Chapter 9

After returning from his hometown, Niaoshan Village, everything returned to its original track

With the generous support of her brother and sister-in-law, Bai Liyuan got the money she wanted

After paying the sponsorship fee, Bai Liyuan's only son Shitou also returned to his original school to continue his interrupted school.

Of course, Xiao Shitou would not know how much sadness and humiliation his mother experienced and what price she paid in order to get the sponsorship fee.

Shi Tou wouldn't understand why her mother, who had been home after a day and a night, had an unconcealed fatigue and sadness on her face, and why she locked herself in the bathroom that night, washed herself and didn't come out for a long time.

Stone knows nothing

When he woke up the next day, he only saw his neatly dressed mother and the breakfast cooked for him. Her eyes were gentle and firm, her smile was beautiful and hee, and her tone of speaking was as soft as her mother had always been.

This is how my mother looks like since Shi Tou became sensible

Everything has not changed, everything is still so beautiful

Although dad is gone, mom is still there

With mom here, this is home

With mother here, life can continue as usual

……

Shi Tou thinks so, he lives like this, he is originally a child with simple minds

But children can be simple, mothers can't be simple

Especially in this complex world, it is difficult to survive simply

If Bai Liyuan could still keep her simplicity within a certain range before her husband Gao Song passed away, Bai Liyuan now has no reason to make herself simple

This trip to Toriyama Village also proves this nakedly. In the face of violence and barbarity, Bai Liyuan's simplicity is irresistible, and even her closest brother and sister-in-law cannot provide her with shelter.

Survival requires food, house, money... Sometimes it also requires some wisdom and strength, which are not something that simple people can deal with.

Bai Liyuan can no longer be simple, no longer simple

But she still lacks the things she needs to survive, especially the money

The funding of my brother and sister-in-law can only solve the urgent problem, and there is only a lot left after paying the sponsorship fee for my son's school.

Sangang Company's pension has been delayed for 2 months. Bai Liyuan has been looking for the Finance Department several times, but although the other party has a good attitude, Bai Liyuan has been waiting for peace of mind, but the money has not been paid in the end.

There are many other situations like Bai Liyuan. Most of the dozens of families in the dormitory where she lives have not received any salary. Most of the employees of Sangang Company have been owed more than half a year.

The reason is not difficult to find, and many people know it well

The years at the end of the century were the most difficult years for the country's economy. Especially the state-owned enterprises, as the eldest son of the Republic, have become particularly weak and helpless in the face of the impact of the international economic crisis due to their large number of politicians and social responsibilities.

Local state-owned enterprises with large scale and many employees are affected even more severely.

The recession of the international economy directly led to a large shrinkage of foreign trade and indirectly led to a decrease in ocean shipping volume. Most of the business revenue of Sangang Company comes from this largest port in the Far East.

When the port is in a downturn, the company's business will begin to decline. When the business falls, the company's financial situation will deteriorate, and eventually the employees' wages will not be paid.

There were many state-owned enterprises like Sangang Company at that time. Their poor operating conditions directly affected the financial security of banks and other institutions, thus ultimately endangering the overall economy and politics of the country.

Against this background, the leader who was known as the most capable and iron-fisted at the time aimed at the main lifeline of the crisis, took his hands and put medicine against him, and started a very far-reaching reform with a fast knife to cut the mess.

This reform not only changed the fate of many state-owned enterprises, but also changed the life fortunes of more state-owned enterprise employees and their families.

Sangang Company, located in Huaihai City, is currently in the whirlpool of this change. Due to the characteristics of its industry, Sangang Company has particularly many employees. In order to achieve the purpose of reducing employees and increasing efficiency, it is inevitable that a large number of employees will be laid off and diverted.

The national policies and enterprise measures are like boiling a frog in warm water. It often has to wait until the water is hot before the bottom layer can feel it.

The wage arrears are just the first manifestation of rising water temperatures, but they have made these workers at the bottom of the ranks restless.

They are all ordinary working class, most of them are men working, women do housework and take care of children, and their lives rely solely on the men's salary. Now that the salary has not been paid, the family's savings are about to bottom out, and family conflicts are emerging more and more.

For families like this, men work outside most of the time. Except for three meals a day and at home at night, the only ones at home at other times are their wives and children. Although men leave most of the time, they just pay their wages and household expenses on time and do not have sex with men and women outside, the women in their family will not be too concerned. Those with a little bit of affair will turn a blind eye, and the family will be harmonious and harmonious.

Now, things have begun to change. Due to the decrease in the workload of the company, men have been staying at home for a long time. The man who had not seen a few hours a day now looks up and sees him. Those little problems that can be ignored are now taken in the eyes of women one by one, and the conflicts between husband and wife are becoming more and more obvious.

These factors are further magnified by the small dormitory of Sangang Company. The closer the distance between people, the easier it is to have conflicts. What's more, in this depressing atmosphere, over time, everyone's heart is full of fire, and everyone wants to vent it.

At first, the women in charge of housework began to complain quietly because they were unable to make ends meet. The men who were originally the pillars of the family are not so confident now. Some of them are sloppy and pretend not to see them, but more of them are still maintaining their original temper habits. Once these two types of people collided, Mars would soon brew a family storm against Mars.

Men with advantages in physical strength and physical shape are usually winners in family storms. Women who usually have the advantage of verbally are unwilling to admit defeat after being beaten and suffer losses. Women with more introverted personality exude anger on their children. Children are unwilling to be angry and cry loudly. Those women with more violent personalities open their voices after being beaten and cry loudly, as if they are going to shake the entire building down.

At the beginning, many neighbors would come to persuade and persuade these neighbors. After all, all the residents here are colleagues, and they are class brothers who look up and look down. Usually, everyone comes and goes back and forth and gets along very well.

But after a long time, the people who persuaded to reconcile found that there were too many family disputes in the whole dormitory building. From time to time, a marche came up and a chorus came downstairs, with ups and downs, rising and falling, appearing randomly like a symphony orchestra with a slack conductor. There was no rules. The neighbors who persuaded to reconcile were exhausted and their mouths were dry. They were exhausted. Even their own family caught fire in the backyard, so in the end, everyone gave up.

Go what you should do, and who cares about his own affairs

In this way, in the dormitory building of Sangang Company, every day, there was a farce of joy, joy and anger.

At the center of this theater, Bai Liyuan and her son are like two small boats in the vast ocean. They can only be tied together tightly and try to withstand the bumps of the wind and waves.

Bai Liyuan has never been a woman who likes to get involved in the fun. The only thing she cares about and cares about is her son. She is afraid that something will happen to the stone. Except for going to school and going out for groceries, she locks herself and her son in that small dormitory at other times, cooking vegetables and cooking for her son, and studying with her son.

If this does not, although the risk of being involved in the external situation will be reduced, it will also limit Bai Liyuan's activity space.

Although his son was very serious and cooperated to study at home, Bai Liyuan could not get any funding from the outside world while sitting like this, and he didn't get the pension, so he was squandered. Seeing that his brother and sister-in-law's support was about to be used up, Bai Liyuan seemed to be nothing on the surface, but was extremely worried in her heart

This is how things happen in the world are. Just when Bai Liyuan was worried, a good news unexpectedly appeared, and someone brought the good news to her door.

People who deliver good news to their door are no strangers. He is an old acquaintance of the Gao family. Cheng Yang, the apprentice of the deceased husband Gao Song, has always appeared with a passionate and positive attitude. With his solid and steady face, a wise mouth, and a pair of hands that can repair circuits and pass pipelines, he is very popular with Gao Song's family. He is also one of the few adult men who can often go to and from the Gao family.

It is precisely because of this that during the period after the death of his deceased husband Gao Song, Cheng Yang was able to open the door of Bai Liyuan, who had always been chaste and self-confident, and welcome him to the home.

Cheng Yang did not disappoint Bai Liyuan. As soon as he arrived at home, he ignited the atmosphere. While talking about his experiences on business trips across the country, he was having fun with Shi Tou, which added a lot of fun and vitality to this usually quiet home, sweeping away the dullness of the past

Although Bai Liyuan treats men other than her husband coldly and does not slander, Cheng Yang is different from others. He is an apprentice who has close contact with her husband during his lifetime. He has always been very enthusiastic and thoughtful to the Gao family. Bai Liyuan doesn't treat him and treats her as a younger generation. Although Cheng Yang is only 4 years younger than her, she is only 4 years younger than her.

While Cheng Yang and Shi Tou were having fun together, Bai Liyuan quickly cooked 2 bowls of fragrant Yangchun noodles. Although she usually saved money, she specially added two fried eggs to Yangchun noodles this time and brought them to Cheng Yang and Shi Tou as snacks.

On the one hand, it is the need to entertain guests, and on the other hand, it is also thanks Cheng Yang for his good intentions. In this turbulent environment, Cheng Yang's appearance undoubtedly gives Bai Liyuan and Shi Tou a unique support.

Moreover, Cheng Yang was not as coveted as those men outside, and he did not show any obvious sense of motivation and purpose, which made Bai Liyuan feel safe and at ease.

Bai Liyuan didn't know that when she turned around and was busy with the stove, Cheng Yang occasionally glanced at her back.

On that day, Bai Liyuan wore a white shirt and a suit. The suit she cut with her hands was very fit, which made the slender waist look extremely attractive, making Cheng Yang's seemingly honest eyes unable to control, and he ran towards his slender waist like a wild horse, lingering on it.

Bai Liyuan knew nothing about the eyes behind her. She quickly picked up the noodles, put them in two big and small bowls, and delivered them to the two men.

Cheng Yang didn't refuse, and took the bowl with peace of mind and started eating. Shi Tou rarely gets the opportunity to add food. At this time, he was even more ecstatic. He picked up the bowl and ate the noodles to his mouth.

Bai Liyuan sat down next to her, stretched out her thin white and soft hands, gently stroked her son's back, and said lovingly:

Eat stone slowly, don't choke

Her long black and smooth hair tied into a ponytail behind her head. Although she was not covered with makeup, her natural beauty was as beautiful as a lotus, which made Cheng Yang couldn't help but look up from time to time and glance at Bai Liyuan's face while eating noodles.

Bai Liyuan did not notice Cheng Yang's actions, nor did she understand the meaning behind his actions. She just took care of her son while chatting with Cheng Yang.

The content of the chat is very simple, basically it revolves around the ups and downs of Sangang Company, especially Bai Liyuan is most concerned about the pension issue.

Regarding the most concerned questions Bai Liyuan was asked, Cheng Yang answered them one by one from the perspective he knew, because he had just transferred his position recently and was transferred to the general manager's office from the original position of the purchaser, replacing Xiao Zhou who was transferred before, and serving as a driver and life secretary to the general manager Lu Jiang, so Cheng Yang does have a way to respond to what Bai Liyuan is concerned about.

The situation of Sangang Company is just like the rumor, in a very bad situation. Before the external environment is significantly improved, the benefits of large state-owned enterprises cannot be reversed in a short period of time. The only thing that can be done at present is to reduce staff and increase efficiency.

According to Cheng Yang, about 40% of the employees in the company will be simplified and laid off. The word laid off sounds nice, but it actually means unemployment.

In the original state-owned enterprise system, workers and management are all state employees, and a lifelong employment system is implemented. There is no such thing as unemployment in state-owned enterprises, so the outside world calls state-owned enterprise workers Iron Rice Bowl

But who would have thought that the waves of the times came so quickly and that the original iron rice bowl would be broken.

Bai Liyuan doesn't know much about national policies and corporate management. She vaguely felt that the few words Cheng Yang said were understatement that there might be a large number of employees who would lose their jobs, wages, and the ability to support their families, while the families behind them would fall into an insolvent dilemma.

Although I thought of this worry, this is not what Bai Liyuan is most concerned about. After all, Gao Song, the only one in her family who may have been laid off, has passed away, and it has nothing to do with Bai Liyuan when she is laid off.

Bai Liyuan’s only concern is Gao Song’s pension, because it is related to their family’s survival, Shi Tou’s schooling and future

But things are generally related. If the current economic situation of Sangang Company cannot improve, it will be difficult for Bai Liyuan's pension to be fulfilled in time. All this depends on the management of Sangang Company and on Cheng Yang's current boss Lu Jiang. Can he turn this situation around?

Cheng Yang saw Bai Liyuan's worries. He spent a lot of energy and lips to comfort the new widowed beauty, but the melancholy between Bai Liyuan's eyebrows did not fade away. So shortly after the bowl of noodles, when Cheng Yang had to get up to say goodbye, an unspeakable anxiety appeared on his face, just like Bai Liyuan's mood at this moment.

However, Bai Liyuan is anxious about the family's economic situation and the funds needed for her son's future, while Cheng Yang is anxious about how to open up the mental defense of this new beauty, and what is even more anxious about is the increasing pressure from the other side.

Bai Liyuan never expected that Cheng Yang came again the next day, and what he brought this time was really good news, real good news

Really? Mr. Lu needs my help to cut clothes. Did he say that?

When Bai Liyuan heard this news for the first time from Cheng Yang, she was not convinced. She was very interested in sewing since she was a child. She could sew the most popular fashions according to the pictures in magazines, and the effect was not bad. In the years since she married into the Gao family, Gao Song and Shi Tou's clothes were made by Bai Liyuan, which was both cost-effective and beautiful.

Moreover, Bai Liyuan is born with the best clothes rack. Those tailored clothes are no worse than the stars in the movie magazine when they are dressed in a concave and slender and soft figure.

Therefore, Bai Liyuan's hands have been known to all the workers' families in the dormitory of Shanghai SIPG. They all know inside and outside that the tall bearded wife has a pair of skilled hands, and the clothes they make are no worse than those bought on the market, so there are some nuisances between neighbors, and they all come to Bai Liyuan to do some work to do for Bai Liyuan.

In recent years, Bai Liyuan has mainly relied on this skill to collect some manual expenses to supplement her family. After Gao Song's death, this has also become her main source of income.

Although she is confident in her craftsmanship, the dormitory area of ​​Shanghai SIPG is all the working class from ordinary families. After all, only a few people come to customize clothes. Bai Liyuan never expected that Lu Jiang, as the company leader, would ask her to customize clothes, and the reward was quite high.

All this was too sudden, which made Bai Liyuan a little unbelievable. How could such a good thing fall on her?

If someone else brought the news, Bai Liyuan would definitely put a big question mark in her mind, but the person who brought the news was Cheng Yang, the most trusted apprentice of the deceased husband during his lifetime. Whether Gao Song was alive, he would always care about and take care of Bai Liyuan and his son.

In Bai Liyuan's heart, Cheng Yang has always been a sunny, kind and cheerful brother. He will definitely not deceive himself.

What's more, Bai Liyuan really needs to increase her income now. Cheng Yang's suggestion has become so timely and so tempting that Bai Liyuan has to accept it.

So two days later, Bai Liyuan took a cutting tool kit and sat in the Santana car driven by Cheng Yang and came to Lu Jiang's home in the suburbs.

SIPG owns a large amount of land in the riverside area, and a piece close to the city was enclosed early, building a workers' club and a nursing home, which is provided to SIPG employees as a benefit of state-owned enterprises.

But only a very few people know that in the small hill behind this sanatorium, there are also seven double-story villas with uniform styles. They have never been open to the outside world and cannot be used by the employees of Shanghai SIPG. In fact, it is the housing of the main leadership of the company. As the general manager of Shanghai SIPG, Lu Jiang's house is in the innermost, the largest one.

Although you can reach the bustling city in half an hour drive, there is a natural maple forest that separates it from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. It is a perfect place to be quiet in the midst of chaos.

Although she is a family member of a Sangang Company employee, Bai Liyuan has never been to this nursing home before, let alone the villa area after entering the nursing home. When she first entered this place, she was half curious, and her other half was even more nervous. If it weren't for the acquaintance of Cheng Yang, she would never dare to enter here.

If Cheng Yang had no choice but to send her to the door, Bai Liyuan had to face this brand new and strange house alone and the people inside the house.

With this uneasiness, Bai Liyuan rang the doorbell of the villa. Soon a middle-aged woman dressed in a simple manner and mediocre appearance came to open the door. Seeing her appearance and behavior were like a nanny from the Lu family, Bai Liyuan hung her usual kind smile and greeted her to explain her purpose.

The nanny of the Lu family didn't say anything, but just looked at Bai Liyuan with a cold look. It was obvious that the female tailor who came to the door for the first time had a different appearance than ordinary people, which made her unable to help but take a few more glances.

Bai Liyuan did not wear any makeup as usual, but just put her long black hair on the back of her head and tied her hair in a bun, but her white and smooth skin and bright and atmospheric facial features were enough to leave a deep impression on people.

Although Bai Liyuan is not a woman who likes to be arrogant, she was unable to meet the occasion and the people she met this time, so she took out her usual formal outfit that she rarely wore and put it on.

Her concave and slender figure was wrapped in a black suit skirt. This suit skirt was sewn by Bai Liyuan herself, which perfectly highlighted her proud figure. Especially the waist of the suit is not very obvious, which shows her slender waist very accurately without any trace.

The black suit is made of green fruit collar. The slender slanted neckline is baseted with a beige round-neck shirt, revealing only a long, white and slender neck, which looks dignified and elegant, but is enough to arouse people's imagination.

The length of the suit skirt just covers the knees, which is easy to walk but does not look old-fashioned. The width of the skirt is obviously enlarged, just covering up the plump and round curve below Bai Liyuan's crotch. The two slender calves exposed below the skirt are wrapped in skin-colored stockings. The black women's leather shoes on her feet are only 3 cm tall, but with her outstanding height and body proportions, she stands there similar to the models in the magazine. No wonder the nanny takes a few more glances.

Bai Liyuan saw that the villa was covered with water-milled floor tiles, and took back his actions of taking off his shoes. She followed the nanny step by step, passed through the long entrance, and walked into a spacious and bright living room. The high ceiling made the living room look very bright. The walls were decorated with various antique utensils. The large dark red leather sofas and the mahogany furniture were placed in it, which exceeded Bai Liyuan's understanding, but she could fully feel the rich atmosphere revealed in this family.

The long floor-to-ceiling window was only a gauze curtain. The sunlight after the warp curtain filtered became extremely gentle. It shone on a middle-aged woman sitting on a leather sofa. She was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt and a white pleated skirt, leaning on the sofa obliquely. Her posture was not relaxed or tight, and she always felt something strange.

The woman's hair was very long, but the color was dry and dull, as if the nutrients were sucked away by her body, but her face was pale as paper, and her limbs were as thin as skeletons. Even when the woman was wearing clothes, she felt light and fluffy underneath, as if she was purely supported by the air.

Although it was afternoon and the sun was burning, the woman was half open and half closed, as if she was sleeping, as if her soul was not in this body. Although the room was spacious and bright, because of the appearance of this woman, she suddenly became gloomy and chilly

The nanny walked up to the woman, leaned into her ear and said a few words. She looked at Bai Liyuan in the direction, then turned around and walked up the mahogany stairs next to the living room. She listened to the sound of footsteps gradually disappearing, but she said nothing, throwing Bai Liyuan and the woman directly into the living room.

Bai Liyuan stood there, a little embarrassed and at a loss. She didn't know the woman's name. She looked like she should be the hostess at home, but the nanny had not introduced her before. She didn't know whether she should say hello on her own initiative, nor did she know what to do next, so she had to froze halfway.

Bai Liyuan didn't say anything, and the woman didn't say anything. Her head was leaning against the armrest of the sofa. A pair of eyes with heavy bags were half open and half closed. I wonder if it was looking at people. This feeling made Bai Liyuan even more difficult.

After a moment of stiffness, Bai Liyuan felt a coldness behind her back and crawled up. You don’t have to turn your head and look at it. You must have had goose bumps on her skin at this moment. If it weren’t for the promise of Cheng Yang before, if the reward was really tempting, Bai Liyuan would have turned around and left at this moment.

However, the woman finally raised her head, or she finally woke up. When she saw the woman's front, she could probably tell that she was only over forty years old. In terms of her facial features, she looked quite upright and elegant, but the muscles on her face were atrophy, which could not hold back the slippage of her skin. She looked like a mummy after being dried. It was really terrifying.

At this moment, the mummy-like woman opened the skeleton's lusty eyes, and the weak eyes stared at the fresh and beautiful little woman in front of her, looking at the beautiful and tender little woman in front of her.

Although Bai Liyuan is nearly thirty years old and is not a young girl, due to her natural beauty and her husband's care after marriage, she is very fresh in her whole body, her skin is full and elastic, and there is no lack of collagen on her face. In addition, the natural charm added after childbirth, Bai Liyuan is like a flower that has been pollinated, and is at the peak of a woman's life.

One is tender and juicy, the other is shriveled and withered. Bai Liyuan and the middle-aged woman are in the same room, like flowers and bones are placed together. The contrast is very strong, and the contrast is particularly prominent.

The woman looked at it for a while and finally spoke

Let's sit

Her voice was as subtle as her face, but she had a slight and unspeakable sharpness.

Bai Liyuan forced a smile, nodded, and sat down on the farthest sofa. Although she sat down, half of her butt was hanging outside. This body posture exposed her inner thoughts. If it were not necessary, Bai Liyuan really wanted to stay away from this gloomy woman immediately.

After Bai Liyuan sat down, the woman stopped talking, but stared at her face with a pair of dead eyes, as if there was something worth exploring on it. Bai Liyuan sat upright with breath and looked straight. Although she didn't look at the woman, she could feel the touch of the woman's eyes exploring on her face.

The touch felt like the octopus stretched out more than a dozen tentacles and swam above. The suction cup of each tentacle was lying on it, soaking the cold and cold water on it into Bai Liyuan's skin, making her feel cold and uncomfortable all over.

In such an environment, Bai Liyuan felt uncomfortable every second as if she was standing on tiptoe on the needle. Although the woman didn't speak, her octopus-like eyes were more terrifying than any words. Bai Liyuan wanted to say something several times to warm up the atmosphere on the scene, but when she opened her mouth, she touched the cold and silence in the air, and she had to take back the words that were about to blurt out.

Bai Liyuan didn't say it, just looked at it a few times, and thought about it in her heart that although this woman looked quite terrifying, her clothes and body shape were not a servant of the Lu family, but her age did not look like Lu Jiang's children. Then the only possible answer is that she is Lu Jiang's wife or a relative of her sister's generation.

But no matter what, this woman is so weird, it is simply torment to be in the same room with her

Fortunately, Bai Liyuan's torture lasted for less than 5 minutes, and only the sound of footsteps came from the stairs, and a tall man walked down.

The man is nearly fifty years old, but his hair is not half white. He combed his big shiny back head back, a horse face and a high and straight hooked nose, which looks quite powerful.

His mouth was quite big, but his lips were thin in a line, and his chin raised out like granite, showing his extremely firm willpower and self-control. Two dark and thick eyebrows flew towards his temples like eagle wings. The eyes in the deep eye sockets seemed to be squinting, but the light emitted from it was extremely sharp and unstoppable, which was daunting.

Of course Bai Liyuan recognized this person. He was the male owner of this room and the service target for her to come to cut clothes this time. Lu Jiang, general manager of Sangang Company.

Today, Lu Jiang did not wear a suit and tie as usual in front of his employees, but just wore a striped home clothes. The outline of the body reflected by the thin fabric was quite clear. With his age and lifestyle, it was already very rare to maintain this figure.

Lu Jiang slowly walked down from the building with leather slippers under his feet. His steps were heavy and peaceful, and his expression was calm, as if a king was patrolling his territory.

After Lu Jiang went downstairs, he first walked to the woman on the sofa, leaned down and came over, and helped her to take care of her clothes intimately, as if the husband in love had done to his wife, and said softly:

I've been sitting for so long, are you tired? Should I let Auntie help you lie down and sleep for a while

Since Lu Jiang came down, his eyes immediately moved from Bai Liyuan to Lu Jiang. His originally cold eyes instantly became extremely hot. When Lu Jiang possessed and approached her, a few blush suddenly appeared on his pale face, as if Lu Jiang was her magic pill, which could regain her vitality in one go.

The woman nodded, shook her head again, and said in a subtle voice:

No, I'm not tired, I want to talk to you

The woman said, stretching out her hand to hold Lu Jiang's wrist

Lu Jiang smiled and raised his head, stood up again, and deliberately or unintentionally avoided the woman's hand. He seemed to have not seen the woman's words, and as if he was just saying nothing, he answered directly:

You are really tired, it is not okay to not rest. Be obedient and be good

Lu Jiang's tone of speaking was as gentle and patient as before, as if he was unconditionally satisfying his wife's good husband, but his words were in a different way. He did not look at the woman at all, but just raised his voice and shouted to the upstairs:

Aunt, help your wife to rest in the room

Hearing the sound, the nanny, who had been invisible before, seemed to have emerged from some corner, appeared in the living room in a few seconds. She was familiar with the passage of a wheelchair and quickly picked up the woman on the sofa, and placed it in the wheelchair to sit.

Bai Liyuan then realized that the legs under the woman's skirt were as thin as reeds, just like the arms of a three-year-old child. She then understood why the woman had been sitting on the sofa without moving, why her sitting posture looked so weird, why she always carried the cold breath of death on her body, it turned out that this woman was disabled and bad at work.

No, I don't want to rest, I want you to accompany me. Although the woman was in a wheelchair, she obviously was unwilling to accept this arrangement. She waved her arm as thin as a child, and made a faint protest from her mouth.

But Aunt was obviously experienced in this situation. She couldn't allow the woman to continue to express her anti-epidemic. She pushed the wheelchair and walked to a bedroom under the stairs. She quickly closed the door and separated the woman's protests behind the door.

Lu Jiang has been watching Auntie move, his face still had the gentle expression he had before. He was not impatient at all during the whole process, as if he had become accustomed to this way of handling it.

After the bedroom door was at no sound, Lu Jiang turned his head and looked at Bai Liyuan for the first time, with a smile on his lips:

Sorry, since my wife got sick, her temper has become a bit weird. If you are not considerate, you should take care of her.

As the general manager of Sangang Company, Lu Jiang managed tens of thousands of employees in his heyday. The employees always saw his majestic and solemn side. Bai Liyuan had fewer opportunities to contact him, so it was a bit flattered to see him so gentle and polite for the first time.

Bai Liyuan stood up when Lu Jiang went down the stairs. After witnessing the small episode between Lu Jiang and his wife, she had a positive comment on Lu Jiang. She felt that this man was very affectionate and loyal to her wife who had been ill and paralyzed for a long time. She was a very responsible man, and her impression score had increased a lot.

Now he talked to Lu Jiang in person. The approachable and humane side he showed further relaxed Bai Liyuan and calmed down her tight strings. So at this moment, she was not as uncomfortable as before, but could answer calmly:

Mr. Lu, you are polite, your wife is also very good, I thank you very much for asking me to do things

Lu Jiang nodded with a smile on his face, his originally majestic face also stretched, making him seem to be more than ten years younger, but the eagle-like gaze swept around Bai Liyuan inadvertently, and finally stopped on the extremely beautiful face. Bai Liyuan looked up at him at this moment, with a natural smile on her face. At such a close distance, the face without any makeup was so beautiful that even a person like Lu Jiang could not help but tremble, and his eyes were dull on the moving jade face, unable to move away.

At this time, there were only two people in the huge living room, Lu Jiang and Bai Liyuan, one man and one woman stood opposite each other. Although the two had no contact or language, they seemed a little abrupt under this situation.

Fortunately, Lu Jiang responded very quickly. Although he was a little lost, he quickly adjusted. His eyes quickly moved away, and his expression returned to his original seriousness. He nodded and said:

It's getting late, come with me

Bai Liyuan obviously did not notice the change in Lu Jiang's expression, and did not know the reason behind his change, but she was happy to start working as soon as possible, because that was the purpose of her coming here.

So, after hearing Lu Jiang's instructions, Bai Liyuan quickly picked up the canvas bag she brought, followed Lu Jiang's pace, and followed him into the room on the other side of the living room.
