When Meng Zihan heard that Ye Zhenghua wanted her to pay more money, she instantly broke down, and tears streamed down her face like a broken string of pearls.
"I've worked hard for several days, and I haven't even received my salary yet. How am I supposed to pay back the money? Isn't this putting me in a difficult position?"
With tears in her eyes, she looked at Meng Xueyun with a pitiful expression, hoping that her aunt could say a word for her.
Meng Xueyun was actually somewhat dissatisfied with Meng Zihan.
This child is so ungrateful.
In this situation, it's good enough to find a job at all, let alone be picky.
“Xiaohan, it’s not that your uncle doesn’t want to help you, but any decent job would refuse to hire you as soon as they heard you’d just come out of detention. These two jobs were only agreed to because your uncle assured them you wouldn’t cause trouble.”
“I didn’t tell you before because I was afraid of hurting your feelings, but now I have to let you know.”
"Besides, my job isn't even as good as yours. I have to clean toilets every day and smell that awful odor, but I still keep going!"
"I think this cafeteria job is good. You can start working there first, gain some experience, and then we'll think of something else later."
Meng Xueyun tried to persuade Meng Zihan in a patient and earnest manner, hoping that he could understand their difficulties.
Meng Zihan cried even harder.
She sobbed, "Auntie, this kind of low-level job is exhausting, and you could never climb up the ladder even if you worked your whole life! I don't want to waste my youth on this kind of job!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenghua flew into a rage. He angrily retorted, "What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on us working class? Look at yourself! You have no education, no ability, and you still want to rise to the top in one step?"
"Let me tell you, you're a high school graduate, you can't compare to college students. It's your own fault for not studying hard enough to get into college! If you had Ye Linchen's learning ability, we'd sell everything we own to support your education!"
Ye Zhenghua became increasingly angry as he spoke, and his voice grew louder and louder.
Meng Zihan felt even more wronged. She stood up abruptly and shouted, "In the end, you still look down on me! Now that Ye Linchen has become successful, you treat me like I'm not good enough for your Ye family!"
"Smack!"
Ye Zhenghua could no longer hold back and raised his hand to slap Meng Zihan hard.
"Uncle..."
"You hit me?"
Meng Zihan covered her face, looking at Ye Zhenghua in disbelief.
She had never been beaten before, but now she's being beaten repeatedly. What's going on?
Ye Zhenghua pointed at Meng Zihan and roared, "Hitting you is too lenient! You really don't know your place, you have no skills but your ambition is higher than the sky! Our Ye family has been working hard for you, and you are still not satisfied, complaining about this and that!"
"Let me tell you, if you look down on the Ye family and think the Ye family is not good enough for you, you can leave! Our Ye family is too small to accommodate a big shot like you!"
Meng Zihan was completely stunned by Ye Zhenghua's slap. She covered her face and ran out of the Ye family home crying.
"I'm leaving! I'm leaving! I'm never coming back! You all bullied me!"
Meng Xueyun chased after her, calling out to Meng Zihan several times, but to no avail. She could only turn around and complain to Ye Zhenghua.
"Can't you talk this out properly? Why did you hit her! She's such a big girl, and you've chased her away. Where is she supposed to go now?!"
Ye Zhenghua waved his hand at her, unimpressed.
"She deserves to be taught a lesson! I should have hit her a long time ago, otherwise she wouldn't be in this state!"
"You have no skills whatsoever, yet you dare to run away from home like Ye Linchen."
"With her guts, she slunk back in no time."
Meng Xueyun felt uneasy thinking about what Meng Zihan had just said.
She sighed and said, "That's true, but this child has never suffered hardship since he was little, and he has no money. What if something happens to him?"
"If anything happens, I'll give my life for her, okay!" Ye Zhenghua said impatiently. "I'm the one who's really unlucky, raising such an ungrateful wretch after all my hard work!"
"I went to great lengths to find her a job, but she didn't appreciate it. Fine, I'm not going to interfere in her affairs anymore. She can find whatever job she wants herself."
After saying that, he went back to his bedroom and slammed the door shut.
When Meng Zihan is not around, the air in the house feels fresher; but as soon as she comes back, it makes people inexplicably irritable.
On the other side, Meng Zihan covered her burning face and ran out of the Ye family home crying all the way.
She stopped when she reached the street, looked around blankly, and began to feel worried.
Where can I go?
With only a few dollars on him, no job, and no place to live, he really couldn't go anywhere except the Ye family.
"If I had known, I should have followed Ye Linchen's example and kept all the money in my own hands. That way, I would have had somewhere to go now."
Meng Zihan felt deeply remorseful, but she forgot that Ye Linchen earned all his money through hard work, while she only wanted to reap without sowing.
She wandered aimlessly around the steel mill dormitory area for a while, then suddenly thought of Gu Yifei.
Gu Yifei also got into Jiangcheng University and is definitely at the university now.
She went to him with the slap mark on her face, pretending to be pitiful, hoping he would take pity on her and help her find a good job.
His father was the deputy factory director, much more capable than Ye Zhenghua.
Moreover, it's a good opportunity to visit Jiangcheng University and see how Ye Linchen is doing now.
You can also casually mention to her classmates the things she did in the past, like bullying others and being unfilial, to make her life less comfortable.
Do it as soon as you think of it.
Meng Zihan ran to the bus stop and took a bus to Jiangcheng University.
When Meng Zihan arrived, it was just past lunchtime, and there were people coming and going at the school gate.
