Zhou Meimei supported Ding Ermei and walked slowly back to Zhoujia Village.
When she got home, Zhou Meimei shouted loudly: "Is anyone home? We are back!"
"Oh, my little sister is back? When did you arrive?" Ding Xiaocui heard Zhou Meimei's voice and hurried out of the house and said.
"I came back on the first bus this morning, and after getting off the bus I went to the hospital to take care of my mother." Zhou Meimei hurriedly "took credit" for herself.
Seeing Ding Ermei's stern face, Ding Xiaocui shrank back and asked, "Mom, why are you discharged from the hospital? I was thinking that after dinner, I would come to the hospital and take over from my sister-in-law to take care of you!"
Ding Xiaocui returned home two hours earlier than Chen Jinfeng.
As soon as I got home, I fell into bed and fell into a deep sleep. I just woke up not long ago.
After returning home, Chen Jinfeng went to bed in a hurry and did not have time to tell Ding Xiaocui the news that Zhou Meimei had returned.
"Hmph! Are you going to starve to death in the hospital if you don't leave? You are all so lazy that you don't even know to deliver a bite of food." Ding Ermei rolled her eyes at Ding Xiaocui and said.
"Mom, the doctor said you can't eat before 1:30 in the afternoon, so I didn't dare to send you there." Ding Xiaocui was stunned and said.
"I can't eat, Meimei needs to eat! You two are being lazy at home, and Meimei is working so hard to take care of me in the hospital, and what's the result? You, as her brother and sister-in-law, don't even bring Meimei a meal, is that decent?" Ding Ermei took the opportunity to get angry.
"Mom, I really didn't know my younger sister was back. Little sister, what do you want to eat? Second sister-in-law will make it now." Ding Xiaocui asked with a wry smile.
"Let's eat noodles! Remember to fry two poached eggs for me and put them in there. Mom wants to drink white porridge, and the doctor said she has to drink it for two days in a row." Zhou Meimei ordered the food without hesitation.
"Okay, I'll do it right away." Ding Xiaocui turned and left.
Ding Ermei was obviously unhappy.
Ding Xiaocui would rather go to work than stand in front of Ding Ermei and be scolded.
Zhou Bingqiang and Chen Jinfeng did not come out. The couple were sleeping in the room and snoring loudly.
Zhou Bingqiang and Chen Jinfeng both stayed up all night last night and were now in a deep sleep and couldn't wake up at all.
With the support of Zhou Meimei, Ding Ermei slowly walked into her room.
Zhou Fugui was originally sitting on the bed, reading a newspaper and smoking, and the room was filled with smoke.
Seeing Ding Ermei preparing to lie down on the bed, Zhou Fugui made way and sat down at the small square table.
"Dad, long time no see. Did you miss me?" Zhou Meimei sat down on the stool next to Zhou Fugui.
"Once you get married, you belong to someone else's family. I have your two brothers by my side, so why would I miss you?" Zhou Fugui glanced at Zhou Meimei and said slowly.
"Dad, can't you just coax me a few words?" Zhou Meimei stomped her feet, unhappy.
"I coax you, but who coaxes me? A married daughter comes back to her parents' home without even thinking of buying something to coax your father. It's really outrageous." Zhou Fugui couldn't help but scold him a few words.
I don’t know if this daughter is a Pi Xiu that has turned into a spirit. Apart from bringing back some gifts during the Chinese New Year, she doesn’t show any filial piety to her parents at other times.
"Dad, how can I have time to buy things? I was really scared this time. I thought I was going to become a motherless child." Zhou Meimei sniffed and looked sad.
"Your mother just likes to make trouble. If she continues to do so, be careful that she might really lose her life one day." Zhou Fugui glanced at Ding Ermei and said unhappily.
Ding Ermei closed her eyes and said nothing.
This hospitalization cost the family twenty dollars, and Ding Ermei didn't want to make Zhou Fugui angry.
Seeing that Ding Ermei had "surrendered", Zhou Fugui stopped scolding her.
In the past few days, Ding Ermei was taken to the police station and then to the hospital, and no one washed Zhou Fugui's clothes.
In the morning, no one brought Zhou Fugui water to wash his face, and in the evening, no one brought Zhou Fugui water to wash his feet. Zhou Fugui was too embarrassed to ask his daughter-in-law for help, and then he realized that although Ding Ermei was a little stupid, she usually took good care of him.
"Ahem! Meimei! Is your company recruiting temporary workers recently? If so, please ask your second brother to keep an eye out for it." Zhou Fugui cleared his throat and started talking about business with Zhou Meimei.
Ever since Zhou Fugui gave the job to Zhou Meimei, Zhou Bingxing changed from a "good boy" to a "rebellious boy".
Every time I talk to Zhou Fugui, I would end up arguing with him.
After much thought, Zhou Fugui decided that he should let Zhou Meimei solve Zhou Bingxing's work problem so that the family could restore its former harmony.
"Dad, our cotton mill only recruits regular workers and rarely recruits temporary workers." Zhou Meimei's face lengthened and she looked unhappy.
"Or, you can ask your in-laws to help and see if other companies are hiring temporary workers. Your second brother has always been smart, but he has always stayed in the countryside to work. It's a pity." Zhou Fugui said after taking a puff of his cigarette.
"Dad, a temporary job pays three to four hundred yuan now! Does your family have that much money?" Zhou Meimei asked.
"Cough cough cough..." Zhou Fugui was choked by his own saliva.
Three or four hundred yuan. Before Ding Ermei was cheated out of money, she and Zhou Fugui might have been able to come up with the money. Now? It should be impossible.
"Dad, you don't want me to do you a favor and spend money to help my second brother find a job, do you?" Zhou Meimei's face was long.
"Meimei, didn't dad give you his job? It's a formal job. You got your second brother a temporary job, so you're the one who made a profit." Zhou Fugui tried to reason with Zhou Meimei.
"Dad, I'm unhappy when you say that. You gave me my job voluntarily, and I didn't snatch it away. When you gave me the job, you didn't tell me to find jobs for my brothers in the future! Otherwise, I wouldn't want it! Going abroad to be a rich wife is much more enjoyable than being a worker." Zhou Meimei showed disdain.
"Shut up, do you want to live?" Zhou Fugui shouted.
Zhou Meimei pouted and said nothing.
"Don't ever say such things in the future. If someone hears it, it will be a disaster. At the beginning, your aunt Dahua was just joking. You can't take it seriously. Live a good life with your son-in-law in the future, and don't think too much." Zhou Fugui warned with a gloomy face.
"I got it! Dad, don't say anything like I owe my brother a job in the future. When I become an official in the factory in a few years, I can think of a solution for my nephews." Zhou Meimei took the opportunity to put forward conditions.
It is not easy to be promoted from a worker to a cadre. Zhou Meimei doesn’t know whether she will have such an opportunity in her life.
Zhou Meimei's implication was that if she didn't become a cadre, she would no longer be involved in her nephews' affairs. Even if she did, Zhou Jiaxiang and Zhou Jiasheng were still young!
It takes at least ten years to reach working age.
Zhou Meimei said this because she wanted to give herself a few more decades of relaxation.
This way, Zhou Fugui wouldn’t ask about my work every time I go back to my parents’ home.
"That's fine too. I'll talk to your second brother." Zhou Fugui thought about it and agreed.
My son is already in this state. If my grandson can go to the city, maybe he can find a chance to escape from farming?
