Chapter 34 Sign an Agreement
The factory director, Zhou Huaiyi, was 35 years old. He was assigned to be the deputy director of the factory after he was discharged from the army due to injury. He became the factory director a year ago for his great contribution in protecting state property.
He used to be a scout, and when he first heard about this, he was confused.
After rushing to the hospital and listening to just a few words, he had already seen through Huang Ling's pettiness.
He became interested and watched her performance patiently.
Listening to her trivial family conflicts is really infuriating.
"Comrade Huang, these contradictions can be resolved. There is no need to commit suicide. You still have two children! If you die, your children will be even more pitiful." Zhou Huaiyi concluded.
Sister Lan also advised: "A Ling! You should talk to me. I will definitely help you communicate with the Zhuang family."
At this time, Zhuang Ganmei had already arrived outside the ward.
Zhuang Chaoying also received the notice and rushed over from school.
He only heard that something happened to Huang Ling and asked him to come to the hospital. He thought that Huang Ling was beaten by her brother.
So when he ran into Zhuang Ganmei at the door, he rushed over, grabbed his brother by the collar and yelled:
"Zhuang Ganmei! Are you a lesbian?"
Zhuang Ganmei was already very angry, and being pushed by her brother made her even angrier. She pushed Zhuang Chaoying away:
"You're also giving out divine gold, aren't you? Your whole family is sick!"
Zhuang Chaoying staggered after being pushed by him, and then rolled smoothly into the ward.
"Zhuang Ganmei! Stop it!" Zhou Huaiyi yelled. He walked over and helped Zhuang Chaoying up.
Zhuang Ganmei suddenly lost her energy and stood aside with her hands hanging down.
"You must be Teacher Zhuang! I am Zhou Huaiyi, the factory director of Zhuang Ganmei." Zhou Huaiyi stretched out his hand and shook hands with Zhuang Chaoying.
Zhuang Chaoying rushed to the bedside and asked: "A Ling, are you injured? How are you now?"
Huang Ling withdrew her hand and raised her chin.
Zhuang Chaoying was shocked when he saw a circle of red marks on her neck. This must be a fatal move!
"Zhuang Ganmei!" Zhuang Chaoying roared.
"It's not me! She wanted to hang herself and die! Who can I blame?" Zhuang Ganmei quickly distanced herself from the matter.
"I say, Comrade Zhuang Ganmei, you have quite a problem! Who would hang themselves for fun? It's because you guys have forced me into a corner!" Sister Lan stood up.
"Who forced her?" Zhuang Ganmei was going crazy.
"Everyone, don't worry. Now that both sides have arrived, including the cotton mill union leaders, you can talk openly about the problem."
Zhou Huaiyi is a soldier, an upright person, and is used to solving problems rather than arguing.
This is the characteristic of a soldier, and it is also the reason why Huang Ling chose to hang herself at the door of his office.
If the deputy factory director is a soldier, then she might choose him.
"Comrade Huang Ling, go ahead."
"Okay, Director. First, let's talk about Zhuang Chaoying handing over one-third of his salary every month." Huang Ling took the lead.
"Well, Zhuang Ganmei, do you also pay one-third of your salary to your parents every month?" Zhou Huaiyi asked.
Huang Ling was so excited!
This Factory Manager Zhou is on the right track!
It really hits the nail on the head!
Zhuang Ganmei was stunned for a moment and shook her head: "I, well, there are too many people in my family, so it's not enough."
"That's not right! Your family and your eldest brother's family have the same number of members." Zhou Huaiyi raised his eyebrows.
"Then I still have to take care of my parents!"
"As far as I know, your father has a pension."
“…”
"Comrade Huang Ling, it would be inappropriate not to pay a penny. Tell me your solution." Zhou Huaiyi asked three questions and would not talk any more.
He is in complete control now.
"The factory manager is right. Originally, Zhuang Ganmei took over my father's job, so he was the one responsible for his retirement. So, there's no way we could pay the extra 25 yuan per month!"
But it's true, as the factory director said, they are Zhuang Chaoying's parents, and Zhuang Chaoying can't ignore them. So, if they have a serious illness or disaster, the out-of-pocket expenses will be paid in half by Zhuang Chaoying and Zhuang Ganmei, with coupons. During other festivals, we will visit them and buy gifts for them according to our wishes and ability."
"I think this makes sense," Zhou Huaiyi nodded. "Zhuang Ganmei, what do you think?"
Zhuang Ganmei also sneered: "In the final analysis, you just don't want to give that 25 yuan! Is it necessary to risk your life?"
Huang Ling nodded. "Right. Twenty-five dollars is nothing to someone like you who has so many people supporting you, but it's life-threatening to me."
Zhuang Ganmei also knew that he was in the wrong, and since Director Zhou had spoken, what else could he say but nod.
"Okay, then Comrade Huang Ling, please continue." Zhou Huaiyi remembered that she had just mentioned the first one, so there was a second one.
Huang Ling looked at him gratefully and continued:
"From now on, don't send anyone to my house without my permission. No one will have any surplus food."
"Yes, everything is rationed now. There are suddenly more people in the house. It's okay to skip a meal or two, but it won't work for a long time. It won't work at anyone's house." Sister Lan agreed.
Zhou Huaiyi also nodded: "I am the only one at home. If my comrades stay for two more days, I will have to find a way."
"Yes, yes, yes. It gives me a headache when I see relatives coming." Director Guan, who had been silent all the time, also interrupted.
"Is there anything else?" Zhou Huaiyi asked again.
"Also, if their parents are sick and need care, the brothers should share the burden and not pass it on to others. That's all."
Everyone present also thought it was reasonable.
"If you have any family problems in the future, you must never behave excessively again. You can come to Director Guan and he will come forward to coordinate." Zhou Huaiyi summarized.
"Wait, let's sign an agreement! I don't trust their character, and I'd like Director Zhou to be a witness."
"good."
Huang Ling got up from the hospital bed and took out paper and pen from her cloth bag to write the agreement.
Taking advantage of this time, Zhou Huaiyi looked at Zhuang Chaoying, and he finally understood why Huang Ling behaved like this.
Because Zhuang Chaoying didn't say a word the whole time, he even looked guilty when his wife was bargaining with his brother.
She has no one to rely on and can only rely on herself.
Huang Ling quickly wrote the agreement and handed it to Zhou Huaiyi.
When Zhou Huaiyi saw her handwriting, he found that she had very good handwriting.
He carefully reviewed the contents and found no problem, so he handed it to Zhuang Ganmei: "Take a look, do you have any objections?"
Zhuang Ganmei took a look, shook her head, and signed her name.
A farce ended.
Everyone left.
Zhuang Ganmei went back to the factory to continue working. When he got home from get off work, he told his family about what Huang Ling had done.
"What do you mean by hanging?" Lin Fang was terrified when she heard this. "Ganmei, she's not going to hang herself in our factory tomorrow, is she?"
"Hey, I have signed the agreement with her. Why would she go to your factory if she doesn't want the twenty-five dollars?" Zhuang Ganmei gave Lin Fang a glare.
Zhuang's father slapped his thigh and said, "Oh! Huang Ling is really cruel! This is not just a matter of twenty-five yuan!"
