Chapter 89

The leading boy's expression was excited, pointing at him and saying: "And you say you didn't question the document, what did you say in your last sentence, you said it was a meaningless thing..."

Before he could finish his words of labeling him.

A crisp "Slap!" sound.

The hand he was pointing with was slapped down.

The boy grimaced in pain.

He wanted to scold someone, but met Gu Chenghuai's face that was smiling but not smiling.

"..."

He had no choice but to swallow the dirty words that reached his mouth, secretly calling himself unlucky.

How did he bump into this jinx for two days in a row!

"Speak when you speak, don't point at people with your fingers," Gu Chenghuai scolded, his voice cold.

The boy was at an age where he thought he was number one, only second to heaven, and couldn't stand being lectured by others; hearing this, his face was full of disobedience.

"None of your business!"

The words had just drifted into the air.

Gu Chenghuai cleanly and neatly grabbed his arm and twisted it heavily backward.

The next instant.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts——!"

The boy who was arrogant a second ago was obedient the next second, decisively sliding to his knees, hurriedly begging for mercy.

"Lightly, lightly, my arm is about to break!"

Controlled in a posture that made one lose their name, his arm was about to break from the pain, and the young man whose arrogance had been growing day by day finally knew fear, his face turning pale.

"I admit my mistake, be lighter, my arm is still useful."

Gu Chenghuai didn't let go, but instead increased his strength, his tone even colder: "Your arm is useful, other people's legs and arms are also useful! If you don't learn to be good, there will always be people to teach you how to be a person!"

If it weren't for the uniform he was wearing, he really wanted to give these lawless little brats a profound lesson.

"Ah ah ah ah, it hurts!" the teenager shouted even more miserably.

His arm hurt until it was numb, and fearing he would become disabled, he cried with fear, his tears and snot flowing together, his voice terrified, with a crying tone: "I was wrong! I was really wrong!"

The strange thing was that because of them, the county had been very chaotic during this period, and many people were afraid of causing trouble and wouldn't go out unless necessary; no matter how loud he shouted, no one heard, and even less did anyone come over.

"You shouldn't be apologizing to me!" Gu Chenghuai tightened his fingers, his tone slightly deep.

The boy knew that if he didn't apologize, the punishment wouldn't stop, a flash of dark hatred crossed his eyes, and he apologized to the old teacher: "I was wrong! Teacher Wen, I know I was wrong."

Gu Chenghuai knew he was insincere.

The old teacher surnamed Wen knew it even more.

However.

These weren't their own children, they had no interest in disciplining other people's children, and neither of them cared.

The world wouldn't always be like this, order would be restored sooner or later, and if these people didn't restrain themselves, they would have their share of suffering.

"I am a soldier who has been on the battlefield, my family has been poor peasants for eight generations, I'm not afraid of being investigated, you guys, if you want revenge, just come," Gu Chenghuai stood tall, his brows and eyes deep, and when he looked down at people, he had a kind of coldness that was unfeeling.

Although he said so, his eyes, which were like being covered with cold frost, swept over everyone present one by one, as if he were remembering something.

Being surveyed by his gaze, the middle school students who fought heaven, fought earth, and fought people felt cold all over.

What is this person looking at?

Remembering their faces?!

What is this doing? Wanting to go to their homes to complain to their parents?!

It must be like this.

Damn! This person is so sinister!!

Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, he heard that hateful officer say: "I have remembered you all."

"..." The arrogant students gradually became numb.

Don't dare, don't dare to take revenge.

Gu Chenghuai saw something from their faces, his gaze was deep, a pair of pitch-black eyes appeared thoughtful, his tone was flat: "If my family is disturbed, I will visit your homes one by one."

The arrogant students' faces turned green, "..."

Ruthless!

The man's words continued, threatening in a light tone: "You definitely don't want to experience my methods, so..."

The boy whose arm was twisted was most afraid of his family knowing what he was doing outside, and that little bit of desire for revenge died completely.

He rubbed his arm, which was still very painful, and said: "We know you are not someone to be trifled with, we definitely won't bring humiliation upon ourselves, you can rest assured about this."

Since the boss had spoken, the others nodded like pounding garlic.

"Right right right, we don't dare."

Targeting soldiers and their families, they really didn't have the guts!

The leading student said: "We won't disturb your family, but... there are other squads..."

Gu Chenghuai's face was as heavy as water, his eyes had an unfathomable depth of darkness, "I don't care."

The boy was dumbfounded.

Instantly forgetting the pain, he said urgently: "Other squads are not under my control, be reasonable."

"You guys aren't being reasonable, and you require me to be reasonable?" Gu Chenghuai's brows pressed down unconsciously, his words containing sarcasm and mockery.

If it weren't for that uniform, he really didn't look like a good person.

The boy was speechless, and in a fit of anger, he left a sentence saying he knew, and took his subordinates away, their backs revealing frustration and anger.

Gu Chenghuai withdrew his gaze, looked at the old teacher, and said: "Can you still walk? Shall I take you to the hospital?"

"No need, thank you, Comrade, if it weren't for you, I would have folded here today," the old man smiled bitterly.

"No need to thank me," Gu Chenghuai said.

The uniform he was wearing would guide him to do the right thing.

"Teacher Wen, you don't have to be polite, my wife was once your student, received your teaching, she said you are a responsible and good teacher, so, even if I wasn't wearing this uniform, I would still help you."

The old teacher raised his head, his face covered in blood, "My student?... Who is it?"

"Lin Zhao, I don't know if Teacher Wen still has an impression?" Gu Chenghuai's cold voice slowed down, stained with a trace of tenderness.

"Lin Zhao, I remember, she was a very smart girl, it's a pity..." Teacher Wen's face was full of regret.

How could he not remember?

He remembered all the students from that batch who didn't take the university entrance exam because of the famine; Lin Zhao was the one he regretted the most, the little girl was very smart, if she had gone to university, she would definitely have become a pillar of the country.

"She's already married, how is she?"

Gu Chenghuai said: "My wife is now a salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative."

Learning that his proud student had a job and wasn't just revolving around the family all day, Teacher Wen was still regretful, but also happy for Lin Zhao.

"Very good."

"I hope student Lin Zhao can shine and heat up in the position of a salesperson."

He hoped that every student could live well.

Gu Chenghuai felt that Zhaozhao's evaluation was correct; Teacher Wen was indeed a good teacher who thought wholeheartedly for his students.

"Teacher Wen, I'll take you back."

Seeing that the old man wanted to refuse, he said in a flat tone: "If I don't take you back, my wife will be angry with me when she goes back."

The old man couldn't refuse anymore, limped forward, "Then I'll trouble you."

Lin Zhao entered the supply and marketing cooperative, the others hadn't arrived yet, she walked to her counter, scanned around, and after confirming no one was there, she took some things from her storage ring and put them into her cabinet.

After waiting for a while, Li Fen walked in.

Seeing Lin Zhao, she smiled and said: "You came quite early, I was thinking that since your husband just came back, you would be a little late."

"..." Lin Zhao smiled helplessly.

She took the cloth bag filled with glued matchboxes and handed it to Li Fen, "Sister Fen, the matchboxes are glued, take a look."

"So fast!" Li Fen's eyes widened in surprise, she took it and checked it simply, saying: "Not bad, they all look qualified, your sister works really nimbly."

"Coincidentally, my man is going to bring me lunch at noon, I'll have him take them back, confirm them, and then give you the money, and then have him pick up some materials to bring over."

It was almost clear that if there were no accidents, this work could be stabilized.

The corners of Lin Zhao's eyes lifted, as if stars were twinkling in her eyes, "Thank you, Sister Fen."

"Don't thank me, you suit my sister's eyes," Li Fen said indifferently.

"Sister, you also suit my eyes." While speaking, Lin Zhao took out a bamboo basket and a cloth bag from the cabinet, "A thank-you gift."

Li Fen took a look, the bamboo basket was full of eggs, and at a glance, there were at least twenty of them.

She pinched the cloth bag again, it was soft, flour?

"Are these all thank-you gifts?" she said incredulously, her face full of smiles, "You are so polite!"

"Right, they are all thank-you gifts, Sister Fen, take them home and wrap some dumplings," Lin Zhao's eyes lifted softly.

Li Fen was also a straightforward person, didn't push them away, accepted them without being polite, and said: "Sister won't be polite with you, thank you, in the future if there are any more good things, I'll definitely give them to you."

"Okay, I'll wait. Put them away first, I have something else to tell you," Lin Zhao signaled her to put the things away, she had something big to say.

Li Fen was puzzled, turned around, and put the things into the cabinet.

She pulled a stool over casually, looking at her with a confused expression, "What is it?"

"Sister Fen, didn't you entrust me to help your brother find a partner? I went back to my maiden home yesterday and just happened to bump into one who meets your conditions, so..." Lin Zhao just started, but before she could finish, she was interrupted by Li Fen.

She said urgently: "Where is she from? What's the situation at home? How old is she? What kind of person is she...?"

One question after another was thrown out.

It was like an urgent and nervous appearance.

"Sister Fen, calm down, listen to me slowly," Lin Zhao couldn't laugh or cry.

How afraid is she that her brother won't be able to get married, look at how anxious she is, and she hadn't even said it yet, how come she was directly nervous?!

Li Fen took a deep breath, her nails pinching her palms, letting herself calm down, and said: "Calmed down, you speak."

"That person is my cousin." Seeing Li Fen wanted to ask something again, Lin Zhao extended her index finger, pressed it to her lips, and shook her head at her, "Listen to me finish first."

She told her what she knew.

"My cousin is 24 years old this year, she just broke off her engagement a while ago, the reason for breaking the engagement wasn't my cousin, it was the man's side."

"My cousin has a rural household registration, no job, looks delicate, and is also a down-to-earth and capable person, not the kind of person with a restless mind."

"That's about it, do you have anything to ask?"

Through Lin Zhao's description, Li Fen had a preliminary impression of Yuan Xiang.

"Was your cousin's partner someone she was dating?"

"Not a partner, a former partner," Lin Zhao corrected.

It's quite unlucky.

A flash of disgust crossed her pitch-black eyes, "Not dating, it was a childhood engagement."

"My cousin and that family weren't very familiar, and there wasn't much affection, the man's family were snobs, they kept hanging my cousin along, and after they found someone better, they tried every possible way to dump my cousin."

Li Fen's eyes were sympathetic, "Your cousin is also unlucky, how did she bump into such a family."

"No way, my cousin's grandfather set it up," Lin Zhao was also speechless about her aunt's ostrich personality.

"Does your cousin know that my brother's legs and feet aren't good? Does she mind?" Li Fen's expression was serious.

"My mother will mention it today, what my cousin thinks, I'll only know tomorrow. I'll tell you first, ask what you think..."

Before Lin Zhao could finish, Li Fen slapped her thigh, "Meet! I trust you, you said your cousin is a good girl, she definitely won't be bad, I'll agree on behalf of my brother, as long as she doesn't mind my brother's legs and feet not being good, arrange for the two of them to meet."

"?"

Huh?!

So casual!?

Lin Zhao's brows gathered slightly, and she grabbed Li Fen's hand suddenly, "Sister Fen, no one can guarantee anyone's character!"

"You should still test them, I don't want it to end unhappily, affecting our relationship."

So, don't be impulsive.

Li Fen laughed out loud.

A moment later, she restrained her smile and said earnestly: "I know, don't worry, do whatever needs to be done, this matter won't affect our relationship."

Her brother was a stubborn person, he had his own ideas, it wasn't certain whether it would work out or not.
