Chapter 24 weightlessness

The old man Wu Yushan cried quietly. The old man was squatting on the apron at the entrance of the pigsty in the west corner of the courtyard wall, with his hands resting on his gray-haired head, tears dripping down the green-faced apron under his crotch. The old man Yushan only seized a good opportunity to cry bitterly today.The wife went to her sister's house, and the son and daughter-in-law also went out. He could cry comfortably, letting the bitter water that had accumulated in his throat for many days flow out smoothly.Thinking of his neighbors to the east and west on the west side of the short wall, he restrained himself from howling, lest they gloat.

The old man was in too much pain. The tears gushing out of his eyes mixed with the same continuous flow of snot and the mucus from the corners of his mouth. He couldn't wipe it off and wipe it clean, making his wrinkled face very dirty with mucus. It dripped from his chin and dripped onto the cotton-padded jacket on his chest, making it wet and mushy, and he no longer cared about it. Two big white pigs that were about to come out of the trough twisted their heavy bodies and staggered in the pen. From time to time, they raised their heads and looked at their owners, grunting in their noses.Bungy pigs also understand human nature. He grew them from one-foot-long fur cubs into such two giants, and they have feelings.But they cannot be spoken after all!

The husband of his wife's sister, his "bearer", was arrested by the Public Security Bureau! Handcuffs!A pair of blue and clank steel guys, put on the shoulders of the shoulders, the cold light is cold!How could the pair of thin and tender wrists that carried the burden be able to resist the hoops of that steel guy?I heard that there are steel spikes like saw thorns in the steel. If the wearer twists it a little, the saw thorns will be more tightly buckled into the flesh! The old man Yushan raised his old eyes blurred with tears, and saw the second-floor attic standing high in the small courtyard.The doors and windows painted in sky blue, and the sky-blue steel rod fence also looked at him mockingly.This new-style building towering high above the low crop yard houses on both sides makes the neighbors envious and makes him feel proud. What a beautiful building?Staring mockingly at him now.

He suddenly had a sudden change in his heart, and a very vicious scheming came into being. He hoped that the attic would collapse suddenly and crush him to death, so that he would never suffer again! Tiaodan's surname is Zheng, his nickname is Broken Dog, and his official name is Jianguo. He is from Zhengsi Village along Xiaohexiayan.He and he married the eldest girl and the second girl of Zhang Laowu in Zhangjiabao on the north bank of the Xiaohe River, and they became a pair of "carrying burdens". The two sisters are only one year apart. They are about the same in size, handsome in appearance, almost the same in fat and thin. At first glance, they look like a pair of twins.Take a closer look?The younger sister is more colorful than the older sister.In comparison, Wu Yushan prefers the boss he married.He has a feeling, a feeling that is difficult to explain clearly, that the boss is more scheming and more reliable when he lives at home.Although the second girl's water color is thicker, it seems that her temper is too strong to be touched.

Xu is that the two sisters are similar in age and do not distinguish each other by appearance, so a situation of disobeying each other has formed.The eldest girl can spin a handful of fine threads and weave fine cloth, while the second girl's woven fabrics and fine threads are by no means inferior to her elder sister's.The two sisters are competitive, and they are not convinced by each other. They have lost the general affection between sisters who give way to the younger, and the younger respects the older.This delicate relationship, along with the two sisters getting married one after the other, extended to the relationship between Wu Yushan and Zheng Suigou, two men and two families.

Wu Yushan's family is well-off, and he has no worries about food and clothing; Zheng Suigou's family is also well-off.Unexpectedly, one year after the marriage, Broken Dog's second brother was arrested and sold the land to pay the money, avoiding disaster, but lost the land.Misfortunes never come singly, the mother died suddenly, and a well-to-do family suddenly declined into a poor man who had to worry about three meals a day.The old father was powerless to save him, so he separated the three brothers and went on his own way, so as not to suffer from the suffering of the young man again.

Apart from being heavily in debt, Zheng Suigou didn't get any valuable family property. He worked as an apprentice in a shoe shop in Xi'an, learning the craft of wiping beanbags. He just had no income.The second girl often came to look for her sister with a small pocket when she couldn't open the pot.The eldest girl sympathizes with her younger sister, and she often gives alms for one liter of rice and three liters of noodles.As time went by, I became a little bored. When I put rice noodles into my sister's open pocket, I couldn't help but taunt: "The days are getting longer, when will I ask someone to give you money?" He poured out the rice in his pocket, shook his hands and walked away. Since then, he never crossed the threshold of his sister's house.

Wu Yushan said: "Look at it, my sister and brother-in-law have been offended now. Since I donate to others, I don't have to speak harsh words, and I can still lose my favor." But the wife didn't regret it: "When I was in my mother's house, I didn't even call me sister, so brave! Now I recognize me as a sister! I ate other people's rice noodles and didn't appreciate it. Instead, I should bow down to her. To apologize?" The two sisters were so desperate. Wu Yushan was actually quite happy in his heart, no longer worried about someone coming to ask for rice.She is her own sister, if she intervenes, the wife will definitely not be happy, but it would be good for the wife to interrupt the relationship by herself.To be honest, the "carrying burden" family is really a poor pit that can't be filled...

The stars shifted, and the world changed drastically.Within two years, the whole country was liberated.Zheng Suigou turned from a small apprentice to a public official, wearing a blue cloth suit with four pockets, and appeared in the gatehouse of the old man's house on New Year's Day, and when he and Wu Yushan called each other face to face, Wu Yushan suddenly I feel that my face is dull and half short.The father-in-law no longer ridiculed him as "the dog is long" or "the dog is short", and he stopped calling him "the second child".Wu Yushan soon understood that Zheng Suigou had taken down an official named Zheng Jianguo.

Zheng Jianguo was proud of the spring breeze, and he poured out a series of new terms, which made the old man and the old farmer Wu Yushan seem to understand.He said that the newly established municipal government had transferred him as a cadre. Naturally, the second girl was even more elated, spoke coquettishly, and kept her hands in her trouser pockets. She kept saying some new terms that were difficult for rural women to understand, which surprised the old mother and sister.Naturally, the most embarrassing thing was the older girl. The younger sister seemed to have suffocated her energy long ago, and was waiting for this day to seek revenge. The corners of her eyes always glanced at her elder sister with disdain, making her more uncomfortable the more she looked at her.

When we broke up in the evening, the conflict finally became public.The second girl unhappily took out a stack of bills from her trouser pocket, put them on the table in front of her parents, and said to her sister and brother-in-law: "When I was suffering two years ago, I ate two buckets of three liters of noodles and eight liters of millet from my sister's house. Remember, at present, the discount is paid off in one go, and I have also relieved the knot in my heart." Wu Yushan was stunned, and waved his hands again and again, his face flushed with embarrassment, as if he had been slapped in the face: "What kind of words are you talking about..." The wife's face was pale, and she couldn't bear it any longer. She grabbed the ticket and threw it out, and the room was full of flying RMB: "Your man has become an official, and you have become an official's wife. I am not jealous! Don't show off in front of me!" Shaobao! My two buckets, three liters of white flour, and eight liters of millet should all be fed to the dog! I gave it to a dog who is not familiar with it..." The two sisters scolded face to face. Since then, the sisters have cut off contact.Talking about family history when meeting people, Wu Yushan and his wife, no one should mention the burden and his younger sister. He only heard of it sporadically. Going up, as for how many grades he will be promoted to, he can't figure it out.He was already sticky about the official titles of the city government, and couldn't tell the difference between high and low.He and his wife already have two sons and one daughter. Although it is not easy, they still maintain a well-off state.He is extremely loyal and peaceful, and he is a middle peasant, so he cannot be a cadre in the village.With his diligence and loyalty, he is also popular.Regardless of who is a cadre in Wu Village, he is the most reliable member of the commune, and he never makes trouble. People call him "Old Good Yushan", and he readily accepts it, regardless of whether it is praise or derogation.Some extremely technical ways of living, such as sowing seeds, such as cultivating rice seedlings, must belong to him.There are also some dirty and tiring tasks that the cadres assign Wu Yushan to the poor and lower-middle peasants who are not strong and vocal.He doesn't pick or pick, he does it, and he earns a lot of work points when he does it.Regardless of the highly technical farm work or the dirty work that everyone hates, they are all high-scoring points for the production team, and no one else can express their opinions. His life is a mess.In this way, the couple held their breath and never asked their sister and brother-in-law for help. Things change, stars change, rivers change course, things change—nothing stays the same forever. Wu Yushan was awakened by the knock on the door, and when he heard it again, there was indeed someone knocking on the door. With a movement of his foot, he first woke up his wife who was sleeping on the other side of the kang.The old couple were fully dressed and got off the kang one after another. In order to prevent accidents, Yushan picked up a wooden stick, walked out of the back room, and walked lightly to the street door. The wife asked first: "Who is it?" A strange and trembling voice came from outside the door: "It's me, sister." "Who are you?" Wu Yushan was puzzled. "I'm Jianguo, brother-in-law—" My wife opened the door latch with a "crash". The old couple hugged their brother-in-law across the yard and into the back room.It was under the electric light that Wu Yushan and his wife were really surprised, and they couldn't help exclaiming "Oh my god" in unison.Brother-in-law Zheng Jianguo, with blood on his face, a limping leg, disheveled hair, described as haggard, dirty clothes, and sloppy, is really three parts like a human and seven parts like a ghost. "I'm in trouble." The brother-in-law sat down, gulped down a bowl of water, and then said, "If I can't escape today, they will beat me to death!" There is no need to ask any more questions, the old couple already know 70% to 80% of the time, there are rebellions in the town and outside, the brother-in-law is an official in the provincial capital, and most of them cannot escape, the wife has washed his hands and made face, and he washes the face of the brother-in-law . The brother-in-law hid in the small room where firewood was stored in the backyard of his house. He was worried, fully aware of the dire consequences of such an act, but he couldn't throw his brother-in-law out to those who wanted to deal with him.His wife seemed to have forgotten the past, and tried his best to use fine flour to recuperate his sadly damaged body.Worries are inevitable, but when those people with red armbands on their arms chased down the gate of Wu Yushan by car, he showed an extraordinary courage. "Zheng Jianguo, my burden? Yes, there is this rich relative." Wu Yushan said angrily, and cursed, "When he was an official or eunuch, he never stepped on my threshold! I still don't know him How thick is the waist, how big is the official! People look down on our poor relatives, and we don’t want to be honored by him. He has become a counter-revolutionary this time, what has it to do with me? Go to the village and ask, who in my village has seen my family have a relationship with Zheng Jianguo?" Zheng Jianguo escaped this hurdle by climbing out of the sweet potato cellar under the pile of firewood.He stayed and was then transferred to the home of their eldest daughter by his brother-in-law and sister. The disaster restored the relationship between sisters and bearers who had been separated for nearly 20 years. It is true that sisterhood can be seen in adversity. It seemed to be compensation for the disaster suffered by my brother-in-law. At first, the official was restored to his position, and then he was promoted again, in front of some kind of bureau chief. As soon as Zheng Jianguo took office, he recruited Wu Yushan's youngest son as an official national worker. Later, he fell in love with a daughter-in-law in the factory. The contradiction between the son's division of the family and the dispute over the family property made the villagers envious. After two years of self-cultivation and self-collection, Wu Yushan is really like a fish in water, saving tons of wheat in the hoard, and a small deposit in the booklet.There are three major events in the life of a farmer: marrying a wife, building a house and buying a field. After liberation, only the first two remain.Wu Yushan is a real farmer, and he will not detach himself from the big things he thinks about day and night.However, although the land was allocated to him for cultivation, it was stipulated that trading was not allowed.The daughter is married, and the eldest son has also married a wife. His only wish is to support three tile-roofed houses in the small courtyard that has been idle for many years.On the issue of building a new house, his son has no objection with him, and even seems more impatient than him.They just disagree on the form of the house. He wants to build a wooden and tile house, and he can build a plank building. The upstairs can store grain and store sundries, which is more practical.The son insisted on building a bungalow with slabs, which was clean and beautiful, and could kill rats.The father agreed with his son very graciously, because the house was built for the son after all. His son works as a contract worker in a factory in Xi'an, and Wu Yushan personally solicits construction materials.He found a cement prefabricated factory jointly operated by three households in a neighboring village, and the factory manager in his thirties met him. "How much is the floor?" "It depends on what size you use." Wu Yushan pinched the foundation of his own house, and the factory manager converted it into a metric meter size for him, which was just right for a floor slab with a length of 3.3 meters. "What's the price for a three-meter-three floor?" "Thirty dollars." Wu Yushan gasped and nestled in his stomach, what a price!He took out the smoke pot, lit the fire, and began to calculate. One room cost twelve yuan, each one was one foot eight inches wide, and only two feet one foot six inches deep. It was too narrow to tie two small shops.With fifteen floor slabs, the house has a depth of two feet and four feet, which is just enough to divide two spacious small rooms.Fifteen floors for one room, forty-five yuan for three rooms, and 1,350 yuan, this account is easy to calculate. "Can this price still be 'active'?" Wu Yushan asked. "You can! Why can't you!" The 30-year-old factory manager raised his head, leaned on one leg, held a cigarette in his hand, and said carelessly, "Who put the world to death?" "What about 'activities'?" Wu Yushan inquired. "No one is sure!" The factory manager dusted off the cigarette ash, "It's sold for thirty yuan! It's also sold for twenty yuan! It's still sold for ten yuan and eight yuan! Sometimes you don't want to give away a penny..." Wu Yushan stared at the middle-aged farmer with vigilance. He was dressed in a rustic attire, his hair was longer than that of the people in the city, and he spoke in a nonchalant manner. Was he joking about the old man?Is it because he can't afford the ticket to buy the floor?He hated the farmer very much in his heart, and he didn't know how the factory was doing, but how much money could it make?Seeing that you are so angry that you don't know what to say! "Really!" The factory manager probably saw his doubts, and said with certainty: "If your old man can buy me a ton of cheap steel, I will give you one piece at twenty yuan; if you can buy two tons, If you can buy three tons, I will give you forty-five slabs for free; if you can buy more, I will give you change. How is it? You old man is not too expensive this time Right? You don’t have to ask me about the ‘event’ price!” Wu Yushan still didn't quite understand the secret of this, he lowered his head, smoking a cigarette, thinking about the relationship between this deal. "The reason is very simple, old man." The factory manager said, "Price steel is more than 800 yuan a ton, bargain steel is 1200 yuan, and black market steel is 1700 yuan. I can't buy cheap goods, and I can't even get bargain goods. If you convert the price of goods on the black market, one floor is 30 yuan. If you can find me a ton of cheap goods, I will save half of the cost. If you can find me three tons of cheap goods, I have the right to treat them as bargaining goods. Save more than 1,000 yuan in cost, and the price of your forty-five floor slabs will be converted into it, so I will give it to you for nothing. Do you understand now?" "Oh! Oh oh oh." Wu Yushan understood it, and suddenly realized that he dared to give someone the floor for nothing! "Think about it, old man, see if you have any relatives in the government, in the factory, or have connections, who can get cheap goods, and you can negotiate prices!" The factory manager said, "I will not lose you. " It was the factory manager who reminded him that he thought of carrying the burden.It's inconvenient for him to speak out immediately, and he seems impatient, and he hasn't grasped the nature yet!He purposely pretended to be helpless and said, "It's such a good thing...it's a pity...our clumsy farmer went out, our eyes are dark, can we know that...the public who sells steel?" "Then you can pay the price of 30 yuan!" said the factory manager. Wu Yushan stood up, patted the dust off his butt, and walked away slowly. When he got home, Wu Yushan told his wife about it, and his wife immediately urged him to find her brother-in-law.The son happened to be back too, and he agreed with his mother that the father had to do it himself.It doesn't seem serious enough for a son to find his uncle, a junior!Women may not be able to explain clearly, which will delay major events. The next day, Wu Yushan went into Xi'an by car. It was unimaginable that Zheng Jianguo and his wife and sister showed touching enthusiasm, which made him unbearable.He listened to them scrambling to say warm words of caring for him; scrambling to pass him cigarettes and tea; the soft chair was already soft enough, but the couple still pulled him to sit on the sofa, which was even softer; There are seven or eight dishes on the table, still frying, three bottles of wine are opened, and they are still being taken out of the cabinet... Three tons of steel, such a trivial matter, handed him a note written by himself, and his wife and sister stuffed his back pocket with pastries, candies, apples and pears. He handed the note to the factory director. Wu Yushan saw that the director of the factory with a steel rod fixed on his waist bent down, his eyes that liked to look at the sky smiled at him, and he spoke softly, affirming Said: "Uncle! If you can get another three or four tons of cheap goods, I will give you the floor of a two-story building for free." Wu Yushan shook his head, making two floors?Economic power is not enough! "How much can you save with two floors? More than two thousand! You only need to buy bricks and windows and doors." The factory manager gave him advice, very sincerely: "One-story bungalows are so hot in summer that they can't stand it! It's fashionable to build Two floors, enough style!" I went to the bearer's house, took a note, and replaced the floors of the three bungalows without spending a penny.In any case, he couldn't figure out what kind of tricks were being used here, but the sudden benefit made him happy, but also made him a little uneasy.He was indeed a little uneasy, because this floor slab worth more than 1,300 yuan was too easy and easy to get, which made him used to the old crop of heavy labor and cheap sweat in exchange for a small reward all his life. Han lost his sense of security.think about it!He caught two piglets in the first month, and fed them for a whole year. They grew to 250 to 60 catties, and sold them for 200 yuan. He seemed so happy. The neighbors in the village said he was a "pig life". !Now, he only spent more than one yuan for the bus fare, and he earned the value of the floors of three one-story houses. This way of earning and getting rich is naturally so fast that people dare not think about it anymore!You have to bend over to pick up money! The son didn't seem to have such an unnecessary and complicated burden. After listening to his father's narration, he proposed to build a two-story attic without hesitation, which coincided with the director of the cement prefabricated factory.The son works as a contract worker outside, and has more experience and experience than his father. He said that people outside (referring to the city) are now thinking about making money and grabbing money. People who work hard can only earn a small amount of money, and even my father's clumsy way of earning money - such as raising pigs - is not without ridicule. Wu Yushan went into the city again, went to Jianguo again, and got back a piece of paper... all the ninety slabs of the three two-story buildings were obtained. A few days later, when it was dark, a half-new jeep drove to Wu Village, stopped at the gate of Wu Yushan's house, stepped down from the factory manager of the cement prefabricated factory, and forced Wu Yushan into the car, and drove all the way to the city. Go, Wu Yushan must introduce Director Zheng to him. At that time, it was already dark, and the upstairs of the family's house was lit up, playing music mixed with TV and tape recorders.The factory manager and another young man carried a large color TV into Jianguo's house, and Wu Yushan led the way. After that, the director of the cement prefabricated factory directly communicated with Zheng Jianguo, and never asked Wu Yushan to be an intermediary.His son also quit his contract job and became a buyer for a cement prefabricated factory, and he is very close to the factory manager... The old man seemed to have a premonition that if things were going to go bad, where would it go wrong? Wu Yushan shed tears silently for a long time, his heart felt loose, but his head ached a little, his limbs were soft and tired, his mental and physical strength were exhausted, and he couldn't keep up his spirits.In the past, on a misty early spring morning, when he carried a dilapidated bamboo cage, walked out of the village, walked across the small wooden bridge, and entered the bustling pig and sheep market in Mulberry Town, his enthusiasm was so high!In order to get a satisfactory piglet and pay a less price, he patiently gritted his teeth with the seller.When he carried the little piggy back to his gate with vigor and put the bound and numb piglet into the soil circle, a great and vivid hope was throbbing in his heart!The difficult life made him fight for it tenaciously, but the easy picking made him lose the confidence in that kind of life.He thought that if he feeds pigs to earn money, he will never want to support such a decent building until he dies.Now, his own two-story building stands in the small courtyard, very conspicuous, very eye-catching, but because it came too easily, too easily, he did not endure the hardships in the struggle for this fruit, and now he has lost this fruit The happiness of time makes people lack something indescribable. Now, when he realized that this kind of fruit was exchanged for the cold steel handcuffs on Zheng Jianguo's wrist, Wu Yushan was so ashamed that he had no face to raise his head to appreciate the beautiful appearance of the building, and even lost Passionate about pigs. The closed street door creaked, and my wife walked in. Wu Yushan stood up awkwardly, observing his wife's face, it was gray, and there must be no good results.She went to her younger sister's house in the city yesterday to comfort and relieve the younger sister who had taken the man away, and to help with the housework. A wealthy and happy family is completely messed up. "How is Jianguo now?" He couldn't wait to chase into the house. "I'm still sitting in the backyard! I haven't... decided anything..." my wife said, "It's so pitiful! It's all for the help of others, and I sold it to steel and wood. Now I crushed my own hand to death!" Wu Yushan frowned.Don't ask anymore, he is worried that the burden will not be easily unloaded.Although some people are characters who turn their faces and deny people, he has seen the big color TV carried by the director of the cement prefabricated factory for his family.Even a fool can figure it out, among those people who sneak into their brother-in-law's house at night, who would go there empty-handed?Can you get steel with bare hands?Others don't say, my son was dragged away by the director of the cement prefabricated factory all of a sudden, and he was offered a heavy salary as a purchaser. Why? "He... well..." After a long time, he didn't say anything, he wanted to ask, how is his aunt?Afraid it's time to cry?At the end of the day, he couldn't say anything, he felt that he was sorry for Jianguo and his auntie Wa, which made the family scattered, but he lived in a western-style building... Sigh! "His aunt has hard organs!" said his wife. "Oh?" Wu Yushan suddenly raised his head. "After all, his aunt is from the city. She has experienced a lot and has seen a lot. When things happen, she doesn't mess up. Of course she feels uncomfortable. She is not like us country people. Weeping! My aunt’s mind is always on the line—” My wife said in a tone of admiration, “Look for whoever you want, and tell them to speak up right now. I went there for two days and only saw her once. Running outside all night, came back in the middle of the night, and left again in the morning. I heard her say a few words, looking for a 'player'..." "Oh, oh, oh!" Wu Yushan nodded, feeling admiration for Auntie Wa in his heart. If such a thing happened to him, his wife would have been frightened into a headless fly—flying around.Auntie Wa is scheming and can hold on, "That's right! What's the point of crying? What can we do with crying to death? It's Auntie Wa who has an idea." "That woman has been counting since she was a child..." the wife said as an older sister. "I'm afraid I've seen a lot in the past few years..." Wu Yushan added, "Who is an idiot who goes in and out of other people's homes? Unless I!" There was a sound of footsteps in the yard, and he recognized that it was his son Younian. Younian walked in, followed by the director of the cement prefabricated factory. Wu Yushan stood up hastily, feeling a bit unbearable to wait, eager to ask his son and the factory director, how was the lawsuit going?How did it end? "The case is not closed yet. Right now, it all depends on the attitude of the witnesses," said the son. "If the witness insists that there is no such thing, my uncle will be fine. If the witness does not..." He stopped talking about the predictable bad ending. "How did the court ask you two? How did you two respond?" Wu Yushan asked hurriedly. "The court doesn't want to take a useful word out of our mouths!" The factory manager widened his eyes and slapped the table lightly, "Before Director Zheng had an accident, someone from the Public Security Bureau came looking for me, and I refused immediately. No, no! We didn’t give Director Zheng a penny! Now it’s still the same, no! It’s still nothing to break the teeth!” How do people tell lies?How to tell a lie as the truth?Just like the director of the cement prefabricated factory said.Wu Yushan looked at the factory manager's stubborn expression. Although he took the blame for his relatives, he was a little scared in his heart. There seemed to be some kind of danger lurking in his son's work with such a person, but he couldn't take it into account at the moment. These. "Old man, wow! The first time I met you, I saw that you are a real person and trustworthy." The factory manager said, "I have lived in my village for more than 30 years, and my father only taught me two words of work. The principle of human beings is 'loyalty'. People who do not value loyalty are not considered human beings! Director Zheng has supported us with steel, and our factory has developed. This is the truth, and I have no conscience. When our factory is established, we cannot buy steel. , the production stopped, and the wages of the workers could not be paid out. I was so anxious that I wanted to jump into the well! Thanks to you, you introduced me to Director Zheng, and I came back to life! We have made money now. To tell you the truth, we really made money this year. , I feel sorry for it, and I give Director Zheng something, it’s all for gratitude! It’s all willing! Now, Director Zheng is suffering, and the money we earn is boring! If it’s on those villains, he won’t care Li! As long as I live comfortably! Oh...who wants my father to teach me loyalty since I was a child..." The old man Wu Yushan nodded again and again, these words just hit his temper.He has been a good man all his life, never talking nonsense with others, he is reasonable and loyal, and he looks down on those villains with red lips and white teeth the most.In the one or two years since he met the factory manager, he has not a bad impression of this person. He always feels that he and himself are two-way people.Now, he discovered that this factory manager has something in common with himself: "loyalty", and felt that he could talk to him all of a sudden, and he was close. "The director of the factory is really a good man!" The son echoed, "The people in the court talked to us alone, saying that the bribery behavior of the factory director corrupted the public officials and dragged some old officials into trouble. He is not afraid, and he is more angry than the people in the court. Hard, who corrupts who? The government allows farmers to set up factories, and we farmers are grateful for the good policy of the government! But we only call for the establishment of factories, and do not provide materials. Give us some steel, and our factory will be alive! We can’t bear it, and we can send some snacks and soju to Director Zheng, it’s true! Let’s talk about ‘color TV’, tickets, I dare to bet! People are blocked!" The factory manager listened, exhaling smoke rings in a very airy manner. "The current situation is like this. There are two key issues in Director Zheng's case. One is the matter of the construction company in Data District in the southern suburbs, and the other is the matter of a street factory in the city." The factory manager said, "We and my aunt Auntie negotiated, let her find someone to solve the matter of the street factory in the city. I will accommodate the matter of the Data Construction Company. As long as these two bumps can be 'digested' in private, Director Zheng will be fine. , I will still be the director when I come out in the future! If it doesn’t work, just ‘digest’ one, and the problem will be reduced to less than 10,000, so it won’t be a big deal!” Wu Yushan only realized at this moment that he is a complete waste, a big fool.Everyone is actively taking the burden of "digesting and digesting food" and saving the suffering people, but I can only squat beside the pigsty and cry. I am really hopeless!He now understands the general situation: the government is going to put Jianguo in prison, while many people are trying to rescue him, and they are all nervously and secretly fighting each other.Thinking of the people who wanted to put Jianguo in prison, he felt scared. He had a fear of the court since he was a child. Not only do I feel that I am incompetent and useless, but I am also really clueless and can't find the gaps in my eyes.It is rare for him to judge for a while, who can beat whom? "The court is still looking for you!" said the son, "This is a subpoena for me to bring back." Wu Yushan's heart trembled, he looked at the paper with a few lines printed on it in his son's hand, and dared not reach out to pick it up.Nearly sixty years old, he has never been involved in a lawsuit in his life, and now he is going to accept a court summons!
