Siheyuan: Why are you all here to see me?

In December, the capital entered winter. The food factory actually gave the workers winter work clothes, cotton shoes, cotton coats, and cotton pants, two sets per person. In addition, each person received half a ton of coal, four feet of cloth, ten boxes of canned fish, ten catties of cornmeal, half a catty of brown sugar, and half a catty of fruit candy. Li Gang even called it a winter heating subsidy, which was actually a disguised form of welfare.

The daughter-in-law of the Zhang family in the front yard was holding the newly distributed winter work clothes and a small cloth bag. As soon as she entered the yard, she happened to meet Yan Fugui coming out to the toilet. Seeing that the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family was holding so many things, she immediately went up to

"Qianjin wife, what are these big and small bags of yours? Are these quilts?"

Qianjin's wife Ma Cuihua said, "It's Teacher Yan. This is the winter heating benefit issued by our food factory."

Yan Fugui said one day, "What are the benefits of the food factory? I also want to see what the benefits of your food factory are like."

Ma Cuihua: "Nothing much, just two sets of cotton coats and trousers, cotton shoes, four feet of cloth, half a pound of brown sugar, ten boxes of canned food, half a ton of coal, and half a pound of sugar cubes, not much."

Yan Fugui was almost angry to death, this is not much, just winter clothes, half a ton of coal, four feet of cloth, which one is not a scarce material, which factory are you listening to, will give out so much, this is obviously showing off, what kind of life did your Zhang family live in the past, now you are so arrogant, but you still don’t have much,

Ma Cuihua looked at Yan Fugui's expression, smiled and went home. When she entered the house, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were coaxing the two children while pasting matchboxes.

"Mom, I told you not to make matchboxes anymore, so why did you do it again? There are three of us in our family earning enough to spend and we have some money left over. We don't need your money, so stop straining your eyes."

"I'm just sitting here doing nothing, I can at least have a few dollars, what did you take? It's so much, why don't you ask your dad to bring it back after get off work?"

Ma Cuihua took out things one by one with a smile on her face.

"This is what the factory gave us. Ten pounds of cornmeal, half a pound of brown sugar, half a pound of sugar cubes, ten boxes of canned fish, and four feet of cloth. This is two sets of cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded pants, and cotton-padded shoes. Oh, and there are also half a ton of coal tickets. You can go to the coal yard with the coal tickets to collect them yourself."

Zhang Liu was shocked. "These are all issued by the factory. The treatment in your food factory is too good. Our family has met a noble person. How can we repay Xiao Si for his great kindness to our Zhang family?"

Ma Cuihua: "No need to pay it back, all workers have it, it's the same,"

When Zhang Liu heard Ma Cuihua say that she didn't need to pay it back, her face changed immediately. "My dear girl, go to the food factory and ask your father to come back. Tell him that something big happened at home."

Then, without saying a word, Zhang Yufeng, the old girl, who was fourteen years old, sat on the kang without saying a word. She immediately got up from the bed, put on her shoes, and went to the food factory to find old man Zhang.

Ma Cuihua: "Mom, what's wrong with you? I didn't say anything wrong. Why do you want my dad to come back? He's at work right now. He's on a double shift today. If he asks for leave, his salary will be deducted."

Mother-in-law Zhang Liu: "Don't even mention deducting my salary. If this matter is not explained clearly, I will just quit this job."

Ma Cuihua didn't understand, so she had to wait.

More than half an hour later, old man Zhang came back home in a hurry. As soon as he entered the house, he asked, "What happened, old lady? I was at work."

Zhang Liu's face was filled with anger. "There is an ungrateful scum in our family. When Qianjin comes back, let them divorce. Although our Zhang family is poor, we know how to repay kindness. Now there is an ungrateful scum in our family. Old man, you are the head of the family. What do you think we should do about this?"

Old man Zhang's face also changed. Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Qianjin came in after get off work and saw the situation in the house. "Dad, Mom, what's going on?"

Mrs. Zhang Liu didn't waste any words and directly told Ma Cuihua what had just happened. When Old Man Zhang heard what was going on, his face turned pale and he slammed the table.

"Although our Zhang family is not a scholarly family, we are also a decent family. We must not do things that make people poke our backs, let alone be ungrateful and white-eyed wolves. Qian Jin, Cuihua is your daughter-in-law. Since she is so ungrateful and wants to be an ungrateful wolves, our Zhang family cannot accept such a daughter-in-law. If you were my son, you would get a divorce tomorrow. We can't let Xiao Si down. Look at our Zhang family's past life, and then look at our Zhang family's current life. Who in this courtyard doesn't envy us? Who gave us the opportunity to work in the food factory? It was Xiao Si of the Li family. If you don't divorce, get out of the Zhang family. We will sever our father-son relationship."

Zhang Qianjin was also panicked. Not only was he panicked, he was also very angry. Who wouldn't envy the Zhang family's current life? He used to work in the coal yard. It was hard work, and he did whatever kind of work he wanted. Now he just said that his father and wife went to work in the food factory. Who made him do hard work? Who was not kind to him? Even their director tried to please him. And this was just because someone in his family worked in the food factory.

Not to mention Li Gang, even when Xu Damao came to the coal yard to ask for coal, their yard manager would personally accompany him to drink, not to mention how much he tried to please him. Xu Damao even offered him a cigarette when he saw him. I heard from the host that the yard manager wanted to promote him to be the team leader. Who gave all these things? They were all brought by the fourth child of the Li family.

Now his wife actually said that the favor from Xiao Si should not be repaid. This was too much. His parents didn't need to get angry and ask him to divorce. He himself couldn't tolerate such an idea.

"Pa pa" Zhang Qianjin waved his hand and slapped Ma Cuihua twice, then grabbed Ma Cuihua's collar and pulled her out of the house.

Ma Cuihua also knew where she was wrong. She just said it casually, but she didn't expect such a big reaction. If she divorced and lost the Zhang family, she would definitely lose her job and she would definitely starve to death. Her family would not accept her.

Her father is even more stubborn than her father-in-law. He'd be lucky if he didn't beat her to death.

"Go ahead, go ahead, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again, I just said it casually, I won't divorce,"

This shout startled the Yan family. When they came out, they saw Zhang Qianjin grabbing Ma Cuihua and walking out, slapping her as he walked. It was a real beating.

Yan Fugui, you were showing off to me just now, why are you getting beaten up now? And what about divorce? What's going on?

No matter what, Yan Fugui is also the manager of the front yard, and one of his duties is to mediate neighborhood disputes. Isn't this exactly what he should be in charge of?

Yan Fugui stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Qianjin's arm to stop him from hitting him. He said, "If you have anything to say, we can talk about it when we get home. What's the point of a divorce?"

Zhang Qianjin couldn't tell the reason for the incident, otherwise his Zhang family would be criticized.

Just at this time, Li Gang and Liu Guangtian came back.

Li Gang was still lecturing Liu Guangtian, "I told you to keep the steering wheel, why are you always shaking?"

Liu Guangtian didn't dare to speak. Yes, Li Gang was teaching Liu Guangtian how to drive. Every time he went out to do something, he was the driver and Liu Guangtian sat in the passenger seat. This made Li Gang, who came from a later generation, always feel like he was Liu Guangtian's driver and felt awkward, so he asked Liu Guangtian to learn how to drive. However, this kid could drive, but his hands were always shaking.

"Hey, it's so cold, what are you doing? What happened?"

Zhang Qianjin quickly let go of Ma Cuihua and said, "Director Li, you're back. It's okay, it's okay. Go back, go back."

Li Gang "No, Ma Cuihua, what's wrong with your face? Who hit you? You are so brave. Who dared to hit someone from my food factory? Tell me, I will ask the security department to arrest him."

Ma Cuihua dared not speak. Zhang Qianjin said, "Director Li, there is no need for the security department. I was the one who beat him."

"Oh! You hit her. Why were you so cruel? What happened? Why did you hit your wife? Tell me."

How could Zhang Qianjin say that here? He had no choice but to drag Li Gang to Zhang's house.

In the Zhang family's house, old man Zhang and Zhang Liushi saw Li Gang coming and quickly got up to boil water and make tea.

Li Gang waved his hands quickly and said, "Don't bother. I won't drink the water. Tell me what happened. Why did you beat him like this?"

Zhang Qianjin didn't say anything, so Old Man Zhang told the story again.

Li Gang was depressed, "Hey, isn't it just a casual remark? As for divorce? Besides, I don't mind."

Old man Zhang was not happy with what Li Gang said. "We, the Zhang family, may not be a wealthy family, but we still have to maintain our dignity. We cannot tolerate an ungrateful person."

Li Gang: "Hey, forget it, just give her some education. My sister-in-law didn't mean it. Besides, she works very hard in the factory. I don't believe that she is an ungrateful person, right?"

Ma Cuihua quickly said, "Yes, yes, the factory director is right. I just said it casually. I didn't really mean it. I am still very grateful to Director Li. If it weren't for Director Li, we wouldn't know how our family would be. How could I not be grateful to Director Li?"

Li Gang: "Did you hear that? I didn't mean it at all. I think we should just get a divorce. We still have two children. We should educate them."

Old man Zhang said, "Since the factory director is begging for you and you didn't mean it, you don't need to get a divorce. But you said something wrong and you must be punished. You will kneel here tonight and reflect on your mistakes, otherwise you will get out of the Zhang family."

A farce was handled like this. Li Gang did not expect that he simply gave a job, and the Zhang family was so grateful to him.

Li Gang is a well-fed man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man. Now a job is equivalent to having food rations, especially in winter. A job at least will not starve to death. Moreover, there are two workers in his family. Not only will they not starve to death, but they will also have surplus every month. Don't you think this is a great favor?

Yan Fugui had been eavesdropping at the door. When he heard what was going on, he felt relieved. Yes, people gave you a job and food, but you don't remember their kindness. It would be strange if they didn't beat you.

The same is true for the Yang family. Their two families are next to each other. How could Old Man Yang not hear it?

Old man Yang said to his eldest son who was fiddling with the welfare benefits issued by the food factory, "Boss, you must not do something ungrateful. If I find out, I will die in front of you."

Yang Hongjun: "Dad, don't worry. I, your son, would never do such a thing that goes against my conscience. Look at our life now. We have enough to eat every day and we can eat meat. This is all given by Director Li. I will remember this kindness in my heart."

Old Man Yang said with satisfaction, "That's good, that's good. What did the factory give out this time? So much."

The family began to play with the welfare benefits provided by the factory
