Chapter 454 The Beggar Is Still a Cripple (Please Subscribe for Monthly Pass)
The villagers laughed loudly and talked about the lively affairs of Deputy Factory Manager Li's house. Because the person involved was not present, they chatted more freely and unscrupulously.

However, they didn't know that the hero in their topic was hiding in the haystack behind them at the moment.

Hearing what everyone said about him, Deputy Director Li suddenly felt ashamed and angry.

He thought that he was the deputy director of the factory, and others must look at him with high regard, envy, respect, and even flattery.

But I didn't expect that these people would be so merciless when discussing it, and they would say whatever was unpleasant.

It turned out that in their hearts, I was such a wimp who was afraid of his wife?

Deputy Factory Manager Li felt that his heart was full of anger.

Unable to bear it any longer, he immediately got out of the haystack and shouted loudly: "What nonsense are you old women talking about! Who is afraid of his wife? Who is a wimp?"

"Clean your mouth!"

Everyone was frothing and talking vigorously, when they suddenly heard Deputy Director Li's voice, everyone was startled.

Suddenly a person jumped out from behind the haystack they were leaning against.

The man had hay all over his head, face, and body.

His clothes looked wet and dirty, full of dirt and grass clippings.

Li, who is usually clean and proud, has turned into this downcast and embarrassing appearance.

Everyone was a little curious and began to discuss in low voices.

"My God! It's actually Li You?"

"Why did Li You hide in the haystack? How could he be in such a mess?"

"It seems that what you said is indeed correct. Last night, the two of them 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 just got into the haystack!"

Everyone whispered, with different expressions.

After all, you can say anything when talking about people behind their backs, but you must not dare to say these things in front of the person concerned.

Those women suddenly looked embarrassed, not knowing what to say.

One of the women had a look of disdain on her face, and said in a low voice, "What we said is true! The whole village heard about the fight between you two, why don't we tell it!"

When everyone heard that the woman spoke first, they also began to speak.

"That's right! We all saw the female worker in your factory come to the village. She said it herself. You and her are friends. Didn't your daughter-in-law go to the rolling mill to make trouble? This can't be fake, can it? "

"Yes, Lao Li, you have to admit that you have done something wrong. If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. A good deed is a good man, but you don't admit it and scold us. This is your fault!"

"I've never seen someone who has done such a shameful thing be so confident!"

"It's all for you to play the role of your deputy factory manager in the factory. If you want to do this in our village, I won't buy it from you!"

"Do you think it's good to hide what happened in the factory? Our village has already spread it! Who doesn't know..."

A group of women said one sentence to you and one sentence to me, and they started talking in a hurry.

These words were like stones hitting Deputy Director Li on the head.

Immediately he was blindsided.

He has always thought that he is a deputy factory manager, high above the ground, and has a lot of face in the village, but he never expected that these people would look down on him secretly and spurn him so much.

Deputy Factory Manager Li trembled with anger, pointed at the neighbors and shouted, "You shrews, shrews!"

"What nonsense!"

"It's simply, it's unreasonable, unreasonable!!"

When the group of women heard this, they became even more annoyed.

His voice also rose.

"Li You, we usually call you the deputy factory director to be polite. To put it bluntly, we are not workers in your rolling mill. The rolling mill doesn't pay me wages, and we are not your workers. Take less from you. Overwhelm us with that swagger in the rolling mill!"

"Exactly! Now it's a new society, everyone is equal! You are said to be the deputy director of the factory, so what if you are the director of the factory? Aren't you the same people as us? Why do you scold us like that!"

"You are so powerful, why don't you go to your factory to lose your temper? What is there to prove to us women and old women!"

"Yes! I heard that you can't be the director of the factory, and you were cut off by a young man. You feel unhappy, right? If you are not happy, you should find someone who makes you unhappy! Why should you tell me? We are arguing!"

Although these rural women didn't have much to ask, but because they lived in the countryside all year round, they quarreled a lot among neighbors, mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and sister-in-law, so they naturally learned the ability to quarrel.

The one who knows how to speak the most is the most irritating, and the one who can best poke people's pain.

Plus a woman is tough enough, and now it's a group of women, a group of quarrelsome and annoying rural women.

Deputy Factory Manager Li is a man, and he is already at a loss, so how could he be their opponent?

After two rounds, Deputy Director Li was so angry that his whole body trembled and his face turned green.

He could only repeat one sentence: "Unreasonable! Unreasonable!"

Then he ran away.

Seeing the limping back of Deputy Factory Manager Li leaving in a hurry, all the village women felt like they had won a good battle.

I am very proud, and I am more happy to talk about it.

But Deputy Factory Manager Li couldn't go back home, so he had to go to the rolling mill in such a state of embarrassment.

I thought that fortunately my home is not very far from the rolling mill, usually only about 10 minutes away.

There is still a set of clean clothes in the office, so hurry to the office and change the clothes.

However, he still thought of it simply.

The 10-minute journey he estimated was based on the speed at which he went to work when he was not injured on weekdays.

But he usually rides a bicycle to work, and the concept of riding a bicycle for 10 minutes is completely different from walking for 10 minutes.

It takes 10 minutes to ride a bicycle, and at least half an hour to walk.

What's more, the current deputy factory director Li is not in good health.

One of his legs was broken, and he still had to wear crutches with both hands. It was much more difficult for him to walk than ordinary people.

It usually takes half an hour to walk, but now it feels very far away.

The one who walked straight was sweating all over his body, and he only walked half the distance.

Deputy Factory Manager Li was panting heavily as he walked.

I said silently in my heart: Persist again, persist again!When you get to the factory, you can change your clothes!

However, although there is nothing wrong with Deputy Factory Manager Li's idea of ​​rushing to the factory office to change clothes, he ignores a very important point.

That is-

During the journey from his home to the factory, he would also meet acquaintances.

For example, at this moment, Deputy Director Li was walking on the road with difficulty, but there were strange eyes all around him.

From time to time, workers passing by pointed at the difficult back of Deputy Director Li.

Secretly laughing and discussing.

For some good things, he even greeted Deputy Factory Manager 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 down? Why are you covered in mud and grass clippings?"

"Who hit you?"

"Isn't it too harsh for anyone to do this? How dare you beat Deputy Director Li like this?"

Hearing the scrutinizing eyes of people passing by from time to time, deputy factory manager Li felt extremely ashamed, and the inquiries from people he knew made him even more at a loss as to what to say.

What should he say?
Said that he was kicked out of the house by his wife?Sleeping in the haystack all night by yourself?

If someone asks the reason for the quarrel again, how should he answer?
Said it was because of how many chickens?As a dignified deputy factory manager, in the heart of my daughter-in-law, he is not as important as a chicken.

Deputy Factory Manager Li just felt ashamed to face people. If there was a crack in the ground at this time, Deputy Factory Manager Li would definitely slip in without hesitation.

He really didn't want to face people's inquiries.

At this time, Deputy Factory Manager Li regretted his decision very much.

Even if you fight with your wife, you have to go back and change your clothes.

Such a commotion will not only lose face in the village and be laughed at by others, but even the workers in the rolling mill will spread the news of their misery soon.

However, I have already come here, and it is too late to regret.

After all, if you go home to change your clothes now, it will take longer than going to the 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 arrived at the 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 to work.

The factory gate gradually became quiet, and the security department was also idle.

Several workers from the security department gathered together, smoking and chatting.

When it came to what topic, several people laughed and laughed.

While chatting, one of them looked in one direction and said impatiently: "Where is this beggar, why did you come to our rolling mill to beg for food? You don't have eyes!"

And a tall and thin worker next to him, who just came to the security department of the steel rolling mill, followed the crowd to take a look and said, "Why is this beggar still a lame man? It's quite pitiful to come out begging on crutches. Give him the remaining half of the cornbread!"

"It was done by Huazi, it looks really dirty!"

As they talked, the 'beggar' got closer and closer.

The tall and thin worker also came over with the half of the cornbread, and shouted loudly: "Hey! Beggar! Come here and give you half of the cornbread!"

When the 'beggar' heard this, he paused and seemed to be taken aback for a moment.

Then, turning and turning, he quickly moved towards the door.

A few workers from the security department joked, "Yo! This beggar can walk fast enough when he hears that there is food~"

"That's right, it seems that I'm really hungry!"

The 'beggar' got closer and closer, and there was only a dozen meters away from the factory gate.

Something was wrong with the workers in the security department.

"This 'beggar'...why does he look like the work clothes of their rolling mill??"

"How do I look at it, is Huazi so familiar??? I seem to have seen it somewhere?"

Several people looked at each other, rubbed their eyes, and looked over hard.

The "beggar" in the eyes of the workers in the security department is none other than the deputy director of the factory, Li You.

When Li You heard that the workers in the security department called him a beggar and said he would give him half a cornbread, he was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe and passed out.

There seemed to be a flame burning in his heart, and it was about to burn his internal organs.

Leaning on crutches with both hands, he walked faster.

When they arrived at the gate of the rolling mill, the workers from the security department could see clearly that the person they were teasing, who was not a beggar, was clearly the deputy director of their rolling mill!

Immediately, their expressions changed, and they hurried away.

I'm afraid that deputy factory manager Li will find them bad luck.

Only the tall and thin worker was left standing there blankly, holding the half cornbread in his hand that was going to be given to the 'beggar'.

Deputy Factory Manager Li leaned on crutches and walked up to the tall and thin worker.

Two clusters of flames were burning in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and asked: "You just said, what do you want to give me?!"

The tall and thin worker came back to his senses, quickly hid half of the cornbread behind his back, and said, "It's nothing~! You, you misheard Deputy Director Li~!"

Deputy Factory Manager Li snorted heavily, and said, "If your eyes are useless, just dig them up and throw them away!"

"Shut up if you can't speak, talk nonsense! I think you are a beggar!"

After Deputy Factory Manager Li finished speaking, the tall, thin worker nodded his head in agreement.

Deputy Factory Manager Li leaned on crutches and walked into the factory.

When Deputy Factory Manager Li walked away, the workers from the security department who ran away just now came back and surrounded the tall and thin worker.

The tall and thin worker stuffed the half cornbread into his mouth angrily, and said, "I'm really nosy, well, this offended the deputy factory manager!"

A few people next to him comforted him and said, "How can I blame you! So many of us didn't recognize that it was Deputy Director Li!"

"That's right, with his appearance, if he hadn't come close, who would have recognized him!"

"The clothes are dirty, full of mud and weeds, how many people can recognize them! If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself. How did you make it look like this!"

"That's right! It looks exactly like a beggar!"

The tall and thin worker still had a gloomy expression on his face, and said: "But this is Deputy Factory Manager Li, who is notoriously narrow-minded. I offended him today, and he will wear shoes for me at some point!"

Another worker comforted the tall, thin worker and said, "You don't have to be upset. The current deputy factory director Li is no longer the former deputy factory director Li. In the past, in our factory, the factory director didn't come, and the deputy factory director Li was alone." People cover the sky with one hand, they want to scold whoever they want, and they want to fire whoever they want, but now, the sky has changed!"

Hearing this, the tall and thin worker was a little puzzled, and asked, "The sky has changed? What do you mean by that?"
