Chapter 91: Evil Mother-in-law (Three Updates) She fell to the ground and her body instantly twisted...
When Yao Zhizhi came back, it was already half past ten in the evening.
Tang Fengyuan was worried about her walking alone at night, so he didn't stop until he saw her off to the gate of the courtyard.
Yao Zhizhi was worried that her mother-in-law would get hurt while trying to break up the fight, so she insisted on dragging the person in for a check-up.
Qi Changxiao hadn't slept yet. Seeing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law turning up each other's sleeves to check each other's wounds under the light in the main room, he felt a wave of warmth in his heart and was very moved.
He turned around and went back into the house to get a medical kit. No matter if anyone was injured or not, he had to prepare it first.
Yao Zhizhi looked up at him and said, "Little Moon hasn't woken up yet, right?"
"After he woke up, I fed him milk powder." Qi Changxiao was very careful and did it himself.
As for Little Star, she was at her uncle's place. After dinner, she learned some words and played some games with her uncle, and then went to bed.
Before going to bed, he did not forget to run over to kiss his sister and father, and even specifically told his father to ask his mother to come back and go to bed early.
Yao Zhizhi felt relieved. This man was so nice. It would be difficult to take care of such a young child without his mother, but he could take good care of the child.
He is a good family man.
After checking, she found that her mother-in-law's arm was swollen from being pinched, and she couldn't help but mutter, "Was it Mrs. Wu who pinched it?"
"Well, she twisted me when she bumped into me. That was pretty mean." Tang Fengyuan is a policeman, so it's not easy for him to fight back. He often gets hit a few times when he tries to stop a fight, so he's used to it.
She didn't care, but Yao Zhizhi was heartbroken. Uncle Ning came to pick up her mother-in-law, so Yao Zhizhi took a bottle of medicinal wine and told Uncle Ning to wait until her mother-in-law took a bath before wiping her.
After closing the door, Yao Zhizhi frowned and pondered how to retaliate quietly.
After taking a shower and returning to bed, Yao Zhizhi leaned against the headboard, thinking about countermeasures.
Since she didn't sleep, Qi Changxiao didn't sleep either. He let her lean on his arms and think slowly, which would make her more comfortable.
He was a little curious: "Is the matter resolved?"
"I asked them to split up, but none of them are satisfied with the current plan. We'll talk about it tomorrow." Yao Zhizhi found it quite ironic. "You know what? Old Lady Wang knew her second son had a high salary and was very capable, so when it came time to split up the family business, she started complaining and boasting about how she'd treated him so well over the years, even better than her own son. She's just trying to blackmail him for more money. She really takes him for a fool."
"People like this will eventually cause your family to be destroyed. Once you buy the camera, just forget about them." Qi Changxiao didn't know how dangerous tonight would be, but he could vaguely hear the shouting over there and knew that things would definitely not be simple.
So I asked a few questions.
Yao Zhizhi smiled and took out the simple slingshot from the system space: "I used this to prevent two tragedies."
"You can also play slingshot?" Qi Changxiao was a little surprised. He really didn't know how many secrets his wife was hiding.
But he said in the publishing house's carport that he would not force her to answer.
I had to suppress my curiosity and limit the topic to slingshots. After all, it was she who brought it up.
Yao Zhizhi smiled and put the slingshot in his hand: "Do you want to try it? I'll teach you?"
"Okay, let's go out and relax during the break." Qi Changxiao was not very good at this, but he had seen his classmates play it before. Zhang Wang loved to shoot birds with a slingshot. He had told Zhang Wang several times that he could not shoot sparrows because they were beneficial birds.
Later, Zhang Wang changed his target and focused on killing insects.
The crickets and cicadas in summer, and the grasshoppers and katydids in autumn are all Zhang Wang’s favorites.
Qi Changxiao was very sick at that time and had no energy to play this. Every time Zhang Wang got the trophies, he would run over excitedly to show them off to him.
Later, Zhang Wang stopped coming. His father found a lover, which made the family in chaos. Zhang Wang gradually became silent and taciturn.
Fortunately, Hu Jia and Zhang Hongliang were both shot. I don’t know how Zhang Wang is doing recently.
Qi Changxiao plans to take some time to visit his old classmate and ask Zhang Wang, the expert, about the quality of the slingshot made by his wife.
He put away the slingshot and asked Yao Zhizhi, "The Wu family doesn't hold a grudge against you, right?"
"No, they just can't control their bad tempers, not that they can't tell right from wrong. I talked them into it later, and they were pretty cooperative." Yao Zhizhi was a little worried. "But if this continues, it will be really difficult for Mom. She can't do anything, but she has to solve the problem. If something like this happens again someday, and they're short-handed, something bad will definitely happen."
Qi Changxiao was helpless: "Let Mom report this to the higher authorities and ask them to recruit more people. Otherwise, there is no better way."
This is the only way. I heard that a young policeman in the north city lost his temper and resorted to violence. The next day, he was reported to the Municipal Public Security Bureau and was fired directly.
It's not easy to be a policeman. Sometimes you have to suffer some losses, like the bruises on my mother-in-law's body, and there is no way to find anyone to settle the score.
After all, it was a mess at that time, and few people could see what was going on, so it was useless to say anything.
Maybe someone will even call you pretentious - being a police officer, how can you not get hurt and bleed?
It's so infuriating.
The next day, Qi Changxiao borrowed Ning Zhengrong's shoulder bag during lunch break and went to Zhang Wang's house.
Zhang Wang hasn't been to work recently because his father committed a serious crime and he was implicated and was politely persuaded to resign by his leader.
In the past six months, he has been completely discouraged and can only stay at home and do odd jobs with his mother in nearby factories.
So when Qi Changxiao knocked on the door and came in, what he saw seemed to be a gloomy old man.
A bold idea popped up in Qi Changxiao's mind, an idea that could help his mother.
But there is no rush, let’s first see if Zhang Wang still has the fighting spirit.
He took out the slingshot and showed it to Zhang Wang.
Zhang Wang's gray eyes suddenly lit up. He snatched the slingshot and excitedly picked up a stone. He tested the strength and said, "Where did you get it? It's well made. It's small and delicate, but it's quite powerful."
Qi Changxiao didn't say anything, but only asked: "Can you give me your evaluation? Is the person who made this a master of slingshot?"
"Of course!" Zhang Wang was overjoyed. "Is this for me?"
"That won't work. I have to ask the owner of the slingshot." Qi Changxiao kept it a secret.
Zhang Wang was so anxious that he was scratching his head. “Go and ask, go quickly.”
Qi Changxiao breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay. This kid still had fighting spirit, even if it was just for the slingshot.
He took the slingshot back and said, "Promise me first. Next time my mom is asked to mediate a dispute, you'll find a way to muddy the waters. As long as she doesn't get hurt, I'll pay you. As for this slingshot, I can't guarantee it, but I can ask her to make a new one for you. Think about it."
"Really!" Zhang Wang was very happy. "Okay then. The salary doesn't matter. Just ask that person to make me an identical slingshot. It's so small and exquisite that it can be easily put in your pocket."
"Okay, do you need money now? I'll give you a little advance first." Qi Changxiao is quite capable. Since he wants people to help him, he has to give them some benefits first.
Zhang Wang smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry. I'm a bachelor and don't have much to spend. My mom saved all my previous salary for me, so I can still make it for a while."
"Okay, tell me if you run out of money, don't be polite." Qi Changxiao was relieved and hurried back to see if there would be any more trouble at the woolen mill.
This time it was much quieter. Everyone knew that Yao Zhizhi was very capable. She could prevent the situation from getting worse from such a long distance with just a small slingshot.
So today, the workers in the woolen mill dormitory all paid the greatest respect to Yao Zhizhi.
Especially Xiao Cui, whose pants had been stolen before, saw Yao Zhizhi as if she had seen a relative. She rushed over to serve her tea and water, and was extremely attentive.
Yao Yingying and Cao Guangyuan watched in the corner of the second floor for a while, but there was nothing to say, so they had to go back into the house.
"What a pity, she is not your biological sister." Cao Guangyuan is a decent man and rarely expresses such sentiments.
Yao Yingying looked at the shoes in her hands and sighed, "It's my fault. I tried to plead for my parents and angered them. Taozi was the only one who took a clear stand and expressed her support for the legal decision immediately. I've been too embarrassed to talk to her all these years, so let's not talk about it anymore."
"Oh." Cao Guangyuan was not the kind of person who wanted to climb up the social ladder, but Director Zhang had been finding fault with him recently. He asked someone and found out that it was Yao Zhizhi who sent the man's wife to jail.
He wanted Yao Yingying to think of a way and beg for mercy, at least to let Yao Zhizhi tell Director Zhang that they were about to have their second child. If Director Zhang continued to make things difficult for him, he might lose his job.
After all, he also has a temper. If he can't control himself one day...
After much thought, he finally said, "It's not a good idea for Director Zhang to always take her anger out on me. Why don't you just bring some eggs and brown sugar and ask to see the kids? Can she really kick you out?"
Yao Yingying is self-aware: "It's better to ask my second sister for help than to ask her. At least my second sister can really talk to her. I can't do that. She will never talk to me in her life."
"Then why don't you go talk to your second sister?" Cao Guangyuan was also forced to do so. He had to support his family.
Unlike his younger brother, he has not had a child for so many years. Even if he raises a child like Yao Jingjing, it would be more than enough for him.
As for the more than 2,000 yuan from selling the house, his mother warned him not to touch it before she went in.
He could only find a way to keep his job.
Yao Yingying was also helpless: "Okay, I'll go talk to my second sister tomorrow."
*
In the yard, Yao Zhizhi picked up the family division plan prepared by Wu Da and found it funny. He actually wanted Wu Er to pay the most. What kind of beautiful dream was he dreaming of?
She tore up the agreement directly: "Since you don't want to live a good life, then forget it. My time is precious and I don't have time to accompany you to intrigue."
After saying that, she stood up and went back. Xiao Cui, who was standing beside her, immediately scolded everyone in the Wu family: "What are you thinking? Why should the second brother's family pay the most? Just because he is the only one among you six siblings who is not Old Lady Wang's biological child? You really think your neighbors are fools, don't you? How dare you bring out this kind of division agreement!"
Others also pointed and talked.
"That's right, Wu Da, you and your third child are not even Wu Da's children. It's true that your mother raised the second child, but didn't Wu Da raise you two as burdens?"
"That's right, you can't go so far. Everyone knows that the five of you ganging up on the second-in-command is so inhumane."
"Second brother, listen to your aunt. If things really don't work out, you two should move in with your father-in-law for a while and see what the five of them can do!"
Xiao Jiang, who had been silent the whole time, came up with a brilliant idea: "Well, since your father doesn't love you anyway, why don't you just go to the Ding family and be a live-in son-in-law? It just so happens that your brother-in-law and their daughter are inseparable, so just treat it as a son swap between the two families."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
I couldn't help but look at this gentle female comrade.
Someone recognized him and said, "Isn't this Xiao Jiang? Your home is quite far away, so why did you come to watch the fun?"
"Aunt, I have an aunt who lives nearby. I was delivering rice dumplings to her family, so I stopped by to visit." Xiao Jiang smiled and pushed his glasses. "I really think it would be best if the two families swapped places. After all, the Wu sisters can't bear to part with the Ding family's son."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
That's right. After making such a joke, the two sisters didn't even think about what to do in the future. They just acted like troublemakers. How stupid.
Right now, everyone says that they are both idiots.
As for Xiao Ding's younger brother, he is naturally not a good person either, so let's just scold him together.
This big family has been providing everyone with a month's worth of gossip every day.
In the end, everyone dispersed after talking a lot, and they all advised the Wu family to think about it carefully. Xiao Jiang's proposal was very good and would kill two birds with one stone.
When she went to work in the afternoon, Yao Zhizhi discovered that the proofreading team had been replaced.
Wu Wei left and was replaced by Xiao Zhao, who competed with Caibao for the fish.
Yao Zhizhi had seen it before, and when their eyes met, Xiao Zhao's small eyes turned into lines of smile.
Yao Zhizhi didn't say anything. Personnel appointments and dismissals were not her responsibility.
Besides, she had no relationship with Wu Wei, so there was nothing for her to care about after he left.
Back in the office, she compiled the manuscripts for the next issue of the magazine.
Xiao Song, the typesetter, came to her and said, "Director Yao, the publishing house in Weicheng has sent your royalties. They've also published corrections in both the newspaper and the magazine, changing the author's name to yours."
Yao Zhizhi took the remittance slip and sample magazine, and felt relieved.
Money is one thing, but the main thing is that your hard work cannot be wasted on others.
After saying thank you, she continued to work with her head down.
Xiao Song didn't leave, but seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Yao Zhizhi had a good impression of Xiao Song and Xiao Jiang because they took the initiative to testify, so she stood up, closed the door, and waited patiently for her to think it through.
After a long while, Xiao Song asked, "Don't you think Wu Wei's departure was a bit abrupt?"
"I'm not familiar with him. If you know anything, you can tell me and we can analyze it together." Yao Zhizhi put down the pen. It was abrupt or not. Only people who were familiar with him would have this feeling.
Xiao Song is an old employee and must be more familiar with Wu Wei than she is.
Xiao Song sat down and whispered, "His mother is in poor health and needs money right now. It's a bit unusual for him to resign at this time. How about I go to his house and take a look?"
"What disease did his mother have?" Yao Zhizhi really didn't know.
She was too busy to ask about her colleagues' family situations.
Xiao Song wrote three words and Yao Zhizhi was stunned.
Esophageal cancer? That would probably be quite expensive.
The publishing house also publishes some medical books, and Yao Zhizhi took a look at them.
In short, this is one of the famous poor cancers, the other one being stomach cancer.
This is closely related to eating habits - the worse the conditions, the less healthy and diverse the food, the less able to supplement vitamins and minerals, and instead people tend to prefer pickled, smoked, and high-salt foods.
These foods often contain large amounts of nitrite, a carcinogen.
If you do not pay attention to hygiene, you will be infected with Helicobacter pylori, which may cause chronic gastritis, gastric ulcers, and then develop into gastric cancer.
Moreover, medical resources in poor areas are relatively scarce, and people’s awareness of regular screening and physical examinations is significantly insufficient. By the time the disease is discovered, it is often already in the late stage.
If Wu Wei's mother really had such a disease, he would never resign at this critical juncture.
Yao Zhizhi couldn't help but thank Xiao Song for the reminder: "Then when you go, bring some fruit t-shirts in the name of the editorial department. The cost will be directly paid out of the event funds."
This is the system established by the first editor-in-chief. The editorial department will keep one hundred yuan from the revenue every month as activity funds.
In this way, if any staff member has a headache or fever, the editorial department can buy something to take a look at.
Xiao Song understood that this was a legitimate way to go, so he arranged to go after work.
When Yao Zhizhi returned to the alley, Aunt Mao stopped her.
Yao Zhizhi asked Qi Changxiao to go back first and asked patiently, "Aunt Mao, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Aunt Mao looked depressed: "Don't you know? After you left at noon today, a female comrade suggested that the second son of the Wu family go to the Ding family to be a son-in-law, and that the bastard of the Ding family go to the Wu family to be a son-in-law. This idea is good, but I always feel that something bad will happen!"
Yao Zhizhi didn't know it was Xiao Jiang's idea yet, so she asked curiously, "Who is that female comrade?"
Aunt Mao was helpless. She usually didn't go to the publishing house because it was too far away. She could only shake her head and said, "I don't know. I just know that someone calls her Xiao Jiang. Xiao Yao, don't blame me for being nosy. I have a feeling that Old Lady Wang won't let this go. Think about it, the second son has such a high salary, while Xiao Ding's brother is a lazy bum. If these two families swap sons, it's obvious that the Wu family will suffer. Old Lady Wang will definitely not agree. She might even make trouble tonight."
Yao Zhizhi understood her concerns, but she was busy today. The next issue of the magazine was about to be published, so she didn't have time to go to the woolen mill to check it out. She had to make another appointment: "Auntie Mao, I need to catch up on a deadline these two days. Can we go and take a look together the day after tomorrow?"
Aunt Mao was very grateful to her. If it weren't for her, Mao Ling and Kong Badou would have really jumped into the river. So she comforted her, "Okay, go back to your work. If you can't, I'll keep an eye on it."
Aunt Mao kept her word and went there after dinner.
She persuaded this and that, both to lighten the burden on her old sisters and to save Yao Zhizhi some trouble.
I kept persuading him until nine o'clock in the evening before he went home to sleep.
The next morning, Aunt Mao sent her two children to school, and the two younger ones stayed at home with the neighbors helping to look after them.
After sending the child to school, she went to buy vegetables. When she passed by the woolen mill, she peeked in.
This is a big deal, something terrible has happened!
Old Lady Wang and Xiao Ding started fighting again. Old Lady Wang, this vicious old woman, actually kicked Xiao Ding in the stomach.
Xiao Ding cried out and fell to the ground, with a large amount of blood gushing out from under his body.
"Oh no! Xiao Ding! You silly child, I hope you are pregnant!" Aunt Mao was so scared that she dropped her vegetable basket and went to help the person.
Xiao Ding said weakly, "My period is irregular, I don't know why. Aunt Mao, hurry, take me to the hospital."
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Tailing Yao Zhizhi is a melon related to her personally, the system will not mention it, so it will not make any noise when seeing Xiao Zhao. This is the setting of the previous article, and I will not explain it in the main text.
