Li Jin greeted them, "Come inside, it's home!"

Xiao Cui's mother-in-law and father-in-law led the way, carrying a box of steamed rice cakes, followed by Xiao Cui and her husband, Li Shizhong.

Li Jin was puzzled. The two families didn't usually have much contact, so why was the man bringing gifts when it wasn't a holiday?

However, he soon found out.

"Sixth sister-in-law, I've brought this loose-tongued little hussy here to apologize to you!"

Xiao Cui's mother-in-law smiled broadly and handed the steamed cake to Zhao Sufang.

"She knows she was wrong. When she got back, I gave her a good scolding! Her mouth was like it was spewing filth. You're a magnanimous person, don't take it to heart!"

Zhao Sufang said seriously, "Second sister-in-law, Xiao Cui'er was fired not because of what she said, but because she did not abide by the factory's rules and regulations."

"Think about it, our canned fish is sold in Dongfang City, Yibai Mountain, and Pingshui City. What if someone gets sick from eating the canned fish? Wouldn't that ruin the livelihoods of everyone in Lijiapo?"

"If we don't fire Xiao Cui'er today, others will follow suit, and this factory will go bankrupt sooner or later!"

At this point, Xiao Cui'er's mother-in-law turned around, raised her hand high, and slapped her hard across the face!

"You spendthrift woman, you ruined such a good job!"

Xiao Cui'er didn't dare to say a word, and just sobbed quietly.

"Sixth sister-in-law, how about letting her do odd jobs at the cannery or something?" That way she can earn some cash.

Zhao Sufang was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll give it a try when they recruit again!"

Hearing that Zhao Sufang's tone had softened, the family left with profuse thanks, leaving behind no steamed cakes, taking them with them untouched.

Li Jin glanced at his wife; she was getting difficult to talk to now!

Li Zhen, Li Ping, Li Jiabao: Mother is so awesome!

Li Xiangdong: Damn, the path to becoming a powerful woman has taken a crucial step.
