"Boss, you know, my whole family depends on me to earn money. Cutting my salary in half is like asking for our lives. Even rabbits bite when they are angry, let alone living people like us, don't you agree?"
Yang Chengye stared at his leader intently, as if to say, "If you dare to do this, we will all die together."
Seeing him like this, the leader was stunned at first, then couldn't help laughing, "Old Yang, why don't you understand? I'm helping you, otherwise you would be even worse off than this;
Don't say you can't make a living. If you sell some of your fine grains on the black market, the money you get will be enough to buy rationed food, which can save your family half of their expenses. Don't tell me you don't know this trick. I heard from people at work that you did the same thing to your stepson before.
Besides, nowadays anyone with money can buy food. If you don’t have money, can’t you borrow from others?”
At this point, the smile on the leader's face instantly disappeared, and he said very calmly, "I understand that you have extenuating circumstances. I'll forgive you this time, but if you dare to do it again, you'll have to give up your life."
The cold words made Yang Chengye shudder.
He could tell that the leader was serious.
In fact, he just wanted to scare the other person and didn't really want to risk his life.
Because he knew very well that with these two punishments, if he really dared to do that, he would not know what the other party would do, but he would definitely die, and there was a high probability that he would lose his job.
How will the rest of the family survive if they lose their jobs?
This is equivalent to putting the lives of the entire family at risk.
There was still some way to survive, but if I leave like this, I will be completely dead end.
The worst thing is that not only did he fail to scare the other party, but he also ended up making things worse and ended up being threatened instead.
This makes everyone numb.
Seeing his dazed look, the leader sneered in his heart and stood up to walk out.
After get off work, Yang Chengye returned home in a daze.
The Yang family was not surprised that he came back so late.
Because the food stations are all located in the countryside and the Yang family doesn't have a car, it takes a lot of time to commute to and from get off work every day, and it is normal to be delayed sometimes.
Of course, people can live in the food station, but Yang Chengye didn’t live there.
When his family members talked to him, he didn't say a word, and when food was placed in front of him, he wouldn't eat.
Obviously, this is a bad mood.
Yang's mother thought he was thinking about the salary deduction, so she tried to persuade him, "Boss, what's done is done. Don't dwell on it too much. You should look forward to the future. Besides, your food station makes extra money, and with that money, we can get by. We should be able to make it through the next two years."
Others also echoed.
After everyone persuaded him for a long time, Yang Chengye finally moved his lips and uttered a soft voice, "The extra income is gone, and I can't bear it anymore."
"Huh?" Everyone in the Yang family was shocked. "What does it mean that the extra income is gone?"
Yang Chengye sighed deeply and told what happened today.
After hearing this, everyone was stunned.
If others don’t understand, how could they not understand?
At the beginning, Yang Dong ate so little food every month that he was so hungry that he was dizzy when walking, and it was common for him to have trouble sleeping at night.
Can I bear this sin?
Especially those children who had memories of the drought, their faces turned green.
So everyone hurriedly asked Yang Chengye who he had been saying bad things about recently.
But Yang Chengye really couldn't remember.
Just like that, there was dead silence in the Yang family's house.
After a long time, Yang's mother said with difficulty, "Master, eat first, and then we'll talk."
Yang Chengye glanced at the food on the table and shook his head, "I can't eat it, take it away."
"I'm hungry and can't sleep at night. I need to eat a little."
After saying that, Yang's mother served him a bowl of porridge.
Yang Chengye's mouth twitched, "Do you think I'm still in the mood to sleep?"
"Even if I'm not in the mood, I have to sleep. Otherwise, what will I do if I have to do heavy work tomorrow?"
Yang Chengye: ...
I have to say, this makes a lot of sense and he really can't refute it.
After staring at the porridge for a while, he picked up the bowl and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
After he finished eating, everyone was silent again. At this time, Yang's mother seemed to remember something and looked at Yang Chengye quickly.
"Boss, you're usually either at work or at home. Those words definitely weren't said at home, they could only have been said at work. Now's the chance to ask around with your close colleagues. Ask if anyone at work has been paying any special attention to you lately. Ask them to help you recall what you said before you went to the food station."
You know what, these words really reminded Yang Chengye. His eyes lit up, and he said something and walked quickly out the door.
It was nearly two hours before he came back.
He frowned and said as soon as he entered the room, "A lot of people have been paying attention to me recently, but they're all trying to figure out how I got transferred to the food station. As for what I said, they only think about trivial matters and haven't offended anyone."
In fact, some people remembered that he had scolded Li Mei and her husband.
But after learning about his current miserable condition, I didn't dare to say...
Everyone in the Yang family was disappointed. Mother Yang forced a smile and said, "It's getting late. Go get some rest. You've been transferred to the city now, so you'll get off work early. Tomorrow night after dinner, let's go find Yang Dong and his wife and see if Li Mei can help."
Hearing the names of Yang Dong and Li Mei, Yang Chengye blurted out, "Can these two little beasts help us?"
"Huh?" Everyone was startled, then reacted and their expressions changed drastically, "Have you ever scolded them like this at work?"
In the past, it was a routine for Yang Chengye to scold Yang Dong at home. He would scold him from time to time as a joke.
