Volume 3 Chapter 14 Debt is overwhelmed, and Lao Zhao is looking for a short view
Although the fire was extinguished, the printing house that Lao Zhao and others had put a lot of effort into was destroyed by a fire, all the investment was wasted, and the ideals of a lifetime were shattered. The landlord's house has no money to repair food, and the government's loan cannot be repaid, Lao Zhao feels that he has become a desperate poor bastard, what should he do now? His hair turned gray overnight!
The hard-working Lihua Printing Factory was destroyed by fire, and Wang Hongxing and Gui Fang were so anxious that they didn't know what to do.
Shuzhen's own savings for most of her life were destroyed by a fire, who can she blame? can only be dumb and eat coptis chinensis, secretly complaining in his heart.
Even more unfortunate was Wang Hongxing, the director of the Lihua Printing Factory, who was dragged by the workers to the government department for evaluation after the fire. The person in charge of the relevant government department told Wang Hongxing that he must find a way to pay the wages he owed, but how could Wang Hongxing have the money to pay the workers' salaries?
Wang Hongxing, Gui Fang and Shuzhen sighed and worried all day, and when the Wang family had dinner together, all three of them frowned and didn't say a word. Wang Yunqing and his family felt that the children had been a little abnormal in the past few days, but the children were all adults, and their elders were reluctant to take care of their affairs. It wasn't until one day that Shuzhen quarreled with Wang Hongxing and Gui Fang because of investment, and the old couple knew what the children were doing behind their backs!
Where can Wang Hongju, who has been pampered since childhood, withstand such heavy psychological pressure, the original white and fat round face has become a thin and haggard long face, Mrs. Wang is distressed and sad when she sees her child in trouble, she complains to her son and says: "Your father and I have long said that we will not let you and Lao Zhao pass, but you just don't listen, you see this is not causing trouble!" ”
Gui Fang heard her mother-in-law say this about her father, her face was a little tense, so she muttered and said, "Mom, this is a natural disaster, and it has nothing to do with my father." My dad is really doing business this time, for the sake of the good of this factory, he built the only house in my family, if the factory does not catch fire, we will start to make money. ”
Although Wang Yunqing has a very prejudiced view of Lao Zhao, he is a reasonable person, and he said to several juniors: "People have good fortunes and misfortunes, and the sky has unforeseen circumstances, and the fire in the printing house is an unexpected natural disaster, and we can't blame Lao Zhao." It doesn't mean that you can't afford to run a printing house. But I don't understand, why are you hiding it from me and your mother about opening a factory? Explain this to me! ”
Wang Hongxing saw that his father's attitude was very kind, so he dared to interject and say: "Dad, in fact, we are hiding it from you and my mother, just for fear of being scolded by you!" ”
After hearing this, Wang Yunqing shook his head and said, "You still don't know your father!" You and Lao Zhao are doing legal business together, why should I scold you? Not only will I not scold you, but I will praise and support you! ”
Gui Fang hurriedly asked her father-in-law: "Dad, what you said is true?" ”
"Of course it's true! If you go to industry, it shows that you have ambitions and promises, and of course I want to support your approach. I want my kids to be better than me in the future! ”
Wang Yunqing learned in detail about the current predicament of the Lihua Printing House from Hongxing and Shuzhen, and asked them how to face and solve this predicament. Several juniors are at a loss, and they feel that Lihua Printing Factory has no way out except to go bankrupt. Just as a few people were talking. Someone rushed to Wang's house to find Gui Fang to report the news: Lao Zhao committed suicide by taking poison! He is now being resuscitated in the hospital.
The news of Lao Zhao's suicide by taking poison shocked the Wang family, and no one could have imagined how Lao Zhao, who had always been shrewd, would choose to commit suicide in the face of difficulties. When Gui Fang learned the news, she cried profusely. Wang Hongxing and Gui Fang hurried to the hospital.
Fortunately, the amount of arsenic that Lao Zhao drank was not much, and it was discovered early. After arriving at the hospital, he was rescued by doctors and brought back to life.
Lao Zhao was lying on the hospital bed, the sunlight shining in from the window was shining on him, and his eyes slowly opened. The first person Lao Zhao saw when he opened his eyes was Gui Fang, who was crying and red-eyed, and he sighed with tears and said, "You let me die!" Why do you want to save me? It is better for me to live and suffer than to die! ”
Gui Fang complained to her father and said, "Dad." Why are you so confused? Isn't it just that the factory was burned, and if there is anything you can't think of, you won't seek death! ”
"Gui Fang, you don't know that this factory is your father's life. If the factory is gone, your father's life will be gone. Lao Zhao frowned tightly when he thought of the burned factory.
Wang Hongxing, who was standing on the side, comforted Lao Zhao and said: "Don't think about it, what is more important than life in this world?" Think about it, although our factory is gone, but the people are still there, it's a big deal, let's start from the beginning from the beginning of the drum and another opening! ”
Lao Zhao said weakly: "Child, it's easy for you to say, but can I really think about it?" Not to mention that our own money has been burned, we still owe a lot of loans to the government, wages to workers, money to landlords, and everything needs money! I am the chairman, and I have to bear these responsibilities. Where do you think you got this big money? When I think about it, I can't breathe. Alas! It's better to live than to die, I really have no other way than to choose to die! ”
Lao Zhao said that Gui Fang and Wang Hongxing's hearts were sour, and Gui Fang took Lao Zhao's hand and whimpered. Wang Hongxing, who originally wanted to comfort Lao Zhao, also hung his head helplessly, beat his chest with his hand and sighed.
Lao Zhao's body was too weak, and he still had to be hospitalized, so Wang Hongju paid for Lao Zhao to pay a hospital deposit, and then took Gui Fang away.
After Wang Hongxing and his wife left the hospital, they came to the factory that was destroyed by the fire, and watched the gradually improving printing factory now become a ruined wall blackened by smoke and fire, and the two stood dumbfounded, and no one spoke for a long time.
When Wang Hongxing and Gui Fang went to bed at night, they lay straight on the bed and looked at the ceiling in a daze without speaking, and after a long time Gui Fang said to Wang Hongxing: "Hongxing, I thought a lot today, I think we can't clean up this mess now, so I understand my father's idea of seeking death, he is forced to be helpless!" If I were him, I wouldn't want to live, I can't stand this ass debt on anyone, and living is simply a sin! ”
Wang Hongxing was dissatisfied with Gui Fang's words, "Okay, don't think about it!" It is better to die than to live, what is more important in this world than life? I can't live without you, you don't want to live, so what should I do? ”
Gui Fang's eyes rolled and said, "Let's not keep mentioning what is immortal, how unlucky!" The two of us, my father, and Sister Shuzhen have all fallen into the sea of suffering now, and I think that only the Guanyin Bodhisattva, who is compassionate and compassionate, can save us from the sea of suffering. ”
"Gui Fang, I see that your brain has become nervous in a hurry, I can't say if there is Guanyin in the world, even if there is Guanyin, we can't find her!"
"Hongxing, who are you talking about? I see your brain is getting nervous! I'm comparing a person, you don't understand! ”
Wang Hongxing understood what Shuzhen meant after a little thought, and he said: "I know, the Guanyin you are talking about is my father, right?" ”
Gui Fang nodded and said, "Yes, now I can only ask him for mercy from the old man!" ”
"That's not easy! In the past, your dad hurt my dad so much, I don't think the old man will help your dad! Besides, I don't dare to mention this to my dad about helping your dad! Wang Hongxing couldn't go on.
"Yes, my dad is a calculating man. But he is my father after all, this time he is in big trouble, I, as a daughter, don't want to help him, I just haven't done my filial piety. Gui Fang wanted to cry again as she spoke, and she covered her face with a quilt. Wang Hongju persuaded Gui Fang with kind words to think about opening up a point, and then think about other solutions. Gui Fang showed her face from the quilt and said, "Tell you Hongxing, except for your father, no one else can settle this matter!" Tomorrow I will be cheeky to go to him, begging him to save my dad, begging our factory! As long as his old man is kind enough to pull us, I am willing to kowtow to him a hundred times! ”
Wang Hongxing nodded in agreement, "Gui Fang, that's fine, let's go together Ming'er." (To be continued......)
