After drinking, Qiao Weidong took Fangyuan home and sat in the back seat with Fangyuan in the car.
Qiao Weidong teased Fangyuan:
"Old Fang, don't pretend to be drunk this time. Last time you said you should just pretend, and you puked on my car in pursuit of truth. Don't you know that this car is just like my darling?"
Fangyuan is a little embarrassed:
"No, Old Qiao. Besides, you stabbed me in the waist last time and I haven't settled the score with you yet. It hurts!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fangyuan pinched the waist of Qiao Weidong, who was sitting on the left:
"No, I have to give it back!"
Qiao Weidong was good at blocking. After all, he had been working out recently and was much stronger than Fangyuan. Qiao Weidong soon subdued Fangyuan.
Holding Fang Yuan's hand tightly with both hands to prevent him from moving, he said to the driver: "Old Liang, how much did we spend on the last car wash?"
The driver was holding the steering wheel and forgot how much it was, so he made up a number at random: "Mr. Qiao, a total of 288!"
"I heard that there is no Fangyuan. If the old debt is settled, the 288 yuan will have to be paid. How can we still pay it?" Qiao Weidong said to Fangyuan with a smile.
Fangyuan immediately lost his temper when he heard about the money. After all, he was poor and short-minded and a little angry. He watched Qiao Weidong's hands firmly controlling him:
"Let go, you bitch. You really deserve to have a gym at home. You've been practicing a lot lately!"
Qiao Weidong let go of Fangyuan's hand but was wary of Fangyuan's sneak attack: "Look, I sweat every day in vain!"
"Okay, now that we've talked about it, let's pay 288, via WeChat, Alipay, or cash?" Qiao Weidong teased Fangyuan.
"I don't have money, I don't have money when I want it, I won't give it to my life, what's going on?" Fangyuan Dongbei's words sprang out when he heard that he wanted money.
Qiao Weidong laughed out loud when he saw Fangyuan acting cheating:
"Okay, I won't fight with you anymore. How old are you to act like a spoiled brat!"
Fangyuan only replied with one word: "Get out!"
Fangyuan felt much better after having fun with Qiao Weidong for a while. It was already dark at this time, and Fangyuan smiled when she saw the night view of Beijing through the car window.
The car soon arrived at Shuxiang Yayuan. Qiao Weidong and Fangyuan entered the corridor together. When Fangyuan touched his pocket at the door of the house, he realized that he didn't bring the key with him when he went out today.
I didn't feel anything in the car just now, but as soon as I got home and entered the corridor, I felt a little unsteady. After all, I drank a lot.
Qiao Weidong saw that Fangyuan couldn't open the door without the key: "Fangyuan, when will Wenjie come back? Give her a call. If she comes back late, there will be a whole bowl of porridge at the door of our community!"
Fangyuan took out her mobile phone and called her daughter-in-law Tong Wenjie. After the call was connected, she said, "Daughter-in-law, when will you get home? I was in a hurry when I went out today and didn't bring my keys!"
Tong Wenjie, who was driving at this time: "Hurry, I'll be there soon. I won't tell you yet. I'm driving!"
After hanging up the phone, Fangyuan faced Qiao Weidong beside him: "Old Qiao, please go back first. Tong Wenjie will be back soon! I happened to be sitting on the chair by the door to sober up."
After finishing speaking, Fangyuan pointed to the stool at the door.
After hearing what Fangyuan said, Qiao Weidong left and took a car to the gym to pick Xiao Meng up from get off work.
After Qiao Weidong left, Fang Yuan sat on the chair and fell asleep unconsciously.
When Tong Wenjie came back, she felt a little distressed when she saw Fangyuan sleeping at the door, and felt that she shouldn't quarrel with him this morning.
He shouldn't have been forced to wear a suit. He was already under great pressure now that he didn't have work. Thinking of this, Tong Wenjie almost shed tears of guilt.
He knelt down and patted Fangyuan's hand gently: "Fangyuan!"
Seeing that Fangyuan, who was sleeping soundly, did not respond, he shouted several times: "Fangyuan! Fangyuan!"
Tong Wenjie saw Fangyuan open her eyes in confusion: "Fangyuan, why are you sleeping here? How cold is it?"
Fangyuan was a little confused after being woken up: "Yeah, why am I sleeping upstairs? I'm in the corridor!"
"Is it cold?" Tong Wenjie asked with concern.
Fangyuan didn't feel anything when she came back, but she still felt a little headache after she woke up.
"Why am I sleeping here? I remember Lao Qiao sent me home!"
Tong Wenjie knew as soon as Fangyuan mentioned Qiao Weidong:
"Why are you drinking?"
Fangyuan let out a long sigh:
"I'm sorry, wife. I just felt a little depressed after drinking a little today. I asked Lao Qiao to come out and drink some!"
Tong Wenjie held Fang Yuan’s hand:
"I was wrong about Fangyuan! I shouldn't have been in a hurry with you this morning. It was my fault. You are in a difficult time now. I should have let you go. I was too impatient!"
Fangyuan broke away from Tong Wenjie's hand and hugged Tong Wenjie directly, burying her head in his wife's arms:
"My wife is not drinking today because of what happened in the morning!"
Tong Wenjie also held Fangyuan's head: "Is it because you are reluctant to leave today when you go to resign?"
Hearing what his wife said, Fangyuan became even more sad: "You don't even know, those bastards are so bullying. Do you know that I didn't know until I went to the company today that I was the only one who was laid off!"
After saying that, I started to cry.
Tong Wenjie was also very angry when she heard what Fangyuan said, but she still spoke out to comfort her husband.
After all, one has to feel pain for one's own man, and gently stroked Fangyuan's back:
"It's okay, Fangyuan, don't be sad. It's okay as long as I'm here. Everything will pass!"
Tong Wenjie waited for Fangyuan and cried for a while: "Come on, Fangyuan, let's go home, it's so cold outside!"
Fangyuan, who had somewhat stabilized her mood, followed Tong Wenjie back home.
After helping Fangyuan sit on the sofa in the living room, Tong Wenjie went to the kitchen to make a glass of honey water and handed it to Fangyuan who was sitting on the sofa.
Fangyuan took the honey water and felt it was a little hot, so she put it on the coffee table first. When she saw Tong Wenjie was about to leave:
"Daughter-in-law, please sit down first and let me tell you something!"
Tong Wenjie sat next to Fangyuan: "Say it!"
Fangyuan took Tong Wenjie's hand: "Lao Qiao gave me a suggestion when my wife was drinking today. I plan to discuss it with you!"
Tong Wenjie was a little confused: "What advice did Lao Qiao give you?"
Fangyuan then told Tong Wenjie everything about Qiao Weidong's suggestion to open a store, and also told Tong Wenjie what Qiao Weidong said about Fangyuan's difficulty in finding a job now. (PS: I won’t go into details. Please read the previous chapter for details, so as not to accuse me of being short on word count.)
He also said that if the family makes half the money, all the money it loses belongs to Qiao Weidong.
Tong Wenjie was silent after listening to Fangyuan's words, and was a little moved. She felt that Fangyuan was lucky to have Qiao Weidong as a friend in her life. After all, friends who can consider this for you are basically rare.
People directly provide money to open a store for you. On the surface, it is an investment, but isn't it just directly helping Fangyuan open a store?
And Tong Wenjie felt that if the business was good, when Qiao Weidong got his capital back, he would definitely withdraw and hand over the entire store to Fangyuan.
(Don’t tell me that Tong Wenjie really guessed it right, Qiao Weidong really planned it like this.)
Tong Wenjie was about to agree. After all, Qiao Weidong helped you even though he didn't appreciate it, so he was a bit conceited.
Fangyuan saw that Tong Wenjie had been silent: "I think what Lao Qiao said is quite reasonable. Although opening a flower, bird and fish market store will not make you rich, you can earn back the rent in a month, but it can also help you share the pressure."
"This way you don't have to be angry with that Xiao Jin in the company. You can also find a lighter job and we won't serve her anymore!" Fang Yuan put his hand around Tong Wenjie's shoulders and expressed concern.
Tong Wenjie also wanted to cry. She felt that her husband finally understood her. She was also under a lot of pressure now. She was the only one making money in a family of four. No matter what kind of grievances and difficulties she suffered in the company, she did not dare to resign.
