Although Teacher Ding has no children, the old lady is her life. The two have depended on each other for so many years. Even when life was difficult, she never thought of abandoning the old lady. She would consider Gu Weiqiang, provided that she did not dislike Gu Weiqiang.
Another point is exactly the same as Gu Weiqiang, that is, when she goes out to teach, the old lady at home can only be locked in the house alone. She is not worried about anything outside, but there is no way. The old lady is not willing to go to Secretary Ding's place at all, and she is even more unwilling to see her old friends.
But An An and the others are different. In all these years, except for Xiao Xiao, Teacher Ding has never seen the old lady like a child so much. So when she saw the old lady with a satisfied smile on her face at the Gu family, Teacher Ding's heart softened a little. She and Gu Weiqiang are both adults, and they are also half-buried. Future spouses? It's okay to not hate each other and trust each other. The most important thing is that the children and the elderly have to live comfortably.
Teacher Ding pondered, "Master Gu, I will consider what you said."
This is already her biggest concession. Gu Weiqiang was so happy when he heard this! Isn't this another step forward?
An An was originally feeding grandma soup. When she heard Teacher Ding's softening voice, she immediately put the bowl on the table, leaned over and whispered something in grandma's ear. Grandma raised her eyes and looked at Teacher Ding and Master Gu with a smile. She said kindly, "Hongmei and Master Gu are a perfect match standing together." The
fact that she was talking about Hongmei meant that grandma was sober at this time. Since she said this, it meant that she really didn't regard Teacher Ding as her daughter-in-law, but as her own daughter.
When grandma was conscious sometimes, she was always worried about teacher Ding. Which daughter-in-law could do this? She was filial to her all her life, remained faithful to her son for so many years, and took care of her until her old age. Teacher Ding was worried about grandma, but grandma was always worried about teacher Ding! She was afraid that she would not live for many more years, and when she died, what would happen to Hongmei when she was old and alone?
She was a lucky girl, with Hongmei taking care of her until her old age. But when it was Hongmei's turn, Xiaoxiao disappeared early in the morning. When Hongmei got old and sick, she could only lie in bed, and there was no one to bring her water.
When people get old, they naturally understand the hardships of a person. Grandma is
more worried than anyone about what will happen to Teacher Ding alone in the future. Now that An An's family has appeared, Grandma is relieved. Teacher Gu is a reliable person, and An An and Dong Dong Jiang Jiang are kind and filial. In the future, Hongmei can count on them to support her in her old age.
Although grandma is old and her eyes are blurry, her heart is very bright. She took Teacher Ding's hand and said earnestly, "Hongmei! Although mom is your mother-in-law, we have depended on each other for so many years. It is not an exaggeration to say that we are real mother and daughter. Now that I see you have a good man, mom is happier than anyone else. Even if I die in the future, I will smile when I go to the underworld." If Hongmei is still alone and miserable when she goes to the underworld, she will die with her eyes open!
These are the words from the bottom of her heart. Although grandma is Teacher Ding's mother-in-law, considering the angle of the matter, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the biological mother.
Teacher Ding's eyes were red, she tightly squeezed grandma's hand, "Mom, I know!", she couldn't say anything else except "I know". The old lady treated her as her own daughter, so why didn't she treat the old lady as her own mother?
An An couldn't stand such a sentimental situation, which made her eyes a little hot. She bumped into her dazed old father. Gu Wei Qiang immediately came back to his senses and said, "Grandma, please hand Hongmei to me, I will definitely treat her well." Treating her well is the highest promise that Gu Wei Qiang can make. If he marries Teacher Ding, he will naturally fulfill his husband's responsibilities, treat her well, and protect her. Of course, the old lady is their elder, and he will take the old lady with him.
Grandma smiled, and her eyes softened a little when she looked at Gu Weiqiang. She took Gu Weiqiang's hand and put his hand on Teacher Ding's hand, saying kindly, "Yes! You have to love each other, and only then can you live a lifetime together." A pair of big hands covered Teacher Ding's hands. Teacher Ding felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to take her hands out, but Gu Weiqiang didn't give her a chance. He held her hands tightly and refused to let go.
How could the people around them not notice the confrontation between the two? An An smiled with pursed lips, "Teacher Ding, just obey my dad!" Being teased by a younger generation, Teacher Ding's face suddenly turned red, but it was covered with a thick layer of something, so it couldn't be seen from the outside.
Grandma followed, "Hongmei, go wash up and show your face to everyone." This is the truth. You have to strike while the iron is hot. No matter how good your own child is, she can't stand this kind of dressing. It scares away all men. In Grandma's heart, women! You have to be strong in your heart, but you still have to look like a woman on the outside. Only in this way will men love you. Otherwise, why do they say that women are water!
Grandma has lived a lifetime. Although she didn't say those big truths, her heart was very open. She subtly guided Teacher Ding to dress herself up. Since she was going to be someone's wife, she had to look like a wife.
Teacher Ding hesitated for a moment, and Gu Weiqiang smiled innocently, "Hongmei, go ahead, we all want to see it!" Fortunately, Gu Weiqiang had the brains to not call Ding Laojue, otherwise the good atmosphere would be ruined, and Teacher Ding would be mad at this fool.
An An followed, "Teacher Ding, go wash your face, I've wanted to see it for a long time!" Although Jiang Jiang and Dong Dong didn't say anything, their bright eyes were like spotlights, staring at Teacher Ding.
So many people said it, Teacher Ding naturally didn't refuse, and directly took a basin of hot water from the stove, took a towel, and washed her face inside and out. After coming out, she found that everyone was looking at her without saying a word.
Teacher Ding touched her face uncomfortably, uncertain, "Is it ugly?" She hadn't seen her appearance for many years, and was afraid of scaring the people in front of her.
"Not ugly! Very beautiful!" It was hard to imagine that this was said by a straight man like Gu Weiqiang. Because she hadn't seen the light for many years, Teacher Ding's skin was a little pale, but she was not as weak as other women. She was more heroic, with two thick eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and a pair of upturned eyes. She was a little fierce, and she had a sense of majesty without anger when she didn't smile, but when she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes became lively, less heroic, more gentle, and people felt a little happy when they saw her.
Appearance is determined by the heart, that's all.
To An An, Teacher Ding and Tang Lanzhi look completely different. Tang Lanzhi is the kind of gentle, delicate and weak girl that everyone likes nowadays. You can tell from Gu Wanwan that Gu Wanwan's temperament and appearance are really like Tang Lanzhi, which is simply a smaller version.
Teacher Ding does not have that kind of gentleness, but is replaced by a heroic spirit, but with the same outstanding facial features. If An An really wants to describe the difference between the two, then the cheap mother is like the lady from the ancient times who never leaves the house and only cries when encountering something.
Teacher Ding is indeed the kind of woman born to a military general, a female general who can accompany her man to the battlefield at any time. If something happens, she will rush to the front regardless of everything, just to support the people she cares about.
An An's description was correct. Teacher Ding was indeed this kind of person. Otherwise, when Ding Houshan was not around, she would not have taken on the responsibility alone, disguised herself as a man and supported her grandmother alone to gain a foothold in Taisong County. She made her colleagues give her a thumbs up and the students respect her at school. All of this was caused by Teacher Ding's character. She was unyielding in her bones. With her great spirit, her shoulders could support a family.
An An suddenly felt that she should mourn for her old father for half a minute. With Teacher Ding's temper, there might be two emperors in their family. Who would listen to her in the future?
At the moment when An An was distracted, Teacher Ding was praised by Gu Weiqiang. Her pale face was abnormally flushed, and her heroic spirit faded a little. She had the coquettishness of a little woman. An An finally understood that a strong woman would put away all her sharpness in front of a man she liked, and look at the friendship in the eyes of the two.
An An was really happy, and was happy that her father had found such a good man. She crisply shouted, "Mom!" Strike while the iron is hot, which is what An An is like. An An didn't know that her "Mom" made Teacher Ding's body freeze instantly, and then the tears fell like beads with a broken string. How many years have passed! She had never heard the word "Mom" before. Since Xiaoxiao passed away, she wanted to hear it in her dreams!
Dongdong and Jiangjiang also echoed, "Mom!" The three children called Teacher Ding over and over again. Teacher Ding couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears, but her face was happy. She responded, "Hey, you are all good children!" Grandma beside her also smiled with a kind face, "Call Grandma!" The old woman was jealous! Obviously, the children only called Teacher Ding and not themselves, and Grandma was not happy!
An An walked to Grandma, stood behind the chair, pressed Grandma's shoulders, and crisply said, "Grandma!", replacing Grandma with Grandma. Grandma was so happy! She reached into her pocket and fumbled for a long time with trembling hands, and took out a pair of gold earrings. She handed them to An An and said, "Here! Remember to bring them with you when you get married." This was considered a change of name fee. Grandma's family was well-off back then. Before her husband's family, the Ding family, went bankrupt, they were a well-known wealthy family in the area.
Although it was broken, she still had a lot of good things in her hands. Some of them were secretly pawned on the black market, and some of them she would not pawn no matter how difficult it was, even if she was hungry, such as the pair of gold earrings she gave to An An. Don't underestimate this pair of gold earrings. They look only a little big, but there is a complete phoenix carved inside and outside the gold earrings. They were carved purely by hand by the master, which is different from the machine carving in later generations. You can imagine how difficult it is. The lost craftsmanship is even more precious than this little gold.
At least grandma dares to say that these days! The craftsmanship passed down by our ancestors in the early years has long been lost and no one knows where it has gone.
The gold earrings were given to her by her husband when she got married when she was young. No one knows how long they have been passed down from generation to generation. It is said that the earliest ones came from the Qing Dynasty and were passed down from generation to generation in the Ding family. Originally, it was a complete set, with a gold bracelet and a gold ring, but the other two were lost when they suffered a disaster in the early years. The gold ring was pawned when she was unable to eat with Xiaoxiao.
This pair of gold earrings was kept by grandma for many years. Even if she was hungry, she was reluctant to pawn them. They were intended for Xiaoxiao as a dowry, but Xiaoxiao must have lost them after so many years.
Grandma had been disappointed for so many times that she gave these gold earrings to An'an.
An An fell in love with the pair of gold earrings at first sight. It’s not that gold is valuable, but she is not very picky. As for gold earrings, there are so many of them on the counter on the first floor of her supermarket.
But none of them could compare to the craftsmanship of the pair of gold earrings in front of her, which had an ancient and heavy feel, yet were delicate. Although she wanted them very much, they were too expensive, so she waved her hand, "Grandma, I can't have them."
Grandma was a little angry, and kept holding out her hand. Teacher Ding next to her had returned to normal after the initial shock. No one knew better than her what the pair of gold earrings meant to the old lady. For countless days, every time the old lady missed her father-in-law, she would take them out to look at them. When she missed Xiaoxiao, she would still take them out to look at them. This was Grandma's spiritual support.
It is said that this pair of earrings was given to Grandma by her useless father-in-law. The old lady has remembered it for so many years. Even though life was hard, she was reluctant to give it to Xiaoxiao to pay back the money. She always said that she would keep it for Xiaoxiao to use as a dowry when she got married. Now that the old lady can give this pair of treasures to An'an, she must have come out of this. In other words, the old lady regards An'an as more important than this pair of earrings.
This pair of earrings is the lifeblood of the old lady, but now it is more important to An'an than her lifeblood. Teacher Ding feels more and more that marrying Master Gu is not a bad thing, but a good thing.
She comforted him softly, "An An, please accept it! This is a gift from the old lady. If you don't accept it, the old lady will be angry." An An looked at his old father for help. Gu Wei Qiang waved his hand and said, "Please accept it! This is a gift from your grandma. When I make money in the future, I will buy you and your mother a lot of gold earrings!" The man's thinking is very simple. Isn't it just a pair of gold earrings? In the future, he will work hard to make money and buy a pair for the old man, children, and wife in the family. There is no need to be so entangled.
An An and Teacher Ding looked at each other with a bit of a laugh, but Grandma smiled and said, "When Xiao Gu makes money in the future, buy them for An An and Hong Mei, and I, an old lady
, will not have to worry about it." Gu Weiqiang said seriously, "No, in the future, every woman in our family will have a pair, and no one can escape."
These words made Grandma happy, and she felt that Xiao Gu was a reliable person, and it would be right to marry Hong Mei to him.
Since it has come to this, An An did not delay and put away the earrings directly. Jiang Jiang looked at her sister so happy, and silently remembered in her heart that her sister likes jewelry, especially shiny jewelry.
While he was deep in thought, he didn't notice that Dongdong also glanced at him, as if thinking about something. Jiang Jiang must have discovered something new and deliberately didn't tell him. How annoying! ! It's
always like this. After discovering her sister's hobby before him, she would go to please her sister privately, making him always a step behind. After all
this trouble, wouldn't the food get cold?
An An wanted to go to the kitchen to heat up the food, but her old father went first. She volunteered to show off in front of her future daughter-in-law.
An An didn't hesitate and let her father show off! Only after they showed off well, Teacher Ding would enter their house.
Unlike her father who was open-minded, An An thought more. She said seriously, "Teacher Ding, when will your identity be restored?" If her identity is not restored, she can't be her stepmother. If her identity is restored, this group will definitely explode.
So, this is a dilemma.
When An An mentioned this, Teacher Ding was also a little worried. Although the two of them had established a friendship, this reality was in front of them and they had to deal with it. She smiled bitterly, "I haven't thought of a way yet. I'll think about it when I go back tonight."
Gu Weiqiang directly brought the stove into the main room with a pot. The dishes cooked before were all cold and they would definitely not taste good if they were heated up again. So he simply prepared the stove and they could just eat a pot.
Hearing what Teacher Ding said, Gu Weiqiang was curious, "What are you thinking?"
Since Teacher Ding had accepted Gu Weiqiang from the bottom of his heart, he was also frank at this time, with a pair of heroic eyebrows slightly frowned, "My identity, the identity of Teacher Ding that I am now pretending to be, is a man's." Gu Weiqiang's face fell immediately. Of course, his future wife's identity is still a man! If this identity issue is not resolved, there will be a lot of trouble in the future.
He added water to the pot, but his mind became more flexible, "Can you directly announce your identity as a woman?"
An An also thought that this method was feasible. The truth could not be hidden, so she had to tell everyone. Teacher Ding shook her head, "No, my gender is all male in my information. When the school hired me, it was also a male teacher Ding. And the union also has my file. If my identity is exposed, it will become a scam." In order to make a living and for the old lady, she had to disguise herself as a man and take on this identity.
And there is another point. If she announced her identity, Ding Houshan's death would be talked about again. She didn't want Houshan to be honest all his life. The only problem was that she would take on his identity and manipulate this fox-cat-for-the-prince trick. She didn't want Houshan to go underground and be talked about by people.
They said he abused his power and gave out the quota at will.
Even if Teacher Ding has brought up many excellent students, this one thing can completely destroy the reputation of both of them. After she gets married, An An and her family will become the topic of conversation among the children in this area.
This is human nature. As long as you are not doing well, we are happy to see it. An An and his family are living a prosperous life. Teacher Ding is raising an old man alone, and their life is much better than that of ordinary neighbors. This is their biggest sin. Whoever makes them live better than others is the original sin.
After Teacher Ding said this, An An's newly-excited thoughts also faded. She was a little depressed. She couldn't do this or that. She felt a little restrained. Teacher Ding patted An An's shoulder and comforted her, "It's okay. We've been through so many years. These two days won't make a difference. There is always a way." A living person can't be suffocated to death by urine. The last sentence was a little rude, and Teacher Ding swallowed it.
An An nodded and said coquettishly, "But I want you to be my mother as soon as possible!" This was the truth.
Teacher Ding was a little moved. He was moved by An An's sincere heart. Which child would not cry and refuse to let the stepmother in when hearing that his father was going to find a stepmother for him? But in An An's case, he really rushed to let her in.
Teacher Ding sighed, "I don't know how many lifetimes of blessings I have accumulated to meet your family." That's right! She suffered too much in the first half of her life, but when she got old, God gave her blessings.
An An smiled, "That's because you are a good person! Right, Dad!" Gu Weiqiang, who was suddenly named, was busy with his work with his head down! He kept saying, "Yes, yes, yes, Ding Laojue is a good person." Otherwise, he wouldn't be so compatible with Ding Laojue. Although he has a stubborn temper, he is upright in his heart. One is one, two is two, OK! It was obviously a compliment. Gu Weiqiang was so excited that he was a little lost. The three words Ding Laojue came out again.
An An mourned for her father for one minute.
Sure enough, Teacher Ding's face was stiff for a moment, but she returned to normal. It was really because of Master Gu's temper and his incoherent words. She should have known it a long time ago.
An An secretly slapped her father on the face and made a face, "Dad, please speak more next time."
Teacher Ding saw the little actions of the father and daughter. She called out, "Jiang Jiang, take out the first-grade books you borrowed, and I'll give you some latest knowledge." Of course, if you want to re-cook the pot, you have to pour the previous pork ribs soup into it, and then heat it up to cook it. It will take a while. Teacher Ding has been dedicated to her work all her life. Even at home, she can't be idle. Teacher Gu is cooking and she can't help. It is better for her to let the children review their homework more and take easier routes and fewer detours in the future. This is also her best effort.
An An suddenly felt that there was a downside to letting Teacher Ding come to their house in the future, that is, he would review the homework as soon as they disagreed. Oh my God! It was terrible. He didn't even let go of the ten minutes before dinner. She seemed to see her future path from Jiang Jiang.
Jiang Jiang was different from An An. When she was asked to teach him some knowledge points, the child was very well-behaved. Without any hesitation, he went straight into the house, took out the textbook, handed it to Teacher Ding, and quickly entered the state. That was because this child understood better than anyone that the opportunity to study was hard-won, and in Jiang Jiang's eyes, Teacher Ding explained arithmetic problems better than their arithmetic teacher.
It’s not that Jiang Jiang’s math teacher is not a good teacher, but that Jiang Jiang’s math teacher has to consider the overall situation. There are dozens of students in a class, and everyone’s learning abilities vary. It’s difficult for the teacher to grasp the right pace. For students with good academic performance and quick thinking, his progress is too slow. For students with poor academic performance, his progress is too fast. On the contrary, the ordinary students in the middle are the mainstream.
Jiang Jiang is one of the students with good grades and quick thinking. He thinks the teacher's progress is too slow. Teacher Ding is different. This is a one-on-one teaching. Teacher Ding knows Jiang Jiang's level and upper limit very well. It is not an exaggeration to say that she knows Jiang Jiang like the back of her hand. She has formulated a plan suitable for Jiang Jiang for tutoring.
This is why Jiang Jiang feels that he feels particularly comfortable every time Teacher Ding gives him a lecture.
This is also the result of Teacher Ding's hard work in the back. He formulated a one-on-one plan. When Teacher Ding was lecturing Jiang Jiang, he did not leave out An An and instructed, "An An, when I come over in the evening, I will test your latest knowledge points. You should read it carefully during the day." Don't think that you can relax at home after taking a leave, no no no! Of course it's impossible, not in this life.
The lesson plan that Teacher Ding gave An An has a little more knowledge than what she taught today. If An An can understand this, she will have a solid foundation for arithmetic this semester.
An An cried, "I know, Teacher Ding." An An pointed at Dong Dong, "Teacher Ding, Dong Dong, you haven't checked yet!" Dong Dong, who was reciting a thick note, looked up in confusion, wondering why his sister was calling him!
He put down his letter, wondering, "Sister?"
Teacher Ding understood An'an's little tricks, she laughed, "Dongdong, you continue to recite." After that, she looked at An'an, "Among the three of you, Dongdong has the heaviest homework! Don't bother him, just pick up your part."
That's right, among the three children, Teacher Ding focused on An'an and Jiang Jiang, and let Dongdong go. As long as Dongdong could maintain a score of 95 in arithmetic class, she would not find trouble with the child. At most, she would string together the knowledge points for Dongdong to ensure that he would not lose points in the future exams. Don't expect him to learn too much. After all, Dongdong's full attention is on traditional Chinese medicine. She has heard of Mr. Li mentioned by An'an. It is a great fortune for Dongdong to be accepted as an apprentice by Mr. Li.
Okay! The whole family was busy, including grandma, busy peeling pumpkin seeds for An An!
Only Gu Weiqiang was working like a workhorse, making the pot for everyone. Fortunately, he was pretty fast. An An had just taken out her lesson plan book and finished a question when the aroma of the pot filled the air, so she couldn't concentrate on her work.
She immediately threw away her lesson plan and called out, "Grandma, Teacher Ding, it's time to eat!" As for Dongdong and Jiangjiang, they ran to the kitchen without being called and put the dishes and chopsticks in order.
An'an helped Grandma sit in the seat of honor. Grandma was no longer as energetic as before, and it was obvious that she was a little sick. Although she didn't know anyone, she was obedient. She did whatever An'an said, just like a child, sitting in the seat of honor without moving, just squinting her eyes and smiling, showing her missing front teeth, "There are delicious foods!" Obviously, Grandma also saw the table full of steaming pots.
An An took the bowl with a smile and picked a piece of pork ribs with fat for grandma. The pork ribs had been cooked for a long time, and the meat had softened. With some fat, grandma could eat it, but she picked it for grandma, while Teacher Ding picked it for An An.
Gu Wei Qiang grinned when he saw this scene, and he was so happy in his heart! He said that choosing Ding Laojue was always right. Looking at this scene, it was the right choice. Although Ding Laojue had a bad temper, if he recognized someone, he would be wholeheartedly good to that person. You can see it by looking at An An.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal. In the afternoon, Teacher Ding went to school, leaving Grandma to go home alone and lock the door. To be honest, An An was not at all worried, so she simply left Grandma at her own home. When they landed today, the three of them took leave, so there was someone at home to chat with Grandma, at least it was warm and noisy.
Gu Weiqiang went out with Teacher Ding, but they separated after leaving the compound. Teacher Ding went to school, while Gu Weiqiang went to the transport team. He was released after that incident, and he didn't have time to go to the transport team.
Look! He made time this afternoon, and on the way there, Gu Weiqiang felt so happy! In his opinion, it won't be long before he can have a wife and children, which is a great blessing in life. He said that this accident was not all bad, at least he got a wife and his children a complete home.
Gu Weiqiang was grinning from ear to ear along the way. When he met his colleagues, he greeted them cheerfully. However, Gu Weiqiang was so absorbed in his own work that he didn't notice that the way his old colleagues looked at him was not right, and some even avoided him. Although Gu Weiqiang felt that something was wrong, he didn't take it to heart and made an excuse for his colleagues. After all, such a big thing happened in their transport team a few days ago.
It was understandable that everyone was cautious, but when he went to the transport team's office, he realized something was wrong. In the past, their leader Zhou Wenhua usually sat here, and Master Wang, as the team leader, would also have a small table next to him.
If there was no cargo to deliver, the leader would usually wander around the office with a cup of tea, and Master Wang would carry a chess board and play chess with him, but today, neither of them was in the office, and the cluttered items on the table were all tidied up.
This was quite abnormal! When he came, he saw that all the cars in the compound were parked well, which meant that there was no cargo running today, and everyone should be quite free, but there was no one in the office.
Gu Weiqiang suppressed his suspicion and looked around, but he didn't expect that a person came out from behind the chair. It was Lu Ping, and he was sitting in the position of the leader. Gu Weiqiang was really surprised. He asked, "Lu Ping, why are you here?" He also learned from An An that their transport team and he would suffer this disaster. Lu Ping was the direct murderer. According to Gu Weiqiang's estimation, Lu Ping could not survive in the transport team!
But now, contrary to his usual behavior, not only did he not leave, but he became the leader.
Lu Ping did not answer, but pointed at the stool and called out, "Brother Gu, sit down!"
Gu Wei Qiang pulled out a chair and sat down. He was calm now. He asked, "Where are the boss and Master Wang?" This is the most important thing. The boss's position has been unshakable for so many years. And Master Wang is the second in command of the entire transport team. However, the two soul figures of the transport team are not here. It's no wonder that Gu Wei Qiang thought too much.
It seemed that after experiencing the last incident, the sunny young man disappeared all of a sudden, and was replaced by a gloomy young man. Lu Ping raised his eyelids, pushed the document on the desk to Gu Wei Qiang, and said in a deep voice, "Take a look?"
After taking the document, Gu Wei Qiang felt as if he was struck by lightning. He looked at the dismissal letter in front of him, and all the blood in his body flowed back, and even some of it coagulated. Gu Wei Qiang asked himself that he had been in the transport team for so many years and had never done anything that was not conducive to the transport team. On the contrary, half of the people in this transport team had received his favor. It was obviously a light piece of paper, but in Gu Wei Qiang's hand it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
It took him a while to come back to his senses. He put the dismissal letter back. His trembling wrist slowly calmed down. He said in a deep voice, "Lu Ping, what do you mean? Where is the boss? Where is Master Wang?? I want to question them. I, Gu Wei Qiang, have been in the transport team for nearly 20 years and have never done anything out of line. Why are you expelling me?" It was obvious that Gu Wei Qiang was very angry. When he spoke, he didn't even realize that he was holding his breath in his throat and his voice was a little hoarse.
Lu Ping was not surprised by Gu Weiqiang's reaction. He took the dismissal letter, took a look at it, and then pointed to the place where he signed his agreement. "As the head of the transport team, I have the right to fire anyone in the transport team, including you, Gu Weiqiang, and even Master Wang and Zhou Wenhua."
After what happened, Gu Weiqiang's mood had stabilized. Since he had a dismissal letter, he had completely lost his job. Even so, he still didn't give up. "Is it because of what happened last time? It was obviously you who ruined the transport team, how come it ended up like this?"
Lu Ping finally couldn't pretend anymore. He stood up and slammed the office door shut. He held his head and rubbed it hard, suppressing himself, "Brother Gu, I can't do it! It's not me! It's Zhang Dong. He pushed me to take control of the transport team and marginalized you all, especially you. He drove you out of the transport team completely, leaving you with no place to stand in the entire Taisong County."
After all, he was a young man in his early twenties. During this period of time, this series of events had weighed down Lu Ping's shoulders so much that he couldn't lift them. He even had the idea of committing suicide, but he couldn't even die. Now he and Zhang Dong were a grasshopper on a rope. If he died, his parents would have a worse life.
Gu Weiqiang had calmed down completely by now. He said calmly, "So you just gave in to Zhang Dong half-heartedly??"
Lu Ping squatted on the ground and nodded painfully.
