Chapter 112 The Last Wish of Father and Daughter in the 50s 2

Li Jinlan lived on the street behind the textile factory's staff quarters. The man she was with was a worker at the sawmill. He was a divorced man and was not as good as Gu Xiaobao.

Apart from his lame leg, Gu Xiaobao was quite good-looking, but thick eyebrows and big eyes were the most popular look nowadays, and that guy just happened to fit the aesthetic taste of Li Jinlan, a native.

That man knew that Li Jinlan was taking her ex-husband's retirement pay, but he still spent it with a clear conscience. He is not a good person either.

It is working hours now, and only Li Jinlan and her three stepchildren are at home. The three children are not yet of school age and are all taken care of at home by Li Jinlan.

"Dad, can't you pick up objects from the air?" Chang'an was puzzled. He always took them by himself. What kind of weird hobby was this?

Gu Laoliu: ...

Can he say he forgot?

Can not

So he made a specious argument, "How can taking something remotely compare to taking it manually?"

Chang'an doesn't understand why her father always has so many strange feelings of accomplishment?

"Okay", let's respect the hobbies of the elderly.

After being reminded by Chang'an, Gu Laoliu finally reacted. He no longer insisted on going into the house to search and taking away the money belonging to Gu Xiaobao.

There was a total of 1,500 yuan, but now there is only 1,000 yuan left, and they spent 500 yuan.

"Where did they go? They spent five hundred dollars a month."

The monthly living expenses for an ordinary working-class family are only a dozen yuan, and the monthly living expenses for a frugal family are less than ten yuan.

The family that Li Jinlan is following now has two adults and three children, a family of five, and they spend 500 yuan a month? Did they eat the gold?

Gu Laoliu took the money, curled his lips and said, "That man's job is to spend Gu Xiaobao's money to buy land."

He also searched a bit and found that this family was really poor. Apart from the 1,500 yuan that Li Jinlan brought, there was only the twenty or so yuan salary that the man had just received.

For the sake of the three children, he did not take the money. The three children were all kind souls, and it should be the good karma of their biological mother. However, with such a father and Li Jinlan as their stepmother, the three children would not have an easy life in the future.

But they will eventually grow up safely, so there is no need to worry too much. No matter how bad a father is, he will not kill his own son. It's just that life will be a little harder, and their lives will get better when they grow up.

Gu Laoliu took Chang'an and Gao Yi out of the alley. Not long after, comrades from the Public Security Bureau found Li Jinlan and took her directly back to the Public Security Bureau.

The public security comrades were furious after hearing the confessions of those six people. How could there be such morally corrupt people in this world?

Do you dare to take veterans’ money?

If they don't handle this matter properly, how much it will hurt the hearts of those comrades who are defending their country?

Li Jinlan refused to repent, "I am his wife, so what if I spend his money?"

Since you say so, then they will not follow the procedure. It can only be considered that Li Jinlan is unlucky. The person she met today is also a person who is always on the edge of being immoral.

This man happened to be a brother of Gu Xiaobao from the same village. He was transferred to another place to assist with work some time ago and just came back yesterday. He encountered this incident as soon as he went to work today.

He closed the notebook, put the cap on his pen back into his chest pocket, leaned lazily back on the chair, crossed his long legs leisurely, and folded his hands on his abdomen.

Gu Yuanfang lowered his eyes slightly and looked down at Li Jinlan, "You said you are Gu Xiaobao's wife? Do you have any evidence? Who can prove it? Where are the witnesses? Where are the physical evidence?"

"Since you said you were Gu Xiaobao's wife, then why did you live with another man and call yourselves husband and wife?"

As long as he was there, there would be no witnesses. As for physical evidence? Unfortunately, Li Jinlan certainly didn't have any. It had only been a few years since the marriage license was first issued. Most people didn't have this legal awareness. Holding a wedding banquet at home was considered a marriage.

Marriage certificates were first issued in 50, and it is only 52 years now. There is still a long way to go to publicize the law, especially in remote mountain villages where information is cut off. Even if there is legal publicity in the countryside, most people will not take it seriously.

Gu Xiaobao and Li Jinlan got married in 47. He joined the army in the autumn of 48 and followed the troops to the front line.

The reason why he received such a high pension was because he had made many contributions, and also because he was injured and became lame while rescuing his comrades, so his comrades raised some money to thank him.

The severance pay included gifts from his comrades, and I was afraid that he would not want to accept it, so I discussed with my superiors to give him the money together with the severance pay.

The 1,500 yuan not only contains the kindness of her comrades, but also the kindness of her leaders, so this money is not something that Li Jinlan can spend whenever she wants.

Li Jinlan was a little confused. She couldn't explain why she lived with another man, but she insisted that she was Gu Xiaobao's wife and it was natural for her to use her man's money.

"Everyone in Mingshan Village is a witness, and my family can also testify," but she didn't know what the physical evidence was.

"Really? Then my colleagues have already gone to Mingshan Village to invite Village Chief Zhao and the Li family from Shangwei Village to come over."

Gu Yuanfang complained in his heart, how did his fourth aunt find such a stupid wife for Gu Xiaobao? Is this the "good" girl that the matchmaker said was hard to find even with a lantern?

Li Jinlan had never seen Gu Yuanfang in Mingshan Village, so she didn't know him.

Gu Yuanfang served in the army when he was young and was always on the front line with the troops. Later, he was transferred to work at the Public Security Bureau in his hometown. He was too busy with work and had no time to go home. His mother hasn't seen him for seven or eight years.

Aunt Gu tiptoed over two mountains and found the county public security bureau. She waited for three or four days before she saw her son who had returned from another place.

He was relieved to see that his son was safe and sound. In order not to disturb his son's work, he just had lunch with him and then returned to the village.

Gu Yuanfang wanted to send her off, but the old lady refused and told him to work hard and live up to the Party and the people.

Before Village Chief Zhao and the Li family arrived, Wu Dazhi, the man who lived with Li Jinlan, was taken back to the police station by the public security comrades.

Upon learning that Wu Dazhi had also been arrested, Li Jinlan panicked, fearing that he would admit to their relationship. Wouldn't that invalidate her denial just now?

Even if Wu Dazhi was not arrested, Li Jinlan's denial would not be valid, and Gu Yuanfang was just going through the motions.

Village Chief Zhao naturally favors the villagers. They will know what to do with just a little guidance.

The Li family didn't dare to say more. It was their daughter who did something wrong, and they had no reason to be on Li Jinlan's side. She took so much money, and if she returned to the Li family, they would find a way to help her get some compensation.

Now this stupid girl is taking the money to raise a child for another man, can they tolerate this? Definitely not.

Li Jinlan had already turned her back on him, so why would her parents help her? Anyway, they had already lost face in the whole village because of this matter, so they didn't care about losing face again.

Wu Dazhi is a big coward. He put all the blame on Li Jinlan. "I know nothing. Li Jinlan told me that her husband had died, her in-laws' family wouldn't accept her, and she couldn't go back to her parents' home, so she had to find another way out."

"I took her in because I felt sorry for her. She didn't tell me that the money was her ex-husband's retirement pay. If I had known that, I would definitely not have dared to use it."

Anyway, he knew nothing and it was all Li Jinlan's fault.

They are really a perfect match, a perfect match.
