Feng Yong clutched his head and squatted at the doorway in anguish; the sky had fallen!
He had just been called over by his fiancée, and the bride price had to be increased again. The original agreed-upon five hundred yuan was to be increased by three hundred and eighty-eight, to make up the auspicious number eighty-eight-eight. There were also various other items, and each additional item would weigh him down.
After leaving his fiancée's house, Feng Yong thought of his father, a master tailor at a clothing factory who earned a high salary, and felt that he could grit his teeth and get through it.
Master Feng has been fired!
Everything's alright!
Tian Dani collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, but when she saw her youngest son squatting on the ground, hitting his head in pain, she suddenly felt that she had to live a few more years.
If she were gone, the genius would truly be gone!
The eldest son, Feng Caiying, died young. His wife remarried with their two children. Although she remarried, she did not change the children's surname. The Feng family is responsible for the children's daily expenses.
The youngest son, Feng Yong, is a good-for-nothing. In his thirties, he's still a temporary worker. It's rare for him to find a girl willing to marry him, but the bride price is very high, so he grits his teeth and bears it.
Although the old man was the undisputed master craftsman of the garment factory, he never competed for anything, had heavy workloads, and often took the blame for those with connections. His treatment was only slightly better than that of ordinary workers, far less than that of the leaders with connections, yet he was the most important source of income for the Feng family.
Tian Dani repeatedly told her not to cause any trouble before her daughter-in-law entered the family, and to swallow any grievances she might have.
He got fired!
Tian Dani lost her temper and grabbed Master Feng, hitting him hard: "Are you out of your mind! You'd better die in the factory! You'll get compensation if you die! You have no job! Do you want your family to live?"
The bride price for the youngest son, the child support for the two children—none of these require money!
Master Feng stood still and obediently took the beating; he had nothing to say about being fired.
He doesn't consider the consequences of his actions; he'll accept whatever comes his way!
After the New Year, the garment factory was in a state of decline, with orders plummeting and most workshops shutting down, causing widespread panic.
In recent years, many small and medium-sized factories in Beijing have closed down. People no longer have the unrealistic expectation that everything will be fine with the government's support. If they can't continue operating, they simply close down.
Master Feng was already cautious, and because he was sensitive to the situation, he became even more afraid to step forward, watching helplessly as his old friends were kicked out one by one on some pretext.
It's said to be for the purpose of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, but those with connections who don't do any work are still living a life of luxury, completely unaffected.
Master Feng absolutely could not lose this income, so he endured everything until one of his apprentices was 'bullied'.
Seeing his apprentice, who was about the same age as his granddaughter, Master Feng couldn't bear it any longer and stood up for himself, and was fired!
After hearing this, Tian Dani slammed her fist on the table in disbelief: "What kind of nonsense is this? This is an act of heroism! A few years ago, you would have received an award and a prize!"
Master Feng rarely showed a tearful expression: "In the end, the girl changed her story in front of the factory leaders, saying that I 'bullied' her!"
Tian Dani: !!!
Feng Yong: !!!
Feng Yong was stunned by these words. Could the factory leaders really believe such a thing?
His father is an honest man who has worked hard in the garment factory since he was young. Now, the old masters in the garment factory have left or gone elsewhere, and his father is the only one who can still take charge. Currently, his father is in charge of one of the few production lines in the garment factory.
His father is gone, so the garment factory is shutting down?
Tian Dani was completely speechless. The old man had good intentions, but he had encountered one bad apple after another.
That's just how fate is, there's nothing we can do about it!
Tian Dani paced back and forth, urging Master Feng to come up with a solution quickly, considering the bride price for her youngest son and the child support for her two children.
“Our family has a heavy burden, so we must hurry up and find a job. Also, we absolutely cannot let our younger daughter-in-law's family find out…”
Feng Yong remembered the important matter: "Dad, Mom, my wife has made another request. She wants more money, to reach 888, and she doesn't want the old-fashioned bed anymore. She wants the latest Simmons mattress, and..."
Tian Dani became increasingly confused as she listened, and then she closed her eyes and fainted.
"Old woman!"
"mom!"

The garment factory seems to be going out of business.
Zhou Hongyu vaguely heard the news, and her mood inexplicably improved as she drank tea in the shop.
She knew it was immoral of her to think this way; if the largest clothing factory in the capital went bankrupt, many families would suddenly lose their livelihoods.
However, as soon as she thought about the huge benefits she could gain from it, she threw her sense of morality to the back of her mind. There were plenty of immoral rich people out there, so one more or one less wouldn't make a difference.
Moreover, once she expands and strengthens her business, she can provide even more job opportunities.
One whale falls and all things come to life.
She wants the same lucrative opportunities that people with connections can enjoy!

Grandma Chen was dozing off at home when her eldest granddaughter ran over to tell her that Grandma Feng, who lived in a nearby alley, had arrived!
What is Tian Dani doing here?
When the eldest son of the Feng family was still alive, the garment factory was thriving, and the Feng family was incredibly successful.
Because the men in her family were useless and they lived in poverty, Chen Pozi would ask her eldest daughter for money every few days, which made her the laughing stock of the neighborhood. She was very jealous of the Feng family at the time.
The Feng family has had a tough few years. Their eldest son died, their eldest daughter-in-law remarried with two children, their younger son can't find a wife, and their garment factory is going downhill... Could it be that Tian Dani came to borrow money?
Hmph! Not a single penny will be lent!
"Da Ya, see the guests out..."
Seeing Tian Dani carrying a large basket full of things, Granny Chen's face immediately lit up with a smile, and she ran over to take the basket from her.
"Neighbors, you're already here, why bring anything else!"
After saying that, he immediately told Daya to take the basket down.
Granny Chen was determined that whatever Tian Dani wanted today, she would never be able to take back what she had brought!
Granny Chen's eating manners were so unsightly that Tian Dani, who hadn't seen anything like it in a long time, was momentarily stunned.
Da Ya turned around and gave Tian Dani a bowl of leftover tea.
Granny Chen even wore an expression that said, "Our family is very generous."
Tian Dani gripped the rim of the bowl, her liver aching with anger. If she didn't have a grudge against someone, she would have turned and left as soon as she encountered this kind of thing.
Before Tian Dani could speak, Granny Chen interrupted, "Let's make it clear first, no talking about borrowing money! You brought things with you, but that was your own choice!"
Ouch!
Tian Dani felt like she was going to die of anger at the Chen family!
Tian Dani pounded her chest: "I don't want to lend you money, I just want to ask you something. I heard Zhao Di is doing quite well lately..."
Old Mrs. Chen interrupted immediately, clearly displeased: "Even finding a job won't work!"
The eldest daughter came back specifically to tell her that Zhou Hongyu was a favorite of the big boss, and was sharp-tongued and mean-spirited. She absolutely forbade introducing relatives to the boss, otherwise it would also cause her to lose her job.
Then I won't be able to support my maternal family anymore.
Tian Dani, barely clinging to life, said, "It's not about finding a job, but it's somewhat related to it. However, I'm not asking you to help me find a job!"
