Chapter 131: Cleaning the Toilet for a Week
He Zhengdong already knew he was wrong, and his lips moved, but he couldn't say the three words "I'm sorry".
Jiang Yu shook his head, "Grandpa Duan, if my child is wrong, we can teach him behind closed doors, but how to deal with Aunt Xu's matter, please give me a rule."
Xu Lihua immediately retorted: "What does it have to do with me?"
"Yes, what does it have to do with you? It's your turn to interfere in my family's affairs? Zhengdong and Lilan are so young, they are not living well and have no sense of security, and you are still instigating them in front of them. If the child is upset and something happens to him, will you be responsible?" He Feiyan sneered back.
Lin Donghua nodded repeatedly and criticized: "Aunt Xu, you keep making up rumors, saying that Jiang Yu abused the martyrs' families. In fact, it was you who abused Zhengdong and Lilan! They are young and easily led astray. If a few words from you lead the children astray, what will you compensate them for?"
Grandmother Sun frowned, "Old Xu, you really shouldn't have done that."
Lin Hongxia didn't say anything, just watching the excitement from the side.
Old Master Duan said: "Xu Lihua, this is not the first time. If we don't teach you a lesson this time, our compound won't tolerate you!"
Lin Rui, who had always been invisible in the compound, spoke for the first time.
"Master Duan, just say it, my mother accepts the punishment."
Xu Lihua was furious and slapped him subconsciously, but was stopped by Duan Jianren who was following Master Duan to watch the excitement.
"Aunt Xu, it's fine if you don't admit your mistakes, but why did you hit her!"
Xu Lihua scolded angrily: "She helped outsiders to hold me back, of course she deserves to be beaten! You two, one by one, watched my husband and son die, and you want to bully me, no way!"
Master Duan's face became uglier and uglier. He had never seen such a shameless person, not only did he not admit his mistakes, but he also blamed others!
"It's because your husband is gone and everyone feels sorry for you that they've tolerated you to this point! If you make a mistake and don't admit your punishment, then what rules do we have in our compound? Will our compound still have a share in future evaluations of advanced performance?"
Lin Rui's eyes were red with grievance, and she advised earnestly, "Mom, you were indeed wrong in this matter. You admit your mistakes and can correct them. We've been neighbors in the compound for so many years, no one will take it to heart."
Seeing that Xu Lihua still refused to admit her mistake, Old Man Duan used his trump card, "The factory has already mentioned that you and your family of three should move out. Since you refuse to admit your mistake, our compound can't accommodate you." Xu Lihua and
her family of three did not work in the second factory, so the factory said it would take back the house and let them move to Lin Rui's school teacher dormitory.
But having lived here for many years, Xu Lihua was not willing to move. She cried and howled at the factory gate for several days.
With the help of people from the compound, the factory finally agreed.
When she heard what Mr. Duan said, she was naturally panicked.
"Hey, Mr. Duan, why are you so serious? We have been neighbors for so many years. Everyone knows that I am just a good talker. I have no bad intentions."
Xu Lihua pretended to know her mistakes and slapped herself lightly a few times.
"I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. There won't be a next time. OK?"
Mr. Duan nodded, and his serious expression relaxed a little.
"Since you have admitted your fault, you have to be punished. It just so happens that Ma Pozi, the toilet cleaner, is sick, so you can clean the toilet for her for a week. What do you think?"
Fortunately, the weather is not hot now, otherwise the toilets would not be cleaned for a few days, and the whole alley would be smelly.
Someone cleaning the toilets will benefit the people in the whole alley, and everyone will be very happy.
"I have no objection. Letting Old Xu clean the toilets will also benefit everyone." Grandmother Sun was the first to speak.
Zeng Chang agreed: "No objection!"
The others nodded one after another.
Xu Lihua held her breath, supported her forehead and leaned towards Lin Rui.
"Oh, I can't do it. Why is my head so dizzy? Did I get a heat stroke? I can't clean this toilet. Don't turn around and fall into it."
Mr. Duan put his hands behind his back, "If you don't want to clean it, you can pay Jiang Yu five yuan for the loss, and this matter will be over."
Hearing "five yuan", Xu Lihua's headache was gone and she became energetic.
"Five yuan? It's faster to rob a bank!" Xu Lihua screamed at the top of her voice.
Grandmother Sun said coldly, "If you don't want to pay, just go clean the toilet. What are you talking about?"
Xu Lihua gritted her teeth fiercely, "Ruan Xiuyu, you are taking revenge for personal reasons. You just can't stand seeing me doing well!"
"What a joke, it's not Xiuyu who asked you to clean the toilet. What personal grudge is she taking?" Zeng Chang was the first to disagree.
Xu Lihua wanted to curse again, but her son Zhang Jiahua called her back: "Mom, if you don't want to sweep, I'll do it for you. Go home, I'm hungry!"
Her attitude immediately changed 180 degrees: "Jiahua, what are you talking about? How can I ask you to sweep the toilet? Mom, sweep, Mom, go sweep, okay!"
Everyone dispersed, Jiang Yu thanked Lin Donghua and the old man, and closed the door.
Jiang Yu looked at the fish in the bucket as if nothing had happened.
"He Tingyue, there is a fish that is dying, let's kill it first?"
"Okay, let me kill it, you and Feiyan go to mix the dough and steam the buns."
He called He Zhengdong and went into the house.
Jiang Ye hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister, how about I..."
He Feiyan handed over a knife directly, "Don't just stand there, kill the fish first, my brother knows how to make pickled fish, it's sour and spicy and delicious! A bite of steamed bun and a sip of fish soup, it's better than heaven!"
Jiang Ye swallowed hard and ate the pickled fish first.
He killed the fish and was thinking about how to fillet the fish when He Tingyue came out with He Zhengdong.
He Tingyue rolled up his sleeves: "I'll do it."
Jiang Ye took the initiative to give up his seat, and heard He Zhengdong murmured: "I'm sorry."
He was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "I don't care, but the person you really should apologize to is not me."
He Zhengdong's face froze, "I know."
He would naturally apologize to Jiang Yu.
When He Feiyan came out of the kitchen and Jiang Yu was the only one left, He Zhengdong went in to apologize.
Jiang Yu knew that he was scolded by He Tingyue, so he bowed to her.
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in this.
She nodded slightly, "I accept your apology."
Then, she turned and walked out.
After all the trouble, she just wanted to have a peaceful meal.
He Tingyue's cooking skills are indeed good. A fish weighing nearly ten pounds, plus the side dishes, fills a large pot.
The soup fried with fish bones is dark white, sour and spicy, and the overbearing aroma makes your mouth water.
Even Lin Donghua couldn't help but come to see, "You guys are eating too well, my tiger is greedy..."
"Sister-in-law, bring a bowl over and take some back." Jiang Yu said immediately.
Lin Donghua waved her hands repeatedly, how could she dare to ask for it, and hurriedly explained: "My grandfather asked me to come and ask if you sell this fish."
She just saw that Jiang Yu's family still had two big fish left.
