When An Zhensheng thought about the fact that he could only sleep in the dormitory every day, his heart ached again. He squatted on the ground and cried.
I didn't expect that the shantytown house would cause me so much trouble. The house was so dilapidated that it was impossible to live in and it couldn't be sold. I acted like a good person, but ended up ruining my marriage.
Seeing him so desperate, Shen Ze kicked him to the ground and said in a cold tone:
"An Zhensheng, if you still have this negative attitude, I suggest you go home and rest for a while before coming back to work. If a woman doesn't cherish you, then divorce her. What you should do most now is to cheer yourself up and let those who look down on you see how good you are."
After hearing this, An Zhensheng wiped away his tears silently and stood up suddenly: "Chen Chang, you are right. I need to cheer up. Xue Min looks down on me, but I cannot look down on myself."
When Chen Ze said that if he cooperated with him to complete the project, he would get a bonus, he worked even harder, transforming all the grief and anger caused by the divorce into diligence at work.
It's worth mentioning that the divorce also had one benefit for him: he could finally control his salary. A technician's salary was 35 yuan a month, and he used to only have one or two yuan for pocket money, with the rest going to Xue Min. Now, after deducting the 15 yuan child support Xue Min demanded, he still had 20 yuan left, a huge sum.
Just when each family was going through all kinds of drama over the welfare housing distribution issue, the house was finally completed and was just waiting for acceptance and delivery.
At the completion ceremony, Li Weimin, as the head of the chemical plant, delivered a speech.
Before he could finish his words, several burly men rushed onto the stage and started punching and kicking him.
If the people in the audience had not stepped up to stop it in time, Li Weimin would have been beaten to death.
After beating someone up, several people ran away and the police didn't catch them. However, Li Weimin stayed in the hospital for a long time.
His head and legs were injured, and the nurse wrapped him in white cloth, making him look like a mummy.
Sister Zhao from the Party and Mass Department took the initiative to take care of Li Weimin and went to the hospital every day. When Xue Min saw this, she was very unhappy and came to the hospital more frequently.
That day, Sister Zhao seized the opportunity to complain to Li Weimin, saying that although her family had a house, it was allocated by her husband's work unit, and it was shabby and small, and would definitely not be enough for them in the future. Could he help her get a housing quota?
When Li Weimin heard this, he felt unhappy. It seemed that they were serving him so attentively just to get a share of the house!
Just when he didn't know how to answer, Xue Min came in with a basket of fruit and said sarcastically, "Secretary, I think I should take care of you from now on, so that people with ulterior motives won't disturb your rest!"
Sister Zhao had disliked Xue Min for a long time, and in order to get a separate house, she even planned to divorce her.
"Director Xue, let's be frank. If the secretary hadn't loosened up on your conditions, you might not have been able to get the quota. You are all weasels. Stop flattering yourself!" Sister Zhao was not afraid of Xue Min at all.
Her eyes are so sharp. I saw Xue Min coming out of Li Weimin's office several times at noon with her hair messy.
It just so happens that both of them are here. If they really make her angry, she will speak frankly.
Xue Min saw Sister Zhao, a small employee, being so rude to her, and her face fell. Then she sneered:
"Sister Zhao, aren't you always cheerful and carefree? Why are you thinking about buying a house today? Doesn't your husband have a good job? Is he using his money to support his mistress?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Sister Zhao was so angry that she jumped up and slapped Xue Min. "Don't think that just because you did something dirty, everyone else is the same as you!"
Xue Min was beaten and naturally she was furious. The two of them started fighting without saying a word. While fighting, they threw dirty water on each other. The onlookers were all pointing and talking with expressions of enjoying the show. Li Weimin had already buried his head in the sheets.
Finally, the two stopped fighting after Su Bin used force to stop them. Both of them had messy hair and disheveled clothes.
How could Wang Shengli miss such a great opportunity? He took advantage of the completion ceremony to cause trouble and the fight with the two shrews to write a report on these two incidents and submitted it to the main factory.
After careful consideration, the main plant decided to use the chemical plant's welfare housing as a pilot project, selling it at cost price of 158 yuan. Priority will be given to chemical plant employees, who will also be offered a discount of 28 yuan per square meter. Units will be selected on a first-come, first-served basis, with payment and a numbered number.
As soon as the news came out, the whole factory was in an uproar, some were happy and some were worried.
Those who originally met the requirements now have to pay, so they are naturally depressed. Those who did not meet the requirements are inevitably happy now that they have the opportunity. However, these several thousand dollars are not a small amount!
The first batch of houses totaled more than 400 units, most of which were one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, ranging from 40 square meters to 80 square meters. Even the smallest one cost more than 5,000 yuan!
Sister Zhao had the opportunity to buy a house, but she was worried about money.
She knew that Jian Xiaoxing opened a video hall, so she called her every now and then to ask her if she wanted to buy a house. After knowing that she didn't, she asked her to borrow money.
Jian Xiaoxing was also panicked. Why did Sister Zhao seem like a different person when it came to buying a house?
"Sister Zhao, I have given all my money to my uncle, and I don't have any money on hand." Jian Xiaoxing had to lie to her.
Although they had a pretty good relationship, she found it hard to accept the fact that he asked her to borrow a thousand dollars right away.
Unexpectedly, Sister Zhao started crying despite the fact that there were people in the office.
From her crying, Jian Xiaoxing learned that Sister Zhao's husband did hold an important position and earned a lot of money. Unfortunately, he disliked Sister Zhao for using all the money to subsidize her younger brother, so he did not give her a penny of salary.
He would contribute a little towards living expenses and his daughter's tuition, but he never bought Sister Zhao any gifts. He had a beautiful subordinate who he would often buy her jewelry and clothes, but he also often went out drinking, so there wasn't much money left.
Of course, Zhao Jie knew about the existence of her beautiful subordinate, but what could she do? Crying and making a fuss would only push her husband further away. She would not even have any living expenses or tuition, let alone money to support her brother.
Even so, her mother often scolded her for not missing home.
Only then did Jian Xiaoxing realize that Sister Zhao, who was usually cheerful, actually had a messy life.
But the more this happens, the less likely it is to lend the money, as she might end up using it to subsidize her younger brother.
Jian Xiaoxing returned to his uncle's house and found that things were not going smoothly at home because of the house purchase.
During the Chinese New Year, a typhoon suddenly hit. Wang Xiaoqin was worried about Jian Xia who was alone at home but had no phone to contact her, so she came up with the idea of installing a telephone.
The initial installation fee for a telephone was not cheap, costing 1,500 yuan. She decided to ask her children to each contribute a few hundred yuan to pool the money.
