Summer came in the blink of an eye, and the children in the compound also started their summer vacation.
The children are all away from home during the summer vacation. Tiger-headed Little Swallow, Li Weiwei and a group of other children take bamboo poles to the woods to catch cicadas and roast them for food. They are very happy.
Adults sweat all day long, and the little ones feel uncomfortable too. The baby has prickly heat under his neck. Zhao Guihua applies prickly heat powder to the baby every day. The little baby smells good. Now the child has learned to roll over and sit up, but he can't sit for long. He will wobble after sitting for a while.
But the little guy can already express his thoughts. He stretches out his little hands early in the morning, points outside, and babbles, wanting to go out.
The little kids also like the older kids very much. Every time they see Tiger Head and Little Swallow, they will scream. Every time this happens, Little Swallow will touch the little baby's little hands and say, "Be good, sister will go out and grab some good food for you."
Once Xiaoyanzi comforted them, the two children smiled widely.
Xiaoyanzi added: "Then you guys just wait for your sister at home obediently."
The two children laughed again, and Little Swallow took the opportunity to escape.
When the two children saw their sister running away, they didn't react at first, but soon they started to cry loudly, which made Zhao Guihua so angry that she cursed. The children were not happy at home, so she pushed them out and put them under the eaves at the door, which was shady.
Zizhen hasn't come to be a babysitter recently. She found out she was pregnant a few days ago and is more than two months pregnant. Daqiang doesn't dare to let her take care of so many things. After discussing with her, he decided not to come to "help". But she still comes here every day. Although she lives in the next yard, she is more familiar with this place. Besides, there are many people here and they get together to chat. sit here.
She would bring some needlework and sit over, and everyone would gather together. Zhao Guihua would push her two little ones, Aunt Zhou would push her baby Qijin, and Aunt Wang and Li Fang would bring their fat girl Zhenzhen. Even He Lan came with her daughter Qingqing.
Although his daughter Qingqing was nicknamed Xiaobao, everyone is used to call her Qingqing and would not call her by the nickname Xiaobao.
There are many children named Xiaobao, and it's easy to get confused if you're not careful. Qingqing is still the cutest.
Five children are gathered together. Although none of them can speak, they keep babbling. It seems that the children have their own little rhythm. When the children are put side by side, it can be seen that the children really look like their parents!
As long as the parents are around, they can immediately tell whose child is whose.
The two little ones in the Zhuang family almost combine the advantages of Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei. They are the kind that when Zhuang Zhixi is with them, you will feel that they are very much like Zhuang Zhixi, but when Mingmei is with them, you will feel that they are very much like Mingmei.
Fortunately, both the couple are good-looking, and their child is fair and tender.
Li Fang's fat girl looks a lot like Li Fang and Aunt Wang, and she is very big. When you put these children together, you can tell at a glance that she and Li Fang are from the same family. Xiao Qijin looks like Jiang Lu. Jiang Lu is a beautiful type, and her son looks like her, fair and clean, and you can tell at a glance that he will grow up to be a handsome boy.
This made Aunt Zhou very happy. She just kept saying that her child would grow up.
Zhou Qun is actually not good-looking, but his son looks like Jiang Lu, which makes him much better than him.
Every time Zhao Guihua heard this, she had some guesses in her mind, but she couldn't say anything bad. However, Zhao Guihua felt that Jiang Lu could be called a "life heroine", as if she had really lived a very smooth life through many coincidences.
If she didn't know some things in her previous life, she would never think about it even a little bit now.
Of course, even if she knew something, she would never say a word. One should not be a moral person.
The children in the compound gathered together in front of Zhao Guihua's house. This was the permanent place for chatting in their compound. Usually it was at the junction of the front yard and the back yard, but there was no eaves there, so it was more sunny in the summer.
In all, the porch on Zhao Guihua's side of the front yard is wider, so naturally everyone wants to come over.
Each child had a stroller. Zhao Guihua's family had a double stroller, but other families also used single strollers. No one had expected this at first. Raising children at that time was like this, and it was relatively rough. But seeing that Zhao Guihua's family had a lot easier because of the stroller, who wouldn't envy her?
My arms are sore from holding the baby every day.
No, everyone would rather spend some money.
Now each of the babies has a small car.
Xiao Tuantuan and Xiao Yuanyuan were in the same car, and they were used to each other's presence. Xiao Yuanyuan held her brother Tuantuan's hand and played for a while. The children were put together, so it didn't interfere with the adults' work. Zhao Guihua was sewing a caterpillar.
Aunt Zhou looked at what Zhao Guihua was doing and asked in confusion, "What... is this?"
Zhao Guihua: "I'm sewing a toy for my child. Can't you see? It's a caterpillar."
Aunt Zhou: “…”
Others: “…”
Everyone was looking at the caterpillar, and it was hard to describe it. Aunt Wang was not polite and said, "Guihua, can't you sew a caterpillar?"
Zhao Guihua said confidently: "Then I have to learn it too!"
It's not that she doesn't want to sew cute kittens, puppies and bunnies, but she also has to have the skills. Her skills are basically just sewing a caterpillar. It's long and simple at first glance.
She said, "I can't sew complicated things, but caterpillars are good."
Aunt Wang: “…”
She was silent for a moment, then said, "The caterpillar is nice, but can't you make it a uniform color? Look at your caterpillar, tsk tsk."
This caterpillar is made of small pieces of cloth. It looks like a caterpillar, but it is covered with patches. Not only that, the colors are all over the place. It is really unbearable to look at, and it is so ugly.
Zhao Guihua: "I deliberately looked for all kinds of colors. Do you know how much effort I put into finding these colors? I had to ask Aunt Lian for help to get so many fresh colors. Babies like bright and vivid colors. I can find the same color, but the gray caterpillar baby will definitely not like it."
Zhao Guihua had a basis for what she said. Her great-granddaughter, Hu Tou's daughter, liked all kinds of ugly but brightly colored dolls when she was little. It is said that most children are like this. They all like bright colors.
This is said to have some scientific basis.
But she is an old-fashioned person and doesn't understand much.
But even though she doesn't understand, she can still do it.
Zhao Guihua felt that she didn't need to understand many principles. She just needed to know that this was the right thing to do to make the baby happy.
Zhao Guihua: "I've finished this one, and I'm planning to make another one, otherwise one won't be enough for two kids."
"Is this true? Kids like something so ugly? You didn't say that on purpose because you saw they can't talk?"
Zhao Guihua rolled her eyes at Aunt Zhou and said, "You don't understand."
She still works hard.
"So what do you put inside this caterpillar?"
Zhao Guihua: "Put some scraps of cloth that you don't need."
She sighed, "What do you think? This caterpillar has a lot of capital."
Aunt Wang nodded.
Li Fang said, "That's better than buying ready-made ones. If the baby likes it, we can make one too."
Even though it was the 1970s, dolls did exist, but most families couldn't afford them. Well, it wasn't that they couldn't afford them, but they wouldn't spend money on such useless things.
Aunt Zhou never wanted to fall behind, so she immediately said, "Then my family has to do it too."
He Lan looked at her daughter and nodded.
In just a few months, his child has become a fair, cheerful and smiling baby. Before leaving the Fan family, his little Qingqing didn't even have the strength to cry, and her cries sounded like a kitten.
She didn't dare leave the child at home because the wet nurse actually pricked the child with a needle. She saw it without even blinking.
It's terrible.
This is a newborn baby! They don't even let it go!
So even though she had to work before she was out of confinement, she still had her child tied to her body. At that time, her child felt like every day was his last. She was so afraid that one day she would see her child gone.
Thinking about those old things, she pursed her lips.
Fortunately, she is living a good life now.
It's only been more than four months now, but the child no longer looks like he may die at any time. Instead, he is lively shaking his hands and kicking his feet. The little guy is happy every day.
"Aunt Zhao, who can I find to exchange this little piece of cloth for?"
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be found everywhere on the streets, and they can't even collect enough of it at home.
Aunt Zhao: "If you are interested, go find Aunt Lian. She has many connections."
"Okay, I understand." He Lan also knew Aunt Lian. Two months after she came here, she saw that other families were raising chickens, so she naturally asked Bai Fendou. Bai Fendou, an old man, didn't understand these things, so it was Zhao Guihua who introduced Aunt Lian to her.
Now Bai Fendou and He Lan also raise two chickens. They have not violated any regulations. By raising chickens, they have eggs to eat at home.
Farmers in rural areas raise chickens and use eggs as hard currency, but they eat them at home. Zhao Guihua also suggested a new way for several people, which is to go to the hospital gate. Many people who come from the countryside to resell eggs will go to the hospital gate.
After all, patients need to be nourished, and it is easy to wander around here and sell things. So there are also some brave people who sell things here. As long as you pay attention, you can meet them every now and then.
They didn't dare go to the black market, but they were not worried at all when going to the hospital.
So everyone is still very grateful to Zhao Guihua. If she didn’t say it, no one else would have thought of it.
"If you want to eat fish, you can also go to the river." Wang Zizhen also shared his little discovery with everyone: "I went fishing with Daqiang a few days ago and found that someone didn't take the fish away after catching it, but gave it to someone else. I guess they must have secretly exchanged the fish with each other."
The so-called exchange actually means selling it.
She said: "I have seen it once or twice before, but I didn't think much of it at the time. It was only when Brother Daqiang reminded me that I finally understood."
"Ah, then I have to go check it out. Jiang Lu's milk is not enough. I want to buy some crucian carp to make more milk."
"Isn't your kid a big eater?"
"Who says it's not true? But do you think he can still not be full? Oh, Guihua, I saw you steamed eggs for the child."
Zhao Guihua: "My two are already half a year old and need to eat some complementary food. Otherwise, they won't have enough. In the hot summer, Mingmei gets irritated and doesn't have enough to eat. Your family is OK, with only one child, but I have two. If I don't feed them something else, they won't be full. I also feed them with formula milk."
Fortunately, the child is not picky about food. He enjoys eating breast milk, milk powder or egg custard.
A good doll that is not picky about food is a cute doll.
"Then it seems my family will have to do the same."
He Lan: "We have been feeding them mixed together for a long time at home."
After all the calculations, as long as Li Fang is not affected, Li Fang is proud of herself. She has always had a low sense of presence, so it is rare for her to be so arrogant. Of course she is proud of herself. How much money can she save by not eating milk powder? Milk powder is much more expensive than malted milk, and it is not easy to buy.
She was now thankful that she was strong.
Aunt Zhou also sighed and said to Zizhen: "Zizhen, you see, nutrition during pregnancy must keep up. Not only do you nourish your body now, but when the baby is born, you will be well-nourished and you will be able to feed yourself. If you rely on milk powder, it will be very expensive. Supplementing now is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone."
Wang Zizhen nodded: "I understand."
She said: "Brother Daqiang often stews fish for me."
Both the husband and wife like fishing, so there is no shortage of fishing in the house. Sometimes they even give some to neighbors like the Zhou and Zhao families.
"You have to eat meat, too."
“We bought some at home.”
Wang Zizhen smiled and said, "I have bought all the meat coupons for my family every month."
When she was still Wang Zhaodi, she would never have thought that she would marry such a good man and live such a life in the future. At that time, she never even dared to think about getting married, because she knew that she would not marry well, and even if she got married, she would probably jump from one hard life to another.
She didn't even have the courage to rebel against her parents, otherwise she wouldn't have gone into the city.
She knew exactly why she came to the city.
At that time she would only obey and not resist.
It was only after coming to the city that she gradually became different.
Although there were many conflicts and tempers in the compound, and fights happened every now and then, even female comrades did not completely obey men. Mothers-in-law did not set up special rules to torture their daughters-in-law.
Even someone as evil as Aunt Su didn't do anything.
Another thing, she had to admit, was that Aunt Su Gou Lanxiang scared her.
This woman made her realize that even a biological mother might not be really good to her child.
Su Pandi is still in jail.
If a person does not have his own thoughts and does not save himself, no one can help him. And as a daughter, you don’t have to listen to your parents in everything, because parents may not love their daughters wholeheartedly, and they will also make calculations.
Especially people like his who are so focused on their son and ignorant.
Because of this, she slowly rose to prominence.
She feels that life now is really good.
She and Daqiang lived together, and they both went to work in the morning. Yes, Zizhen regarded her work as a maid for two families as work. Daqiang received a total of thirty-seven yuan in salary and subsidies.
This was a little more than she had known before she got married.
Their moving team actually received subsidies.
She also had 20 yuan a month. Daqiang would take out 7 yuan for lunch. He was a laborer and couldn't eat badly, otherwise his body wouldn't be able to bear it. The remaining 30 yuan was given to Zizhen. She would take out 15 yuan for household expenses.
There is still thirty-five yuan left from the income of the two of us, so we save this money.
In fact, his family could not spend all the fifteen dollars of household allowance, because both the couple were hardworking. They went fishing, wandering around the mountains, and they had good food. There was always some leftovers, so they saved them and bought things for the house.
Oh yes, two things happened in the meantime. One was that Wang Zizhen wanted to return the fifty yuan that Aunt Zhou had taken out to her, although this was agreed upon when he brought her here. It was said at the beginning that even if she could not have children, she would still be given fifty yuan when she returned home.
But Zhou Qun had never done anything to her, and she lived well in the Zhou family, so she was determined not to let Aunt Zhou take the money. Therefore, she was determined to return it to Aunt Zhou, but Aunt Zhou would definitely not want it.
Wang Zizhen and his wife had no choice but to go to the black market, exchange some cloth coupons, and buy fabric to make a set of clothes for Aunt Zhou, including a top and a pair of trousers. He also bought a pair of shoes.
This whole set of clothes, plus the money for the cloth coupons, cost less than forty, about thirty-five yuan.
Aunt Zhou was very happy to accept it this time. Wang Zizhen would go to the Zhou family every now and then to send them fish or some dishes, and they got along quite well with each other.
Another thing is that Aunt Zhao Guihua was just like a fortune teller, and she guessed correctly that Su Zhaodi's in-laws did come to visit. Su Zhaodi's mother-in-law was Wang Zizhen's aunt whom she hadn't seen for 800 years. This aunt came to pretend to be a relative, and she wanted to get benefits from him.
Fortunately, Wang Zizhen was well prepared, and everyone knew about her crying.
Not to mention that Wang Zizhen had severed ties with her natal family, even if she hadn't, who knew if this aunt, whom she had only seen twice in more than 20 years, was real or fake? Why did she come here to pretend to be an elder? She came twice, and when she went back the second time, her son was beaten.
Yes, it’s Su Zhaodi’s husband.
The old lady never dared to visit again.
Zhao Guihua said it was just a threat, but Daqiang felt that if he didn't teach this kind of person a lesson, he would be ignorant of the rules. Sure enough, this kind of person is a bully who only fears the strong and bullies the weak. He didn't get any advantage and got beaten up again. As expected, the person never showed up again.
Daqiang had also warned that family that if they did anything wrong again, or instigated Wang Zizhen's family to do something, he would be even more rude. They had already severed their relationship, so there was no need to pretend to be a family. Whether it was them or Wang Zizhen's family, he would deal with them one by one, and if they came in pairs, he would deal with them both.
Let’s see who will be unlucky then!
The family really didn't dare to mess with this rough guy who looked like he was not easy to mess with. The family disappeared in the crowd in disgrace.
Wang Zizhen is living a very comfortable life now.
She stroked her belly with a happy smile on her face.
Zhao Guihua: "By the way, Su Zhaodi's in-laws came over a few days ago, right?"
Zhao Guihua also thought of this.
Wang Zizhen: "Brother Daqiang taught me a lesson."
She said mockingly, "They want to take advantage of me. They really think they are human beings. I don't even give face to my parents. Who are they?"
"I know that family. They probably won't come. They are the type that bully the weak and fear the strong. If you are a little fierce, they will retreat faster than a turtle into its shell."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Everyone laughed. Zizhen said, "That's right."
Aunt Zhou: "It's been so quiet in our compound in the past six months. I'm a little uncomfortable with it."
Aunt Wang raised her eyelids and said, "Why are you still looking forward to something?"
She is the one who manages the hospital, but she doesn't want any trouble at all. It's so nice to have such a peaceful and quiet life like this. If it gets lively... Tsk!
Aunt Wang feels that her job as a hospital manager is exhausting.
She wanted peace anyway.
Aunt Zhou: "I just said it casually."
"Bah, bah, bah, crow's mouth."
"Don't talk nonsense..."
Everyone started talking and laughing...but they didn't know that Aunt Zhou was really a pessimist.
At this time, Old Man Liang hurried home from outside, panting, and said, "Mother, I found out everything."
Mrs. Hu came out immediately and asked, "What's going on?"
Old Man Liang angrily threw the cup on the table and said, "Xiao Fen is indeed working, a formal employee in the machinery factory."
Speaking of this, it’s really annoying.
He said: "This damn girl doesn't take our family seriously at all. She didn't even come back to tell me about her new job. Look, didn't she agree to hand over part of her salary to her family? Now she's not giving it to them?"
The old couple had forgotten about their last job, and their daughter, Mei Fun, had given the job to her younger brother.
"I think she did it on purpose. She deliberately didn't want to help my family. This daughter has been spoiled. How can she be so cruel? Look, she hasn't come back since last year. She didn't even come back to give us New Year gifts. She really doesn't treat us as family. What sin did I, Old Lady Hu, commit! How could I give birth to such a wicked daughter? It's a misfortune for our family, a misfortune for our family!"
The Liang family's wife looked at her parents-in-law like this and curled her lips in disdain, but she still followed suit and instigated: "I said that this elder sister-in-law is not a good person, right? Before I got married, she was instigating everywhere and showing her off everywhere. She didn't think about it. I asked for a high betrothal gift, so shouldn't I bring some back? Isn't it to give back to our own little family? I asked for a high betrothal gift and a lot of dowry, so shouldn't I bring all of it back? This is obviously a matter of taking advantage, but she is talking nonsense. If you can't come up with the betrothal gift, my family will naturally not give any dowry. Now, everything is lost. This person is just not good enough. See if I am wrong."
She sneered and said, "It's really terrible that she is like this now. What kind of daughter doesn't even tell her parents about her job? If she doesn't even give her the slightest bit of respect, then it's a waste of raising her."
After hearing these words, the old couple of the Liang family beat their chests and stamped their feet.
Old Mrs. Hu: "I want to find this damn girl. I have to talk to her properly!"
She stamped her feet and said, "You have to give me ten dollars a month. You have to! This is the minimum."
Old Man Liang: "Less, right?"
Mrs. Hu: “Fifteen!”
"I think so."
Old Mrs. Hu: "You have to buy us a bicycle. Why does his family have two bicycles, but we don't have one? You can't bully others like this."
“Yes, yes, yes.”
This old couple is really speechless, and they feel very good about themselves. They just make their own arrangements. It is said that people from the same family are alike, and the daughter-in-law of the Liang family is also such a person.
Her eyes rolled and she thought of a more vicious plan.
She immediately said, "Mom and Dad, listen to me. This job is in the hands of my eldest sister-in-law. Doesn't she have the final say on whether to pay or not? You can tell by how distant she is from our family. We can't all rely on her. If you want to rely on her, it's impossible. As for old-age support, it's still me and my husband. Only the two of us can provide for you. How can a daughter's family provide for your old age? Are you right?"
“Yes, yes.”
What's a daughter? If you want to be reliable, you need a man.
When the Liang family's wife heard this, she smiled and said, "Then we have to get this job. If she gives this job to me, our family will have two working people. Anyway, she is contributing to the banker by taking the job, not to our family!"
She said maliciously: "But if this job is given to me, it will be different. Our lives will be prosperous."
Upon hearing this, the Liang family's old couple didn't think much and felt that their daughter-in-law was still better. Look, if an outsider could think about their family like this? Only family members can think about themselves like this.
Old Mrs. Hu slapped her thigh and said, "You have a good idea. Right, right, right. Let her give you the job. Then you two can both work. Even if you get pregnant, the factory will reimburse you for the birth of the child. That's great."
"Yes, I am doing this for our future. A job can be passed down to our children and grandchildren. It is a big deal for our Liang family."
At this time, Mrs. Hu was already bewildered by the bright prospects described by her daughter-in-law, and had completely forgotten that some people were not easy for her to manipulate. However, Mrs. Hu regained her sanity for a short time.
But soon, she felt that it was okay.
Although her daughter hadn't been home recently, she still had her daughter in her hands. If she said east, Leung Mei-fun wouldn't dare to go west. Didn't she give all her jobs to her brother? So it was only natural for her to give one to her brother's wife.
Although Zhao Guihua was not easy to talk to, Liang Meifen had already given birth to two children, and she married Zhuang Zhiyuan out of love, so they had feelings for each other. Given this situation, it was impossible for her to be divorced and go home.
Even if we get divorced...it's no big deal, I can still let my daughter marry again.
Her daughter has graduated from high school and will have no trouble finding a partner.
If it's not possible to find someone who's married for the first time, is it that hard to find someone who's married for the second time? Or someone who's older but has good conditions.
Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Hu became proud.
She thought she was really smart.
"Then I will go find my daughter today."
"Go directly to the factory to find someone. If she disagrees, just roll around and make a scene! Don't go to their yard. That old hag Zhao Guihua is not to be trifled with. If you go to the factory and make a scene, she won't dare to do anything to her mother like you!"
Old man Liang is really vicious.
He didn't speak up himself, so he asked his wife to speak up: "If she says no, you will accuse her of being unfilial!"
The Liang family's wife was also happy and immediately said, "Mom, I'll go with you and support you!"
"Okay, okay, you are so considerate."
Everyone had their own ultimate motives and was extremely happy.
Old Mrs. Hu quickly led her daughter-in-law out the door.
The two of them went straight to the machinery factory. The machinery factory was not an ordinary factory. The fact that such a factory had to give priority to production during such a period was very telling. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came over and wanted to go in directly, but they had no chance at all.
The two men stood at the door and looked out. In fact, they could have found Leung Mei-fen in advance and asked her to come out.
But Mrs. Hu didn't want to do that. She told her husband what he said and planned to talk to Leung Mei-fun when there were more people after get off work. If she didn't agree, she would roll on the ground. She didn't want to drag it out and wanted to get things done right away.
She stood at the door, rubbing her hands anxiously.
Seeing them like this, the gatekeeper stepped forward and asked, "What do you want?"
Mrs. Hu: "I'll wait for my daughter to get off work."
The gatekeeper asked again: "Are you in a hurry? If you are, you can call someone."
“No, no.”
After hearing this, the guard did not force him and went back to the guardhouse. Zhang San was in charge of patrolling today. He and Li Sier were in a group. They walked over, leaned against the door, and asked, "What are they doing?"
"He said he was looking for someone, but I don't know who he was looking for."
Zhang Saner came over and asked, "Who are you looking for? Do you need my help to call someone?"
Mrs. Hu: "Ah, I'm looking for Liang Meifen from the workshop. She's my daughter, but there's no need to call anyone. We can just wait for a while. There's no way we can delay production."
Zhang Saner smiled and said, "You are really insightful."
Mrs. Hu: "Although I am old, I understand this."
Zhang Saner smiled and turned away. He found a corner and smoked secretly. He had no choice. His wife was pregnant and the family was very particular. Li Sier came over and said, "Have one."
Zhang Saner: "Get lost, I bought this with money."
Having said that, I still gave it to him.
The two of them huddled behind the gatehouse, smoking, looking pitiful.
The two were smoking when they heard voices coming from outside. It was Old Mrs. Hu and her daughter-in-law. Old Mrs. Hu's daughter-in-law was always a bitch at home and not very polite to her parents-in-law, but this time she was different. She had a fawning face and spoke very pleasantly.
"Mom, when I get a job, I'll buy you some clothes."
She smiled and said, "Look, my elder sister-in-law, she doesn't spend a penny more on you even though she got a job. You can't have a daughter like that. Although I'm a daughter-in-law, I'm not her kind of person. Wait for the job to fall into my hands, and don't worry. I promise to pay for your household expenses."
Mrs. Hu looked at her daughter-in-law complimenting her so much and said happily: "I knew you were a good person."
"Of course."
She added, "Mom, what if my elder sister-in-law is not willing to give up her job?"
"How dare she! I'm her mother, if she doesn't let me, she's unfilial! I can't beat her to death! This conscienceless ungrateful bastard..."
Mrs. Hu started scolding her daughter. Zhang Saner raised his eyebrows and said, "Help me for a while. I'll go upstairs."
Li Sier: "Go ahead."
Zhang Saner immediately turned around and walked towards the office building. He quickly arrived at the Propaganda Department and knocked on the door: "Xiao Zhuang."
Zhuang Zhixi was sorting out materials. When he saw him coming, he smiled and walked out: "What's up? Is there something wrong?"
They lived in the same compound. Although Zhang Saner didn't come back every day, he went back quite often. If there was anything small, he would tell him after get off work. If he came to see him at this time, it must be something important.
"What?" He went out.
Zhang Saner: "Is your sister-in-law called Liang Meifen?"
This is because they live in the same compound, otherwise Zhang Saner really wouldn't know. But he doesn't really remember the female comrade's name. He vaguely remembers this.
"It's her. What's wrong? What happened?"
Zhang Saner groaned and whispered something in Zhuang Zhixi's ear. Zhuang Zhixi frowned and said, "This is really..."
Zhang Saner: "Your family must be prepared for this! Otherwise, you will be cheated... I remember your sister-in-law gave up her job, right?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Of course! He never stops eating."
Zhang Saner looked at Zhang San with sympathy and said, "This is really terrible."
His wife's family is well-off, so he has never experienced this, but I really feel sympathy for her. Although the person involved is not Zhuang Zhixi, they are in the same family. If one suffers, all suffer!
Zhuang Zhixi: "I know, I won't tell you this for now."
He immediately turned around and went to the section chief's office to ask for leave. He said he could leave an hour early, which should be okay.
Zhang Saner: "Okay, I'll continue patrolling."
Zhuang Zhixi knew that Old Lady Hu and her daughter-in-law were waiting at the door, so he went straight out the back door.
He jogged home. Since Mingmei returned to work, he no longer had to pick her up. Mingmei rode her bike to and from get off work, and it was inconvenient for Zhuang Zhixi to pick her up because Mingmei had an hour every morning and afternoon to go home and feed her baby.
Cycling is much more convenient.
This Zhuang Zhixi can't be picked up or dropped off.
So Zhuang Zhixi now walks to and from get off work. He walks a long way from the back door and jogs home. When he gets home, panting, he sees quite a few people in the yard. Even his wife is there. He is surprised: "Why are you here too?"
Mingmei said coquettishly: "Why can't I be here?"
She came back in the afternoon to feed the baby and never left. Her bosses were not here today and she had no plans to go back, hehe ~ lazy!
She raised her eyebrows and said, "Why are you back? Is there something wrong?"
Speaking of this, Zhuang Zhixi said: "I really have something to say, Mom, come here for a moment."
Zhao Guihua: "What's the matter?"
Zhuang Zhixi whispered something in her ear, and everyone pricked up their ears, but unfortunately no one heard it.
But Zhao Guihua shouted after hearing this: "Fuck her, she's taking advantage of me, isn't she? She even took advantage of my house! I've really spoiled her. If I don't teach her a lesson, she won't know that the Horse King has three eyes!"
Zhao Guihua said without hesitation, "You stay home and look after the kids. I'll go meet this old man!"
Zhao Guihua walked away with big strides. Mingmei asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Mom went to fight."
As soon as these words came out, Mingmei immediately became eager to act and said, "I'll go help our mom!"
She couldn't help but help with something like this!
Her mother-in-law is an old lady, and everyone is very bad about her, but everything is different with her.
Mingmei: "I have to go!"
She quickly handed the child to Zhuang Zhixi and said, "You have to take good care of the baby."
After saying that, he hurriedly followed him out.
There has been nothing going on in the compound recently, and everyone is feeling bored. When Aunt Wang heard that Zhao Guihua wanted to fight, she said quickly: "Li Fang, look after the child, I'll go with you, we can't let Old Zhao suffer any loss."
As long as they didn't fight in the compound, she wasn't afraid! Aunt Zhou was anxious. How could she be left out of such a situation? She looked at Zhuang Zhixi as if she had grabbed a life buoy and said, "Please help me take care of my Qijin. I'll go check on your mother. Zhaodi... No, Zizhen, let's go. I'll take you to see the fun... No, go and help."
This is urgent.
Wang Zizhen: "Okay."
He Lan quickly followed with the child in her arms. In fact, she was not as close to the people in the courtyard as others, but she was still worried about them being together all day. She was not just there to watch the fun. She was simple-minded and was simply worried.
Anyone who knows Zhao Guihua knows that when Zhao Guihua and her mother-in-law play together, they can never lose.
But He Lan didn't know that He Lan followed Aunt Zhou with the child in her arms and said, "I'll go with you, maybe I can help."
Aunt Zhou gave He Lan a strange look and said, "What are you talking about in your sleep? How could Zhao Guihua need help?"
He Lan: “???”
Everyone rushed over, and Aunt Sui also hurried to follow. It was a huge group of people, really a mighty one.
The courtyard, which was bustling just now, suddenly became quiet. Zhuang Zhixi looked at it, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Why did you throw the child to me?"
Li Fang: "Please help keep an eye on Qi Jin."
Zhuang Zhixi: "No need, just put them here and let them play by themselves."
These children are relatively easy to take care of.
Actually, it is not easy to take care of them, but all babies are like this. Putting many babies together will make them cry less and play with each other. Babies are curious about other babies.
Zhuang Zhixi put several children's cars together, and then watched the children start to blow bubbles happily.
Zhuang Zhixi: "You should go and watch the fun, Zhenzhen is fine here."
Li Fang was silent for a moment, then said, "Thank you."
She couldn't help it in the end and went out.
Zhuang Zhixi: "You four little brats are now in my hands."
The little ones were blowing bubbles and giggling.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Oh, so cute!"
He looked at it for a while and said, "Well, my cub is still the cutest."
Anyway, his is the best.
When Zhao Guihua and the others arrived near the factory, it was just the time for people to get off work. She stood still, hugged her chest, and looked towards the gate with murderous intent. At this time, Mrs. Hu and her daughter-in-law were looking into the factory.
At this time, Liang Meifen was walking out with several female workers in the workshop, chatting and laughing. As soon as she reached the door, she was stunned. She hadn't seen her mother for a long time, and she was surprised to think that her brother got married without notifying her.
Leung Mei-fun really felt that all her sincerity had been wasted.
Although she defended her natal family in front of her husband, she was still holding back her anger. Later, Aunt Su's incident happened. To be honest, Aunt Su's incident really sounded the alarm for those who mindlessly protected their natal family and brother in the surrounding area.
Really, I was scared to death.
Aunt Su cheated Su Pandi without any mercy.
Moreover, from the beginning to the end, she did not repent at all, and did not feel guilty towards her daughter at all. And the fact that Su Pandi slept with someone for her mother's family was even known to everyone. This was considered a well-known strange thing in the city.
Precisely because it is rare, it is widely circulated.
This still made many people sober up.
Liang Meifen was already feeling a little aggrieved, so naturally she took it to heart.
She stopped and the people around her asked, "What's wrong?"
Liang Meifen: "My family is here."
"My mother's home? So what…" Seeing that Leung Mei-fen's face looked unhappy, he guessed if something had happened.
But before she could ask, Liang Meifen had already continued to walk forward. She walked to the door and called out, "Mom."
As for her brother and sister-in-law, she was too lazy to pay any attention to them. What shameless people they were.
Mrs. Hu immediately became nervous and snorted heavily, saying, "How dare you call me mom! I don't have a daughter like you. You don't go back to your parents' home to give gifts during the New Year and other festivals, and you didn't tell them that you found a job? What's the matter? Do you treat us like dead people? We worked hard to support you through high school, and you treat us like this? You are such an ungrateful person! Why did I give birth to a daughter like you? If I knew you were like this, I would have strangled you to death when you were born!"
After saying this, everyone looked at Leung Mei-fen with a strange look.
This won't work.
Liang Meifen didn't expect her mother to come up and list the charges against her.
She felt bad, but she was not polite: "Mom, you are bullying me by saying this. Why don't you tell me that I have been paying living expenses to my family every month since I started working, and my younger brother asks me for money every month? What did I get in return? I gave my job as a worker to my younger brother, and you turned around and didn't let me go back to my parents' home, saying that I was meddling in other people's business. You even didn't tell me that my younger brother was getting married! How can I dare to go back to my parents' home when you treat me like this?"
When Mrs. Hu saw that Leung Mei-fen talked back, she instantly became angry and slapped her in the face.
She angrily cursed: "Who gave you the courage to talk to me like this?"
The sister-in-law of the Liang family also provoked, "Sister, look at what you did! You will make mom angry, you can't do this. If we don't notify you, can't you ask around and come? Do you have to notify us personally for everything? How can you be so arrogant?"
"Shut up, what do you have to do with this? If you hadn't instigated me, would I have ended up like this with my family? Don't you even look at your melon-like face? You still have the nerve to ask for three turns and one ring, and thirty-six legs. It's really hilarious, bah!"
Although Leung Mei-fen had resentment towards her natal family, her natal family was still her own family, so she naturally hated her brother's wife, an outsider, even more.
"You, you, you. How dare you scold me! You scold me!" This guy was not a good-tempered person either, and started fighting as soon as he came up.
Liang Meifen worked in the workshop and was always stronger than a housewife. Besides, the family ate well, so she was also strong. Without saying a word, she grabbed the man's face and slapped him hard: "I have disliked you for a long time! Who the hell do you think you are!"
The pitted-faced girl can't beat Priscilla Leung.
Old Mrs. Hu was anxious. She was not helping her daughter, but her daughter-in-law. She went up to pull and shouted, "What are you doing? What are you doing? Let go! You damn girl! You can't bully your sister-in-law. You are really rebellious! Let go!"
Hitting Liang Meifen! The woman with a hollow face sat on the ground and cried, kicking her legs: "Bullying me, your eldest sister-in-law who got married in the Liang family bullied me, ah ah ah ..."
Mrs. Hu panted, stared at her daughter and said, "Are you trying to disturb your brother's family? You conscienceless girl, give your job to your brother and sister-in-law, do you hear me?"
She told her plan.
Liang Meifen looked at her mother in disbelief, unable to believe that this person had schemed against her to the core.
What does she take herself for?
Liang Meifen suddenly thought of Gou Lanxiang.
She took a deep breath and said, "Dream on!"
She said word by word: "Don't even think about it, it's impossible!"
"you!"
Mrs. Hu didn't expect that her tricks that always worked for her would be useless. She immediately became angry and grabbed Liang Meifen and started beating her: "I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death, you ungrateful wolf..."
At this point, there are already three layers inside and three layers outside.
It was just right after get off work, so I was just watching the fun.
Old Mrs. Hu was not afraid of being seen, and she shouted: "Everyone come and see this unfilial daughter, this un...ah!"
She was suddenly pushed down and fell to the ground. Before she could react, an old lady fell from the sky, sat on her, and slapped her in the face without any courtesy: "I'm going to beat you to death, you old hag. You're never going to stop scheming, right? You took your daughter's first job away from her, and now our family has finally found her another job, and you're trying to snatch it away again! Damn it, I wanted to hit you last time. You think I'm easy to bully, right?"
Zhao Guihua was so angry, but she didn't take action immediately. This was to see Liang Meifen's attitude. It must be said that Liang Meifen's attitude was satisfactory. The more Zhao Guihua looked at Old Lady Hu, the angrier she became.
She thought of almost all the new and old grudges.
She slapped him again and again: "As soon as your daughter got married, you came to my house to take advantage. Every year my family sent fish and meat to your family, but your family gave you cabbage in return. I put up with it."
Bang bang big mouth.
"I'm thinking about the child. After all, Mei-Fun came and gave birth to our grandson, so I won't bother you. But your son is just a loser. He can't do anything and never gets enough to eat. He comes to ask his sister for money every now and then. I think Mei-Fun also has a job and she spends her own money, so I won't bother you and let it go."
Bang bang continues to talk big.
"Your daughter said that you paid for her to go to high school, and even if she gets married, she still has to give her parents living expenses every month. I still put up with it. You think I have no temper, right? But your family should never, ever, deliberately make small moves when my third child is getting married!"
Seeing that Mrs. Hu's teeth were knocked out and a bunch of her hair was pulled out, Zhao Guihua punched her directly, "You took advantage of your son's reputation of not wanting to go to the countryside to take away Liang Meifen's job. You almost messed up my third son's marriage! You should know how hard it is for my eldest son to work alone to support four people! What are you trying to do? Do you think I don't know? You are plotting against us old couple, and the third son and his wife, right? Liang Meifen is stupid enough to believe in you, her biological mother, but I know you are up to no good!"
Her fists were still strong and no one dared to come forward to pull people away.
Everyone was grimacing as they watched; it just looked painful.
Aunt Zhou whispered: "I said she can't suffer any loss."
He Lan shrank her neck.
Zhao Guihua: "In the end, your family is fine. After cheating the job away, they think they got what they wanted. They are planning to marry my family and even want your daughter, who has been married for nearly ten years, to give your family three turns and thirty-six legs. Don't you think about your family? How dare you ask for so much! It's a rip-off! Everyone, come and listen. This family wants the in-laws to give their son a dowry for marrying a daughter-in-law. Damn, they are so shameless. They can't get what they want. Seeing that their daughter can't make any money, they just let her go and don't allow her to go back to her parents' home. Is it you, or your family! Your family is really disgusting. I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such a shameless family as yours."
Bang, bang, bang.
"Now we have finally arranged a new job for our daughter-in-law, and you come to grab it again. This time it's for your daughter-in-law who has no idea how long her face is. What's the matter? We are used to you, right?"
She was really rude and by this time Old Mrs. Hu had been beaten into a pig's head.
When the pit-faced daughter-in-law saw her mother-in-law being beaten like this, she shouted, "You, you are bullying...ah!"
The more Liang Meifen looked at her, the angrier she got. She kicked her and then punched her, saying, "I told you not to talk nonsense. I told you to call me a bitch. I told you to scold me. I told you to kick me out. I told you to say that the Liang family has nothing to do with me. I told you to stir up trouble... You want a job? Eat shit!"
If it wasn't for the fact that the weather was too hot and it was disgusting, Leung Mei-fun really wanted to stuff this guy into the cesspool. Anyway, it wasn't the first time she had seen this kind of thing! She could do it too, she would pull her hair hard and make her bald, so ugly!
"Alright, alright, stop hitting people, stop making trouble..."
At this time, the security department finally came forward. Of course, it was normal that they did not come forward, as these people were making trouble outside the factory, not inside.
Zhao Guihua decided to stop at this point. She clapped her hands, stood up, and said, "I've endured this for so many years, and now I can finally let out a sigh of relief. I'm telling you, this isn't over yet!"
She looked at Priscilla Leung and said, "Go home!"
After taking two steps, he turned around to look at the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were beaten so badly that they couldn't even get up, and said, "Just wait, tonight we old couple are going to have a good talk with your family to see how many disgusting things your family has done over the years. I tolerate you because of our relationship. But since you keep making trouble and treat our family as a soft persimmon, today I will let you know that Lord Horse has three eyes!"
"You you you... Ouch."
Zhao Guihua snorted heavily, held her head high, and turned away.
Everyone silently made way for her. Wasn't this old lady too fierce?
"This is... This is Zhuang Laonian's partner, right?"
"Of course."
"Uh... no wonder Mr. Zhuang is so listless and has a good temper all day. Everyone would have a good temper, but this one is too irritable."
"The one who got beaten deserved it."
"That's right."
"Fuck, she rushed out and pounced on the man like a tiger pouncing on its prey."
"What should we do with these two people..."
"Who cares? They are not good people. I just can't stand it anymore. No, will they make more noise at night... Oh my god, where do they live? I want to see!"
“I want to, too!”
Everyone was talking about it, lamenting that Zhao Guihua was too fierce, but they didn't feel much sympathy for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were beaten, mainly because these two people didn't look like they had done anything good. When Zhao Guihua beat people, everyone heard it clearly.
Although most people nowadays prefer sons to daughters, it is hard to be so calculating towards daughters.
How can the daughter live like this? She has already lost one job, and now she wants a second one? Some families with wives should also think about it. If their wives go to work and give their salary to their parents, and finally give the job to their brother-in-law... well, it really makes me feel stiff when I think about it. People think about things from their own standpoints. They will not put themselves in the shoes of Mrs. Hu's son, but in the shoes of the banker.
Because they all have jobs and they are not trying to steal their sister's job.
After all this, it seems that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are very disgusted with each other.
If this happened decades later, such a fight would have been reported to the police long ago, but not now. If it was a fight for no reason, maybe they would. But for such a trivial dispute among family members, no one would care.
Who wants to medle in other people's family affairs?
So, even if Old Mrs. Hu and her pumpkin-faced daughter-in-law were beaten, it was in vain!
Old Mrs. Hu got up groaning and cried, "Zhao Guihua is not a human being..."
Everyone laughed: "You are even more unkind than her..."
“That’s right!”
"Old lady, you can't be so immoral..."
"Oh no, her daughter-in-law is really ugly. How can she have the nerve to ask for so much dowry? She is right to scold her. She has such a sunken face..."
Everyone started murmuring again.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are so angry that they are about to fall over!
