For example, Bai Fendou, his reputation is not very good. In addition to licking the widow, his biggest notoriety is that he is a man killer, and he has ruined three of them.
As it turns out, evildoers will be punished by evildoers, and he himself was destroyed by others.
Now his father is in trouble again. It's really been happening step by step, and it feels like this family is just unlucky.
Although he had a bad reputation, he was really unlucky. When he came to the factory and cried, he was really solved. How did this happen? If an honest person said this or that, it might not be effective.
The more he messed around, the more effective he was. The leaders in the factory were not happy to offend him. After all, he was too reckless. They knew what he could do. Besides, although there were some bad rumors about his old man, he couldn't just be fired without any evidence.
Since there is no one in his family to take over, he has to make some changes.
Theoretically, there is no such thing as buying or selling jobs, it's all about succession, but in fact, some people are just selling their jobs. Anyway, I won't say it publicly, whether I am willing to give my job to my aunt or uncle is my personal business.
No one cares about this because everyone does it this way.
Who is in charge? Who is in charge of this? Who is in charge of that? There are many people who do this. Should they all be in charge? But no one offends this person.
The factory was actually willing to let Bai Fendou sell his job privately to someone else, otherwise he would come to the factory to make trouble again if he didn't have money to pay for his medical expenses. This is not about money, this is fucking humiliating.
A dual-income family in a large factory with 10,000 employees, with two workers at home, has no burden and has to rely on borrowing money to live.
When people from other factories heard this, they all laughed at their factory.
Bai Fendou has already brought a lot of fame to their factory, so the less trouble there is, the better.
So this time when he came to the factory, the factory considered it and agreed. As for the matter of changing jobs, this was a bit of a dilemma, and he was a little hesitant. But Bai Fendou said, "I want to take over my cousin's wife, who is a high school graduate. She used to be a worker in a textile factory. She will work in the workshop, and her understanding will definitely be better than many people. I don't say that some comrades have crooked thoughts all day long, and they have not made any progress after working for seven or eight years. They are also a drag in the workshop and a termite."
Bai Fendou added, "People like Wang Xiangxiu, who has worked for so many years without any promotion and has been causing a lot of trouble outside, should not be allowed to work in the workshop and affect other comrades! She is not better than me at all. I have to clean the toilets, so why should she be in the workshop?"
Several factory leaders looked at each other, wondering if this guy had turned his love into hatred? However, if Bai Fendou mentioned someone else, the factory leaders might still be a little hesitant, but when it came to Wang Xiangxiu, they were not happy to let her work in the workshop. She had a bad style, and working in the workshop would involve others, which would cause disharmony in other people's families and affect unity.
Of course, if Wang Xiangxiu was a level 3 or 4 worker, the factory might not have transferred her. She had always been a level 1 worker, and it was only at this level that she was promoted reluctantly. The factory took care of her because her family was burdened with too much financial burden.
The head of their workshop has complained many times. Now everyone is hardworking and diligent. Who would like someone who holds back?
Moreover, if she didn't do a good job, it meant that other people had to work harder. Because of this, the workshop director was very dissatisfied and had complained many times. This time, Bai Fendou brought it up. The leader didn't make things difficult for him.
Several people lowered their heads to discuss for a while, then nodded and agreed: "Okay, we will consider this matter, you can go back first."
"Oh no, don't think about it, you have to promise me, if you don't, I won't leave!"
Bai Fendou is a scoundrel: "You can't protect Wang Xiangxiu. What if Wang Xiangxiu slept with you?"
Once these words were spoken, they were extremely destructive.
"Bai Fendou, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"How can I be talking nonsense? Then tell me, how did he get promoted to the next level when his level is so low? Did you have some kind of deal behind the scenes?"
At this point, Bai Fendou thought of the twenty yuan that Deputy Director Cai took when he slept with Wang Xiangxiu. It was not low.
He said, "Are you, are you..."
"Bai Fendou, we are not that kind of people. You are insulting us. We will never do such a thing. Regarding the transfer of manpower, we basically agree. But we have to wait and communicate with the workshop director."
Bai Fendou: "The workshop director must agree. Wang Xiangxiu always told me that the workshop director disliked her and bullied her just because she was not good at work. She was so mean and asked me to help her vent her anger."
"Fuck! Uh... I mean... I'm not saying bad words. Just talk about being angry."
Several factory leaders suspected that Bai Fendou had turned his love for Wang Xiangxiu into hatred, which was true, but it was not as simple as love turning into hatred. It was that he had been obsessed with her for many years, but in the end he found out that this woman was a liar. And she was not the kind of good woman in his mind, but she could make money by seducing men.
This person's heart suddenly collapsed in Bai Fendou.
This time, it was different from the last time because Jin Lai beat him.
Last time, it could be said that it was for the sake of the child, as a mother would protect her child. But this time it was different. This time Bai Fendou actually saw the two of them doing this and that in the room, as well as what Wang Xiangxiu said.
Those words were like a loud slap in Bai Fendou's face.
He lived a very busy life for Wang Xiangxiu, but in Wang Xiangxiu's eyes, he was nothing but a waste. He hated himself, but he hated Wang Xiangxiu even more.
People never blame themselves for being stupid, but rather blame themselves for meeting the wrong person.
In addition, when they were in the hospital together, he also overheard the conversation between Aunt Su and Wang Xiangxiu. From that time on, he only hated this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. So, when he exposed Wang Xiangxiu, he was not polite at all.
"During every quarterly technical competition, their director would look down on Wang Xiangxiu and never treat her well, so Wang Xiangxiu cried to me many times. Aunt Su, Wang Xiangxiu's mother-in-law, also told me that Wang Xiangxiu often cried until her pillow was wet because of being scolded. That person was bullying them, an orphan and a widow. It would be great if their director could get sick or injured so that he could rest at home for a while, and Wang Xiangxiu would feel relieved."
"That wasn't said by Wang Xiangxiu, it was said by Wang Xiangxiu's mother-in-law, right?"
Bai Fendou nodded. "Although it was her mother-in-law who said that, they are a family. Wang Xiangxiu and her mother-in-law have a better relationship than real mother and daughter. They are of the same mind. And later Wang Xiangxiu herself kept talking about it. She said that their director was unlucky. I actually knew at the time that they wanted me to teach them a lesson, but I pretended not to understand."
"You are a righteous man."
Bai Fendou: "That's not the reason. It's because I definitely can't beat this old guy."
Factory leader: “………………………”
Endless silence.
He is indeed a fool.
But then I thought about it, it made sense. Their workshop director was tall and strong. He was a fitter by profession and had very strong hands. He was quite capable. Even the security department didn't dare to jump in front of him.
"You are very honest."
Bai Fendou: "I'm not stupid either."
Factory leader: “…”
You have no credibility when you say this.
Isn't this stupid?
"Okay, we know about this matter, you can go now."
Bai Fendou was stubborn: "Change jobs."
The deputy factory director had never seen such a person before, but he still waved his hand and said, "Let's go."
Bai Fendou: "No, you have to give me a definite answer. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to work with others. Are you guys capable of this?"
Deputy Factory Manager: “Okay, let’s go.”
In fact, this kind of thing could be left unspoken, but this guy insisted on speaking it out directly. However, everyone really didn't want to argue with him anymore, so they simply agreed and drove him away.
There are so many important things to do in their factory, who wants to care about these trivial matters?
However, Bai Fendou was very happy when he got the news. He did not return to the compound, but came to the Propaganda Department: "Zhuang Zhixi, Xiaozhuang!"
Zhuang Zhixi came out: "Brother Fighting?"
Bai Fendou: "It's done."
Zhuang Zhixi immediately said: "Then my eldest brother and my sister-in-law will come with you tomorrow morning to handle the formalities and give you the money at the same time. Is that okay with you?"
Bai Fendou: "OK."
The two of them didn't say anything more, and Bai Fendou left quickly. Sister Cui was a nosy person, so she asked, "Xiao Zhuang, what did Bai Fendou want to see you for?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "He asked me to pass on a message to someone."
He won't publicize anything that hasn't been confirmed.
He sat down and lowered his head to sort out the documents. Their Propaganda Department did not have a lot of work to do, but there were quite a few miscellaneous tasks.
"Why."
Sister Cui moved her position and came to Zhuang Zhixi's side. Zhuang Zhixi: "???"
Sister Cui lowered her voice and said to him, "Xiao Lin, the announcer in the radio studio, has found a connection to be transferred to the cultural troupe. His job is now vacant. If you are interested, go ask your leader."
Zhuang Zhixi: “Huh?”
He looked at Sister Cui in surprise. Sister Cui winked at him and said, "I knew it in advance. You know what's going on."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Thank you."
Sister Cui: "Well, what are you thanking me for? Anyway, we can't transfer someone from outside. It's just our internal competition. You are young and better than us who are older. If you are interested, you should prepare early."
Zhuang Zhixi: “Okay.”
He quickly considered whether this transfer was a good or bad thing.
After a brief consideration, he decided that the transfer was a good idea. Although there was no difference in salary, it was easier to get ahead as a broadcaster than as a clerk in an office.
His eyes flashed and he lowered his head to continue writing.
"It's over. It's over. It's over." Their Xiao Tang came in in a daze.
There are actually only two single people in their Propaganda Department, one is the projectionist Xiao Xu, and the other is the clerk Xiao Tang.
Xiao Xu was like a chain smoker, and he still hasn't recovered. He had no energy, and was thin and weak. But Xiao Tang was quite energetic. He said in a tearful voice: "Wow, the flower of our infirmary is going on a blind date."
"The flower of the infirmary? Who is it?"
Xiao Tang's eyes widened: "There is only one person in this infirmary who can be called the flower of the infirmary, and you don't know this? Of course it's Tao Yuye. I received news that she is going on a blind date this weekend. Woo woo woo~ Why is she going on a blind date?"
"Isn't this normal? Hasn't Tao Yuye been seeing you all along? If you are interested, just take the initiative to confess." Someone joked.
Xiao Tang: "Do you think I haven't confessed my feelings to you? She said that her relationship with me is purely gay. You said... woo woo."
He lay on the table, feeling even more hopeless than Xiao Xu.
I have to say that these two unmarried young people in their Propaganda Department are not in good condition.
Zhuang Zhixi laughed, thinking of how Bai Fendou had once been attracted to Tao Yuye. But when he thought about it, it was clearly not long ago, but it felt like a lifetime ago. There have been so many things going on recently.
But fortunately, it has nothing to do with him. Zhuang Zhixi never delays after get off work. He has to pick up and drop off his wife every day, so when he sees that the time is almost up, he starts packing up. Everyone has gotten used to this guy.
"Xiao Zhuang, when is your wife's due date?"
Zhuang Zhixi: “January.”
He said: "Around the New Year, if the two cubs are in a hurry, they will probably give birth to a puppy; if they are not in a hurry, they will give birth to a piglet."
"Oh, what a rush! You said that the New Year is a busy time."
"Who says it's not?"
He didn't delay and quickly went downstairs. He rode his bike to the door and met Tao Yuye. Tao Yuye smiled at Zhuang Zhixi and said, "Brother Zhuang, you are going east, right? Can you give me a ride?"
Although the two were not very familiar with each other, and she was transferred here only after Zhuang Zhixi was transferred, Zhuang Zhixi had a good relationship with Doctor Wang, Tao Yuye's aunt, so they knew each other and just greeted each other when they met.
Zhuang Zhixi: "That won't do. If someone sees me driving you, they'll gossip about you. I'm not afraid of gossip, but it would be bad if my wife heard about it. Let's go, I have to pick someone up."
He rode away quickly without giving Tao Yuye a chance to say more. Tao Yuye pursed her lips unhappily and said, "I just wanted to get a ride, and I came to you because you're married. If I had gone to a young guy, people would have misunderstood me. You're a married person, who would have misunderstood me? Really!"
She didn't want to affect her reputation, so she immediately added a sentence.
The gatekeeper today is still gossipy Zhang San. Zhang San said with a smile: "Nurse Xiao Tao, why don't you wait for me? I'll take you wherever you want to go. Xiao Zhuang doesn't dare to give you a ride, his wife is very powerful. This guy is henpecked."
Tao Yuye: "What nonsense! I have seen Xiaozhuang's wife. She is so gentle and weak. How can you say that? It's really too much."
Zhang Saner: “……???”
He looked at Tao Yuye and said, "Weak? Are you serious? Weak?"
He scratched his ears and looked at Tao Yuye again. It turned out that she was not joking but was very serious.
He bared his teeth and said, "His wife can beat up several men by herself, easily. When his wife caught a thief on the bus, she kicked the strong man and broke his bones. Weak?"
I guess this matter has become a hot topic in their factory.
But the security department knew about this. Most of the people in the security department were retired soldiers, and there were also many such people in the public security system. Their work overlapped, so they had a lot of interactions.
As for the matter concerning Zhuang Zhixi's wife, their entire security department knows about it.
The reason why the gossip about others is not spread as widely as others is that everyone does not want to cause trouble. If the tigress... ahem, if the wife of the tigress comes to the door, they will be beaten for nothing.
And if you really can't beat a woman, it would be embarrassing if it gets out.
In order to avoid unnecessary rumors, people rarely spread the news and just talk about it with each other.
Zhang Saner was happy to tell her this and that because he liked Tao Yuye.
He said, "I'm telling you, people shouldn't take risks. Isn't that how you concluded that she's weak?"
Tao Yuye: "I have seen it."
When Tao Yuye went to their compound to give Bai Fendou an IV drip, she saw Zhuang Zhixi's wife once. She was very cute. Even though she was a woman, she had to say that Zhuang Zhixi's wife was pretty.
She said, "Are you saying that out of jealousy?"
Zhang Saner: “…No.”
Tao Yuye: "Anyway, I don't believe it. Oh, I'm in a hurry. I won't say any more. I'm leaving now."
She left in a hurry. Zhang Saner looked at Tao Yuye's back and said, "Little Nurse Tao is not only pretty, but also simple. Where can you find such a good woman?"
He looked at Tao Yuye infatuatedly, and thought of Nurse Tao who was also going on a blind date. He sighed sadly and muttered, "Why doesn't Nurse Tao like me? I am also a very good young man."
It's really sad.
Zhuang Zhixi didn't know about other people's gossips. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. There were so many gossips in their compound. These little gossips were nothing. Tao Yuye was just an ordinary girl who wanted to get married. This situation was not strange at all.
Who doesn't want to marry someone better? Is there anyone who wants to live a hard life? No, that's not the case.
Compared to the people in their compound, this is really nothing.
When Zhuang Zhixi and his wife got home from get off work, they saw that the Su family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had been discharged from the hospital. They didn't want to stay in the hospital any longer. Besides not wanting to spend money, it was also because it was a bit embarrassing to still be in the hospital.
As soon as Aunt Su came back, she lay down on the kang and didn't move.
Wang Xiangxiu was also having a headache. After all, she had been hit against the wall many times by someone pulling her hair. Even after a week of rest, she still didn't feel well. Both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law were lying down. It was already evening, and the children were nowhere to be seen.
I don't know where he ran off to.
In the evening, every household started cooking. Smoke rose up and the aroma of food wafted in. Wang Xiangxiu struggled to sit up and scolded in a low voice: "Why hasn't that stinky girl Hu Huihui come back yet?"
She looked out the window and said, "Who will cook if she doesn't come back?"
Wang Xiangxiu didn't want to get up and cook. As a patient, she naturally wanted to rest more.
But at this hour, Hu Huihui had not returned, and neither had the three Jinlai brothers.
Wang Xiangxiu: "I wonder if Hu Huihui took them out to eat. Why haven't they come back yet?"
Aunt Su curled her lips in disdain and said, "They don't have much money, so how can they afford to eat out? Besides, Hu Huihui wouldn't be willing to spend money. She's just an average person."
She felt that Wang Xiangxiu was really feeling good about herself and was dreaming, otherwise how could she think of this.
But she spoke softly in front of Wang Xiangxiu. She said, "I guess these kids are just running around outside. Hu Huihui hasn't gotten off work yet."
Wang Xiangxiu: "This girl is really something. She eats our food, drinks our drinks, and lives in our house, but she doesn't even know how to help with the work. Look at the house she built. I'm really worried. How could I have such a poor relative?"
She ignored the fact that it was Hu Huihui who gave her the money.
She also wanted a relative like Uncle Lan, who was very rich. She sniffed and smelled meat coming from the direction of Uncle Lan's house.
His family is cooking meat again.
Uncle Lan's family lives a really good life. Now that I think about it, Luo Xiaohe is really lucky.
How could a woman who had been promiscuous before marriage and could not bear children now have such a life of eating meat every now and then? Besides, they are so old, what's the point of eating meat? It would be better to give it to their family and give her son a good supplement.
Wang Xiangxiu was salivating over the stir-fried pork, but she was also salivating over Uncle Lan’s wealth. She wondered how much money this old man had.
She said, "Mom, if you had been with Uncle Lan, it would have been great. Now Luo Xiaohe is so lucky. Why did she do that? She's just an ordinary woman, not even as good as you. What a pity. If you had taken action at the beginning, then Lan Sihai would definitely not have escaped from your palm. You are much better than Luo Xiaohe. Our family should not have chosen Uncle Bai at the beginning. We originally thought that Uncle Bai had helped us for so many years and we couldn't get rid of him. Now it seems that this kind of person deserves to be a widower for the rest of his life. He is so useless and frivolous. Your sincerity is wasted. It's a pity that you gave up Uncle Lan for him."
He spoke it as if it were true, without even thinking about the fact that Lan Sihai looked down on Aunt Su at all.
However, Wang Xiangxiu has great confidence in her mother-in-law and in herself.
Wang Xiangxiu knows her own charm, and she has always had some understanding of her popularity among men.
But, believing in your own charm is one thing.
This matter is still very annoying if you think about it carefully. This white uncle actually fell on her, which is really infuriating.
Now that Bai Fendou has broken up, Uncle Bai's side has become like this too. We can't rely on him anymore.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She said, "This is so annoying. Why is everything going wrong?"
Aunt Su: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
She gently took Wang Xiangxiu's hand and said, "Xiu'er, the more times like this, the more you must not be impatient. If you are impatient, you will lose your composure. You are the backbone of our family. If it weren't for you, my three children and I would have to go out to beg for food. You are our support. If you lose your composure, it won't work."
Wang Xiangxiu: "Mom, I'm really upset. Although we got some money, Uncle Bai is unreliable and Bai Fendou has been offended. You said that we will lose two sources of income in the future. How can I not be anxious?"
"Mom believes in you. You are the most capable person. You have held on for so many years. Mom has confidence in you, and you should have more confidence in yourself. I know you have suffered a temporary setback. But I know you can succeed. Look, what does Bai Fendou have? He has nothing. Then he will definitely need to find someone to take care of him in the future. We have three children. He is the most suitable. He should just be angry for a while. Don't provoke him now. You can coax him back in a few days. Mom believes in your ability. Besides him, there are others. Isn't Uncle Lan very well-off? What about Luo Xiaohe? Is he still a match for us, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? Yes, there is also Zhuang Zhixi... He is not good enough. He has given all his salary to his wife. He has no money."
Although Zhuang Zhixi is handsome and young, he can't have fun without money.
"Yang Lixin... Yang Lixin's wife is also in charge of the accounts, but she is not good enough. Zhuang Zhiyuan is good enough, but he is often away on business trips and is never at home... Zhou Qun is useless again... The quality of the men in our compound is too low."
The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law started arguing and making plans.
What they didn't know was that Hu Huihui had already appeared in the ward. She sat on a stool, looked at Bai Fendou, and said, "I know it's not a good idea to ask you to sell your ancestral property, but think about it, you're short of money now..."
"I'm not short of money anymore." Bai Fendou said firmly: "I will never sell the house, and private transactions are not allowed."
Hu Huihui: "You can give it to me as a gift."
She smiled: "I'll pay you as usual. And think about it, with your dad in this state, you can't live separately from him. You have to live together and take care of him. Wouldn't it be nice if you could sell me a house?"
Although she smiled, she was also wondering why Bai Fendou was no longer short of money.
Theoretically, he should be short of money.
Bai Fendou said seriously: "I really can't sell the house, you should ask someone else. I have to keep two rooms in case I get married in the future. If I have two rooms, the chances of finding a partner will be greater."
He said, "I know you don't like it, but I still want to find a wife."
Hu Huihui: “…”
The whole city knows that you have failed in your efforts. Are you looking for a wife? Are you sure what you said is normal? Can you find one? Hu Huihui hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you think it's possible?"
Bai Fendou: "I want to work hard."
Hu Huihui: "Okay, think about it. If you want to sell a house, feel free to contact me."
Bai Fendou looked up at Hu Huihui and said, "You are different now than when you were in the yard."
He is a bit reckless and does things without considering the consequences, but he is not completely stupid. Hu Huihui's state gives people a very different feeling.
He said: "You...have you always looked down on us?"
Hu Huihui: "No, I actually have a boyfriend. But he despises my poor family background and doesn't want to marry me, so he keeps dragging it out. My family can't afford to drag it out any longer, so I have no choice but to move out."
She spoke half-truthfully, lowered her eyes, thought quickly, and said, "I have no choice. I want to find a place to live, but my cousin requires me to go on a blind date, otherwise they won't take me in. You also know how difficult it is to find a place to live now. I have no choice...but I didn't lie to you. No matter who asked me, I told them that I didn't want to date for the time being, and that's why."
Bai Fendou: "I knew it, I knew they were trying to get benefits!"
When he thought about Wang Xiangxiu wanting to introduce Hu Huihui to her, he felt that this woman was a cunning person from head to toe.
He said firmly: "I really don't know how to sell the house, please go."
Hu Huihui: "Okay, think about it."
She stood up and said, "There's no rush, take your time."
But she also wondered where Bai Fendou got the money from. Was it related to the batch of things Yu Baoshan mentioned? If Bai Fendou took it, did he secretly cash it out? They still had to go to the ghost market to find out if anyone had sold gold and silver jewelry in the past two days.
At the same time, Zhuang Zhiyuan counted his family assets. He had saved a total of 190 yuan over the years.
Liang Meifen sat aside and said, "It's still halfway."
Zhuang Zhiyuan nodded. In the early years, their wages were all handed over, and he could only save a little extra money. It was only after the family split up this year that he saved money. He stood up and said, "I'll go borrow some money from my parents."
Miriam Leung nodded.
Zhuang Zhiyuan found a piece of paper and started writing seriously.
Liang Meifen leaned over and saw that it was an IOU. She twitched the corners of her mouth, but in the end said nothing and just sighed softly.
Zhuang Zhiyuan came to the main house with the IOU. Zhao Guihua didn't bother to be polite with him. Since her son wanted to write an IOU, she didn't say no. She just put the IOU away and said, "Okay, here you go."
Zhuang Zhiyuan borrowed two hundred and twenty yuan.
In addition to the four hundred yuan he would need to buy work tomorrow, he still borrowed a little more and left ten yuan for his family as a reserve.
He borrowed the money, returned to the house, looked at his wife's expectant face, and said, "If your parents and your brother hear the news and come to you, just tell them the truth. You don't care about money or take salary for this family."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "Also, I can tell you the truth, my parents have been fed up with your parents. As long as they show up, my mom will definitely not be polite. If they don't want to be found, they'd better keep quiet."
Upon hearing this, Leung Mei-fen shrank her shoulders.
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "You also know our mother's fighting ability. She won't lose even if she fights against a shrew like Aunt Zhou."
Mei-Fun Leung said firmly: "I understand!"
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "We have a job, so our children may not have to go to the countryside in the future."
Speaking of this, Liang Meifen agreed: "That's right, going to the countryside is really not a good idea. Do you know the boy from the family in our alley? He went to a relatively better place with connections. Oh my god, when he came back to visit his relatives some time ago, I saw that he was at least ten years older. That boy is the same age as Zhuang Zhixi. He looks older than you."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "Going to the countryside to do farm work means you have to endure hardships."
Priscilla Leung: "I didn't think about it before, but I won't in the future. Anyway, we all have to have jobs. This way we can give to the children when the time comes."
Thinking again, if she had not given her previous job to her brother, she would not have to spend 400 yuan to buy a job this time.
Four hundred dollars! She felt numb just thinking about it.
Woo woo woo, that's too much.
This wasn't obvious when she heard about it, but when she saw the stack of money on the table, she felt regret for the first time.
If she hadn't given the textile factory job to her brother, would she have saved the four hundred?
Even if she doesn't eat or drink, she will have to do this for two years.
Priscilla Leung: “Ah.”
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "Don't sigh, we are husband and wife, we should support each other. You can take care of the family and keep it in order. Just do this. But I have to take care of the money. You are soft-hearted and can't manage money. Look, haven't I saved a lot these days? I don't spend money recklessly, I save money."
Priscilla Leung: “Okay.”
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "Oh, by the way, is your brother married?"
Liang Meifen's face looked a little ugly at this time, and the corners of her mouth twitched. She said, "We're married."
Zhuang Zhiyuan was surprised: "Why haven't I heard that you were there?"
Liang Meifen: “…”
She was silent for a long time, then said, "They didn't invite me."
She was very able to argue with her brother about the gift, which completely offended her brother's wife. Her parents didn't think she was considering her family at all, but instead scolded her for meddling in other people's business.
Either make three turns and one sound, or shut up.
Her brother pointed at her and scolded her, saying that she was a troublemaker.
His parents also told her not to go back unless necessary.
At that time, Mei-Fun Leung was very upset, but what was even more upset was that she didn't even tell her that her brother was getting married. She was not invited because she had offended her brother's wife. Of course, if she had money, she would still be invited even if she had offended him, but wasn't it because she had no money? His parents also saw this, so they simply didn't invite her.
If she was invited, she had no money to give as a gift, so she could only give a few cents, and then make the new bride unhappy. How worthless would that be? So no one told her about the marriage at all.
Zhuang Zhiyuan perked up when he heard this: "Didn't they tell you?"
He provoked, "They are going too far. You have worked so hard for so many years, and they are really ungrateful. Your brother's job is still yours! That's 400 yuan!"
One job can be worth four hundred.
Liang Meifen felt even more distressed. She covered her chest, leaned on the table, and said, "My sister-in-law is not a good person."
"I think your brother is the worst. Your sister-in-law doesn't know how much you give to the family, and she doesn't know that your brother took your job, but your parents know, and your brother knows. Your brother still blames you for this, then he is really not a human being!"
He cursed again: "You are worse than a beast."
He was just trying to stir up trouble, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He said, "No, I have to tell mom. They didn't tell you about their marriage, which shows that they don't consider you a family member. I'll ask mom to talk to them."
Liang Meifen's face suddenly changed, and she quickly said, "Forget it... After all, they are my parents, and they even paid for my education."
"Then you are also giving back to them. How much have you given to them over the years? Besides, your parents are the elders, your brother is nothing!"
He said directly: "I will call my younger brother. He has a good relationship with Zhang San and others in the security department of the machinery factory. He will help us when the time comes. We will go and settle the score with them together."
Liang Meifen was so frightened that she was stunned. She quickly said, "Forget it, forget it."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "How can we just let it go? They went too far."
Liang Meifen: "I will ignore them in the future, really ignore them. If they come to make trouble, I won't indulge them, but don't... embarrass yourself."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "They are not afraid of losing face, so why should we be afraid?"
“No, no, no…”
The two of them were mumbling loudly. Mingmei was lying on the bed reading a book. She looked up and said, "What are your brother and sister-in-law talking about? Why do they sound so weird?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "I don't know, but it's okay."
He said: "My elder brother still knows what's going on."
He asked, "Did the child bother you today?"
Mingmei shook her head: "No. They are pretty well behaved."
Zhuang Zhixi put his hand to his belly and listened to the baby's movements. Mingmei also put down her book. She said, "Hey, do you know Jiang Baohong from our unit?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "How could I not know that?"
Mingmei: "She filed for divorce."
Zhuang Zhixi: “Ah?”
He looked up in surprise and said, "Didn't she go to the Northwest with her man?"
Mingmei shook her head and said, "No, she applied for a divorce and came to the factory to get a letter of introduction. I really didn't expect it."
"Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately." Zhuang Zhixi sighed.
Mingmei pursed her lips and said, "You can't say that, right? If her man is having an affair with another woman, why should she follow him through thick and thin? If he is really a good man, then it would be a bit unethical for them to flee when disaster strikes. But in this case, her man is not a good guy."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Others may say so, but don't forget, I went to find out about this woman. She can get to where she is today entirely because of her man's power. She herself is a primary school graduate, with little education and no ability. She got to the top because of her man's background and the merits of others. Since she has enjoyed all these, it's meaningless to say that she is innocent now."
As soon as he heard about the problem, he went to his mother-in-law's house. His mother-in-law knew a lot.
He was originally thinking about how to avoid this woman, but he didn't expect that the development of this matter would be so sudden.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Don't worry about her, but I think even if she gets divorced, she won't have an easy life in the future."
Mingmei: “That’s right.”
Although this person has been in their unit for a short time, she has done a lot of messy things in other units. She is also arrogant and high-profile, so she must have offended a lot of people. Her husband used to be the deputy director, and no one dared to mess with her.
After all, it's too easy to play tricks on people in this position.
But now it’s different. Her man got into trouble and was taken away to another place.
Now she wants a divorce, which seems to be a way of clearing the relationship. However, in the eyes of many people, she is not only tasteless but also adds insult to injury.
Most of these men think from the perspective of their own kind. Looking at Jiang Baohong, he definitely doesn't like her.
Zhuang Zhixi deduced that Jiang Baohong's life would not be easy, but he did not sympathize with such people. Zhuang Zhixi was not an emotional person. Even if he sympathized with Bai Fendou, he would not sympathize with Jiang Baohong.
Bai Fendou at least grew up with him.
Good or bad, we have known each other for more than 20 years, since we started wearing open-crotch pants.
Jiang Baohong... is nothing! This man wants to step on his wife to get to the top. Zhuang Zhixi really despises him.
The couple also started chatting, and each family was bustling with activity. Zhuang Zhixi said, "I see..."
"Milk! Wow..."
A loud cry was heard, and Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei moved very quickly and immediately rushed to the window. They looked out and saw that the three children of the Su family had bruised faces and noses again.
You know, they were beaten before, and it took a week to get better, and it was only in the past few days that they got better. Why did it happen again today? Aunt Su and Wang Xiangxiu rushed out, hugged the child and cried: "What's wrong? Who beat you? What's going on?"
Jin Lai cried, "We haven't eaten meat for a long time... woo woo."
Tonglai was obviously younger, and he said directly: "My brother took us to the front street to steal meat, but we were caught and we were all beaten..."
He rubbed his eyes: "Fortunately we ran fast, otherwise they would have taken us to find our parents..."
Aunt Su cried and hugged the child: "How can these cruel people eat all the food for themselves? It's nothing for the child to take a little food!"
When the people who heard the voice heard this, they immediately exchanged glances and were all unhappy.
"Aunt Su, whether your children stole or touched things is none of our business, but if they dare to come to our house to steal, I don't care about that. I will break their legs directly."
"My family, too."
"Everyone's family is not well-off, why should I give it to your family?"
Everyone used to think that Aunt Su was a nice person, but recently her true nature has become more and more apparent. It's really not acceptable.
"You misunderstood, you really misunderstood..."
"Don't mention those tricks. Anyway, we don't tolerate thieves in our family!"
“My family can’t stand it either.”
Aunt Su cried miserably.
Everyone stopped watching the fun. Who didn't know about his family's problems? Anyway, they just cried and cried. After everyone warned them, they turned around and went home.
Wang Xiangxiu cursed in a low voice: "These damn people have no conscience and no love."
She cursed again: "Why doesn't that bitch Hu Huihui come back?"
"Mom, I'm hungry."
"I'm hungry too."
Wang Xiangxiu couldn't wait for Hu Huihui to come back to work, so she said, "Mom will make steamed buns for you."
“Okay!”
"Eat steamed buns, eat steamed buns. This steamed bread is really not tasty."
"that is."
Zhuang Zhixi retracted his head and said, "Look, it's strange that this can teach a good child."
Mingmei stroked her belly and said, "We must not educate our children like this."
"Yeah, that's right."
In fact, the Su family themselves did not expect that their education method actually helped other families. Because their family did not care about their children at all, their children became rats, cockroaches and bedbugs in these streets.
Everyone who mentioned this would silently shake their heads and sigh that this child would be destined to go to jail in the future.
That's too bad.
Because of them, other kids on their street were beaten less often. And they were also much more sensible.
Because when the parents see the situation of that family and think about their own family, they have to teach their children well, for fear that their children will be like the three brothers of the Su family. If the child is not educated when he is young, it will be too late to educate him when he grows up.
This is absolutely not possible.
It was also because of this that, more than a decade later, when they talked about it again, they found that the success rate of children in their compound, even in this street, and in the surrounding streets was very high. The closer they were to the Su brothers, the more promising they were.
Can you imagine?
There are more than 20 children in this alley. Except for those who are going to the army, all of them have been admitted to the Zhengbajing School, or at least a technical secondary school. You have to know that children of their age are assigned jobs when they graduate.
This is equivalent to a stable job.
The calculation is shocking.
Except the Su family, except the Su family.
The other children can really be considered to be more or less promising.
Many years later, when people talked about it again, they felt that it was all because the Su family's children were so unruly that they scared the neighbors. They had seen what it was like to raise a child poorly and educate him, so they put some effort into it.
Compared to this era where people just let their children run free, they still put a lot of care into their children.
In fact, most children lack concentration, but if parents put in effort, their children will achieve very significant results.
Of course, this is all later.
The current situation is that every parent goes home to educate their children.
Even Zhuang Zhiyuan and his wife stopped talking about their parents' home. Instead, they went to their children's room and gave them some spiritual counseling.
The two children, Little Tiger and Little Swallow, looked at each other in confusion.
It's like this in his family, and it's the same in other families.
Of course, the parents of each family also took the initiative to educate their children, telling them not to play with Jin Lai's children and not to take them home. These three naughty children really dared to steal things. The children all remembered it in their hearts.
In fact, they didn't really play with the three Jinlai brothers. They relied on the fact that they were three brothers, all boys, well-fed and strong, and often ganged up to bully others. No one liked such children. So they really didn't play with them.
Children's affairs are just minor episodes. Everyone has become numb to Jin Lai and his friends stealing things. This is not the first time for them, so it would be strange if they didn't steal.
The important thing is business.
The next morning, Bai Fendou brought Zhuang Zhiyuan and his wife to the company. Zhuang Zhiyuan was mainly accompanying them, while Liang Meifen followed Bai Fendou to the personnel department to handle the formalities. After the formalities were completed, Zhuang Zhiyuan also handed over a huge sum of 400 yuan to Bai Fendou.
Bai Fendou breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhuang Zhiyuan actually breathed a sigh of relief.
His wife was assigned to the third workshop and became a fitter apprentice. In the first year as an apprentice, her salary was 15.5 yuan. After one year, she became a regular employee and her salary was adjusted to 20.5 yuan. After becoming a regular employee, she could apply for a grade test, which was held every two years. If she passed the grade one test, her salary would be 25.5 yuan.
For example, Wang Xiangxiu is at level one. Her salary has increased in recent years, all of which is due to her years of service, but her level has not increased.
If it rises to level two, it will be thirty dollars and fifty cents.
Therefore, only by taking real exams and relying on your skills can your salary increase quickly. Otherwise, if you only rely on your length of service, your salary will increase by 50 cents every two years.
For example, now, Mei-Fun's job is 15.5 yuan. Although it is nearly 10 yuan less than the 25 yuan for cleaning the toilet, both Zhuang Zhiyuan and Mei-Fun think that it is worth it to earn less now.
Because there is no future in cleaning toilets, but as a fitter, as long as you work hard and study hard, your salary will continue to increase in the future.
For example, Zhuang Laonian is a level six riveter, with a salary of over 60, heading towards 70.
It can be seen that the higher the level, the higher the salary.
Liang Meifen still has confidence in herself, and she will not show any weakness when it comes to work.
To be honest, when Leung Mei-fen joined the factory, it caused quite a stir. It wasn't because Leung Mei-fen was so important, but because no one expected that Bai Fendou would "give up" his father's job so quickly.
Some people who need to work at home are really beating their chests and stamping their feet.
They really wish they could seize this opportunity earlier.
After all, no one expected that taking over the old man's job would actually lead to working in the workshop. Of course, even if it was in the toilet, there were still many people who wanted to work there. The workshop was even better, as it had a future.
In short, everyone hated themselves for being so busy watching the fun that they didn't think about this.
But don't be fooled by their beating of their chests. If they were really asked to spend 400 yuan, they might not be able to come up with it. Mingmei said that their family's income could cover at least 95% of the population, and this was not groundless at all.
Nowadays, many families have one worker to support the whole family. There are very few families like Mingmei's family, where the salary is high and there are many workers.
It's not easy to save money.
Bai Fendou took the money and thought about what would happen next. He had already thought about it. If his father continued to be like this, he would have to discharge him and save some money. As soon as he walked to the door, he was grabbed by Li Si'er from the security department. Li Si'er said, "Bai Fendou, you are such a person. You said you sold your job without telling me. My family can also buy it. We used to be in the same department. Do you think I can lose you?"
He has a relative who also wants to find a formal job to avoid going to the countryside.
Bai Fendou: "I gave it to my cousin's wife."
What cousin's wife? Everyone knows that she is the sister-in-law of Zhuang Zhixi from the Propaganda Department.
They had never heard that Zhuang Zhixi and Bai Fendou were related, they were just from the same compound.
These are all nice things to say.
He said, "Look at you, how much can his family give you? Do you know that your work can be sold for at least 200!"
Bai Fendou scratched his ears: "How much?"
Li Sier: “Two hundred!”
He gritted his teeth and said, "Two hundred and fifty is fine. Since we have a good relationship, I can give you two hundred and fifty."
Bai Fendou: “…”
This is treating him as a fool.
Two hundred or two hundred and fifty, that was the price two years ago. Now, in order to avoid going to the countryside, many people need to find a job. A formal job is not that expensive. Bai Fendou touched the four hundred yuan in his pocket and thought to himself that no matter what, Zhuang Zhixi and his brothers were honest people.
They didn't treat him as a fool! What he hated most now was that they treated him as a fool.
He gave Li Si'er a cold look and said, "Do you believe me or not, I will kick you to death?"
Li Si'er's face changed, he quickly covered a certain part of his body and took a few steps back.
Bai Fendou: "Get lost!"
Then he walked away.
These people are really going too far. Who do they think they can be fooled?
Li Sier looked at Bai Fendou's back, pouted, and said, "The swan meat you can't eat is the shoes I wore!"
However, thinking of Bai Fendou's reputation as a male killer, he still didn't dare to chase after him.
How should I put it? The dealer gave Bai Fighting 350 yuan, which was a little higher than the average price, but not much higher. But if we add the 50 yuan they agreed to transfer to another job,
This adds up to four hundred, which is not a low amount for a job.
Basically, many people cannot afford this amount of money.
But Zhuang Zhixi analyzed it for everyone at home, and it was the most appropriate to give this amount of money. Because they had to find a way themselves, fifty yuan would definitely not allow Liang Meifen to go from sweeping the toilet to working in the workshop. But Bai Fendou's current state, the factory was not willing to let him cause trouble, so it could be done.
So it's worth it to give these fifty dollars to Bai Fen.
That's 400 yuan, which most people can't afford, so Bai Fendou won't feel like he's been cheated. So he won't regret it later. Everyone lives in the same yard, and if Bai Fendou regrets and makes trouble, it will always be annoying.
The current number is just enough to solve the problem and is appropriate.
It was exactly as Zhuang Zhixi thought.
Li Si'er also wanted this job, but he asked for 200 yuan, or at most 250 yuan, which immediately made Bai Fendou angry. He felt that this person looked down on him. Perhaps because Bai Fendou sold his job, several co-workers actually went to the hospital to see him.
Of course, Bai Fendou has sold his job and they won't want it anymore.
They came here to inquire about the price.
This can also be used as a reference for yourself, right? If one day you have to give up your job, you will know how much money you should ask for.
But Bai Fendou was smart at this time and didn't say anything. Why should he tell the truth? These people didn't treat him very well. He counted four hundred and smiled proudly... Now even if he paid the medical expenses, he would still have most of it left.
hey-hey.
Su family.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Su family were also the first to hear that Bai Fendou had sold his job to Zhuang Zhiyuan and his wife. They were shocked, but also happy. Aunt Su excitedly held Wang Xiangxiu's hand and said, "Xiu'er, you can't save face at this time. Bai Fendou likes you so much! Just give him a chance."
She added, "He's a bachelor, how can he spend money? Let's help him."
Wang Xiangxiu nodded excitedly and said, "Okay."
She bit her lip and said excitedly, "I wonder how much he sold."
Aunt Su: "No matter how much it is, it is definitely more than the compensation that boss gives you. After all, this is a formal job."
She smiled: "We have money to spend now."
"Yeah yeah."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had good intentions, but they forgot that today's struggle was in vain, not yesterday's struggle.
They want to get what they want? Haha!
