The fate of writers

Chapter 95

It's all caused by prejudice. It was just a trivial matter in the beginning, and the unsolved knot is the grudge. If the grudge is too deep, you will naturally dislike people everywhere.Keeping a cold face and not violating each other's well-being is considered restraint.

Fortunately, the relationship between them is not as bloody as Jiang Ling guessed, and there is that kind of irresolvable resentment, for example, the family of a certain female worker was killed by the family of a certain female worker during the turmoil a few days ago.

They need a bridge between them, and at the same time, let them know that they all work in a textile factory, and it is not good to form cliques and form small groups.

Jiang Ling and Xiao Ping are working hard to be a bridge and convey the correct meaning of each other's words to each other.

As for the incident that let the female workers know that they were a group, Jiang Ling didn't even need to plan it.

It was a normal working day again. Thanks to Jiang Ling's efforts, the female workers whose relationship had eased were weaving quickly, and the small bottle was woven in style. Only Jiang Ling's clumsy appearance made people feel distressed, which made the female workers Ridiculous again and again, she is really a young lady who does not stick to the spring water.

Jiang Ling wasn't angry either, and showed off the callus on his pen to prove that the ruler is shorter and the inch is longer.Then he boasted that the female workers all have a pair of skillful hands, which made the female workers laugh.Jiang Ling looks good and speaks well. According to age, she can be regarded as Jiang Ling's older sister, including Xu Xin who is older than Jiang Ling. They naturally like Jiang Ling who is full of innocence and ideal temperament.

Jiang Ling was surrounded by laughter and laughter, and something unexpected happened. A middle-aged couple broke in with someone.

"Xu Erya, get out of here. It's your parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. How can you get married if you don't want to get married?" Xu's mother's eyes widened angrily, her eyes widening from left to right. sweep.Xu Xin was quickly found.

Although no one had heard of the name Xu Erya, there was only one person named Xu in the textile factory, so everyone quickly matched the name with the person.

The first thing Xu Xin saw was his father standing behind his mother smoking a cigarette, and then this thin mother, the abnormal bruise under her eyelids had not dissipated.

Xu Xin was protected by the female workers. Even if she wanted to go out and explain clearly, she couldn't do it. She was held tightly by someone.

Jiang Ling winked at Xiaoping, then stood up and said, "The people here are all female workers hired by my Jinxiu Textile Factory, and there are contracts to prove it. Who are you, dare to rob me in broad daylight?" A female worker in our factory?"

Xu's mother was so frightened by Jiang Ling's momentum that she didn't dare to speak again.Xu's father threw the cigarette to the ground, rolled it with his feet, and then said: "We are Xu Erya's parents. It is natural for parents to see their daughters. You are also here to make money, so don't be too lenient."

After listening to Father Xu's words, Mother Xu noticed that Jiang Ling was wearing the same clothes as the other female workers, and she was startled again.

"That's right, that girl doll takes care of yourself, it's not your factory, and I'm her mother, what's wrong with my daughter. You don't look young anymore, you're not married yet, you don't do business by yourself, just be that monster , don't spoil my Erya..."

Xu Xin felt restless when she heard Xu's mother's harsh words. Does she know how much money she makes here, and who is she scolding?If Jiang Ling is not happy, wouldn't her hard-earned good job be ruined?
tear--

With Xu Xin's strength, the sleeves that were being pulled were cut off. She should go back and mend them. It's a pity that this set of clothes is good.

"You pretend you didn't give birth to me when you said it yourself, and you forget what you said in a blink of an eye? I don't have a mother like you." Xu Xin's words are very important in this era.The female worker who was pulling Xu Xin's other sleeve unconsciously let go.

Xu Xin felt that it was just right. She walked forward, pointed at Xu's mother who was not a loving mother, and started to accuse: "You prefer mistresses, there is nothing to say, who makes people's hearts naturally biased. But you can't treat me as a human being, that's marriage. Don't tell me, I don't know that the Liu family is only breathing, and I have to keep filial piety for him a few days after getting married. You are using the gift you got from selling me to fill the hole of studying, and you don't want to think about your spoiled child. I wonder if this boy is that lucky? He is not good at studying..."

Xu Xin and Xu's mother quarreled across the loom.Everyone also understood that they wanted to support their younger son to study but the family didn't have enough money, so they "married" their daughter out.Xu Xin had an older sister who filled in the hole once, and the youngest son of the Xu family failed to win the money many times and spent all his money, so he turned his attention to Xu Xin again.

Xu Xin was not one to take things easy and ran away immediately.The Xu family, who had taken the betrothal gift and spent it immediately, had no intention of returning the betrothal gift. They teamed up with the Liu family, who was in urgent need of happiness, to catch Xu Xin. This was the origin of today's farce.

"Okay, stop arguing." Jiang Ling's voice was not loud, and the two people making the noise didn't notice it. Jiang Ling had to push a table over and stand on it, clapping his hands and stamping his feet.The movement was so big that people finally noticed it.

Jiang Ling stood tall and could see far away. The people from the Liu family always seemed familiar to her, but they stood in the shadows, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Do you still want to start a fight after the quarrel is not pleasant? Fighting is refreshing for a while. If the textile machine is damaged, you have to compensate. A Huang's textile machine costs six taels of silver. If you can't afford the compensation, you will have to go to court." Jiang Ling also It’s not an exaggeration, after all, money is becoming less and less valuable.

Mother Xu immediately withdrew her hand that was about to hit Xu Xin, and Xu Xin also took a step back.

"A pile of broken wood, worth six taels of silver?" Xu's mother said angrily. She also took two steps back, not daring to approach the textile machine.

"Whether it's worth it or not will be decided in court. You'll know after you take a walk."

"Little girl is still threatening me with movies." Xu's mother rolled up her sleeves and wanted to come forward and teach Jiang Ling who had been against them since they entered the door.

After walking two steps, Mother Xu stopped again. How much is the broken wood she stepped on worth?Eh, no!How much is she worth with her feet.

Xu's mother stepped forward and wanted to tear Jiang Ling off, but Xu Xin stopped in front of Xu's mother with one stride, and the other female workers were also terrified.All the female workers had no way to watch, so they gathered around.

Xu's mother was frightened when she saw that they were in large numbers.Who the hell is this damn liar that allows so many people to protect her?

When Jiang Ling failed, Mother Xu immediately changed her target and grabbed Xu Xin's right arm with one hand.

"I'll take my Erya away, what do you want to do? Zeng Qingtian won't let you bully me, an old woman. In-laws, your daughter-in-law is here, help me."

The Liu family couple in the shadows didn't care about Xu's mother's yelling, they discussed their own.

"Master, do you think that is Miss Jiang's family?"

"It looks like it. If it's her, whether she can or won't offend her, she has a good father who protects her even after she dies."

This speaks of Zeng Hong's care for Jiang Ling.Everyone in Dongliu knew about Jiang Ling's case of proving that he was actually a property dispute.According to the old rules, there were orphans and widows on one side and villagers on the other. It was for the convenience of collecting taxes, and the county magistrate should know how to judge. But Jiang Ling won this case.

"What about Dong'er? There are only one horoscope in ten miles and eight villages. That's your only son."

"let me see……"

The Liu family and his wife were whispering, and Xu's father also saw something tricky. The girl standing on the table was probably the eldest lady, and she probably came to the textile factory to play.Originally, he had already inquired about the manager of Jinxiu Textile Factory, who came for half an hour in the morning and half an hour in the afternoon, and left after reading.Although Xu's father didn't know the reason, this was a good opportunity to bring someone back.People take it away, so it's easy to talk about whether there is a contract or not.

Who would want to kill a young lady halfway!

The person who asked for the information was too unreliable, but the money was paid and there was no regret medicine to take.

Father Xu was upset, so he took out another cigarette and lit it with a match.

On the other side, Wan Jia was the first to reach out and try to pull Xu's mother away. Xu Xin is also her half-disciple, and they are both women. They all know that a poor marriage will ruin their life, so she can't let it go.

"Why are you asking Xu Erya to arrest my apprentice Xu Xin? Let go."

Xu Xin raised her head suddenly and looked at Wan Jia. She didn't expect Wan Jia to take her away.

Other local female workers also looked at Wan Jia with surprise. She seemed to be quite nice.

"Still watching? Help, so many of us can't tear apart an old woman?"

After Wan Jia finished speaking, the first reaction of the foreign workers was to help. Wan Jia was very prestigious among them.On the contrary, the local female workers were immersed in emotions and were one step behind.

"Up, up, up. Wan Jia is right, go find Xu Erya and don't mess with our Xu Xin." The female workers from other places have helped, so naturally the local female workers cannot fall behind.

With the joint efforts of everyone, Xu's mother was pushed out. Xu's mother was not weak, and when she squeezed out, she still held a piece of blue cloth in her hand, which was torn from Xu Xin's body.

Everyone protected Xu Xin across the table and looked at Xu's mother warily.

What?Where did Jiang Ling on the table go?
Jiang Ling naturally took the opportunity to jump down and blend in with the crowd, she was very self-protective.

The one with the hottest temper was Xiaoyu, who looked soft and weak. She turned around and picked up a pair of scissors, and threatened Mother Xu: "Go back to your own house and solve the family affairs, don't mess around here."

Xu's mother backed away reflexively, and then she reacted and stretched her neck forward: "Come on, I won't leave anyway if I can't take my daughter away, everyone, come and see, what kind of black-hearted factory is this? , holding other people's daughters, not letting the mother see them, and returning the scissors to hurt people."

Xiaoyu is now in a difficult situation, she just wanted to threaten people to leave, but she didn't expect to encounter a hob meat.The female worker closest to Xiaoyu pressed down the scissors with one hand, and Xiaoyu put the scissors down as well.

People around the textile factory gathered around when they heard that there was a lot of fun to watch. Some people encouraged: "Prick! What are you afraid of? If I had already done it."

"Give it all." Just when everyone was looking happy, Xiao Ping arrived with Liu Zhi, Xiao Tian, ​​Jiang Gui, and his old friend Zhang Yamen.

Liu Zhi saw Jiang Ling behind her at a glance, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It looked like everything was fine. God knows how scared she was when she heard the people surrounding the textile factory saying that knives were being used inside.

Seeing the people from the yamen coming, the spectators around were happier and more at ease.

"Who is making trouble?" Zhang Yamen came in and only saw an old woman who was very good at making trouble and the female workers who were united to the outside world.

As for Xu's father and Liu's couple, they had already hidden in the crowd, perfect invisibility.

When Zhang Yamen looked at the female worker, he felt like he hated iron. He said, "Is it difficult to just take this old woman out with so many of you?"It cost him a long trip, but it was okay, Mrs. Jiang's wife was very good at being a good person, and she could buy a pound of meat and take it back with her.

When Xu's mother saw the officials, she was first frightened, and then the evildoers complained first.Xu's mother pointed to the red spots on her neck that were about to scab and said they were going to kill her.In addition to complaining, Xu's mother also fabricated many false facts and cursed in the most vicious words the female workers who stopped her from taking Xu Xin away.

After hearing what Xu's mother said, Xiaoyu angrily wanted to use the scissors to confirm her bad reputation. The red spot that was about to become a scab was caused by her own collision with the scissors, and she even retreated a step too late.She still remembered Xu's mother's triumphant eyes, which were filled with fear and resentment, but also contained the elation that I already knew meant.It's a pity that the scissors have long been put back into place by the female workers.

"Okay, then you all come with me, you, and you. Go to the Yamen together, and the Lord will give you justice," Zhang Yamen pointed out the invisible father Xu and Liu's couple one after another.

Xu's father stopped pretending to be dead, he naturally walked up to Qian and slapped Xu's mother: "My old wife can't speak, don't mind. We just want to see our daughter, and the wedding is approaching, so we can discuss the marriage. Housework! It's just family affairs, there's no need to go to the Yamen. Don't trouble Zeng Qingtian."

The Liu family also echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, we can't cause trouble for Zeng Qingtian, we can solve it ourselves. Daughter-in-law, the bride price has also been carried over, and you are preparing for the wedding when it is approaching, not to stop you from working. You have to take care of yourself before you get married."

The Liu family and his wife told Zhang Yamen that they didn't dare to look at the willow branches.They pretended to be a good family and bought land from Liuzhi at a very low price. What they did was deceitful and took advantage of others.

The Liu family and his wife talked, which made Liu Zhi notice the couple.Liu Zhi recognized the couple, and in fact, she also saw through the poor disguise of the couple at the beginning, but it was just up to Jiang Ling's standard of a kind family, and there are a little money to buy land, so the Liu family is not satisfactory .

"I haven't received any betrothal gifts. I haven't given a single one to me. Whoever takes it, who you find, whoever spends it, who you marry. It just so happens that my younger brother is the reincarnation of the Wenqu star in the sky, and he is just right for your son who has only one breath left." , maybe Wenquxing's literary spirit can hang on for a longer time." Xu Xin's words silenced Xu's father, Xu's mother, and the Liu family.

Of course they didn't reflect on themselves, but they were so angry that they only pointed at Xu Xin and said "you you you".

The onlookers only felt that the melon was delicious, so it turned out that this was the case, and they already had a corresponding picture in their minds.They blinked, held their breath, shook their ears, and urged in their hearts: "Speak quickly, let's listen!"
"I know you have grievances, but parents are more kind than heaven, and scholars should not be insulted. Speak politely." Zhang Yamen felt that he was doing Xu Xin's best.

The people around here couldn't wait for the next day after hearing the excitement. They just passed the news from one to two, and from two to three.Moreover, I can’t understand the words. Rumors are flying everywhere. How will Xu Xin live in the future and marry into a good family?
Xu Xin was silent. The female workers gathered around Xu Xin, discussing what Xu Xin should do.

Xu Xin stood up and said, "I will return the betrothal gifts you gave to you. I have nothing to do with you. Don't pester me after paying off."

Xu Xin knew that it was impossible to expect Xu's father and Xu's mother to pay back the gift money. It would be more convenient for her to come: "Father, Mom, in addition to paying back the gift money, I will also give you six more Two silver coins are used to break up the relationship, and my daughter's filial piety can only go so far. My contract is in two copies, one of which is in the hands of my employer. Unless you are willing to pay me liquidated damages, I will not leave. Yes. Dad, Mom, make the decision."

Why is this so!Also pay back.Jiang Ling felt unhappy.But she saw the reactions and whispers of the people around her saying that Xu Xin was too cruel.

Personal emotions count as personal emotions, and from a rational perspective, Xu Xin did the right thing by cutting the knot quickly.

It's easy to guess what Xu's father and Xu's mother will choose.They began to dilute how many times to give money, when to give money, and how much to give.They are desperate for money, the sooner the better, the more the better.The Liu family and his wife thoughtfully said that it could be repaid anytime. They were not in a hurry, so they might as well give the money to Xu's father and Xu's mother first.

"I'll pay for this money for Xu Xin first. Xu Xin will pay me back the money, and it will be deducted from my wages every month. It's better to hit the day than to choose a date. It's better to break off the marriage or something. It must be done today. It's a mess. For most of the day, do you know how much money it has cost me?" Jiang Ling said pretending to be impatient.

You can't let them continue to drag and entangle, or you will just keep cutting and making chaos.

Xu Xin looked at Jiang Ling gratefully, Jiang Ling touched her purse, as if it wasn't enough, she stuck it over and borrowed it from Liu Zhi.

"As long as you are soft-hearted, no matter how big the family business is, it can't afford you to spread the money like this." Liu Zhi said so, and it was a pleasure to give the money. Jiang Ling took the money out of the purse and divided it into two for the two families.

Xu's father and Xu's mother took the money very quickly, but the Liu family and his wife were slow to accept it.

"What should I do? Miss Jiang's family has meddled again. Should we delay as planned?"

"Procrastination, how to delay? If you delay any longer, your bad intentions will be revealed."

They looked at each other, only you can know.But Jiang Ling felt that there must be nothing good.

"Your money." Jiang Ling repeated loudly, and then put the money into the hands of the Liu family and his wife.

The money was hot, and the Liu family couple was about to say something when Yamen Zhang spoke up: "Since the matter is settled, it would be great. I can count it as a testimony to you, this money belongs to you, no one can grab it." don't go."

Zhang Yamen's words were originally meant to deter two or three groups of thieves with green eyes in the crowd. The Liu family couple felt guilty, and thought that Zhang Yamen was telling them not to be ignorant of good and evil, so they held back what they wanted to say.

"Okay, let's all go away." Oda began to disperse the crowd at this time, and people who had eaten a whole melon were eager to share, and dispersed in twos and threes.

Liu Zhi is making friends with Yamen Zhang, and the corners of Yaya Zhang's lips are almost grinning to his ears.

Besides Jiang Ling, Xu Xin also solemnly thanked Wan Jia.So far, the female workers have united together, and there is no distinction between local and foreign workers.

After the matter came to an end, Liu Zhi wanted to take Jiang Ling, the boy who had scattered money, home, but Jiang Ling had sharp eyes. The front page of the newspaper that someone in the crowd was holding was "Weaver Girl", and she saw it.Editor-in-chief Yan Hua was really efficient. Jiang Ling was curious about what people thought of "Weaver Girl". The teahouse in Beiqu Lane was always at the forefront of fashion. It happened that the teahouse she often visited had been repaired, so she brought another He slipped away with the vial, leaving all the rest of the affairs of the Jinxiu Textile Factory to Xiao Tian, ​​the chosen worker.
