Chapter 84 Chapter 84 I am Song Guanshu's mother
"Hello, is Song Guanshu's lover here?"
This female comrade speaks very politely.
Another person came looking for Song Guanshu's partner, and everyone looked at Jiang Ling.
Zhong Yunu also looked at Jiang Ling, and there was a hint of familiarity in her smile.
Unsure whether the person was looking for her or Song Guanshu, Jiang Ling took off the red paper from her eyelids.
"I am Song Guanshu's lover. What do you want from me?"
This couldn’t be another Xu Youlan.
The gentle and intelligent sister nodded slowly, "I am his mother."
Mother?
Jiang Ling remembered it very clearly. Song Guanshu said that his parents were dead, so how did a mother suddenly appear?
Colleagues in the Finance Department knew Song Guanshu’s family situation. When Jiang Ling married him, several older sisters had shared with him the benefits of not having a mother-in-law, which left a particularly deep impression on him.
Jiang Ling was only surprised in her heart, but her colleagues' reactions were much more exaggerated.
"Are you Xiao Song's mother?"
Li Chunjiao was so surprised that she couldn't help but exclaim.
Zhong Yu Nu smiled and asked, "I am his mother, is there any problem with that?"
What Li Chunjiao was thinking was, wasn’t Xiao Song’s mother already dead?
She couldn't say this, so she just said, "I didn't expect Xiao Song's mother to be so young. If you and Xiao Song were walking together, someone who didn't know would think you were siblings."
Although this statement contained a hint of flattery, it was not an exaggeration. Zhong Yunu looked to be only in her thirties, and no one would have thought that she would have a son in his twenties.
However, Song Guanshu also looks young. He is almost thirty years old, but looks like he is in his early twenties.
Fair skin will make you look younger. Song Guanshu was born with fair skin and will not get tanned no matter how much he gets exposed to the sun.
Regardless of whether they are men or women, they all like to be praised for their youthful looks. Zhong Yu Nu covered her mouth and smiled, "You're too kind."
Zhong Yunu was holding a small bag in her hand and wearing a jade bracelet with extremely fine water content on her wrist. One could tell it was worth a fortune by looking at its color and water content.
She sighed, "I didn't expect Xiaoshu to be married."
Following the guidance of her fellow villagers, Zhong Yu-nu found Beicheng University. The school staff saw that she had a good temperament and when they heard that she was looking for her son, they enthusiastically helped to search.
It will be easy to find the student if you know which class and college he/she belongs to, and also his/her name.
The teachers were deeply impressed by Song Guanshu. There was only one boy with good looks and good grades, and he was the only one in all these years.
She didn't even need to look through the files to tell her where Song Guanshu went after graduation.
Many students whose academic performance was not as good as Song Guanshu's in school went to work in better institutions, but Song Guanshu only went to work in a small daily chemical factory, which the teachers felt was a pity.
Especially last year, I saw a warning in the newspaper about the bankruptcy and liquidation of Beicheng Daily Chemical Factory. Thinking of such excellent students, who might eventually go down with the Beicheng Daily Chemical Factory, I felt sad.
Zhong Yunv found the Beicheng Daily Chemical Factory. The prosperity can not only support the people, but also the factory. The daily chemical factory has not been doing well in the past six months, which is directly reflected in the factory building. From the outside, it looks much more depressed.
She told the doorman that she was looking for someone. Seeing that he was dressed like a leader's wife, she thought he was here to see the factory director, but it turned out that he was just here to see a worker.
It stands to reason that no matter how few people there are in a factory, the security department may not remember which worker is in which department.
After all, Xu Youlan had come to the factory to look for Song Guanshu not long ago. "I remember he seemed to be in the technical department."
"It is indeed the technical department, but he left the company a long time ago. The girl who came to see Song Guanshu some time ago told me about it. However, his wife is still in our factory, and she works in the finance department."
The Security Department would tailor dishes to different people based on their appearance. Seeing that Zhong Xue was well-dressed, they treated her very well and sent her all the way to the Finance Department.
She looked at Jiang Ling with a warm gaze and asked with concern, "What do your family members do? Do they also work in this factory like you?"
"They are all socialist screws, moving wherever they are needed." Jiang Ling seemed to have answered Zhong Xuenu's question, but in fact she didn't reveal anything. She asked, "What are you doing now?"
Zhong Xuenu was a very beautiful woman, her every smile and frown revealed her romantic charm. "As for me, I haven't done anything outside since I got married."
"I heard from the security department that Xiaoshu has resigned from the factory. Where is he working now?"
Jiang Ling had never told his comrades that Song Guanshu had gone to start a business in partnership with someone else, mainly because the business of his business overlapped with that of the Beicheng Daily Chemical Factory.
It’s not convenient to talk about this with this “mother-in-law” in front of my colleagues.
Jiang Ling smiled and said, "Since he quit his job, he has been a full-time househusband at home. I support him."
Zhong Xuenu's face changed, as if she had not expected that Song Guanshu, a college student, was now unemployed and dependent on a woman for support.
"He is a college student, how can he..."
Jiang Ling looked at her with a smile, "Come to think of it, you two are quite similar."
The unspoken words are obvious. Didn't you lose your job after getting married? What qualifications do you have to criticize him?
Maybe it was because there was a disagreement between people's auras, Jiang Ling always felt uncomfortable when getting along with others.
Come to think of it, when she first met Song Guanshu, she didn't like him either. She always felt that he was fake.
If Song Guanshu had not taken on most of the housework when they lived together and was not easy to bully, Jiang Ling would have thought that Song Guanshu was fake and unpopular.
She no longer thinks Song Guanshu is fake, she just thinks he does have mental problems.
It’s not that he has no popularity now, Song Guanshu is just annoying now.
Thinking of Song Guanshu when they first met, Jiang Ling liked Zhong Xuenu a lot more.
He didn't choke her again.
Colleagues could clearly feel that the atmosphere between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was strange. They had all watched Jiang Ling grow up, and as her family, they were afraid that Jiang Ling would offend her mother-in-law and affect the couple's life in the future.
As the section chief, Old Tang was the first to speak up and mediate, "Mrs. Song, how did you come to Beicheng? Did you come alone? How long do you plan to stay in Beicheng? Our Beicheng is a good place. Now is the most comfortable time of the year. Let Jiang Ling and Xiao Song take you around."
"This place is too backward. I don't plan to stay in North City for too long. I came here to take Song Guanshu back to his hometown. He has been away from home for too long and it is time for him to go back."
When her colleagues heard that she was going to take Song Guanshu away, they looked at each other in confusion. If he is taken away, what will Jiang Ling do?
Li Chunjiao had a good relationship with Jiang Ling. She was thinking about her little sister and asked, "Have you discussed it with Xiao Song? Will Xiao Jiang go back to her hometown with you?"
"I'll go talk to Xiaoshu."
Her tone was gentle, but her words were very strong.
Li Chunjiao looked at Jiang Ling with some pity, always feeling that she was a troublesome mother-in-law.
With this outsider around, everyone couldn't chat about family matters, and some even chose to pretend to be busy because her words were a bit choking.
Zhong Xuenu was very proactive and sat down in front of Wei Ming's former office.
She had no work on hand and wanted to talk to Jiang Ling about Song Guanshu.
What Jiang Ling told her was limited, and after chatting for a long time, Zhong Xuenu learned about the cuisine that Song Guanshu was currently good at.
For some reason, her tone always unconsciously carried a bit of superiority. Zhong Xuenu said softly, "In the early years, the Song family employed several chefs. The head chef's surname was Sun. It is said that his ancestors had been imperial chefs. He was very good at cooking Cantonese cuisine. My father-in-law hired him back home to be the chef with a high salary. Xiaoshu was born weak and grew up eating ginseng bird's nest. He doesn't like bird's nest, saying that it smells like chicken feathers. In fact, it is the official bird's nest sent from the Malaysian supplier. It is steamed in a silver bowl over a low fire, and there is absolutely no odor."
My colleagues are all descendants of working-class people. They have never heard of this. It is not popular to show off wealth on TV programs nowadays, so everyone was stunned when they heard it.
Only at this time did I have a general understanding of Song Guanshu's family situation. It turned out that Xiao Song's family was so rich.
They had heard of bird's nest, which was said to be a very expensive ingredient.
Xiao Song despises such an expensive thing. How rich must he be?
Jiang Ling calculated in her mind based on Song Guanshu's age. He should have experienced a period of good times when he was very young.
Probably after he could remember things, his family's situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and when he was about ten years old, his family was broken up and everyone in it had died.
As if not understanding her implication, Jiang Ling asked innocently, "Really? Song Guanshu likes to eat eggs very much. He fries eggs for me every morning. In fact, bird's nest and eggs have similar nutritional components, both of which are protein."
This was an answer that Zhong Xuenu could never have imagined. She thought that Zhong Xuenu would envy such a wealthy life, or at least be jealous or resentful that she had not experienced it.
But I didn't expect that she would compare eggs with bird's nest.
How can eggs be compared with royal bird's nest? You are such a bumpkin who has never seen the world.
In an afternoon, Jiang Ling and her colleagues learned from Zhong Xuenu how wealthy Song Guanshu's family was.
Jiang Ling took back the idea that she and her son were in love. Zhong Xuenu were two completely different people.
Although they are mother and son, they don't have any similarities at all.
In other words, the overall environment has improved now. If we had said this a few years ago, it would have been a disaster.
The impression she left on Jiang Ling was that she was not very smart. No matter how glorious her life had been in the past, if she told this story, she would easily be hated by some narrow-minded people.
The better your life is, the more low-key you should be.
Colleagues all treated what Zhong Xuenu said as a story, and it was a glimpse into another world, which was quite interesting.
Hearing the bell for the end of get off work, Zhong Xuenu urged Jiang Ling to go home quickly.
Jiang Ling also wanted to meet Song Guanshu as soon as possible to get rid of this hot potato. Song Guanshu's mother was really a troublemaker.
After Jiang Ling and Zhong Xuenu left the Finance Department, the colleagues who had not left started chatting.
Lu Jianjun shook his head. “No wonder they wanted to beat this group of people down. We couldn’t even get food to eat back then, and the young masters and young ladies of the capitalists even complained that bird’s nests were not tasty.”
Everyone was muttering in their hearts, but Lu Jianjun was the only one who spoke out.
Li Chunjiao defended herself, "Don't say that. Xiao Song is a good person. She looks different from her mother."
Lu Jianjun sneered, "That's because he received re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants, otherwise he would be the same as his mother."
Song Guanshu did not see Jiang Ling off from get off work in the morning. In the evening, he waited in the most conspicuous position in front of the factory gate so that Jiang Ling could see him the first thing she saw when she went out.
Just thinking about meeting Jiang Ling next, he radiated joy from the inside out.
The bell for the end of get off work rang, and workers left the factory one after another. Song Guanshu saw Jiang Ling in the crowd at first sight. The next second, when he saw the person standing next to Jiang Ling, the smile on his lips turned cold. It was the first time that Jiang Ling saw Song Guanshu like this.
"What are you doing here?"
Zhong Xuenu had not seen Song Guanshu for nearly twenty years. Boys change a lot when they grow up, and it is difficult to find the shadow of the little boy in a tuxedo in the young Song Guanshu.
"Xiao Shu, I'm your mother, don't you remember me?"
Her loud voice and outstanding appearance quickly attracted many workers who were leaving get off work to stop and watch.
Jiang Ling blinked. It seemed that Song Guanshu didn't like his mother very much.
And the relationship between them doesn't seem to be very good.
Song Guanshu pushed his bicycle forward with big strides, and Jiang Ling jogged behind him.
Zhong Xuenu was wearing high-heeled sandals and a skirt, which made it inconvenient for her to walk, but she still followed steadily.
Jiang Ling thought, I don’t know what his mother had done to make Song Guanshu so angry that he went insane. If you want to get rid of someone, just ride a bike.
At the busy factory gate, a beautiful woman shouted at the young couple, "Is it all your wife who has been trying to sow discord between us? If I had known that you were an ungrateful person who forgot your mother after having a wife, I should not have given birth to you."
Jiang Ling was speechless. Please, before today, she didn't even know you existed in this world.
Song Guanshu has always told others that both her parents are dead. No matter how crazy Jiang Ling is, it is impossible for her to sow discord between Song Guanshu and the dead.
She could now be completely sure that this man did not love his son.
Saying such words that damage the reputation of her own son in public is not something a mother who loves her son would do.
Song Guanshu's mother is not even as good as Old Lady Liu. No matter how weird that old lady is, she loves her son very much.
Liu Jianshe is not a good son, but Old Lady Liu is a good mother.
Jiang Ling pulled Song Guanshu's sleeve and said, "Get on the bike."
After her reminder, Song Guanshu got on his bicycle, and the two of them quickly left Zhong Xuenu behind.
The journey home has never been so short. Jiang Ling could clearly feel that Song Guanshu was in a bad mood.
Following him into the door, she said with some annoyance, "When Xu Youlan came to see me yesterday, she told me that a woman claiming to be your mother called back to the place where you were working in the countryside and asked about your current workplace. I wanted to tell you after I got home, but I forgot."
He forced a smile to comfort Jiang Ling, "It's okay, it's not important, it doesn't matter if you forget it."
Jiang Ling really wanted to ask him why a woman claiming to be his mother suddenly appeared when he had always said that his parents were dead.
Was that person just now really his mother? Why did his mother suddenly come back to life?
Jiang Ling had many questions in her mind, but she didn't dare to ask. Song Guanshu was distracted that night and almost put the laundry into the pot instead of sugar. There was no smile on his face.
She thought that if Song Guanshu wanted to say something, he would definitely bring it up on his own initiative. If he doesn't say anything, it proves he cares about it very much.
It’s better not to ask. If he is willing to talk, she will listen. If he didn't want to talk, there was no need for her to ask.
When they were sleeping, Song Guanshu's hands and feet were very honest. He didn't do any other inappropriate movements or anything else that was sticky. He just hugged her very simply.
To Jiang Ling's surprise, Song Guanshu's mother was very persistent.
Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu escaped the previous afternoon. She didn't know their home addresses, so she had to give up for the time being, but she did not give up.
The next day she went to the factory to find Jiang Ling without hesitation.
When Jiang Ling saw Zhong Xuenv at Wei Ming's desk at work, not only was she stunned, but all the other colleagues were dumbfounded.
Why did this great god come back again?
Zhong Xuenv smiled and greeted everyone, "I'm sorry to bother you all. Jiang Ling didn't take me home after get off work yesterday evening. She found an opportunity to get rid of me. I'm eager to find my son, so I can only come to the company to look for her. I'm very sorry to bother you all."
Colleagues were collectively dumbfounded. They couldn't imagine that the well-behaved Jiang Ling would do such a thing.
It is said that family disgrace should not be made public, and they could not imagine that Zhong Xuenu, as a mother-in-law, would tell everyone about the family disgrace.
Lu Jianjun, who had always been at odds with Jiang Ling, rarely took advantage of her misfortune. No matter how pretty this woman was, it couldn't cover up the fact that she was mentally ill. He could understand Jiang Ling's behavior of dumping her.
I even want to say well done.
They were all colleagues, so they were definitely on Jiang Ling's side. They all said, "It must be a misunderstanding. Jiang Ling is not that kind of person. He must have suddenly remembered that something urgent happened at home, so he had to go back and deal with it, and had no choice but to leave you behind."
"That's right. Jiang Ling usually gets along well with her colleagues and leaders. It's definitely not intentional."
She said confidently, "It's not a misunderstanding. I think she just thinks I'm redundant and is afraid that I will steal her man. I'm a woman, and I understand women best."
She had clearly only known Jiang Ling for less than half a day, but she sat there listing Jiang Ling's mistakes, as if she could keep listing them for three days and three nights.
Jiang Ling is a colleague. We have worked together for many years. She is just an outsider.
He didn't use any foul language, but his words were quite harsh and his colleagues frowned when they heard him.
Old Tang was definitely going to protect his subordinates. He said politely, "I'm sorry, female comrade, we are in working hours now and you are disturbing us. Besides, the Finance Department deals with money, so it is not convenient for outsiders to stay for a long time. If you want to wait for someone, you can wait outside."
Zhong Xuenu has always lived a life of luxury. Even when her ex-husband's family fell into trouble, she has never suffered any injustice.
Old Tang politely asked her to leave, but Zhong Xuenu viewed this as expulsion and a huge injustice.
"You thought I was willing to come to such a shabby place!"
Zhong Xuenu was so angry that she left in anger.
No one knew where she went after leaving the Finance Department. Jiang Ling had a hunch that she should be hiding somewhere and would suddenly rush out after Jiang Ling got off work.
According to this person's character, she will not give up easily.
After Zhong Xuenu left, the Finance Department started talking about her.
"It's really not easy for Xiao Jiang. How could she meet such a mother-in-law?"
Yu Jiafeng said, "When you got married, I told you that you were lucky. Although you don't have a mother-in-law to help take care of the children, it's still good to have one less troublemaker."
Li Chunjiao also echoed, "Your mother-in-law is not an easy person to deal with. You have to be careful."
"Have you told Xiao Song about this? What did he say? Did he go back to his hometown, or continue to stay in North City?"
"I didn't have time to ask." Seeing that he was in a bad mood yesterday, I forgot about it.
Li Chunjiao pointed at Jiang Ling in the air and said, "You better be more careful."
Everyone had a common question in their mind, "Didn't they say Xiao Song's parents died? What's going on here?"
Jiang Ling smiled again, "I didn't have time to ask."
There is nothing much to talk about with her. She knows nothing. I might as well read the newspaper.
Lu Jianjun loves to gossip behind people's backs. Jiang Ling is still here, and he speaks ill of Zhong Xuenu without any reservation.
This is because he felt that Jiang Ling and her mother-in-law were not getting along, so he felt there was no need to be secretive.
Sure enough, when Jiang Ling was passing by the gatehouse after get off work, Zhong Xuenu rushed out from the security room.
Song Guanshu was standing outside the gate to pick up Jiang Ling from get off work, and he did not miss this scene.
He was extremely annoyed and angry that this man came to harass Jiang Ling again.
Jiang Ling looked at Song Guanshu helplessly.
"What do you want to do?"
Zhong Xuenu said sincerely, "Son, I haven't seen you for twenty years. I was sorry for you in the past. I just want to make it up to you now. I hope you can give me this chance."
Song Guanshu knew that if he didn't agree to her, given this person's shamelessness, she would continue to go to Jiang Ling's workplace to harass her.
He said calmly, "You can follow me if you want."
Song Guanshu came to pick up Jiang Ling on a bicycle, which could only accommodate two people. The best option is for Song Guanshu to ride a bicycle, while Jiang Ling and Zhong Xuenu take the bus back.
Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu tacitly did not mention this matter.
Song Guanshu pushed his bicycle from the daily chemical factory all the way to the steel plant's family quarters. Jiang Ling sat on the back seat of the bicycle and didn't feel tired.
Zhong Xuenu followed and walked for more than an hour. She had never walked so far in her life, and her legs were almost broken.
When we arrived at the family quarters, it was already dark.
The neighbors had finished their dinner and were sitting outside to cool off and chat.
When Chen Xiangyang saw Song Guanshu and Jiang Ling, his eyes lit up and he ran over, "Brother, Ling, why are you coming home just now?"
When he walked in, he found that there was a lesbian following the bicycle whom he had never seen before. He asked curiously, "Who is this lesbian?"
Without waiting for Song Guanshu to introduce her, Zhong Xuenu could only introduce herself to Chen Xiangyang with a smile.
"Hello, young comrade. I am Song Guanshu's mother."
Chen Xiangyang took two steps back in shock: "Didn't my mother die?"
This is what many relatives and friends who know that Song Guanshu's parents have both passed away think about. Everyone has questions, but they keep them to themselves.
Only Chen Xiangyang, a fool, said it out loud.
"Tell others that I'm dead." Zhong Xuenu was pretty, and her tearful expression made her look particularly lovable. "Do you hate mom so much?"
Chen Xiangyang blinked twice, it seemed like he said something wrong.
The neighbors who were resting in the cool air nearby all looked at Song Guanshu, and almost talked about him behind his back for being unfilial. How could he say that his mother was dead when she was still alive?
Even if he is a bad mother, he can't do this.
