"Thank you, Brother Zhou, for taking this matter. How about we go to a restaurant to have a meal."
Zhou Bin smiled and looked at Chen Lishu: "We are so familiar with each other, so you don't need to be polite to me. I still have something to do in my unit that I can't leave. Let's talk about it next time when we have a chance."
"Sure." After thanking Zhou Bin again, Chen Lishu and Gu Xingye walked to Qingshan Garment Factory.
Along the way, Gu Xingye was still a little confused about the fact that he was about to have a job.
"Third sister-in-law, what do Brother Zhou and the Material Bureau do?" Gu Xingye asked curiously.
"I don't know the specifics. But I heard that it is a place that supplies steel, cement, tires and other materials."
Chen Lishu only knew that the Bureau of Materials and Materials was a product of the planned economy. It probably also played a role in macroeconomic adjustment.
In the 1960s and 1970s, it was a very fat department. In the 1980s, with the rapid economic development, this department was gradually eliminated.
Gu Xingye nodded in understanding.
"When you get to work, just remember to talk less and do more. There is nothing else to be afraid of. If someone bullies you, don't just swallow it. They are all part-time workers, and no one is nobler than the other."
After hearing her words, Gu Xingye suddenly felt more confident. He smiled and showed his big white teeth: "I do my job well, who can bully me?"
As the two talked, they arrived at Qingshan Garment Factory.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the door of the guard room, Chen Xiangfa greeted them.
"Uncle Chen."
"What are you doing here?" Chen Xiangfa said with a stern face, and his tone was worse than ever.
Only then did Chen Lishu realize that something was wrong: "Uncle Chen, what's going on? Who made you angry?"
Chen Xiangfa snorted coldly: "Who made me angry? Why, did you bring your brother-in-law here today just to see a joke or to provoke? I really didn't see that you are such a person. You can do what you do behind your back.
If you feel embarrassed to say it yourself, let your eldest uncle come over and say it!"
Chen Lishu was stunned for a moment and didn't respond: "What did you say?"
Thinking of what happened that day, Chen Xiang's face turned blue with anger and his chest heaved violently: "It's fine if you don't agree, why bother humiliating my niece with her divorce? What kind of second-hand goods are not worthy of your first-marriage young man? Get out of here!"
, don’t wait for me to whip you with a big broom.”
There are even worse things that he doesn’t want to say at all.
Chen Lishu was confused by what he said. She frowned and explained patiently: "Uncle Chen, is there some misunderstanding? We have never said this before."
"Just because you didn't say it doesn't mean that your family members didn't say it. I'm not blind, and that man looks a lot like your brother-in-law. How can he be wrong? People have said it so well, so hurry up too
Let's go. I will definitely not do this business with your family from now on."
Whoever sells rags is not for sale, so why bother with a warm face and a cold butt? He never wants to have anything to do with them in the future.
Chen Lishu's heart turned over when she heard Chen Xiangfa's words. Someone who looked similar to Gu Xingye said he was her eldest brother, so it could only be Gu Xingguo and Gu Xingmin. It was impossible for Gu Xingguo to do such a thing, so it could only be Gu Xingmin
.
But why did he do this? What benefit would it bring to him to offend Chen Xiangfa and Liu Xiaoting? Then Chen Lishu thought about it, yes, there are many benefits, and the result in front of her is the biggest benefit. If she doesn't, she can buy rags.
Maybe, otherwise how did Liu Yuemin’s rags come from?
Okay, these two people are even willing to do such a thing for money!
Chen Lishu's pretty face was instantly covered with a layer of frost.
"Uncle Chen, you should know what kind of person I am after we have been together for such a long time. If I really looked down on Sister Liu and you mentioned her second marriage, I would have refused directly. As for what other people said, it has nothing to do with me.
It doesn't matter if you are worried about selling the rags to me, but I still want to clarify this matter. What that person said has nothing to do with us."
"Yes, we have never said that. You have misunderstood my third sister-in-law. I just rejected this marriage because I have someone I like in my heart."
When he heard that someone misunderstood Chen Lishu, Gu Xingye couldn't bear to hide his thoughts and anxiously helped to explain.
"No matter who said it, I can't run away from your family. Now that I see you, I feel angry. You two should leave quickly and don't come here again."
Seeing that there was no chance of recovery, Chen Lishu shook her head at Gu Xingye when she wanted to talk again.
"Uncle Chen, let's leave first." After Chen Lishu finished speaking, she and Gu Xingye turned and left.
"Third sister-in-law, let's just forget about this matter? How will you do this flower business in the future?" On the way back, Gu Xingye asked unwillingly.
"Otherwise, what else can we do?" Chen Lishu showed a wry smile: "Crying and shouting, begging Uncle Chen to forgive us? He already has knots in his heart, and any more words are in vain."
Gu Xingye was not stupid. After contacting him before and after the incident, he knew that it must have been his second brother and his wife. He felt angry and disappointed, and he blamed himself even more when facing Chen Lishu.
"This is all because of me. If it weren't for my marriage, it wouldn't be like this."
Chen Lishu smiled: "What does it have to do with you? Someone is just taking advantage of this."
Not wanting to mention this terrible thing, Chen Lishu changed the subject and said, "I just heard that my fourth brother has someone he likes. Who is it? Why don't you ask your parents to ask a matchmaker to find out?"
When Gu Xingye mentioned this, he scratched his head in embarrassment: "They have good conditions and a job, but I'm afraid of being rejected."
When he said this, Chen Lishu became even more curious. Her family was in good condition and she had a job. Who could that be?
"You can't belittle yourself as a person. Fourth brother, you are not bad either. You are young and handsome, and you are optimistic and positive. These are all very good qualities."
Gu Xingye had never known that he had so many advantages, and he was embarrassed to be praised by her.
After walking for a while, he hesitated and said: "Third sister-in-law, do you think Zhang Xiaoju can like someone like me?"
Zhang Xiaoju? The only daughter of Zhang Changhe, the village party secretary, and a salesperson at the village supply and marketing cooperative.
No wonder Gu Xingye hesitated to say that the conditions in the village were indeed very good. He even said that as long as she wanted to, she could marry a formal employee in the city.
"I don't know if she likes it or not, but I think fourth brother, if you like it, you can be brave. After all, the worst result is that she doesn't agree. But if you keep it in your heart and dare not say it, you will really do it when you miss it.
Sorry."
During the second half of the way back, Gu Xingye kept thinking about what Chen Lishu said.
After returning home, Chen Lishu cut pig grass first, then fed the pigs and chickens before washing her hands and making dinner.
"Mom and Dad, the comrade named Zhou whom my third sister-in-law knew introduced me to a job in the Materials Bureau..."
During dinner, Gu Xingzhen took the initiative to talk about the incident.
