80s cannon fodder mother quit

◎Talk to her (two in one)◎

Zhang Lina and her mother-in-law were guarding the bottom entrance of the building. They had their backs to the corridor and their eyes fixed on the stairs below, staring at the people coming up from there.

Whenever they heard the slightest sound of footsteps on the stairs, they would become nervous, hold their breath, and not dare to move their eyes, hoping that the person who would come back was Yi Ting.

The family suffered such a great blow that Zhang Lina, who had time to quarrel with her mother-in-law the day before, now had almost no energy left.

The despair and helplessness of not knowing the outcome is like a sword hanging over your head, with no idea when it will fall and how it will take place.

They beg for help like this, I don't know whether they are praying for the sword to fall soon and the dust to settle, or hoping for some other turn of events and a ray of hope.

The two of them stood there in silence.

After a long while, Zhang Lina asked, "Mom, you really don't know what's going on? Didn't Fugui tell you?"

In the past, if Zhang Lina had asked questions in this protagonist-like, questioning tone, Mrs. Zhao would have exploded and jumped up to fight with her.

However, in the past few days, the two of them asked for help together, worked together for a cause, and received countless disappointments and contempt together. They unknowingly became each other's comfort.

Mrs. Zhao didn't even move her eyes, staring down, and replied: "No. You and Fugui are together every day, and he didn't tell you a word?"

Zhang Lina shook her head.

She has been thinking about doing business recently, but she doesn't want to give up her stable job like Xu Mengxue did, because that would be too uncertain. Seeing Sister Zhao working during the day and selling food after work, she was deeply inspired and planned to learn from her and buy some clothes to sell.

He was so focused on business that he naturally didn't notice anything unusual about Zhao Fugui.

Suddenly, she slapped her forehead and said, "So, I seem to have heard him mention it. He said that many people in the factory made a lot of money, and others asked him if he wanted to go."

Mrs. Zhao asked anxiously, "Did he agree?"

Zhang Lina shook her head: "I don't know."

Mrs. Zhao was so anxious that she slapped her thigh and stamped her feet: "How could you not know?"

Zhang Lina: "I just don't know. I know why I lied to you."

In the end, she also felt a little regretful. When she heard Zhao Fugui say this before, she didn't ask in detail. If she had asked, maybe they would at least know something now.

Old Lady Zhao tilted her head to look at Zhang Lina, feeling somewhat resentful. They all lived under the same roof, but she could hear her complaining about Fugui not making money, being muddle-headed all day, and not making progress.

Just thinking about it, when Fugui got into trouble, she begged for help from everyone and didn't run away when she encountered problems. The resentment of Mrs. Zhao was slightly relieved.

During this time, what made her feel most disappointed was her own Jin Xiu.

She also looked for Jin Xiu and asked her to ask her colleagues in the building if they knew anyone relevant who could help find out something. Jin Xiu made up an excuse and didn't show up.
