After returning home, the mother and son went through a lot of trouble and finally scraped together 550 yuan and handed it over to the Finance Department the next day.
Other members of Zhang Mingyu's family also made a fuss after hearing the news, but it was unrealistic not to pay compensation, after all, it concerned the family's future.
Before they paid back the money, they were so cunning that they first found Xiang Lili and Chen Wei, intending to borrow some money.
Of course, the repayment date is debatable and is basically a long way off.
The two of them thought it was bad luck and tried to avoid it.
Chen Wei even hated himself for being too talkative on Sunday and bringing this troublemaker into the factory. There were so many things to do that he wanted to slap himself twice when he thought about it.
But the two of them worked at the methane plant, and since people had come to their door, they couldn't hide.
After all, Chen Wei was more tactful and found a euphemism: "My younger brother is not married yet, and the family hasn't separated yet. My mother has always been in charge of the money. I'm really sorry."
Xiang Lili didn't even bother pretending anymore. She glanced at them and sneered, "Aren't you going to deduct money from my salary? Let me think about who said that? There's no money!"
The mother and son were rejected twice and had to pay the compensation out of their own pocket.
After the money was paid and counted to confirm its authenticity, the head of the finance department immediately called a tall and strong male colleague to "escort" the two of them out of the methane plant.
Zhang Lai Di and Zhang Mingyu, who were "escorted" out, stood at the gate of the methane plant, looking at the dismissal notice with mixed feelings.
I thought I had gotten a good job, but it was gone in just one day before I could even get used to it.
Zhang Mingyu hugged his mother and comforted her, "It's okay, Mom. Just wait and see. I'll definitely get a better job and make you proud. The methane plant isn't the only place hiring!"
He was full of confidence, and his face, which had not yet healed, showed an eagerness to try, as if a job was within his grasp.
Zhang Mingyu had made up his mind that he would make Xiang Lili and Chen Wei look at him with new eyes. When the two of them begged him, he would firmly refuse.
His blood was boiling, and the idea was quite beautiful, as if he had already seen the miserable appearance of the two people.
Zhang Laidi, who had experienced the harsh treatment of society, could only suppress his worries and force a smile: "Okay, Mom is waiting for your good news. My son will definitely get better."
The two of them affirmed each other. The son was very arrogant, but the mother was unsure.
Zhang Mingyu's dismissal was a big deal for the Zhang family, but at the methane plant it was just a small topic of discussion for a few days, and it lost its popularity as time passed.
Zhang and his family breathed a sigh of relief. It was really worry-free that their ancestor was not working in the factory. Who could stand if he kept causing trouble every other day?
Otherwise, Xiang Lili and Chen Wei would have to work in fear, afraid that Zhang Mingyu would be brought in and yell at them to beat people up or pay compensation...
It's so torturous, it's scary to think about it.
Xiang Lili was interrupted by Zhang Mingyu and worked harder. Don't be a fool. Work is so important. How can you just give up?
After this lesson, the fight between employees caused three machines to break down, one of which required more than three months of repair, causing great trouble to production tasks.
The methane plant has strengthened training on factory rules, with brief speeches before and after get off work every day, especially emphasizing that fighting is prohibited during work hours, and employees must go home quickly after work and are not allowed to stay in the factory.
The guards also arranged inspections of the workshop, and someone with full equipment would come to check once an hour. They would be wary of anyone who spoke in a louder tone.
The employees' originally impetuous hearts were immediately calmed down.
Didn’t you see how the fight ended?
One was fired, the other was kept in the factory on probation, and each of them paid 550 yuan in compensation.
It’s been more than two years without food or drink. Who’s salary can afford such a thing?
Employees were talking less to each other. After all, words can cause trouble, and who knew who would be the next unlucky person to be blamed by Lu Dong?
Although the factory was peaceful, there was a stir here with Zhang Jidi.
"What?! Tell me again, whose family is proposing marriage to Lili?"
Zhang Jidi was stunned when he heard this familiar name and asked the matchmaker in front of him.
The matchmaker smiled like a flower: "Oh, Hongqi family, are you so happy? I'm here to propose marriage on behalf of Lu Dong from the methane plant. He's in the team next to your Lili's."
Silence is Cambridge tonight. Isn’t this a case of “no friendship without fighting”?
The two of them stared at each other.
Zhang Jidi twitched his lips and muttered quietly, "That kid Mingyu, is he going to get his brain damaged by someone?"
Zhang Mingyu broke Lu Dong's glasses, and his face and body were covered with bruises. His injuries haven't healed yet, and he almost lost his job. What's the point of him proposing marriage?
The matchmaker was completely unaware, her wrinkles on her face smiling like a flower, and she continued to praise Lu Dong:
"Oh, let me tell you, the Lu family lives a good life. His father works in the neighborhood office and gets paid by the government. He's the only son, and he has three younger sisters. They definitely love him."
Zhang Jidi forced a smile, his whole body filled with rejection: "My family had a conflict with someone a few days ago. Talking about marriage now... isn't it appropriate?"
Could it be that she took her anger out on her daughter because she couldn't beat Zhang Mingyu?
In opera scripts, grudges can be forgotten with a smile, but how is that possible in real life?
What's more, the 550 yuan was real money, who wouldn't feel hurt?
This is enough for the two wives to fight. The two families did not fight because they were afraid that the political review would contain negative information that would affect the next generation.
Talk about marriage? Forget it.
The matchmaker quickly objected: "What's the big deal? Besides, he's your nephew, not your family. Lu Dong just liked that Lili was a factory employee like him, so they were a perfect match!"
In fact, there are indeed many couples working in the same factory. Especially when it comes to distributing housing, those who work in the same factory are given priority, which is very attractive.
In addition, the people recruited are young men and women, who work together and spend at least 8 hours together every day. Over time, this will become a good thing.
Zhang Jidi declined politely: "I'm so sorry, Lili is still young, we won't consider this."
The matchmaker waved her handkerchief and argued loudly: "You're not young anymore, you're 16 years old. If you date for too long, you'll be in your 20s and it will be hard to find someone."
Zhang Jidi didn't refuse politely, but said directly: "My fifth sister has no worries about getting married. She has a job, so why should she be worried about not finding a partner? You should reject Lu Dong. My family doesn't agree."
Not to mention that the nephew and Lu Dong had a fight, even if there was no fight, Zhang Jidi would not have fallen in love with Lu Dong.
Xiang Lili has such a strong talent for chemistry that she got a raise right away. She also has three years of experience in demolition work, plus this year's hard work, so her salary is now over 30 years old.
As for Lu Dong, we can’t say he is bad, but he doesn’t have any advantages, and the timing is indeed unfortunate.
The matchmaker looked embarrassed. "Hongqi family, you don't even like this only son. What kind of son-in-law are you looking for? Lu Dong said the betrothal gift is 400 yuan. If you have other conditions, you can ask for them. Look how good these conditions are."
According to her, if a woman can get so much betrothal gifts, she will happily agree immediately. So what if she has a job? Isn't it better to have a partner?
The father works in the street office, and the son works in a methane plant and is generous. This is definitely a good son-in-law.
The two of them are a perfect match, why refuse?
