Chapter 306: Eating Coworkers’ Melon
Lu Qiaoge also nodded in agreement, it seemed Shao Le had learned it well.
Then Sister Hua blinked her eyes and looked around, how come this way of speaking felt so much like one person?
The people in the general office, especially Sister Qiao who was familiar with Lu Qiaoge’s work style, gave Lu Qiaoge several extra glances.
That’s right, this way of speaking was learned from Lu Qiaoge.
Old Teng continued: “Shao Le spoke like this, Zhao Lao Laizi flew into a rage out of humiliation, but before he could curse, Shao Le started accusing and resenting him inside and outside the house…”
“Look at you, the entire village, only Old Zhao Family is the poorest, how did you live your life like this, still living in a thatched hut, what have you been doing all these years? Just eating without working? No wonder, you worked my mom to death. Aren’t you afraid she’ll come find you in the middle of the night to demand your life?”
“Zhao Lao Laizi not only got nothing, but was instead scolded by this son he had just recognized.”
Old Teng said this with laughter in his eyes.
“Then Shao Le said to Zhao Lao Laizi: This is my first time visiting home, and you won’t even give me a bite of food, what kind of father are you? Let me tell you, I’m getting married soon, the young woman didn’t ask for much, but luggage, bedding, a set of good clothes, we should buy those, right? I won’t ask for much, just prepare a bicycle too.”
“Zhao Lao Laizi finally found a chance to speak this time, he jumped up in thunderous rage and cursed: You bastard, I have no money now, and I still owe debts outside, can’t even afford food, where am I supposed to get a bicycle for you?”
“Shao Le said: Can’t you do it? You’re so famous in the ten miles around, keep borrowing money, if that doesn’t work, learn from your second son and go steal and rob.
Anyway, you’re the father, it’s only right for you to provide for your son’s marriage, go ask around under heaven, which father doesn’t take care of his son’s marriage?”
“This isn’t recognizing a son, it’s simply recognizing a living ancestor.” Sister Qiao said with a chuckle.
“For someone like Zhao Lao Laizi, this is exactly how it should be, talking reason with him politely is useless, all his ideas are already formed, you can’t educate him to be a good father, so cursing him is right…”
Cadre Liu frowned and said: “Even so, you can’t make Zhao Lao Laizi go steal and rob!”
Everyone looked at Cadre Liu, oh, he’s from the public security management office, Shao Le before night school had followed him for a while.
Sister Hua said confidently: “Don’t worry, someone like Zhao Lao Laizi is the most afraid of dying, he won’t do that kind of thing.”
The type who doesn’t commit big wrongs but keeps making small ones, you have no way to deal with me, simply sly to a certain extent.
But even he has no way against someone like Shao Le throwing a tantrum and rolling on the ground demanding his father provide for the marriage.
Everyone excitedly asked: “What happened later? What happened later?”
Sure enough, no one doesn’t like gossip.
Even gossip about the dearest colleague, they still eat it up.
Old Teng pushed his glasses: “I only learned about this yesterday, Shao Le should come to work tomorrow, you can ask him for the details.”
“Then how do you know so clearly?”
“Shao Le didn’t go back alone, he went with his good friend Little Fatty, this matter was told to me by Little Fatty.”
Oh, so that’s how it is.
At this time Old Hu came back from the meeting, saw a big group of people gathered together, his face darkened, and he sternly scolded in a serious voice: “Gathering to chat during work time, what do you think you’re doing?”
Sister Hua quickly said: “We weren’t gathering to chat, we just wanted to ask Old Teng for some data.”
Sister Qiao said: “Me too, I just came to check some numbers.”
“And you, Cadre Liu?”
Cadre Liu’s face turned red, not knowing what to say.
Old Hu actually didn’t say he was definitely going to punish anyone, he just asked, give me an answer.
But Cadre Liu was so straightforward, he actually didn’t know how to respond.
Lu Qiaoge said from the side: “Cadre Liu was just doing legal popularization propaganda for us.”
Old Teng also nodded: “Yes, yes, yes, that’s right, it’s legal popularization propaganda.”
Everyone in their hearts couldn’t hold back the laughter.
But with the leader here, they had to hold it in.
Director Hu glared at Lu Qiaoge, then pointed his finger at these people, but in the end said nothing and turned to leave.
But before leaving he called Lu Qiaoge and Sister Qiao and Cadre Liu: “You three go to Wei Xia’s home, neighbors reported to me that her mental state isn’t good now, she often beats and scolds the four children, hasn’t gone to work for a week already, investigate what the situation is? Don’t let anything else happen.”
Lu Qiaoge and Sister Qiao exchanged a glance.
Was it that Wei Xia who was tricked by Jiang Chusheng into divorcing?
She remembered Jiang Chusheng was a worker at the subordinate steel mill, Wei Xia was a worker at Wangjiang District shoe factory.
So long without hearing their news, she thought they were each doing well.
Lu Qiaoge said to Director Hu: “Then I need to go to the archive room to get something.”
Old Hu asked: “What do you need to get?”
“It’s the divorce agreement that Wei Xia signed last time, it has our neighborhood committee’s seal, this is effective both at the work unit and legally.”
The archive room was in the office at the very end.
After taking it out, Lu Qiaoge put it in her shoulder bag, then the three rode bicycles to Wei Xia’s home.
Wei Xia’s home was some distance from the neighborhood committee, but after ten-plus minutes by bicycle, they arrived.
This area was private real estate, not many, total just over a hundred households.
Wei Xia’s home was on the west side, a brick house, with a fence wall around it.
Seeing the three from the neighborhood committee come, neighbor Aunt Han quickly pulled the three aside.
She lowered her voice and said: “Wei Xia lately I don’t know what’s wrong, either crying or laughing, or else beating the children, the children cry miserably from the beatings, your neighborhood committee has to manage this, otherwise if something really happens it won’t be easy to handle.”
Aunt Han was a warm-hearted person, she directly pushed open the courtyard door and led the three inside.
The main room looked quite neat, about forty-plus square meters.
At this time three children were squatting at the base of the wall.
Two girls and a little boy.
The oldest holding the smallest, staring with big eyes, somewhat terrified looking at the people entering the courtyard.
Aunt Han muttered softly there: “You say how shameless Jiang Chusheng is, to trick Wei Xia into divorcing, he said all kinds of lies, Wei Xia is also a useless thing, just fierce at home, if you have the skill to beat children, why not go demand money from that bastard man.”
Aunt Han was obviously very angry, but when she walked up she also shut her mouth.
She asked the oldest girl: “Where’s your mom?”
Then seeing the injuries on the child’s hands, she frowned and asked again: “Your mom beat you again.”
The three children terrifiedly widened their eyes and shook their heads together.
Aunt Han sighed, stood up and shouted: “Wei Xia, are you home? Neighborhood committee cadres are here, whatever issues you have you can tell them.”
After a moment of silence, there was movement from inside the house, then a woman slowly walked out from the room, her expression sinister and face gaunt, standing there as if swaying.
Lu Qiaoge frowned, Sister Qiao too, this was too different from the Wei Xia they saw a month ago.
What had happened, how did it become like this?
Treasures, happy weekend~
