Zhuang Zhixi sent his wife off and asked for leave from work before rushing back to the courtyard. He was so busy that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He returned to the courtyard and shouted, "Brother, we're leaving."
The two brothers made an appointment to go to the hospital together. Zhuang Zhiyuan had a day off today, so he didn't need to take a leave.
Leung Mei-fen followed them out with her swollen eyes, looking at them expectantly.
Zhuang Zhiyuan said firmly: "You don't have to go."
Liang Meifen's expression darkened. Zhao Guihua went out to get some water and said, "You're just making things worse."
Liang Meifen went to work silently with a bitter look on her face. Since the kids were on summer vacation, she felt that there was more work to do. Since she couldn't go with them, Liang Meifen started to wash clothes silently. The two brothers went out together. Zhao Guihua was about to go home when she noticed a sight and saw Jin Lai looking at her house with a thief's look.
It was not a good thing to be targeted by a little thief, so she glared at the naughty kid fiercely.
Jin Lai pouted in dissatisfaction. His aunt had already gone to work and left long ago. The three of them had eaten steamed bread again this morning. Ever since his mother and grandmother were hospitalized, their family had eaten steamed bread every day.
At first, the naughty kids cried, but if they cried, they would not have any steamed bread. But they managed to get by these few days. However, even though they managed, they were still very greedy. You know, they used to have at least one white flour steamed bread for one meal, and they could eat meat every now and then.
But it has been more than a week and there is nothing. I have to eat steamed bread and boiled cabbage every day.
He didn't even buy a little bit of other small vegetables. His mouth was empty. Jin Lai looked in the direction of the banker again, pouted, and said, "He only knows how to eat alone. He doesn't know how to help our family a little more. How can there be such a selfish person."
"elder brother..."
Yin said, "I want to eat meat."
Jin Lai also wanted to eat, but Hu Huihui refused to buy any. She said, "Let's wait until our mother comes back."
Tonglai whispered: "Hutou and the others can catch sparrows."
Sparrow meat is also meat.
It tastes delicious when roasted.
Didn't Jin Lai know this? He knew it too, but they couldn't catch them. He said irritably, "They can catch them because they have grass seeds to attract sparrows. There is nothing we can't catch."
How can it be so easy to catch something flying in the sky? Yin Lai: "We can ask Hu Tou for it."
Jin Lai sneered and said, "His family still eats fish. If you go and ask for it, will they give it to you?"
Because it had been raining for several days, people generally did not go out to buy food, so Zhao Guihua also steamed salted fish several times, which was smelled by the greedy cat with a sharp nose. Jin Lai scolded: "The dog who eats alone, selfish, their family will get retribution sooner or later."
"Yes, definitely."
"That's right."
The three children shared a common hatred for the enemy.
Hutou and his friends had grass seeds, Li Junjun and Li Weiwei also had them, and Sui Hong, the younger brother of the Sui family, also had them. Sui Hong was fourteen years old and lived in the backyard with Hutou and his friends. These people were a small team, always gathering together to catch sparrows, and few of them came without gold.
Jin Lai has seen it several times, they are evenly divided.
This is what made him most angry. Xiaoyanzi already has a girl, so why shouldn't she be given to them?
Girls are all money-losing goods. It's a bargain for them to eat steamed bread. How can they still want to eat meat?
Those fools of theirs, instead of giving him a boy, gave him a girl. What a fool.
Yinlai was even more angry and said, "You are just a money-loser, you little bitch."
Jin Lai: "Eat them to death."
A few people cursed loudly, and it seemed that they felt much better after cursing someone.
Jin Lai: "When I grow up, I will steal all the good things in their house."
He is still young now and is afraid of being beaten. He will do that when he grows up.
Yin Lai: "I'm with my brother."
Tonglai blinked his eyes and said, "I'll keep watch."
"Okay, the three of us are of one mind. Let's go, I'll find a way, and we'll get something delicious."
"Where can I get it?"
It's not that I look down on my brother, but the people in this courtyard are extremely wary of them. It's hard for them to succeed.
Jin Lai: "Let's go out, let's go somewhere else. This is not the only compound in the whole alley, let's go to other compounds to steal."
"good!"
After the three children had discussed it, they immediately ran out together without even closing the door.
Zhao Guihua watched them run out and wondered, "What are they doing again?"
Liang Meifen said sympathetically: "I don't know whose family is going to be in trouble again. I vaguely heard them talking about stealing something..."
"Steal what?"
Aunt Wang came to the front yard and started talking.
Priscilla Leung: "We were talking about Jin Lai and his brothers. I vaguely heard him say he was going to steal something."
Aunt Wang started rubbing her temples.
Zhao Guihua smiled and said, "You are still worried about this."
Aunt Wang: "Why not? What the hell is this? You'll be a street urchin when you grow up."
"The street guys are all good, I'm just afraid that I'll have to go in and get a free meal. But it's none of our business if they don't care about it themselves."
She said, "You are..."
Aunt Wang: "I went to the street to get some materials for people to paste paper boxes. It rained a few days ago, and I was afraid that the materials would get wet and people would be unhappy, so I didn't go. It's sunny now, so I can work and earn some money."
"I'll go with you."
"That would be great."
Aunt Wang and Zhao Guihua went to the street together, chatting as they walked. Zhao Guihua lowered her voice and said, "I want to buy some food to keep at home."
Aunt Wang was stunned, then quickly asked: "What? What's the matter?"
Zhao Guihua: "It has been raining for a week straight. My eldest brother read in the newspaper that it was raining all over the country, and our city was not the worst hit. The worst hit place was... oh, I can't remember, but it was the worst hit place, with torrential rain for seven or eight consecutive days. So I was thinking, I don't know if it will have an impact on food, so why not buy more now? You know, there are many people in my family, and Besides the children, there are also pregnant women, and I'm really worried that they will starve."
They all lived through those three years and have truly experienced what it is like to be hungry. That is why they pay special attention when it comes to food.
Aunt Wang patted her head and said, "What you said makes sense. It really makes sense."
Zhao Guihua: "That's right. You see, our Sijiu City doesn't produce much grain. All the grain is shipped in from other places. If there is more rain in other places, the grain production will decrease. Bah, bah, bah, look at my bad mouth, but I'm just worried. I'm really hungry and worried."
Aunt Wang: "What's the big deal? I think what you said makes sense. I'll think about buying some. Just like what you said, it's okay for adults to suffer a little, but it's not okay for children and pregnant women."
"Who says it's not?"
"I've only told you this, don't tell anyone else, or you'll accuse me of spreading false information and get me arrested."
Aunt Wang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I am doing. I will never cheat you no matter what."
They are old sisters.
"Are you planning to go to the black market?"
Zhao Guihua: "I thought so, but I don't know what the price is on the black market. To be honest, I'm a little nervous about going there."
"Who says it's not?"
Working class families like them, sometimes have money but no things, so they would barter with others for some things. But since the pigeon market disappeared and became a black market, people go there less often. After all, the meaning is different.
Some families would rather exchange with relatives in the countryside than go to the black market, after all, they are all workers.
The worse the conditions are, the less afraid we are of these things.
On the contrary, those who have formal jobs are much more cautious. They can't afford to delay their iron rice bowl. Zhao Guihua: "I won't buy too much, I just want to save some for emergencies."
"Yes, I'll go home and discuss it with the old man and ask him and his son-in-law to go there."
Zhao Guihua nodded and said nothing more, and they arrived at the street.
When the two of them walked in together, they saw a skinny young man, with a dusty face and thin cheeks, standing there being scolded. The one scolding her was a middle-aged woman, who was in her forties and had a somewhat mean face.
She looked very disappointed and said, "Tell me, tell me, what is your purpose this time?"
The man pursed his lips and whispered, "She's a bit strong. I don't think I can control her."
The middle-aged woman glared at him, "Can't you subdue her? You are a man, can't you be a little more manly? Besides, what's wrong with being stronger? Being stronger makes it easier to have children. And if your family is not well-off, how can you be so strong? How come you don't understand anything?"
"I don't want it anyway."
"You, you, you are deliberately trying to piss me off, right? This family is so well-off, yet you are not happy when you say that I am strong. Look at you, just look at how thin you have become in the past few months. You look like you are weak and your blood is deficient, but I still don't mind you being as skinny as a chicken. You are not ashamed to say that I am strong? Well, I am strong this time, but you can't control it. What was the last reason time? If you don't tell me the reasons, I will not acknowledge you as my nephew."
"The one last time was so beautiful." The young man drooped his eyes and searched: "It's so beautiful, I'm afraid I can't control it."
The middle-aged woman almost choked and said, "Okay, okay, you can't control it again. Everyone is happy to find a good-looking one, but you are not. Are you a pig? Then tell me, what about the best?"
Young man: "She stared at me, I was afraid I couldn't control myself..."
"Fuck, are you a big idiot? Why do I have a nephew like you? You look like a smart kid, but why are you so confused about the relationship between men and women? You can't control this or that. What kind of person do you want to find? You're not going to say you want to find someone from the countryside? Do you think you can control her like that?"
"The countryside... is not good either. The work in the countryside is more physically demanding and I can't control it." The young man rubbed his hands. He was still frightened.
"Fuck... crackle..."
The above are all national insults.
The middle-aged woman fully demonstrated her ability to scold people, and she scolded the young man. If she was not afraid of looking bad, she would have hit him directly. How angry was she?
I was so angry that I didn't care if there were people around me. I didn't care whether they could hear me or not or not.
Zhao Guihua and Aunt Wang looked at it and silently took a step back. Aunt Wang asked the street worker Sister Chen next to her in a low voice, "Xiao Chen, what is this...?"
Sister Chen: "It's Sister Xu's family matter. Her nephew, a good young man, just doesn't want to find a partner. She introduced several to him but none of them worked. When she asked him, he just couldn't get her to marry. You can see how angry she is. The key is that this reason is too outrageous."
Zhao Guihua and Aunt Wang ate the melon, nodded and stood aside silently.
The young man was scolded so badly that he finally stumbled back.
He went out, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and was still frightened, but he still rode his bicycle and left quickly. This person was none other than Zhuang Zhixi's "good" colleague, the film projectionist Xiao Xu.
The middle-aged woman on the street is Xiao Xu's aunt.
Xiao Xu rode his bike back and was in a good mood.
When it comes to marriage...to be honest, he really backs off. It's not that he has someone in his heart, but...he's really scared.
He used to think that women were soft and fragrant, and that marrying a wife was a good thing. But... after experiencing it, he realized that getting married might not be a good thing.
Although having another woman at home means someone can do the housework and manage the household, he is still worried.
This has many advantages, but even more disadvantages.
This woman is so easy to be squeezed dry by a man.
He shuddered at the thought.
Really, no nonsense at all.
He locked his bike and was about to enter the office building when he ran into Jiang Lu who was going downstairs to the toilet. The two of them were face to face. Xiao Xu panicked and his face turned pale. He turned around without hesitation and walked quickly in the opposite direction.
Jiang Lu: “…”
Is it that serious? Am I a tiger? Xiao Xu left quickly, hiding in the corner, patting his chest and gasping for breath. Seeing Jiang Lu leave, he rushed to the office. He looked like a guilty thief.
"What's wrong with you?" Sister Cui asked curiously.
Xiao Xu silently lay on the table and said, "I feel a little uncomfortable."
He really felt uncomfortable. He felt uncomfortable whenever he saw Jiang Lu. To be honest, the reason why he was like this was entirely because of Jiang Lu.
More than two months ago, his father broke his leg, and he went there every night to keep him company. In fact, he didn't have to do anything, just occasionally help his father go to the toilet. It was also there that he met Jiang Lu.
Jiang Lu grabbed him and dragged him into the bathroom, and he... did not resist.
Well, I don't really want to resist.
He was so happy.
It was a piece of cake for him, and since he was a man and nothing was wrong with him, it was a good opportunity for him to experience what it was like to be a woman. Of course he was happy about it.
He was quite happy, so Jiang Lu came to see him again the next day, and the two of them found another place to have fun, and fought for three hundred rounds.
The third day, the fourth day, the fifth day...
The production team’s oxen that plow the fields cannot be used in this way.
He was called out every night. He felt listless every day, with blue eyes and weak legs and feet.
His grandmother was even more ridiculous, saying that if this wasn't a new society, all the bad guys would have been driven away, and people would have thought he was addicted to opium. This guy lost weight too quickly. And he didn't have much energy anymore.
Xiao Xu knew why. He had to work for three or four hours every night.
He, he, he, can’t bear it anymore.
But Jiang Lu still looked for him. At this time, her love luck was no longer love luck, but like a story from Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.
In Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, the fox fairy, the female ghost, and... anyway, they all target men.
Xiao Xu felt like the scholar who was about to be sucked dry. For more than ten days, he could not escape Jiang Lu's clutches. At first, he thought he was taking advantage, but later he felt that he had suffered a great loss.
He wanted to refuse, but every time he started talking, Jiang Lu would kiss him...
He has a difficult time, he feels wronged, and he is not happy when people take advantage of him.
Although it seems that you are happy and enjoy the advantages, but...only others know the suffering.
Not to mention eating sheep eggs, he also ate cow whips.
No, no, he was really going to be drained. He persisted for more than half a month, less than 20 days, he finally couldn't stand it anymore, and confronted Jiang Lu, he wanted to break off the relationship with Jiang Lu. Jiang Lu stared at him at the time, which frightened him.
He didn't dare give Jiang Lu a chance to speak, even though he was in disarray and stumbled away.
From then on, whenever he met Jiang Lu, he would stay eight hundred miles away from him.
A young man in his twenties couldn't control this woman in her thirties.
It would only take a few minutes to drain him dry.
Some people, after having this experience, will like it very much, wishing they could do it every night... But Xiao Xu did it for more than half a month, nearly 20 days in a row. He really couldn't stand it, and in this matter, he was so calm that he could become a monk.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to find a partner now, he does want to, but the type he wants to find must not be similar to Jiang Lu at all.
Not even the same hairstyle is allowed.
He would think of Jiang Lu’s bravery, woooo.
His inability to subdue him is just an excuse. The bottom line is that this person is similar to Jiang Lu in some ways.
For example, the recent one has a good family background. Well, Jiang Lu also has a good family background.
And the one before that, the one before that has eyes like ginger reeds, and the one before that, the one before that, is as tall as a ginger reed...
The next one... was actually wearing the same little leather shoes as Jiang Lu.
no!!!
Xiao Xu now has Jiang Lu syndrome. A man who has never been drained of money won't understand! He lay on the table and took a deep breath. Only then did he realize that Zhuang Zhixi was not there. He quickly said, "Where's Zhuang Zhixi? Is he absent from work?"
Sister Cui: "He took the whole morning off and went to the hospital to visit a patient."
She said meaningfully: "His neighbor..."
Xiao Xu's heart skipped a beat. Jiang Lu was Zhuang Zhixi's neighbor, and it was said that he had a pretty good relationship with Zhuang Zhixi's wife. He suddenly became scared: "Neighbor, neighbor?"
"Bai Fendou, Bai Fendou's father fell down from the building."
"Shit!" Xiao Xu patted his chest: I hope it's not Jiang Lu.
"What's going on?"
Sister Cui, as the top loudspeaker in the factory, is well-informed. She said: "What else could it be? I heard that it was because of Wang Xiangxiu, the old white man. He is quite old, but he has many fantasies. He is still thinking about the pot while eating from the bowl. You don't know, he..."
The news from the hospital yesterday could not be concealed. There were too many people watching at the time. Not only did Sister Cui hear about it, but many people in their machinery factory heard about it. This news was a hot topic this morning.
To be honest, why the medical room of a large factory like their machinery factory with tens of thousands of employees is so poor is because they are too close to the hospital. Moreover, this hospital is a relatively famous hospital in the city, and many of the doctors there are considered big names.
So everyone is used to going to the hospital. If you have a cold or fever, you can just make a small cut and go to the factory clinic for treatment. If it is slightly more serious, you go to the hospital. After all, you feel at ease and have security.
It is precisely because of this that many of them are somewhat familiar with the hospital, so the news naturally spreads quickly.
This morning is enough for fermentation.
Almost everyone is discussing this topic. To be honest, everyone used to look down on Bai Fendou. The conditions were not bad, so how could it be like this? It was getting worse and worse. It would have been great if he could have worked in the security department, but now he is just sweeping the toilet.
But now when people think of this person, they feel that he is somewhat pitiful.
Who was he fighting for? For Wang Xiangxiu.
Who did they cut off their roots for? It was still for Wang Xiangxiu.
It was already difficult to get along with a widow, but I didn't expect that my father was actually unreliable.
This old white-haired guy used to be quiet and had a low presence. But he is really a dull person with many tricks. He can even think of such a disgusting thing. What can I say about his idea?
Everyone couldn't understand and was shocked.
In Bai Fendou's current situation, if the old man wants to have another child, he can find someone normally, and no one will say anything and will understand. After all, not having an heir is a big deal.
But he wanted to let his son marry a wife and he would be the groom, so...
It's so immoral.
This morning, everyone worked with great enthusiasm.
Working and gossiping together is really motivating.
"Do you remember the beginning of spring? At that time, there was a rumor in the factory that Wang Xiangxiu's mother-in-law seemed to be pregnant with Bai Fendou's father. I don't know if it's true or not. If it's true, then it's true... If I decided to stay at that time, would this matter not have happened?"
"I guess it's just a rumor."
"Not necessarily. It could be true. Wang Xiangxiu's mother-in-law was hospitalized at the time. Wang Xiangxiu was very busy. She had to go home to take care of the child and go to the hospital to take care of her mother-in-law. How do you know that she didn't go to the hospital to have an abortion?"
"Ah, if that's the case, then Old Man Bai is really at a loss. He didn't want a child then, and now he has no choice but to give birth to one."
"This old rascal deserves it."
"Hey, you guys said he has so many cunning minds. Now I think Bai Fendou has grown up to be a fool. Even his own father is scheming."
There were also those who somewhat understood the old man Bai's desire to continue the family line, saying, "He probably doesn't want the Bai family to be extinct, that's why he's so confused."
"It's not like he can't get married just because he's still single. Why is he thinking about his daughter-in-law? I heard that Bai Fendou cried miserably in the hospital yesterday."
"What's worse is that this old man has to drag his son down. His illness doesn't necessarily cost a lot of money. You see, our factory can reimburse most of the expenses, but he doesn't take nothing. Besides... this is too ugly."
"It's so pitiful to fight for one's life."
"miserable!"
There was a lot of talk about it in the factory, and the Women's Federation naturally heard about it too. They heard about Wang Xiangxiu kneeling down to propose to Bai Fendou.
Yes, that's what Zhou Qun said.
They also heard that the old man wanted to have the best of both worlds and wanted his son to be a cuckold.
It was Zhou Qun who said that.
The old man wanted to scare his son and forced him to agree to pretend to jump off the building, but he accidentally slipped and fell. They also heard about it.
That's right, it's Zhou Qun.
Also, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Su family earned about 60 yuan a month, and they spent a lot of money of the Bai family's father and son. This matter has also been spread.
Uh...no need to say more.
Zhou Qun.
It's him again, it's always him.
Jiang Lu is not as good at spreading gossip as her man Zhou Qun.
Tell me, is this a life-threatening thing?
But it doesn't matter if we don't know about these things. Since we know about them and Wang Xiangxiu is a member of the Women's Federation, the Women's Federation still hopes to go over to see Wang Xiangxiu and learn a little about the situation. The director of the Women's Federation said: "Jiang Lu, why don't you take Xiaofang over there. Give Wang Xiangxiu some advice. She has been really out of tune these days."
It seems like she's involved in everything.
Jiang Lu: "Okay, I can go over there, but..."
She told the truth: "Wang Xiangxiu definitely doesn't need us to get involved. I've been her neighbor for more than ten years, so I know her a little bit."
"She's been having a lot of sex issues lately. No matter what, let her calm down. She's really bringing shame to lesbians."
Jiang Lu: "Okay."
The women in the Women's Federation didn't have a deep relationship with Jiang Lu, but everyone knew that Jiang Lu had been married for more than ten years before she got pregnant, and her husband was now useless. If she couldn't keep this baby, it would be hard to say what would happen in the future.
So I took extra care of her.
This is also the reason why she was asked to go to the hospital this time.
"After you go to the hospital and talk to Wang Xiangxiu, go straight home from get off work."
This can also be considered as care.
When it comes to pregnancy, don't expect men to understand much.
But women understand best how hard it is to be pregnant.
Jiang Lu quickly packed up his things and left with Xiaofang.
After she left, an older sister sighed, "Jiang Lu's luck is really good or bad."
"I think it's because Zhou Qun has done too many evil things, so they have never had children. As soon as Zhou Qun was disabled, Jiang Lu was immediately found to be pregnant. Don't you think this isn't God's will... ahem..."
Some things are considered superstition and cannot be said.
But even though they swallowed it back, everyone understood.
"God probably saw that Jiang Lu was innocent, so he punished Zhou Qun, but he also left hope for the couple."
"Yes, yes."
"After Jiang Lu had a child, she became a completely different person."
"Zhou Qun is the same. He used to be so pretentious. But now he is very easy-going. He never delays you in doing anything you ask him to do. He does his job very efficiently. And he can still chat..."
Well.
At this point, everyone looked at each other and said in unison: "It's just a bit too much."
"Okay, this is fine."
"It's because Jiang Lu tolerates him that he is not a man..."
“Ahem.”
Everyone started discussing quietly...
Jiang Lu didn't know what others were talking about her. She went out with Xiao Fang and happened to run into Xiao Xu when she went downstairs. Xiao Xu came out of the toilet and turned around and went back in. Jiang Lu pretended not to see it.
In fact, she probably knew why Xiao Xu was like this.
It means that a scholar meets a female ghost.
But she didn't care what this person thought, she just wanted a child, and she found the younger Xiao Xu to increase the chances. Now it seems that it is really good.
As for the pregnancy, because she said in advance that she was pregnant, Xiao Xu didn't think that she did it on purpose, and just wanted to have a child from him. Xiao Xu was thinking, this woman is already pregnant, and she is still so fierce, what will she be like when she doesn't have it! Because Jiang Lu wants too much, Xiao Xu has a fear of Jiang Lu.
He didn't even doubt Jiang Lu's motives.
Jiang Lu followed the others for a while, and when she saw Xiao Xu finally couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to run away, Jiang Lu didn't force him.
What's a man? She just wants a child. Some families have many children and don't care. But Jiang Lu can't do that. This is her obsession! She has been married for more than ten years. She has suffered so much for the sake of a child. She even drank black dog blood and boy's urine... She must have a child.
Now that she had this, she felt calmer.
She only glanced in the direction of the restroom and said with a smile, "Let's go."
"good."
Jiang Lu ran to the hospital. Xiao Xu sighed heavily. He wanted to transfer, but it was difficult to transfer jobs now, not to mention that he was a skilled worker. Not every unit wanted him.
But if he wasn't transferred, he would see Jiang Luchou.
Alas! Jiang Lu didn't know Xiao Xu's distress, she was not happy that Xiao Xu was hiding from her.
She was originally thinking about how to break up with Xiao Xu, but she never expected that she didn't have to do anything, Xiao Xu would break up with him first, which was... not bad. Since she got pregnant, Jiang Lu stopped riding a bike. The hospital was very close, so the two of them walked directly there.
Jiang Lu came to the hospital and happened to see Zhuang Zhixi coming out of another ward. She raised her eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Why are you here?"
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "Come and take a look at Bai Fendou."
He said: "They are all neighbors. When something big happens in their family, we should always come and take a look."
Jiang Lu smiled: "You are thoughtful. What are you doing...?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "I'll go upstairs to find the doctor and ask about Uncle Bai's condition. Didn't I also work in the infirmary before? I'm quite familiar with this place."
Jiang Lu said, "Then go up. I'm here to see Wang Xiangxiu on behalf of the Women's Federation."
Zhuang Zhixi raised his eyebrows: "Then you have to hurry up, if you don't hurry up, they will be discharged from the hospital. I heard that they are discharging them today."
"What?"
Jiang Lu was shocked: "Didn't you say he hit his head? Can he be discharged from the hospital so soon?"
"It's been a week, I think he's almost recovered?" Zhuang Zhixi said casually, without saying anything more, and gestured: "I'll go upstairs."
Jiang Lu: "Oh, okay."
Actually, it would be better if they were not the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Su family.
To be honest, Aunt Su is definitely fine. Even though she was hit two or three times earlier and had a concussion and fell into a manure pit and drank manure! But after a week of recuperation, she has actually recovered.
It was Wang Xiangxiu, but Jiang Baohong was not gentle with her. Although Wang Xiangxiu was a physical worker, she was stronger than Jiang Baohong and fought back a lot. But at that time Jiang Baohong went crazy and Wang Xiangxiu still suffered a little.
She was really tickled and had her head banged against the wall many times.
Her wound hasn't healed yet.
But Wang Xiangxiu really wanted to be discharged from the hospital. If she didn't leave, she would feel embarrassed. She had been in the spotlight because of her affairs with men and women, and her reputation was quite bad.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Bai did this again.
She could understand why Uncle Bai was greedy for her, and she was very confident on this point.
But what she couldn't understand was why this idiot Bai Fendou said everything, which really embarrassed her.
Wang Xiangxiu was so angry that she wanted to be discharged from the hospital immediately and avoid the limelight.
Besides, she felt fine, so why should she give money to the hospital?
It would be better if she could take care of it at home. When Jiang Lu entered the room, she saw them packing up. Wang Xiangxiu asked, "Why are you here?"
Jiang Lu: "I am representing the Women's Federation of the factory..."
Jiang Lu came to see Wang Xiangxiu, it was just a formality, but the two brothers from the Zhuang family came to see Bai Fendou, it was not a formality at all. The two sides had reached an agreement very quickly. Although it was Zhao Guihua who proposed this matter. But when Zhao Guihua proposed it, she really didn't think about buying it herself or anything. It was just a matter of conversation, and she was also thinking about Bai Fendou.
Although Bai Fendou was stupid, he understood that there was a reason for doing this.
His father's condition meant that he could not work anymore. He went to the factory to complain while he was still in the hospital, and then he was fired in the name of medical treatment. This is the serious thing to do.
Otherwise, as time goes on, there will be more troubles.
If there is any change, the factory will talk about the old man's character, and it will be difficult to do this job. This matter is not without precedent. Bai Fendou saw someone from the Yu family this morning.
Everyone in the Yu family was scrambling to get the job left by Yu Baoshan.
They had made a lot of noise in their family, but they didn't expect that the factory would not let their family take over. Although it is true that factories cannot easily fire employees nowadays, Yu Baoshan made a big mistake. The factory didn't dare to offend him before, after all, the little devil was difficult to deal with.
But now we don’t care anymore, we will just treat it as a dismissal.
Otherwise, how could he fake his death? The Yu family was not satisfied and went to the factory to make trouble, and quarreled with the factory security department. Now they are all injured and come to the hospital.
That was why Bai Fendou was willing to do it when the Zhuang brothers came to him. He was inclined to solve the problem quickly, so as not to let the factory learn from the textile factory. If he was deducted from his job and dismissed, he would suffer a great loss.
The two sides went back and forth and finally came to a price of three hundred and fifty.
This number is not low, but it is within the expected range.
After all, this is a formal job.
Zhuang Zhixi came down from upstairs and returned to the ward. Bai Fendou asked, "How is it?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "The doctor said that your father is not over the critical period yet. After he recovers, the best case scenario is that his upper body can move but his lower body cannot. If we are unlucky..." He may just die and won't survive these few days.
That goes without saying.
Bai Fendou sighed, wiped his face, and said slowly: "If you are unlucky, you may not survive these few days?"
Zhuang Zhixi nodded. Actually, the doctor had said these things to Bai Fendou, but Bai Fendou always felt that they had offended the hospital and was afraid that these people would scare him. Zhuang Zhixi happened to be familiar with the hospital, so he simply asked him to ask again.
Seeing that the conversation was about the same, he suddenly slammed the table and said, "I will go to the factory this afternoon. If everything goes well, I can go through the formalities to take over tomorrow!"
Fortunately, theirs was the only occupied bed in the ward.
The main thing is... the hospital didn't dare to arrange anyone to come, so they put him in a ward alone to avoid any more accidents.
Accident hot player.
"So fast?" Zhuang Zhiyuan didn't expect it.
Bai Fendou: "If we don't hurry up, what will happen if my dad really dies? I can't even pay the medical bills."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: “…” That’s true.
Zhuang Zhixi looked at his brother, and Zhuang Zhiyuan met his gaze. The two exchanged looks, and Zhuang Zhixi spoke: "Brother, go downstairs and buy some lunch. I want to chat with Brother Fendou."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "Okay."
Seeing Zhuang Zhiyuan leaving, Bai Fendou asked, "What do you want to say?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Brother Fendou, actually, my brother is willing to pay an extra thirty yuan."
Bai Fendou's eyes lit up.
Zhuang Zhixi said sincerely: "We have been neighbors for so many years, and you know what kind of person my sister-in-law is."
Bai Fendou didn't quite understand.
Zhuang Zhixi said calmly: "My eldest sister-in-law is a person who can do anything you ask her to do. If there is something going on at home, she will really rush to do it. Not to mention cleaning the toilets of a factory, even if it is to clean all the toilets in the city, as long as she is paid, she can do it. Working people are the most glorious, no matter what job they do. However, my eldest brother doesn't want her to clean toilets."
Bai Fendou understood: "Is your elder brother afraid of losing face?"
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and shook his head: "That's really not true. My eldest brother doesn't want her to clean the toilet because the time for cleaning the toilet is too flexible. After all, this job requires one to arrange one's own time, and my eldest brother doesn't want this. You also know what kind of people are in my eldest sister-in-law's family. They are all incompetent and never satisfied with what they eat. Except for not doing human work, they do everything. And my eldest sister-in-law is a brother-supporting demon. You know what a brother-supporting demon is, right?"
Bai Fendou was surprised and said, "Who came up with this phrase? It's so fitting."
"My mother."
Zhuang Zhixi said bluntly: "Besides my mother, who else could it be?"
Bai Fendou: "...That's something Aunt Zhao could say. What does what you said have to do with work?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "We all think that her family wouldn't dare to come to the compound to take advantage of my sister-in-law. But they can go to the factory. My eldest brother wants my sister-in-law to work in the workshop, so that even if her family comes to the factory to look for her, my sister-in-law won't have so much time to deal with it, and the workshop director won't easily let people go to the gate to chat. But if my sister-in-law sweeps the toilet, she can allocate her own time, and she might get involved with her family again. Another thing is that this time when my sister-in-law goes to work again, my eldest brother will come to collect the salary on her behalf. To be honest, my eldest brother is also afraid that my sister-in-law will be fooled and go to collect the salary to her family. But if she is in the workshop, her time is restricted and she has no free time, so these problems will not exist."
Bai Fendou suddenly realized and finally knew why Zhuang Zhiyuan had hidden away.
Zhuang Zhiyuan, a man who values his reputation so much, would be extremely embarrassed if he had to say this himself.
But he also said: "It's a bit embarrassing to collect the salary for my wife."
Zhuang Zhixi: "There is no other way. What else can we do? We have already lost a regular job, how can we lose another one? If we don't guard against it, we will be cheated by Liang Meifen's family again."
Bai Fendou said sympathetically: "It's not easy for your family to have such a fool."
Zhuang Zhixi: "There's nothing we can do about it. If it were an outsider, we wouldn't say this. It's because we've known each other for so long and you know my family's situation that I'm telling you the truth."
Bai Fendou was a little happy. He was jealous of the banker because both of the banker's men had married.
But now looking back, this daughter-in-law isn't that good either.
He is a traitor.
"I'm happy to help, but the factory won't listen to me about this matter, right?"
Zhuang Zhixi smiled gently and said, "It depends on how you say it. Although you hit someone this time, you got into trouble. If it wasn't for Wang Xiangxiu, none of this would have happened. Why should she get the money and not be affected in any other way, but you have to bear such serious consequences? If you hadn't fought for her, would you have been hit by Jiang Baohong and have no descendants from you? If you hadn't been no descendants from you, would your father have had those thoughts? It's wrong to have such thoughts. But think about it, if there were no previous causes, would there be such a result? No matter how unreasonable Uncle Bai is, he wouldn't have made such an outrageous suggestion, right?"
Bai Fendou gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Besides, everyone in the factory said that although what you did was not considered a heroic act, it was also a good deed. Since it was a good deed, and you were in such a desperate situation with medical expenses, we changed your father's position so that you can sell it to get money to pay for the medical expenses. The factory can understand, right? You and your son encountered such a big thing, but you didn't think of asking the factory for help, but thought of a way out on your own. The factory can always understand, right? Some people kneeled at the factory gate to make trouble in order to ask the factory for help. This is not unheard of! You did this because you didn't want to add burden to the factory. And think about it, it's actually good for the factory. Cleaning the toilets for 25 yuan a month, the workers in this workshop went there first to be apprentices. The salary of an apprentice is only a dozen or so. In fact, it also reduces the burden on the factory. As for the lack of people to clean the toilets, some of them have bad character and are not good at the workshop. Shouldn't they be eliminated to clean the toilets? They have been working for many years and have not been promoted. Their character is not very good. It is better to let more capable people go in instead of keeping such people in the workshop. After all, my sister-in-law graduated from high school."
Zhuang Zhixi didn't mention Wang Xiangxiu at this time.
But this is what he meant implicitly.
Bai Fendou: "Yes! Yes, yes, yes! Why did I have to suffer such a big offense? Wang Xiangxiu also got benefits, why! She should also be asked to clean the toilet."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Although these few incidents... let's not talk about these few incidents. Let's just say that she took so many days off and her skills are so poor, don't you think I'm right?"
As for the matter of promiscuous relationships, everyone has determined that Wang Xiangxiu is absolutely not clean.
The first one was the toilet incident in Yu Baoshan.
There is also the incident of Deputy Director Cai’s small warehouse.
Although it seems to have calmed down, some of it is because there is no evidence, and some of it is suppressed by others. It seems that nothing can be done to Wang Xiangxiu, which is a moral issue. These days, such things are dealt with strictly, but there must be evidence.
Rumors are not okay.
But they can choose not to mention this and just say that Wang Xiangxiu is not suitable for the job. Is that okay?
Zhuang Zhixi: "Brother Fendou, look at this matter..."
Bai Fendou: "I'll make trouble!"
Zhuang Zhixi raised the corner of his mouth. Sometimes, a random punch can kill the master.
If it were someone else, Zhuang Zhixi would not say these things, but Bai Fendou can.
Because this guy is famous for being "reckless" in their factory. He is a reckless man who can even tell others about his own father's affairs. This kind of person is exactly the kind of person that everyone is most reluctant to be involved with.
As long as he doesn't say too much, Zhuang Zhixi believes that he can get the desired result.
Sure enough, Bai Fendou agreed: "Don't worry about this matter, but if I can succeed, I want four hundred!"
He said anxiously, "I know four hundred is a bit much, but the work is so intense, one person per job, and if you work in a workshop, you can get a raise if you pass the exam. It's not like sweeping toilets, where you get twenty-five after ten years, and twenty years after twenty years. There's no raise at all."
Zhuang Zhixi hesitated and said, "Wait for me to discuss it with my elder brother?"
Bai Fendou: "Then you better hurry up."
"Hurry up what?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Brother, four hundred."
Zhuang Zhiyuan's eyes widened a little more and his breathing became a little faster. This was really a lot of money.
If Leung Mei-fun really went to work, she wouldn't be able to make back her earnings in two years. Because she was an apprentice in the first year, her salary was low. But in the long run... He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and said, "Okay, I promise."
Almost using all my strength.
Bai Fendou: "Then you guys just wait for my news. I'll try my best. If it doesn't work, I'll just say I'm unlucky and don't have this fortune."
"Thanks."
Bai Fendou waved his hand: "It's okay, you guys go back, I'll eat quickly and go to the factory in the afternoon."
He also hopes to get the money early.
"OK."
Zhuang Zhiyuan and Zhuang Zhixi did not affect Bai Fendou, and the two of them went downstairs and left the hospital together.
These matters were discussed by both parties. Zhuang Zhiyuan felt a little embarrassed and said, "I still need you to talk about my affairs."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Who makes us brothers?"
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "I actually didn't expect that he actually agreed."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Because he can get more money, and he can also laugh at your joke."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: “???”
Zhuang Zhixi: "If you go to collect the salary for your wife, think about it, people will definitely talk about you. He will laugh at you and say that you have worked in vain. You have always been jealous of your peers in the hospital. You are the best among them. It used to be Zhou Qun, but Zhou Qun is no longer good and has a lot of scandals. So naturally you are the only one left. You have a not-so-good wife, and you have to go to the factory to collect the salary every month. It's embarrassing to think about it. He will be happy."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "Why are you jealous of me? I still have you, Yang Lixin, and the Sui family..."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Yang Lixin is a live-in son-in-law, and his sons all take their wives' surnames. Bai Fendou is a man from the city, and he wouldn't look down on such people. He won't be jealous of Yang Lixin. As for me... there's a big age gap between you and me. Only you are three years younger than him, so we can barely be considered the same age."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "If they are jealous of me, then they won't help me? They won't sell me the job."
Zhuang Zhixi glared at him, "Bai Fendou is in a hurry to sell his job. How many people do you think can take out three or four hundred at any time? Besides, he is just jealous, not completely evil. He does not know how to do things, but you are often away on business, so you have the least conflicts with him, and you have not provoked him. He will not target you when he is jealous. So how should I put it? He is jealous, and he wants to see you in a good mood, but he will not harm you. That's probably the situation. If the sister-in-law goes to clean the toilet, she has more free time. After all, she just needs to clean it, and she doesn't have to worry about whether it is done in the morning or at night. If she spends more time with her parents, and she has to subsidize her parents, then you can't go to the factory to collect wages on her behalf. How can he see you in a good mood? He has no bad intentions, but he also wants to see some fun."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: “…”
He sighed: "You have a clear grasp of it."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I understand Bai Fendou better than I understand you."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: “…”
He was speechless: "You are still not my brother."
Zhuang Zhixi: "If I weren't your brother, I wouldn't be telling Bai Fendou all this. How can I be free?"
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "Thank you, brother."
Zhuang Zhixi: "You should thank me. Who knows, it might get out that I said something bad about your sister-in-law."
Zhuang Zhiyuan smiled: "Isn't this what we discussed? Is this a way of showing weakness? I will explain this to your sister-in-law when I get back. This is what we discussed."
"You should have told her that I turned into a noisy gossiper because of you and your wife. Look at Bai Fendou. He's fine now. He's back on track. He'll definitely tell others that I was saying bad things about my sister-in-law behind her back."
But when these words come out of his mouth, it has a better effect on Bai Fendou than when they come out of his mouth.
So this is all he can do.
"You have to thank me."
Zhuang Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I'll treat you to a bath tomorrow."
"Haha, it seems like no one can afford to go."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "I'll rub your back, okay?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "I went with my dad, and he took the initiative to help me rub my back."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "...Then I'll buy another old hen. Your wife is pregnant, so she can also get some nourishment."
Zhuang Zhixi: “That’s pretty good.”
He sighed: "I sacrificed my reputation for you."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "Okay, okay."
He smiled and said, "You are really quick-witted. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have reacted and adjusted my work. I really want to thank you for making this happen."
Zhuang Zhixi: "It's definitely not possible for ordinary people, but the factory won't make things difficult for Bai Fendou in his current state. If they make things difficult for him, what if he goes crazy? Bai Fendou is in an extremely miserable state now. If he can't hold it anymore and drags someone down with him, there will be fights and killings in the factory. Besides, Wang Xiangxiu has done too many things, which is not right. There are many people in the factory who don't like her. If her job is adjusted, she will be the easiest target. I think this will be easy. Even if Bai Fendou doesn't make trouble, I guess the factory will have to find a way to transfer Wang Xiangxiu out of the workshop after a while. There are so many male employees in the workshop, and the factory must be afraid of something happening. After all, this person's style..."
Zhuang Zhiyuan sighed, "Who would have thought that the only victims in this incident would be Bai Fendou's family, and the Su family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got the upper hand. It would be good for them to learn a lesson."
Zhuang Zhixi said faintly: "His family... It's hard to say in the future. I never believe that Deputy Director Cai will let it go."
It can be said that Wang Xiangxiu lost more than she gained.
She seemed to have gotten the money, but Zhuang Zhixi felt that Deputy Director Cai would definitely take revenge on them.
Be it Wang Xiangxiu's family or Bai Fendou, there is absolutely no way they can stay out of it.
Everyone will pay attention to what you don't do now, but it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
Zhuang Zhixi felt that Deputy Director Cai would definitely cause trouble.
After all, this guy is not a decent person.
If this person is a good person, he might let it go, but because this person is not a good person and he suffered a great loss in this matter, he will definitely not let it go. However, there is no need to say these words now.
Zhuang Zhixi: "I'm hungry, let's go quickly."
"become!"
Although it was just the first step, and they didn't know what Bai Fendou would accomplish next, the two brothers had achieved something. They were both very happy and hurried home to have lunch.
Zhuang Zhixi: "I'll go to work this afternoon and keep an eye on it."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "You... If I don't buy three old hens, it won't be worthy of your efforts."
Zhuang Zhixi: "It's true that they are not worthy. Three are missing."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: “…”
