As the saying goes: Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. When Zhang Weifang returned to her hometown to celebrate her grandmother's birthday this year, she was pulled aside by her two younger sisters and asked:
"Sister, why did we hear that your An An has someone else outside? Is it true?"
Zhang Weifang looked unhappy, but still told the truth:
"real."
Zhang Weishuang exploded, her voice rising several degrees:
"Sister, you have to take care of this matter. You don't even know what the villagers say about him. It's so embarrassing."
Zhang Weifang was silent, not knowing what to say. She had never expected such a bad thing to spread to the village:
"How can I just ignore it? Your brother-in-law was so angry that he was hospitalized, but it's useless. Hailian won't divorce, An'an won't come back, the two of them are almost strangers now, and they don't even care about the child."
Zhang Weifen has always been heartless, so she is very open-minded:
"Sister, we are all old now. Don't interfere in the children's affairs. The most important thing is to take care of your own health. We sisters don't have daughters, so there will be no one to take care of us when we are old."
Although sons are filial, most of them are not as caring as daughters. And daughter-in-law is an outsider, so how can one have the nerve to ask her to serve him?
Zhang Weishuang saw that her elder sister was in a bad mood, so she immediately changed the subject:
"Weifen, your son Li Ji is 25 years old now, right? Is he dating someone?"
"No, I've introduced several people to me, but none of them are suitable. His job is easy, but he only makes a few hundred yuan a month. How can he support a family?"
Zhang Weishuang has a hard time describing his sister's two sons, who have no ambition at all:
"Let him work hard to get promoted, and use his connections. Gou Xiao is doing well now. He's planning to buy a house in the county town."
Zhang Weifen never envied others. She thought her son was very good and everyone had their own way of living.
In fact, Gou Xiao's brother-in-law is a leader of the Railway Bureau. If Li Ji wants to become a regular employee, he can just give some money to the higher-ups. However, Zhang Weishuang has hinted at it several times, but Zhang Weifen's family has not made any move.
In Li Ji's words, who knows whether this kind of gift-giving is reliable or not. What if I give the gift but don't get a permanent job, then it will be a waste. My salary is not high anyway, so why should I waste money?
Besides, there are people who have been working as temporary workers for seven or eight years. Why is it my turn to be converted to a regular employee?
Among their generation, Li Yong and Li Ji can be said to be the people with the lowest status. At the beginning, others wanted to help them up, but later, the more they saw that they were out of touch, the others gave up the idea.
Li Yong has been doing well in recent years. Since he got married and had children, he has been working hard and everyone has a much better impression of him.
It’s hard to describe Li Ji. After all, he was born in the 1980s, but his thinking and mentality are even worse than those in the 1960s.
He is still wearing the sweater knitted by his mother when he was a child, and his clothes and pants are also from more than ten years ago. Whenever someone talks about him, he says he has no money. It seems that his thinking is a generation apart from that of modern people.
Over time, everyone began to keep their distance from him, just giving him face for the sake of appearances.
During the Chinese New Year in 2007, Gou Xiaozui was in high spirits. He bought a small courtyard in the county town, his company also provided him with a car, and his son also went to school in the county town. Now his life is thriving.
Hu Zi also bought a car two years ago, but he lived in the city, so it was not very noticeable. But Gou Xiao has now become one of the most famous people in the village.
Gou Xiao’s wife is also a virtuous woman. The family spent 130,000 yuan to buy a house, and with the renovation and the child’s transfer to another school, a total of 150,000 yuan was spent, which basically used up the family savings.
In order to reduce the burden on her family, she found a family and worked as a nanny to help take care of a little girl.
At first, her relatives and friends felt ashamed when they heard that she was working as a nanny, but she didn't care as long as they were paid.
Gou Xiao is also a man with a conscience. He is tall and handsome. Now he has status and position. When he goes out, many people give him women, but he always refuses.
Even though his wife had wrinkles all over her face and dark yellow skin, he never despised her. When the two of them went out to play together, they didn't care about other people's pointing fingers at them.
However, it was also because he was a decent person that he was promoted so quickly.
During the Chinese New Year, Zhang Nailin also came back with her son. Liang Qing helped to look after the child for a while. The child's hand accidentally touched her chest. She felt pain for a while, so she touched it with her hand and found a swelling on her chest.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Liang Qing rushed to the hospital for a physical examination. Unfortunately, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Fortunately, it is in the early stage and can be solved by surgery.
So, in the following days, Zhang Weiren took her to the provincial hospital every day. A month later, she had surgery in the hospital and stayed in the hospital for nearly a month before returning.
This month, Zhang Weiren lost more than ten pounds, and his back injury relapsed, so he had to start acupuncture again.
Zhang Weiren had no choice but to temporarily hire a nanny to help with laundry and cooking at home, while they both rested in bed.
As soon as Zhang Weiren felt better, he ran to Zhang Weifang's house:
"Sister, I'm so frustrated. You said that Liang Lisha, she looked pretty and sensible, but now I realize she's a complete fool."
Zhang Weifang had never seen his brother so angry:
"What's wrong?"
Liang Lisha originally had a good job in Taipei City, but she returned to the city after falling in love. Zhang Weiren also used his connections to get her a job as a music teacher in a high school.
After getting married, Liang Lisha devoted herself to her own family and didn't care about her mother at all. That's fine.
This time, when Liang Qing fell ill, Liang Lisha only went to the hospital to see him. She did not stay with him or provide any other care. She relied entirely on Zhang Weiren, her stepfather.
Zhang Weiren is old and in poor health, and he also has to take care of patients. When he is in a bad mood, his health will also have problems. Even so, Liang Lisha has never cared.
Zhang Nailin and Zhang Shijie came back to stay for a week to help take care of her, so Zhang Weiren now has a very bad impression of Liang Lisha.
Coincidentally, Liang Lisha's husband also works in the criminal police team and is Hu Zi's subordinate. Originally, Zhang Weiren wanted Hu Zi to take care of him, but now he has no such intention at all and he will not do anything unnecessary.
Three months later, Liang Qing went to the hospital for a follow-up examination. Her health had recovered well. From then on, she just needed to take her medicine on time and have follow-up examinations on time.
Liang Qing now looks like a flower that has lost its moisture. She looks very shriveled. An operation left her with one breast missing and all her hair falling out.
Her hair has grown a lot longer now, but there are some white hairs and there is more fatigue in the corners of her eyes.
