The eldest brother scratched his hair and said, "I don't know what's going on."
"Suddenly someone said in the group that I signed an understanding agreement with the factory, and then secretly took the benefits of the factory and sold the workers!"
"Xiaodong, do you know who the elder brother is? Can I do such a thing?"
"As for what they said about me bringing the mistress with a corrupt wallet, that's even more impossible!"
Zhao Dong looked at the painting tube on the side and said, "Did you hide this from my sister-in-law again and pick this up?"
The eldest brother, like him, has been influenced by his father since he was a child and likes to write and write.
It's just that he likes calligraphy, and his eldest brother likes painting more.
Later, under the dual pressure of life and work, and the lack of support from my sister-in-law, this hobby was slowly put aside.
Especially after having Xiaoman, he hadn't seen his elder brother pick up a paintbrush for several years.
The eldest brother rubbed the painting tube and said, "Yuanyuan's birthday is coming soon, and I want to prepare a birthday gift for her."
"My eldest brother doesn't have much ability, and he can't afford very good things. I can only afford this painting. It's more about affection than etiquette."
As he said that, the topic came back again, "I was sketching outside today and turned my phone on silent. When I came back in the afternoon, I saw that the group was abuzz, and some people were planning to go to our house to cause trouble."
"Xiaodong, don't worry, I will definitely give Yuanyuan an explanation for this matter!"
Zhao Dong raised his eyebrows, "Brother, don't be impulsive. No matter who hurt Yuanyuan, leave this matter to the police."
"Tell me what's going on at the factory. Did you sign any understanding agreement with the factory?"
The elder brother thought for a while and said, "No, the district came forward to mediate, and the factory also agreed to compensate, and even provided a sum of money in advance for me to use to appease the workers."
Zhao Dong asked: "Where is the money? How much is it and where is it?"
The eldest brother explained, "The money is about 100,000. He said he called me in the past two days, but I haven't received it yet."
Seeing that the inquiry could not yield any results, Zhao Dong warned: "Well, brother, don't be anxious about this. I will accompany you to the factory tomorrow morning!"
The eldest brother apologized, "Xiaodong, is it inappropriate to delay your work because of my affairs?"
Zhao Dong asked back, "What's inappropriate? What's yours and mine between family affairs?"
"Besides, since this matter has been delayed for so long, the factory should also give you an explanation!"
"If the matter is not resolved, your co-workers will come to the house to cause trouble next time!"
After some comfort, the two brothers returned to the ward.
Seeing that his sister-in-law was not there, Zhao Dong asked, "Where is my sister-in-law?"
Sophie explained, "Let's go back first. I asked her to go home and prepare dinner for Mom and Xiaoman."
"Besides, my sister-in-law is very angry right now. It's best to let her go back and calm down, otherwise she will have to quarrel when she sees her brother."
With that said, she pulled Zhao Dong out of the door, "My sister-in-law briefly told me what happened in the afternoon. What happened?"
"Why did those people come to the house?"
"Although my eldest brother is taking the lead in this matter, no matter how much trouble is made, it should not be caused by my own family, right?"
Zhao Dong shook his head, "I don't know the details, and my eldest brother can't tell. Anyway, tomorrow morning, I plan to accompany my eldest brother to the factory to have a look and understand the situation first."
He didn't know why, but he always had a bad feeling.
Maybe Bao Xiaosan's matter was a misunderstanding, but what about the others? If it was really groundless, how could those people say it so well?
He always felt that the eldest brother might have been tricked into it!
But he didn't know the specific situation, so he couldn't make random guesses, and he didn't dare to say anything to make Sophie worry!
Just as Sophie was about to give instructions, the eldest brother came out of the ward and said, "Xiaodong, you can send Xiaofei back later. I'll just keep watch here tonight."
Sophie waved her hand, "Okay, brother, don't waste your time anymore."
"If my sister-in-law knows that you won't go back tonight, she will definitely have to fight with you again!"
The eldest brother's face was serious, "I stay here to take care of Yuanyuan, what else can she say?"
Sophie continued to persuade, "Well, brother, you go back to spend time with your sister-in-law tonight."
"Sister-in-law has been worried all day today. It would be inappropriate for you not to go back."
"It'll be fine if Zhao Dong and I are here tonight."
"You come over later tomorrow and put us back together!"
After persuading her eldest brother to leave, Sophie looked back at Zhao Dong and said, "Okay, you can go back as well. You have to accompany your eldest brother to the factory tomorrow."
Zhao Dong raised his eyebrows, "I'll go back too, what about you?"
Sophie said matter-of-factly: "I'm keeping vigil here! Now that Yuanyuan is gone, who will take care of her?"
Seeing that Zhao Dong was about to refute, she said with a straight face, "Don't talk nonsense, Yuanyuan was injured because of you, Zhao Dong, how could I just ignore it?"
"If this happened, if any of us in the Zhao family were absent, someone would have their backs stabbed!"
"I am the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family. As long as I am here, the Zhao family's face will be with you!"
Zhao Dong smiled bitterly, "Then I should stay and let you stay and take care of Yuanyuan. How can I be embarrassed?"
Sophie glared, "What are you embarrassed about?"
"Besides, Yuanyuan is a girl, how can you, a grown man, take care of her?"
"When you really encounter inconvenience, do you care or don't you care?"
Zhao Dong was stunned. The truth was correct, but he always felt that it was not the case!
Sophie raised her eyebrows, "What's the matter, are you afraid that I will bully your Yuanyuan girl when you are not here?"
Zhao Dong quickly waved his hands, held her in his arms and said, "Of course I didn't mean it like that, I just feel sorry for my wife and I'm afraid I'll wrong you!"
Sophie snorted, "You still have some conscience!"
Seeing Zhao Dong's worried look, she straightened Zhao Dong's collar and said softly: "Okay, there's nothing to worry about. I called the nurse. I really don't need to do any dirty work."
Zhao Dong was stunned, "Then according to what you said, what's the difference between the two of us who stays?"
Sophie tugged on her collar and said, "I don't want you to be in the same room with other women!"
Seeing Zhao Dong wanting to defend, she stared and said, "I know Feng Yuanyuan is your sister, so I'll be jealous too, okay?"
Zhao Dong grinned, "Honey, you are so kind!"
Sophie half-smiled, "Better than the sister who blocked a knife for you?"
Zhao Dong hugged her waist, "You also said that she is my sister and you are my wife. There is no comparison."
"My sister is good to me, I have to repay her kindness!"
Sophie asked back, "What if your wife treats you well? You won't repay her?"
Zhao Dong stared into her eyes and said word by word: "Repay! Not only do I want to pay back, I also want to treat her better, every good thing!"
As he spoke, he lowered his head and kissed her.
Sophie was stunned for a moment, and then began to respond awkwardly.
The tip of her nose twitched, and the pungent smell of disinfectant brought her back to reality quickly. She hurriedly pushed Zhao Dong away, "You're going to die, this is a public place!"
As she spoke, she looked towards the nurse's station not far away.
A group of young nurses snickered one after another, and some were still whispering to each other.
Sophie stamped her feet angrily and said with a blushing face: "I hate you so much, Zhao Dong, why are you so thick-skinned?"
"Go away quickly, I don't want to see you!"
After expelling Zhao Dong, she had just returned to the ward when she turned around and heard Feng Yuanyuan ask, "Have you done your ideological work, have you persuaded Brother Zhao Dong to leave as well?"
Sophie smiled calmly, "Are you disappointed?"
Following this exchange, the atmosphere in the ward became a little weird!
