Just as Mrs. Fang was about to start scolding, Fang Ziqiang got angry and said, "Mom, can you please shut up?"
He got angry, and Old Lady Fang retreated, but she kept talking: "I'm just standing up for you."
"I will handle my family's affairs myself."
Fang Ziqiang is more proud than them and cares about his work. If he doesn't handle things well tonight, he will probably have to pack up and leave tomorrow.
No matter how angry he was, he knew one thing: he couldn't offend Yun Huaying now.
After scolding his mother, he suppressed his anger deep in his heart, took a deep breath, and then spoke to Yun Huaying as calmly as possible: "I know there are only 400 yuan in cash, and there is also a stub with more money on it."
"That stub is not yours." Yun Huaying reminded him.
Fang Ziqiang choked. The stub was indeed not his, but Li Hongxia's. However, the money was their joint property. He said with a stern face, "It belongs to Xiaojun's mother. She saved it by living frugally. Give it back to her."
"Give me back my mother's money." Fang Jun rushed over immediately.
"Your mother tricked me into going to the countryside, doesn't she have to pay compensation?"
Yun Huaying glanced at him indifferently, and when she saw his brows furrow, she added, "Her behavior is illegal. Not only will she have to pay compensation, she'll also be punished. The old secretary has just ordered an investigation. Your mother's deception of me isn't difficult to investigate. I believe the brewery will handle it impartially. Your mother's work will end tomorrow."
Fang Jun usually took advantage of his parents being both working cadres to show off outside. Seeing that his mother's job was about to be lost, he was furious: "Dad, you have to clean up Yun Huaying quickly. You can't let Mom lose her job."
Yun Huaying was already accustomed to hearing his constant chatter, and she could see his fate and future from his nature. Fang Ziqiang smiled brightly, "Deputy Director Fang, you usually dote on your stepson Fang Jun. You two should continue to teach him well and attentively. I believe it won't be long before he becomes the leader of the county's second-rate hooligans. Maybe he'll even get free peanuts in the future."
Peanuts!
Fang Ziqiang's lips trembled, and his eyes instantly became stern, "Xiaojun, don't interrupt us when we are talking."
"But she took my mother's money."
Fang Jun is also a carefree person. He doesn't care about peanuts at all and only cares about money.
Yun Huaying admitted to taking the stub and politely asked, "Old Secretary, Public Security Zhou, in this case, how much do you think Li Hongxia should compensate me?"
"In fact, there was a similar case in neighboring Zhang County last year. It was announced in the newspaper at that time. Excluding other penalties, the compensation was 180 yuan." Public Security Zhou told her the number clearly.
With similar cases in hand, it was easier to discuss the matter. Yun Huaying pulled out the canceled stub from her pocket and told everyone generously, "There's 260 yuan on Li Hongxia's stub. I've already withdrawn all of it. Based on this compensation, there's still 80 yuan left."
"Give it to her!" Fang Jun immediately reached out to her.
Eighty yuan is not a lot of money, but it is enough for him to squander for half a year.
Yun Huaying threw the invalid stub to him.
"What I want is money." Fang Jun threw the stub away.
"You are the one who should pay."
Yun Huaying kindly reminded him, and seeing that he had completely forgotten about the rent, she calculated the bill again: "Your rent for more than five years is 670 yuan. Minus the current 80 yuan, you should still give me 590 yuan."
There was no way Fang Jun would pay her rent. He was just as unreasonable as the old woman. "I live in my father's house. He doesn't ask us to pay rent."
"Since your father didn't ask you to pay the rent, it means he will help you pay it."
Yun Huaying didn't want to ask them for money. The rich owner was Fang Ziqiang. Since he wanted to support these parasites, he would naturally have to bear the burden. She looked at him with a gloomy look and stretched out her hand to him: "Deputy Director Fang, give me the money."
"Boss, I can't give it to you."
Money is Mrs. Fang's life. She is reluctant to spend even six cents, let alone nearly six hundred.
She disagreed, but Yun Huaying didn't force her. "It's okay if you don't give it to me. I won't leave until the day after tomorrow anyway. See you at the Public Security Bureau tomorrow."
"See you then."
Old Lady Fang thought that she was leaving anyway, so if she postponed it until tomorrow, the matter would be over.
Yun Huaying saw through her wishful thinking and directly confronted her: "Public Security Zhou, please help me handle this matter tomorrow. I know time is urgent and there may not be a result tomorrow. I have to obey the national call to go to the countryside. Please recommend me a client who knows the law and has mature experience. I will entrust the dispute with them to the client."
In fact, it was obvious that she wanted to entrust a lawyer, but the current policy situation was special. The lawyer system was suspended and all the lawyers were sent to labor reform. She could only entrust a public official who could provide help in a similar way.
Seeing that she knew so much, Public Security Zhou gave her an admiring look and said, "Okay, I'll notify the professional client to come over tomorrow morning, and you two can meet at the Public Security Bureau to discuss it."
"Huaying, we are a family. There is no need to go to the police station."
Fang Ziqiang was anxious and panicked. If things really came to this, he would most likely lose his job. Even if he was not sent back to his hometown, he would become an unemployed vagrant in the county.
"When it comes to money, we are a family. When it comes to family affection, I am an outsider and they are your family."
Yun Huaying pointed at the brother and sister standing behind him and belittled them without hesitation, but she didn't back down. "Deputy Director Fang, I don't want to waste my time and energy arguing with you. I'm giving you one last chance. Either you pay me now, or I'll see you at the Public Security Bureau tomorrow. You have two choices. Make your decision now."
"These three are not Ziqiang's biological children. If you must pursue the rent, you can go ask their mother and father for it." Old Mrs. Fang was determined not to let her son suffer any loss.
Yun Huaying flung out their household registration booklet, slamming it into Old Lady Fang's face. "The four of them, mother and children, are now in the same household registration as your son. They were registered together five and a half years ago. Also, your good daughter-in-law, Li Hongxia, has severed all ties with her ex-husband. She told them at home at the time that he didn't need to bear any support obligations for her children. So, even if these three aren't your son's biological children, they are nominally his children. Since he's raising so many parasitic vampires, he has to take responsibility. He has to pay the rent even if he doesn't want to."
"Let Li Hongxia go out." Old Mrs. Fang pushed her son's arm.
Now, she also remembered that Li Hongxia was missing, and immediately shouted to divert attention: "Li Hongxia, where have you been, you bastard? You've caused so much trouble, but you haven't even come out to show your face. You want my son to clean up your mess? No way."
"Yes, where did Li Hongxia go?"
"With the commotion at home, she hasn't shown up yet. Even Fang Xue hasn't shown up. Where on earth did she go?"
“…”
Old Lady Fang was quite clever, and with her shout, she immediately diverted the attention of the onlookers.
