After attending classes for two days, Su Xiao finally received news from the machinery factory.
Logically, the compensation issue for Su's parents should have been resolved long ago.
It's just that the two factions, Director Shu and Deputy Director Li, are fighting each other, which is why it's been dragging on.
In her past life, Deputy Factory Director Li was one step ahead; in this life… she was quite looking forward to it.
Su Xiao asked Huang Feiyan to help her get a leave of absence, and went to the machinery factory alone.
The old man at the gate recognized her. When he saw her coming, he immediately opened the door for her to register, and kindly reminded her, "Little girl, your grandparents and uncle and aunt have already gone inside. They seem a bit intimidating, so be careful. But don't be afraid, the factory leaders will stand up for you."
"Thank you, sir." Su Xiao thanked him with a smile, but as she blinked, a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes. Not to be trifled with, huh? Well, she wasn't to be trifled with either.
As Su Xiao approached the building, she heard crying and commotion coming from inside.
“My son and daughter-in-law died so tragically. The factory leaders must give us justice. How long has this been dragging on… It’s heartbreaking to see an elderly person bury their child. I haven’t been able to sleep well these past few nights, and I dream about my son every day. He says he’s in pain… My son is so filial. He said he couldn’t fulfill his filial duties to us old folks, and he’ll die with regrets and a heavy heart…”
The old lady spoke with tears streaming down her face, and several sentimental women were also moved to tears by her words.
Su Xiao pursed her lips. Influenced by the original owner of this body, she had mixed feelings about this grandmother.
"Grandma, please don't cry. My dad is a dutiful son; he'd die with regrets if he knew you were having sleepless nights because of him. As for taking care of you in your old age, don't worry. I believe your uncle is just as dutiful and would never watch you go hungry or cold..."
Su Xiao walked into the office, and everyone's eyes turned to her.
When Grandma Su saw Su Xiao enter, her expression paused slightly, then she burst into another round of wailing and lamentation, “Oh, my child, how could you leave like this? Leaving us two old folks behind, how are we going to live at our age… Your eldest brother is a good-for-nothing, he has four children to raise. Now that you’re gone, you’re leaving all the burdens on his shoulders. What will he do? He has elderly parents and young children to support. You’re going to crush your eldest brother… Second son, I raised you from infancy, I never imagined…”
Shu Zhendong frowned slightly and gave Zhou Yan a wink.
"Alright, Grandma, take a break, have some water, and rest a bit." Secretary Zhou immediately understood and pushed the white porcelain mug towards Grandma Su, acting as a peacemaker. "Look, everyone's here, can we start talking about business now?"
Grandma Su hiccuped, wiped away her tears, calmed herself down, and with trembling hands took out a neatly folded handkerchief with a big red "double happiness" character printed on it from her pocket. She wiped her tears as she said, "Then let's begin."
Su Dayong, who was standing nearby, nudged Liu Cuihua's arm and gave her a wink.
Following Su Dayong's gaze, Liu Cuihua immediately understood his meaning. She eagerly picked up the water jug on the table and handed it to Grandma Su, saying ingratiatingly, "Mom, please have some water."
To be honest, she was pleasantly surprised by the old lady's performance today.
Previously, the old lady had always favored the second son's family, but unexpectedly, today the old lady's words seemed to be in her favor.
On second thought, it makes sense. Her youngest son is gone, and the elderly couple will have to rely on her husband to make a living.
