Chapter 401: Remarried Couple, Sharing the Same Bed, Different Dreams 1 Where is your salary passbook?
Tang Fengyuan also wanted to give up, but there was no other way. They had been neighbors for so many years, it would be unreasonable not to help, so he could only follow Yao Zhizhi to the corridor.
She advised, "Good child, I know you feel sorry for me because I work so hard, but your Aunt Mao only has this one daughter. If she goes to jail and loses her source of income, how will she raise so many children on her own?"
Yao Zhizhi naturally understood that the children of the Mao family relied not only on Aunt Mao's pension but also on Mao Ling's salary. But in fact, Mao Ling would have to spend a lot of money because of the trouble she got into this time. It would be better for Aunt Mao to raise the children alone. At least she wouldn't have to pay any compensation.
But my mother-in-law's attitude...
Well, it’s normal for old people to be embarrassed.
But Yao Zhizhi just felt that it was not worth it. If Mao Ling was a grateful person, it would be no big deal for her to help. But what did Mao Ling do when Maodan had a conflict with Guangmei and others?
That kind of thing, just one time is enough to make you feel disheartened, so in the past two years, Yao Zhizhi doesn't want to be a good person anymore.
She thought for a moment and said, "If that doesn't work out, I can buy a shop across the alley and open a small store. I can have Aunt Mao run it and bring in some extra income."
"Forget it. If I really open a convenience store, I guess it won't be long before Maodan comes running back to eat for free." Although Tang Fengyuan is old, she is not confused.
She knew what she could do to help and what she absolutely could not do.
For example, in the case of Aunt Mao, it is okay for her to assist the two families in reconciling. At most, the Mao family will have to pay more compensation. After all, it is a family matter and can often be glossed over.
Otherwise, why haven’t so many men who beat their wives been caught?
It’s just that those men’s wives are soft-hearted and willing to forgive.
If I met someone who turned around and protected the man and scolded the police, I wouldn't know how angry I would be.
Therefore, when it comes to family affairs, the police station will try to mediate whenever possible, and try to make big things small and small things disappear. Their main goal is to smooth things over.
After all, the upper teeth touch the lower teeth, so it is normal for family members to have some bumps and bruises.
However, when it comes to opening a convenience store, we must not let anyone from the Mao family run the store.
It’s not that Tang Fengyuan doesn’t trust her old sisters, but that she doesn’t trust Maodan.
What do you think about whether to intervene or not? If you intervene, the two old sisters will turn against each other. If you ignore it, although your daughter-in-law is capable of making money, why should she contribute to a child like Maodan for nothing?
It would be better to help mediate now so that there is no financial involvement, including running the store.
Tang Fengyuan advised, "You're still young, but there's a lot to learn about running a business! If you come across a chain-smoker who buys on credit, would you give him credit or not? If you do, he'll never pay you back. If you don't, you'll be embarrassed by your neighbor's debts. So, even if you really want to open a store someday, don't open it in an alley. Then you'll be filled with messy and bad debts, which will be enough to make you angry."
Yao Zhizhi thought about it and realized that she was just overthinking things.
She sighed and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
"Your Aunt Mao prepared eggplant pancakes for me, and I've already eaten several of them," Tang Fengyuan advised with a smile. "You should go back. School is hard, and this summer vacation is a rare opportunity. Take a good rest. You can have another summer vacation next year. You won't be able to enjoy this blessing starting the year after next."
Yao Zhizhi refused: "I've been sleeping for a while. I'll wait for you and go back together."
Tang Fengyuan did not refuse, which was good. Even if she forced the couple to go back now, the two children would probably not be able to sleep well.
So he went back to the ward with Yao Zhizhi.
Aunt Mao was still kneeling on the ground, but brother Wang Dengdi refused to give in. It seemed that he would not give up until Mao Ling went to jail.
Aunt Mao could only cry and beg, which was really heartbreaking to see.
It’s pitiful to see the love of parents in the world. Some mothers are actually very good at heart. They are gentle and kind, and they can’t bear to let their children suffer even the slightest bit of grievance.
It is just that they are limited by the lack of education and insufficient cognition, and they do not know how to raise their children scientifically. They can only instinctively protect their children from wind and rain like a hen protecting her chicks.
The children they raise may become successful or they may commit murder and arson.
Of course, their success and fame are due to their contributions, but are the murders and arson really all their fault?
Their children have long grown into independent individuals and have received much more extensive and scientific modern education than they did, but these children still grew up in the wrong way.
This is their own problem, and they should at least bear the primary responsibility.
At this time, Wang Dengdi’s theory was that parents should bear full responsibility.
Yao Zhizhi naturally disagreed. She really couldn't bear to see an elder kneeling on the ground begging a younger person, so she walked over and pulled Aunt Mao up from the ground.
But Aunt Mao refused to get up. Come to think of it, it made sense. Mother-in-law had been there for a long time and must have tried to persuade her. Aunt Mao refused to get up because Wang Dengdi didn't nod.
Yao Zhizhi suddenly felt a little nauseous.
Yao Zhizhi looked at Wang Dengdi with disdain, frowning coldly: "Auntie Mao has never wronged you. Your husband's job was given by her! You are not afraid of shortening your life by letting her kneel down to you!"
Wang Dengdi wanted to argue: "It's not me who asked her to kneel!"
Yao Zhizhi sneered: "Really? She didn't bring you to the city to marry Kong Badou, so why did you want to marry him?"
That was of course because of the scandal between her and the commune director, which forced her to leave the commune and seek new horizons elsewhere.
Aunt Mao provided her with a choice. Although Kong Badou was not a good match, at least few people here knew her background, so she didn't have to be stabbed in the back or spit on.
But can she say this? No! If she says it, she will be inferior to others, and she must acknowledge Aunt Mao's kindness.
Wang Dengdi was stuck and had to lean over to help Aunt Mao get up. "Anyway, I didn't make her kneel. Now my Badou is still unconscious, and I'm very confused. Please don't argue with me. The more you argue, the more headache I get. I don't know what to do."
Okay, you are starting to show weakness, which means there is room for negotiation.
Yao Zhizhi used all her strength to help Aunt Mao up and let her sit down. She turned around and looked at Tang Fengyuan who was talking to Ning Zhengrong, and shouted, "Mom, just ask Wang Dengdi how much money she is willing to pay to settle the matter peacefully."
Tang Fengyuan had asked this question a long time ago, but this brother Wang was very cunning and refused to say anything. Tang Fengyuan could only shake his head and give him a look.
Yao Zhizhi understood: "Okay, since brother Wang is unwilling to bring it up, then I will bring it up. We can discuss whether it's more or less."
Wang Dengdi gritted his teeth and did not refuse. Instead, he turned around and walked to the opposite side of the bed and spoke to Yao Zhizhi through the unconscious Kong Badou.
Let Yao Zhizhi see how badly Kong Badou is injured.
Could Yao Zhizhi not understand this little trick? But she ignored him and said directly, "Kong Badou's monthly salary is thirty. This injury doesn't look serious. Just assume he needs to rest for three months. The three months of lost wages is ninety, plus nutrition and medical expenses, so two hundred is the maximum. But you have several children to support, so add a little more. Three hundred, please."
Only three hundred? Wang Dengdi was obviously not satisfied with the amount. He frowned and said nothing.
Aunt Mao was a sharp wit. She saw at a glance that this figure was far from what Wang Dengdi had expected, and she quickly added, "Three hundred is a lot, but I didn't say anything when Xiao Wang married Badou. Now Maodan has gone to live with Xiao Wang, so he'll have to take care of her on a daily basis. How about this? I still have some pension, so I'll add another two hundred."
That’s five hundred! Wang Dengdi still thought it was too little. Although her expression relaxed a little, she still didn’t give in.
Yao Zhizhi couldn't help but sneer: "Brother Wang, if I were you, I would definitely quit while I'm ahead. Otherwise, if Mao Ling really goes to jail, the three children in the alley will have to be raised by Kong Badou. Then you will enjoy a good life!"
This enjoyment naturally needs to be put in quotation marks.
Wang Dengdi is a smart person and knows that Yao Zhizhi is making fun of her.
But she couldn't just nod like that, otherwise, she would have to accept whatever the other party said, and wouldn't that make her lose face?
So she thought about it and made a six with her hand.
Aunt Mao nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, six hundred, I'll get it together for you tomorrow!"
Wang Dengdi was satisfied: "Okay, you can do it yourself."
"No, I have to come." Tang Fengyuan was very pleased to see her daughter-in-law come forward and beat Wang Dengdi. She knew that her daughter-in-law didn't want to get involved, and now she came forward to act as the bad guy purely to let her, an old woman, go back to bed early.
Since this is the case, she has to do something, at least she can't let this matter leave any hidden dangers.
Brother Wang Dengdi originally wanted to refuse so that he could still deny the debt later and maybe even get more. After all, Aunt Mao was really willing to spend money for her daughter.
But now...
Forget it, this Yao guy looks scary, his eyes are sharp and it hurts her eyes.
She had no choice but to find an excuse to clear herself: "Well, I didn't want to delay Director Tang from working. In this case, it's up to you."
Tang Fengyuan laughed in his heart. This female comrade, tsk, it seems that this person and Maodan will have trouble in the future.
A shrewd stepmother and a stepson who is unwilling to suffer any loss, just thinking about it makes the show endless.
Fortunately, they don’t live in this alley, otherwise Tang Fengyuan would be asked to deal with conflicts every day, which would be very annoying.
After the matter was resolved, the old couple Tang Fengyuan followed the young couple Yao Zhizhi back home, and took Aunt Mao with them.
A few days later, Mao Ling came out as expected.
The conflict between her and Kong Badou was a civil dispute, so she was only administratively detained and given a warning letter, but that was the end of it.
Mao Ling was angry and anxious when she learned that the price she paid for her release was that her old mother had to beg for help from everyone she knew, to collect 600 yuan in compensation.
After returning to Peng Dajun's place, he opened the wardrobe and looked for the passbook.
When the two were in a good relationship, Peng Dajun had already given her his salary passbook. Unexpectedly, she was detained for a few days and couldn't find it when she came back.
He had no choice but to slam the closet door and angrily went to the kitchen to ask Peng Dajun: "Where's your salary passbook? Give it to me. I'll go get the money tomorrow."
Peng Dajun had already made up his mind to divorce, so he instigated Mao Ling to hit someone.
He had thought that if Mao Ling went to jail, he could successfully get rid of her, but he didn't expect that Wang Dengdi would actually do it for 600 yuan...
Alas, there was no other way, so he had to take advantage of the fact that Mao Ling was not back and deliberately created a burglary scene at home and reported to the police that his house had been robbed.
Sure enough, Mao Ling asked him for money as soon as she came back, and he was not a sucker.
The child is not his own, and it was Mao Ling who beat people up, so he doesn't want to spend money.
He then said bitterly, "What else can I say! That day I accompanied you to Ba Tiao Hutong, and you beat someone up. I was also called to the police station to give a statement, and when I got home, the lock was broken into. You see, I've been so poor these days that I've had to borrow noodles from neighbors and eat plain noodles. There's nothing I can do. My salary doesn't come until the end of the month."
