"I'm sorry, Sister Chunhua, I didn't take good care of him."
The foreman was accompanied by a bricklayer, who was also stunned when he saw the situation at the house and then apologized.
Before Liu Chunhua could say anything, Jiang Chao woke up.
Liu Chunhua hurried over to help the man up, and Jiang Chao got angry when he saw the two of them!
"It's all your fault. I told you long ago that the tripod is not sturdy, but no one listened! You either pay the money or this matter will not end!"
Jiang Ruyi was really surprised when she heard this. It seemed that Jiang Chao was not completely at fault.
She thought it was Jiang Chao's own carelessness. If it was a problem with the tripod, then it would not be unreasonable to ask for some money.
But Liu Chunhua glared at him and asked, "Don't talk about money all the time. Tell me what's going on first."
The bricklayer sighed and explained.
It turned out that the tripod had problems, so he told Jiang Chao to replace it, but Jiang Chao was lazy and didn't change it. And there was no problem in the previous two days, so who would have thought that this would happen today.
The foreman also explained, "Also, this tripod is for laborers only. The angle and height are based on the laborers' personal habits. It is not appropriate for others to help adjust it."
Jiang Chao got furious when he heard this, and blamed them for not taking it seriously.
But Liu Chunhua knew Jiang Chao too well. He was an expert at being lazy and taking advantage of troubled waters. She knew without even asking that it was Jiang Chao who was lazy.
"Big sister, I see your family is in trouble too. What I mean is that I will give you some money. Anyway, we have delayed the work, and there are indeed some problems with our tripod."
Liu Chunhua thought about it and shook her head, "No, I won't take the money. After all, he also has responsibilities. How about this, when he gets better, you can let him do any work you need."
The bricklayer was not happy about it. After all, something happened once, and who knew if Jiang Chao would bear a grudge? Moreover, he really looked down on Jiang Chao for being lazy.
But seeing the request in Liu Chunhua's eyes, he was too embarrassed to refuse, and finally sighed and said, "Okay, as long as he is willing to work hard, it's not impossible to take him with you."
Liu Chunhua also knew that the other party didn't want to take it with him, so she didn't say anything more.
But after everyone left, Jiang Chao became unhappy.
"You vicious woman, not only do you not want money, but you also want me to continue working for you. Are you just hoping that I will die?"
Liu Chunhua threw the towel she had just picked up into the basin. "What's the matter? You don't work and just sit back and eat, and then your whole family will starve to death? I want my whole family to survive, how can I be called a vicious woman? Explain it to me clearly."
Jiang Chao was choked and speechless, and Jiang Ruyi was also laughing as she listened.
She didn't expect that her cheap mother was actually so capable.
However, Jiang Chao only kept quiet temporarily. Seeing that he could not win the argument with Liu Chunhua, he used his injury as an excuse to order Liu Chunhua to do this and that.
Liu Chunhua was too lazy to argue and just worked silently.
While working, she began to think about how to keep the job going.
Although she worked hard and was willing to work hard, Jiang Ruyi was still angry.
She would curse him whenever she had something to do, "What a loser, you didn't earn any money when you went out to work, and now you have to serve him when you come back. You really don't believe in anything you do, and you are the number one drag on others."
Liu Chunhua sighed quietly. She also felt that Jiang Chao was indeed a burden to them at this moment.
While cooking, Liu Chunhua was absent-minded and the fire in the stove was almost going out.
[Hurry up and add some firewood, what are you thinking about? ]
Liu Chunhua reacted and quickly added some hay to the stove. The fire instantly became stronger. Liu Chunhua picked up the spatula and stirred the pot. "It's all about this business. The doctor said he has to lie down for a hundred days. If I stay at home to accompany and take care of him, this business will fail a long time ago."
[Yes, we do need to think of a solution.]
Finally, the two decided to find someone to help, and Liu Chunhua suggested looking for Zhao Tiezhu.
[It's ok to let him help with the hairy tofu, but isn't it inappropriate to let him mix in the vegetables? ]
She did not forget that Widow Zhao's family had become disloyal when they saw that they were earning so much. Although both of them admitted their mistakes afterwards, there was no guarantee that they would not be jealous this time.
"No one wants him now, and he's the only reliable one. We can only give it a try." Liu Chunhua made up her mind, and Jiang Ruyi didn't have a better idea, so she stopped persuading him.
Liu Chunhua asked someone to send a message to Zhao Tiezhu to come over. But she had to hide to meet people in fear of being seen by Jiang Chao.
"Brother Zhao, my husband broke his leg and can't get up. I have to take care of him, but my business can't stop now, so I want you to help me deliver the goods regularly. Is that okay with you?"
Zhao Tiezhu didn't hesitate and nodded directly, "Of course it's OK, your business is my business, Zhao Tiezhu. In fact... I also know about your family's situation, it's really hard for you."
The last time Jiang Chao sent someone to inquire, Zhao Tiezhu got the news. He also went to find out what happened later. It can only be said that it was really not easy for Liu Chunhua to be a woman.
"Sister Chunhua, I'm not good at speaking, but I'll be frank. I'm really sorry for what you've been through. If you have any problems later, just let me know. There's no need to be so polite to me."
Liu Chunhua was startled.
After all, in this day and age, if people hear such words, they will definitely spit at them.
"Well, thank you. I saw that you are a nice person, so I thought of sending you some vegetables and other things at the same time as sending you the tofu. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother you."
The roots of Zhao Tiezhu's ears turned red, and he knew that he had gone too far.
"I know, I know. What I said just now was wrong. I must have scared Sister Chunhua. I'm sorry."
Liu Chunhua waved her hands repeatedly.
Jiang Ruyi's eyes sparkled. This person is actually quite interesting.
On the way back, she suddenly asked, "This Zhao Tiezhu seems pretty good, would you like to consider him? After all, there are better ones, so you can think about it. Don't always hang your head on the same tree."
Liu Chunhua was startled, then shook her head, "Now we have three children, and Jiang Chao is still like this, how can I think of anything else? I just want to bring you all up, and I am like this too."
Jiang Ruyi was silent. After being here for so long, she actually realized that she and her two useless brothers were, to some extent, a burden to Liu Chunhua.
After returning home, Jiang Chao started to act up again.
"Why is there no wine? I want to drink, but you didn't kill me. Now you're abusing me by not buying me wine..."
Jiang Ruyi felt like slapping him twice after hearing this, and her little face was full of impatience.
[Drink, drink, drink. Why doesn't this cheap dad drink himself to death? This way we can avoid divorce. ]
The corner of Liu Chunhua's mouth twitched, but she didn't say anything. She turned around, put the food away, and went on with her own business without even looking at Jiang Chao.
At night, Liu Chunhua was drowsy when she suddenly heard some rustling in the yard.
Things have been uneasy here lately, so Liu Chunhua subconsciously thought that a thief was coming.
She had just gotten out of bed, holding a stick and ready to go out and take a look.
[The young wife came to see my cheap father, but you really don't want to let her see it? ]
Jiang Ruyi suddenly spoke.
Liu Chunhua's body stiffened, then she silently put down the stick and sat under the lamp motionless.
At this time, Jiang Ruyi felt that what she said seemed to be too much.
Liu Chunhua suddenly asked, "How do you know it's Widow Zhang?"
[During the day, there were a lot of people and it was a mess. I saw her outside watching.]
Liu Chunhua said nothing, just stared blankly at the oil lamp.
I originally wanted her to stay with me tonight, but now that someone else is with me, she didn't go.
[How about... you go and take a look? If she's really the one, just chase her away. ]
Liu Chunhua didn't respond, but just continued to stare at the oil lamp in a daze.
Things have come to this, and she isn't as concerned about Jiang Chao as before. What difference does it make whether she drives him away or not?
The next day, when she got up, she happened to run into Zhao Tiezhu.
When the two met, no one spoke. Zhao Tiezhu left in a hurry, and Liu Chunhua just cooked by herself.
This scene left Jiang Ruyi confused.
But she didn't want to interfere too much. She had been very busy recently, which made Jiang Ruyi a little exhausted.
It was a rare quiet day today, so she fell into a deep sleep.
Liu Chunhua smiled as she listened to her breathing, "This is more like a child."
Jiang Ruyi usually has a lot of clever ideas, and she almost thinks she is a grown-up girl.
Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Zhize came back. He peeked at Liu Chunhua, pursed his lips, put down a basket of eggs and left.
