Chapter 119 Complaint

"Come on, didn't you come to pick me up? Why aren't you moving? Are you waiting for lunch?" Wang Yuexue urged them when she saw that they weren't moving.

"Xiaoxue, your Uncle Liu has been driving for a whole day and night. Let's wait for him to rest for a day before we go back," Guan Yu said softly.

When they arrived, the three of them shared the car. At night, Lao Liu usually drove it, while during the day, Guan Yu and He Nian drove it. But that was tiring. Also, Guan Yu wanted to learn more about Tao Ying and Wang Baomin's other family members.

"It's okay, I'll drive," Wang Yuexue said nonchalantly.

"You still dare to drive?" Wang Henian couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

This girl almost lost her life, and she still dared to drive; she's really courting death.

"That's because there were stones placed in the middle of the road, it's not that my driving skills are bad." Wang Yuexue didn't think it was her fault.

"Don't you want me to stay here?" Guan Yu asked bluntly.

"Of course! Don't you two know what kind of people you are? Normally, if you could go back today, would you two stay for a whole day? Are you kidding me? Don't tell me you feel sorry for Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu could never drive for a whole day and night. You two must have taken turns driving." Wang Yuexue bluntly exposed him.

"Let's go." Guan Yu's temper flared up completely; this wretched daughter was worse than no daughter at all.

The family of three walked out of the door and saw Tao Ying and Zhou Daya waiting at the gate.

"Sister, we'll take the kids back first, and come see you again in a while," Guan Yu said to Tao Ying with a smile on her face, very politely.

Guan Yu called him "sister" wholeheartedly. Guan Yu's biggest regret in her life was that she spent her whole life teaching and educating people, but in the end, her own child had a bad relationship with her. It was not just bad, it was like they were enemies.

"Mom, wait for me to go back for a while, I'll be back in a bit," Wang Yuexue said directly.

"Okay, talk to your parents properly. In their hearts, you are still the most important person," Tao Ying said softly.

Actually, this was meant for Wang Henian and Guan Yu, to tell them that she had no intention of taking their daughter away from them.

"Mom, don't try to persuade me anymore. Don't miss me too much during this time," Wang Yuexue said reluctantly, holding onto Tao Ying.

Wang Henian and Guan Yu exchanged a glance, both seeing speechlessness in each other's eyes.

I don't know what's wrong with this child. He probably only noticed that she comes from a good family. If she were a girl from an ordinary family, she would probably have been kicked out long ago, especially since Wang Baomin doesn't seem to like her.

Also, they've only known each other for a few days, what's with this talk of love at first sight? Where did this love at first sight come from? This isn't ancient times, why are you trying to impress them with your body?

If someone doesn't like her, then that's repaying kindness with enmity.

However, neither of them dared to say anything, for fear that Wang Yuexue would refuse to go back with them later.

"Drive carefully, I'll send a telegram to my aunt when I get home," Tao Ying said gently, ignoring Wang Yuexue's words.

"Okay, Mom." Wang Yuexue gave Tao Ying a gentle hug, then got into the car with Wang Henian and Guan Yu.

Tao Ying helped Zhou Daya, and the two of them didn't go back until the car was out of sight.

"Oh my god, that ancestor is gone. Ying'er, do you know those two people?" Zhou Daya sighed.

“I’ve met Wang Henian before,” Tao Ying explained Wang Henian’s identity to Zhou Daya.

"Oh my god, we really shouldn't invite such a living ancestor to our house," Zhou Daya said hastily, startled.

"Hey Mom, I'm planning to go out and do some research. Do you want to come along and have some fun?" Tao Ying only thought of this because of what Grandpa Wang said that day.

I used to think that my grandparents had a good relationship and that the two of them liked to spend time together, but now it seems that's not the case.

The old man didn't like the old woman's control, and the old woman seemed quite annoyed by the old man too.

Tao Ying is going out to meet downstream clients and will be bringing sales staff from two factories with her.

Because of the era, saleswoman Tao Ying only chose men.

Tao Ying's principle was that meals were acceptable, but she disliked drinking culture and insisted that nothing should be sacrificed for the sake of a contract. She emphasized that they were conducting legitimate business, and while business could be terminated, conscience was paramount.

"You're going to discuss business, why would I go with you in this freezing weather?" Zhou Daya quickly refused.

"Mom, it's not even December yet. We're going to the south. Although it's not as warm inside as it is here, it's still above freezing, so it's not that cold. I'll take you for a walk," Tao Ying suggested softly.

"It's too inconvenient to bring an old lady like me along." Zhou Daya was slightly tempted, but still declined.

"Mom, we're just going for a stroll. I'll take you to Nanjing, and then we'll discuss business. You wait for me at the hotel." Tao Ying genuinely wanted to show Zhou Daya around.

Tao Ying really liked the old lady; she was insightful and easygoing, which is something most old ladies possess.

"Shall I go take a look?" Zhou Daya asked tentatively.

"Mom, you're so good to me." Tao Ying affectionately pulled Zhou Daya along.

"We'll have Chunni and Yang Lin come home to stay then," Zhou Daya said with a smile.

"Oh, and you can't bring your dad," Zhou Daya added.

That old bastard, he despises me, doesn't he even know who he works for? Does he really think he's my son?

Now he's relying on his daughter-in-law for a living. If it weren't for her, who would he be? He really thinks he's some kind of RMB, that everyone wants him.

“Why bring my dad? It’s inconvenient. Just the two of us will go. We’re not going to Nanjing for business; we’ll go to Bengbu.” Tao Ying had no intention of bringing Grandpa Wang along.

In the old lady's words, the Wang family has a bad foundation. Although the old man usually doesn't say a word, he is actually the most selfish.

Wang Baomin's selfishness is probably inherited from his father, Old Master Wang.

"That's fine then." Zhou Daya smiled instantly.

They went to the transportation company, where Old Master Wang, whom Wang Baomin had assigned to guard the gate, suddenly sneezed.

Wang Baomin's factory is quite large. It used to be a failed glove factory. Although it has a wall, it is mostly damaged. Wang Baomin just had people plaster it with mud, which is not very useful. This place is only used to park vehicles. The goods are stored in another factory, where the wall is relatively intact.

This area is only about 30 acres in size. Drivers who don't usually drive take turns watching over it, and they also stay here at night to prevent car theft.

Despite years of crackdowns, there are still many people who want to do business without any initial investment.

During the day, everyone mostly stays in the fleet, playing cards, chatting, repairing vehicles, or tidying up the factory.

Wang Baomin explicitly forbade any gambling; anyone caught gambling would be immediately dismissed and never rehired.

Originally, someone had to stay at the gate during the day to keep watch in case anyone came or anything.

Now that Wang Baomin has brought the old man here, everyone simply left.

"Grandpa, you keep an eye on the gate. If anyone or any car comes, just shout to me through the loudspeaker that we're going to build the wall." Wang Baomin brought Grandpa Wang a bag of sunflower seeds, a bag of peanuts, some frozen pears, biscuits, and a cup of tea, along with a box of Daqianmen cigarettes.

Then he ran off without waiting for Old Master Wang's reply.

"We haven't even discussed wages yet!" Old Master Wang shouted, "It's been several days already!"

“I’ll give you 50 cents every day, and at the end of the month, I’ll give it directly to my mother,” Wang Baomin said without hesitation.

"Give me a one-cent raise, give it to me directly, and don't tell your grandma," Grandpa Wang said in a low voice.

That brat has no sense at all. If he just hands it over, how will he ever save up his own money?

“Sir, I’m not doing this kind of thing with you. My eldest sister is coming to check the accounts at the end of the month, and not a single penny can be missing from the books.” Wang Baomin immediately refused.

"Why don't you just give me three yuan a month from your own money?" Old Master Wang really couldn't understand these people.

It's all family business, but they just won't spend the store's money. They always take a salary. Isn't it all their own money? Why be so particular about it?

"Grandpa, if you do this, I'll tell Mom." Wang Baomin glared at the old man.

“Just as stupid as your father. We’re all members of the Wang family. We should unite and work together to take back the right to be in charge. How can we let old women always be in charge?” Old Master Wang whispered to Wang Baomin.

“Grandpa, all the money in our family is earned by my mother. You can’t eat from the bowl and then curse her. If you say that, don’t come here tomorrow. You should go find Wang Baojun. No wonder my grandma always says that there are no good people in our Wang family. I didn’t understand before, but now I finally understand. It turns out the root of the problem is with you.” Wang Baomin looked at the old man with a wary expression.

Old Master Wang: "..."

"Go to hell! I only asked you for three yuan, and you're going to kick me out of the house, is that it?" Old Master Wang suddenly snapped.

Every time I use this phrase to fool Da Shuan, I can always get a few cents. How come it turns into me being the bad guy when it comes to this brat?

“It’s no use hitting me. I’ll just tell Grandma when I get home.” Wang Baomin wasn’t afraid of Grandpa Wang at all.

It's clear now. Even if the master isn't that bad, he must have thought I was easy to manipulate, which is why he came here.

In my mother's words, the biggest drawback of family businesses is nepotism, where relatives take advantage of their connections to amass wealth everywhere.

If I dare to ask myself for three yuan now, I'll dare to ask my driver for thirty tomorrow, and in the future, I'll dare to ask other customers for three hundred.

Wang Baomin cannot and does not want to shoulder this responsibility.

"You little brat, come back here right now!" Old Master Wang was completely numb at this point.

"I'm not going back, sir. Don't even think I'll protect you. If you need money, just ask my grandma. It's a legitimate expense, and she'll never refuse to give it to you. Or do you have some illegitimate expenses?" Wang Baomin asked in a low voice.

"Get lost! How old am I? I don't have much savings of my own. Do you know how hard it is for me to have a little bit of savings?" Old Master Wang felt that his grandson was only there to collect debts.

Not only did they not give her any private money, but they also dared to falsely accuse her of being improper.

"Sir, don't try to change your tactics. I won't fall for it. From now on, I won't listen to a word you say. I'm going to get back to work." Wang Baomin took a step back and left with a serious expression.

Grandpa Wang was completely stunned.

I sighed and complained all day, but couldn't come up with any good solutions.

Meanwhile, Tao Ying had already taken Zhou Daya to a public bathhouse for a thorough cleaning, and then to a hair salon for a one-stop service of washing, cutting, perming, and blow-drying.

Finally, the two went to a clothing store and bought two new outfits, then happily returned home.

Tao Ying's hired nanny, Feng Zhaodi, saw the two of them come in and quickly went over to take their things.

"Xiao Feng, you go about your business, don't worry about us." Tao Ying didn't hand over the things.

"Okay, Sister Tao." Seeing this, Feng Zhaodi didn't bother to come over and quickly went back to her work.

Feng Zhaodi doesn't have many skills, except for her relatively good cooking skills. Back in her hometown, she used to help cook at weddings and funerals in the village. Now that she's come to the city with her husband, she works at a restaurant, starting at five in the morning and ending at eight in the evening, earning twenty yuan a month.

But working at Sister Tao's house, I only need to come over every afternoon. I just do laundry, and the sheets and blankets aren't washed every day. I tidy up the yard and the main room. I only have one meal in the evening, and I basically cook whatever I want to eat. I'm not picky. I can usually go home by myself around 6:30 or 7 pm.

She was paid 35 yuan a month and given two days off a month, so Feng Zhaodi cherished this job and basically did more work and talked less.

We will never intentionally waste a single grain of rice or a single vegetable from our host family; we cherish them as if they were our own.

When Tao Ying and Zhou Daya returned, it was already past three o'clock. They went back to their room to rest for a while.

Putting everything else aside, shopping is really tiring. Tao Ying lay there and fell asleep in no time.

Tao Ying woke up when Tao Chenyang came back, and asked him to go do his homework while she started packing her things.

After a while, Yang Lin, Wang Chunni, Wang Baomin, and Grandpa Wang all returned.

Tao Ying saw Grandpa Wang and Wang Baomin pulling and tugging at each other.

"Baomin, what made your grandfather angry?" Tao Ying asked.

Upon hearing Tao Ying's words, Old Master Wang instantly stood up straight, then, feeling embarrassed, awkwardly touched his nose.

"Baomin, come with me." Tao Ying seemed oblivious to Old Master Wang's embarrassment.

Grandpa Wang remained silent, feeling awkward. Wang Baomin followed Tao Ying out and told her everything in a rambling manner.

"Didn't your grandfather show any signs of it the other day?" Tao Ying asked with a serious expression.

"No, for the past two days, I've basically gone straight to work as soon as I got to the company, and I haven't had much time to talk to my grandfather alone," Wang Baomin said honestly.

"Don't tell your grandma about this. She's getting old, and if she gets upset, she might do something bad. Your grandpa should stay with you for a few days. I'm taking your grandma out for a trip soon. Please look after your grandpa for a bit. When we get back, I'll transfer him back to your grandma's side."

Although the old lady knew what kind of person the old man was, Tao Ying didn't want to upset her at this crucial moment.

To be honest, these two elderly people don't have much of an obligation to support each other; it's all based on affection.

"Mom, I understand. I will keep a close eye on Grandpa," Wang Baomin quickly replied.
