Chapter 42： wave of layoffs

Chapter 42 The wave of layoffs

"If you really think so, then you should understand whether what you said to Zihao is a bit too much. You asked him not to play with Tianyu. The two brothers sleep in the same house, go to the same school, and are members of the same family. Don't you mean to make things difficult for me by saying that?"

Pei Zhiqiang said.

Wan Cuilan frowned and finally said reluctantly:

"Okay, okay, stop nagging. I was impulsive. I really shouldn't scold him today. This kid usually respects me. I may have hurt him by saying something. When he comes back, I will go and talk to him. Apologize and let this go!"

Seeing that Wan Cuilan finally changed her attitude.

Pei Zhiqiang then nodded with relief, "That's good. The family should not do such emotionally hurtful things in the future."

After saying that, Pei Zhiqiang went out. After walking a few steps, he saw the little breast dumpling in the yard, leaning under the orange tree and basking in the warm sun.

Pei Zhiqiang blinked at her,

Pei Tiantian also winked mischievously to show that she received it.

“Your second aunt said she wanted to apologize to Zihao.”

Pei Zhiqiang said with a smile.

“They will definitely reconcile soon!”

Pei Tiantian raised her little face and said.

“Thank you for your clever idea!” Pei Zhiqiang sighed, reaching out and squeezing her little nub.

This is the first time he has told such a lie.

What kind of brick hit Pei Zihao on the head, causing his intelligence to decline, which is why his grades are so poor now.

It’s all nonsense.

Pei Tiantian taught him these.

Pei Tiantian just smiled.

She just passed by Wan Cuilan's house and heard what she said to Pei Zihao.

Pei Tiantian understood that this second aunt had always been resentful towards her eldest cousin.

If two people never get along, there will inevitably be a estrangement in the long run, and the relationship between the first wife and the second wife will inevitably be affected.

Although Pei Zihao is sometimes unreliable, he has always been a good brother and has nothing to say to Pei Tianyu.

So Pei Tiantian thought of a white lie and told it to Pei Zhiqiang and asked him to reveal it to Wan Cuilan.

As long as Wan Cuilan feels a little guilty about Pei Zihao and is willing to take the initiative to reconcile with him, then this matter will be over.

Fortunately, although Wan Cuilan usually likes to be annoying, she is always a sharp-tongued person.

Not long after, Pei Zihao was brought back by Pei Tianyu, his eyes were red.

Wan Cuilan also came over and said sorry to him, saying that she had spoken indiscriminately.

Pei Zihao was so shocked when he heard that Wan Cuilan actually apologized to him that he couldn't believe it, so he had no intention of getting angry anymore.

This little incident passed like this, and by evening the Pei family was the same as before.

It’s just that when Zhou Wanhong and Pei Zhiwen came back on their bicycles, Zhou Wanhong, who always loved to smile, had red eyes and could not squeeze out a smile on his face.

It seems like someone has bullied you.

Pei Tiantian’s eyelids twitched.

Zhou Wanhong rarely lets out her emotions like this. She and Pei Zhiwen are a loving couple and have never blushed.

Then there is only one possibility...

“Sister-in-law, what’s wrong with you? Did you have a fight with your elder brother?”

Wan Cuilan asked hurriedly.

Zhou Wanhong shook her head, "Our factory may collapse, and everyone has received the news."

As soon as these words came out, the Pei family were stunned.

Pei Tiantian sighed in her heart.

Sure enough, the wave of layoffs is coming.

First Zhou Wanhong was laid off, and soon it was Pei Zhiwen's turn.

The Pei family's largest source of income was completely cut off, and the entire family was in trouble.

Pei Zhiwen went into business in order to make money, but was defrauded of all his savings and has been in trouble ever since.

Zhou Wanhong also cried all day long and was depressed.

She absolutely cannot sit back and watch these things happen to her uncle and aunt.

“Why did it suddenly collapse? Isn’t your ceramics factory very profitable?” Pei Zhiqiang asked.

“That was all in the past. The efficiency has been getting worse and worse in the past two years. It won’t be long before all the workers in our factory will be laid off.”

Zhou Wanhong forced a smile, "So now I am taking advantage of the weekend to look around the town to see if there is any suitable work."

“My eldest brother is the director of a textile factory. Can’t I arrange for you to go?”

Wan Cuilan asked.

Pei Zhiwen didn’t let the two of them into the factory, so why didn’t he even let his own wife in?

"Second brother and sister, it's not as easy as you said. The market is not good now. Our factory has collapsed. Zhiwen's factory is also laying off employees. How can we still put people in it?"

Zhou Wanhong said lightly.

Wan Cuilan said with a stern look on her face, "That's right, there's really nothing we can do about it."

Pei Zhiqiang glared at her and signaled her to stop talking.

Because Zhou Wanhong was going to be laid off, the whole family gathered around Zhou Wanhong to comfort her.

Wang Ruizhen said: "It's okay, let's find a job slowly, don't be in a hurry."

Zhou Wanhong nodded with a wry smile.

Her monthly salary is more than 200 yuan. If this money is gone after she is laid off, and she has to rely on Pei Zhiwen's salary, the financial pressure on the entire family will be great.

Zhou Wanhong had no problem with the hardship herself, but when she thought about how many children at home were growing older, she would feel uncomfortable if they also cut back on food and clothing.

So no matter what, she has to find another job.

…

Pei Tiantian went out early in the morning carrying a small floral bag.

She heard a lot of people talking on the way to Gu Rong's house.

“Sure enough, a wild boy without motherly education is a bad, sneaky second-rate person.”

“Isn’t that right? Zheng Tianfu beat him all night, and his screams could be heard in half the village.”

“Such a shameful thing has never happened in our village. People from the next village came to our door. Tsk!”

“I have to tell my boy not to play with him, what if he steals things again!”

“You’re right! I stole needles when I was a kid, and stole gold when I grew up. If I’m so bold now, I’m afraid I’ll be a prisoner in the labor camp in the future.”

Pei Tiantian listened to a few words and then realized that they were discussing Zheng Dahu.

The story that Zheng Dahu stole money from the children in the next village and was personally approached by people from the next village asking for money has spread throughout the village.

The villagers were scolding Zheng Dahu one after another.

Pei Tiantian was in an extremely happy mood.

This Zheng Dahu's character is really bad, he should be shouted at and beaten by everyone!

When I arrived at the door of Gu Rong's house, I didn't expect to see Gu Rong standing at the door with an expressionless face, seeming to be listening to the curses of the villagers in the village.

And there was a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.

Gu Rong went to collect firewood yesterday and met Xie Jiagui and his party, and after hearing what they said.

That's when I realized that it was Zheng Dahu who stole other people's money and was found by this group of people.

Gu Rong remembered that Zheng Dahu had once accused him of stealing bacon from his house.

His heart was filled with uncontrollable anger.

He had already guessed that Zheng Dahu was just a thief and wanted to catch a thief. He must have eaten bacon secretly and was afraid of being scolded by Zheng Tianfu, so he framed it on himself.
