Chapter 335: 335 This move is harmful, but useful!

At this point, Ruan Shu had some doubts that needed clarification.

"Why did you go to Yingzhou’s place, and how did you happen to know that Yingzhou got a partner?"

Gu Ren’s expression stiffened.

He touched the tip of his nose, feeling guilty.

Uh...

He pondered for a moment and then decided to come clean.

"A few days ago, Zhengzheng ran off to Anping County alone to find Yingzhou and got picked up by Yingzhou’s partner..."

Afterwards, Gu Ren had inquired about Su Zheng’s ’adventure’ story.

It turned out that the kid had met a kind-hearted person on the train.

That kind-hearted person had planned to take him to the Public Security Comrade.

But Su Zheng had been sly and quietly ran away without making a sound.

That’s how he was picked up by the man rumored to be a cannibal and then was saved by Tangtang in the end.

One must admit, the brat was really lucky; he was just too mischievous.

Hearing that her grandson had almost been lost, Ruan Shu’s face darkened.

Her voice was tinged with anger.

"What? Zhengzheng was almost lost because of you two? How can you call yourselves parents?"

She was both angry and scared.

In her heart, she felt even more grateful to Lin Tang.

It seemed the young girl was kind-hearted; after all, in these times, who would be willing to pick up a freeloader?

At that time, Gu Ren had also been shocked by his son’s daringness.

Knowing the family’s retrospective fear, he indeed admitted his fault.

"...Aqi and I know we were wrong."

Ruan Shu guessed that her daughter and son-in-law must have been frightened as well, but there were still things that needed to be said.

She fell silent for a bit, then said seriously:

"If you don’t want to leave Zhengzheng with his grandparents, you’d better pay more attention.

If Zhengzheng’s grandparents find out their grandson was nearly lost, I’d like to see how you explain it to them."

The eldest grandson was the apple of the old Su couple’s eye.

If he suffered a small cut, the two old folks would be so distressed they’d wish to take his place.

If they knew the grandson had been lost, God knows what they would do!

Thinking of his in-laws who spoiled their son unconditionally, Gu Ren felt a mix of laughter and helplessness.

His voice carried a note of helplessness, "Mom, it’s precisely because you all spoil Zhengzheng that the kid thinks he can do anything."

Ruan Shu, feeling a little guilty after being rebuffed, retorted stubbornly, "We hardly get to see Zhengzheng, how can we spoil him? If you want to blame someone, blame your in-laws."

Gu Ren: "..."

You might not have time to see him, but the gifts keep on coming, and calling every few days is still true, right?!

And occasionally backing up Su Zheng, that’s you guys too, right?!

Gu Ren silently ranted but didn’t say it out loud.

Her mother could always find a way to counter her arguments.

"Su Zheng has already been disciplined by Aqi, and I believe he won’t dare to do it again," Gu Ren said.

After running away from home once, all his pocket money was confiscated.

Let’s see if that little rascal dares again!

This time, neither Ruan Shu nor Gu Yu felt sorry for their eldest grandson.

Daring to run away from home, they were only worried that their son-in-law was too tender-hearted.

After chatting a bit more, they finally hung up the phone...

Su Zheng, who had wanted to chat affectionately with his grandparents, watched wide-eyed as his mother hung up the phone.

The child’s eyes widened in shock.

"Mom, why did you hang up? I haven’t talked to my grandparents yet," he said, dissatisfied.

Gu Ren laid back, arms crossed, and gloated:

"Your grandparents don’t want to deal with a naughty child who ran away from home..."

Su Zheng’s face puffed up, and he protested, "Who’s a naughty child? You and Dad wanted to go see my uncle alone and didn’t take me!"

"If you don’t take me, then I’ll go by myself."

As he spoke, the child copied Gu Ren’s pose, with arms crossed over his chest.

He tilted his little chin up haughtily.

Su Qi walked over, patted Su Zheng’s head with his palm, and said warmly:

"If you really want to go, tell me and your mom.

If you run off quietly, what would we do if a bad person actually took you away?"

"By then you’ll be locked up in the mountains, forced to work all day without even a full belly, calling for heaven won’t help and calling for earth won’t respond."

"Forget about meat and sugar, even wishing for a single piece of corn bread would be in vain..."

Su Zheng’s small face turned pale.

Remembering the bad person she had encountered, she finally became scared.

Su Qi had warned her several times, yet the child had remained indifferent.

Seeing her son finally giving in, Su Qi said, "Are you scared now? If you know what’s good for you, don’t make the same mistake again."

Su Zheng nodded frantically.

"I understand."

She could not bear the thought of living without meat and sugar!

Su Qi only believed that her words had taken root in her son’s heart.

She thought her guidance had been effective.

Little did she know, the young boy simply couldn’t bear to part with the meat and sugar he loved so much.

While the family was talking, Gu Yingzhou returned.

Gu Ren hurriedly approached and asked with concern, "Yingzhou, have you resolved it?"

Gu Yingzhou nodded, "It’s resolved."

Gu Ren continued, "What was it about? I saw you and Tangtang leave in a hurry."

She wondered what the urgent matter could’ve been...

Gu Yingzhou’s expression softened.

Mentioning his partner brought a good mood to his eyes.

"It was nothing serious."

"Tangtang took the lead in setting up a sauce factory at their brigade. The sauce they produce tastes good and naturally, there are many orders. Some people got envious of it.

Today, those people went to the village to cause trouble, and now... they should be enjoying some tea at the Public Security Bureau."

Gu Yingzhou was aware that the backbone behind Wu Xiangqian and the others was Ning Uncle’s ’ne’er-do-well’ son Ning Mingda from the Ning Family.

This man was covertly involved in the black market, not daring to let anyone find out, especially not Ning Uncle.

So he was not to be feared!

However, since Ning Mingda dared to covet public property that wasn’t his, he couldn’t blame Gu Yingzhou for being unkind.

Thinking of the letter he had asked Jing Wei to secretly deliver to the Ning Family just before he got home, the corners of Gu Yingzhou’s mouth lifted slightly with a somewhat sinister arc, like a devil revealing its horns.

That letter should be enough to give Ning Mingda a hard time, right?

He had learned this trick from the little girl, after all.

It might seem harsh, but the key is to hit the snake at its weakest, and it works!

Gu Ren, noticing the ill-intentioned smile on Gu Yingzhou’s face, rubbed her arm.

"What did you do? Why such a sinister smile?"

It felt like he had dug a hole and was waiting for someone to fall in.

In an instant, Gu Yingzhou restored his image of serene and lofty calm.

He reined in his smile.

Knitting his brows, he said with an upright and earnest expression:

"You say I don’t talk properly, but do you?

What do you mean by ’sinister’? That’s simply the wrong word. Clearly, this is the satisfied smile of someone who has redeemed a wayward youth."

If Ning Mingda doesn’t realize that public property is untouchable, how can he grow up to take on the responsibilities of the Ning Family?

He was doing this for Ning Mingda’s own good.

Better to fall hard now than to end up in the bureau one day!

Ning Mingda, bedridden for half a month after being whipped due to that letter, cursed furiously, "..."

I thank your whole family, for being so thoughtful on my behalf!

Gu Ren’s mouth twitched.

Redeeming a wayward youth, huh?

Why don’t you just ascend to the heavens...

"Just be careful not to overdo it," Gu Ren said.

Gu Yingzhou nodded with a nonchalant expression.

-

In the county town.

Outside a rather grand house.

Ning Mingda, upon learning that Wu Xiangqian had been taken to the Public Security Bureau, was both shocked and angry.

A fist slammed into a tree.

"Damn it, Wu Xiangqian, you useless fool!"

After cursing, he looked at the messenger, "I understand. You may go now."
