Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 311 Lin Qingping is my person

"Lin Qingping! You heartless slut! Get out here right now!"

Her mother could swear for an hour without repeating herself, using incredibly foul language. So foul that even Zhong Xiaoxiao, who came out with Lin Qingping, couldn't help but glance at her.

Lin Qingping pretended not to see it and continued walking down the street.

However, her mother was unable to fully express herself today.

After Lin Qingping watched Gu Juncheng walk out, she stood in front of her mother, who immediately fell silent.

"What did you just say? Say it again."

Wu Axiu's loud shouting and cursing at the hotel entrance had already attracted a lot of attention, making the entire entrance noisy. However, Gu Juncheng's appearance suddenly cooled down the hot weather and the clamor of the crowd.

Lin Qingping saw with her own eyes that her mother took two steps back, and her imposing aura dissipated.

Lin Qingping didn't go out again. She found a spot behind the hotel entrance where she could hide but also see what was happening outside, and quietly observed everything.

Wu Axiu had clashed with Gu Juncheng in the capital and had been genuinely frightened by him. So, when she saw him come down with a dark face, she immediately shrank back and her legs began to tremble.

But it was only for a moment. She suddenly remembered that she had a valid reason for coming today, and immediately straightened her back and became firm again. "Where is that little hussy Lin Qingping? Tell her to come out!"

"Just tell me what's wrong." Gu Juncheng stood like an iron tower, blocking the doorway firmly, making it impossible for anyone to break in.

Wu Axiu retorted angrily, "I'm her mother! Do I need to go through you to find her?"

"Yes!" This person doesn't waste a single word.

"You..." Wu Axiu was so angry she couldn't catch her breath, "I'm her mother!"

Gu Juncheng didn't move an inch, remaining as steady as a mountain, and coldly said, "Now, she's mine!"

Lin Qingping, who was hiding by the door, rolled her eyes: Who is? Who?

Zhong Xiaoxiao watched with great interest and even tugged at Lin Qingping, saying, "Lin Qingping, your husband is really impressive!"

Lin Qingping scoffed inwardly, offering no reply.

Wu Aixiu immediately started throwing a tantrum, sitting down on the ground and slapping her thigh as she cried, "Fellow villagers, you all come and judge this! How can a daughter be married off and then not be allowed to see me!"

The crowd began to murmur amongst themselves.

"Yes, this son-in-law is really outrageous."

"How can you treat your own family like this? It's clear the daughter isn't any better!"

Wu Aixiu immediately perked up, "That's right, he's the one who corrupted my daughter! He even ruined my son's wedding!"

She began to complain to the people around her about how her daughter and son-in-law were such a terrible person, "My son, the marriage was already settled, but these two heartless bastards went and spoke ill of my son, spread rumors about him, ruined his reputation, and caused their marriage to fall through..."

As she spoke, she started crying again, “Why am I so unlucky! I gave birth to such a daughter. I raised you with my own hands, tidied you up, sent you to university, and found you a good marriage. Even if you have no filial piety and don’t repay me, you shouldn’t hurt people like this…”

Upon hearing this, the onlookers became even more furious. "This is outrageous! How can children not fulfill their filial duties!"

"Yeah, right! Ungrateful! And he calls himself a college student! All that education is wasted!"

“I’m telling you, girls shouldn’t be allowed to study so much. They should just marry someone locally, help their younger brothers, and be filial to their parents. That’s the right thing to do.”

"That's not it. Studying should make one more sensible. Schools teach filial piety, so this daughter is heartless! Her lack of filial piety is mostly instigated by her son-in-law!"

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Wu Aixiu felt a surge of pride, but she didn't forget to put on a pitiful act, sobbing and crying, "I don't ask them to be filial to me, as long as they don't cause me trouble or harm us, I'll pretend I never had this daughter! But what you're doing is driving me, your father, and your brother to our deaths! I raised you with so much hardship, what have I done to wrong you that you treat me like this?"

"A daughter like that should be dragged out and made to kneel down in front of you and apologize!"

"Yes, the child is unfilial, it's because he hasn't been disciplined enough! If you don't discipline him for three days, he'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles. Just drag him out and give him a good beating!"

While wiping saliva from her face as if it were tears, Wu Aixiu secretly observed her surroundings. Seeing more and more people standing up for her, she felt a surge of joy. Her sobs rose and fell, "How could I dare to hit them? I just wanted them to go and talk to my in-laws, apologize, and admit that they were lying before, so that my son's marriage could proceed smoothly. That would fulfill my life's wish... How could I dare to hit them..."

"If you're too scared, we'll help you! I refuse to believe that with so many of us, we can't find one person! Come on! Let's go inside and find them!"

"go!"

The people who had been instigated were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to stand up for Wu Axiu. They thought to themselves, "We won't fight this man. All we have to do is rush in and drag the woman out."

Seeing this, Zhong Xiaoxiao became nervous and asked in a low voice, "Lin Qingping, what should we do? There are so many people, can your husband handle it? Should we help?"

But after saying that, Zhong Xiaoxiao was actually quite unsure, as it seemed that she and Lin Qingping couldn't really help with the fight...

Lin Qingping was very confident in Gu Juncheng's fighting ability. He wasn't afraid of these few people, or even a few more. The only thing that could restrain him was his status; he would never fight with ordinary people.

"Are you really coming?"

Gu Juncheng took the mop from the cleaning staff who were watching the commotion.

The wooden mop handle was quite thick, about as thick as Lin Qingping's forearm.

Gu Juncheng shoved the mop across his face, and with a thud of his back muscles, the mop handle snapped in two.

The group of people who were rushing forward, intending to storm into the hotel, suddenly stopped in their tracks. They all touched their knuckles and, after a moment's thought, realized that with that kind of strength, their arms and legs wouldn't be able to withstand many bends.

"Cough cough..." The person who had shouted "rush in!" the loudest earlier took two steps back and advised Wu Aixiu, "Auntie, I think you're all family, so it's better to discuss things together."

Wu Axiu saw this and thought, "This won't work?" So she decided to charge in herself.

She jumped up, tears streaming down her face, and rushed inside, yelling, "Come on! Since you're so fierce, come and kill me! Lin Qingping, come out here! If you have the guts to do bad things, just come out and kill me! Folks, it's not that I'm making a scene here, it's just that this couple has done so many bad things, no wonder they're childless! They've been married for so many years and can't have a child, it's retribution for their bad deeds! Lin Qingping, you barren hen, you'll get your comeuppance!"

Gu Juncheng held the broken mop horizontally in front of him, forming a natural barrier that Wu Aixiu couldn't get past no matter how hard she tried.

Gu Juncheng looked at Wu Axiu's tantrum, his eyes growing even colder. "You say you've been so good to Lin Qingping, and this is how you curse her?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Axiu rolled her eyes, becoming even more unreasonable and outrageous, "She wants to ruin my son's marriage and cause my Lin family to be childless, and I can't even curse her? I'll curse her to never have a son for the rest of her life! May neither of you have anyone to see you off in your old age! Lin Qingping! You come out here!"

Gu Juncheng let her hysterical outburst continue, only interjecting when she caught her breath, "I said, mother-in-law, do you know what this is?"

Gu Juncheng took out a folded kraft paper envelope from his pocket.

Wu Axiu didn't know many characters, but she recognized the words "labor reform," and her expression immediately changed.

"This contains your son's record of his conduct during his time in the capital's labor camp. Would you like me to read it to everyone?" Gu Juncheng held up the envelope, clearly displaying the red lettering of his work unit at the bottom.

Those in the crowd who could read and had sharp eyes immediately exclaimed, "It really is! It really is the word 'labor camp'!"

Immediately, a buzz of discussion arose among the onlookers.

Wu Aixiu looked around and saw that the people who had originally been on her side all seemed to have changed their expressions. Then she looked at the glaring words "reform through labor" on the envelope in Gu Juncheng's hand, and her face turned pale.

“Mother-in-law, you didn’t marry someone; you committed marriage fraud!” Gu Juncheng’s words were stern and resolute. “You were clearly in a labor camp in the capital, yet you lied to the girl that your family was building a business. You were clearly uneducated and tried to cheat on the college entrance exam, yet you lied that you loved reading…”

"What? Cheating in the college entrance exam?" The onlookers were shocked.

Gu Juncheng sneered, "It's too late now. If my mother-in-law is interested in bringing up old grievances, and if you all are interested in hearing stories, we can go to the county public security bureau first thing tomorrow morning. The case of you being tricked into buying fake college entrance exam questions for your son can still be found at the public security bureau!"

“You…” Wu Aixiu stared intently at Gu Juncheng, “Gu, don’t push things too far!”

Gu Juncheng only sneered, "Mother-in-law, you were in the wrong first."

Since Gu Juncheng said he could check the criminal record at the police station, what reason did the onlookers have not to believe him? They started to jeer, "So it was a marriage fraud! Which girl is so unlucky to end up with such a family?"

"Exactly, is marriage fraud illegal? Does anyone know the law? Can you explain it to me?"

"Whether it's illegal or not, we don't know, but everyone should remember this woman. If you have a daughter, never marry her off to her family!"

"Right, right, quickly memorize what she looks like. What's her surname again? Lin, right?"

"Yes, her surname is Lin, and I think she's from Linjia Village. We have relatives who know her. Her daughters are amazing; both of them got into universities in the capital!"

"Wow, why are daughters so promising while sons are so hopeless!"

"Who knows!"

Wu Aixiu was trembling with anger and shouted, "What marriage fraud? The girl was willing! Don't talk nonsense! That girl wasn't clean; she had a child before marriage. My son didn't mind and married her!"

Premarital impurity is the most shameless and extremely damaging attack on girls in this era.

Just as the onlookers were shocked and about to discuss, Gu Juncheng said coldly, "Mother-in-law, you'd better think carefully before you speak. Rumoring a young woman's reputation is no joke. Aren't you afraid her family will sue you? Why would a perfectly good young woman have a child before marriage? Doesn't your Lin Jiagui bear any responsibility?"
