That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1040 Don’t Use Children as Weapons

Children in the 1980s all liked the Chinese New Year because they could wear new clothes, set off firecrackers, and receive lucky money.

Among these three things, New Year's money ranks first, firecrackers rank second, and new clothes are actually optional.

In many places in Dongshan Province, lucky money is given on New Year's Eve. It is said that the New Year's money on New Year's Eve has the meaning of warding off evil spirits and protecting children from being disturbed by "evil spirits".

However, it is highly unlikely that children can save their New Year’s money. Most of it will be swindled away by their evil parents. Only extremely smart children can keep those hard-earned bucks.

Xiaodouer is an extremely smart child.

"Come on, come on, little ones, come and kowtow. If you kowtow too late, you won't get any lucky money!"

"I knock, I knock"

As soon as Grandma Wu Juying called out, little Dou'er ran in first, fell to his knees and kowtowed.

"Happy New Year, Grandpa, Happy New Year, Grandma, Happy New Year, Grandpa, Happy New Year, Grandma, Happy New Year, Dad, Happy New Year, Second Aunt, Happy New Year, Third Aunt, Happy New Year, Little Aunt"

"Hahahaha~"

Xiao Dou'er knelt on the ground, not caring whether there was anyone in front of him or not. He just kowtowed and changed the way he addressed people while kowtowing, which made everyone around him laugh.

But when she called out to the whole family, everyone was surprised.

She is only two years old! She already knows that there are two "grandmothers" at home, Fu Guiru and Han Chunmei? And she even mentions Fu Yiru, Li Juan and Li Ying. She really doesn't miss a single one.

After she kowtowed, she remained kneeling on the ground and refused to get up. She stared at everyone with her bright eyes, obviously waiting for everyone's New Year's money.

"Hahahaha, who do you think she learned this from?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely not Xiaoyu who taught me."

"Hiss, is our family going to have another top female scholar? This is too smart."

Wen Leyu has always been generous. She is not the kind of daughter-in-law who instigates her children to "generate income" everywhere to make money. So when faced with Xiaodou'er's performance, she can only explain it by saying that he has been smart since he was young.

Compared to her, Xiao Youan and Xiao Baoer were much more naive. They kowtowed loudly, but their words were obviously not fluent enough.

More importantly, after receiving the New Year's money, Xiao Baoer took the initiative to give it to Wen Leyu, and Xiao Youan followed suit and gave it to Han Chunmei.

Wen Leyu looked at Xiaodouer coldly.

Among the three children in the family, only Xiaodouer knows the use of money, so she is the most important person to supervise. The other two children will not spend the money even if they are given it.

When Xiao Dou'er saw Wen Leyu's cold eyes, his bright eyes blinked, and he suddenly turned around and ran towards Fu Guiru.

"Grandma, please save it for me and give it to me when I buy candied haws or ice cream."

"Hahahaha~"

Everyone burst into laughter, even Wen Leyu laughed.

Because no matter who gets the New Year's money, it will definitely be given to Wen Leyu in the end, except Fu Guiru.

She dotes on her two grandsons and granddaughter very much. Even though Wen Leyu objects, she still wants to give the candied haws ice cream to her granddaughters.

Sister Fu Yiru smiled and quietly asked Li Ye: "Brother, did you tell Xiaodouer that mom is the most powerful in this family?"

"Shh, don't talk nonsense."

In terms of seniority in this family, Li Zhongfa and Wu Juying are of course the oldest, but in terms of face, it has to be Fu Guiru. After all, Wen Leyu has to give this mother-in-law some face.

Some children are very sensitive. They may not understand the various reasons adults talk about when they quarrel, but they can tell who is "giving in". When everyone in the family gives face to Fu Guiru, the children will think that Fu Guiru is the boss of the family.

"Didi-di-di-di-di~"

Li Ye's mobile phone suddenly rang.

Li Ye picked up the phone and heard it was Lu Zhizhang calling.

Lu Zhizhang was on duty at the factory today, and Li Ye suddenly felt uneasy.

"Old Lu, what's the matter?"

"Li Ye, please come to Haidian Hospital! An employee jumped off a building and I think Niu Hongzhang will be here soon. It may not be appropriate if you are not there."

"Haidian Hospital? Okay, I'll be there right away."

Li Ye hung up the phone, put on his clothes and left.

Wen Leyu hurriedly asked, "What happened? Something happened in the factory?"

Li Ye said: "It's okay, something happened in the dormitory area of ​​the factory. It has nothing to do with production. It's just a family matter of the employees."

"Oh~"

Wen Leyu, Li Zhongfa and others all breathed a sigh of relief.

There were people working overtime in the first branch during the Spring Festival. If a production accident occurred during production, it would definitely be a trouble. However, the management would not take any responsibility for the family matters in the dormitory area.

. . . . . . . . .

There were few cars on the streets of Beijing on New Year's Eve. Li Ye drove very fast and soon arrived at Haidian Hospital.

When Li Ye arrived at the hospital, Lu Zhizhang was already waiting for him in the outpatient building.

"Old Lu, what's the situation?"

"Let's talk as we walk!" Lu Zhizhang led Li Ye inside while narrating, "I have just arrived and don't know much about it. I only know that this afternoon, Wang Dazhen from the foundry workshop had a fierce quarrel with his girlfriend at home.

At that time, the neighbors went over to persuade them to stop, but they started quarreling again at night. During the quarrel, Wang Dazhen jumped from the fourth floor. Although his life is not in danger, he was seriously injured and is undergoing surgery! "

"Wang Dazhen? Why did he jump off the building?"

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, his face looking a little strange.

This Wang Dazhen was the manager of the small screening room not long ago. Because he was stupid enough to follow Lai Jiayi's orders and did not take Li Ye's note seriously, Li Ye sent him to the fourth workshop to work as a foundry worker.

And now he actually jumped off the building. Could it be related to Li Ye?
Lu Zhizhang said: "I asked several of Wang Dazhen's neighbors. Because Wang Dazhen's wife Li Weihua did not allow his three children to go to their grandfather's house with Wang Dazhen for the New Year, the two had a quarrel and smashed the house to pieces."

"Oh~"

This reason obviously has nothing to do with Li Ye.

Of course, even if it has something to do with Li Ye, Li Ye will not feel guilty.

If he can't even employ a single worker, what's the point of running this factory? Is it just a decoration?
This society is a society of mutual control. Li Ye now controls the fate of many people. It is not surprising that things can go well or bad in a moment's thought.

When Li Ye arrived at the door of the operating room, he found that many employees from the factory were there, including those from the security department and the trade union. In addition, there were three children surrounding a woman, who should be Wang Dazheng's wife and children.

Li Ye saw tears on their faces and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

They are obviously the closest people, but they have to make things like this. Why do they have to do this?

Li Ye asked softly: "Have you notified Wang Dazhen's parents?"

"No, don't inform his parents."

As soon as Li Ye finished speaking, Wang Dazhen's wife Li Weihua rushed over and pleaded with Li Ye: "Director Li, please don't notify Dazhen's parents, please."

Li Ye frowned and said, "Such a big thing has happened. It is impossible not to let the family know. The company must consider the safety of the employees."

Forcing someone to jump off a building is something that should have the police involved. If even Wang Dazheng's parents don't come, the factory can't take this responsibility.

"No, no, no, my parents-in-law never care about Dazhen. They only want money from us. All the money we earned in the past two years was taken away by them. Otherwise, Dazhen wouldn't have gotten into trouble today."

"Please sit down for a while and let's discuss it before deciding."

Li Ye persuaded Li Weihua to go aside, then talked to several of Wang Dazheng's neighbors to find out the situation, and secretly sent someone to notify Wang Dazheng's parents.

"Li Weihua always puts Wang Dazhen ahead of him. But Wang Dazhen is a coward and a fool. His salary is twice as high as Li Weihua's, but he is still bullied by his wife and cannot even raise his head."

"This year, Wang Dazhen's younger brother was getting married and needed Wang Dazhen to raise 2,000 yuan. Li Weihua kept stopping him from giving it. Later, when our factory distributed year-end bonuses, Wang Dazhen held back and didn't give any to Li Weihua.
Li Weihua was worried that if she didn’t celebrate the New Year today, her year-end bonus would be gone, so she didn’t allow her children to celebrate the New Year with Wang Dazhen. In fact, Dazhen’s salary also subsidized his parents-in-law’s family a lot.”

"Wang Dazhen knelt down in front of his wife and children, but they refused to follow him. He suddenly felt that life was meaningless."

After listening to the stories told by several neighbors, Li Ye immediately understood what was going on.

This is a typical tragedy caused by "using children as weapons."

Wang Dazhen and Li Weihua used to work in the main factory, and their salaries were almost the same. Li Weihua was the boss of the family, so it was normal for her to be more dominant.

But this balance was broken when Wang Dazheng was transferred to a branch factory and his salary was twice as high as Li Weihua's.

However, Li Weihua, who was used to being the boss at home, was unwilling to give in, so she used some shady tactics to make trouble with Wang Dazheng.

Li Ye had seen many such situations in his previous life.

The family status of both men and women is easily affected by the strength of both parties. You earn more money, I am beautiful, you are hardworking, I am gentle and considerate, all of which will become decisive factors.

However, if one side is at an overall disadvantage and is unwilling to lose the initiative, it will easily resort to some unconventional tactics.

For example, not letting the other person go to bed, not letting the children see their grandparents, not letting the children go home for the New Year, whatever makes it awkward, until the balance between the two sides is restored.

Especially the one who is usually dominant at home can easily mislead the children at home.

For example, if one party is dominant and forces the other party to give in all day long, the children will think that the dominant person is right.

Because if she is not right, how can the other party give in?

This is actually PUA.

Originally, Li Weihua had Wang Dazhen under control, but she went too far and was met with fierce resistance from Wang Dazhen.

At this time, Li Weihua obviously did not want to give in because she had the support of her three children.

Unexpectedly, this led to Wang Dazheng's collapse, which led to this tragedy.

"The operation is over, Wang Dazhen is out."

Someone called out softly, attracting Li Ye and others back.

Li Ye and others hurried to the operating room door, but found that Li Weihua had already rushed to the side of the operating cart.

"Dazhen, don't inform your parents in advance! Otherwise they will be worried during the New Year."

Seeing Li Weihua brainwashing her husband who had just undergone surgery, Li Ye felt so angry that his teeth were itching.

But what made him even more speechless was that Wang Dazheng actually agreed.

[You deserve to be used by others all day long! ]
