"Master Liu, thank you for your help." Zhu Weidong took the food.
Master Liu said politely, "You are the ones who have trouble. You are the ones who have to work harder. All I can do is to make something for you. Okay, you guys talk first. I still need to prepare lunch."
After saying something, Master Liu went out.
Hu Gang looked apologetic, "Engineer Zhu, this is all my wife's fault. I brought her here to apologize to Comrade Xiao Ji."
"Manager Hu and sister-in-law, please sit down first." Zhu Weidong took a bench and handed it to the two of them.
After the three of them sat down, Zhu Weidong explained, "Xiaoling is sleeping. She didn't eat anything yesterday and walked outside all night. She didn't sleep when she got back from the bus. She fell asleep right after she came back. Let's not wake her up for now."
"It's my duty. Xiaoling has suffered." Hu Gang forced his lips together. He kicked his wife lightly under the table and looked at her again.
Lin Xiang gritted her teeth and looked at Zhu Weidong, "Engineer Zhu, this is all my fault. I was too worried about Master Liu at the time, and I didn't know how to control my mouth. I said whatever I wanted to say. I regretted it right after I said it."
Zhu Weidong interrupted her and said, "Sister-in-law, you should wait until Xiaoling wakes up to tell her these things. This is a matter between the two of you. I can't interfere."
"Engineer Zhu is right." Hu Gang said with a smile.
Zhu Weidong said nothing, and the tent fell into dead silence.
Hu Gang sat there with a tense face, unable to hold back his anger. He stood up and said goodbye, "We'll come back when Xiaoling wakes up. We won't disturb your rest for now."
Zhu Weidong replied with an OK and sent the two away.
Returning to his tent, Hu Gang kicked the chair away with a heavy kick. Lin Xiang, who followed in, was startled and stood at the door of the tent without daring to move.
After all, there were people living everywhere and the tent was not soundproof, so no matter how angry Hu Gang was, he did not make any big noise.
He looked at his wife with a gloomy face, "Did you see Engineer Zhu's attitude?"
Lin Xiang nodded, "He doesn't want this matter to just let go."
Hu Gang has a gentle appearance, wears a pair of glasses, and usually gives people a kind impression. However, his wife Lin Xiang knows that this is just on the surface. In fact, her husband has a very bad temper.
At this time, her husband didn't say anything, just stared at her. Lin Xiang was unsure and kept thinking about what was wrong with what she had just said, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Lin Xiang moved stiffly, "Engineer Zhu, don't you care about this?"
Hu Gang took off his glasses. He comforted himself in his heart that he no longer felt upset because he couldn't see.
His wife was introduced by his aunt. She graduated from junior high school and was said to be capable. After they got married, he turned out to be very capable. He was even able to attend the Workers and Peasants University that year, and it was with the support of his wife that he got the place.
Later, he settled down in the capital. He was always grateful to his wife. Even though he felt that his wife could not keep up with him in terms of thinking, he never despised her. He also communicated with his unit to arrange for his wife to be by his side. One reason was that the couple could not be separated. Another reason was that he hoped that his wife would broaden her horizons, be influenced by more highly educated people, and have some knowledge.
Now it seems that some things are engraved in our bones, and no matter how well you plan, they will burst out at a certain point in time.
"You're right. Engineer Zhu will not pursue this matter." Hu Gang replied.
Lin Xiang widened her eyes, moved closer to her husband, and said with a smile, "Engineer Zhu looks like he's keeping people at a distance, but he has always had a good temper."
Lin Xiang was stunned for a moment, shaking her head like a rattle, "I don't want to be pointed at wherever I go."
And he was still instructing her to bully others.
Hu Gang also sighed, "I had the same idea as you before. Engineer Zhu looked cold but had a good temper. I thought that this matter could be resolved after we talked it out. Now I realize that I was wrong. Even rabbits bite when they are angry. Besides, Engineer Zhu is originally a dragon."
After a moment of hesitation, Hu Gang said, "Forget it. It has already happened. I will go and apologize to Engineer Zhu's wife tomorrow. We have done what we should do and we just need to realize our mistakes."
Lin Xiang frowned tightly, "How about asking Accountant Chi for help? She and Engineer Zhu are classmates, and Doctor Chang who came here this time said that they have a very good relationship."
Hu Gang frowned, "No."
After saying this, he was afraid that his wife would not listen, so he emphasized again, "Don't do it."
Lin Xiang didn't understand.
Hu Gang gritted his teeth and said, "If Accountant Chi really had a good relationship with Zhu Weidong, would he have watched his wife get into trouble? If someone had stepped forward to mediate when you said those things, Engineer Zhu's lover would not have left. It was because no one stepped forward that you all collectively bullied a pregnant woman. She was not wrong to run away from home."
Lin Xiang opened her mouth slightly, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses. She looked ashamed, "Old Hu, I'm sorry, I caused you trouble."
"Okay, you're so straightforward, I know something's going to happen sooner or later."
Lin Xiang lowered her head in shame.
After her husband was admitted to university and assigned such a good job, she knew that she was not worthy of him, so after working here, she has been very active and hardworking, just because she does not want to hold her husband back.
After being so cautious for so many years, who would have thought that a moment of arrogance today would lead to something like this.
The southwest has a tropical climate. The temperature outside is nearly 40 degrees Celsius. The door of the tent is closed, and sitting inside is like being in a sauna.
"Let's go eat first." Hu Gang refused to say anything more and did not offer any comfort.
Lin Xiang agreed on the surface, but when she went out to eat with her husband, she felt very upset in her heart. Although she knew her husband would blame her, she still couldn't help feeling sad when she really faced it.
As soon as the meal started, everyone living there came out. Meal time is also the hottest time of the day.
Hu Gang is usually on the construction site and it's a rare occasion for him to come back. Everyone came to greet him and some people advised him not to get angry. However, as they talked a lot, nothing happened to Engineer Zhu's wife.
Hu Gang apologized modestly and sincerely. After the meal, he felt more tired than working a whole day on the construction site.
Chang Ya kept hiding in Chi Fangping's tent and didn't dare to go out.
Every move in the residence could not escape everyone's eyes. After Zhu Weidong came back, he went to the kitchen to order food. Everyone knew this, so those who did not see him during the meal thought it was normal.
Chang Ya was still feeling uneasy, "Sister Fang Ping, will Brother Zhu blame us?"
