"Ah Xiao, Xiangyi, what's going on?" Xie's mother asked when she saw Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi coming out.
Lin Xiangyi wanted to deal with this matter, but Xie Qingxiao didn't want to get involved. He turned around and walked towards Aunt Zhao to tease his son.
Aunt Zhao asked anxiously, "Ah Xiao, did Shengnan do something wrong?"
"No," Xie Qingxiao said.
Aunt Zhao was relieved immediately.
When Xie Sanniang saw Lin Xiangyi coming out, she dodged with a guilty look, and soon cried, "Xiangyi, I already know I was wrong. I will never be late or leave early again, and I will take my work seriously! But Shengnan fired me, how could she fire me just like that, and she only fired me? She must be targeting me!"
"Her third aunt, our Shengnan..." Aunt Zhao wanted to say a few words for her daughter.
"Aunt San, I've already told Shengnan to send those who have more things to do at home back home. Since she asked you to go home, it means she thinks you have more things to do at home, so she asked you to go home to deal with them. She means well, and it's not targeting you at all," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile.
Xie Sanniang choked. She could see that Lin Xiangyi was on Gao Shengnan's side!
So she looked at Xie's father and mother and was about to burst into tears again: "Second brother and second sister-in-law——"
"Don't!" Mother Xie pieced together some of the inside story from the few words of Lin Xiangyi and Aunt Zhao, and immediately said:
"Third sister-in-law, my old man and I don't know what's going on. It's useless for you to tell us. Besides, Xiangyi is the one who makes the decision about the workshop. You should just tell her."
Xie Sanniang suddenly felt like there was something stuck in her throat.
Isn't what Xie's mother meant to say that the workshop belongs to Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi, and they have no say in the matter and can't help her?
She looked at Lin Xiangyi with tears in her eyes again, wanting to say something.
Lin Xiangyi looked at Master Xie San, who had been silent and let Xie Sanniang cry, and said with a smile: "Uncle San, please persuade Aunt San as well. You see, one of your cousins and one of your sisters-in-law have come to work here, leaving only your sister-in-law and cousin at home to do farm work and housework, and also to take care of three or four children. It must be difficult to keep busy, right?
Then it is a good idea to let Aunt San go home to help. My cousin is doing this for the good of your family, what do you think? "
Her voice was polite and gentle, but it made Mr. Xie shiver.
He and Xie Sanniang had three daughters and two sons, all of whom were married, and the remaining two sons were married and had children.
After the establishment of Xie's workshop, in addition to Xie Sanniang, his family also had a son and a daughter-in-law who came to work in Xie's workshop. He pulled the goods, his son did the moving, and Xie Sanniang and her daughter-in-law did the cleaning.
Lin Xiangyi is threatening him. If his wife continues to make trouble, his work and that of his son and daughter-in-law will also be affected?
"That's true," Mr. Xie San nodded in agreement, pulled Ms. Xie San and said with a smile:
"Ahem, my wife Xiangyi is right. There are so many things to do at home. It will be easier if you go back to help. Xiangyi and Shengnan are also thinking about us. Let's just forget it..."
"What do you mean we're too busy? We're already..." Xie Sanniang wanted to say that although there was a lot of work to do at home, they had also hired people to help with the farm work, so there was no need for her to go back to help.
Mr. Xie gave her a warning look.
Xie Sanniang was pinched by him and immediately shut her mouth.
"Then Xiangyi, Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law, Axiao, and Sister Zhao," Third Master Xie greeted them one by one: "Are you ready to eat? Then we won't disturb you and will go back first!"
"Yes, I'm just about to eat," Lin Xiangyi said politely with a smile, "Do you and Aunt San want to stay and eat?"
Of course the couple didn't want to stay: "No, no, our family has already prepared our meal, let's go back and eat it to avoid wasting it."
Lin Xiangyi: "Is that so? Okay then."
Mr. Xie Sanye and Mrs. Xie Sanniang walked towards the door and happened to meet Gao Shengnan who was returning from the workshop.
Mr. Xie Sanye greeted Gao Shengnan with a smile.
Xie Sanniang was not so polite. She snorted and walked away with a displeased look.
Mr. Xie Sanye quickly caught up with her.
"Old man, why didn't you let me continue speaking just now?" After leaving the door, Xie Sanniang was so angry that she turned around and questioned.
"Do you really think that firing you was the decision of Gao Shengnan alone?" asked Mr. Xie San.
Xie Sanniang frowned: "You mean Lin Xiangyi asked her to fire me?"
"Even if she didn't ask me to do it, it must have been her idea!"
Xie Sanniang's eyes turned red, and she felt wronged: "No, why is she targeting me like this? I haven't done anything to let her down, and I've been so kind to her that I almost knelt down and called her my slave!"
She just couldn't stand Gao Shengnan. Why did she get the right to manage the workshop?
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful not to be overheard," Xie San hurriedly stopped her, and then lowered his voice and said:
"Why did she let Gao Shengnan manage the workshop? Although the second sister-in-law went back to take care of her children, the second brother is still here, and the eldest sister-in-law is not going to come back, but she still appointed Gao Shengnan to manage the workshop. Why?
This means that she and A Xiao have long been dissatisfied with the situation in the workshop and wanted Gao Shengnan to change the status quo. But you ended up running into the crossbow. If she doesn't hit you for being the first to stand out, who else can she hit?"
He just came to his senses.
It was true that Lin Xiangyi did mean to warn them, and she also needed Xie Sanniang to make an example of her, but she didn't really want to fall out with them, otherwise she wouldn't have spoken to them in such a polite tone.
Xie Sanniang was struck by lightning.
"Okay, let's just let it go. You can go home and take care of your grandchildren in the future," said Mr. Xie San. Fearing that Mrs. Xie San might get angry and cause trouble, he added:
"Just think of it as the job of me, my son and my daughter-in-law. You don't want to cause us to lose our jobs, right? Then our family's living standards will really go back to the pre-liberation era!"
…
"Xiangyi, is Third Aunt here to make trouble again?" Gao Shengnan asked after watching Mr. and Mrs. Xie Sanye leave.
Lin Xiangyi: "Almost. But it's all resolved. I guess they won't come here to cause trouble again."
Mr. Xie Sanye should have understood what she meant.
If he had been smarter, he would not have allowed Xie Sanniang to make trouble again.
Gao Shengnan breathed a sigh of relief. That was fine. She smiled and said, "Xiangyi, I shouldn't have misunderstood you, right?"
"Do you really understand what that look of mine means?" Lin Xiangyi was surprised.
"I roughly guessed it, and now it seems that I was right," Gao Shengnan blinked.
"You really guessed it right," Lin Xiangyi praised: "You are so smart!"
"No," Gao Shengnan waved her hand and laughed, "It's just that we have such good tacit understanding!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed a gaze coming from the side.
