Chapter 301 You have so many tricks up your sleeve
Zhou Yong knew Ma San's character well. He was not that kind of person.
He knew it, but in this situation, Zhou Yong couldn't just speak for his brother.
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "Liu Juan, there must be a misunderstanding here. You two have been married for more than ten years. Don't you know who San is?"
Liu Juan wiped her tears away. She didn't treat Zhou Yong as an outsider and told him everything.
Before the school was burned down, people had seen Ma San and Teacher Song chatting enthusiastically in private more than once. A few days ago, someone saw Teacher Song walking out of Liu Juan's house while she was tidying up her clothes while Liu Juan went to work.
Liu Juan didn't bother with Ma San about the previous incident, thinking that others were exaggerating.
But she couldn't stand what happened next. The other party almost told her that he had witnessed Ma San and Teacher Song having an affair with his own eyes.
Ma San frowned: "I have explained it to you. Teacher Song saw that it was inconvenient for me to carry water, so he kindly helped me carry water and delivered it to my home. Isn't it normal for me to go out and organize my clothes?"
Liu Juan laughed in anger: "Why doesn't she tidy up her clothes in our house before going out?"
Ma San froze and said dryly: "Maybe you are embarrassed in front of me?"
Liu Juan glared at Ma San and said, "You're embarrassed to sort clothes in the house? Then she's embarrassed to sort clothes in our yard?"
Ma San sighed: "Even if that's the case, you can't say there's a problem between us, right?"
Liu Juan was furious: "She is an unmarried girl, why is she always courting you?"
Ma San was at a loss for words for a moment: "When did he ever show me his courtesy? We are just colleagues. There is no such thing as what you said, let alone the things that everyone spreads privately..."
Liu Juan pointed at Ma San and was so angry that she picked up a feather duster to hit him.
Ma San did not fight back, but hid behind Zhou Yong.
The three of them were like an eagle catching chickens, and Zhou Yong was dizzy.
Liu Juan stopped panting. She looked fiercely at Ma San who was hiding behind Zhou Yong and said, "If you have the guts, don't come out for the rest of your life."
Ma San pulled the corner of his mouth and lowered his voice: "Brother Zhou, can you help me explain it?"
Zhou Yong stared at the angry Liu Juan, knowing that she would not listen to anything at the moment, he turned around and hit Ma San with a stick: "Have you had enough of your good life? I think you deserve to be punished. Look at how angry you made Liu Juan. Why don't you apologize quickly..."
Ma San looked at Zhou Yong, only to see him winking at him, and quickly stood up to apologize.
Liu Juan snorted and pointed at Ma San with a feather duster, scaring him so much that he shrank back behind Zhou Yong.
Zhou Yong didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw this scene. Ma San stammered, "A gentleman should talk, not fight. Put down the feather duster."
Liu Juan put one hand on her waist and said, "Come out if you have the guts."
Ma San stuck his neck out and muttered, "I'm not a tiger, so I won't go out and look for trouble!"
Liu Juan was about to say something but stopped herself. The bell on the wall rang. She looked at the time, dropped the feather duster, glared at Ma San with gritted teeth, and went straight to work.
As soon as she left, Ma San breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhou Yong raised his eyebrows with a smile in his eyes.
Ma San and Liu Juan are like this. No matter how much they quarrel, they go to work when it’s time to go to work, and continue quarreling after work.
In Liu Juan's words, the noise is not over, so you still have to go to work.
"Tell me, what's going on between you and Teacher Song?"
Ma San explained the whole thing to Zhou Yong with a bitter face.
The school has one vacancy for a teacher to be promoted to a regular teacher this year. Mr. Song, a private teacher, wants to be promoted, so he tries again and again to use his connections to get the vacancy.
Ma Sandu told her that since she had only been working for a few years, she could not be given the quota.
But Teacher Song did not give up and continued to show great courtesy to him, which made Ma San very confused.
As for the rumors outside that they were in a hot relationship, it was purely Teacher Song who did it on purpose.
She wanted to use her ambiguous relationship with Ma San to force out other teachers who wanted to become full-time teachers.
Ma San had seen through her intentions long ago, but due to her young age and the fact that Ma San had a good relationship with her older brother, in order to protect her reputation, he did not dare to expose her little thoughts.
However, his tolerance and warnings not only failed to make Teacher Song restrain herself, but instead made her feel that Ma San had some interest in her.
After listening to Ma San's statement, Zhou Yong hit him with a stick without any hesitation.
"Are you mentally ill? Why did you hide this from Liu Juan? Why don't you just tell her directly?"
Ma San rubbed his shoulder that was hurt by Zhou Yong's punch: "After all, Teacher Song is a grown-up girl. If this gets out, how will she live in the future?"
Zhou Yong rolled his eyes at him and said, "So you would rather quarrel with Liu Juan than tell the truth?"
Ma San smiled and said, "I know Liu Juan's temper. As long as there is no substantial evidence, she will calm down after a few days."
Zhou Yong curled his lips: "I really didn't realize that you have so many tricks up your sleeve."
Ma San sighed: "Brother Zhou, please stop mocking me. I had no choice but to do this."
Zhou Yong looked at him and said, "You deserve it."
Ma San was silent for a while before he spoke: "I've made up my mind. I'll confirm the number of regular employees tomorrow so that Teacher Song doesn't have to worry about it..."
The quota for regularization should have been allocated after the college entrance examination, but the way things were developing now would not allow Ma San to wait until that time.
Zhou Yong nodded: "The college entrance examination is only a few days away, so it would be fine to confirm the quota in advance."
The college entrance examination in 1983 was held on July 15th, 16th and 17th.
After talking about this matter, Zhou Yong asked Ma San what he wanted to do.
"Brother Zhou, when can the sand and cement be brought over? I'm waiting for the school to be built here!"
After experiencing the school fire, Zhou Kexin's accident and Zhou Xia's incident, Zhou Yong was busy dealing with the emergencies that followed one after another and had no time to pay attention to the school construction.
Zhou Yong nodded, and he thought for a moment and said, "Due to the construction of residential buildings by various units in recent years, the sand and cement are not in good condition..."
Chen Pingliang was troubled by this matter, but the orders for both the sand field and the cement factory were scheduled until next year.
So it would be great if we could transport the sand and cement back by the end of July.
Even Chen Pingliang had to rely on several connections, otherwise he would have to wait until next year.
Ma San frowned slightly: "But if this is the case, the children will have to study in the village for half a semester in the second half of the year..."
Now the children don’t suffer from going to school, but when winter comes, they will suffer.
Zhou Yong was naturally aware of this. If there was any way, he didn't want the children to suffer.
Ma San looked at him and said, "Brother Zhou, can you please borrow some sand and cement from various companies? When our sand and cement arrive, we can return them to them..."
Zhou Yong had thought about this method before and discussed it with Xu Jianmin. However, since all units were rushing to meet deadlines, no one was willing to lend them sand and cement.
After hearing what Zhou Yong said, Ma San said, "Then we can only wait."
Zhou Yong frowned slightly: "I called Huo Yan before, but he was on a business trip. I'll call him again when I get to the brigade to see if he's back from his business trip..."
He wanted to ask Huo Yan for help in borrowing a batch of sand and cement, but it was hard to say whether the task could be accomplished.
