Liu Yihuan stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, what do you want to buy?"
Pan Xiaohua said, "We're not buying anything, we're just here to take a look."
"Okay, let's read it in the book."
Then Pan Xiaohua saw Lin Yuyao and her eyes lit up. "It's you, that's for sure. I heard from my second brother that you were working for my sister-in-law."
Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "Yes."
After seeing her, Wang was sure that this bookstore was indeed owned by Fu Leyi.
To her, Fu Leyi belongs to Pan Hong, and what belongs to Pan Hong belongs to the Pan family, which means it belongs to her.
I was a little hesitant at first, after all, I was not sure.
Now that it was confirmed, Wang felt completely relaxed.
"Xiaolin, right?"
Lin Yuyao nodded.
"How long have you been working here?"
Lin Yuyao said: "I have been doing this for more than half a year."
"Oh, that wasn't long. How about you?"
She asked Liu Yihuan again.
Liu Yihuan said, "I have been doing this for a year and a half, old lady, what is the reason for you asking these questions?"
"Nothing, I just asked. After all, you guys are working for my family, so I came to see you and it's only right for me to care about you, right?"
They both: “…”
Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "So Auntie is here to care about us. That's right. New Year's Day is almost here, but we haven't received the New Year's Day gifts, nor have we received the promised bonuses. Last month's salary is also in arrears. I thought Sister Le Yi is pregnant now and can't take care of us. I didn't expect that she still thought about us and asked you to do it for her."
Wang was stunned, "What gift, bonus, or salary?"
Lin Yuyao blinked her eyes and asked in confusion, "Auntie, aren't you here to give us our wages and bonuses? We agreed before that there would be extra gifts and bonuses for the New Year and other festivals. The employees in the surrounding stores have received them, but we haven't yet."
Wang: “…”
Pan Xiaohua said, "I'm sorry, my sister-in-law didn't tell us that we were just here to take a look, not to distribute anything."
"Ah? Is that so? Then can you guys help me ask?" Lin Yuyao sighed with embarrassment, "We are workers, working diligently to help the boss run the store, and we look forward to taking that little salary home to celebrate the New Year. Business here is not good, and I know the boss can't even make back his capital, but he can't delay our wages and bonuses, right?"
The two men came for a long time but didn't see anyone. They thought, could it be that business is really bad and they are running a loss-making business, and they can't afford to pay the employees' salaries and bonuses?
If that's the case, there's no point in opening it. I might as well sell it.
Wang smiled awkwardly and stood up from the stool again.
"I'll ask her about this later. Don't worry, little girl. No matter what happens, they can't delay your salary or bonus."
The two men quickly fled the scene.
After they left, Liu Yihuan asked her, "Yuyao, the boss has never owed us wages, why do you say that?"
Lin Yuyao: "If I hadn't said that, they would have stayed and might have planned to take over this bookstore."
"Ah? They are the boss's mother-in-law and sister-in-law?"
"Yes."
"But I remember that the boss's man is her family's son-in-law."
"Yes."
"How dare the live-in son-in-law's mother seize her property?"
Lin Yuyao said: "Only shameless people would come and seize other people's property."
Liu Yihuan took a deep breath, feeling mixed emotions.
I thought to myself, the boss is such a powerful person with a good family background, but he has to endure the bullying of his mother-in-law.
Like her...
She was a little scared before she even got married.
Alas, don’t think too much, just think positively about everything.
The man is someone her aunt knows well, so she doesn't judge him by appearance.
A big family can mediate some minor conflicts.
For the sake of relatives, even if there are big conflicts, they won't get too ugly.
Anyway, it's better than the older generation's blind marriage.
Wang went back and started mumbling to herself.
"Huh, what kind of boss is he? What kind of store is he? I think it's quite big. He even hired two girls to look after it. But the business is so bad. There's no one there. When we walked in, it was so quiet that we could even hear the sound of footsteps. With just a store like this, I don't know how much money it loses every year."
"Mom, you're not seeing things, are you?"
"How could I be wrong? I was wrong. Ask your elder sister. Can she be wrong?"
Huang Chun looked at Pan Xiaohua, "Is there really no one here?"
"Sister-in-law, there really wasn't anyone there. There were only two shop assistants, not even a single person who came to buy anything. When those two heard that we were the second sister-in-law's family, they thought we were there to distribute wages, and they even asked us for money."
"Ah? Why does she keep the store if she doesn't make any money? She might as well just close it."
"My second sister-in-law is the eldest daughter. Her shop is losing money, but her family has the money to pay for her losses. I heard from my second brother before that she opened this shop just to kill time. Her parents gave her money to open it for fun."
Hearing her say this, Wang and Huang Chun felt so distressed.
Both of them looked unhappy.
Originally they were thinking that they and their family might as well live here from now on.
Anyway, the Fu family is so rich. Since we have given them the house, we might as well give them the bookstore as well.
It turns out that he doesn't make money, but loses money.
They have no money to lose.
Pan Xiaohua thought for a moment and said, "It may also be because my second sister-in-law is pregnant and has not taken care of her, so she lost money."
Um?
The two of them thought about it and it made sense.
"Let's not worry about the store for now. The most important thing now is to give birth to the baby safely. Xiaohua, call your second brother later and ask him to come over when he has time. I have something to discuss with him."
"Okay, I'll go there now. I see there's a telephone booth downstairs."
Pan Xiaohua called and the person who answered was Zhang Fangfang. Her face darkened when she heard her voice.
"I'm not free. I won't go."
Pan Xiaohua: “…”
"Auntie, my second brother..."
Beep beep~
The call was hung up before I could finish my sentence.
Pan Hong heard it because he was helping Fu Leyi down from the stairs.
Before he could ask, Zhang Fangfang pouted and said, "It's your sister calling, Pan Hong, I have to tell you, don't forget your identity and what you promised us."
Pan Hong's expression was stiff and he looked at a loss.
Zhang Fangfang didn't give him any face at all and continued, "You are a live-in son-in-law of our family. I gave your mother 2,000 yuan. Go out and ask around. How much money do those who marry their daughters-in-law give?
Other people don’t get this much money even if they marry a daughter-in-law and give birth to a big fat boy. Now you are not allowed to have children and do not allow you to work. We just hope that you can keep your promise and be a son-in-law of our family. If you can’t do this, you might as well divorce Xiaoyi. "
