Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder
Chapter 164: The Nanny in Troubled Times 30
The letter that Ye Liushi thought was unimportant brought a lot of trouble to her family and Ye Zhiqiu.
Zhang Da received the letter. Although he could not read a single word, he asked someone to read it secretly. After hearing the content of the letter, he took Dabao to Ye's house to ask for Ye Zhiqiu's address.
Zhang's wife grabbed him and said, "Why are you so anxious? If you run over and ask like this, who will tell you?"
"What should I do?" Zhang Da had never thought that if Ye Liushi didn't tell him, he would stay at the Ye family and eat and drink at the Ye family every day. He had a good idea, but he didn't think that one person could not beat the brothers of the Ye family.
Zhang Da's wife despised Zhang Da for being useless and taught him to coax the Ye family's children with food or toys, as children were ignorant and more easily tricked.
Zhang Da thought it made sense, but there was nothing delicious or fun to do at home. In the end, Zhang Da's wife gritted her teeth and spent money to buy a handful of candy for him to use to coax the child.
You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child, so she spent a lot of money to stay away from her parents-in-law.
Using candy to coax children is always effective, and the children of the Ye family are no exception. Even though the Ye family had Ye Zhiqiu's subsidy and asked Ye Liushi to bring back some food and toys, no one was willing to give them all to the children.
In the eyes of adults, these are all good things to bring when visiting relatives, which may come in handy someday. Children only need to taste them, and the rest have to be locked in the cabinet.
When Zhang Da, their former uncle, came to them with a handful of candy, the children only had eyes for the candy, and answered whatever Zhang Da asked. Unfortunately, they didn't know much, but it was enough. They knew that Ye Zhiqiu was still alive, and even knew that the factory where he worked was called the steel factory. They were still worried that they would not be able to find him.
Zhang Da had never thought about how many steel mills there were in Haicheng. He went home, took Dabao and the money and left. When he got on the bus and bought a ticket, he realized that Haicheng was too big. He didn't even know the directions, so he couldn't even buy a ticket.
Fortunately, the ticket seller was a kind-hearted person. Knowing that he was going to the steel mill to visit his relatives, but not knowing the name of the steel mill, he suggested that he start from the largest one. With luck, he might find the right one at the first one.
Sometimes God favors bad guys and is not good enough to good guys. Under the guidance of the conductor, Zhang Da got off the bus and went straight to the steel plant where Ye Zhiqiu worked.
When she received the notification from the security guard that someone was looking for her, she thought it was two children coming to her house. She thought something had happened and was so scared that she ran out to greet them.
Halfway through her run, the system popped up and told her that it was not the child who was in trouble, but Zhang Da who came with his son.
Ye Zhiqiu stopped and thought about life for a full minute. She had already hidden in Haicheng, and she also knew that Zhang Da had married someone else, so why did he still come to her? He would not ask her for compensation for the loss of her youth, right?
The system shook its head. There is no such thing as youth loss compensation at the moment. It just wants you to find a job. "By the way, do you want to take this opportunity to bring Dabao over? This child might still be saved."
"How to say?"
The system doesn't understand why Zhang Wangshi changed her mind. She liked Dabao very much in the past, but she waited and waited but couldn't get Ye Zhiqiu's money. Although she still liked her grandson, she was not as good to Dabao as before.
After Zhang Er and his wife had several children, all of whom were grandchildren, Dabao became even less valuable at home, otherwise he would not even be able to afford to go to school.
My family is poor and there are many boys. If we want to have enough food, we have to work. What's the point of going to school? We will still have to farm in the end. Why waste the money?
Ye Zhiqiu knew why Zhang Wangshi treated Dabao badly. The fact that having too many grandchildren was worthless was just one reason. The most important thing was that no one gave her money, so she had no conditions to treat Dabao well even if she wanted to.
When people are poor, everything is sad, not only between husband and wife, but also between blood relatives. Without money, the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is also weak. With money, it is good for you, me and everyone.
"Then do you want to bring Dabao back?" The system was more curious about this.
Ye Zhiqiu did not answer, but the first thing he did when he arrived at the factory gate was to stare at Dabao. At first glance, he looked very honest and well-behaved. It was not known whether it was his nature or if he was so well-behaved because he had changed to a strange environment.
Zhang Da didn't recognize Ye Zhiqiu. He stared at her in disbelief until she opened her mouth. Gradually, he saw a familiar look on her face.
Zhang Da deliberately took a step back before asking, "Are you Ye Zhiqiu?" He was afraid that if he wasn't Ye Zhiqiu, he would be bullied by the people in the city, so he stayed away from him and ran away.
"What's the matter with you coming to my house?"
Zhang Da originally wanted a job, but suddenly found that he couldn't say it out loud. The difference between city people and country people was too great. Even if he was allowed to work in the factory, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to do it.
He had inquired in the car, and learned that at work in the factory, not only could one be busy with work and not be late or leave early, but there were also tasks, and if one failed to complete the tasks one had to work overtime, and there was also all kinds of training. He couldn't even read, so how could he learn?
Forget it, I don't want to work anymore, I want money instead. He has raised Dabao for so many years, it's not too much for a mother to give some money.
Ye Zhiqiu sneered. If you dare to ask her for money, you don't want to live. You don't have money, but you have your life. You dare to ask her for money even though you are getting married. You really think she is a sucker.
Zhang Dadu arrived in Haicheng, but he was unwilling to send him away. The round trip fare was not cheap, and he could not do something that would lose money. He pushed Dabao forward and asked him to call his mother and beg Ye Zhiqiu for money.
Dabao didn't dare to scream. When he was pushed out, he stretched out his arms and hid behind his back. The more he was pushed, the further he hid.
Seeing how timid and fearful Zhang Da was, he was so angry that he wanted to hit him. He even stretched out his hand, but was stopped by Ye Zhiqiu.
"What are you doing? I beat my son, why do you care?"
Ye Zhiqiu really despised men who only knew how to beat women and children. He pinched his wrist hard, and only spoke when he could not move: "You want money, sell him to me, how much?"
Zhang Da was stunned. He wanted money but never thought of selling his son. But thinking about it, it seemed that it was not impossible. He had more than one son. His second wife also gave birth to a son. Before she came out, she said that she might be pregnant with another. Having more sons was not worth much. Just look at the second son's family.
When his son grows up, he needs money to marry a wife. Selling Dabao now will not only bring him money, but also save him money in the future. It is not impossible. He silently calculated how much money he had spent on raising Dabao in the past few years, and then doubled it and reported it to Ye Zhiqiu.
Ye Zhiqiu raised his eyebrows. Those who sell children don't dare to ask for two hundred. The most they give is twenty. It's up to you to take it or not.
Zhang Damei disagreed. What's the use of twenty? He would spend it all soon after he got home. Unfortunately, he asked for more, but Ye Zhiqiu refused to cooperate and would not raise the price by even a cent. She didn't have to have the child, she could sell it if she wanted.
Zhang Da did some calculations and realized that if he didn't sell the house, he would have to spend money to raise Dabao, which was a loss anyway, so he might as well take the money and leave. The key point was that he could hide the money and tell others that Dabao was lost in the city.
"Fifty dollars, fixed price."
Ye Zhiqiu wanted to continue bargaining, but Dabao started crying. He begged Zhang Da not to sell him, saying that he would be obedient, work honestly and eat less in the future.
