Chapter 346 Is There Someone Knocking on the Door?



Zhao Xiaoyue was still sad. She had been crying quietly at first, but when she was comforted, she couldn't help crying even louder.

"Hongdou, tell me, am I born to be a jinx, so no one who has anything to do with me will have a good ending?"

When Zhao Youliang got into trouble, Ma Cuilian beat and scolded her all day long, saying that it was all her fault.

She was also very sad at that time, but not because she felt sorry for them.

Later, Ma Cuilian remarried, and she was finally relieved. She also thought that she was the only one left in the entire Zhao family. Could she really be the reincarnation of the jinx that Ma Cuilian mentioned?

But she was very happy because no one would beat or scold her anymore.

Even after she married Ergouzi, although he sometimes always disliked her for being stupid, he still loved her, made sure she had enough food to eat, and bought her new clothes.

She felt that the time she spent with Ergouzi was the happiest time she had ever enjoyed in her life.

She didn't want anything to happen to him. If possible, she would rather be the one to get hurt.

Anyway, she is an unfortunate person. It is her fate to suffer. Can't she just accept it?

At this time, Zhao Xiaoyue felt really fragile.

Perhaps, An Hongdou didn't need to do anything. Just a slight nod would be enough to break the last bit of strength in her heart.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What jinx? Even the country has said that feudal superstition is not to be trusted. Don't you know that? If others hear you saying these things, who knows what they will say." An Hongdou sighed helplessly, hugged her in his arms, and patted her back comfortingly, "Xiaoyue, you have to believe in yourself. No matter how many hardships life brings us, it is to temper us to move forward more tenaciously. Brother Ergou will be fine, so don't worry, relax and wait for him to come out, okay? Otherwise, when he comes out and comes home, seeing you so haggard, he will feel bad, right?"

"Yeah." What Zhao Xiaoyue needed most now was psychological comfort. After hearing what An Hongdou said, she nodded hurriedly, "Hongdou, I'll listen to you. I won't cry anymore."

After she finished speaking, she stood up in a hurry, "You haven't eaten yet, right? Changyue should be back soon, you take care of the children, I'll go cook for you..."

In fact, what she hoped most was that Ergouzi could come back and eat with her before she finished cooking.

But obviously, this is unrealistic.

In the garment factory, Shen Xiangzhi went all the way to the factory director’s office.

The two of them already knew each other, and according to seniority, Shen Xiangzhi had to call the other person uncle.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Shen Xiangzhi explained his purpose.

At first, I didn't know that Er Gouzi was brought in by Shen Xiangzhi. Naturally, he wouldn't bother the factory director for some small things lost in the garment factory.

But now that he knew, for the sake of Grandpa Su's reputation, he couldn't turn a blind eye.

In addition, being able to serve both the Su family and the Shen family at the same time is something that you can't even ask for under normal circumstances.

Even though the Su family is quiet now, Grandpa Su still holds a very important position in Jiangcheng. Coupled with Mr. Shen's status and Shen Wanhua's position, few people would fail to give them face.

In a society where relationships are favored, there are some things that cannot be gained even if you try your best. Sometimes, they are just a few words from some people.

With the factory director's authority and cooperation, Shen Xiangzhi was more adept at managing Er Gouzi's affairs.

After some questioning, he was sure that the problem was still Zhou Dazhuang's fault.

Moreover, as a result of the exposure of this incident, he was able to eliminate several parasites from the garment factory.

The garment factory in Jiangcheng is not small. The entire factory is divided into several factory areas. There are thousands of workers alone, not to mention how many items are piled up in the warehouse.

The warehouse manager and several drivers work together. They usually don't dare to touch the good finished products, but no one pays much attention to the defective clothes and some defective fabrics in the house, so they become their main targets.

Although there are some defects, in this era of scarce goods, it is not difficult to sell them outside, and they often use this to make profits.

If it continues like this, perhaps it won't be discovered for several years.

If this matter is involved, even Shen Xiangzhi and An Hongdou will be involved.

They had heard before that Aunt Wang's son was a driver, but they just listened to it and didn't take it too seriously, and didn't think about it for a while.

It was only after Shen Xiangzhi figured out the matter that he realized that Aunt Wang’s son was Zhou Dazhuang.

He was resentful because his mother and wife were fired, and he knew that the one who would take over their jobs was Ergouzi's wife, so from the beginning when Ergouzi came, he ignored her and didn't teach her well at all.

Er Gouzi didn't know the reason, so he kept trying to please Zhou Dazhuang. However, he didn't know that Zhou Dazhuang not only hated him from the bottom of his heart, but also tried every means to make him unlucky.

Just as Shen Xiangzhi guessed, the missing cloth was simply hidden.

It has been morning until now and it is not yet time to get off work. Anyone who wants to leave the factory must find an excuse, and at this juncture, he will also be suspected.

So, they must not have taken the stuff out yet.

Chen Xiangzhi asked Zhu Xinyi to find someone to secretly watch the warehouse, and found two brothers to keep an eye on the gate of the garment factory.

It was not until late at night that several people were caught wrapping cloth around themselves and trying to smuggle the material out.

In this way, not only was the person caught, the lost cloth was found, and Ergouzi was cleared of suspicion.

But after all, he was not from the garment factory, so the next things would have to be handled by them internally, and he had no room to interfere.

Otherwise, if you intervene rashly, you may offend people whom you should not offend.

Zhao Xiaoyue had suicidal tendencies in the past. Ergouzi hasn't come back yet, and An Hongdou doesn't dare to let her go back alone, for fear that she would be so distracted that she might do something to hurt herself again.

So she simply let Zhao Xiaoyue live at home.

An Changyue has moved back downstairs, and there is no room for them at home, so Zhao Xiaoyue can only squeeze in with An Changyue temporarily.

Late at night, Zhao Xiaoyue, who had fallen asleep, suddenly opened her eyes, sat up in a daze, turned around and was about to get out of bed. Her movements were so stiff that they seemed almost mechanical.

An Changyue rubbed her sleepy eyes in confusion, "Auntie, where are you going in the middle of the night?"

Her aunt told her to keep an eye on Zhao Xiaoyue at night, so she asked this question.

"Changyue, there's someone knocking on the door. It must be your uncle Ergou who's back. I'll go open the door for him." Zhao Xiaoyue said as she opened the door and walked out.

An Changyue also sat up and muttered to himself, "Is there anyone knocking on the door? Why didn't I hear it?"
