Chapter 179: Blood spilled on the garment factory
Seeing that the group of little hooligans had dispersed and the villagers who were not interested in watching the fun began to gather in their own courtyard. Tang Wei'an first closed the door, then threw his brother-in-law Wang Daohong into the main hall, took out a pack of Pegasus cigarettes worth 40 cents a pack, took out one and took a sip.
"This matter is just a few words. My brother-in-law borrowed money from those people to gamble and tricked me into pressing my handprints as his guarantor. Now, not only can't pay it back, but it's also like snowballing. If he can't pay it back, these people come to me to ask for money."
After saying that, Tang Weian glared at his wife Wang Juxiang fiercely, "I don't know what kind of virtue your Wang family has accumulated in their previous life and gave birth to such a thing."
"No matter how bad he is, he is still my brother. How can I ignore it?" Wang Juxiang naturally knew that his younger brother Wang Daohong was in a bad situation, but he had already made a fuss to this point. He couldn't watch him beaten to death by others. "This is the last time, he said that he would never bet again."
"But can we help with this situation? Where do you ask me to make up for one thousand dollars?"
Having said that, Tang Shu could roughly figure out the context of the whole thing. He had to sigh that the "My brother-supporting demon" is really a species that does not matter in the age. This is a story that a pitiful person must have something hateful.
The second girl Tang Yu, who had been hiding behind Tang Shu, showed her head and glared at her father fiercely: "So you are planning to pay off my sister's debt. I could hear it clearly last night."
After hearing his sister's words, Tang Shu obviously felt Tang Qing trembling slightly behind him, and his hand holding the corner of his clothes increased a little more force.
"That's the bastard Li Sande said that his second boy in his family is about the same age as Xiaoqing. If he really can't pay back the money, he will make a marriage between them. In the future, it will be considered a family. This matter will be revealed. I'm not a good thing, and even if I sell the house, I can't marry his family."
At this point, a hint of resentment suddenly rose in Tang Wei'an's eyes, "At worst, I can fight with him. Isn't it just a life to exchange for another? If I really force me to be anxious..."
"No, my father, you must not do anything wrong." Wang Juxiang was also panicked when she heard her husband say she was going to go and fight with the Li family. After all, Tang Wei'an is the pillar of the family. If he is gone, how can he live with his two children? "Isn't this Xiao Shu back? He works in the city and has a wide connection, so there must be a way to solve it."
Then, Wang Juxiang faced Tang Shu and knelt down directly: "Xiao Shu, second aunt beg you to help our family. I will beg you as a cow and horse to repay your kindness in the future."
This is considered a forced robbery of a woman in broad daylight. If the original owner’s memory is correct, my sister Tang Qing is still a sixteen-year-old girl. Are the hooligans in the 1980s so arrogant?
"Can't we go to the police station to report the case?"
Wang Daohong waved his hand in a hurry: "It's useless. Li Sande is an old fried dough stick in the detention center. He is very clear about the rules here. Gambling together means being fined some money for a few days. We will suffer even more after we come out."
Wang Daohong's timid appearance made Tang Shu want to slap him twice, causing such a big trouble for his second uncle's family, but now he seems like an outsider who doesn't care about his own affairs, which makes him disgusting.
But things always have to be resolved. Even if the two sisters who grew up together and have always treated Tang Shu as their biological brother, he would have to find a way to settle the account.
"I can't afford the money now. I'll think of a solution when I go back. As for Li Sande, you can hold on for a while." Tang Shu patted his two sisters' heads to comfort him, "As for Tang Qing and Tang Yu, I'll go back to the county town with me today."
Tang Wei'an glanced at Tang Shu and wanted to speak but stopped, his face full of aggrievance.
"I know that uncle is not that kind of person. Tang Qing followed me to prevent the other party from doing anything harmful to the world."
As a powerless and powerless worker, Tang Shu could only think of this method, but he knew that if this "drag-up technique" was used well, it should be able to solve the problem. You must know that it is July 1983, and there is only less than a month left before the "Eight Three Severe Crisis". He did not believe that Li Sande's actions could escape this thunder attack.
After simply packing up a few pieces to change clothes, Tang Qing and his sisters really followed Tang Shu onto the ferry. The three of them had lunch in Huayang Town. Tang Yu sat on the front bumper, Tang Qing sat on the rear of the car, and Tang Shu stepped on his bicycle towards Jiangcheng County.
"My sister was admitted to the No. 1 Middle School of the County this year, but my mother said that studying is useless and she will not let her continue to study." Along the way, Tang Yu was polite and directly listed the ten sins of her parents. Then she turned her head and looked at Tang Shu with a hint of pleading, "Brother, can you help my sister?"
"Xiaoyu, don't talk nonsense, our mother has no choice, the tuition is too expensive." My sister is ignorant, and Tang Qing still knows how to make the right decision. For the sake of her uncle's affairs, the family has been chaotic, so how could she pay her tuition? As for Tang Shu, although she is a cousin, they have already separated, and Tang Shu has no obligation to pay the money at all.
"I must read books, I will pay Xiaoqing's tuition." Tang Shu touched Xiaoyu's head, "Knowledge can change destiny. As long as you can study, you will be admitted to college in the future, and I will give you my brother."
After hearing Tang Shu's statement, Tang Qing pursed her lips and said nothing. She just quietly rubbed her slightly sour eyes while Xiaoyu started to pester Tang Shu again.
As the evening approached, the three of them returned home and temporarily arranged the two sisters in their parents' previous room. Tang Shu returned to the factory the next day to cancel the leave and officially started work.
Jiangcheng County is located in the Jianghuai Plain and is a famous granary in the country. In that era when everything is people-oriented, the demand for handmade agricultural tools was still very high. Shovels, shovels, sickles and other products are the main products of Jiangcheng Agricultural Tool Factory. Because of its good quality and wide sales, it has made a reputation. In addition, in the past two years, it has caught up with economic reforms, and the factory has started a business of large-scale agricultural machinery accessories, and the benefits are still very good.
Since joining the factory to serve his father, Tang Shu has been working in the workshop for more than two years and has quickly grown into a qualified sand turning worker. He doesn't have much work in normal times, and he only needs to sell his strength when starting the furnace and making steel.
After sweating profusely in the workshop for a long time, Tang Shu, who had done heavy work for the first time in his two lives, finally realized what it means to have no strength to speak. With the help of his coworker Shao Xianjun, he finally came to the cafeteria to get a meal.
"I said you guys have been resting for more than a month, why do you become weaker the more you rest?"
Tang Shu glanced at Shao Xianjun. Is this a lie? I am not the one who does this kind of work at all.
For him, a weak scholar, this job was impossible. Tang Shu felt that if this body did not have the muscle memory of the master of his previous life, he would definitely not be able to hold on for half an hour.
Thinking that there was a sand mountain waiting for me to climb in the afternoon, a feeling of desolation that was hopeless and desolate, instantly enveloped Tang Shu's whole body.
After having a simple lunch, Tang Shu and Shao Xianjun sat on the cement ping-pong table under the banyan tree to rest. Seeing that groups of colleagues seemed to be not as good as lunch break at all, they wiped their mouths and rushed to the workshop. Tang Shu asked suspiciously: "Are they going back to work overtime?"
Compared with later generations with material desires, this generation's ideological awareness is indeed several levels higher. In order to support national construction and generate collective income, they are willing to sacrifice their rest time. This awareness really makes Tang Su feel ashamed, "This is too hard."
"They aren't working overtime." Shao Xianjun sneered and pointed out the real purpose of the group of people rushing back to the workshop. "They plan to do private work while starting the furnace and use the waste materials in the factory to make some things and sell them for money."
"Can you still do this? Isn't this digging for socialist corners?"
"The law does not punish the public. Look, almost all the people in the workshop take advantage of it. There are leaders' relatives. Even if someone doesn't like it, they can't help it. Besides, they use waste materials, which can be regarded as waste utilization. Anyway, they are all collective things, and the leaders won't say anything. Your father was used by everyone at the time because of these waste materials. The factory can arrange fewer security teams on duty at night."
Is there such a good thing?
Tang Shu looked at the crowd who was in a hurry and looked more active than going to work. Since everyone could take advantage of this, he would be a bastard if he didn't participate. Although he would definitely not solve the urgent problem of his second uncle, he would be better than nothing. At that time, Li Sande came to force him, and he could take out some to cushion.
