It turned out that they had unknowingly arrived at the machine tool factory where Qin Dashu worked. The noisy person was Old Lady Li, who was bringing her daughter and son to the factory to make a scene.

Qin Huai didn't step forward at first, but after listening for a while he realized that the cause was the marriage of Li Lan's younger brother Li Laizi.

Granddaughter Qin Xiaomi was not sold because of Qin Huai's obstruction, and Li Laizi's marriage was uncertain. Old Mrs. Li kept nagging Li Lan in her ear all day long.

Later, they really came up with an idea. The old lady encouraged Li Lan to come to the factory to borrow money, 200 yuan, and then slowly deduct it from her monthly salary.

When Li Lan heard this, she actually thought the idea was feasible. Old Mrs. Li was worried that her daughter would not be able to do her job well, so she brought her son to cheer her up. The whole family came to the factory and asked for a one-year salary advance.

Somehow, Li Lan's cleverness disappeared in front of my mother. She just did whatever the old lady said and never thought about how her family would live in the future if she really lent her the money.

Old Mrs. Li was indeed quite resourceful. She told her daughter that when she got to the factory, she should not say that she was borrowing money to help her younger brother get married, as the factory would definitely not agree. Instead, she should say that Qin Dashu's father was sick and dying, lying in bed, and was waiting for the 200 yuan to save his life.

Qin Dashu's salary was only 27.5 yuan. The factory felt that everyone was having a hard time, so they lent him money today. If anyone came to borrow money in the future, it would be a mess. They said they could use five yuan to treat the old man's illness as a favor, but there was no way they could give more than that.

So Li Lan and Old Lady Li started throwing a tantrum in the factory office. The factory leaders had no choice but to separate them and do some ideological work on them. No one who works in political work is vague.

As they were talking, they came to the point that Qin Dashu's salary was 27.5 yuan and it increased by 5 yuan last month.

When Li Lanniang and the others heard the salary amount, they immediately forgot what they came here for and were immediately furious. What did the honest Qin Dashu want to do? How dare he turn against the world?

In front of the factory leaders, Li Lan grabbed Qin Dashu and slapped him several times, forcing him to tell her where the five dollars had gone.

The factory leader felt that the woman hit him, and the pain was so intense that he said, "Qin Dashu, go back home and sort out your family's problems. Don't disrupt the factory's production order."

Qin Dashu seized the opportunity and ran, but when he reached the factory gate, he was caught up by Li Laizi who was running very fast.

Li Lan grabbed Qin Dashu's collar and slapped him like crazy, crying and cursing.

"Who did you give the money to? You black-hearted bastard..."

Old Lady Li fanned the flames, saying, "My daughter is so unlucky to be with you, and you're still using your money to fill the void with other women."

Qin Dashu was extremely embarrassed and could only protect his face. No matter how Li Lan and her daughter pressed him, he refused to speak.

Everyone in the factory was talking about it.

Qin Dashu's face was visibly swollen. In the end, he simply stopped resisting and let Li Lan kick and beat him madly.

Old Lady Li was still dissatisfied and said, "Don't play dead. If you don't come clean today, this matter will not be resolved."

Qin Huai looked at what happened to his adoptive father and wanted to turn around and leave, but his mind couldn't help but recall the scene of him getting the money and sending it home late that night.

Although that was the only warmth he showed as a father.

He saw clearly that after Li Lanniang and the other two made such a fuss today, no one came out to speak for Qin Dashu. No matter how much he could tolerate it, he would not be able to stay in the factory in the future.

Thinking of this, he immediately walked over to Li Lan, grabbed her hand and threw it aside. Suddenly, he felt a gust of wind behind his head, and then he heard Qin Dashu's terrified cry: "Qin Huai."

Qin Huai immediately took two steps forward. Li Laizi's fist missed. In anger, he kicked Li Laizi over. Old Lady Li screamed, "You cripple! You dare to hit my son? I'll fight you."

She cursed loudly and scratched Qin Huai's neck with her sharp claws. Qin Huai ignored her and kept kicking Li Laizi.

Double the damage done to the old lady and return it to Li Laizi.

Li Laizi could only shout loudly: "Mom, save me quickly, the lame guy wants to beat me to death." The fighting skill was a skill Qin Huai had practiced when he was young in his previous life. As long as you are ruthless, you can beat the other party until they are afraid of you.

Li Lan also reacted and said, "You beast, how dare you hit your uncle and grandma."

He cursed and rushed over to fight him again. Qin Huai immediately kicked Li Laizi a few more times and said, "You are right. If you come again, I will kick him to death."

Li Laizi groaned as he was kicked, and Qin Huai kicked him even harder if he dared to move.

Li Lan didn't dare to move anymore. The only sounds at the scene were Li Laizi's screams and Old Lady Li's curses.

Finally, the situation was under control. Li Lan and Old Lady Li could only curse from a distance. Qin Huai said loudly, "You may not know what happened. Let me explain."

"I'm Qin Dashu's adopted son. My father has three other children and an elderly father in the countryside. He took the five yuan home to support my grandfather in his old age."

There was a lack of entertainment these days, and people loved to gossip about other people's lives. They would curiously say, "So that's how it is. There's no need to make a fuss about it for the elderly."

Li Lan said angrily, "What do you know? If we give the money to his father, what will we do?"

The workers said, "He has three children and an elderly person at home. Five dollars isn't a lot. Judging from the young man's appearance, he probably doesn't have a good life in the countryside."

The implication is that Li Lan has gone too far.

Qin Huai's attire was indeed not very good. There were several large holes all over his body, the air leaking out, the cotton inside his jacket was exposed, and in the middle of winter he was still wearing a pair of worn straw sandals. He looked really shabby. This kind of attire would be common in the countryside, but in the city it looked very pitiful.

"Let me tell you another story. My parents haven't brought a penny home in the five years since they moved to the city. When they first came, my youngest sister was left at home at just six years old. We were able to survive thanks to the help of my grandfather and the entire village."

Although everyone in this era has their own miseries, it is rare to find one as miserable as the Qin Huai family.

Qin Huai said, "My father probably had no choice but to give up because of the low salary. We didn't blame him. But when his salary increased by five yuan this month, he immediately sent him back to the countryside without telling our family. We used to blame him all day long, but now it seems he has his own difficulties."

One worker immediately said, "Even if we didn't get a raise, 22.5 yuan is barely enough to support a family. It's really outrageous that you haven't taken care of your family for a few years after moving to the city. Aren't they your own father and your own children?"

The workers then understood what was going on and all accused Li Lan of being wrong.

Li Lan cursed loudly, "You damn cripple, you're talking nonsense. Don't say such nice things. Just return the money to me, or I'll never let you go."

Qin Huai fixed his eyes on her and asked, "You're not done yet, are you? Do you want me to tell you how you treated Xiaomi so that everyone can judge for themselves?"
