Yan Gui Guo also knew he was too excited, but he couldn't help it. Who knew the investigation he was conducting was unbearable for him.
Fortunately, it wasn't long.
The construction site finished work, and the workers poured out in a rush, crowding in front of Zhang Liunian's stall.
Zhang Liunian was busy for nearly an hour.
"Let's go!"
After Zhang Liunian sold out, Zhao Zhijie stepped forward to help him carry the iron bucket, and the three of them once again came to the state-run restaurant.
This time they chose a private room. With no one to disturb them, Zhang Liunian stopped playing coy and immediately dropped a bombshell.
"The reason your parents were beaten and sent to the cowshed to die in a foreign land is because your wife reported them."
Boom!
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a bolt from the blue. Yan Gui Guo almost couldn't breathe.
He couldn't believe it, his whole body trembled non-stop, truly stunned by Zhang Liunian's words.
He had thought of many possible truths when he came, but he never imagined that his parents' deaths would be related to her.
His parents were intellectuals. They had been careful during the turbulent times, yet they still couldn't escape the fate of being reported.
He had always thought it was enemies who did it, never expecting it would be his own wife.
"Hoo hoo..."
Heavy breaths came from Yan Gui Guo.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhijie quickly stood up and supported him with his hand, "Old Yan, you need to stay calm. Things are not confirmed yet, please don't have any accidents."
Although he said this, Zhao Zhijie knew in his heart that it was most likely true. Because they had investigated what Zhang Liunian said last time, and it was absolutely true.
If he said this again this time, it was highly likely that his sister-in-law was involved.
It's just that this matter was too big for them to accept and digest.
The hatred of killing father and mother, once confirmed, Old Yan might even have the thought of killing his sister-in-law.
At this moment, Yan Gui Guo's mind was buzzing, he could hear nothing, see nothing, and darkness appeared before his eyes.
His parents were harmed by his own wife?
Why? Why would she do that?
When she married him, his parents treated her well, never saying a harsh word.
Not only that, but they also helped them raise their children and subsidized their living expenses. How could she commit such a heinous act against them?
"Why did she do it?" Yan Gui Guo roared hysterically, this sentence using all his strength.
Zhang Liunian looked at him and said earnestly, "Because in her eyes, your parents did not treat her well, and she wanted to be with Qian Xuehai, so she had to get rid of the obstacles."
"Nonsense, how did my parents not treat her well? To allow us to get married, they first made space, then found her a job, and then helped raise the children. Without my parents, how would she have such a good life?" Yan Gui Guo was furious. Li Meijia doing this was because his parents treated her badly?
It was truly the biggest joke he had ever heard in his life.
What was not good? The truth is she wanted to have an affair with Qian Xuehai!
Li Meijia, Qian Xuehai, you two wait. I will definitely ruin your reputations.
"Comrade Zhang, are my one son and daughter my biological children?" Yan Gui Guo was not afraid of losing face. Since Zhang Liunian knew about his wife's affair, he now just wanted to confirm if his children were his.
As soon as he said this, Zhang Liunian felt even more pity for him.
Seeing his expression, Yan Gui Guo's heart sank to the bottom. It seemed the children were not his either.
Li Meijia, Qian Xuehai, he would not let these two adulterous couple off.
"You don't need to say anything more. It seems the two children are not mine either, right?" Yan Gui Guo was so angry he was practically spewing smoke.
"No, your daughter is yours, but your younger son is not." Zhang Liunian quickly spoke to comfort him as he saw despair on his face.
But this did not comfort him. Although his younger son was small, he was already ten years old, which meant he had been wearing a cuckold's hat for at least ten years.
"Heh heh!" Yan Gui Guo's body went limp, and he slumped back into the chair, his expression shifting between ferocity, despair, and resentment...
Zhang Liunian felt immense sympathy for his predicament, but it was difficult to offer comfort when such a thing had happened.
After hearing Zhang Liunian's words, Zhao Zhijie was also extremely shocked.
Looking at his old friend's devastated state, he also wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say, so he simply cursed, "That bitch Li Meijia, to treat you like this, we can't let her off easily."
Yan Gui Guo endured the pain that made it difficult to breathe, gritting his teeth, "I will not let them go. Don't they want to be together? I will let their affair be seen by everyone in the world, so they can never be together."
"I will help you, Old Yan. The old goes and the new comes. We are still young, we can remarry. Such a woman is better off without."
"Better off without."
"..."
The two of them severely criticized Li Meijia in front of Zhang Liunian. Yan Gui Guo also vented his frustration, and his heart began to calm down.
As his mood calmed, his mind began to work.
"How do you know about such old matters? And how did you confirm that my younger son is not mine?"
Yan Gui Guo regained his composure and was curious how Zhang Liunian knew so many truths.
"What's there to confirm? You can figure it out by listening to the words they say when they're having an affair." Zhang Liunian meant that he had stumbled upon it, and all the truths were heard from their mouths, not as complicated as they might have thought.
This explanation was a bit of a stretch, but Yan Gui Guo couldn't deny it. Zhang Liunian didn't have such good luck.
Perhaps he had bumped into that adulterous couple by chance? It wasn't impossible.
Putting aside this question, Yan Gui Guo couldn't stay any longer. He was eager to have some quiet time to think about his next move.
"Regarding the two jobs you mentioned last time, I agree to give them to you. The factory happens to need two movers, and you can handle them as you see fit.
As for the cooperation matters, I also agree. All detailed content will be handed over to Old Zhao. You guys can discuss it, and I'll be leaving first."
Yan Gui Guo wanted to go back and plan how to deal with those two. Saying this, he got up and left.
"Old Yan, I'll go back with you." Old Zhao, worried about his old friend, stood up but then stopped.
His good brother had asked him to stay and talk with Zhang Liunian just now, so leaving now might not be appropriate.
"You guys go ahead. We can talk about cooperation in the afternoon or tomorrow." Zhang Liunian was not in a hurry. Since Yan Gui Guo had offered two jobs and planned to cooperate, there was no rush.
"Old Zhao, you stay. I'm fine." Yan Gui Guo placed a hand on Zhao Zhijie's shoulder, signaling him to stay with his eyes, then looked at Zhang Liunian, who remained calm as ever, and he began to think highly of him.
Old Zhao seemed to understand his intention, nodded, and instructed, "After we finish talking, I'll come to find you."
Yan Gui Guo said nothing and left directly.
After his good brother left, Zhao Zhijie sat down again and took the initiative to discuss the cooperation matters between them.
"How do you want to cooperate with us?" Zhao Zhijie tossed the topic to Zhang Liunian.
