Chapter 650: All live-in sons-in-law are repressed

Chapter 650: All live-in sons-in-law are repressed

Li Ye sent Sister Zhen and Zhen Rongrong to school. The girls chattered all the way, discussing whether Chen Juming could defeat Cao Yuanmao in the end.

This scene made Li Ye sigh: "Palace fighting dramas really have a broad mass base!"

It’s fine that Fu Yiru likes to listen to gossip, but Wen Leyu, who doesn’t like to talk much, also likes to discuss it. Women’s nature is indeed extremely powerful.

Not only did they discuss it among themselves, but on the way back to San Francisco, they asked Li Ye: "Brother, do you think Cao Yuanmao would be so cruel as to attack his own wife?"

Li Ye pondered for a moment and said cautiously: "It depends on whether they have feelings for each other. A marriage without feelings is definitely unstable and unhappy.

The environment here at the Lighthouse is different from ours, but I believe that couples who really go to extremes are very rare.”

Fu Yiruo agreed and said, "Brother, you are right. Marriages without love are indeed prone to tragedy. It's better in the mainland where we don't value money more than life."

“.”

Li Ye glanced at Fu Yiru and wondered whether he should give her a warning lesson someday.

In the lighthouse, people value money more than life. Is it the same in the inland areas in the future?

Why did the son-in-law party fail later on? Wasn’t it because a few individual guys blocked the way for those who came later?

Getting promoted, getting rich, and getting married, the first two items have been achieved, so isn’t the only thing left the last one?

This led to the subsequent upgrade of the father-in-law version to 2.0.

Either your wife rises to the top, or you both remain unknown, or you just stay put and I will kill you if I have the ability.

But if I can kill you, what's the point? If you only have enough food and clothing for your whole life, but your path to promotion is not as good as others, then are you still a son-in-law party?

The mainland's son-in-law who lives with the wife's family is different from the Japanese system of adopted sons-in-law. Adopted sons-in-law really sell themselves, but they are also treated as sons. Can the mainland's son-in-law who lives with the wife's family inherit other people's property?

Therefore, most of the sons-in-law in the world are depressed.

After being suppressed, the evil things begin to happen!

Therefore, men still have to rely on themselves.

Just like Li Ye, even Wen Leyu and Teacher Ke would not look down on him, but would be afraid that he would be indecisive and be seduced away by others!

. . . . . . . .

Li Ye, Wen Leyu and Fu Yiruo walked away chatting about gossip, but Zhen Rongrong went up to the dormitory building with a heavy heart.

It's not that she was dissatisfied with today's result, she was just wondering how Ruan Shujun would treat her later.

When Zhen Rongrong opened the door of the dormitory, she noticed that the several packages piled on the ground this morning had all been put away by Ruan Shujun.

Then she heard Ruan Shujun's voice: "Rongrong, you came back earlier today than yesterday. Your classmate sent you back, right? I just heard the sound of a car outside the window."

"Yes, my classmate sent me back."

Zhen Rongrong silently changed her shoes and sat on her bed, wondering how to tell Ruan Shujun what happened today.

But Ruan Shujun spoke first: "Hey, Rongrong, didn't you bring me food today? Oh, it's okay, I just helped you pack up and took two pieces of Daoxiangcun snacks to fill my stomach. I'm not hungry now."

Zhen Rongrong felt irritated for no reason.

What do you mean you're not hungry now?

I'm just working to cover for you. When should I care whether you're hungry or not?

【Fortunately, I am free today. 】

Zhen Rongrong reached for the check in her bag and said, "Shujun, today the restaurant owner Cao asked me to inform you that since you haven't been to work for three days, you don't have to work for him anymore."

“.”

"What!!!"

Ruan Shujun was stunned for a moment, then burst into a high-pitched shout.

"Rongrong, what's going on? Didn't I ask you to go to work for me? Why are you looking for me? Did you offend Boss Cao?"

“.”

Zhen Rongrong slowly raised her head and looked at Ruan Shujun who was full of anger.

This is the "good friend" that I take care of wholeheartedly. This is the good classmate for whom I waste my study time and sweat to help her.

Is it really comfortable to be a waiter? Is there any good job in serving people?

Zhen Rongrong put the check she had taken out back into her bag, then opened her wallet and counted out a few US dollars.

"If you want to know the reason for your dismissal, you can call the restaurant now and ask. This is the seven days' wages the restaurant owes you, a total of thirty-five hours, two dollars and fifty cents per hour, a total of eighty-seven dollars and fifty cents."

“.”

Ruan Shujun looked down at the dozens of dollars that Zhen Rongrong handed over and said aggrievedly, "Rongrong, this is not right! Let's not talk about what happened today, but the wages are not right!

The restaurant should owe me two weeks' pay, a total of $175, you can't"

"Where do you get two weeks' salary?" Zhen Rongrong interrupted Ruan Shujun and said, "When I went to replace you, the restaurant owed you a week's salary and said that you had to go there in person to pay the bill.

The second week I will work for you. Why? Do I have to give you the fruits of my labor?"

Ruan Shujun looked at Zhen Rongrong in surprise, closed her mouth and held her breath. Soon her eyes turned red and mist came out of her eyes.

"Rongrong, how could you do this to me? You clearly know that I am a self-funded student and that I urgently need the money to pay for tuition and medical expenses, so why are you still fussing with me?"

"And you also lost my job. Without this job, how can I save money for tuition in the future? Wuwuwu~"

Zhen Rongrong felt a little soft-hearted when she saw Ruan Shujun holding back her tears.

So she explained carefully: "Sister Zhen and I were both fired today. Sister Zhen asked Ah Sheng in the kitchen, and it was because there were new illegal immigrants who wanted to work in the restaurant, so two men replaced the three of us women."

But before Zhen Rongrong finished, Ruan Shujun said angrily: "But no one can replace me. You must have offended Boss Cao. People have to bow their heads under the eaves. Did you get stubborn with Boss Cao?"

Zhen Rongrong stood up suddenly, took two steps forward and stood in front of Ruan Shujun, staring at her and said, "I'm not under the roof of Cao, why should I bow to him? If you think it's not your problem, go and call and ask now."

Ruan Shujun was startled by Zhen Rongrong who suddenly rushed over.

When Zhen Rongrong was in Peking University, she was also the class monitor in charge of dozens of people. If she really got aggressive, she would not be so easy to bully.

"I'm going to ask right now. I'm going to ask right now. I don't believe she will quit me."

Ruan Shujun walked to the phone and dialed the number of Cao's Restaurant.

After the call was connected, Ruan Shujun, who had been crying just now, immediately changed her voice. She looked for Cao Yuanmao softly and asked and begged in a gentle voice.

But as she spoke, Ruan Shujun's eyes widened.

Due to the influence of lawyer Irina, Cao Yuanmao did not put the blame on Zhen Rongrong, but he told the truth about the two thousand dollars.

So after Ruan Shujun finished the call, she asked Zhen Rongrong for money with confidence.

"Zhen Rongrong, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Boss Cao clearly compensated me two thousand dollars, but you deducted more than one thousand nine hundred and only gave me eighty-seven and a half dollars. How could you be so black-hearted? Even capitalists are not as exploitative as you."

There was no mercy left in Zhen Rongrong's heart.

She looked at Ruan Shujun coldly and said, "Why do you think that the two thousand dollars is compensation to you? When did a restaurant in Chinatown pay so much money to illegal workers?"

Ruan Shujun refused to give in and said, "But it is true that Boss Cao gave you a check for two thousand dollars, right? Why did he give you two thousand dollars?"

Zhen Rongrong said calmly, "Boss Cao didn't give me two thousand dollars. He gave two thousand dollars to the lawyer. If you have the ability, you can also hire a lawyer to ask Cao Yuanmao for compensation."

“.”

Ruan Shujun was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly became angry and shouted at Zhen Rongrong like a mad woman.

"I don't care. You're the one who made me lose my job. Boss Cao gave me 2,000 yuan, and you must give me every penny less. If you give me even a penny less, I will tell everyone that you, Zhen Rongrong, stole money from my compatriots."

"Pah~"

Zhen Rongrong slapped Ruan Shujun in the face, almost knocking her unconscious.

"You said I stole your money, right? Now let's go find Liu Dongsheng and call all the international students over to comment on who is right and who is wrong."

Zhen Rongrong's heart went cold, and her words were devoid of emotion.

Liu Dongsheng is a key figure among the international students in their school, and he also pursued Ruan Shujun. If the matter gets out of hand, Ruan Shujun's already precarious reputation will completely collapse.

"You hit me, you actually hit me, okay, I'm calling the police now."

Zhen Rongrong grabbed Ruan Shujun's hair and said sternly, "Go ahead and report it! I won't admit it. Let's see if the patrolman will waste his time here."

Ruan Shujun cried.

A Chinese restaurant was robbed, but the patrol police didn't care much. If two girls from mainland China were fighting, would anyone care in the middle of the night?

“.”

That night, Ruan Shujun cried non-stop, and Zhen Rongrong couldn't sleep all night, but her heart didn't soften at all.
