There are only two days left for the Chinese New Year, and everyone who can be discharged from the hospital has gone home. No one wants to stay in the hospital just before the Chinese New Year.
After sitting in the clinic all morning, there was not a single patient. At lunch time, Li Chu gave his son an early day off.
Sitting on the sofa in the office in the afternoon, he was bored and planning to go out for a walk. There was a "bang" and the office door was pushed open.
He didn't even need to look, no one would come in like this except his wife.
"Is everything okay?"
"It's nothing to do originally. I won't be coming over tomorrow. I made an appointment with Xiao'e to go out for a walk."
"Well, let's go. Well? Lou Xiao'e came here just now?"
"Yes, the hotel has already closed for the holidays. She ran over here in the afternoon without anything to do and just left."
Ding Qiunan sat down on the sofa, grabbed a handful of melon seeds on the coffee table, and said while eating: "Xiao'e just told me that Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu's restaurant is closed."
"It's normal, isn't their house closed too?"
"Their house is on holiday, and that one is closed."
!!!
Li Chu, who had been looking at the newspaper in his hand, finally raised his head.
"Did I hear you correctly? You said it's closed? She's quitting? She's quitting after only four months of business?"
"If I can't get my salary, how can I pay it back?"
"What's going on? How did Lou Xiao'e know? Yesterday Xu Damao came over and said he just couldn't drive anymore."
"What Xu Damao was talking about happened last month. It was yesterday that they decided to close. Lou Xiao'e only found out about it this morning. A cook who was following He Yuzhu came to her this morning and wanted to continue after the New Year.
Come here to do it.
It was said that when He Yuzhu took them there, he promised to give them a salary of 80 yuan a month, but it turned out that the salary was not enough in the first month. In the middle two months, he only gave 60 yuan a month. Yesterday, he paid 80 yuan.
The monthly salary was even more ruthless, and they were only given 40, saying they really had no money, and asked them to wait for the rest."
Wait, how can you wait? These people are living on this money. They are no better than factory workers. In addition to being paid wages, they are also given counting tickets. If they need tickets, they can only buy them at Pigeon Market, which will inevitably cost more than others.
, how do these people celebrate the New Year?
"And Xiao'e didn't know until today that He Yuzhu had deducted the money from helping the cooks."
"What's going on? How are wages deducted?" Li Chu was stunned. Although He Yuzhu in his impression was not a very good person, he shouldn't have done such a thing, right?
"At the beginning, He Yuzhu took his apprentice, the one surnamed Ma, and three assistant cooks. His salary was 200, his apprentice also had to cook, which was 120, and the remaining three assistant cooks were all 70.
Every time when wages were paid, Xiao'e would give the money directly to He Yuzhu, and the chef asked him to pay it by himself. As a result, he deducted ten yuan from everyone, which meant that it was to honor him. After all, he was the one who led them to find the place.
work.”
"Fuck, it's only forty per month?"
"What do you think, and this time he also made a fool of his apprentice Xiao Ma. Originally, Xiao Ma went to Qin Huairu's place to be the chef, but now he ran over again to cause trouble, and Xiao Ma became the boss again.
He does the job and gets a small salary.
The assistant cook said that Xiao Ma and his wife have given him an ultimatum this time, saying that if he continues to hang out with He Yuzhu like this in the future, he will divorce him."
"Alas~" Li Chu sighed, every family has sutras that are difficult to recite.
It’s not like my daughter-in-law is acting up without reason. She did a good job at Xu Damao’s place, so she forced her to come here and come as she comes. It’s not bad to be able to serve as a spoon, but what does it mean for you to come here again?
The wages kept falling again and again, and Xiao Ma and his wife didn't go to He Yuzhu's door to scold her, so she was considered well-mannered.
He Yuzhu really did a lot of harm to the people who followed him this time, and also to Xiaodang.
Originally, if he had not lent Qin Huairu money, this restaurant would not have been able to open at all. In this way, Xiaodang could continue to work peacefully with Xu Damao, earning more than a hundred yuan a month. This was great.
, all cool.
He himself is in trouble, his wife is gone, his son has changed his surname now, and he is a loner again at the age of fifty.
They used to be a very happy family, but now they are like this. Who is the weird one?
Here Li Chu and Ding Qiunan were talking about He Yuzhu, and over there he was sitting by the road of his house with a sad face, smoking a cigarette alone.
Because he is the only one left in the family, he doesn't know how to live this year.
He is still in trouble and can't tell. What he least expected about this incident was that Cui Chunmei's temper would be so fierce.
Whether he lent the money he kept for Yi Ping'an to Qin Huairu or secretly took the money from his own home, he just wanted to help her. In fact, he had no other intentions at all.
According to his thinking, even if Cui Chunmei discovers that he stole the family's money, as long as he admits his mistake and makes a good guarantee, she will forgive him for the sake of her son.
But he never expected that when people found out that the money was missing, they didn't say anything at all. Instead, they took advantage of the night and ran over to block the door with others.
He went there that night, just to help Qin Huairu see if the kitchen guy had bought everything.
But it was late at night, and a man and a woman were alone and trapped in the house. At that time, they couldn't even speak clearly.
At that time, he was also angry that Cui Chunmei was so decisive and made him lose face, so he agreed to the divorce smoothly.
He regretted it at the street office the next morning, but Cui Chunmei either went to the police station or went in, forcing him to have no way out, so he got divorced in a muddle.
Now when he turned his head and looked again, he really wanted to slap himself in the mouth.
I just looked at Xu Damao and made a lot of money by opening a restaurant, but I didn't see how much he did behind the scenes. The sufficient vegetables, eggs, meat, chicken, and duck in his store every day didn't come from him.
Now it's better, I threw 3,000 yuan in and didn't even hear a sound.
Qin Huairu slapped his butt back, but what about him? He still has to suffer from famine.
Not only did he owe the wages of his apprentice and the cook, but most importantly, he also owed Yi Ping'an two thousand yuan, which he had to save before driving him out.
At this moment, he was getting more and more depressed as he thought about it.
The neighbors in the yard where he lived were pointing fingers at him all day long, so no one in the yard even interacted with him.
Who can treat a person who can only live a good life and hang out with a widow all day long?
That is to say, we are in the 1980s now. If he had been in the 1950s and 1960s, the people in the yard would have kicked him out. Living with such people would have cost them too much.
