There is Room For Abandoned Women In the 1980s

Chapter 21: Cry when you feel uncomfortable

"Third brother, you go find Director Gu tomorrow. Zhang Hongbin replaced your work quota. Can he return it to you?"

Gao Guilan suddenly slapped her thigh in annoyance. She was only focused on dealing with Zhang Hongbin and forgot to mention this matter.

 How great it is to work in a grain depot! Sew two inner baskets into the sleeves and grab a handful of grain every day, which is enough for one person in a month.

 I get excited just thinking about it, and I have to get the indicators no matter what I say.

 “How can I be embarrassed if I don’t go?”

Zheng Chengbao shook his head. He couldn't turn over and over again. He asked for the quota to be given to Zhang Hongbin in the first place. How could he have the nerve to ask for it back?

“Why not? That was originally given to you. Don’t forget that Director Gu would have drowned long ago without you.”

Seeing that her son was disobedient, Gao Guilan glared and scolded him angrily.

“My dad said that you can’t repay kindness in return. Even if you are a beggar, I will save him if he falls into the river.”

Zheng Chengbao, who has always obeyed his mother, refused to give in on this matter.

Zheng Xinyue looked at the third brother's cheeks that were darkened by the sun. His face was dark and his heart was hot. The third brother really realized that he was a man.

 “Just go if I tell you to go, why is there so much nonsense?”

Gao Guilan angrily went to twist her son's arm, but unfortunately, Zheng Chengbao's arms were full of strong muscles, and the sun-stained arms were stained with sweat, so she couldn't pinch him at all.

“Mom, my third brother is right. You don’t save people for repayment. If you do it deliberately for benefits, you will be looked down upon.”

Zheng Xinyue hurriedly helped her third brother out of the siege. Shouldn’t mom be proud to have such a good son?

“If I had known that Zhang Hongbin was a bastard, I wouldn’t have given him the quota no matter what.”

Gao Guilan slapped the car board angrily, what a great opportunity? Working in a grain depot was envied by many people. After becoming a full-time employee, he could also apply for urban household registration. The more she thought about it, the more she hated Zhang Hongbin, and she was so angry that she cursed.

“Mom, Third Brother, I’m sorry, it’s all because of me that Third Brother gave up the quota to that scumbag.”

Zheng Xinyue apologized to the original owner. It seems that the original owner was selfish. He was deceived by Zhang Hongbin and begged the third brother to give up the quota to Zhang Hongbin.

“It’s because I don’t want to go to work. I’m too constrained. How can I work in the fields? I can still go hunting in the mountains and fish in rivers.”

Zheng Chengbao turned around and smiled honestly at his sister. He didn't want her to feel guilty, and he didn't think there was anything to regret about not going to the Chengliang Depot.

“Yes, it was your third brother who made it happen. Don’t feel bad.”

Gao Guilan saw her daughter apologizing and regretted what she said. Why did she say this at this time? She glanced at her daughter secretly and heard Zhang Hongbin writing a love letter to another woman. How painful was her daughter's heart?

She tentatively asked Zheng Xinyue: "Xinyue, do you feel uncomfortable? Just cry when you feel uncomfortable. It's just me and your third brother, no one is laughing at you."

Zheng Xinyue couldn't help laughing when she saw the cautious look of her pungent mother. She held the car board with both hands, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, and answered in a brisk voice.

"Why should I be sad? Anyone in this world can live without him, and a man like him doesn't deserve my sadness."

These words were very proud. Gao Guilan looked at her daughter's expression carefully and found no tears in her eyes. She finally let go of her worries.

“Yes, it’s hard to find a three-legged toad, but there are plenty of two-legged toads. Wait till Ming Ming finds a better one for you.”

Gao Guilan hugged Zheng Xinyue and spoke impassionedly.

 “Let’s talk about it! I’m still young now and want to stay at home for two more years.”

Zheng Xinyue smiled and really admired her mother's confidence. In this era, divorced women are looked down upon by the world, not to mention that the original owner also has epilepsy. How easy is it to find a good man?
