Sure enough, as expected by Deputy Director Li, Xu Damao was speechless for a long time after hearing the punishment given to him by "Director Yang". He was stunned in the factory as if struck by lightning.
After a long time, until Deputy Director Li felt that Xu Damao had been completely frightened, he heard Xu Damao murmur again:
"I didn't expect Director Yang to be so heartless. I thought he had a good personal relationship with my father-in-law, and he was trained and promoted by my father-in-law...
It’s okay if you don’t help me now and clear my grievances. It’s really too much to add insult to injury like this..."
Deputy Director Li was very happy when he heard this, but he didn't show it on his face. He only said with an expression of regret:
"Oh, I just regret that I haven't completely taken control of the steel rolling mill now, otherwise I would have tried my best to rescue you anyway...
Damao, don’t be discouraged. The Publicity Department is under my jurisdiction. As for your punishment, I will wait for a while before announcing it. There is still room for operation now...
After all, your father-in-law is the former chairman of the steel rolling mill. Although he is no longer in power now, no matter what, his previous contacts must still be there...
I can't let you out now, but I also brought a pen and paper. Otherwise, you can write a letter and I will deliver it to Chairman Lou personally. What do you think..."
After hearing what Deputy Factory Director Li said, Xu Damao's heart immediately ignited a fire of hope, and his face was full of expectation.
Upon seeing this, Deputy Director Li quickly took out a pen and paper, but before he could hand it to Xu Damao, he saw Xu Damao slumped to the ground again, shaking his head with a wry smile on his face.
"Da Mao, this is the only way to save you. Hurry up and write. Why are you still standing there?
I won't be able to suppress your punishment for too long. It won't be long before the entire factory is informed. After all, Director Yang is watching...
Don't waste your time now, write the letter quickly, and I will send it to Chairman Lou's house immediately. This operation also takes time...
You can't lose hope now, no matter what, write this letter first..."
Xu Damao felt distressed in his heart as he listened to Deputy Factory Director Li's "噂噂education". As long as there was a little hope, why wouldn't he want to ask for help?
It's just that his father-in-law, Chairman Lou, has never been kind to him. He only gave him a good look when he first got married to Lou Xiao'e, and his attitude became worse and worse later on.
I have always scolded him for his "small peasant mentality" and have always scorned his ideas.
If this matter had happened in the past, even if Chairman Lou was resentful, for the sake of his own reputation and Lou Xiao'e, he might be able to mediate for him.
But the bad thing is that his idea of becoming the head of the Publicity Department was strongly opposed by Chairman Lou from the beginning, thinking that Xu Damao did not have real materials.
Moreover, he thought that his promotion was secure two days ago, so he directly filed for divorce with Lou Xiao'e, and Lou Xiao'e also agreed.
Moreover, what happened last night, Lou Xiaoe also expressed her attitude in front of everyone in the courtyard that she must divorce him.
Now I guess Lou Xiao'e has gone home and reported it to her parents. Maybe Lou's family has already gone to the street office to apply for divorce.
If he went to see Chairman Lou now, he might have just been devolved to labor reform, but after he went to the Lou family, he would be directly expelled.
Thinking of this, Xu Damao was extremely desperate and his face was ashen. He neither took the pen and paper handed over by Deputy Director Li nor spoke.
When Deputy Factory Director Li saw Xu Damao's face turned pale, he just thought that the other party had molested the old woman, and felt uncomfortable opening his mouth to Chairman Lou.
So Deputy Director Li stepped forward and shook Xu Damao several times, until Xu Damao's eyes were filled with stars. After a hangover, his stomach was in turmoil, and he immediately fell to the ground and vomited wildly.
When Deputy Director Li saw all the filth Xu Damao vomited and the strong smell of digested grains filling the air, he couldn't help but retching.
However, in order to achieve his own goal, Deputy Director Li still suppressed the nausea in his heart and continued to deal with Xu Damao crazily, but Xu Damao still looked like he was "not getting enough".
Seeing that Xu Damao still showed no sign of taking any action, Deputy Director Li finally lost his patience and said with an expression of hatred that iron cannot be transformed into steel:
"I've shown you the way. If you don't walk on your own, there's nothing I can do about it. In the days to come, just ask for your own blessings..."
Deputy Director Li walked away without arousing any reaction from Xu Damao. He was still sitting on the ground blankly, not knowing what he was thinking...
However, it was said that Xu Damao's relatives in the city rushed to the countryside early in the morning after learning about the incident and informed Xu Damao's parents about the incident.
After Xu Damao's parents learned that Xu Damao was "playing hooligan" against Jia and Zhang, they rushed to the courtyard where Xu Damao lived.
Although the two of them don't know the cause and effect of the incident, they know what kind of character their son has been since he was a child.
Although Xu Damao is a bit lustful, there is no cat in the world that doesn't steal sex. This is human nature.
But being lustful is lustful, and perhaps Damao's most basic aesthetics is still online. No matter how hungry he is, he will never have any undue thoughts about an old woman in her fifties.
But now, regardless of whether Xu Damao "played hooligan" against Jia Zhang or not, the matter has come out, and the two elders immediately decided to take action against the "victim" Jia Zhang.
When the two arrived at Jia Zhang's house in the courtyard, Jia Zhang was sitting at the door basking in the sun and making shoes, just like every day in the past.
The moment she saw Xu's father and Xu's mother, Jia Zhang's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but feel a little panic.
She, Father Xu, and Mother Xu have also been old neighbors for many years. They have lived together in the courtyard for many years. She also knows the temper and character of these two people quite well, and knows that these two people are not easy to mess with.
If Xu Damao is a poisonous snake, then Xu's father and Xu's mother are like cobras.

Therefore, as soon as Mrs. Jia Zhang saw these two people entering the courtyard, she quickly stopped making shoes, packed up the shoe frames and walked into the house.
When Xu's father and Xu's mother saw this, they were suddenly shocked. Now only if Jia Zhang writes a letter of understanding, can Xu Damao be rescued.
And it was clear that Mrs. Jia Zhang didn’t want to talk to the two of them, so how could Father Xu and Mother Xu not panic?
The two of them followed Jia and Zhang's footsteps, shouting "Sister-in-law, don't leave in a hurry" as they hurried forward.
Fortunately, the two of them acted quickly and were able to use their bodies to block the closing door of Jia and Zhang's family at the moment it was closed.
"Sister-in-law, let's talk..."
"I have nothing to talk to you. Don't even think about bullying me. Let me tell you, everyone in the courtyard is here right now..."
Mrs. Jia Zhang is really panicking now. Xu Damao's parents have returned to the countryside since Xu Damao got married and have not been to the city for so many years.
If something had not happened to Xu Damao this time, these two elders would not have come out. Jia Zhang was really afraid that they were here to cause trouble for her.
Qin Huairu went to work, and Qin Xiaoli didn't know who she was hooking up with, so she ran out early in the morning. Banggeng was at the age where she liked to have fun, so she ran out to have fun after breakfast...
Now she is the only one at home, an old woman and a little boy who can't walk very well. If something really happens, Jia Zhang is really worried that she won't be able to handle it alone.
"Hey, sister-in-law, what are you talking about? How could we bully you? Don't think too much about it..."
"That's right, sister-in-law, we just heard that Damao hurt you. He came from the countryside early this morning. You have to open the door no matter what. Let's talk..."
"Open the door first. We definitely don't mean to bully you. Let's talk and see how much compensation you need..."
"Yes, we will compensate you. You don't remember the faults of villains. Please let Xu Damao go..."
Jia Zhang, who was pressing her body against the door with all her strength, immediately became excited when she heard about "compensation"!
Yes, Xu Damao is scornful of her, and she is the "victim". Moreover, Xu Damao has not come back since he was arrested by the security department of the steel rolling mill last night.
Now that she, Jia Zhang, has taken the initiative, it seems that the Xu family has given in and wants to sue for peace.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Jia Zhang no longer stopped her. After letting the two people in, her expression remained unkind and she only said coldly:
"If you have anything to do, just tell me and leave as soon as you're done!"
Father Xu and Mother Xu saw how disrespectful Jia and Zhang were, and their hearts filled with anger. They thought back then, when Jia and Zhang were orphans and widowed, they were single and weak, but they had always been trampled under their feet by the Xu family.<
/p>
But I didn't expect that thirty years ago in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, today the Jia and Zhang family have become completely indifferent and become the one who manipulates them.
But even though they were filled with rage, Xu's father and Xu's mother didn't dare to show anything on their faces.
After Xu's mother turned around and locked the door of Jia Zhang's house, she moved a bench to sit next to Jia Zhang and said with a smile on her face:
"Sister-in-law, this is our family's fault. But he was drinking too much at that time. I can swear to you that he must have done this unintentionally...
But even if it is unintentional, I know that I have caused indelible harm to you. I will first apologize to you on behalf of my son Xu Damao. You must not be the same as him..."
Xu's mother is responsible for the emotional offensive, while Xu's father is responsible for negotiating compensation. This is a consensus reached by the two before they came.
Moreover, Xu's father also knew in his heart that even if there was grievance in Xu Damao's matter, it has now come to an end and there is no possibility of turning around.
He also made up his mind in his heart, and this time he would directly focus on money. Based on his understanding of the Jia Zhang family, what this old woman loves most is money, and it is impossible not to be tempted.
So as soon as Xu's mother finished speaking, Xu's father immediately spoke:
"Sister-in-law, we have also been neighbors for many years, and we know each other's temperament quite well...
See how much compensation you want before you sign this letter of understanding to Xu Damao. Just tell us directly and ask for anything you want..."
Mrs. Jia Zhang originally hated Xu's mother's "sugar-coated bullets" and felt that the other party was looking for excuses to trick her into opening the door. After that, she turned around and wanted to kick them out again.
After listening to Xu's father's words, Jia Zhang put aside the idea of driving people out for the time being.
But she was alone at home. Although she had thought about the possibility that Xu Damao would lose money before she slandered him, she had been thinking about it by herself.
She never consulted with anyone else from beginning to end. After all, this trick was too insidious. Even if others knew there was a risk of leakage, she was also afraid that others would look down on her for it.
When this idea first sprouted in her mind, Jia Zhang also thought about discussing it with Qin Huairu.
But at that time, Qin Huairu was immersed in the sadness that Bangge had lost five yuan because of stealing vegetables, so she didn't take Jia Zhang's inquiry to heart.
Therefore, the Jia Zhang family gave up the idea of discussing with others. At this moment, facing the inquiry from Xu Damao's father, the Jia Zhang family was instantly one of the top two.
She didn't know how much impact this matter would have on Xu Damao, so Jia Zhang could only tentatively say:
"Three... no, at least eight hundred. This Xu Damao didn't just affect my innocence yesterday...
He bullied me a lot before. If the compensation is less, I don’t think I can let him learn a lesson..."
Jia Zhang was just bluffing at this time. She thought that calling for eight hundred yuan would give her room for bargaining.
According to Xu's father and Xu's mother's character, they must bargain with her. If they shout too low, they will definitely not be able to reach an agreement later.
Sure enough, as Jia Zhang expected, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard Father Xu say:
"Sister-in-law, you are talking like a lion. We definitely can't give you this amount..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Xu's mother initially thought that one or two hundred yuan would be enough. After all, these days, five yuan is enough for a person's food expenses for a month.
But it was unbelievable that Mrs. Jia and Zhang would dare to ask for eight hundred yuan. These days, the gift for marrying an innocent girl is only ten or twenty yuan. Could it be that she thought she was a fairy?
Moreover, it remains to be discussed whether Xu Damao is scornful of Jia Zhang. They are willing to talk just because they are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
Xu's mother was really angry when she looked at Jia Zhang's big fat face, fat waist and plump cheeks, but Xu Damao was her only son.
Therefore, Xu's mother could only hide her dissatisfaction and discussed with Jia Zhang with a flattering face:
"Yes, sister-in-law, your eight hundred yuan is too much. Where do we have so much money..."
Then Xu's father and Xu's mother talked to Mr. Jia and Zhang in a friendly manner. They talked for more than half an hour, and they were all dry with words.
As a result, the more humble these two people became, the more arrogant Jia Zhang became. Later, she slapped the table and said angrily:
"No! At this price, eight hundred yuan, not even a penny less, otherwise I will definitely not sign your letter of understanding..."
Seeing Mrs. Jia Zhang's triumphant expression, Xu's father was immediately filled with anger.
When he heard Jia Zhang's first words of 3, he guessed that Jia Zhang's psychological price was about three hundred, so he originally planned to negotiate at this price.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Jia Zhang was afraid that she could see their eagerness to rescue Xu Damao, so she held on to the eight hundred yuan and refused to let go.
Xu's father was angry for a moment, and regardless of Xu's mother's obstruction, he said angrily to Jia Zhang:
"Three hundred yuan, this is the most money we can afford. If you agree, you will sign this letter of understanding immediately...
If you insist on asking for these eight hundred yuan, then we, the old couple, can only pretend that Xu Damao has no son and let him go to jail..."
