Chapter 108: If you can’t even protect your own wife, what else can you be but a bastard and a coward?
After Jiang Jinzhou calmed down, Liang Xiulan covered him with a blanket and left, returning to the printing factory dormitory.
Jiang Jinzhou had another dream all night.
He dreamed that Liang Xiulan risked her life to give birth to two sons for him.
He dreamed of Liang Xiulan's tears dripping into a bowl during her confinement.
He dreamed that he was drinking and playing cards with a group of friends, and Liang Xiulan left silently.
Disappointed, sad, and finally kicked him out of the bedroom...
Suddenly, he heard a snapping sound next to his ears and felt a little pain on his face.
Liang Xiulan's figure disappeared from the dream. When she opened her eyes, she saw Hu Dabiao's bearded and curious face.
"Did you have a nightmare? Were you bitten by a dog? Or did you dream of a female ghost sucking your yang energy?"
"Look how scared you are, you're even crying. This is all you can do as a grown man."
He stood up with a look of disgust on his face: "Get up and work! Hurry up, I'll give you a break."
After saying that, he rubbed his hands and turned to leave.
Jiang Jinzhou covered his face and looked at his hands in thought.
Was it him who slapped me just now?
I lowered my head and caught a glimpse of tear marks on the pillow from the corner of my eye, recalling the dream I had last night.
He felt really depressed. He even developed a sense of guilt in his heart and felt more and more sorry for Liang Xiulan.
If this dream is true, then he must have been a bastard and a coward in his previous life.
He can't even protect his own wife, and yet he joins others in bullying his wife. What kind of a bastard is he if not a coward?
Follow Hu Dabiao to the fertilizer factory and report to the foreman.
He originally thought that it would cost 2 cents to load a bag and 2 cents to unload a bag, so loading and unloading would cost 4 cents.
This job is quite lucrative.
But later I found out that it only cost two cents for installation and removal.
Moreover, two people are responsible for one vehicle, running behind the wheel. Loading and unloading are both people's jobs, so they have to share the work!
The older brother who brought him here was nearly forty years old.
On the way, he kept asking about his relationship with Hu Dabiao.
Jiang Jinzhou simply explained: "We are just friends."
Friends? Hu Dabiao was a notorious bully who had become a manager within a month of joining the factory. If he could be friends with someone like him, he must be no pushover.
"Why don't you find a real job?"
Jiang Jinzhou was suspicious: "Is this job not legitimate?"
"No, I mean you young people should find a decent job that's not too tiring. Isn't that machinery factory hiring skilled workers recently? Why don't you go work there?"
"I heard the job is pretty easy, just debugging the machines, and the salary is pretty good, over 60 yuan a month."
Jiang Jinzhou: “…”
Why do older people talk so much?
He came from that factory, and they were recruiting for the same position he had worked for before!
It's been over a week, and he still hasn't found a suitable technician. Serves him right! I hope he never finds one!
"I don't want to go to the machinery factory, I just like moving fertilizer!"
He turned his face away in a huff.
Seeing that he was not easy to get along with, the man stopped talking to him.
Those who are on the same page with Hu Dabiao are not easy to get along with.
Lilac Street
Liang Xiulan pondered over the drawing she had drawn, then took a ruler to measure and mark the dimensions.
After confirming that everything was correct, he put the notebook away and put it in his pocket.
The floor tiles were left over from before, and they don’t look very nice, but once the cabinets and other things are put up, they don’t show up much anymore, so there’s no need to replace them.
Ride a tricycle to the building materials market to purchase metal materials for shelves and paint for walls.
He put it back in the shop, locked the door, and rode his bike home.
Liu Guizhi has almost recovered and can do some simple work on the ground.
But Liang Jianguo didn't let her do anything.
"Can't you just lie in bed and rest? That work will never be finished!"
"Just take a month off and don't cause any more trouble, okay? If you don't recover well and develop a chronic illness, it'll be too late to regret it!"
"I'll pour you some water, and put some steamed buns and sweet potatoes by your bed. What else do you want?"
Liu Guizhi waved her hands at him impatiently: "No, hurry up and leave, the sun will set soon."
"Okay, then don't get up to sweep the floor anymore! I'll sweep it when you come back!"
"Well, go ahead, I won't sweep."
Liang Jianguo sighed deeply, feeling uneasy, but the work in the fields was not yet finished, so he had no choice but to carry his hoe and go to the fields.
Not long after Liang Jianguo left, Liu Guizhi got out of bed.
After eating a sweet potato, I went to the chicken coop to pick up eggs and sweep up chicken manure.
Liang Xiujuan reminded him while chewing a sweet potato.
"Didn't my dad tell you not to do that? Why aren't you listening?"
While sweeping the chicken manure, Liu Guizhi said, "Your dad can't finish all this by himself, and you're so lazy, just eating at home. If I don't do it, who will?"
Oh well! She kindly reminded me, but ended up getting shot.
Liang Jianguo repeatedly told her to have a good rest, otherwise she would develop a chronic illness and really be unable to work.
In order to achieve long-term development, Liang Xiujuan swallowed the sweet potato in her hand in a few bites, opened the chicken coop and walked in.
"Okay, go and take a rest. Can't I do it?"
He took the broom from her hand and swept the chicken manure while pinching his nose.
Liu Guizhi smiled secretly, walked out of the chicken coop and stood outside as a supervisor.
"There's still some in that corner, sweep it clean."
"Hey...it's about to lay eggs, it's about to lay eggs, don't move, don't scare it!"
Liang Xiujuan quickly stepped aside, watched the hen lay eggs, handed the hot eggs to Liu Guizhi, and then continued to work.
When Liang Xiulan returned home, she saw Liang Xiujuan working in the chicken coop.
A little surprised: "This is really the first time in history."
When the two heard the sound, they both looked towards the door.
Liang Xiujuan pouted and said, "Dad told her not to do it, but she insisted on doing it, and even played tricks on me!"
Liu Guizhi came over with the hot eggs and said, "Look, that chicken laid two eggs today."
The mother and her two daughters chatted for a while, and Liang Xiulan took out the picture she had drawn.
"This is the shop design I made. When my dad comes back, tell him to find someone to make a few cabinets for me."
"Oh...what is this?" Liu Guizhi asked, pointing at the horizontal and vertical lines.
Liang Xiulan said, "That's an iron rack on the wall, used to display sample tables."
"Iron? Does that require welding? It seems like there's no one in our village who knows how to weld."
"It's okay, Jiang Jinzhou will!"
Liang Xiujuan interrupted at the right time: "Huh? What a coincidence, that can save us some money."
Liu Guizhi and Liang Xiulan rolled their eyes at her at the same time: "Tsk!"
Some things are just for knowing, why do you have to make it clear? Too much talk!
Liu Guizhi's smile faded slightly. She pulled Liang Xiulan aside and said in a deep voice, "I heard that Jiang Jinzhou was fired from the factory. Did you know about this?"
"Yes, I know. He is working at the fertilizer factory now."
"Why did he go to the fertilizer factory? Could it be that he knows the technology there?"
"No, he works as a stevedore."
"What? A stevedore? So he can do it?"
"That's better than just resting at home. It's his business, so let's not worry about it."
Liang Xiulan walked back to the house, and Liu Guizhi followed.
He continued, "What's his business? Are you two not together? Why are you so different from each other?"
