Chapter 289 Another Loss
When Zhang A-mei heard this, she didn't understand for a moment and stared at Wu Jianguo blankly.
"Wu Jianguo! Are you a human being? Today is New Year's Eve, and you tell me you can't live with me anymore! I serve you every day, how have I failed in my service? Do you have any conscience?"
Wu Jianguo looked at her but didn't respond.
"Why do I have to serve your family of three? I am not a human being and they are not my children, why should I care about them? Have you served Xiao Min?"
Wu Jianguo said truthfully:
"It's not that I don't want to live with you, it's that I really can't live with you anymore. Who wants their family to be like this? We are not the only ones who are remarried. Why is it not the same for other families?
They don't need you to serve them, as long as their attitude is even a little better. Not to mention the two of them, now even Xiao Min and I don't want to go back to this home.
We hesitated as soon as we reached the entrance of the alley. The thought of returning home to the same situation was really painful.”
Zhang A-mei sneered:
"Wu Jianguo, I finally understand. I've helped you raise them for a few years. Now Wu Shanshan will be able to earn money soon, and Wu Jun is also grown up. You are planning to kick me out and leave the job to Wu Jun, right? Don't worry, I will never let you have an easy life. I will not divorce you! I will drag you to death!"
You will have no one to serve you in the future, and you can't find another woman! I will sit at the factory gate and scold you every day! I will scold you at the alley entrance! Let others laugh at you! Laugh at you, a useless thing!
Anyway, I have lost my face a long time ago, so what do I have to be afraid of! I don’t want to be a temporary worker anymore. If you dare to leave the job to Wu Jun, that’s fine! Then Zhang Min will be an unemployed vagrant, and the two of us will just lie at home and eat every day, and you will support her. As long as we are not divorced, you have to support her.
In the future, Wu Jun wants to use this house to marry a wife. Haha, you don’t even want it. I will make a fuss, cry and beat you up every day. I don’t think anyone dares to come to my house!"
Wu Jianguo looked at Zhang A-mei with horror.
"Just give up on this idea. Don't even think about getting rid of me in your life!" Zhang A'mei concluded.
The three children outside the kitchen heard Zhang A-mei's terrifying laughter coming from the kitchen.
Then, Zhang A'mei snatched the kitchen knife from Wu Jianguo's hand as if in revenge.
Wu Jianguo was frightened and wanted to take it back. Zhang A'mei let him take it and turned to leave the kitchen.
Wu Jun stopped his sister behind him and clenched his fists.
However, Zhang A-mei did not come towards them, but left the house.
Wu Jianguo followed her out out of concern, and saw Zhang A'mei go to the chicken coop, grab a chicken, bring it back to the kitchen, and then start killing and plucking the chicken without saying a word.
After cleaning the chicken, she cut it into pieces and started stewing it.
Wu Jianguo was so frightened by her that he called out timidly, "Sister..."
"Chicken noodle soup tonight. I'm being generous this time, right?"
Wu Jianguo grabbed Zhang A'mei's hand and said, "A'mei, I was just angry. How could I divorce you? No, don't be angry. Don't think too much. I didn't mean that."
"Okay, I understand. You go out and I'll do it." Zhang A'mei withdrew her hand.
"I'll help you..."
"No."
"No, no, I'll help you." Wu Jianguo didn't dare to leave the kitchen at all. She was afraid that Zhang A'mei would kill the whole family with rat poison, so she insisted on staying in the kitchen to help.
Zhang A'mei didn't say anything and just let him do it.
Wu Jianguo brought a large pot of cooked chicken soup to the table, and Zhang A'mei followed behind with the cooked noodles.
"Come on, Xiaomin, Shanshan, Xiaojun, come and have dinner. Mom made chicken soup." Wu Jianguo greeted them.
Zhang Min heard about the chicken soup and ran out of the house, laughing, "Mom, that's right! This is what Chinese New Year is like!"
After the three of them were seated, Wu Shanshan and Wu Jun walked over.
The two looked at each other, and each scooped up a spoonful of plain noodles and put some pickles on the noodles.
Wu Jianguo put one chicken leg in Zhang A-mei's bowl and the other in Zhang Min's bowl.
Zhang A-mei looked at him, and the anger in her eyes finally faded a little.
She knew that Wu Jianguo could easily control her.
Wu Jianguo picked up another piece of chicken and was about to put it into Wu Jun's bowl, but Zhang A-mei coughed. Wu Jianguo then put down the meat, picked up the soup spoon, scooped some chicken soup and handed it to Wu Jun's bowl.
Wu Shanshan stopped him:
"Dad, we don't want it. We're already full after eating rice cakes. The main reason we eat this mouthful of noodles is because today is the 30th anyway, and I want to eat a mouthful with you. It's like having a New Year's Eve dinner with you."
This is the last time, Wu Shanshan thought.
After the two siblings finished their noodles, they sat there quietly, looking out the window and listening to the sound of firecrackers from other people's homes.
Wu Jianguo felt bad, but he felt that he could not change anything.
While the three of them were eating, Wu Shanshan said to Wu Jun:
"Go for a walk with me to help me digest the food."
The two left home and didn't go far before sitting down by the stone bridge, watching the hustle and bustle of other people's homes.
Wu Shanshan smiled and said:
"Next year, we won't have to celebrate the New Year here. I'll take you to my university to celebrate the New Year."
Wu Jun nodded happily: "Sister, that's great! But if you can't take care of me for the time being, just leave me alone. I'm fine. If she doesn't give me food and clothes, I'll go to the neighborhood committee to find Director Liu, and to the trade union to find Director Lan. As long as she gives me food and clothes, I'll read my books and ignore her."
"How could I not take care of you? I can't just abandon you. Just focus on your studies. You also have to believe in my ability. There will be no problem supporting both of us."
"I don't need you to support me. I can support myself in the future. I definitely can't make as much money as you, but I will never drag you down." Wu Jun said solemnly.
"No, it's my sister who's dragging you down. If I hadn't insisted on going against them, your life would have been easier."
"Sister, don't say that. If you don't pass the exam, we will have no future together."
Hearing Wu Jun's words, Wu Shanshan looked at him puzzledly.
Wu Jun smiled innocently: "Brother Tunan told me that, and I think he makes a lot of sense."
When the two returned home, the other three had already turned off the lights and gone to bed.
At around ten o'clock, Zhang Min started shouting first.
Next is Zhang A-mei.
Finally, there is Wu Jianguo.
Wu Shanshan and Wu Jun didn't take it seriously at first, but something seemed increasingly wrong, so they put on their clothes and got up to take a look.
As a result, they held their stomachs and cried, and suffered from vomiting and diarrhea.
"Sister! What happened?" Wu Jun was just a child after all, and he was a little panicked when he saw this scene.
"I'm afraid he ate something bad! Xiaojun, go get someone to help take him to the hospital!" Wu Shanshan saw that the situation was really serious, so she gave orders to Wu Jun.
The only people you can ask for help in this alley are the Lin family and the Li family.
At this time, they were all still awake. They were sitting at Song Ying's house watching the Spring Festival Gala. When they heard Wu Jun's cry for help, they all ran out.
Li Yiming and Mr. Lin rushed to Wu's house and found the situation was quite serious, so they quickly arranged to send the person to the hospital.
The couple were placed in Grandpa Li's tricycle, Zhang Min was carried on Li Yiming's bicycle, and Song Ying and Wu Shanshan supported him on the left and right.
After going to the hospital for a check-up, it was confirmed that I had food poisoning. I didn't eat anything in the evening, so it could only be the chicken.
After feeling better, Wu Jianguo asked Zhang A'mei about the chicken. Zhang A'mei hesitated and finally said that it was the other chickens that had problems, and she only dared to kill and eat this chicken after seeing that it was fine.
Wu Jianguo was almost mad at her.
However, Wu Jun and Wu Shanshan escaped because they did not eat anything.
The three of them had to be hospitalized from the first to the third day of the Lunar New Year and have not been discharged yet. When Wu Shanshan came to deliver food, she told the couple that Wang Yong had reported their family on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Wang Yong told the factory that the chickens raised by the Wu family were infected with fowl plague, which had already killed three of the five members of the family. It was very likely to endanger the safety of residents in the alley. If people in the alley were infected with the disease and then spread the disease to the factory, it would be a big deal.
The factory took it very seriously and came to check on the second day of the Lunar New Year. On the third day, they arranged for people from the security department and the factory health department to come and remove all the chickens from their home and ordered them not to raise any more chickens, otherwise they would punish the two people.
At that time, only Wu Shanshan and Wu Jun were at home, and the factory doctor even disinfected the house.
Zhang A'mei had just recovered from her illness. When she heard the news, she didn't even have the energy to curse and fainted from anger.
Because of the incident at the Wu family, the entire alley was in turmoil.
The dealer was also in a state of panic.
