Chapter 73: The First Step to Ruining the Work
Aunt Zhang wanted to turn around and leave.
"Auntie Liu, is there anything I can help you with?" Yang Aihua greeted her politely.
"Heh." Aunt Liu didn't say anything, but just responded with a unhappy expression.
"How about we go inside and talk?" Yang Aihua went to open the door.
Their house only has a fence gate, which seems to fall apart with a slight push, and the padlock hanging in the middle is useless.
Seeing the door open, Aunt Liu remained motionless and reached out directly to Aunt Zhang.
"money."
Just one hard word came down, and no one else knew what happened, but Aunt Zhang knew it well.
There's a high probability that I was discovered stealing dried sweet potatoes this morning.
Aunt Zhang looked around, and suddenly her face was embarrassed.
She wanted to give money, but then she thought, how much are a few pieces of dried sweet potatoes worth?
"I don't have any money." Aunt Zhang simply shrank her neck and acted like a rogue.
"Okay, you don't have money." Without saying a word, the old lady walked into the Zhang family's house with her small feet trembling.
She walked straight to Zhang's stove and lifted the big iron pot down!
"Auntie Liu!" Yang Aihua was anxious. "What are you doing? How did our family offend you? You took away our iron pot. How are we going to cook in the future?"
The most valuable thing in her house is this pot.
Aunt Liu walked out with the pot in her arms, and it was difficult for her to walk, but no one in the Zhang family dared to try to snatch it away.
This person is nothing more than a master at scamming people. Because of her small feet, she walks unsteadily. If you dare to touch her, she will fall on you and not get up, or lie on the head of your kang and won't move!
She is a widow who raised five sons. She is extremely shameless, so even an unreasonable person like Zhang Ma is afraid of her when she sees her. She knows that she is no match for her. She still has her dignity, but she doesn't, so she has the upper hand.
"I'll give you money! I'll give you money!" Aunt Zhang compromised and reached into her pocket with a distressed look on her face.
Aunt Liu held up a finger and said, "One dollar!"
"Just a few pieces of dried sweet potatoes, and you want one dollar from me! Why don't you just rob me?" Aunt Zhang counted the money with saliva, rolled her eyes, and glared at Aunt Liu fiercely.
Aunt Liu didn't argue, picked up the pot and was about to leave.
"Okay, okay! Okay! Okay!" Aunt Zhang stopped him and stuffed the money in helplessly.
"Take it!"
She closed her eyes, not wanting to see the painful scene of her money being taken away by others.
Aunt Liu took the money and looked at Aunt Zhang coldly, "Don't be a thief anymore."
After saying that, she spread her three-inch golden lotus feet and walked forward with a hunched back.
Zhang Ma's breath caught in her throat. "You, you, you are the thief!"
Yang Aihua looked at her and asked, "What did you steal?"
"It's just a piece of dried sweet potato! That's stealing! We're just neighbors, so why not just treat it as a gift?"
Aunt Zhang was full of resentment and spat at Aunt Liu's back.
"You filthy bastard who eats at a hundred houses!"
Yang Aihua felt a pang in her heart after being scolded.
Aunt Liu was a widow with a bad reputation. There were many rumors that any man could knock on her door and enter her house.
As long as the person comes with something, it's fine. It can be a few steamed buns, two taels of meat, or rice, flour, grain and oil. Anything that can raise the baby will be fine.
So people always say that her child grew up eating food from hundreds of families, and she is a thing that thousands of people ride on.
It's just a rumor, no one can confirm it, but the rumor spread like wildfire and no one cared to determine its truth.
Yang Aihua felt sad. She thought of herself. If Guoliang died and Guodong didn't take his place, she would be the one left as a widow.
Would she also spread some unpleasant words?
Yang Aihua immediately felt lucky again. Fortunately, Zhang Guodong loved her and wanted to protect her.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to remarry with the child, and she would become a widow with the reputation of being a jinx.
"Hurry up and prepare something to eat. I'll go to work soon." Aunt Zhang held her breath and sat down on the head of the kang, fanning herself vigorously with her hands.
Yang Aihua had no choice but to use the remaining money to buy rice and vegetables.
Seeing Yang Aihua leave the door, Zhang Ma stretched her neck to look again. After confirming that Yang Aihua had gone far away, she pulled Zhang Guodong over and asked, "Tell me the truth, do you have any money on hand?"
"Didn't you say you had a few boxes of stuff stored in the bank?"
Seeing that there was no hope of returning to the Lin Mansion, he could only place his hopes on Zhang Guodong.
Look at this shabby house. It’s so hot that people sweat as soon as they enter the house. She even has prickly heat!
If she had money, she would first sell her big house, then buy dozens of kilograms of meat and eat as much as she wanted.
Zhang Guodong's eyes moved, as if he was trying hard to recall something.
"Probably." Zhang Guodong's mind was still a little confused because he had undergone electric shock therapy.
"But without Zhang Guodong's ID, I can't produce it."
Lin Wanqing burned all of Zhang Guodong's belongings, and the boxes of things that were placed in the bank could not be taken out at all.
"Why don't we find someone to make a fake one, or just apply for a new one?" Aunt Zhang narrowed her eyes and had an idea.
These days the inspection in this area is not strict, so you can ask someone to get it done.
Mother Zhang thought about it and even knew who to look for.
"Don't tell Aihua about this. Let's do this secretly, okay?" Aunt Zhang's eyes had been secretly glancing at the movements outside. Seeing Yang Aihua coming back, she gave Zhang Guodong a look, meaning to end the topic there and then.
Zhang Guodong sat there blankly, not knowing whether he had heard it or not.
After buying the vegetables, Yang Aihua hurriedly started cooking. After finishing her work, she was left with no energy left.
Aunt Zhang watched comfortably from the side, and as soon as the meal was cooked, she served it on the table without waiting for anyone to come.
Yang Aihua was so angry that she kept rolling her eyes.
After taking so many days off, she really couldn't take any more. Mother Zhang planned to pack up her things and go to the street office to report for work.
But when she walked into the street office, she saw Lin Wanqing.
Chen Fenglan took her hand, and the two of them walked into her private office affectionately.
Aunt Zhang looked at the door furtively for a long time, muttering to herself.
What is Lin Wanqing doing here?
In order to welcome the arrival of Soviet experts, the factory hopes that the comrades from the street office will work together to make the welcome ceremony on that day more lively.
Lin Wanqing came here, firstly to convey the message on behalf of the factory, and secondly to provide guidance, teaching them to speak some Russian and write some welcome banners in Russian to express the factory and even the country's attention to them.
Of course Chen Fenglan fully supports it, this is the most important thing at the moment.
The two communicated with each other, confirmed some details, and then started chatting about family matters.
Chen Fenglan knew that Lin Wanqing had been going through a lot of ups and downs and was at the center of public opinion every day, and she felt sorry for her.
"If you need anything in the future, just tell me." Chen Fenglan treated Lin Wanqing as her own and never hid anything when speaking to her.
Lin Wanqing actually had some other ideas when she came this time.
"I'd like you to delegate the purchase of promotional items like cardboard boxes, banners, and wreaths to my mother-in-law."
Chen Fenglan frowned slightly, "There are many ways to do this."
Lin Wanqing nodded and smiled, "I know, that's why I hope you can assign this job to her."
"Then I'll keep my eyes on her the whole time."
Chen Fenglan smiled knowingly, "I understand."
"But we must know when to stop and take the overall situation into consideration."
Lin Wanqing nodded, "I know, it won't affect the welcome ceremony."
The two chatted for a while, and then Chen Fenglan took Lin Wanqing out.
And distributed the tasks.
Aunt Zhang's brows immediately lit up with joy.
Purchasing items is a lucrative job that is fought over through personal struggle!
