Chapter 2314: Less fighting!

Xie Guifang was frightened by the scene of Grandpa Wang beating Wang Yong. Her family favored boys over girls, so although she was a girl, she was often beaten when she was a child.

The beating from Grandpa Wang not only reminded Wang Yong of his miserable childhood, but also reminded Xie Guifang of the hard days in the past, so when they looked at Grandpa Wang again, they were somewhat scared.

Grandma Wang was actually the same. She used to be very afraid of her man, fearing that he would ignore her like her parents did. It was only after she gave birth to a son that her attitude gradually changed.

Now seeing that her man had suddenly become powerful again, Grandma Wang thought of the days when she had caused trouble, and was worried that Grandpa Wang would hit her with a stick.

After all, although Grandpa Wang didn't care much about the conflict between her and Xie Guifang, he had said many times that a loving mother often spoils her son. The reason why Wang Yong was so unfilial today was entirely because of the pampering he received from Grandma Wang.

In such a situation, Wang Yong suddenly felt isolated and helpless. He found that the more he was scolded and beaten, the harsher the beatings became. Coupled with the awakening of his childhood fear of his father, he slowly began to beg for mercy.

However, when Wang Yong started begging for mercy, Wang Yue did not let go. Grandpa Wang continued to beat Wang Yong until Wang Yong's voice became hoarse. Grandpa Wang then stopped, but Wang Yue still held Wang Yong down unwaveringly.

Grandpa Wang looked at everyone in the room and realized that everyone, big and small, was scared. Then he said to Wang Yue, "Xiao Yue, let go of your father and let me talk to him."

Wang Yue obediently let go and stood aside. He also wanted to see what Grandpa Wang would say to Wang Yong and how to convince this unreliable Wang Yong.

When Grandpa Wang saw Wang Yue giving him face, he felt his back became stronger. He said to Wang Yong with full confidence, "Yong'er, I haven't hit you for so many years. I originally thought that you were old enough and should have been sensible.

Later, I felt that you were older and I needed to give you face, but you became more and more unruly, which really disappointed me.

Your usual attitude towards me and your mother does not act like a son at all. We understand that your life is not easy, so we don't make it a point to argue with you.

But what do you do outside?

I won’t talk about anything else. Your mom and I have been living together with our neighbors here for many years. They were living here peacefully, but in the end, they were driven away by you!

When your Uncle Liu and his family moved away, they came to my place to say goodbye to me. They were so sad whenever they mentioned you that I felt so embarrassed.

You don't want to get along with these friends of mine, so just forget them, but you, the new neighbor, are still doing mischief there!

Do you feel that you have lived a peaceful life for too long? If you meet a ruthless person, are you prepared to sacrifice your entire family?"

Wang Yong was very dissatisfied and said angrily, "Neighbors are always like this. When you are strong, they are weak, and when you are weak, they are strong. In the past, the branches of Lao Qin's tree blocked the sunlight in our house, but he just refused to cut them down. He was the one who bullied others first, so I started to torment them. You are the one who is always bullied, and you won't let me fight back!"

After hearing this, Father Wang was speechless and said angrily, "After I told him, didn't they trim the trees later? Everyone is busy earning a little salary every day, so who has the time to take care of that broken tree? It's you who learned to be petty from your mother, and you've narrowed your path further and further."

As he said this, he felt so angry that he hit Wang Yong twice on the buttocks.

When Wang Yong stopped beating, he actually turned over and wanted to sit up, but his butt had turned red from being beaten for so long, and as soon as his butt touched the bed, he immediately turned over again because of the pain.

So, when Grandpa Wang beat Wang Yong, Wang Yong didn't even have a chance to react before he was hit twice on his butt.

Wang Yong cried out in pain as his old injuries continued to pile up and new ones appeared. But he didn't need Wang Yue to hold him down at all, and he couldn't resist at all. He could only bite the bullet and accept the beatings from Grandpa Wang while he was being scolded by him.

Maybe he was beaten too much and Wang Yong couldn't bear it anymore. He thought that he couldn't go to work now, and then he had an idea.

So he shouted angrily, "Old man, you beat me so hard that I can't get out of bed. Who will go to work? My mother and my wife have to rely on their two-year salary. Our family will starve."

Xie Guifang does work, but she doesn't earn as much as Wang Yong. A family of three cannot be supported by Xie Guifang's income alone.

Grandma Wang's salary is not much, and it is just enough for grandpa and grandma to live on.

So, although Wang Yong's words were a threat, they were also a fact, which made Grandpa Wang somewhat hesitant.

Wang Yue knew that some things had to be done in one go, so he immediately said, "Grandpa, don't be afraid. If my dad can't go to work, you can go in his place. Anyway, you are familiar with the work, and you are in good health. You can work for a few more years. It's just right for me to take over your job."

He was just joking. It was fine for Grandpa Wang to take over for a few days, but if he did it for a long time, I'm afraid the factory would not be willing.

The reason why Grandpa Wang tolerated Wang Yong was because he was worried that he would have no one to rely on when he got old. Now that his grandson has grown up, he is of course willing to be a qualified grandfather.

So, Grandpa Wang nodded and said to Wang Yong, "Okay, I'll talk to the factory manager later. You stay at home and recover first." Wang Yong was dumbfounded when he heard this. His job was the backbone of his family and also gave him his current status in the family. If he really lost his job, he would be as poor and depressed as Grandpa Wang in this family.

But Wang Yong had no choice now. After all, he was beaten so badly that he couldn't get out of bed, and he wouldn't be able to go to work tomorrow. He could only look at Grandma Wang with tears in his eyes.

Originally this trick was very effective. At least when he was a child, every time he looked at Grandma Wang with this kind of eyes, Grandma Wang would immediately stand up to protect him.

But it was no use now. Grandma Wang just turned her head away and pretended not to see it.

……

The house at that time was not soundproof, and the Wang family's movements were heard very quickly by the neighbors.

But this incident happened in the house, and they wanted to know the details, but they didn't know and could only guess.

And Wang Yong lived directly at home for the next few days. Grandpa Wang found the factory manager and took over his shift for a while.

At that time, it was not as strict as before. As long as people were working and it did not affect the progress of the factory, no one would say anything.

After all, everyone had worked in the same factory for so many years, and no one among the neighbors would say much, but the news that Wang Yong was beaten by Grandpa Wang was inadvertently spread.

Wang Yong's mixed personality was already a headache for the factory leaders, not to mention that Grandpa Wang was much more popular than Wang Yong. So, when Grandpa Wang went to work, the factory director not only did not refuse, but also specifically told the Finance Department to let Grandpa Wang settle the wages himself, just to skip Wang Yong.

The factory manager is actually Grandpa Wang’s former apprentice, but he has academic qualifications and connections, so he was promoted faster than most people.

Wang Yong was able to act so arrogantly in the factory because of his relationship with the factory director. In fact, the factory director had long been fed up with Wang Yong.

Therefore, as long as Grandpa Wang can manage Wang Yong well and cause him less trouble, the factory director even wants to transfer this job directly to Grandpa Wang.

And it was from that day on, probably because he knew it would be embarrassing if the news of him being beaten became known, Wang Yong became a much more low-key person and never quarreled with his colleagues and neighbors again.

But Xie Guifang is just a traditional woman. After Wang Yong became low-key, she gradually became kinder.

……

Wang Yue resolved the conflicts within his family and also studied his own yard during his time between school and home.

In fact, Wang Yong had thought of a way to open an extra water outlet in his own home. Although the Wang family's house was located at a higher altitude, it was only relative to the Zhuang family and the Lin family.

However, compared with the other houses in the alley where Wang Yong's house is located, it still appears lower.

Although it is only a little bit lower, it is a different story after it rains, as the water always flows here.

As the Wang family is the innermost family in the alley, the water in their yard cannot be drained out and is flooded every time it rains.

However, if you dig a drainage ditch in the alley next to the wall, the family living in front will be unhappy about it. After all, it will be digging into someone else's wall, and they will be worried that something might happen to their house.

In fact, the solution to this problem is very simple. You just need to raise the yard of your home a little higher, as long as it is higher than the alley, so that the water in the house can be drained out.

However, there is a disadvantage to doing so. That is, the floor height of the house is not very high, and the house cannot be filled too much. Once the terrain in the yard is higher than the house, rainwater will directly flood into the house, which is even more uneconomical.

Fortunately, Wang Yue studied architectural design, so he had some research on these drainage problems, and he quickly came up with a solution.

Wang Yue was a man who did what he wanted to do. He simply borrowed a tricycle and went to the suburbs to pull some soil after school. He raised his yard a little bit.

However, after the ground was raised with soil, it would be washed away quickly once it rained. Wang Yue then started to collect brick fragments and use them to tidy up the yard.

At the same time, he built a small step with bricks at the junction of the back door and the yard, and left a gutter at the junction of the step and the yard, which led directly to the outlet.

With this arrangement, water in the yard will flow out directly and will not enter the house.
