Grandma Wang hasn't returned yet, and Grandpa Wang went out for a stroll. As for Wang Xiaofei and Wang Xiaoduo, they went to school after lunch.
Wang Dazhi and Li Xiaoliu jogged all the way to the factory.
The offices of all departments outside the workshops are located in a small courtyard at the front of the factory.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Wang Dazhi saw the crowd gathered together, and his pace quickened.
"I just want my daughter and me to survive, to survive! Director Sui, please save us!" Zhao Qinglan pleaded desperately, clinging to Director Sui's arm.
As soon as Wang Dazhi got closer, he heard all this and couldn't help but roar, "Zhao Qinglan!"
"Oh, Dazhi is here."
"Make way, make way, Director Wang is here."
The crowd immediately made way for them.
Zhao Qinglan's sobbing came to an abrupt halt, and she looked at Wang Dazhi, whose face was also filled with hatred.
After hearing so much from Zhao Qinglan, those present looked at Wang Dazhi with strange expressions.
"Have you lost your mind? Why aren't you staying in the hospital? What are you doing running around the factory like this?" Wang Dazhi felt incredibly embarrassed.
Just as Zhao Qinglan knew, Wang Dazhi valued his reputation the most. Now that he was being looked at like this by his colleagues of many years, he hated Zhao Qinglan with a vengeance.
"The main character has arrived, and the real show is about to begin," Zhao Qinglan said jokingly, suppressing her resentment.
Patting her daughter, who was hiccuping from crying because of her, she retorted, "Don't you know why I'm not staying peacefully in the hospital?"
Wang Dazhi felt inexplicably guilty when he thought of his mother, whom he had sent away to ask for money.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Even though he felt guilty, Wang Dazhi pretended not to know.
"Ha, I've been married into the Wang family for the past few years. Even if I haven't done anything outstanding, I've certainly put in a lot of hard work. Why did I end up in the hospital? Didn't the doctor explain?"
"That was just an accident," Wang Dazhi explained, his neck stiff.
"An accident?" Zhao Qinglan sneered.
"Were malnutrition and overwork accidental?"
"You old hag, who told you not to take care of yourself by eating, drinking and resting? You didn't even have time to worry about yourself and ended up in the hospital. I haven't even said anything about how you've caused trouble for the family yet," Wang Dazhi said shamelessly.
These words were jarring to anyone with a conscience present; after all, this was your wife.
Look, look, this is the ex-husband she served for thirty years without ever seeing him. Zhao Qinglan only regrets that she was blind before.
Even though he tried his best to disguise it, Wang Dazhi still revealed some of his true nature in front of everyone when he got excited.
Looking at the sympathetic or surprised expressions on the faces of those around her, Zhao Qinglan silently said, "That's not enough. This alone is not enough."
Just then, an unexpected "help" arrived.
"You heartless bastard, are you crazy? Running around causing trouble at Dazhi Factory, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Old Lady Wang with bound feet finally arrived.
A sharp glint flashed in Zhao Qinglan's eyes as she saw Old Lady Wang appear.
Just as Wang Dazhi realized what was happening and was about to stop them, Old Lady Wang rushed inside.
She rushed up to Zhao Qinglan and started fighting.
The person who had previously been unyielding towards Old Lady Wang at the hospital now appeared helpless and weak, letting her do whatever she wanted.
No one saw the hatred hidden behind Zhao Qinglan's disheveled hair.
"Bear with it, just bear with it a little longer. Once we're out of this mess, I'll settle accounts with them one by one," Zhao Qinglan thought, digging her fingernails into her palm.
"Mom, Mom, what are you doing? Let go!" Wang Dazhi rushed forward to pull the person away.
Nearby, Director Sui, realizing what was happening, rushed forward as well. "What are you doing? What are you doing?"
The helpless woman who was seeking help was beaten right under her nose. Director Sui felt that Wang Dazhi and his mother were too arrogant and did not respect her, the women's director, at all.
With the arrival of Wang Dazhi, Director Sui, and others, Old Lady Wang was finally pulled down.
Even as she was being beaten, Zhao Qinglan held her daughter tightly behind her.
Looking at Zhao Qinglan now, she was truly pitiful to behold.
Her face was scratched many times by Old Lady Wang, and her hair was all disheveled. She could only hold her terrified daughter tightly, crying and trembling.
"Why are you pulling me? I'm going to teach this old hag a lesson today. Oh, and where are the money and tickets? Give them to me right now."
Even now, Old Lady Wang has not forgotten what happened before.
"Mother, I am also a daughter-in-law of the Wang family. Why can't I use those money notes?" Zhao Qinglan asked, tears streaming down her face.
"Keep dreaming! Those are all from the Wang family, what does it have to do with you, you old hag?" Old Mrs. Wang said angrily, still jumping up and down despite being stopped.
"Mom, can you please stop making things worse?" Wang Dazhi was furious.
"Then why did you marry me into the Wang family? Wasn't it to make me the mistress of the Wang family?" Zhao Qinglan asked deliberately.
Upon hearing the name of the Wang family's matriarch, Old Mrs. Wang felt as if her heart had been pierced, and she flew into a rage.
"Bullshit! We married you to be our Wang family's slave. You dream on, wanting to be the mistress of the house."
Upon hearing this, Wang Dazhi's eyes widened in surprise. How could his mother speak the truth like that?
"Mom, can you shut up!" Wang Dazhi's outburst startled Old Mrs. Wang.
Those present were starting to lose their patience, and they began to look at Wang Dazhi with disdain.
Although everyone knows that the original purpose of marrying a wife is to have her bear children, manage the household, and take care of the elderly, to actually treat her like a beast of burden and then say it out loud shows how heartless the Wang family is.
Once you marry a woman into the family, you'll develop feelings for her over time; she's family now.
How come you've actually decided to treat her like a slave? Is she your wife or a former servant of a wealthy landlord?
Even servants at least get paid, but Zhao Qinglan is free.
