After Xu Yin finished speaking, she went out to get a haircut.
She can't stand this eye-catching and eye-catching killer look for a moment!
After her daughter left, Ma Chunfang recovered from her trance and fell back in anger:
"Old Xu, look at her, how does she look like a girl? People who don't know her think she is a gangster! She actually said that she will run the house from now on? Does she think the house is easy to manage? She holds the money and does nothing.
What? I don’t think she really wants to be the boss, she clearly wants the 20,000 yuan!"
Xu Wuyi lowered his head and fiddled with the quartz clock on the table without making a sound.
He has always been soft-spoken. All the money his family has saved over the years has been used by his wife to help her parents' family and pay off her brother-in-law's gambling debts. How could he not mind?
But every time he mentioned money, his wife would wipe her tears and cry, saying that her father died early and it was all thanks to her mother to raise their five brothers and sisters, and she has been helping to raise their children all these years.
It's really not easy; she also said that she was just a younger brother, and gambling was really wrong. Every time he came to borrow money, she would take the opportunity to persuade him again and again, but if he couldn't quit, what could be done?
Chop off his hands. Seeing that he was being chased by creditors and hiding everywhere, she, as the eldest sister, couldn't bear it, so she used the family's money to help him. If he was forced to death by debt collectors, the Ma family would be in ruins.
When his wife cries, Xu Wuyi loses his temper.
Thinking about it, the couple are both old workers in the iron ore factory who have an iron rice bowl. They usually don’t have much money to spend. So let’s lend some money to my brother-in-law to pay off the debt. The family and everything will be prosperous. I hope my brother-in-law can change his ways.
However, I borrowed it time and time again, but never saw my brother-in-law return it.
It's just that his wife has always been in charge of the family's money. Although he knows that she often helps her parents' family, no matter how much she helps, the family's savings are still enough, right? After working for sixteen or seventeen years, there is not even ten or twenty thousand, but there is always three or five thousand.
Bar.
So when Lao Zhou told him not to ask for the 20,000 yuan in compensation, but to lend another 30,000 yuan to the factory to tide over the difficulties so that he could keep his job and maybe be promoted to the backbone of the factory in the future, he was really tempted, even
He was already thinking about where to borrow the missing 25,000 yuan. He really thought that his family could always borrow 3,500 to 5,000 yuan.
Now it seems that, let alone three to five thousand, my family may not even be able to pay three to five hundred.
This silenced the honest man who had always been obedient to his wife, who would not go as far as she told her, and who would praise her when she told jokes.
Since the money in the hands of the daughter-in-law is to help her mother-in-law's family, saying that she is doing business for her brother-in-law, but maybe it is also filling his bottomless pit of gambling debts, it is better to let her take care of the accounts.
No matter how bad the outcome is, the daughter will just spend it lavishly, with no return, and it will be spent on the daughter, which is better than paying off the gambling debts to the brother-in-law.
Xu's father had a plan in his mind and interrupted his wife's endless scolding: "I think our daughter is old now and we should be happy that she is willing to help the family manage the accounts. It means that she has begun to think about the family."
"but……"
"Daughter-in-law, think about it, you lent the money to our brother, what will happen to our family's life next? Things are different now, we are laid off! We don't have a fixed salary to receive every month. It's like what my daughter said about drinking from the northwest.
Is it? You have the money in your hand, and my brother comes to ask you to borrow it. Should you give it to me or not? If you give it to us, we don’t have enough money to eat and drink. I’d be embarrassed if I don’t give it to you, right? So I’ll just leave it to my daughter and look back.
Mom, when my brother asked about it, you said you were used by your daughter to start a small business."
"..."
Before his wife could retort, Xu's father struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Did you listen to what my daughter just said? Does our brother really want to go gambling in Macau with the money we got from being laid off? This is really a bit too much.
!”
"...This, this can't be true. Yin Yin is also just guessing, right? She has been at home during this period and has never been to Mushu Town. Where can she get this news?"
Ma Chunfang wanted to defend her brother, but she really had no confidence.
She likes to help her parents' family, but she is not a fool. When she calms down, she starts to doubt: her brother told her that he wants to set up shop in the town and do some small business, but he lacks 20,000 yuan of funds. Is it really just a cover?
She and Lao Xu's laid-off compensation totaled 20,000 yuan, and her brother was short of 20,000 yuan when he opened a shop. Is it such a coincidence?
Could it be that Bingzi was really lying to her?
"No, I'm going to ask Bingzi. I don't believe he even lied to me."
When she thought that her brother might be lying to her, Ma Chunfang couldn't sit still. She took off her apron, went back to the back room to pick up the white washed canvas bag, and hurried to the bus station to take the urban and rural bus back to her parents' home.
In that compartment, Xu Yin came out of her home and found the barber shop at the entrance of the factory. It was a small barber shop with a single room. There were quite a few people coming to get haircuts at this time. Xu Yin didn't want to run back and forth, so she simply sat in the corner and waited in line.
She folded her arms across her chest, leaned against a corner of a dilapidated couch, closed her eyes, and sorted out the plot she had received but had not yet had time to fully digest.
After the end of the last small world, she once again faced the task lottery of choosing one of the two.
The natural disaster hoarding article that I had not won before was still hanging firmly on the lottery machine, but I still did not win it this time.
The winner this time is the era farming novel - a period novel with the background of the layoff wave and housing reform in the mid-1990s.
The heroine's name is Zhou Jiao, and she is her next-door neighbor from Tongzilou. Before she was laid off, the conditions of the two families were almost the same——
Both parents work in an iron ore factory. Zhou Jiao is the same age as her, having graduated from junior high school this year. She has a seven-year-old brother.
When Zhou Jiao was laid off, Zhou Jiao's father, Zhou Quancai, took the initiative to express his loyalty to the factory leaders: He did not want the 20,000 yuan in compensation, but was willing to lend the factory another 30,000 yuan as long as they could continue to work in the factory. If the factory agreed.
, he will help the factory retain a few employees who are willing to pay to keep their jobs.
The factory leaders were very moved and agreed to sign a job security agreement with him.
Under Zhou's father's lobbying, many employees gradually joined the team who paid to keep their iron jobs. But the good times did not last long. After five years, the iron ore plant finally had to close down due to the hollowing out of the iron ore in the area.
closure.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because Zhou’s father signed a job security agreement with the factory at that time, which was equivalent to investing 50,000 yuan in shares, he finally received a severance package of 200,000 yuan.
The Zhou family was rich. When they renovated their house, they bought the best-facing room in the Tongzi Building and built a shop in the downtown area. The couple went to sea to start a business. At the turn of the millennium, the Tongzi Building was demolished.
The Zhou family has exchanged a single room for three relocation houses, one for self-occupation and two for rent. The rent alone is enough to feed and clothe the family.
Although Zhou Jiao, like her original self, did not study further after graduating from junior high school, she has the aura of a protagonist. During the summer vacation of her graduation year, she saved a man, who was the director of a machinery factory and gave her a job at the machinery factory.
A position was assigned.
As soon as Zhou Jiao entered the factory, she became a factory beauty and was pursued by many male employees. The factory director's son also became a scoundrel because of her, but she fell in love with the most talented but taciturn male protagonist in the design room.
Opened his heart.
After we got together, we found out that the male protagonist was actually the son of Bai Yueguang, a big boss in Hong Kong, who had been married before marriage. He had lived with his mother in the mainland since he was a child. His mother passed away a few years ago. He lost his direction and lived a miserable life. Until he was loved by the female protagonist.
After waking up, he rose up as if he had a problem. The products he designed won multiple international awards and he was hired by famous companies with high salaries.
At the same time, his biological father left him a very considerable inheritance, but he chose to stay in the mainland and bought a luxury apartment in a newly opened building near the heroine's home. The hero and heroine lived together happily ever after.
Zhou Jiao's younger brother has been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child. He got excellent grades after going to school. He is a top student with both IQ and good looks. He is very generous in getting scholarships.
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother beamed every time they mentioned their children.
On the other hand, looking back at the original family——
Xu's father is a rake, and Xu's mother is a brother-in-law. They have both worked for more than ten years. Not only does the family have no savings, but the 20,000 yuan that the factory compensated the two workers when they were laid off was used as a pretense by the natal brother who has a lot of gambling debts before they can warm up.
I borrowed it on the pretext of business. In fact, in order to make money, I was encouraged to go gambling in Macau. As a result, I lost all my money and came back and jumped into the sea.
Grandma Xu was so sad that she complained to Xu's mother, saying that if she hadn't given her the 20,000 yuan, her son would not have gone to Macau to gamble, and he would not have let her white-haired person give away the black-haired person.
Xu's mother was full of grievances. She had sacrificed so much for her parents' family over the years, but in the end she had the bad reputation of "killing her younger brother."
In addition, employees who are laid off will no longer be able to live in the dormitories for free in Tongzilou. They must either pay to buy them or move out within a time limit.
In fact, the price given by the factory is very cheap, much cheaper than the housing prices outside, but how can the Xu family have money at this time?
Seeing that many workers were spending money to buy houses, but her family had to live on the streets, Xu's mother had a nervous breakdown and drank pesticides out of mind.
The person was rescued, but his liver, kidney and nerve damage made the family worse.
Seeing that my family was so poor, I decided to go to the south to work with a little sister I met outside school.
As a result, before he could make any money, he got drunk with a glass of wine mixed with drugs and lost his innocence.
After that, she simply broke the rules and joined the red light district. One year, she was even swept into the police by the anti-pornography team.
The original person's younger brother Xu Xiao, like the original person, had been living with his grandma's house in the countryside when he was a child. Because he had more contact with his uncle, he learned to gamble at a young age.
After he went to school in the city, he often skipped class and went to the game hall to play gambling machines. He also had a dispute with the owner of the game hall because he suspected that he was playing games, and almost caused an accident. Xu's father went to the police station every three days to recruit people.
When I arrived, my temples turned gray with worry.
After graduating from junior high school, Xu Xiao followed suit and went to the south to work, and became involved with a gang boss. However, the good times did not last long, and he was swept into the police during a large-scale cleaning operation.
The siblings took a photo at the police station, but neither of them recognized each other...
"..."
After digesting all the plot, Xu Yin was silent.
Previously, she thought that she was a control group for the heroine, to set off the heroine's smooth sailing and happiness.
But now it is discovered that she is not the only one, the whole family is the cannon fodder control group!
