Chapter 81 The biggest disagreement
  Yes, Song Xiaofan has really changed. He became not only impatient but also unreasonable. Regarding the matter of burying Song Hui, mother and son had the biggest disagreement and conflict in their lives.

But as a mother, Ms. Wang knew that he had been hit hard. Even for a child who had less experience than herself, he must have been hit much more than she was!

Yes, in Ms. Wang's mind, although her son is already in his twenties, he is still a child in her eyes. Just a child! She could tolerate the child's mischief for the time being.

The next day, Song Hui's incident was reported as the biggest news in Qingcheng City. TV, Weibo, browsers and major short video platforms have successively reported on it. Paper couldn't contain the fire, but I didn't expect the fire to burn so quickly! Ms. Wang was frightened by this and didn't know how she would face her colleagues and boss tomorrow.

But the subsequent facts proved that she thought too much.

Song Xiaofan was silent in the room, making no sound. Whenever the breakfast smells delicious, he will always be the first to rush out and shout: "Mom, your breakfast is the most delicious. I want to eat it for the rest of my life."

Every time at this time, he would grab a piece of egg pancake or poached egg with his hands and take a bite.

Ms. Wang also waved his hand and said angrily: "You are such a big man and you don't even brush your teeth!"

The delicious food fell, and he caught it quickly with quick eyes and hands.

If you thought he would put the food back on the plate, you were wrong. He put it directly back into his mouth and swallowed it in one go.

Now, the meat porridge is stewed, and the egg pancakes are spread out and arranged into an exquisite platter. The delicious food was placed on the table, and the aroma was everywhere, but the eater did not show up. Ms. Wang looked at her son's door with complicated emotions, but the door was still closed tightly.

She knocked on the door without hesitation, "Hey! Fanfan, come out and have something to eat."

no answer.

She knocked again.

But Song Xiaofan still didn't speak, not knowing what he was doing inside.

She put her ear to the door panel, but did not hear the expected snoring, nor did she hear the sound of short videos being viewed on her phone. Could it be that he was in a daze and didn't see the news? After a moment of rejoicing, she knocked on the door several times, but no sound came from inside.

In the past, their interactions were often many and warm, but now there is no sense of life at all. They skipped breakfast in the morning, didn't go out at noon, and didn't see anyone at night.

The house is as cold as an ice cellar. The son suddenly became very indifferent to his mother, without any of the cuteness and thoughtfulness he used to have. This made Ms. Wang feel chilled for a moment, but she still put on a smile and shouted: "Fanfan, mom goes to work first. Breakfast is ready, remember to eat it later!"

Still no answer.

Ms. Wang was a little panicked, forgot that she had not eaten breakfast, and hurried to work. But when I arrived at the company, everything changed. Everyone looked at her with strange eyes, including curiosity, ridicule, disdain, anger, sympathy, compassion, etc. She didn't dare to face them directly. In the past, they all took the initiative to greet her, but now there was no greeting, only pointing and spitting all over the world.

She fled into her workstation in the office like a mouse crossing the street and quickly got into work mode.

But the good times didn't last long, just before she was about to complete the rest of the inventory. The office door knocked. Ms. Wang was slow for a second and said, "Go and open the door right away."

But the door had already been opened by the proprietress. She walked straight in and asked straight to the point: "I asked you to open the door, why didn't you open it?"

This rude attitude was definitely not what the boss lady in the past would have had. Why did she suddenly break into this private space now?

"Me? I just have time." She originally wanted to ask the landlady what happened, but then she kept silent. Where did her damn confidence go?

The landlady snorted coldly, unable to comment, and took out a piece of paper from her pocket and slapped it on the table, "From today on, you are fired!"

"Why?" Ms. Wang was puzzled. Even if something happened to Song Hui, it would not endanger her.
  The landlady has always been gentle, but her gaffe now is really rare. She suppressed her anger and said, "You know, something happened to your man, and the impact was very bad." I see, haha——

"But, but - Ms. Wang doesn't understand that no matter how great the impact of Song Hui's incident is, it can't affect her work, right?

She calmed down for a few seconds and tried to suppress the anger that was gushing out from her heart. "Okay, but there are still some finishing touches to the inventory. Can you allow me to finish it before leaving?"

"No need, I'm afraid you made a mistake in the accounts." The landlady was direct and overbearing, and her tone was as cold as a stranger.

Mistake? After working for twenty years, she has made no more than ten mistakes, right? Ms. Wang tried hard to smile, but failed. After signing, she packed her things and walked out of the company.

As soon as I got downstairs, my phone received a reminder message that a payment had been made. When I opened it, I saw that it was the remaining labor fees I earned from working in the company! The salary in the company was suppressed for a month, and it should have been settled at the end of the month, but there is no need to suppress it now.

The landlady avoids her like a snake and a scorpion, wishing to break away from her as soon as possible. I really didn’t expect that after so many years of hard work in this company where there is no merit but hard work, the outcome would be like this!
  Now, she really looked like a rat crossing the street, and everyone yelled and beat her.

Breathing in the fresh air, she instantly understood what the landlady meant. It turns out that she was afraid that she would emulate Song Hui in corruption, that she would embezzle public funds privately, and that she would cause losses to her company!

Damn Song Hui, he's dragging his family down even if he dies.

Exhausted both physically and mentally, she walked home. She was met with numerous criticisms from her acquaintances and neighbors, who soon scolded her to pieces. When she got home and saw the untouched breakfast on the table, her stomach growled for a while. It turns out that I haven’t had breakfast yet.

However, Fanfan didn’t eat it?
  Ms. Wang knocked on the door again, "Fanfan, come out and have breakfast."

Still no response.

There was no breath of life in the living room, as if the whole thing had sunk into the boundless seabed and would never surface again.

Song Xiaofan didn't eat any food. He skipped breakfast, didn't come out at noon, and didn't see anyone at night.

She finally couldn't sit still, "Fanfan, are you angry with your mother?"

"Listen to mom, even if you are angry with me, don't make fun of your body. Your dad is gone, and I can't just watch you abuse your body like this."

But these appropriate words failed to elicit any response from Song Xiaofan. Did you hear it or not?
  Apparently, he should have seen the news too.

It's just that he got into trouble and couldn't get out of his complicated emotions.

But Ms. Wang didn't care about this, she just banged on the door vigorously, "Fanfan, come out, come out quickly!" Her hands hurt from the beating, so she kicked her with her feet, which made a thumping sound. There was a dull protest from the door panel, but she never heard her son's protest.

She couldn't help but panic. In the past, she regarded her husband as the sky and her son as the earth. The father and son were her heaven and earth. Now the sky has fallen and the earth is unstable. It was the first time I felt unemployed. In the past, when I was working, I would rest when I had a break. My days were always well arranged and full of fun. Now that she had no job and nothing to do, she suddenly lost her idea.

After calming down, Ms. Wang sat on the sofa. The family had lost its backbone, her children had not found jobs, and she had been fired. What energy would she have in her future life?
  When I turned on my phone, there was only 20,000 yuan left in my account. She has never bought insurance, and the company has not bought it. What's worse is that she has not reached retirement age. What will you do for a living in the following days? Will you do odd jobs?

At this moment, there was a violent banging on the door!

who? She stood up and stared at the door panel.
