Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 311 Try to appease her and get the money back.

The finance office was quiet, and the others looked at Lao Zhang with great surprise.

She doesn't know Wei Xia, so why is she speaking up for her?
Director Mei didn't bother to ask why, and just scolded, "Don't talk like that without knowing what's going on. The production tasks are so tight and heavy. If everyone goes to study, who will do the work? Besides, this is a family matter. Why are you interfering?"

After saying that, he slammed the door and left the finance office in a huff.

Meanwhile, Lu Qiaoge had already sent Grey Pigeon and Little Cangcang to Wangjiang Shoe Factory to gather information.

She and Sister Qiao took rice, flour, and cooking oil into Wei Xia's house and then handed her one hundred yuan.

Perhaps it was an innate fear of Jiang Chusheng that made Wei Xia hesitate, and she didn't even dare to reach out to take the money.

Lu Qiaoge recalled the occasional flashes of malice in Jiang Chusheng's eyes.

She said directly to Aunt Han, "Aunt Han, you can be a witness for us. Let's keep the money at the Xiangyang Subdistrict Office for now, and we'll deal with it after everything is settled."

Officer Liu was annoyed by her lack of ambition, but there was nothing he could do. The four children needed their mother, so he could only comfort Wei Xia: "Don't be afraid. Jiang Chusheng won't dare to do anything to you. Besides, if he really dares to lay a hand on you, just go to the neighborhood office and find me, and I'll lock him up."

Aunt Han said, "I'm home almost every day, and I'll come out to check if there's any noise."

The timid little girl Qiqi suddenly reached out and grabbed Wei Xia's hand, mustering up her courage to say, "Mom, my brother and sister and I will protect you."

The youngest boy, with his big, innocent eyes like a fawn, hugged Wei Xia's leg and said in a childish voice, "Mommy, Mommy, don't be angry. Dou Dou will be good and won't hit you, Mommy won't hit you!"

Wei Xia suddenly burst into tears.

These days she takes her anger out on her four children, scolding and hitting them at the drop of a hat, and she can't even stand her favorite youngest son.

She is not a good mother!

But her eldest daughter said she would protect her.

No one in the courtyard spoke; they watched silently as she vented her emotions.

I also watched as she held all four children in her arms.

As long as she still loves her children, this family will not fall apart.

Although she has many problems, there are four children here, none of whom are adults, the oldest being only ten years old, and especially three girls. It's impossible to rely on Jiang Chusheng and Du Wanqing, and even the neighborhood committee can't handle every little detail.

Therefore, Wei Xia, the biological mother, is the key to this family and must be saved.

For someone with Wei Xia's personality, this level of progress is already quite remarkable.

Wei Xia wiped away her tears and said, "Give me the money. It's for the children, and it's only right that I take it."

Aunt Han held Wei Xia's hand with satisfaction and said to her, "Look, the three cadres from the subdistrict office have been running around for you all day. They still need to figure out your work issues. You really need to stand up for yourself, otherwise you will have let down the cadres' efforts."

After they left Wei Xia's house, Lu Qiaoge was still a little uneasy on the way. She was not worried that Jiang Chusheng would commit a crime, but that he would ruin the day's hard work by playing the emotional card, and she was even more worried about the countless troubles that would follow.

But it's okay, her little cuties can help.

They didn't say who they would send, they just told Hua Hua.

Hua Hua is very clever. Although she is often spoiled and arrogant, she can handle this matter well with the help of the other mice.

After getting off work that evening, Jiang Chusheng, with a gloomy expression, originally wanted to go find Wei Xia, but then he thought of the 100 yuan he had taken out that day, and also of Wanqing's relatives at the Wangjiang Shoe Factory.

He needed to go home first and discuss it with Wanqing.

Du Wanqing left work carrying her small handbag.

The mid-heeled leather shoes made a clicking sound when you walked. People who wore leather shoes in this era took great care of them; some even had sturdy metal inserts added to the heels. This was partly to protect the soles, and partly to prevent the clicking sound when walking on concrete.

This also means that the person was wearing leather shoes, since cloth shoes can't be fitted with soles.

Du Wanqing deliberately walked slowly so that people would know she was wearing leather shoes.

She walked down the corridor and entered her home.

Several older women started chirping crickets behind them.

"A third party who breaks up someone else's family, I don't know what she's so smug about all day long."

"She's so proud of her husband; he takes care of all the housework, from laundry to cooking."

"Wei Xia is pitiful, raising four children with no one to lend a hand. It's so tough for her!"

"Jiang Chusheng is a bastard. He doesn't raise his own children but is quite enthusiastic about raising other people's children."

"Sigh, we just can't understand what they're thinking."

"..."

Jiang Chusheng had prepared the meal. The boy Du Wanqing had brought was doing his homework. When Du Wanqing came into the room, Jiang Chusheng quickly told her about the 100 yuan and the Xiangyang Subdistrict Office.

Du Wanqing was startled. The workshop director of the shoe factory was not a relative of hers; he was a man who had once pursued her.

She was just complaining casually, never expecting him to actually do it.

Then, remembering the hundred yuan she was forced to hand over, she couldn't help but get angry. Pointing at Jiang Chusheng, she said, "Are you stupid? Why did you give the money to the street office on the spot? Why didn't you tell those cadres that this was a private matter and that you and Wei Xia could handle it privately? Then they wouldn't care."

Jiang Chusheng's face was somewhat grim: "The director was in the office at the time, and several street office cadres were being aggressive, especially that Lu Qiaoge, who reported it to the police and went to court. What could I do? Also, think of a way, we still need to return the money to Director Mei tomorrow."

He had savings, which he kept secret from Wei Xia.

He had about 300 yuan, and then borrowed another 200 yuan. The Du family then asked someone to find connections and arranged for Wanqing to work in the propaganda department.

But as a result, I didn't have much money left.

Jiang Chusheng felt a headache coming on. He had received his salary, but he still had to give half to Wei Xia, and now he was owed another 100 yuan.

Du Wanqing was furious and embarrassed: "You...you just won't give it to me, what can they do but steal it? Besides, as long as Wei Xia doesn't say anything, they're just meddling in other people's business."

Jiang Chusheng's face darkened: "What if Wei Xia doesn't agree?"

Du Wanqing gritted her teeth: "Then you should coax her. Doesn't she like you? The other day when you told her to die, she seemed to not want to live anymore."

Jiang Chu said angrily, "I told you before, you shouldn't have touched her job. If she doesn't have a job, she won't have money. If she can't survive, who else will she turn to if not me?"

He must have been out of his mind. Why did he agree to let Du Wanqing do something so stupid?

Du Wanqing felt a little guilty; she was just saying it casually...

"They're going to investigate the shoe factory, you should tell your relative right away," Jiang Chusheng said impatiently.

Du Wanqing frowned: "It's so late at night, how can I go? Let's go tomorrow."

He then added, "The people at the neighborhood office are all slow workers, it won't be this quick. Chu Sheng, you should go find Wei Xia now, coax her a bit, and get the money back."
