Chapter 510 Lend You a Butcher Knife
Zhang A-mei was really hit hard this time and lay in bed at home for three days without moving.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I was so angry that I vomited blood, smashed things, and cursed.
Only then did she realize that she could never strangle anyone.
She couldn't hold Wu Jianguo back:
In order to get rid of her forever, Wu Jianguo chose to commit suicide.
She couldn't hold Zhang Min back:
In order to get rid of her forever, Zhang Min left home alone.
She couldn't even hold back the Wu siblings:
She wanted to drag the Wu siblings into the quagmire to serve as stepping stones for Zhang Min, but she didn't know that so many people reached out to them, not only pulling them out of the quagmire, but also lifting them to the top of the mountain that Zhang Min would never be able to reach in her lifetime.
Everyone left her.
She cursed everyone in the house.
But what's the use?
Originally, she hadn't gone around asking people whether Wu Shanshan had taken the money, and no one knew about it. But now the whole cotton mill knew about it:
She killed Old Wu, so when Old Wu's daughter and son came back from other places, they bypassed her and sent Old Wu to the mountain. No one sympathized with her and everyone made fun of her.
Now, even the people selling vegetables on the street recognize her.
When she went to buy groceries today, someone was pointing and talking behind her:
"That's her, that's her... She used to be so powerful! Now the child is grown up, and she can't handle him anymore!"
"That's right, retribution!"
"God has eyes..."
Zhang A-mei walked quickly past several stalls where people were chatting and went to a more secluded stall to buy vegetables.
The stall owner snatched the vegetable from her hand and shouted, "Not for sale."
"Why?" Zhang A'mei was still stunned.
“I won’t sell it to you!”
The stall owner's voice became louder, and then another stall owner seconded the proposal:
"That's right! Go buy it at a state-owned store. We wouldn't sell you this shabby stuff even if it's rotten and thrown away!"
In the past, some people called her a vicious stepmother, but they only cursed her behind her back and never said it openly. Now, no one cares anymore.
Zhang A'mei hadn't cooked for several days and had finished her biscuits. She couldn't bear it any longer and went out to buy some vegetables to cook. The state-owned store was too far away, so she thought of buying something at the street corner, but she didn't expect that she couldn't buy a single vegetable.
It was almost time to get off work in the afternoon, so she went to a state-owned store and bought some wilted vegetables. The price was much higher than what she got at the stall near her home.
When I walked back to the alley, I saw a tall and strong woman standing at the door of my house, leaning on the gate to look inside.
"Who are you? What are you looking at?"
Zhang A-mei rushed over and the female comrade turned around.
She was in her thirties, a full head taller than Zhang A-mei. She was wearing a dirty old blue cloth work suit, a black rubber apron, and black rubber rain boots. The work suit and the leather apron were stained all over.
Zhang A-mei felt that she looked familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had seen her.
When she heard Zhang A'mei's cry, she tilted her head and stared at Zhang A'mei.
"Who are you?" Seeing the other person's fierce face, Zhang A-mei's voice became timid when she asked again.
The female comrade just looked at her coldly without answering, and then looked towards the entrance of the alley.
At this moment, a well-dressed man carrying a briefcase entered the alley.
Wang Yong also entered the alley with him. He happened to meet this man after get off work. The two seemed to know each other and walked over while chatting. He pointed at the Wu family while chatting, which made Zhang A'mei even more confused.
The man saw the woman at the gate and waved, "Comrade Jiang, you're here too!"
"Ah! Director Li, I'm waiting for you! Our Engineer Fan is busy, so I came." Jiang Manye's voice is as strong as her figure.
"What are you doing?" Zhang A'mei yelled, not knowing where the anger came from.
"What do you want to do? I told you to move out! You are not from the cotton mill! Why do you occupy our cotton mill's house?" Wang Yong snorted coldly and stood at the door without leaving.
He was afraid that Li Mingwei, the director of the Housing Management Office, was no match for Zhang A-mei, so he prepared to help.
"What did you say! Wang Yong, you bastard!" Zhang A'mei cursed.
"Hey, hey, hey, Zhang A-mei, be careful! It's because you swear every day that the neighbors are so upset with you! This alley is not yours alone! This house is not yours alone!
Don't you even consider other people's feelings? I finally understand why everyone is so upset with you. They're already scolding you before I even open my mouth!"
Li Mingwei educated him with a serious expression.
Zhang A-mei was so angry that she had no place to vent her anger. So she pointed at him and cursed:
"Who are you? You're meddling in my affairs! I'm not an employee of your factory. What's the point of you putting on airs and pretending to be an official? What can you do to me? Go back to where you came from!"
"You lesbian... no wonder... no wonder..."
Li Mingwei was stuttering and trying to retort when he saw Jiang Manye stand in front of him and push Zhang A-mei away with a palm.
Although her push seemed light, she actually had extraordinary strength. Zhang A-mei took several steps back and sat down on the ground with a "bang".
"Shut up! I can't control you and you're going to make a scene, right? Don't you even look at whose house you live in?" Jiang Manye shouted at Zhang A'mei.
After yelling at Zhang A-mei, she turned to Li Mingwei and said in a softer voice, "Secretary Li, stop wasting time with her and get down to business!"
Li Mingwei nodded, quickly took out the document from his briefcase, took two steps forward, and held it in front of Zhang A-mei:
"Zhang Amei, your husband Wu Jianguo has passed away. Our factory has fulfilled its obligation to help with his funeral. Now we want to take back this property and distribute it to other factory employees."
Zhang A-mei looked at Li Mingwei blankly.
She understood every word, but she didn't understand!
"What are you talking about? I'm Wu Jianguo's wife. He worked for the cotton mill for decades and now he's dead. You're kicking me out after just a few days. Are you a human being?"
Li Mingwei was about to speak when Jiang Manye sneered:
"Talking about contribution, huh? My man is a mechanical expert! He even knows German! The new machines in the factory all depend on him; without him, they wouldn't even work! Your man is just a small worker in a workshop, he's nothing!"
I'm not afraid to tell you, hurry up and move out, we're still waiting to move in! We were given special treatment by the Industrial Bureau and the factory and were put in the front of the queue! It's because my husband is useful to the factory, you know!"
Li Mingwei coughed quickly and continued:
"Sister Jiang's lover, Mr. Fan, is a professional..."
Zhang Amei interrupted him:
"I don't care if you're a genius or a fool. It's impossible! Don't even think about asking me to move out! If I move, I'll die here..."
"Die, die, die! You die, like who's afraid? I butcher a pig a day. I have over a dozen boning knives, butchering knives, and axes. I'm very fast. Would you like to lend me one? I can even tell you where to cut for the quickest death!"
Jiang Manye sneered and patted her chest which was as strong as a mountain.
Zhang A-mei suddenly remembered that she had seen her at a meat stall in a private vegetable market.
"I won't move! If you can..."
"Comrade Zhang A-mei, please listen to me first. You can't just cheat and get away with it. You're occupying such a large yard by yourself, and some of the other employees waiting in line have been waiting for years with their families. Just think about it and you know it's impossible for you to live here.
These houses are factory property, not personal property. If you continue to occupy them, the police will report you and have you arrested! This is called misappropriation of organizational property, understand? It's a serious crime, punishable by more than ten years in prison!"
Li Mingwei began to scare Zhang A-mei.
