Chapter 163 Rumors
After finding out that nothing was wrong, Hou Jie returned to his parents' home and spent a relaxing and pleasant day there.
His parents knew that he was busy outside, so they didn't ask too much about his work and daily life.
He knew that this lie could not be exposed, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous, so he tried to reduce his time at home and keep a low profile and silence as much as possible.
In the evening, I said goodbye to my parents and hurried back to the courtyard.
The environment here is familiar and friendly, as if it can make me forget the pressure and fatigue of life for a while. I walked into the courtyard, and the oncoming bustle and noise made me feel a little comforted.
Here, I can stroll among the neighbors and observe their daily lives; I can sit in front of the door to bask in the sun and enjoy the leisure; I can also chat with friends, play cards, chess, etc., and use these simple ways to kill time. This lively living atmosphere is the most suitable way to kill time.
Finally, a leisurely afternoon arrived. The sun shone through the gaps in the curtains onto the dining table. Hou Jie and his godmother sat together, enjoying the rare quiet time. While his godmother skillfully manipulated the pots and pans, she began to tell me about a series of interesting things that had happened in the yard recently.
"Chunsheng, you haven't been home these two days, so you really missed some big shows."
The godmother's words flowed like a trickle of water, neither hurried nor slow, but full of the charm of life and infinite storytelling. She raised her eyebrows slightly, with a kind of excitement and anticipation that is unique to a narrator.
When Hou Jie heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, put down his chopsticks, and stared at his godmother intently, eager to uncover the wonderful things hidden behind the daily trivialities.
"Godmother, tell me quickly, what interesting thing happened?"
His eyes sparkled with curiosity, and his voice revealed curiosity and desire for the unknown.
The godmother seemed quite satisfied with Hou Jie's reaction. She snorted and continued with a slight complaint but full of helplessness:
"You don't know, your godfather took Jia Zhang to collect the subsidy, which was really worrying and troublesome. Just two days ago, they went to collect the subsidy together. It was originally a happy thing for everyone, but who would have thought..."
When the godmother said this, her tone was full of helplessness and indignation. She paused for a moment and continued, "Everyone knows that the subsidy is already quite a lot. But Jia Zhangshi, on the other hand, doesn't care about that little money. She is greedy for money and not only complains that the subsidy is too little, but she also makes a scene when she gets there, insisting that the money given is not enough. This matter spread throughout the factory, and your godfather was so embarrassed by her and was very angry."
Hou Jie laughed out loud after hearing this. "Haha, Jia Zhang is still so aggressive? That's her style."
"Godmother, tell me quickly, what's wrong with her?"
The godmother curled her lips, "What else can she do? Just like in the courtyard, sit on the ground and cry, and throw a tantrum! Those leaders have never experienced this before, and she made them feel overwhelmed. There was nothing they could do, so they had to increase her salary by 20 yuan, let Jia Dongxu take over his father's position, and send her away."
Hou Jie nodded. Just as he thought, Jia Zhang would definitely make a scene. It was a pity that he was not there and missed the fun. It was a bit regrettable.
Hou Jie began to analyze
"Godmother, let Jia Zhang make a scene! In the end, it's her family that will suffer the most."
The godmother was a little confused and didn't know why her godson said that.
Hou Jie added
"Godmother! Jia Zhang offended the leader, and her son came to the factory, and it was good. Her family has no background, no money, and it's like crushing an ant to death. Jia Zhang has really screwed her son over."
The godmother thought about it and it made sense. The factory was not her home, so she could just act like a spoiled brat. When she was on someone else's land, she had to accept their discipline.
"Now that you put it that way, it's really hard to explain. Chunsheng, you're really smart."
"But, godmother, godfather is in trouble. Jia Dongxu is not as stupid as his mother. He will definitely keep godfather in check. After all, he has already been accepted as an apprentice! We can't just ignore him!"
Godmother was a little worried.
"Chunsheng, is he as powerful as you say?"
Hou Jie chuckled and stopped explaining. He couldn't explain it either. After all, in this day and age, it was natural for a disciple to be filial to his master. As long as Jia Dongxu was filial and obedient, no one could find fault with him.
"Godmother, don't worry about it. We can't do anything about this matter. Just wait and see! Besides, I'll back you up. What are you afraid of?"
Hou Jie persuaded with a smile. After listening to him, the godmother thought about it carefully and realized that this was the truth. She really could not control her husband's affairs.
"Well, you're right. Besides, you've promised to take care of me in my old age. If I really can't have a child, then I'll rely on you!" said the godmother half-jokingly.
After hearing this, Hou Jie nodded happily.
"No problem, I, Hou Jie, keep my word. I'm just afraid that you won't be close to me by then!" Hou Jie joked.
The two of them often joked and teased each other on a daily basis. This relaxed and happy atmosphere undoubtedly added a layer of sweetness to their relationship. As time went by, their feelings grew deeper.
Nowadays, in the godmother's life ranking, Yi Zhonghai, as her husband, has been reduced to second place in her godmother's heart, which just shows the deep relationship between them.
Time flies, and in this ancient and vibrant city, a series of eye-catching events have taken place in recent years, making ordinary people envious and sighing.
For example, after the staff dormitory of Yongchang Grain Store was built, housing was distributed to each employee.
Due to poor management, the young boss gave all the employee housing to these old employees in order to subsidize them.
The common people in the old city were almost going crazy with envy, and hated themselves for not being a worker at Yongchang, letting these guys get a house for nothing.
Soon after, it was reported that Yongchang Grain Store was blocked by creditors due to poor management and heavy debt. In order to pay off the debts, the young owner of Yongchang Grain Store sold all his property and became a pauper.
In Beijing, this rumor was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
Yongchang Grain Store, a once prosperous business giant known for its honest management and high-quality goods.
Now, it has been caught in a whirlpool of public opinion because of the young boss's unprecedented large-scale investment and reckless actions.
The people talked about it and expressed great concern and confusion about the matter.
An informed source revealed that Yongchang Grain Store decided to spend millions of dollars, not to expand its business, but to build luxurious staff dormitories. This move immediately triggered widespread heated discussions and deep doubts from the public.
