Fang's parents waited for two weeks straight, and the chores piled up unattended. Fang's mother wanted to do them herself, but the thought of Fang Yingdi coming home to help made her reluctant to do them. All the responsibility fell on Fang Yingdi's youngest sister, nearly exhausting her.
Today, the two of them finally couldn't help themselves and planned to give her a few words when they went out to collect their wages. If it weren't for them, how could this damn girl have the dignity of being a worker now?
The two set out early in the morning, bringing home-baked bread to eat as they walked.
"This mountain road is too tiring. This damn girl doesn't care about us at all. I heard that workers would give out bicycle tickets, but she hasn't gotten one for us in several years. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to work so hard and could show off in the village." Father Fang sat under a tree. He was really tired.
Every time they went to ask Fang Yingdi for their wages, it was usually Fang's mother who went. Fang's father would go if he was too lazy to go, or if there happened to be an ox cart from the village going to the city.
If Fang Yingdi hadn't lost control this time, Fang's father wouldn't have walked such a long way to go.
Fang's mother gasped, "This damn girl has really grown cocky. She thinks she's stable after working as a worker for so many years, so she wants to sever ties with us and disobey us. I'll beat her to death later."
Father Fang: "You'll have to eat something good later. The meat buns you brought back last time when you asked for money were really delicious."
Fang's mother nodded. "Yes, the meat buns are delicious. The vegetarian buns I had were also better than the ones we make ourselves. The ones made by the chefs in the state-owned restaurants are always better than those made by ordinary people. How do they make them?"
Fang's father and mother walked and cursed each other, and they arrived at the gate of the textile factory near noon.
Fang Yingdi and Qiao Yi had just finished their meal and were about to go to the dormitory to sit for a while when they heard a worker from next door calling her. Fang Yingdi's face turned pale and she was so scared that she felt like vomiting.
"They...they're coming." Fang Yingdi grabbed Qiao Yi's hand. "What should I do?"
Fang Yingdi no longer felt the same joy of seeing her parents as before. For one thing, she had already returned part of the money to Qiao Yi, and after deducting her own living expenses, she had to save the rest for Comrade Xia and Comrade Jiang. What Jiang Wenhua said made her no longer want to spend a penny.
Secondly, she had just realized that her parents would only bring her some pickles and spoiled meat, then tell her how good they were to her, then take the money and say that the whole family was counting on her and asked her to come home more often to help out. Fang Yingdi had heard this kind of talk since she was a child, and the more she heard it, the more she felt something was wrong.
Thirdly, she hadn't been home for two weeks. Given their personalities, they might really beat her up when they came back, and even throw a tantrum to embarrass the entire textile factory. If that attracted the attention of the factory leaders, she would definitely be criticized.
Fang Yingdi was really scared. Her parents were just like that. If she really stopped paying them and they fell out with her...
It didn't seem like a big deal. At most, she'd just be embarrassed. You couldn't fire her, could you? The last time Comrade Xia made such a big fuss, he even got a house. She'd definitely be fine with this level of trouble. Besides, she'd already hired Comrade Jiang and Comrade Xia, so there was no way anything could go wrong.
Fang Yingdi calmed herself down as she thought about it. Her complexion returned to normal and she even became a little excited.
Qiao Yi had just run out to call out to Old Lady Xia and Jiang Wenhua, fearing the situation would get out of control. They had a lot of plans, so the two most important participants absolutely had to be there.
Old Mrs. Xia was forced to have dinner with Jiang Wenhua today. Damn it, she was discovered by this bastard while she was eating and he insisted on sitting with her.
Jiang Wenhua would not sit with the young female workers, for fear that some bad rumors would spread and affect others. But it had nothing to do with Old Lady Xia. As an old lady, she couldn't have any rumors. Besides, they both had bad reputations. Who would mess with them?
He knew that when Old Lady Xia got divorced, she had caused trouble at the factory. That incident was very satisfying. To be honest, he had been unhappy with Director Yuan for a long time.
Ever since Old Lady Xia disciplined her, she's become much more obedient. Now she acts like a director. She used to be so arrogant, but who was she trying to impress? People who didn't know her would think she was the factory director. Even the factory director was more obedient than her.
Today, when he saw Lao Xia getting her meal, he immediately ate with her. Just when he was about to ask her if she would like to give him a piece of meat, he saw Lao Xia desperately stuffing meat into her mouth when he looked over, as if she had never eaten meat in her life.
Jiang Wenhua was stunned.
"Old Xia, what are you doing?" Jiang Wenhua asked.
Old Lady Xia swallowed with great effort and cursed, "Don't think I don't know why you, little bastard, are eating with me. Give up, I won't let you get any meat."
After spending a long time with Jiang Wenhua, you will feel that he is becoming more and more stingy, and this is true for everyone.
Jiang Wenhua mumbled, "I haven't even opened my mouth yet. I don't want your flesh, okay?"
Old Lady Xia: "That's because I've finished eating. If I hadn't, you would have persuaded me to give you meat. You're even more deceitful than the factory director."
The factory manager, who was sitting in the back and concentrating on his food, paused and coughed hard.
Then, Old Lady Xia and Jiang Wenhua looked at him together with clear eyes.
The factory manager felt a little uncomfortable for a moment. Even though they were the ones saying bad things about him, it was as if he had eavesdropped on their conversation. The factory manager was a little embarrassed. "Um, Lao Xia, Xiao Jiang, you two have a good relationship."
Jiang Wenhua quickly sat down next to the factory director, holding his lunch box and looking eagerly at the meat in the factory director's bowl. "Director, I want to eat meat."
The factory manager took a piece of meat and then scolded him, "You're the only one who saw the meat!"
Jiang Wenhua: "Old Xia saw it too."
Old Mrs. Xia immediately waved her hands and said, "I don't like eating meat."
The factory director sighed. He should have known better than to come to dinner at this time. He had only recently returned to the factory. He had been away for a meeting a few days before, and upon returning yesterday, he was informed that the troublemaker in the compound was causing trouble again. He was still praying that it wasn't their factory when Director Yuan dashed his hopes.
It was from their factory, or two and a half people were involved, and the half person was Tian Chengping, a former worker of their factory.
The factory director's head started to hurt again. He was going to call them over to ask questions after he finished his own business. He felt a little regretful. He actually arranged for the two of them to go together. Was this right?
But now that they had met, he had to say a few words, "Comrade Xia, did you two report to the Public Security Bureau again a few days ago?"
