Chapter 7 I'm sick

Li Zhiguo had no choice but to leave, but he went to the office building and consulted the factory manager.

"Director Tang, I have a serious stomach problem. I'm afraid it will affect my work."

He came here just to test the waters and make himself familiar.

"Master Li, you have to relax. No one in the factory will be left behind. Besides, it's free to see a doctor."

What can Director Tang do? He can't exploit the workers.

"Okay! I'll stick with it then."

Li Zhiguo left after a short while. Now the status of a worker is really good, with a guaranteed income regardless of drought or flood.

As soon as he entered the workshop, he heard his fellow workers talking about him, and he was one of the protagonists.

"Hey, I didn't expect Li Zhiguo to be such a ruthless person. He stole Jia Dongxu's blind date away."

"This is a steal. Look at Jia Dongxu's eyes. He must have cried all night last night."

"Jia Dongxu is such a coward. He can even let the beauty fly away. If it were me... Hey, Master Li, you're here."

When this person saw Li Zhiguo coming, although he was not afraid, he didn't want to gossip in front of him.

"Well, I had a stomachache and went to the infirmary."

Li Zhiguo pretended to be sick again. I believe that soon everyone in the factory would know that he had stomach problems.

Come to the workstation, pick up the tools...

Suddenly he felt someone was looking at him. When he looked up, Jia Dongxu was staring at him with resentment.

Li Zhiguo smiled, the good days were still to come.

……

In the courtyard!

After Li Zhiguo went to work, Qin Huairu cleaned the house inside and out.

"A sin!"

"This is not marrying a wife, it's finding a servant."

The aunt who was not working in the courtyard was always paying attention to Qin Huairu.

When it was time for lunch, Second Aunt pretended to visit.

I saw there was only a steamed bun and some leftover cabbage on the table, and Qin Huairu was pouring boiling water.

"Qin Huairu, is this what you're eating for lunch?"

The second aunt was shocked. She thought it was wrong to treat people like this.

"You are the second aunt, right? I have a small appetite, so this is enough for me."

Qin Huairu wiped the sweat from her forehead, picked up a steamed bread, and smiled.

"Oh, this Li Zhiguo is a bad person. How much does he pay for your household expenses every month?"

Second Aunt just came to inquire.

"Three dollars."

"A sin!"

The second aunt shook her head and looked at the room. It was fine not to have a wedding banquet, but she couldn't just get married without any preparations.

As a result, there was nothing new in the house, and the new bride was only given a steamed bun.

"Qin Huairu, go to the yard this afternoon and chat with the aunties."

The second aunt recognized Qin Huairu's character, but her brain just didn't work well.

"Yeah! I'll take down the curtains and wash them this afternoon, so I'll have some free time."

Qin Huairu is very satisfied with her current life.

"Ugh!"

The second aunt sighed and left, and as soon as she went out, she gossiped about Qin Huairu's situation.

“It’s a sin.”

"I never thought that Qin Huairu would be so hardworking and willing to work so hard."

"You didn't see that my hands were frozen red. Who would wash the curtains in the middle of winter?"

"Li Zhiguo only gives Qin Huairu three yuan a month for household expenses. Qin Huairu's hard days are still to come."

The aunties were chatting about gossip and didn't notice when Jia Zhang was standing next to them.

After hearing these words, Jia Zhang felt like her head was about to explode.

If I had known Qin Huairu was so hardworking and willing to work hard, I should have taken action earlier.

Qin Huairu was busy until three in the afternoon before she took a break and put on the clothes she had worn for the previous blind date.

This turned her into a country girl again, but she won unanimous praise from the aunties in the courtyard.

Qin Huairu's greatest advantage is that she can win the sympathy of others, which silently highlights Li Zhiguo's immorality.

"Qin Huairu, take a rest. Don't get sick from overwork in this cold winter." The old lady held Qin Huairu's red, frozen hand, showing her real concern.

"You are a great lady, thank you."

Qin Huairu can already match most of the people in the hospital.

"Oh! What a good girl."

"Qin Huairu, Li Zhiguo abused you, you have to resist, understand?"

"That's right, we can't let the masters make all the decisions in this family."

The aunties taught Qin Huairu how to survive.

"No, Brother Li is very good to me."

Qin Huairu smiled sweetly.

This made the aunts sigh again.

"Bah, a brainless country girl, you will only live a hard life in the future."

Jia Zhang was speaking in a sarcastic tone beside them.

An old lady in the courtyard couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu is already a member of our courtyard."

"That's right. This is also your Jia family's fault. You didn't keep a close eye on him, so that kid Li Zhiguo succeeded."

The third aunt followed her husband and learned to be calculating. She couldn't help but ask, "When did Li Zhiguo intercept you?"

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "It's not a snitch. Brother Li and I are attracted to each other. We went on a blind date that day. After dinner, I went to the bathroom outside and ran into Brother Li at the door."

"hiss!"

The middle-aged ladies gasped, this was blatant robbery.

"And then you left with him. You are so shameless."

Jia Zhang couldn't help but want to hear gossip.

"We are attracted to each other, and I love him."

Qin Huairu stopped talking about the details, otherwise it would expose the family fortune left by her grandfather.

"Oh my god, Li Zhiguo really cut in."

Jia Zhang beat her chest and stamped her feet. It was not that her Dongxu was incompetent, but that the enemy was too shameless.

"Qin Huairu, can your parents agree to this?"

Xu's mother was also asking, as she also wanted to find a wife for her son Xu Damao in the future.

"My parents are very satisfied with Li Zhiguo."

When Qin Huairu thought of the envy of the villagers, a happy smile appeared on her face.

"This Li Zhiguo is really good at lying." The aunties were all alert.

It only cost three dollars for the bride price, which is unheard of.

In the evening, Li Zhiguo had a bicycle, so he left as soon as the bell rang. As a result, he returned to the factory earlier than anyone else.

"Uncle, you are fiddling with your flowers and plants again."

Li Zhiguo greeted them as soon as he entered the yard. Now that he has a wife, he still has to put in some superficial effort.

Yan Bugui looked at Li Zhiguo with a complicated look. This kid had taught him a lesson.

"Li Zhiguo, wow, what did you buy again?"

Yan Bugui looked at the bag hanging on the handlebar of his bicycle and wanted to make some calculations.

"Nothing, just Chinese medicine. The doctor said my stomach is not feeling well. I'm leaving now."

Li Zhiguo didn't even plan to have a relationship with Qin Huairu, let alone other people in the hospital.

"You have a bad stomach? You must be kidding!"

Yan Bugui obviously didn't believe it, but that didn't stop him from observing Li Zhiguo more.

"Huairu!"

Li Zhiguo shouted in front of the house.

"Hey, I'm back."

Qin Huairu trotted out of the kitchen, wearing an apron, looking like a young wife.

Li Zhiguo felt that there was someone watching him nearby, so he deliberately said in a loud voice: "I bought corn flour. You have to eat more in the future so that you can have strength to work."

"Well, Brother Li, you are so nice to me."

Qin Huairu took the bag and found it very heavy.

This caused the aunts who were observing nearby to be hit hard again.

Li Zhiguo is taking advantage of the fact that the country folk are easy to deceive.
