Although there was friction between the neighbors, when they heard that the old man had jumped off the building, everyone rushed to the hospital. This was not just for fun, it was different from watching fun at other times. Everyone was really a little worried.
After all, jumping off a building is no small matter. When a group of people come to the hospital, there is no need to ask any questions. They can just go to where there are many people.
Even though they came over as soon as they heard the noise, they were not as early as the police. The police stared at Bai Fendou and asked directly, "There are marks on your old man's neck from being pinched. What happened? The hospital has already called the police."
The hospital is really afraid of this family.
This back and forth, there is no peace, not to mention other things, the father and son went back and forth to their hospital, it was really like walking through the city gate. To be honest, it is really impossible to resist without a strong man, fortunately they have seen the world. But no matter whether they have seen the world or not, this has happened, and if there is any doubt, they must speak up.
Otherwise, what will I do if the family members blackmail me later?
Don't think that there are no such people now, there are still some.
So the hospital was very clear about it. The doctor who was rescuing the old man saw the marks on his neck and was worried. He quickly notified the nurse to call the police. Before the old man even left the operating room, the police had already arrived.
The police stopped Bai Fendou directly. Hmm, why is it him again? It's him again! "I see your old man hasn't come out yet. We will take care of your emotions. You explain here. If you can't explain clearly, we will take you away."
Bai Fendou looked at the public security comrades in shock and said, "No, you suspect that I killed my father? Am I crazy? He is my biological father. Even if he is not a human being, he is still my biological father! What are you thinking? Why do you think I did it on purpose?"
He shouted in grievance, "When the old man was about to jump off the building, many people came to watch. Everyone saw that he fell down because he didn't hold on firmly. I was already at the door. How could I push him down from a distance? Am I a great god? Can I make him fall down with just a breath?"
"What are you yelling about? Just say whatever you want to say." The police officer didn't get angry with him and said, "Then tell me about the marks on his neck!"
Bai Fendou: "I admit that I pinched him. I pinched him to make him shut up, and then I let go and walked away. Is that not okay?"
"That's your father, how can you do that?"
The public security officer frowned and scolded him, and the onlookers also pointed and said, "How can a son be like this? How can he hit his own father? Even if he doesn't want the old man to speak, he shouldn't have strangled him."
"That's right. How can such a thing happen in this world? Can a father give his son a lesson?"
"Not filial."
"It's a sin to have such a thing."
"That's right!"
Everyone blamed Bai Fendou, and Bai Fendou's defense was broken again in an instant. He turned around abruptly and shouted, "What do you know! Why do you blame me and talk about me here? You... wuwuwu! Do you know what my father said to me? You say this to me, wuwuwu..."
He burst into tears, aggrieved and curled up into a ball. He squatted down and held his head, his voice never stopping: "He knows that I have no family lineage and I can't have children with a woman, but he still told me to get married, and he will enter the bridal chamber after I get married, and then he will give birth to a younger brother for me as a son. Wuuwuwu... Do you think I can stand listening to this? I have struggled in vain, why should I face this? He is too much, I just asked him to shut up. He wanted to jump off the building to scare people because he saw that I was not obedient. Wuuwuwu... I am so aggrieved!"
Bai Fendou is a warrior, and he is also a straightforward warrior.
For most people, even if such a thing happened, they would never speak it out. After all, it was their own family member who was lost. But Bai Fendou didn't! No matter what it was, when he was pushed into a corner, he would speak it out loud, without caring about his face.
He held his head and squatted in the corner crying.
The scene was completely quiet.
Those who had just accused him opened their mouths wide, stunned.
Zhao Guihua and others who also came over to see what was going on and if they could help were also stunned.
These words really made me feel a little uncomfortable.
Old Bai is a ruthless person! How could he even think of this?
Bai Fendou is really a werewolf. He is even more ruthless than a ruthless person. This guy directly blew up his own father.
Public Security Comrade: “…”
For a moment, they were really confused.
This... this... this... this... this...
They won't be able to handle it all at once.
The public security comrade looked at the crying man squatting there, and for some reason, he felt that his hair was a little green. He bent down to help Bai Fendou and said, "Get up and sit on the chair. You are still a patient, so don't sit on the ground."
A look of sympathy.
Bai Fendou rarely received such love and care. He reached out and hugged the public security comrade, crying even more miserably: "My father is not a human being. I haven't even married yet, but he wants to steal my wife away. He wants to enjoy the happiness of having two wives. Woo woo woo, he likes Aunt Su, and he wants Wang Xiangxiu to give him another son. He said he wanted to merge the two families into one. This old widow and the young widow both slept with him. I am a cuckold... my face. He doesn't treat me as a human being!"
The public security comrades knew who Wang Xiangxiu was. How could they not know?
I have been here on duty quite often these days.
He looked up at Wang Xiangxiu and her mother-in-law, who were also watching the fun from the outside. They were stunned at the moment.
How did this involve them? Not only this person, several police officers looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at almost the same time, causing to look in the direction they everyone were looking.
"Why are you looking at them?"
"Don't you understand? Old widow, young widow..."
"Oh my god, this young widow is pretty. No wonder the shameless old man was plotting against her..."
"What is going on?"
"This guy is really unlucky."
"Look, he has a green face."
"This old widow is not that great. How can she still be attracted to the old one when she already has a young one..."
All kinds of discussions began again.
Amidst all the discussions, Bai Fendou felt more and more aggrieved and started crying again, very loudly.
Life, why is it like this to him?
Zhao Guihua and her group originally wanted to come over to see if there was anything they could do to help, but who would have thought that her mother would hear this. Zhao Guihua felt a little embarrassed and wanted to dig her toes into the ground. How could she say this?
She thinks it is normal for young people to do this kind of thing.
But you are already in your 50s. Can your body bear this idea? It is really a waste of time for you.
To be honest, hearing this news was even more disgusting than seeing Zhou Qun harassing Bai Fendou that night.
He is not young anymore, but he has some extravagant ideas.
Zhao Guihua silently looked at Aunt Su and her husband. Not only her, but everyone looked at them, one by one, with meaningful eyes. It must be said that this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were "a little famous" in this area recently.
Now everyone knows it.
Aunt Su didn't expect that Bai Fendou would really tell anyone anything. She took a deep breath, inhaled and exhaled, and said loudly: "Bai Fendou, stop talking nonsense! What your old man wants has nothing to do with us. We have nothing to do with this person!"
Bai Fendou glared at me: "You have been with my father for so many years, and now that our family is in decline, you say you have nothing to do with it. You are so cold and heartless!"
Aunt Su: "You, you, you... stop talking nonsense. You are still young and don't understand."
Bai Fendou: "My father has already said that if it weren't for the Su family and the three children, you would have gotten married when you were young."
Aunt Su leaned on Wang Xiangxiu's shoulder in anger, her eyes full of anger, she almost wanted to eat someone. She tried to dig her palm with her fingers to calm herself down, and tried to put on a pitiful attitude, saying: "Does your father mean what he says? He is a widower and I am a widow. If we really have feelings for each other, we could have been together a long time ago. Why am I still like this? Besides, if we really had something when we were young, wouldn't it be better to get married? I can have one more person to help the family. We really don't have anything, I have always regarded him as my own brother."
Bai Fendou was not convinced: "His last name is Bai, and your last name is Su. You don't have the same last name, so what's the meaning of brother? If you are not related, why did you spend his money?"
He said firmly: "For the past 20 to 30 years, you have been spending his money. At least half of it is spent every month. My dad said that it is worth it to spend it on his wife!"
People around: “Oh wow.”
"Emma, decades."
Aunt Wang grabbed Zhao Guihua's arm and shook it hard.
This is really the time when I have never seen Bai Fendou so combative!
She, she, she, shocked!
Zhao Guihua was also shocked: "Oh my god."
She sighed, it's true, I never expected that one day even Aunt Su would be unable to withstand Bai's reckless efforts.
Bai Fendou was still mumbling: "You were full of affection when you spent his money before, but now that he fell like this, you say that you are just brother and sister. Well, since we are still brother and sister, you should buy him some nutritional supplements. No matter how my dad treats me, he is sincere to you, right?"
Aunt Su said in distress: "Struggle, don't you know what the financial situation is like? Even if I want to help, I am powerless. We are a family of five and life is hard. Your sister Xiu is the only one working in our family and her salary is just over twenty-five. Life is not easy..."
She pinched Wang Xiangxiu, and Wang Xiangxiu immediately said, "Yes, Fendou, you have always known about my family's situation, right? No matter what Uncle Bai is like, we really want to help, but we have to be able to help."
Bai Fendou sneered and said, "You are still pretending to be nice to me. Didn't you just get 200 yuan in compensation? Can you just spend it all like that? Besides, you used to borrow money from me every month. Your mother-in-law borrowed money from my father, and you borrowed money from me. You never paid it back. Your salary is quite low, but if you count what you borrowed every month, even a level 5 worker wouldn't earn as much as you."
"You, you, you are talking nonsense!"
"I'm not talking nonsense. What's the matter? You dare not admit it? You cried when you borrowed money, and now you pretend to be innocent!"
"Fendou, how do you talk to Xiu'er, you..."
"Shut up. I thought you were the kindest person. I always treated you as my own mother. But what about you? You treated me like a fool. You even pretended to have a concussion when something happened. Ugh! Disgusting! Hypocritical!"
“You, you, you…”
Bai Fendou was furious: "What do you mean by you? Are I still lying? You are not a good person."
He said bluntly: "I was blind before!"
To be honest, despite Bai Fendou's crazy output here, no one really thinks he is wrong. Everyone looks at him with sympathy. Whether they know him or not, everyone who hears his words thinks that this person is somewhat miserable.
His own father is not a human being. He hooks up with an old widow and still thinks about a young widow. The most disgusting thing is that when his son gets married, he becomes the groom and enters the bridal chamber.
The old widow and the young widow teamed up to defraud the father and son of their money, and the father and son each paid half...
Hiss! You count, you count again!
If they don't change to a level five worker, the father and son will lose at least thirty bucks a month.
This is too miserable. Even if I work alone, I can’t earn that much.
Aunt Wang counted on her fingers: "Almost, almost."
Aunt Sui: "No, right? Aren't Bai Fendou and his son dung carriers making 25 yuan a month? Each of them takes half, which is 12.5 yuan. Together, oh yes, it's still 25. Plus his salary of 26 or 27 yuan, it's just over 50. Not as much as a level 5 worker."
Zhao Guihua glared at her: "Are you stupid? Bai Fendou has only been carrying manure for two months. He used to work in the security department, earning more than 30 yuan a month."
"He used to get 34 yuan, but usually it's 17 yuan. Old Bai works in the back office, and his salary is 28 yuan, so half of that is 14 yuan. Add in his own... my god, 56 or 57 yuan. Neither Aunt Su nor Wang Xiangxiu would borrow half of the money, so there must be more and less. When it's more, it's even more. If you add it up, it's at least 60 yuan a month."
Aunt Wang was so shocked by the calculation she made.
Zhao Guihua felt that this calculation was not very accurate, because Wang Xiangxiu also cheated other people out of money, so the money they made every month was really quite a lot. It can be said that they were indeed an extremely wealthy family in their compound.
Even if there is no other extra income, these 60 yuan are not a small amount. Even if the boy eats up the old man, 60 yuan can support five or six people. Tonglai is still very young, and Yinlai is only in the first grade this year.
No matter how much they eat, how much is left?
This account cannot be calculated. Once you calculate it, you will know that the Su family is not that poor.
“Tsk!”
Everyone was looking at the Su family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and they thought that the way they ate was really ugly.
Aunt Su and Wang Xiangxiu didn't know how this matter got to them. What did this matter have to do with them? Aunt Su didn't want to get entangled, and she didn't want to stand here and argue any more. If she won, she would get no money, and if she lost, she would be embarrassed.
She whimpered, rubbed her temple and said, "My head... my head hurts again?"
Wang Xiangxiu and her mother-in-law had a tacit understanding and she immediately said, "Mom, are you okay? You must be angry. I'll help you to the ward, let's go!"
Bai Fendou: "If you have the guts, don't leave!"
Wang Xiang stamped her feet gracefully, turned around and said, "It's a waste of effort. You bastard!"
Bai Fendou: "You are the bastard, your whole family is bastards! I was blind before and thought you were a good woman, but now even if I am no longer capable, I will not look for you, bah! You can sleep with whoever you want, I will not marry you."
Wang Xiangxiu was so angry that she started to cry and cursed: "You shameless person, hello, hello, if you have the guts, you can be single for the rest of your life!"
Bai Fendou: "I am happy with it. Even if I am single, I don't want to be cuckolded!"
Wang Xiangxiu: "You slandered me! You..."
Aunt Su held Wang Xiangxiu's hand and said, "Xiu'er, help me back to the ward. What did you say? Anyway, your innocence cannot be slandered by others. Oh, right. The innocent are innocent. We don't need him to fight in vain to prove our innocence. Let's go! Stay away from this villain!"
Wang Xiangxiu: “Yes.”
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left quickly.
Bai Fendou shouted, "Who are you calling a villain? Stop right there. You are the villain, and your whole family is villains. Don't think I don't know. You said I can't have children, and you wanted to coax me into a trap. Don't think I'm a fool! Even if I'm a fool, fools have dignity! I heard you mumbling in the toilet! Two big rats!"
"Okay, okay, calm down."
When the public security comrades saw the little green man again, they just thought that he was a very miserable guy.
He said, "Please sit down for a while. This is a hospital. Please don't make loud noises and disturb others' rest. Please be quiet for a while."
Bai Fendou covered his face and started crying again.
At this time, the lights in the operating room went out and the patient finally came out.
The public security comrade hurried forward and asked, "How is the person?"
The doctor said seriously, "The patient has been saved, but he is not out of danger yet. These few days are critical, and as a family member, you'd better stay with him. He was unlucky and had already injured his head. This time when he fell, he was injured on his head again, causing the wound to be severely damaged again. In addition, he fell from a height and has several fractures in his body, and even injured his spine. Even if he is out of danger and wakes up, I'm afraid he won't be able to work and will have to be paralyzed in bed."
"What?"
Bai Fendou was shocked.
The onlookers felt even more sympathetic towards Bai Fendou, as he was a huge burden.
Aunt Wang also took the initiative to step forward and persuaded Bai Fendou: "You can't fall down now. If you fall down, your father..."
Bai Fendou suddenly looked up and said, "Is this retribution?"
He rubbed his eyes and said, "Our family really got punished. I shouldn't have trusted those two women."
Aunt Wang sighed, patted Bai Fendou on the shoulder, and said, "What you should think about now is the medical expenses and the future..."
What she said was very true.
Medical expenses do need to be considered. As a formal employee of the factory, Old Man Bai can reimburse part of the expenses. But even if half of it is reimbursed, the other half still needs to be paid by themselves. They have not yet repaid the money they borrowed from the factory for their previous hospitalization.
Now, the old man definitely can’t go to work like this.
Bai Fendou just felt his head buzzing.
Zhao Guihua: "Let's arrange for the old man to return to the ward first, and don't think about anything else for now."
The person was quickly sent to the ward. Since there was nothing suspicious about the old man Bai jumping off the building, the public security comrades did not stay here for long.
It can be said that Bai Fendou was lucky. Many people came to watch at that time, which can prove that he definitely did not push anyone. They were very far away at that time. If it was just them, father and son, he really couldn't explain it clearly.
After all, there were strangulation marks on his neck. Many people now proved that he was far away at the time, and the strangulation marks were caused by something, which made things clear. The public security comrades looked at the unlucky Bai Fendou, shook their heads silently and left.
Bai Fendou sent the patient back to the ward, and the doctor also reminded him: "You have to pay the hospital bill in the next two days."
Bai Fendou nodded: "I'll find a way."
Doctors are not too worried about patients like Bai Fendou, because such locals have regular jobs as workers. It is impossible to just leave the patients here and leave.
Bai Fendou sat on the bench, hugging his head silently.
Zhao Guihua saw his embarrassment and knew that this man had no savings at all. He couldn't even afford the hospital bill this time, let alone the huge expense of Old Man Bai. Although Bai Fendou was not in tune with his daily life and did many incredible things, Zhao Guihua watched Bai Fendou grow up.
She sighed and said, "It's a waste of effort. Do you have any money?"
Bai Fendou raised his head: "I still have seventy, which is my previous savings and the money Jiang Lu compensated me."
Even though he looked very strong just now, he was also at a loss now.
He had no idea what to do and just said whatever he wanted to say.
"In fact, it's not enough. Don't blame Aunt Zhao for speaking bluntly. You have to think of a solution as soon as possible in your current situation."
She said, "Have you settled your father's previous hospital bill?"
You know, the old man was hit by a brick before.
"not yet."
"If Yu Baoshan hits someone, can the Yu family pay for it?"
Bai Fendou shook his head: "Yu Baoshan is dead, no one in the Yu family recognizes him..."
No one claimed Yu Baoshan's body.
That's how this family is.
Zhao Guihua sighed. Even if Yu Baoshan still had something, they probably wouldn't be able to get it out. That's how it is now. Death is the end of the debt.
She thought for a moment and said, "Auntie, I'll give you an idea."
"You say."
Zhao Guihua: "Your father is a regular employee of the factory, and now he can't go to work. You should sell his job. A regular employee's job can be sold for at least 200 to 300 yuan."
Nowadays, the cost of a formal job is almost as high as the price of a house.
She added, "Your father got into trouble this time, and you've said so much. His reputation must be bad. Go to the factory leaders and tell them the truth about the situation and the difficulties. The factory should turn a blind eye to your selling your job. I don't know if the money from selling your job and your savings are enough for your medical expenses. If it is enough, that's better. If not, you can borrow money from the factory and then deduct it from your salary every month. You can't owe money to anyone but the hospital."
"Guihua is right. You should get through this difficult time first, and when your father is almost well, you can go home and take care of him. This way you can spend less money."
Bai Fendou: "Thank you."
Zhao Guihua waved her hands: "We can't really help you, we just offer some advice."
Bai Fendou covered his face and cried.
The old ladies looked at each other, and Aunt Wang said, "You should also cheer up and don't collapse. If you collapse, your life will be even more ruined. Although your father doesn't look well now, as long as he is not in danger of death and is taken care of in the future, as long as people are alive, it is better than anything else, and life will gradually get better."
Bai Fendou grumbled and said "hmm".
"What would you like to eat tonight? I'll bring you some."
"Yes, we can take turns to bring you some food. It's not that good, but at least you can have enough to eat."
"Yes."
Bai Fendou looked at everyone in surprise, and suddenly his eyes turned red and he cried again. He used to think that the people in the courtyard were not good, and only the Su family was the best. Now that something really happened, he realized that it was not the case at all.
"Thank you."
"Why are you saying that? We are all neighbors."
Bai Fendou wiped away tears and said, "No, no, you don't have to send me anything. I can't eat anything right now. It would be a waste if you sent me anything."
He couldn't stop crying, and kept wiping his tears. He said, "You all should go back. I want to be alone and think about what to do."
"All right."
Everyone comforted him a few more words before going downstairs together.
"They both have good conditions, but how come their life turns out like this?"
"The widow is a harm to others."
Everyone fell silent. In fact, Bai Fendou was able to get to where he is today because of the efforts of the Su family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Are you saying they broke the law?
They really didn't do anything illegal, but what they did was worse than petty theft, or even robbery. Other people who do bad things only hurt people temporarily, but they hurt people for life.
In fact, there is something that no one has said, and it is too vicious to say it at this time.
But from a practical point of view, everyone has thought that if the old man Bai had died directly, Bai Fendou might have a better life. If the old man Bai was alive, he would be a burden to Bai Fendou.
But... let's see how to say it.
Bai Fendou can no longer do that. Almost everyone in the city knows that he is no longer able to do that. So it is unlikely that he can get married. If his father is alive, he still has someone to talk to. If his father dies, there will be nothing left.
That's what it's like to be alone, so it's hard to say how to struggle better.
Everybody left.
Zhao Guihua talked about this when she got home. Everyone was silent for a while. Although everyone was usually happy to eat melons, this was actually a different matter. This was different from a simple fight.
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "I have a day off tomorrow, I'll go see him."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Brother, let me go with you."
Mingmei: "He used to scheme against Zhixi, and I thought he was annoying and I hated him, but now seeing how miserable he is, I don't know what to say. Life is hard to say."
"You are only a child, don't get involved in the affairs of the hospital. Bai Fendou is also simmering with anger towards the Su family, don't let it explode all at once. Otherwise, innocent people will be affected. You are a pregnant woman, and if you are pushed or bumped by others, you will suffer."
Mingmei nodded immediately: "I know."
Zhuang Zhixi stroked his chin and said, "I don't know what Wang Xiangxiu said to others when they went into the small warehouse to make Bai Fendou so cruel that he is now ruthlessly exposing Wang Xiangxiu's background."
"It doesn't necessarily mean what he said. If he saw Wang Xiangxiu messing around with someone, it would be enough to make him collapse."
"Ahem!" Zhao Guihua stopped her two sons and said, "Stop talking nonsense. The child is still here."
Hutou and Xiaoyanzi looked at their father and uncle curiously.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Let's go play."
Tiger Head: "It's getting dark, we won't go out."
It's not that their family doesn't shy away from having children, but the children already know about it. Raising children now is not as precious as it was decades ago. Families with one child are rare now. Having two, three, or four children is normal.
If you talk about someone like Wang Zhaodi, who had nine daughters and continued to have more, it would be easy to make a lot of noise.
There are so many children, so just raise them however you like.
Moreover, children are now free to run around outside. It is summer vacation now, and the children are playing in the streets, so they will hear it very quickly. When adults talk, they can hear it.
Zhao Guihua: "Grandpa Bai didn't mean to jump off the building. He just wanted to scare people with it, but he accidentally fell down. So you kids must pay attention to safety when playing outside. And don't scare people with life-threatening situations. If something really happens, it will be over."
Hu Tou and Xiao Yanzi nodded vigorously. Hu Tou: "I will never do such a thing."
The little swallow also nodded quickly and said, "I won't go to high places."
Zhao Guihua smiled and rubbed the two children's heads, saying, "It's not that you are not allowed to go to high places, but you cannot go to dangerous places. For example, Grandpa Bai was sitting on the windowsill on the third floor, and he raised his arms. He didn't even hold on to the window, so of course it was very dangerous."
The children could hear these words even if she didn't say them, so Zhao Guihua simply said them directly, which could be considered as an instruction to the children.
"Is anyone home?"
Mingmei turned around first and smiled, "Grandpa."
Lan Sihai walked in with his hands behind his back. Zhao Guihua stood up and said, "Uncle Lan, please sit down."
Lan Sihai: "I'm here to look for Hutou and Xiaoyanzi."
Tiger Head scratched his head in confusion, but still said, "Grandpa Lan, what do you want from me?"
Lan Sihai glared at him: "You have a really good memory, kid. You have such a good memory at such a young age. How will you study in the future?"
Everyone: “…”
The children won't understand your way of chatting.
Little Swallow patted her brother and said, "It's Yang's Crooked Knee, Grandpa Lan, it's Yang's Crooked Knee, right?"
The name they use in their family is a mess! Mingmei's grandpa, Hutou and Xiaoyanzi must call him great-grandfather.
But the two children often forget to remember, and accidentally call him Grandpa Lan just like some people in the courtyard. Lan Sihai didn't correct him, it was just a name, casual. He didn't care about it, even if he called him Old Lan, there was no problem.
Lan Sihai nodded: "Xiaoyanzi still has a good memory. Here you go."
"Wow! That's great."
“That’s great.”
Children nowadays don't have many toys. If a father can make a wooden pistol for his child, or a mother can make a sandbag for her child, it would be considered a great thing. It would attract people's attention and make other children envious.
The same goes for sheep's crutches. It is quite difficult to collect a pair of sheep's crutches.
Every household is in financial difficulty now, and a working-class family like theirs is considered well off, but getting a sheep's crutch is not easy.
Lan Sihai put a pair of sheep's crutches on the table and said, "This is what I promised to give you. Here, put it away and play with it."
The two kids looked at each other and jumped up and down: "Great, great!"
Mingmei smiled and said coquettishly, "Grandpa, when did you get in touch with Hutou and Xiaoyanzi? I didn't, 喤喤, I'm sad."
Lan Sihai's mouth twitched and he said, "Come on, stop acting. Your acting is not good at all."
Mingmei: “Huh.”
Tiger Head chirped: "Aunt, Da Fei in the street ahead has a pair, and he shows it off. He doesn't let us play with it, but always shows it to us, making fun of us for not having one. When Grandpa Lan saw it, he said he could save up a pair for us. Hehe."
Xiaoyanzi: "Grandpa Lan is the best."
Lan Sihai's mouth corners curled up, a little proud.
Mingmei: “Yo yo yo.”
Zhao Guihua also smiled: "Take it back to your room and play with it."
"good."
Although it was a small room, the brother and sister had their own room, and they ran back hand in hand.
"We have a crutch, too!"
“Great!”
The two kids were extremely happy, "Let's play together."
"good."
The two children returned to the house. Zhao Guihua said, "Thank you, Uncle Lan."
Lan Sihai: "You're welcome. I'm just looking for it. I know exactly where to find this kind of thing."
"Grandpa, I'll find you if I want to play anything in the future."
Lan Sihai: "Okay, if it comes to eating, drinking and having fun, I'll be ranked second, and no one dares to be ranked first."
He didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, if someone was hardworking and willing to work, there had to be someone like him.
That’s right…
He asked, "I heard that the old white guy got into trouble. What happened?"
Zhao Guihua: "We were just talking about this, isn't this..."
She told him what happened today. Lan Sihai shook his head slightly and said, "What's going on?"
"Who says it's not?"
"That means this person is still in danger?"
"No. It wasn't there when we left. The doctor said these next few days are critical."
Lan Sihai and Bai Fendou didn't have much friendship, but Zhao Guihua and the others, although there were many frictions between them, had watched Bai Fendou grow up. They could be said to be old neighbors for thirty or forty years.
They watched Bai Fendou being born.
In this situation, no matter how ordinary the relationship is, people still hope to lend a hand. This is a normal human reaction. But Lan Sihai is much farther away. He has only moved here for half a year, not even half a year.
This just happened to be the six months when Bai Fendou was in the most trouble because he couldn't find a partner.
He used to be reckless, but not too extreme. In the past six months, he really went too far, and it was because everyone was getting married, and Zhuang Zhixi, who was ten years younger than him, was married and had children, so he was really confused.
He does things in a very unreliable way.
Because of this, Lan Sihai looked down on him. They had only known each other for a short time, and he was not very friendly. So Lan Sihai just showed some concern but did not take it too seriously.
But after listening to Zhao Guihua's words, he suddenly asked, "He has a job to sell?"
Zhao Guihua: "That's what I suggested. It's hard to say what his decision will be. Uncle Lan, you don't want to buy it, do you?"
Lan Sihai: "What do I buy? I have a job and my wife also has a job."
Although Luo Xiaohe is not a formal worker, she has been a temporary worker for many years. At her age, even if she wants to buy a formal job, it is impossible because the factory will not agree. Generally speaking, young people take over, but I have never seen an old lady.
He said: "No one in my family needs it, I just asked out of curiosity."
He didn't ask casually, but some things don't need explanation. He stood up and said, "Okay, I'm going back too."
"Grandpa, I'll take you there."
Lan Sihai: "You don't even need to leave the yard, just walk a few steps. What's there to send? You'll just act cute."
Mingmei chuckled.
Lan Sihai: “Go away.”
Lan Sihai didn't need to be seen off. He walked out the door, and Mingmei also said, "Brother Zhixi, shall we go back and rest too?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay."
The family quickly went their separate ways. Zhuang Lao was puzzled: "My dear, what did Uncle Lan mean? Did he deliberately talk about work?"
He heard it, but didn't understand.
Zhao Guihua: "He said this to the eldest brother's wife."
"Why?"
Zhuang Laonian was shocked and asked, "Why did he tell the eldest son's wife? His family probably doesn't like the eldest son's wife that much, right? After all, before the third son and his wife got married, the eldest son's wife was a demon."
Zhao Guihua felt that her husband was not a scheming person.
She said: "You only see the first layer, not the second layer. Otherwise, why don't you say that they have a good life? They don't look at things as narrowly as you do."
Zhuang Laonian: “……?”
Just say what you want to say, why make personal attacks?
Zhao Guihua said meaningfully, "The third brother and his wife are both working, while the eldest brother and his wife are both working alone, and they have two children. If you think about it, isn't there a big difference in their living standards? As an old man, even if they want to treat everyone equally, they will probably take better care of the one who is less well off. And that's the way it is now. Although the eldest brother's wife can help with the work at home, he has two more children. In reality, they pay the same living expenses. So the old family is definitely taking advantage."
"Then what?"
"Besides, we are getting old. When it comes to retirement, if the eldest's family is poor, they will definitely rely more on the third's family. Then won't the burden on the third's family be heavy? Of course, I didn't think so, but others will make inferences based on the actual situation. Are you right? After all, outsiders don't know what we think. They only look at the most likely scenario. The reality is that there is a gap between the eldest and the third."
Zhuang Laonian: "Yes."
But what does this have to do with work? I still don’t quite understand.
"He proposed this because he wanted the eldest son's wife to buy the job, so that both the eldest son and his wife can work in the future. Since both of them are working parents and their family conditions are similar, shouldn't we treat them equally? Besides, if both the eldest son and his wife are working parents and their conditions are much better, then would we still need to secretly subsidize Hu Tou and Xiao Yan Zi?"
Zhuang Laonian: "..."
He thought about it for a long time and said, "Uncle Lan doesn't mean this, does he? I think he is so heartless all day long, he wouldn't even think of this, right?"
Zhao Guihua: "You really underestimate the Lan family."
She said sincerely: "Uncle Lan didn't do anything. If he really did, he would draw a circle and you would be able to run for half a year."
Zhuang Laonian: "...Aren't you insulting me?"
Woohoo, is he that bad? Zhao Guihua understood his expression and said, "You're not that bad, but Uncle Lan is really an amazing person."
The most amazing thing is that this guy is good at everything he does.
Zhuang Laonian: "..."
He coughed and said, "Well, what do you think? The eldest and his wife don't have that much money to buy a job, right?"
Zhao Guihua gave him a sidelong glance and said, "Do you think he was only saying this to the eldest brother and his wife? It's true that he was reminding the eldest brother's wife, but he was also saying it for us. If the eldest brother's wife wants to buy a job, she will definitely ask me for money."
Zhuang Laonian muttered quietly: "If we give the money, won't it be a loss for the third brother's family again?"
Zhao Guihua rubbed his temples and thought that his husband was really naive.
She said: "How could I not ask her to pay back the money? She has to pay back whatever she took. Uncle Lan knew that I was not the kind of person who would give unlimited financial support to my children. That's why he dared to say that."
Zhuang Laonian said "oh" and nodded.
Zhao Guihua: "Let me think about this. I wonder how much money Bai Fendou can ask for."
Zhuang Laonian said, "I don't know if the eldest son's wife can do the job of sweeping the toilet."
Zhao Guihua sneered and said, "Believe it or not, she can run faster than a rabbit when she hears about this job. The eldest brother's wife is not lazy when it comes to work."
Zhuang Laonian thought about it for a moment and nodded: "That's true."
Zhao Guihua: "She is just confused about her mother's family affairs, but it doesn't matter. If she dares to do it again this time, I will beat her to death!"
She is not the Zhao Guihua of the past. The Zhao Guihua of the past still had to maintain some face, but now?
hehe!
Get lost! If the eldest daughter-in-law does something wrong, she will teach her a lesson.
Some people don't have clear minds, it's just how they are used to it.
At this time, Liang Meifen was also turning around in the room, like a donkey pulling a millstone, she turned back and forth several times. Zhuang Zhiyuan finally couldn't stand it anymore and said, "What's wrong with you? Are you going to sleep or not?"
Liang Meifen excitedly grabbed Zhuang Zhiyuan and said, "Bai Fendou wants to sell his job."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "Yeah, it was our mother who came up with the idea, so what?"
Priscilla Leung: "I, I, I...what do you think of me?"
She stuttered in excitement.
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "Not very good. Can you go and pick up manure?"
Priscilla Leung: "Why not? Why do you still look down on the working people? What can't you do? It's only 25 yuan a month."
God knows how hard it is to find a temporary job, but this is a formal job.
Zhuang Zhiyuan felt a little awkward and embarrassed, but he still said, "This job won't be cheap. It will probably cost two or three hundred. We don't have enough savings."
"My parents do!" Priscilla Leung said excitedly.
Zhuang Zhiyuan's smile gradually faded. He looked at Liang Meifen and said, "Do my parents have to give it to me? If they give it to me, will you still support your parents and your brother? You don't know how happy I am that you don't have a job these days and your brothers ignore you. I would rather you earn less than see those vampires in your parents' family."
Liang Meifen was not convinced: "Why do you talk like that? They are my parents and my brother."
Zhuang Zhiyuan said lightly: "Then go borrow money from your parents and brother."
He covered himself with the quilt and went straight to sleep.
Leung Mei-fen burst into tears.
How could her husband hate his family so much? She felt so bitter.
"Dad, think about it, if I have a job, can it also reduce the burden on the family? The children are already grown up..."
"You have a job to reduce the burden on your family, not on me. Wasn't it like that before?"
When Zhuang Zhiyuan thought of the bad things that happened in the past, he suddenly didn't want to fight for his wife. He said, "Sleep, I would rather be poor than have you work like a slave for others."
Miriam Leung: "Why do you say that..."
Zhuang Zhiyuan sneered: "If you get a job, your parents and your damned brother will definitely come to your house again. Only a brainless person like you would think they are good people. If they were really good people, they wouldn't be indifferent to you after you lost your job."
Some things are scary to compare. As both are sons-in-law, the third brother is in this state when he goes to his mother-in-law's house. I really don't want to talk about what his own state is like.
If he thought it was okay before, it was because they were still kind of fawning on their family, which made Zhuang Zhiyuan feel he could tolerate it. But ever since Liang Meifen gave up her job, things have been completely different, and her attitude has changed.
The contrast between the before and after was so great that how could Zhuang Zhiyuan not be annoyed.
Liang Meifen felt extremely uncomfortable. She bit her lips and felt uncomfortable all over her body.
"They also have their own difficulties..."
"If you say that, I will never let my parents give you money to buy a job. Also, if you get involved with your mother's family again, get out of here."
"You! How can you be so cruel?"
Zhuang Zhiyuan said woodenly: "Because I'm tired. I'm tired of you thinking about your mother's family all day long."
He turned over and went to sleep without caring about the fact that Mei-Fun was still crying.
Liang Meifen wanted to say something good about her parents' family, but when she thought about what they had done, she couldn't find any good words to say, and she just felt more and more uncomfortable. She covered her head and huddled in the quilt... woo woo woo.
I don't know how long he cried, Zhuang Zhiyuan finally turned over and sat up, saying: "What I just said was just angry words, let's talk less."
Liang Meifen nodded nervously.
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "Have you ever thought about it? We still have two children..."
Priscilla Leung: “Hmm?”
Her eyes were misty with tears.
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "They will face going to the countryside, are you willing to let them go?"
After hearing this, Leung Mei-fun got excited and said, "No, we can't let them go to the countryside to suffer."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "So, let me tell you..."
Zhao Guihua did not take the initiative to mention anything about work. Even if she wanted to borrow money, she couldn't ask for it.
But she didn't expect that although Liang Meifen's eyes were swollen like light bulbs, as if she had cried all night, she didn't say a word. It was as if she had agreed with Zhuang Zhiyuan.
Zhuang Zhiyuan, on the other hand, just ate and drank as if nothing had happened.
Zhao Guihua knew that in their previous life, they had not separated, and the eldest son's family had taken advantage of the third son's family. There was still some estrangement between them, but now that they were separated, the relationship was not tense. Sometimes, if you think about it, it is the parents who try to smooth things over, which will make the relationship between their children worse.
Now that parents can understand this clearly, things become much simpler.
These brothers and sisters can get along well with each other.
Zhuang Zhiyuan finished his breakfast and said, "I'm going to the hospital to see Bai Fendou today and will ask him how much his work costs."
Everyone stopped eating and looked at Zhuang Zhiyuan.
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "If I want to buy this job for my wife, can I borrow money from you?"
Zhao Guihua: "I can lend you the money, but how are you going to pay it back?"
She was also very direct: "Your wife has a job and has started to support her parents' family. Isn't that infuriating enough?"
Liang Meifen looked up at the sky miserably and whispered, "I won't do it anymore."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "I've thought about it. If I can't buy the job, forget it. If I can, I'll collect my's salary every month. No matter how much she earns, I'll leave her four yuan for food. Four yuan is enough for a steamed bun and vegetables every day. But she can't eat meat. I'll keep the rest of the money and save it. As long as it's enough, I'll pay it back to you as soon as wife possible."
There was a moment of silence.
Liang Meifen didn't react. Anyway, she had heard this last night. It was also what they had discussed.
Although she was confused, she felt that what her man said at the time made a lot of sense.
Mingmei moved the corners of her mouth on the side but said nothing.
Zhuang Zhixi stood up silently and said, "Wife, let's go. I'll take you to work."
He doesn't interfere in his elder brother's affairs.
The couple went out quickly, Mingmei whispered: "Big brother is too..."
Zhuang Zhixi rode his bike very steadily. He said, "My eldest brother is doing this for the good of his family. It would not sound good if he took my eldest sister-in-law's salary. He can withstand the pressure and do this, and it is really for the sake of maintaining the family. Otherwise, my eldest sister-in-law has no opinion and wants to show off by supporting her parents at the slightest. She can't save money at all. They have two children at home. If they don't save money, what will they do in the future?"
In fact, Zhuang Zhixi can understand his elder brother.
Zhuang Zhiyuan is a man who cares about his reputation. He made such a decision not for himself, but for his children. There are too few divorces these days. Blind marriages and no-one can live with quarrels.
Not to mention people like Zhuang Zhiyuan who are in free love.
He has feelings for Priscilla Leung. As long as Priscilla Leung has no money, she is a normal person.
So Zhuang Zhiyuan would rather his reputation be worse than his own, but he still planned to do so. He actually still hoped that his wife would have a job, as two working people are always better than one working person. Besides, he has two children at home.
Although Zhuang Zhiyuan loves his son more, he doesn't intend for the gap to be too big, and he certainly can't favor one over the other.
This is not a question of whether they should get married or not.
This is all later. Both the husband and wife have jobs, so they have more choices when their children face going to the countryside. Now a large number of educated young people go to the countryside, how much suffering they suffer, he can see, his unit has children who go to the countryside, and their life is hard.
Their city is the capital, and the days in the capital are the same as the days in the countryside. The children have never done farm work. He is reluctant to let his children go to the countryside, but if they are both working, it will be different.
When the time comes, you can let your children take over. Although the current policy requires every household to have at least one child go to the countryside, the policy is static, but people are alive. When the tiger is older, take over first, save money and give gifts, and when the little swallow can go to the countryside, it would be best if she can take over.
Both husband and wife have jobs, which is just enough to support their two children.
And they need to save some money for their retirement. After all, they have given all their work to their children and they cannot be without money.
So it is important for them to have jobs and it is also important for them to have money.
Zhuang Zhiyuan thought about this very clearly. He had not told Zhuang Zhixi about it, but as a brother, Zhuang Zhixi understood it the moment his elder brother opened his mouth.
He did it for the children.
That's what being a parent is all about.
Zhuang Zhixi kept talking to Mingmei all the way, and Mingmei finally understood. However, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe, I don't need to go to the countryside anymore in the future."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Who knows? Can we expect policy changes without planning?"
Mingmei nodded.
She went upstairs with her small bag on her back to her workplace. She vaguely remembered that her mother-in-law had said that people started to return to the city in the late 1970s... Oh, she didn't say that to her, it was a dream. So according to Hu Tou and Xiao Yan Zi's age, it should be impossible for them to go to the countryside.
But she couldn't say this. She couldn't say that she could see it, right?
Besides, saving money is not a bad thing.
She pounded her way up the stairs, hoping they could buy the job successfully.
