Qi Zhifang, who was being held down in the office, was still yelling, "What are you doing? What did I do? Why are you treating me like this? Let me go!"
Erzhuzi was too lazy to talk. A burly woman took out some face cream. Erzhuzi said coldly, "What's wrong? You're ignoring what I said, aren't you? This is a wellhead, do you think it's a brothel? You're a real hooligan, you've been causing trouble all the way from Beijing to the Northeast. You're really shameless. Go back and overturn the cart!"
With a single sentence, Erzhuzi removed the coal recovery worker from his job and sent him back to overhauling heavy machinery.
Qi Zhifang's eyes welled with tears of anger, and she cursed inwardly at a bunch of ignorant people who could see such a small thing. She had a bellyful of things to say to Xiao Hu about Erzhuzi, but she never saw Xiao Hu again; of course, without Erzhuzi's intervention, they wouldn't have been able to see him at all.
As for Qi's mother, after Wang Fang left, the Qi family was in a slump. Qi Zhijun also reflected on whether he had fed his mother too much, making her always want to cause trouble when she was full. But he couldn't really ignore his elderly mother.
As usual, Qi Zhijun came over to deliver his salary that day. His mother took the money Qi Zhijun handed her, sighed, and said, "I know you're resenting me in your heart because of your patriotism. Zhijun, believe me, I'm really doing all this for your own good!"
Qi Zhijun sat opposite his mother, looking at this mother who was both familiar and unfamiliar to him, and couldn't help but ask, "Mom, who are you doing this for?"
Qi's mother was taken aback by the question. Her mouth opened slightly, but the words caught in her throat. Qi Zhijun chuckled lightly, "There's an old saying: the elderly are like scales, and whoever they lean towards is poorer. Mom! Haven't you woken up yet? Life is earned through your own efforts, not through scheming against others. You've schemed and plotted, and now you've lost our big house, Fangzi is in a labor camp, and I'm a street sweeper. And you still don't think about taking a break?"
Qi's mother looked at Qi Zhijun incredulously and said, "Are you blaming me?"
Qi Zhijun laughed and said, "What does it matter if it's strange or not? This is how our lives are. The Qi family has been wiped out by your schemes, which can be considered the final retribution. But don't worry, it's me who will die without a son to see me off, not you!"
Seeing the disbelief on Qi's mother's face, he laughed, unconcerned about looking foolish, and said, "Wei Shuqing is a virgin who has wholeheartedly lived with me, had children, and earned money to support the family. You've made things difficult for her and looked down on her in every way, even her children aren't to your liking. I listened to you and found someone else. She was gang-raped before, which damaged her body and made her unable to have children. Consider it my retribution. Let's just live like this! I also think having children isn't necessarily a good thing. With our family's values, we're either raising a good-for-nothing or someone who engages in promiscuous relationships. Let's not cause any more trouble for the country!"
Qi's mother was still reeling from the news that Xiao Cui had been gang-raped and was unable to have children. She didn't hear the rest of what was said and it took her a while to react. "What did you say? You married a woman like that..."
Qi Zhijun smiled indifferently and said, "What? At least she wasn't doing it willingly. Isn't that much better than those shameless ones?"
Actually, Xiao Cui only recently learned by chance that he couldn't have children. He was still unwilling to accept it and thought about separating. While struggling with his inner conflict, he heard about Qi's mother instigating Wang Fang to scheme against Aiguo. He suddenly lost his fighting spirit and decided to just live like this. Perhaps being childless in his old age is the best punishment for him.
Qi's mother stood up, trembling, and pointed at Qi Zhijun, choking back tears, saying, "You, you... Don't be unfilial and wear the skin of a human being in vain. You will be struck by lightning!"
Qi Zhijun just looked at Qi's mother, suddenly found it very funny, and said, "Then let it strike! Anyway, I've realized that I've left the greatest evil in my life to Shuqing and Aiguo. I'd be happy to be struck by lightning for their sake!"
The thought of not having a grandson made Qi's mother furious, and she roared, "Divorce her! Divorce her! Our family can't keep such a filthy woman!"
Qi Zhijun laughed out loud, "Can two kinds of people really sleep in the same bed? It's like a dung beetle meeting a maggot, they're birds of a feather! Nobody should look down on anyone else! How are we any better than her? By the way, you shouldn't bother her with this, lest you get upset and hurt yourself!"
Qi's mother roared, "Get out! Get out of here! I don't have a son like you!"
After Qi Zhijun left, she pounded her chest. No, this can't be…
