Chapter 93 Retribution is coming
Xiao Nie asked around and found that no one was willing to do odd jobs these days.
There are many people working here. At this time, most of those who have returned to their hometowns have already gone back. The locals are busy preparing for the New Year and don’t want to come out to work.
There was no other choice, so Zhong Hui decided to hire the three children in her family.
"My store has been very busy recently, so I decided to ask you to come and help with some work, such as collecting money and displaying goods. Who of you is willing to come? I will pay you 20 yuan a day." Zhong Hui asked them with a smile.
"I, I, I'm willing to do it, aunt. I'm strong and looking after the store is a good fit for me." Zhong Xu was the first to sign up.
"Okay, I'll hire you." Zhong Hui agreed with a smile.
"Mom, I'm coming too." Linlin followed closely behind.
Xiaojuan hesitated for a moment and then joined in.
That’s great. After hiring three child workers, the store can finally be run.
The morning was the busiest time in the store, but it was much easier than yesterday. Zhong Xu was strong and helped move goods from the warehouse, and Xiaojuan helped put them on the shelves.
Linlin is good at counting, so she helps with the cashier. With the three of them around, Zhong Hui has more free time and even has time to go next door and chat with Aunt Meihua.
"Auntie, your Tingwen and Tingmei haven't come back yet?"
"Tingwen hasn't had her holiday yet. She said she won't have it until tomorrow. Tingmei has found an internship at a company and won't have her holiday until the day after tomorrow." Aunt Meihua was quite envious when she saw that Zhong Hui had three children to help her.
"There's nothing I can do about it. It's work. I can only take a day off when my boss says so." Zhong Hui said. At this moment, she was particularly satisfied with her freelance job.
"Oh." Aunt Meihua sighed and didn't say anything more. "That old lady Lai is back. I went downstairs to take out the trash last night and saw her sneaking back."
"He should be back for the New Year."
"She should be, but she came back alone. Lai Laosan and his family didn't come with her. I couldn't recognize her when I saw her last night. I haven't seen her for two months, and she looks like she's in her eighties." Aunt Meihua said, shaking her head with emotion.
"It's really a sin to run into a loser like Nie Lao San."
"That's her own fault." Aunt Meihua curled her lips. It was all her own fault.
"She came back alone, and I wonder if Lai Lao Da and Lai Lao Er will take her to celebrate the New Year?"
"I don't think it's possible. When the family was divided, it was so ugly. Mrs. Lai said at the time that she didn't need the eldest and second eldest Lai to support her in her old age."
Zhong Hui shook her head with a sigh. As a person, one should not do things to the extreme and should leave a way out for oneself.
For example, Mrs. Lai is now sitting in the empty house, regretting her past actions and crying.
"Why was I so foolish back then?" Mrs. Lai cried and pounded the stool weakly with her hands.
The third brother became addicted to gambling. He squandered all the demolition compensation and still owed a lot of money.
The debt collectors came to her house and she could no longer live there, so she had no choice but to run away and hide.
The Chinese New Year was approaching, and Lai Laosan took his wife and children to another place. Lai Pozi had no choice but to come back alone.
She has three sons, so how come her life has become like this? She is so old, but she still has to hide from people. When she thought of this, Mrs. Lai couldn't help but feel sad.
"I am miserable, my life is miserable..."
When Lai Lao Da and Lai Lao Er came over, Lai Po was crying bitterly with tears in her eyes, expressing her suffering.
She was really scared after hiding from people for the past two months.
Seeing Lai Lao Da and Lai Lao Er, Mrs. Lai cried even harder: "Lao Da, Lao Er, you are finally here. I have such a miserable life..."
After Mrs. Lai started to cry, both the eldest and second oldest Lai brothers' eyes turned red: "Mom, you've suffered so much."
Mrs. Lai held her two sons and cried, "The New Year is coming soon. Whose house have I visited this year?"
When these words were spoken, Lai Lao Da and Lai Lao Er were stunned. Ever since the family split up, their wives looked at them with disdain, and they didn't dare to take the initiative to take their mother back, especially since the quarrel was so ugly at the beginning.
"Mom, this..." Lai Lao Da and Lai Lao Er looked at Lai Po Zi in embarrassment.
"What? You really don't care about your mother anymore. I raised you with great difficulty..." Mrs. Lai held her two sons and cried.
Lai Lao Da was a filial son. He felt bad when he heard his mother crying so sadly: "Or."
Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Lai Lao Er: "Brother."
Lai Laoer didn't want to take the initiative to do this. His wife had told them before he left that no one could take him over to celebrate the New Year.
The third brother really owes too much money, millions. What if the people who are collecting debts know that they are willing to take their mother back and come to them to collect the debt?
Fortunately, the family had already split up, otherwise, they would all have been killed by the third brother.
Boss Lai had also been reminded of this when he came, but he only remembered it when his younger brother reminded him, and he didn't dare to speak rashly.
"Mom, the third child owes too much. If we take you over, we're afraid the debt collectors will come after us. You're old, so they won't dare to do anything to you."
"Yes, no matter how vicious they are, they can't do anything to an old man like you." Lai Laoer also said hurriedly.
"Well, my second brother and I will buy you some New Year's goods, and you can just live here peacefully until the storm has passed, when it has passed..."
Mrs. Lai looked at Boss Lai expectantly, but Boss Lai couldn't bring himself to say the words "take her over."
Now the wife is the head of the family. Xiaoyun has made it clear that if he dares to take his mother over, he will be kicked out with him.
After just a few months of good times, Boss Lai now knows what's right for him.
Seeing that her two sons really didn't care about her, Mrs. Lai cried even more sadly when she thought about being helpless in the future.
Lai Lao Da and Lai Lao Er looked at their mother with a headache, cursing Lai Lao San in their hearts, and couldn't help but blame their mother. Who told her to be so cruel in the first place?
Lai Lao Da and Lai Lao Er stayed at Lai Po's house for a while, bought some New Year's goods at Zhong Hui's store, and then ran away in a hurry.
"This person still needs to be down-to-earth." Aunt Meihua shook her head repeatedly when she saw this.
Zhong Hui didn't know which one she was talking about.
