Chapter 156 What does it have to do with me if I can’t borrow money?
After hearing what Wu Jun said, Zhou Yong didn't even give him a bit of face, and said it quite bluntly: "You have to understand, you ruined someone's innocence and got her pregnant. If this happened to your relative, would you think that 2,000 yuan is too much compensation?"
Unless the knife pierces your body, you will never feel pain.
Put yourself in her shoes, if this happened to Wu Jun's sister, Zhou Yonggan said that with his personality, he would definitely not let it go.
Wu Jun opened his mouth, and then hung his head like a deflated ball: "But I can't come up with that much money?"
Zhou Yong glanced at the dejected Wu Jun, his eyes full of mockery: "Brother-in-law, all your relatives have jobs, it's easy to scrape together more than a thousand yuan."
The Wu family relied on their jobs and always looked down on others, so Zhou Yong had no good feelings towards Wu Jun's family.
Wu Jun sighed, his face as pale as an eggplant hit by frost: "Brother-in-law, to be honest, most of the 800 yuan in my hand was borrowed..."
After working for so many years, Wu Jun spent all his salary on himself, so it was not easy for him to save some money.
Zhou Yong thought to himself: What does not being able to borrow money have to do with me?
Anyway, he won't do anything that requires both money and effort, so whoever wants to help him can do so.
"Brother-in-law, you need to get the money in place as soon as possible, and try to resolve the issue with the woman before the boss officially starts work..."
Wu Jun kept nodding, wondering where he could borrow money.
"Does it have to be two thousand dollars?"
Two thousand yuan is a huge sum of money for anyone in these days.
Zhou Yong raised his eyebrows: "Brother-in-law, you don't have to give me a penny. You can figure out how to solve the problem yourself..."
It’s hard to say whether a woman will accept this money. Zhou Yong meant that if it didn’t work, he should talk to the woman’s parents.
As long as the woman's family receives the money, they will naturally appease the woman, and the rest of the things will be easy.
Wu Jun nodded awkwardly. Li Hongjun saw that the discussion was over. He looked at the time and said, "Let's put it this way. Let's go back."
Li Baotian got off the ground, Zhou Yong stood up, Li Hongjun called Li Caixia, and the four members of Li Baoshan's family went back.
After seeing them off, Li Baotian and Zhou Yong returned to the house.
Zhang Guifang asked Li Baotian: "What did you say?"
Li Baotian frowned: "What else can I say? I have to help Wu Jun for Caixia's sake."
Zhang Guifang sighed, muttered to herself, lifted the lid of the pot, took out the breakfast items one by one, and placed them next to the stove.
Zhou Yong carried the kang table into the house, Li Caiyun picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and Li Baotian went to the bowl rack to get the pickles.
During breakfast, Zhang Guifang and Li Baotian started talking about Wu Jun. Li Caiyun occasionally interjected, but Zhou Yong did not participate in the topic.
"Grandma, I want to eat canned food."
Li Caixia and her husband came with four boxes of gifts, among which were two bottles of canned yellow peaches that Li Jingchu had his eyes on.
Zhang Guifang looked down at her eldest grandson and said, "Goudan, eat the canned food later."
We were having breakfast, and the canned food was cold. The children would feel uncomfortable in their stomachs if they ate it.
Li Jingchu glanced at the two canned yellow peaches on the cabinet, and pulled his younger brother Li Jingen under the table with his little hand.
The two brothers exchanged glances and looked at Zhou Kexin who was eating.
The three siblings looked at each other. Zhou Yong did not give them a chance to discuss countermeasures: "Eat your meals well and don't think about eating canned food."
Zhou Kexin looked at Zhou Yong with a smile and drank a mouthful of porridge silently.
The brothers Li Jingchu and Li Jingen lowered their heads and ate their food obediently, which made Li Baotian and Zhang Guifang couldn't help but smile.
After dinner, Li Caiyun and Zhang Guifang cleaned up the dishes, Zhou Yong went to fetch water, and Li Baotian made ice lanterns for the children.
At night, the three children seemed extremely excited and went out to play with lanterns in their hands.
Although the weather was cold, the streets were bustling with activity.
The laughter and cheers of children could be heard one after another, and groups of children gathered together to laugh and play.
The older children were playing sandbag throwing, skipping rubber ropes, spinning tops and kicking shuttlecocks. They all seemed carefree, bringing a lot of joy to everyone invisibly.
Zhou Yong stood in front of his front door, chatting with his neighbor's eldest brother, while three children were skipping and running around on the street holding lanterns.
Li Baotian and Zhang Guifang came out of the house. More and more people gathered in front of the Li family's gate, and occasional bursts of laughter broke out.
“…”
The next day, Zhou Yong and Li Hongjun went to Hongqi Commune early in order to block Xu Jianmin.
Although Xu Jianmin was reluctant to help, the person who asked him to do this was Zhou Yong, and they were brothers, so he still agreed even if some things went against his principles.
Zhou Yong was grateful to his senior from the bottom of his heart, so he asked Wu Jun to buy two packs of cigarettes for Xu Jianmin.
Wu Jun was quite capable. In addition to buying two packs of cigarettes for Xu Jianmin, he also bought him two bottles of good wine.
Through Xu Jianmin, Wu Jun's leadership suspended the investigation into him, but this matter could not be delayed for too long.
Because many people in Wu Jun’s unit are paying attention to this matter, the leader needs to give everyone an explanation.
Wu Jun begged everyone for help and raised two thousand yuan. At first, the woman was unwilling to settle the matter privately, but after her parents persuaded her, she finally gave in.
In fact, the woman and her family knew very well that even if she continued to make trouble, at most Wu Jun would lose his job and spend a few years in jail, and she would get nothing in the end.
If she settled the matter privately, she could get 2,000 yuan in compensation. With this money, even if she never got married, her life would not be too bad.
Although the woman changed her mind, just as Zhou Yong expected, Wu Jun lost his job because of the bad impact of the incident.
Fortunately, Wu Jun was not fired for his improper lifestyle, but his leader charged him with dereliction of duty.
Although Wu Jun was dissatisfied with the result, he had no choice but to accept it.
After all, he just lost his job and it was good enough that he didn't go to jail. Moreover, the incident did not affect the future of his children. What else did he want?
Wu Jun’s matter came to an end here. As for how he would survive after losing his job, it was not something Zhou Yong considered at all.
After resolving Wu Jun's issue, Zhou Yong went to the county town with 100,000 yuan in cash. After returning, he began to arrange job vacancies at the brick factory.
After repeated discussions between Zhou Yong and Li Baotian, they decided to allocate the quotas to the most needy families in the village.
There are some families in the village with a large population and few laborers, and their lives are very difficult. Allocating jobs to them is considered as the village's care for the poor families.
Once the news was announced, there was an uproar.
Most people have no objection to the village's arrangements. Even if a few are dissatisfied, they can only discuss the matter in private.
In early February, Zhou Yong received a notice from his superiors that the team leaders of each village production team needed to go to the provincial party school for study for a month.
Zhou Yong, with his family and children reluctant to leave, carried his bags and set out for the provincial capital.
Only when Zhou Yong was no longer visible did Li Caiyun take her children, Zhang Guifang and Li Baotian home.
"Just stay at home and listen to grandma. Mom is going to work."
The three children responded, and Li Caiyun and Li Baotian left home together.
Li Caiyun entered the farm office at the right time and was stunned when she saw Zhao Jianguo sitting on a stool drinking water.
Zhao Jianguo stared at Li Caiyun who was walking towards him. He slowly stood up, and a hint of tenderness inadvertently appeared on his originally resolute face.
