Chapter 166 This month's living expenses are here
"It's really strange. The Jia family and the Jiang family are next to each other. One family is rising steadily and their lives are getting more and more prosperous, while the other family is getting more and more miserable. Look at how miserable the Jia family has become."
The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.
As Jia Zhang listened to these people's discussions, she became angrier and angrier.
I wanted to rush out and scold them.
But when she heard the last sentence, she was attracted.
Yes.
The Jia family's life was getting worse and worse, but Jiang Bo's life was getting better and better.
Jia Zhang couldn't help but become interested.
……
Deshengmen, Hutong.
San'er poured Jia Dongxu a glass of liquor.
"Dongxu, I knew you would come to me again."
"You know, you're just too cautious. Is there any need to hesitate about this?"
"What a good deal! Look, now your life problems have been solved."
"It's great that we two brothers can get together often."
Jia Dongxu picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
"I didn't expect Director Yang to be so heartless."
"No room for maneuver at all."
"San'er, to be honest with you, the factory has officially issued a notice about my situation."
"My mother went to the factory today, but the factory manager showed no mercy at all. He even called my master over as well."
Saner said:
"Your master? I remember you said that your master lives in the same courtyard as you?"
Jia Dongxu nodded.
"My master used to be the boss of our courtyard, but he was tricked by Jiang Bo later on. He is no longer the boss now."
San'er snorted:
"This Jiang Bo is really a nobody!"
"If I run into him someday, I'll teach him a lesson!"
Jia Dongxu snorted coldly:
"He's a police officer now. He was in the newspaper a few days ago. He's very proud of himself."
"Everyone in our courtyard also flatters him, especially Xu Damao. The two of them...hiccups...are in cahoots with each other. I have disliked them for a long time."
He raised his glass, clinked it against San'er's glass, and drank it in another gulp.
"I'll just keep repeating this to you."
"Everyone in our yard flatters the powerful and bullies the weak. Now when they see Jiang Bo, they all look down on him, but when they see me, they all avoid me."
"As if they were afraid that I would ask them for money."
"I bother!"
"Who am I, Jia Dongxu? Can I borrow money from them? I want to show them that I can still earn money even if I lose my job at the steel mill!"
San'er said quickly:
"Yes, everyone knows that you are a capable person, Dongxu."
Jia Dongxu put his arm around his shoulders and said:
"San'er, you are a good person."
"You are the only one who is willing to help me at this time. I will remember your kindness."
Saner smiled:
"Dongxu, what you said is too polite."
"We are friends, right?"
"I can't just watch you fall into despair and not help you."
As he spoke, he took out a few sheets of white paper from his pocket and spread them out in front of Jia Dongxu:
"Right, let's get back to the topic."
"Have you ever seen this kind of parts?"
Jia Dongxu took the white paper and looked carefully at the parts drawn on it.
"Some impression."
“However, this was not made in our workshop.”
"It's in another workshop."
San'er took a bite of peanuts, chewed them, and asked casually:
"Can you find it?"
Jia Dongxu thought for a moment:
"It shouldn't be a big problem."
"There's someone in their workshop who is quite familiar with me."
San'er picked up his glass, clinked it with Jia Dongxu's and said:
"Dongxu, you are a capable person."
"I knew I had found the right person."
Jia Dongxu was in a good mood after hearing what he said:
“Do your best, give it your all!”
San'er patted Jia Dongxu on the chest, then took out a handful of banknotes from his arms.
"Take these and use them first."
Jia Dongxu quickly gave way and said:
"How can this be so embarrassing?"
"It hasn't been done yet. Besides, you've already treated me to two meals. I can't take the money."
Saner said:
"It's my advance to you."
"You have to spend money to find connections, right?"
Seeing that Jia Dongxu was still in a daze, he simply stuffed the money into his hand:
"Hey, take it, take it, we're going to follow each other."
Jia Dongxu pinched it in his hand and made a rough estimate in his mind.
The paper bills that San'er gave him were worth about fifty or sixty yuan.
Jia Dongxu exclaimed in his heart, "Wow!" He thought that this guy is worthy of being a driver, and his move is really generous.
He thought to himself that he was really lucky.
If I hadn't met this kid, I really don't know what I would do in the future.
Maybe he really has to go to the grain store to carry heavy bags.
"San'er, I'll toast you a glass."
Jia Dongxu patted his chest:
"It's all in the wine."
San'er picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp:
"Dongxu, I'm waiting for your good news!"
……
In the courtyard.
It was already early summer and it was getting darker.
Every family had finished dinner and it was just getting dark.
There is no toilet in this courtyard, so if you want to use the toilet, you have to go to the public toilet outside.
Jiang Bo came back from the toilet and was walking into the yard when he saw a staggering figure in front of him.
It turned out to be Jia Dongxu.
He reeked of alcohol and walked unsteadily, not noticing Jiang Bo behind him at all.
Jiang Bo felt strange.
He also heard the news that Jia Dongxu was fired.
At this time, does he still have the leisure to drink?
but.
Jiang Bo was just puzzled for a moment and didn't think too much about it.
He also doesn't like to meddle in the Jia family's affairs.
Jia Dongxu staggered into his house.
Jia Zhang came forward and said:
"Dongxu, why did you come back just now?"
"Have you got a meal yet?"
Jia Dongxu threw his bag on the table:
"I've eaten, burp..."
As he said this, he burped.
Qin Huairu took the coat he took off and said with a frown:
"you've been drinking?"
Jia Dongxu nodded.
Qin Huairu couldn't help but complain:
"What's the situation at home now? Why are you still going out to drink?"
Jia Zhang didn't like it:
"What a situation! The money was all earned by my son."
"Is it your turn to give orders?"
"You eat and drink my son's food, and you dare to give orders here."
Qin Huairu showed no sign of weakness:
"Do I eat and drink for free at the Jia family?"
"I wash and sew all day long. Do I have a minute to spare?"
Seeing that Qin Huairu dared to talk back, Jia Zhang started scolding her again.
Qin Huairu couldn't bear it any longer and responded with a few sharp remarks.
Jia Zhang pointed at Qin Huairu and said to Jia Dongxu:
"Look, look."
"Dongxu, you're just standing here, and she dares to speak to your mother like that."
"You little bitch, did you become distracted after seeing Dongxu lose his job?"
Jia Dongxu said impatiently:
"All right!"
"Stop arguing!"
These two days, the house was shrouded in an atmosphere of despair.
Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were both in a bad mood and would quarrel at any time.
Jia Dongxu was extremely annoyed.
He pulled out a stack of bills from his pocket and slapped them on the table.
"Here's the living allowance for this month!"
