After Zhuang's mother was hospitalized, Huang Ling took Wang Gang and Zhuang Xiaoting to the hospital to visit them and delivered meals to Zhuang Chaoying.
Because Zhuang Chaoying stayed with her all night long and had to go to work during the day, she looked even more haggard than Zhuang's mother, with heavy dark circles under her eyes like a giant panda.
When Zhuang's mother saw Zhuang Xiaoting, she brought up the old matter again.
"Chaoying stayed with me in the hospital for three days. It was really hard. Huang Ling, please ask Xiaoting to come over and change."
Zhuang Xiaoting heard this and hid behind Wang Gang in fear.
"Mom, I don't want to spend the night in the hospital." Zhuang Xiaoting said fearfully.
Huang Ling protected her children and never flinched when facing Mother Zhuang.
"The child is still young and can't take care of anyone." Huang Ling said, "Why don't the couple see anyone?"
Mother Zhuang looked unnatural and said: "They are busy with work!"
Huang Ling raised her eyebrows and said, "Really? Then I'll go to their factory and ask the leader."
"Huang Ling." Zhuang's mother said anxiously: "I'm like this, why don't you want to help? My Zhuang family is really unlucky to have a wife like you for eight lifetimes."
When other patients and family members in the ward heard Zhuang's mother's words, they looked at Huang Ling with unusual contempt.
Wang Gang didn't want his mother to be wronged, so he stood up and said loudly: "Grandma, what you said makes no sense. When you are hospitalized, my father will accompany you every day, and my mother will cook and deliver. Who is idle?"
On the contrary, the third uncle's family has not even seen each other, but you blame my mother. Is it wrong for us to contribute money and efforts, and should we do what the third uncle did and leave you in the hospital without asking any questions? "
At this time, the person in the ward turned to look at Zhuang's mother again.
Wang Gang continued: "Grandma, I often hear from my neighbors that the fragrance is far away and the smell is far away. How did it come to your place that the fragrance is far away and the smell is far away?"
Although Zhuang's mother was sarcastic, she couldn't keep up with Wang Gang in terms of words and flattery, and Wang Gang's few words made her blush.
"Mom, let's follow the example of three uncles and three aunts in the future and don't come to the hospital. Stay away from the hospital. It might be too sweet and smelly." Wang Gang continued to stab his grandma in the heart.
Zhuang Chaoying didn't want to see her mother embarrassed, so she said to Wang Gang: "Zhuang Tunan, please stop saying a few words! If you have nothing to do, go home first, as long as I'm here at the hospital."
When Huang Ling heard her husband's words, she put down her lunch box without saying a word, took her children and left. The angry mother Zhuang shouted, "The family is unfortunate."
After walking out of the hospital, Wang Gang smiled and said to Huang Ling: "Mom, don't you care if grandma says this to you?"
Huang Ling sighed and said: "If she wants to say it, just say it! I understand now that I just need to live my own life. It doesn't matter what other people say."
Wang Gang smiled and said, "We really don't care about dad. He has been running to schools and hospitals these days and he stinks."
Huang Ling snorted coldly: "He wants to fulfill his filial piety, he wants to be a filial son, how can I take care of him."
Zhuang Xiaoting took Huang Ling's hand and said weakly: "Dad is so pitiful!"
Huang Ling felt soft in her heart, and then said firmly: "This is his own choice, no one forced him."
Wang Gang sighed and said: "My father was completely tied to death by the word "filial piety". For the sake of reputation, he made himself look like a human being inside and out. After a hard work, he is not even half as good."
Huang Ling gritted her teeth and said, "Your third uncle and three aunt are really shameless. If I were your father, I would have kicked them out of the house."
Zhuang Xiaoting said pitifully: "Mom, will you drive me away?"
Huang Ling was stunned and said: "Xiao Ting, how could I drive you away?"
Zhuang Xiaoting shrank into Huang Ling's arms in fear.
Wang Gang smiled and said, "Mom, can you understand my father and mother now?"
Huang Ling said speechlessly: "Of course I know that my children love themselves, but your father is also their son! Your father and mother-in-law are too partial."
Wang Gang curled his lips and said: "My father and mother-in-law decided early in the morning that my third uncle will provide for him in his old age. I can understand their partiality."
Huang Ling said worriedly: "Tunan, you won't forgive me, will you?"
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "I'm not close to them at all, and I don't resent them, so I can't forgive them.
But the third uncle is indeed a bit dishonest. He occupies the house of my father and my mother-in-law, but does not want to fulfill his obligation to provide for the elderly. He blindly exploits my father. It is indeed abominable."
Huang Ling said angrily: "Your father is also stupid. He doesn't realize that he is being exploited. He is willing to fall into the trap for the sake of filial piety."
Wang Gang said with a cold face: "My dad, we can bully him, but outsiders can't bully him."
Huang Ling asked doubtfully: "Tunan, what do you want to do?"
Wang Gang said nonchalantly: "I'm not doing anything, I just don't want my third uncle and my third aunt to have such an easy time."
Huang Ling was full of doubts, but seeing that Wang Gang had no intention of continuing to reveal anything, she stopped asking. Anyway, her son had an idea since he was a child, so she didn't need to worry about it at all.
…………
On this day, as soon as Zhuang Kanmei came to work, his colleagues told him that the workshop director wanted to see him for something.
Rushing to the office, Zhuang Ganmei saw director Xiao Dingbang sitting at his desk with a very ugly expression.
"Director Xiao, if you have anything to ask me," Zhuang Ganmei bowed and said respectfully.
Xiao Dingbang slammed the table angrily and shouted: "Zhuang Ganmei, your mother is having an operation in the hospital, why didn't you tell me?"
"Ah?" Zhuang Qimei said in confusion: "Director, how did you know that my mother is in the hospital?"
"Hmph." Xiao Dingbang snorted coldly and said, "I received a letter from the superiors saying that our machinery factory is inhumane, does not know how to show sympathy to its employees, and does not grant leave to workers' families who are sick and hospitalized."
Zhuang Ganmei said in surprise: "Report, what report?"
Xiao Dingbang said solemnly: "The report letter was sent directly to the factory director's home. Now the factory director asked me to investigate this matter strictly."
Zhuang Ganmei swallowed her saliva and said, "Director Xiao, you have to believe me, I don't know about the report letter! And I never thought about asking for leave."
Xiao Dingbang snorted coldly: "You are still pretending to me, I have checked it and the report letter was sent from your home."
"Hiss." Zhuang Ganmei realized the seriousness of the problem.
"False accusation, someone must have framed me." Zhuang Ganmei said anxiously.
"Who framed you for nothing? What kind of big shot do you think you are?" Xiao Dingbang said with a cold face: "Zhuang Qimei, if you want to ask for leave, just tell me directly, why do you need to do these little tricks."
Zhuang Ganmei broke into cold sweat and said in a panic: "Director Xiao, you have to believe me. I really didn't write the report letter. If you don't believe me, you can check it."
Xiao Dingbang hummed and said: "It doesn't matter whether you are or not. The factory director has personally dealt with this matter. I will grant you a month's leave. You can go home and take care of your mother."
"Ah!" Zhuang Qimei was dumbfounded.
"Go and clean up after get off work!" Xiao Dingbang waved his hand, not wanting to see Zhuang Kanmei again.
"Director, I will take a month off, will I get paid?" Zhuang Ganmei asked with a sad face.
"You don't work and you still want wages?" Xiao Dingbang was stunned. He probably didn't expect Zhuang Qimei to be so thick-skinned.
"If I don't have a salary, I won't ask for leave," Zhuang Ganmei said.
"Are you going to ask for leave now if you don't want to? The factory director knows this, and you don't want to take leave yet because you want to embarrass me?" Xiao Dingbang's eyes gradually turned cold as he looked at Zhuang Qimei.
"Ah, no, director, I didn't mean that." Zhuang Ganmei said with a tearful voice.
"Go out and get off work immediately. I don't want to see you in the factory." Xiao Dingbang snorted coldly.
Zhuang Qimei came out of the office in despair, packed her things and returned home. Then she was shocked to see that her wife had also returned home early.
“I don’t know who Shaqiandao reported me to my work unit for stealing things from the government.”
After hearing what his wife said, Zhuang Ganmei finally realized that someone was messing with them.
