Looking down the street, I saw an old lady lying on the ground. Her clothes were covered in patches and dust.
"What's going on?" asked a middle-aged woman on the street, pointing at the people on the ground.
When Zhang Xiufen saw someone coming, she immediately got up and hugged the street official's thigh.
"You have to make the decision for me. My son won't even support me. What's going on?"
This situation is actually very rare. After all, city people usually just talk big. If they really want to make a scene, they wouldn't do such a thing. It's too cheap and makes people laugh at them.
But Zhang Xiufen was not afraid. She wished the whole city would know about it.
The street official also remained calm and helped the old lady up. "Old lady, if you have anything to say, please tell me. Have you come to the city to get a letter of introduction? Which brigade did you come from?"
letter of introduction?
Zhang Xiufen was stunned for a moment. She had decided to come here on the spur of the moment and hadn't thought about getting a letter of introduction.
"Well, I don't have a letter of introduction. What kind of letter of introduction do I need to come to my son's house?" she asked righteously.
The neighborhood official smiled faintly and said, "You can't leave without a letter of introduction. You must leave tonight. If you don't leave, you will be sent back to the brigade, and they will educate you."
"What the hell?!" Zhang Xiufen was stunned. She didn't understand what was said at the beginning, but she understood the second part about asking the team to educate her.
How embarrassing!
The street official wasn't trying to scare her. After all, without a letter of introduction, you couldn't go anywhere, especially in the city. "You want to stay here overnight? You need a letter of introduction."
"If you don't have a letter of introduction, leave immediately! Otherwise, the police will come and arrest you as a vagrant." The people on the street were not polite either.
After all, not only does it waste time, it also delays their work.
If you use this powerful method, you can scare away an old lady directly without any effort and save time, achieving the best of both worlds.
Zhang Xiufen was indeed frightened. She didn't dare to make a scene with the cadre-like man in front of her. She could only look back at the people from Lao Wang's family with hatred.
Then, she said to Xu Guangtian, "Even if I can't come today, I can still come tomorrow! You have to take care of me in my old age anyway. Please clean up this house for me, and I'll come over tomorrow with a letter of introduction!"
After saying that, she turned and left.
At this point, Zhang Xiufen’s meaning was very clear. When the letter of introduction arrived tomorrow, no one would be able to control her!
Wang Xiumin's face was full of worry. After all, her mother-in-law was a person who kept her word, especially when it came to things that were beneficial to her.
Seeing that people had left, the street officials also had to leave.
Wang Zhongshan hurried over to see them off, "Comrade, I'm sorry to bother you today."
The neighborhood official waved his hand and said, "Serving the people, but if she brings a letter of introduction tomorrow, I won't be able to do anything. Family matters are difficult to judge, so you two should discuss this properly."
They have no good way to deal with people like Zhang Xiufen.
After all, she doesn't know how to embarrass herself, and no one can do anything when she starts throwing a tantrum.
Wang Zhongshan nodded and sent the person away.
After returning, everyone in the yard had their heads hung down and looked depressed.
This matter is easy to handle. Just drive them away when they come, but Xu Guangtian is here. No matter what, she is his mother who gave birth to him and raised him.
Even if Zhang Xiufen was unreasonable, it would be really excessive if Xu Guangtian really asked her to chase her away.
Wang Zhongshan sighed and said, "Just do what you need to do. Stop standing here."
The neighbors around were watching the fun, and to be honest, they all felt embarrassed.
But with such an in-law, what can anyone do? All they can do is endure it.
Xu Guangtian remained silent, with a lot on his mind. He was able to come to the city this time because of the job his father-in-law found for Xiangyang.
He knew how his mother had treated him over the years and didn't think too much about it.
So, if Zhang Xiufen wanted to move in, that would be absolutely impossible because he would not agree anyway.
Filial piety is one thing, but if you, the elder, cannot do that, you cannot find fault with others.
What's more, he gives pension money every year, and it's not less. He has done everything he should do.
He no longer cares about how his family treats him. Now that he has his own family, he just needs to take care of his own little family.
In the room, Grandma Wang looked outside with a worried look on her face at Xu Guangtian who was in a daze.
She turned to look at her daughter and asked, "Xiu Min, do you think Guang Tian will be soft-hearted?"
In fact, in this era, filial piety can crush people. If Xu Guangtian dared to abandon his old mother, he would probably be criticized by others.
Even if Zhang Xiufen is no longer a human being, she is still his biological mother.
Wang Xiumin laughed when she heard her words, and said confidently, "Mom, you don't have to worry about this. Even though Guangtian doesn't like to talk, Xiangyang and I are definitely the first ones in his heart. My mother-in-law wants to live here? Regardless of whether we agree or not, Guangtian will definitely agree, so don't worry."
This is also the reason why Wang Xiumin has not disliked him for so many years.
Even though the man is not ambitious, he always puts her and the children first.
A man who knows how to love his children and wife is a good man, much better than those who are foolishly filial and only listen to others.
Just like Xu Laoer's family, they are listless and just do whatever others say. Such a family has no future.
She was very satisfied in her heart. Her man loved her and her child was promising. What else could she ask for?
Grandma Wang frowned. Although this was a good thing, she couldn't help feeling a little worried.
"Mom, don't worry, it's okay!" Wang Xiumin smiled and comforted her, then went back to doing what she had to do.
Xu Xiangyang worked a day, actually just sitting in the office, and then the company used the car to help him with some work.
After work, I will send Director Yang home.
While driving on the road, Director Yang, who was sitting in the back seat, said, "Xiao Xu, do you think our unit has too many people?"
The inexplicable question left Xu Xiangyang unable to react, but the Grain Bureau was large and of course there were many people, so why was he asking this?
He nodded and said, "Yes, there are quite a lot of people."
Director Yang sighed, "We have quite a few people in our unit, but there's only so much work to do. How many people are we supporting for nothing?"
It's like this now, but once it gets busy, it's normal, otherwise there won't be enough manpower.
Xu Xiangyang glanced at him through the rearview mirror. Only he heard what he said. If others heard it, they would directly accuse him.
He felt that he still had to remind him. No matter how many things Director Yang had, he was a person who cared about the country and was a good director.
"Director Yang, we can talk about these things in private, but you can't say them in public." Xu Xiangyang advised earnestly.
But when Director Yang heard this, he became a little angry.
What do you mean you can’t tell others about it?!
