Old Deng is reborn in the 1980s, and he starts by severing his father-son relationship!

Chapter 87 A Third Blossom! Balance: "1"! Desperate Chen Jianguo!

"Let go!"

Liu Rui was startled as if she had been electrocuted, and felt Chen Jianguo's thick lips close to her cheek, causing her stomach to churn.

"Wife, I want to—"

Before Chen Jianguo could finish saying the word "want," a sharp, piercing pain shot through his arm, as if he had been clamped hard by a pair of pliers.

He immediately let go and jumped away, rubbing the reddened area he had been pinched, a surge of anger rising within him: "What are you doing?"

Regardless of whether he was angry or not, Liu Ruicai suddenly stood up, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes filled with rage, and stared at him sharply, demanding, "Where's the bankbook?"

Why are you shouting so loudly!

Chen Jianguo also got anxious and scolded in a low voice, "My colleagues and superiors all live around here. If you shout like that, what will happen to my reputation?"

Recently, Liu Rui has been yelling and shouting every few days; he's been holding back his anger.

He had lost all interest in teasing Liu Rui or surprising her. If he didn't take out the savings book soon, his wife would definitely make a huge fuss.

Chen Jianguo put his hand into his inner pocket, rummaged around for a bit, and then, as if by magic, pulled out a bankbook and waved it in front of Liu Rui.

Every night before bed, Liu Rui would look through the family's savings books. She knew better than anyone which corner of the book cover was worn and what marks were on it.

The book in Chen Jianguo's hand is the one from their family!

They're actually coming back!

Her eyes narrowed, and she reached out to snatch it.

Chen Jianguo was prepared; he flipped his wrist and pulled back, leaving Liu Rui with nothing.

He took a step forward, wrapped his other arm around Liu Rui's waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and asked smugly, "Wife, how was it? Wasn't I amazing? I was going to give you a surprise—"

Seeing that the passbook was coming back, Liu Rui's anger subsided considerably, but his tone was still not much better: "At least you're somewhat useful. If you don't get it back today, you can sleep outside."

Chen Jianguo chuckled twice, feeling a surge of relief. Luckily, he had gotten the passbook back today; otherwise, he would have been sleeping under the stars tonight.

"Wife~"

Chen Jianguo, taking advantage of the situation, leaned close to Liu Rui's ear, his warm breath tickling her ear: "The punishment is all decided, but what about the reward?"

Liu Rui knew exactly what Chen Jianguo was thinking. Her face flushed, and she pushed him away, saying, "Are you crazy? We haven't even eaten yet!"

?

"You can eat anytime."

Chen Jianguo casually tossed the bankbook onto the dining table, and his other hand began to wander, pressing closer and closer, muttering, "When we were in school, our textbooks all said that food and sex are human nature, and in essence, it's all about eating."

Liu Rui wanted to say something more, but Chen Jianguo immediately covered his mouth with hers, turning all her protests into muffled whimpers. After struggling for a moment, she finally gave in.

The two entangled themselves from the living room to the bedroom — and then to the bathroom —

Five minutes later.

Chen Jianguo yawned and walked out of the toilet looking exhausted.

Having been holding back for two days, he was already bursting with energy. With nothing to do at work all day, he had nowhere to vent his boundless energy. Seeing the contrast in Liu Rui's anger only made him more restless.

.

I just had a sudden urge to have sex three times, and since I didn't eat dinner, I feel completely drained right now, and my steps are a little unsteady.

Liu Rui also came out of the bathroom, buttoning his clothes as he walked. His face was gloomy, his brows were furrowed, and the corners of his mouth were pursed into a straight line. There was no satisfaction or blush afterward. Instead, his eyes were full of disgust and dissatisfaction. He didn't even want to look at Chen Jianguo.

Chen Jianguo was completely oblivious to Liu Rui's displeasure. He plopped down at the table, picked up a piece of pig's head meat, stuffed it into his mouth, took a sip of porridge, and his eyes lit up.

The food was still warm.

He thought a long time had passed and was about to have Liu Rui reheat the food, but now it's saved him the trouble.

call!

Watching Chen Jianguo wolf down his food, an old saying popped into Liu Rui's mind: "He's good for nothing but eating."

She took a deep breath to suppress the nameless anger in her heart.

Forget it, I won't stoop to his level.

Liu Rui walked to the table and took the bankbook from Chen Jianguo's hand, feeling a little more at ease.

Only the bankbook, only the balance in the bankbook, could make her feel a little better.

She sat down opposite Chen Jianguo, as devout as a pilgrim, and opened the passbook in her hand.

As she opened the passbook, her pupils constricted and she felt as if she had been struck by lightning when her gaze fell on the balance column.

She thought she was hallucinating from anger at Chen Jianguo, so she rubbed her eyes hard and opened them again. The glaring "1" was still stubbornly there, without any change.

The air seemed to freeze, and there was a two-second silence.

Liu Rui jumped up from his chair, his chest heaving violently, and with a sudden swing of his arm, the passbook smashed into Chen Jianguo's face like a brick.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound.

Chen Jianguo, his mouth stuffed with vegetables and meat, was caught off guard by the sudden attack. His teeth chattered violently, and he bit his tongue, wincing in pain and tasting blood. He slammed his chopsticks on the table, glared at Liu Rui, and roared, "Eat your food properly! What's wrong with you?!"

"Am I going crazy?"

Liu Rui pointed at his own nose, laughing out loud in anger: "Chen Jianguo, you good-for-nothing! You brought back an empty bankbook, and you still have the nerve to sit here and eat? Why don't you just eat yourself to death! You can't even tell the difference in the family's money, what use are you!?"

Her words were like poison, each one piercing to the heart.

Before Chen Jianguo could react, Liu Rui stretched out his arm and swept it forcefully across the dining table.

"Splash—thud!"

Plates, bowls, along with the freshly bought pig's head meat and peanuts, were all swept onto the floor with a clatter.

The sound of the ceramic shattering was crisp and jarring. Pig's head meat, peanuts, and cabbage leaves were mixed with millet porridge and smeared all over the floor, with greasy soup still dripping down the edge of the table.

Chen Jianguo was so shocked by this sudden turn of events that he stood frozen in place for a full two seconds before he came to his senses from Liu Rui's cursing.

Empty passbook? How could it be an empty passbook?

He didn't care about getting angry or the mess on the floor; he bent down to pick up the passbook that had fallen into the soup.

His heart trembled as his fingers touched the damp cover.

He frantically flipped open the passbook, his eyes immediately falling on the balance column, and he froze instantly.

The withdrawal date and amount were clearly recorded.

The balance is just a single, lonely digit—one yuan!

My savings of over 1,300 yuan have dwindled to just one yuan.

Chen Jianguo was completely stunned, his mind buzzing, and he unconsciously muttered, "One yuan—"

"How come there's only one dollar left?!"

Dad took all the money, but he still left a dollar to humiliate him!

Chen Jianguo really misunderstood Chen Deshun on this point; leaving one dollar in the savings account was not meant to humiliate him.

If you really want to humiliate someone, there are plenty of ways to do it. Why waste a dollar?

The reason is that the savings bank has relevant regulations. If you withdraw all the money in your passbook, it will be considered an "inactive account" and will be cleared. If you want to use it again, you will have to open a new account, which is a troublesome procedure.

If you leave one dollar, the account will be considered an "active account" or "dormant account" and will not be closed.

When Chen Deshun withdrew the money, he did soften a little and left the account for him, so that he wouldn't have to go through the trouble of re-registering it in the future.

"Say something! Why is there only one dollar left in your savings account?!"

Liu Rui screamed hysterically, her shrill voice echoing throughout the entire apartment building: "That's our family's money, over 1,300 yuan! What right does he have to take it all?"

Chen Jianguo clutched his head and squatted on the ground in anguish, like a trapped beast driven to the brink of despair.

"Dad—how could he be so heartless! That's over 1,300 yuan! He only left me one yuan!"

He clutched his hair helplessly: "Why didn't they tell me they took the money! And they even lied to me! My grandparents must know too, but they didn't say anything. Are they just going to watch me get played like a fool?"

"Chen Jianguo, you good-for-nothing! I must have been blind to marry you!"

Liu Rui was trembling with rage, and he blurted out, "How dare you mention those two old bastards of yours? I bet they're in cahoots with your father, conspiring to swindle money from our family!"

"Grandpa and Grandma—they—how could they do this to me—"

Chen Jianguo shook his head in anguish, unable to believe it.

"They used to love me so much, always calling me their darling grandson—how could they treat me like this—" he said hoarsely, puzzled.

As he muttered to himself, a scene he had overlooked suddenly flashed through his mind.

In the afternoon, the scene of him begging his grandparents for help to get his bankbook after leaving the police station gradually became clear in his mind.

He felt something was off, but his mind was preoccupied with the passbook, and he didn't have time to think about it in detail.

When he brought the elderly couple from the countryside, although Grandma Shen was dressed neatly, her clothes were very rustic and looked like something a country girl would wear.

But this afternoon, she was wearing a new coat, with the price tag still on.

And Grandpa, his clothes and pants were the same, but he had changed into a new pair of shoes!

Yes! He remembered, he remembered everything! It must be Dad!

It must have been Dad who took out the money and used it to buy new clothes and shoes for Grandpa and Grandma!

Otherwise, where would they get the money to buy things?

"Chen Jianguo! Are you even your father's biological son?"

Liu Rui pointed at his nose and shrieked, "When other families produce an official, they all do their best to help him get promoted! But your family is the opposite, using all their resources to hold him back! Look at you, you're like an abandoned child no one cares about."

Chen Jianguo seemed not to hear Liu Rui's insults; at this moment, he was being consumed by fear and despair.

This month, we've run out of money completely; we're at our wits' end.

How are they supposed to survive?

What to eat? What to drink? What's free?

He suddenly remembered what his grandparents had said before, and abruptly looked up at Liu Rui: "Wife, how about—how about we don't give your salary to your family this month? Can we postpone it for a month? Just one month."
