Chapter 355: Holding a grudge
Two years later, Yuan Heng also went there to work in the countryside. Yuan Heng was one of the three generations of young people who went to the countryside. He graduated from junior high school at the age of 14, making him the youngest among the educated youth. He was five or six years younger than Zhao Liren.
The family was worried that Yuan Heng would suffer there, so they provided him with financial support.
Zhao Liren immediately set his sights on Yuan Heng. Seeing that Yuan Heng was young and helpless, he began to bully Yuan Heng, treating him as a scapegoat. When he was short of food and supplies, he would ask Yuan Heng for them. If there were no other people around, he would even rob him.
At the beginning, Yuan Heng was quite afraid of him, but after staying in the village for a long time, experiencing more things and getting to know more people, he gradually learned to resist.
Sun Aiguo and Sun Aijun were of similar age to Yuan Heng and got along very well. Yuan Heng told them about how Zhao Liren bullied them at the educated youth center.
It's not like he hadn't asked other educated youth for help before, but those people were the type who preferred to keep their distance.
They probably all understand that Zhao Liren is a petty and vindictive person, so they are unwilling to go against him for the sake of others.
But Sun Aiguo and Sun Aijun couldn't bear to see Yuan Heng being bullied like this, so the three of them joined forces and beat Zhao Liren up.
They were all young boys, and they beat Zhao Liren without mercy, leaving him unable to work for half a month.
The old couple of the Sun family took their two sons to apologize to Zhao Liren, and paid compensation of grain and money, only then the matter was covered up.
Since this incident, Zhao Liren no longer dared to bully Yuan Heng openly, but he always held a grudge in his heart.
Later, Zhao Liren still couldn't wait for the news of returning to the city, so he found a woman in the village and got her pregnant. In order to avoid being accused of hooliganism, he had to marry her.
Soon, he took the woman back to the city, and a few months later, Zhao Shengli was born.
Zhao Liren always felt that rural women were not worthy of his city man status. If Yuan Heng and the two boys from the Sun family had not caught him having an affair with a village woman, he would never have admitted that he had made the woman pregnant.
It was also because of this that he hated both the Sun family and the Yuan family.
Zhao Shengli's mother lived with Zhao Liren in the city for several years. She married far away and never returned since she left Liuwangzhuang.
At her husband's home in Jiangjin City, Zhao Shengli's mother was abused by the family for several years. Her health became worse and worse, and she passed away when Zhao Shengli was very young.
Zhao Shengli often heard from Zhao Liren about the bullying he suffered when he went to the countryside. He also blamed the Sun and Yuan families for Zhao Shengli's mother's poor health, saying that she got the disease because she was bullied in the village.
Zhao Shengli has always remembered these two enemies who caused him to lose his mother when he was young.
Zhao Liren knew that Yuan Heng was also from Jiangjin City, so he wanted to find out news about the Yuan family. He must find a way to retaliate against them and not let them have an easy time.
Later, Grandpa Sun took Sun Aimin to Jiangjin City and found a job at the school where Yuan Jie was studying at the time. The two naturally came together.
The Zhao family's father and son heard about the marriage between the two families, and accidentally heard the secret of the Zhan family, so they secretly planned such a great show.
After hearing the whole story, Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin were completely speechless.
After all the fuss, it turned out to be this. When they told their family members about it, Yuan Heng, Sun Aiguo and Sun Aijun only then remembered Zhao Liren.
They haven't seen each other for almost thirty years. Who would have thought that those things back then would make Zhao Liren hold a grudge against him forever?
It is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain.
Anyway, we finally found the source of this incident, although it is quite sad.
Now, the threat to their family has been basically lifted, and from now on, they no longer have to live so cautiously.
Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin would not let Zhao Liren and Zhao Shengli off easily. They followed the usual practice, demanding heavy sentences for the father and son and asking for civil compensation.
After that, Sun Aimin focused more on business.
Originally, Sun Aimin wanted to open a bigger restaurant, which would take some time to earn money. Now that he has hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation, he can put this matter on the agenda.
After Zhan Yinhua was sentenced and the related news was widely reported, public opinion about Fan Hua continued to ferment.
From the initial connection between Fan Hua and the Zhanjiazhuang incident, to the later public opinion that Fan Hua had an affair with a hospital intern, to the relationship between Fan Hua and Zhan Yinhua as husband and wife, and even to the fact that he relied on the Zhan family's financial support to complete his studies, all these things gradually spread.
What Fan Hua hated most was when others mentioned his past as a gigolo. He thought that if he succeeded, he could get rid of that humiliating history. But he never thought that this matter would become known to everyone.
At this point, Fan Hua's personality has completely collapsed, and everyone's trust in him has obviously declined. Even the speeches that had been scheduled in advance at some universities and two academic conferences he was invited to attend were cancelled.
Coupled with the incident with Zhan Yinhua, a lot of money was lost in the end, and the family's assets shrank significantly. This made Fan Hua very upset.
Fan Hua had no time to take care of his two sons who stayed in his hometown. He told his parents that he would send money home regularly, but it was hard to say when he would return home.
After all, his current situation is a mess, and he has a young wife and a child to be born who need to be taken care of. As for the two children with Zhan Yinhua, he will probably not take care of them anymore except for child support.
The Qian family has had a hard time ever since they broke up with Qian Jinling.
Qian Jinling promised to give the old couple 1,000 yuan a month as retirement money. Apart from that, Qian Jinling would no longer be involved in anything in the Qian family.
She arranged for the two children to transfer to another school, and the Qian family still doesn't know where the mother and her two children went.
In order to find Qian Jinling, they called the police several times, but this made Qian Jinling so angry that not only did she not show up, she also directly stopped paying her the one thousand yuan living allowance.
In order to get the money, the old couple took Qian Jinling to court. Qian Jinling did not appear in court, but sent a lawyer to represent her.
Finally, the court ruled that Qian Jinling should give the old couple 300 yuan in pension every month, and Qian Jinling would transfer this amount to the old lady's account every month.
They had to rent a house in the city and spend money to buy food and other necessities, so they could no longer stay there and had to return to their hometown.
Only Qian Longbin was unwilling to give up. He felt that he was young, strong and handsome, and he dreamed all the time of meeting a rich woman who would keep him as a sponsor so that he could live a life of luxury like his aunt Qian Jinling.
