Zhang Hainan returned home in silence. His wife was furious when she saw how cowardly he was. She scolded him and An An at the same time. However, without her three brothers, she was like a toothless tiger, posing no threat at all.
After the two people were rejected for jobs many times, they felt scared and gave up.
In the end, the old man took out his coffin book and returned the ten thousand yuan. Only then did Zhang Hainan find a job in a small factory. His wife's reputation was completely ruined, so she had to stay at home.
That day, Zhang Weifang was busy at the matchmaking agency when the phone suddenly rang. Jin Wen's panicked voice came from the receiver:
"Sister, come quickly, something happened at home."
Zhang Weifang hung up the phone and went to find Lu Shi, who drove home in ten minutes.
In Zhang Weiren's home, the furniture was smashed into pieces and scattered all over the room, and some had even been broken into wood chips and fragments.
The ground was littered with the remains of cups, plates and other tableware, their once exquisite appearance now in tatters.
The once lush grape trellis in the yard was not spared either. It was roughly overturned to the ground, and the vines and leaves were scattered in a disorderly manner, as if telling us that the good times of the past were no longer there.
Such a scene makes it clear at a glance that a fierce fight or act of destruction has just taken place here.
Zhang Weifang was horrified. She looked at the mess on the ground and asked angrily:
"Jinwen, Weiren, what happened? Who did it?"
When Jin Wen saw Zhang Weifang coming, he seemed to have found his backbone and hugged her and burst into tears.
After a long time, she finally stopped crying and said through gritted teeth:
"Sister, you know that Weicun's job was arranged by Weiren. Now that factory is doing badly and is on the verge of bankruptcy, Weicun has contacted many people and filed a lawsuit against the factory director, alleging corruption."
"The factory director was sentenced to five years in prison. His wife and son brought people to his house and smashed everything."
Zhang Weifang was stunned:
"This... Weicun is crazy. What benefit did he get from sending the factory director to jail?"
"We don't know either. Wei Ren has someone investigate."
Zhang Weiren kept sitting on the sofa smoking one cigarette after another, with an inexplicable expression on his face and not saying a word.
Lu Shi silently cleaned up the mess on the floor.
After a while, "Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling," the phone rang and Zhang Weiren quickly picked it up. The person on the other end said something, but he just said "I know" and hung up.
Zhang Weiren extinguished the half-smoked cigarette in his hand, then said with a dark face:
"The factory declared bankruptcy, and the items inside were divided up. Weicun and a few workers were given a warehouse."
Zhang Weifang didn't expect that Zhang Weicun would betray his relatives for this little benefit. At the beginning, Zhang Weiren used a lot of favors and gave him gifts when finding him a job, and his salary was also the highest among his peers.
Moreover, he was often late and left early. The factory director did not blame him for Zhang Weiren's sake. However, who could have thought that such a guy would stretch out his claws and stab his former leader in the back at the critical moment?
Zhang Weifang was so disappointed with her younger brother that she didn't know how to treat him.
Zhang Weiren was silent for a moment, then said with red eyes:
"Sister, please tell Weicun that we will just be strangers when we meet again in the future. This incident is my last act of kindness to him."
Zhang Weifang was also feeling bad. It was really frustrating to see her fellow countrymen from the same mother end up in such a situation.
After leaving Zhang Weiren's house, Zhang Weifang went straight to the high-rise building behind and stood at the entrance of Zhang Weicun's house. She hesitated for a long time before knocking on the door.
When Zhang Weicun saw his elder sister, he warmly invited her in. His home was still bright and clean, and it was warm and cozy.
"Sister, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Zhang Weifang was in no mood for small talk. She sat on the chair, repeated what Zhang Weiren had said, and then prepared to get up and leave.
Zhang Weicun also stood up and sneered:
"Sister, we are strangers. Otherwise, you live in a big house while I have to rent a house."
Zhang Weifang turned and looked at him, saying calmly:
"If your eldest brother hadn't brought you to the city, you would still be hiding in the village. You can be ungrateful, but you shouldn't be ungrateful."
Zhang Weicun said disapprovingly:
"Sister, you guys are living well, so of course you don't know my difficulties. Besides, if he hadn't embezzled anything, would he be afraid of me suing him? I'm doing this for justice."
Zhang Weifang only now understood that for some people, no matter how much you talk, it is like talking to a cow. There is no point in saying more, so she left Zhang Weicun's house directly.
Walking out of the corridor, the sun was shining brightly outside. A beam of warm sunlight shone on Zhang Weifang's face. She squinted her eyes, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and the haze in her heart also dissipated.
She couldn't help but think in her heart: No matter how sad or disappointing things are, as long as you look up, there will always be a ray of sunshine to warm you.
When she returned home, her mood had become very good. Zhang Weicun was nothing, just a small bump in her life, and she could just move on from it.
In the evening, Lu Shi invited Zhang Weiren and his wife to his home for dinner. The couple praised Lu Shi's cooking skills, especially Jin Wen, who ate two bowls of noodle soup and two buns.
No one mentioned Zhang Weicun again. After an afternoon of reflection, everyone had already eliminated this person.
In the following days, life returned to normal.
Zhang Weicun lost his job and had a very hard time. Mao Tu fought with him every day, beating him and Ling Ling, and thought he was a loser.
In a fit of rage, he ran away from home with the 5,000 yuan he got from selling the warehouse.
After leaving home, Zhang Weicun had nowhere to go, so he wandered around the streets. It was already early winter, and the cold wind made him feel a little bitter.
Zhang Weicun secretly swore in his heart that he must make a lot of money before going back. He couldn't let Mao Tu continue to look down on him. He wanted to prove that he was capable.
When Zhang Weicun saw the neat rows of cabbages in the vegetable store, his eyes lit up and he had a good idea.
Three days later, on a sunny morning, Zhang Weicun stood next to a huge truck, his face filled with excitement and anticipation.
The truck was loaded with a full 10,000 kilograms of cabbage, each of which was plump and fresh. Zhang Weicun carefully selected these cabbages to ensure their top quality.
He hired this big truck to transport the cabbages to Le'an County.
As the engine roared, the truck started slowly and drove towards Le'an County.
Zhang Weicun sat in the passenger seat, his heart full of longing for the future. He knew that after selling 10,000 kilograms of cabbage, he would definitely make a lot of money.
