Finally, after a fierce struggle, Chen's father paid Zhao Xingjia 600 yuan in compensation.
Old Lady Wang took away all the things that Zhao Xingjia bought for the Chen family. She also took away Boss Chen’s coat and even the kettle that he had used for several years.
Several people in the Zhao family had their hands full of things.
The Zhao family is short of everything now.
The daily necessities obtained from Zhao Youfu could only provide temporary relief.
The neighbors looked at all these things and thought to themselves that they couldn't marry into the Chen family.
It was already bright outside and time to go to work was almost up. Zhao Xingjia thought about going back quickly to give Ma Xiu Lan the 300 yuan to prevent her from causing trouble in his factory.
Zhao Youcai called out to Zhao Xingjia.
"Second brother, since you have money now, give me the 200 yuan I promised you. You have to take responsibility for your own mistakes. Otherwise, you won't learn your lesson and become the most outstanding child in the Zhao family."
On the one hand, Zhao Xingjia felt that he now had some money, and on the other hand, he wanted to leave a good impression in front of Zhao Youcai, so he gave Zhao Youcai 200 yuan.
He approached Zhao Xingye with a gloomy face and said, "Dad took 200 yuan, so you have to make up for the 50 yuan."
Zhao Xingye smiled and said, "I've gone out to inquire about it. You've put the blame on grandma, saying that she forced you to do it.
If you change your mind and include me, aren't you afraid that no one will believe what you said before? You should also pay my 50 yuan, otherwise I will tell everyone that it was your idea and had nothing to do with grandma. "
"you……"
Zhao Xingjia clenched his fists, then took a deep breath. The fourth brother was the most cunning.
I have to pay for it myself. I have 600 yuan now. After giving 10 yuan each to grandma, dad and the fourth child as hard work compensation, I still have 570 yuan, which is enough.
After finishing all this, Zhao Xingjia saw that it was getting late, so he hurried to the paper mill where he worked. He was weak, so Ma Xiulan bought him a job as a warehouse manager.
By the time Zhao Xingjia jogged to the factory gate, his lungs were aching from gasping for breath, but he was still late. At this moment, he missed the days when he rode a bicycle to work.
But my mother took the bicycle back.
Mom is so cruel.
He looked around the gate and didn't see Ma Xiu Lan. The tension in his heart eased a little, and he said that his mother knew that he was about to lose the child, so it was impossible for her to come to the factory without caring about him and cause trouble for him.
As he walked in, he just heard the voice of the security guard, Uncle Ge.
"This Zhao Xingjia is such a piece of shit."
Turning his head, he saw that in the guard room, his mother and Uncle Ge were already chatting animatedly, and there were several people from the security department sitting around them.
Zhao Xingjia coughed and coughed as if he was in pain. On the one hand, he was trying to get sympathy from Ma Xiulan, and on the other hand, he was reminding everyone of his arrival.
Uncle Ge turned his head and took a look. He did not feel embarrassed as if he had been caught talking bad about someone behind his back. His son-in-law was the factory director. Besides, he did not say anything. He was just telling the truth.
Zhao Xingjia didn’t know what Ma Xiulan had talked about with Mr. Ge before, but it was definitely not good.
Otherwise, Uncle Ge wouldn't have said that about himself. He couldn't work now and couldn't make any mistakes. He fell to his knees with a plop:
"Mom, it was grandma who forced me to do what I did before. I did it so that you wouldn't be tormented by grandma. I forced grandma to take out the money overnight. Here is 300 yuan, count it for you."
Ma Xiu Lan knew that the second son was very cunning, so she came early and told everyone about her trip to the countryside to look for her son and how she found out that her eldest son had not received the package and had been sending money home but had not received it herself. She also showed everyone the letters from Zhao Xingjia about selling blood to save his mother.
Now that Lao Er has knelt, he has directly put the blame on Old Lady Wang. She can't do anything to him, but at least it has made people in the factory suspicious of Lao Er's character.
His tone was full of suspicion: "If your grandma did this, the packages I sent to your eldest brother would definitely be given to your uncle instead of appearing on your eldest brother-in-law. Do you dare to let your grandma come and tell this to your face?"
Uncle Ge followed up with another question: "Yes, between her own youngest son and her grandson's wife, who is closer to her? How could your grandmother not have made some calculations?"
Zhao Xingjia looked guilty and said, "My grandmother was afraid that I would tell my mother about the package, so she gave it to me to deal with.
I originally wanted to send it to my eldest brother, but I didn't expect my prodigal wife to send it back to her parents' home without telling me. I kept putting up with it because she gave birth to a son. Mom, it's all my fault. I didn't discipline my wife well.
"Of course I dare to ask my grandma to come over, but even if she comes, she won't admit it. She can even pretend to be paralyzed to deceive my mom, so lying to my mom is normal."
When he gets home, he will definitely ask his grandmother to admit the matter, even if he has to pay her some money.
My colleagues in the security department have started gossiping.
"Isn't his wife the woman who accused my sister-in-law of stealing a while ago and apologized publicly at the supply and marketing cooperative?"
"No wonder a woman like this would do something like taking the package from her husband's family to her own family. She's so greedy."
"Xiao Zhao, your family is unlucky. Your grandmother is powerful, and your daughter-in-law is also powerful."
Zhao Xingjia felt helpless and blamed himself. "Grandma, I can't do anything about it, but I've already taught my wife a lesson. It's just that her pregnancy is unstable now, otherwise I would definitely ask her to apologize to my mother in person."
Ma Xiulan coldly questioned: "I don't care how you flatter me, it's a fact that my eldest son almost couldn't make it in the countryside. If I hadn't gone there in time, he wouldn't have survived.
If something happens to your eldest brother, you can just say your grandmother didn't allow it and your wife stole it, and that has nothing to do with you?"
"Every time I send a package, you rush to help me send it. You can completely not help me and let me send it myself. Do your grandmother and your wife dare to put their hands in front of me?"
Uncle Ge slapped his thigh suddenly and said, "Yes, you are helping the evildoers. You pretend to be ignorant even though you know the truth."
Seeing that Uncle Ge was not fooled by Zhao Xingjia, Ma Xiu Lan understood. With Uncle Ge's righteous nature, he would definitely let his son-in-law know.
Zhao Xingjia quickly defended himself: "Mom, I was young before and didn't dare to resist grandma, and I couldn't control my wife. So, I will return the things in the package to you."
He absolutely could not let Uncle Ge catch him by the tail. Whenever two dogs fighting passed by, this old man would go over to seek justice. He also relied on the fact that he was the father-in-law of the factory director, so almost everyone in the factory respected him.
He had told his mother about this matter, so he knew that his mother did it on purpose.
"Are you still pretending? I'm so proud of you. You took the things I gave to your eldest brother and secretly gave them to your Yue family. You did such a wicked thing. Shouldn't you give it back to me?"
Uncle Ge looked at Zhao Xingjia with displeasure on his face and decided to go talk to his son-in-law later.
Zhao Xingjia can't even stick to the most basic principles of being a human being. How can such an important position as the warehouse be entrusted to such a person?
