Jiang Wenhua seemed a little bewildered. "No, Lao Xia and I are living peacefully together. Why would we go to the police station? I can't expect her and I to start a fight, right?"
Old Lady Xia nodded: "Yes, we are very well-behaved."
The factory director tapped his lunch box with his chopsticks and said, "You're still trying to hide this from me. The police told me and even broke their heads."
Old Mrs. Xia: "Ah, you mean that time? That had nothing to do with the factory. It was my family's affair. It's normal to have some conflicts at home."
Jiang Wenhua nodded: "Yes, our family affairs."
The factory director frowned: "What does Comrade Xia's family affairs have to do with you?"
Jiang Wenhua: "Director, you really are... As a neighborly person, how can I not help Old Xia? If she, a little old lady, is pushed down and injured by her nephew, it will be a disaster. As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. I..."
Before she could finish her words, Old Lady Xia saw Qiao Yi running towards them in a hurry.
She stood up immediately, remembering the salary she had just received today, and immediately thought of Fang Yingdi. At this moment, the only thing that could make Qiao Yi so panicked was Fang Yingdi's unreliable parents.
Her parents are even worse than Dong Chunmiao's parents. At least they know not to feed the cows only pickles, and they will occasionally give them some good food, which keeps them under their control.
Fang Yingdi's parents are clearly greedy and stupid.
Jiang Wenhua was still arguing with the factory director when he was hit by Old Lady Xia unexpectedly. He raised his head and started packing up his lunch box. He also helped Old Lady Xia close the lid of the lunch box and put it in her hand, then pulled her and started running.
The factory director just blinked his eyes, and the two living people disappeared from his sight.
broken.
Qiao Yi talked as she walked, and when she reached their dormitory, she yelled and called Fang Yingdi out.
Fang Yingdi had calmed down by now. Seeing them coming, she said, "Send them away. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
Jiang Wenhua pressed the issue further, "Can I drink?"
Fang Yingdi slapped his arm and shouted, "Drink it! Go buy some! You can't leave until you finish it."
The four of them walked towards the gate in a menacing manner. Anyone who saw them thought they were going to do something big, just like the rumors said.
Soon, everyone in the factory knew about it.
Fang Yingdi's hands felt a little cold, and when she saw two people peeking outside the door, her heart started beating again.
When Fang's mother saw her come out, she immediately raised her hand and waved. When she got closer, she immediately complained, "San Ya, you're finally out. I haven't seen you for almost a month. The housework is done by me and the fourth girl, and the fourth girl likes to slack off. I almost can't come to see you. San Ya, why don't you come home recently?"
Fang Yingdi forced a smile and said, "Mom, I'm a little tired, so I won't go back."
Fang's mother: "Are you tired? Is being a worker more tiring than working in the fields for us farmers? Sanya, you're the only capable person in our family. You can't let me down. You know, you're my most precious person."
Fang Yingdi heard familiar words. She used to hear them once a week, but she hadn't been there for the past two weeks. Every time she heard them again, she felt a prickling sensation all over her body. "Mom, you can't even earn full work points working in the fields, and you still rely on the money I give you. Why are you so tired? Aren't I the one who supports the family now?"
Hearing this, Father Fang felt as if someone was scrutinizing him, and he wasn't happy about it. As the head of the family, how could he possibly let a little girl raise him? He was clearly the one supporting the family. Wasn't it right that San Ya gave the family the household allowance? If he hadn't raised her, would she have had the opportunity to work as a worker?
How many girls in the village were killed before they even saw the sun, how could Fang Yingdi, who had grown up so well, not know how to be grateful? The main reason for her current success was that he, the head of the family, raised her well, so shouldn't she pay the money?
There is no child in the village who has separated from his family. Who earns money but doesn't pay the family allowance? Why is she the only ungrateful one?
Father Fang seemed to have heard someone muttering and laughing at him. He immediately felt his self-esteem hurt and started cursing, "San Ya, you can't be a person without conscience. Think about it yourself. You can live to this age because I, your father, raised you. You can become a worker because I, your father, paid for your education.
If it weren't for me, you'd have been married like your two sisters, or at least engaged like Si Ya, and your mother and I could have received a betrothal gift. Now you're saying such heartless things. What do you mean you support the family? How many times a month can you come home? How much housework can you do? Don't talk like we don't do anything and you're the only one making money.
We really raised you in vain. We raised a dog that would wag its tail at us, but we raised a thing like you, and now that you've become a worker, you want to kick out your parents and brothers who have been raising fish for you."
Fang's father slapped her hard, and Fang Yingdi covered her face and shed a tear.
More and more people gathered around and began to whisper.
"What this uncle said makes sense. If my daughter, whom I raised with great effort, said something like this, I would be heartbroken. If she doesn't even want to pay a little bit of household expenses, then isn't it a waste of raising her?"
"My family also pays wages, but my children are all workers and all pay the same wage. This is normal."
"Yes, it's easy to spend the salary if I keep it myself. I'll give some to my mother. When I get married, my mother will deduct the household expenses and then give the money to me as a dowry. It's a win-win situation."
"It's better for a family to work together. If one person is selfish, the family will be in big trouble, and it will be difficult to resolve. That's why my family also pays."
"Is this Comrade Fang Yingdi? Why do I think it's her? If it's her, then it's a different matter."
"What do you mean, she is a different matter."
"I heard that she was the only worker in her family, and every month she gave all her salary to her parents, and she only ate pickles and rice."
"I think I've heard of this before. At the time, I thought any man who married a woman like that would be incredibly unlucky. She's so devoted to her family and doesn't care about her own health at all."
"Is she? If so, I'm going to write down the faces of these two old guys and tell others about them. That would be shameless."
There are many different opinions.
"I...I..." Fang Yingdi wanted to say that they didn't get many work points from working in the fields, and the time they spent slacking off was longer than the time they spent working in the fields. She also wanted to say that few men in the family worked, and even things like plastering walls and repairing roofs were done by her and her sister. What she wanted to say even more was that most of the money for her schooling was earned by picking medicinal herbs in the mountains without letting her family know and then selling them in the city, and she even used scholarships to pay for her high school tuition.
However, she just couldn't organize her words properly. She kept saying "I" for a long time but couldn't utter a single useful word.
