Chapter 76
Honestly, Deng Hong didn't want to pay, but she knew with a grain of salt that her parents wouldn't give Ah Shan the money. Even if she did, she worried about whether her sister could pay it back. She'd better let Ah Shan get back to work. She only made 30 yuan a month, and she could pay her 20 yuan a month for three years.
Deng Hong thought about Deng Shan's test score and felt like she'd been taken advantage of. It really pissed her off! She didn't even get 70. What a loser! If she'd scored higher, she could have helped her! With such a poor score, she was worried that the director of the Education Bureau she'd contacted earlier wouldn't like Shan!
Deng Hong had no other choice but to discuss the salary for the job with Nie Xiangnan, gave him 100 yuan as a deposit, and agreed to go and handle the formalities tomorrow. Finally, she felt relieved.
Putting the hundred yuan in her pocket, Nie Xiangnan planned to go to the bank to open a passbook after she received the remaining six hundred yuan balance and save the seven hundred and fifty yuan. This would be the foundation of her future life.
The He family was treating her well now, but she had to leave a way out for herself. Nie Xiangnan glanced in the direction of the Second Hospital, and since she didn't meet anyone else, she went straight back to her husband's house.
Ever since she moved out of her home, she felt like she had no mother's home. What's more, now there is only that woman Liu Qingqing at home. If she goes back, she will definitely say something and dislike her for not bringing anything with her.
Haha, I’m not cheap!
.
At the end of June, before the Nie couple came out, Nie Xiangxi and Lou Cuicui held a wedding banquet, which was paid for by the Lou family. Only then did everyone know that Nie Xiangxi had left the Nie family in a semi-marriage-in-law manner.
Aunt Zhang privately lamented to Aunt Liu and Aunt Wang, saying, "A dog that bites doesn't bark." Nie Xiangxi usually seemed so cheerful and polite, but she had never expected him to sever ties with the Nie family the moment something happened, and then continue to come to the compound as if nothing had happened.
Yes, Nie Xiangxi and his wife usually eat at the Lou family's house, and at night Nie Xiangxi will bring Lou Cuicui to the compound to sleep.
There are three rooms and three locks. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the three brothers of the Nie family have divided the family internally.
As soon as July began, the temperature continued to rise and a feeling of stuffiness lingered in everyone's chest.
At this time, Nie Xuesong's punishment was finally announced. He was sent to the Northwest. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Northwest Farm would be his final resting place. He would contribute to the future development of the West. Seeing the severity of the punishment, everyone in the compound understood that this was a serious offense. Unaware of Nie Xuesong's specific offense, while no one spoke publicly, they were all secretly wary of the Nie family.
A week after Nie Xuesong's case was resolved, Bai Xingzi was released. No one knew what Bai Xingzi had been through in prison, but everyone in the compound felt her personality was becoming increasingly erratic. Except when she was with Nie Xiangbei, she would glare gloomily at the other members of her family, frightening Lou Cuicui to the point of not returning to the compound at night. Bai Xingzi would sometimes frighten the children in the compound, angering Aunt Zhang and Aunt Lei enough to visit her home and scold her.
"Tsk!" Xue Zhengchu held a palm-leaf fan in one hand and picked his teeth with something he had picked up from somewhere in the other. Du Ling, who was sitting next to him, asked Zhang Jianyuan, "Brother Jianyuan, I heard your factory has been a bit restless lately. What's going on?"
Zhang Jianyuan nodded first, then shook his head. "Well, it's all just some bullshit. I don't know what those young girls are thinking. Instead of working properly, they go after Director Gu's son to talk to him right after work. It's like they've drunk some kind of magic potion. And then, I don't know what happened, but some of them even started fighting!"
Xue Zhengchu threw his tooth pick on the ground, drank a sip of the dried water, and uttered a "Ha". "Director Gu... that's no wonder."
The title of the factory director's daughter-in-law was quite attractive to those young girls. No matter how big the machinery factory was and how profitable it was, the workers there walked down the street with their backs straighter than those in other factories!
Du Ling: "That young man was here at the last Fifth Factory get-together, wasn't he? I heard from my coworkers that his name was Pengfei. He seemed quite good-looking and good at his job."
Zhang Jianyuan: "His name is Gu Pengfei, he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he works at our factory's radio station now."
“Ahh—”
Before Du Ling and Xue Zhengchu could say anything, a sharp scream came from behind.
Xue Zhengchu stood up suddenly and ran to the back. He was the elder, and he had to maintain order and safety in the compound. Du Ling followed him. Why did the voice sound like Bai Xingzi's eldest daughter-in-law? Could Bai Xingzi have had a fight with his daughter-in-law? Then she had to go and see...
When Liu Qingqing called out, Bi Weiguo, Bi Xiahe and Bi Qiuguo were reviewing because they had their final exams tomorrow, while Bi Chunliu was sitting with her legs crossed and eating an apple.
The apples were sent by Han Kemei two days ago. She said that her brother Xing Fei was very busy recently and had no time to meet Bi Chunliu. Han Kemei was worried that her brother would be dumped. It happened that a friend of hers sent her some apples, so Han Kemei came to help her brother maintain the relationship.
Bi Chunliu took the apple and watched Han Kemei's back as she cycled home. She thought to herself that Xing Fei should thank her. If she hadn't wanted to help Nie Xiangnan, they wouldn't have found any evidence against the Zhu family. Her career hadn't taken off, but Xing Fei's had!
Bi Chunliu was startled by the scream and almost dropped the apple.
Bi Qiuguo threw down his pen, rushed to the door and peeked in.
Bi Chunliu finished the rest of the apple, rinsed his hands with water, and leaned over to the window. What was Bai Xingzi doing? Why was Liu Qingqing screaming like that?
Seeing Xue Zhengchu and his wife, Zhang Jianyuan, Aunt Liu and Aunt Zhang all arrived, Bi Chunliu also came out of the house.
The Nie family was in chaos at this time, and she could faintly smell a hint of blood. Bi Chunliu didn't dare to go forward, so she stood on tiptoe to look inside, but she could only see Nie Xiangbei standing against the wall, and nothing else.
"Qingqing, Qingqing, how are you?" Nie Xiangdong hugged his wife and his voice sounded like tears.
"Ah, Xiangdong, what are you calling your wife for? Hurry up and send her to the hospital!" Aunt Liu shouted anxiously. There is so much blood, it must be a miscarriage! What a useless man!
"Okay, okay, send her to the hospital!" Nie Xiangdong was a little panicked, and only agreed quickly after hearing the word "send her to the hospital". "Uncle Xue, can you help me get two people to take my wife to the hospital?"
Xue Zhengchu stepped forward to take a look, then immediately began to dismantle the Nie family's door panels. "Okay, there are so many of us, let's all go and deliver it!"
Bai Xingzi screamed to stop Xue Zhengchu and scolded him, "Don't tear down my door!"
Xue Zhengchu and Chen Dali, who was helping to remove the door panels, asked, "Huh?"
"Mom!!!" Nie Xiangdong yelled, "You're still causing trouble here! If you hadn't pushed Qingqing, would she be like this?!"
"Alright—now you've grown wings! You're truly the kind of person who forgets his mother after marrying a wife. You don't know your age, how dare you talk to your own mother like that?!"
Nie Xiangdong ignored Bai Xingzi, helped to remove the door panel, and carried Liu Qingqing up. Nie Xiangdong called Nie Xiangbei, and with the help of Chen Dali and Xue Zhengchu, the four of them carried Liu Qingqing to the hospital.
The four people left, but the others didn't leave. Du Ling glanced at Bai Xingzi, who was staring at the pool of blood on the ground, and shuddered in her heart. Bai Xingzi was becoming more and more abnormal, too weird...
Bi Chunliu stood outside, watching the pale, moaning Liu Qingqing being carried out. A familiar scene piqued Bi Chunliu's attention. It was as if she were seeing something from her past life. They said Weiguo had hit Liu Qingqing and Lou Cuicui with his bike, and she'd run out of the house to see them carried away in the same way. She even remembered Lou Cuicui's hair, sticky and clung to her forehead from sweat...
"Chunliu, Chunliu?" Aunt Liu waved at Bi Chunliu, then grabbed her cold hand and asked with concern, "Girl, are you scared?"
Bi Chunliu came back to her senses and smiled subconsciously, "Aunt Liu, I'm fine."
Aunt Liu: "Don't be afraid. Go home and drink some brown sugar water to calm your nerves."
"Okay, Aunt Liu, are you okay?" Bi Chunliu saw that Aunt Liu's face didn't look good.
Aunt Liu patted Bi Chunliu's hand and said, "It's okay. Seeing a woman having a miscarriage reminds me of my past. Go home quickly. Your mother died a long time ago and never told you about this. You haven't married or had children yet, so don't see such things in the future."
Bi Chunliu nodded, "Okay..."
Although brown sugar water didn't seem to have a calming effect, she still poured four bowls of brown sugar water when she got home. The four members of the family drank it before lying down to sleep.
After a restless night, Bi Chunliu woke up the next morning feeling as if her head had split in two, her entire body dazed. Thinking of her three younger siblings about to take exams, especially Weiguo's last one for junior high, Bi Chunliu prepared a good-looking breakfast for them.
Since there was no condition to fry dough sticks, Bi Chunliu made a pancake, put some vegetables in it, rolled it into a roll, and boiled eight eggs, two for each person. Although she was not taking the exam, she felt that she should take part in such a delicious opportunity.
"Wow--" After washing his face, Bi Qiuguo stood on the table and studied the things on the plate before wiping it, and then made a surprised sound.
Bi Xiahe brought a towel to her sister and asked Bi Chunliu, "Sister, what is this?"
Bi Chunliu explained to them one by one, "This is one, these two are zeros, and together they make one hundred. I hope you can all get a perfect score today!"
Bi Xiahe curled her lips and replied, "Okay! I'll try my best!"
"Okay! After eating this, I will definitely get a perfect score!" Bi Qiuguo raised his hands high to cheer himself up.
Bi Weiguo was embarrassed and said hesitantly: "Sister, why don't you give me the full 70?" He felt that it would be more reliable to score 70 on his own.
Bi Chunliu: "...This is hope. I didn't ask you to really make a perfect score your goal."
Bi Weiguo scratched his head, chuckled, and felt relieved. That was good. He was worried that his elder sister would have too high expectations for his final exam...
I didn’t sleep well yesterday. I was thinking about my younger brother and sister’s exams, especially Weiguo, who would go to study with Master Cai after the exam. I was worried that Weiguo would have another accident. Bi Chunliu felt that the day was passing extremely slowly!
After work, Bi Chunliu said goodbye to a few people and ran home.
Before entering the compound, I saw a lot of people gathered at the gate.
Bi Chunliu felt a pang in his heart. What happened?
