Chapter 16

Zheng Xianyi and Cai Yuan also heard it from others. How could they have imagined that they would be dragged to see the factory director just for saying it casually?

It’s not them who sent the message, why should we look for them?

The important thing is that they also gossiped about the factory manager…

The two didn’t want to go, but Accountant Sun didn’t allow it. Her husband had recently been thinking about divorcing her, and the two had even had a fight over the matter. She was already full of resentment and had no place to vent it, and these two people just happened to run into her trap.

Watching the two people being dragged away by Accountant Sun, Xu Ning felt quite regretful. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still a piece of meat. Poor her, she didn’t catch anything and even got vegetable soup on her body.

Oh~

There was no more rice in the lunch box in front of him. He Beian put the lunch box away and picked it up, looking at He Wanjiao, “Are you full?”

He Wanjiao nodded. She wasn’t quite full, but she could hold it in.

“Come and wash the lunch box.” He Beian took the lunch box and turned to leave. Someone was talking to him, but he seemed not to hear and ignored everyone.

It is also possible that you really can’t hear it.

He Wanjiao stood up, holding the lunch box and ran to Xu Ning, “Sister-in-law, let’s go~”

The smile on her little round face was particularly bright, and there was a different look flashing in her big eyes. My sister-in-law is so awesome!

Those two bad women always liked to say bad things about her brother, and she had encountered them many times. They also liked to ask her in person which ear her brother couldn’t hear in. Every time she told her brother, he would tell her not to pay attention to them.

Because of this, He Wanjiao seldom comes to the cafeteria to eat.

Xu Ning touched the top of her head. The two men came over with familiar movements. He Wanjiao had eaten alone before and must have been bullied many times.

This girl brought her to the cafeteria for a purpose that was not pure~

He didn’t think of asking her to help him vent his anger. He probably wanted everyone in the factory to know that He Beian was married.

It seems that the old bachelor He Beian has been laughed at a lot.

“Let’s go wash the lunch boxes.”

The people around had already dispersed. Xu Ning still remembered that she had said she would wash the lunch box three times, but the lunch box was taken away by He Beian, so she had to go to the kitchen to get the lunch box first.

When she and He Wanjiao walked into the kitchen, He Beian was already wiping the water from the washed lunch box.

He Wanjiao took the lunch box and went under the faucet to wash it. There was a row of faucets outside the cafeteria, where the employees usually washed dishes.

Although they didn’t say it, He Beian knew in his heart that the source of the conflict just now must be him.

He knew those two female comrades, who worked in the same workshop as Guan Fenfen. They often slandered him behind his back and spread rumors about him.

No matter what, she was upset because she had suffered so much that she messed up the clothes she had just bought. He Beian felt a little guilty, so he lowered his voice and spoke softly, “How much did you pay for this dress? I’ll compensate you after get off work tonight.”

The money she borrowed was hers, and the compensation he paid was what he should pay.

Xu Ning raised her hand to rub her earlobe, which was a little itchy. “Just speak nicely. I didn’t ask you to pay. If you don’t want to pay, then don’t pay. Why are you trying to scare me with your weird words?”

As long as there is some distance between them, she isn’t that timid, right?

Sarcastic? He Beian seldom speaks to people like this. He looks fierce and because of his hearing problems he speaks in a louder voice unconsciously. He even lowered the volume on purpose just now.

He spoke in a nice voice, but Xu Ning said he was being sarcastic!

“I didn’t scare you. I’ll pay you back when I get home tonight.” He Beian said it again in his normal voice and tone, and then he told her: “Don’t come to the cafeteria to eat in the future, or go back to eat.”

What happened today was the first time, but not the last. She is so timid, it’s better for her not to do it.

“Oh, okay.” Xu Ning didn’t hear what he said next. The only thing in her mind was the idiom “windfall”.

Just now she was feeling bad for the money she didn’t get, but now He Beian said he would compensate her for the clothes.

This shirt costs 10.8 yuan, just give him 10 yuan.

There was still 18.5 yuan left from the money borrowed from He Beian to buy clothes. Hu Xianglan gave him 5 yuan as change of address, plus 2.35 yuan from her own pocket, making a total of 25.85 yuan.

Add the ten dollars to be deposited tonight, that comes to thirty-five dollars and eighty-five cents.

Perhaps this amount of money is not even as much as a month’s salary for a worker at a machinery factory, but for Xu Ning, a poor guy who wanted to save up a start-up fund, this was already a huge sum of money.

There are always more solutions than problems. I’m already thirty-five, so how far can forty be?

He Wanjiao came over after washing the lunch box before she had time to say anything, and He Beian ordered: “Take Xu Ning home, don’t take her around.”

He saw Jiaojiao’s little thoughts, but he couldn’t bear to teach her a lesson, so he had to warn her indirectly.

“Okay.” Feeling the warning in He Beian’s voice, He Wanjiao reluctantly agreed.

She also wanted to take her sister-in-law to the riverside, where it would be crowded and lively at night.

Afraid that He Wanjiao might pretend to obey but actually disobey, He Beian thought about it and felt a little uneasy, “Wait a moment, I’ll go back with you.”

Xu Ning had no objection. The sooner He Beian returned home, the sooner she would receive compensation.

But He Wanjiao didn’t dare to object.

After explaining things to the others, He Beian went to the small room behind the kitchen to change his work clothes and came out quickly.

The kitchen staff have worked with He Beian for a long time and they all know his character well. They never take the gossip circulating in the factory seriously and they are too lazy to pay attention when they hear others talk about it.

However, they couldn’t pretend they didn’t see what was happening right before their eyes. In order to send his wife home, He Beian actually had to leave early!

This guy got the marriage certificate quietly, and suddenly a wife appeared. Everyone thought he had no feelings for her, but it turned out that he actually loved her very much.

Seeing He Beian leaving the kitchen with his wife and sister, the remaining employees gathered together and chatted in a low voice. This was something new.

He Beian walked in front with big steps, while Xu Ning and He Wanjiao walked behind him.

Now in He Wanjiao’s eyes, Xu Ning is not just an ordinary sister-in-law, but the most beloved sister-in-law. She held Xu Ning’s arm affectionately and whispered to her about the nonsense of those people in the factory.

“Sister-in-law, don’t believe what they say. My brother must have been framed.” Afraid that He Beian would hear, He Wanjiao spoke in a low voice, “My brother is a soldier and has a very high level of ideological awareness. How could he hit someone, especially a female comrade?”

She didn’t know the details. Her brother didn’t tell her or her mother about these things. They only found out about it from hearing the nonsense from the people in the factory.

After I found out, I asked him, but he wouldn’t tell me.

But she just knew that her brother was not that kind of person.

The things that the lesbian said were not written in the script, but Xu Ning felt that beating a woman was unlikely. In the script, the original owner cheated on him and got pregnant and gave birth to a child, but he didn’t touch her at all.

She didn’t care about such a big thing, and she really couldn’t think of any deep hatred that was worthy of He Beian taking action against a certain woman.

“Do you know which lesbian he beat up?” Xu Ning wanted to find out if this person existed in the script.

Speaking of this He Wanjiao, she became even more angry. “Her name is Guan Fenfen, and she is also an employee of the machinery factory. Mom went to her house to find her before, wanting to find out what happened. If it was really my brother who did something wrong, our family can apologize and compensate.

My mother even said that even if their family wanted to call the police, she would definitely let my brother cooperate. As a result, their family didn’t even let me in and almost pushed my mother down. ”

She looked obviously guilty. If she was really beaten by her brother, it’s not like her family would deny it.

As a result, Guan Fenfen neither called the police nor clarified the matter, and just pretended to be pitiful every time someone asked her about it.

Xu Ning searched in his mind but couldn’t find this person; he wasn’t in the script. The plot in the script is just the tip of the iceberg of this world, and the characters’ personalities vary greatly.

In order to continue living in this world from now on, Xu Ning decided to forget the plot in the script as soon as possible, but she didn’t want to follow it.

“Didn’t my mother-in-law look for her later?” After a brief time together, Xu Ning felt that Hu Xianglan was not the type of person who would allow her son to be slandered.

It is obvious that He Beian’s difficulty in finding a wife is also related to those rumors. This is too much for Hu Xianglan, who is looking forward to her son getting married and having children.

He Wanjiao’s eyes widened, and there was only one meaning in her eyes: How did you know?

“My mother went to the factory to look for her later and blocked her at the door of her house. But after going there a few times, she stopped going there.”

Xu Ning nodded. It was obvious that Hu Xianglan also knew what had happened, but she did not tell He Wanjiao.

What is it that a mother would rather keep to herself and not tell her son about it even if it makes it difficult for him to find a wife?

Could it really be the family that He Bei hit?

Looking up at the tall figure walking in front of them, they realized that in just a short while, He Beian had left them behind.

He wouldn’t really hit a woman, would he?

He Wanjiao saw that her sister-in-law was looking at her brother’s back and didn’t say anything, so she assured her firmly: “Sister-in-law, I promise that my brother is a good man, and he will never hit a woman.”

Xu Ning looked down at the little girl, and nodded perfunctorily in response to her expectant and trusting gaze.

The filter of her biological sister is so strong that Xu Ning can only believe half of her assurances.

First of all, he wouldn’t hit someone for no reason, right?
