Xu Huayang said matter-of-factly: "I regard you as a friend, and naturally I also regard Zhao Dong as a friend."
"It's just that he has some grudges against me because of past events, but as long as you don't misunderstand me, that's fine!"
With that, he brought up the subject again, "By the way, if you need anything from Zhengyang Group, just say hello to me."
"I had contact with their boss at a previous business negotiation meeting, and it was a bit respectable. Maybe I can come forward to help my elder brother make peace with him!"
Sophie looked happy, "Really?"
Xu Huayang smiled and said, "How can this be true or false? Do friends still need to be so polite?"
Seeing Sophie's expression, he suddenly stood up and said, "Okay, you can call me anytime if you need anything. I just came over to check on you. Since you're fine, I'll leave first."
…
The afternoon passed quickly.
Because he was worried about his mother and sister-in-law, Zhao Dong got off work early and returned home first.
The food has been prepared, but the atmosphere in the house is wrong and no one wants to use chopsticks.
My sister-in-law was not in a good mood and her eye circles were red and swollen.
Xiaoman comforted him.
Mother Zhao sat upright and said, "Xiaodong is back, go wash your hands quickly and then eat."
"When you finish eating, you can bring some more to Yuanyuan."
After saying that, she glanced at her sister-in-law and said, "Okay, boss and wife, please stop crying. I understand my son."
"Although Zhao Qing is confused sometimes, he is definitely not the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong!"
"Don't believe what people outside say. As long as Zhao Qing has never done anything untoward, this piece of shit will never be blamed on my son!"
Zhao Dong sat down and said, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Did someone tell you something?"
As if seeing the backbone, the sister-in-law pulled Zhao Dong and said: "Xiaodong, tell me, are there any bullies like them?"
After Zhao Dong heard this, he was angry.
It turns out that the news of eldest brother's accident has spread to everyone.
Some say that the elder brother is betraying the interests of workers.
Others say that the eldest brother colluded with the accountant and the factory director to sell the factory.
Anyway, there are a lot of rumors about everything.
Because it is an indisputable fact that the eldest brother was arrested by the police, no matter how much the eldest sister-in-law defends, no one will believe her!
Anyway, because of this incident, the Zhao family has become the target of beatings by everyone in the old street.
In the afternoon, several workers came over with their families to make a fuss.
Fortunately, the police came and persuaded the people to leave.
In addition to Feng Yuanyuan's injury, although these workers cursed harshly, they did not do anything extraordinary.
When my sister-in-law went out to buy groceries at night, she was stabbed in the spine and chased and scolded all the way.
These are nothing, mainly in the evening, my sister-in-law called her work to ask for a few days off, but she was notified that she was suspended!
The sister-in-law became more and more aggrieved as she talked, "Xiaodong, tell me, even the police didn't have an explanation for your elder brother's matter. Why did they suspend me?"
"Besides, your eldest brother is your eldest brother, and I am me. I have worked hard in the unit these years, why should I be suspended from my job?"
Zhao Dong didn't know how to persuade her. My sister-in-law had been working as a cashier in a small company these years.
Although he doesn't have much ability, he is diligent and can be considered a veteran.
Unexpectedly, the incident spread so quickly that even my sister-in-law was implicated!
Zhao Dong comforted him: "Sister-in-law, that's just right. You can take a rest."
"Didn't you often complain before that you were tired from work and had no time to rest? Think of it as a vacation!"
"When Brother's matter is resolved, they will definitely beg you to go back to work!"
The sister-in-law had other ideas, "Your eldest brother lost his job, I'm suspended, and Xiaoman is recuperating from his injury. How will our family live like this?"
Zhao Dong said hurriedly: "Sister-in-law, didn't I give you a living allowance last time?"
The sister-in-law wiped her tears and said, "Sister-in-law, that's not what I meant. There are so many mouths in the house, we can't let you raise them all by yourself, right?"
"Let a brother-in-law who is not married be responsible for supporting the whole family. The whole world cannot understand this truth!"
Zhao Dong couldn't say anything, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, my eldest brother was wrongly accused, and this matter will definitely pass!"
The eldest sister-in-law was upset, "Hey, I'm afraid that all the trouble caused by your elder brother will affect your marriage with Xiaofei!"
As if she felt that this topic was inappropriate, she hurriedly said: "Xiaodong, do the police have any clues?"
Zhao Dong hesitated for a moment. He originally wanted to tell Feng Yuanyuan's analysis, but thinking of his sister-in-law's personality, he held back for the time being.
After a few random words, dinner ended in a strange atmosphere.
The sister-in-law went to clean up the kitchen. Mother Zhao stood up and said, "Xiaodong, come out with me."
All the way to the rooftop, Mother Zhao finally spoke, "There were some things you just couldn't say in front of my sister-in-law, and now I won't ask any more questions."
"Just one sentence, was your eldest brother wrongly accused, or did he really do something wrong?"
Zhao Dong said firmly: "Brother was wronged, and I can assure you that he didn't get a penny for it!"
Mother Zhao softened her tone and said, "Do you have a solution?"
Zhao Dong nodded, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely not let anything happen to my eldest brother!"
Mother Zhao turned around, with a rare aura in her eyes, "Xiaodong, please remember, our sons of the Zhao family don't do anything wrong, but they are not obedient lambs to be slaughtered!"
"You can just go ahead and take care of your brother's affairs. If you encounter troubles that are difficult to deal with, just tell me."
"Even if mom puts her old face on the line, she will definitely protect the face of our Zhao family!"
…
After comforting his mother, Zhao Dong went downstairs with his lunch box.
Picked up Uncle Feng, and then the two of them went to the hospital together.
Dinner is for two people, one for Feng Yuanyuan and one for Li Dan.
Li Dan took the lunch box and said with rare joy: "Brother Zhao Dong, even me?"
Zhao Dongguan said, "You took care of Yuanyuan all afternoon today, can Brother Dong still treat you badly?"
"Don't worry, after Yuanyuan is discharged from the hospital, I will give Zhi a few days off and ask him to accompany you to the surrounding areas to relax. All the expenses will be borne by me!"
Li Dan smiled and said nothing, holding the lunch box in his hand, his heart filled with strange happiness.
Because the patient needed to rest and Uncle Feng was getting older, the two of them did not stay long.
Zhao Dong called Yu Zhi over and sent Li Dan back first, then took Uncle Feng back with him.
When the ward was empty, Feng Yuanyuan didn't feel empty, but felt that it was like a world between two people.
She smiled and said: "Brother Zhao Dong, I want to eat apples!"
Zhao Dong was stunned, "Didn't you like eating apples before?"
Feng Yuanyuan raised her chin, "I think Sister Xiaofei likes it, and I want to try it too!"
Zhao Dong pulled up the chair and asked while peeling the apple, "I see that your sister-in-law is not in good condition today, so I won't let her come over. I'll stay here and watch the bed for you. Do you mind?"
Feng Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Brother Zhao Dong, you really care about your wife!"
Zhao Dong handed the apple over, "I not only love my wife, I also love you as my sister!"
Feng Yuanyuan took a bite and her eyes narrowed.
Zhao Dong said hurriedly: "What's wrong?"
Feng Yuanyuan nodded, "It's so sweet!"
As she said that, she changed the subject, "By the way, Brother Zhao Dong, let me tell you something, but you have to be mentally prepared!"
