Chapter 347
The onlookers were whispering to each other.
One of the men said to another, "Duan Dawei...isn't he from your production line?"
"There's a guy called Duan Dawei on our production line, but I'm not sure if it's the same person the old lady was talking about. The Duan Dawei on our production line usually looks quite honest and gentle, and doesn't seem like the kind of ungrateful person who would neglect his family."
Old Mrs. Tao wiped her tears hypocritically, but she listened to what the people around her said.
"He looks honest and decent, but he is actually very cruel. He divorced his ex-wife after she was discovered stealing other people's things. I thought Caixia was still young and should have a mother to take good care of her, so I wanted to find a wife for him. But Dawei was disgusted by the wife I suggested for him because she was not good-looking. He made a big fuss at home and scolded me for deliberately recommending a bad wife for him. Because of this, he and his mother moved out and lived alone and no longer cared about his grandfather." Old Mrs. Tao sobbed.
"This is indeed Duan Dawei from our production line. He and his wife are indeed divorced. I heard it was because his wife was not honest." said the man.
"I thought Dawei never mentioned a new partner and that he still had some feelings for his ex-wife. It turns out he wants to find someone better." A female comrade said sarcastically.
"There's nothing wrong with wanting to find someone with better conditions. But because of this, you quarreled with your family, moved out, and no longer cared about the elderly in the family. This is too unfilial and shouldn't be done," said another male comrade.
"I really didn't realize that Duan Dawei was such a person."
When Old Mrs. Tao saw that everyone had taken her words to heart, she cried even more pitifully.
Duan Dawei came over at this time, and when he saw the pitiful look of Old Lady Tao, his temples started throbbing.
Someone said, "Duan Dawei is here—"
Old Mrs. Tao caught a glimpse of Duan Dawei coming through her fingers, trotted over, and knelt in front of him: "Dawei, go back and see your grandfather! Your grandfather misses you so much. Your father passed away early, and it was your grandfather who raised you. Even if you are dissatisfied with the person we introduced you to, you can't just ignore your grandfather and go out and live alone! Do you really want your grandfather to die alone at home?"
"The girl we introduced to you is pretty good except that she's a little uglier than your last wife! You marry a wife to live your life. If you marry another one like your last wife, how will you live? What will happen to Caixia?"
Seeing that Old Lady Tao actually knelt down to beg Duan Dawei, everyone around was shocked.
After hearing what Old Lady Tao said with such earnest words, the people around looked at Duan Dawei with even more strange and disgusted eyes.
Duan Dawei's chest heaved with anger.
On the day they left the slum, Duan's mother told him that Old Lady Tao and Old Man Duan would definitely not let them live a good life outside easily.
Not long after, Old Mrs. Tao came directly to his factory to make a scene.
"Dawei, go home! Go back and be filial to your grandfather, and we will live a good life." Old Mrs. Tao knelt at Duan Dawei's feet, pretending to cry while observing the reactions of the people around her.
She came here specially to make a scene today, of course not because she really wanted Duan Dawei to go back, but because she wanted Duan Dawei to get his salary back.
Originally, her original plan was not to come to the factory to cause trouble. After all, she was a person who cared about face.
After she found out that Duan Dawei and his mother had rented two rooms outside, she wanted to report them to the relevant departments for renting houses privately and engaging in speculation.
However, due to the recent return of a large number of educated youth to the city, housing pressure has increased, and the relevant departments have simply stopped caring about this matter. Instead, they think that renting out houses is a good option, as it can at least help them solve the problem of housing pressure.
Old Mrs. Tao was driven out by people from the relevant departments.
This trick didn't work, so Old Mrs. Tao came to the factory to make trouble.
Seeing that everyone around her was blaming Duan Dawei, Old Lady Tao felt that she had made the right move.
Duan Dawei felt disgusted when he saw the hypocritical look of Old Lady Tao.
He took several steps back, putting some distance between him and Old Lady Tao, and shouted, "Stop pretending! Ever since grandma died, grandpa married you less than three months ago. Since you and grandpa got married, there has been no peace in the family. You keep saying you want to educate Caixia, but you beat her until she's covered in bruises, and grandpa lets you do it. Caixia's clothes are too short, and my mom feels sorry for her and wants to make her clothes that fit her, but you and grandpa disagree, saying every child goes through this. Caixia got frostbite from the cold, and you don't care."
"You said you were doing this for my own good and introducing me to a girl, but you actually introduced me to your own relative. I disagreed, thinking that girl was lazy and greedy, so you deliberately said that I saw that girl was introduced by you, which is why I disagreed, and you and Grandpa forced me to marry that girl!"
"It's not enough that you married my grandfather yourself, you're forcing me to marry your relative. Now you come to the factory spouting nonsense. What are you up to?!"
Duan Dawei's words were clearly heard by many people watching.
Normally, Duan Dawei rarely talked about his own affairs at the factory. He wouldn't have told anyone about Zhao Yuan's affairs unless someone from the same compound mentioned it at the factory.
There are so many people in the factory, and not all of them live in the same compound, so no one is very clear about Duan Dawei's family situation.
When everyone heard Duan Dawei say this, they were shocked.
"It turns out that she is not Dawei's biological grandmother." Someone said suddenly.
"Less than three months after Grandma Duan passed away, Duan Dawei's grandfather married her. The relationship between the two..." Someone deliberately left the words meaningful.
"She just emphasized over and over that Duan Dawei didn't like the girl she introduced to him, but she didn't mention that the girl she introduced to Duan Dawei was her own relative. Not only did she marry Duan Dawei's grandfather, but she also wanted Duan Dawei to marry her relative. No wonder Duan Dawei was unhappy. It's so annoying."
"She even abused Duan Dawei's daughter. I've heard of stepmothers and stepfathers, but this is the first time I've seen a stepgrandmother."
Seeing that the wind direction changed, Old Mrs. Tao became a little anxious. She knelt down and took a few steps forward to pull Duan Dawei's trouser legs, but Duan Dawei quickly stepped back to avoid her.
"Dawei, your grandfather and I are together because we truly love each other. I know we're so old, and talking about love will be laughed at by you young people, but your grandfather's wife died, and I'm still a husband, so what's wrong with us living together? As for Caixia, how could I beat her so hard that her body was covered with wounds? I didn't beat her more than a few times. I've wanted to make new clothes for Caixia for a long time, but if you don't give money to the family, how can I afford to make her new clothes?"
