Jiang Shushu was busy for an hour before all the customers finally left the store. As soon as they left, he immediately took a broom and swept up the fallen bones on the floor.
Qian Xiaoni pounded her waist and said, "I haven't been this busy in a long time. By the way, why is Sister Fangfang here?"
"She was passing by and didn't come in because she saw we were busy. She said she would wait until her husband came back and come see us. I also told her that Sister Fangfang's sister-in-law came to see me at noon and asked her to be careful." That's why we talked for so long.
"Those mother and daughter are shameless. We really need to be careful."
As soon as Mrs. Zhou returned home, Zhou Hui immediately came forward with a wronged look on her face and told her what happened at Donghe and He Fangfang's house in the state-owned hotel.
"Mom, He Fangfang must transfer the job to me as soon as possible, otherwise I won't feel at ease. If I don't have this job, I will definitely have to go to the countryside."
The more Mrs. Zhou listened, the more she frowned. "You go and cook. I'll go check on He Fangfang's house."
When Mrs. Zhou came to He Fangfang's house, He Fangfang didn't even look at her, "Aunt, if you have nothing to do, please go back. I'm very busy and don't have time to entertain you."
"I told you last time to transfer the work to Huihui. What do you think about it?"
"Stop dreaming in vain. Why should I give my job to Zhou Hui? Does she deserve it?"
"Think carefully about the consequences. If you don't give it to me, I will spread the news of your infertility. I will see how you will stay here then." This is the only way to win.
"Say whatever you want. I'm already cured anyway. If it wasn't for buying time to take medicine, do you think I would tolerate you for several months? A heartless person like you will be punished by God sooner or later. Get out of my house." He Fangfang pushed Old Lady Zhou out with one hand and closed the door with the other.
Impossible. At the time, she pretended to be her mother-in-law and asked the doctor, who had told her that it was basically incurable. How could it suddenly be cured? Then she would not get any benefits at all in the future. The thought of losing all benefits made Old Lady Zhou heartbroken.
Old Mrs. Zhou didn't believe what He Fangfang said, so she went to find Doctor Li early the next morning and asked him about He Fangfang's condition in the name of He Fangfang's mother-in-law. As a result, she got the result she least wanted to hear: He Fangfang was cured and could have children.
When Zhou Hui heard her job was over, she was not willing to accept it. She immediately ran to He Fangfang to make a scene. Zhou Yi, who had just returned, saw her and scolded her. She ran home crying.
When Zhou Yi came back, He Fangfang told him everything that had happened recently.
Before Zhou Yi came back, he thought of many words to comfort his wife in his mind, but before he could say them, he heard his wife tell him that she had recovered and he could be a father.
"Is it really healed? You're not just trying to comfort me?" Zhou Yi was a little unconvinced. Is there really such a magical medicine?
"I'm really cured now. I'm not trying to comfort you, but it cost 666 yuan to treat this disease. Don't you think it's too much?" He Fangfang felt embarrassed that she had spent so much money on medical treatment.
"It's not much, not much. Even if it doubles, it won't be much. As long as you are healthy, this money is worth spending. We must thank Comrade Jiang very much."
"Shushu lives in the village, and it's inconvenient for her to commute. She'd really like to rent or buy a better house in the city. Can you help her find one? I've asked the old ladies, but they haven't found anything."
"Okay, I'll go ask in the afternoon."
He Fangfang also told Zhou Yi about her desperate decision to jump into the river. After all, everyone outside knew about it now, and if she didn't tell him, Zhou Yi would know it by the afternoon.
Zhou Yi's face darkened as he listened. He suppressed his anger and comforted her, "Don't do anything stupid next time. What would I do without you? I'll take care of the Zhou family's affairs."
"I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again."
Zhou Yi found an opportunity and beat his elder brother and younger brother until they were black and blue and crying for their parents.
"You dare to bully my wife? I can't beat your parents, and I can't beat you two either. Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror? Do you think I know you well? Come to my house to make trouble, and keep those two women in your family under control. If they dare to cause trouble once, I will beat you up. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand." Damn it, we didn't do it, why are you hitting us? We are innocent!
The two brothers of the Zhou family returned home with bruised faces and noses. When they saw their mother and sister, the two culprits, their mother couldn't move, so the two brothers teamed up to beat Zhou Hui, making her cry for her parents.
After beating Zhou Hui, Zhou Zhong turned to Old Lady Zhou and said, "Mom, don't mess with Zhou Yi anymore. He wouldn't hit you, but would he hit us? He's been adopted by Second Uncle, and he's not close to us. Don't you have any idea what's going on? You're so nervous about taking over his family's job. Do you think they're stupid? And He Fangfang's job has already been sold. Don't waste your time on it."
"That's my job, why should I sell it?" Zhou Hui shouted excitedly when she heard that her job was sold.
"Give you back your job? I've given you face, but you're just his cousin at best. If he doesn't take you seriously, you're nothing." Zhou Zhong got furious when he saw his mother and sister. These two were such a nuisance and a drag on his career. If it weren't for them, how could he still not be able to get married?
"Mom, do you want to see my brother and I never get married in our lifetime? If so, just keep doing it and make a name for yourself." Then he went back to the room without even looking at them.
Old Mrs. Zhou burst into tears: "..." I also want my family to live a better life, why do you all blame me.
"Mom, you must help me. I want He Fangfang's job. I don't want to go to the countryside. Let's go and ask my second brother for help, okay?" Zhou Hui said crying. Unfortunately, the old lady Zhou thought of what her eldest son had just said and did not agree to her.
Early the next morning, He Fangfang took Zhou Yi, who was carrying gifts, to the dining hall of the state-owned restaurant, said goodbye to everyone, and then gave each person a portion of dried squid that Zhou Yi brought back, which made everyone very happy.
Because although this is in the south, it is not near the sea, so it is difficult to eat squid.
He Fangfang pulled Jiang Shushu aside and said, "Shushu, your brother-in-law found a house. Do you think it's suitable? Your brother-in-law has a comrade-in-arms whose parents are no longer with us. He also wants to bring his wife and children to join the army this year. Your brother-in-law called and asked. His house is for sale. It has a private entrance and yard, and it's about 80 square meters in total. It has two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. It's quite close to the east of the State-owned Hotel, only a 15-minute walk. But there's one thing: they have to live there until mid-October when they go to join the army, and then they'll sell the house. What do you think?"
What do you think? Of course it's great! It's a private house with its own door and yard, where else can you find one? And it's so close to my workplace.
