Chapter 162 Do You Hear Me?

Zhao Sheng pursed his lips and didn't respond. His slightly veined left hand pulled Lin Yiyi's soft right hand and played with it, knowing that his mother hadn't gotten to the point yet.

Otherwise, how could I come to the city to see him?

I thought about it for a while, and then I seemed to know the answer.

A light chuckle.

It's almost June.

"Your father is also thinking about you, but unfortunately you can't leave your family without someone, and there is a lot of work to do, otherwise he would definitely come to the county town."

Mother Zhao then sighed, a little embarrassed, and lowered her voice, "Son, your father's birthday is coming up in a few days. When people get old, they like to have a lively time, so I want to set up a few tables of banquets at home.

By then, your legs won't be able to help you go back.

I'm going to make this trip today, so you don't have to torment yourself anymore. I'll bring back the gift for your father. How much money do you plan to give to your father for his birthday?"

The man raised his eyebrows slightly, and it was just as he thought.

No visit without reason.

Zhao Sheng was worried that Lin Yiyi would be tired from standing, so he took the woman's hand and said seriously, "Go lie down in the inner room first. You can't stand standing for too long."

Lin Yiyi, the obedient young wife who was afraid of her husband, nodded: "..." and did as she was told.

Lin Yiyi ignored the shocked and surprised looks from her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

I walked into the inner room and sat at the end of the bed, leaning against the screen and listening attentively to the conversation outside.

Zhao Sheng watched Lin Yiyi go in to rest obediently, then he regained his composure and said coldly, "My hands and legs are broken, and I need to recuperate for a few months.

The factory only reimburses medical expenses. I don’t have a job and no salary. I can only give out five dollars for my father’s birthday.”

Zhao's mother Wang Caihong said anxiously: "Five dollars? How can five dollars be enough? Second brother, you are not Meng Niang, right?

How can you not pay your salary because of something that happened at the factory? Have you been sending money home for retirement these past few months?"

The man looked calm, as if he was awakened by Wang Caihong's words, and thought seriously, "Mom, you reminded me that I will probably have to pay you the pension money two months later.

You know that Yi Yi is unemployed, and I can't run freight to get paid for the time being. I'm short of money, and there's really nothing I can do."

She came here just to talk about this matter. She didn't get much money and felt aggrieved.

Wang Caihong never expected that the factory would not pay her salary while she was recovering from her injury.

The plan to ask Zhao Sheng to pay ten or twenty yuan was no longer possible.

The plan failed.

After thinking about it, Zhao's mother gave in a little, and said firmly, "No! The pension money must be given monthly, and the money for your father's birthday is five dollars. Mother understands that it is not easy for you.

It's almost noon now. I'll have lunch at your place, and I have to go back with your sister in the afternoon. Remember to pay for the train ticket."

Lin Yiyi wanted to laugh when she heard this in the inner room.

What kind of consideration is this?

The round-trip ticket for two people is 1.6 yuan.

Pork costs 70 or 80 cents a pound, so five dollars is definitely enough to prepare two tables of delicious meat dishes.

Besides, don’t we still have Zhao Da as our son?

Lin Yiyi could only complain in her heart, the real decision was up to Zhao Sheng himself.

Zhao Sheng picked up the crutch by the wall and walked slowly into the inner room. Then he took out the wallet under the pillow and took out two three-liang flour tickets and one dollar.

Then he walked to the outer room, handed the money to Zhao Lili, and said seriously, "Buy some vegetable dumplings and coarse grain steamed buns, plus two green vegetables. The soup in the cafeteria is free. You can add more. If the amount is small, you can eat less."

"Brother, why did you ask me to go get food? I don't want to move. My feet hurt after walking all the way. Let Lin Yiyi go get food."

Zhao Lili was unhappy and expressed her dissatisfaction directly.

It’s bad enough that the lunch was bad, but they also asked her to go to the cafeteria to buy food. Why didn’t they let Lin Yiyi run errands?

Her brother doesn't feel sorry for her at all now.

Zhao Sheng frowned, his face was impatient, and his tone became heavier, "She is your sister-in-law, and you just called her casually, without any respect for her.

You know the way to the cafeteria, so if it's not you who will go? Let mom go? You're tall, so it's convenient. Stop talking nonsense and go now. There will be too many people if you're late."

His wife is not available right now, so it’s better to wait until the news is stable before telling anyone about her pregnancy.

Zhao Lili becomes more and more annoying as she gets older.

When I was a child, I thought she had a straightforward personality.

Now I feel like she's talking like she's missing a bone in her brain.

There were many people in the cafeteria during lunch, several thousand of them. How could Lin Yiyi, who was weak, possibly squeeze past those strong people who were trying to grab food?

Unless he is not at home, he is the one who goes to get food, and he has already greeted the canteen chef.

His wife went to the canteen late in the morning, so he helped to save a separate portion of buns and porridge for her.

The canteen breakfast time is from 6:30 to 8:30.

Otherwise, given that Lin Yiyi didn’t go to the cafeteria until eight o’clock, the meat buns would have been gone long ago.

Zhao's mother felt sorry for her daughter and wanted to help.

But thinking about other things, and not getting the money yet, he could only advise: "Lili, go quickly and listen to your brother."

Lin Yiyi has been married to the Zhao family for nearly half a year, but there is still no sign of pregnancy. Instead, she lives a more frugal life than anyone else. Now, when buying food, the second son is reluctant to let his precious baby go.

This slut is spoiled to no limit.

Mother Zhao secretly spat in her heart.

Since her mother had spoken, Zhao Lili had no choice but to obey and take the money.

He picked up a few lunch boxes from the cupboard, put them in a net bag, and walked out reluctantly.

Wang Caihong glanced behind the partition, not caring whether the second son's wife would be unhappy if she heard it, and spoke her mind directly to Zhao Sheng.

"Son, your brother and sister will graduate from high school next month. Find a way to find a job for your brother in the city. You are brothers, so you should lend a hand.

And your younger sister is already 18 years old. If you have any unmarried colleagues or friends, please keep an eye out for your sister.

The other person's appearance is not a big deal, the main thing is that he or she should be a city resident who eats commercial grain, and if there are few brothers or sisters in the family, it would be best if they can live separately."

Zhao Sheng's expression did not change after hearing what his mother said. He seemed to have just reacted when he met her inquiring gaze, and said coldly: "I can help keep an eye on the work, but it will take time, and I'm not sure how long it will take.

As for my younger sister's dating, I really have no idea. Didn't my mother help me find a partner for my marriage? The people I know are all married with families, and there are no singles. It's not good to tell my younger sister about a second marriage, right? "

Listen to the last sentence.

Wang Caihong's face suddenly turned ugly. It seemed that after saying so many words, she didn't mean to agree.

Wang Caihong was so angry that she slammed the table and yelled, "How can you be such a brother? You won't help me after all, right? You told your sister to get married again?

If you don't agree, don't be so mean. I'll just pretend I never gave birth to a thing like you. Give me the money and I'll leave now."

She knew that the second brother was a cold-hearted person.

As the saying goes, you can tell a person's future from the age of three. He has been like this since he was young.

When it comes to the critical moment, you can't rely on him at all.

Anyway, this child has been raised in vain. He is such a heartless person that even his own brothers and sisters can just watch and do nothing to help.

Zhao Sheng was used to it. He sat there without moving, without even blinking, pretending he didn't hear anything.

After Zhao Lili brought the lunch box back, he gave her some money and sent her away, and everything was quiet.

Otherwise, if he gave it to him now, he would still lose four lunch boxes.

Lin Yiyi in the inner room was stunned.

This was the first time she heard a man talking to his mother. It turned out that Zhao Sheng could be so disrespectful to anyone when talking about something he didn't like.

Anyway, it's just procrastination, uncertainty, and nothing.

Once again, I must ask Zhao Sheng for help or I must coax him gently.

Men just love it when you act like a spoiled brat.

It's a pity that Zhao's mother was not polite at all. She offended people by asking for money before, and there would be no hope if she brought up these things again now.

The mother doesn't care about her son's food and livelihood after not having received salary for several months.

If he insists on asking for money, the son will definitely not have the heart to show filial piety.

You have to do favors when asking outsiders for help. It's not nice to ask people to work for you when you have nothing to offer.

Bring an old hen and some vegetables, eggs and dried goods, and put in half the care and effort you put into Zhao Xing and Zhao Cong, and cook a meal for Zhao Sheng. One of the two things that Zhao's mother asked for can definitely be accomplished.

If he was willing to spend a little more and bring the old Codonopsis pilosula stored in the cellar at home, Zhao Sheng would definitely agree.

oops.

I wonder if my mother-in-law noticed that one was missing.
