Ye Zhiguo didn't go home until dark. The old lady thought he was working the night shift temporarily and wasn't too worried because this had happened before.
In the past, if Ye Zhiguo had to work the night shift, he would call home to let her know. But the old lady hadn't received a call from Ye Zhiguo by 8 p.m., so she started to worry.
"What's wrong with your dad? Is he working the night shift or not? Go ask Zhao Di's family!"
Ye Qingqing had already learned from Zhao Di that Ye Zhiguo had been fired, and she was in a good mood!
I guess Ye Zhiguo is too ashamed to go home, so he ran off somewhere to hide!
However, she still pretended to go out for a stroll before returning home and telling the old lady about Ye Zhiguo's dismissal.
The old lady was terrified. "Your father was fired? Zhao Di, are you kidding me? How could your father be fired... Absolutely impossible..."
"Zhao Di said her father is mentally ill. He beat up the boss yesterday and beat up the factory manager today. It's no wonder the factory manager fired him!"
The old lady was even more incredulous. She knew her eldest son better than anyone; he had always been sensible since he was a child.
She used to raise three sons alone, and as an orphan and widow, she was inevitably bullied in the village.
Without a man to support her at home, even if she is very capable, she will sometimes suffer losses. Therefore, the old lady often tells her three sons that it is better to suffer a little loss than to cause trouble outside.
The old lady remembered clearly that Ye Zhiguo once had a conflict with the village chief's son. The village chief's son had a bad temper and hit him. Ye Zhiguo was clearly taller and stronger than the village chief's son, but he did not fight back and preferred to be beaten black and blue by the village chief's son.
Later, the village chief felt bad about it and gave the old woman extra work points.
With the eldest son being so patient, how could he possibly go and hit the leaders and factory manager?
The old lady simply didn't believe it.
"Zhao Di must be talking nonsense... That's impossible..."
The old lady said it was impossible, but her expression remained anxious, and she was actually starting to believe it.
My eldest son has been acting strangely lately. He even chased Shen Yanhong away. His temper is getting worse and worse, and he might actually go and beat up the leaders and the factory manager!
How foolish!
Now that I've lost my job, where am I going to earn money to support my family?
The old lady became more and more anxious, pacing back and forth in a panic. It was a pity that Ye Zhiguo was not in front of her, otherwise she would definitely ask her eldest son what was wrong.
Why not enjoy a perfectly good life instead of deliberately courting disaster and ruining your own life!
Ye Zhiguo didn't go home until midnight.
They didn't call back.
The old lady was so tired that she had to go back to her room to sleep.
The next morning, Ye Zhiguo still did not return. In just one night, the old lady looked more than ten years older; her back was more hunched and the wrinkles on her face were deeper.
Although she wasn't in the mood, the old lady still had to go to the market to pick up vegetable scraps, otherwise the chickens at home would have nothing to eat.
Luckily, she raised so many chickens, which saved her some money during the Lunar New Year. Otherwise, the little money she earned from pasting cardboard boxes wouldn't be enough to buy New Year's goods!
The old lady carrying a vegetable basket walked slowly, not as energetic as usual, and looked down as if she was thinking.
They didn't notice that there were several neighbors ahead, one of whom was Zhao Di's mother.
"Did you know? Ye Zhiguo got fired and is now unemployed!" Zhao Di's mother gossiped excitedly.
"Has his preference for men been exposed?" Others had very vivid imaginations.
