After Xu's father said this, he glanced at Xu's mother, and then made a gesture to leave.
When Xu's mother saw this situation, she understood immediately. She grabbed Jia Zhang and said:
"Sister-in-law, three hundred yuan is enough. Your son Jia Dongxu died in a work-related accident, and the steel rolling mill only paid more than two hundred yuan...
My son Damao’s unintentional act, do you really want to kill him like this? Are you so cruel..."
After hearing what Xu's father said, Jia Zhang felt a little panicked. She had never been hurt by Xu Damao in the first place.
Now Lou Xiao'e insists on divorcing Xu Damao because of this matter, and Xu Damao's position as chief of the propaganda department must have been lost.
In fact, this has already achieved her goal. If Xu's father and Xu's mother can provide compensation, this will be regarded as a free benefit, and she can accept it even if it is less.
It's just that Jia Zhang still wants to get some music. If Xu's father and Xu's mother really want Xu Damao to go to jail because he wants too much.
That means she won't get a penny in compensation, which is what Jia Zhang doesn't want to see.
But now that she heard Xu's mother say this, Jia Zhang always felt that there seemed to be some room for maneuver, so she tried to speak unforgivingly:
"Hmph, this is different. How can Xu Damao be compared with my son Dongxu? My son sacrificed his life for the progress of the steel mill...
Your son Xu Damao has a corrupt moral character and has done things that are outrageous to both humans and gods. How can you compare these two things..."
What Jia Zhang didn't expect was that her words would directly cause trouble. Xu's father, who had already reached the door, turned around and yelled at Jia Zhang with an angry face:
"Zhang Cuihua, let's not talk secretly. Has my son Damao really done anything inappropriate to you?
Don't think that you have hidden it from everyone. I still know my son Damao's character very well. Although he is lustful, no matter how much he drinks...
He can still tell the difference between a human and a ghost, between beauty and ugliness. Now that he has been unjustly arrested, we, the old couple, don’t care and are here to talk to you about the whole story...
Unexpectedly, you actually slandered him in front of us, which is unbearable, you are really going too far...
Even if I go out of my way to beg for help today, I won’t beg you again. You can just live without conscience for the rest of your life..."
When Jia Zhang looked at Xu's father, whose eyes were splitting, she was so frightened that she fell to the ground and couldn't recover for a long time.
Xu's mother has a loving mother's heart. Seeing that the negotiation between her man and Jia Zhang failed, Xu's father was about to leave again, and Xu's mother was also in a hurry.
But in the face of Xu's father's pressure, Xu's mother did not dare to say anything for a while, so she had no choice but to follow Xu's father's footsteps and walk out the door.
Looking at Xu's father, Xu's mother really looked like she had no intention of rescuing Xu Damao. Now Jia Zhang did not dare to maintain her posture anymore, and directly rushed over to grab Xu's father's trousers.
After all, Jia Zhang's goal has been achieved. If the compensation she received just flew away, Jia Zhang would really not be reconciled.
And although Xu's father is usually a secretive person, his private connections must be quite good.
Otherwise, Xu Damao would not be allowed to marry Lou Xiao'e, the wealthy daughter of the former chairman of the Zha Steel Factory.
If she just accepts some compensation, she and Jia Zhang will be able to maintain a superficial calm with the Xu family in the future. After all, Bangge is still young now and she only has two women in her family.
If Xu's father is really offended, I really don't know what drastic actions he will make in the future.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Jia Zhang changed her previous condescending attitude and said to Xu's father with an apologetic smile:
"Oh, oh, why are you so angry? You can't talk about anything...
Why are we leaving all of a sudden? We have been neighbors for many years. No one wants something like this to happen..."
After Jia Zhang finished speaking, she saw that Xu's father was unmoved, but Xu's mother paused for a moment, and she knew in her heart that the other party still wanted to rescue Xu Damao deep down.
So Jia Zhang continued to say to Xu's mother:
"Oh, you are just such a son, and I am also a mother. How could I not understand my mother's heart...
I am only willing to talk for your sake. You should also advise the men in your family not to really let Xu Damao suffer...
After all, we have been neighbors for many years, and I watched Damao grow up, so I really can’t bear it..."
When Xu's mother heard this, she also grabbed Xu's father and stopped him from taking steps forward with her eyes. She turned back to Jia Zhang and asked:
"Ms. Jia Zhang, are you really willing to sign the letter of understanding?"
Seeing that Xu's mother was coming back to talk again, Jia Zhang got up from the ground, rushed to Xu's side, took her arm and said with a smile:
"Hey, can this be false? My words, Zhang Cuihua's, are like water thrown out. I said I would sign a letter of understanding for you and I will definitely sign it for you...
It's just that the compensation you just promised will be paid to me right away. After all, I was indeed hurt..."
After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Mother Xu suppressed her annoyance and immediately took out the handkerchief she had prepared from her pocket.
In front of Mrs. Jia Zhang, she opened the layered handkerchief and said:
"Oh, cash it, cash it, we all have it with us..."
Father Xu saw that the two old ladies had reached an agreement. Even though he was still angry with Jia Zhang, he did not dare to show it anymore.
After all, Jia and Zhang are now taking the initiative, and the other party has agreed to sign the letter of understanding, so there is no need to cause trouble at this stall.
Even so, it is impossible for a grown man like him to have a good look towards Jia Zhang.
Therefore, Xu's father just silently took out the letter of understanding he had prepared from his pocket and handed it to Jia Zhang.
By the time they got Jia Zhang's letter of understanding, it was already close to noon. The two of them hadn't even eaten breakfast and were already ravenous by now.
But because Xu's father and Xu's mother care about Xu Damao, after they left Jia Zhang's home, they left the compound without stopping, planning to go directly to the steel factory to rescue Xu Damao.
As soon as they walked out of the courtyard gate, they met Lou Xiao'e's family of three.
At this time, Xu's father and Xu's mother had not heard about the divorce between Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e. So as soon as Xu's mother saw the Lou family, she trotted forward and said:
"Ezi, your dad and I are going to the steel mill to find the leader right now. You go with us..."
Facing Xu's mother, Lou Xiao'e felt extremely bored. As early as during her marriage to Xu Damao, the old woman often found some so-called old Chinese medicine doctors from ten miles and eight villages.
She was given all kinds of messy secret recipes for giving birth to children. The Chinese medicines were all horribly bitter. After drinking the medicine, Lou Xiaoe lost her appetite and always felt nauseous and retched.
However, every time the old woman saw her feeling nauseous and retching, she thought it was an early pregnancy reaction, but every time it was a misunderstanding.
But despite this, the old woman didn't think that the decoction didn't work, and instead went out of her way to prescribe more decoctions.
Not to mention that every time during the holidays, Lou Xiaoe followed Xu Damao back to the countryside, and the old woman would surround her and ask, "Are you pregnant?" and "Do you want to eat sour food recently?"...
These behaviors of Xu's mother have long annoyed Lou Xiao'e. In the past, it was just for Xu Damao's sake that she didn't have any attacks.
Now that she has seen clearly what Xu Damao is like, she no longer has the superficial respect for Xu Damao that she had before.
Therefore, facing Xu's mother's invitation, Lou Xiao'e just coldly pulled away the other party's hand holding her own, and then said with an unhappy face:
"No need, you two can go and see it by yourselves. I still have something to do with my parents..."
When Xu's mother heard what Lou Xiao'e said, she immediately felt unhappy. After all, Lou Xiao'e had not even given birth to a child for so many years after she had been married into the Xu family.
And she always looked like she wasn't in a hurry. Unfortunately, her mother-in-law often took care of preparing those soups and medicines for her, which cost a lot of money.
If she hadn't taken into account the relationship between her and Lou Xiao'e's mother, she would have kicked Lou Xiao'e out a long time ago.
She thought to herself that she was very good to Lou Xiao'e, but now that something happened to Xu Damao, it would be fine if Lou Xiao'e didn't use her father's connections to rescue Xu Damao.
He actually didn't even want to follow them to see Xu Damao, which really made Xu's mother feel angry.
Thinking like this, Xu's mother was not polite and complained to Lou's mother:
"Hey, it's not that I, the mother-in-law, talk nonsense, it's really that Ezi is not decent in his behavior...
Damao is her man no matter what. How can she just ignore it? You should go and see it no matter what...
I know that Ezi is feeling bitter, but you, my son Damao, also know that this is all caused by drinking, it is just a misunderstanding...
Now, look, this Jia and Zhang family signed a letter of understanding to my son Damao, and she also said it was all a misunderstanding, and this Ezi is too angry..."
At first, Lou's mother rushed home early in the morning to Lou Xiao'e, and when she bluntly stated that she wanted to divorce Xu Damao, she strongly opposed it, thinking that the couple was just having another conflict.
Originally, she planned to persuade her, but after Lou Xiao'e explained the cause and effect clearly, Lou's mother sighed that she was blind in front of her.
When Lou's father and Lou's mother saw that Lou Xiao'e had suffered such a great injustice, they didn't waste any more time and immediately took Lou Xiao'e to the street office.
The fact that Xu Damao "played hooligan" with Zhang Cuihua, an old woman in her fifties, last night has been spread by everyone in the courtyard, so the staff of the sub-district office also know this breaking news.
Therefore, Lou Xiaoe's family just came to the street office, and everyone knew that they were here to get a divorce.
In view of Xu Damao's behavior and the fact that Lou Xiao'e's father was also a person with status before.
Therefore, even if Xu Damao was not present, the subdistrict office handled the matter of dissolving the marriage between him and Lou Xiaoe very quickly.
At this time, the Lou family had just finished the divorce of Lou Xiaoe. They planned to go back to the courtyard to thank the deaf old lady in person for taking Lou Xiaoe in these days, and then take Lou Xiaoe home directly.
Unexpectedly, they bumped into the Xu family, who was deeply disgusted at this time, at the entrance of the courtyard.
Lou's mother was already resentful towards Xu Damao, and now she heard what Xu's mother said, and she felt even more angry.
Her face visibly collapsed, and then she ignored the friendship she had had with Xu's mother for many years and said angrily to the other party:
"Whether Xu Damao was unjustly accused of playing gangster against Jia Zhang or it was true, it has nothing to do with us Ezi...
I might as well tell you directly that our Ezi has divorced your son Xu Damao...
From now on, our Ezi is no longer the daughter-in-law of your Xu family, and you have no right to make irresponsible remarks to our Ezi anymore..."
Lou's mother kept talking, as if she was afraid of Xu's father, but Xu's mother didn't believe it, and took out the certificate of dissolution of marriage from her pocket.
After listening to Lou's mother's words, Father Xu and Mother Xu froze on the spot as if struck by lightning. When they saw the other party taking out the certificate, they also grabbed it.
I saw that the certificate was indeed written clearly and clearly, and it was also stamped with the red seal of the street office. It was definitely the divorce certificate of Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe.
When Xu's mother saw this proof, she almost couldn't stand. Xu's father was quick to help her, otherwise she would have fallen to the ground.
Xu's mother took Father Xu's hand and took several deep breaths before slowly calming down. Then she grabbed Lou's mother and said:
"You Lou family can't be like this. In the past, your family was not good enough and no one wanted Lou Xiao'e. It's our Damao who don't dislike this...
Only then could Ezi find her husband's family as she wished, otherwise she might still be an old girl now...
This Ezi has been married to our old Xu family for several years, but she has not even given birth to a child, and we have not said anything about kicking her out...
How come you immediately asked Lou Xiaoe to divorce Damao as soon as something happened to Damao? It’s so unkind to not be so kind as you..."
These words of Xu's mother immediately made Lou's mother furious. Regardless of her years of pampering and elegance, she pointed her index finger at Xu's mother and said angrily:
"You still have the nerve to talk about our Ezi? I think you don't know Xu Damao at all. It was Xu Damao who proposed this divorce...
And let me tell you straight, it’s not our Ezi’s fault for not being able to have a child, it’s your Xu Damao’s fault..."
Seeing that Lou’s mother had lost her usual elegance and dignity, the words she spoke were like the north wind blowing in winter, which hurt her face.
Not to be outdone, Xu’s mother said to Lou’s mother:
"Huh, you old woman is really shameless when it comes to talking. Do you know if our Damao is good? Have you tried it yourself?
It's really funny. Is this son-in-law okay? He acts like a daughter and doesn't speak, but this mother-in-law speaks first...
Hey, everyone, come and take a look, there is a shameless old lady here, what she says is really fresh..."
Listening to Mother Xu's words becoming more and more obscene, and shouting at the passers-by at the top of her lungs, Mother Lou was so angry that she was shaking all over.
When Lou Xiao'e saw this, she quickly patted Lou's mother on the back, but she was really not good at this obscene way of arguing, so she could only cry anxiously on the side...
