"You heard it too?"
Zhao's mother threw down the empty basket and sat down angrily.
Mr. Zhao rubbed his throbbing forehead wearily. "The factory sent someone to deliver my suspension notice."
I...I was laid off too!
He felt incredibly ashamed when he thought about the hesitant look in his colleague's eyes when he brought the notice that morning, and the accusatory yet insightful words he received at the end!
When has he ever been humiliated like this at the factory? How dare a junior tell him what to do!
"Mom! Me too! The factory told me to take a break and not go to work! They said it would have a bad influence!"
Zhao Qiang covered his face and started crying. He hadn't even found a job yet, and now this job that he had always looked down on was gone too!
They told him to rest first, but he's certain the next step is to get fired!
Upon hearing this, Liu Chun collapsed to the ground. Could it be that she too would follow in her sister-in-law's footsteps? But her sister-in-law only had one child, while she had two! She couldn't bear to leave them behind!
"Mom and Dad, let's go and beg Liangzi for mercy! If this continues, our whole family will starve!"
Zhao Gang sat motionless with a bruised and swollen face, but upon hearing this, he sneered, "You didn't see it clearly last night?"
Zhao Liang hates us to the core! Going to beg him will only bring us humiliation!
"We might as well go all the way and get Boss Mu's matter sorted out!"
He thought about it for a long time. He had already offended the Bai family badly, and now there was no way out!
However, Zhao's parents were absolutely unwilling.
"What do you want to do? Aren't you embarrassed enough? We're getting yelled at and pointed at when we go out now!"
"Gangzi, I know what you're thinking, but you better keep your little schemes to yourself!"
"I've already lost enough face, do you want me and your mother to die?"
If it were revealed that Zhao Liang is a pervert, then he would truly lose all humanity!
Zhao Gang, however, was determined: "Mom and Dad, things are already like this, can they get any worse?"
"Why not take a gamble? Bet Boss Mu will win! Boss, what do you think?"
Liu Chun lowered her hand and glared fiercely at the third brother. "It's all your fault! If you hadn't been so greedy, our family wouldn't have ended up like this!"
"Qiangzi, don't listen to him! He's utterly useless and only causes trouble!"
The elderly couple also tried to calm Zhao Qiang down.
The third brother is no match for those guys! Going there would just be him being sent to his death!
Zhao Gang didn't even look at her, but stared intently at the boss, waiting for him to make a decision.
Zhao Qiang lowered his hand, his face contorted in a grimace. "Mom and Dad, wife, I'm not reconciled!"
I'm not willing to be sent back to the countryside like this! I finally managed to wash the mud off my legs, I don't want to spend the rest of my life as a peasant again!
Upon hearing this, only Zhao Gang, who shared the same thought, smiled, while the other three shook their heads with bitter expressions.
Zhao's father waved wearily, "I can't take care of you anymore. Your mother and I are taking the three children back to our hometown tomorrow!"
They've saved a lot of money over the years, plus a thousand yuan from their second son, enough for their retirement.
Liu Chun was also conflicted, but when she thought of her two children, she gritted her teeth and said, "Mom and Dad, I'll go with you!"
The elderly couple exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement. They were getting old, and their child needed his mother's care.
The two brothers didn't stop them. If they succeeded, they could bring their parents, children, and wives back. If they failed, they could simply live a good life in the countryside away from the gossip.
