Chapter 97: Fraud

Qian Lisheng and Lin Xia were arguing about their divorce, so many workers came to see the excitement. The canteen couldn't sell the food, so they reported it to the leader.

Jiang Weidong hurried to inquire.

When they came, the place was surrounded by people.

Jiang Weidong saw his mother, an old lady, pulling Lin Xia, her eyes glowing like a 100-watt light bulb at night, and he immediately felt a headache.

Mom, why are you interfering in the divorce? Aren't you causing trouble for your son?

The women's director squeezed in and forced everyone to leave. She said to Lin Xia sternly: "Comrade Lin Xia, I have to criticize you for this matter. I have to talk to you about it. You said that most of our women comrades work during the day and take care of children at night. They work day and night. How can you divorce them just like that?"

Lin Xia wondered: "Director, what does my divorce have to do with most of the women comrades?"

Besides, the women comrades are so hard-working, you should blame their men, why should you blame me?

The women's director said earnestly: "They are so hard-working and they haven't divorced. You don't have anything to do every day. You don't have to take care of children or serve your parents-in-law. Your mother-in-law comes to help you. Why do you want to divorce when you have such a good life?" The women's

director talked about it, with one central idea, that divorce is not allowed, and it will have a bad impact.

It is not conducive to the stability of the majority of women, the stability of the majority of men, and the majority of...

Jiang Weidong could not stand it any longer. "Director Fu, let's stick to the facts and don't expand the scope."

Old Mrs. Jiang was even more unhappy. "Okay, you leaders can talk about your own things. I'll let my daughter stay at my house for two days."

She took Lin Xia and walked out.

Qian Lisheng had been helped up. His face was gray and he looked bored. "Lin Xia!"

Lin Xia turned to Old Mrs. Jiang and said, "Auntie, I have to go to the factory office to tell you about the situation."

Aunt Jiang: "Let's go. Auntie will go with you."

Several young men from the electrician team followed, not wanting Master Lin to suffer a loss.

Fu Xiumei and others also surrounded Qian Lisheng and went over to see who could decide on the divorce.

Fu Xiumei even sent someone to send a letter to Qian's mother, asking her to come over immediately.

She just couldn't believe that Master Qian, with so many people

, couldn't beat Lin Xia? Jiang Weidong saw it and couldn't help but frown

. He said to the director of women's affairs, "Director Fu, Master Lin is a backbone of our steel rolling mill, not an irrelevant outsider. Don't let others form cliques to deal with her." The director of women's affairs sighed and said helplessly, "Director Jiang, I didn't let her get a divorce because I was worried about this. She is a girl from the country and she has no connections here. If she gets divorced, not only will people talk about her... , there will be a lot of trouble later. "

Jiang Weidong looked at Qian Lisheng, "Team Leader Qian, come here, I have something to tell you."

Qian Lisheng felt that he wanted to threaten him, and he felt more and more suffocated in his heart. He looked sad and uncomfortable, "If Director Jiang advises me to divorce, forget it, I can't divorce."

If Jiang Weidong dared to make his affairs public, I would post a big-character poster saying that Jiang Weidong had an affair with Lin Xia, otherwise why are you meddling in this matter?

You are a man, why don't you stand by me as a man? But you want to help a woman?

The doctor didn't tell me, why do you say it? Are you still a man?

A group of people went to the factory office. Originally, the secretary and the director of the factory office had gone home for dinner. The factory director was not at home because he was inspecting a branch factory. Now the secretary and the director of the factory office were invited back.

Fu Xiumei yelled, "Today, the leader just promoted Lin Xia to team leader, and she is so arrogant that she wants a divorce and wants to return the job to the Qian family. It's ok that she doesn't take Master Qian seriously, but why doesn't she take the leader seriously?"

She stared at Lin Xia, "Master Lin said that she can't live anymore. What's the problem? Did Master Qian starve you or beat you?"

Lin Xia remained silent.

They wouldn't listen to anything she said.

They didn't care why she couldn't live anymore. They just saw that she was not hungry or beaten. Why can't she live anymore?

How hypocritical are you?

But since she has asked for a divorce, she must get a divorce. If she listens to the mediation of the women's director and goes back to continue to live together, she is so stupid.

How can a couple live together without mediation? How awkward is their daily life?

What kind of love are they talking about? They

are almost enemies, right?

She didn't say anything and just insisted on getting a divorce.

The women's director was anxious, "Master Lin, why are you like this? If you have something to say, just say it nicely. Don't keep silent."

Qian Lisheng had a gloomy face. He stared at Lin Xia, and he felt like he didn't know her. Maybe she has always been so scheming, but he is just too honest and easy to deceive.

Is she getting a promotion and a salary increase because she thinks he has no future?

Want to climb up the social ladder?

Forget it.

I would rather die than get a divorce.

He started talking about how he values ​​relationships, and how a couple should be grateful to each other for a lifetime. He has deep feelings for Lin Xia, and he would never want to divorce.

"Lin Xia, please speak up. What's wrong with me? Tell me, I'll change, I'll definitely change!"

He was sure that Lin Xia couldn't say anything. Did she dislike his mother? But every time his mother came, she always served her? Now she doesn't care if she asks for money, and she even helps with cooking and washing clothes. What's wrong with

that? Did she dislike him?

He worked hard, earned money to support the family, how could he let her down?

The only possibility was that she changed her mind and hooked up with Jiang Weidong, right?

No matter how much he liked her before, once he had hatred in his heart, he would not hesitate to speculate about her with the greatest malice and the most vicious words.

The factory director said, "Isn't it common for young couples to quarrel? Don't let this hurt your relationship. If there is any conflict, talk it out and go back to live a good life." The

factory secretary was considerate and asked Lin Xia, "Xiao Lin, tell me your reasons."

Lin Xia felt a little painful. She was not a very eloquent person, and her vocabulary was not rich enough to express her ideas accurately.

If it was Sanmei, she would definitely be able to do it.

She recalled the tone of Sanmei's words when she talked to her, and imitated Sanmei's appearance and said, "Leaders, life is not just about having enough food and not being beaten. Some things have been weighing on me for a long time, making me more and more uncomfortable. I am easily distracted when I work, and I am afraid of making mistakes."

Without waiting for Qian Lisheng to say anything, Fu Xiumei sneered, "Listen, how hypocritical! This country boy is more educated than us. If you feel comfortable being oppressed, then change the way you oppress him."

The people around her laughed obscenely.

Jiang Weidong frowned and said in a deep voice, "Be serious. Everyone except the person involved should leave."

After he said this, the people in the security department began to push people out, especially Fu Xiumei and the others who were talking nonsense.

Fu Xiumei was pushed out, but she was still unconvinced: "Master Lin, I also feel suffocated in my chest every day, as if I am being oppressed by something. Why don't you tell me, what is oppressing you? Maybe I can learn from you."

The factory secretary looked at Lin Xia, "Master Lin, go on."

Lin Xia: "I told you that you will think I am hypocritical and an ungrateful person. The Qian family gave me the job, and I took advantage of it on the surface, but we are obviously a family, and I work to support my family. How could I be the one taking advantage? They say I am a bloodsucking person openly and secretly, and they say I am an ungrateful person if I am not satisfied with anything. In this life, don't you feel uncomfortable if someone gives you the cold shoulder every day? I really can't stand it anymore."

Although Qian's mother doesn't want money now, she always has a sullen face, fights, and is weird every time she comes.

She was unhappy, so Qian Lisheng asked her to be more generous and not to bother with the old lady.

Qian Lisheng: "Lin Xia, why do you think so? My parents and I have never rolled our eyes at you. Our mother is anxious to have a grandson, so she asked you to take folk remedies, but didn't I say anything about her? Besides, she didn't do it for work. Didn't she want to have a grandson?"

The factory secretary was knowledgeable and knew Lin Xia's mood. He could hear Qian's mother, Tong's mother and others talking when he went in and out every day. Their words were more unpleasant than what Lin Xia said.

This is a problem.

If Lin Xia had been unemployed and incompetent, and had to rely on Qian Lisheng for support, she would have had to swallow her anger when Qian's mother said this.

But Xiao Lin is now capable and can support herself. The Qian family still stabbed her like this, and no one can stand it.

The factory secretary said, "Let's do this. Everyone calm down. There is work in the branch factory. Let Master Qian go there for a while."

The women's director began to persuade Lin Xia to be patient and mediate the conflict between the couple, hoping that they can reconcile as before and not divorce easily.

The factory office director also had this opinion.

How unpleasant it would be to divorce at any time? The impact would not be good.

If they divorced, then in the future, the couples of factory employees would divorce when they quarreled. What would happen?

Lin Xia insisted.

She must divorce, at any cost.

"Leader, the job belongs to the Qian family. I will give it back to them. In the future, we owe each other nothing."

Seeing how persistent she was, the factory leader did not force her to get along with Qian Lisheng.

Jiang Weidong: "Master Xiaolin, a job is an organization's arrangement, not a person's business, and a job is not a person's private property."

Xiaolin is such a motivated, responsible, diligent and excellent employee, which factory would not be vying for her? How could they let her leave?

If she didn't have the skills, she could leave at any time, and the factory wouldn't keep her. Of course, she couldn't let go of such good skills.

Qian Lisheng was anxious. Why did he want to take his mother's job

for nothing? Lin Xia insisted on returning it, even if she had to go back to the countryside. She wanted to start over, live a down-to-earth life, and owe no one anything.

Jiang Weidong had a brief discussion with the factory secretary and the factory director. He thought that Lin Xia could give up her job to Qian's mother, but of course Qian's mother could only do the most basic job.

As for Lin Xia, she was a key member of the electrician team, so even if she didn't have a job, the factory would have to give her a job.

So there was no need to move Lin Xia, and just give Qian's mother a job. She would retire when she was old.

The factory would naturally keep an eye on this position, and only a family member could take over. It would be impossible to sell it to someone who had nothing to do with it.

The two sons and the youngest daughter-in-law of the Qian family all had jobs, and there was no one to take over, so at most Qian's mother could work for two years and be paid twenty yuan a month.

The factory secretary thought it was feasible.

Seeing that they agreed, the factory director had no objection.

After they had discussed it, they were about to go outside to announce it to Qian Lisheng and Lin Xia when they heard Qian's mother's noisy voice.

She came on a bicycle, furious, and shouted outside the office: "Lin Xia, how did our Qian family let you down? Let you destroy us like this? Ah, you said I gave you the job, you made money to support your sister, and I didn't say anything. You didn't give us an offspring for so many years, and I didn't say anything. I fed you well, cooked for you, washed your clothes, and served you, so why can't I get a single word from you? I just raised a dog, and it wagged its tail at me, so why can't I get used to you?"

Originally, when Lin Xia said that she was oppressed and uncomfortable, some people thought she was hypocritical and couldn't understand.

Now, as soon as Qian's mother said this, some people's faces changed instantly.

Tong's mother also came and fanned the flames: "Not bad, she has some problems. A country girl married into the city, but she is not grateful for her mother-in-law's kindness, and she wants to ride on her mother-in-law's head and shit?"

She hated Lu Shaotang for beating her son, and made fun of Lin Xia and Qian Lisheng for not having children. Of course, she was jealous of Lin Xia's promotion and salary increase. Now she can cause trouble for the old Qian family. Seeing the excitement, she will naturally jump happily.

If Qian Lisheng divorces, won't the old Qian family be embarrassed? In the future, Qian's mother will be even worse than herself. Qian's mother can't brag about her daughter-in-law's ability to make a lot of money, right?

These two old women came over to sing the same tune, and their value was to serve as evidence for Lin Xia.

The factory secretary, director, and women's director all looked black.

The factory director told them to shut up and asked the security department to stop them from entering the office to make trouble.

Qian's mother felt very wronged. She felt that Lin Xia was too ignorant and ungrateful. She was so good to her, but she still ruined herself like this.

She told the leader that the Qian family was not good and made her angry, as if she was abusing her daughter-in-law.

She was desperate. Her daughter-in-law could ask for a divorce in front of everyone in the factory. Even if she couldn't get a divorce, the Qian family would lose face.

If she didn't take the opportunity to step on her daughter-in-law's power and beat her into submission, who would be able to bear it if she asked for a divorce every day in the future?

She stood at the door of the office and said angrily, "Lin Xia, you bribed the doctor and lied. I didn't expose you, but you had the nerve to ask for a divorce in front of everyone, ruining the reputation of your husband and mother-in-law. Is there a daughter-in-law like you in the world?"

Old Mrs. Jiang was still there. She pushed open the door and went out to confront Qian's mother. "What are you talking about? Stop talking. It's embarrassing."

Qian's mother: "What nonsense am I talking about? Ask her. She pretended to go to the hospital for surgery, and bribed the doctor, saying that she was cured and could have children. What happened? Bullshit! She lied!"

She said to the factory secretary: "Secretary, tell me, can someone who lied like this be allowed to be a team leader? Can her salary be increased? Can she still work in the factory? Return this job to me immediately, don't tarnish my good reputation!"

She was furious. She could give Lin Xia a job, or she could take the job back.

She wanted Lin Xia to have to rely on the Qian family for food in the future, and she had to be a little slave at home. If she didn't work as a maid for a few years, she would never get rid of her anger.

Qian Lisheng watched from the side and acquiesced to Qian's mother's behavior.

He also felt that a woman like Lin Xia couldn't have a job. Without a job, she would be obedient and dare not resist, let alone ask for a divorce.

Without a job, she would have to rely on him for support and money to support her parents in the countryside. How could she dare to ask for a divorce?

If he showed any dissatisfaction, she would be afraid that he would divorce her.

Qian's mother wanted to get her job back, and she didn't agree to a divorce. She had to step on Lin Xia hard and make her kowtow and admit her mistakes and reflect on herself.

"Divorce is fine, but first return the betrothal gift, and return all the food, drinks, and money you spent on our family."

Not only was Mrs. Jiang angry, but the director of the women's department was also stunned.

"No, Master Lin has been married to you for a few years and has been your daughter-in-law. Hasn't she done your laundry, cooking and housework? Hasn't she worked hard to earn money and used it to support your family? Doesn't she also give you money when she gets paid? Why are you talking without reason?"

Old Mrs. Jiang: "If that's the case, then you have to calculate the nanny fees for Xiao Lin over the years. You get about 20 yuan a month, and the nanny gets 30 yuan a month. And you asked Xiao Lin to help you with work, so you had to spend money to hire her this month, right? Wait, in what kind of society are you still spending money to hire people? Aren't you a capitalist?"

Tong's mother: "If she doesn't want a divorce, how can the eldest sister be angry? Hurry up, apologize to your mother-in-law, admit your mistakes, and go back to live a good life."

Lin Xia still insisted on getting a divorce.

Qian Lisheng: "Lin Xia, stop talking nonsense!"

Lin Xia: "Yes, your mother is right, I can't have a baby, I can't delay you!"

She only wants a divorce now, and she doesn't hesitate to make fun of herself.

Before they broke up, her mother-in-law was kind and gentle, Qian Lisheng was smiling, and they looked like good people. Now that they broke up, their malice is unstoppable.

It's terrible.

Lin Xia was determined not to get along with him again.

They always say that it's better to part ways in peace, but the Qian family clearly treats her as an enemy.

Seeing that she was so ignorant, Qian's mother started to argue about the falsehood again, "Now you are guilty of being a thief, and you admit it yourself?"

Fu Xiumei and others also helped outside.

When she shouted, their group followed suit.

If it weren't for the protection of Old Lady Jiang, if Lin Xia hadn't had some ability to win the favor of the factory leaders, let alone her filing for divorce, if she displeased Mother Qian, Mother Qian and the other old wives would have drowned her with spit.

"Today you either go back and live a good life, or go back to the countryside naked, and don't come to the city again!"

Mother Qian was ruthless, her eyebrows raised and her eyes raised, as long as you don't become the daughter-in-law of my Qian family, you can't even think about staying in the steel rolling factory!

Mother Qian's words made Jiang Weidong angry.

He felt it necessary to warn Qian Lisheng and let Qian Lisheng take the initiative to release Comrade Lin Xia.

As a result, Mrs. Jiang was faster than him. She clapped her hands, turned around and shouted, "Oh my, show me all of this. You said that you city people are educated and look down on us country people. Look at how bully you are!"

Qian Lisheng: "Director Jiang!"

Mrs. Jiang pulled her face and shouted, "Okay, stop jumping around here and bothering me. Qian Lisheng, you think you are very smart, but you lied to the doctor. The doctor is a college graduate, how can he be worse than you?"
