Although Yan Bugui is an elder, he earns a low salary and is very cautious in everything he does, so he can't compare to him at all.
It seems he'll be the absolute leader of this compound from now on!
Everyone has to listen to him!
Everyone has to consult him about anything that happens in their family!
Jia Dongxu is back.
He worked late again tonight.
I finally dragged my tired body into the house.
Both women were very excited to see him return.
I couldn't wait to describe to him everything I had seen and heard that day.
"Have you heard in the factory that Yi Zhonghai has been fired and can no longer work at the steel rolling mill? If you see him in the yard in the future, don't call him 'Master' or greet him."
"Zhang Dajun and Liu Qiang both came today. They said that starting tomorrow, the street and the factory will take turns to publicly criticize him, and he will also have to give a report in front of everyone."
"If anyone in the factory asks about it, just kick them while they're down. Don't say anything good about them, or you might lose your job!"
Jia Dongxu stared in shock, his mouth agape!
Such a big thing happened in just one day.
He only heard yesterday that Yi Zhonghai brought back a cousin and was going to adopt a child.
She thought he had finally had an heir and had finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish.
I never imagined it was all a lie!
How dare he cheat on his wife with other women?
Oh my god, a transfer!
Don't tell me he's just an ordinary worker in the factory.
Even high-ranking leaders wouldn't dare to openly admit to having affairs like he does.
What a serious crime that must be.
Expelling him would be too lenient!
133. He Hongyang, tone it down! The whole hospital can't take this anymore!
Jia Dongxu felt both scared and sorry for him.
He stayed in the factory for a full 20 years.
Over the past 20 years, I've gone from apprentice to general worker to master craftsman.
He achieved it all through hard work and perseverance.
There are very few experienced workers like him in the steel rolling mill.
Although his salary hasn't increased in recent years, as long as the status quo is maintained, he will not only receive a salary but also a lot of benefits.
There are more and more people working in steel rolling mills now, and their salaries are getting better and better.
Many people desperately want to get in.
He got old and was laid off.
And he was fired because of this.
What should he do next?
Is it possible to find such a good job again?
Without a job, wouldn't he become just like those unemployed drifters?
If he doesn't have a job, how will he support himself and his family?
Back then, the Yi family was the one living the best life in the entire courtyard.
But over the years, his family has been plagued by one kind of trouble or another.
Life is getting worse every day.
Now I've even lost my job!
"Could it be a mistake? Could that woman be just making things up? Even though Master is eager to have a son, he would never bring a woman back for no reason."
"Having an affair is a big deal. Even if he finds another woman outside, he wouldn't be stupid enough to announce it openly to everyone, let alone in front of the people in the courtyard!"
"Why don't we have the neighborhood committee and the factory investigate this further? After all, he's a senior worker in the factory, and it's such a waste to fire him like this!"
Upon hearing him say this, Qin Huairu glared at him sharply.
This Jia Dongxu is such a blockhead.
At a time like this, they're still calling him "master" and defending Yi Zhonghai.
"I'll say it again, if you ever call him 'Master' again, don't even think about coming into this house. With him as your master, I'm not your wife. You can choose between the two of us!"
Seeing Qin Huairu angry, Jia Dongxu quickly said, "I'm just feeling sorry for him."
"Do you think you need to pity him? Don't forget that this is a decision made by the neighborhood committee and the factory. The factory has already issued the punishment document for him, and it's stamped with the big red seal '04.' Do you think you can overturn it all by yourself?"
"Who do you think you are, trying to pity others? Take care of yourself first. If you say one more word, you'll be implicated and lose your job!"
What is she saying?
After all, Yi Zhonghai had been his mentor for so many years, and they all lived in the same courtyard. Now that he was down on his luck, how could he turn a blind eye?
"How about I go to my master's house now and ask if he needs any help?"
Qin Huairu was so angry that she twisted his ear with her hand.
"If you leave this house now, never come back!"
Jia Dongxu was in so much pain that he screamed in agony.
"Mom, look how could Huairu treat me like this?"
In the past, Jia Zhangshi would definitely have sided with her son.
But she saw everything that happened today clearly.
Qin Huairu was right just now; we absolutely must not get involved with Yi Zhonghai.
Anyone who gets involved with him is doomed! 6
"Listen to your wife, whatever you do, don't go to his house. He and that old lady are going through a divorce right now. If you go, whose side will you take?"
"She's right. When you get to the factory tomorrow, if anyone asks, be sure not to speak up for him, lest you get implicated."
"Go to sleep already. He Hongyang's wife is pregnant. You guys need to hurry up tonight too."
That last sentence completely broke Jia Dongxu.
What? 5
Is He Hongyang's wife pregnant?
I never imagined they would have their own child so soon.
And myself...
He didn't dare tell his mother that he hadn't consummated his marriage with Qin Huairu yet.
If she finds out, the house will probably be in chaos again, and she and Qin Huairu will probably fight.
If the other people in the yard found out, they'd laugh their heads off.
He'd been married for several years, but he'd never even touched his wife.
He's married, but he still lives like a monk every day.
They insist that they have a physical problem and that they are useless!
Jia Dongxu didn't want to be talked about anymore.
Qin Huairu threw the pillow and blanket at him.
I know there's no show going tonight.
He's gotten used to it now and doesn't want to fight for himself anymore.
She lay trembling on the ground, hugging her blanket and sobbing.
"Waaah, why is my life so miserable? Why do other people have children while I'm still a greenhorn?"
After everyone has left.
Yi Zhonghai crawled out of the courtyard and found someone to reattach his arm.
Although both arms have returned to their original positions, they are still very swollen and I can't work yet.
He needs to stay home and rest for a while longer.
However, he is not unable to work now, but there is no work for him, and he will have to stay at home forever.
Thinking about this, Yi Zhonghai almost didn't want to live anymore.
I worked in factories for so many years, hoping that I could retire when I got old and let my son take over my job. But now I have nothing!
The older woman still ignored him.
He was still muttering to himself, "I'll go to the neighborhood office to get a divorce tomorrow."
If he gets divorced now, he'll really have nothing left.
I lost my job! I lost my family!
My salary is gone! My house is gone!
Are you suggesting we let him end up on the streets, hanging out with beggars?
Yi Zhonghai only now realizes that he went too far today.
He didn't know what came over him at the time, but he impulsively revealed his affair with that woman.
It's fine now.
It's too late for anything.
He said those words, he did those things, and it's impossible to take them back now.
Even if he wanted to admit his mistake, even if he wanted to regret it, there's no going back.
He can't go back to the factory now, and he doesn't want to lose his home too.
With his head down, he kept begging the older woman for forgiveness: "I was wrong. Please don't divorce me for the sake of our many years of marriage."
The middle-aged woman had almost cried all her tears out.
You're wrong now, why didn't you do this earlier?
He was incredibly arrogant when he slapped her.
He was incredibly proud of himself when he brought that woman home.
Now that he has lost his son and his job, he's thinking of her again!
"You probably don't want to admit your mistake, but rather you don't want to end up homeless, that's why you're saying this."
Yi Zhonghai knew that she wouldn't believe anything he said.
But now, this old lady is his only hope.
“I was really wrong. I didn’t know I had a health problem before, which is why I made that mistake and believed that woman.”
"Now I know I have a health problem and I will never have a son again."
"Don't worry, from today onwards, I will never think about our son again, nor will I look at other women. I will definitely live my life with you sincerely."
Unexpectedly, even Yi Zhonghai has moments of admitting defeat and speaking softly.
The middle-aged woman simply poured out all the grievances she had accumulated over the years.
"Don't you know you have a problem? You just don't believe me, okay? I told you long ago to go see He Hongyang for proper treatment. Maybe if you get better, we can have our own child, but you just won't believe me!"
