He secretly made up his mind.
Next time a truck carrying cabbages comes, I must rush over and grab one.
at this time.
Another person brought over a truckload of cabbages.
He rushed forward with lightning speed.
Seeing someone peeling off the cabbage leaves, they reached out and started grabbing them.
He didn't care about saving face or whether anyone knew him.
suddenly!
His hand was grabbed.
"This is mine, let go of it."
"I won't let go. I was the one who saw it first."
"You're a grown man, standing eight feet tall, and you're here fighting with women over rotten vegetable leaves. Aren't you ashamed?"
The more I listen to this voice, the more familiar it seems.
When he saw that chubby, white face...
Isn't this about Jia Zhangshi?
When Jia Zhangshi saw it was him, she was stunned.
The Jia family was having a hard time.
Only Jia Dongxu went to work, while Qin Huairu was lazy and good-for-nothing at home. Jia Zhangshi had no choice but to go out and pick up rotten vegetable leaves.
I never dreamed I would run into Yi Zhonghai here.
Although the Yi family had fallen on hard times, and although he had lost his job.
But he's still a man, and he's got some strength.
Why did they have to come here to pick up vegetable scraps?
"Old Yi, what brings you here?"
It's exactly what I feared.
Yi Zhonghai was already afraid of being seen by acquaintances, and now he was seen by Jia Zhangshi.
She quickly covered her face: "If you can come, why can't I? Your family has Jia Dongxu who gets a salary, but I have nothing."
"But I clearly saw those vegetable leaves first!"
Even at this point, Jia Zhangshi was still fighting with him for it.
Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he didn't care about saving face.
“I am Jia Dongxu’s master. Ever since I had this accident, he has never come to see me or help me. He acts like nothing happened and doesn’t even greet me when he sees me.”
"Don't forget how I helped your Jia family before. Whenever your family had any problems, it was always me who stepped up. Whenever your family encountered difficulties, it was always me who organized people to donate money."
As he said this, Yi Zhonghai stretched out his hand.
"Give me back the two pounds of cornmeal I gave you before!"
Jia Zhangshi was completely dumbfounded!
Is this still the Yi Zhonghai she knows?
How is there any difference between him and a scoundrel now?
They say that poverty makes people lose their ambition, and a thin horse has long hair!
In just a few days, he has become like this.
Should I reach out to her and ask for something?
Go dream!
Anyway, they were both people who had been criticized by the neighborhood committee. Anyway, one of them went to the police station, and the other was having an affair.
They're not in the courtyard house anymore, and nobody here knows them.
Since they were evenly matched, she wasn't afraid of him!
With her hands on her hips and pointing her finger at his nose, she said, "You gave me those two pounds of cornmeal willingly, why should I ask you for it?!"
"You say you'll help our family, but I think you're just talking the talk; you haven't taken a single real action."
"They said they'd donate money to my family, but I haven't seen a single penny yet."
"Don't try to show off in front of me. Your family's life is worse than mine now, and you still dare to bring up the past."
“In the past, my son Dongxu would call you ‘Master’ every day, but you never gave him any benefits as his master.”
"Now that this has happened, you still want our Dongxu to help you? Are you trying to drag him down with you? You have more than one apprentice, why don't you ask your other apprentices to help you?"
"I heard that no one in the entire steel rolling mill wants to talk to you anymore. Serves you right for doing that shameless thing again!"
Even if everyone in the world can criticize him, Jia Zhangshi cannot.
Because she herself wasn't a good person.
Even though he was fired from the factory, at least he hasn't been to the police station yet.
This woman just needs to be taught a lesson!
Yi Zhonghai said fiercely, "If you dare say that again, I'll beat you up!"
"Hmph, do you think I'm some old lady you can hit however you want? Let me tell you, if you really hurt me, you'll have to pay me back."
"I'll hit you, so what!"
Neither of them would give in to the other.
They didn't care about picking up the vegetable scraps anymore; they just started fighting.
They didn't stop until they had beaten the other person black and blue.
Even if they let go, they still refuse to let go of the vegetable leaves in their hands.
...
As the weather gets colder and colder, life is tough for everyone.
The three sons of the second aunt are always either shouting about finding a job or a wife.
They keep causing trouble at home.
The second aunt was so worried that she wished she could go to the steel rolling mill and find them work.
Every time I talk about them with Liu Haizhong.
He wanted to grit his teeth and vent his anger.
“None of them are successful. I was expecting them to support me in my old age, but now they're all so old, and I still have to support their children.”
“Look at He Hongyang from the He family. He’s only a few years older than them, and he’s already capable of leading the family. What kind of sons have I given birth to?”
“Tell them that if they are capable, they should go out and earn their own living. Don’t rely on my hometown every day. I earned my position as a level 5 forging worker in the steel rolling mill myself. If they want to advance, they should strive for it themselves.”
His three sons, upon hearing this, wished they could immediately cover their ears and leave.
I wish I could get a job as soon as possible, get a wife as soon as possible, and leave this house as soon as possible!
The three women haven't been to work at the cardboard box factory for a long time.
The cardboard box factory only has work for half the year.
Her annual salary is less than Wang Liying's salary for two months.
Her children are at the age where they can eat a lot.
A half-grown man is a poor man.
Yan Bugui's salary alone is almost enough to bankrupt his family.
Yan Bugui, however, still had his own ideas.
He saw that He Hongyang had a radio at home, and he wanted to buy one for himself.
After all, he was a primary school teacher, and he was quite knowledgeable and competent. How wonderful it would be if he could hear new knowledge and trends from the radio every day.
The older woman was vehemently opposed!
"Do you know how much a radio costs? Even if you buy one, will you be able to afford the batteries later?"
"I know this thing uses up batteries, but I can just use it sparingly. I've figured it out, four batteries a year will be enough. This is my only hobby in life, so please let me buy it."
"No way! My entire year's salary isn't even enough for you to buy a radio. You absolutely can't buy one!"
"Who told you to have such a low salary? Who told you not to be like Wang Liying, who can earn more than 30 yuan a month even if she stays at home idle?"
Speaking of Wang Liying.
The three aunties were not convinced.
Since she became pregnant, and with the snow making the roads difficult to travel, things have been difficult.
I hardly ever go to work.
I heard that even if you don't go to work, you can still get full attendance pay every month.
It's so enviable!
Why does she get paid when she doesn't work, but not a penny when she has no work to do?

It's just selling things in a grocery store.
She can do this job too!
If you don't go to work when you're pregnant, then you'll have even less to do after you have a baby.
In the He family, the men have to go to work, and the children have to go to school.
The task of taking care of the children fell to Wang Liying.
If she stays home to take care of the children, then she can't attend this class.
The three women had a sudden inspiration: "What if I went to this job for her?"
Yan Bugui asked, puzzled, "There are substitutes for work?"
"From childbirth to postpartum care and then to raising the child, it takes at least two years."
“She certainly wouldn’t give up such a good job easily, but if she doesn’t go to work every day, the store will have something to say.”
"If I go to work for her for the next two years, wouldn't that mean she can take care of the child without neglecting her work?"
Yan Bugui thought this was a good idea.
"You're so clever. In other words, we've actually helped her."
“Yes, I’ll go to work for her. I don’t ask for anything, just that she give me her monthly salary. That way, our family will have an extra source of income, and the He family will have someone to look after the children. Wouldn’t that be the best of both worlds?”
"Go to the He family quickly and discuss it with her."
The three women thought their idea was absolutely brilliant.
After receiving Yan Bugui's approval.
They rushed to the He family's house in a hurry.
But she didn't expect that Auntie Yi, Auntie Er, Qin Huairu, and Jia Zhangshi were all there!
Moreover, they thought the same thing as the three aunties.
They all thought highly of her job and wanted to cover for her.
The old lady's family is almost starving, and she's been pressuring Yi Zhonghai to go out and find work every day.
Whether it's carrying heavy loads or sweeping the streets, as long as you can make money, that's fine.
