My aunt's face was twisted in pain, and her screams like a pig being slaughtered attracted the neighbors in the village.
Several sturdy men were standing at the gate of the courtyard, looking around. When they saw that Zhao Wei had subdued his aunt-in-law, they began to whisper to each other.
"Oh my, this Zhao family incident is really a big deal."
"That's right. I heard that Zhao Qian was beaten to death by his parents..."
"Zhao Wei is such a tough president. If it were someone else, they wouldn't dare to meddle in this matter."
Hearing the discussions outside, my uncle's face became even uglier.
He suddenly threw the broom away, turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate: "You are so cruel, let's wait and see!"
When the aunt saw her husband was about to run away, she was so anxious that she kicked her legs and said, "You heartless man, you're just going to leave me here like this?"
"And... don't we want our son anymore?"
The uncle shouted without even turning his head: "What the hell, let that little bastard fend for himself, I'll just pretend I never gave birth to him, bah!"
"But……"
…
Zhao Wei then let go of his hand. His aunt collapsed on the ground holding her swollen wrist, still cursing.
He took out a notebook from his pocket, opened it and wrote a few words: "Aunt, I have written down everything that happened today. If you embarrass Zhao Qian again in the future, I will report your actions to the Public Security Bureau."
Apart from threatening them with this, what else can we do?
In the end, the aunt took Zhao Qian away. Zhao Wei had no reason to keep them, so let's just leave it like this for the time being!
There was no more excitement to watch, and the villagers gathered at the door left one after another.
This time, it was Zhao Wei’s family’s turn to talk about how good the food was.
The food on that table was so delicious that it would make you hungry. No one was not envious.
Some people are jealous, so naturally some people will report anonymously.
However, no matter how vivid and specific the report was, and even how exaggerated it contained, it all fell on deaf ears without exception.
What's so noteworthy about the delicious food and fish in Zhao Wei's house? As a president, his allowance is higher than that of an average team leader, so he is fully capable of eating these.
Looking at the cold food on the table, Zhao Wei asked Yunxiu to take it to the kitchen to reheat it, and then said to Wang Caigu, "Mom, today is your birthday, but you have caused so many troubles. You are so upset. Please don't take it to heart."
"Today I made a cake like the people in the city. Come and try it later!"
Wang Caigu had no appetite at this moment, she just sighed with a forced smile.
"Ah... It's not a big deal what you eat on your birthday, but I just feel that there are such big differences between people."
They were all from the same village, and many of them were kind and righteous. Only those from the Zhao family really opened her eyes.
However, as soon as one crisis came, another one arose. Unexpectedly, someone once again came to this small courtyard where no one had ever visited.
The man who came this time was a somewhat weathered-looking man, Zhao Wei's uncle Wang Aimin.
This man was about the same age as my uncle, and he did not come empty-handed. He was holding a live chicken in his hand, but his body was dirty from the fall, and his clothes and pants were torn in many places. He looked quite disheveled.
Wang Caigu was frightened at the time and rushed over to him: "Brother, what happened to you? You fell like this!"
"It's not easy to come all the way here, why are you bringing a chicken?"
As she was about to take the live chicken, Wang Aimin retracted her hand and held the chicken in her arms, with a flattering yet embarrassed look on her face: "Sister, don't touch this chicken yet, don't get your hands dirty."
Then he handed the chicken to Zhao Yong.
This kind of gift was considered very valuable in the countryside, so Zhao Yong was naturally deeply moved and thanked him repeatedly.
Zhao Wei greeted him with a smile on his face: "Uncle, please come in and sit down first. We have plenty of time. Let's talk slowly."
Wang Aimin stood still, looking around the yard, and said in a low voice: "To be honest, I came here without telling my husband. I have to go back after sitting for a while! Otherwise... there will be trouble again!"
"Cai Gu, I know it's your birthday today. We haven't seen each other for a long time. My brother is thinking about you and is worried that you... are not doing well..."
She was about to cry as she spoke, but after taking a look at the large bluestone tiled house, she began to smile again.
"Fortunately, it seems that you are living a good life now, and I, your brother, have finally put my worries to rest."
Wang Caigu was moved to tears by her elder brother's behavior and held his hand tightly: "Brother, I should have gone to look for you these days, but I was busy with family affairs and couldn't get away for a while. It's really my fault!"
She actually wanted to go and see her elder brother, but every time she thought of her sister-in-law who was as ferocious as a tigress, she naturally felt scared.
It kept dragging on like this until now, when the two siblings finally got to see each other.
Wang Aimin patted Wang Caigu's hand gently, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Zhao Wei was quick to notice that his uncle looked different. He looked outside the yard, and after confirming that no one was around, he lowered his voice and asked, "Uncle, are you... having any problems?"
"We are all family. If there is really a problem, we will help in any way we can. Please don't be shy."
Wang Aimin's old face suddenly turned red: "Well... it's like this, I heard that you became the president, can you see if you can arrange a job for your cousin?"
"I know this is a bit difficult, but your aunt has urged me several times and has been making trouble at home every day. I really can't do anything about her."
"Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you. Just tell me, whether it works or not, give me a reply, and I'll get rid of this woman when I get back."
Originally, there was no chicken today. His wife was not a decent person. She asked for help from others and came to celebrate the birthday of her sister, but she refused to accept any gifts.
The chicken was caught quietly, and if it knew about it, there's no telling what would happen.
Alas... he didn't blame the woman for being like this. It was all because of poverty. If she had a little money, who would want to do something so ugly?
Zhao Wei didn't expect that this time the chicken was actually sent for his cousin.
Although I can understand it in my heart, I am still a little unhappy.
If he hadn't become the president, would this chicken not have been delivered?
“Uncle, I want to help you, but my cousin is uneducated, so it won’t work!”
Wang Aimin raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "You are uneducated, but you are still the president. You can do it. My Wei'er can be a logistics officer, a warehouse manager, or even a gatekeeper!"
"I really can't do it. The gatekeeper has to receive and send letters and newspapers every day. If my cousin doesn't understand this, he will just cause trouble."
"There are other things that need to be registered. He can't even write his own name properly. He can't read a single word. It's really not acceptable."
