Zhuang Zhixi felt that he had been somewhat unlucky recently.
You always encounter mentally retarded patients and get implicated.
He cooperated early in the morning, and was called over by the security department again in the afternoon. This time, it was Bai Fendou's "confession". Bai Fendou was a simple person. Even if the matter got out of hand, he would not lie and directly told his plan.
Because of this, the Security Department came to Zhuang Zhixi to verify again, and Zhuang Zhixi's face was as black as charcoal.
Zhang Saner and Li Sier looked at each other, and then looked at Section Chief Liu at the same time. Section Chief Liu was also paying attention to Zhuang Zhixi, trying to find out whether Zhuang Zhixi had known about this for a long time and deliberately lured Zhou Qun over.
Although this possibility is small, it is possible.
But Zhuang Zhixi looked so angry that this possibility was reduced. He really looked like he had just learned about this matter, his face was extremely dark, and he saw that Zhuang Zhixi's hands on the table were clenched into fists, as if he would hit someone directly if Bai Fendou was next to him.
Zhuang Zhixi seemed to be angry for a long time, and finally calmed down and looked up and said: "First, I don't know his plan. It's true that he blocked me in the bathroom and said he had something to talk to me about, but he didn't say what it was, so I didn't pay much attention to him and left quickly. Second, he said he met me at noon..." He sneered and said, "This is a lie. You can go to our department to ask. I always have lunch with the people in the department at noon. I have never had any contact with him at all, and I haven't said a word. He wants to use me as a shield to cover up the disgusting things he has done, but I won't cooperate. Don't think that just because he is a neighbor, I have to help him unconditionally. Who does he think he is!"
Zhuang Zhixi said with a dark face: "If he really wanted to plot against me in this matter, then I think he deserves to have his balls kicked in pieces; if I have nothing to do with this matter at all and he wants to drag me in as a shield to shirk his innocence, I'm sorry, I won't cooperate. Let him die."
Seeing that Zhuang Zhixi was extremely angry, Zhang Saner quickly comforted him: "Don't be angry, we know that Bai Fendou did something unkind..."
Zhuang Zhixi sneered: "Unkind? Is he unkind in his actions? He is despicable and shameless. Why didn't I know he had so many tricks before? Let's not talk about the latter possibility, let's just talk about the former. I just want to ask, how did I offend him? I don't have any grudges against him at all!"
After this was said, everyone in the security department grunted and didn't know what to say.
Zhang Saner: "Bai Fendou said that your family bullied Wang Xiangxiu's son... He wanted to take revenge."
Zhuang Zhixi couldn't believe it. "Fuck, Wang Xiangxiu's son came to my house to steal things and was caught by my sister-in-law. Can't we just go to his door and scold him? Someone with a bad temper would have beaten their children and smashed their windows. Our family is already good enough. I'm so unlucky to have such a neighbor. If you say so, then it's possible that he wants to plot against me. After all, I don't think he would dare to do something bad to Jiang Lu in broad daylight. Even if he has the intention, he wouldn't do such a thing."
Everyone in the security department nodded. In fact, they had worked with Bai Fendou for more than ten years and knew him a little bit. Although Bai Fendou was a bit mean and thought about finding a wife all day long, he really didn't care about himself at all. He was the kind of person who felt very good about himself. In his heart, even marrying a fairy was fine. Ordinary women were not within his consideration.
Jiang Lu has good conditions, but she is married and has no children. In Bai Fendou's eyes, she is probably not worthy of him.
If he really wanted to do something to the woman, their security department thought it was unlikely. Now according to Bai Fendou's explanation, he wanted to take revenge on the banker, which was very likely.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Fuck, I really want to fuck his eight generations of ancestors. How could his family be so wicked? He is justified in protecting a thief? What the hell is this person? He even wants to plot against me. Oh, that's not right... He can plot against me, but why did he drag Jiang Lu into this?"
He frowned in confusion and asked.
Zhang Saner: “…”
He said quietly, "He said he didn't like Zhou Qun, and Aunt Zhou bullied the Su family all day long, so he wanted to do something brave and bring shame to their family."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
He sneered and said, "It's really a slut who has shaken the earth and mountains."
Zhang Saner: "Come on, drink some water and don't be angry."
Zhuang Zhixi: "How can I not be angry? If I really fell into his trap, what do you think my situation would be like now? He is so heartless. He deserves to be broken, he deserves it!!!"
Zhuang Zhixi stood up and said, "Anything else? If not, I'll go back. I really don't want to listen to Bai Fendou's disgusting things. This guy's brain must have been eaten by a wild dog. He's mentally retarded."
"Pfft!" Several people from the security department couldn't help but burst out laughing.
At this time, Section Chief Liu coughed and said, "Okay, let me ask you one last question. Didn't you agree to his promise?" Zhuang Zhixi said angrily, "I promised his mother! I didn't even talk to him! If you have the guts, call him over and we'll confront him. Let's confront him on the spot and see if I agreed to his promise or not!"
"Just talk nicely, why are you so angry?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Who wouldn't be angry? Chief Liu, if this is what he said, then you should deal with it. He is framing me, you can't just ignore it because I didn't fall for it. If I really fell for it, would I still be sitting here talking? I'm afraid I would have been imprisoned. I don't know if I worked so hard for such a good treatment in vain."
He said meaningfully, "Bai Fendou is from the security department. He should have set a better example. He should have understood the seriousness of the matter better than others, but he did it without hesitation. So, if he doesn't punish us severely, it won't be enough to reassure us ordinary people, right? He can vent his anger on our family today, and he can vent his anger on others tomorrow. He made such a big deal today because he didn't like something. If he doesn't like the factory director tomorrow, can he set fire to his house? Or lock the factory director and the widow in a small warehouse? Then, can he frame anyone he doesn't like in the future?"
He did not mention that Bai Fendou was from the Security Department and that Section Chief Liu would protect his son, which would completely offend Section Chief Liu. But he would not shrink from saying what he should say. If a man shrinks from it, he will only be looked down upon.
"He won't be so bold." Section Chief Liu frowned, feeling tired.
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "When he wanted to frame me, could you imagine that he would dare to do such a thing? I'm afraid you couldn't imagine it, right? Some people may not look like they have many brains, but stupid people are more reckless. You have no idea what he will do next time if his brain goes crazy."
Section Chief Liu became thoughtful.
The others nodded vigorously. This statement could not be more appropriate to describe Bai Fendou. After all, they were old neighbors and understood each other very well.
Section Chief Liu: "Don't worry about this matter. The factory will give you an explanation."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled bitterly and said, "I really didn't think this matter had anything to do with me, but since he did it, whether it was true or he just wanted to find an excuse to shirk responsibility, I can't forgive this person."
After a pause, he said, "I'm going back first."
Zhuang Zhixi stood up. This time Section Chief Liu didn't say anything. Seeing Zhuang Zhixi leave, Section Chief Liu cursed: "What kind of things did Bai Fendou do? He really brought shame to our security department."
Zhang Saner: "I think Xiaozhuang really doesn't know about this..."
Li Si nodded and said, "Section Chief, do you think Bai Fendou really intended to plot against Zhuang Zhixi, or did he not intend to plot against Zhuang Zhixi at all, but just took a fancy to Jiang Lu and wanted to take advantage of her? He said he wanted to plot against Zhuang Zhixi only after he was discovered. After all, he could still shirk responsibility for framing his colleagues and neighbors. But if he plotted against a woman, he would go to jail, and in serious cases, he might even have to stay in prison."
Although they believed that Bai Fendou would not do that, they thought again that Bai Fendou was indeed a bit reckless. If he was too reckless, he would inevitably make stupid mistakes.
People are afraid of being impulsive. It is not impossible to act on impulse.
"People's minds are hidden, so who knows. Although all of us, including Zhuang Zhixi, believe that he might really be targeting Zhuang Zhixi. But we really can't believe it completely. First of all, he didn't go to Zhuang Zhixi at all. Zhuang Zhixi has witnesses, and he dared to confront him. I believe he didn't lie. Besides, even if Bai Fendou went to look for him and Zhuang Zhixi didn't go, why did he hide inside and wait for Jiang Lu? This is the most crucial point."
"Yes, no matter whether he went to find Zhuang Zhixi or not, Zhuang Zhixi didn't go, he was still hiding somewhere, and he let Jiang Lu in. It's really not worthy of trust. Besides, he said that he wanted to take revenge on the Su family because the Zhuang family targeted the Su family. This reason is also untenable. Wang Xiangxiu's son is a thief, which is wrong. Why does he want revenge when he didn't even do anything? If he wants revenge, he should also take revenge on the person involved at the time, that is, Zhuang Zhixi's sister-in-law."
"Isn't it?"
"He must still be interested in Jiang Lu and is trying to make a big deal out of a small one."
Chief Liu nodded, "I think that's the case. He should have caught Zhuang Zhixi's mind. You see, Zhuang Zhixi himself thinks that Bai Fendou might take revenge on him because of this incident, because Bai Fendou is impulsive. Maybe he took advantage of everyone's idea and plotted against Jiang Lu. We all think that he is too picky and doesn't like Jiang Lu, but this doesn't mean he wants to marry Jiang Lu. He took advantage of her, and if something really happens, Jiang Lu might not dare to call the police for the sake of face."
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Chief Liu felt that he had seen through the truth. It must be said that smart people always think things are complicated, and Chief Liu was exactly like that. Others in the security department also felt that this was the most reasonable way.
Otherwise, there would be no way to end it. Zhuang Zhixi didn't go, so they just pushed Jiang Lu into the door.
This is a routine, it must be a routine.
It is possible that he went to find Zhuang Zhixi first to make an emergency plan in case his secrets were exposed. It is possible, this is very likely.
I didn't expect this old guy to be so smart.
After Chief Liu's analysis, Zhang Saner spoke up: "Chief, don't think Bai Fendou is stupid. He looks reckless but he never suffers any loss. Even in our security department, he doesn't do much work."
He gets a lot of salary but does little work. He avoids and pushes away night shifts whenever he can. Thinking about it this way, who would dare to say that this person is heartless? "What you said does make some sense."
Section Chief Liu: "This bastard dares to play tricks on me now. I don't think he knows that the Horse King has three eyes."
Wang Erlaizi lowered his voice mysteriously and said, "Section Chief, maybe this matter can be turned into a small one."
"Why? Do you think I'm that kind of person? I'm the most..."
"No, no, of course I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about that person, that Wang Xiangxiu. She has been pestering Zhou Qun all day. We all saw it. She must be pleading for Bai Fendou. If Zhou Qun and his wife change their words and say that Bai Fendou was joking, wouldn't this matter be resolved?"
Section Chief Liu: "What is that?"
He scratched his hair and felt that he really didn't understand these people. What were they doing?
He said, “This is fucking…”
"Let's wait and see."
“That’s right.”
Section Chief Liu: “Bah!”
The security department was bustling with activity. Zhuang Zhixi left the security department with a dark face and a very ugly expression. He returned to the office expressionlessly. It was time to get off work. Sister Cui came over curiously and asked, "Xiao Zhuang, what's going on?"
Zhuang Zhixi did not hide anything and gave a brief account of it.
It didn't matter whether he concealed it or not, because even if he didn't say it, the security department would tell him. So Zhuang Zhixi just told the general situation directly. Everyone was stunned and said, "What the hell, why is this person like this?"
"No, he is really sincere to Wang Xiangxiu."
"Love is as deep as the sea. Most couples don't risk their lives like this."
"Hey, why do you all think he's telling the truth? It could be a lie! If he's really convicted of hooliganism, that's a very serious crime. But if he were to push the matter somewhere else, it might not be that serious. Although framing a colleague is also serious, but it didn't work, right? This isn't a big deal. I think what he said was just an excuse. He was just trying to make up for himself."
"It's possible."
"What's possible? That's it."
"Xiao Zhuang, you are unlucky to have such an unreliable neighbor."
Zhuang Zhixi pretended to smile bitterly and said, "Who said it wasn't true? Whether they really wanted to frame me or drag me in as a shield, I think it's disgusting. How unlucky I am."
"You really have to have such a neighbor."
"A fly won't bite an egg that has no cracks. Why didn't he go after someone else but you? You should reflect on yourself a little bit." The projectionist Xiao Xu said this lightly. There are always some people in this world who specially pop out at times like this to disgust people.
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "I think Brother Xu can understand Bai Fendou's mentality."
"What do you mean!" Xiao Xu was furious. Everyone knew how bad Bai Fendou's reputation was. If such words were spread out, would he still have a good reputation? He hadn't even gotten married yet.
"Zhuang Zhixi, please tell me clearly, are you looking for trouble?"
Zhuang Zhixi was particularly innocent: "Look at you, why are you still angry? If you don't understand Bai Fendou, how can you think from Bai Fendou's perspective? I am the victim who was wronged, and you came up and said it was my fault. Isn't this quite understanding of Bai Fendou? Even if I tell the truth, you will still be scolded by me. Brother Xu, I'm not saying that you have a bad temper. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it's easy to get angry. Don't get angry and do bad things like Bai Fendou. Bai Fendou got his retribution, so don't learn from him."
"You, you, you! You are too arrogant!"
Lao Cao chuckled and said, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
My dearest friend Zhuang Zhixi! Of course he has to help.
He said, "I think what Xiaozhuang said is quite right. Don't accuse him of being arrogant. I think you are quite arrogant. Don't bully him just because he is new here. We all saw it. It's disgusting that Xiaozhuang encountered such a thing, but you still want to jump out of the victim's guilt theory. Does that mean we have to understand those who do bad things and criticize those unlucky people in the future? Your thinking is wrong."
"Old Cao, please stop exaggerating."
Lao Cao: "You are allowed to bully others, but you are not allowed to tell the truth? You are too overbearing."
Sister Cui also spoke up: "That's right, Xiao Xu, it's not good for you to behave like this."
"Yes, Xiao Xu, don't stand and talk without getting your back hurt."
Xiao Xu: "You, you..."
He took a quick look and saw that everyone looked disapproving of him, and he became extremely angry.
He has been in the Propaganda Department for several years, and he thought he got along well with everyone. He didn't expect that everyone would speak up for a newcomer. He was so angry that he said, "Okay, okay, you guys just stick together. Humph."
He stood up angrily: "I won't argue with you."
He went out of the house, leaning on a cane and hopping.
"Summer insects cannot talk about ice!"
Zhuang Zhixi scratched his ears, a little confused: "Is this word used here?"
Lao Huang: "No, he is uneducated."
"puff!"
Everybody laughed.
I have to say that Lao Huang has a bit of dark sense of humor.
"Okay, okay, get off work."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I still have to pick up my wife, so I'll leave first."
"become."
"You two have a great relationship."
"That's just when we got married. My husband picked me up every day when we got married, but he disappeared later."
Zhuang Zhixi walked out of the factory amidst the laughter and chatter, heading for Mingmei's workplace. He didn't go to pick Mingmei up every day, but once or twice a week. As he walked out of the factory, he saw Zhou Qun and Wang Xiangxiu standing on the side of the road talking.
Sometimes it really is like this, even though Zhou Qun and Wang Xiangxiu had a little scandal before. But when they were standing on the roadside talking openly like this, no one was surprised.
Although, there were some winking eyes between them, it didn't mean that I doubted their relationship between men and women, but rather that I felt that Wang Xiangxiu really cared about Bai Fendou.
She didn't even care about her own reputation and helped this man. How could an ordinary woman do that?
Zhuang Zhixi took a look, looked away and left.
It must be said that without Aunt Su's help, Wang Xiangxiu's fighting ability is obviously completely ineffective. She can only exert her abilities when her mother-in-law is around. It is also unknown whether Wang Xiangxiu can convince Zhou Qun.
Zhuang Zhixi thought that if he could place a bet, he would bet that Wang Xiangxiu could convince Zhou Qun, although Wang Xiangxiu did not show any ability to do so. But he still thought that Wang Xiangxiu could do it, after all, Wang Xiangxiu was willing to risk it. Moreover, Zhou Qun did have a weakness.
Zhuang Zhixi walked all the way to the bus station. The guard already knew Zhuang Zhixi and said with a smile, "Xiao Zhuang, are you here to pick up your wife again?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Yes, I stroll here after get off work and consider it as exercise."
The security guard smiled knowingly and said, "That's great."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Mingmei coming out. Mingmei waved at Zhuang Zhixi and smiled: "Brother Zhixi."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Are you tired today?"
He naturally took the bicycle and pushed it. Mingmei jumped onto the back seat and sat down. Zhuang Zhixi said, "See you later, uncle."
"good!"
Zhuang Zhixi was driving his wife back. Mingmei hugged Zhuang Zhixi's waist and said, "Tired? How can I not be tired? My throat is uncomfortable."
She leaned on Zhuang Zhixi's back and said, "What about you? What did you do at work today? Did everything go well?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "It went smoothly. The security department just came to see me twice today."
Mingmei was surprised: "What about Bai Fendou?"
Zhuang Zhixi nodded and said, "It's okay, I can handle it."
He had thought about it long ago. Bai Fendou was a man with no brains. If he was questioned, he would definitely tell the truth. Because he didn't think it was a big deal. But if Jiang Lu was really involved, then the crime would be very serious.
So Bai Fendou will definitely say it, and that is why Zhuang Zhixi had already thought about how to deal with it.
It was not difficult for him to express anger appropriately.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Our mom is really amazing."
Mingmei: "Huh?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Mom told me this morning that sometimes the smarter people are, the more likely they are to overthink. When dealing with the security department, you should tell the truth. Chief Liu is a typical smart person who overthinks."
He sighed, "I think about it carefully, and it's true. The more I believe that Bai Fendou is targeting me, the more Chief Liu probably doesn't believe it."
Mingmei: “…”
Zhuang Zhixi: "You said our mother is very capable, but she actually only met Chief Liu once, and her analysis of him was quite thorough. It turns out that the old ones are the wisest."
Mingmei: “…”
You don't know that your mother was reborn.
She must have met Section Chief Liu more than once, so she must know it.
Mingmei screamed in her heart but couldn't say it out loud. I know a lot of secrets, but I can't tell them so I have to hold them in. It feels so suffocating.
Zhuang Zhixi: "This time, Bai Fendou will have to suffer a lot."
This is what Zhuang Zhixi is happy to see. He said, "But I hope Wang Xiangxiu can be more capable and try to gain Zhou Qun's forgiveness. Let Zhou Qun let Bai Fightu go."
Mingmei looked at him in surprise and asked, "Why?"
She was a little surprised. She thought Zhuang Zhixi wanted the Bai father and son to get out of here as soon as possible. After all, these two people were still plotting against him.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Because I am selfish. Selfish people only care about themselves. Bai Fendou is more useful if he stays. As for the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Su family, they can't live well with only Wang Xiangxiu's salary. His family is not like other families. When they are poor, they save money and can barely eat enough. They can eat coarse grains. Their family also wants a good life. They have to eat fine grains, fish and meat. How can they afford such a life? If they can't afford it, they will definitely suck blood from other families. If the Bai family father and son don't leave, their family will always stick to the Bai family. This has nothing to do with us. But if their family leaves, the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Su family will lose their support. face, they can also come up. I have seen that they have no bottom line in doing things. Although it's good if we don't fool ourselves, it's always annoying if we are entangled! So I think it's better for the Bai family father and son not to leave. Anyway, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer."
Zhuang Zhixi never concealed his selfishness. This was how it was in that era. If one couldn't even feed his own family, how could he possibly care about other people's families?
In the past, his nephews and nieces did not eat as much fine grain as the three brothers Jinlai who had lost their father, nor did they eat better, so why should he sympathize with others? Is he just bored?
His family hasn't eaten enough yet.
Mingmei: "I understand you!"
She swung her legs and said, "I think you're right."
She opened her eyes wide with curiosity and asked, "Do you think Wang Xiangxiu can convince Zhou Qun?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Wang Xiangxiu may not be able to do it, but with Aunt Su, she should be able to do it. Aunt Su may not be very strong in combat, but at the critical moment, she is very vicious. She will definitely be able to think of a way."
Mingmei: "Is Aunt Su so powerful?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "That's right, what do you think? What she did was really tough. Don't look at some trivial matters in our courtyard. She backed down for no reason, but in fact, she never backed down on big things. Even if it was shameless, she would achieve her wish. Just look at her house! She was really willing to go all out to make a scene. The pillar of the family also passed away, and Aunt Zhou made a scene out of loneliness. But she was able to get something."
Mingmei nodded in approval.
The Su family's house, with several square main rooms, is enough for the time being even if all the grandchildren get married. This shows the ability of this old lady.
Mingmei: "I said, they... Ugh."
Mingmei suddenly covered her mouth, frowned, and said, "Slow down, I'm not comfortable with the bumping."
Zhuang Zhixi: “Okay.”
He looked back at his wife worriedly and said, "Are you feeling unwell? You had nausea the night before last. Why don't we go to the hospital?"
Since going up the mountain that day, maybe because she ate too much greasy food, Mingmei's stomach has not been very good these days. She always feels nauseous. Zhuang Zhixi was very worried and said, "I have an acquaintance in the hospital. Let's go directly there."
Mingmei shook her head and said, "I should be fine. It may be because of the hot weather that my stomach is not feeling well. Let's go home. Mom must be waiting for us to eat at home."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Oh no, why are you still afraid of seeing a doctor?"
Mingmei: “No.”
She said coquettishly: "I'll take a day off tomorrow and go see it in the afternoon, okay?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Then I'll accompany you."
Mingmei hummed softly and said, "Okay."
She leaned on Zhuang Zhixi's back and pouted unhappily. She didn't really like going to the hospital.
"It's okay."
Mingmei looked up: "Hmm?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Mingmei snorted, and Zhuang Zhixi laughed and said, "What's the matter? You're still not convinced?"
Mingmei: “Yes.”
Zhuang Zhixi: "Then I will take you to the hospital now."
Mingmei: "...You really are not a good person."
Her face was a little more unhappy, but Zhuang Zhixi laughed heartily. The couple went home together, turned into the alley, and soon arrived home. The couple pushed the cart into the house and happened to meet Chef Li. Chef Li sighed: "You two have a good relationship. You are going to pick up your wife again."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "Of course."
He looked at Chef Li and said, "Uncle Li, this is good."
Uncle Li carried a net bag with a lunch box inside. On the lunch box was a fried cake wrapped in oil paper.
Chef Li smiled proudly. He worked in the kitchen, and these were essential. But he also knew that some things should not be said publicly, so he said, "Well, today a fellow teacher of mine came to see me and brought me some food. I couldn't bear to eat it, so I brought it back for the children to taste."
Actually, only the fried dough sticks were brought by his junior fellow apprentice, the dishes in the lunch box were not brought by his junior apprentice. However, Chef Li did not say this.
Although he took leftovers from the cafeteria, he was usually very careful and didn't do it in a blatant way.
He knew that the chef of the second canteen had been reported because he was too ostenatious. Fortunately, he only took some soup that day, otherwise he would have been criticized. If he was criticized a few times, it would be nothing. The most feared thing was that he would be demoted and have his salary reduced, or be transferred out of the canteen.
So on this point, Chef Li was very cautious.
Everyone knows that the cafeteria has this benefit, but if it's just cabbage soup or something, it's nothing. If it's something really good, people might get jealous. So Chef Li is not arrogant.
It's not like others are not jealous of this, but if you catch him taking real meat or freshly cooked vegetables, then it's definitely not okay. But if you only catch him taking some soup.
Then there is no point in reporting it.
Everyone assumes that the chef would do this, and although the soup is good, it is not very valuable.
If the whistleblower fails to catch the perpetrator after reporting once or twice, he will be criticized. So Chef Li was very cautious and everything went smoothly.
Two people were talking at the door. Jin Lai from the Su family was standing at the door, looking over here, his eyes fixed on the fried dough cake. This child was really hopeless.
Chef Li: "Oh no, someone in this yard is cooking meat. It smells delicious."
Zhuang Zhixi: “Yes.”
He followed the smell and said, "Oh, come on, this is my house."
Aunt Zhou sat at the door and said jealously, "You stewed a snake at home."
The smell had already come out a long time ago. She sat at the door greedily, but did not go over to ask for it. She was not the shameless Su family who claimed to be rich. She looked down on such cheap behavior. So even though she was greedy, she only smelled the smell and would not go over to ask for it.
She had already thought it through. She would sit at the door and eat some pancakes, enjoying the aroma of his house as a dish!
This was considered a win for her! "Snake?" Chef Li looked at Zhuang Zhixi in confusion.
Zhuang Zhixi: "My family caught a grass snake during a spring outing a few days ago. I thought my mother was reluctant to eat it, but I didn't expect..."
"Ouch!"
Mingmei couldn't help it and turned around and started to retch.
Zhuang Zhixi: "What's wrong?"
He looked at his wife worriedly, stepped forward and patted her on the back, saying, "Is everything okay?"
Mingmei raised her head with a bitter look and said, "I can't eat this stuff. It makes me sick just by hearing it."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay, okay, then I won't eat it."
Aunt Zhou rolled her eyes and muttered quietly, "Pretentious."
This is meat, and it tastes even better than chicken. How can you be so pretentious and not eat it? What a shame!
If you don't want to eat it, give it to me! It would be better if your whole family doesn't eat it.
Aunt Zhou grumbled to herself, but no one paid any attention to her. Even if she didn't want to eat, it wasn't her turn. She was just being too sentimental.
Zhuang Zhixi took Mingmei home. Zhao Guihua asked, "What happened?"
She looked at Mingmei's face, which was a little pale. At this time, the stewed grass snake had just been boiled. Zhao Guihua boiled the pot. Mingmei: "Ugh..."
She turned her head and this time she really vomited, it was not just dry heaving.
Zhuang Zhixi was startled and said, "Wife, please don't scare me. Are you okay? No, don't delay, come with me to the hospital now. You can't have gastroenteritis. Otherwise, how could this happen?"
Although he knew that his wife was a little scared of snakes and didn't dare to eat them, Zhuang Zhixi still felt that she was not just scared of the snakes, but that it was not appropriate. He said, "Mom, Mingmei may have a bad stomach. I'll take her to the hospital." At this time, he blamed himself for not insisting on taking Mingmei to the hospital.
Zhao Guihua also came out at this time and asked, "Are you okay?"
Mingmei shook her head gently and said, "It's okay, I just feel sick... Ugh."
Zhao Guihua looked at her daughter-in-law suspiciously for a long time, and suddenly said, "Are you pregnant?"
She thought about it carefully and felt that her daughter-in-law should have a child by about this time.
Mingmei: “Ah?”
She looked up in shock.
Zhuang Zhixi was also shocked. Zhuang Zhixi: "What?"
The couple are really of the same mind, like two idiots.
Zhao Guihua decisively said, "Come on, I'll take you to the hospital. My eldest daughter-in-law, you watch the pot, and you can eat first when it's ready."
Priscilla Leung: "Ah? Oh, okay!"
She watched her mother-in-law leading people out in a hurry, with a somewhat subtle expression on her face.
Is my sister-in-law...pregnant? Then there will be one more person in the family in the future. She sighed softly. The two children in their family will have less good treatment in the future. She sighed heavily and felt very depressed.
Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei were both experiencing this kind of thing for the first time. They were dragged out of the house by Zhao Guihua like kites. Zhao Guihua said, "Let's go. Don't ride the bike. Third brother, push Mingmei."
Mingmei scratched her head and said, "No need? I can just walk."
Zhao Guihua rolled her eyes at her and said, "Why do you have so much trouble? Do you have more experience, or do I?"
Mingmei said firmly: "You."
Zhao Guihua: "What else do you have to say? Just listen to me."
Aunt Zhou was still in shock when she saw them rushing out. After everyone had gone far away, she realized what they were talking about. Zhao Guihua's daughter-in-law might be pregnant.
This realization made Aunt Zhou's expression change suddenly, and her whole face looked extremely ugly, as if someone owed her a huge sum of money.
For her, the thing she couldn't stand the most in the past ten years was other people's "pregnancy". Others had children one after another, but her family didn't have any. She wanted a grandson, why was it so difficult?
Her eldest grandson!
If it really doesn't work, even if it's a granddaughter, it's okay to have one first, and then call her Zhaodi, and you can attract a younger brother. As a sister, you can also make contributions to your younger brother, and when you get married, you can get a dowry for your younger brother, which is also very good.
So Aunt Zhou does not reject her granddaughter.
But, but, but! Now there is nothing, not a single thing.
No grandchildren, none.
But in other families, children are born one after another.
Zhao Guihua is younger than her, but she already has grandsons and granddaughters.
Now, there is movement in his house again?
Aunt Zhou couldn't hold it in any longer. She cried out in pain, "Jiang Lu, you are such a heartless person! You are such a bastard! You have cut off the roots of our Zhou family! Jiang Lu, you deserve to die! You are guilty!"
Aunt Zhou burst into tears. Jiang Lu was cooking in the house. She was stunned when she heard the noise.
He was fine all of a sudden, but he went crazy. It's hard to imagine why.
Her expression changed and she bit her lip and said, "Mom, I..."
"Pah!" A slap hit Jiang Lu's face. Aunt Zhou jumped up and down and shouted, "Look, look, the newly married daughter-in-law is already pregnant, what about you? Where is the child you are going to give birth to for our Zhou family?"
She cried with snot and tears: "I am so old, what do I want? I just want to have a grandson. But look at you, Jiang Lu, I helped you destroy my Zhou family!"
Jiang Lu stood there in a daze.
Jiang Lu was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but all of a sudden, it was as if he was a punctured balloon, all deflated, and he hung his head, looking listless.
Aunt Zhou was still crying and yelling. She felt that she was the most pitiful person in the world. Her husband died early, and her son had yet to leave a descendant for the Zhou family. The culprit for all these things was Jiang Lu, the person in front of her.
This woman is unreliable.
Zhou Qun heard the crying outside the house and frowned impatiently. Women are annoying. Apart from crying, they don't seem to have anything else to do. He became more and more irritated. He calmed down a few times and said, "That's enough for you."
Aunt Zhou's cries were drowned out by his voice and could no longer be heard.
He walked out the door and said, "Mom, let's just let fate take its course with this child. Why are you blaming it all on Jiang Lu?"
The neighbors nodded after hearing this. Although Zhou Qun had a lot of problems with the old woman outside, he was really good to Jiang Lu. No matter when, he always stood in front of Jiang Lu to protect her. Such a man is really rare.
These gentlemen would never care about such things.
Only Zhou Qun always stands by his wife, which is truly enviable.
Jiang Lu thought so too. She looked up at Zhou Qun with tears in her eyes.
"Son, don't take it lightly. Just protect your wife. You forgot your mother when you got a wife. Don't you think about who has been with you for so many years? Now you are yelling at me for someone who can't have children. Xiao Qun, your father died early, and you are hurting my heart like this? You must listen to me on this matter. If your wife can't have children anymore, you have to drive her away even if you have to risk being criticized!"
Jiang Lu shook a little and looked at Zhou Qun for help. She bit her lips and was in great pain.
Zhou Qun's expression was just as painful. At this moment, the two of them seemed to be a couple in a love story who could not be together, filled with pain. Zhou Qun took a deep breath and said, "Mom, don't make a scene outside. It's not good. Let's go home and talk about it."
"What's the point of going home? Where is my home? Without my grandson, I have no home."
Zhou Qun immediately stepped forward, hugged Aunt Zhou, and said, "Mom, I am your son. We are a family when we are together. Let's go home and talk."
He pulled Aunt Zhou hard, and Jiang Lu, who was standing beside him, shook in pain. At this time, she saw Zhou Qun winking at her, and she quickly stepped forward to hold Aunt Zhou's other arm, and the two of them dragged Aunt Zhou into the door. Zhou Qun locked the door, blocking everyone's sight.
Old Man Lan and his wife Luo Xiaohe were both latecomers, so they didn't get to know all the people involved.
Luo Xiaohe was a bit indifferent. Although she was curious, she didn't care much about other people's affairs. Even if she was curious, she wouldn't speak up. But Lan Sihai stopped Aunt Wang and asked, "How many years have they been married?"
Aunt Wang: “About ten years.”
She paused and said, "It's very hard to have no children. But Aunt Zhou is also heartless. When Jiang Lu got married, it was during those three years when every household was starving. Jiang Lu's family was well off, and she brought a lot of food from her parents' home. At that time, every household in our family was skinny from hunger, but Zhou Qun from his family was still strong. Even Aunt Zhou had some flesh on her face, and she looked healthy and energetic in front of others. She didn't even mention being able to eat solid food every day at that time."
Other families may not pay attention to this, but Aunt Wang’s family is a family of cooks, and they pay the most attention to food. So this made a particularly deep impression on them.
"How come you don't have any children?"
Lan Sihai: "Let's go to the hospital for a checkup. Without a checkup, how can we know who has the problem?"
Luo Xiaohe nodded aside. Although she and Lan Sihai were a couple who got married later in life, they got along very well. She felt that Lan Sihai was a very good person in both his conduct and his work. He was also fair, unlike some people who were becoming more and more confused.
That's right; being unable to have children is not necessarily the woman's problem.
But Aunt Wang said, "They have to go, their family won't go. I've told Jiang Lu that this matter is really someone's fault. Maybe it was Zhou Qun who messed around with the old lady when she was young, and the problem is still there. We still have to go and see. Maybe it's not her problem. But Jiang Lu scolded me for meddling in other people's business. She said I couldn't bear to see their family doing well and fabricated her man's reputation. What kind of person is this... Let her be, whether she wants to check or not, it has nothing to do with us."
Lan Sihai raised his eyebrows and said, "This is a simple family. So simple."
Aunt Wang: “…”
Will you die if you don’t act sarcastic for a day?
But the sarcasm is correct, this family is really irritating.
Instead, Luo Xiaohe smiled and dragged Lan Sihai home, saying, "Let's go, let's go home and have dinner too."
The two entered the house, and Lan Sihai said, "This family doesn't know what's good for them. We should stay away from them in the future."
Luo Xiaohe: "I know this. I don't like to interact with people that much anyway." This is caused by her life experience. After a pause, she said: "Speaking of which, how come I heard that Mingmei seems to be pregnant?"
Lan Sihai: "It's not confirmed yet. Let's wait and see. Who knows if it's gastroenteritis caused by eating too much."
"Is there anyone who treats his grandfather like you?"
Lan Sihai smiled and said, "I think Mingmei likes me as her grandpa very much. Wouldn't it be better if she doesn't interfere too much? Let's talk about it after it's confirmed. Let's eat."
Compared to Lan Sihai's calmness, others might not be so. The Su family was very jealous and cursed, "This damn girl should be infertile as well. How can she get pregnant? Even if she gets pregnant, it will definitely be a daughter."
"that is."
Both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law are very jealous. Even if it has nothing to do with them, they still hope that others have a bad life.
Soon, Aunt Su suddenly revealed a sinister smile and said, "I thought of this way to help the Bai family father and son out of trouble."
"Um?"
Aunt Su said meaningfully: "What the Zhou family wants most is a son..."
Wang Xiangxiu: "I listen to you. I've already said this. Zhou Qun won't do it."
She was a little embarrassed. Although she was trying to trick Zhou Qun, she didn't expect that he would not be moved. This made her very embarrassed. She was so nice, how could these men not understand? They were really blind.
Aunt Su: "He doesn't like you because he thinks you can't really give birth to a child for him. Plus, you and Bai Fightun are not clear about it, so he doesn't trust you. But what if we find someone innocent?"
Wang Xiangxiu: “!!!”
She was shocked: "Where can we find one? This is not the old society anymore. People can't do this..."
Aunt Su: "You are looking for someone in the surrounding areas of the city, which shows that you have some knowledge. They will definitely not do it. The rural area where I come from is relatively poor, and all the girls want to marry into the city. Wouldn't it be great if I could persuade someone to come and give birth to Zhou Qun's child?"
Wang Xiangxiu was even more shocked and stammered, "But won't it be exposed? Will I agree? Jiang Lu will not divorce Zhou Qun."
She said anxiously, "Besides, if you bring a girl here, the neighbors will be able to tell."
Aunt Su: "I'll find a way. The Zhou family is so well-off. I believe they are willing to pay them off. There will be no problem. I believe that even if someone did it, they would not be unhappy. She can give birth to a son and enjoy life in the city. What's wrong with her going back and pretending to be a grown-up girl and getting married? Besides, when she gets older, she can go home and recognize her parents. She will have more sons in the city to support. Jiang Lu is just an adopted mother. She is nothing. I think smart people will definitely see the benefits of it."
“Ah, this…”
Wang Xiangxiu was a little confused for a moment. Even though she was an extraordinary character, she was still stunned at this moment.
Why is her mother-in-law's idea so weird?
But Aunt Su was happy. She said, "If we can save the Bai family father and son with this incident, we can't ask for less benefits. We have put in a lot of effort."
What did they work so hard for? Wasn't it just to get a salary for the two father and son? Wang Xiangxiu: "That's fine, but how could Jiang Lu agree? She's not a fool..."
"She has to agree. It has come to this. What other options does she have?" Aunt Su sneered and said, "This thing can work."
Wang Xiangxiu took a deep breath and said, "Then teach me how to say it, and I'll go over."
"You can't do it. I'll go and talk to them." Aunt Su stood up and said, "Only if I take action can they listen to me."
Although this banker's young wife is annoying, she gave them some good inspiration.
She looked at the quarrel coming from the Zhou family's house, took small steps, and quietly went over to knock on the door...
This long-term meal ticket must not be lost!
Zhao Guihua and Zhuang Zhixi drove Mingmei to the hospital together. Mingmei kept mumbling along the way: "I don't feel sick anymore. Could it be that I'm just feeling sick from my stomach?"
In fact, she and Zhuang Zhixi didn't want to have children so early. They just got married and wanted to stay together. If they had a child, they would have to take care of it. They were somewhat resistant to it. Although other families did have children right after marriage, they would inevitably be criticized for having children late.
But Mingmei is different. Her mother told her that having a child is not an easy thing. Once a child is born, you have to take care of the child. Especially for dual-income families, no matter how casually you raise the child, you still have to put in a lot of effort.
Especially as a mother.
As a father, he can be a little lazy, but as a mother, it is not the case. He is tied up by his child all the time. When the child is a little older, he can be let out to play with the older children, but he has to suffer during those years when he is young.
Mingmei felt a headache just thinking about it.
She and Brother Zhixi were obviously avoiding each other to some extent, and Mingmei's cheeks were puffed up like chubby balls.
Zhuang Zhixi patted her hands and said, "Don't worry. No matter what happens, we'll know when we go and see."
He could see that Mingmei was a little resistant to the hospital. He smiled and said, "You must have been very afraid of injections and medication when you were a child."
Mingmei didn't feel embarrassed at all and said, "How can a child like it? Ask Hutou and Xiaoyanzi if they like it?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "I can't refute what you said."
Zhuang Zhixi pinched her cheek and said, "Let's go see the doctor. It would be better if nothing is wrong, but it would be even better if something is wrong. Let's pay more attention to it."
Zhao Guihua thought that what her youngest son said was quite reasonable. She nodded and said, "That's right. If you feel this way, it's better to prepare early. There are many newly married wives who don't know much about these things, so after getting pregnant, they are still careless as before. It's because of carelessness that they lost their first child. In fact, losing a child is not good for a woman's body. It's good for us to be more careful."
Mingmei: “That’s true.”
Zhao Guihua: "Besides, you should pay attention to your work environment early on."
She said earnestly: "Pregnancy is a difficult process for women. From the beginning to the birth, there are so many things to deal with. You have to be more careful."
Mingmei asked curiously, "Mom, how did you feel when you gave birth to Zhixi?"
Zhao Guihua waved her hands: "Well, our time was different from now. We were all very rough back then, and no one took giving birth seriously. It was hard for a poor family to even get food, so why would they care so much? I gave birth to all three of my children at home, and I hired a midwife for the first two. The third was premature, and I went into labor before the midwife showed up. It was this kid who didn't sympathize with me while in my belly. Fortunately, I have a lot of experience, otherwise I would have gone to hell. Giving birth was like not going to the toilet for several days, my stomach was cramping, but I couldn't go."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
He said faintly: "Mom, if you can't describe it, you don't have to describe it."
Zhao Guihua: "I'd love to!"
Mingmei: Ying Ying! (End of chapter)
