Chapter 264: The Weak Sister of the Heroine in the Period Novel (10)
After the eighth day of the New Year, the verdict on Secretary Niu's family was announced.
After investigation, it was found that Secretary Niu was guilty of corruption, harboring a criminal, and rape. Because of his cadre status and the relatively bad influence, he was sentenced to thirty years in prison.
Niu Cunliang was sentenced to death because he actually caused death.
As for Zhou Xueyan, she was sent to a farm for reform because of the crime of harboring a criminal, where she had to undergo five years of criticism and education.
Donkey's mother was also interrogated several times and it was confirmed that she did not kill anyone, but she had an affair with someone, so she was dragged to the street to be criticized and educated by the people.
Director Ma and his men personally confiscated the brigade property that Secretary Niu had embezzled, and everything in his home was confiscated. The account books of the past few years would be used to recalculate the accounts for the villagers.
This result is a happy one for everyone.
As a letter of praise to Gu Zhen arrived in Niujia Village, the reply letter she wrote to the Gu family had also been delivered to the hands of the two elders of the Gu family.
Gu Xiande was a winemaker who could recognize a few words. He put on his glasses and read the letter from his youngest daughter carefully.
"Dear father, mother, elder brother and sister-in-law, and lovely nephews, hello. I am glad to see you. I am your daughter, Gu Zhen. Everything is fine. Don't worry. I am in Niujia Village and don't need much money or food coupons. I have saved up over the years and sent it back with this letter. I will take it as a token of my filial piety. I hope you will accept it."
Gu Xiande smiled with relief. His little daughter, whom he had been most concerned about, had grown up. "This child has sent her things back again."
"Old man, please continue reading. What else did Zhenzhen say?" Xi Hongmei couldn't read, but she still looked at the letter intently.
"Nothing much. She said she sent cloth coupons to her sister-in-law and asked her to make some clothes for the children. She said she would come back to check. Oh, yes, she said we don't need to worry about her return to the city, she knows what's going on."
Xi Hongmei thought that it was to make clothes for her grandson, so that was no problem. Although she was worried that her daughter would have a hard time in the countryside, since the money had been sent back, she would just keep it.
This girl is also stubborn!
"If it weren't for Erya's mischief, Zhenzhen wouldn't have had to endure this hardship. She was weak from birth. When I think of her working in the countryside, I feel like I'm being fried in oil."
When it comes to this, Xi Hongmei gets angry. There is a policy in this city that if a family has more than two children of school-age children, one can stay behind. In terms of age and health, the second child, Gu Manman, should go.
But no one knows what she did, but in the end, the application she submitted to the Youth League Office was actually the application of the youngest student, Gu Zhen!
The Youth League Office didn't care whether you made a mistake or not, they just took people away and left. Gu Zhen was also stubborn, so she just went and she didn't believe she would die there.
Because of this, the two elders were almost angered to death by Gu Manman. Then, within two years, she fell in love with the director of Gu Xiande Winery and pestered him to become his stepmother.
From then on, Gu Xiande never raised his head in the winery.
Whoever wants to be the father-in-law of this crappy winery can do so. Anyway, he doesn't want to acknowledge this relative.
"Alas, this second girl," Gu Xiande sighed, "I heard from people in the factory that she has a good relationship with the factory director recently, and they don't quarrel anymore. It would be great if they can live peacefully. If you are free one day, go find her. What's the matter with not getting the marriage certificate?"
There was a wedding banquet, but only family members knew about it. Because they were not old enough, they never got the marriage certificate.
It's not shameful to have no name or status.
Xi Hongmei shudders whenever she thinks of that firecracker-like daughter. She always says that the two of them are partial to each other, which is sometimes really hard to explain.
The eldest is honest and has never been naughty since he was a child. The third is even worse. Everyone in the family compound calls her Lin Daiyu. She gets out of breath after running a few more steps.
It’s just this second child. He’s always worried and complaining. All he does is complain and make trouble.
While the old couple were talking about these old times, the eldest son and daughter-in-law came back from grandpa's house with their children.
As soon as they entered the door, the two boys threw themselves into their grandparents' arms and acted coquettishly.
Xi Hongmei wanted to show her daughter a good reputation in front of her daughter-in-law, so she showed her the letter and said, "Huihui, your sister wrote to you and said that she sent you a cloth coupon and asked you to make new clothes for your child."
Wang Hui is a down-to-earth person who doesn't know how to say nice things. "Keep it for your sister. The two kids are different every day. Why make new clothes for them?"
Xi Hongmei was somewhat satisfied with her daughter-in-law's attitude, but she was not greedy for such a small thing, so she pushed the coupons over and said, "Keep it. It's a gift from your sister."
Wang Hui didn't know whether to accept it or not, so she looked at her husband Gu Dalin.
Gu Dalin smiled innocently and stuffed the cloth coupons into his wife's hand: "Take it. When my sister comes back, we'll buy her something else."
Only then did Wang Hui not refuse.
The Gu family was in harmony because of Gu Zhen's letter, but a quarrel broke out in the winery staff dormitory building two streets away from their garment factory's family compound.
The factory director, Fu Jianning, is in his early thirties, young and promising, with an intimidating presence. His tall stature gives off an extremely oppressive vibe when standing in the room.
But the beautiful woman in front of him was not afraid.
Gu Manman is the most beautiful of the three children in the Gu family. She used to have a flamboyant look, but now, because of a change in her character, she has become even more fierce.
With a cold face, she held her little daughter in her arms and spoke slowly: "What's the matter that makes you so angry? Didn't we agree that we should wait for each other to explain anything in the future?"
Fu Jianning frowned in annoyance. If he and Gu Manman had not been seen being intimate after getting drunk, there was no way the two of them could have gotten together.
The daughter of a factory worker in his own factory is 11 years younger than him. The two of them are not suitable for each other at all!
So after marriage, he has always been very resistant to Gu Manman, but recently he found that this person seemed to have changed.
He is no longer stupid or brainless. Instead, he is very smart. He takes good care of the children and I have a lot to talk to him.
The two of them were really affectionate for a few days.
We fought fiercely until dawn last night!
The man in his thirties seemed to have fallen back into the sweetness of first love. Fu Jianning arrived at the factory humming a song this morning.
As a result, I received a phone call before I had a happy day.
They said they were investigating the corruption of the secretary of Niujia Village, and also said that his wife had accepted a betrothal gift from Secretary Niu's family, which was embezzled money, and they requested a refund.
Fu Jianning thought for a long time before he remembered that his second wife had a younger sister who was working in Niujia Village!
After finding out the whole story, Fu Jianning was instantly furious. Gu Manman accepted the betrothal gift without telling her parents. Did she want to confirm the marriage right away?
The sarcasm from the other end of the phone was obvious enough, saying that even a dog in Niujia Village would know what kind of person Niu Cunliang was, and how could someone push his own sister into the fire pit.
Fu Jianning instantly remembered that years ago, he seemed to have gotten to know his wife again and was in love with her, when she said she wanted to arrange a marriage for his sister.
It seemed that a letter was sent to Niujia Village using his name.
That was the original idea.
Even if you are not on good terms with your parents, you wouldn't accept the betrothal gift without telling your parents, right?
If I really have to marry him, where can I, as a young girl, seek justice?
As soon as Fu Jianning got home, he got very angry.
