Chapter 7: Only by giving up can you gain something

The next day, Zhou Bingkun went to work as usual and came to the slag discharge workshop of the soy sauce factory. Because of their common righteous act last night, Cao Debao and Lu Chuan no longer rejected Zhou Bingkun as before.

Seeing the two people's goodwill, Zhou Bingkun didn't say much, just smiled simply. He owed Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing a drink because of his job change some time ago. It seems that he needs to find a time to get the four of them together.

What is giving Zhou Bingkun the biggest headache now is how to face Zheng Juan. He originally wanted to use this incident to test whether Zheng Juan really has a bottom line. Even if she refuses to call the police this time, Zhou Bingkun is ready to cut off contact with Zheng Juan as soon as possible while the involvement is not too deep.

However, he did not expect that Luo Shibin and Shui Ziliu were too arrogant and wanted to teach him a lesson. As a result, he could not control his anger and sent Luo Shibin and Shui Ziliu directly to prison.

So, now Zhou Bingkun really doesn’t know Zheng Juan’s true thoughts, and he suddenly feels a little conflicted about what to do next.

Zhou Bingkun believes that Zheng Juan's life was completely dragged down by Zhou Nan. If Zhou Nan had not existed, Zheng Juan's future life would have been truly free, and even if she had not married Zhou Bingkun, she would have had a happy marriage.

It was because of Zhou Nan that the Zhou family and Zheng Juan tried their best to love him, but in the end they couldn't resist the false blood relationship and finally accepted the beast Luo Shibin.

In Zhou Bingkun's opinion, the most perfect solution is to let Zheng Juan abort the baby in her belly, so that everyone can feel relieved.

But Zhou Bingkun suddenly realized that this was Zheng Juan's personal matter, and it was indeed not appropriate for Zhou Bingkun to interfere.

After work, Zhou Bingkun went directly to Zheng Juan's home in Taiping Hutong and walked in hesitantly.

"Brother Bingkun, you're here?" Guangming said in surprise when he felt Zhou Bingkun's arrival.

Seeing that he couldn't see, with two big frozen snots hanging under his nose, but his heart was as clear as a bright light, Zhou Bingkun forgot all his worries and rubbed Guangming's head lovingly, "Guangming, is your sister at home?"

"Yes, my sister is in the room!" Hearing Zhou Bingkun's question, Guangming quickly replied with a smile.

Zhou Bingkun walked into Zheng Juan's room with a complicated expression. Before he could say anything, Zheng Juan saw Zhou Bingkun and quickly explained, "The police came to me last night, and I told them everything!"

"I was planning to come directly to give you the money last night, and then discuss with you whether to call the police. As a result, Luo Shibin and Shui Ziliu were too arrogant, and I couldn't help it, so I sent them to the police station early!" After hearing Zheng Juan's explanation, Zhou Bingkun also explained what happened yesterday in detail.

“I know everything!

thank you!
Calling the police is the best way to deal with it!

Zhou Bingkun, you are right! " After hearing Zhou Bingkun's explanation, Zheng Juan said with a forced smile.

"Then what are you going to do with the baby in your belly next?" Zhou Bingkun suddenly asked the most important question at the moment.

"I don't know either!" Zheng Juan was at a loss for a moment when she heard Zhou Bingkun's question.

Zheng Juan's mother, who was standing by, heard the conversation and said excitedly, "The child cannot be aborted!
Our whole family is Buddhist!

If you abort the child, you will be punished by Buddha!"

Hearing Zheng Juan's mother's ridiculous insistence, Zhou Bingkun felt really tired. "Zheng Juan, whether to abort the child or not is your own business!"

"However, I still want to say one last thing: if you give birth to this child, your life will be over!

After a child is born, if he has no father, he will be called a "bastard" by others!
When I was in school, I also faced various forms of discrimination and had no legal identity, so I could only be an illegal resident like you!
When he grows up, one day he will know about his biological father!

A sensible child will understand your sad experience, and then everyone will be happy!
If it were an ignorant child, he might think that you and others had conspired to send his biological father to the police station, and he would treat you and me as enemies! "

After hearing Zhou Bingkun's detailed analysis, Zheng Juan was in so much pain that she could hardly breathe. Her mother beside her also widened her eyes in shock. Zheng Juan burst into tears and said, "I don't know!
I really don’t know what to do!
Don't push me!"

"Zheng Juan, this is the last time I will talk to you about this child!
From now on, I will give you ten dollars every month when I get my salary!

I'm leaving first! " Seeing Zheng Juan crying bitterly, Zhou Bingkun knew that this was the child Zheng Juan was reluctant to part with, and then said helplessly.

"I don't want your money!" Zheng Juan sobbed when she heard Zhou Bingkun's arrangement.

“It can be considered as a loan to you!

You can return it to me when your family’s conditions improve!

Don't think it's too little, this is all I can do at the moment, and I can only give you this much every month! " After hearing Zheng Juan's refusal, Zhou Bingkun threw down ten yuan and left Zheng Juan's house.

"By the way, I won't come to Taiping Hutong anymore!
Every month after I get my salary, I will go to the entrance of the cinema and give the money to Guangming! " When he reached the door, Zhou Bingkun suddenly remembered something and turned around and said.

Zheng Juanjia watched Zhou Bingkun leave with mixed feelings in her heart. The family was stunned for a long time before Guangming smiled wryly and said, "Sister, I think Brother Bingkun is really doing this for your own good!
He seems to be really angry this time!"

After leaving Zheng Juan's house, Zhou Bingkun thought about what happened next. It seemed that Zheng Juan's family was determined to give birth to this "evil creature".

Zhou Bingkun would never write his own name in the column of the child's father, nor would he agree to the child having the surname Zhou.

As for how Zheng Juan will live in the future, Zhou Bingkun will only send her ten yuan on time every month and will not ask about anything else.

Within a few days, the matter between Luo Shibin and Shui Ziliu was settled. Shui Ziliu was sentenced to twenty years in prison, and Luo Shibin was shot directly, which was considered a deserved punishment for both of them.

Zhou Bingkun's life continued as normal, going to work and coming home. After receiving his salary, he gave ten yuan to Guangming who was waiting at the entrance of the cinema. He never went to Zheng Juan's home in Taiping Hutong again.

Every time Zhou Bingkun went to the cinema entrance to give money, he would see Guangming always looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated. Zhou Bingkun didn't take it to heart, just rubbed Guangming's head lovingly and left.

Zhou Bingkun, who was riding a bicycle, suddenly saw a familiar figure blocking his way. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Cai Xiaoguang, whom he had never met before.

"Brother-in-law? Why are you here?" Zhou Bingkun said with a smile, looking at Cai Xiaoguang in front of him. "I still have something to ask you!
You didn’t even tell me that you were transferred to the soy sauce factory, but I have acquaintances there!
As long as I give you a heads up, I can definitely assign you directly to the best MSG workshop!"

“Haha, actually the slag discharging workshop at the soy sauce factory is pretty good too!
I am already very satisfied!
By the way, why did you think of looking for me today? " Zhou Bingkun, who knew the plot, knew that even with Cai Xiaoguang's greeting, he would still be assigned to the slag discharge workshop by Qu Xiuzhen.

"This isn't just a supply and marketing cooperative running a new pilot program to supply a batch of cheap pork, so I thought of coming here to inform you!
But don't tell anyone!
After all, there are too many people for too little money. If too many people know about it, things will be very troublesome!" Hearing Zhou Bingkun's doubts, Cai Xiaoguang explained with a smile.

"Thanks, brother-in-law! Don't worry, I understand everything!" Zhou Bingkun said gratefully after hearing Cai Xiaoguang's explanation.

Looking at the elegant back of his cheap brother-in-law Cai Xiaoguang as he left, Zhou Bingkun felt something in his heart. Wouldn’t the next plot be about the gathering of the “Six Gentlemen”?
It just so happened that he still owed Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing a drink, as well as favors from Cao Debao and Lu Chuan. With the addition of Tang Xiangyang who had just arrived some time ago, the "Six Gentlemen" were finally gathered together!
When Sun Ganchao and the other four heard the gossip about Zhou Bingkun, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night. It was really because there was a severe shortage of meat in that era. Then they all became suspicious and hoped that Zhou Bingkun was not using them to make trouble.

At the appointed time, Sun Ganchao and his five companions, half-believing and half-doubting, followed Zhou Bingkun and his six companions to the supply and marketing cooperative that supplied pork. When they arrived, they found that it was already surrounded by a huge crowd of people, all waiting anxiously.

Zhou Bingkun knew what was going to happen next, but he didn't plan to take action immediately because there were too many people coming and there would definitely not be enough pork to go around.

Only when they start to make a fuss will someone leave early, and then it will be a good time to resolve the problem.

"Brother Bingkun, there are so many people here!
It seems that the pork supply is real, but with so many people, there definitely won't be enough to go around!" Cao Debao said with deep emotion as he looked at the crowd.

"Haha, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!
Don't be impatient!

Anyway, I guarantee that you will get a lot of pork today!" Hearing Cao Debao's sigh and seeing the anxious eyes of the other four, Zhou Bingkun said confidently.

After hearing Zhou Bingkun's assurance, Sun Ganchao and the other four felt a little relieved and could only wait silently.

Sure enough, not long after, there was a commotion ahead. Some hooligans really started to loot the supplies from the supply and marketing cooperative and cause trouble. Seeing this, Zhou Bingkun smiled and said to Sun Ganchao and the other four, "Brothers, it's time for us to show up!"

After hearing Zhou Bingkun's words, Sun Ganchao and the other four were very confused, but they all resolutely followed Zhou Bingkun and stepped forward to stop him.

"Kid, I didn't steal your things, so don't meddle in other people's business!" The gangster with a face full of flesh looked at Zhou Bingkun in front of him and Sun Ganchao and the other four people behind him, measured their respective strengths, and said in a threatening tone that was a bit fierce but weak.

"Haha, big brother, you are too careless!

Looting public supplies, what a serious crime!

The main culprit may be shot!
"I said, do you really want to do that?" Hearing the other party's threat, Zhou Bingkun smiled disapprovingly.

Hearing Zhou Bingkun's words, the thug with a face full of flesh and his accomplices behind him all felt nervous and panicked. Seeing this situation, the thug with a face full of flesh said in a timid tone, "Don't be scared by this kid!
There are so many people here, how could they possibly catch us? "

After hearing the words of the gangster with a face full of flesh, his accomplices finally felt relieved. Zhou Bingkun couldn't help laughing when he heard what he said, "Big brother, I'm not saying you are too stupid!

Don’t you know that there is a profession called painter in the police station who specializes in drawing portraits of criminal suspects based on other people’s descriptions!

Not to mention that there are only a few of you, even if there were twice as many it would be useless!

If we want to catch you, none of you will be able to escape!"

Hearing Zhou Bingkun's ridicule, the gangster with a face full of fat and his accomplices were frightened, and the gangster with a face full of fat also felt a little guilty.

Seeing this situation and the strength of Zhou Bingkun and the other six, they had no choice but to put down the supplies in their hands and fled in shame.

Seeing that the troublemakers were really driven away by Zhou Bingkun, the waiter said gratefully, "Comrade, thank you so much!
If you weren't here, our supply and marketing cooperative would be in dire straits today!"

"Haha, if you really want to thank us, just bring the pork up and share it with us!" Zhou Bingkun said with a smile indifferently after hearing the waiter's thanks.

"The truth is that the cold storage hasn't loosened the meat for us yet, and we don't know what the specific situation is now!" Upon hearing Zhou Bingkun's request, the waiter explained with a wry smile.

"Then call the cold storage quickly!" Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.

"The director of our supply and marketing cooperative doesn't dare to fight!" the waiter complained in a low voice.

"Okay, I'll call the cold storage! If the meat is delivered, we brothers will be given some pork first!" Hearing the waiter's complaint, Zhou Bingkun suddenly suggested with a smile.

"No problem! Absolutely no problem!" Upon hearing Zhou Bingkun's suggestion, the waiter quickly and happily assured him.

Next, because Zhou Bingkun knew the real reason in the plot, he called the cold storage staff to deliver pork.

When the waiter saw Zhou Bingkun, he made a phone call directly, and the pork from the cold storage was really delivered. He was very happy and quickly helped Zhou Bingkun and the other six people to share half a pork.

Sun and the other five were so happy to see that they had really been given some pork that it felt like a dream. Then the six of them rode their bicycles and happily went home, but in their hearts they had a higher opinion of Zhou Bingkun.

When Zhou's mother saw that Zhou Bingkun had really brought back so much pork, she was extremely happy and praised him, saying, "Kun'er! You are really something!

I actually brought back so much pork!
It seems our youngest son is becoming more and more promising!"

"It's just right. Your father and your brother will be home for the New Year this year. They can all eat meat now!"

"Hey! Mom, you said you are not partial! When there is something delicious, you always think of my brother!" Zhou Bingkun said jokingly after hearing what Zhou's mother said.

"You little brat, you just say weird things!

Go wash your hands quickly, then it's time to eat!" Zhou Bingkun's strange words were no longer surprising to Zhou's mother, so she said directly to him.
