The cannon fodder female supporting role stirs up trouble in period literature
Chapter 23: Got it? Whose?
There were 22 chicks in total, and 5 of them had not yet hatched. Hua Jindong bought her a broken basket to put the chicks in, and gave her one dollar in total. The old lady was so happy that her eyebrows were not big. This broken basket was not worth much money, and it was going to be thrown away. It was a pleasant surprise to be able to exchange it for a few cents.
I pulled Hua Jindong and kept asking her where she lived, so that next time I had chicks I would send them to her home.
How could Hua Jindong dare to let her deliver it? If someone caught her these days, it would be considered speculation and profiteering. If it was a minor offense, they would be sent to labor camps, and if it was a serious offense, they would even lose their lives.
He finally broke free from the old lady's hand and turned into an alley. He didn't send all the chicks into the space until he saw the old lady walking away with her grandson.
When I returned to the department store, Zhao Xiaomei was already looking around in front of the door, holding a blue woolen skirt in her hand. The salesperson had quoted a price of over a hundred yuan for it. Several months' salary was spent in one go. This girl was really willing to spend so much on herself.
Hua Rendong called her, and Zhao Xiaomei was relieved to see that she was fine. "Where did you go? I couldn't find you. I thought something happened to you."
Hua Honeysuckle just said that she had to pee urgently, so she went to the toilet behind the department store.
On the way back to the factory, the two passed by a post office. Hua Rendong's eyes lit up. She asked Zhao Xiaomei to stop the car on the side of the road. She went into the post office and bought one package of each stamp available. She even bought several more packages of stamps that she had some impression of. In total, she spent fifteen yuan and seventy-eight cents.
She didn’t know much about stamps in her previous life, but she could ask Xu Xixi about them. If one of them was valuable, she would make a fortune.
Zhao Xiaomei couldn't help but smack her lips when she saw her buy so many stamps at once. "These things are not for food or clothing, why did you buy so many? You just got your salary, you can't be extravagant."
Hua Rendong, who had just seen Zhao Xiaomei spending several months' salary to buy a skirt, smiled awkwardly, and didn't know who of the two of them was more extravagant.
When I got off work in the evening, I just walked out of the workshop and saw Hua Jianshe waiting outside the workshop. He looked worried and obviously had encountered some troubles. Hua Rendong guessed that it was about the parts of the textile factory.
This might be something that even Hua Jianshe, an eighth-level worker, finds difficult, so a first-level worker who has just joined the factory should not embarrass herself by doing so.
When we returned to the family compound, there was a circle of people sitting at the door. Aunt Niu saw Hua Rendong coming back and came over with her bowl of rice, "Erhua, have you heard? Guo Aihua fell and was sent to the hospital yesterday, and it turned out that she was pregnant. Today, everyone in our family compound is in an uproar. Guess who the father of the child is?"
Hua Honeysuckle asked subconsciously: "Who is it?"
After asking, I regretted asking such a stupid question. Who else could it belong to except Li Dongfeng? But as the male protagonist of the novel, is Li Dongfeng so shameless? He had a baby with another woman before the female protagonist, and when the female protagonist finds out, will she still want this rotten cucumber of his?
As expected, Aunt Niu smiled obscenely, "Who else could it be? Li Dongfeng, your ex-fiance! Aunt Niu is not saying bad things, but you are calling off the marriage too early. Wait a few days, and when this scandal is exposed, if you don't ask his family to call off the engagement, they will ask you. If his family doesn't give you 500 yuan, you won't call off the marriage! If they dare not pay, you can go to the Revolutionary Committee and sue Xu Xiangfeng for her son's behavior. It's up to her to give you whatever you want."
After Hua Jianshe locked his bicycle, he came over and heard Aunt Niu saying this. He stood in front of Hua Rendong with an unpleasant look on his face, "What are you talking about? My Erhua is still a little girl, aren't you afraid that your words will pollute her ears? Besides, we would feel uncomfortable if we took that kind of money! Let's go home and don't listen to this old woman's nonsense."
Seeing the father and son enter the house, Aunt Niu made a "Puh" sound behind them and then talked about Li Dongfeng and Guo Aihua with a group of old neighbors.
In the room, Zhou Laiying sat on the kang with a sullen look on his face, staring at the pot of pork belly stewed with sauerkraut on the table in front of him, as if he was staring at a class enemy. The younger ones beside him didn't dare to make a sound.
Seeing the father and son come in, Hua Dahua winked at Hua Rendong, and Zhou Laiying slammed the table, which scared Hua Dahua.
Zhou Laiying angrily cursed: "What the hell is that bastard Li Dongfeng doing? Who is he trying to annoy? On one hand, he is talking about marriage with our Erhua, and on the other hand, he is sleeping in the same bed with Guo Aihua. Is it because Xu Xiangfeng was trying to ruin our Erhua's reputation everywhere before, just to force our family to cancel the engagement first? No, tomorrow I will go to the Revolutionary Committee to report that Li Dongfeng has problems with his work style. His mother instigated and condoned him. Both mother and daughter will have no chance of survival!"
Hua Jianshe had a gloomy face all the way back, and this time he was even gloomier. "My relatives have already resigned, what will happen if I continue to make trouble? I heard about this when I came back this afternoon, and I went to find the factory leaders, but Guo has a backer, and the factory leaders advised me to keep quiet. Nothing good will come of making trouble for our family."
Hua Rendeng then understood that the reason Hua Jianshe had a bad look on his face before was not because of the parts problem at the textile factory, but because of these bad things.
He sighed, "Uncle, aunt, don't be angry. Even if I take a step back, it's better for Li Dongfeng and I to call it off than to find out that he has a bad character after we actually get married, right? This time I'll take it as a lesson. I'll be more careful when looking at people in the future. I can't trust a man's sweet talk. I can't trust people who cheat me, and I can't cheat my money!"
At this point, he changed the subject and said, "But after all, it was Li Dongfeng who did the ugly thing. I will go and get back the money they owe me later. If they dare not pay it back, you don't need your uncle or aunt to go. I will go to the Revolutionary Committee and sue him tomorrow."
Zhou Laiying was still a little unwilling, but seeing Hua Jianshe's ugly face, she suppressed her unwillingness and said, "Auntie will go with you later. If they don't pay back the money, I will scold them and make them regret coming to this world!"
The meal was eaten in silence. Even Hua Dahua, who wanted to share the movie she had watched with her sisters, didn't dare to open her mouth to ask for scolding.
After dinner, Hua Xiaohua went to wash the dishes, while Zhou Laiying took Hua Dahua and Hua Rendong to Xu Xiangfeng's house. Hua Jianshe wanted to follow, but Zhou Laiying pushed him back, "He has an orphan and a widow, what can you do if you follow him? If she can't argue with you, she will jump on you, and you will be covered in mud, and you will be shit anyway."
Hua Jianshe was so scared that he didn't dare to follow and just stood at the door to cheer.
Zhou Laiying brought her daughter and came to the door of Xu Xiangfeng's house in a threatening manner. She raised her hand and knocked hard on the door. Unexpectedly, the door was opened by Xu Xiangfeng after just two knocks.
Before Zhou Laiying could open her mouth to curse, Xu Xiangfeng smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, isn't this a coincidence? I was just thinking about going over to look for you, but you came here first. Don't you think we have a telepathic connection?"
"Bah! Who is in tune with you? Stop being so disgusting!" Zhou Laiying said with a sneer, "Do you feel guilty for saying this? You are the only one who can come to me? To get scolded? Or to get beaten?"
