Chapter 28 The Next Day
Uncle Fu has always been a strong man, and it can be said that he has never suffered such a humiliation.
When he returned home, he became angrier and angrier, and even broke two tea bowls, which made his aunt very sad.
"Aren't you going to deal with Su Taotao? Why did you get so angry? What happened? Did you deal with her? Did you beg us?"
In the past, Su Taotao didn't care about anything, and it was convenient for her to go to the second wife's house to use the toilet and get some side dishes. I don't know what's wrong with that damn girl recently. She even wants to collect eggs when her aunt goes to the toilet, which really makes her angry.
Yesterday, someone gave her a letter of accusation, and she immediately gave it to her husband and asked him to deal with Su Taotao. She didn't expect her husband to be so angry.
Uncle Fu poked the aunt's head: "What are you talking about? I think it's better to deal with you! Don't send me any messy reports in the future. I don't have the time to deal with these trivial matters!"
The aunt was confused: "No, look at the second house. The family is suddenly bright and beautiful, stewing meat every day. Zhou Linglan wore rubber sandals a few days ago. How did she get the money if she didn't go out to speculate?"
Uncle Fu hasn't said anything yet. The aunt didn't know what she had thought of. She slapped her thigh and said, "Could it be that Su Taotao went to the county town to have an affair? Is she subsidized by the adulterer in the county town?" The aunt slapped her thigh again, "It must be like this, look at her foxy appearance with a protruding front and a protruding back. Otherwise, why would she go to the county town every market day?! Her father, you must control yourself. You can’t let this vixen embarrass our Fu family. It was embarrassing enough when she jumped into the river...”
Uncle Fu couldn’t stand to hear the word shame at all. As soon as the aunt finished speaking, Uncle Fu kicked her on the butt: “Are you done, bitch? ! You make trouble all day long and almost killed me, do you know that? Su Taotao is now an honest worker and has an employment contract with a state-owned hotel. If you keep gossiping about her, I will teach you a lesson!”
The aunt staggered and almost fell down after being kicked by him. Uncle Fu was too proud to do anything easily. If he hadn’t been very angry, he wouldn’t have kicked her. It didn’t hurt, but it was humiliating.
The aunt had two sons to support her, and she hadn't suffered such a humiliation in many years. She turned around and rushed to him: "You dead ghost actually hit me?! I'm going to fight with you!" Uncle Fu was
very strong, he grabbed her hands and pushed her forward: "Have you made enough trouble? Don't you think I'm embarrassed enough today? Will you be happy if you lose my position as the team leader?"
Uncle Fu knew how to control her best. If there was anyone who cared more about the position of the team leader besides Uncle Fu, it must be the aunt. She relied on her title as the team leader's wife to act arrogantly and suppress others everywhere. How could she bear to see him lose his job?
When the aunt heard this, she stopped and her rationality, which was kicked away by Uncle Fu, returned: "Then you can't do it. If you do it again, I will let my son beat you to death. What's the matter with Su Taotao being a worker working in a state-owned hotel now?"
After such a commotion, Uncle Fu's anger subsided a lot, and his voice was not so strong: "How should I know what's going on? Anyway, she is a real worker in a state-owned hotel now, and you and I can't afford to offend her. Okay, let's end this matter here. And Zhengtu may be back soon, so don't cause me any trouble recently." When
the aunt heard this, she was shocked again: "Zhengtu is coming back soon? He's not, isn't he going to be back like his father?"
Uncle Fu wanted to kick her again, pointing his finger at her for a long time, unable to speak.
The biggest failure in his life was marrying such a fool, who couldn't even do the superficial work of winning over the second wife's family. She couldn't help him at all and caused trouble for him all the time.
In fact, he regretted it very much on the way back. His original intention was just to give them a warning, not to make the relationship awkward. That family usually didn't respond to scolding or beating, but today, he didn't know what had happened. Every word from his niece-in-law hit him hard. How could he bear it?
No matter what, Zhengtu was the golden phoenix that flew out of their production team and his own nephew. Although he didn't know what he did specifically, how could he be picked up by a four-wheeled military vehicle? It was all the fault of the stinky woman at home. Why did she receive the tip-off? It was also his fault for not being able to keep his temper.
"What good will it do you if my nephew dies? Just don't make trouble."
The aunt curled her lips and said disdainfully: "It won't do you any good if he's not dead either. You're talking as if he respects you as his uncle."
"You..." Uncle Fu was too lazy to talk to her, "Why don't you go and cook!"
The aunt was still afraid of the head of the family. She was absent-minded while cooking, thinking about how to get Su Taotao's job after her two sons came back.
It's better for his sons to give a young wife from another place to work as a worker in a state-owned hotel.
Su Taotao naturally didn't know that Uncle Fu's family had ulterior motives. She didn't think they were that bad. Fu Zhengtu's family were all good people. Uncle Fu's family, who came from the same ancestor, shouldn't be much worse.
The hotel business is still booming. The First Hotel in the east is attracting customers from the Second Hotel in the west and the Third Hotel in the south.
Chef Xu is so busy that he can’t handle it. The hotel’s turnover has increased several times. The leadership team is very satisfied and gave Su Taotao an extra bonus. They also plan to hire another chef, a waiter and a handyman.
When Su Taotao came back with the bamboo shoots, Chef Xu asked for her opinion. If there is a suitable candidate, he said he would give her a recommendation.
These days, workers have iron rice bowls that can be passed down from generation to generation. It's a pitfall. Let's not talk about how much it costs to buy a workstation. Even if you have money, you can't buy a workstation. The higher-ups actually secured a regular worker quota for Su Taotao. It can be said that the leadership team thinks highly of Su Taotao.
Su Taotao thought about it and couldn't find a suitable candidate. She shook her head and said, "I don't have a suitable candidate here. You should find a suitable helper to reduce your workload."
The people around who heard it took a breath of cold air and looked at Su Taotao with a look of "Are you a fool?"
Chef Xu had a complicated look in his eyes. He had originally planned to turn a blind eye to whoever Su Taotao sent in. You know, this workstation is worth at least a few hundred yuan. Even if he doesn't ask his relatives and friends for help, he can still make a few hundred yuan by selling the workstation. He didn't expect that Su Taotao was so sincere and caring about him and the hotel that she actually let him make the decision.
Chef Xu looked at Su Taotao's clear eyes, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. He just said, "Okay, I got it."
Su Taotao was really wronged. She was a young educated youth from another place. She didn't have a good relationship with other educated youths at the educated youth site. She got married early. There were old and young people in her family. Uncle Fu's family was not worthy of her doing this favor. Even she herself would quit her job and leave here in a few months. What was the point of doing this favor? It would be better to do a favor to Chef Xu.
On the next market day, Chef Xu actually gave Su Taotao 500 yuan.
500 yuan! 50 big reunion tickets! Su Taotao's eyes were wide open!
You know, when she first came here, her entire fortune was only 12.85 yuan. Later, she got back 250 yuan from debt collection. The bonus she received last month was only 10 yuan plus a bag of rice and a barrel of oil.
Five hundred yuan can buy a small house in a small county in this era.
It is a huge sum of money! "What do you mean, Chef Xu?"
Chef Xu looked embarrassed: "I sold the work station for you. It was my former comrade-in-arms. I didn't want to ask for a high price. It was slightly lower than the market price."
"Is this legal?" She is a law-abiding first-class citizen. She won't do anything illegal! Not even fifty big group cards!
Chef Xu was stunned for a moment, then he smiled: "There is no such thing as legal or illegal. For example, I can sell my workstation or let my son take over my workstation. It's up to us. The higher-ups won't care."
Su Taotao understood that the iron rice bowl is called an iron rice bowl because it is "hereditary". Whoever is given it belongs to it. How to deal with it is also a personal matter.
Su Taotao thought about it and returned 25 of the big group tickets to Chef Xu: "I'll take this much. You can handle the rest." She thought to herself
that she was arguing with an idiot.
Chef Xu: "How can that be? It's already lower than the market price."
Su Taotao pushed all of them back, "Then I don't want them."
Chef Xu couldn't persuade her: "Okay, okay, I'll thank you on behalf of my comrades." It was really the first time he had seen such a person.
You say she doesn't love money, but she argued for the money she deserved, the accounts she should report, and the bonus she should ask for, and she would not give up a cent. You
say she loves money, but she returned half of such a large sum of money without blinking an eye.
However, she is probably the only one in history who dares to make such a request to cooperate with a state-owned hotel, so it is reasonable for her to be different.
Chef Xu is not a shy person, so he accepted her favor and would repay her when he has the chance in the future.
Su Taotao didn't think so much, she understood that this was probably one of the characteristics of the times.
But when she heard that the other party was a veteran like Chef Xu, she would not accept even this 250 yuan if she had a little money, but Chef Xu would not feel at ease if she didn't accept it. In addition, the salary offered by the hotel was not bad, and his comrade-in-arms would be able to earn it back in a short time, so he symbolically accepted half of it.
So far, Su Taotao's entire fortune is less than 500 yuan.
It's really hard to make money without buying and selling on the black market.
"Su Zhiqing, there's a telegram for you."
Since Su Taotao told the postman last time that she works at the First Hotel every morning on market days, the postman will wait for the market day to deliver the letter here.
The first person Su Taotao thought of was the original owner's family when she was about to send her a telegram.
However, when she took it in her hand, there were only three words -
arrived the next day
Su Taotao: "..."
It was still a letter without a letter, Su Taotao didn't even need to look at the handwriting, who else would write a letter like this except her cheap husband?
Then she looked at the date, yesterday's telegram, didn't it arrive today?
Su Taotao was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses, so her cheap husband was coming back today?
She was not mentally prepared yet!
