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

Chapter 95 Each with their own ulterior motives, the Liu family plots!

Fifteen minutes ago.

Hospital ward.

Not long after Chen Jianguo left, Liu's father looked at his daughter on the hospital bed and asked in a deep voice, "What exactly happened to your injuries? You couldn't explain it clearly over the phone. I only heard that you were bullied by Chen Jianguo. What exactly happened?"

Liu Rui's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face as she sobbed, "Dad, Mom, you have no idea how much the Chen family bullies people—"

She recounted the whole story, embellishing it with details, and shifted all the blame onto the Chen family.

From Chen Deshun refusing to pay for Chen Jianguo's further education, to forcing Chen Jianguo to hand over his salary, and then to Chen Deshun stealing their family's savings account and withdrawing all the money, leaving only one yuan.

Finally, she recounted her argument with Chen Jianguo the previous night, how he dared to hit her and even demanded her wages.

Throughout the entire process, she distanced herself completely, portraying herself entirely as a wronged and bullied wife by her in-laws and husband.

It's truly heartbreaking to hear and brings tears to the eyes of anyone who hears it.

When Liu's parents heard that the Chen family was not paying them and were forcing them to hand over their wages, their faces turned quite ugly, but they could only mutter a few curses about the heartless and stingy misers.

But when she heard that Chen Deshun had withdrawn all the money from his savings account and that Chen Jianguo was eyeing Liu Rui's salary, Liu's mother was the first to lose her composure. She slapped her thigh and jumped up from her chair.

"Damn it! This old bastard is so old and does nothing right. Has his conscience been eaten by dogs? That's your money, young couple. What right does he have to take it? Is this robbery?!" Liu's mother's voice was shrill and sharp, echoing in the small hospital room.

"Exactly! He's such a scoundrel! What kind of father-in-law treats his daughter-in-law like this?"

"Chen Jianguo is a good-for-nothing. He can't even control his own father, yet he dares to take his anger out on his wife at home!"

"The Chen family is clearly trying to bully Liu Rui's family because they think they have no one to rely on!"

Liu Rui's two uncles and his younger brother Liu Qiang also joined in the indignant cursing.

The room reeked of gunpowder, with everyone spitting and spitting as they spoke, wishing they could grab Chen Deshun right then and there and skin him alive.

The ward was as noisy as a market.

"Knock knock knock".

There was a knock on the door, and a passing nurse pushed it open and poked her head in, frowning as she reminded, "Comrade, this is a ward. Please be quiet and don't disturb the other patients."

""

The patient next door has already complained, and this family is the same; they can't even calm down while hospitalized. What are they making such a fuss about?

The Liu family members exchanged glances, gradually calmed down, and lowered their voices in frustration, but their faces were still full of anger.

As soon as the nurse left, Liu Rui grabbed his mother's arm and said, choking back tears, "Mom, Chen Jianguo and I haven't earned a single penny this month. Our house was burgled, and all our savings tickets were stolen. How are we going to survive?"

"Not a single penny left?"

Liu Qiang interjected, his voice louder than anyone else's: "Didn't Chen Jianguo just go out to buy food? How come he doesn't have any money?"

Both uncles turned to look at Liu Rui. They had come all this way to support her. They didn't expect her to eat fish and meat every day, but at least they shouldn't be fed cabbage scraps like rabbits. And if she didn't have money, where would she stay at night?

Liu Rui snorted and said disdainfully, "Chen Jianguo's grandparents came over in the early morning and gave him twenty yuan. What can that do? There are many people in our family, and we can't last more than a few days."

Liu Qiang curled his lip, his face full of disdain: "Only two thousand? The Chen family is too stingy! They withdrew all the money from their savings account and only gave twenty? Are they treating us like beggars!"

Second Uncle spoke up leisurely, his words carrying a hidden meaning: "That's right, with so little money, how are we going to find accommodation? We can't possibly pay for our own lodgings at a guesthouse, can we? Niece, your eldest uncle and I only came to help you this time because of your mother's sake, putting aside our own work."

The eldest uncle nodded in agreement, "That's right, you have to make sure everything is arranged properly. Your parents are here too, you have to think about them, right?"

Liu Rui blushed. Of course, she understood what her uncle meant. He was giving her a warning. She quickly reassured him, "Uncle, Second Uncle, don't worry. When Jianguo comes back, I'll have him make the arrangements right away. You've gone through all that trouble to come from your hometown, so I definitely can't let you suffer any injustice."

"That's more like it."

The eldest uncle nodded in satisfaction and sat down again.

Liu's mother's eyes darted around, and suddenly she seemed to remember something. She asked, "Where's your dead father-in-law? Didn't he come to the hospital to see you?"

Liu Rui shook his head, gritting his teeth in hatred: "That old bastard, just mentioning him makes me angry! This whole mess is because of him! If he had given the money for his further education to Chen Jianguo earlier, if he hadn't taken our family's savings account, none of this trouble would have happened! I wouldn't be injured and hospitalized!"

"OK!"

Liu's mother's eyes widened, her anger flaring, and her voice involuntarily rose: "Does the Chen family think you're easy to bully, that the Liu family has no one to rely on? Their daughter-in-law is in the hospital, and they haven't even offered a word of concern, acting like nothing happened. Do they really think our family is a pushover, something to be bullied at will?"

Mr. Liu shook his head slightly and sighed, "This in-law is outrageous. No matter what, we're family. His daughter-in-law is injured and hospitalized. Even if he doesn't do anything to help, he should at least come and visit her. But instead, he's hiding. And he's supposed to be a factory worker."

Liu Qiang stood up, clenched his fist at the air, his muscles bulging: "Sis, don't worry! We're here, we'll definitely stand up for your in-laws! When I see him, I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget!"

The eldest uncle continued, "Chen Deshun must apologize to you and return the money in the savings account to you and your wife, otherwise this matter is not over."

"That's right! We can't let it go like this, or they'll keep bullying you in the future!" Second Uncle chimed in.

Liu Rui felt a surge of emotion; this was the feeling of home, and only her family truly cared for her.

A fierce glint flashed in Liu's mother's eyes: "My dear girl, don't worry, I will definitely get justice from the Chen family for you! This isn't over until they give us an explanation!"

Although Liu Rui was touched, she was still a little worried and said apprehensively, "Mom, my father-in-law is not the same as before. He is now very unreasonable and like a stubborn mule. A few days ago, when I went back with Chen Jianguo, he even had that chubby fourth son beat me up, made me write a letter of repentance, and was lectured by the parents' committee for a whole afternoon."

As she spoke, she pointed to her face: "Look, the bruises on my face haven't gone away yet."

"What the hell?!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qiang immediately exploded, rolling up his sleeves and ready to fight: "Are they crazy? They really dare to hit you? Fourth Brother—you mean that chubby kid? Where is he? I'm going to cripple him right now!"

"Stop it!"

Liu's mother scolded her son, saying that he hit people at the drop of a hat. It's fine in front of family members, but I'm afraid of outsiders who don't know the truth spreading rumors about him.

She looked at Liu Rui and said coldly, "This old man is really different from before; he's becoming less and less human! He even dares to order his son to beat his daughter-in-law. He's really something!"

My second uncle stroked his chin and said slowly, "This matter can't be left like this. If the Chen family won't show up, we'll go find them ourselves. With so many of us, are we afraid of them?"

"Yes! Let's go find him!" Uncle slapped his thigh. "They have to give us an explanation and pay us compensation!"

"That's right! Pay up!"

Upon hearing that an apology was still expected, Liu Qiang's eyes lit up: "If they don't pay, we'll smash their house to pieces!"

As everyone chimed in with their own opinions, their anger grew. Finally, Liu's mother took the lead and decided that they should act without delay and go to the Chen family to demand an explanation from Chen Deshun after dinner.

Liu Rui added weakly, "Mom, my father-in-law—he should be at the factory at this time."

"At the factory?"

Liu's mother was taken aback at first, then a wicked smile appeared on her face: "That's even better! Let's go straight to their factory! I want to see if he still has any shame in front of so many of his colleagues and superiors! If he doesn't, we'll have a good talk in front of his colleagues about what kind of person he is, how he bullies his daughter-in-law, and how he destroys his son's family harmony!"

As soon as the suggestion was made, everyone applauded and cheered, their eyes lighting up.

Making a scene at someone's home only affects the neighbors.

Making a scene at someone's workplace is a serious matter that directly affects their job and future! That's a ruthless and decisive move!

"That's a great idea!"

My eldest uncle was the first to agree, his little scheme already in mind.

The bigger the commotion, the better. Ideally, it should drag on for ten days or half a month, so he can take this opportunity to stay in the city a little longer and have his nephew-in-law treat him well with good food and drinks.

The second uncle nodded repeatedly, his thoughts coinciding with those of his eldest brother.

Liu Qiang was so excited that his face turned bright red.

Before he came, his parents secretly told him that he must make a good impression on his sister when he went to the city and help her make a good impression.

If he performs well, his brother-in-law Chen Jianguo will find him a job in the city. Then he'll be a city dweller, and he'll be able to hold his head high when he goes back to the village to find a wife. Maybe he can even pay less for the bride price.

Liu Qiang thought about it and realized there was such a good thing, so he followed along without saying a word.

That's why, as soon as he entered the room and saw Chen Jianguo pulling at his sister, he rushed up without thinking and punched him twice to establish his authority.

Hearing that they were going to cause trouble at the factory, he felt his chance to shine had come. He patted his chest and said, "Mom, Sister, don't worry. When we get to the factory, I'll be the first one there! I guarantee I'll teach that old man a lesson he won't forget!"

"Absolutely not! What kind of person would you be, a junior like you? You'd be drowned in spittle!" Liu's father warned.

Looking at her family, Liu Rui's eyes rekindled with hope. Now that her family was backing her up, she was sure they could get all their money back.

The atmosphere in the ward became excited. The Liu family members were all eager to get started, just waiting for Chen Jianguo to bring back the food so they could fill their stomachs before heading to Chen Deshun's factory in a grand procession.
