Chapter 81
Bi Chunliu, who was eavesdropping, understood what Nie Xiangnan meant. She wanted to send her own mother to the Northwest as well.
Aunt Shen was a little confused at this moment. No, was there something wrong with these two? How could she have such great ability to get rid of them?
"Then what should I say?"
Nie Xiangnan closed his eyes, suppressing his emotions, then opened them and said, "You know this business, shouldn't you have more to say than me? If she wants me to go, then you can say that I am unlucky for my father. I remember she said that on the first day my third brother and I were born, Nie Xuesong got scalded when drinking water. The next day, when he returned home from the hospital, Nie Xuesong turned his head and banged his head on the door, and a big bump swelled up on his head. Ask her to think about the bad things that Nie Xuesong had encountered. If she has any doubts, you can say that if there is someone who is unlucky there, Nie Xuesong might be unlucky there. When you remind her then, she will definitely blame me. What did you say before when you talked about my sister-in-law? You are still saying it now."
As she spoke, she wanted to laugh. These were all the things Bai Xingzi had said when she scolded her before, saying that she had been obstructing her father since she was born.
Aunt Shen rolled her eyes inwardly. Sigh, she was truly unfortunate, having met such a mother and daughter. "What if your mother asked me to perform a ritual to send her to the northwest? I don't have that ability."
"Let her figure it out herself." Nie Xiangnan will help her.
Aunt Shen: "That's good."
Bi Chunliu: It seems Bai Xingzi is going to withdraw from their compound's stage...
.
July is a happy month for children who are on vacation, but it is a frustrating month for adults who still have to go to work.
In the union office, Zhao Mei impatiently tugged at her clothes, which were clinging to her body. "Hongxia, when can we get our fans approved?"
Wang Hongxia wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, then picked up a fan. "It's almost time. The workshop is even hotter than our office. If they need anything, we have to come first. I heard from Chairman Ren that there seems to be something big happening in the city recently. I guess we won't be able to come until next month."
Zhao Mei felt her mind was in a trance after hearing the news, "...We won't wait until it's no longer hot before it's our turn, right?"
Bi Chunliu felt that the weather was much better now compared to the later days when the temperature often reached 40 degrees.
Wang Xiaojun drank a sip of boiled water and said, "Sister Zhao, why are you so hot today? My dad always says that if you calm down, you'll feel cooler. Maybe you'll feel better if you don't get impatient. It's hot out, and if you get impatient, it'll get even hotter!"
Zhao Mei sighed, "Your father is right, but I can't just say I'm not anxious!"
Wang Hongxia poured a glass of water for each of the four people and said, "If you can tell, please tell us. There's no point in worrying about it yourself."
Zhao Mei drank the boiled water in one gulp. "It's all because of my troublesome sister-in-law! She looks like she's been kicked in the head by a donkey! Do you still remember Li Zhu from the thermos factory?"
Bi Chunliu recalled carefully, "Is it the one who reported the false information?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhao Mei continued to talk about her sister-in-law's troubles. "I don't know how my sister-in-law met that Li Zhu. That guy is more than ten years older than my sister-in-law, and he tricked my sister-in-law into marrying him. My sister-in-law has been making a fuss at home these past few days. My mother-in-law asked for leave and locked her up at home. My sister-in-law howled every day and even went on a hunger strike. Now my mother-in-law cries every day. It happens that the children are on summer vacation. The older ones are okay and can go out and play by themselves, but the younger ones are also whimpering and crying because of my mother-in-law. Oh, you don't know, I haven't slept well in three or four days. The look in my eyes could be a giant panda!"
Wang Xiaojun was puzzled. "What's her intention? Doesn't Li Zhu already have two daughters? And his mother wasn't well either. His wife died in childbirth. Given this situation, how could she be willing to marry Li Zhu?"
Zhao Mei also showed an expression of incomprehension. "Or I would say she was kicked in the head by a donkey. She said Li Zhu was one of those unfortunate men who loved his wife deeply, but his wife wanted to give birth to a son to continue her bloodline, so she was not afraid of death. In the end, this unfortunate man had to endure the pain of losing his wife. She also said that if a relationship doesn't go through life and death, it's not love!"
Bi Chunliu: "...?" Is this a blood clot from years past stuck in his brain? He thinks he has a mission to redeem himself? Why is he imagining things like this? Is the great me saving the broken him?
"You don't know how I felt when I heard her say that. It was like someone pointing at shit and saying it's delicious..." Zhao Mei was in so much pain. With such a sister-in-law in front of her, she was afraid that the children at home would follow her example. It's okay if they are a little stupid, but I'm afraid of them being stupid! Who can stand this!
Wang Hongxia: "Then this depends on your parents-in-law, right? What do they say?"
Zhao Mei was silent for a moment, as if she had swallowed a pound of bitter melon. "My mother-in-law cries every day, and my father-in-law doesn't agree. He also said that if anyone dares to let my sister-in-law out, he will break her legs or smoke." She sighed, "Before, I thought she liked Gu Pengfei from the machinery factory, and I was worried that she would keep chasing him. Now, it's better to chase Gu Pengfei. At least he is really good-looking and has a good family."
Bi Chunliu, Wang Xiaojun, and Wang Hongxia: “…………”
The three of them were at a loss as to what to do about this situation, and could only sigh: Every family has its own problems!
In the following days, Zhao Mei took a leave of absence, and Bi Chunliu and the other two did not hear anyone in the factory talking about Zhao Mei. It seemed that the follow-up of this sister-in-law was still fermenting within Zhao Mei's in-laws' family and had not been spread out.
At the end of July, Nanshan City experienced two days of torrential rain, the water pounding against the ground, creating bubbles. As the downpour continued, news broke of the arrests of Nanshan Vice Mayor Zhu Shanqing, Zhu Shanwang, a member of the Revolutionary Committee, and his son, Zhu Youyu, the director of the thermos factory.
This kind of news undoubtedly spreads the fastest. It seemed like everyone in Nanshan City knew about it within a day. Mentioning these three people made them itch with hatred, wishing they could bite them both to vent their anger! How much money would it cost to transport the Great Unity with a car? Who knows, among the money they took was their own hard-earned money!
After Bi Chunliu got off work, everyone in the compound was talking about this matter. Of course, everyone's main concern was how much money it would cost.
Aunt Wang: "I heard that when the police were collecting the money, someone passing by saw it. Oh, there was money in a sack. Oh, my! The person was so scared that his legs were so weak that he couldn't walk!"
"Needless to say, this must be tens of thousands of dollars!" Aunt Zhang was indignant. "This person has already become such a high-ranking official, and he still does this. He really betrays the trust the organization has in him!"
Aunt Liu was also very indignant. "I wonder if they will be executed. Those who plundered us ordinary people must die!"
"Hey, Old Qi, your Qi Chao works at the thermos factory. Any news on him?" Aunt Zhang asked. Qi Chao was the only one working at the thermos factory among the nearby compounds, so if they wanted to know about the factory, they had to ask someone inside. They were also curious if the factory director's family was also in the same boat.
Grandpa Qi raised his head and shook his head, "What could Qi Chao know? He usually doesn't care about these things." Ever since Qi Chao and Deng Hong only had one child, Qi Yalan, in these years, Grandpa Qi has become more and more dissatisfied with Qi Chao. This son is so unfilial!
Bi Chunliu was listening silently when Aunt Qiu came in. "Oh, you don't know yet, do you? Zhu Youyu from the thermos factory, his wife reported him. A lot of the evidence was handed over to the police by his wife."
"Wow!" Aunt Wang was surprised.
Aunt Liu: "Old Wang, you don't have to be like this. That Zhu Youyu is not a good person. Old Qiu, is Zhu Youyu having an affair with his sister-in-law? I remember hearing that Zhu Youyu is a bit like his father. His father likes 20-year-old girls, but Zhu Youyu likes 25-year-old wives."
"Ugh! How disgusting!" Aunt Wang retched. "It's good they got caught, so they don't have to abuse me!"
Uncle Qi muttered, "What kind of woman is this? She even dared to report her own husband. A grown man, already so capable, still has to let someone stay with a yellow-faced woman? She's really not a good wife!"
Aunt Zhang: "Lao Qi, what are you mumbling about?"
Uncle Qi quickly shook his head. "I didn't say anything. I said I should go home and cook. I'm on the night shift tonight."
"Really?" Aunt Zhang looked at him suspiciously, feeling that the old man was cursing.
Seeing that what the old men and women were saying was something he knew, Bi Chunliu went home.
She has been very busy recently and has to go to Master Wang's house tomorrow. Master Wang told her at the time that he would ask her to go to his house at the end of the month to see if he was satisfied. If not, she could make some changes. If she was satisfied, Master Wang would ask Xiaole's father to deliver the goods to her. The Wang family has an old tricycle.
It just so happened that tomorrow was Sunday, so she would go to Wang's house in the morning to buy some things. If everything went well, she would deliver the chest of drawers to Xing Fei's house before noon. The sun was too strong in the afternoon, so she didn't want to move much, so it was a good opportunity to prepare some cooking supplies for Weiguo.
Bi Chunliu hung his backpack on the rack and went to the sink to wash his face.
"Mom! What are you going to do again? Director Yao has already said--" Nie Xiangdong pulled Bai Xingzi who was about to go out, and when he saw Bi Chunliu washing her face, he swallowed his unfinished words. An adult was missing in his family, and he didn't want to see anyone from the compound now.
Bai Xingzi pulled her arm out of Nie Xiangdong's hand and said, "Why do you care about me? I have something to do!" Then she left in a hurry.
Bi Chunliu returned to the house with a wet face. She must have heard correctly. It seemed that Aunt Shen had already suggested to Bai Xingzi that she go to accompany Nie Xuesong, so Bai Xingzi's idea was to go to the street office. It seemed that Director Yao was in a difficult situation!
"Sister, I found all of our father and mother's old clothes. These are usable, and those are too torn to wear." Bi Xiahe said as she handed the towel to Bi Chunliu.
Bi Chunliu: "You can't wear all these?"
Bi Qiuguo held up a piece of her mother's clothing and said with a pout, "Third Uncle took away a lot of our dad's good clothes, otherwise there wouldn't be only these left!"
There's no such thing as good clothes these days. Some people even borrow well-cared-for student uniforms to wear on blind dates. Good clothes will be more plentiful in the future.
Bi Chunliu picked up some of the clothes and said, "Dad doesn't have many good ones. He usually just wears work clothes. When I make a lot of money, I'll buy him some nice clothes. Weiguo, try this one. It should be something our mom hid. Dad seems to have only worn it two or three times."
Bi Weiguo: "My master said to just prepare an apron."
Bi Chunliu: "It's okay, wear it. Dad will be happy to see you wearing it well!"
"Well then..."
