Chapter 411 Go Apologize

Huo Chenzhou sneered, "This matter cannot be left like this."

Shen Zhixia's eyes widened: "What do you want to do?"

She thought the matter was over, since she hadn't lost anything in the end, and the old lady saleswoman hadn't gained any advantage. She was quite satisfied with the outcome.

She was just feeling a little uncomfortable.

Huo Chenzhou smiled and patted her head, saying, "Go to sleep."

All right.

Go to sleep.

Since Huo Chenzhou wasn't going to say anything, she wouldn't ask.

The next day, Shen Zhixia went to work as usual. Huo's mother stayed at home to take care of the children. The two children were already quite old and easy to take care of. Huo's mother could basically let go now and was very relaxed.

After arriving at his office, Huo Chenzhou made a phone call and said to the other party, "Yes, it's about the sales staff at the service center. I think we need to strengthen management and provide more positions for young people. Some of the older staff are not physically strong enough to provide better service, so we need to inject some new blood."

However.

When the elderly saleswoman went home, her daughter looked at her and said angrily, "I heard you went to extort money from Deputy Division Commander Huo's wife?"

Actually, this wasn't the first time she'd done something like this. She's old, so no one dared to do anything to her. She'd extorted money from people around her before.

Sometimes, she would accidentally fall down, and someone would come to help her up. After that person arrived, she would insist that the other person had pushed her down. The other person would be very angry, but there was nothing they could do, and in the end, they would have to pay some money to settle the matter.

Having tasted success, the elderly saleswoman continued to do this kind of thing repeatedly.

Everyone knows what kind of person she is, so they all stay far away from her.

She just didn't expect to run into a tough opponent this time.

It's a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but ending up with a handful of rice instead.

The elderly saleswoman said dejectedly, "What's the use of saying all this now? Anyway, I've already tried, but I didn't succeed. Otherwise, I could have extorted even more money."

Her daughter broke down, saying, "That's Deputy Division Commander Huo's wife! How could you dare offend just anyone?"

The elderly saleswoman said, "Of course I knew she was Deputy Division Commander Huo's wife. That's why I went to see her. You know, she must be very rich. If I could extort more money from her, that would be great. Little did I know she was so shrewd."

She said speechlessly, "Originally, not many people knew about this, but now I feel like everyone knows about it. She must have spread it. She's really cunning."

"Scheming? You know she's scheming, but do you know her man's abilities and power? If her man can get to that position, then he's even more scheming. You've offended them, do you think you'll get away with it?"

Her daughter said angrily, "Mom, you're so old, can't you just stop? I really don't understand why you like to do such petty and underhanded things."

The elderly saleswoman usually likes to take advantage of others, but her daughter is a decent and honest person, though she can't control her.

Her daughter also works nearby and earns a decent income, so she's not poor at all. The old lady who runs the sales shop also uses her own income, which is enough for her. But she just likes to find ways to swindle other people's money.

There's nothing anyone can do about this.

Her daughter said, "You have such a good job at the service center now. Once you retire, your life will be much better. You shouldn't be making such a fuss."

She's been quite lucky; she happened to be in the right place at the right time when she was young, which is why she got this job. It's an easy job, so she's been working there for a long time. Now that she's about to retire, she doesn't have much to do, and if things continue like this, her life will be very smooth.

But she insisted on doing these things, which made her reputation worse and worse.

The elderly saleswoman said excitedly, "Do you think I wanted to do this? I'm doing all this for you! If I can earn a little more money now, I can help you out. You have to cover living expenses and raise children; it's not easy for you."

Her daughter said, "We don't need your help. Our income is enough now, and we can even save some money every month. We're not short of money at all. Besides, you spend all your money on yourself. When have you ever spent money on me? Huh?"

These are all just excuses. The old lady at the sales shop has quite a lot of expenses; she wants to eat out, buy nice clothes and jewelry, but she spends all her own money, and nobody cares. But if you say she's cheating people out of her own pocket, she won't believe it.

She shouldn't take the blame.

Her daughter said discontentedly, "Heiwa said you treat him badly, so you shouldn't take care of him anymore. I'll take care of him."

The elderly saleswoman said aggrievedly, "What do you mean? That's my grandson. Would I harm him? He's young, what does he know? Don't believe anything he says. I'm taking him to find Deputy Division Commander Huo's wife because he was bullied, and I'm going to get justice for him."

"I did it all for the children."

Is it now for the sake of the children again?

Her daughter rolled her eyes: "Mom, you're just lying. Heiwa caught a cold after he came back. He said it was because you took off all his clothes. It was so cold, how could he catch a cold if you treated him like that?"

“You don’t care about his health at all.”

If the old saleswoman had cared about Heiwa even a little, she wouldn't have done such a thing.

But that's exactly what she did.

Upon hearing this, the elderly saleswoman said somewhat guiltily, "I... I did that to produce evidence. If they don't see the evidence, they won't admit that they bullied Heiwa."

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. I bought some candy and wine. Go and give them to Deputy Division Commander Huo’s family to apologize and hope they won’t hold it against them,” her daughter said.

The elderly saleswoman said, "No, why should I apologize to them?"

“You were in the wrong in this matter. If you don’t apologize, what if they retaliate against you?” her daughter said, frowning.

The elderly saleswoman didn't seem to care: "What can they possibly do to me?"

"Fine, if you're not going, I will."

Looking at the fine wine and canned fruit on the table.

The elderly saleswoman's eyes darted around: "Okay, I'll go."

Seeing her daughter's concern for her salary, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Go and apologize properly. If they forgive you, then this matter will be over."
