Chapter 109: Can't Let the Chicken Hatch
"I have a cut on my body, and I want to pay back the surgery fee."
He didn't dare mention Jiang Wanwan for fear of angering Zhao Da Jiao.
Zhao Da Jiao said with a spit, "Why would you want to have surgery on your shabby body? How much is your body worth? It is important for a person to know himself, don't you understand?"
"Your lousy father and lousy mother are useless. If you think one hundred and fifty is too much, then get out!"
"Of course, even if the money is rolled away, it won't be returned to you."
Zhao Fengnian didn't expect to hear these words. Veins popped out on his hand as he held the phone, and his knuckles turned white from the force he exerted.
He was silent for a while and hung up the phone silently.
Zhao Fengnian walked back in a daze, but was stopped by Jiang Wanwan halfway.
At this time, Jiang Wanwan had just returned from the farm cafeteria after lunch.
"Zhao Fengnian, why did you come out?"
Zhao Fengnian was very thin, with not much flesh on his body. He wore a blue short-sleeved shirt. The clothes were loose due to washing and had two torn edges at the collar. His face looked grayish and pale due to illness.
He lowered his head and smiled bitterly.
"I just... called home."
Jiang Wanwan was holding a lunch box in her hand: "I made a bowl of rice porridge and a salted duck egg. You can eat it when you go back and rest. Don't be busy these few days. Your health is more important."
"I have already told Director Xu about your situation. She told you to have a good rest and will give you this month's wages."
Zhao Fengnian's dry heart seemed to be moistened by the water.
"Um."
"...Thank you, Comrade Jiang."
"You're welcome." Jiang Wanwan didn't think there was anything wrong and didn't ask for the money back.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Da Jiao still felt unsatisfied, so he scooped a bucket of water and gulped it down.
She drank so fast that water flowed out of her mouth.
She wiped her mouth with her sleeve.
Hong Meiling happened to come back to get something and looked at her with disdain: "Who did you quarrel with again?"
Zhao Da Jiao complained: "Zhao Fengnian, the poor bastard actually came to me to borrow money, saying that he had surgery. What does his surgery have to do with me?"
"He has a poor and mean air. I'm afraid he'll bring his poor and mean air to me."
Hong Meiling's temples were throbbing.
"So you scolded him?"
Zhao Da Jiao nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, what's wrong with scolding him?"
Hong Meiling was so angry that she almost died: "Are you a fool?"
"Jiang Wanwan's chicks are about to hatch. Zhao Fengnian is the only one on the farm who can help us. If you scold him at this critical moment and offend him, who else can I use?"
No one expected that Jiang Wanwan could actually make chicks hatch from eggs without a hen.
Zhao Da Jiao hadn't expected this. She scolded Zhao Fengnian as if he were her grandson, and just sprayed him out without thinking.
“Aiya!”
But she was very stubborn: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had this idea? Now you blame me and think I'm wrong?"
Hong Meiling was almost angered to death by Zhao Dajiao.
"I have already said this a long time ago. Even if I hadn't said it, don't you know how to win people's hearts?"
Seeing that she was angry, Zhao Da Jiao didn't dare to talk back.
Since her son is usually not at home, she has to rely on her daughter.
Zhao Da Jiao smiled and said, "Don't be angry. I'll go and apologize to him right now. Is that not okay?"
While there was still room for things to turn around, Hong Meiling sighed and decided to just bear with it for the time being.
"Go and give him five eggs and make sure he's well behaved."
Zhao Da Jiao immediately showed a painful expression: "Is he worthy of it?"
Hong Meiling gritted her teeth: "Is he not worthy of you?"
"You are incompetent at everything, and you have nothing left after eating. I can't count on you for anything. What do you deserve?"
"Zhao Fengnian's family are all fools. If you give them a little charity, they will fight for you. What else can you be reluctant to give up?"
Zhao Da Jiao was speechless: "Okay, okay, I'll go there early tomorrow morning."
Hong Meiling's tone left no room for doubt: "Let's go today!"
It will be too late to go to the party tomorrow. It only takes a moment to lose people's hearts. Any delay will increase the damage and make it irreparable.
Zhao Da Jiao sighed and went to get the eggs.
Before leaving, Hong Meiling reminded her: "You must make sure Zhao Fengnian does everything he can to prevent those chickens from ever hatching."
“After the matter is done, I will write a letter of accusation to report that Shen Xingjiang’s wife wasted resources and had a bad style. The higher-ups will definitely report and criticize Jiang Wanwan.”
Zhao Da Jiao's eyes lit up and he quickly went to the farm.
It takes only a few minutes by car, but forty to fifty minutes on foot.
On the way, Zhao Da Jiao secretly hid four eggs and took one to see Zhao Fengnian.
Zhao Fengnian had white rice porridge and salted duck eggs for lunch. After eating, he was not idle and went to Uncle Zhu's house to take care of the eggs.
He saw that the temperature was a bit high, so he lifted the quilt to let the heat out. When the temperature dropped to a normal level, he covered the quilt back on.
The whole process was done very carefully, as cautiously as if treating priceless night pearls that would shatter if they fell to the ground.
He had just covered himself with the quilt when Zhao Da Jiao came.
Zhao Da Jiao sat down on the kang and looked at him with concern.
"Fengnian, my aunt got a little impulsive on the phone, so I came here specially to apologize to you."
"Where did you get the knife? Does it hurt?"
Zhao Da Jiao patted her big fat chest and said, "You know me. I have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. You are the one I love the most."
She took an egg out of her pocket and put it on the kang.
"Look, your aunt has come all the way to bring you eggs."
"You don't know, Meiling was so worried when she heard you were sick. If she wasn't busy, she would come to see you."
That sounds nice, but even if it was just an egg, Zhao Da Jiao would feel so painful that the corners of his mouth would twitch.
Zhao Feng laughed sneerfully.
When he was undergoing surgery, his aunt first scolded him and then gave him an egg.
In the past, he thought his aunt was nice.
But he had just had a bowl of sweet rice porridge and a pickled, golden and oily salted duck egg.
If you give him four or five, he won't say anything.
Can she even come up with one?
...Or do you want to insult him with eggs?
Zhao Da Jiao pretended for a while, then immediately revealed his true colors: "Hurry up and think of a way to deal with the chicks in these rooms. Don't let these eggs hatch!"
Zhao Fengnian: He just knew it.
Under normal circumstances, he would have been loyal to the emperor long ago.
Seeing his dazed and unresponsive look, Zhao Da Jiao wanted to slap him in the face, but because this matter required his help, he endured it.
"A good year..."
"You are my nephew. We have the same blood and we both have the last name Zhao. Only when your aunt is well can you be well, right?"
"You owe money, so you have to pay it back. Only if your sister and brother stay here can you guarantee a stable job."
"Jiang Wanwan is not a good person. She drove me away as soon as she came in. After my aunt left, she kept thinking about you. We are a family. Only when we are well can you be well."
