Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

Li Huaide has been in a high position for many years. The deterrent power of his every move frightens everyone into silence. For a moment, the whole atmosphere was extremely silent.

Looking around and seeing that the situation was under control, Li Huaide nodded with satisfaction: "No matter who is right or wrong in the matter of Jia Dongxu, since it has already happened, all that remains to be done is to accept it calmly. The pension that should be given will not be less than a penny. I promise you this."

"As for Jia Dongxu's widow, the factory will do its best to take care of her. If the steel mill doesn't care, I, Li Huaide, will pay out of my own pocket to ensure that Comrade Jia Dongxu's children are healthy and will never let you down. By the way, where are Jia Dongxu's wife and children?"

Hearing the greeting, Sha Zhu hurriedly called out Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu, who was mixed in the crowd, heard the shouting, glanced at Li Weijun, and after getting a positive answer, she hugged Xiao Huaihua and moved forward.

Xu Damao, who was leading Bang Geng and Xiao Dang, pushed the two children out swiftly.

Banggeng and Xiaodang, with snot bubbles running down their noses and dirty faces, were still in a daze. They just hid behind Qin Huairu, holding onto their mother's clothes and cowering timidly.

"Director Li, I am Qin Huairu, the wife of Jia Dongxu. I am sorry to trouble you to take care of my husband's affairs. After Dongxu passed away, we are an orphan and a widow with no one to rely on. The only one we can count on is you, the leader. You must uphold justice for us."

Looking at Qin Huairu who walked out quietly from the crowd, with bright eyes, white teeth, fair skin, and even tears in her eyes, I felt pity for her.

Li Huaide was stunned for a moment. He had heard before that Jia Dongxu married a beautiful country girl, who was so rare and stunning.

At that time, he didn't take it seriously. In Li Huaide's opinion, a wild boar couldn't chew fine bran. How pretty could a farm girl born in a village be, even if she was beautiful?

Their hands were rougher than stones, and they never expected that Jia Dongxu would actually marry a beautiful woman and live happily with her.

It's such a pity that it was ruined by this country bumpkin Jia Dongxu. It's really a pity.

Looking at Li Huaide swallowing his saliva in front of him, Li Weijun, who was joining in the fun in the crowd, felt particularly unhappy.

This old fox was greedy for money and lustful. Even Liu Lan, who worked in the cafeteria's kitchen, was taken down by Li Huaide using all means possible.

Now that he has met the graceful, plump, fair-skinned and beautiful Qin Huairu, his mind must be buzzing with plans.

The fact was just as Li Weijun expected. Li Huaide was stunned for a moment, swallowed his saliva, and coughed solemnly: "Well, don't worry about Jia Dongxu's pension. I promise you won't be wronged. But if you don't have a livelihood, your family will probably have difficulties. So, since Comrade Jia Dongxu's son is still young, you can choose one of you adults to do this job. As long as you come to the steel mill every day to work, you will get the same salary as Jia Dongxu."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jia Zhang, who had been crying and making a lot of noise, suddenly had a bright look in her eyes and gently poked Qin Huairu with her elbow.

He signaled to his daughter-in-law not to miss this good opportunity. You know, these days, in a large factory like a steel mill with tens of thousands of employees, there are so many people trying their best to get in every year.

"But, we women have never done this kind of work. I'm afraid I'll let down the factory's good intentions."

Qin Huairu looked at Li Huaide, who had a serious face. Having never experienced such a thing before, she was somewhat undecided.

Li Weijun, who squeezed in front of him during the gap, said at the right time: "Director Li is really thoughtful. I think this suggestion is good. Jia Dongxu was injured on the job. He shed blood and sweat for our factory. Now that he is gone, his family cannot just stand by and watch."

At this point, Li Weijun glanced at Yi Zhonghai, who was avoiding his gaze, and waved his hand to persuade him.

"Sister Qin, this is Director Li's good intention, so don't refuse it. Although locksmithing is a technical job, practice makes perfect. As long as you study hard and use your brain more, and have an old man to help you, you may become a locksmith with better skills than Brother Dongxu."

Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and patted his chest: "Li Weijun is right. I am Master Dongxu. I feel bad about this. Don't worry about this, wife Dongxu. It's easy to get started as a fitter. As for the skills, you can hone them slowly."

Seeing that Li Weijun and others also strongly supported it, Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment and then nodded lightly.

After receiving a satisfactory reply, Li Huaide was not stingy with the remaining compensation.

It was more than twenty yuan more than the normal pension. All the expenses for Jia Dongxu's funeral were paid by the steel rolling mill, even the cemetery was taken into consideration.

Due to the special nature of Jia Dongxu's case, Qin Huairu simply took out the work clothes that Jia Dongxu wore most often from his locker.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took their ignorant child and followed many neighbors back to the courtyard crying.

During this time, Qin Huairu asked Li Weijun in confusion: "Weijun, why did Deputy Director Li let a woman like me do locksmith work?"

Li Weijun didn't care and yawned: "When did Li Huaide mention you by name? He said that since the Jia family is an adult and your mother-in-law is idle at home, it would be a good idea for her to learn a skill at the steel mill."

"Ah? You mean my mother-in-law works as a fitter in a steel mill. At this age, I'm afraid?"

"Why not old enough? Your mother-in-law is only fifty years old, in her prime, and she should be making contributions to the construction of the steel mill. If she doesn't go, are you going to work as a fitter while holding little Sophora japonica and feeding her baby?"

Li Weijun rolled his eyes, thinking that Qin Huairu was really stubborn.

Jia Zhang is not an idler or lazy person. It is a good thing for her to work as a fitter in a steel mill and support herself.

Qin Huairu glanced at her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang. She no longer looked as arrogant and spiteful as before.

As soon as she returned to the house, she hugged Jia Dongxu's usual work clothes and burst into tears.

Although she is thick-skinned and has a black heart, likes to take advantage of others, act unreasonable, and even instigate Banggeng to steal things, her worldly values ​​are corrupted and she is lazy and gluttonous.

But even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Jia Dongxu was treated with great kindness from the bottom of his heart since he was a child.

Jia Dongxu was weak and sickly, and his family had no money. Jia Zhang heard that there was a secret remedy somewhere, so she carried him on her back to a temple on the mountain every day to find an old Taoist priest to treat him. She went through the cold and hot seasons and even took the trouble to collect herbs and cook them to nourish his body.

Jia Dongxu once injured his eyes. Every morning, it was extremely difficult for him to open his eyes. A thick layer of scabs formed on his eyes, making his vision blurry and painful whenever he opened his eyes.

Jia Zhang closed the door and licked the scar on his eye with her tongue. As time went by, Jia Dongxu couldn't even open his eyes.

Finally I had to take him to the hospital and see an ophthalmologist to cure him.
