Chapter 43: The Small Village of Leng'er



Isn't this how life is? She is a 47-year-old housewife approaching 50. It is impossible to expect her to have any great abilities for the time being. She can only live her life for the time being. Although she is bold, she also knows that she cannot let her job as a worker interfere with the lives of several people in the family.

In the early 1980s, this worker's status was still top-notch.

Besides, the workers are the most respectable working people, and Zhao Guihua still has some knowledge. If she was arrested for going to the black market, it might affect their work, and she would not do that!

Although she is bold, she is also very sensible.

Zhao Guihua thought that if she had a chance to catch some rabbits and fish to improve her family's life, it would be the most convenient thing to do at this stage. She rode her bike down the mountain and happened to come across a bunch of wild strawberries. The strawberries lying on the ground had already turned red. Zhao Guihua said nothing and started picking them! In her previous life, her family lived in the city and rarely went to the mountains in the suburbs. to go up the mountain. They always felt that the mountain was full of wolves and tigers. It was too dangerous.

But Zhao Guihua was not afraid of anything if she could do it again.

She knew that this mountain was not very big and was isolated. In fact, there were no large animals. If there were, they would have been reported long ago. Why wait until now? She picked wild strawberries and then rode home. When Zhao Guihua came back, it was already mid-afternoon, almost evening.

Every household has started to light the fire and cook. There are no old women chatting in the yard. There are some on weekdays, but today is different. Everyone watched a big show last night and didn't get enough sleep, so they are not very energetic today.

Zhao Guihua parked the car and went home. It was not Zhuang Zhiyuan who was home, but Liang Meifen. Liang Meifen came back in the afternoon and was catching up on her sleep. Her husband was at the hospital, and Xiaoyanzi was also taken there. Liang Meifen was half asleep when she heard the door open. She quickly rubbed her eyes and got up, "Mom, you're back? What the hell are you doing!"

Liang Meifen couldn't help it, and she felt a little embarrassed after she finished speaking, but she was still shocked: "Mom, are you going to the black market...?"

Zhao Guihua: "What the hell, the black market? Is that a place you can go to often? I went to the mountains in the suburbs. I went to the place where I caught rabbits last time. I went there again this time and found out that I caught two more rabbits."

Liang Meifen's eyes lit up and she said happily, "That's great, Mom. Next time, call me and I'll help you."

Zhao Guihua snorted and said, "It all depends on your performance. How is Hutou?"

"It's nothing. I think he's in good spirits. Mom, we don't have to stay for three days. These three days are all money. I think the hospital wants to make money. He's a child. Won't he be full of energy in a short time?"

Zhao Guihua glanced at Liang Meifen coldly and scolded: "Are you a pig? That's your son, why are you still concerned about money at this time? You don't even know what to spend and what to save. I tell you, you have to give me the hospital fees I paid for you yesterday. I will take care of your food and drink, and I don't need to pay for water, electricity, or health care. You can't let me take money when your child is sick!!!"

She knew that this was not Liang Meifen's problem, but that was like this now, thinking that there was no need to observe if there was nothing wrong, but Zhao Guihua didn't think so. They didn't know any medical skills, so they had to listen to the doctor. The doctor everyone said that they should observe, and they didn't know anything, so they had to follow the doctor's advice.

It doesn't matter if a person is stupid, what is scary is that a stupid person thinks he is smart.

She said, "It cost me seven dollars yesterday, you have to give it to me."

Liang Meifen's mood instantly dropped. Her heart felt like someone had hit it with a sledgehammer, or even thrown it into a pond of coptis. Why did this mother-in-law ask her for money?

How can you ask her for money? Liang Meifen felt bitter, but Liang Meifen still had to take the money. She couldn't afford to offend her mother-in-law. Didn't you see Jiang Lu quarreling with the old man Bai? Such a powerful woman is usually suppressed by her mother-in-law! They are like this as daughters-in-law.

Just hang in there.

Liang Meifen: "Mom, Zhiyuan manages the money in my family. Wait for him to come back and give it to you."

Zhao Guihua nodded and said, "Okay, you can make a rabbit, half of it, and stew it with potatoes. Wash the strawberries and put them in the lunch box. Bring them to the children later. There aren't many, so I won't give them to others. Give them to Hutou and Xiaoyanzi as a rarity."

When Leung Mei-fun heard this, she immediately stood up. This was specially given to her children, and not to the third brother and his wife. She instantly became happy, her eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, and she said, "Oh, okay."

She is happy as long as she gets a bargain.

Liang Meifen quickly started cooking. Zhao Guihua took a break. She was busy all day and was also very tired. She sat on a bench to rest her feet and said, "I saw a chestnut tree today."

Liang Meifen's hands trembled and she looked at her mother-in-law excitedly.

Isn't her mother-in-law too capable?

Zhao Guihua: "Now it's not ripe, no one is picking them. I don't know if anyone knows about it. Let's go there more often in autumn. These chestnuts are delicious."

They had no land in the city, so they could only eat according to the grain. No matter what kind of grain it was, it was limited. Their family had a large ration. Although his family had a large ration, they were all adults, so they could eat as much as they wanted. There was nothing left.

Therefore, whenever there was such a good thing that came for free, Liang Meifen was particularly happy. She said proudly, "That's great. I'll go with you then."

Zhao Guihua: "Okay, then our whole family will go out and get as much as we can. We can't afford to suffer any loss."

“That’s it!”

Liang Meifen: "We have to do it secretly, otherwise Aunt Su and Aunt Zhou will definitely learn from us. If they see... eh?" Liang Meifen paused, scratched her head, and said: "Aunt Zhou, is she not back yet?"

Zhao Guihua was stunned: "Not back yet?"

But then he thought again, slapped his thigh and laughed: "This is not bad."

This old man is so wicked, it would be better if he is locked up for a few more days. Although she also thinks that this matter cannot be locked up for a long time, but one more day is one more day. She felt happy when she heard it. Zhao Guihua: "She is wicked, you see, this is retribution."

Leung Mei-fun nodded and laughed too, but her laughter was even more hearty.

Aunt Zhou is the most foul-mouthed person. She gave the job to her brother. She couldn't hold her head up high at home, but Aunt Zhou gossiped about her to the neighbors in front of her and behind her back, saying that she was an ungrateful person.

This really hurts Priscilla Leung. That's just the way she is.

If Leung Mei-fen was not such a person, she might not have been so angry. It was precisely because she felt a little guilty in her heart that when Aunt Zhou said this, she was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and she was extremely angry.

Now that Aunt Zhou is in such bad luck, I really want to set off firecrackers.

"I don't think she will come back. Zhou Qun is still in the hospital. Jiang Lu is taking care of her husband, so she doesn't have time to care about her mother-in-law. Besides, Jiang Lu might even want this evil mother-in-law to be locked up for a few more days to relieve her hatred."

Zhao Guihua glanced at Liang Meifen with a half-smile, and Liang Meifen's heart trembled, and she quickly said, "Mom, I'm not like her."

Zhao Guihua: "Bah, you expect me to be good, but I won't be locked up, and I'm not the kind of person who robs people's houses."

"Of course you're not that kind of person, Mom. You're such a nice person. Oh, Mom, are your sister-in-law not coming back for dinner tonight?"

She remembered that Mingmei was going back to her parents' home tonight, and it was her mother-in-law who asked her to do so.

Zhao Guihua nodded, Liang Meifen looked down at the hare, and her heart was even happier. Look, look, although you Mingmei can flatter, I, the eldest daughter-in-law, am not just bragging. We can still eat well when you are not at home.

The corners of her mouth were raised high and she was working very hard.

In this day and age, every household eats plain food. If someone scrambles an egg, the smell will attract attention, not to mention stewing a rabbit. Soon, someone smelled something. Aunt Su lived the closest, and she cursed in her heart, "You are such a jerk! How can you show off your family? You are eating meat! Why don't you eat it to death..."

She sniffed. Hmm, not stew, but chicken? Almost.

"This old hag must have gone to the black market. Only your family earns the most, and you are so happy to show off. If one child is in the hospital, the whole family should be in the hospital. What a disgrace. Why didn't she get arrested? And then all the jobs in the family were taken away! You are left starving." Aunt Su cursed in a low voice at home, worrying about how to discuss this with her three children. If they smell something, Tonglai would definitely make a fuss about the meal.

It really causes trouble for their family.

Aunt Su was upset at home and wanted to go to the house to ask for it, but she felt ashamed. It didn't matter if her daughter-in-law did this kind of thing, because it would be shameless anyway, but she couldn't do it. She could do this kind of thing when she was young and in the most difficult time, but the older she got, the more she wanted to save face.

As she was still hesitating, she heard Aunt Wang shouting in the yard: "Zhou Guihua, your life is too good, isn't it? Why are you stewing meat when it's not a festival?"

Although Aunt Wang is a very busy person, she is not a cunning person. She will just say whatever she wants to say. Zhao Guihua did not take it seriously. It depends on who said it. Some people said it was malicious, while others said it casually.

Zhao Guihua: "My son Hutou is in the hospital. Shouldn't he eat something good to replenish his body?"

“This doesn’t look like meat.”

Zhao Guihua: "Rabbit, isn't it that my eldest grandson is sick? I thought the child must want to eat something good, so I went to the suburbs. The last time I caught rabbits, I didn't think I would be able to live there, but you know, I'm just lucky, and now, good things have happened to me again."

Aunt Wang was shocked: "You can do it."

Zhao Guihua smiled proudly and said, "How can I not do it? I must be able to do it!"

Although Aunt Wang was not a very shrewd person, she knew that the other person had probably discovered the rabbit hole. But no matter what, she didn't ask any more questions. Who could tell others where such a good thing was?

It is difficult to eat meat now.

She gave a thumbs up and said, "You are awesome."

Zhao Guihua: "No, I'm not usually very conspicuous, but if I show off a little, I'll be awesome."

"Tsk!" Aunt Wang couldn't stand it any longer. She said, "Okay, I'm going home to cook. I won't bother with you anymore. Oh, by the way, do you know if Aunt Zhou can come back today?"

Zhao Guihua said with a half-smile: "You really can ask someone, how would I know! Haven't I been out in the suburbs all day? Besides, I wouldn't know anything at home. Don't you know what my connections are?"

"That's right."

Aunt Wang hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Zhao Guihua smiled and said, "I guess her son and daughter-in-law have already made arrangements."

"That's right, otherwise he wouldn't have come back drunk like that." Even Jiang Lu had been drinking. If they hadn't been drinking, the couple wouldn't have been so angry. It was more or less the effect of the alcohol.

She said, "Okay, I'll go home and make dinner too."

"Look at what you said. Your Li Fang is at home. Does she still need you?"

Aunt Wang laughed, her daughter was indeed capable.

Zhao Guihua couldn't help but think of her own daughter. Her daughter was capable, but she was too capable and opinionated. She was stubborn and insisted on getting married, and she didn't come back for several years. Her son-in-law was serving in the army on an island, and her daughter followed the army. It was difficult for her to even send something.

Zhao Guihua: "Hey, my daughter."

Aunt Wang could hear how upset she was and said, "Your second daughter is doing well, you don't have to worry. Isn't her husband treating her well? And her parents-in-law are not around, which is good."

Zhao Guihua: "I know that, but it's far away. Who wouldn't want to have a daughter in the same place as me? I can see her whenever I want. Forget it. It's useless to say this. I'm already married. Can I be kidnapped back?"

"Then you really can't tie him back. Marriage is free now."

Zhao Guihua: "Go away, you have nothing to do but argue with me, right? Can't I just talk nonsense? Besides, Aunt Zhou is not here, so I can't find anyone to argue with."

Aunt Wang: "...You are really good."

Okay, she doesn’t want to fool around with her old friend anymore and goes home!

Zhao Guihua also turned around and went home...

Who didn't go home?

Aunt Zhou, the legendary figure in everyone's eyes, still hasn't returned home.

She was brought here by the factory security department yesterday morning. Although Aunt Zhou is a very unpleasant person with a bad character and her actions are hard to describe, it is difficult to impose a more severe punishment on her because she has not caused any serious consequences.

After all, the matter was not serious and she was not young anymore.

"He's an old man" is sometimes a good shield, regardless of whether the old man is not worthy of respect at all.

Although the security department brought her back, they also understood this principle, so they guessed early on that Aunt Zhou would definitely be punished with a minor punishment. When they heard that Zhou Qun's father-in-law was hosting a banquet for the factory director in the evening, what else did the security department not understand?

Who can blame him for having someone behind him?

I don't know what the factory director was thinking, but Zhou Qun's father-in-law chose the small canteen of their factory to host a banquet for the factory leaders. I guess it was to let the security department know and let them understand the spirit. Anyway, the security department knew that the next time Zhou Qun came to pick up someone, he would definitely release him.

The factory director got favors, the section chief got Huazi, they were pitiful, they had nothing but to be called a watchdog by an old man, which made everyone feel angry. They would not really do anything to Aunt Zhou, which would give people a reason to criticize them, but each industry has its own ways, and it is not that difficult to deal with her.

Aunt Zhou was arrested yesterday morning and has been handcuffed to a water pipe for more than a day and a half. She had to stand on tiptoes for so long that she felt like her legs were going to break. One of her arms was also very sore from being handcuffed and raised high.

The old lady who was still arrogant and cursing yesterday, can't even shout now. She shouted for most of the day yesterday, and now her throat is hoarse and it's hard for her to speak. She is suffering, uncomfortable and hungry. Yes, the security department will not waste rice on her. She hasn't eaten for more than a day.

Aunt Zhou was barely breathing and felt like she was going to die. Her big son hadn't shown up yet. The security department hadn't planned to keep the old lady for so long. The assistant factory director had already come to inform them this morning. Zhou Qun came to take the old lady away and asked the old lady to apologize to everyone one by one, and the matter was over. Zhou Qun also promised that he would take good care of his mother and that such a thing would not happen again.

If you think about it, this matter is not complicated. However, I never expected that Zhou Qun did not come to pick him up. Not only did he not come to pick him up, he did not come to work. He said that he was hospitalized.

This put the security department in a difficult position. The factory director said that they would release the person if Zhou Qun came to pick him up, but since Zhou Qun didn't come to pick him up, they couldn't just let him go. So they were not listening to their superiors?

The security department is in a difficult situation.

It's really a bit of a dilemma.

Damn it, it even hit my hand.

If a young wife hits your hand, you can still look at it for a few more glances, but if an old lady who is screaming hits your hand, what should you do?

Everyone felt miserable. They were in a dilemma. Aunt Zhou was also upset. She yelled until the evening yesterday, but no matter how she yelled, no one came to let her go, except for people scolding her. Even Zhou Qun didn't show up.

At first, Aunt Zhou was not afraid at all. Who was her son? He was a seventh-level electrician in the factory and a technical expert. It was not an exaggeration to call such a capable person a young talent. She felt that her son was so capable that even the factory director would have to bow down to him. It was possible that her son would become the factory director in the future.

However, as time went by, Aunt Zhou's heart began to waver and she began to be afraid. Why didn't this person come? There was no sign of her Zhou Qun. She thought, Zhou Qun must not know, if he knew, would he not come to help her? These conscienceless people really know how to torture people. They deliberately helped her to handcuff her to the heating pipe and didn't let her stand properly, just to torture her. However, Aunt Zhou didn't dare to curse at this time. She screamed and cried for mercy, but still no one cared about her.

After a night of sleep, Auntie Zhou's hair was a mess like a bird's nest, her throat was hoarse and she couldn't speak loudly, and her whole body was sore. She suffered a lot. What's more hateful is that these people didn't give her a drop of water or a grain of rice. They are so conscienceless.

When she gets powerful and her son becomes the factory director, she will fire all these people! Seeing that she would be imprisoned for an indefinite period of time, Aunt Zhou was really scared. She was so scared that she wanted to kneel down and pray to God to let Zhou Qun come to save her and save her from the water. However, as the sky was getting dark again, Zhou Qun still didn't come. Aunt Zhou cried, but her throat was so inflamed that she couldn't cry loudly.

"Xiao Qun, Xiao Qun, come and take mom home. Please forgive me, please let me go. I won't rob the house anymore. Isn't it okay that I was wrong?"

"Give me something to eat, give me some water, please..."

"I want to go home. I was wrong. I was wrong... I won't dare to do it again..."

No matter how she whimpered, no one paid any attention to her. Aunt Zhou said, "I'm going to die. I'm definitely going to die. Please let me go. I was wrong. I was wrong..."

She kept repeating this and that. The security department passed by her locked room and frowned. One of them, Wang Erlaizi, couldn't stand it anymore and went back to the office to complain: "I'm really speechless. Zhou Qun is so cruel. He doesn't even care about his own mother."

Guard A Zhang Saner: "What? You still feel sorry for her?"

Nowadays, there are really a lot of people named Zhang Saner and Li Sier.

The thief who came earlier also had the same name.

Wang Erlaizi: "Bah, I feel sorry for her? What a joke. This old man called me a watchdog yesterday. How cheap must I be for wanting to feel sorry for her. It's my turn tonight, and this unfortunate thing keeps whining like a ghost. How am I supposed to sleep then?"

Zhang Saner: "That's enough. What's the point of your whining now? I was on duty last night. This old lady started by cursing and then begged for mercy. My god, her voice was so sharp that it sounded like a cat scratching a paper box. It made my scalp numb. I was so annoyed that I went out on patrol all night last night."

He pointed: "Look at the big dark circles under my eyes. I haven't slept at all."

"You're not the only one with black circles under your eyes today. Oh, I heard that Zhou Qun and his wife had a fight with Bai Fendou."

The two of them gossiped quietly. Bai Fendou was a member of their security department, but he was not so close to other people in their security department. He had low emotional intelligence and his words were not pleasant to the ear. In addition, he was focused on the widow, so he was not respected by others.

"Well, this matter has been spread a long time ago. Let me tell you, it's about the young widow Wang Xiangxiu..."

"What? They're both hooking up with her? Two people fighting over the young widow?"

"What? That's too outrageous. Although Zhou Qun pretended to be a good person, I didn't hear that there was any problem with his relationship with men and women. But Bai Fendou... hehe. Listen to me, it was said that the son of the young widow Wang Xiangxiu took advantage of the fact that Zhou Qun's family was not home and went to steal things, and was caught by Zhou Qun and his wife. As a result, Bai Fendou came out to defend the young widow and beat Zhou Qun directly."

"Fuck, what kind of person is he? Why is he defending a thief? How come there is such a bad apple in our security department?"

They were in the security department, and they looked down on petty thefts. Now they looked down on Bai Fendou even more. "Then..."

"It was said that Bai Fendou knocked Zhou Qun down and fell on top of her, breaking her kidney. Think about it, this is a kidney! This is related to the happiness of Zhou Qun and Jiang Lu for the rest of their lives. Moreover, Zhou Qun doesn't have any children yet. Jiang Lu got mad and hit Bai Fendou on the head with a brick. So, they were all hospitalized."

"Jiang Lu couldn't tell. I didn't expect him to be so powerful."

"If you're not strong normally, it doesn't matter to your kidneys, right? I heard it, I heard it myself, no one else knows, but Zhou Qun promised not to pursue the young widow's son for stealing and his own injuries, and Bai Fendou also agreed not to pursue Jiang Lu for cutting someone's head. Both sides did not alert the factory, and both paid for their own medical expenses."

"This is fucking... for a widow, it's really bloody, ugh, cheap!"

"Despicable!"

Zhuang Zhixi: “…”

Whatever, it's up to you.

No one ever seemed to understand that he was not a doctor.

But he was used to it, really used to it. He smiled and said, "I have to go to the hospital for something later. I wanted to ask Aunt Zhou if she needs me to tell Zhou Qun a message."

His expression is so sincere, he looks so genuine.

Zhang Saner and Wang Erlaizi sighed: "Doctor Zhuang, you are a good person. Why do you care about such a person?"

Zhuang Zhixi lowered his eyes and said more sincerely, "She is indeed not kind, but after all, we live in the same courtyard, so I think we should not make things too awkward. Otherwise, it will be even harder to get along with each other in the future. What if we move away? We can't just stare at each other every day when we meet. My elders are all furious, but I think we should be friendly. By the way, she doesn't know that Zhou Qun is in the hospital yet, right? Alas. Zhou Qun injured his kidney, that's a kidney!"

Zhuang Zhixi looked very distressed.

Zhang Saner and Wang Erlaizi quickly asked for first-hand information: "Is it serious? Will it delay having a baby?"

Zhuang Zhixi: "Who knows? Even if it's a delay, we can't ask someone else to do it for us."

"That's right."

"really!"

The two thought that Doctor Zhuang was such a good person. He was clearly a victim, but he still took the initiative to help. This spirit is really worth learning. Zhang Saner: "Come on, Doctor Zhuang, come in."

Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay."

He walked in and said, "Auntie Zhou..."

"Come on, I'll take you there. Really, I've never met a kind-hearted person like you. Otherwise, people would say, hey, what's the saying, what's the point of healing?"

Zhuang Zhixi blinked: "Doctors are like parents?"

"Yes, that's right. Look, you have a good heart."

Zhuang Zhixi smiled helplessly, but still said sincerely: "I am also doing this for the harmony of our compound. Otherwise, we will meet each other every day. How difficult is that..."

"That's true. You are still neighbors."

"Isn't it?"

Aunt Zhou heard the sound of the door unlocking and someone talking. She no longer cared that the voice didn't sound like her son's at all and hurriedly shouted, "Son, my little Qun, I've been through so much! You're finally here!"

He couldn't scream just now, but now he's bursting out again.

With a creak, the door opened.

Small group?

Doesn't exist!

Who is the person in front of you?

Aunt Zhou's already pale face was even worse. Damn it, the person who came was not her son Zhou Qun, but the completely unexpected Zhuang Zhixi. She was stunned for a moment, her throat seemed to be stuck, and she couldn't say a word.

She looked at Zhuang Zhixi like a screaming chicken with its neck grabbed.

Zhuang Zhixi smiled gently and said, "Aunt Zhou, I'm here to see you."

Zhou Li: "..."

If it were any other time, she would definitely curse, but after being locked up for more than a day, she was already scared and had no strength or energy left. She could only stare at Zhuang Zhixi blankly. Zhuang Zhixi smiled at Aunt Zhou. Seeing her miserable appearance, his smile became a little gentler.

"Xiao, where is Xiaoqun?" Aunt Zhou finally squeezed out a few words from her throat.

Zhuang Zhixi: "Auntie Zhou, I came here for this. I have to go to the hospital later. Do you want me to tell Zhou Qun something?"

Aunt Zhou: “???”

She had suffered so much that her mind was not working properly. It took her a while to react and she asked excitedly, "What happened to Zhou Qun? What did you do to Zhou Qun?"

Zhuang Zhixi said innocently, "Auntie Zhou, look at you, how can you talk like that? I didn't do anything to Brother Zhou. Brother Zhou's waist was broken by Bai Fendou. He is in the hospital now. I just wanted to come here to ask you if you need me to pass on a message. How could you misunderstand me like this? When have you ever seen me fighting? From childhood to adulthood, I have never been involved in any of the fights in our alley. I am a civilized person."

Aunt Zhou thought about it and realized that it was true. Although Zhuang Zhixi was annoying since he was young, he was not the kind of kid who would resort to violence.

That's true. Zhuang Zhixi didn't catch the thief by himself.

Aunt Zhou quickly realized what Zhuang Zhixi said, and her face turned ugly: "Kidneys? What kidneys? My son, you are a bastard! You are a bachelor, and you want to harm my son..."

Aunt Zhou started to cry, and Zhuang Zhixi reminded her: "Aunt Zhou, do you really not need me to tell you something?"

If Zhao Guihua were here, she would definitely think of an old skit, the one about Lao Maoer and Comrade Pei Si, Mr. Huang asked me to bring you a message... Just the tone, it's exactly the same! This person doesn't sound like a good person from the tone.

But people nowadays are simple and honest. They never thought that Zhuang Zhixi came here not to do any good deeds, but to cause trouble for others. Therefore, Zhuang Zhixi still retains the reputation of a good person.

"Waist, how is my waist?"

How can we say that parents are so pitiful? Even though the old lady is in such a miserable state, she still cares about her useless son.

Zhuang Zhixi felt sorry for them. He sighed heavily and said, "Don't worry too much. I saw that he was still conscious when he was carried onto the cart yesterday."

"What!!!"

Aunt Zhou cried out: "They are all going to be carried away? My son, my eldest son! Let me go, let me go! I have to go see my son, I have to go see my son..."

She yelled at Zhuang Zhixi again: "You little bastard, I watched you grow up, you better find a way to get me out, you don't respect the elderly and love the young..."

Zhuang Zhixi: "You... why are you biting me like a mad dog? I mean well, but you come up to me and pick on me. It's really chilling! Forget it, I'd better leave first. It seems you don't need to say anything."

He went out and said, "You see, good intentions are never rewarded."

Zhang Saner: "You don't need to be a good person, Doctor Zhuang. You don't know that some people are not good people at heart. Don't underestimate them because they are old. They are just bad people who have grown old. They are not old people worthy of respect."

Zhuang Zhixi nodded, looked at Zhang Saner with admiration, and said, "What you said is very reasonable. Most people really can't say such high-level words."

Zhang Saner: "Oh!"

He touched his head and said, "I just saw a lot in the security department and I have more insights."

Zhuang Zhixi: "There are many people in the security department, and not everyone has such insights. You are at a different level of thinking."

Zhang Saner was delighted by these words. He felt that Doctor Zhuang was a really nice person. "Come on, I'll take you out. Don't worry about this old lady anymore. Let her continue to suffer here tonight. I don't think her son can come to pick her up. Oh, if her son doesn't come to pick her up, he'll apologize to everyone. She won't be able to leave the Security Department."

Zhuang Zhixi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he smiled and said, "You are also doing this for her to change for the better. I believe that even if she is released, she will thank you. Think about it, she has learned a lesson this time, and she will not do such unreasonable and illegal things in the future. It is equivalent to saving an old lady with backward thinking. On the contrary, if she did not learn a lesson this time, but tasted the sweetness, then she would be even more aggressive next time. She will definitely eat peanuts in the end! So, you are the heroes who saved her life. If she thought clearly, she should have bought gifts and visited your security department from house to house. You really helped her. People should be grateful."

"Right, right, right!" Zhang San'er thought about it, slapped his thigh and said, "What you said makes sense."

Wang Erlaizi also nodded vigorously. Some people in the factory always looked down on the security department behind their backs, thinking that they were too controlling. But they never thought about who would benefit from all this!

"Doctor Zhuang, you really hit the nail on the head."

Zhuang Zhixi said seriously: "This is just the truth. I think everyone with a brain should think so."

“Yes, yes, yes!”

Zhuang Zhixi and the security department stood at the door and muttered a few words. Zhou Li's heart-wrenching screams could still be vaguely heard. He curled his lips and said, "Then I'll leave first. I have something else to do."

"Okay, Doctor Zhuang, take care."

Zhuang Zhixi left the factory and did not go to the hospital. Instead, he went straight home. As soon as he entered the yard, he smelled the aroma of meat. He raised his eyebrows in surprise and then looked in the direction of his home. He walked in with a smile: "Mom, there is delicious food again."

Zhao Guihua: "Why don't you come back sooner?"

Zhuang Zhixi: "Well, didn't I show my good character and go to see Aunt Zhou?"

Zhao Guihua sneered: "Are you here to see her make a fool of herself?"

Zhuang Zhixi said seriously: "Am I that kind of person?"

Zhao Guihua: "You are that kind of person. As soon as you stick your butt out, I know what you want to do. From childhood to adulthood, you have always had many evil intentions."

Zhuang Zhixi felt innocent and thought his mother really misunderstood him. He was such a good young man, but he was not the kind of person who would do such a thing. He was a friendly neighbor, so why didn't she understand him? He said, "Mom, look at you, you are really sad."

Zhao Guihua: “Heh.”

She didn't even believe the punctuation marks.

But she also asked, "How is Aunt Zhou?"

Zhuang Zhixi: "I can't die."

"puff!"

The sister-in-law Liang Meifen standing by couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Zhuang Zhixi: "The security department didn't do anything to her, they just locked her up. She's in good condition, except that she didn't have much strength because she didn't eat, but she's in good spirits and is still screaming loudly."

"How could she be so insane? No one would believe it even if you told her that," said Zhao Guihua.

Leung Mei-fun nodded quickly.

The three of them ate together. Zhuang Zhixi said, "My grandfather treated me to Donglaishun at noon today."

Zhao Guihua: “…”

She raised her head and looked at Zhuang Zhixi: "Can you please have some shame? You let an elder treat you to a meal?"

Zhuang Zhixi: "Mom, you are so annoying for always scolding people... Actually, I wanted to invite him, but I didn't have enough meat coupons, so the old man invited me. Anyway, I am not an outsider. Oh, yes, the old man is moving tomorrow, and I will come back to help then."

Zhao Guihua: “We should help.”

"Grandpa is a really interesting guy. I think I can get along with him."

Zhuang Zhixi ate meat at noon, but it didn't affect his appetite at night. He ate meat with big mouthfuls. But his mouth didn't stop chattering.

Zhao Guihua: "I know you two can get along!"

In their previous life, the old man and the young got along well with each other and did a lot of "bad things" together.

She said, "Mingmei is going back to her parents' home tonight. You should go and pick her up later to prepare for the danger after dark." Although she knew that if a bad guy really met Mingmei, she couldn't say who would be more unsafe, but Mingmei was a girl after all, and it would be better for her to have someone accompany her.

Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay, I'll be there in a minute, but I think my father-in-law will definitely send her off. If my father-in-law is not at home, my eldest brother-in-law will also send her off."

Zhao Guihua: "It's their business if they send it. You are their man, how can you just ignore it?"

Zhuang Zhixi: "Where? Didn't I say I was going? I can go over there and get some snacks. My father-in-law's family has a lot of snacks. I'll eat some and then take some more."

Zhao Guihua stood up and asked: "Where is my eight-meter-long sword?"

Zhuang Zhixi: "Calm down, calm down. Look at you, Mom. You are already old, why are you still so fierce?"

He felt that he was in such a difficult situation, so he quickly took the initiative to say, "Sister-in-law, can you go to the hospital to replace my brother later? I'll take you there, and by the way, I'll take a look at Little Tiger, and then go directly to my father-in-law's house from the hospital."

Liang Meifen looked at Zhuang Zhixi in shock, her heart pounding. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, okay."

My brother-in-law wouldn't cheat her, would he?

It's not surprising that Liang Meifen thought so. She knew that Zhuang Zhixi had always been dissatisfied with her because of the previous incident. And she has been married for a long time. Even if he is a fool, Liang Meifen knows that this brother-in-law is not as harmless as he looks.

He is the kind of person who will do the same thing to you on the fifteenth day of the month.

Poor her, no matter she told her family or the people in the courtyard, no one believed her. They all said that she was naturally hostile to her brother-in-law and thought too much. Zhuang Zhixi, although sometimes he was a little rude, but most of the time he was very simple, he didn't have big ideas, and he wasn't a bad person.

Leung Mei-fun found it outrageous. Are these people blind?

At this time, Leung Mei-fun sighed that it was still her mother-in-law. Although this mother-in-law was not easy to deal with and fierce, she was still very good at judging people.

She coughed and said, "Actually, Hu Tou is fine. You don't have to go. He will be back the day after tomorrow."

Zhuang Zhixi: "How can that be? As a younger uncle, how can I not go to see my older nephew? Besides, the child must be bored in the hospital, and he would be happy if someone went to see him."

Priscilla Leung: “Oh…oh oh.”

Because the people in the hospital hadn't eaten yet, they didn't delay and rode their bikes to the hospital after dinner. Zhuang Zhixi said, "Sister-in-law, please give me a ride. If I give you a ride, people will gossip about me."

Liang Meifen: “…”

Wouldn't it be wrong if I gave you a ride? Zhuang Zhixi seemed to be able to guess what she was thinking and said, "If you give me a ride, people won't think so. They will just think, what's wrong with this guy?"

Liang Meifen: “…”

Without saying a word, she quickly packed up the lunch box, put it in the net bag and went out together. Zhuang Zhixi: "Let me carry it."

He sat in the back seat of the car and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, why hasn't your brother from your mother's family come to see you recently?"

Liang Meifen: “…”

Zhuang Zhixi: "Didn't you always come here secretly before? You haven't come much this year? Why? Is it because you have no money?"

Liang Meifen: “…”

Liang Meifen almost fell into a ditch, feeling so bitter, what the hell are you talking about! How could my brother be that kind of person! But, but my brother really hasn't contacted her for a long time. Not only did my brother not contact her, even her family rarely contacted her.

Leung Mei-fun bit her lip.

Zhuang Zhixi: "No, sister-in-law, even if you don't like me, you have to ride properly. Why are you riding in a serpentine shape? You better take it easy. If you fall, I will complain to my wife."

Liang Meifen: "..." Damn it! What are you talking about! You spineless little white face!

Leung Mei-fun was as silent as a saw-gourd mouth.

Zhuang Zhixi: "Sister-in-law, now that you have lost your job, you even talk less. It's true that people can't live without work."

Liang Meifen squeezed out a sentence and said, "Third brother, are you busy at the factory?"

Zhuang Zhixi: "Isn't this a too abrupt change of topic?"

Liang Meifen breathed in and out vigorously, saying: "Ha, ha ha!!!"

She announced that the most annoying person in the world was Zhuang Zhixi.
