Chapter 28 Arrival the Next Day

Uncle Fu has been a strong man all his life, and it can be said that he has never suffered such humiliation.

When I got home, I got angrier and angrier. I even broke two tea bowls, which made my aunt-in-law very sad.

"Weren't you going to deal with Su Taotao? Why did you end up getting so angry? So what? Did you deal with her? Did you beg us for mercy?"

In the past, Su Taotao didn't care about anything. She went to the second wife's house to use the toilet and get some side dishes, which was convenient. But recently, that damn girl has become crazy and even wants to collect eggs from her, her aunt, when she goes to the toilet. It really makes her angry to death.

Someone slipped her a letter of accusation yesterday. She immediately gave it to her husband and asked him to deal with Su Taotao. She didn't expect her husband to be so angry.

Uncle Fu poked Auntie's head and said, "What the hell are you talking about? I think it's better to just deal with you! Don't send me any messy reports in the future. I don't have the time to deal with these things!"

The eldest aunt was confused: "No, look at the second house, the family has suddenly become bright and beautiful, stewing meat every day, and Zhou Linglan was wearing rubber sandals a few days ago. If she didn't go out to speculate, where would she get the money?"

Before Uncle Fu could finish his words, his aunt slapped her thigh, not knowing what she had thought of: "Could it be that Su Taotao went to the county town to have an affair? Was she subsidized by the adulterer in the county town?" His aunt slapped her thigh again, "It must be like this, look at her shrewish appearance, otherwise why would she go to the county town every market day?! Her father, you must control her, you can't let this shrew embarrass our Fu family, it was embarrassing enough when she jumped into the river..."

Uncle Fu couldn't stand to hear the word "shame" at all. As soon as his aunt finished speaking, Uncle Fu kicked her on the butt: "Are you done yet, bitch? You make up stories all day long and almost killed me. Do you know that? Su Taotao is now a legitimate worker with an employment contract at a state-owned hotel. If you keep gossiping, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

My aunt's wife was kicked unexpectedly by him and staggered, and she almost fell to the ground. Uncle Fu wanted to save face, so he didn't hit her easily. If he wasn't extremely angry, he wouldn't have kicked her. It didn't hurt, but it was humiliating.

The eldest aunt had two sons to support her, and she hadn't suffered such a humiliation in many years. She turned around and rushed to him: "You damned bastard, you actually hit me?! I will fight you!"

Uncle Fu was very strong. He grabbed her hands and pushed her forward: "Have you made enough trouble? Don't you think I've been embarrassed enough today? Do you want to lose my position as the captain to make you happy?"

Uncle Fu knows how to control her best. If there is anyone who cares more about the position of the captain besides Uncle Fu, it must be my aunt. She relies on her title as the captain's wife to act arrogantly and bully others everywhere. How could she bear to see him lose his position?

The aunt stopped when she heard this. The rationality that was kicked away by Uncle Fu also returned: "Then you can't do it. If you do it again, I will let my son beat you to death. What's the matter with Su Taotao being a worker in a state-owned hotel now?"

After such a commotion, Uncle Fu's anger actually subsided a lot, and his words were not so aggressive: "How should I know what's going on? Anyway, he is now a legitimate state-owned hotel worker, and neither you nor I can afford to offend him. Okay, let's stop here, and Zhengtu may be coming back soon, so don't cause me any trouble recently."

When the aunt heard this, she was shocked again: "Zhengtu is coming back soon? He's not coming back, isn't he like his father?"

Uncle Fu wanted to kick her again, and he pointed at her for a long time without being able to speak.

The biggest failure in his life was marrying such a fool, who couldn't even put in the effort to win over the second wife's family, couldn't help him at all, and caused trouble for him all the time.

In fact, he felt very regretful on the way back. His original intention was just to warn them, and he didn't want to make the relationship awkward. That family usually didn't retaliate when they were scolded or hit, but he didn't know what had happened to them today. Every word from his niece-in-law hit him so hard. How could he bear it?

No matter what, Zhengtu was the golden phoenix that flew out of their production team, and he was his nephew. Although he didn't know what he did specifically, how could he be picked up by a four-wheeled military vehicle? It was all the fault of the stinky woman at home, who received the tip-off, and also his own fault for not being able to keep his temper.

"What good will it do you if my nephew dies? Just stay out of trouble."

The aunt curled her lips and said disdainfully: "It's no good for you if he's not dead. You're talking as if he respects you as his uncle."

"You..." Uncle Fu was too lazy to waste time talking to her, "Why don't you go and cook!"

After all, the aunt was still afraid of the head of the family. She was absent-minded while cooking, thinking about waiting for her two sons to come back to discuss how to get Su Taotao's job.

A young wife from another place working as a worker in a state-owned hotel is almost the same as being married to his son.

Su Taotao naturally didn't know that Uncle Fu's family had ulterior motives. She didn't think that people were that bad. Fu Zhengtu's whole family were good people, and Uncle Fu's family, who came from the same ancestor, shouldn't be too bad.

The hotel business is still booming. The First Hotel in the east is attracting customers from the Second Hotel in the west and the Third Hotel in the south.

As a result, Chef Xu was so busy that he could not handle it. The hotel's turnover had increased several times. The leadership team was very satisfied and gave Su Taotao an extra bonus. They also planned to hire another chef, a waiter and a handyman.

When Su Taotao came back with the bamboo shoots on her back, Chef Xu asked for her opinion, saying that if there was a suitable candidate, she would be given a recommendation spot.

Nowadays, workers have iron rice bowls that can be passed down from generation to generation. Every job is a pitfall. Not to mention how much it costs to buy a workstation, even if you have money, you can't buy one. The higher-ups actually secured a regular worker position for Su Taotao. It can be said that the leadership team values ​​Su Taotao very much.

Su Taotao thought about it but couldn't find a suitable candidate. She shook her head and said, "I don't have a suitable candidate here. You should find a suitable helper to reduce your workload."

The people around who heard it gasped and looked at Su Taotao with a look that said "Are you an idiot?"

Chef Xu had a complicated look in his eyes. He had originally planned to turn a blind eye to whoever Su Taotao sent in. You know, this workstation is worth at least a few hundred yuan. Even if he doesn't ask his relatives and friends for help, he can still make a few hundred yuan by selling the workstation. He didn't expect that Su Taotao was so sincere and caring about him and the hotel that she actually let him make the decision.

Chef Xu looked into Su Taotao's clear eyes and didn't know what to say for a moment. He just said, "Okay, I understand."

Su Taotao was really wronged. She was a young educated youth from another place. She didn't have a good relationship with other educated youths in the educated youth camp. She got married early. There were old and young people in her family. Uncle Fu's family was not worthy of her doing this favor. Even she herself would quit her job and leave here in a few months. What was the point of doing this favor? It would be better to do a favor to Chef Xu.

On the next market day, Chef Xu actually gave Su Taotao five hundred yuan.

Five hundred dollars! Fifty big reunion tickets! Su Taotao's eyes widened!

You have to know that when she first came here, her entire net worth was only 12.85 yuan. Later, she collected 250 yuan from debts, and the bonus she received last month was only 10 yuan plus a bag of rice and a barrel of oil.

Five hundred dollars can buy a small house in a small county town in this era. It is a huge sum of money!

"What does this mean, Chef Xu?"

Chef Xu looked embarrassed and said, "I sold the workstation for you. It was my former comrade-in-arms. I didn't want to ask for a high price, so I sold it a little lower than the market price."

"Is this legal?" She is a law-abiding citizen. She won't do anything illegal or criminal! Not even fifty big group photos!

Chef Xu was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "There is no such thing as legal or illegal. For example, if I want to sell my workstation or let my son take over, it's fine. It's up to us, and the higher-ups won't care."

Su Taotao understood that the reason why the iron rice bowl is called an iron rice bowl is because it is "hereditary". Whoever it is given to owns it, and how to deal with it is a personal matter.

Su Taotao thought about it and returned 25 of the big group photos to Chef Xu: "I'll just take these, you can handle the rest."

I thought to myself that I was getting into an argument with an idiot.

Chef Xu: "How can that be possible? It's already lower than the market price."

Su Taotao pushed them all back, "Then I don't want any of them."

Chef Xu couldn't persuade her: "Okay, okay, okay. Thank you on behalf of my comrades." It was the first time he had met such a person.

You say she doesn't love money, but she fights for the money she deserves, the bills she owes, and the bonuses she deserves, and she won't give up a penny.

You say she loves money, but she gave back half of such a huge sum of money without blinking an eye.

However, she is probably the only one throughout history who dares to make such a request to cooperate with a state-owned hotel, so it is reasonable for her to be different.

Chef Xu was not a shy person, so he accepted her favor and would repay her when he had the chance.

Su Taotao really didn't think too much about it. She understood that this was probably one of the characteristics of the times.

But after hearing that the other party was a veteran like Chef Xu, she would not have accepted even this 250 yuan if she had a little money. But Chef Xu would not feel at ease if she did not accept it. Besides, the salary at the hotel was not bad, and his comrade-in-arms would be able to earn it back in no time, so he symbolically accepted half of it.

Up to now, Su Taotao's total net worth is less than 500 yuan.

It's really hard to make money without relying on black market transactions.

"Su Zhiqing, there's a telegram for you."

Ever since Su Taotao told the postman last time that she would work at the First Hotel in the mornings on every market day, the postman would wait until the market day to deliver the letters here.

When Su Taotao thought of someone who would send her a telegram, the first person she thought of was the original owner's family.

However, when I got it, I saw only three words:

Arrive the next day

Su Taotao: “…”

It was still a letter without any official documents. Su Taotao didn’t even need to look at the handwriting. Who else except her cheap husband would write a letter like this?

Then I looked at the date. It was yesterday's telegram, so wouldn't it have arrived today?

Su Taotao was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses. So her cheap husband would be back today?

She is not mentally prepared yet!
