There are many unsatisfactory things in life, and it is the normal state of life to encounter hardships and difficulties. However, in the face of difficulties, how to get rid of misfortunes, turn disadvantages into advantages, and turn disasters into auspiciousness is also a test of a person's wisdom and mentality.

Xiao Yao's experience during this period of time, it can be said that none of them are wishful. He went to see Uncle Gu and wanted to know Xiao Ling's whereabouts, but Master Gu sternly refused, and ordered him to stop pestering Xiao Ling.

Master Gu's attitude made Xiao Yao's heart feel a lot more relieved, and the guilt in his heart for Xiao Ling was also released to a certain extent.

The heart is one inch wide, and the road is one foot wide. Xiao Yao didn't care about Uncle Gu's words and deeds, he didn't want to let himself have complaints everywhere.

If a person's heart is relaxed, he will be happy at any time. There are eight or nine unsatisfactory things in the world, people live for a lifetime, and they only seek peace of mind, so why bother too much? Although Xiao Yao can't be as wide as the sea, it is a wise choice to give up occasionally.

The desire is rootless, and the heart is wide and hateless. The good is extreme, and the strong is to blame. The famous words from "The Explanation of Doom" have a deep insight into the laws of life.

It means that people with strong desires are often unable to grasp themselves, while people with a big heart are not full of resentment. In other words, don't overdo what you like, and if you force something too much, there will be disaster.

Xiao Yao's abandonment showed a state of mind in his country, but Zhu Jiuyong's persistence brought him unexpected consequences. People are doing it, and the sky is watching. If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do.

Xiao's mother asked Xiao Wu to secretly investigate Zhu Jiuyong, and Xiao Wu returned to the factory after the five-day period stipulated by Xiao's mother. As soon as he entered the factory, he didn't see anyone, and went directly to Xiao's mother. Xiao's mother saw that his face was wrong, so she took him to Xiao Yao's residence.

"How?"

Although Xiao's mother asked, she already had a bad premonition in her heart. She was only unhappy with the competition between Zhu Jiuyong and Xiao Yao for Xiaoling, so she had doubts about his character, but she didn't want Zhu Jiuyong to really make a big mistake in the procurement process.

"Sister-in-law, the reason why I came back late is because I went to verify all the documents. I was just going to check a few shots, and if it was okay, I could be back in three days at most, but ....... ”

Xiao Wu said this, not daring to say any more, his face became deeper and deeper.

"But what? You just go on, there are no outsiders here, and the second son won't say it. ”

"Mom, I'm going out, I don't want to hear about this nonsense. ”

Xiao Yao withdrew and wanted to leave, but after his mother glared at him, she said sternly:

"If you dare to go out, I'll break your legs. You, like your dad, blindly trust everyone, don't let you know something, and you don't have a long memory. ”

Helpless, Xiao Yao looked bitter, so he had to sit down and pretend to be listening.

"Sister-in-law, every bill you give me has problems, and the problems are not small. On the first day I arrived in the provincial capital, I ....... ”

"Wait, you said the problem is not small, is there a lot of rebates for each of these documents......? He's committing a crime, I'll call Accountant He and Lao Xiao to listen to it together. ”

Xiao's mother realized the seriousness of the problem, and she decided not to deal with it privately. Accountant He represents the commune, and although Xiao's mother also represents the Xiao family, the administrative rules are unreasonable.

"Mom, if you call Uncle He and Dad, will Xiao Zhu go to jail?"

Xiao's mother, who was about to get up, was stopped by Xiao Yao's questioning. She nodded at her son, and her heart was heavy. In those days, when there was only a salary of twenty or thirty yuan a month, embezzlement of more than 100 yuan was not a small number.

Xiao Wu found out that Zhu Jiuyong had such a big problem in procurement, and Accountant He could not escape the blame. If this matter is really poked out, the person who is staring at the position of He Accountant will definitely add fuel to the fire and try every means to replace it.

"Mom, Xiao Zhu's incident started because of me, and I don't want to hurt him for the rest of my life. ”

"What is because of you? He is to blame. When people steal your wife, it's a hatred for taking your wife, and you still want to talk to him? Why don't you distinguish between right and wrong? How can I have a son like you?"

Xiao Yao's mentality made Xiao's mother very angry, and she was really angry.

"He didn't rob Xiaoling from me, Xiaoling's matter, I don't blame him, I only blame myself for being confused for a while. If I really want to send Xiao Zhu to prison, I will not be at ease for the rest of my life. Is there any other way to solve it? As long as I don't send Xiao Zhu to prison, I don't care about the rest. ”

Xiao Yao made up his mind that he couldn't ruin Zhu Jiuyong's life for his own affairs.

Watching Xiao Yao and his mother arguing, Xiao Wu was silent. He also thought in his heart that as long as Zhu Jiuyong was sent to prison, he would never accept the procurement work, in that case, everyone would think that he single-handedly sent Zhu Jiuyong to the cell.

"What do you care? Xiaoling hasn't come back for so many days, one of my good daughters-in-law has been disturbed by him, I go to your Uncle Gu every day, and he hasn't given me a good face. I'm not just touching my cold ass with a hot face for you, I'm so angry, have you ever taken care of it?"

Speaking of being snubbed and wronged by Master Gu these days, Xiao's mother's eyes turned red.

"I don't care if I'm popular, you're my son, and you sing against me, don't you know? ”

Saying this, Xiao Mu was already a little choked. She is not a stingy person, and many of her relatives and friends are often helped by her, and they are also very generous. But as long as it is someone she is not used to, she will not give a handout.

"Mom, isn't it just some money? It's a big deal to get him back. He is not married yet, so why should he be driven to a dead end? Mom, you have always been kind-hearted and a bodhisattva-hearted, don't you always teach me to be forgiving and forgiving? Think about it, if I did this, would you also send me to prison?"

Seeing his mother's sadness, Xiao Yao felt very uncomfortable, but he still patiently comforted his mother and prevented her from announcing Zhu Jiuyong's affairs to the public.

"If you dare to do this, I will break your legs, and I will never recognize you as my son. ”

"Whether you recognize me as your son or not, it's God's decision. Even if you break my leg ruthlessly, I will also be your lame son. At that time, I will run behind you with a limp every day to let the family know that your son is lame. ”

In order to resolve his mother's unhappiness, Xiao Yao played nonsense. Over the years, Xiao Yao's trick has been tried and tested repeatedly in front of his mother.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Xiao's mother showed a smile on her face, although her face was still full of resentment, but the resentment in her heart was more than half gone. Seeing this scene, Xiao Wu hurriedly said:

"Sister-in-law, what Xiao Yao said is not unreasonable. Grievances should be resolved, not settled. If we do things too far, it will not benefit anyone, including Accountant He. I calculated it for him on the road, and these tickets add up to several thousand, and it is possible to shoot him if he doesn't do it. ”

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chairman Mao was very strict with "economic criminals" and hated corruption to the core. Even if it is only a thousand yuan, it may be a death sentence in exchange.

Although Chairman Mao has been dead for several years now, in the 80s, the rumor that he would be shot if he embezzled 1,000 yuan is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has won the hearts of the people.

"There are so many? He's too bold. In my own anger, it is not too much to shoot him. ”

When Xiao's mother said this, her heart was already shaken. It is no longer her wish to go to prison, and if Zhu Jiuyong is shot, she can't bear it. She has no grievances with him, just because he interfered with his son's family affairs, just to vent his anger.

In her heart, human affection is greater than the law, and the law is to protect human feelings. As long as it is not a major matter of human life, it is also the practice of all societies that the people do not sue the officials and do not hold them accountable.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Mu asked cautiously:

"Little Fifth Master, is there any basis for what you said? We can't rely on speculation, if we wronged Xiao Zhu, we won't be able to explain. ”

"Sister-in-law, how dare I? When I set off, I wished he was okay, so I had to come back early to make a business. I just finished speaking, as soon as I arrived in the provincial capital, I inquired about the price of all the goods on the bill in the provincial capital. I asked more than one for the same goods, and he exceeded the maximum retail price, and we bought it from the manufacturer, so it should be lower. ”

Xiao Mu knows this very well that there is at least a dozen points of difference between the retail price and the wholesale price. Although the difference between the ex-factory price and the wholesale price is not so much, it is generally between five and eight points. There are even some black-hearted merchants who have earned more than a dozen points, and it is not uncommon to double.

"Then have you found the specific price given to us by the manufacturer?"

This point asked by Xiao's mother is often the most difficult to verify. Manufacturers generally collude with buyers first, keep each other confidential, and manufacturers will not sell buyers easily in order to retain customers.

Xiao Wu nodded silently, without a bit of arrogance. Xiao Mu praised it in her heart, and hurriedly asked:

"How did you find out? Can't be fooled?"

"No! Every time I go to a manufacturer, I ask them for the price first, they don't know who I am, and the price quoted is lower than the market price. Then I pretended to be angry, took out the receipt issued to Xiao Zhu in their factory, and wanted to settle accounts with their leaders. ”

They quickly explained that the price was different from now. I had to scare them that Xiao Zhu had been denounced by the factory, and if they dared to cover it up, the factory would also accuse them of fraud, and they would never buy their products again. In this way, I got the real purchase price. ”

After speaking, Xiao Wu took out a few sticky notes, which were the certificates he asked for from various manufacturers, writing the actual price and quantity of the purchase at that time, and they were stamped with bright red seals.

They also said that if we still use the raw materials of their factory in the future, as long as we make a long-distance phone call or send a telegram to explain the quantity, they are willing to give another discount, and they will also deliver them to the door, without charging freight. I wrote down their contact details and didn't want to run back and forth again. ”

After Xiao Wu finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Mu again and was silent. His mission has been accomplished, and what to do next, he does not want to be involved at all.
