Chapter 177: People’s Hearts Turn Cold
But this time...
Among people, why is family affection not as important as interest relationship?
Hu Qing was a little sad.
Hu Qing's mother told her not to feel wronged because family ties are no match for interests.
It's rare that my uncle has opened his mouth to ask for this. It would be good for the Hu family if he could give them some good things.
The fabric of the cotton-padded jacket is very thick, and you can tell at a glance that it will be very warm to wear. There are also several pieces of clothing in the pockets of pants and sweaters.
Gu Wan was very satisfied. "How much is it in total?"
Hu Qing said, "Give me fifty yuan in total, and the rest will be my thank you for cooking for me."
Gu Wan shook her head, "This is a lot of clothes, and this cotton coat is worth it. Comrade Hu, it's okay if you tell me the actual price."
There are several pieces of clothing here, all winter clothes, and no tickets are required. Gu Wan knows that if he wants to have a long-term relationship with someone, he shouldn't think about taking advantage of them.
Unexpectedly, Hu Qing shook his head and said, "It's really just that much money. These clothes are all defective."
So Gu Wan didn't refuse anymore and quickly counted out fifty yuan in cash and gave it to Hu Qing.
It's enough that both of them know the truth. It doesn't matter whether it's a defective product or not. The key is that Hu Qing took it out of the factory under this name.
This was also her network resource, so Gu Wan accepted the favor and was thinking about making something delicious to treat this young comrade next time.
It happened to be the weekend when she had a day off, so Gu Wan went back. Of course, she also brought two sets of cotton coats and trousers with her.
Compared to before when Gu Wan worked in the commune and went home every day, this time it was several days later, so as soon as she got home, everyone in the old Gu family surrounded her and asked about her well-being.
Qiao Yuemei took her daughter's hand and looked her over from head to toe. "You've lost weight."
Shi Guixiang said, "That's right, Wanwan, there should be someone to take care of you."
Gu Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She worked in a state-owned restaurant and ate and drank a lot of oily food every day, but she still felt that she had gained weight.
This should be called, there is a kind of thinness that your grandma and mother think you are thin.
Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from outside the crowd: "Is this clothing, or a winter coat?"
It turned out that the Shulin brothers, who had just returned from vacation today, saw that they could not squeeze into the center of the family's love and care for their sister, so they saw a big bag next to them and opened it to take a look.
Oh my God, they are all thick cotton-padded clothes and pants that feel very warm to the touch. The key is, there are a lot of them.
Since they had already been seen, Gu Wan simply took them out openly, "There are six sets of cotton clothes and pants in total, one for grandpa and grandma, one for my parents, and two sets for my eldest brother and sister-in-law. Do you have any objections?"
Then Gu Wan turned to Li Huihui and said, "Sister-in-law, this dress looks quite big. Can you see if you can alter it and make an extra set for the child?"
Be it the eldest, second, or third Gu, they would certainly have no objection to such a distribution plan. Gu Zhiqiang and Qiao Yuemei are Gu Wan's biological parents, so it is only right that they get a set.
The two old people haven't had new clothes for many years, especially the old man's cotton trousers, the old cotton in them has rotted into several pieces, and his legs are very cold when he wears them in winter.
Especially for the two elderly people, they had suffered a lot in the past, and it was even more difficult as they got older. This winter, their cold legs were causing severe pain.
It was also because she was incompetent as a son. Now the family still had to rely on Wanwan to improve their lives. She would only feel happy if she could bring back cotton clothes for her parents and the brothers. She was still calculating in her mind whether she could make up for it in some way and treat Wanwan better.
As for Li Huihui, there is no need to say enough words of gratitude. From the child's food rations and daily necessities to the cotton clothes and pants now, isn't it all thanks to the child's aunt?
Anyway, in her heart, Gu Wan is the most important person in the world, more reliable than her husband Gu Shan.
Gu Shan: Thank you. I know Wanwan is good too. There’s no need to belittle your man like this, right?
Because Gu Shu and Gu Lin had already returned and stayed overnight, they rushed back to work early the next morning, which just happened to be different from Gu Wan's time.
Gu Wan simply asked the two brothers to ride their bicycles there the next day, and she could take a ox cart to the county town the next afternoon.
The desire for the bicycle temporarily overcame the indiscriminate love for their sister, and the next day the two brothers rode their bicycles to the county farm implement factory with great pride.
As it turned out, enemies met on a narrow road. When they arrived at the factory gate, Gu Lin had already jumped off the bike and Gu Shu was pushing the bicycle forward.
But he met Du Wei, and the enemies were extremely jealous of each other when they met.
Gu Lin glanced at Du Wei and deliberately said loudly: "Brother, doesn't Wanwan work in a state-owned restaurant? Let's go over after get off work and she will make us something delicious."
Gu Shu knew that his brother was deliberately showing off in front of Du Wei, so he nodded in agreement: "We don't have to go there often, just go there occasionally to eat braised pork."
The smile on Gu Lin's face became even brighter, making Du Wei want to punch him.
It's all their fault. Now her brother-in-law wants to divorce her.
Now their whole family would be laughed at whenever they went out, and he was even scolded by his parents. It was all the fault of these two country bumpkins.
The more Du Wei thought about it, the angrier he got. He threw his bicycle aside and rushed towards the two brothers.
In fact, Gu Shu had been keeping an eye on all directions and keeping an eye on all directions, guarding against this man. When he saw him rushing over, he quickly pulled his brother to the side to avoid him.
However, Du Wei missed his target and failed to brake in time, so he fell to the ground.
Gu Lin realized belatedly that this brat actually wanted to fight with him again after a disagreement, so he ran up to him and kicked him in anger.
"A gentleman uses words, a villain uses hands. You shameless person, do you still want to hit me?"
Du Wei fell to the ground and scraped his hands. He was already feeling very aggrieved, and when he heard Gu Lin's words, he cursed back: "You are shameless, and your whole family is shameless."
"Bah," Gu Lin was so angry that smoke came out of his head. He spat directly at the other person: "Your sister is a slut. Your family members are not good people."
The other workers who entered the farm tool factory also heard this and reacted. You know, the arrest of Deputy Director Zhu and Du Huijuan in the past few days was the biggest news in the factory.
Du Wei is a typical bully. In the past, his sister, brother-in-law and even the deputy factory director protected him. He was a tyrant in the factory, bullying men and women.
In the past few days, reality has begun to teach him a lesson. Without the protection of those people above, life is actually quite difficult.
At this moment, seeing the scrutinizing and contemptuous looks from the people around him, he couldn't help himself and actually rode his bicycle out of the factory again.
He left, carrying his grievances, anger and resentment with him, forgetting to ask for leave and just ran away...
It's just that the Shu Lin brothers are ignorant and don't understand. If Qi Bin or Gu Wan were there, they could have already started to plan:
That little fat boy is obviously a fool. He probably won't be able to survive in the factory without someone to protect him. How can he make room for a regular worker in the farm tool factory?
