Tang's father thought that Tang Jiao taking some things back to her in-laws from home was a small matter and he would not care about it. The most important thing was that she was happy and stable. But if Chen Xiangnan was the kind of person who was restless, Tang's father could not sit idly by.
He was worried for several days, and people felt that he was worried when he was at work. Until one morning, he pushed open the door of the dean's office with a heavy heart.
Chen family.
"What? You want me to go to the hospital to work after the New Year?" Chen Xiangnan jumped up in surprise. "Why are you suddenly asking me to work in the hospital?"
Tang Jiao was beaming. She knew her father had gotten in through the backdoor, but to avoid hurting Xiangnan's pride, she lied. "Because you behaved so well in the hospital that day, the police and security team have a hard time handling this kind of flattery and forced payment. Patients are a vulnerable group, so doctors often compromise to avoid trouble, but this is not conducive to management. So your appearance just gave us hope."
Chen Xiangnan didn't understand. In this kind of situation, they could just find some old man or woman as fierce as his mother to sit in the hospital and pay some money to sit there for a whole day. If someone didn't want to pay and kept pestering the doctor, they could just throw a tantrum immediately and they would be completely obedient. If the hospital didn't have such a position, at most a few doctors could each pay a little money to keep themselves in peace.
When the time comes to investigate, the old man and woman are not from the hospital. They are just enthusiastic people who came to help in the hospital. Can they be held responsible?
How could they not think of such a simple thing?
Chen Xiangnan was puzzled and at the same time doubted the skills of the doctors in their hospital. They couldn't even think of this method. Could they all be stupid doctors?
In fact, no normal person would think of such a bizarre method, let alone a group of serious, honest and diligent doctors. How could they think in such a far-fetched way? Being suspected of being stupid made the doctors bear the blame, but fortunately they didn't know it.
Chen Xiangnan did not express his thoughts, but he felt that his chance had really come. He married Tang Jiao just to get the support of Tang's father and others. Now such a good opportunity was in front of him. If he refused, then Chen Xiangnan must have been possessed by another spirit.
So, he agreed immediately. The weather has been so cold recently, and he's been running back and forth between the countryside and the city every day, which is very tiring. If there is a decent place for him to work, that would be the best thing. Although his job of buying and selling can make money, it is also risky and tiring.
If... Chen Xiangnan thought back to the summer when his mother had given him her job, he might have become a small leader now, sitting in his office with a cup of tea and a newspaper, cross-legged, and making money in the warmth.
However, there is no if, and he dare not mention this matter now. His mother will really kill him and will never let him have an easy time. His mother's job is her lifeblood. Whoever touches her lifeblood will lose his life.
So scary!
Tang Jiao went back to her parents' home and told her parents the good news. Tang's father nodded and said that it would be better to find a proper job for his son-in-law and keep him under his supervision than to let him run around everywhere and not know who he was working with. At least he would know what he was doing every day.
After Tang Jiao left, Tang's father rubbed his temples and felt inexplicably uneasy.
Tang's mother opened her mouth several times but remained silent. She was afraid that if she spoke out, Old Tang would become even more uneasy. She had just gone to the supply and marketing cooperative today and heard someone say that their compound was unclean.
Every household in that compound wasn't normal. Was putting someone so abnormal in the hospital really a good thing? As the hospital director's wife, Tang's mother had some basic knowledge, like that mental illness wasn't contagious. But the entire compound wasn't normal. She even suspected the book was fake, and inexplicably began to worry that Tang Jiao might have suddenly gone insane too.
Tang's mother's eyelids also began to twitch.
But now that things have come to this, the words have been spoken and the favors have been done, it would be bad to kick the person out.
Old Tang, you are still too impatient and don’t think deeply enough.
The days passed quickly.
Today is the day when all factories and units are closed. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. The festive atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger in the streets and alleys. When the bell rings, everyone walks out of the gate happily, carrying New Year's goods, chatting and laughing with each other. No one would be so blind as to say something unlucky or do something unlucky at this time.
Except Chen Xiangbei.
Old Chen was the first to arrive home. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary when he got there; the door was securely closed and no one was inside. He had just put down his New Year's goods when he heard a noise in his bedroom.
Old Chen was startled, picked up the big hatchet by the door, and walked over with light steps.
He listened quietly to the noise inside, as if someone was rummaging through the drawers. Could it be a thief? At this time of year, when every household is celebrating the New Year, thieves are becoming more rampant, and it is very likely that someone is breaking into the house and robbing.
Old Chen clenched the knife in his hand, hesitant. He was just an old man. What if the other person, who was tall and strong, snatched his knife and cut him into pieces? He would be dead.
He hadn't lived enough, so he was a little afraid to open the door.
He heard footsteps and immediately recognized it as Old Lady Xia's voice. He immediately ran to the gate to wait for her. Two people have a better chance of winning than one, not to mention that his old woman can fight two.
Old Mrs. Xia soon saw the sneaky Old Chen. When he discovered her, he immediately made a hissing sound and waited until she came over before saying there was a thief in the house.
Old Lady Xia's eyes flashed with ferocity. Anyone who was so foolish as to dare to steal from her must be killed... uh... brought to justice.
She looked down on Old Chen's cowardly appearance, snatched the hatchet, walked quietly to the bedroom door, and heard the noise. Is this little thief not skilled at his job? He hasn't finished stealing after searching for so long?
Unable to bear it any longer, Old Lady Xia kicked open the bedroom door with all her might and shouted, "Who is this thief who stole from your grandmother?"
The wardrobe in the bedroom was in a mess, and the bed and the floor were full of clothes that had just been dried in the sun, some of hers and some of Old Chen's. In front of the wardrobe, Chen Xiangbei was wearing a brand new Lei Feng hat that Old Chen was reluctant to wear, and Old Chen's new sweater. He was also wearing a new cotton-padded jacket that was only half worn and was also made this year.
Seeing the two of them rushing in, Chen Xiangbei was frightened. When he came to his senses, he had already climbed onto the window, ready to escape.
"Ah—" Old Chen screamed, "You little bastard, you stole my clothes?"
