Chapter 180: Courting Death
He Mingcheng sighed and said, "Alas... I thought my precious daughter-in-law was lost."
He pouted, looking aggrieved.
Chen Yi was too lazy to watch his acting, so she turned around and went into the house. She was already hungry.
I was busy with the piglets just now, and then I went into the space again, going back and forth. Wouldn’t I be hungry?
Fortunately, He Mingcheng had already prepared the meal, and the two of them talked while eating.
We usually don’t see each other during the day, and only communicate at night when we get home from get off work.
In the past, we never talked while eating together, but now we don’t want to waste time, and we just want to talk and chat regardless of whether we are eating or not.
"Are you busy with work these days?" He Mingcheng asked.
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Chen Yi looked at him puzzledly and said, "Do you want to take me out to play?"
He Mingcheng shook his head. "What are you doing? I want to take you to buy clothes. Didn't you throw away a lot of clothes last time? You only bought two pieces of clothes that day, which are not enough for you to wear."
He still had his clothes, because he brought a bag of them when he was on a business trip, so he just had to wash them when he got back.
Chen Yi disagreed and said, "No, the season is about to change. I can buy it myself when the time comes."
Seeing that she didn't want to buy it, He Mingcheng didn't say anything and just let it go.
He pulled out a roll of bills from his pocket and said, "This month's salary and bills are all here. Take them."
Chen Yi is in charge of all the money in the family. Apart from pocket money, there is not much money in the family, and all the money is saved in the form of savings certificates in the space.
Chen Yi counted out fifty yuan, and also gave him grain coupons and meat coupons.
A man should have some money on him, right? If he takes out his pockets and finds that they are cleaner than his face, that would be embarrassing.
He Mingcheng was also used to pocket money. He would keep it if given, and put it in the coin box if he couldn't spend it all.
In the next few days, the two of them spent a lot of time together.
Because He Mingcheng was resting and staying at home all day, Chen Yi felt much more relaxed because there was someone caring about her every day.
I don’t know why, but ever since she became pregnant, Chen Yi especially wanted He Mingcheng to be by her side.
Half a month passed unknowingly, and it was mid-May. The weather was getting warmer day by day.
Chen Yi also saw Wang Limei coming back. She heard that she had taken a leave for half a month because of Chen Guoqiang’s incident.
This was told to her by Fang Xiaoli. After all, they were in the same office and were well-informed.
Now that Wang Limei is back, even if Chen Guoqiang hasn't come out yet, he will be here soon.
She had an idea in her mind, and then did nothing.
She couldn't do anything now. She was pregnant. If something serious happened, it would probably threaten her personal safety.
There was no movement from Chen Yi's side, but Wang Limei was already secretly preparing to trip her up.
She has been scolded by Chen Guoqiang a lot in the past few days, mainly because she has been locked up for too long, the five hundred yuan has been spent, and this person has just been released.
Because of this incident, Chen Guoqiang lost his job and had to stay at home forever.
Wang Limei regretted it. She should have taken the money and left. But now that the person was out, she had no way to leave.
"You want to starve me to death, don't you?" Chen Guoqiang threw a wine bottle and smashed it on the ground.
Wang Limei was startled as soon as she entered the door.
It was noon, and she came back from the canteen with food. She rushed to get there, didn't even have her meal, and was scolded when she got back, and was almost hit by a bottle.
She silently put the food on the table.
There are wine bottles all over the table, and it looks like they have been drinking a lot this morning.
Chen Guoqiang kept cursing and was no longer as easy to talk to as before.
At least they could still get along on the surface before, but now they just swear and throw things around.
"What? You don't have to go to work anymore, right?" Chen Guoqiang was furious when he saw her standing there motionless.
Wang Limei pursed her lips and said slowly, "Old Chen, you can't continue like this. You have to find a job."
How can I eat and drink without a job? Even if Chen Guoqiang has a mountain of gold and silver, he can't stop himself from eating without working.
Upon hearing this, Chen Guoqiang got angry and slammed his hand on the table. "Why do you keep complaining about whether I work or not? Even if I don't work, you still have to work! I've supported you three for so many years, so what's wrong with asking you to work?"
"They're pointing at me all day long, and I want to do nothing!"
Wang Limei didn't dare to refute. She regretted it so much in her heart that she shouldn't have cared about Chen Guoqiang.
It’s bad enough that I didn’t make a penny, but I still have to serve this guy, drinking at home all day and ignoring my work.
Isn’t this the return of the entire ancestor?
After leaving Chen's house, she couldn't help but sigh, thought about it, and went back to the unit to find Chen Yi.
"What are you doing?" Chen Yi frowned and looked at her defensively with a bad tone.
Wang Limei was so angry. Both father and daughter were really annoying. How did they find Chen Guoqiang in the first place? They were really fascinated by the surface.
"Your father has been released from prison and he's not working now. You have to take some responsibility, right?" She held back her anger and tried to talk in a friendly and negotiating manner.
Chen Yi smiled when she heard this. "What does it have to do with me if he doesn't work? What am I responsible for? I didn't do anything."
Isn't this just a joke?
You are obviously the victim, yet you still have the nerve to say these things to her.
Wang Limei saw her expression and expected it. "Okay, you decide for yourself."
Having said that, she walked away without looking back.
"Psycho." Chen Yi rolled her eyes and turned away.
However, before the afternoon, Chen Yi was called away by the factory committee.
"Someone reported that your father made a mistake. Are you aware of this?" This was not the first time Director Zhu had dealt with Chen Yi.
But this is true, and it's obvious at first glance that someone is deliberately looking for trouble.
Logically speaking, this matter has nothing to do with Chen Yi, but she still secretly brought it up. Isn't this intentional?
Chen Yi nodded and said, "But I've already married and left that home. I don't know what they are doing now."
Upon hearing this, Director Zhu naturally understood and said, "Be careful."
This was a bit confusing, but Chen Yi knew what he meant, which was that he was being reported too frequently.
There is no need to think about this. It must have been done by Wang Limei. This person is also weird. Isn't she afraid that Chen Guoqiang will implicate herself? They are husband and wife.
Chen Yi was too lazy to pay attention to them. They had no brains at all and were just courting death.
But she was looking for things to do herself, so Chen Yi didn't mind playing with her.
After leaving the factory committee, she returned to the office and took the finished garments to Director Zhang's office.
"Is this a summer outfit?" Zhang Wenhai knew it just by looking at the material.
Compared to short-sleeved shirts, long-sleeved shirts are still quite popular now, mainly because of conservative reasons.
Chen Yi nodded and said, "Director Zhang, I will launch two new models every season. I feel like I can't keep up with the too many."
She had wanted to talk about this before, but she had been so busy that she had forgotten about it.
