In the sub-district office, the officers were also shocked by Jia Zhang's elopement, and there was silence in the office.
Yan Jiefang was a little anxious, but Yan Bugui told him to quickly invite Director Wang so that Yan Bugui could get rid of this bad thing.
"Director, your street office should come forward to resolve such a big matter."
"Yes, yes, this is indeed a big matter. In order to avoid adverse effects, it must be resolved quickly." Director Wang took a step and wanted to walk out, but she stopped again before taking two steps.
"No, the matter is indeed very serious, but how to solve it? Jia Zhang is an adult, her husband is dead, and being with another man is not a bad thing. Now is not the old society, we can't stop Jia Zhang from finally
Seek happiness”
When Yan Jiefang heard these remarks, he thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed the truth, but there was no way to let Qin Huairu cry there.
"Well, Jia Zhang took all the Jia family's money away before leaving. We can start from this aspect."
"Stealing money can be reported to the police station, but do you remember what happened to the Liu family a few days ago? Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian took Liu Haizhong's money, which is not considered theft. Jia Zhang is the oldest person in the Jia family. Logically speaking,
To be honest, she is the head of the Jia family. If she takes money from the Jia family, can it be considered stealing?"
"...Then what should we do? Should we just forget it?" Yan Jiefang felt unwilling.
After Director Wang woke up from the shock, he had already figured out that it was impossible to hide the fact that Jia Zhang had eloped with others.
Qin Huairu is not a person who seems to be dating. If the street office intervenes easily, it may give Qin Huairu the opportunity to blackmail.
"I see, Jia Zhang's elopement with others is a family matter of the Jia family. Before the situation changes significantly, it is inconvenient for our street office to intervene. We also hope that Comrade Yan Bugui can do more of Comrade Qin Huairu's work to stabilize the situation."
Her emotions.”
"Okay, okay."
The subdistrict office was unwilling to come forward, and Yan Jiefang had no choice but to return to the courtyard and tell Yan Bugui what Director Wang meant.
"Dad, that's what Director Wang said. You'd better advise Qin Huairu to stop crying."
"Huai Ru, I think let's forget about this matter. Stop crying and tidy up the house quickly." Yan Bugui had no choice but to accept the mess.
Before she finished speaking, Qin Huairu jumped up, her eyes as wide as copper bells: "What, my parents-in-law ran away with someone else, and now their life or death is uncertain, let's forget it. Those are my parents-in-law, they are awesome grandma!
She ran away with an outsider. If she suffers outside, how can I be worthy of Dongxu?"
She wished Jia Zhang would leave as soon as possible, but Jia Zhang took away the family's 120 yuan and 50 cents, and she also suspected that Jia Zhang secretly hid a lot of money.
No, it's not doubt, it's conviction.
Qin Huairu has not bought any painkillers for Jia Zhang since she was brought back from the police station.
Ms. Jia Zhang has long been addicted to painkillers. If she doesn't take them for a day, she will become irritable and restless.
If she hadn't bought painkillers secretly, she would definitely have symptoms.
Yan Bugui had a dark look on his face. Even the three-year-old child in the courtyard knew that Qin Huairu hated the Jia Zhang family.
"Well, your parents-in-law have gone to pursue a better life. At her age, she has worked hard to raise Dongxu and helped you take care of your children for so many years. It's time to take a break. You don't have to worry too much.
.”
Although Qin Huairu wanted to tear the Jia Zhang family into pieces, she had to pretend to care about the Jia Zhang family.
Since the street office did not intervene, Qin Huairu had no choice but to break her teeth and swallow it.
In the days that followed, the elopement of Jia and Zhang gradually replaced Liu Haizhong's backstabbing by his son and became a topic of discussion among the residents of the courtyard after dinner.
Time is like the woman in her forties lying on the bed, she always seems impatient.
The end of the month has come in the blink of an eye.
At the end of every month, the poverty alleviation workshop pays wages. When they got off work in the afternoon, workers lined up in a long line in front of Li Donglai's office.
In the office, Li Donglai was sitting at his desk preparing to pay wages to the workers. Next to him stood Director Liu from the finance department of the steel rolling mill.
Originally, the poverty alleviation workshop just applied the procedures of the steel rolling mill and was run independently, without the need for the involvement of the financial department of the steel rolling mill.
Li Donglai considered that there are too many envious people in this era, and the salary calculation method is relatively complicated.
Letting the Finance Department supervise can avoid disputes. Director Liu's responsibilities are similar to those of notaries in later generations.
Of course, it cannot be the kind of notary on TV who treats numbers as numbers and solemnly swears that they are valid and true.
Li Donglai was not worried about Director Liu's impartiality.
In this day and age, anyone who dares to cheat in public will have only one outcome, and that is to be swarmed by workers and beaten up.
"Director Liu, please take a look first. This is our salary schedule for this month."
"Forty-one, thirty-eight, fifty-two...hiss...Director Liu, the wages of your temporary workers are higher than the wages of regular workers. Tsk tsk, it's really amazing."
"This is all the result of the factory. As you know, Director Yang rode his bicycle all over the capital to sell the security gates in our workshop."
Li Donglai said casually and asked Qin Fen to invite the workers in.
The wages were sorted out in advance and put in cowhide envelopes with names written on them. They were placed on the table in a high pile, which was very eye-catching.
"Zhang Quandan!"
When he heard his name being called, Zhang Quandan stretched out his work clothes, rubbed his hands, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and strode in.
"Director, I am Zhang Quandan."
Li Donglai picked up an envelope and handed it to Zhang Quandan: "Comrade Zhang Quandan, you are the diligent star of our workshop this month. I would like to express my gratitude to you for your hard work. This is your labor remuneration for this month, eighty-two yuan."
money."
"Thank you, director..."
Zhang Quandan stretched out his calloused hands and took the thick envelope, his chest heaving.
A hint of uncontrollable excitement appeared on the cheeks that had lost their original color due to the torture of life, the corners of the eyes were red, and the voice was choked with sobs.
He is forty years old this year. Due to his family background, he cannot find a formal job. His wife is bedridden all year round and he has five children at home.
The daughter-in-law is in poor health and can only make paper boxes at home. The family's expenses can only be met by the little money Zhang Quandan earns as a temporary worker at the train station.
Porters' wages are low and they are hard work. Moreover, the work is not that much. They often work for two days and have two days off, and can only earn fifteen yuan a month.
Adding in the five yuan that my wife earned from pasting paper boxes, the family's total income was only twenty yuan.
The family is more frugal and does not buy food or clothes. Twenty yuan is enough to live on.
but.
My mother and daughter-in-law need nearly seven yuan a month for medical treatment and medicine.
Three of the five children are already in school and receive a tuition fee of seven and a half cents per semester.
Add in the cost of buying homework books and stationery, and on average, it costs one yuan a month for children to go to school.
There is only ten yuan left for expenses.
Although ten yuan is a small amount, Zhang Quandan has come from hard times and can barely make ends meet.
The key is that I still have two children who have already reached school age.
Seeing the children gathered around their brothers and sisters, looking enviously at their brothers and sisters doing their homework, Zhang Quandan felt very uncomfortable.
As parents, no matter how hard and tired we are, we don't want our children to suffer.
But.
He really has no choice!
He is not afraid of tiredness or hardship, and he also wants to find another job that he can do at night.
However, jobs in the capital are tight and many young people cannot find a job, let alone a middle-aged man like him who comes from a bad background.
The hardships of life tortured Zhang Quandan so much that he lost his confidence.
Fortunately, the subdistrict office took into account his family's situation and allowed him to become a worker in the poverty alleviation workshop.
The salary is high and the work is easy. Zhang Quandan cherishes this job opportunity.
In the first month, even though he was unskilled, he received the highest salary he had ever received in his life - forty yuan.
That day, I went to the vegetable market and bought half a catty of meat.
Looking at the happy faces of the children, Zhang Quandan found hope in life again.
.....
What surprised Director Liu was that Zhang Quandan's high wages did not arouse much criticism among the workers.
I suddenly sighed in my heart, it seems that the poverty alleviation workshop is really a good place.
If he is not in the cadre establishment, he would also like to be transferred from the office to the poverty alleviation workshop.
Although the wages of subsequent workers are not as high as those of Zhang Quandan, they are still much higher than those of ordinary formal workers.
"Zhang Erchui, fifty-one yuan, Liu Ermazi, thirty-five yuan... Qin Huairu, five yuan."
Qin Huairu was excited. When she heard that it was only five yuan, she was a little confused and rubbed her ears.
"Director Li, I, why do I only have five yuan? You are maliciously retaliating. I know there are conflicts between us. I have offended you before, but I have already apologized. What else do you want!"
In Qin Huairu's opinion, Li Donglai must be causing trouble because she could only get such a small amount of money after working hard in the workshop for a month.
Li Donglai picked up the salary list and looked at it, frowned and said: "Comrade Qin Huairu, you must bear responsibility for maliciously accusing others before the matter is investigated clearly. Well, here is your salary list. Do you think I am unfair?
, this is Director Liu from the Finance Department of our steel rolling mill, let him calculate your salary."
Since you don’t think it’s unfair, let the leaders of the steel rolling mill intervene and see what else you have to say!
No matter how unreasonable Qin Huairu was, she could only nod in agreement.
Officer Liu took the salary list and moved the abacus beads "para-para-para".
"Comrade Qin Huairu, the output of No. is half a unit, the output of No. is half a unit, the output desk of No., asking for leave, the output desk of No., regardless of the workers' dissuasion, forcibly used glue to treat uncleaned materials, causing the materials to be scrapped and deducted.
The salary is 50 cents... The total output is 30 units. If the material is damaged intentionally, 1 yuan will be deducted twice, and the total salary is 1 yuan."
"I'm a worker. Isn't it normal to waste materials? Why do you want to deduct my wages? The system in the workshop is unreasonable!" Qin Huairu had no way to argue in the face of the facts, but she was unwilling to give in and could only target the poverty alleviation workshop.
system.
"We workers never take responsibility for our work. Brothers and sisters, the system in the workshop is designed to squeeze us and bully us. We workers are not easy to bully. Let's go to the factory to report it together!"
When working in a formal workshop, no matter how much materials the workers waste, they will at most be criticized by the workshop director and their wages will not be withheld.
Qin Huairu felt that as long as the workers were mobilized, they would gain the right to speak and be qualified to arm-wrestle with Li Donglai.
It's a pity that the workers all knew Qin Huairu's background, and they were not fools, so they did not believe Qin Huairu's words.
Li Donglai said with a cold face: "Comrade Qin Huairu, this is a poverty alleviation workshop, not a formal workshop. Moreover, your behavior is no longer wasteful, but intentional damage. According to the reflections of comrades workers, they have stopped your irregular operations several times.
, you just don’t care about it in order to save some effort.”
As he spoke, he emphasized: "If you think there is a problem with the system of the poverty alleviation workshop, please leave the poverty alleviation workshop now!"
The workers responded one after another when they heard this.
"That's right, if you don't like our workshop, you can leave."
"Our workshop does not foster lazy people. People like Qin Huairu are not qualified to enter our workshop at all."
...
Qin Huairu only made trouble in exchange for good treatment, so she was not willing to leave the poverty alleviation workshop.
She pursed her lips, looked at Li Donglai and said: "Brother Donglai, you also know that I am just a lesbian, my hands and feet are slow, and I am really not good at work. How can I support my family with such a small salary every month?
!
Why don't you let me be in charge of quality inspection? I'm literate and I'm from the city, so I must be more careful than Qin Fen."
Qin Fen's face darkened, considering that he was from the same village. Ever since Qin Huairu entered the workshop, he had not deliberately made things difficult for Qin Huairu. Instead, he patiently taught Qin Huairu how to make security gates. He didn't want Qin Huairu's gratitude, but you can't repay kindness with enmity.
Bar!
Of course Li Donglai would not believe Qin Huairu's words, and said with a cold face: "Comrade Qin Huairu, there are two mistakes in what you just said.
First, find differences in gender. It is now advocated throughout the country that women hold half of the sky and have the same status as men. Most of our workshops are made up of lesbians, and their output and quality are no worse than gay men.
Second, although Comrade Qin Fen is illiterate, he is loyal and reliable and is fully qualified for quality inspection work. You think that you are a city man and a head above Qin Fen. This is discriminating against the members.
I think you have a big problem with your thinking, and you need to go to a study class held by the street office for a month of study."
This decision received warm applause from the workers and made Qin Huairu burst into tears.
She considers herself to be a poor household and has support from the street office.
She is a woman, and the female director will also protect her.
As a leader, Li Donglai did not dare to deal with her.
I never expected that Li Donglai would actually raise the banner of "Ideological Problems".
This is really a waste of money.
Seeing Li Donglai being enthusiastically supported by the workers, Qin Huairu felt a dull pain in her heart.
If she had persisted in Qinjiagou for two more years, this man would have become her husband, and Ding Qiunan would not have been so cheap.
