Chapter 95: Shouldn’t I be given a gold bracelet?
Wei Qiang wanted to speak when he saw Lu Qiaoge, but when he heard what Mrs. Liu said, he stopped and said politely to Lu Qiaoge: "If you can meet that old man someday, please tell him my address. Thank you!"
Lu Qiaoge smiled and said, "Okay!"
Sister Qiao secretly glared at Mrs. Liu, then pulled Lu Qiaoge and followed her into the big office.
The two directors were too late to clear the area, so they just watched the fun.
Old Hu looked down upon the ungrateful Old Wei.
Old Wei is a few years older than him and has just retired. Old Wei benefited from the transformation of Xiaohe Village into a military factory. After passing the examination, he entered the military factory with Liu Pozi.
I didn’t think much of it before, but now it seems that if it weren’t for my younger brother’s risking his life to save them, Old Wei’s family might not be where they are today.
And even if he didn't save his life, he is his only nephew. He should treat Wei Qiang well for the sake of the two big gold bracelets.
Director Hu looked at Lao Wei and asked, "What problem can't be solved that requires you to come to the street office?"
Old Wei has also taken the risk. His reputation has been ruined anyway, so he really wants to make some profit now.
He said with a gloomy face: "Wei Qiang wants to sever ties with me, but how can he do so? I hope the leaders can give me some justice. I am not a human being anymore. I didn't let him freeze or starve. I even sent him to be an apprentice and a worker, and I even married him off to start a family. Don't I have any merits or hard work?"
Lao Hu is too lazy to educate Lao Wei. He is just shamelessly playing tricks on him. There will be no end to the argument if you argue with him.
He asked Wei Qiang: "What do you mean?"
After tossing and turning all night, Wei Qiang felt that his life seemed to have reached a turning point.
It's like letting go of a burden and no longer worrying about why his parents are partial to him or what he did wrong.
Although I looked tired, I felt much more relaxed.
He explained calmly, "I'm not going to sever ties with my parents. I've called them mom and dad for so many years. We're related no matter how close we are. What's more, he's my uncle. What's past is past. I won't mention it again. I'll continue to live my life as usual. I'll continue to be filial to them in the future. However, my dad still wants me to give Zhang Quan's job to Xiao Lei, my eldest nephew. I don't agree to this. Zhang Quan has lost her ability to work. If she doesn't even have a job, how will she live? Not to mention her salary, even her medical expenses won't be reimbursed. But my parents said that as long as I agree to give up my job, we'll sever our father-son relationship and I won't have to support her in the future. We can just make it a one-time deal."
At this point, Wei Qiang paused for a moment and continued, "I don't want to end the relationship. They are my only relatives, but I would like to ask the street office to help me ask my parents for help. Can you give me back one of the gold bracelets?"
Granny Liu said sharply, "I have raised you for free these years. When there was no food, I had already pawned it to exchange for food coupons. Also, I am not your mother. Don't call me mom. I don't like it!"
Wei Qiang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, auntie, I want to ask for a gold bracelet as a wish of my biological mother, please grant it to me."
Huang Juan just felt that these people in the Wei family were going too far. This was Zhang Quan's job, and Zhang Quan was assigned to the job after graduating from a technical school.
Huang Juan suppressed her anger and asked calmly, "You guys are talking a lot, but have you asked Zhang Quan for his opinion?"
Wei Qiang hurriedly said: "I talked to her last night, but she disagreed!"
Huang Juan softened her expression and said to Old Wei and Mrs. Liu, "Since Zhang Quan disagrees, why are you still coming to the street office?"
Old Wei looked at Wei Qiang in disbelief.
This is obviously not what we say at home.
This was his original plan.
Wei Qiang remained silent and timid yesterday, but he saw the hatred in the wolf cub's eyes.
He felt very disappointed at that time.
If this falls into his hands when I'm old, I'll have no hope of survival.
So he discussed with his eldest son and decided to sever the relationship in exchange for work. When he and his eldest son told Wei Qiang this, he was excited at first, but then he disagreed. However, he also said that even if he wanted a job, he had to get a witness from the street office.
When I asked him what he meant, he just lowered his head and said nothing, just like when I scolded him in the past.
At that time, everyone thought he had acquiesced, just like before.
Who would have thought that this wolf cub is completely two different people at home and in the street office.
No, it can be said that the current Wei Qiang is so strange and scary.
This was also true for Mrs. Liu, who felt that she could no longer control Wei Qiang.
Old Wei felt that something bad was going to happen, so he forced a smile and said to Wei Qiang: "I am your father now, don't listen to your mother's nonsense, she is just angry, how can you take it seriously?"
Lu Qiaoge felt that Old Wei's family was very difficult to deal with.
But at the same time, I feel that Wei Qiang is not as simple as he looks.
Wei Qiang suppressed his anger and disgust towards his so-called uncle in his heart. He scolded him harshly at home, but here he acted righteously.
He said bluntly: "I can't make the decision on Zhang Quan's work, so don't worry about it. Now let's talk about the things my parents left me. I didn't ask for too much. I just want a gold bracelet as a souvenir. By the way, I saw my mother fiddling with a gold bracelet a few days ago, saying that she was going to give it to her future granddaughter-in-law. I know you have two, one for my eldest sister-in-law, and the other should be given to my wife according to reason, but you are biased and refuse to give it to me. I dare not argue with you, so I can only comfort myself by saying that my parents rely on my eldest brother for their old age, and I, a young man, can't rely on him, so they look down on mine.
I started as an apprentice at the age of twelve, earning 15 yuan a month, and I gave every penny to my family. When I became a regular employee at the age of eighteen, I paid the full amount for another four years. After I got married, I had to pay half of my salary every month for your retirement support. This payment has to be for another five years.
I am only strong and have not received much education, so I don't quite understand the calculation, but I know one thing, I earn more than my elder brother and give more. I have made contributions to this family over the years, but I have worked hard. For this, shouldn't I be given a gold bracelet?"
There was a sudden silence in the large office.
These words were well-reasoned and made everyone's attention fall on the Wei family.
If we don't agree to this, it would be too much.
And this calculation is really shocking.
Wei Qiang handed over several thousand yuan.
This money is more than enough to support the whole family.
Old Wei and Mrs. Liu are such bad guys. Do they think they are capitalists who exploit the working people?
But can Mrs. Liu bear with it?
I will definitely not bear to do that!
Old Wei really didn't expect Wei Qiang to have this skill, considering his salary over the years.
He was about to speak angrily, but Old Hu had no time to listen to his nonsense.
"You all live in the same compound. How you and your wife treat Wei Qiang, and how Wei Qiang is filial to you, you don't need to say this, and Wei Qiang doesn't need to say it. Everyone sees it. Comrade Wei, you have a guilty conscience!"
