“You bet on the wrong horse. Bet on the right time next time!” The dealer ignored Jia Zhang’s pleas and put the money directly into his pocket!

Seeing her money being taken away, Jia Zhang certainly wouldn’t let it go. No matter who wins or loses, that’s her money!

Jia Zhang grabbed the dealer and tried to snatch the money, but the dealer kicked her aside, “Fuck you, why didn’t you say it was a joke when you won the money? When you won so much money from me, you didn’t even return it to me!”

“That’s right, that’s right! When you won money, the dealer gave you every penny. Why are you unhappy when you lost money? It doesn’t make sense! Go home quickly!” The people next to him persuaded him. If he were an ordinary person, he might just let his bad luck happen and go home in shame, and nothing would happen next!

But who is Jia Zhang? She has been arrogant in the courtyard for so many years. Who is she afraid of? She is the one who wants to take advantage of you. Taking her money is no less than taking her life. She pounced on the dealer and threw him to the ground, trying to get her money back!

How could an old woman beat a group of men? Jia Zhang was beaten up, but she didn’t give up. She stared with triangular eyes and roared madly, “You are all in the same group, working together to cheat me of my money. Hurry up and give me the money back, and give me 200 yuan as compensation, or I will sue you!” It’s said that Jia Zhang is really bold. Not only does she want to get her money back, but she also wants to extort a sum of money! She is just a group of gambling people who are afraid of being exposed and afraid that she will report them!

“Don’t think I don’t know you. Aren’t you Liu San from Yangliu Hutong? You can’t run away. Give me the money quickly!” It was with this sentence that Jia Zhang pushed herself into the abyss!

“Brother, why don’t you do it to her!”

Chapter 201 Jia Zhang’s escape journey!

“Nonsense! If someone dies, none of us can escape. It’s not a big deal to get some money to spend, but if someone dies, you’ll lose your head!”

When Jia Zhang heard that she was going to be killed, she was also afraid and was about to beg for mercy, but the words of the gang leader, the man with the slicked-back hair who had just dragged her to bet, made her stand up and said arrogantly, “Hurry up and give me the money. Do you think my money is so easy to take? If you don’t give me the money, none of you will be able to escape!”

“Boss, what should we do?” This is in a busy city. They’ll just bet on a treasure, cheat some money, and then leave. They won’t stay in the same place for too long. There will be enthusiastic people who will report it! Now that Jia Zhang is making such a fuss, the crowd will soon surround them!

The man with the slicked-back hair took out a handkerchief, poured something on it, and went over to cover Jia Zhang’s mouth. Soon, Jia Zhang stopped moving!

“Quick! Carry her onto the cart and take her away.” A cart was pushed out from the alley, and several people threw Jia Zhang onto the cart, covered her with a quilt, and drove away!

When Jia Zhang woke up, she was already lying on a brick bed. Next to her was an old man with yellow teeth grinning. “Wife, are you awake?”

Jia Zhang’s head was spinning. Where was she? “Get out of here, old man!” Jia Zhang fiercely kicked the disgusting old man, whose mouth was full of yellow teeth and smelled terrible!

Jia Zhang thought that she could be fierce to her husband Jia Dafu, and to all the men who liked her, only in this way could she take the initiative in the family! But she was wrong, what greeted her was punching and kicking, “Get out of here, go cook for me,” the mountain man, even if he is the laziest, is also brave and has a bad temper. If he is not ruthless, it is difficult for him to survive in the depths of the mountains! After a burst of violence, Jia Zhang gave in, she is also a bully!

Jia Zhang settled down in the mountains. If she could eat and drink well, she would accept her fate. It doesn’t matter where she lives. As long as she has food and drink and someone to serve her, it’s fine! However, those who can’t get a wife and become bachelors are originally from poor families. They have nothing but four walls at home and can barely fill their stomachs! Jia Zhang looked at her simple home with a miserable face. Why is her life so miserable!

Jia Zhang didn’t know where she was now, but she knew she was in the mountains, living on the mountain, and seeing the mountains when she went out. At night, she could even hear the howling of wolves! She was so scared that she could only hug the old man tightly, fearing that he would be driven out of the house!

Two shabby houses, leaking everywhere, a brick bed, an old quilt, a pot, three bowls, half a bag of corn flour, some wild vegetables, and an old man who was always wearing a tattered cotton jacket and smelled bad. This was Jia Zhang’s new home!

What to do? Since arriving here, Jia Zhang has never given up on escaping! On the first day after waking up, after the old man fell asleep, Jia Zhang dragged her sore body and pushed open the door. It was pitch black everywhere, and there were wolves howling in the distance. Jia Zhang wanted to run, but she didn’t know where to run. She didn’t even know the way down the mountain. Just when she was hesitant and timid, Jia Zhang was pulled into the room!

When day came, Jia Zhang, who understood the current situation, became even more sad. This was not the life a normal person should live. They didn’t have enough to eat or warm clothes to wear. All they could see were mountains. Not even a house could be seen. The only thing they could remember was a small path that led to an unknown place!

The old man only eats and sleeps, two things he does every day! But now he has one more thing to do, which is to beat Jia Zhang. If he doesn’t like her, he beats her! If she doesn’t listen, he beats her! Anyway, beating Jia Zhang has become the old man’s new pleasure, and he never gets tired of it! Jia Zhang has also learned to accept it and listen to whatever the old man says. After all, being beaten doesn’t feel good!

After adapting to the new environment, Jia Zhang began her second escape. Jia Zhang did not choose to escape in the morning because there was no dinner at night. The first meal of the day was eaten at nine or ten in the morning. If she escaped in the morning, Jia Zhang herself would not be able to hold on, and the old man would wake up soon!

Jia Zhang deliberately cooked more food, and after eating her fill, she found the old man to play games with. She waited until the old man fell asleep from exhaustion, and then Jia Zhang started her escape!

The winding path could not stop Jia Zhang’s desire to run for freedom. Jia Zhang ran wildly along the path. Even if she fell, she would quickly get up, not caring about the pain in her body, and ran all the way!

However, the mountain road still had no end. Jia Zhang walked and walked, and after climbing over a mountain, there was another mountain waiting for her. Should she go back? Or continue? At this time, Jia Zhang was already limp, panting, and her legs were shaking!

With the afterglow of the setting sun, Jia Zhang still insisted on moving forward, but when night fell, Jia Zhang was completely disappointed. She had not yet walked out of the mountains and was still in the forest. Moreover, she could no longer see the road, and the howling of wolves could be heard from time to time in the distance!

Unable to leave or go back, Jia Zhang was faced with an awkward situation. She squatted under a big tree all night, starving. The mosquitoes in the forest successfully made her fat! Fortunately, except for the mosquitoes that greeted her, no other animals came to have close contact with her throughout the night, which made her nervous heart relax a little. When she saw the rising sun, Jia Zhang finally relaxed and fell asleep under the big tree!

However, when she woke up and opened her eyes, she saw an ugly face, “Wife, let’s go home!” At this moment, Zhang collapsed and felt completely hopeless!

After returning to the shabby room, Jia Zhang, who had been beaten by the old man and had been lying down for three days without food or water, and was almost starving to death, struggled to get up and made herself a bowl of life-saving rations. After such an experience, Jia Zhang completely accepted her fate and obeyed the old man’s orders with her head down. She did whatever he told her to do! She washed clothes, cooked, and cleaned every day, keeping the old man’s house clean, which gradually made the old man relax his vigilance against her!

Just like this, the days passed one by one, and soon it was autumn. The mountains and forests were full of fruits. This time, the old man began to work. He and Jia Zhang worked for half a month. Today, the old man was going down the mountain to exchange local specialties for food. Jia Zhang behaved very docilely and helped the old man to tie up his things, prepare food for the road, etc., and also served the old man gently until he left with satisfaction!

Jia Zhang then hurriedly took out the small package she had prepared long ago and followed the old man from a distance. Having had the experience of escaping last time, Jia Zhang knew clearly that she could not get out of the mountains by herself. If she wanted to escape, she could only wait for the old man to come down the mountain carrying food!

The old man had come down the mountain once before, but she was not prepared. In order to appease the old man, Jia Zhang waited at home obediently, and finally dispelled the old man’s last suspicion. He completely believed that he had accepted his fate and reality! This is the opportunity that has finally come. Every day when eating, Jia Zhang would hide half of the steamed buns, and secretly dry them when the old man was not paying attention, as dry food on the way to escape. Now, all of these are on her back!

In this way, Jia Zhang successfully escaped from the mountains, saw the village, and saw pedestrians. At this moment, Jia Zhang was like a new life! But this was just the beginning of Jia Zhang’s journey home. Jia Zhang didn’t dare to enter the village in front of her. She was not sure whether the old man had any connections or acquaintances in this village. In order not to expose herself, Jia Zhang could only bypass the village and walk along the road!

In this way, Jia Zhang traveled every day, asking for directions and begging for food! She met kind people and also met people with bad intentions. Later, Jia Zhang simply pretended to be a beggar and begged all the way back to Yanjing from Decheng in Beihe!

Because she was afraid that the gang that kidnapped her was still active in the same place, Jia Zhang did not dare to expose herself, and she hid and managed to find the No. 95 courtyard house! That’s when the previous scene happened!

After hearing about Jia Zhang’s experience, Director Wang didn’t know what to say to her, but she was lucky to be able to return safely. As for those street scammers that Jia Zhang mentioned, they had long disappeared! In addition to the one person Jia Zhang knew, the police station also knew about the others. After all, they all had a background. But if they went to look for them now, they would have been gone!

Jia Zhang was lucky enough to escape back, thanks to her tough personality. She had been a widow for many years and had developed a character that could not admit defeat, so she insisted on escaping! If she had been a little softer, she would have accepted her fate long ago! Or she would have collapsed on the way to escape!

In the hospital, Jia Zhang’s body was cleaned up, her hair was cut off, her head was full of lice, she was washed with medicine, and the nurses cut off all her clothes, leaving nothing behind. Jia Zhang, who had suffered so much, now saw things clearly. If it were in the past, she would have jumped up and been unreasonable, trying to take advantage of others. Now, Jia Zhang not only obeyed the nurses, but also thanked the nurses. Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu, who came to accompany her, were both wondering, “Is this my mother? Is this my mother-in-law?”

If you have read fantasy, you will definitely say, “I was possessed by another body”? If you have read time travel, you will definitely say, “I traveled through time”?

The Jia Zhang in front of him had a thin face and a big bald head. Because she was thin, the skin on her face was a little sagging. The triangular eyes that used to look fierce became kind and gentle now because of the drooping skin. The bloated figure was gone, and the short and fat girl had turned into a slim aunt!

What surprised everyone even more was that Jia Zhang started doing housework. Before, when Jia Dongxu was a child, it was Jia Zhang who did the housework. When Jia Dongxu grew up, it was Jia Dongxu who did the housework. When Jia Dongxu got married, it was Qin Huairu who did the housework, and Jia Zhang was responsible for lying down. Moreover, one could often hear Jia Zhang beating and scolding Qin Huairu!

Now, Jia Zhang does housework every day. Except for not taking care of the children due to health reasons, Jia Zhang will do all the other things. She has changed completely. She used to start working without saying a word, but now she speaks slowly and softly! If her appearance had not changed, everyone would suspect that there was an impostor! But Jia Dongxu firmly believed that it was impossible, because there was a scar on Jia Zhang’s arm, which he accidentally injured. There was no doubt that this was a scar! In the end, everyone could only say that Jia Zhang had suffered too much outside, and now she has suddenly realized and her mind has changed a lot! According to the Buddhist meaning, it is time to turn back!

Chapter 202: Drawing an unripe pie!

Not only Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu were delighted with the changes in Jia Zhangshi, but the neighbors in the courtyard were also happy. No one wanted to have a neighbor who disturbed the neighbors every day!

Chen Zhiguo knew about this gossip several days later. First, He Yushui and Yu Li came to visit, Wang Meihua knew about it, and then the whole Chen family knew about it! Chen Zhiguo didn’t expect that Jia Zhang could change so much, but it is a good thing that people are kind-hearted!

He still has to keep busy now. The transformation of the production workshops of the first and second rolling mills has been completed. Chen Zhiguo originally planned to return to the design institute for a while and do other things after the new year! But today, he received an invitation. Luo Xue invited her to eat roast duck at Quanjude!

“It’s not time to get your salary yet, why do you think of treating me to a meal?” After Luo Xue and her colleagues were promoted two levels, their salaries also increased. Now they can get a salary of 43 yuan. They have been clamoring to treat Chen Zhiguo to a meal!

“No, didn’t I take a pack of cigarettes from you last time? The elders in my family want to treat you to a meal to express their gratitude!” Luo Xue’s face turned red as she spoke!

“What? Your elders?” Chen Zhiguo felt a little creepy. Could it be that he was meeting the parents? That shouldn’t be the case? Chen Zhiguo looked at Luo Xue with strange eyes. Something was wrong?

“What are you thinking about? I just want to ask you for help. Just go!” Luo Xue pulled Chen Zhiguo’s arm and shook it, begging in a coquettish and cute way.

“No, just tell me what’s the matter. There’s no need to make it so grand!” Chen Zhiguo still didn’t want to go. He felt a little scared. It felt like the Hongmen Banquet!

“Oh! We’re talking about serious matters, work-related matters. You look so timid. What’s the matter? Will they eat you up if you go?”

Chen Zhiguo thought, who? Or talk about work? But no matter how he asked, Luo Xue just wouldn’t tell him. In the end, she was about to cry. Chen Zhiguo had no choice but to give in and agree to Luo Xue’s request!

When he pushed open the door of the Quanjude private room, “It’s you? Are you Luo Xue’s?”

“Haha! How’s that? It’s a surprise, right?” A middle-aged man stood up in the private room. “I specifically asked Luo Xue not to say it. Now let me introduce myself. I’m Luo Xue’s uncle!”

“I see. Director Luo, if you have anything to ask, just come to me directly. I feel embarrassed to make such a big fuss!”

“Today I want to catch up with you and discuss something with you!” Director Luo enthusiastically pulled Chen Zhiguo to sit down.

“Eat first, then drink. Take it easy, don’t get me drunk!”

“That can’t be done!”

When they were almost done eating, Director Luo put down his chopsticks. Chen Zhiguo knew that the main event was about to begin, so he also put down his chopsticks. “Zhiguo, this time our steel mill is lagging behind the first and second steel mills. I know you have just finished your work and are very tired, but I still want to ask you to help. Our steel mill also wants to be transformed as soon as possible.”

“Director Luo, has the factory agreed?” If Director Yang had not disagreed at the beginning, Chen Zhiguo would not have been transferred from the steel rolling mill!

“This morning, the leader talked to me!”

“Congratulations, Director Luo!” Chen Zhiguo immediately realized that Lao Luo was going to be promoted, and quickly picked up his glass and clinked glasses with Director Luo.

“Director Yang is not in good health, and the department plans to transfer him to the trade union as a deputy, mainly to recuperate. As for me, I will temporarily handle the affairs of the steel mill! I asked you to come here today because our steel mill needs to be renovated, which is an urgent matter. There is another thing I want to report to the leadership. Please serve as the chief technical engineer of the steel mill and be responsible for the technical transformation of our steel mill!”

Old Yang has retired directly. At this age, he can only wait for retirement. There is not much hope for his comeback! But Director Luo is too ambitious. Chen Zhiguo is shocked. The chief technical engineer is at the deputy director level. Chen Zhiguo dare not think about it and it is impossible to be approved. It is useless to promote him on the spot. The organizational procedures will never agree to it! Old Luo is just making big promises to Chen Zhiguo!

The Red Star Steel Mill used to have a chief technical engineer, but he was transferred to support the national key construction project. The superiors did not send a suitable technical engineer, so the position has been vacant. The technical aspects of the steel mill have always relied on Li Yunshan, the chief of the technical department! Therefore, even if Chen Zhiguo is appointed as the chief technical engineer of the Red Star Steel Mill at the current deputy director level, how can Chen Zhiguo lead the old technicians in the technical department? His foundation is too shallow! Director Luo is just daydreaming. Maybe his purpose is to pull Chen Zhiguo back to the Red Star Steel Mill!

“Director Luo, you think too highly of me. How can I take on such an important position at such a young age?” Chen Zhiguo immediately refused. Just kidding. Chen Zhiguo’s current deputy director position was promoted quickly. He was promoted two levels out of the ordinary. The chief engineer of the steel rolling mill is at the same level as the deputy director, although one is a technical position and the other is an administrative position! He is also a factory leader. Have you ever seen a 17-year-old factory leader?

“I know this is too rash, but the steel mill really needs your support right now. We are lagging behind this time, and the workers are in a low mood. We need you to come over and boost morale!”

“Okay! Director Luo, I will go back and report to the leader, but let’s not mention the topic of the chief technical engineer anymore!” Chen Zhiguo made up his mind that after the transformation of the steel mill was completed, he must keep a low profile for a few years and not show off. His age was a disadvantage, and he was not suitable for a high position at the moment. Who knew what the situation would be like after the wind started!

In fact, Director Luo also knew that Chen Zhiguo would definitely not agree. The last time the minister proposed to let him be an assistant, he was rejected. He knew that Chen Zhiguo knew when to advance and retreat! Today, I will talk about two things, which is to make it difficult for Chen Zhiguo to shirk the transformation of the steel rolling mill. He has learned from Luo Xue that Chen Zhiguo plans to rest until after the New Year. If he does not take the initiative to ask Chen Zhiguo for this matter, can he wait for Chen Zhiguo to come to him? It is impossible to think about it. Even if Lao Yang is transferred, it will not be a good thing for him to be the director! Chen Zhiguo refused the chief technical engineer, so he would not refuse to enter the factory for technical transformation. So it seems that Director Luo is very rash and naive, but it is just a conversation technique. The chief technical engineer is not something he can decide!

So, as soon as the leaders finished talking today, Director Luo asked Luo Xue to invite Chen Zhiguo. Of course, Director Luo spoke for him at the meeting at the steel rolling mill, and Chen Zhiguo remembered this favor. Now that he specifically came to him, how could he refuse? Besides, the reform is also for the country’s construction, so it doesn’t matter if he is a little tired!

“However, I don’t have enough manpower here, so I may need to borrow a few from the First and Second Steel Rolling Plants. When the time comes, Director Luo may need to coordinate with us.”

“That’s no problem. I’ll invite Lao Jiang and Lao Hu to have a chat tomorrow. Zhiguo, you have to be there to support me. I can’t drink as much as them!”

“I’ll let it go. You talk to them!” Chen Zhiguo is not afraid of anyone when it comes to drinking. Now no one dares to compete with him at the table, but eating out every night is annoying! Going home to cook for my sister, isn’t it nice to have a happy family?

“No, you must come, it’s in our factory’s guesthouse,” Chen Zhiguo thought about it and agreed. The worst that could happen is to get them all drunk, so that it can be over early!

Before leaving, Director Luo packed two roast ducks for Chen Zhiguo to take back, saying that it was an apology for delaying him from going home to cook. This Lao Luo is really meticulous in doing things, but it is really comfortable to get along with him. He is just very scheming. Chen Zhiguo doesn’t like this. Wouldn’t it be better to be frank? If Lao Luo knew that Chen Zhiguo would think this way, he would definitely shout that he was wronged. He also wanted to get closer to Chen Zhiguo, so he said the matter of the chief technical engineer!

The next night, Chen Zhiguo brought Lao Shen, Wang Qiang, and Luo Xue to the guesthouse. As soon as they entered the door, Chen Xiaoqiu at the front desk saw Chen Zhiguo coming in and hurriedly greeted him, “Brother Zhiguo!” “Xiaoqiu, how are you doing now? Have you adapted to it?”

“It’s fine. Last week, I went back to the village and visited my fourth grandfather and grandmother!”

“Are they all well?” Chen Zhiguo has been very busy recently and has no time to go back. He originally thought that he would have some free time to go back after taking a break, but he was pulled back by Director Luo. He can only wait until he finishes his work at the steel rolling mill before he will have time to go back and visit them!

“Everything is fine. I even told you to work with peace of mind!”

At this time, Chen Erya also came over, “Brother Zhiguo, you are here!”

“Erya, hello!” Along the way, the sisters from Chenjia Village whom he met greeted him warmly. Chen Zhiguo was the pride in their hearts!

Yu Li and Liu Lan were standing at the door of the private room on the second floor.

“Hello, sister-in-law!” Chen Zhiguo greeted Yu Li and nodded to Liu Lan!

“Hi Shiguku!”

Yu Li was already pregnant, with a slightly bulging belly. He Yuzhu had long wanted her to take a leave of absence, but Yu Li refused to agree. She was about to give birth and was still working, but I had only been pregnant for a few months and had to take a leave of absence. What was this? Yu Li also didn’t want to give up her power and come back after giving birth. What if something unexpected happened?

“Sister-in-law, you should take more rest. If there is anything, just let them run around more!”

“It’s okay, I’m only a few months pregnant, I just need to be careful!” Yu Li’s work enthusiasm is at its highest right now, how could she slack off just because of her pregnancy!

Chen Zhiguo just stopped talking, and that was enough. After all, it was He Yuzhu’s business! He didn’t talk much. He was late to begin with, and it was embarrassing enough to make the leader wait for him. Chen Zhiguo was about to push the door of the private room.

Liu Lan, who was standing by, helped Chen Zhiguo push open the door of the private room. “We’ve been waiting for you!” Lao Luo didn’t say anything, but Lao Jiang’s loud voice rang out.

“It’s a long way to go, please don’t be surprised, leaders!” Chen Zhiguo laughed!

Chapter 203 He Daqing’s spring has come!

Before Chen Zhiguo came, Lao Luo had already communicated with Lao Jiang and Lao Hu. As long as they said so, it would be possible to support each other. Besides, Lao Jiang and Lao Hu had already completed the transformation, so it was only natural for them to help the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill! So, tonight we were just having dinner, drinking and chatting, not talking about business!

“I know you are late, so you must consciously drink three glasses of wine as a punishment later!” said Lao Hu on the side!
