Chapter 428 I, Xu Damao, do good things without leaving my name
When Director Wang heard this, he knew that Xu Damao was up to no good.
One would not come to her for no reason, and Xu Damao came with eggs in his hand, so he must have something to ask of her.
But Director Wang is a very upright person, how could he accept Xu Damao's eggs?
Without waiting for Xu Damao to finish, Director Wang waved his hand and said, "I'm in good health and don't need any nutrition supplements. Go back if you have nothing else. I'm going to start working."
Xu Damao was not at all surprised by this, instead he smiled even more brightly.
"Look at what you said, Director Wang. To stay healthy, you need to replenish your nutrition. You..."
Director Wang raised his hand to stop Xu Damao from talking nonsense: "Just say what you want to say, don't talk so much nonsense."
"Hey, you know Jia Zhang, the woman in our courtyard."
Director Wang nodded and asked subconsciously: "What happened to her?"
She knew Jia Zhang from Courtyard No. 95 very well. She had heard of her name a long time ago. Director Wang had personally met her several times and found her to be indeed not an easy person to deal with.
But Yi Zhonghai has been removed from office now, so Jia Zhang shouldn’t dare to be too arrogant, right?
"Oh, she brought her whole family to my place yesterday to eat and drink for free. I asked her to give a gift money, but not only did she not give any money, she also slapped me in the face. Look at my face, it's still swollen!" Xu Damao immediately hung his face, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Director Wang couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.
No gift at a banquet?
For such a small matter, Xu Damao also wanted me to criticize and educate Jia Zhang?
"What do you want? Let me go to your courtyard and criticize you?"
Seeing this, Xu Damao quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, I am not a petty person. Although Jia Zhang came to my place to eat and drink for free, I think the main reason is that their family lives in too difficult a situation."
"You don't know that Jia Dongxu is the only one in the Jia family who works and earns money, and he was fined three months' salary by the factory. They came to my place because they really had nothing to eat."
"Their family's living conditions were already poor, and now they have a baby, so their life has become even more difficult. I am a kind-hearted person and I cannot bear to see others suffer so much."
What the hell?
After hearing this, Director Wang was a little confused.
Xu Damao said a lot of nonsense and actually started to feel sorry for the Jia family?
"Do you want me to organize some people to provide some help to their family?" Director Wang asked.
But Xu Damao waved his hand again: "As the old saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Helping their family is not a long-term solution."
After a pause, Xu Damao smiled again and said, "I think we should find another job for the Jia family. Jia Dongxu goes to work, Qin Huairu has to stay at home to feed the children, but Jia Zhangshi is idle at home. She is only in her forties this year, which is the right age to work."
"So, I would like to ask Director Wang to do me a favor and arrange a job for Jia Zhang. She has a bad temper and curses at people at every turn. She is also uneducated and will definitely not be able to complete a decent job. Why not let her pull a manure cart?"
"I heard that Old Li is always sick because of his old age. It would be better to let Jia Zhang take over. She is fat, big-eared, strong and has plenty of strength."
Let Jia Zhang pull the manure cart?
Director Wang was speechless after hearing this. She really thought Xu Damao was eager to find a job for Jia Zhang.
However, what Xu Damao said is not unreasonable.
The Jia family's conditions were indeed poor, and the only one who could earn money was fined three months' salary by the factory.
These days, ordinary people basically have no savings, and if they lose their income for a month, the whole family will go hungry.
After thinking for a while, Director Wang nodded and said, "Boy, you've gone through so much trouble to come up with this idea."
“Oh, it’s all my fault that I’m too enthusiastic and can’t bear to see my neighbors go hungry.” Xu Damao said with a smile.
"The Jia family is indeed in a difficult situation. Now there is another child in the family. Jia Zhangshi should indeed do her part to help."
As he spoke, Director Wang pointed to the eggs on the table.
"I will consider the matter, but you have to take the eggs. This is a matter of principle."
Seeing that Director Wang agreed, Xu Damao picked up the eggs without hesitation, but before leaving, he felt uneasy and reminded him, "Director Wang, you know me. I don't like to leave my name behind when I do good things, so you have to help keep the matter of finding a job for the Jia family a secret."
What bullshit about doing good deeds without leaving a name? Are you worried that Jia Zhang will cause trouble for you afterwards?
Director Wang did not point out Xu Damao's thoughts, but waved his hand casually, which was considered as his agreement.
Xu Damao finally felt relieved and left Director Wang's office happily.
After everyone from the street office came to work, Director Wang called a few clerks to hold a small meeting, mainly to discuss the problems of the Jia family.
I learned from the clerk that the Jia family did have a new baby some time ago, and Jia Dongxu had problems every now and then.
The day before yesterday, I heard that Jia Dongxu got into a big trouble and mortgaged his house.
After briefly understanding the situation, Director Wang asked about Old Li's condition.
Mr. Li is old and always sick, so he planned to resign and retire some time ago.
Well, it just so happens that we need some manpower here, so after discussing it, we decided to give the Jia family a job.
Pulling manure cart!
This job doesn't sound very respectable, and it's not very respectable to do it.
But there is one advantage: you only need to make two trips a day and you can get 15 yuan salary every month.
Overall, the working hours per day do not exceed three hours.
The hourly wage is higher than what Jia Dongxu, a regular employee, earns.
After finishing the work at hand, Director Wang took some time to visit Courtyard No. 95.
I stood at the door of Jia's house and knocked. It was Qin Huairu who opened the door.
"Where is your mother-in-law?" Director Wang asked.
When Qin Huairu saw that it was Director Wang who came, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
It’s over, it’s over. I’m here to find Jia Zhang.
Could it be that the street office knew about the freeloading incident yesterday?
There won’t be a fine, right?
"Director Wang... Director Wang, my mother-in-law hasn't gotten up yet. What do you want to talk to her about?" Qin Huairu asked tentatively.
Not up yet?
Director Wang couldn't help but frown.
It's already past ten in the morning, and Jia Zhang is still sleeping?
He is indeed a lazy person.
People in their forties live a more comfortable life than those in their sixties and seventies.
Without paying any more attention to Qin Huairu, Director Wang walked straight into the room, lifted the curtain and came to Jia Zhang's bedside.
"Jia Zhang! Jia Zhang!"
After shouting several times, Jia Zhang rubbed her eyes in a daze.
"Who is it? Why are you making so much noise so early in the morning?"
Jia Zhang was very angry when she was woken up, and she raised her hand to give the other person a big slap in the face.
