Chapter 1293 Cannot Be Bullied
Pu Tao was abandoned not long after she was born and she grew up in an orphanage without a name. Later on, the hospital director realized that she liked to eat grapes, so he simply called her Pu Tao, meaning grape.
"How would I know! Li Gui is the one who calculated my salary, not me. You even told me that we can make a lot of money here! How is this a lot! They're just stingy!" Pu Tao complained.
Based on what Huang Xu knew about Xia Zhe's family, Li Gui did not seem like a biased person and Qiao Mei was even more fair and just. It was simply impossible that they would shortchange their workers when it came to the salary, so what exactly went wrong?
"Is it because you did not go to the corn courtyard house to help pluck corn?" Huang Xu asked.
Pu Tao was stunned for a moment before she shouted guiltily at Huang Xu, "I didn't go! So what! Who wants to do such hard work! Back then, you told me that I don't have to do anything when I come to the capital, that all I need to do is to cook for you every day. Look at the kind of work I'm doing now!"
"It's still better than doing farm work at home! You are the one who insists on coming to the capital with me. You'll be enjoying life now if you have stayed at home to take care of the children!" Huang Xu said angrily.
He was worried about causing trouble for Xia Zhe. Xia Zhe had asked them to come here to work because he trusted them. It would be easy for him to hire people with the salary that he was paying, so why would he want to hire people who only wanted to slack off?
Since Xia Zhe trusted them, they must work hard. However, Pu Tao was slacking off now and did not behave like a hardworking person at all. Was she trying to embarra.s.s him? He did not know how to explain it to Xia Zhe.
When Huang Xu received Xia Zhe's letter, he was overjoyed. He had already been thinking about leaving the village for a long time. He and Pu Tao had fallen for each other on their own and were not matchmade. At first, he felt that Pu Tao was good in every way. She was gentle and virtuous and seemed like the type of woman who would be a good wife!
Hence, after knowing Pu Tao for three months, he fell deeply in love and decided to marry her. Unexpectedly, after getting married, there was a drastic change in her personality and she seemed like a completely different person from when they first fell in love. Not only was she greedy and lazy at home, she was also very rude to Huang Xu's parents.
Huang Xu's parents had taken care of the couple's children since birth and even after they grew up. Pu Tao only gave birth to the children but did not take care of them at all. All she did was go out to play mahjong every day. The children even had to be fed goat milk when they were young!
Their family was so poor that they could not afford powdered milk, so Huang Xu had no choice but to ask the goat farmers in the village for help. Every day, he would give them something in exchange for goat milk. Sometimes, it was the vegetables they grew at home or the eggs laid by the chickens they raised. Other times, he would buy the milk using money. If he really did not have anything to give in exchange for the milk, he would ask to take it on credit at first.
After a while, he owed many people in the village a lot of money. The neighbors in the village were all kind-hearted people. They all felt sorry for his children, who had to endure such a tough life after being born into such a family, so they did not urge Huang Xu to repay his debt.
The reason why Huang Xu had come to the capital was to earn money to repay the debts he had incurred in his hometown.
"I want to follow you around! Who knows why you want to come to the capital! I have to keep an eye on you every day! Don't think I don't know what you've been doing for the past two days! I know everything!" Pu Tao roared angrily. Her voice could be heard through the walls of the house and everyone in the courtyard knew that they were fighting.
Chi Ze stood at the door and looked at Huang Xu's room curiously. He whispered, "Huang Xu has already quarreled with his wife three times in the past two weeks. I wonder why he can't talk to her nicely."
"You'd better not get involved! You don't know anything about Pu Tao, so how do you know who's the cause of the fight!" w.a.n.g Fang said immediately.
Chi Ze quickly closed the door and squatted down beside w.a.n.g Fang. "Honey, from what you're saying, do you know something? Tell me. I need to help my brother!"
"Do you think Pu Tao is a nice person! In the past two weeks alone, she had taken four apples from our family. Furthermore, she came to steal them sneakily. I simply turned a blind eye and pretended not to see. She also took many things from Mao Hang's wife, Yang Mei!" w.a.n.g Fang said helplessly.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier! She bullied you! I have to seek an explanation from her family!" Chi Ze said angrily.
