Chapter 1193 Control group in the 1990s (2)
Xu Yin went out after saying that. She went to get a haircut.
She can't stand this eye-catching and eye-catching killer look for a moment!
After her daughter left, Ma Chunfang recovered from her trance and fell back in anger:
"Old Xu, look at her, how does she look like a girl? People who don't know her think she is a gangster! She actually said that she will run the house from now on? Does she think the house is easy to manage? She holds the money and does nothing. What? I don’t think she sincerely wants to be the boss, she clearly wants the 20,000 yuan!"
Xu Wuyi lowered his head and fiddled with the quartz clock on the table without making a sound.
He has always been soft-spoken. All the money saved by his family over the years has been used by his wife to help her parents' family and pay off her brother-in-law's gambling debts. How could he not mind?
But every time he mentioned money, his wife would wipe her tears and cry, saying that her father passed away early and it was all thanks to her mother to raise their five brothers and sisters, and she has been helping to take care of their children all these years. It was really not easy; she also said that she was just a younger brother, and gambling was really wrong. Every time he came to borrow money, she took the opportunity to persuade him again and again, but what could she do if he couldn't quit? We can't chop off his hands. Seeing that he was being chased by his creditors and hiding everywhere, she, as the eldest sister, couldn't bear it, so she used the family's money to help him. If they are forced to death by debt collectors, Lao Ma's family will be in ruins.
When his wife cries, Xu Wuyi loses his temper.
Think about it, the couple are both old workers in an iron ore factory with an iron rice bowl. They don’t have many places to spend money. So let’s lend some money to my brother-in-law to pay off the debt. The family and everything will be prosperous. I hope my brother-in-law can change his ways.
However, I borrowed it again and again, but never saw my brother-in-law return it.
It’s just that his wife has always been in charge of the family’s money. Although he knows that she often helps her parents’ family, no matter how much she helps, the family’s savings will still be enough, right? After working for sixteen or seventeen years, I didn't have ten thousand or twenty thousand, but I think I had three to five thousand.
So when Lao Zhou told him not to ask for the 20,000 yuan in compensation and to lend another 30,000 yuan to the factory to tide over the difficulties so that he could keep his job and maybe be promoted to the backbone of the factory in the future, he was really tempted, even I'm already thinking about where to borrow the missing twenty-five-six thousand. He sincerely thought that his family could always afford three to five thousand.
Now it seems that, let alone three to five thousand, my family may not even be able to afford three to five hundred.
This silenced the honest man who had always been very obedient to his wife, who refused to do anything when her daughter-in-law said something, and who laughed at her jokes.
Since the money is in the hands of the daughter-in-law, she is also helping her mother-in-law's family. It is said to be a front for her brother-in-law to do business, but maybe it is also filling his bottomless pit of gambling debts, so it is better to let the daughter-in-law take care of the accounts.
No matter how bad it is, the result is nothing more than being lavishly spent by the daughter, with no return. It is also spent on the daughter, which is better than paying off the gambling debts to the brother-in-law.
Xu's father had a plan in his mind and interrupted his daughter-in-law's endless scolding: "In my opinion, my daughter is getting older, and we should be happy that she is willing to help the family manage the accounts. It means that she has begun to think about the family."
"but…"
"Daughter-in-law, think about it, you lent the money to our brother, what will happen to our family's life next? Things are different now, we are laid off! We don't have a fixed salary to receive every month. It's like what my daughter said about drinking from the northwest. Is it? You have the money in your hand. Our brother comes to ask you to borrow it. Should you give it to me or not? If you give it to us, we don’t have money to eat and drink. I’d be embarrassed if I don’t give it to you, right? So I’ll just leave it to my daughter and look back. When my mother and brother asked about it, you said you were used by your daughter to start a small business."
…”
Before his wife could retort, Xu's father struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Did you listen to what my daughter just said? Does our brother really want to go gambling in Macau with the money we got from being laid off? This is really a bit too much. !”
"...This, this can't be true. Yin Yin is also just guessing, right? She has been at home during this period and has never been to Mushu Town. Where can she get this news?"
Ma Chunfang wanted to defend her brother, but she really had no confidence.
She likes to help her parents' family, but she is not a fool. When she calms down, she starts to doubt: her brother told her that he wants to set up a shop in the town and do some small business, but he is short of 20,000 yuan. Is it really just a pretense?
She and Lao Xu’s laid-off compensation totaled 20,000 yuan, and her brother was short of 20,000 yuan when he opened a shop. Is it such a coincidence?
Could it be that Bingzi was really lying to her?
"No, I'm going to ask the soldier. I don't believe he even lied to me."
Thinking that her brother might be lying to her, Ma Chunfang couldn't sit still. She took off her apron, went back to the back room to pick up the white washed canvas bag, and hurried to the bus station to take the urban and rural bus back to her parents' home.
Over there, Xu Yin came out of her home and found the barber shop at the entrance of the factory. There were quite a few people coming to get haircuts at this small barber shop with a single room. Xu Yin didn't want to run back and forth, so she simply sat in the corner and waited in line.
She crossed her arms and leaned against a corner of an old couch, closing her eyes and concentrating. She sorted out the plot that she had received but had not yet had time to fully digest.
After the end of the last small world, she once again faced the task lottery of choosing one of the two.
This time the lottery winner is "Chronological Farming" - a period novel with the background of the layoff wave and housing reform in the mid-1990s.
The heroine’s name is Zhou Jiao, and she is her next-door neighbor from Tongzilou. Before she was laid off, the conditions of the two families were almost the same—
Her parents are ordinary dual-workers in an iron ore factory. Zhou Jiao is the same age as her original self. She graduated from junior high school this year. She has a seven-year-old younger brother.
When he was laid off, Zhou Jiao’s father, Zhou Quancai, took the initiative to express his loyalty to the factory leader: He did not want the 20,000 yuan in compensation, but was willing to lend the factory another 30,000 yuan as long as the couple could continue to work in the factory. If the factory agrees, he will help the factory retain a few employees who are willing to pay to keep their jobs. The factory leaders were very moved and agreed to sign a job security agreement with him.
Under Zhou's father's lobbying, many employees gradually joined the team who paid to keep their iron rice bowl. But the good times did not last long. After five years, the iron ore plant finally had to be closed due to the hollowing out of the iron ore in the area.
Because Zhou’s father signed a job security agreement with the factory at that time, which was equivalent to investing 50,000 yuan in shares, he finally received a severance package of 200,000 yuan.
The Zhou family became rich. When they renovated their house, they bought the room with the best view in the Tongzi Building. They also built a shop in the downtown area, and the couple went to sea to start a business. At the turn of the millennium, the Tongzilou area was demolished, and the Zhou family had three relocation houses for a single room, one for themselves and two for rent. The rent alone was enough to feed and clothe the family.
Although Zhou Jiao, like her original self, did not study further after graduating from junior high school, she has the aura of a protagonist. During the summer vacation of her graduation year, she saved a man, who was the director of a machinery factory and gave her a job at the machinery factory. A position was arranged.
Zhou Jiao became a factory beauty as soon as she entered the factory, and was pursued by many male employees. The factory director's son also took a liking to her because of her, but she fell in love with the most talented but taciturn male protagonist in the design room, and she was impressed by her love. Opened his heart.
It was only after we got together that we found out that the male protagonist was the son of a certain Hong Kong tycoon and Bai Yueguang before they got married. He had lived with his mother in the mainland since he was a child. His mother passed away a few years ago. He had lost his direction and his life was chaotic. Until he was awakened by the heroine's love, he stood up as if he was cheating. The products he designed won many international awards and he was hired by famous companies with high salaries.
At the same time, his biological father left him a very considerable inheritance, but he chose to stay in the mainland and bought a condominium apartment in a newly opened building near the heroine's home. The hero and heroine lived happily together ever after.
Zhou Jiao’s younger brother has been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child. He has achieved excellent results in school. He is a top student with both IQ and good looks. He is very generous in getting scholarships.
Father and mother Zhou beamed every time they mentioned their children.
Looking back at the original family—
Xu's father is a rake, and Xu's mother is a brother-in-law. They have both worked for more than ten years. Not only does the family have no savings, but the 20,000 yuan that the factory compensated the two workers when they were laid off was used as a pretext by the younger brother of the mother's family who has high gambling debts. He borrowed the money for business reasons, but actually he was encouraged to go to Macau to gamble in order to recoup the money. As a result, he lost all his money and came back and jumped into the sea.
Grandma Xu was so sad that she complained to Xu’s mother a few words, saying that if she hadn’t given her 20,000 yuan, her son would not have gone to Macau to gamble, and he would not have let her white-haired person give away the black-haired person.
Xu's mother was full of grievances. She had sacrificed so much for her parents' family over the years, but in the end she had the reputation of "killing her younger brother."
In addition, employees who are laid off will no longer be able to live in the dormitories for free in Tongzilou. They must either pay to buy them or move out within a time limit.
In fact, the price offered by the factory is very cheap, much cheaper than the housing prices outside, but how can the Xu family have money at this time?
Seeing that many employees were spending money to buy houses, but her family was living on the streets, Xu's mother had a nervous breakdown and drank pesticides out of mind.
The patient was rescued, but his liver, kidney and nerve damage made the family even worse.
Since my family was so poor, I decided to go to the south to work with a little sister I met outside school.
As a result, before making any money, he got drunk with a glass of wine mixed with drugs and lost his innocence.
After that, she simply broke the rules and joined the red light district. One year, she was even swept into the police by the anti-pornography team.
Like the original person, Xu Xiao, the younger brother of the original person, had been living with his grandma’s house in the countryside when he was a child. Because he had more contact with his uncle, he learned to gamble at a young age.
After I went to school in the city, I often skipped class and went to the game hall to play gambling machines. I even had a dispute with the owner of the game hall because I suspected he was playing games, and almost caused an accident. Xu's father would go to the police station every three days to find people, and before he was forty, his temples would turn gray from worry.
After graduating from junior high school, Xu Xiao followed suit and went to the south to work, where he became involved with a gang boss. But the good times didn't last long, and he was swept into the trap during a large-scale cleaning operation.
The siblings took a photo at the police station, but neither of them recognized each other...
…”
After digesting all the plot, Xu Yin was silent.
Previously, she thought that the original body was a control group for the heroine, to set off the heroine's smooth sailing and happiness.
But now it is discovered that she is not the only one, the original family is all cannon fodder control group!
