Landlady who likes to hoard land

Xu Jianren paused for a moment, then threw another tantrum.

"Officers, did you see that? He treats me like this all the time. A while ago, he even used dirty tricks, kneeling down and asking to borrow my lifespan."

"Officers, please take me away quickly and put me in the station. I'm scared to be with them; I might lose my life any day now!"

Seeing the change in the way the police looked at them, Xu Chenxing became furious and embarrassed, trembling with anger, and pointed at Xu Jianren.

"You...you unfilial son, I'll beat you to death."

After Xu Chenxing finished speaking, he casually picked up a plate of food from the table and threw it at Xu Jianren.

Xu Jianren neither dodged nor avoided.

"boom"

With a muffled thud, the saucer struck Xu Jianren squarely on the forehead.

"Ah, I'm bleeding!" Zhao Chen cried out in fright.

"Dad..." Xu Shan cried out in a panic.

Xu Chenxing was also stunned. He didn't expect Xu Jianren to not dodge and just stand there letting him smash him.

The police officer shouted at the same time, "What are you doing? Why are you hitting people!"

Xu Jianren felt a sharp pain in his forehead, followed by a warm current flowing down his face.

A splash of bright red blood instantly blurred his vision. He raised his hand and wiped it, his hand covered in crimson.

He slowly rose to his feet, his expression serene.

Xu Shan felt that her brother, who was neither angry nor crying, looked even scarier at this moment, so she tightly hugged Zhu Xing and took a step back.

Xu Jianren stretched out his blood-stained hand towards the police.

"Officer, I overturned their table, and they smashed my head in return. Can we be even now?"

"If you can settle the score, you can still sue him for assault!"

A young policeman said angrily, "They dare to hurt people right in front of us. They really don't seem like biological father and son."

"That's settled then, I'll be going now." Xu Jianren turned and left blankly, without looking back once more.

"Don't forget to bandage your wound, or you might get tetanus."

The young policeman kindly called out to him.

Xu Jianren didn't reply, and slowly walked out of everyone's sight.

"Don't just stand there, quickly compensate the store for its losses, pack up and leave. I've only ever heard of male chauvinism before, but I never expected to encounter female chauvinism. Today has truly broadened my horizons."

After the young policeman finished speaking, he stood aside, waiting for these people to pay their compensation so he could leave.

In the end, Xu Chenxing paid the bill and compensated Hedilao for their losses, which were just some bowls and plates, and not much money.

At this point, the birthday party couldn't continue, and everyone left in a bad mood.

Xu Jianren, his head covered in blood, had just stepped out of the Hedi Lao restaurant when a waiter caught up with him. This waiter had witnessed the whole thing in the private room. He handed Xu a towel and pointed to his forehead.

"Brother, you should cover yourself up. It's not good to go out like this."

Xu Jianren wanted to go crazy, not to commit suicide. He took the towel and pressed it against his wound.

"Thanks!"

The hospital was right behind the street. After the disinfection and stitching were done, he drove around the streets alone.

He suddenly realized that he had nowhere to go.

What about Wang Chengyu? Forget about it. If he dared to go now, she'd probably kick him out with a knife.

What about Sun Jing? I don't want to see her getting jealous and crying all the time.

Forget it, let's find a hotel to stay in!

Xu Jianren randomly picked a hotel, lay down on the large white bed, and his thoughts continued to wander.

Going crazy feels so good...

He was confused just now, but he's much more clear-headed now.

As the saying goes, a tiger father begets no dog son. As Xu Chenxing's son, he is not unintelligent; he is just good at playing dumb. Playing dumb allows him to resolve many issues without taking the lead.

Xu Jianren always knew that his parents favored their daughter, and if he had a daughter, he would definitely cherish her like a precious jewel.

Thinking this way, he realized that his parents' love for his sisters wasn't so bad after all.

Xu Jianren kept reflecting on his life over the past thirty years.

He was extremely loved by his parents when he was young, and they took care of everything for him, letting him do whatever he wanted.

When he graduated from university and couldn't do anything right, his parents gradually started to look down on him.

They complained that he was incompetent, a failure, cowardly, didn't discipline Wang Chengyu, and that he was tactless, socially inept, and had a bad temper...

Sometimes he felt that his parents were so contradictory. They were the ones who raised him to be the way he is now, and he grew up as they wished, but they didn't like him anymore. All his former strengths had turned into weaknesses.

Even though they didn't like him, they still helped him get married and have children, and bought him a house and a car.

Xu Jianren was also caught in a dilemma, feeling that his parents still loved him on one hand, but on the other hand, he felt that his parents didn't like him at all.

His father was very good at brainwashing him, including Wang Chengyu, Xu Wen, and Xu Yao; all four of them were brainwashed by his father.

He was once content with the status quo and obeyed his father's every command. He also accepted the differential treatment from his parents without question.

Just like his father said, he is a boy, a son, and they are a family. His older sister and younger sister are married and have a hard time being someone else's daughter-in-law. When they return to their parents' home, they should be treated like princesses.

He didn't know how much money his parents had spent on Xu Qian. He was in school when Xu Qian got married and didn't pay much attention to such things.

There must have been quite a few, because her father mentioned that he had found someone to get Xu Qian a job at a bank, but Xu Qian neglected her work, skipped work to date, and eventually got fired by the bank.

What he knew was that Xu Shan's father paid almost the entire price for the house when she got married, while her brother-in-law's family only contributed 50,000 yuan. Her father also paid for the renovations.

In addition, her father also gave her 200,000 yuan in cash, which was used to buy the car Xu Shan is driving now.

Xu Shan's daughter was born prematurely and stayed in an incubator for a month. Her father paid for all the expenses, including the injections and rehabilitation afterwards.

When Xu Qian and Xu Shan's children were born, their parents gave each child a gift of 10,000 yuan.

The parents each received 6,000 yuan for the birth of their two children, and the father also took all the gift money. He said he would need to repay the favors in the future.

He had asked his parents about these things, but they always brushed him off with the same answer.

“We are a family. The meat will rot in the pot. What I earn will all be yours in the future.”

He always believed that they were a family, and that even if his parents favored their daughter, they still cared about him.

There's one more thing he didn't tell anyone.

In the autumn, Xu Qian and Xu Shan each took over a store in the clothing market near their community. The transfer fee, renovation, and inventory cost about 200,000 yuan for each store.

Xu Shan's explanation at the time was that her husband had just changed jobs and earned a lot of money.

Xu Qian's explanation was supported by her parents-in-law.

He actually believed it at the time; he knew that Xu Qian's in-laws were among the first batch of people to receive compensation for their land expropriation and that they had money.

He was puzzled as to what kind of job Xu Shan's husband had found that made so much money.

Xu Jianren was so naive at the time that he asked Xu Shan what job her husband had changed to, and how he could earn so much money.

Xu Shan gave a few vague replies and changed the subject. He didn't press the matter further after that.
