"Who told you that? Hu Zi?" Lin Ya asked.
"If only he had told me." Li Xiaowei said angrily, "It's not that you don't know about his character. You can tolerate everything and you will suffer. He never told me about his work. If I had known what he was like in the company, I would have asked him to resign. Hu Zi is too honest and kind, so the boss will bully him without fear!"
Hu Zi rarely talked to us about work, but I believe what Li Xiaowei said.
Because Hu Zi and I have known each other for a long time since we were kids. I know exactly what kind of person he is. If it wasn't for his tough spirit and tenacity, few people would have been as persistent as him!
The boss would naturally like an employee like him who is dependable and capable but does not complain.
"Then how did you know?" Lin Ya asked again.
"Listen to my other classmate." Li Xiaowei said, "Boss Xiaohu's girlfriend is a classmate of mine. She said it behind my back and slandered Xiaohu, saying that he was not worth it at all. It was about to spread in our circle of friends, and I heard it from another classmate. Xiaohu didn't tell me. If she hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known."
"What does she say about the tiger? What do you think of me? I can't raise my head in front of everyone." Li Xiaowei looked at me excitedly and said, "You said, if Hu Zi works hard and the boss treats him well, will I stupidly ask him to resign?"
Sure enough, I really can't just listen to one person's one-sidedness. If Li Xiaowei hadn't said this, I would have thought she was unreasonable.
It seems that she still loves Hu Zi, but Hu Zi didn't say anything about it yesterday.
"I won't hurt him if I ask him to resign!" Li Xiaowei said angrily, "I don't believe that with Hu Zi's ability, I can't find a job. I'm not going anywhere with this black-hearted boss. Hmph, he was so nice when he was treating, but he was so two-faced behind his back. He and my classmate are a perfect match!"
It was understandable that Li Xiaowei was angry. After all, she also felt sorry for Hu Zi.
"There's no need to be angry with that bitch." Lin Ya patted Li Xiaowei on the back and said, "That kind of person will be punished sooner or later."
Lin Ya's words made Li Xiaowei quite satisfied, but she still raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't they all say that wang ba lives for a thousand years, and evil people live the longest."
I smiled speechless and said to Li Xiaowei, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll talk to Hu Zi when we get back. Let's talk about something else, shall we?"
"You say?" Li Xiaowei changed his attitude once again, as if you had any questions.
"Xiao Wei, you've been with Hu Zi for so many years. You should know that Hu Zi's family is ordinary, and he has never asked for a penny from his family since he was 18 years old, so even if you get married, he will never let his family pay a penny. You probably don't understand this. After all, you two are a little short of money now, and it's only right for the family to support some of it."
"I know. But now it's not a financial problem. My family has helped pay for it. I know Hu Zi is filial, but can't we borrow money from his parents now? We'll pay them back when we have the money. I understand that Hu Zi doesn't want his parents. I won't say anything, but can I borrow some?" Li Xiaowei also seemed to have a stomach full of resentment, and speaking of it, his face was full of grievances.
I sighed. I'm afraid this can't be said about Hu Zi. I know his character too well. Although he was usually very gentle and had suffered a lot when dealing with others, when it came to the bottom line, he was especially stubborn and no one could persuade him.
At this moment, Lin Ya said, "Xiao Wei, listen to me. Of all our friends, Hu Zi and I have the most similar family. We had a very hard time when we were kids, so I can understand his filial piety, and I can understand Hu Zi's feelings. Don't force him. Since he didn't ask for another penny from his family when he was an adult, he wouldn't ask for another penny from his family in this lifetime. He wouldn't say a word even if god crushed him. If you really don't have enough money, I can help you. Tell me how much you need."
Li Xiaowei listened to Lin Ya and remained silent for a moment.
Lin Ya added, "I can help you with the wedding and the hotel. I can get you the best deal. I bought the house and the car. Don't worry about it anymore. Furniture and electrical appliances should be about the same, right? As for the rest, it shouldn't cost much."
Listening to Lin Ya's words, I really felt that she was right to come today. If I were myself, I wouldn't have had this effect at all. In the end, it would be even worse if I didn't discuss it with Li Xiaowei.
As the food gradually came to the table, Lin Ya said, "Don't worry. Let's talk while we eat."
In fact, I don't need to say anything at all. I feel a little redundant with lin ya around. Li Xiaowei's mood has eased a lot. I believe that if she and Hu Zi sit down again and have a good talk, there shouldn't be any problems.
With Lin Ya, things went smoother than I thought. Li Xiaowei promised that when Hu Zi looked for her again, she would talk to Hu Zi calmly.
After dinner, I took advantage of the hot iron and said to let Hu Zi go back tonight, but Li Xiaowei still said angrily, "Since she likes to live with you, then let him live with you."
I smiled bitterly. You guys don't live in a good home. You occupy my little house. I have nowhere to sleep!
However, Li Xiaowei's tone of voice was not very angry, and when I went back to talk to Hu Zi, let him say soft words, the two of them had a good communication, the matter was over.
I still don't believe they can argue until they're not married!
Then Lin Ya sent Li Xiaowei back, and I went back to my place alone.
Hu Zi and Old Gao were home, and they asked me where I was.
I told Hu Zi about the meeting with Li Xiaowei and reported everything at the table. Hu Zi was silent after listening.
I looked at Hu Zi and asked, "Hu Zi, do you think your boss is really mean and doesn't treat you like a person?"
If Li Xiaowei's words were true, I would support Hu Zi's resignation!
Hu Zi smiled wryly and replied, "How many bosses can be bosses if they don't have a heart? Can they be bosses if they don't?"
Old Gao raised an eyebrow and said listlessly, "Hey, Hu Zi, you're a little embarrassed."
"Do you have a clean conscience?" Hu Zi smiled.
I continued, "Hu Zi, this is a society of benefits. Yes, the boss can't be with us. But there has to be a limit to everything. They are really as overboard as Li Xiaowei said, and you can't keep swallowing your anger. Should we fight or should we fight!"
Hu Zi nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know in my heart."
I didn't say anything more, and Hu Zi wasn't stupid. Finally, I said to Hu Zi, "The rest is really useless. I can only leave it to you."
Hu Zi nodded, feeling much less agitated than yesterday.
I thought about it and said, "Actually, I think you should go back tonight and have a good chat with xiao wei."
Hu Zi was silent for a moment, then a glint of light welled up in his eyes. He stood up and said to me, "What you said makes sense. Then I'll go back!"
"Just talk it over and stop arguing." I'm really afraid that they won't get along again.
"I know."
Hu Zi became a little excited and couldn't wait to leave.
I was the only one left in the house with Old Gao, who was not in a good mood. I rarely saw Old Gao like this. He was usually heartless. I asked, "How do you feel? Have you woken up yet?"
Old Gao replied weakly, "I woke up early."
I sat on the sofa and casually said to Old Gao, "Old Gao, Wang Mengmeng went to the pond today."
Old Gao asked in surprise, "Why did she go to the pond?"
"It's for you." I said, "I told her about your fight with your parents."
Old Gao was startled and stood up, "Why did you tell Wang Mengmeng?"
I think Old Gao probably wanted to hide this from Wang Mengmeng so that Wang Mengmeng wouldn't know that his parents didn't like her, but it couldn't be hidden. Today, when I mentioned it to Wang Mengmeng, she guessed the reason.
Let her advance and retreat with you. At this point, you two have to stay focused."
Old Gao was a little upset, but he didn't say much, just couldn't help but sigh a few times.
I asked Old Gao again, "There were a lot of things you didn't tell me yesterday. What did your parents tell you? Tell me again."
Old Gao was not in the mood and said to me, "Let's not talk about it. I'll go out first."
"What?"
"Look for mengmeng!" Old Gao couldn't wait to leave.
For a moment, I was the only one left in the room. I lay on the sofa and rested. I rubbed my sore eyes and felt tired.
Hey, it's all Old Gao and Hu Zi.
I couldn't help but worry about the two brothers again. Can Hu Zi and Li Xiaowei make up? What would Old Gao do if he found Wang Mengmeng?
At this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated.
I know, it's a text message.
I thought it was a mobile debt collection message, but I didn't expect it to be a message from Ding Ge!
When I saw that message, the goosebumps on my body erupted again in an instant, and I looked at the ugly, tattered phone in disbelief.
We haven't contacted each other since we returned from the island city. She... Why did she send me a message all of a sudden?
Except for that night when Ding Ge called the wrong number and sent me a message to explain, she hardly sent me a message.
I can't help but wonder, what is this situation?
Just like that, a message from Ding Ge once again disturbed my peace, and my heart was like a calm water surface stirred by a wave.
