Chapter 102 Broken Leg



Chapter 102 Broken Legs

In the afternoon, they made dumplings, with leeks and eggs as fillings, and cabbage, tofu and dried shrimp as fillings. After cooking the dumplings, Old Lady Jiang personally went to deliver them to her son.

"If you had a wife, you could eat dumplings every day."

Jiang Weidong: "My father and my brother don't eat dumplings every day either."

Old Lady Jiang was so angry that she wanted to snatch the dumplings back. "Don't eat them!"

Jiang Weidong hurriedly raised the dumpling bowl, "You're right, very right."

At noon, when Lin Xia came back from work, Old Lady Jiang asked her to deliver another bowl to the secretary's home.

Anyway, they made a lot of dumplings.

Several leaders ate dumplings in the secretary's office.

The factory director: "Well, the leek and egg ones are very fresh. They are all leek and eggs, why do they taste so good? The cabbage stuffing ones don't have pork. Oh, what a pity. Weidong, why don't you go to the kitchen to get some pork for your wife?"

Director Hu: "It's delicious without meat. There are dried shrimps and scallion oil in it. It's very fresh."

The factory director ate it and it was indeed very fresh and sweet.

It's strange. He always felt that the cabbage dumplings made by his wife tasted like crying, and the ones made by the kitchen were just so-so.

This time it tasted very good.

Well, Lin Shu had already sent him Sichuan-style kimchi alone, but he was reluctant to take it because he was afraid that others would snatch it away from him.

The factory director began to talk about Qian Lisheng.

He had to help Lin Shu achieve her wish.

Besides, female electricians like Lin Xia were rare, but pliers like Qian Lisheng were in great demand.

Director Hu was eating happily, but when he heard Qian Lisheng's name, he frowned, as if he had lost his appetite, and said unhappily, "Let him go to the Huangxian branch."

The secretary did not express his opinion on matters related to production.

Jiang Weidong also nodded in agreement.

A few people decided on Qian Lisheng's destination in a few words.

The factory director and Fu Guihua invited Qian Lisheng and Qian's mother to the office for a talk.

Qian Lisheng has been very lazy these days and has not been serious about his work. The leaders are very dissatisfied with this.

Compared with Master Lin, Qian Lisheng's performance is too poor.

Qian's mother has returned to the factory...to work.

She is old and has not worked for several years. She is lazy every day. She can't bear to go to work suddenly.

Fortunately, the factory did not assign her heavy work, but just asked her to go to the warehouse to sort parts and help out. Anyone can do it.

She is still very dissatisfied, because she only has a salary of 25 yuan now, not the previous 28, not to mention Lin Xia's 42.

And she is old, sitting on the ground easily makes her dizzy, and she is very uncomfortable when working.

In addition, the younger daughter-in-law is pregnant and wants her to go over to take care of her.

The old man's legs and feet are not very good. After giving the job to his youngest son, he fishes and listens to the radio every day. He doesn't do anything anymore. It's impossible for him to help take care of his young daughter-in-law. The whole family is

waiting for Qian's mother to come and take care of them.

How can she have time to take care of them when she is working now?

If she doesn't go, the young daughter-in-law will be dissatisfied, the youngest son will be unhappy, and the old man will also have opinions.

The whole family blames her.

She feels so aggrieved in her heart that she can't help but complain to Qian Lisheng again.

"Forget it, let's not argue with a country girl like her. As long as she comes back, I don't want the money, but I will give her the job as usual."

"As long as she lives a good life with you, mom will give in to her in the future, and even... it's up to her whether she has children or not."

Both mother and son feel that as long as the man doesn't give in, Lin Xia can't get a divorce, and the director of the women's department can't mediate.

When they arrived at the office, Qian's mother was still in a state of disdain, and she shouted, "How was the mediation? Is she willing to apologize? As long as she changes her bad habits, we in the Qian family will be tolerant and won't bother with her."

Fu Guihua said unhappily, "The divorce certificate has been issued, what are you tolerant of?"

Qian's mother was startled and immediately became anxious, "What divorce certificate? My son didn't agree!"

Qian Lisheng was also angry and anxious, "On what basis? You want to divorce us without my consent?"

The factory director slammed the table and said angrily, "What are you shouting about? Do you have the right to shout here? You have done a good thing yourself and you still have the nerve to shout?"

He took out two test reports and said contemptuously, "If you don't have the brains, don't learn those crooked ways. Let me tell you, this is the test report that the factory leader nodded and asked to go to the hospital to get."

Qian Lisheng's face turned pale.

When Mrs. Jiang exposed him in public, he retreated to advance, creating a situation that he loved Lin Xia deeply, and in order not to offend her, he was discouraged and discredited that he could not have children.

Seeing that Mrs. Jiang did not produce any evidence, he felt that Jiang Weidong did not dare to intensify the conflict, and maybe Dr. Sui was also scared by him and did not dare to reveal his secrets casually.

What he wanted was to quickly win back Lin Xia. As long as the couple reconciled, nothing else would be a problem.

How could she know that Lin Xia was determined not to reconcile with him, and even sang the same tune with her sister to humiliate him.

Now they actually went to the hospital to get the test results. Lin Xia, Lin Shu, Jiang Weidong, and Dr. Sui, you are really going too far!

The doctor dared to reveal his secret casually, and he would not let that wicked doctor go!

His face was dark and he gritted his teeth, "What is this for? Are you trying to force people to death? Are the doctors in the hospital so wicked?"

The director of the factory office said indifferently: "The factory reform committee has the power to investigate employees."

It is not illegal for you to falsify the test results, but it is problematic for you to affect the factory's production and the factory's judgment of your character.

Who knows if you are suitable to be a team leader? Promoted to deputy director? No background check?

The factory reform committee certainly has the power to investigate your problem.

Qian's mother immediately became angry and shouted, "Lisheng's problem has been cured, why are you still making trouble with this?"

The day before yesterday, she was scolded by Lin Shu and trembled all over. She went home to complain to Qian Lisheng and asked him what happened to the test report. Qian Lisheng said lightly that he had a minor problem and went to Qizhou to cure it.

Lin Xia still needs surgery, but he didn't even perform the surgery.

She didn't believe that her daughter-in-law was really cured because she had surgery in the hospital, but she believed her son's random lie.

The factory director said, "Qian Lisheng, I don't care who you are trying to deceive, but the fact that you have lied is true, and it is a stain on your character. Comrade Lin Xia did not take the opportunity to ask for your punishment. She just hopes that you will stop pestering her, and don't go out and distort the facts of the divorce and spread rumors. Otherwise, they will publish a clarification in the newspaper, ask the police to intervene, and the factory leaders will punish you!"

Qian's mother felt like she was hit on the head with a stick, "Why don't you let people say it?" What are you talking about? Our Lisheng has been cured, what are you still talking about with the past test report? We are going to sue them for spreading rumors!"

Factory Office Director "Qian Lisheng, according to the production arrangement of the factory, the factory wants you to go to the Huangxian branch to train an apprentice, and you will leave next Monday."

Qian Lisheng suddenly raised his head, "Is this the punishment given to me by the factory because of Lin Xia?"

The factory office director said sternly: "This is a personnel transfer, you must obey the arrangement!"

Qian's mother was still pestering about her son's recovery and Lin Shu's rumors.

Fu Guihua couldn't help it, "Do you dare to let Qian Lisheng go to the hospital for another test?"

Qian Lisheng certainly didn't dare, he immediately asked Qian's mother to stop making trouble.

Qian's mother came to her senses, it turned out that her son was really infertile? Go to the hospital to make false statements and deceive people? Lie to her?

She is his biological mother, why would he lie

to her? Tell her that he can't have children, then shouldn't she help him find a solution?

Thinking of how she scolded Lin Xia in public for bribing doctors to make false statements, her old face flushed red, hot and boiling.

She was not born a rogue, and she naturally felt ashamed and embarrassed because of her guilty conscience. She couldn't say anything more, so she quickly took the divorce certificate and left.

Qian Lisheng saw that all the evidence was taken back by Lin Shu, and she still went to the factory leader to complain. He was really...humiliated.

Thinking about the gossip about him that would spread around the factory in the future, whether men or women would point fingers at him, saying that he couldn't have children, that he was a liar, that he was a good-for-nothing, that he wasn't a real man...

His heart felt as cold as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.

He could hardly move an inch and couldn't leave the office, as if someone would point at his spine and scold him as soon as he went out .

I'm afraid that three-year-old children will laugh at him in the future: Qian Lisheng, a science student, no no no, Qian Lisheng, can't have children!

He couldn't raise his head or take a step, and he felt like he was being driven to death.

"Director, I, I'll go."

He was not happy when the factory leader signaled him to go to the branch factory before, but now he had no choice but to go.

He hoped to go to a new place where no one would know him, understand him, or know about his scars.

As soon as Qian Lisheng went to the branch factory, Lin Xia's pressure was greatly reduced and she was in a good mood.

Because the factory director and factory manager Jiang had spoken out, no matter men or women, employees or family members in the factory were allowed to talk about divorce.

Lin Xia was happy at work, and when she met Qian's mother, she just looked at her resentfully and turned away.

Seeing that her second sister's work was not affected and her life was easier, and that the factory leaders and Aunt Jiang were protecting her, Lin Shu was completely relieved.

She knew that Aunt Jiang was lonely, so she was very considerate and became Aunt Jiang's maid for a few days.

She taught Aunt Jiang and the canteen chef how to pickle Sichuan kimchi, fresh spicy cabbage, and Northeastern pickled cabbage.

The chef of the canteen said that these recipes were all secret recipes in the past, and most chefs would not pass them on casually. As a reward, he gave Lin Shu a cookbook that he had compiled himself, which contained recipes and ingredients for several secret medicinal dishes, main dishes, snacks, and braised meats.

Lin Shu did not refuse, and thanked her and happily accepted it.

She felt that it was almost time, so she said goodbye to Mrs. Jiang and her second sister at dinner that day.

The second sister knew that she had children at home, so she naturally did not try to keep her. Mrs. Jiang, however, was more reluctant to let her go than her second sister, and she cried while holding her hand.

"Good girl, don't laugh at me, you have to go home early, you have kids at home."

"I just envy you."

Lin Shu said to Lin Xia, "Second sister, come and accompany me every day."

Lin Xia agreed, and her relationship with Old Lady Jiang has improved rapidly in the past few days.

In the evening, the factory office received a call from Yao Naiwen, who was going to the commune tomorrow to ask if Lin Shu and her sister-in-law had left. If not, he would take them with him.

This was perfect.

Knowing that Lin Shu's sister-in-law was leaving, the factory director gave her some New Year's goods in the name of the factory as a thank you. After all, her pickles enriched the workers' tables. They no longer had to boil cabbage, radish and potatoes in salt water every day. Being able to taste different flavors was also an incentive for the workers.

Meat and white flour are the best these days.

The factory director gave her 30 kilograms of white flour, 5 kilograms of spare ribs, and 2 kilograms of pork belly.

In addition, there were some dried mushrooms, fungus, etc., which filled a bag.

Anyway, there is a car to deliver, so there is no need to worry about not being able to take it.

Lin Shu thanked him enthusiastically, "This is a great bargain. When the production team makes vermicelli, I will send some to the director."

The production team would also make sweet potato vermicelli in the last month, and you can eat it yourself and secretly exchange some money.

This year, the sweet potato harvest is great, and if they can't finish eating them, they will make more vermicelli.

Aunt Jiang also prepared things for Lin Shu, including defective cloth bought from the textile factory, soap fragments from the chemical factory, and defective rubber soles bought from the shoe factory. These are better than what Lin Shu and her friends bought from the supply and marketing cooperative in the countryside.

When Yao Naiwen came to pick up the two sisters-in-law, he was stunned by those pockets.

Comrade Lin Shu is really...capable.

Look at how generous she is after being fooled by the leaders of the steel rolling mill.

After Lin Shu left, Aunt Jiang didn't let Lin Xia move out. She still let Jiang Weidong live in the dormitory, and she lived with Lin Xia.

That day, she came back from buying groceries. As soon as she entered the family compound, she saw Fu Xiumei and others surrounding Lin Xia, arguing about something. Old

Lady Jiang immediately rushed over and shouted angrily, "What are you doing? Who is bullying our Lin Xia?"

Everyone hurriedly said that no one was bullying her.

Someone explained, "Mrs. Qian fell down on the slippery road after work to buy groceries and broke her thigh. Master Qian went to the branch factory and no one took care of him. They said that Master Lin should take care of him."

Fu Xiumei caught Lin Shu and Mrs. Lu leaving and came back to life in an instant, "Master Lin should take care of him."

Old Lady Jiang looked at her like she was crazy, "You are so kind-hearted, why don't you go and serve him? Master Lin is divorced and has nothing to do with the Qian family!"

Fu Xiumei: "Wasn't she also the daughter-in-law of the Qian family before the divorce? Now that Aunt Qian is in trouble, shouldn't she help her?"

Mrs. Jiang: "You think she should? Then give me fifty yuan a month, and I'll Go and serve!"

Fu Xiumei: " Madam, why should I give you money?" Mrs.

Jiang: "Don't you think it should be done? You think the divorced Lin Xia should serve the Qian family, so why don't you support the Qian family if you are so enthusiastic?

His face turned red and he was speechless.

Someone said, "Let's call Master Qian's father and ask him to take care of us."

Fu Xiumei muttered, "We called Master Qian, and he said that his legs and feet were not good and he couldn't take care of us, so we asked Lin to come and take care of us." Master, please serve me."

Old Mrs. Jiang: Fuck him.

I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen such a shameless person.

Old Mrs. Jiang quickly took Lin Xia home to cook and eat.

Not long after, Father Qian sat down. He came over on a rickshaw, leaning on a cane, looking like he was old and useless. He had every reason to ask, because it was Lin Xia who took care of Qian's mother when she broke her leg, so she should take care of her

now.

I was stunned.

I've never seen such a shameless person, right?

But Mr. Qian thought it was natural because this was a family conflict, not a social conflict or a factory conflict.

Lin Xia relied on the Qian family to get to where she is today, so she should give back.

Mrs. Jiang: Oh,

how old are you ? What's going on? You're not even fifty-five.

Aren't you full of energy when you're fishing?

Why are you pretending?

The Qian family wants Lin Xia to serve Qian's mother, but Lin Xia thinks it's a dream. She's too lazy to scold.

Why don't you just go to the street and find someone to help you? Personal service?

See if he will slap you in the face?

But Father Qian acted like a rogue. He didn't go to the workshop to make a fuss. He just squatted in the family yard and cried for Lin Xia.

Some people just can't stand it. Why are you sitting here and putting pressure on your ex-daughter-in-law? Why can't you go and serve her yourself?

This cunning old man!

But he has no reason to be lazy, because he didn't go to the workshop to make trouble and didn't affect Production, he didn't beat or swear at anyone at home, and he didn't break the law. The leader's persuasion was useless.

He just cried there shamelessly, and you couldn't call the police to arrest him, right? But it

was really ugly and disgusting.

Taidu had no idea what to do with him.

Someone suggested calling Lin Shu to ask how to deal with him.

They were all looking forward to how Lin Shu would scold Qian's father, whether she could just scold him and beat him.

Old Mrs. Jiang said angrily: "Those who are afraid of being scolded are those who have dignity. What's the point of scolding a shameless old bitch?"

Old Mrs. Jiang asked Jiang Weidong to find a solution.

Jiang Weidong was also in a dilemma, and Qian's father did not affect production. , he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, he just looked at Lin Xia and nags her when he went to and from work, you can't arrest him, right?

The key is that he is a retired employee, a glorious old worker, you can't treat him violently.

This matter is really...

Finally, Jiang Weidong thought of a way and decisively asked Lin Xia to stay away temporarily. It would be meaningless for her to cry and make a fuss without Qian's father.

In the autumn, the Provincial Revolutionary Committee took the lead in organizing the power supply bureaus in various provinces and regions to carry out the activity of sending electricity to the countryside. The power supply bureau employees were not enough. Let major factories provide support manpower.

They needed technicians, workers to lay wires and erect poles, and skilled electricians.

The good thing was that the power supply bureau would pay the seconded personnel, and there was an additional 40% subsidy for going to the countryside.

Originally, Director Jiang did not want to take this job. , wanted to turn it down by saying that the production task of the steel mill was heavy, but now he thinks that Lin Xia is just right.

Anyway, the task of the steel mill at the end of the year and the beginning of the year is not heavy, so it is okay to go and provide support. The only downside is that going to the countryside will definitely be tiring and hard.

He took the initiative to find Lin Xia When asked for her opinion, Lin Xia agreed immediately.

After she agreed, she remembered that her third sister asked her to discuss things with Old Lady Jiang. She hesitated and said, "Director Jiang, I will discuss it with Old Lady Jiang."

Jiang Weidong laughed, "What does an old lady like her know?"

Lin Xia: "No, I will." Well, the old lady is old, well-read and knowledgeable. "

Besides, she and the old lady have a good relationship and she is reluctant to leave the old lady.

Sure enough, when Old Lady Jiang heard this, her first reaction was to feel sorry for her. This kind of work in the countryside It's just hard labor. Skilled masters are definitely not willing to go there. They send young men who can endure hardships to gain experience. It's not convenient for Lin Xia, a

woman, to do this kind of work in the countryside.

But... this seems to be an opportunity?

I called Lin Shu as soon as we discussed it.

I made an appointment call in the evening and received a call back from Lin Shu the next morning.

Lin Shu meant that it would be great to go to the power supply bureau to help, so of course I could go.

It is definitely tiring to go to the countryside, but being an electrician is always easier than laying lines. My second sister can do it.

The main reason is that the power supply bureau is a very popular unit even forty years later. If my second sister can stay in such a unit, then The future job is stable.

A female electrician in the power grid is more promising than a female electrician in a steel mill, right? My

second sister could only be the head electrician in the steel mill, but she would have more room for promotion after going to the power grid.

Lin Shu will not talk about the advantages of this. After all, her second sister is now an employee in a steel rolling mill. It is not easy for her to become a power grid employee. It depends on the opportunity.

Seeing that her third sister supported her, Lin Xia no longer had any concerns and immediately submitted her application. Jiang Weidong approved it directly and personally took it to the factory director and factory office to stamp and sign.

Then Lin Xia went to the power supply bureau to report.

When Lin Xia left, her ex-husband She was still crying and making a fuss downstairs in the family compound.

Qian's mother lay on the bed, not daring to move. She looked at the door with hope, hoping to see Lin Xia's tall figure.

The last time she broke her leg, Lin Xia took good care of her.

She turned her over, wiped her body, rubbed her legs, and did everything for her. She didn't get any bedsores at all.

This time, only four or five days later, she... peed on herself several times. She was soaking wet every day, but she didn't even drink a few sips of water a day.

A broken leg means she has to stay in bed for at least three months. How can she... endure this?

Qian Lisheng arrived at the Huangxian branch factory workshop. Although no one said to his face that he was lying or couldn't have children, he had a guilty conscience. Whenever someone whispered to him, he suspected that they were saying bad things about him. Whenever someone looked at him with an ambiguous look, he suspected that they were mocking him.

He was no longer as high-spirited as before. Instead, he was full of complaints and felt that he was extremely unlucky to be sent to the branch factory in the small county town.

He looked down on these bumpkin workers in the county town, and was reluctant to take on apprentices, and would curse them at every turn. Just

when he was feeling unhappy, his father called him, "Lisheng, your mother fell down at work and broke her thigh, and there is no one to take care of her."

Qian Lisheng realized, "Where is Lin Xia?"

His first reaction was that if something happened to his mother, Lin Xia should be the first to take care of her.

This has been the case in the family for the past few years.

When he was sick, Lin Xia was the first to take care of her, and when his mother was sick, Lin Xia was the first to take care of her.

Even if his mother usually helped his brother's wife, she would come to his house to let Lin Xia take care of her when she was sick.

He even had a twisted and dark hope that Lin Xia was so kind that she would definitely feel soft-hearted and distressed if his mother broke her leg, and she would definitely come back.

Qian's father complained, "She refused, saying that the divorce had nothing to do with her.

" Qian Lisheng became impatient, "That won't work. She has to take care of my mother even if we're divorced. She can't just ignore my mother."

Qian's father said angrily, "She is heartless and ungrateful. She's on a business trip to the provincial power supply bureau."

He asked Qian Lisheng to go back and take care of her.

Qian Lisheng: "Dad, I still have to go to work. You don't have to work anyway, so you should take care of her."

Qian's father: "My legs and feet are not good, you know that, how can I take care of her?"

Qian Lisheng: "Then I take care of her, I don't have to work? What will we eat at home?"

Qian's father began to worry again. His younger daughter-in-law was pregnant and his older daughter-in-law was divorced. He didn't know what to do.

He sighed and said, "Why do you have to get a divorce? Why can't you just endure it?"

Qian Lisheng: "Is it me who wants a divorce?"

Qian's father didn't say anything, just sighed.

Qian Lisheng asked Qian's father to go to work for Qian's mother and take care of her, or he would spend money to find an unemployed woman to take care of Qian's mother at home.

It seems that this is the only way.

After all, Lin Xia is avoiding them like the plague.

Qian Lisheng felt that he was so unlucky!

He resented Lin Xia's ruthlessness and Lin Shu for destroying his marriage, but Lin Shu, who was resented by him, didn't feel anything at all. Instead, she was busy and happy at home.

Zhang Sigu was not a matchmaker, but she was quite effective as a living advertisement. She introduced several clothing clients to Lin Shu.

It was winter now, and the New Year was coming soon. Who with some money wouldn't want to make new clothes to reward themselves after a busy year?

Lin Shu was making money and scraps of cloth, and was very busy.

On this day, Brother Lu came home excitedly and shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Mom, it's a big happy event. The commune is going to hold a commendation meeting. Our family is 100% an advanced family. I will lead the team. Let's all go!"
