Chapter 29 I have been sentenced, are you kidding me now that you forgive me?
In many cases, a good reputation is a shield.
You can even avoid a jail sentence.
Take Cheng Dehai for example, if he didn't have a good reputation, he wouldn't have struggled twice before being stepped on by Cheng Guanli.
A good reputation is the icing on the cake for people with upright views, but it is a disguise for evil people.
If a bad person can maintain a good reputation throughout his life, then he will be a good person until his death.
Of course Cheng Guanli knew the importance of a good reputation, but when he came back and faced the powerful Cheng family and the unscrupulous Liu family, he had to show his fierce side.
Now that the Cheng family has lost power, although Cheng Dehai has not yet been formally sentenced, the pension issue is under investigation, and there is a high probability that he will no longer be able to work in the machinery factory.
The Liu family was also brought down by their own arrogant tactics.
Then there is no need for Cheng Guanli to have a character who is easy to get into trouble and gets into fights at every turn.
When it comes to establishing a good personality, of course, filial piety, hard work, respecting the elderly and caring for the young, being eager to help others, generously forgiving others' mistakes, etc. are most effective.
Just like the TV series I watched before traveling through time, Widow Qin in it had a character of being filial, respecting the elderly and caring for the young, and she became a good person praised by everyone in the courtyard.
In fact, she is more selfish than anyone else.
Cheng Guanli didn't want to imitate her, he just didn't want to become a villain who would shake his head and curl his lips when others mentioned her.
With the reminder of the old juncture, Cheng Guanli felt that it was time to pretend to be a good person.
It happened that the machinery factory's pension investigation team called him the next day and found him.
Let him return to the courtyard to receive his pension.
Due to Cheng Dehai's timely rescue, he cooperated 180% with the investigation.
In addition to insisting that he was helping Cheng Guanli save the pension, he always said whatever he asked, and always said that he could hand over the pension and more than a year's subsidies to Cheng Guanli at any time.
As for Cheng Guanli’s food and drink expenses before jumping in line, he claimed that he helped Cheng Guanli voluntarily, not from the subsidy, and he did not ask Cheng Guanli to pay back a penny.
After calculating the accounts clearly, Cheng Dehai asked Liu Aimei to give all the money to the investigation team.
Please ask the investigation team to transfer it to Cheng Guanli with his apology.
Cheng Guanli said hello to Teacher Huang and hurried home after lunch.
When he got home, he saw that people from the machinery factory's investigation team were waiting for him at Cheng's house in the backyard.
A death benefit of RMB 500 and a survivor's allowance of RMB 30 per month for a year add up to RMB 860.
In fact, Cheng Guanli's father passed away five years ago, and these pensions were already very high, equivalent to the standards for fallen soldiers at the same time.
A large part of the reason is that his father never made any mistakes during his lifetime and was still a foreman in the canteen.
Now that the money was handed over to Cheng Guanli without any change, it was indeed Cheng Dehai who saved it for him.
Mrs. Cheng said: "Guan Li, no matter how much trouble you make, I treat you as my grandson. Who makes us a family? In fact, your second uncle has never touched this money. He is just waiting for you to get it all when you get married."
I leave it to you."
Liu Aimei also wanted to say something open and honest, but she couldn't imitate her mother-in-law. She opened her mouth several times but no words came out.
Seeing the money handed into Cheng Guanli's hands, her heart hurt as if it had been cut out with a knife.
Brothers Cheng Jianwen and Cheng Jianwu stood aside and said nothing. It was obvious that they were so angry that they wanted to curse.
Cheng Guanli borrowed money, blinked to keep from crying, and pinched his palms fiercely to keep from laughing.
After brewing his emotions for a few seconds, he asked slightly sadly: "Grandma II, when will my second uncle come back?"
Mrs. Cheng shook her head and said, "Let the comrades in the factory tell you this."
Leader Liu of the investigation team said: "Comrade Cheng Dehai needs to receive three months of education in the detention center. If you forgive him, you can take time to visit him."
Cheng Guanli said sadly: "When I saw the money, I saw the brotherly friendship between my father and my second uncle during his lifetime. Now that my second uncle has realized his mistake, of course I have to forgive him. I will go to the detention center to visit him.
Tell him I forgive him."
Team leader Liu nodded and said: "Well done! Comrade Cheng Guanli, your generous and forgiving spirit is worth learning from. When I get back, I will tell the factory workers about your forgiveness of Comrade Cheng Dehai."
"Stop talking, I, I will go to the institute to find my second uncle! Goodbye, team leader Liu, and goodbye, second grandma and second aunt!"
After Cheng Guanli said that, he turned around and ran out. He was afraid that he would laugh.
After leaving the gate of the courtyard, Cheng Guanli let out a long breath and couldn't help but smile: "It's cool~! If you dare to eat my house, you will have to detain me for three months if you spit out the money! Huh, this time you are prepared in advance, you have to
Let’s have a good chat with you, and you won’t be so lucky next time!”
Cheng Guanli took a bus to the detention center, checked in, and then went into the visiting room to wait.
Ten minutes later, Cheng Dehai came to the visiting room.
After seeing Cheng Guanli, he frowned and couldn't squeeze out a smile.
He said coldly: "Guan Li'er, are you satisfied this time?"
"Second uncle, don't say that. I'm always a talkative and generous person. I told the investigation team in the factory that I have forgiven you. I came here just to tell you this. Don't feel any psychological pressure inside. Just be fine.
Transformation, after you come out, we can have a good drink together."
Cheng Dehai glanced at Cheng Guanli meaningfully.
He frowned and said, "Can you finish laughing outside and then come in? I've already been sentenced and you're kidding me now that you're here to say forgive me? What's the point of saying this? I think I won't see you next time you come back."
It’s necessary!”
Cheng Guanli chuckled and said: "Farewell, second uncle, you said this is superficial. Am I here to see a joke? On the surface, I am, but in fact, I am not. I am here to have a heart-to-heart chat with you."
"What are you talking about? Do I need to talk to you?"
"Of course, there are no outsiders here, we can talk openly."
"Then tell me, and I'll listen, what do you want?"
"Alas..." Cheng Guanli sighed.
"Second uncle, I won't pretend to you anymore. To be honest, I'm going to be merciful this time. When you asked me to go to the northwest to jump in the queue, you were going to let me die outside. Compared to that, I'm kind enough. Fortunately,
I have grown a lot in four years, so whether I sentence you to three months or three years, that’s what I deserve.”
"Hmph, it seems that you are no longer the ignorant child you were before. There is really no need to pretend when we are alone together. What do you want? Continue fighting?"
"Hey! Who makes me a good person? I don't want to see others suffer. If you don't want me to take revenge, don't make any plans for a house in the future, including Mr. Guan's house in the backyard. I guess you won't have the shame to go to work in the machinery factory after you leave.
No matter what job or business you do in the future, it is best for us to go our separate ways. Once we cross paths or get involved, I guarantee that you will lose more than you gain."
"Hmph, I finally figured it out. You are here to laugh and threaten. Young man, I advise you not to be too arrogant. The greatest prosperity will inevitably lead to decline!"
"Don't worry, your two sons are neither civilized nor martial. You might as well educate them well, otherwise it will be too late by the time you lament the misfortune of your family."
"Boy, are you finished?"
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. I can't waste any more time with you. Second uncle, I hope you have a happy time there. I'll pick you up when you come out."
"Thank you for your kindness. No need. From now on, you can take your Yangguan Road and I'll cross my single-plank bridge!" This chapter has been completed!
