451 The beggar is still a lame man
The villagers laughed loudly and talked about the lively events at Deputy Factory Manager Li's house. Since the person involved was not present, they chatted even more freely and unscrupulously.
However, they didn't know that the male protagonist in their topic was hiding in the haystack behind them.
Listening to everyone's comments about him, Deputy Director Li suddenly felt ashamed and angry.
He thought that since he was the deputy director of the factory, others would look down upon him with envy, respect, or even fawning over him.
But I didn't expect that these people would be so merciless when discussing, and they would say whatever was unpleasant.
It turns out that in their hearts, I am such a henpecked loser?
Deputy Director Li felt that he was filled with anger.
Unable to bear it any longer, he immediately got out of the haystack and shouted: "What nonsense are you old ladies talking about! Who is afraid of his henpecks? Who is a wimp?"
"Clean your mouth for me!"
Everyone was frothing at the mouth and talking enthusiastically, when they suddenly heard the voice of Deputy Director Li, and everyone was startled.
I saw a person suddenly jump out from behind the haystack they were leaning against.
That man's head, face, and body were all covered in hay.
The clothes on my body looked wet and dirty, filled with dirt and grass clippings.
Deputy Director Li, who was usually clean and tidy and proud of himself, turned into this miserable and embarrassed person.
Everyone was a little curious and started talking in low voices.
"Oh my god! It's actually Li You?"
"Why is Li You hiding in the haystack? Why is he so embarrassed?"
"It seems that what you said is indeed right. Last night, the couple fought again!"
"It seems true! This Li You must have lost the battle and was kicked out by his wife!"
"I also think it's because I was kicked out and had no place to sleep, so I ended up in a haystack!"
Everyone was whispering and had different expressions.
After all, you can say anything when talking about someone behind their back, but you would definitely not dare to say these words in front of the person involved.
The women suddenly looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
One of the women had a look of disdain on her face, and whispered: "Aren't we telling the truth? You two were fighting, and the whole village heard it, and you didn't let us tell you!"
Everyone heard that the woman spoke first and started talking one after another.
"That's right! We all saw that female employee from your factory come to the village. She said it herself. You were in good terms with her, but didn't your wife go to the steel rolling mill to cause trouble? This can't be a lie, right?
"
"Yes, Lao Li, you have to admit that you have done something wrong. If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. It is a good man to do good deeds. But if you don't admit it and scold us, this is your fault!"
"I've never seen someone so confident after doing such a shameful thing!"
"You are just trying to show off your power as the deputy director in the factory. If you still want to do this in our village, I won't buy your fault!"
"Do you think you can hide what you did in the factory? It has already spread throughout our village! Who doesn't know..."
A group of women started talking at once, saying something to each other.
These words seemed to hit Deputy Director Li on the head one by one.
He was immediately stunned.
He always thought that he was the deputy director, aloof and very respectable in the village, but he didn't expect that these people secretly looked down on him at all and despised him so much.
Deputy Director Li suddenly trembled with anger, pointed at the group of neighbor village women and cursed: "You shrews, shrews!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Simply, simply unreasonable, unreasonable!!"
When the women heard this, they became even more angry.
The tone of voice also became higher.
"Li You, we usually call you deputy director just to be polite. To put it bluntly, we are not workers in your steel rolling mill. The steel rolling mill does not pay me wages. We are not workers under you. Please take less advantage of you.
That smug look in the rolling mill to keep us down!"
"Exactly! Now is a new society, everyone is equal! I am being called the deputy director of the factory, so what if you are the director of the factory? We are not all members of the people? Why do you scold us like this!"
"You are so powerful, why don't you go to your factory and lose your temper? What do you, the women and old ladies like us, have to say in vain!"
"Yes! I heard that you failed to become the factory director and were cut off by a young man. Are you unhappy? Then if you are unhappy, go find someone who makes you unhappy! Why should you follow me?
We are noisy!"
Although this group of rural women didn't have any questions, because they had lived in the countryside all year round, they had a lot of quarrels among the neighborhood mothers-in-law, daughters-in-law, and grandmothers-in-law, so they naturally learned the skill of quarreling.
He knows how to speak the most irritating and most poignant people.
On top of that, one woman is already difficult enough to deal with, and now it's a group of women, and a group of rural women who are good at quarreling and irritating people.
Deputy Factory Director Li is a man, and he is already in trouble, so how can he be their opponent?
After two rounds, Deputy Director Li was so angry that he was shaking all over and his face turned green.
He could only repeat one sentence: "Incomprehensible! Incomprehensible!"
Then he ran away.
Seeing Deputy Director Li leaving in a hurry and limping back, all the women in the village felt like they had won a good battle.
I was so proud that I started talking even more happily.
But Deputy Director Li couldn't go home, so he had no choice but to go to the steel rolling mill in embarrassment.
Fortunately, my home is not far from the steel rolling mill, usually only about ten minutes away.
There is also a clean set of clothes in the office. Go to the office quickly and change your clothes.
However, he still thought simply.
The ten-minute journey he estimated was based on the speed at which he would normally go to work when he was not injured.
But he usually rides a bicycle to work. Ten minutes of riding a bicycle is completely different from ten minutes of walking.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It takes ten minutes to ride a bicycle, and it will take at least half an hour to walk.
What's more, the current Deputy Director Li is not in perfect health.
He had a broken leg and had to use crutches with both hands. Walking was much more difficult than ordinary people.
It usually takes half an hour to walk, but now it feels very far away.
I walked straight until I was sweating all over, and I only walked half the distance.
Deputy Director Li was breathing heavily as he walked.
I thought silently in my heart: Hold on, hold on! When we get to the factory, we can change clothes!
However, although Deputy Factory Director Li's idea of rushing to the factory office to change clothes was sound, he overlooked a very important point.
That is-
On the journey from his home to the factory, he would also meet acquaintances.
For example, at this moment, Deputy Director Li was walking hard on the road, but he was surrounded by strange looks.
From time to time, workers passing by pointed at the struggling back of Deputy Director Li.
Secretly laughing and discussing.
Some good people even greeted Deputy Director Li directly.
"Deputy Director Li, are you walking to work today?"
"Deputy Director Li, what's wrong with you? Why are your clothes wet?"
"Deputy Director Li, did you... fall? Why are you covered in mud and grass clippings?"
"Who hit you?"
"Whoever is attacking is too harsh, isn't he? To beat Deputy Director Li like this?"
Deputy Director Li felt extremely embarrassed when he heard the looks from people passing by him from time to time. The inquiries from people he knew made him even more confused as to how to speak.
What should he say?
He said he was kicked out of the house by his wife? He slept in a haystack all night?
If someone else asked him the reason for the quarrel, how should he answer?
Is it because of how many chickens? I am a dignified deputy factory director, but in the heart of my wife, chickens are not as important as chickens.
Deputy Factory Director Li just felt ashamed to see people. If there was a crack in the ground at this time, Deputy Factory Director Li would definitely get in without hesitation.
He really didn't want to face everyone's questioning.
At this time, Deputy Director Li deeply regretted his decision.
Even if he fights with his wife, he still has to go back and change his clothes.
Such a commotion will not only make him lose face in the village and be laughed at, but even the workers in the steel rolling mill will probably spread his misery soon.
However, we have come this far and it is too late to regret.
After all, if I return home to change clothes now, it will take longer than the time it takes to go to the steel rolling mill.
For the current plan, we can only bite the bullet and move forward.
After spending more than an hour, Deputy Director Li finally walked to the steel rolling mill.
At this time, it was already past the time to go to work.
Those who should enter the factory have already entered their respective workshops and started working.
The entrance to the factory gradually became quiet, and the security department also became idle.
Several workers from the security department gathered together, smoking and chatting.
When some topic was mentioned, several people burst into laughter.
While they were chatting, one of them looked in one direction and said impatiently: "Where is this beggar from? Why did he come to our steel rolling mill to beg for food? He is so short-sighted!"
A tall and thin worker next to him, who had just arrived at the security department of the steel rolling mill, also took a look at the crowd and said: "Why is this beggar still a lame? He came out to beg for food on crutches. It's quite pitiful. I'll wait for him to take care of him in the morning."
Give him the remaining half of the steamed bun!"
"What this beggar did to her body looks really dirty!"
As the people talked, the 'beggar' came closer and closer.
The tall and thin worker also came over with the half of the steamed bun and shouted: "Hey! Beggar! Come here and give you half of the steamed bun!"
When the 'beggar' heard this, he paused and seemed stunned for a moment.
Then he turned around and quickly moved towards the door.
Several workers from the security department joked: "Hey! This beggar walked very fast when he heard that there was something to eat~"
"Yes, it seems that you are very hungry!"
The 'beggar' was getting closer and closer, and was only a dozen meters away from the factory gate.
But something was wrong with several workers in the security department.
"Why does this 'beggar'... look like he is wearing work clothes from their steel rolling mill??"
"Why do I look at this beggar so familiar? It seems like I have seen him somewhere?"
Several people looked at each other, rubbed their eyes, and looked over hard.
The ‘beggar’ in the eyes of the security science workers was none other than Deputy Director Li, Li You.
When Li You heard the security department worker calling him a beggar and saying that he would give him half a steamed bun, he was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe and fainted.
There seemed to be a fire burning in his heart, almost burning all his internal organs.
Using crutches with both hands, I walked faster.
When they arrived at the gate of the steel rolling mill, the workers in the security department saw clearly that the person they were teasing was not a beggar, but the deputy director of their steel rolling mill!
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed, and they quickly walked away.
They were afraid that Deputy Director Li would bring bad luck to them.
Only the tall and thin worker was left standing there blankly, still holding the half of the cornstarch prepared for the 'beggar'.
Deputy Director Li walked up to the tall and lanky worker on crutches.
Two clusters of fire were burning in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and asked: "What did you just say you wanted to give me?!"
The tall and lanky worker came to his senses and hurriedly hid half of the wotou behind his back and said, "It's nothing~! You, you heard Deputy Director Li wrong~!"
Deputy Director Li snorted heavily and said, "If the eyes are useless, just dig them out and throw them away!"
"Shut up if you can't speak. You're talking nonsense! I think you look like a beggar!"
After Deputy Factory Director Li finished speaking, the tall and thin worker nodded his head in agreement.
Deputy Director Li then walked toward the factory on crutches.
When Deputy Director Li walked away, the workers from the security department who had run away just now ran back and surrounded the tall and thin worker.
The tall and lanky worker stuffed half of the steamed bun into his mouth in annoyance and said, "I'm really nosy, and I've offended the deputy director!"
Several people around him comforted him and said, "How can I blame you? None of us recognized him as Deputy Director Li!"
"That's right, he looks like this. If he hadn't gotten closer, who would have recognized him!"
"These clothes are dirty, full of mud and weeds. How many people can recognize them? He can only blame himself. Why did he end up like this?"
"That's right! He looks exactly like a beggar!"
The tall and thin worker still looked depressed and said, "But this is Deputy Factory Director Li, who is notoriously petty. I offended him today, and I don't know when he will put on my little shoes!"
Another worker comforted the tall and thin worker and said: "Don't be angry. The current Deputy Director Li is no longer the former Deputy Director Li. In the past, in our factory, if the director did not come, there was only Deputy Director Li."
People can block the sky with one hand, scold whomever they want, fire whomever they want, but now, the sky has changed!"
