Chapter 305: A Big Quarrel
He tilted his head slightly, his dark eyes filled with unparalleled dominance.
Mrs. Wen felt inexplicably nervous.
She knew very well how the children in the family got their jobs. They were relying on the Huo family for support. Now, her beloved youngest son was in trouble, and she had to ask the Huo family for help.
Even if she was really driven away, she couldn't leave!
Looking at the determination in Mrs. Wen's eyes, Chen Zhuyi said nothing. It would be most appropriate to let the old man handle these matters.
"In that case, then you should just clean up the guest room as we said at the beginning and stay here for one night."
Chen Zhuyi's voice was as cold as ice, without a trace of warmth.
Mrs. Wen pretended not to notice the disdain expressed towards her and quickly entered the designated room.
"Just let her live here?" Huo Jinzhi didn't think Chen Zhuyi had such good intentions.
"Let them fight for now. Send someone to investigate what's going on between these two families. Why are they so persistent in staying here? We can't drive them away."
Chen Zhu made the arrangements.
She simply hated the idea of someone doing this, but there had to be something wrong. Perhaps someone in her family had caused trouble, forcing them to take a desperate measure.
Huo Jinzhi paused, without even taking a rest, and immediately went to make arrangements.
In this world, what worries us is not the scarcity but the inequality.
Mrs. Wen took her granddaughter Jinhua and naturally slept on the only big bed in the room.
When Mrs. Cai came back with Zhaodi, they entered the room hungry and cursing, and they never expected that there would be someone on the bed.
She continued to accuse me, "I told you I was going to buy something to eat, but you were so heartless that you refused to let me. Now look what we're doing. We're both starving to death!"
The cursing and scolding tone brought tears to Zhaodi's eyes, and she didn't even dare to speak loudly.
She said she wanted to buy some things, but grandma said it was unnecessary, as the old man was a good man and would never treat them unfairly.
It’s a pity that Chen Zhuyi is the one who is in charge now. How can an ordinary person suppress her?
"You useless, money-losing thing, you've cried away all your blessings!" Mrs. Cai continued to curse, lying down without taking off her clothes. "If you can't seduce a man, I'll go back and sell you to the guy at the east end of the village!"
Mrs. Wen had been woken up, and she decisively stretched out her hand to resist a little.
The noise scared Mrs. Cai so much that she screamed. The old lady took off immediately and only after turning on the lights in the house could they see each other clearly.
"What are you doing?" Mrs. Cai complained. Knowing that she couldn't pull Mrs. Wen down, she reached out to tear Jinhua apart.
"You have no manners at all. I'm back, how dare you, little girl, lie in bed all the time?"
She acted like an elder and scolded him, but because of her years of cooperation with Mrs. Wen, she took the initiative to give in.
Jinhua was pulled over with sleepy eyes.
The old guy looks thin, but he has been digging for food in the fields all year round. His strength is no joke!
"Okay, as soon as you walk in, you start howling like a ghost or a wolf. If you don't know, you'd think there's a thief in the house."
Mrs. Wen patted Mrs. Cai, but her eyes showed no emotion.
Anyway, there is only one Huo Jinzhi, so it is hard to say which of them can get him.
It seems that Chen Zhu is not a pushover, so as an old woman, she has to work harder.
Originally, her husband and the Huo family were close relatives. Now that her husband died, no one would say anything if she married Mr. Huo!
They are all so old, and they get together just to live together, and there is no need to cause any emotional disputes.
If Mr. Huo knew that he had been plotted against, he would probably be furious to death.
"Granddaughters, use all your means. Whoever can grab it first will own it. We must not hurt the relationship. We must be good sisters from now on."
Mrs. Cai was lying on the bed, but she did not forget to make three rules with Mrs. Wen.
They seemed to think Huo Jinzhi was in their own pocket and didn't consider other situations at all.
For example, Huo Jinzhi would not like their girl, and Chen Zhuyi would also resist.
It seemed that everything in the Huo family would be left to the two families to take as they pleased.
Mrs. Wen quickly agreed, and she had already made her own plans.
Huo Jinzhi, who has not yet truly taken power, and Mr. Huo, who has retired but still has great power, it would be enough to just grab one of them!
The next day, the two reached an uncanny balance.
The cleaning and tidying of the house were all arranged well. Aunt Zhang, who had been doing housework for many years, looked at Chen Zhuyi with tears in her eyes: "Girl, I'm not going to lose my job, am I?"
Zhang Ma's family situation was not very good. Her husband was a martyr, and so were her son and daughter-in-law. She raised her granddaughter alone and also paid for her education and college.
The higher-ups also took into consideration that the martyr's allowance might not be enough for her to live on, and since her family was full of loyal martyrs, they asked her to come and help Mr. Huo with some small cleaning chores.
Most police officers would do the same job. It can be said that Aunt Zhang has had an easy life these years, supporting her granddaughter with her own salary.
But no one came up and directly took her job!
"It's okay, they are willing to do it. You can go home and spend time with your children during this time." Chen Zhu held Zhang Ma's hand and patted it twice.
I don’t know how long these two pairs of grandparents and grandchildren can hold on.
When Aunt Zhang saw Chen Zhu's calm eyes, she felt relieved. She nodded heavily. There was nothing to ask about the master's family's affairs.
The leaders above her are also very nice to her and would never watch her sleep on the streets.
Besides, her granddaughter will be able to graduate from college next year, and the money she has is enough to support the two of them. She will be assigned a job after graduation, so there is no need to worry.
After comforting herself, Aunt Zhang packed up her small bag and left.
"Did grandpa say when he would be back?" Chen Zhuyi nudged Huo Jinzhi with his elbow, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Mr. Ye said hello and took the person away without saying when he would be back. The family was about to have a big quarrel!
"No, it's your gift that caused all the trouble. This astonishing object, along with the excellent foreign research materials that may be brought back, is the most exciting."
Huo Jinzhi shook his head, but pointed out the problem directly.
Now, many places in the country are not peaceful. Even in Beijing, there may be enemy spies. Even if Chen Zhuyi has made a contribution, no one dares to reward him openly.
The brilliance of those unsung heroes will also lead them to move towards a country full of hope!
But without absolute assurance of protecting outstanding talents, no one dares to expose them.
"Then don't worry about such a small matter. It's the New Year, and we should have a family reunion." Chen Zhu muttered.
