Chapter Three Overhearing the Conversation of the Mother-in-law
At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the police station compound near the clubhouse, Li Hao and Wang Wei were being persuaded and educated by a middle-aged police officer.
"Young people still need to keep their temper in check when they want to join society."
"Isn't there an old saying? A gentleman talks but never touches. Now is a civilized society where quality comes first. Hitting someone with your hands is always wrong!"
"I see you are not the kind of unreasonable person. This insult is nothing. A man can bend and stretch. Now he's fine. I lost three thousand yuan with one fist. Is it worth it? No!"
"Remember my words, never fight outside. If you win, you will go to jail and pay money. If you lose, you will be hospitalized and suffer..."
"And you, a young man, how did you become a driver? The boss was drunk and started a fire next to him, for fear that the fight would not break out? I have seen many young people like you who are just starting out. If you try to be smart, sooner or later you will be killed.
What a big loss..."
They were educated for a full hour, and it wasn't until four o'clock that the two of them were able to escape.
"What should we do, boss? How should we explain to Mr. Mei when we go back?" Wang Wei looked at Li Hao with tearful eyes, his eyes full of fear of the unknown.
This time the project was completely completed. Fan Jiajia got in the way before, and then he beat up Secretary Chen again.
Leaving aside the project, I'm pretty lucky if I didn't use local power to get myself detained for fifteen days.
Three thousand yuan per fist is really not a small price to pay.
Li Hao smiled bitterly and did not answer. He pointed in the direction of the city and said, "What else can we do? Just go back. Don't worry, I will take care of this matter. It has nothing to do with you."
When Wang Wei heard this, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, and he apologized with shame on his face: "Boss, it's all my fault. If I hadn't intervened, the conflict would not have been intensified, and you wouldn't have hit Secretary Chen.
Things wouldn't have ended up like this..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Hao comforted him and said: "It doesn't matter what happened to you, the responsibility is mine. The paralyzed person named Chen is not a thing. Just hit him. It's nothing special."
"Boss, you're tough, you're awesome!" Wang Wei complimented him, started the car and drove out of the city.
There were no cars on the expressway at four o'clock. Wang Wei was rushing back to Haining City. Naturally, he was not very good at his feet, and his speed quickly increased to 150 miles.
The more than 200 kilometers of highway journey was completed in just one and a half hours. After exiting the highway, there was still a section of more than ten kilometers of national highway.
At this moment, the time was approaching half past five. Li Hao took out his mobile phone and looked at it. He wanted to send a text message to his wife saying that he would go home for dinner in the evening.
After clicking on the screen, I saw a dozen missed calls, all from my wife Chen Shan.
The two had a quarrel before, and Li Hao was very upset afterwards. The other party was probably in a similar state, otherwise he wouldn't have called him so many times.
My heart warmed, and I quickly called back. There was a busy tone on the other end, and the phone was turned off.
If your career encounters obstacles, will your relationship also change?
Li Hao got off the car at the gate of the community, said goodbye to Wang Wei, bought a bouquet of flowers, and prepared to coax his wife.
After a series of bad things happened just now, he now values his family very much. Besides, he is likely to be severely punished by the company. This matter must be forgiven by the other party.
Unexpectedly, the house was empty when we went upstairs. It seemed that my wife was really angry.
Li Hao racked his brains and concluded that his wife had returned to her parents' home.
My father-in-law and his family live in the old city. The two elders are retired cadres of state-owned enterprises. The house was allocated by the company before retirement. The location is not bad. The only drawback is that the house is a bit old.
The mother-in-law has said more than once that she wants to change the elevator room. But nowadays, a house can easily cost one or two million. Who can afford to change the house easily?
The community is not far from Li Hao's home, and it takes about a quarter of an hour to take a taxi. After arriving, Li Mao didn't dare to come to the door empty-handed.
I bought gifts at the fruit shop at the entrance of the community. I chose a fruit basket mainly made of cherries and bought a box of tangerines.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered that my father-in-law loved to drink, so he went to the tobacco and alcohol store next door and bought two bottles of good wine.
Just as he was about to go out, a familiar voice suddenly came to his ears.
It was the mother-in-law who was talking to someone, and for some reason, Li Hao, by some strange mistake, did not come forward to say hello, but stood quietly in the tobacco and liquor store and eavesdropped on the other party's chat.
"Aunt Hu, have you eaten? Why don't you come over to buy fruit during dinner time?" the fruit shop proprietress greeted.
The mother-in-law smiled and agreed: "The girl is back. She is busy with bank work and finally went back to her parents' house. I will buy her some red dragon fruit for dessert."
"Oh, Aunt Hu, you really love your precious daughter."
"Of course. My girl is very promising and was promoted to director of the deposit department just last month."
"This is a great thing. I heard that your uncle is also the manager of a loan company. It's really a double happiness."
The mother-in-law's face immediately changed, and she curled her lips and muttered disdainfully: "What kind of loan manager? He's just a salesperson. Their small company is small and small, and they can't compare to a large enterprise like Jiangdong Commercial Bank."
"Aunt Hu, you are so envious of me. My whole family is a business executive. Unlike my daughter's uncle, who works hard from dawn to dusk and can't make a fortune."
"Alas..." The mother-in-law sighed, grabbed the fruit shop proprietress and complained: "Xiao Cui, I really don't want to show off in front of you."
"You don't know, my uncle is useless. He can't help with any big things. After I came out of the bank, I thought I could make a career in the world, but I didn't know that the more I wandered around, the more I would go back."
Li Hao felt quite bad when he heard this. His mother-in-law had been having problems with him for a day or two.
What is unexpected is that the opinions are so big. If you pick up a fruit shop proprietress on the street, you can make a fuss about it. What if you meet someone more familiar and you don't scold three generations of your ancestors?
He wanted to leave, but couldn't move because the conversation between the two people next door took a turn.
I heard Xiao Cui from the fruit shop comfort me: "Although I have never met your uncle, I heard that you are quite upright."
"This society is useless. I am becoming more and more disappointed with my uncle."
"Xiao Cui, let me tell you, my daughter said she wanted to have a child with him, but I rejected the proposal as soon as she made it out. They say men stand up in their thirties, but that guy is already thirty-one this year, and he's still a little bigger.
If you work hard in a small company, how will you support your child when he is born?"
"Are they going to make us two elders work from dawn to dusk to help them take care of their children?"
"I heard you say, doesn't he have a mother? Or a teacher, can't he let her take care of the children?"
"I won't say this anymore. Ever since my in-laws died in the line of duty, the old lady has been confused. She doesn't know if there is something wrong with her brain. She keeps silent all day long. How can my grandson be raised by such a lunatic?"
"That's right. Alas...every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite." The fruit shop proprietress sighed.
However, the mother-in-law snorted coldly and muttered: "Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, the situation has changed, and my girl is now promising."
"I'm just looking forward to them getting divorced so that they can make room for a better man..."
Teaching his daughter to divorce? Li Hao never expected that his mother-in-law would be so vicious.
He could no longer listen to the conversation that followed, and left the tobacco and liquor store in despair.
Back then, he was the son of a cadre. When the two got married, the Chen family was very enthusiastic and almost hated their family.
Especially Hu Juan, the mother-in-law, almost regarded him as her own son.
In just a few years, all the hypocrisy has emerged, which is extremely disappointing.
Li Hao was walking on the street in a depressed mood, not knowing whether he should go up or how to face Hu Juan, his complicated mother-in-law.
Just as I was thinking about it, a black Passat slowly drove into the gate of the community from outside the street. The license plate was JiangB00UA8.
