Chapter 159 Liu Guangqi Really Ran Away
"You want money? How do you want it?" Liu Guangqi asked. "Just tell my dad I'm leaving and ask him to give me some money to settle down? Wouldn't that be courting death? My dad would definitely beat me to death."
Hearing Liu Guangqi's silly words, Ge Xiaohui was speechless, so he said, "Don't you have a brain? How can you say that? Let me ask you, what does your father care about most?"
"Promotion?" Liu Guangqi said, scratching his head.
"You're not stupid. In your father's eyes, promotion is the most important thing, no matter if it's you or him. So, you can tell him that you have a chance to get promoted recently, but you have to pay for it. Isn't that good enough?" Ge Xiaohui said proudly.
After hearing what his wife said, Liu Guangqi suddenly understood. If he could get some money, he would have no regrets when he left. "Wife, you are smart. I will try it after lunch. If it works, let's get ready!"
Soon it was afternoon. At Liu's house, Liu Haizhong was warming himself by the stove after lunch. At this time, Liu Guangqi came over and said, "Dad, are you warming yourself by the fire? The weather got cold really early this year. It's too cold to bear now."
"Well, what's the matter? Do you have something to talk to me about?" Liu Haizhong asked. As soon as his son stuck out his butt, he knew what kind of fart he was going to let out, but he didn't know how strong or weak the smell would be.
"Haha, Dad, you are really the worm in my stomach. You can see this. I have something to talk to you about."
"That's right, you're my son, how can I not understand you?" Liu Haizhong said with a smile, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Dad, there is an opportunity in the factory. I may be promoted to a small official."
Hearing the word "promotion", Liu Haizhong immediately threw away the fire tongs in his hand and said excitedly, "What's going on? Tell me, tell me."
Seeing Liu Haizhong like this, Liu Guangqi felt that the money scam was a sure thing, so he made up a story, "Our department is short of a team leader, and the leader came to talk to me! He said that I am a college student and I work hard, and that I have a great chance, but he didn't give me any real evidence, so I think, what do you think, Dad, what does this mean?"
"I want you to give me a gift?" Liu Haizhong blurted out.
"Is that what he meant?" Liu Guangqi pretended, "I really didn't know that he meant that."
"Hey, silly kid, you just want to work hard. You're the same as your father and I. You only know how to bury your head in work. What's the point of working hard? You also need to have an academic degree, and the most important thing is to know how to give gifts. Listen to me, your leader said this because he wants you to give gifts." Liu Haizhong said self-righteously.
"Dad, is this true?" Liu Guangqi continued to pretend, "But I don't know how much is appropriate to give! Besides, I don't have any money!"
"How much is the appropriate gift?" Liu Haizhong thought, "Don't be stingy. Many things have been ruined because of stinginess. So, tell me, how much will your salary increase after you get promoted? And how many people do you manage?"
"As for the salary, it should increase by more than ten yuan, maybe even more than twenty yuan. As for the number of people, there are only four or five of them."
"Add about twenty, that's fine! Then you'll be almost fifty yuan?" Liu Haizhong said, "I've worked for so many years and only got seventy yuan, fine! Son, but how much do you want?"
"Dad, I told Xiaohui about this. She also said that we should give gifts, and it can't be too little. She said that I should give gifts according to the extra salary I can earn in a year. The more I give, the faster I can be promoted," Liu Guangqi looked at Liu Haizhong and said, "Dad, are you right about what Xiaohui said?"
Liu Haizhong thought for a while and said, "That makes sense. Just do as your wife says."
"Dad, but I don't have any money. I have taken Xiaohui to the hospital many times during this period just to check if she is pregnant. I have not been working for long and I really don't have any money saved. Do you think you can support me a little?" Liu Guangqi said.
"You didn't save any money? No way?" Liu Haizhong asked in surprise, "You didn't pay any money to your family. I paid for your food, drink, and toilet. Where's the money?"
"Dad, it's already spent! How about this, you help me pay for it this time, and I'll pay you back starting next month. We can just keep Xiaohui's salary, what do you think?" Liu Guangqi said nervously.
"You! Really, money should be spent wisely. Look, you have no money now when you need it, right?" Liu Haizhong blamed, "Luckily, I have your father to take the blame for you. I paid for this money, but there is not much at home. You spent a lot on your wedding, and I have to take care of six mouths in the family. Your two disappointing brothers haven't started to make money yet! I'll give you two hundred first!"
"Okay, thank you, Dad!" Liu Guangqi said with a smile, "When will I get it?"
"I'll bring it to you after dinner tonight!" Liu Haizhong said, "Work hard, you are the hope of our Liu family."
"Okay, Dad. I will definitely bring honor to our Liu family."
……
One night half a month later, the four members of the Liu family were waiting for their eldest son to come back for dinner. However, they waited and waited but he never showed up. Even when it was completely dark, Liu Guangqi and his wife still hadn't shown up. Liu Haizhong was very anxious.
"What's going on? Why haven't you come back yet?" Liu Haizhong said anxiously, "Guangfu, go out to the door to greet your elder brother. He's so anxious."
"Okay, Dad!" Liu Guangfu replied seemingly obediently, but in his heart he was cursing Liu Haizhu.
Two hours later, the person still hadn't returned, so Liu Guangfu came in. "Dad, I've been waiting for a long time, but I didn't see anyone. Maybe something happened in the factory? Or it's possible that they have something urgent to do and can't come back." Liu Guangfu said cautiously.
"No, I have to go to the factory to look for him. It would be bad if something happened. You two, come with me to your brother's factory to take a look." Liu Haizhong said.
"Dad, why don't we wait until after dinner? It's so late and we haven't had a drop of water yet!" Liu Guangtian said.
"Eat, eat, eat. All you know is to eat. What else can you do besides eating? Go away quickly. If something happens to your brother, I will beat you to death." Liu Haizhong said angrily.
There was no class, so the two wild dogs could only follow Liu Haizhong to Liu Guangqi's factory with their heads lowered.
When he arrived at the factory, the security guard asked him a lot of questions and finally concluded that Liu Guangqi seemed to no longer work at the factory. If he wanted to know the specific situation, he would have to come to the factory tomorrow to ask.
When Liu Haizhong heard the news, he was struck by lightning. He was completely confused and didn't know what had happened.
Without delay, Liu Haizhong hurried back home, opened Liu Guangqi's door, and then he saw a letter on the desk.
After opening the letter and reading it, Liu Haizhong collapsed to the ground. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"Why? Why on earth? Old woman, tell me why? Am I not good enough to him? How come I am the feudal patriarch? Have I ever touched him?" Liu Haizhong muttered to himself.
