Old Mr. Gu walked with his hands behind his back and head lowered, striding quickly as if he were sulking with someone. 

Gu Jiefang chased after him and pleaded, “Dad, let’s talk at home, okay? I will explain everything, please don’t be angry!” 

He had already informed the factory director to postpone Zhu Yuzhen’s medical retirement. 

The old man was clearly furious, so he had to let him blow off some steam first. 

Once he calmed down, things would smooth over. 

Besides, the old man wouldn’t lose his temper for no reason, his stupid wife must have done something to provoke him again.

No matter what the reason, there was no way she could proceed with medical retirement now. 

Just two more years and she’d qualify for the formal retirement benefits. 

The pension difference between medical retirement and formal retirement was at least half. 

Even bedridden workers would pay for temporary workers to take over the shift using their own pocket money, just to survive until the formal retirement. 

Only an idiot would voluntarily give up such a benefit.

(Note: Medical retirement pays less than formal retirement, as for the exact amount of the difference cannot be found)

Unfortunately, his old man was even more foolish than a fool. Gu Jiefang was both anxious and resentful towards the old man. 

With so many people in the courtyard, how many of them openly and secretly used their positions for personal gain, taking benefits for their own families. Why couldn’t his father do the same? 

If they didn’t use their power, then it would expire. 

Such a simple truth, but the old man didn’t seem to get it, as he was always preaching selflessness and public integrity.

He wouldn’t let anyone else do it either, watching them more closely than a weasel. 

Hmph! Always using his own family as a sacrifice. Why couldn’t he learn from someone like Old Mr. He? 

Even though Old Mr. He held a lower position than his father, he secured many benefits for his own family. 

Meanwhile, his own father remained clean handed but penniless, dragging his children to suffer along with him.

Old Mr. Gu kept walking without even glancing at his eldest son, he feared that if he looked, he might not be able to resist to take action and kill this rebelling son. 

“Dad, it’s Yuzhen’s fault, I will discipline her when I go back, please don’t get angry and ruin your body ah!” 

Gu Jiefang panted as he followed. 

After years in the office and lacking exercise, he couldn’t even keep up with his elderly father. 

“Dad, would you like to come home with me and take a break? Can we discuss the retirement matter later? Yuzhen will retire in two years, and she hasn’t been sick either. In the future, I will let her work diligently and never miss a day’s work, is that okay?” 

Suddenly, the old man stopped walking, and Gu Jiefang almost crashed into him. 

He had to brake abruptly, panting heavily, his face covered in sweat as he looked at his father with pleading eyes.

“Didn’t you just say your wife was in poor health? Now you’re saying she’s fine. Gu Jiefang, do you even know how to speak the truth?”

Old Mr. Gu looked at his son with bitter disappointment. 

His son’s mouth was full of lies, thinking only about securing benefits for his own small family rather than contributing to the country. 

He now completely saw through that his eldest son was just a fat and greedy parasite, gnawing at the foundations of socialism.   

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. 

Old Mr. Gu punched Gu Jiefang in the stomach, and Gu Jiefang’s face turned pale in pain, as he groaned while bending his waist. 

Damn, it felt like this old man just ruptured my intestines!  

“Look at you! That belly fat could even render thirty catty of lard. Gu Jiefang, how did you become such a worthless lump? How could I, Gu Huainian, have such a useless son like you?!” 

Old Mr. Gu raised his fist again. 

Gu Jiefang immediately covered his head, shouting in defiance, “Dad, there are tons of people like me at the factory! What’s the point of you being all selfless? Other fathers help their kids get good jobs, and all you do is push us to suffer! What’s the point?!”

Gu Jiefang felt genuinely wronged. There was no need to compare himself with outsiders, just take the He family for example, Old Mr. He never forced his eldest son to go to Team B and arranged for him to work in the factory.
