Outside the factory gate.
Qin Huairu gritted her teeth, widened her eyes, and glared at Mrs. Jia Zhang.
Mrs. Jia Zhang cried and wiped her tears:
"Wang Weidong, the man who was stabbed a thousand times, put a mousetrap in his house and played with it. When he stepped on it, it... pierced the sole of his foot!"
"When I was sent to the hospital, the doctor said the surgery would cost fifty yuan, and there would be sequelae in the future. I would be unsteady on my feet and become lame."
"Wang Weidong is as destined to die as Silly Zhu. He is jealous of our family and has no good intentions."
"He is old and has no one to support him at the end of his life. He is an old oligarch, a fool, and has no money."
Seeing Mrs. Jia Zhang start to curse, Qin Huairu knew that he would not be able to get anything out of her if he asked again.
Fortunately, Bangge has been sent to the hospital and should be fine.
Qin Huairu's face was ashen and she walked quickly to the factory. She wanted to ask for leave first.
Qin Huairu did not dare to ask Liu Mingyi, the workshop director, to ask for leave.
Instead, he told Yi Zhonghai what happened.
Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu with red eyes without hesitation.
"Xiao Qin, you go to the hospital to take care of the child first, and I'll go talk to the director."
Qin Huairu hurriedly left the steel rolling mill and went straight to the hospital.
As an eighth-level fitter and workshop master, Yi Zhonghai does not have to do the work himself.
After he asked for leave for Qin Huairu, he thought about it and decided to tell Shazhu what happened.
Wang Weidong is a veteran and he has no confidence in uniform.
Canteen chef.
The fat little chef chopped Chinese cabbage "哐哐哐".
Silly Zhu was lying on a chair with his legs crossed, holding an enamel jar in his hand, looking at the pairs of birds on the tree, and humming "Little Widow Goes to the Grave".
"A twenty-one-year-old little widow, disappointed and depressed, thinking about the slave family's hard life, and having crossed the line and committed a crime in a white dress..."
Seeing Yi Zhonghai coming in with a cold face, he quickly stood up.
"Master, why are you here?"
Yi Zhonghai had a cold face and told everything about Banggeng's injury.
After Si Zhu heard this, he was shocked:
"No way, Brother Wei Dong is a good person. A while ago, I was..."
Silly Zhu was mid-sentence, thinking that this was a scandal, and quickly swallowed it back.
"Whether Wang Weidong is a good person or not, he should be responsible for this matter!" Yi Zhonghai glared at Si Zhu with dissatisfaction.
After saying that, he curled his lips again: "Silly Zhu, you are actually responsible for this!"
"Am I responsible?" Silly Zhu was confused.
Seeing that he looked stupid, Yi Haizhong didn't bother to explain and left with his hands behind his back.
Before leaving, he left a message: "In the evening, remember to attend the conference on time to deal with Wang Weidong!"
These days, Shazhu doesn't know what's wrong with him, so he no longer sneaks leftovers into the courtyard.
The entire Jia family lived on Qin Huairu's fifteen yuan a month. Without Sha Zhu's leftovers, they could only eat black cornstarch.
Mrs. Jia Zhang must be greedy and let Banggeng go to Wang Weidong's house to steal food.
Who made Wang Weidong eat meat every day and be so greedy!
Of course, for Jia Zhang and Bang Gang, it was not stealing, but taking.
Seeing the first master leave, Shazhu froze on the spot and muttered to himself: "How is it possible for me to deal with Brother Wei Dong? But, Sister Xiao Qin..."
The fat chef heard what he said and snickered while chopping the cabbage.
Who asked you to bully me all day long? Now I'm going to be blinded.
Qin Huairu regarded that little thief as a treasure, so she must have been heartbroken.
If you want to eat hot buns again in the future, it won’t be that easy.
...
The people in the factory are chatty, and as get off work is approaching, the news of Banggeng’s accident has spread throughout the factory.
There is no way, Bangge often sneaks into the factory to steal things, and he is almost becoming a celebrity.
"Hey, have you heard that Banggeng sneaked into Wang Weidong's house, stole something, and was caught in a mousetrap."
"You deserve it, that kid is not a good guy."
"Shh, keep your voice down, Yi Zhonghai is here, and he is covering Qin Huairu."
...
Towards evening, the aunt went door to door to announce the evening meeting.
The stick's foot was pinched, and it might be necessary to have it amputated. For such a big thing, the Jia family would definitely not spare Wang Weidong lightly.
It must be resolved in a hospital-wide meeting.
Wang Weidong saw that none of the Jia family had returned. Only the useless Jia Xudong was lying in the room and feebly shouting "Hungry".
I know that this conference will not be held for a while.
Anyway, there are already countermeasures in place, so he is not worried at all.
I have promised Niu Zhijun that I will go drinking at night, so I can't break my promise.
From the ring warehouse, take out 5 pounds of pork, 10 eggs, 5 bananas, and 1 pound of white rabbit toffee and put them in a brown-green tool bag.
I originally wanted to bring another roast chicken, but then I thought it was too conspicuous, so forget it.
Niu Zhijun lives in Pipiao Hutong next door.
It is a single-family house with a large vermilion-lacquered door and a blue brick wall. There are dead branches of walnut trees sticking out in the yard and a few pots of small white flowers placed under the eaves.
Looks to be in good condition.
Knocking on the door, the person who opened the door was a short-haired middle-aged woman wearing a blue cotton-padded jacket and black pants.
She has a plump face, frowning eyebrows, and a high nose bridge. She is nearly middle-aged, but well-maintained. There is not a trace of wrinkles on her face. She looks like a young lady.
This should be Mrs. Niu.
"Hello, sister-in-law!" Wang Weidong shouted sweetly.
For some reason, when Mrs. Niu saw Wang Weidong's handsome cheeks, her eyes dimmed and she looked a little downcast.
However, he still let Wang Weidong into the main room enthusiastically.
Niu Zhijun was eating melon seeds on the sofa with his legs crossed. When he saw Wang Weidong, he quickly stood up with a happy face.
His eyes fell on the bulging brown-green canvas bag, and he frowned immediately.
"Weidong, just come. Why bring gifts?"
Mrs. Niu was quick with her hands and feet, and quickly made a cup of green tea and served it.
Angry: "That's right, I heard what your brother said today. If it weren't for you, he would be in big trouble."
Wang Weidong took the hot tea, held it in his hands to warm his hands, and said with a smile: "It's my first time here, bring some snacks for my nephew and niece."
As he said that, he looked around: "Where are the children?"
Niu Zhijun has a son and a daughter, both in primary school. They are chubby, like the dolls in New Year pictures.
"This is your home. Don't bring gifts here in the future, or you won't be allowed in."
After Mrs. Niu finished speaking, she turned around and shouted to the back room: "Niu, little girl, don't do your homework yet, Uncle Wang has brought you a gift."
Niu Xiaoniu and Niu Xiaoniu ran out jumping, with their big round eyes looking at Wang Weidong expectantly.
Wang Weidong took out 1 pound of White Rabbit toffee from his bag.
Seeing the White Rabbit toffee, the eyes of the two children lit up, and the eyes of Niu Zhijun and Mrs. Niu were straightened.
White Rabbit toffee costs two pieces per pound, so they can certainly afford it, but they are never willing to buy it for their children.
These days, everyone is tightening their belts and not willing to spend money on snacks.
Wang Weidong's monthly salary is only 47.5 yuan, but he bought so many toffees at once.
They couldn't help but feel a sense of being valued.
When they saw Wang Weidong take out 5 pounds of pork, 10 eggs, and 5 bananas from the bag, the feeling almost overwhelmed them.
In these days, even if the conditions are good, it is already very good to be able to eat one meal of meat every month.
Wang Weidong unexpectedly delivered 5 kilograms at once.
Especially bananas, which are rare things that can't be bought in stores. Wang Weidong actually got them and gave them to them.
Wang Weidong, awesome!
