Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Is this a threat?
"What?!" Jiang Ersao stood up suddenly. She stood up so quickly that the wound on her head hurt a little, but she didn't care about it anymore. Her face was full of shock and panic. "Xiao Peng was arrested? How could he be arrested if he didn't do anything bad?"
Besides panic, there is also confusion.
She gave birth to two sons and two daughters, but unfortunately the eldest son and daughter had been sent to the countryside. From time to time, they would write her a letter complaining, and the whole letter was full of requests for help from her, as if she could not be relied on at all.
So the couple placed all their hopes for their retirement on their second son.
Although he was a bit of a gambler, he was good-tempered and filial. He promised to give them all his monthly salary, and only a little pocket money would be enough.
But if Xiao Peng is caught, what will she do in the future?
"No way, no way, you must be mistaken!"
"No, someone from the factory came to report that Xiao Peng was caught gambling with others during work hours. He is now in the security department. They said he will be severely punished!" Jiang Xiaoguo hesitated for a moment and said tremblingly, "Yes, someone went to the factory to report it."
"Who was the murderer who reported this?" Jiang Ersao roared, as if she would chop the murderer with a knife if he appeared before her. "Who did you say it was? Is he also from the textile factory? Tell me his name. If he can't release Xiao Peng, I will make his whole family restless!"
"This..." Jiang Xiaoguo hesitated and didn't know what to say.
Jiang Lao Er, who was standing by, seemed to understand something and asked with wide eyes, "Could it be Jiang Nan Nan?"
"How is it possible..."
"Yes, it's her."
The voices of Jiang Ersao and Jiang Xiaoguo rang out at the same time. The former hadn't even finished her words when she turned into an expression of disbelief, "How dare she?!"
Jiang Nannan is really brave.
She did not go home after leaving the guesthouse, but sat on the steps outside the guesthouse in silence.
Cheng Jin's departure did make her sad, but compared to sadness, she cared more about the future. She didn't have time to shed tears and be sad. What she had to do now was to find a way to stay in the city within the last half month.
She holds the Jiang family's leverage.
If she really makes a big fuss, she will definitely achieve her goal.
But after a few hours of consideration, Jiang Nannan went directly to the textile factory and reported Jiang Xiaopeng as her younger sister, saying that she had gathered with co-workers to gamble during work hours and caught them in the small room in the workshop.
This behavior is a case of sacrificing one's own relatives for the sake of justice.
It would be really bad if her reputation got out. Everyone she knew would grumble about her, thinking that she was too cruel. She could not report her own brother no matter what.
But on the surface, the act of "killing one's own relatives for the sake of justice" is worthy of praise.
The very next day, after the textile factory criticized and punished Jiang Xiaopeng and others, it also solemnly praised Jiang Nannan.
Because of this, Jiang Ersao couldn't even stay in the hospital. In fact, she could have been discharged long ago, but living in the hospital was much more comfortable than living at home. The bed was comfortable and the quilt was warm. She could just cover her head and hum a few times and the nurse would help her serve tea and water. When she had nothing to do, she could visit the next ward.
What's more important is that whoever beats her should pay for it. She would like to stay there for ten days or half a month.
But after this incident, the couple had no place to live.
He didn't even bother to argue and ran around all night trying to find a connection to get Xiaopeng released. However, the next day, the punishment for Jiang Xiaopeng was announced in front of the entire factory. He and three other gamblers were taken to a farm for reform for a month, their wages were downgraded, and they were not eligible for awards for three years.
This is no small matter.
Putting aside the salary reduction, Jiang Xiaopeng is still just a temporary worker, so the reduction or demotion will not have much impact on him. But not being rated as excellent for three years is a serious matter. Not being rated as excellent means that he will not be able to become a regular employee in these three years, and his salary for three years will be only a dozen yuan.
There was also the matter of being sent to a farm for reform. Even if it was only for a month, it was a stain on Jiang Xiaopeng. Things like promotion in the future would have basically nothing to do with him, and it would be even more difficult to talk about a partner. Generally speaking, which girl with better conditions would be willing to marry a man who is destined to have no future?
When Jiang Ersao heard the punishment, her legs went weak.
She knew too well the consequences of this punishment. She couldn't be converted to a regular employee for three years. Even if she was converted in the future, she could only wait for her seniority and would not be promoted. After working for twenty or thirty years, she would probably only get 20 or 30 yuan in salary. Could this support a family?
They don’t have many family members now, but Xiaopeng still has to find a wife and have children, right?
Even if you only have two children in the end, you have to support five people with a salary of twenty or thirty yuan. For example, you can't even eat half full, let alone 80% full!
"You beast!" Jiang Ersao stood up suddenly. She rushed to the closed door and pounded it madly with her fists, not caring whether she would break the door or not. She was too angry to care about these things. "Jiang Nannan, get out of here! Do you think you can get away with hiding? I should have drowned you when I gave birth to you, so that you wouldn't harm others here!"
"Second sister-in-law, please be gentle. If you hammer the door in, you'll have to find someone to fix it yourself." Fourth sister-in-law Jiang felt a pain on her face. Although the family has been divided, the house has not been divided yet. Several girls live together in that room, and her little daughter also lives in it.
Besides, she didn't really want to offend Jiang Nannan at home.
If she could be so cruel to her own brother, she would be even less scrupulous about other people. She didn't want to end up in a fight with Jiang Nannan.
She pushed her man and said, "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Go and pull it!"
"What are you pulling! Let her smash it!" Old Mrs. Wang had been discharged from the hospital by now. She was very angry after learning what happened yesterday. She had been in charge of all the big and small matters in the family for decades. Whether it was money or every bite of food, it was distributed by her. In her opinion, no matter what it was or whether it was an object, it had to be distributed by her and it was absolutely not allowed to be stolen without her knowledge.
Even though the family has separated now, she still feels this way.
Rather than Jiang Nannan reporting Xiao Peng for gambling, she was even more angry that Jiang Nannan had the guts to secretly contact Cheng Jin without telling her!
Even if the second son's wife doesn't punish Jiang Nannan, she still has to give her a good scolding!
She already had a stick in her hand, and as soon as the second son's wife broke down the door, she was going to rush in and beat Jiang Nannan half to death!
"Mom! Can you please stop making trouble?" Jiang Sisao was very annoyed. This family was full of trouble. What was the point of beating Jiang Nannan? Did she hope that she would get angry and report their whole family?
Just as I was about to step forward to block, I heard the sound of the door being pushed open.
Jiang Nannan walked out of the room in front of everyone. Just as Jiang Ersao raised her fist to strike, she said calmly, "If you feel that being sent to reform for a month is not enough, then do it. Or if you and dad want to go over and keep him company, that's fine. You don't think I only caught him gambling, do you?"
Jiang Ersao's heart skipped a beat. "How dare you threaten me? I'm your own mother!"
That’s what they said, but their momentum has already weakened.
Jiang Nannan snorted softly, "You already said that Jiang Xiaopeng is my biological brother, but didn't I send him to the farm for rehabilitation myself?"
After he finished speaking, there were clearly several people standing in the room, but no one dared to speak.
Including the furious Jiang Ersao and Old Lady Wang, who originally wanted to teach people a lesson with a stick, all of them had stiff expressions, as if they wanted to speak but did not dare to.
Not to mention Jiang Sisao and the others, who all stayed where they were without saying a word, not even daring to make eye contact.
She had many ways to control them, but she chose this method because she was telling the Jiang family that she didn't care about anything.
Don't care about the so-called family affection, and don't even think about using family affection to control her.
If she could even report her own brother, what about her other relatives?
Jiang Nannan raised her chin slightly and said, "I have already informed the factory that the workshop cannot be short of people. I will take over Jiang Xiaopeng's shift."
"Hiss!" Mrs. Jiang took a breath and couldn't help but step back.
How cruel! He first reported his own brother and sent him to the farm, and then took over his brother's job quota. This step is really well calculated.
What Jiang Shuangshuang said before was right. What were they making a fuss about? It would have been much better if Jiang Nannan had married someone from another province. But now, she couldn't sleep well living under the same roof with such a ruthless man.
"What did you say?!" Jiang Ersao seemed to have no idea what was going on. "That's your second brother's job. Why should you take over? Even if there's a shortage of people, it won't be your turn."
"You have no choice." Jiang Nannan found a chair and sat down. "If you haven't been evaluated for excellence for three years, you won't be promoted in your lifetime. You can only get a salary of a dozen yuan. Can he support his family?"
"...How dare you say that! Who made him like this?" Mrs. Jiang gritted her teeth in anger. Seeing her sitting there as if nothing had happened, she became even angrier and wanted to slap her in the face.
"Do you think he is pitiful?" Jiang Nannan smiled sarcastically.
The person she envied most in her life was her second brother because she thought he was very lucky.
When the eldest brother and sister were among the first to go to the countryside, they followed a group of ambitious young people without hesitation and traveled far away. They were full of hope, but the reality was very different from theirs.
With them testing the waters first, the second elder brother naturally didn't want to go to the countryside to suffer with them. However, he never worried about going to the countryside for a single day, because as soon as he reached a certain age, his father gave him the job.
So many people in the family were worried about going to the countryside. Grandma was worried about her aunt, the third aunt was worried about Jiang Shuangshuang, and the fourth aunt was worried about Jiang Xiaoguo. And everyone had already determined that she would definitely go to the countryside.
Only my second brother, who took over my father's shift, sat and watched the fun at home.
In addition, the Youth Educated Office was in a hurry, and many female comrades had to consider marriage in order to stay in the city. Jiang Xiaopeng, who had a job, instantly became a popular man. Many female comrades came into contact with him, and he did not refuse any of them. Otherwise, his previous salary had always been handed over to his grandmother, so where would he get the money to gamble?
He cheated all that money out of other people by using sweet words.
Jiang Nannan looked at her coldly and continued, "Now is not the most pitiful time for him. Now he just lost his job and was sent to the farm for a month. The most pitiful time was when I went to the Public Security Bureau to report him for being a hooligan to many female comrades. At that time, he had to stay in jail for several years!"
"!!!" Jiang Ersao's eyes widened. Her whole body was stiff and she didn't even dare to breathe.
She finally understood why other people were so scared after being threatened.
This is a threat, right?
Threatening her not to work, she caused her own brother to go to jail for a few years? !
