The mouth that eats people is short, and the hands that take people are soft.
Having eaten food from the He family, one should naturally be happy and cheerful upon seeing them.
There was only one person, with a long face.
Every time the factory improved the food, he felt like crying his heart out.
He is Liu Haizhong!
Just as He Hongyang said, he was excluded from any benefits the factory offered.
Whenever they wanted to improve their diet, Sha Zhu would never give him meat.
The people in the cafeteria knew what was going on, and none of them gave him any meat!
Not only did he not have it, but his son Liu Guangqi did not either.
Liu Haizhong searched several times, but no one was on his side.
Everyone thought he was being unreasonable, and that He Hongyang had done the right thing and should be taught a lesson so that he wouldn't be envious and jealous anymore.
When Liu Guangqi heard that it was his fault, and that he had actually gone to the man's wife and mother-in-law's house, he was shocked.
It's just a little more or less, what does it matter?
Because of his petty and calculating nature, he is now being ostracized at the factory.
“It’s all because of you that I can’t improve my life. Do you know that I’m now shorter than everyone else in the factory?”
.... .. ....
“Every time I see the big, white, fatty pieces of meat and the greasy mutton soup in their bowls, I feel like I want to die.”
"Why am I the only one who can't afford to eat or drink? It's all because I'm your son! Being your son is utterly shameful!"
Liu Haizhong was already seething with anger, and then he heard his son say such things about him.
He is the eldest son of the Liu family, and they will rely on him to carry on the family line in the future.
With his condition, let alone establishing a household, it would be difficult to even provide for him in his old age and see him off in his final days.
"I think you're just asking for a beating. Do you think I want to? What does this have to do with me? It's obvious that He Hongyang is trying to cause trouble for our family."
"As the eldest son in the family, you not only lack the ability to stand up to him, but you also act like a bully within your own household."
"I think you're hopeless. All that effort I put into getting you such a good job through connections was for nothing."
Liu Guangqi listened as he continued to argue and flaunt the grandeur of his hometown.
This is a factory, not a courtyard house, and certainly not his home!
It was precisely because of his actions that he suffered a loss.
He has always been arrogant and condescending, constantly suppressing his brothers.
Their inability to resist is what led to the current situation!
If he had stood up and stopped him when he went to the He family, none of this would have happened.
Right now, nothing is more important to him than being able to eat a few pieces of meat and sit with everyone to improve his life!
“If you continue like this, I will move out of this house and disown you as my father. I will then tell He Hongyang that I am not a member of the Liu family, and he will not have to worry about you. I will let him improve his life like everyone else.”
Liu Haizhong was so angry he almost smoked.
He actually wanted to disown his own father just to get a meal of meat!
He's grown up now, has a job, and feels empowered; he wants to leave home and fly far away.
Go dream!
As long as they are Liu Haizhong's sons, they must obediently follow his orders and listen to his words.
Want to break away from the Liu family? No way!
"If you dare say something like that again, I'll beat you up right here in the factory!"
Liu Guangqi snorted: "Do you think I'm still a child that you can hit at will? Don't forget I'm all grown up now. I have my own thoughts and I won't be controlled by you anymore."
"You little brat, I think you're trying to rebel. You want to leave? If you've got the guts, then get out of here. Anyway, I still have two sons at home."
“My two younger brothers think the same way I do. If you continue to treat them like this, they will leave sooner or later once they find jobs.”
"Then get out of here."
"The reason I'm not leaving now is because of Mom. If it were for your sake, the three of us brothers would leave together."
"Get out of here, all of you!"
"Don't worry, we will leave one day."
After saying this, Liu Guangqi left without looking back.
Liu Haizhong, who had been fuming, now squatted down on the ground like a deflated toad.
He can treat his own son like this!
Isn't it all for a meal? Isn't it all for improving our lives?
The thought of this.
His stomach was growling with hunger.
Although I pretended to be very assertive just now.
But if he doesn't talk to He Hongyang and make things clear, he won't be able to explain it to his wife or his son when he gets back.
During this period, my second aunt has been making veiled accusations and insults at home every day.
It's because everyone else brought back food, but he brought back an empty lunchbox.
Even though that's what he just said about his son.
But seeing the big, fatty pieces of meat in other people's bowls, he also felt a strong urge to eat them.
172. The Obedient Qin Sisters
night.
They quietly arrived at the He family's house.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Hongyang, it's me. I've come to apologize to you."
As he spoke, he glanced around.
He was afraid that others would hear him and he would lose face.
He Hongyang knew why he had come, so he didn't open the door for him at all.
The only thing you can do with your bangs is to speak louder.
"Hongyang, are you home? I've come to apologize to you!"
He Hongyang, sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), shouted, "What did you say? I didn't hear you."
Liu Haizhong glanced around again.
I had no choice but to raise my voice again and say it again.
He still insisted that he hadn't heard it.
Finally, he decided to unleash his ultimate move.
He took a deep breath and shouted like a megaphone, "I've come to apologize to you. It was all my fault before, please forgive me!"
This sound pierced through the front, back, and central courtyards.
Auntie Er heard it all while sitting at home.
Upon hearing that her man had to apologize...
She thought happily: This is great, my family can finally improve our living conditions.
Liu Haizhong stared longingly at their house: "Did you hear that?"
"heard it!"
Since he heard it, does that mean he has forgiven himself?
Liu Haizhong excitedly asked again, "Is there something you want to say to me?"
He Hongyang waved his hand out of the window and said, "Let's go."
I shouted and apologized, all I got in return were these two words.
Liu Haizhong said unwillingly, "Then can I improve my life like everyone else in the future?"
"no!"
Then He Hongyang pulled his curtains shut.
Liu Haizhong was almost in tears.
He never forgave himself.
It seems this knot can't be untied.
How do I explain this to my wife and son when I get home?
He really wants to slap himself a few times right now.
Why did you go to their family? Why were you so aggressive back then?
Even after pleading so earnestly since July 27th, I still haven't been able to gain his understanding. It seems that he still won't get a share of the improved living conditions at the factory in the future!
...
Qin Jingru has arrived.
Although she was only a teenager, she stopped going to school early and stayed home to help with chores.
The family felt that although Qin Huairu married into the city, they never benefited from it.
The harvest from the fields is getting worse year by year.
They wanted Qin Jingru to stay at the Jia family's house for a while.
It's good to benefit from it too.
At least one less person will be eating at home, and maybe they can even send some things back every now and then.
Qin Huairu was especially happy.
After all, this was the first time her family members had come to stay.
They gave Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu a heads-up in advance.
“Don’t think that Jingru is my cousin. She’s just like my own sister. When she comes here, our family must provide her with food and lodging. We must not give her a hard time.”
"If I find out you treat her badly, I'll make you pay."
"This is the first time my family has come to visit, so you must treat her with utmost respect."
Jia Dongxu nodded repeatedly: "No problem, she is your sister, which means she is my sister. I am the only child in my family, and I have never enjoyed the affection of siblings. I will definitely treat her well."
Jia Zhangshi was a hundred times unwilling.
She and her son go out to work every day.
Qin Huairu was lazy and didn't do anything at home.
Now another burden has arrived.
Despite her young age, she is only a teenager and can't do as much work as a strong laborer, but she eats more than an adult!
"How long will she stay? We don't have room in our house."
"Let her sleep in the same bed as me."
"How can this be? Where will Dongxu sleep?"
