Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Human Light Bulb
Ding Yan considered herself to be Tong Wanyue's friend and felt that she was being bullied at work.
When I asked Jiang Ling about the details, she told me the truth, "It's not that I was bullied. I was just unlucky and met a colleague who stole my credit."
Ding Yan still remembers the way the other person's hands were shaking while holding the gun. She said in disbelief, "How can he be so shameless!"
"People who don't have the ability can only rely on stealing the credit, otherwise they will never have a chance to succeed in their life." Jiang Ling shrugged.
"Let's go and testify for Wanyue. I have some friendship with their leader, he won't deny me this little bit of face."
What is a generous and enthusiastic sister? Ding Yan is probably one of them.
If Jiang Ling had this ability, she would definitely be willing to help Tong Wanyue, not only to vent her friend's anger, but also to vent herself.
But this would require Ding Yan to do favors, and Jiang Ling was not sure whether Tong Wanyue was willing to trouble her.
Jiang Ling expressed her concerns, and Ding Yan shook her head in disdain, "You people just worry too much. Just do it if you want to. Why bother so much?"
This sister is incredibly insightful.
"How can I compare with you? If I can learn even a little bit of your wisdom in life, it will be enough to deal with most of the troubles in my life."
"Oh my, look at this sweet little mouth."
The other colleagues couldn't help laughing after hearing this, but Lu Jianjun curled his lips slightly and whispered something flattering in his heart.
He used to flatter Wei Ming in the department, but now that Wei Ming was fired, he lost both his backing and his allies, and felt particularly lonely in the Finance Department.
Just after sending away a non-blood-related sister, Jiang Ling's blood-related elder sister came looking for her.
After calling Jiang Ling out of the office, she asked awkwardly, "Third sister, can you lend me some money?"
Jiang Ling asked: "It's not impossible to borrow money, sister, can you tell me how much you want to borrow and what you want to use it for?"
"Ya'er is sick. I want to take her to the hospital."
In the last wave of factory layoffs, Jiang Lian was among those being laid off. She lost her job, and had to hand over her salary to her family, leaving her with no money to pay for her child's medical treatment.
Taking the child to the hospital was a big deal, so Jiang Ling had ten dollars in her pocket and gave it all to her.
"Is it enough? If not, I can borrow some from my colleagues."
Jiang Lian nodded repeatedly, "Enough, enough."
"What's wrong with the child? Is it serious?"
Jiang Lian's face was filled with sorrow. "I sent her to the hospital. The doctor said it was diphtheria and she had to be hospitalized. I had no money, so I thought of you."
"My mother-in-law said there's no need to save the girl." After holding on for so long, she couldn't help but cover her face and cry, "But Ya'er is still so young, how can I watch her die? Don't worry, little sister, I will definitely return the money to you."
It’s just ten dollars, it doesn’t matter whether you pay it back or not.
But Jiang Lian’s problem now is not money. As long as she doesn’t leave her mother-in-law, she will always have to face various problems.
If anything, it was caused by money. Jiang Lian had no money, and she did not have the right to take her daughter to the doctor when she was sick.
This time, her mother-in-law didn’t pay for the child’s medical treatment. Next time, her mother-in-law will continue to not pay for the child’s education.
Jiang Ling couldn't help but sigh and said, "Sister, my second sister has already said that you shouldn't give your and your brother-in-law's wages to your parents-in-law. Your parents-in-law treat you four badly, so you should find a way to move out instead of continuing to be your brother-in-law's family's blood bag. Now the child is sick, and you have no money to borrow. If you don't borrow the money, will the child not be treated? Will he just wait to die?"
Seeing her crying pitifully, Jiang Ling couldn't bear to say anything harsh. "My second sister has many connections. You can ask her where to recruit workers, waiters, and salespersons. The salary outside is much higher than that in the factory. You and your eldest brother-in-law can find a way to rent a house. It will be much better than living with your parents-in-law and brother-in-law. Not only can you save money, but Yaer and Shier will not be bullied."
Jiang Lian said: "I have been looking for a job outside recently, but I haven't found one yet."
Jiang Ling was so anxious, "Yes, that's why I asked my second sister to help. She has a wide network of contacts, and her parents-in-law know a lot of people. Maybe she'll find a suitable job."
In fact, what Jiang Ling didn't say was that Jiang He was selling jeans and might need help at the stall. Although Jiang Lian was a little cowardly, he was a good worker.
It is up to Jiang He herself to decide whether it is appropriate or not. If her second sister does not have this idea, but Jiang Ling says it out loud, it is equivalent to putting Jiang He in a difficult position, and she will have to do it even if she doesn't want to.
Jiang Lian tightly grasped the ten yuan she had just borrowed. "A while ago, I said something to my second sister, and she got angry and said she would never associate with me again."
When did this happen? The last time Jiang He came home, he didn’t mention it to Jiang Ling.
"Why are you talking about my second sister?"
"Last time she came home and made a scene, causing Hongyun to have a miscarriage. I felt that she was wrong, so I said a few words to her. You know your second sister, she can only listen to nice words, so she got angry after she said a few words to me."
Jiang Lian is a person with this kind of personality. She believes that suffering a loss is a blessing, and as long as she suffers a loss and can maintain superficial peace in the family, it's enough.
But my second sister is not that kind of person. Letting her suffer a little loss is like asking for her life.
Last time, Jiang Ling gave her second sister a little idea. She brought nearly a hundred dollars worth of things to the house as gifts, proving that she cared very much about Jiang's parents and their in-laws colluding with each other to cheat her, their own daughter.
Jiang Ling didn't know what to say. She was in her thirties, but she couldn't catch up with Jiang Liwu, a ten-year-old kid.
Logically speaking, Jiang Lian's mother-in-law would not allow her to take the child to see a doctor. Jiang Liwu had already taught her the best way. So she brought the child to the factory to ask her mother-in-law for money. Her mother-in-law was a person who cared about her reputation. It was impossible for her to say in front of her colleagues that her sick granddaughter did not need treatment and that she was unlucky if she couldn't make it.
Not to mention that her colleagues would talk about her behind her back, the Women's Federation would come to talk to her the next day.
But Jiang Lian couldn't take the risk, so she could only suffer the consequences.
This is Jiang Ling's sister. She even blocked a slap for Jiang Ling. She couldn't just ignore it. "You can use the money to pay for the child's medical treatment first. I'll ask someone to help you find a job. If you can't find one, go and trouble my second sister. I don't think there is any overnight hatred between two sisters. You know my second sister's character, so don't say anything in front of her that she doesn't want to hear."
Jiang Ling asked her to go first, "Come back to me when you need money."
She was just paying for trouble. After lending the money to Jiang Lian, she never thought about getting it back. When she thought about the things happening in Jiang Lian's family, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable all over.
I am angry at their lack of resistance, but also sad at their misfortune.
This bad mood continued until I got home from get off work.
She pushed open the door. Chen Xiangyang was sitting on a small stool in front of the stove, and Song Guanshu was fiddling with the radio in the inner room.
"Hey, where's the radio?"
Chen Xiangyang smiled and said, "I bought it from an old rag collector. He said it was unusable, but it looked pretty new to me, so I bought it back in case it could be used."
"Can it be used?" Jiang Ling was looking forward to it. At least there was something to kill time, even if she could just listen to the sound but not see the picture.
Song Guanshu was using a tiny screwdriver to slowly screw the radio casing shut. "It won't work."
Both faces fell at the same time. Song Guanshu resisted the urge to pinch Jiang Ling's face. He said, "Don't think about taking advantage next time. She's not a fool. If there's any advantage, it will be your turn."
Chen Xiangyang wailed, "My twenty dollars!"
Jiang Ling was shocked. "You spent twenty dollars on a piece of junk!?"
Chen Xiangyang could no longer care about wailing. Jiang Ling's tone was even more terrifying. He explained weakly, "I just thought that if it works, I'd make a profit. A second-hand radio costs forty or fifty yuan. This way I can save twenty yuan, so I was tempted."
Jiang Ling nodded, "This is similar to gambling. If you take a chance, your bicycle could turn into a motorcycle."
Chen Xiangyang asked stupidly, "What if the fight fails?"
"As you are now, the bicycle becomes air."
Usually when Jiang Ling got home from get off work, Song Guanshu had already prepared meals. But today, she was delayed by Chen Xiangyang, who was busy repairing the radio, so dinner was not ready yet.
Jiang Lian's story made her feel emotional. She held her chin and asked Song Guanshu, "Do you plan to be a househusband forever, or do you have other plans?"
Song Guanshu said with a smile, "Didn't you say you would support me forever? It's only been a month, and you're not happy about it?"
"No, I think you should fly in the wider sky instead of being stuck next to the stove."
Chen Xiangyang felt annoyed when he heard this. Look at what the other person said, why did it sound so nice?
"Li Gui came to my house to see me a few days ago."
Jiang Ling knew about this because she happened to see him on her way home from get off work. She had asked Li Gui why he came to her house, but Song Guanshu did not answer her.
“He wanted to invite me to open a factory with him.”
It has been half a year since the beginning of this era, and Jiang Ling has some understanding of the policy. She asked, "Do you want to start a family workshop together?"
The kitchen knife made a neat sound on the chopping board. He said, "No, it's affiliated with the state-owned factory. He said he would handle the specific procedures, and I would only be responsible for product research and development."
Jiang Ling didn't know much about Li Gui, but he sounded reliable. "Then how do you two discuss the profit sharing?"
"It depends on how much initial capital each party puts out. The details are still under discussion."
Jiang Ling was afraid that he would be deceived, but also felt that her thoughts were unnecessary, because this was Song Guanshu.
He has always been the one who cheats others, and it seems that no one who can cheat him has appeared yet.
"Brother, if you are doing business, take me with you. I don't ask for much, just enough to keep me fed."
Song Guanshu did not answer him. Chen Xiangyang looked at Jiang Ling eagerly, "Ling, talk to me."
Jiang Ling did not interfere in his affairs. Song Guanshu must have his own considerations.
Song Guanshu asked back, "Haven't I been taking you with me all the time?"
Two completely different faces, their eyes narrowed at the same time.
In fact, Jiang Ling still hoped that Song Guanshu would take Chen Xiangyang with him. It didn't matter whether he could make money or not, as long as he stopped being an unemployed vagrant and acting as an informant for Xie Lang.
There was an autumn rain the night before yesterday, and the weather gradually turned cooler.
Before going to work, Jiang Ling said she wanted to eat hand-rolled noodles. Song Guanshu had already rolled the noodles and cut them into even thin strips before putting them into the oil soup.
The hand-rolled noodles were only prepared for two people, so Chen Xiangyang consciously went to the store to buy a few steamed buns, which were enough for three people to share.
I had only carbohydrates for dinner, which made me feel dizzy and sleepy.
Chen Xiangyang didn't want to move after eating. "It would be great if our two families lived together, just like during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I can eat at your house and walk home in just two steps. How great it would be, saving me the trouble of taking the bus home."
He lives in the suburbs, and it would be much more convenient to buy a bicycle, but bicycles are too expensive and the roads in the suburbs are not good, which causes great damage to bicycles. Chen Xiangyang has to walk several kilometers every day to the nearest bus stop to catch the bus.
I chose the suburbs because the rent there was low.
Now that he has some spare money, he is considering renting a house in the north city.
Because he didn't want to walk several kilometers back, he thought of the west wing opposite Song Guanshu's house.
"By the way, the house across from your house should also be for rent."
Song Guanshu suddenly had a bad feeling.
Chen Xiangyang was excited about the great idea he had come up with. "Why don't I just move in? It will be more convenient for us to meet in the future. The landlord can rent the house to anyone, so why not rent it to me?"
Jiang Ling thought it was feasible, "Sure, we can take care of each other."
Absolutely not!
That's a huge light bulb, and it was a huge mistake to let him live opposite during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Song Guanshu regretted the mistake he made that day every day and absolutely could not let him live in.
However, no one cared about his feelings. Chen Xiangyang had already run to the main house to discuss renting the house with Old Man Sun.
