Chapter 594 Being Cheated
No matter how much Wei Taoer hated that family, he couldn't remain indifferent when he heard the news that his mother was seriously ill.
He asked for leave from Manager Liu and hurried back home.
As a result, as soon as she entered the door, she was hit on the back of the head by Wei's father. Wei Taoer's eyes went dark, her legs went weak, and she fell straight to the ground.
Before he could recover from the shock, Wei's father pounced on him viciously and searched his body, muttering, "You little bastard, I heard you made a lot of money in the workshop, give it all to me today!"
But after searching Wei Taoer's body thoroughly, nothing was found except a few scattered copper coins.
Wei's father was so angry that he kicked Wei Taoer several times and cursed, "You miser, where are you hiding? If you don't tell me, I will beat you to death today!"
"How dare you run away from home? I gave you your life, and the money you earn should belong to me too!"
Wei's father cursed and kicked Wei Taoer hard. Wei Taoer groaned in pain, his vision went dark and his consciousness became increasingly blurred.
At this time, his mother rushed out of the house, crying and shouting, "Master, please stop beating me. If you continue, someone will die!"
Wei Taoer opened his blurry eyes and looked at his mother. Although her face looked haggard, her movements were nimble and she didn't look seriously ill at all.
In an instant, disappointment, anger and resentment surged in his heart. He could never have imagined that his mother would collude with his father to plot against him.
When Wei's father saw that Wei Taoer really couldn't come up with the money, he grabbed him by the collar, dragged him into the woodshed, and locked the door with a clang.
"Just reflect on yourself here. When you hand over the money, we'll let you go!" After saying this, Wei's father staggered away.
Wei Taoer endured the severe pain from her head and struggled to get up from the ground.
Through the narrow window of the woodshed, Wei Taoer saw his father's back as he left, and the figure of his eldest brother flashing past behind the fence.
Wei Taoer frowned, he knew his elder brother's appearance too well. He was afraid that his father had tricked him back this time, and his elder brother also knew the inside story and might even be involved.
He banged on the door and shouted, "Let me out!"
"Mom, please let me out. I have to go back to work. I can't lose my job in the workshop."
His mother paused outside the woodshed, hesitated for a moment, and said weakly: "San'er, just listen to your father and hand over the money."
"Your father is doing this for your own good. He wants to save it for you so that he can help you find a wife and build a house for you in the future."
When Wei Taoer heard this, she found it extremely absurd.
First, he knew his father's temper and character clearly, and the so-called saving money for him to marry a wife and build a house was just a cover.
Secondly, he didn't expect that his mother was so confused and believed his father's lies and helped to deceive him.
Then his mother went back to work and ignored Wei Taoer's calls.
I don't know how long it took, but I heard Xiao Si's timid voice coming from outside the door: "Third brother, are you okay?"
When Wei Taoer heard Xiao Si's voice, his eyes instantly turned red. He hurriedly approached the wooden door and said softly, "Xiao Si, Third Brother is fine. Why are you here? Did Dad find out?"
Xiao Si replied in a tearful voice: "Third brother, I came here secretly. Dad and eldest brother and his wife were discussing something in the house. I heard them say that they would keep you locked up and wait for you to hand over the money. Third brother, I'm so scared..."
Wei Taoer felt distressed and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Si, Brother San will be fine."
Wei Taoer originally wanted Xiao Si to go to Gao's house to ask Gao Ruowang for help, but it was getting dark and the road outside was difficult to walk on. Xiao Si was still a child, and it would be bad if he met a beggar.
"Xiao Si, Third Brother will think of a solution. You go back first and don't let Dad find out that you came to see me." Wei Taoer tried his best to make his voice sound calm.
Xiao Si sniffed: "Third brother, then you must be careful, I'm leaving."
"Wait a minute, Third Brother!" Suddenly Xiao Si turned around and handed in a dirty steamed bun through the crack in the door.
"Third brother, eat something first, don't be hungry."
"Third brother is not hungry, you can keep it for yourself." Wei Taoer refused.
Xiao Si refused and stuffed the steamed bun into Wei Taoer's hand: "Third brother, just take it. I secretly hid several of them."
Wei Taoer took the steamed bun reluctantly: "Xiao Si, thank you, Third Brother."
Xiao Si nodded with relief: "Third brother, I'm leaving now."
After Xiao Si left, Wei Taoer held the steamed bun in her hand, her thoughts in a mess.
He slowly sat down against the wall of the woodshed, wondering what to do next.
In this dark and damp woodshed, Wei Taoer swallowed the steamed bun with difficulty with a little cold water.
After an unknown amount of time, he fell into a drowsy sleep.
The next day, when it was time to go to work, Wei Taoer was nowhere to be seen. Gao Ruowang felt something was wrong.
In the past, Wei Taoer always arrived at the workshop early and was never late. This time, she went home to visit her relatives and said she would be back soon, but now there is no news from her.
Could it be that Wei's mother's condition is serious and Wei Taoer is unable to get away for the time being?
But Gao Ruowang felt that something was fishy. Even if Wei Taoer had to take care of her mother, she would find a way to send a message. It was impossible for her to be absent from work without even saying a word.
So he immediately explained the situation to Manager Liu.
Manager Liu also felt that something was amiss, so he asked Guard Feng to go to the Wei family with Gao Ruowang.
After all, he is a workshop worker, and the boss seems to think highly of Wei Taoer, so Manager Liu will naturally not sit idly by.
Gao Ruowang and Guard Feng soon arrived at the Wei family.
Guard Feng stepped forward and knocked on the door vigorously, shouting, "Open the door! Open the door quickly!"
After a long while, Brother Wei finally opened the door, cursing: "Who is it? You're knocking so loudly, you're looking for death!"
But when he saw Guard Feng's tall figure and stern face, with Gao Ruowang following behind him, he immediately lost some of his arrogance and muttered, "What are you doing here again?"
Gao Ruowang clenched his fists under his sleeves. He looked calm, but his tone was very stern: "Wei Taoer didn't come to work today for no reason. Our manager was very angry and ordered me to find him."
"Excuse me, where is Wei Taoer? If you don't tell me, we will look for him ourselves!" Gao Ruowang stared at Brother Wei sharply.
Brother Wei's eyes flickered: "I don't know, he didn't come back!"
"Stop talking nonsense and let's go in and find someone ourselves." As he said that, Guard Feng was about to rush into the house.
Brother Wei quickly stopped them: "You can't barge in!"
Gao Ruowang pressed Brother Wei's shoulder with such force that Brother Wei could not move. He said politely with a smile on his face: "We are just going in to find someone. There is no need to entertain them specially."
Who wants to entertain you? Brother Wei cursed in his heart. Seeing that Guard Feng had already broken into the yard, Brother Wei stamped his feet anxiously, but there was nothing he could do.
When Wei Taoer woke up, he vaguely heard Gao Ruowang's voice. He instantly became alert, struggled to stand up, approached the window, and saw Gao Ruowang's figure.
He excitedly banged on the window and shouted, "Gao Ruowang, I'm here!"
