Chapter 92: Give Up Zhang Quan

Old Woman Liu was about to get angry, but Huang Juan couldn't hold back anymore and said sternly: "Old Woman Liu, that's enough. Insisting on going home to talk—what do you mean by that?"

After a pause, she continued: "Don't think everyone is as idle as you. If you have any requests, say them here. We'll go out first."

As she spoke, she glanced at Police Officer Li, signaling him to come out quickly too.

Lu Lu Qiaoge had long been impatient. She glanced at Old Man Wei and Old Woman Liu, who had just exchanged dark glances, and also retreated out of the room.

There were more than a dozen people watching the fun in the hallway. Someone asked curiously in a low voice: "I didn't understand at all; what exactly is going on?"

"Didn't you see Police Officer Li from the police station come? This matter can't be small. It seems like it's about false accusations or something." Another woman lowered her voice and said.

The three of them, including Police Officer Li, all knew what it was about, but they couldn't say.

But someone knew—for example, Auntie Aunt Xiumei, who was cleaning the hallway, had heard the whole thing and basically understood it clearly.

She had a straightforward personality and said what she wanted to say: "I know. This morning, Zhang Quan had a high fever and fainted. Aside from Little Bao, there was no one else in the house. It was Comrade Little Lu from the neighborhood office who sent her to the hospital."

"It would have been fine if she had been sent to the hospital. Auntie Fatty, who has a warm heart, was taking care of Little Bao. Then Wei Qiang returned. The unit gave him three days off to arrange family matters, but Wei Qiang didn't go home. He told Deputy Director Huang that the month's living expenses were in the wallet in the bedroom and asked her to help bring it over. As a result, Deputy Director Huang found there was no wallet in the drawer, so Wei Qiang went to ask his mother."

"Old Woman Liu said she didn't know, so Wei Qiang believed her and felt there was a black sheep on that floor who had to be caught. So he went to the police station to report it."

"Police Officer Li is so capable; in a few words, he found out that Old Woman Liu had taken the wallet. Old Woman Liu's excuse was that she was old, had a bad memory, and forgot. Police Officer Li called Wei Qiang at the hospital, and Wei Qiang ran to the police station to withdraw the case. It should have ended there, but Old Woman Liu ran to the hospital to settle the score with Wei Qiang and Zhang Quan. She insisted that the couple had teamed up to frame her and harm her. Zhang Quan was angered into a faint and sent to the emergency room. Police Officer Li had no choice but to call the neighborhood office, and then they ran over again."

"You tell me, Leader Huang and Mediator Little Lu have run back and forth how many times for their family's business?"

"It's already evening and getting dark, and they haven't gotten off work or eaten yet. Old Woman Liu is quite energetic; she must have eaten her fill at home before coming. Now, who knows what those two are saying to Wei Qiang in the room?"

Police Officer Li rubbed his forehead. This was the first time he had seen such fierce gossip.

But there was nothing wrong with it.

Auntie Aunt Xiumei explained it very clearly; it was rare for her to have inquired so clearly.

The group of people gossiping around Auntie Aunt Xiumei didn't leave even after knowing the truth.

One of the old ladies sighed:

"No matter what Old Man Wei and Old Woman Liu say, Wei Qiang can only agree. He doesn't dare to refute them."

Another old lady said despondently: "I envy Old Man Wei and Old Woman Liu for having such a good son."

Everyone sighed with emotion.

Huang Juan and the others had no choice but to wait.

Meanwhile, inside the duty room, Wei Qiang looked at Old Man Wei and Old Woman Liu in disbelief.

These two actually wanted Zhang Quan to give her job to their eldest nephew, who was an apprentice.

Old Woman Liu looked at Old Man Wei and said firmly: "As long as your wife agrees to give the job to Lei, I will go take care of your wife, and your eldest sister-in-law can also help out. That way, you won't have to worry about family matters when you go to work."

Wei Qiang wasn't a fool; he naturally knew the significance of giving away a job.

He said somewhat impatiently: "But if Zhang Quan loses her job, there will be no subsidies or wages. What about medical expenses?"

Old Woman Liu said generously: "Then I'll give you one hundred yuan. She's a paralyzed person; just give her a mouthful of water. She can't do anything anymore, yet she still wants to eat and drink well? I'm telling you, Qiangzi, if you care about your mother, just agree to it quickly."

Wei Qiang grabbed a handful of hair anxiously: "One hundred yuan for a job?"

Old Man Wei said unhappily: "We're all family. Lei is your own nephew, not an outsider. By rights, you shouldn't even want money." He even sighed: "Truly, 'marrying a wife and forgetting one's mother.'"

Wei Qiang looked blankly at the parents who were calculating against him. He was filial, but he wasn't stupid. They had been eyeing Zhang Quan's job for a long time.

"I... I don't agree. If Zhang Quan loses her job, medical expenses won't be reimbursed. Without a salary, I can't make it on my own. Dad, Mom, please consider me, okay?"

Old Man Wei was furious: "I raised you for nothing for so many years. If I had known you were so unreasonable, I should have drowned you back then!"

Wei Qiang looked at his father in disbelief. He didn't know why, but hearing this, he felt very uncomfortable.

Old Woman Liu cried and howled: "You white-eyed wolf, you unfilial dog! You're trying to anger me to death on purpose, ah, ah, ah, I don't want to live anymore!"

As she spoke, she threw herself toward the wall.

Wei Qiang was startled and hurriedly grabbed Old Woman Liu, his eyes red: "Mom, what are you doing?"

Lu Lu Qiaoge had long been impatient.

She said: "This is a hospital; you can't argue here!" As she spoke, she pushed open the duty room door.

Then Lu Lu Qiaoge said: "Brother Wei, I'll come take care of Sister Zhang. You find a place to talk properly; this duty room isn't very suitable."

Huang Juan was about to stop her, but Lu Lu Qiaoge suddenly said "Oh!" and asked: "Uncle Wei, can I ask you something?"

Old Man Wei said reluctantly: "What do you want to ask?"

Lu Lu Qiaoge smiled: "I remember you, Uncle Wei, are from Cai Xiaohe Village, and you lived by Red Star Lake back then. Someone asked me to inquire about a person who is from your village and has the same surname as you—maybe he's a relative?"

Old Man Wei hadn't cared about listening at first; he was anxious about his eldest grandson's job.

If he could take advantage of this opportunity to force him to agree, he wouldn't have to worry about anything.

As for what others said, he didn't really care.

Getting real benefits was what was important.

Suddenly hearing the name "Wei Wei Dechang," he didn't react at first, but when he did, he froze in place, and the blood drained from his face.

That was his younger brother, and also Wei Qiang's biological father.

Old Woman Liu over there was also startled.

She looked at Lu Lu Qiaoge in fear and asked with a trembling voice: "You, who did you say you wanted to ask about?"

Then she reacted and waved her hands, saying urgently: "Who, who, who? We don't know them."

Lu Lu Qiaoge blocked Old Woman Liu, who was about to leave, and looked at Old Man Wei, who seemed to have a messy brain, and asked seriously: "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. That old man who went to the neighborhood office also said that Wei Wei Dechang had two brothers, the eldest named Wei Wei Decai. Wei Wei Dechang had a son named Wei Qiang, nicknamed Tie Dan, born in 1948. Speaking of which, he has the same name as Brother Wei..."

Not only was Wei Qiang's name the same, but Old Man Wei's name was also Wei Wei Decai.

Huang Juan and Police Officer Li naturally knew this. ===== CHAPTER 93 =====

Not only was Wei Qiang's name the same, but even Old Man Wei's name was Wei Wei Decai.

Huang Juan and Officer Li naturally knew about this.
