Chapter 130 Mom, Let’s Divorce You
Father Zhou acted like a mama's boy: "Xiao Cao, just give this job to your sister. There will be more openings in the future, you can take the exam then."
"What do you mean by taking the exam again? I have already accepted the betrothal gift from the Zhang family. Go back and get married. Our family will not support someone who eats for free." Mrs. Zhou was still unyielding.
When Zhou's mother heard the word "Zhang family", she became instantly excited.
"If you want to marry, you can do it yourself. My daughter will not marry a second-time domestic violence man."
She had been trying her best to stop this marriage, but she didn't expect her mother-in-law to secretly accept the betrothal gift.
The youngest son of the Zhang family was born blind in one eye. He had a bad temper since childhood and would get angry at the slightest provocation. It was said that his previous daughter-in-law was beaten to death by him.
No matter how cowardly she was, she would never let her daughter marry such a man.
Mrs. Zhou did not allow anyone to challenge her authority, so she immediately raised her cane and was about to hit her daughter-in-law on the head.
Just as he was about to raise it, he was stopped by Lin Yunxi. The crutch was made of solid wood and had protruding branches. If it was smashed down by him, he would definitely get a bloody head.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't use force."
Zhou Xiaocao also quickly stepped forward and used her petite body caused by long-term malnutrition to block her mother.
"You are not allowed to touch my mother."
When Mrs. Zhou saw Lin Yunxi standing in front of her, she couldn't throw a tantrum for a moment. She hung her head and pointed at Zhou Xiaocao and Zhou's mother who disobeyed her.
"Be fair, how can someone who doesn't respect the elderly be qualified to work in a factory? What do you think of my other granddaughter?"
Then she pushed Zhou Xiaodie in front of Lin Yunxi and praised her endlessly.
"Xiaodie is usually very sensible, respects her elders at home, is hardworking, has good grades in school, and has a good image. How about letting her replace Xiaocao as the leader?"
"Where is the specific procedure done? We can just go there ourselves."
Zhou Xiaodie also looked at Lin Yunxi expectantly, fiddling with her hair from time to time.
Unfortunately, Lin Yunxi was also a woman and didn't fall for her tricks at all.
It seems that so much preparation has been made in the previous part, but it turns out that a favored granddaughter wants to take over the job of an unfavored granddaughter.
If they came from another factory instead of a pharmaceutical factory, it is possible that personnel replacement would really happen.
After all, jobs can be resold in this day and age, and in many families, when their children grow up, parents will give their jobs to their children.
But this is a pharmaceutical factory, and Lin Yunxi has the final say on everything in the factory.
In her opinion, even simple work on the assembly line cannot be resold, let alone financial work that requires some technical skills.
Otherwise, why would she go through all the trouble of organizing the exam? She could just pick a few people she likes to hire the company.
"Our factory does not allow jobs to be transferred or sold to others. If Zhou Xiaocao doesn't want to do this job anymore, she has only one option, which is to go through the resignation procedures. Of course, this is limited to her submitting the resignation report in person."
Lin Yunxi's answer directly shattered all the fantasies of Zhou Xiaodie and Zhou Pozi.
"Xiaocao, what do you think?" she asked.
Zhou Xiaocao straightened his back and said, "I will not resign nor transfer this job. I worked hard to get this job, and no one can take it away from me."
"Yes, yes, yes, we will do it ourselves and not transfer it to others." Mother Zhou was tough for once and immediately agreed.
Over the years, the second branch of their family worked the most and ate the least, but even so, they still could not please their mother-in-law and were bullied.
It was because of her incompetence as a mother that her daughter had to suffer for so long.
Zhou's mother would not give in about this job matter no matter what.
"You are so rebellious. I am not dead yet. I still have the final say in this family. Second brother, take these two disgraceful things away from your family."
Father Zhou had lived under the pressure of Mother Zhou for half his life. He obeyed her every word and then dragged Mother Zhou and Zhou Xiaocao out of the door.
He said in a muffled voice: "Don't make Mom angry here, come home with me."
Zhou's mother had had enough of this cowardly husband. She struggled to break free and protected her daughter behind her.
She collapsed and said, "You coward, I want to divorce you. I will take Xiaocao with me, and you will live with your mother for the rest of your life."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou's father's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at his wife who had been with him for more than 20 years in disbelief.
Mrs. Zhou, on the other hand, looked disdainful: "Divorce? At your age, your parents won't take you in after the divorce."
"What? Are you planning to take that money-losing thing you gave birth to and sleep on the street?"
When Zhou's mother heard this, she immediately calmed down. She only had two brothers in her husband's family, and they couldn't be the masters of the family. The two elder sisters-in-law would definitely not take her and her daughter in.
Just as Zhou's mother was stunned, Zhou Xiaocao spoke up and said in a firm tone.
"Mom, divorce me, and I will support you from now on."
"My monthly salary is at least 30 yuan, and we can rent a small courtyard in a nearby village."
Lin Yunxi added at the right time: "It doesn't have to be so troublesome. The factory's staff dormitory will be built soon. You can apply for it then."
Although the staff dormitory is specially rented to employees whose homes live far away, the rules are dead and alive.
Lin Yunxi is still willing to help people like Zhou Xiaocao and Zhou's mother who can stand on their own.
"Thank you, Director." Zhou Xiaocao said gratefully, then looked at Zhou's mother.
