Chapter 307: People’s Hearts Are Fickle

Lu Qiaoge hurried forward to support Wei Xia and asked, "Are you feeling unwell? How about we take you to the hospital?"

Wei Xia's face was ashen, her eyes were lifeless, and she murmured in a low voice: "No, I won't go."

Sister Qiao asked patiently, "Why don't you go? Don't worry, our street office has hardship subsidies, and the treatment costs will be reduced."

Wei Xia glanced at Lu Qiaoge and Sister Qiao.

They are cadres from the street office.

These two people were present the last time I was tricked into getting a divorce.

Wei Xia lowered her head and said in a hoarse voice, "I won't go. He's hoping I'll die, so I'll die in front of him. If I die, I wonder if he dares to ignore these four children."

Secretary Liu said in a serious tone, "What's going on? Tell us in detail."

Aunt Han on the other side said anxiously: "The street cadres are here, tell us what you think."

Wei Xia still remained silent.

At the beginning, Lu Qiaoge discovered that Wei Xia’s personality was actually the same as that of many women nowadays.

She regards her husband as her God and has no opinions of her own. After getting married, she holds the idea of being faithful to her husband and living together until old age.

But then again, is there anything wrong with thinking this way?

Who doesn’t get married with the intention of spending their whole life together?

But human hearts are fickle.

Not to mention that if a woman has feelings for a man and becomes obsessed with love, she would really give up her life.

I even feel that if I die, the other person will be sad and in pain.

But little did you know that if you died, he might be relieved and even happily drink a glass of wine to celebrate.

At the same time, no matter what the woman's mentality is, if she dares not or does not want to cause trouble for the man, she will generally take her anger out on her children.

I even feel that it is because the children are not liked by their husband, otherwise how could he be so cruel to ignore them?

Although Lu Qiaoge felt that Wei Xia was too cowardly, Aunt Han had already found Director Hu, so the matter had to be resolved.

She and Sister Qiao looked at each other. When dealing with someone like Wei Xia, they could only be gentle first and then tough.

In this gentle part, Sister Qiao comes. She is good at having heart-to-heart talks and likes to influence others with sweet words.

Sister Qiao took Wei Xia's hand and went into the house, followed by Aunt Han and Lu Qiaoge.

Secretary Liu did not go in. After all, there are differences between men and women, so it is not very convenient.

He followed mainly because he was worried that something might happen to the child.

Secretary Liu glanced at the yard and found there was no firewood for burning.

How do Wei Xia and her two daughters cook?

This area is a bungalow with a kang in the house and an earthen stove, so you need to make a fire to eat.

Their street office is now conducting statistics on residents’ heating in winter.

The main heating materials are firewood, coal and honeycomb briquettes.

But now the place for burning firewood in Wei Xia's yard is empty.

I heard that there are not many people left in Wei Xia’s family. It seems that she is almost an orphan with her mother.

Secretary Liu still had a frown on his face. The three children had injuries on their hands and arms. Although they were not serious, it was still angry to see.

Secretary Liu walked around the yard angrily and asked the oldest girl, who looked only about six or seven years old, "Did you have breakfast this morning?"

The little girl had big eyes, like black grapes. She shook her head timidly when she heard that. The little boy next to her also hid behind his sister.

A lot of strangers came to the house, and the three children squatted against the wall, not daring to speak.

This is really annoying and sad.

Secretary Liu shouted to Sister Qiao in the room, "Old Qiao, the three children haven't eaten yet. I'm going to buy some buns."

Then he added, "I'll go to the wood station and get some wood and coal."

Wei Xia was about to speak when Sister Qiao said softly, "Old Liu knows someone at the firewood station. Ask him to get some firewood for your family. It's getting cold in October. We are doing statistics. We will consider including your family in the list of needy households."

Wei Xia just lowered her head and said nothing.

Sister Qiao continued gently, "I know you just said it in anger, how could you think that? If your four children lost their mother, do you know how they would live? Otherwise, people in ancient times wouldn't have said that they would rather live with a beggar mother than a government official father?"

Wei Xia's voice was hoarse, and she seemed to be talking to herself: "I didn't expect that he was so cruel. We have four children. After such a long time, how could he not have feelings?

But he said he doesn’t want us anymore, he lied to me, how could he lie to me, he is not a human being... How can I live now?

A few days ago, all four of my children caught a cold, so I took a week off. When I returned to work, my boss told me that I was fired because I had taken leave without a valid reason.

Aunt Han didn't know about this yet. She looked at Wei Xia in shock and said, "What? The shoe factory fired you? You're a regular worker. You didn't do anything wrong. You just asked for a week off to take care of your child. No matter where you go, you're right. What right did they fire you? Who is your leader? I'll go find him!"

Sister Qiao and Lu Qiaoge also looked at each other, thinking something was wrong.

Even if Wei Xia did not take leave, it is understandable since all four children in the family were sick.

After all, a woman without a husband and with four children is something that even her employer has to consider, not to mention that she is a formal worker in the shoe factory.

Wei Xia suddenly raised her head and said, "I went to look for him. I clearly asked for leave from our workshop director, but he said I didn't have any. He also said that I didn't behave well. Later I found out that the workshop director and Du Wanqing were relatives."

Du Wanqing, this name seems familiar. Oh, I remember now. Is she the white moonlight mentioned by Jiang Chusheng?

Jiang Chusheng divorced Wei Xia because of this woman.

Sister Qiao: "Didn't you find your factory manager to explain the real situation?"

Wei Xia shook her head and said in a low voice, "Our factory director has a bad temper and is a bit scary. I didn't dare to go to him, so I went to find Jiang Chusheng. My child got sick and I spent all my salary. I didn't have much savings. I... I really had no choice but to go to find Jiang Chusheng."

Lu Qiaoge found that Wei Xia was in a relatively good mood. At least she was not hysterical. Instead, she explained what had happened to them in a clear and organized manner.

Lu Qiaoge held her hand and thought to himself, even if you are blinded by lard now, my energy can clear your mind.

Lu Qiaoge's voice was very gentle and soft: "Sister Wei Xia, don't be anxious, speak slowly."

Although Lu Qiaoge's energy does not have much effect on humans, it is still energy.

Just like what is described in some novels: Their hands were clasped tightly together, as if they could draw half of their strength from each other's palms.

Strength is equivalent to energy, and this kind of contact can also be inspiring.

Wei Xia is indeed much better.

His expression was not so sinister, but he whispered: "I went to find Du Wanqing to ask her to talk to the workshop director. I did ask for leave and I didn't miss work without reason, but Du Wanqing...she...that bitch..."
