Mixed in 1980

Chapter 307 Still Too Young

The brother-in-law beat his sister-in-law, which aroused the wrath of the great writer Chen Fan.

Thinking of this headline, Chen Fan couldn't help but shudder: "I'll teach that kid a lesson later. Why does he have to give interviews for no reason?"

"You still have the nerve to say it?"

Xu Jinqiu rolled her eyes and slapped her husband again: "How many times have you tricked Xiaoqiang over the years? You even forced this kid to expose the family's dirty laundry just to embarrass you. You deserve it!"

Miss Zhao teased, "Comrade Chen Fan, you should reflect on your actions. Xiao Qiang avoids you like the plague; he's been tricked by you so much. Let's be decent human beings."

Chen Fan said sullenly, "Was I that unreasonable?"

The two wives nodded in agreement, while the younger sister-in-law looked at him with disdain: "If Wen Hua dares to be like you, I can skin him alive."

"..."

Chen Fan chuckled and snatched the sunflower seeds from Xu Jinqiu's hand: "Let's watch the show first. It's quite a spectacle over there. Goodness, even the women are involved, pulling hair, tearing clothes, ouch..."

Xu Jinqiu pulled out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket: "They're arguing quite fiercely. The courtyard is divided into two groups, each with their own reasons."

Miss Zhao teased, "The other courtyard hasn't announced anything yet. When they find out we're giving up the acquisition, they'll probably start fighting too."

"You guys are so boring!"

Zeng Ajing rolled her eyes at them and walked back to courtyard number 15. She had to tell her parents about this today; she couldn't wait until it was published in the newspaper tomorrow to find out.

Upon entering the central courtyard, Yan Xi was playing with three babies. Elders from several families had also gathered together, including Chen Musheng and Guan Yuemei.

"Auntie..."

The children came over one by one to greet her, and Zeng Ajing patted each of them on the head. She played with the children for a while before sitting down next to her parents.

"Mom and Dad, did you know that Xiaoqiang went to get a paternity test?"

"Paternity test? What's that?" Zeng Hongwen was surprised. He had never heard of a term that could determine whether someone was his biological son.

Zeng Ajing gave a brief explanation of DNA testing technology. It was introduced to China in 87 and was mainly used for criminal investigation. It wasn't until 89 that it was used for paternity testing.

"Since you don't know, it must be that Xiaoqiang took your hair and did it himself."

"What happened? Did the DNA test show he's not your biological child?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zeng Hongwen was kicked off the stool by Liu Wenhui: "You old bastard, what did you say? Say it again and see what happens."

"Mom, Dad was just asking casually. He's getting old now and can't take a fall."

Zeng Ajing felt sorry for her father and quickly went over to help him up: "A few years ago, my brother-in-law lied to Xiaoqiang, saying that he was adopted. Xiaoqiang had a thorn in his side, so he went to get a DNA test."

Zeng Hongwen was stunned. His stupid son was beyond saving!
Zeng Ajing continued, "After the results came out, I found out that I was the biological son. I felt like I had been terribly deceived. Just now, I chased my brother-in-law with a wooden stick."

He explained his experience of going to the police station to pick up the people: "We ran into reporters, and this matter will probably be reported tomorrow, so you should be prepared."

Upon hearing this, the elders looked at each other in bewilderment.

puff...

I don't know who laughed first, but everyone else couldn't help but burst into laughter. So what if it's in the newspaper? It's not a big deal, nor is it something shameful.

It's nothing more than a feud between the brother-in-law and the brother-in-law.

Over the years, everyone has become accustomed to it. Zeng Hongwen was even glad that his own foolish son had been so naughty that he had never passed any exams.

How great it is now, they've all been admitted to Peking University.

The year I was admitted to Peking University, my family held a celebration banquet, and all our relatives and friends came. It was a great honor.

"What a pity!" Xu Jinqiu sighed.

The police finally arrived and took the group away. The courtyard was quiet now, but there were no more melons to eat, so they had to take out brooms and sweep up the melon seed shells.

Zhao Xiaozao quickly came out and snatched the broom away, how could she let Xu Jinqiu do the work?

Xu Jinqiu didn't stand on ceremony. She dusted off her hands, turned around, and went back to the Central Courtyard. Her older sister was watching TV and eating nuts.

Xu Jinqiu poured her a cup of hot water before sitting down. Her older sister was seven months pregnant, her belly was already very big, and it was a baby boy inside.

After recounting the story of Chen Fan and Zeng Tuqiang, Zeng Ali chuckled and said, "Let them make a scene. They've been bullying Xiaoqiang for over a decade; they deserve to be laughed at."

The article was published the following day and was subsequently reprinted by other newspapers over time.

The title was similar to Xu Jinqiu's idea: The brother-in-law beats up his brother-in-law, and how the famous writer Chen Fan tricks his brother-in-law.

Sun Shaojie has a habit of reading the newspaper when he goes to work, especially news about major events, which he doesn't usually read.

I only became interested when I saw Chen Fan's name.

After reading a few paragraphs, Sun Shaojie chuckled: "This kid is really cunning, treating his brother-in-law like a monkey."

As he continued reading, Sun Shaojie's smile quickly faded. He suddenly realized something: he seemed to have told his son that he was adopted.

Will my son also suffer from psychological trauma?
Whether he has any psychological trauma now is unknown, but if Chen Fan gets playful one day and tries the same thing on Liu Jinban, Liu Jinban will definitely be ruined.

Chen Fan already disliked Liu Jinban, so he might actually do it: "When I get back tonight, I need to give my son a lesson and let him know how he got here."

"Is this your roommate?"

In southern Fujian, a pretty woman walked into Chen Jianye's office and handed him a copy of the Southeast Daily: "It's this Chen Fan, isn't it?" Chen Jianye took the newspaper and his eyes widened when he saw the headline: "Trying to swindle his brother-in-law? That doesn't seem like something Chen Fan would do. He's always up to no good."

After skimming through the article, Chen Jianye was both amused and exasperated: "It seems he hasn't changed much over the years; he's still the same as when he was in school. How awful!"

"If you think about it carefully, it's been several years since we last saw each other. The last time we got together was at the end of 87, when we sold the Moutai liquor."

Upon hearing this, the woman smiled.

The husband hoarded Moutai liquor and even dragged his family into it. After that operation, the family made a fortune.

Then, he took the money to buy a house in Guangzhou.

With housing prices soaring, my family no longer has to worry about money: "Your classmate is really amazing; his predictions are always accurate."

“He is different from ordinary people like us. While we were busy studying, he was already busy making money. He often went to Hong Kong and made tens or hundreds of millions of dollars.”

The wife nodded. She had heard her husband talk about Chen Fan many times; he was indeed an extraordinary person.

After thinking for a while, he asked again, "When do you plan to sell our house in Guangzhou? I'm thinking of selling it and taking out a loan to buy a few more."

After the first housing system reform conference was held in 1988, housing credit business began to take off in 1991, unlike before when people had to pay in full to buy a house.

The wife's idea was correct.

Chen Jianye shook his head: "Forget it. We're not short of money, and we're not low-ranking. If we take the lead in speculating on real estate, it could easily cause trouble."

"What's there to be afraid of with legitimate income?" his wife asked suspiciously.

“Where did we get a legitimate income? Our previous stockpiling of liquor was speculation. If we get caught, even if it's not a big problem, it will affect our future.”

Chen Jianye took out a cigarette from the drawer, lit it, and sighed softly: "Do you know what Chen Fan said when we graduated?"

The wife was confused.

Chen Jianye took a few more puffs: "Of the brothers in my dormitory, Chen Fan trusts everyone, but he doesn't trust me at all. He's given me a lot of instructions."

"Power and money, and power and sex, should not be confused!"

"At the time, I was puzzled. Why was everyone else so upright, while I was so wicked? I was sure I would go astray in the future. I even asked him, 'Do you know what he said?'"

His wife shook her head, and Chen Jianye continued, "He said I'm very driven and always want to get things done. In the system, people like me are most likely to get into trouble."

"Sometimes, if you want to get things done, you have to go with the flow and go along with the crowd. Once you get involved, even if you don't want to do it, you'll be pushed to do it."

“Back then, I had just graduated and was young, so I didn’t understand what he meant. After working for a few years, I now understand it firsthand, and it’s just as he said.”

"So you did it?" His wife shuddered.

Chen Jianye rolled his eyes at his wife: "If I did it, would I still be talking to you about these things? But this is the thing, and I might get dragged into it in the future."

"Anyway, I've figured it out. No matter what happens in the future, I must keep a clean record. Our family isn't short of money, so we can't keep thinking about making money."

"Why did Chen Fan point out the way to make money to us back then? Wasn't it because he was afraid that we brothers wouldn't have any money and would get into trouble because of money in the future?"

"It's good that you didn't do it, it's good that you didn't do it!"

His wife breathed a long sigh of relief, and after a while said, "Our child is still young, and his safety is the most important thing. You have to be careful in the future and don't let anyone get involved."

Chen Jianye nodded and said, "Let's find some time later to go to Beijing for a few days and I'll introduce you to Chen Fan. You can stay at his house when we get there."

……

The article is still gaining traction!
Xin Yingjie, Sun Pingan, and Cao Yang all saw the article and were both amused and exasperated. They cursed Chen Fan for being immoral and treating his brother-in-law like a monkey.

This also caused a huge reaction among Chen Fan's fans, who realized that their favorite author was actually like this.

Upon closer reflection, it seems normal.

Back then, every article in "Chen Fan's Editorial Collection" was a scathing critique, as was "Chen Fan's View of the World," which showed that he hadn't had enough of criticizing domestic issues, so he started criticizing foreign ones.

He wasn't a proper writer.

The article is just a joke up to this point, but one keyword has become popular: "paternity test".

Some people feel like they're being cheated on, but they have no proof. With this article, many people have learned that whether someone is biologically related to another can be determined through DNA testing.

Many people went to hospitals for consultations only to be told that this technology is still in its infancy and that to get a paternity test, they had to go to big cities and big hospitals.

Once a man becomes suspicious, will he be afraid of the long journey?

Chen Fan was both amused and exasperated. He had made a huge fool of himself, but had actually contributed to the promotion of the "paternity testing" technology. Should he ask the hospital for an advertising fee?

Shaking his head and putting his thoughts aside, Chen Fan looked at his wife: "Miss Zhao, have you packed your luggage? We're leaving for Hong Kong tomorrow."

Miss Zhao rolled her eyes and remained silent.

Teacher Xu pinched Zhao's cheek: "Don't be angry. Your luggage is packed. Go to work obediently."

"I know!" Miss Zhao pouted.

Zeng Ali walked in with her big pregnant belly, ignoring Miss Zhao, and sat down and sighed: "Xiao Qiang ran back. That silly boy, he's still too young."
