Just when Wei Shuying was confused, the factory leader rushed over, grabbed Wei Shuying's hand, and said excitedly.
"Comrade Qiao Zuwang was injured to protect public property from loss. I have also heard about his situation. Please rest assured that the factory will do its best to treat you. If you have any difficulties at home, you can always report it to the factory.
, we will try our best to satisfy you.”
Wei Shuying was not moved after hearing this. She was more confused. She couldn't understand what kind of virtue Qiao Zuwang was. Protecting public assets? How brave was he?
Qiao Yicheng also looked at a loss. He would rather believe that Qiao Zuwang was beaten like this because he was in debt while playing cards.
"Director, is there something wrong here?" Wei Shuying asked hesitantly.
However, the factory director grabbed Wei Shuying's hand and said excitedly to his subordinates.
"Look, these are heroic family members. They are upright and honest. They are dedicated to serving the public and do not want to add burden to the factory."
As he spoke, the factory director said to Wei Shuying in a serious tone.
"Comrade Wei Shuying, I'm going to criticize you. Your high moral character is worthy of praise, but I also understand your family's situation. So many children live off Comrade Qiao Zuwang's salary."
"We can't let our heroes bleed or shed tears. I think this is better. If Comrade Qiao Zuwang is unable to return to work, you will take over his job. In addition, the factory will give your family a pension every month.
gold."
Wei Shuying blinked, feeling as if she was dreaming.
Qiao Yicheng suddenly felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with this.
Seeing that Wei Shuying and Qiao Yicheng had no reaction, the factory director thought that he was not contagious enough and continued.
"Our factory leadership is also very sad about what happened to Comrade Qiao Zuwang. Please rest assured that the family members have already reported the incident to the police. We believe that the murderer will be caught soon and justice will be given to Comrade Qiao Zuwang."
"I have caused trouble to all the leaders." Wei Shuying came back to her senses and quickly thanked her.
"Comrade Wei Shuying is too polite. This is what we should do."
After the factory director finished speaking, he didn't stay in the hospital for too long. After staying for about ten minutes, he arranged for two workers to accompany him and took him away.
Wei Shuying and her eldest son Qiao Yicheng waited on a chair outside the operating room all night.
Finally, after four hours of rescue, Qiao Zuwang was pushed out of the operating room. Wei Shuying looked at her husband's empty trouser legs below the knees and felt a little sad for a moment.
Qiao Zuwang had not yet worn off the anesthesia and felt no pain. He thought he had survived a catastrophe and actually shed tears of excitement when he saw his wife.
"Shuying, son, I thought I would never see you again."
Qiao Yicheng was a little confused. If he remembered correctly, this was the first time in his life that his father was so kind to him.
However, Qiao Yicheng was no longer a child. He was about to turn sixteen. Not only was he not touched by his father's sudden revelation of true feelings, he actually felt uncomfortable all over.
Wei Shuying was also a little at a loss. Ever since she got married and gave birth to Qiao Yicheng, Qiao Zuwang had revealed her true colors. She had given birth to so many children for him, but she didn't see him giving her any good looks. She had already given up on this man.
"You should have a good rest first, Yichen. Go home and get the toiletries and bedding. I will take care of your dad here for a while. You can take good care of your brothers and sisters at home and don't let them run around. Do you understand?"
Qiao Yicheng nodded and left the ward silently.
Qiao Zuwang also calmed down a bit now, and cursed feebly when he saw this.
"You brat, you're a wolf with white eyes. My father was so seriously injured that he didn't even shed a single tear. Look at the good son you taught him."
Wei Shuying was not aggrieved by Qiao Zuwang's accusation. Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief. The familiar Qiao Zuwang was back.
Perhaps he was too sleepy, so Qiao Zuwang fell asleep after scolding him for a while.
When he woke up again, the anesthetic had worn off, and Qiao Zuwang only felt a sharp pain in his knees.
"How did these quack doctors treat me..."
Qiao Zuwang subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch his calf, but the touch caused him to collapse instantly.
"My legs, where are my legs?"
Qiao Zuwang shouted like crazy. Wei Shuying was fetching hot water. When she heard the shouting in the ward, she rushed over immediately.
"It was you who asked the doctor to amputate my leg, wasn't it?"
Qiao Zuwang picked up a pillow and threw it at Wei Shuying: "You vicious woman, it must be you. You have long disliked me, right?"
"I was so blind that I married a woman like you, a free-spirited woman. You, you are the modern Pan Jinlian, and you plotted to kill your own husband."
Faced with Qiao Zuwang's abuse, Wei Shuying made no excuses and just numbly picked up the pillow that fell on the floor.
The nurse couldn't stand it anymore and shouted to Qiao Zuwang.
"Why are you like this? When you were sent here, your legs were no longer good. If you hadn't had them amputated, you would be dead now. Your wife came over in the middle of the night to take care of you. She didn't sleep a wink all day. Who have you ever seen?
Pan Jinlian is like this, does she still have any conscience?"
Qiao Zuwang is a typical rat who carries a gun and is a bully. He was scolded by the nurse so much that he didn't dare to refute a word. He was mainly afraid of offending the nurse. If he did something tampering with his medicine, his life might be in danger.
Even though he was disabled, Qiao Zuwang still cherished his life. It was better to live than die.
In the next few days, workers continued to come to the hospital to visit Qiao Zuwang. This period also became the pinnacle of Qiao Zuwang's life.
Listening to the workers' words of heroism, Qiao Zuwang felt unprecedentedly satisfied. Even when he was lying down, he would hold his head high and his chest high.
"It would be nice if I could save my leg."
However, the peak of Qiao Zuwang's life was very short-lived. On the fourth day, the team that had been coming to express condolences suddenly disappeared.
Not only that, the doctors and nurses in the hospital also glanced at him with strange eyes.
Qiao Zuwang was very puzzled and could only grab Wei Shuying: "Did something happen?"
Wei Shuying's tone was very cold and she asked lightly.
"Did your injuries really come from fighting with the thief?"
In an instant, Qiao Zuwang was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, almost jumping off the hospital bed.
"Of course it is, otherwise how could I have been injured!" Qiao Zuwang tried to cover up his guilty conscience with a tough attitude.
However, the next second, Wei Shuying's words completely broke Qiao Zuwang's defense.
"The ones who went to steal things from the factory were all caught. They confessed the whole process of committing the crime. The police also sent technical experts to the factory to conduct trace identification."
"The injury on your leg was caused by the aging of the steel rope of the crane and the lifting gear falling from a height. It can only be regarded as a work-related injury."
If you tell a lie a hundred times, it will be regarded as the truth. These days, Qiao Zuwang has enjoyed unprecedented hero treatment, which makes him feel as if he is really a hero.
However, the truth after a lie is exposed is often even more difficult to accept. Qiao Zuwang almost lost his breath and choked to death.
In the end, Wei Shuying called the doctor, and it took a while to save him.
If he is not a hero, he cannot continue to enjoy the treatment of a hero. Soon Qiao Zuwang was pushed from the single ward to the general ward.
The factory also handled the discharge procedures for him half a month later. Qiao Zuwang was so angry that he cursed the factory for unloading mills and killing donkeys.
"If you are really a hero, let alone a month, even if you live there for a lifetime, there will be no ambiguity in the factory. But are you?"
"Not only did the thieves not protect public property when they came, but they also gave them instructions. If someone like you came and the Japanese came, he would be a traitor. Bah!"
The coworker left immediately after saying that, as if looking at Qiao Zuwang one more time would dirty his eyes.
Qiao Zuwang was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. Now that he even had no legs, he could still catch up with others and argue.
On the way home, he lay on the cart with a heavy heart. At first, he could lie still comfortably, but as the cart entered a familiar alley, the neighbors’ pointing fingers made Qiao Zuwang’s already broken heart even more intense.
Broken.
He could only cover his face with a quilt, but those mocking and sarcastic glances were as sharp as knives. He could cover his face but not his heart.
"Here, Yi Cheng helps carry your dad back to the house."
"oh."
Qiao Zuwang felt even more chilled when he heard his eldest son's cold response.
Qiao Qiqi looked curiously at her father, who was covering his head with a quilt, wondering why his father still had legs when he went out last time, but they were gone when he came back.
"Second brother, please don't go out and run around again. Look at our dad, he must have broken his leg just because he went out and ran around." Qiao Qiqi's immature little face was full of fear, and she grabbed Qiao Erqiang with a pair of small hands.
arm.
When Qiao Zuwang heard what his youngest son said outside the house, he almost fell off the bed.
"Get out, get out of here!"
Qiao Erqiang covered his brother's mouth, pulled him aside, and whispered.
"Don't talk nonsense. Our dad's leg was not broken when he went out and ran around, but was broken due to a work-related injury."
........
That night, someone finally came to the factory, but this time it was not the factory director, but Qiao Zuwang's previous leader, the warehouse manager.
"Comrade Wei Shuying, regarding your family's situation, the factory leaders have also held a meeting and decided. Considering that you and your family have no other source of income, you will take over Qiao Zuwang's class from now on. As for the subsidy, there will definitely be no more.
"
Qiao Zuwang said angrily: "Why? You can't just listen to the words of a few thieves, right? Then if I didn't fight with them, how did I get the injuries on my body?"
The warehouse manager said with a straight face: "Qiao Zu, I hope you won't mess around. The investigation results are unanimously determined by the police and the factory. All testimonies and traces of the scene have been archived."
"Let me warn you, for your behavior, being able to determine a work-related injury has already taken into account the actual situation of your family. If you are not satisfied, you can appeal, but when the time comes, you must not think about taking over."
Wei Shuying said calmly: "Boss, we accept this plan, when can I go to work?"
"Well, you can report to the factory tomorrow." The warehouse manager's expression softened.
After seeing off the warehouse manager, Wei Shuying returned to the house to clean up, and Qiao Zuwang yelled angrily.
"Wei Shuying, you are going to rebel, right? Why do you make the decision for me? Let me tell you, I am the head of the family!"
Wei Shuying said nothing and continued to tidy up the house. Seeing this, Qiao Zu became even more angry. He opened the quilt and subconsciously wanted to get out of bed, but suddenly found that his leg was broken and he could not go anywhere.
In an instant, Qiao Zuwang's arrogant arrogance was doused by the ruthless cold water of reality.
"You should try to be cleaner from now on. I have to go to work tomorrow. There are so many children at home to take care of, so I don't have much time to clean up." Wei Shuying always had a calm tone, without any emotional disturbance.
Qiao Zuwang was extremely angry. He had never been treated like this before, but the situation was stronger than others. Now he was not only useless, but also lost his job, and had to rely on Wei Shuying's salary to support him.
Wei Shuying finished cleaning up the house and looked at Qiao Zuwang indifferently when she went out, and suddenly felt that this seemed good.
During the meal, Wei Shuying used two eggs to make egg custard. The children were all greedy when they smelled the tempting aroma of eggs.
"10%, serve a bowl to your dad, and share the rest among you."
"well."
Qiao Yicheng brought the egg custard and rice and moved a chair to the bedside: "Eat it, it will cool down later."
As if grasping a life-saving straw, Qiao Zuwang grabbed his son who was about to leave and said with earnest eyes.
"You go and pick up my shift, and let your mother take care of the second strong ones at home."
Qiao Yicheng coldly shook off Qiao Zuwang's hand and sneered.
"Are you afraid that my mother won't be able to stay at home all day long to help you when she goes to work?"
Being told about the central issue, Qiao Zuwang felt a little embarrassed and said with a dark face: "What are you talking about? Qiqi is still so young. You are the eldest son of the family, it's time to make a contribution to the family."
Hearing this, Qiao Yicheng said sarcastically: "It's really embarrassing. You know that Qiqi is young, but he was even younger when he was just born. My mother was still in confinement at that time. Have you ever taken care of Qiqi for a day?"
"Don't worry, my mother goes to work, and Erqiang and I will take turns going home to cook. You won't starve to death."
After saying that, Qiao Yicheng left the bedroom without looking back. He was completely disappointed with his biological father. Even if he was disabled, he would still only think about himself and never care about others, even his own children.
"Brother."
"Brother, come and eat the egg custard. I've saved it for you. It's delicious."
The scene of his mother sitting at the dining table with his younger siblings, waiting for him to eat, made Qiao Yicheng feel the warmth of the family.
"At least, I still have my mother and my younger brothers and sisters, and that's enough."
After the meal, Qiao Yicheng was full of energy. Wu Guihua originally wanted to comfort him, but found that Qiao Yicheng seemed to be more energetic than before, and it did not look like he had suffered a major change in his family.
"Looks like he's in good condition." Qin Hao stopped what he was doing and smiled at Qiao Yicheng.
Qiao Yicheng gave a rare smile back: "Well, I want to make more money so that my mother, the second best and the third most beautiful lady can live a good life. I also want to go to college..."
