Seeing that his mother couldn't help but get involved again, Niu Dazhi reminded her: "Don't butt in. This is not our family's business."
Aunt Jiang snorted, "Why? I have a strong sense of justice. Isn't it wrong for me to stand up for Jiang Xun?"
Zhao Xingmei cursed Aunt Jiang in her heart: You old thing! My son doesn't want you to fight for justice!
She cursed in her heart but didn't say it out loud.
The problem with her eldest son was tricky, and it was good enough if it could be solved. She didn't want to create any more trouble now.
"The matter is very clear..." Aunt Liang paused here, sighed and said to Huang Xiuxiu, "Your husband died early, and you had a hard life. Our neighbors know it. You made some mistakes, and we all turned a blind eye to it, but what you did today was not decent!"
"It's not that it's unkind, it's that it's too unkind!" Ye Li stared at Huang Xiuxiu coldly, "You must apologize to our Jiang Xun in front of everyone for what happened today!! Otherwise, we will never be done with this matter!"
"Yes, it's not over yet!" Zhao Xingmei cursed with gnashing teeth, "Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself?"
"How shameless." Aunt Mu curled her lips with a look of disgust, "It would be shameful if such a thing happened in our yard!"
...
...
"Aunt Mu, please watch your choice of words! What do you mean by slut? It's obviously her who wanted to blackmail our Jiang Xun. This is her fault alone!" Zhao Xingmei didn't like to hear this and reminded Aunt Mu unhappily.
Aunt Mu shut up angrily.
"Okay, stop talking and let her apologize!" Aunt Liang signaled everyone to be quiet.
Huang Xiuxiu's face turned red with embarrassment, and she wished she could dig a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
She knew that she had to apologize today, otherwise she would not be able to stay in this yard.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Jiang Xun, Aunt Zhao, Ye Li, please forgive me! This is all my fault. I was confused for a moment and did something stupid. I promise I will never do such a thing again!" Huang Xiuxiu apologized with her eyebrows drooping and sobbing.
Jiang Xun and Ye Li looked at each other.
Seeing the grievance and helplessness in Jiang Xun's eyes, Ye Li couldn't swallow it. "Promise? How much is your promise worth? Huang Xiuxiu, someone testified today to clear my Jiang Xun's name. If Sister Yuelian didn't see it, Jiang Xun would have a hard time defending himself! Although you apologized, this matter can't end like this!"
"What do you want? Sister Ye Li, I was confused for a moment! Please forgive me this time!" Huang Xiuxiu pleaded.
"A moment of confusion? You are going to climb into another man's bed just because you are confused for a moment? I'm sorry, I can't accept it! I'm going to tell the security department of the machinery factory and let them handle this matter!" Ye Li said sternly.
Huang Xiuxiu was horrified and her face turned pale in an instant: "Sister Ye Li, if you do this, I'm done! If I lose my job, who will support my two children? I beg you, please don't do this! Can I kowtow to you? I kowtow and beg you to spare me!"
Ye Li lowered his eyes and looked at her, but was indifferent.
"I was wrong, I was really wrong. My life is miserable... I did this just to blackmail you for some money. I have no other thoughts about Brother Jiang Xun, no... Please, Ye Li, I kowtow to you, please forgive me!"
Huang Xiuxiu banged her head on the ground loudly. Zhao Xingmei didn't feel sorry for her at all, she just felt relieved.
"Xiao Ye, you see, it's really not easy for her. If she loses her job, she will not be able to raise these two children. You see, she has kowtowed and admitted her mistake, and our neighbors in the yard have also testified for you. If she makes this mistake again in the future, send her to the security department, and we will not do anything about it." Aunt Liang was soft-hearted. After all, she couldn't bear to see Huang Xiuxiu lose her job.
In fact, although Ye Li was angry, he didn't intend to make Huang Xiuxiu lose her job.
These days, with food and clothing shortages, life is difficult for every family.
It was indeed difficult for her, a widow, to raise two half-grown boys.
As she said, if she lost her job, she would really have no way to survive.
She hated Huang Xiuxiu's despicable behavior, but she would not force Huang Xiuxiu into a desperate situation.
This person always can't help but sympathize with the weaker party.
Now it seems that Huang Xiuxiu did this kind of thing, everyone hates her and sympathizes with Jiang Xun.
But if she starts making trouble in the security department and causes Huang Xiuxiu to lose her job, who knows how everyone will look at her!
The nature of this matter is quite different from that of Hu Jingjing's case.
For the sake of the future, she couldn't simply blame Huang Xiuxiu for this matter.
After a moment of silence, Ye Li spoke up: "Since Aunt Liang said so, I will not report her to the factory security department for Aunt Liang's sake. But you all saw that it is not easy for her to raise two children as a woman. Is our life easy for Jiang Xun? You think you are working hard, so you put your evil thoughts on us. This time it's over, what if she does it again next time?"
"Then Xiaoye, what do you think we should do?" asked Aunt Liang.
Ye Li said, "Write a letter of guarantee. I require that the letter of guarantee clearly describes what happened today, and then read it out in front of everyone in the hospital! If she agrees, I will not pursue this matter."
"I can write a letter of guarantee, but you want me to read it in front of everyone in the hospital...won't the news get to the factory?"
"What? You dare to do it but you don't dare to take responsibility? You are afraid that this matter will be spread to the factory. I am also afraid that this matter will be spread to the factory. What if it is spread in a distorted way and the reputation of my Jiang Xun is damaged? What should I do?" Ye Li disagreed with everything.
Aunt Liang sighed. A woman's reputation is more important than anything else these days.
If this gets out, it will indeed be bad for Huang Xiuxiu.
Just as Ye Li said, if it was not read out in front of everyone, he was afraid that other people would make random guesses and affect Jiang Xun's reputation.
"Read it." Aunt Liang said, "Huang Xiuxiu, let the gossip spread outside... It's more important to keep your job first."
Huang Xiuxiu agreed with tears in her eyes.
"You, don't be confused next time. Fortunately, the current policy is different from that of previous years. If it were two years ago... don't you think you would be criticized for hanging a sign and throwing rotten eggs at people?" Aunt Liang patted her shoulder and pulled her up from the ground.
"I know. I know."
"Okay, now that the matter has been clarified, let's all go! Let's go!" Aunt Liang signaled for everyone to leave.
It's late at night.
Ye Li had just cleaned up the messy room. She poured a glass of water and handed it to Jiang Xun: "Drink some water."
Jiang Xun took the water with one hand and held Ye Li's hand tightly with the other hand: "Li Li, thank you for believing in me. I did drink too much today, and I didn't expect things to turn out like this."
"Of course I believe you. Today, I am also grateful to Sister Yuelian. One word from her is more trustworthy than ten words from you and me." Ye Li said tiredly, "I have to go and thank her tomorrow."
Jiang Xun drank the water in the cup in one breath, raised his hand to hug Ye Li into his arms, bent down and kissed her forehead: "Li Li, I made you work hard..."
"What are you talking about? What do you mean you made me work hard? Jiang Xun, don't ever say that again! I did it for you, and even more for myself!" Ye Li nestled in Jiang Xun's arms, staring out the window with a determined look, "Today's incident was an accident. We just need to be on guard against Huang Xiuxiu in the future. Jiang Xun, I brought back good news. We will be able to save enough money soon. If everything goes well, you'll have your surgery this fall."
Jiang Xun's heart was pounding and he felt like the blood in his body was boiling.
In the past few years, he has become completely disheartened and has long given up any hope for his legs.
But in just these few short months, he was aroused by Ye Li.
Because of Ye Li, he couldn't wait to stand up first, wanting to love her well and write a new chapter for their new life.
"Li Li, do you think I can still stand up?"
"Yes! You can!" Ye Li said very affirmatively.
In your previous life, you were not only able to stand up, but you could also walk very fast.
Jiang Xun nodded heavily.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about it because of the bad things that happened tonight." Ye Li struggled out of Jiang Xun's arms.
"What?"
Ye Li said with a smile: "Let me show you what I gained today!"
