Era: Life's Big Winner

Chapter 72: Houdunzi: You can rest assured that you are here with me

There were four people in the room. The other three remained silent. Only He Wenhui felt aggrieved and sobbed.

Gao Junling looked at them for a few seconds, opened her mouth, and swallowed the words back.

After all, she was an outsider after all. Although she called Yu Qiuhua Master, she couldn't do much.

If she had known what was going on before, she would not have followed here at all. She was stuck here, not knowing what to say.

Time passed slowly, the scorching sun slanted in through the window, the room was a bit stuffy, and it was expected to rain in this weather.

Ten minutes later, He Wentao's continuous cries of "ouch" and He Wenyuan's impatient scolding could be heard from a distance.

Soon, two people entered the room and were stunned at the same time.

He Wenyuan dropped He Wentao's ear, pointed to He Wenhui's side and said, "Go kneel next to your elder sister."

He Wentao didn't dare to disobey, he rubbed his ears and knelt down.

"Wentao, what are you thinking? Why do you have to destroy the relationship between your sister and your brother-in-law?" Yu Qiuhua frowned.

He Wentao turned his head and stared at Liu Hongchang with hatred, gritting his teeth and said, "Ever since I met him, I have hated him!"

Liu Hongchang nodded slightly and said expressionlessly, "He Wentao, you are really brave. You used my money to buy movie tickets and asked your sister to watch a movie with another man. It's probably hard to find a jerk like you in the world."

"I didn't bother to care about you before, you fool. Anyway, you will be a pustule in the future, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Now that you've done something so ruthless, don't blame me for being ruthless. From now on, you have to earn your living expenses and tuition fees by yourself. I won't give you a penny."

Yu Qiuhua, He Wenhui, He Wenyuan, and He Wentao all looked very pale. Just as Yu Qiuhua was about to speak, Liu Hongchang waved his hand and said:

"Listen to me. Since He Wentao is so powerful, let's go to Dunzi's coal mine today and let him see what it's like."

He stood up and walked to He Wentao, grabbed He Wentao's hair, and said condescendingly: "I hope you don't complain!"

"I won't go. I won't go to dig coal!" He Wentao yelled. It hurt so much when his hair was pulled. He wanted to move but was held down and couldn't.

He Wenyuan walked up and slapped He Wentao several times, and the guy immediately became obedient.

Yu Qiuhua hesitated and asked, "Hongchang, is Wentao only going to dig coal during the summer vacation, or will he dig there forever?"

"That depends on his performance." Liu Hongchang let go of his hand and replied.

"If he doesn't behave well, don't study anymore. His grades are terrible anyway, so let him start earning money to support the family sooner."

Gao Junling said quickly: "I will tell Dunzi to keep a close eye on Wentao. This kid is too unreasonable."

"Okay! Let's do as Hong Chang said." Although Yu Qiuhua felt sorry for him, she also knew that what He Wentao did was indeed too much.

At the same time, she also knew that He Wentao had grown up. If he wasn't so old, if he was only five or six years old, she would have given him away.

If she could have given He Wenda away directly, she could have also been cruel enough to give He Wentao away, without blinking an eye.

"As for Wenhui, Hongchang wants to beat or scold her, and I will never say a word. This girl looks smart, but she always does stupid things."

Liu Hongchang shook his head, stepped forward to help He Wenhui up, and said, "There is no need to beat or scold her. Write a 30,000-word self-criticism to me."

"Remember, you must have a deep understanding and reflect on your mistakes carefully. You must hand it over to me in the evening. I will send He Wentao to the coal factory first."

He Wenyuan said quickly: "I'll go with him, in case he doesn't obey."

"Thirty thousand words? I can't write that many words in a day. How can I write thirty thousand words for such a small thing?" He Wenhui said with a bitter face.

Liu Hongchang glared at her and said unhappily, "You are not allowed to eat, sleep, or go home until you finish writing. Keep writing!"

"I...I..." He Wenhui widened her eyes and was speechless for a long time.

Gao Junling covered her mouth, her shoulders trembling, and tried hard to hold back her laughter. This couple was so funny. They had to write a self-criticism if they did something wrong.

Yu Qiuhua said earnestly: "Wenhui, listen to Hongchang. If you do something wrong, you should be punished!"

"Okay!" He Wenhui said listlessly with a sad face.

Liu Hongchang nodded with satisfaction, turned and walked out. He Wenyuan pulled He Wentao, raised his chin, and motioned him to follow.

He Wentao was not afraid of anyone except his sister He Wenyuan. She not only talked, but also beat him, and beat him to death.

So he didn't dare to do anything stupid, so he had to get up from the ground and followed him out.

"Sister Junling, can I lend you my bicycle?" He Wenyuan said with a smile.

Gao Junling nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry about home, I will stay here and I'm not in a hurry to go back."

"Thank you, Sister Junling." He Wenyuan smiled happily and turned around to chase after her.

He Wenhui frowned and asked, "Wentao doesn't bring clothes, quilts, and daily necessities?"

"No need. We have extra ones over there. Hong Chang should know about it." Gao Junling shook her head.

Then he smiled and continued, "You'd better write a self-criticism quickly. I don't think Hong Chang is joking."

"Oh my! How can I write 30,000 words for such a trivial thing? It's so difficult for me." He Wenhui stomped her feet in anger.

"Hahaha..." Gao Junling finally couldn't help laughing, and Yu Qiuhua on the side also smiled:
"I want to teach you a lesson. You always spoiled Wenyuan and Wentao before. Now you are in trouble, right?"...

The streets were filled with steam and the heat was unbearable.

Liu Hongchang rode a bike alone, He Wenyuan took He Wentao with him, and the three of them went to get a letter of introduction before heading straight to the coal factory.

"Brother-in-law, can I move into your yard and live for a while during the summer vacation?" He Wenyuan negotiated.

"My grades have improved a lot this semester, all thanks to my elder sister's tutoring. Since you moved away, I don't know who to ask for help."

Liu Hongchang asked in confusion, "If you come to live with us, what will happen to your mother and Wenda?"

"That's easy. I'll work hard and go there once every morning, noon and evening to cook, wash clothes, take care of housework, etc. The rest of the time I'll stay in your yard."

Liu Hongchang nodded and said, "Okay, as long as you are not afraid of being tired, I have no objection, but you still have to discuss this matter with your sister."

"Hehe, my sister is easily persuaded. She will definitely agree if you beg her." He Wenyuan said with a smile.

Liu Hongchang glanced at He Wentao who was sitting in the back seat and said coldly, "No wonder you guys have become so lawless. It's all because of you!"

"Brother-in-law...please don't take me with you, okay? I'm very obedient now!" He Wenyuan said in a delicate voice.

He Wentao snorted and turned his head away.

He Wenyuan slapped him backhandedly and said unhappily, "Be nicer to your brother-in-law. Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

"Sister, are you still my sister? Why do you always speak for outsiders?" He Wentao was so angry that he couldn't help but complain loudly.

"Is my brother-in-law an outsider?" He Wenyuan frowned and said, "Come down and run after me. Don't fall behind, or you'll be in trouble."

"Goodbye. You'll get heatstroke if you run around in such hot weather. You'll have to put up with him." Liu Hongchang advised.

He Wenyuan's expression eased and he said, "He Wentao, you're lucky. Remember to behave well when you go to the coal factory."

He Wenyuan chattered all the way. It was so hard for him to be with Liu Hongchang, and he always had endless things to talk about.

When we arrived at the coal plant, we saw huge piles of coal everywhere that looked like pyramids. When the wind blew, dust flew all over the sky.

The surroundings were bare, the roads were black, the houses were black, and even most of the people were black.

As soon as He Wentao got here, he wanted to run away, but he was afraid that He Wenyuan would beat him, so he had to bite the bullet and remain silent.

Houdunzi is the deputy captain of the coal plant's safety management team. He is proficient in both technology and management. He is very successful here and has a great reputation. Everyone knows him.

Perhaps it is precisely because of his disability that he can focus on his work and do quite well in his career.

In a six-story office building, Liu Hongchang found Houdunzi and told him about He Wentao's situation.

"Okay, just leave it to me. I will definitely make him obedient." Houdunzi promised Liu Hongchang in front of He Wentao.

"Brother Dunzi, my mother also said that if he doesn't listen here, she can beat and scold him." He Wenyuan said with a faint smile.

Houdunzi glanced at He Wentao, nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, when you are here, even if you are a dragon, you have to coil around me."

He Wentao gritted his teeth, his cross-eyed eyes glaring at Liu Hongchang with even more resentment.

"This kid is a waste." Houdunzi shook his head and said with disgust, "He has no brains and is impulsive. If he really goes out into society, he will get into big trouble sooner or later."

Liu Hongchang sighed and said, "For what he did today, if it weren't for Wenhui, I would have crippled him!"

"You're really an asshole. You actually let your sister go to the movies with a stranger. What's going on in your head?" Houdunzi asked He Wentao strangely.

"Don't bother yourself. It has nothing to do with you!" He Wentao said with resentment on his face.

Houdunzi snorted, pointed at him and said with contempt: "That's it? Everyone can say harsh words, but who can you be harsh to? You can only be a bully in your own home, why don't you try to be a bully outside?"

Then he called a few people in the office and ordered, "Take this kid to the detention room first and lock him up for three days to calm him down."

"Let me go, let me go, I don't want to be in the coal factory." He Wentao was held by two big men. He struggled hard and shouted loudly.

He Wenyuan frowned slightly. Seeing his brother so pitiful, he felt a little distressed. He hesitated for a moment, afraid of making Liu Hongchang unhappy, so he didn't say anything.

She is a selfish person. If she can make He Wentao behave himself, she doesn't mind as long as he doesn't have any missing limbs.

Besides, because of Gao Junling, Houdunzi is an old acquaintance of the He family, so I believe he will not do anything to He Wentao.

After He Wentao was dragged away, Houdunzi said enthusiastically: "Hongchang, Wenyuan, you should stop coming here and have dinner before leaving."

"No, if we really have dinner, it will be too late to go back." Liu Hongchang shook his head and said, "Let's find a chance to drink next time!"

He Wenyuan smiled and said, "Yes, brother Dunzi, my mother, my sister, and sister Junling are all waiting for us to go back home!"

Houdunzi tried to persuade them for a few words, but seeing that the two men were determined, he stopped trying and sent them to the factory gate.

On the way back, passing by a small river, He Wenyuan discussed: "Brother-in-law, I want to go down to the river to take a bath. I was just in the coal factory with dust everywhere, and I felt very uncomfortable."

"I see you don't want to take a shower?" Liu Hongchang said without turning his head.

He Wenyuan looked shy and said with a smile: "I know you're still asking, so I want to try it."
