When Tang Qiuye heard this, she was immediately shocked. She said in surprise,"Didn't Second Brother say that his hardware factory is doing very well? How did it close down?"
"Sigh, what's so good about it? It had been popular for a while in the past few years, but it had not been able to do so in the past two years. The workers spend more time at home than at the factory, and they are only paid the basic salary. All bonuses and subsidies are canceled…A few days ago, the production was officially stopped, and all the workers were laid off…"
Second sister-in-law sighed and said.
In the past few years, it was not yet the peak period for state-owned enterprises and collective enterprises to go bankrupt and lay off workers. However, the burden of public enterprises was heavy, and the drawbacks of rigid mechanisms had gradually emerged. Many state-owned enterprises and collective enterprises were running hard.
Liu Weihong had heard too much about companies going bankrupt and workers being laid off in his previous life. He did not care at all.
"How could this be? Your factory is collectively owned. Why did you stop production just like that?”
Tang Qiuye was a little baffled. She knew very little about these policy matters. They only knew that the government should eat the government's food. Why would they stop production and be laid off?
"Aiya, what does the government care? The factory stopped production and the workers were laid off. It had nothing to do with them. Who cared?”
Second sister-in-law was furious and said angrily.
"Are you still going to get paid if you're laid off?" Tang Qiuye asked anxiously.”
"Aiya, Autumn Leaf, what kind of joke are you making?" Second Sister-in-law said loudly. There's still a salary after being laid off? Who will pay you? I heard that their hardware factory will be sold soon…"
"Then what should we do?" Tang Qiuye asked anxiously.”
Tang Qiushi shook his head with a bitter expression. He had always been honest. A few years ago, when he went to work in this hardware factory, it was Tang Zhi who tried his best to get in. Now that the factory had closed down, he didn't have any other skills. His family's livelihood would immediately become a problem.
Second sister-in-law also had a bitter look on her face. She glared at Tang Qiushi and sighed."Autumn Leaf, you also know that your second brother is such an honest person. Even the three sticks can't beat him up. Other than doing some manual labor in the factory, he can't do anything else. If he returned home to farm, he would starve to death. You have to help your brother…"
Tang Qiuye spread out her hands and said helplessly,"How can I help? I'm not a commissioner, nor am I the chief of the department. I'm just a small employee at the agricultural school. What can I help with?”
When Second Sister-in-law heard this, her face immediately filled with smiles and she immediately said,"Autumn Leaf, as long as you want to help, you'll definitely be able to…um, isn't Wei's father, his uncle, the director of the Agriculture Bureau? He was also the director of the regional agricultural bureau. As long as he's willing to step in, wouldn't it be easy for him to arrange for your brother to be transferred to another unit with good returns?”
Liu Weihong smiled.
When he first saw Tang Qiuye in the corridor, Liu Weihong knew that they would not come to see Tang Qiuye for no reason. Tang Qiushi might have this kind of friendship, but Second Sister-in-law should not mention it. Tang Qiuye herself was just an ordinary employee of the agricultural school. Second Sister-in-law and the others could not ask her for help. They could only come for Tang Qiuye's father-in-law.
Tang Qiuye's expression immediately sank. She said unhappily,""If I ask you to beg him, I won't beg him.”
"Aiya, Autumn Leaf, how can you say that? That's your father-in-law. You're family. What do you mean by begging? Wasn't it natural for a father-in-law to solve some difficulties for his daughter-in-law's family?”
Second Sister-in-law had a sharp tongue and immediately said.
"If you want to acknowledge him, go ahead. I won't admit it. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have married a fool!”
Tang Qiuye was furious.
"Autumn Leaf, isn't that what you're saying? I heard that it was your father who took the initiative to speak to Chief Wang back then. Chief Wang didn't force you, right? You agreed to marry yourself, and they have arranged a job for you. It's not good to say that now…"
As Second Sister-in-law spoke, her eyes were only on Liu Weihong.
This person was really strange. He clearly saw other people's families talking, but he didn't know how to avoid them. It was as if there were screws on his butt and he was stuck to the bed.
Tang Qiuye snorted and said coldly,"Second Sister-in-law, are you envious of this job that guarantees a good harvest? Alright, I'll give you this job. You'll receive the salary from the agricultural school and take care of Wang Xiaowei. I'm going out to work with someone. I have hands and feet. I don't believe I can't support myself.”
Second Sister-in-law was not easy to deal with. She immediately added,"Autumn Leaf, don't say such sulky things. To be honest, I didn't enjoy much happiness when I married into your Tang family. I wake up early and stay up late. What kind of work do I do less at home and in the fields? Now, she couldn't even eat. If I knew this would happen, I would have married a fool…"
As she said that, Second Sister-in-law sniffled and started to sob. Her tears and snot were all over her face. She was very sad.
Tang Qiuye kept a straight face and didn't reply.
Second sister-in-law reached out and pinched Tang Qiushi's body hard, letting out even more sorrowful cries.
Fortunately, it was summer vacation, so there were not many people in the dormitory. Otherwise, with such a commotion, who knew how many people would come to watch the show.
Second Sister-in-law's hand was heavy. Tang Qiushi grimaced from the pinch, but she didn't dare to make a sound. She hissed,"Autumn Leaf…. En, you see…. We went to visit our in-law…. Our in-law said that you haven't been home for a long time, and wanted…wanted to wait for you to go back, to discuss…. with you. Do you think you should go back sometime?”
Tang Qiushi stammered, his forehead covered in sweat.
"No!"
Tang Qiuye said stiffly.
It was obvious that the Old Wang family had a problem with Tang Qiuye. If he was really willing to help, why would he need to discuss it with Tang Qiuye? In the end, it was still a condition. If you, Tang Qiuye, serve my Wang Xiaowei obediently, then perhaps the Wang family will help you with the Tang family's matters. Otherwise, there was no need to talk about it.
"Autumn Leaf, don't be so heartless. A man lives for a breath, but a tree lives for a piece of skin. If it weren't for the sake of being siblings, I, Li Xiaoju, wouldn't have come knocking on this door today. Tang Qiushi is your biological brother, is that true? You're not even willing to help your own brother. Who else do you want to help? Do you want my parents to beg you and kowtow to you?”
Second Sister-in-law was a character. She spoke with a set of words. She moved him with emotion and threatened him with authority. If the Tang Zhi couple really came knocking on her door, Tang Qiuye would be in a difficult position.
"Second Brother, it's not that I don't want to help you, I…"
Tang Qiuye looked at Tang Qiushi, not knowing how to explain. She liked Liu Weihong, but she could not say it out loud. It was a huge uproar. However, she really did not want to go back and beg the Old Wang family. This was not a joke. Tang Qiuye had spoken up for this matter, and Bureau Chief Wang had really helped, so he owed her a favor. Tang Qiuye wasn't the kind of person who would go back and forth. If she wanted the Old Wang family's help, she would smile at them. After she was done helping, she would immediately turn around and leave. Tang Qiuye couldn't do such a thing.
Tang Qiu was not good with words, but she was not stupid. She knew her sister's difficulties and stammered,"Then…if you really find it difficult, then forget it. I…I'll think of another way.”
"You think of a way? What are you thinking of? What can you think of? If you can think of a way, are you still the same as today?”Before Tang Qiushi could finish his sentence, his sister-in-law screamed. She stretched out her sharp finger and almost poked the tip of Tang Qiushi's nose."Let me tell you, Bureau Chief Wang said that there's still a quota for the smelter. Many people are fighting for it. If we're late, it'll be gone…If we really can't go to the smelter, I'll bring Tao Tao back to her mother's house immediately.”
These words seemed to be directed at Tang Qiushi, but in fact, they were directed at Tang Qiuye.
Second sister-in-law knew very well that if Tang Qiuye had to go back and tell Chief Wang about this, no one else would be able to help. Tang Qiuye would never let this go unless she forced Tang Qiushi into a corner.
"Autumn…Autumn Leaf…"
Tang Qiushi immediately softened and said to Tang Qiuye with a sobbing tone. He knew his wife's character. She would do what she said.
Tang Qiuye bit her lips tightly, tears rolling in her eyes. She looked at Liu Weihong, hoping that he would come up with a good idea. She could help her brother, and she didn't have to go back to the Old Wang family to plead for mercy.
Liu Weihong lit a cigarette and took a puff. He said calmly,"Second Brother, isn't it just the quota for the smelting plant? Was it necessary to force his sister to accompany a fool just for this quota?”
Tang Qiushi's face turned red, and her expression was extremely awkward.
Second Sister-in-law couldn't take it anymore and immediately shouted,"You make it sound so easy. Liu…Director Liu, so you're a national staff member and a deputy sect-level leader. You don't have to worry about food and clothing. It's easy for you to say! Please, this is our Tang family's business. Can you not interrupt? Even if you're a leader, you can't interfere in the matters of our Tang family.”
Tang Qiuye was also unhappy. With a straight face, she said coldly,"Second Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? If you continue to cause trouble, I'll ask you to leave!”
Second sister-in-law could yell at her, but she could not talk to Liu Weihong like that. Who do you think you are? Do you think you can point at the man I like and criticize him?
Liu Weihong continued smoking, not caring at all. Before he spoke, he had already expected Second Sister-in-law to be like this.
"Second Sister-in-law, does this mean that if I give you the quota for this smelter, you won't bother Autumn Leaf anymore?”
Second sister-in-law's eyes lit up, but then her face turned stern again. She did not believe that Liu Weihong would be able to get this quota. The smelter was profitable and the salary was high. The people who wanted to go in were so desperate that they wanted to break their heads. Bureau Chief Wang was in a difficult position. Liu Weihong was so young, how could he have the ability?
"Hehe, Director Liu, if you can really get this quota, I, Li Xiaoju, will set up a longevity tablet for you and burn incense for you every day. You can do whatever you want. I promise I won't be a busybody…"
These words were very explicit. It was simply pointing out that Liu Weihong and Tang Qiuye had an affair.
Tang Qiuye's brows immediately shot up and she was about to get angry when Liu Weihong waved his hand and said,""It's just an indicator. Is there a need to do this? Alright, that's it."
