Huang Wanqing's attitude changed very naturally.
Sister Liu was arrogant and domineering, and had no humanity at all.
In front of Xiao Chengda, she put on the appearance of a pitiful and honest farm girl, so simple that it made people feel distressed. She looked weaker than a lamb, like a punching bag that anyone could kick.
Huang Wanqing knelt on the ground, her fists clenched on her thighs, her mouth puckered and a trembling voice leaked out.
"Uncle Xiao, please, I can't lose this job. My mother is in poor health, and I need to earn a salary to take her to the doctor and buy medicine. Without a job, we will all starve to death!"
Xiao Chengda had no idea what was going on.
He walked around the table and helped Huang Wanqing up: "Don't worry, tell me what's going on slowly."
"My water-born person is a little cold, but he won't kill you. You didn't provoke him, so he won't kick you out. Is there a misunderstanding, or did someone say something to you?"
Xiao Chengda was confident that Xiao Shuisheng would not take the initiative to drive his people away.
This is the research institute, and he is Xiao Shuisheng's father. Xiao Shuisheng can't help but consider his face before doing anything, right?
Apart from this reason, Xiao Shuisheng would not have staged a drama of father-son confrontation in the research institute. He is a professor. Doesn't he care about his reputation?
Huang Wanqing's eyes flickered slightly.
Mother was right. Uncle Xiao loved her, but his heart and spirit were inclined towards his own family. If she wanted to completely climb up to Uncle Xiao, her current efforts were not enough.
"Really? But that's what Sun Lei said. He said, no matter how big you are, can you be bigger than Professor Xiao?"
All men care about their reputation. Uncle Xiao would definitely be angry if he was tricked by his own son.
Since it was Sun Lei who said it, it must be almost correct.
Xiao Chengda's face was as black as ash at the bottom of a pot: "Wait here for me, I'll go talk to him, there must be some misunderstanding, just explain it clearly, don't cry, get some water and wash your face, your mother must be distressed by your swollen eyes."
Taoxian is in poor health and cannot stand any stimulation.
If she saw that he didn't protect her daughter, eh...
Xiao Chengda didn't know where to put his old face.
Huang Wanqing nodded obediently, wiped her tears and stood up: "Thank you, Uncle Xiao, but... please don't quarrel with Brother Xiao because of me. At worst, I can take my mother back to the production team and marry an old bachelor or a lame widower. I can always exchange her for some sorghum rice. Life will be a little difficult, but we can survive."
"I'm just an old maid, not worthy of anyone's love. Uncle Xiao doesn't have to worry too much about me. I thought I could find a good job and make money with my own ability, but now it seems that it's too difficult to find a job. Fortunately, there is a way to get married, so I can survive." Huang Wanqing smiled sadly, as pitiful as she could be.
Her mother taught her not to be too proactive in things, as it would make her appear materialistic. Instead, she should take a few steps back. People who are more capable than her will feel sorry for her and will naturally help her.
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?!"
How could Xiao Chengda bear to watch Huang Wanqing marry a widower and a cripple?
"Don't talk nonsense. With Uncle Xiao here, you will definitely have a glorious life in the second half of your life. Just wait patiently. I'll be back soon."
Xiao Shuisheng was too unreasonable. He fired people without asking for his opinion. He wanted to ask why he targeted Huang Wanqing!
Sun Lei followed Huang Wanqing to the door of Xiao Chengda's office. Xiao Chengda walked out angrily. They were both very anxious. The two of them almost touched their toes and hit their foreheads.
Seeing that it was Sun Lei, Xiao Chengda said with a stern face: "I was the one who found him, and you chased him away without asking me?"
Sun Lei didn't want to offend anyone, and he was very angry. He put on a smile, but when he heard Xiao Chengda's words, his smile disappeared. "Pushing someone in is against the rules and regulations, and you still want me to give her a raise, Mr. Xiao, do you think I'm only doing your arrangements for your sake? Don't you understand? I'm only making arrangements for you because of Professor Xiao's face!"
"Professor Xiao doesn't want her to stay, so I definitely can't keep her."
Xiao Chengda glared at Sun Lei and said, "I don't want to waste my time talking to you. I'm going to find Xiao Shuisheng."
Xiao Shuisheng expected his father to come and waited in the office.
Xiao Chengda didn't knock on the door. He pushed it open and stormed in: "Xiao Shuisheng, what do you mean? Why did you fire Huang Wanqing?"
"After getting married, you became so independent that you don't even listen to me."
Xiao Shuisheng's cold and handsome face was also stained with anger. "Why? The lipstick marks on your clothes were deliberately rubbed on by Qin Taoxian. They have no home to return to, so why did they rely on your connections to come to the city? Don't you understand?"
"When you rented a house for them, handled paperwork, used connections to get things done, and took them to buy shoe soles, clothes, and fabrics, did you ever think about my mother's feelings?"
"You may not consider it, but I must. As long as I am here, Huang Wanqing and Qin Taoxian will never be able to stay in any factory in the county."
The cold words formed a sentence and fell into Xiao Chengda's ears.
He sneered.
He nodded.
"Okay, you're following me?"
"Qin Taoxian and I are old acquaintances, just friends. If my friend and daughter are in trouble, how can I be sorry for your mother if I help them?"
"Why are you so cold-hearted? Did Jiang Zao tell you yesterday that there was a lipstick mark on my shirt, and whisper something in your ear?"
I'm not afraid of getting my tongue soured. I thought she was an honest girl, but I never thought she was so gossipy.
Xiao Shuisheng shook his head, a trace of disappointment flashing across his face: "This matter has nothing to do with Zao'er. She only saw the mark on your collar. Everything I did was my own choice."
"What you did was too ugly. Even your own son wouldn't stand by and help you cover it up. If you feel bad, you can scold me. Don't attack Jiang Zao for no reason just to make yourself feel better."
"I'm not as irresponsible as you."
The door was not closed tightly, and Xiao Chengda knew that Sun Lei was outside. His old face was pressed to the ground by his own son and rubbed and scratched back and forth, as if it was burned by fire.
"you……"
"It's simply outrageous!"
"Don't let Wanqing stay here. Fine, go if you want, but don't tell your mother about this!"
Xiao Shuisheng's attitude was even colder than his, and he answered without even thinking: "I can't do it."
"When you chose to bring Qin Taoxian to the city, give her money, help her with work, and buy everything for her daughter, you shouldn't have expected my mother to accept it calmly. Just wish her the best."
Xiao Chengda was so angry that his eyes turned black and he felt very complicated.
On the one hand, he had not resolved the issue of Qin Taoxian and her daughter, and on the other hand, there were the consequences of his wife's anger. Both sides were broken, and the uncomfortable feeling kept pulling at him, and he was about to explode.
But he couldn't bring himself to ask his son for help.
"This family will be torn apart by you two sooner or later!"
He turned away angrily.
Xiao Shuisheng rubbed his temples and closed his eyes. After get off work, he rode his bike to the food factory with his bag. When he saw his young wife discover him, she immediately said goodbye to her friends and pushed her bike towards him. The anger in his heart was gradually soothed.
Jiang Zao took off her bag and put it in his hand: "Guess what I did today?"
