Chapter 192 What can you do if I don't support you in your old age?
Sometimes prejudice is a mountain!
Whichever one you like, even if it's just saying nice things, it's still considered very filial!
That night, Zhao Erdan and Xie Hongli lay in bed, looking at their two sleeping children, filled with joy!
"Erdan, thank you for understanding me!"
Zhao Erdan was filled with guilt: "It's not that I understand you, it's that I should thank you for giving me a chance!"
But the next day, the factory gave Zhao Erdan a big shock.
"What? Captain, what do you mean?"
"Erdan, you're just a temporary worker. Your dismissal was a decision made by the factory management. I really can't find you a job!"
This is your salary for this month. There are still a few days left, but I'll pay you in full!
"Take this and go quickly!"
Zhao Erdan was a little dazed. He was doing a good job, so why was he suddenly fired? The team leader had even said that he was efficient and had a chance to be promoted!
Impossible, how could this happen?
What will happen to my family if I lose my job?
Just when we were about to start living a good life...
But being dismissed is being dismissed. Zhao Erdan came out of the gate looking dejected, but he immediately saw his mother and sister-in-law talking.
"Mom...Sister-in-law?"
Liu Fei snorted and turned away, refusing to speak to Zhao Erdan!
Zhao's mother laughed and said, "Erdan, aren't you at work? Why are you out here?"
Zhao Erdan was still wondering why his mother and sister-in-law were here. He replied, "I was fired!"
"Oh, you got fired! Hehe... Erdan, it's okay, you're pretty good anyway, just find another job!"
Right?
Besides, there aren't many people in your family, so how much could you possibly spend on food?
"Mom, don't worry!"
Zhao Erdan looked at his mother, a thought forming in his mind, but he dared not verify it!
He dared not think too deeply about why his mother could still smile when he was laid off and the family had no income!
"Mom, sister-in-law, I'm going back now!"
"Okay, you can go back now. Hongli has a good temper and won't blame you!"
Zhao's mother said!
After Zhao Erdan left, Liu Fei turned around and said with a smile, "Mom, Erdan is your own son, how could you really do such a thing?"
"You really won't blame me later?"
Zhao's mother snorted: "He should have listened to her. He brought this on himself. Who's to blame? He didn't want to be a good son."
Then go and become a beggar!
Without money, I wonder if Xie Hongli would still be willing to stay with him.
They'll come back begging to me someday!
Liu Fei gave a mocking laugh!
"Mom, you promised, I won't be giving you any money for the next three months!"
"Okay! Got it!"
Zhao's mother rolled her eyes!
"Er...Erdan, why are you back?"
Xie Hongli was startled when she opened the door!
"Hongli, I'm sorry!"
Seeing her husband's weak and listless appearance, she asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhao Erdan sat down and spoke after a long pause: "I've been fired!"
"Huh? What?"
Xie Hongli felt as if she had been struck on the head!
"How could that be? Doesn't your boss always praise you, saying you're proactive and efficient, and that you might be promoted to a permanent position soon?"
Zhao Erdan looked at Xie Hongli and continued, "I saw Mom and my sister-in-law at the entrance of my workplace! I told them I was fired, and Mom seemed very happy!"
Xie Hongli stared at Zhao Erdan with her mouth agape, her eyes filled with heartache!
so……
Did Mom make it?
She couldn't understand it. Wasn't Zhao Erdan her mother-in-law's biological son? Besides, he was her only son now!
Why did you do this to him?
Is it because he's not as obedient as before?
She stepped forward and gently hugged him: "It's okay, it's okay, the most important thing is that our family is together!"
"We'll find a way!"
Zhao Erdan handed his salary to Xie Hongli: "This is my salary for this month. Take it, I'll figure something out!"
He can't be discouraged; he has a family to support!
He has a wife and children.
Although he was heartbroken, but...
After giving the money to Xie Hongli, Zhao Erdan left!
Xie Hongli was furious, so she locked the door and went to the Zhao family's house!
"Bang bang bang bang, open the door!"
"Who is it? What's going on?"
It was Zhao's mother who opened the door!
Upon seeing Xie Hongli, he immediately smiled.
"Oh, it's Hongli! What happened?"
Xie Hongli's eyes were slightly red, and her voice trembled as she questioned, "Why?"
"What do you mean, 'why'? What are you talking about? Hongli, are you getting too agitated? What's wrong? What happened?"
"Why? You are Zhao Erdan's biological mother, why did you do this? Aren't you the kindest and best mother?"
We just stopped raising Zhao Dabao and Erbao. What did we do wrong?
Is this how you're going to treat us?
He's your own son!
Zhao's mother then smiled and said, "Hongli, what are you saying, child? Of course I'm Erdan's biological mother!"
Besides, I don't quite understand what you're saying!
What did I do?
"Stop pretending. Didn't you do Erdan's work?"
"Huh? Really? How can you talk such nonsense? I'm his biological mother, how could I harm him!"
Okay, okay, stop causing trouble!
We're still busy at home!
Let's go!
Then, he simply closed the door!
Xie Hongli stared at the tightly closed door! What kind of home is this? What kind of mother is this? Just because her son disobeyed them, she wants to destroy him?
Erdan has already had a tough time and has sacrificed a lot for his family!
What exactly constitutes enough?
Xie Hongli walked along the road, dejected and numb...
"Second sister, what's wrong?"
Xie Meili appeared out of nowhere and wanted to greet her, but found that her second sister was absent-minded!
When Xie Hongli saw her younger sister, she quickly perked up: "Little sister, what's wrong?"
Xie Meili looked at it with surprise, then said, "It's nothing. I only have one class this morning, so I came out for a stroll!"
Second sister, why are you wandering around on the street?
Are you buying groceries?
"Yes, that's right, I'm going to buy groceries... Yes, I'm going to buy groceries. You should hurry back to school, it's not very safe outside!"
Xie Meili said "Oh," and looked thoughtfully at her second sister's back.
My second sister's expression...
Did you suffer another injustice?
If you don't believe me, I have to go back!
Xie Meili borrowed a bicycle from a classmate and sped back!
"Mom...Sister-in-law...Mom...Sister-in-law..."
Wang Guihua went out: "You... what did you come back for? Did you run out of money, or did you get into trouble?"
"Oh dear, Mom, am I the kind of person who causes trouble?"
Xie Meili said with dissatisfaction!
"I saw my second sister on the street! She seemed distracted. I was wondering if she had been wronged again?"
Wang Guihua was taken aback: "This...didn't we just get back?"
Zhou Ye heard the sound and came out too!
Xie Jianshe hadn't returned from the fields yet when Xie Meili grabbed him, saying, "Sister-in-law, what should we do about this?"
"We need to figure out what happened first, right? Your second sister is easily embarrassed; she probably won't come back for help unless it's absolutely necessary!"
Zhou also said.
"That's true! I'll go ask!"
Xie Meili followed suit and rode off on her bicycle again!
Wang Guihua frowned and said, "This... Nizi is like a madwoman!"
Zhou Ye stared thoughtfully at Xie Meili's retreating figure.
At noon, Xie Meili returned with a message...
"I'm back!"
"call……"
He was panting heavily when he said, "I know what happened, brother, you're back too?"
Very good! "
Xie Jianshe frowned and said, "Tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"
Xie Meili rattled off a whole bunch of things!
Believe it or not, she didn't actually go to Xie Hongli to ask, but rather to inquire with the neighbors! And coincidentally, she learned about her second sister's husband's situation!
After hearing this, Wang Guihua was furious: "How...how could this old woman Yu be so vicious!"
How could she treat her own son like this!
I'm so angry!
"How about I go see Hongli and give her some money? Otherwise, what will happen to this family of four?"
Xie Jianshe: "Mom, we need to solve the problem at its root!"
"What?"
"I know what to do, don't worry! I'll take care of it today!"
Zhou Ye: "I'm going too!"
Once they reached the county town, the two parted ways!
Zhou also walked to a familiar place.
"Miss Zhou!"
When Brother Luo saw Zhou Ye, he ran over with a big smile!
"It's been so long since I've seen you! What brings you here?"
Zhou Ye: "Do you have any connections here? I'm looking for a job!"
Brother Luo was taken aback for a moment: "Miss Zhou, what kind of work do you need? I'll just give you the money!"
Has something happened?
"I have some money here, may I give it to you?"
"No need. Are there any factories or shopping malls around here? I'm just arranging a job for a relative!"
Male, hardworking and reliable, graduated from high school, educated!
"That's great! I have a brother who works at a steel factory, and I recently heard that they're hiring an accountant."
This is the best offer, but it requires passing an exam!
This is the best job I've ever had!
If that doesn't work out, I also have a security guard job at our mall! The pay is a bit lower!
But make it easier!
"Oh, right, there's also a cleaning job at the steel mill, but it's more suitable for women!"
Although it's a permanent position, the monthly salary is only nineteen yuan! That's far too little for a man!
Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Okay, keep both of these jobs for me! As for this relative, there's something going on at home. If someone asks for his services, can you guarantee the job security?"
Brother Luo immediately understood: "Don't worry, no problem! Once you're on the job, you absolutely won't be let go!"
"good!"
After taking a few steps, he turned back to look at Brother Luo: "Are you short of food?"
Brother Luo was instantly overjoyed!
This year there is a severe shortage of food; how could there not be?
"Out of stock! Do you have any?"
"Clear out your warehouse in a bit, and I'll send you 10,000 catties of grain before I go back! Remember, no one needs to guard it! Give me the key!"
Brother Luo quickly handed over a key!
"Okay! Whatever you say! I'll wait for you at the steel mill gate tomorrow morning regarding the work!"
"good!"
Zhou also finished his business and met up with Xie Jianshe!
What did you go to do?
Zhou asked curiously.
Xie Jianshe laughed and said, "An eye for an eye! Zhao Erdan's father was forced to retire due to illness! He hasn't reached retirement age yet, so his pension is much less!"
Such a person can't make any contributions in their position, so it's better to give it to a younger person!
"That woman has been reassigned! Her salary has been halved!"
Zhou also knew that he couldn't go too far, otherwise he would get entangled with Zhao Erdan again!
"Next, it's time to talk about my second sister and brother-in-law's jobs!"
Xie Jianshe said.
To everyone's surprise, Zhou also laughed and said, "I've already made arrangements. I'll be taking my second sister and brother-in-law to the steel factory tomorrow!"
Xie Jianshe looked at Zhou Ye with gratitude!
Zhou Ye and Xie Jianshe had no time to concern themselves with how the Zhao family had fallen into chaos!
Zhao Erdan spent half the day looking for work yesterday, but couldn't find anything suitable! He's made up his mind to do manual labor!
Although it's tiring and there's no job security, at least I get a salary of ten-odd yuan a month! That's some consolation!
"Hongli, I'm going to work now!"
Xie Hongli felt extremely distressed: "What kind of job is that? Let's think of another way. Wouldn't it be better to find a job? You went to high school and you're educated!"
How could you do those things?
Zhao Erdan chuckled and said heartily, "What's wrong with that? A grown man can do manual labor all the time!"
I'm off to get busy!
"Brother-in-law, are you going to work?"
Xie Jianshe had just entered the compound when he asked!
Zhao Erdan and his wife's expressions changed, and Zhao Erdan said awkwardly, "Yes, I'm going to work now!"
Why are you here so early in the morning?
Zhou Ye and Xie Jianshe exchanged a glance and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes!
"Second sister, we know!"
Zhou Ye said softly!
Xie Hongli's eyes immediately welled up with tears!
Zhao Erdan quickly said, "Actually, it's nothing serious. He's just a temporary worker anyway! It doesn't matter!"
"I can still earn money! I'm going to work now, aren't I?"
Zhou Ye asked with a smile, "Brother-in-law, I have a job offer here, but I don't know if you'd be interested?"
"What?"
Zhao Erdan looked at Zhou Ye with surprise and delight!
It's understandable that he's in a hurry. The house he's currently living in was temporarily provided by the factory. It was already mentioned yesterday that he only has one month to move!
If they don't have the money to rent a house, they will have to sleep on the streets!
Zhou Ye laughed and said, "Don't go, don't say anything!"
"well!"
Xie Hongli smiled: "Erdan, if it's suitable, you must do your best!"
"Why!"
Zhou Ye smiled and said to Xie Hongli, "Second Sister, you should come along too!"
Xie Hongli pointed at herself incredulously: "Me? Me?"
"Yes, let's go take a look!"
"Okay!"
Xie Hongli never expected that she would be offered a job!
When we arrived at the steel mill, Brother Luo was already waiting at the entrance!
"Comrade Zhou...comrade Zhou, please come with me!"
Upon arriving at the office, the staff briefly inquired about the situation and then gave him a separate set of questions: "Zhao Erdan, although you are a high school student, you are an educated person!"
But we still have to take the exam!
After all, the job you're going to do isn't your average job! Wow! The benefits and compensation for an accountant are excellent!
Zhao Erdan nodded immediately and followed the others to take the exam!
The exams are very rigorous, including both written and oral tests!
A decision can be made on the same day!
Then the staff member came back and said to Brother Luo, "Brother Luo, you also mentioned there was a position for a woman. Who was it for?"
Brother Luo didn't dare to show off in front of Zhou Ye. He chuckled, pointed at Xie Hongli, and said to Zhou Ye, "Comrade Zhou, is this her?"
"right!"
"Me?" Xie Hongli was stunned!
Zhou also said with a smile: "That's right, now that Xiao Shitou and Honghong are in school, there happens to be a cleaning job in this factory, and it's a permanent one!"
Try it in a bit and see if it works.
After asking a few questions, the staff immediately decided: "He's a perfect fit for our position; he's young, reliable, and capable!"
They're literate and cultured!
Do you think a monthly salary of nineteen yuan is acceptable?
"Yes, yes..."
Xie Hongli almost cried tears of joy!
She works with Erdan, and they can earn at least thirty yuan a month. Their family's life will definitely get better and better!
The staff immediately started entering Xie Hongli's information into her file!
Starting today, Xie Hongli is officially employed! You know, finding a cleaning job these days isn't easy!
She only gets her turn because she has connections and influence!
Xie Hongli knew it in her heart!
At this point, she already regarded Zhou Ye as her benefactor.
Xie Hongli came out of the office carrying two brand-new sets of work clothes, sturdy and durable! She even saved herself the trouble of buying new clothes!
Her hands were trembling with excitement!
"Xiaoye..."
"Hmm, very good! This garment looks sturdy!"
"Pfft..." Xie Hongli was so happy she almost cried!
The job of a cleaner doesn't pay very well; it's even about the same as other temporary jobs!
But the hours are flexible! Once you've finished cleaning your area, you can do your own thing!
Of course, I have to be on duty most of the time, but I can still pick up and drop off some children!
So it's very convenient for Xie Hongli!
This is the best job I could find right now!
If a suitable one comes along later, we can change it again!
Several people waited in the steel plant office. An hour later, Zhao Erdan also came out!
He just looked incredibly nervous!
"How about it?"
Xie Hongli asked anxiously!
"I answered all the questions I was asked! I just don't know the result!"
Although Zhao Erdan was confident, he was also a little worried!
In reality, many times, we are defeated by circumstances and connections!
Many people don't know that steel mills are hiring, and even if they do, they may not be educated enough to pass the exam!
Zhao Erdan just happened to be there!
The staff returned shortly afterward!
He said with a smile, "Congratulations, Comrade Zhao, your results are excellent! They meet our standards perfectly!"
"Would you like to come with me to complete the onboarding procedures?"
"Really? I passed the exam?"
"Yes, welcome to our steel mill!"
The staff were very welcoming; after all, an accountant in a factory is highly sought after!
Zhao Erdan has always been good at math, which is why his older brother got his job. However, he didn't achieve much later on, so his talent was wasted.
I never expected to actually encounter such an opportunity!
That's wonderful!
After completing the formalities, it was noon, and Zhao Erdan was overjoyed! He insisted on treating Zhou Ye and Xie Jianshe to lunch!
"How about we go to a state-run restaurant? I'll be starting work tomorrow, and I can eat in the cafeteria from now on. You don't need to be frugal with me!"
Walk! "
Zhou knew he was genuinely grateful!
"good!"
Zhao Erdan was generous and ordered a large portion of meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and four servings of noodles!
He was genuinely grateful. He knew that if it weren't for his sister-in-law Zhou Ye and her friends, he wouldn't have gotten this job!
But my sister-in-law's friend left very early!
"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry, I haven't had a chance to thank your friend yet!"
"It's okay, I'll tell him your gratitude! You got this job because of your own ability!"
Just work hard from now on and treat your second sister well!
This is Zhou Ye's reminder.
Zhao Erdan understood Zhou Ye's meaning, of course. If it weren't for Hong Li's sake, he wouldn't have had such an opportunity!
"I understand! I understand!"
He's not a pretentious person; he knows who is truly good to him!
I'm going to work tomorrow. My monthly salary is thirty-six yuan, and it will increase by two yuan every year, which means it will be thirty-eight yuan in the second year and forty yuan in the third year...
If it's ten years...
He dared not even think about it!
In addition, there are 20 jin of coupons, 2 jin of sugar coupons, 2 bath coupons, and 2 cloth coupons every month!
There are also subsidies during holidays!
The cafeteria is free for internal staff!
From then on, he and Hongli would have free meals every day, and they could take their meals home and eat with the children!
Of course, if you want more than you need, you can only buy it with money!
These are all internal prices, very cheap!
Moreover, in the first year, you can live in the company dormitory, although it's only about 20 square meters! But the rent for the whole year is only five yuan!
If you're lucky enough to get a house, that's true happiness!
The house has already been handed over with the keys, but it needs to be tidied up a bit before we can move in!
This location is great, it's very close to the school. It's almost a two-minute walk!
My initial joy turned to gloom as I arrived at my doorstep!
"Mom and Dad, the boss?"
Besides Zhao's father and mother, the factory leaders also came!
Zhao Erdan suddenly had a bad feeling!
The two children were standing at the door, sobbing softly.
We ate lunch a little after 11 a.m., and it's only a little past 12 p.m. now, which is exactly when the children are coming home.
The couple even packed food for their child!
I wanted to let the children try the food from a state-run restaurant!
Unexpectedly...
"Red? Little Stone?"
"Mom...they won't let us in!"
Little Stone cried in grievance!
Xie Hongli glared at Zhao's mother with hatred: "Mom, what exactly do you mean? They are your grandsons and granddaughters too!"
Zhao's mother laughed and said, "Oh, Hongli, don't you know who I am? I just heard that the boss is going to take the house back, so I came to check!"
How could you misunderstand me like that?
"I was worried about you too!"
"Yes, how can you talk like that? This is your mother-in-law!"
Xie Hongli sneered: "Is that so?"
"you……"
Zhao Erdan stepped forward and asked, "Boss, what brings you here today? Didn't we agree that we could stay for another month?"
"Well... that's what we were going to say, but we have a new employee at the company, and we don't have enough housing. We can't leave him homeless, so you, who doesn't have a job, can stay here!"
Not suitable!
You should move out today! We need to change the locks!
Zhao Erdan sighed deeply: "Alright! Let's move!"
Zhao's father sighed, stepped forward and patted Zhao Erdan on the shoulder: "Son, I know you've had a tough time!"
So, you move into the house.
There's still one room left in the house for you!
"It also allows me to take care of your nephews!"
Zhao Erdan suddenly looked up at his father, his heart filled with pain and sorrow!
For the first time, I felt hatred in my heart!
"No need! Isn't all of this what you wanted first? Now, are you satisfied?"
Zhao's father glared at him: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Whether it's nonsense or not, you know in your hearts! Mom and Dad, don't ruin the last bit of kindness we have left!"
I can be your son, or I can be your enemy!
"What can you do if I don't take care of you in your old age?"
"What did you say?"
Zhao's mother took a few steps back, her face pale!
Did I really anger my son?
