“Here I come!”
Ma Xiulan opened the door immediately.
Director He arrived and noticed that the atmosphere was not right. He was about to turn around and say that he would come back later, but Ma Xiu Lan stopped him.
"Director He, you're here just in time. I've dedicated most of my life to this family, and even after getting divorced, I'm still being schemed against by Zhao Youcai. I can't live like this anymore."
Director He didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but Zhao Youcai and Ma Xiu Lan were both employees of the machinery factory. If anything happened to Ma Xiu Lan, the factory would also be affected.
Now is the critical time for the factory to evaluate its advanced units, and nothing can go wrong.
Especially since I've already come here and still don't do anything, I'll definitely be held accountable in the future.
Who knew he'd run into that? He'd originally just wanted to ask Ma Xiu Lan to help his family prepare a meal to entertain his in-laws tomorrow.
His wife's cooking was terrible, so he originally wanted to find his neighbor Lin Erniu.
But Lin Erniu said that Director He’s in-laws were from the south, and they were afraid that they would not be used to her cooking, so the canteen chef Ma Xiu Lan could cook dishes with southern flavors.
Director He came over to invite Ma Xiu Lan.
In fact, Ma Xiulan remembered that something like this happened in her previous life.
She heard Lin Erniu say that she had kindly prepared a meal for Director He's relatives who came from afar, but they didn't eat much. On the one hand, she felt very guilty, and on the other hand, she complained that Director He's relatives were picky eaters and difficult to serve.
So this morning she went to find Lin Erniu in advance, gave her ten yuan, and asked her to recommend herself to Director He when he came to her house.
After all, if you cook a meal for your neighbor, you only charge him a little food, but it is actually ten dollars.
So Lin Erniu agreed.
This is why Director He is here now.
Zhao Youcai looked at Ma Xiu Lan, who was so powerful when she hit him just now, and now she became a weak and pitiful housewife in front of Director He.
The tears came so suddenly, how could he not know that she was such a good actress?
Director He quickly comforted Ma Xiulan: "If you have something to say, talk it over. Any problem can be solved, but you must not commit suicide."
Ma Xiulan picked out the key points and quickly finished her story.
When the neighbors saw Director He appear at Zhao's house and the door was still open, they went over again.
After listening to Ma Xiu Lan's story, everyone blamed Zhao Youcai.
You want to have a child for free without spending a penny? That’s really wishful thinking.
Xiulan has given so much to the children, the children would not want to follow her instead of their biological mother.
Zhao Youcai saw his reputation was being ruined again and again, and he quickly defended himself:
"I wanted to contribute money too. The money I earned in the past few years was used to pay off the old man's debts. I wanted to save up the money I earned over the years and give Xiulan a surprise, but I didn't expect to lose it some time ago.
If Xiulan wants a divorce, then the child must be with me as the father, because they are all descendants of the Zhao family."
Ma Xiulan: "If you had raised them, it wouldn't be a big deal to give them to you, but you didn't spend a penny, and you got three sons and two daughters to support you in your old age. It's really a bargain that your Zhao family has taken all the credit. Aren't you afraid of doing too many immoral things and committing great sins?"
Nowadays, when a couple is getting divorced, people tend to try to reconcile them rather than separate them.
Director He was just about to speak to mediate when he heard Ma Xiulan continue.
"Director He, with all the things that happened to the Zhao family, I definitely don't want to live with him anymore. He's also concerned about someone else and doesn't want to live with me anymore. I'm asking you, since he just said he wanted to pay me but didn't have the money, can the factory let me collect his salary until he pays me back?"
Salaries are usually collected by the individual himself, or by family members on his behalf. However, if the couple is divorced, they are definitely not collected by family members.
So Director He has to make the decision today.
Otherwise, even if Zhao Youcai wrote an IOU today in order to have a child, he could deny it for the rest of his life.
Director He looked at Zhao Youcai with disdain:
"If you want to have a child, you must give money. If you don't have money, you can let Ma Xiulan collect your salary in the future."
My current job is a stable one and I can work until retirement if nothing goes wrong.
Zhao Youcai was extremely unwilling to do this. His current salary was over 60,000 yuan, and he would have to pay off the remaining 5,000 yuan over seven years.
But if he doesn't have children, who will take care of him in his old age? Besides, the second and fourth children have a lot of monthly salary, which is also a lot of money in his hands.
After much calculation, it is more cost-effective to take the second and fourth sons. The fifth son must also be taken. The fifth son has a good marriage now, and his in-laws may be able to help in the future.
The eldest son went to the countryside, and when he returned to the city we had to buy him a job and get him married, which was not cost-effective.
The third child dared to help her mother beat herself just now. She is not a good person.
"Then I only want the second, fourth, and fifth."
Ma Xiulan knew it was like this: "That's 3,820 yuan."
Zhao Xingye disagreed: "I want to follow my mother."
The neighbors said that Zhao Youcai had never taken care of children, so it would be strange if the children were willing to follow him. And look, the fourth child is unwilling to follow him.
In fact, Zhao Xingye heard his father say that he had lost all his money and that he would have to use his future salary to pay off debts, so if he followed his father, he would only suffer.
Her mother still had 2,000 yuan from Li Shulan, and Xingmin still had 1,000 yuan.
Zhao Youcai didn't expect that the fourth brother was unwilling to follow him. He pulled the fourth brother's sleeve and motioned the fourth brother to follow him into the house.
Zhao Xingye and Zhang Zhaodi followed curiously.
Zhao Youcai whispered, "Actually, I still have money, more than your mother's 2,000 yuan. I'll give it to whoever of you brothers is filial. I'm not like your mother who favors the second brother."
Zhao Xingye muttered to himself, "Mom isn't partial to my second brother anymore. He was kicked out yesterday."
Zhang Zhaodi said quietly, "But Mom is starting to favor our third sister. She's been beating and scolding us these past two days. She's definitely not going to treat us well in the future. Dad at least competes fairly, and his salary is higher than Mom's."
