Chapter 039 Hidden Truth

When Huang Hongyun has vented enough, the house where Yan Xiaomai lives will be turned upside down by him.

Tian Xiang looked at everyone helplessly.

"Dear family members of the machinery factory, since everyone knows that Huang Hongyun is not a good person, you can't just stand by and do nothing when he comes next time! We are all enthusiastic and brave good citizens, we must know how to punish evil and eliminate evil, and we can't just watch orphans and widows being bullied! Don't you agree?"

What the young official said is right.

but……

An old man like Huang Hongyun will cause trouble to anyone who gets involved with him.

Moreover, a father-in-law and a daughter-in-law are also family affairs.

Everyone laughed and soon dispersed.

Tian Xiang helped Yan Xiaomai pick up the matchboxes on the ground that were still usable.

Yan Xiaomai felt embarrassed, "Xiaoxiang is doing the work, don't worry, your hands are dirty, I can do it."

Xiaoxiang is doing something?

Tian Xiang didn't stop, and laughed, "Don't be so polite, just call me Tian Xiang, or Secretary Tian."

When Xiaoxiang does things, it doesn't sound very impressive.

"OK."

Seeing that she insisted on helping, Yan Xiaomai let her do it.

The two were picking up things on the ground. Huang Qidong quietly poked his head out from behind the doorway, confirmed that Huang Hongyun was no longer there, and hurried out to help pick up the things.

The three of them put the usable matchboxes into a bamboo dustpan. Tian Xiang estimated that more than a hundred of them were damaged.

He only earned eight cents for pasting 100 matchboxes, but now he has directly lost more than 100 boxes. Because of Huang Hongyun's disturbance, Yan Xiaomai's week's work has been in vain.

Yan Xiaomai was grateful to Tian Xiang for her help before, and invited Tian Xiang to come in and sit down.

It was originally a polite remark, but Tian Xiang was not polite at all and went straight in.

Yesterday, Tian Xiang looked through the doorway at the living environment of the mother and son. It was small and cramped.

When I came in today, I saw that the place was tidy enough, except that there were too many matchboxes to be pasted, and Huang Hongyun had caused some chaos when he came over before, so the things inside were messed up and there was no place to put my feet.

Yan Xiaomai quickly packed up.

Tian Xiang also helped, and soon it finally looked like what it was.

Yan Xiaomai also wanted to make some brown sugar water for Tian Xiang, but Tian Xiang refused.

"Don't bother, I'll just sit for a while and leave."

Forget about the brown sugar I bought by pasting matchboxes.

Seeing that she really didn't want it, Yan Xiaomai brought a small stool over and sat over.

Huang Qidong stayed beside his mother, looking at Tian Xiang with his curious big eyes.

This sister is so beautiful.

Tian Xiang smiled and took out two glass candies and handed them to him.

"Here you go."

This was the one that Tian Xiang bought to coax the kids last time in order to find out news about Widow Jiang. She didn't finish sharing them, so there are only two left.

Huang Qidong hadn't eaten candy for a long time. He wanted some, but didn't dare to reach out to take it. He looked at his mother with a questioning look.

Yan Xiaomai smiled and said, "It was given to me by Secretary Tian. Take it."

Huang Qidong took it, immediately peeled off the candy wrapper and put one in his mouth.

Tian Xiang: "Your son looks a lot like you."

Those eyes looked like they were carved from the same mold.

Yan Xiaomai smiled with great satisfaction and said, "Everyone says so."

Tian Xiang: "It's just that the little kid is too thin, with thin arms and legs. He's five years old this year! He's still growing, and we can't let him suffer any loss."

Tian Xiang said this and put her lunch box on the table.

"It's a piece of tofu, it's nothing serious, use it to make a bowl of soup for the child."

Why is tofu not a problem?

You need a ticket!

Yan Xiaomai quickly waved her hands, "No, no, no, Secretary Tian, ​​you can take it back and eat it. I can't take this."

Yan Xiaomai is not very good at talking, but her attitude is very clear: she will not accept it.

In the past, the factory union came to visit and gave her gifts, but those were special funds from the factory.

It is obvious that Tian Xiang paid for this piece of tofu today out of her own pocket.

Tian Xiang glanced at the uneasy Yan Xiaomai and said with a smile, "Really? I went to the market to buy it! Don't be so polite to me. There's nothing wrong with me coming here today. I just want to know more about your situation."

Tian Xiang sighed, "Teacher Feng has already told me almost everything else. I understand your difficulties, and to be honest, I sympathize with you. Let's not talk about how everyone handled it in the past. Now that I'm here, your problem is my priority. I will do my best to help you and Du Zhiqiang solve this problem, so that you can live happily ever after."

Tian Xiang spoke so sincerely that Yan Xiaomai shed tears.

There had been no action from the union in the past two months, and she thought everyone had given up.

"Secretary Tian, ​​thank you in advance."

No matter what the situation was, she was very touched that the other person had this kind heart.

Tian Xiang: "The problem hasn't been solved yet, don't thank me so quickly.

Your matter requires efforts from many parties, including yourself. ”

Yan Xiaomai nodded seriously, "Secretary Tian, ​​if there is anything you need me to do, just tell me."

Tian Xiang: "Nothing special. It was just yesterday that I heard your story and thought about it for a long time. There is one thing I just can't figure out. Why is your father-in-law Huang Hongyun so insistent? He insisted on you marrying Huang Wenbiao. What does he want? This seems very strange to me."

Yan Xiaomai's expression froze and he closed the lunch box containing tofu again.

"He can't let go of his grandson Qidong."

Everyone said so, but Tian Xiang didn't believe it.

Tian Xiang lowered her eyes and thought about what Hu Honglian said to her last night.

"Didn't Mr. Huang's youngest son take his brother's place to work in the machinery factory? He's not disabled or stupid, and it's not like he can't find another one, so why would he marry his own sister-in-law?"

Tian Xiang shook her head. She didn’t know, but she also felt that this was problematic.

The reason Huang Hongyun gave to the outside world was that he did not allow his grandson to live outside, but the man Yan Xiaomai was going to marry was also from Hongwu Street, which was not far away, and his grandson was right under his nose and he could see him, so there was no reason for him to cling to him.

Hu Honglian: "It's not like his family is a single-line family. The youngest son can get married and have children. If he wants a grandchild, why not just have another one? Why do they have to torture each other? In my opinion, the Huang family's father and son are either mentally ill, stubborn and one-minded, or they have done something wrong and are afraid to let their eldest daughter-in-law marry out."

Don’t dare to let your daughter-in-law marry out?

Tian Xiang didn't quite understand what this sentence meant.

Hu Honglian gave her daughter a tofu ticket and said, "People who eat from others are soft-hearted, and people who take from others are soft-hearted. If you go there empty-handed, how can people pay attention to you? Send something. If they accept it, you can ask whatever you want. If they keep silent, they won't accept the things. Just take it back. Mom will stew it with cabbage for you to eat in the evening..."

So, Yan Xiaomai was unwilling to say it.

Don’t want to, or don’t dare?

Tian Xiang: "The knife you put under your pillow is to protect you from Huang Wenbiao, right? Has he ever come to harass you?"

Just now when I was helping to clean up, Tian Xiang saw it by accident.

Huang Wenbiao is a little gangster, so it's not surprising that he would do something like this.

Yan Xiaomai clenched her hands tightly, "Actually, Zhiqiang lives in the house next door, but he sometimes works the night shift..."
