The mother of the era is reborn to support her cannon fodder children!

Chapter 45 "The Third Party is Disgraceful"

Lin Zhao looked surprised, "So fast!"

Her usual expression was calm, yet she was always bright and charming, and her smile was as bright as the rays of a warm sun.

The gay man's heart was pounding.

He quickly looked away, cursing himself in his heart.

Stop jumping. Comrade Lin’s eldest child is already a bystander. Calm down. The third party is despicable.

This psychological preparation was indeed useful. The man calmed himself down and reminded him, "Comrade Lin, remember to register the license plate and pay the taxes."

"I know, thank you." Lin Zhao thanked with a smile.

"You're welcome. It's all my duty." Thinking that it was still working hours and Comrade Lin might not be available to pick up the car, the male comrade from the purchasing department said politely: "Come to me after get off work and I'll give you the car. I'm always there."

"Thank you." Lin Zhao had no candy in her hand, so she couldn't thank this enthusiastic comrade and planned to thank him tomorrow.

He said something to his colleague and walked briskly back to the counter.

Bicycles are in short supply and large items, tickets are hard to come by, and they are expensive. Anyone who buys one will be happy for several days.

Lin Zhao was in a good mood, and the smile on her lips didn't fade for a long time.

His attitude towards customers became better and better, he always smiled and spoke softly, which made the customers who were used to the salesperson's rolling eyes feel flattered.

The door curtain was suddenly lifted, and a ragged old man with a hunched back came in.

The old man's hands, rough as tree bark, tightly grasped the old bamboo basket. Beads of sweat streamed down his wrinkled face. He shrank at the threshold and dared not move forward.

Liu Chunhong was in a bad mood and disliked everything. When she saw a dirty and smelly old man standing at the door, she started to scold him.

"What are you doing? If you have nothing to do, get out! It stinks standing at the door. How can we serve customers like this?"

In fact, it was almost the end of the working day and no one came at all. She cursed and swore, but she was just looking for a way to vent her anger.

Li Fen thought her words were harsh, frowned, pointed at the slogan on the wall, and said bluntly:

"There's a huge sign on the wall saying 'No hitting or scolding customers'. Are you blind or illiterate?"

I just suffered a big loss at noon and forgot everything about it in the afternoon!

Stupid thing.

Liu Chunhong threw the towel she was using to wipe her sweat onto the counter and angrily said, "Who did I hit or scold? We've worked together for several years. I don't want to argue with you, and you shouldn't pick on me."

"I'm picking on you?" Li Fen laughed in anger. "Why don't you call the director over to help us sort things out?"

Liu Chunhong was furious. "Just be fair, I'm afraid of you!"

The two of them had a heated argument.

Wang Ju shrank her neck, took small steps, and hid behind Lin Zhao.

"..."

When Lin Zhao saw this scene, she suddenly remembered a sentence in the original book - the world is just a huge makeshift team.

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense.

The old man over there was shaking his hands and wanted to retreat, but when he looked at the eggs carefully protected by straw in the bamboo basket, he couldn't move his feet.

It is not easy for him to come to the county. If he cannot sell the eggs today, he will have to come again tomorrow. It is hot and the eggs cannot be kept and will go bad.

At this time, a clear voice sounded.

"Old man, please come here."

The old man's cloudy eyes lit up and he walked over.

Before I could say anything, I heard the salesperson say, "Old man, what do you want to buy?"

The old man's hands holding the bamboo basket were slightly tense, there was mud stuck in the cracks between his nails that could not be washed off, and the cracks on his knuckles were open.

"Little comrade, I'm not buying anything. I'm here to sell eggs. Will the supply and marketing cooperative accept them?" He asked nervously in his rural accent.

"Yes, I need to check the goods." Lin Zhao said in a kind manner.

She was a country girl, so naturally she wouldn't look down on the hardworking and simple working people.

The old man was relieved. He took a small piece of rag and wiped the bottom of the bamboo basket before putting it on the counter. "Little comrade, they are all fresh. There is not a single bad egg. My wife wiped them one by one with warm water. There is not a single piece of chicken droppings."

Afraid that the salesperson would not accept it, his eyes were flattering and humble, as if he was begging for help.

It's obvious that he makes money through hard work.

Lin Zhao felt a sour taste in her throat.

This generation has had a really hard life. They have experienced war and famine, and worked very hard, all for two words: to stay alive.

It's admirable, but also heartbreaking.

"They are very clean and big. One egg is 6 cents. Do you think the price is acceptable?" Lin Zhao was well aware of the supply and marketing cooperative's egg purchasing standards and quickly gave a quote.

Six points?

The old man rubbed his hands excitedly.

When Da Wa came to sell it before, he always got four cents, and if he was lucky, he would only get five cents. He had never sold it at a high price of six cents.

"Okay, okay." He nodded happily.

Fearing that Lin Zhao didn't understand the situation and had overpriced her, the old man said, "My dear, my eldest son often comes here to sell eggs. The previous purchase price was four or five cents. Did you remember it wrong?"

While speaking, he glanced at Liu Chunhong secretly.

His eldest son said that the person who collected the eggs was the chubbyest salesperson, probably the one who was as fierce as a goose.

Lin Zhao caught the old man's glance at Liu Chunhong, and she had some guesses in her mind. Her impression of Liu Chunhong also completely plummeted to the bottom.

He even takes away the working people's money. He has no conscience!

"I remember it correctly." Lin Zhao said, recording the acquisition details.

"Old man, an egg is six cents. You have twenty eggs here, so that's one dollar and two cents in total."

She pointed to the lower right corner of the purchase order and said, "If there are no problems, please sign this order. If you don't know how to sign, you can use your fingerprint."

The old man pressed his fingerprint without hesitation.

He trusts this girl.

Lin Zhao was stunned, and an unfamiliar emotion surged in his heart.

She used to think that being a salesperson was respectable and easy, but at this moment, being looked at with such trust by the old man, she realized that she also had a heavy responsibility on her shoulders.

He took out one dollar and two cents from the cash box and gave it to the old man.

The old man smiled, revealing his gums where several teeth had fallen out.

"Thank you, thank you, my daughter." He thanked her repeatedly, bowed to Lin Zhao, wrapped the money in layers of a handkerchief, and left the supply and marketing cooperative.

I earned a few more cents, and from now on I will let my eldest son sell eggs to my most beautiful daughter.

When Liu Chunhong saw Lin Zhao interfering and snatching away her only good opportunity, her eyes bulged like a frog.

"Lin Zhao, don't touch what you shouldn't touch, or you might end up losing everything." She warned coldly.

Lin Zhao looked puzzled and hummed in confusion. She then calmly countered, "In the supply and marketing cooperative, is Comrade Liu the only one who can collect eggs?"

Without waiting for Liu Chunhong to answer, she turned to look at Li Fen, "Sister Fen, is that so?"

She slapped her forehead in frustration and said ashamedly, "Director Jiang didn't say anything, and I didn't ask. It's my fault. I'll ask after get off work to avoid stepping on another iron plate."

Li Fen tried to hold back her laughter.

He caught a glimpse of Liu Chunhong's dark face and almost laughed out loud.

Well done!

"I haven't heard of it." She threw the boomerang of fate and hit Liu Chunhong directly between the eyebrows.

"Sister Liu, where did you hear this? I've been working at the supply and marketing cooperative for nearly five years, and I didn't know about this. Did I miss some important document?"

Ignoring Liu Chunhong's increasingly dark face, Li Fen smiled kindly, "Look at my memory, it's getting worse and worse. It seems I have to look through the various documents of our supply and marketing cooperative to avoid making such low-level mistakes in the future."

Liu Chunhong knew the truth about the egg incident, but she dared not let it come to light. If it did, she would lose her job.

Liu Chunhong was extremely panicked, but she didn't show it on her face. She just said, "There are no documents. I have been collecting eggs since I first came here. I've been used to it for so many years."

She added nonchalantly, "You can take it if you want."

He seemed to have no problem giving up the job of collecting eggs.

In fact, Liu Chunhong cared a lot about it.

My heart is bleeding.

For so many years, she had relied solely on kickbacks from collecting eggs, embezzling at least a thousand yuan. How could she not feel pain when she suddenly lost this income?

Because of this, Liu Chunhong completely hated Lin Zhao.

Ever since this country girl joined the supply and marketing cooperative, her dignity has been trampled upon, which really made her angry.

“Ding ding ding——!!”

The bell for the end of get off work rang.

Liu Chunhong packed up her things and left, her back showing anger.

The old employee who had a good relationship with her smiled at Lin Zhao and others and hurriedly followed them.

As soon as they left, Li Fen laughed out loud.

“Hahahaha, so refreshing!!”

She gave Lin Zhao a thumbs-up and said, "Comrade Lin, you really are this."

Wang Ju also looked at Lin Zhao with starry eyes. Comrade Lin is so powerful.

Lin Zhao looked puzzled.

How come it’s so awesome?

Isn’t this a basic operation? Just argue when you need to and ask when you have doubts. Otherwise, what’s the point of having a mouth?

Thinking about the new bicycle, Lin Zhao packed up her things quickly and then went to find her colleagues in the purchasing department.

"Comrade Lin, the one outside is yours." The young man pointed outside.

A brand new Phoenix bicycle was placed in the corner. It was a rare women's bicycle, so it was not too conspicuous.

"Thank you. I'm really sorry to bother you today." Lin Zhao said with a smile.

"Comrade Lin, you're too polite."

Daily question: Why do beautiful lesbians always get married early?

Lin Zhao went to the public security agency to register and license the car, and paid taxes and fees.

That's it.

She rode her bicycle home.

Fortunately, the weather was good and the wind was favorable, so the time to reach the team was shortened by half.

Lin Zhao rode her bike into the village. Before she reached her doorstep, she saw Yuanbao rushing towards her like a small firecracker.

"Aunt Lin, you bought a bicycle!" the child said excitedly.

I wanted to touch the bicycle, but I didn't dare.

Lin Zhao looked embarrassed.

The crisp word "Auntie" from this kid instantly turned her from an elegant and professional salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative into Cuihua at the village entrance. To be honest, if you call her "Auntie", you can even get two candies for free.

“Yes, I bought a bicycle.”

Yuanbao remembered something important, slapped his forehead, and said loudly: "Aunt Lin, the twins' grandmother lost a lot of blood, and the twins cried for a long time."

The smile in Lin Zhao's eyes instantly disappeared. She gave a candy to the child who delivered the message, jumped on her bicycle, and hurried to the old house.

There were quite a few people standing at the door of the Gu family.

They were whispering to each other.

Seeing Lin Zhao's figure, they all spoke up.

"Oh! Cheng Huai's wife, you bought a bicycle?!"

"Mother of the eldest son, you are finally back. Your mother-in-law has suffered so much."

"Your two kids' eyes are swollen from crying. Go in and take a look."

……

After listening carefully, Lin Zhao barely understood what had happened.

He pushed the cart through the crowd and quickly entered the gate of the old house.

There was no one in the yard, but I could vaguely hear sounds coming from the main house.

"Big cub! Little cub!" Lin Zhao parked the car and shouted.

In the room, the eldest and second cubs were guarding their mother, Gu. The two little brothers, who were smiling like little suns in the morning, were now like eggplants hit by frost, curled up on the edge of the bed with their heads drooped.

Suddenly, I heard my mother's voice.

The two brothers stood up at the same time and ran outside.

"Mom!" the eldest child cried out, throwing himself into Lin Zhao's arms, tears streaming down his face like beads from a broken string. "Mom, my breasts are bleeding so much."

At noon, as soon as Gu's mother stepped into the Lu family's kitchen, she tripped over something and fell forward. She was looking for support in a panic and hit the elm bench beside the door.

The legs of the bench shook violently, and the coarse porcelain bowls and plates piled on it exploded into pieces with a clang. She fell heavily into the pile of broken porcelain, with many bloody cuts on her body, and her clothes were stained red.

Because of this incident, Gu's mother was sent home by the people who went to the Lu family to help. When she came back, she was covered in blood and was seen by Dazi and others who were playing in the yard.

A group of naughty children were so frightened that they have not recovered yet.

As soon as the eldest and second cubs saw their mother, they cried out the fear that they had been holding back for most of the day.

Lin Zhao hugged the two cubs, patted their shoulders, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, mother is back. Come, take mother to see your grandmother."

The two brothers' eyelashes were wet, they wiped them away, sniffed, and took their mother to the main house.

The room was packed with people, including Gu's father, his sons and daughters-in-law, and even Bangbanglai's sister and children.

Mother Gu was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and nothing could be seen.

Lin Zhao could only ask, "How is Mother?"

"It's okay." Father Gu sighed, "The doctor said your mother is fine, she just lost some blood and needs to be nursed back to health."

Seeing that Father Gu was not in a good mood, Lin Zhao did not ask any more questions. While he was out getting some water, she went to find Zhao Liuniang and asked, "Second sister-in-law, what happened? How did Mother get hurt like this?"

It just happened in the Lu family, so it was hard for her not to think too much about it.

Lu Baozhen!!

Zhao Liuniang shook her head. "I don't know the details either."

She lowered her voice and said, "I heard from the captain's wife that my mother fell down just after entering the Lu family's kitchen. She accidentally bumped into a stool with dishes on it. The stool fell over and the dishes fell to the ground and broke into pieces. My mother fell on the broken pieces."

"When my mother was first sent back, she was covered in blood."

Lin Zhao's eyes turned slightly cold, and she said meaningfully, "What a coincidence."

"Yes, it's very unfortunate. The key is that people suffer." Zhao Liuniang sighed.

"Did Mom encounter anything strange before she fell?"

Zhao Liuniang didn't understand what she meant.

"Strange thing?" She thought about it and shook her head. "I haven't heard of it."

A raspy voice came from the bed, "...Nothing."

Hearing Mother Gu's voice, Father Gu rushed to the bedside and looked at her worriedly: "How are you?"

"It's okay, just take some time to recover." Mother Gu smiled with her pale lips.

He waved at Lin Zhao and the others, "I'm fine, you all go back and rest."

Father Gu also said: "Go, I will take care of your mother. I will call you if anything happens."

After the two heads of the family said this, Lin Zhao and others left.

Because of Gu's mother's injury, the Gu family was not so happy even though they got a new bicycle.

Lin Zhao took her four children back home.

Seeing that the eldest and second cubs were listless, she settled the twins and went back to the house to sort out the supplies.

Prepare twenty eggs, two pounds of pork, a bag of brown sugar, and a can of malted milk, put them in a bamboo basket, and hand them to the two boys.

"Big cub, second cub, take these things to the old house and tell them they are for your nanny to nourish her body."

Before her two sons could utter a single word, Lin Zhao continued, "With these good things to nourish your body, your grandmother will surely recover soon. If she doesn't, I'll take her to the county hospital."

When her mother-in-law's health improves, she will definitely ask carefully whether Lu Baozhen is involved in this.
