Recently, whenever Chen Xiangnan ran out, there was always a small tail following him, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard he tried. He tried to get rid of Chen Xiangbei by riding a bicycle, but Chen Xiangbei jumped on the back seat and hugged his waist tightly.
Chen Xiangnan no longer went out to buy or sell things, so Chen Xiangbei stayed at home and watched over him. This had been going on for several days, every day.
He finally couldn't stand it anymore, "What do you want to do? I really don't know the person you are talking about."
Chen Xiangbei: "Then please help me find out."
Chen Xiangnan: "If you also want to make some money in the black market, just follow me. How can I not teach you? Why do you have to go to that group of people? If you have the perseverance to stick with me, you can succeed in whatever you do."
Chen Xiangbei chuckled, "I'm just very smart and can succeed in anything I do. But I've already promised someone about this matter, so please help me find out."
Chen Xiangnan could only use a delaying tactic and agree first. He might forget about it in a few days. "I'll go and find out for you, but you are not allowed to follow me."
But Chen Xiangbei was in a hurry to get the job done, so he wouldn't let Chen Xiangnan drag him along. "You must tell me when there will be a result, otherwise I will continue to follow you."
Chen Xiangnan's head really hurt. No matter how he talked to such a person, nothing would make sense. He really couldn't understand why Chen Xiangbei was so obsessed with finding out about other people's affairs.
It wasn't until Old Chen came home and suddenly started talking about the gossip in their factory. When he talked about the contradictions, he actually wrote it down and said he would inquire about it tomorrow. Only then did Chen Xiangnan understand that the third brother was influenced by his father.
His head hurt even more.
But there was nothing he could do. His brother was so persistent that he had to help him get information even if he didn't know him. When he asked who he was asking for information, the boy was so tight-lipped that he didn't seem like himself anymore. This surprised him. He really had grown up.
"Three days. I'll tell you in three days, okay?"
Chen Xiangbei yelled, "Tell me tomorrow."
Chen Xiangnan felt that as the second child in the family, he should have the easiest life. He did not have to bear the responsibilities of the eldest son and support his parents like the eldest son, nor did he have to raise his younger siblings. He only needed to take care of himself and his family.
But now, his eldest brother was separated from the family, his mother left, and his father stayed at the factory every day. Suddenly, all the troubles at home were closely related to him. For example, today Chen Xiangbei insisted on asking him for help to find out some information. If he refused, Chen Xiangbei would throw a tantrum and go to Tang Jiao to persuade him if he still refused.
He had never thought that Chen Xiangbei was such an annoying brother before. Not only did he not know how to read people's expressions, he also couldn't speak. When he asked him to do something, he didn't even say a nice word and just told him to do it.
Chen Xiangnan was torn between whether to care about him or not. Chen Xiangbei was still pinching the corner of his clothes, which was wrinkled. Looking at his expectant eyes, Chen Xiangnan agreed, "Only this time, no matter what you say in the future, I will not help you again."
Chen Xiangbei chuckled, "Second brother, I knew you were the best in our family."
It was rare to hear good words from Chen Xiangbei. Even though Chen Xiangnan knew it was just a sugar-coated bullet, he was still a little happy. "Anyway, remember, it's only once."
Chen Xiangbei couldn't remember it. Anyway, there would be a second time after the first time, and countless times after the second time. When the time comes, he would cry, make a fuss, and even threaten to hang himself. Even if his second brother didn't help, his second sister-in-law would definitely help. He knew it very well.
"Brother, this is for my niece." He handed over the candy, his eyes full of flattery.
Chen Xiangnan sighed. He should have known not to teach him such a mess. Now, the boomerang hit him.
Old Mrs. Xia thought that her bickering with Fang Yingdi was a harmless matter, but a few days later, word spread in the factory that she, Old Mrs. Xia, was taking advantage of her age to behave recklessly in the dormitory. She not only bullied young female workers, but also refused to listen to reason.
When Old Mrs. Xia was called to the factory director's office, she was confused when she heard this.
"I didn't, why would I bully them?"
Director Yuan was holding a notebook, writing something down. After hearing this answer, she asked, "Then why do I hear that you're fighting with this person today and arguing with that person tomorrow? If you didn't do these things, how could these rumors come out?"
Old Mrs. Xia really wanted to curse immediately. You, as the director, said that this was a rumor yourself, and you called her over to ask why? She didn't do anything. Since she heard it from someone else, why did she go to that person to ask? It's impossible for her to spread her own rumor.
"Director Yuan, who has the guts to spread rumors like this? Call him here to confront me. I want to see who wants to bully an old lady like me." Old Lady Xia was furious. Anyone who is lying to others for no reason would be angry.
Director Yuan: "Don't worry about who it is. Someone has reported it to me anyway."
Old Lady Xia raised her hand. "Then I will also report the person who reported me. He spread rumors. Do you want to take care of this matter? If you don't, I will go sit outside the factory director's office."
Director Yuan: ...
At this moment, Director Yuan was stunned. In the past, when she called someone in for a talk, she would only apologize or scold them, never turning the tables. Now, this old Comrade Xia was threatening her.
"Comrade Xia, don't act recklessly just because you are an old worker in the factory. I am asking you a question now." Director Yuan frowned, very dissatisfied with Old Lady Xia's changing the subject.
Old Lady Xia wasn't afraid either. "Director Yuan, I've answered your question. I've never done anything like this. Don't just believe everything others say. You don't listen to a word I say. Do you have chicken feathers stuck in your ears?"
Director Yuan's face turned pale and blue. Comrade Xia's attitude was simply a challenge to her authority as a leader. "Comrade Xia, I'm not kidding you. This isn't your old compound, where you can insult me at will."
Old Lady Xia: "I didn't insult you. Didn't I answer? I didn't do it! Did you hear that clearly?"
Director Yuan slammed the table. "You didn't do anything, so why are people blaming you? Don't you want to reflect on yourself?"
Old Lady Xia: "Hey, I'm just confused. People are blaming me behind my back, but I'm the victim. How come you're making it seem like it's my fault? The police have to rely on evidence when they make judgments. What evidence do you have to prove that I bullied them? I've already said that those who spread rumors should be arrested one by one. Who is so cruel that they didn't even let me go? But you refuse to do so. Anyway, you're convinced in your heart that I bullied others, so why are you asking me such a bully? If you have the guts, just give me a punishment."
Director Yuan: "You think I don't dare. Believe it or not, I will not only punish you, but I will also criticize you by name at the workers' meeting."
Old Lady Xia: "Director Yuan, you are so capable. You should become the factory director. I will propose this to the factory director at the next workers' meeting."
Director Yuan: "You are threatening me."
Old Lady Xia: "Aren't you threatening me too? Are you trying to force a confession out of me?"
