destroy our father-daughter relationship. You can't sow discord among our family members."
"Cut~"
Chen Shuning rolled his eyes, thinking: Gao Xiu isn't stupid, doesn't she know who treats her well? Besides, do you need someone to sow discord between you two?
He Pandi bit her lip. What she was most dissatisfied with was that Gao Xiu could control her betrothal gift. In the end, after raising her for so long, she couldn't get any money back!
But thinking of what Gao Erqiang had just said, she endured it. She had no relatives here, and she had two sons. If she divorced again, what kind of person could she find?
She is no longer innocent and has a child. No matter who she marries, she has to consider the reality!
Gao Erqiang's words were harsh, but she agreed with one thing: her situation was so poor that she couldn't find a good family.
Lin Jianshe agreed: "I promise I can do it!"
Guo Junshan took out a pen and paper from the drawer and wrote down what both parties had said on the paper.
Seeing that both parties had reached an agreement, Xiao Ling smiled and said, "Since you are both willing to take a step back, then this matter is settled!"
"Let me tell you about the arrangements made by our Women's Federation. In Gao Xiu's case, we will visit Gao Erqiang's home from time to time to ensure that the child is not abused.
Then, Comrade Zhao Hongmei, as the director of the Women's Department, you should also pay attention and visit their home whenever you have time to prevent child abuse from happening."
Zhao Hongmei readily agreed, "Hey! Director Xiao, I will definitely cooperate with you and do my job well."
Xiao Ling nodded, turned to Zhao Changyou and said, "Comrade Zhao Changyou, you are the village chief, and you have to worry about all the big and small things in the village.
"Look at Gao Xiu's situation. Don't you think he needs more attention? Provide him with some help within your capacity."
"Director Xiao, I've figured out what happened. Don't worry, the village will definitely help this child. As for Gao Erqiang and his wife, our village cadres will educate them properly!"
Gao Daqiang doesn't protect Gao Erqiang, so Zhao Changyou, an outsider, will not favor him!
Xiao Ling glanced at He Pandi, wanting to give her some advice, but seeing her dead-end look, she gave up.
There's no need! People with such a short-sighted heart can never change.
Seeing that everything was settled, Gao Daqiang stood up, walked over to Chen Shuning, and said with a smile, "Thank you for today, young comrade! Please accompany me to see Xiu'er!"
Guo Junshan looked up at Gao Daqiang, then thought that this was a police station and Gao Daqiang was not a bad person, so he lowered his head and continued to write the document.
Lin Jianshe nodded and said, "Shuning, go and see Gao Xiu. When you get home, your uncle will thank you again."
"Uncle, what are you talking about?" Chen Shuning said in a slightly reproachful tone, "We are from the same village after all. You don't have to be so polite."
Chen Shuning never forgot that when his grandfather went to seek justice, Lin Jianshe went with him and made great efforts.
Chen Shuning stood up and walked out: "Then you guys continue, I'll go see Xiu'er~"
As soon as he walked out of the door, Gao Daqiang stopped Chen Shuning and said, "Little comrade, I see you have a quick mind. Can you give my niece some advice and teach her how to resist?"
