Lianliankan

Chapter 384 each with their own minds

Facing his mother's cross-examination, Banggeng showed a toughness that was different from his age. No matter how Qin Huairu tried to coerce and induce him, he refused to tell the truth.

Qin Huairu had no choice but to turn to her two daughters.

It's a pity that she miscalculated this time, because Banggeng was very tight-lipped this time. Although the two girls knew that their brother had obtained a sum of money, they had no idea what the specific amount was and where he got it from. .

Seeing that her two daughters seemed to be unaware, Qin Huairu suddenly became angry and grabbed the stick without saying a word, intending to give him a meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Jia Zhang immediately stepped forward to protect her grandson behind her, and shouted at Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu, I'm warning you, as long as I'm here, you can't even lay a finger on my grandson!"

Qin Huairu said with a headache: "Mom, you are still spoiling him, and he dares to steal things. If you continue like this, something will happen sooner or later."

"Bah, bah, bah! How can you be a mother like this? You even dare to curse your own son. You are so cruel!"

"Can you please be reasonable? I am obviously disciplining my child, but why do you say that I am cursing him again? The stick is the flesh that fell from my body. Do I not want to see him?" "

Is Mrs. Jia Zhang a reasonable person?Obviously not!
Therefore, as soon as Qin Huairu finished speaking, she retorted unreasonably: "If you don't steal, it's obviously taking. We are good boys. In the past, when he went to Shazhu's house to get things, wasn't it okay? "

Qin Huairu laughed angrily and asked directly: "Mom, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? Do you think others can be as generous as Silly Zhu?"

Of course Jia Zhang knew the answer, but she still chose to tell lies with her eyes open: "Didn't I tell you that he picked up the money? Why are you so stubborn?"

At this point, she suddenly whispered: "Besides, no one knows about it anyway, so why are you holding on to this matter?"

Although Qin Huairu was also spoiled by her son, she still understood the importance of her son. She sighed and said with a wry smile: "Mom, I don't have to argue with Banggeng, but stealing things is really not a good habit.

As a child, once or twice is not a big deal, but I seem to be used to it.

As the old saying goes, if you steal a needle when you are young, you will steal gold when you grow up.Aren't you worried that one day he will get into big trouble for stealing? "

Seeing that Mrs. Jia Zhang's expression was a little relaxed, Qin Huairu quickly continued: "Dongxu left early, leaving only Banggen, my son. I can't just watch him go astray, otherwise I won't be able to see him after I die." Dongxu.”

Qin Huairu's last words completely moved Jia Zhang. After all, she is an extremely superstitious person, which can be seen from the fact that she always liked to cry in mourning.

"Banggen, tell grandma honestly, where does your money come from?"

Seeing that even the grandmother who loved him the most no longer looked towards him, Bangge finally became a little scared, but he still tried to make a last stand.

"Grandma, just believe me, I really picked up that money."

Qin Huairu raised her eyebrows and when she was about to explode, Jia Zhang slapped her with her hand.

Then, the old pious woman put on a kind smile and asked in a gentle tone: "Okay, grandma believes in you, then can you tell grandma how much money you picked up?"

According to Bangge's selfish nature, he was originally willing to tell the truth whether it was life or death, but then he thought about it and realized that he still had 400 yuan hidden anyway, so handing over the 30 yuan seemed to be nothing.

After thinking about this, he finally relaxed: "I picked up 32 yuan and bought buns with one yuan, and I still have 31 yuan left."

Hearing this number, Qin Huairu's heart suddenly trembled. If she had a glimmer of hope before, it was all shattered now.

More than 30 yuan, which is more than her monthly salary. If she saves a little, it will be enough for a family of five to spend for several months. She would rather believe that such a large amount of money fell from the sky than believe it. It was picked up.

Jia Zhang's reaction was just the opposite. She was so excited when she saw the money. When she heard that it was 30 yuan, she immediately put the idea of ​​educating her grandson out of her mind. All she could think about was how to get the money.

"What a joke, it's not safe for a kid like you to hold so much money. That's good. You can give the money to grandma, and grandma will save it for you and find a wife for you in the future."

As early as when he said it, Banggeng expected that he couldn't keep the money, so he just hesitated and handed it over happily.

Jia Zhang, who felt she had made an unexpected fortune, was extremely satisfied. After receiving the money, she generously took out a piece and handed it to Banggeng.

"Grandma rewards you, don't spend it randomly!"

"Thank you grandma, I understand."

"Good boy, Bangge is really grandma's good grandson."

Qin Huairu, who witnessed all this with her own eyes, almost spat out blood from her chest.

"Mom, what are you doing? Didn't you agree to teach me what's right and wrong? Why do you still want to pay me?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang judged others by herself, thinking that Qin Huairu also wanted to make money. She subconsciously covered her pockets and said vigilantly: "Qin Huairu, this money is my grandson's filial piety. Don't think of any crooked ideas!"

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes and said sarcastically: "My eyelids are not that shallow. Don't even think about it. This is not three cents or two cents, but more than thirty yuan!"

Let’s compare our feelings. If you lost so much money, would you be anxious? Would you think of reporting it to the police? "

Mrs. Jia Zhang's face changed, and she asked her grandson anxiously: "Banggen, when you were stealing...picking up money, were you seen by outsiders?"

Banggeng confidently patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, there was no one around me at the time."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu felt relieved a little, while Mrs. Jia Zhang boasted with a smile: "My grandson is great. Grandma will cut a pound of meat tomorrow and make dumplings for you."

"Ah, it's only a pound. Grandma, please cut more meat. I haven't eaten braised pork in a long time."

Considering that her grandson had paid so much filial piety, Jia Zhang hesitated for a few seconds, then gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, then I'll cut off two kilograms and let your kid eat enough at one time."

"Grandma, you are so kind!"

Qin Huairu was too lazy to watch this drama about the deep love between ancestors and grandchildren. She pulled her two daughters to her side and explained carefully: "You all listen carefully, especially you Huaihua. If anyone asks about your brother, don't say anything." He has some pocket money recently, do you know?"

Without waiting for the two sisters to answer, Jia Zhang stepped in and scolded the two of them with a cold face: "You two losers, please listen to me. The matter of your brother picking up the money is not a word." Don't say anything outside, otherwise I want you to look good."

Xiaodang and Huaihua were so frightened that they hurriedly agreed.

Qin Huairu watched this with cold eyes. It was not until Jia Zhang finished scaring her two daughters that she stood up and acted as a good person.

"Mom, okay, I believe Xiaodang and Huaihua won't talk nonsense."

"Hmph, that's the best way."

…………

The next half month was calm, Xu Damao didn't realize that his home had been stolen, and he waited eagerly for his promotion every day.Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. Instead of waiting for his good news, he first received the news of Zhao Ye's promotion.

It was said that it was approaching noon that day, and Xu Damao, who had nothing to do, was sitting in the Publicity Department with a few colleagues bragging and spanking, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Yu Haitang walking in from outside.

Looking at Yu Haitang's slender figure and young and beautiful face, Xu Damao suddenly felt itchy and couldn't help but approach him and said, "Hey, it's Haitang. Didn't I say you're on leave for the past two days?"

As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Even though she despised Xu Damao in her heart, Yu Haitang still tried her best to put on a smiling face and replied: "I will go back to the factory to pick up something and leave immediately."

"Don't worry, it's already noon now. Let's have dinner in the factory before leaving."

"No need, it's the same wherever you eat."

"Then you're wrong. It's really different. Let me tell you, the kitchen slaughtered a batch of fish this morning. How about I treat you to some fish later?"

"This..." Yu Haitang was a little moved. Before he could decide whether to agree, he heard the radio sound.

"Hey, hey, hey, here is a personnel transfer. After research and decision by the factory D committee, Comrade Zhao Ye, a sixth-level electrician in the electrical engineering group, is now promoted to deputy section chief of the logistics department.

Since Comrade Zhao Ye entered the factory, he has always been courageous, hard-working and down-to-earth. He has many times... I will broadcast it again below..."

As the sound of the broadcast ended, the Publicity Department fell silent at first, and then someone said: "Who is this Zhao Ye? Why haven't I heard of him before?"

Another person said: "It's not easy to know who Zhao Ye is. Ask Damao. They live in the same hospital. If you can't, you can also ask Haitang. I remember that Haitang has a good relationship with Zhao Ye."

Hearing this, Yu Haitang shook his head, turned around and walked out: "I have something else to do, you can ask Xu Damao."

Behind him, looking at Yu Haitang's leaving figure, the person who spoke earlier said teasingly: "Yang Weimin is miserable. Yu Haitang already looked down upon him, but now that Zhao Ye has been promoted, he has no chance at all."

Someone asked: "From what you said, could it be that Yu Haitang and that Zhao Ye are in love?"

Xu Damao said secretly unhappy: "What are you talking about? Zhao Ye has been married a long time ago, and you must know his wife, she is Ding Qiunan, the new arrival in the infirmary."

Xu Damao's original intention was not to let Zhao Ye and Yu Haitang get together, but as soon as he heard what he said, the conversation in the office immediately changed.

"Let me go, this kid is very handsome. When Ding Qiunan came into the factory, there was a lot of commotion. Many male employees pretended to be sick and ran to the infirmary, all wanting to pick this beauty flower. Who will succeed? When I finally thought about it, I realized that she was already married a long time ago."

"People are so irritating to each other. It's really a drought. It's a flood. You think this guy is already married, so why do you still provoke Yu Haitang? He's such a loser!"

"What do you know? I guess I really can't blame Zhao Ye for this. It's probably Yu Haitang's fault."

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true. Let me tell you, I saw it with my own eyes once. Yu Haitang's eyes lit up as soon as he saw Zhao Ye, and he excitedly came over to talk. That look, tsk tsk, not to mention how intimate he was! "

"..."

Hearing the words coming to his ears, Xu Damao became more and more uncomfortable. He simply found an excuse to eat, got up and walked towards the door.

At the same time, in the fitter workshop.

Yi Zhonghai's expression was particularly complicated. He was jealous of Zhao Ye for being in a high position at a young age, but also unwilling to accept his own fate.

It turns out that just now, the workshop director privately sent a letter to Yi Zhonghai, and his promotion to team leader was revealed.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the implication behind his words was clear, that is, you, Yi Zhonghai, have offended someone you shouldn't have offended.

Yi Zhonghai was not stupid and immediately realized that this was revenge from Li Huaide.

After he figured out the way, he couldn't calm down for a long time, and he even wavered slightly about his decision to choose Silly Zhu as his retirement recipient.

There was nothing I could do about it, Silly Zhu was really capable of causing trouble. In order to help him, Yi Zhonghai spent half his life's savings, and he still had to worry about his future at his old age.

This is not looking for someone to take care of him in old age. He is clearly looking for an ancestor for himself?

But then again, the path he chose had to be completed on his knees, and apart from Silly Zhu, he had no other choice.

After hypnotizing himself again, Yi Zhonghai went straight out of the workshop and found Si Zhu lazing by the public toilet not far from the factory entrance.

"Hey, why are you here?"

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand to the side: "Let's talk in another place."

After a while, when the two of them came to a quiet place, Yi Zhonghai took the lead and asked, "Zhuzi, did you listen to the broadcast just now?"

Silly Zhu said angrily: "I'm not deaf, how could I not hear it?"

"Then you don't have any ideas?"

Silly Zhu was stunned for a moment, then said disdainfully: "What the hell, you don't want me to curry favor with Zhao Ye's grandson, do you?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and laughed: "I don't know what your temper is. How can I force you to do such a thing?"

"Then why do you ask?"

Yi Zhonghai explained: "I actually want to ask you, when are you going to look for rainwater?"

A slight unnaturalness flashed across Silly Pillar's face, and he lowered his head and said, "Otherwise, let's forget it. I'm really embarrassed to open my mouth."

"Forget it, as long as you are willing to continue cleaning toilets and remain a bachelor for the rest of your life, just pretend that I didn't say anything."

"Uh……"

Seeing that Silly Zhu had nothing to say, Yi Zhonghai once again persuaded her earnestly: "Zhuzi, you are not a child anymore, don't always take face so seriously. And no matter what, Yuyu is your biological sister, you and her What’s not good to say?”

Silly Zhu smiled bitterly and said: "But as long as I think about Yu Yu going to ask Zhao Ye, I feel very uncomfortable."

Yi Zhonghai said disapprovingly: "You really care less than you care about. That girl from Yuyu has a good relationship with Zhao Ye. They might just mention it casually, so why do you need to think about it?

You heard me right. Go find Yuyu as soon as you get off work. While Zhao Ye is enjoying the spring breeze today, let Yuyu tell you about it. I'm sure there will be no problem. "
