After her daughter's wedding, Old Mrs. Xia devoted herself to her beloved career again. Today she was going to visit the home of Pan Yinghao, who had just been reported to the factory.
Seeing this reported incident, Old Lady Xia was furious. Pan Yinghao had four brothers, and he was the eldest. His job was transferred to him by his father. But now, his mother had suffered a stroke and was paralyzed in bed, and his father was not in good health. When they needed care the most, none of the children came.
When their mother was still in good health, she'd pick up odd jobs from the neighborhood office and the couple could barely get by. But now she's had a stroke. Their father is on medication year-round, and their mother, who's paralyzed, also needs medication. Their father's odd jobs barely cover their food and drink, and they can't afford medication.
But the sons all have jobs, but none of them come to take care of the child. Even if they don't come, giving them some money would be nice. But they push the responsibility back and forth. The second son says that if the eldest son doesn't give him, he won't give it either. The third, fourth, and fifth sons say that they found their own jobs, and only the eldest and second brothers' jobs were given by their parents, so they have no responsibility to take care of the child.
After pushing the issue back and forth like this, she was reported to Director Shao of the food factory. Director Shao had previously stated at the exchange meeting that he would improve himself and the atmosphere in the factory in the future, so she started to work on it as soon as the meeting was over.
Old Mrs. Xia was also invited to attend the women's director exchange conference organized by her organization, and benefited greatly from it.
The one working at the food factory is the third son of the Pan family, and the one working at Old Lady Xia's textile factory is the eldest son of the Pan family. I heard that Director Shao has notified all five of the Pan sons' factories, and today he's going to clarify this pension issue in front of the women's directors and their leaders at each factory.
Old Lady Xia couldn't help but admire Director Shao's executive ability, her ability to get everyone notified. Old Lady Xia knew her leadership foundation was shallow, and if she relied on herself, people from other factories might not listen to her.
"Xiao Fang, come with me to Comrade Pan Yinghao's home this morning and let's see what's going on. Last week I asked you to tell Comrade Pan Fu and their director. Did you notify them?" Old Mrs. Xia shouted.
Fang Yingdi said with some embarrassment, "I've notified Director Xia. However, their workshop director is reluctant to leave the factory, saying that the deadline is tight and it's too late."
Old Lady Xia: "You told me about this before, and I already know about it. Let's go first and see how it goes. Anyway, Director Song said that moral character is also a consideration for promotion. When the time comes, we will write a report and show it to the director."
Last month, Fang Yingdi submitted an application for a job transfer, and after it was approved, she began working with Old Lady Xia at the factory union. For the better part of a month, Comrade Xiao Fang's lethality was also quite impressive.
Ever since Old Lady Xia and Jiang Wenhua helped Xiao Fang solve her family problems, she has often followed Old Lady Xia. Even though Old Lady Xia was just a workshop worker at that time, she still followed her everywhere...to persuade her.
Qiao Yi was transferred to the factory's publicity department even earlier. She has beautiful handwriting and a good personality, so she should be doing well.
Old Mrs. Xia picked up Pan Fu's information and left the office with Xiao Fang.
When Old Lady Xia arrived, she was the last one. The others had already arrived and were sitting in the house. The atmosphere was a little tense.
Seeing Old Lady Xia coming, the elderly father of the Pan family tremblingly brought stools for them, and then sat beside Pan's mother's bed with slightly red eyes.
He felt bad watching his sons quarreling over the issue of providing for their parents. If he hadn't really had no chance of survival, he wouldn't have wanted to cause such a scene.
Old Mrs. Xia greeted everyone one by one. When she saw Pan Li from the cannery, she suddenly froze in shock. Facing the other party's puzzled look, Old Mrs. Xia forced herself to suppress her emotions and greeted the next person.
Pan...Pan Mei was the wife of the third son in her family in her previous life, and her father was this Pan Li.
When they got married, no relatives came except for Pan Li and his wife, and there wasn't even a wedding banquet on the bride's side. They said they had fallen out with their brothers and their parents had passed away, so no relatives came. So, when Old Lady Xia looked at her family's Pan Fu information this time, she didn't think about it at all.
I think it was this incident that caused them to break up.
Thinking of Pan Mei, Old Lady Xia was furious again. She was a daughter-in-law who was even more unreasonable than Zhu Wenying. In her previous life, she helped them take care of their children, but whenever the children cried, she would blame herself. This made the third child dissatisfied, and in the end, they drove her out.
The Pan Li couple were not easy to deal with either. She took care of the children at Xiangbei's house and sometimes had to serve them both. They didn't go to their son's house, but always came to their daughter's house to ask for money. They always came when Old Mrs. Xia was being supported by Xiangbei's family.
Old Lady Xia had reason to suspect that Pan Mei had deliberately let these two people torment her, because normally, Pan Mei didn't care much about her parents.
While Old Lady Xia was recalling her past life, the five sons of the Pan family had already started arguing.
"Big brother, don't put the blame on me. Dad gave you the job, and as the third child, I didn't get any benefits."
"Third brother, how dare you say you didn't take any benefits? Mom gave you a lot of money, right? The money you used to marry your wife was from the money I paid to the family after I started working."
"Second brother, I gave you my job, don't try to escape this responsibility."
"Fourth brother, Dad broke his leg while delivering food to your house. He recovered later, but his body is no longer in good condition. You have to accept this."
"Then Mom got sick when she gave birth to the fifth child. Maybe he is the culprit for Mom's current condition."
Old Mrs. Xia's ears were filled with the voices of the eldest, the second, and the third... Her head was dizzy. She looked at the others, and their expressions were not much better than hers.
In the presence of their leaders, these brothers started quarreling without any mercy, and the looks they gave their parents were not kind, not to mention when they were not around.
They were obviously the parents who raised them since they were young. Old Mrs. Xia thought about the performance of the old father of the Pan family in the factory before he changed his job. Everyone said that he was an honest man and was good to his children. He should not be the kind of person who would ignore his children. But why are these children like this?
Later in the quarrel, several children suddenly started attacking their parents. Some said that they were a burden, some said that they were biased, and some even asked why their parents didn't just die since the situation was already like this, and why they had to be a burden to them.
The old man of the Pan family watched this farce and shed tears, his tears were cloudy.
The mother of the Pan family was lying on the bed, holding up her trembling hands, mumbling something, tears sliding from the corners of her eyes onto the pillow.
"Shut up!" Director Shao, as the initiator of this incident, really didn't expect that someone could be so bad to their parents.
