Chapter 229: Drive Out the Unscrupulous Father
We can also check out some routes, and then take the elderly, children, elderly people in nursing homes, and housekeepers to see Tiananmen Square and Beijing in batches and times. Maybe we can even open a travel company." Qian Yizhen said confidently.
"Yizhen, this is a good idea. After we open a travel company, we can travel around the country and let people from all over the country come to the Northern Province Ancient Taoist Temple, Huaguoshan Tourist Resort, and Lanyan Flying Tourist Resort for tourism and vacation. This will kill two birds with one stone." Professor Jiang Yuhan said happily.
Qian Yizhen returned to Chen's house and immediately rushed to the restaurant. Grandpa Lu Kaipu was boiling Chinese medicine in the kitchen. "Grandpa, you've worked hard. Just let the housekeeper do the boiling. You don't have to do it yourself at your age." Qian Yizhen said angrily.
“Yizhen, you don’t understand. Boiling Chinese medicine requires skills. The amount of water, heat, time, and which medicine to boil first and which to boil later all need to be strictly controlled. Otherwise, it will affect the efficacy.” Grandpa Lu Kaipu explained.
"Grandpa, I want to discuss something with you. Have you ever been to Beijing? Do you want me to take you and grandma to visit Beijing?"
"Yizhen, why do you suddenly want to travel to Beijing? I went to Beijing with my father when I was ten years old. It was during the war, and my father's business didn't go through. We didn't dare to go shopping, so we came back in a hurry. Now it's good, we can walk around Beijing freely, and I want to go." Grandma Chen Yalu said as she walked in.
"Well, the kids are about to have their summer vacation, and Yuan Daoqin invited us to visit Beijing. The wedding house that Chairman Wang Hengxiu bought for Wang Wei and Yuan Daoqin in Beijing will come in handy.
In a few days, after the children have their summer vacation, Professor Jiang Yuhan will lead Junhua, Gao Weizhe, Yongjun, Aijun, Qiangjun and Junyan to take the lead in summarizing the experiences and lessons learned from visiting Beijing, optimizing the tourist routes and living environment, and then take the old comrades there.
I heard from Yuan Daoqin that the house in Beijing, like our Chen Mansion, is a standard two-courtyard quadrangle. It is said that it was once the house of the imperial physician in the early years.
When fleeing during the war, he sold it to a Kuomintang officer for a few dollars. Later, after being passed around for countless times, it was finally bought by Chairman Wang Hengxiu.
Grandpa, if you go to Beijing and stay in that ancient courtyard house for a few days, you might find some treasures of traditional Chinese medicine in that house, such as clues about a traditional Chinese medicine family... Qian Yizhen said incessantly.
"Yizhen, as the saying goes: Don't let a seventy-year-old stay for a meal, don't let an eighty-year-old stay overnight, and don't let a ninety-year-old stay for a sit. Aren't you afraid that people like us who are over eighty years old will get into trouble when traveling long distances? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?" said Grandpa Lu Kaipu.
"Grandpa, your statement is outdated. Modern living conditions are better and transportation is more convenient. You two are in such good health, it would be a pity if you don't go out for a walk. There is a proverb that goes: A tree that is moved dies, but a person who moves lives. People should move more often."
As they were talking, Li Baoguo came to the restaurant holding his daughter Li Jingyao and Han Shiyan, talking and laughing. "Sister Yizhen, you are here, and my great aunt and uncle are here too. Can you help me make a decision?" Han Shiyan said.
Qian Yizhen clapped her hands at Li Jingyao and said, "Yueyue, let your aunt hug you." Yueyue opened her arms and happily threw herself into Qian Yizhen's arms.
"It's been more than half a month since the three of us came back from Hong Kong. Only Li Baoguo went home to visit his parents. Yueyue has never seen her grandparents since she was born. Should we take Yueyue to meet her grandparents?" Han Shiyan said.
"Shiyan, what do you think? According to common sense, Yueyue should be allowed to meet her grandparents and other blood relatives because of the closeness of the generations. Do you have any concerns?" said Grandma Chen Yalu.
Han Shiyan glanced at Li Baoguo and motioned him to tell her about his parents' situation.
Li Baoguo hesitated for a moment and then slowly said, "Since my parents moved into the apartment bought by my great uncle, they have lived a stable life without worries about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and my father's chronic illness has basically been cured.
But three months ago, her father's old lover was kicked out of the house by her son. She shamelessly moved into her father's bedroom and refused to leave.
My mother, sister, and brother-in-law have tried to drive her away many times, but my old lover just won’t leave because my father won’t let him. Isn’t that infuriating?”
After hearing this, Qian Yizhen stood up and said angrily, "Li Baoguo, are you and your brother just going to let your father and his lover do this?"
"Yizhen, don't be angry. You are still drinking the Chinese medicine. Otherwise, the Chinese medicine I boiled for you will be in vain and its efficacy will be zero." Grandpa Lu Kaipu said.
"Oh my, how did Baoguo end up with such a father? It's really not something a human being would do. If I were to be in such a situation, I would be so angry that I would die. Baoguo's mother is such a miserable woman.
Yizhen, call Ming Yuanhui and ask him to find a way to discipline Li Baoguo's father and get him out of the building our Chen family bought." Grandma Chen Yalu said indignantly.
Qian Yizhen called Ming Yuanhui and Qian Yiyun separately, asking them to come back to Chen's house for dinner tonight. One of them worked in the police and the other in the procuratorate, so Ming Yuanhui and Qian Yiyun must help Li Baoguo take up legal weapons to discipline his unscrupulous father.
Early the next morning, Li Baoguo called his sister and brought the drafted legal documents to his parents and old lover. Li Baoguo's sister said, "Dad, you should get this old woman out right away. Otherwise, my mother, my brother and I will go to court to sue you."
"You unfilial daughter, you are going to make me die of anger. I won't let her go. You want to hit someone, but you can't. Hitting someone is against the law. If you kill someone, you have to pay with your life. If you injure someone, you have to pay for the medical expenses." Father Li said speciously.
"Dad, if you continue like this, we won't spoil you anymore, listen carefully!
First, get this old woman who has drained all your property out of here. Second, if you insist on letting her stay, you should move out too. This is Han Shiyan's mother's house, and the Chen family has already ordered us to leave. Third, divorce my mother and move back to your old house in the Li family. You can do whatever you want, and it has nothing to do with us. Fourth, file for divorce to divide the common property of the couple.
You have used that old, dilapidated house passed down from our ancestors to blackmail my mother for so many years, and it is time to give her a fair explanation." Li Baoguo said firmly.
"You unfilial son, I raised you in vain, and you treat your own father like this!" Father Li roared.
"Dad, you keep saying you'll raise me, but I've seldom seen you since I was born. You've used all your money to raise other people's sons. You only thought of me, your biological son, when you were old, drained, sick, and kicked out. Ask yourself, are you worthy of being my father?"
Li Baoguo ignored his father's roar and took out the legal provisions he had copied and read them aloud:
According to Article 258 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, anyone who commits bigamy while already married, or who marries another person knowing that the other person already has a spouse, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than two years or criminal detention.
