Chapter 607 - 47: Cannon Fodder Daughter and Her Cannon Fodder Dad

"Besides knitting sweaters and scarves, I can knit many other things."

These days, ready-made clothes are expensive, so almost every household buys yarn to knit their own clothes. Especially in winter, when the weather is good, you see women sitting at every doorstep with yarn in their arms. The women gather to chat and knit, forming the original gossip group.

Thinking about how Lin Gao will join this group at the doorstep every day, Jiang Lai smiled, feeling that this scene should be quite amusing.

"Alright, once the house allocated to me is fixed up, you can move in."

Lin Gao was stunned for a good dozen seconds.

"Really?"

"Do I make jokes with you all the time? But the house is still very old now and hasn’t been tidied up."

For the first time, Lin Gao showed an enthusiastic passion, his dark eyes shining brightly, nervously and eagerly saying.

"I’ll tidy it up, you handle your stuff, I’ll tidy it up."

As soon as he said it, he did it. Early the next morning, Lin Gao brought a group of people to Jiang Lai’s unit house with great vigor.

"Come on, everyone, let’s tidy up the house quickly, and I’ll treat everyone to drinks tonight."

"Brother Gao, this is Ms. Jiang’s house, right? What’s up? Why are you helping out? Where’s Ms. Jiang?"

Lin Gao hid a smile at the corner of his mouth, his hands busy.

"Whether she’s here or not doesn’t matter, I’m here, so let’s tidy up quickly. Leave this space empty for putting my things."

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned.

The quicker ones started teasing him.

"Wow!! Brother Gao! Great things are close at hand!"

It was only then that everyone realized, one after another shouting along. After all, they were all young people, and Lin Gao was considered the first among them with a chance to marry.

"Brother Gao is amazing! When will you treat us to the wedding feast?"

"No wonder our Brother Gao is so attentive, soon this will be your home! Quick, hurry up guys, don’t dawdle, let’s get this done so Brother Gao won’t miss his wedding night!"

"Hahaha, I’m definitely going to stir things up well on the wedding night! Brother Gao is about to marry such a beautiful bride, must give us brothers a good chance to stir things up!"

Lin Gao stood by and silently laughed.

A warm feeling filled his entire heart; he hadn’t felt this for a long, long time.

The anticipation for life made him realize for the first time how wonderful it is to be alive.

Whatever he did, it was filled with vigor.

A few people spent the whole day tidying the house inside and out until it was clean, and then Lin Gao went to find carpenters to make furniture.

"Price is negotiable, but quality must be good, and the color must be attractive."

"Now it’s trendy to have a dressing table for the wife to use for makeup, young man, do you want one?"

Lin Gao didn’t hesitate.

"Yes, make it pretty, my future wife is petite, don’t make those cabinets and tables too tall."

The warmth and enthusiasm from Lin Gao made Jiang Lai feel somewhat overwhelmed.

When she realized something wasn’t quite right, the entire street and even the restaurant knew she and Lin Gao were about to get married.

Little Buding sneered.

"Do you think this is what era? Still want to do that cohabiting-not-marrying thing?

Better put away your little schemes and quickly explain things clearly to Lin Gao while you still can.

A rotten woman."

"Then let’s just get married."

Little Buding was dazed for a moment, thinking he hadn’t heard correctly.

"What did you say?"

"I said, since that’s the case, let’s just get married, it’s so boring these days, finding a companion is good.

Lin Gao is quite good, I really like him."

"You’re really getting married?"

For so long, when did Jiang Lai ever take the initiative to be responsible?

"Really, these days you can’t cohabit without marrying, so there’s no choice but to get married."

Little Buding realized Jiang Lai was serious.

"Wow, tsk tsk tsk, those few before definitely would feel terribly upset knowing you’re treating Lin Gao like this."

Jiang Lai smiled, a hint of deep thought flashing in her eyes.

Those few before...

"Ha..."

"Why are you laughing?"

"Laughing at your stupidity."

Little Buding was silent for a few seconds.

"I think it’s necessary to remind you, I’m now a veteran employee in our department, experienced, known as the gold medal senior.

It’s best not to look down on people."

"Hmm, it’s people looking down on dogs."

"Pah! I’m a dog, yet you’re worse than a dog."

"Rebound."

"..."

Little Buding took a deep breath.

"Aren’t you childish? Rebound plus one."

Back and forth they went, eventually Jiang Lai narrowly defeating Little Buding.

Whenever a task was near completion, Jiang Lai’s mood would be good.

Especially when she saw Zhang Hanzheng being investigated in the newspaper, publicly sentenced with a series of conclusive evidence, Jiang Lai’s mood improved even more.

Embezzlement of public funds, disregarding human lives, private use of hired help, cutting corners...

This series of charges directly nailed Zhang Hanzheng to the pillar of shame.

Several old leaders in the factory all participated in reporting, with significant effect.

Zhang Hanzheng was taken away that morning, and the crimes were more severe than expected.

The Zhang family’s small villa entrance was crowded with onlookers.

The once infinitely glorious family was now huddled at home in disgrace. They thought they could wait for the storm to pass and quietly escape.

But unexpectedly, in the afternoon, the authorities came for an inspection.

All private assets were confiscated, as most were gained through corruption.

The house was sealed, and the entire family had nowhere to go.

As the saying goes, when a wall falls, everyone pushes; those who had bad blood with the Zhang family but dared not speak up now wished they could step all over them.

The family became complete pariahs, pointed and discussed by the surrounding onlookers.

Jiang Lai happened to be on her way to work and saw this scene.

Most eye-catching was Shen Yaoyao, who cried and protested that she had no connection with the Zhang family.

But the one who initially spread news of marriage was she, now wanting to detach herself wasn’t that easy.

Another thing, Jiang Lai learned later.

Zhang Shuci fled during a rural visit and was caught a week later, in a smelly pigpen, where people found him hiding.

To escape, he lived and ate with pigs for seven days, so that no one wanted to touch him in the end.

The consequence was that Zhang Shuci was punished by being sent to an even colder place to raise pigs, with no family around.

The Zhang family’s drama finally came to an end.

Not long after, Jiang Lai married Lin Gao.

It was really just a ceremony, without even a marriage certificate, just hanging some festive decorations at home, wearing red outfits, and inviting relatives and friends for a meal.

In terms of societal status, the two were considered a couple.

Lin Gao drank quite a bit that day, smiling at everyone, and everyone said he was laughing himself silly.

In one day, he used up all the smiles he had for a lifetime.

On the wedding night, a few brothers were prepared to showcase their skills, but before they could make it to the bridal chamber, one after another, they fell drunk.
