Brother Guo said helplessly, "What else could it be? If you don't go to work on time, who can you blame?"
"This is a company, with its own rules and regulations. You can go if you want, or not if you don't want to. This is like going to a farmers market."
Guo's sister-in-law's family looked embarrassed. They knew about the situation, but there had never been a problem before.
Why are you saying it's no longer possible now? That doesn't make sense.
Guo's aunt said, "Even if that's the reason, you shouldn't have left us uninformed. That's how it is."
"We didn't even know about the assessment yet, this isn't fair to us."
Upon hearing this, the people nearby chimed in, "Yes, yes, now even the kids know it's their fault, and they don't even feel like eating dinner when they get home."
“We’re all family, why can’t we give the child a chance? How can this person be so heartless?”
"Yes, yes, the key is that we're all family, how can we not think about our own family, right?"
“You have no idea what people are saying outside. My child is also upset because of this.”
"Can't we at least give them a chance?"
That's infuriating. It's so self-righteous, like you own the company and can do whatever you want.
This time, Brother Guo didn't hold back either. Without even glancing at them, he said, "This is their own fault. They're all grown up; they need to bear the consequences themselves."
“You make it sound so easy. Jianjun and I are brothers, but that’s precisely why I can’t cause them any more trouble.”
“As the older brother, I haven’t really helped Jianjun and the others much. On the contrary, they’ve always been the ones helping me. Tell me, I feel really guilty.”
"Tell me about yourselves. Whose fault is this? I heard from Zhao Hong that the company had already agreed to performance evaluations, but your kids didn't care or listen. They left work before the scheduled time. What are the company's employees supposed to think?"
"Why are you so special? Others work hard. Anyway, if you want to go find Jianjun this time, go by yourselves."
"I'd better not risk my old face; I still want to save some dignity for myself."
Upon hearing Brother Guo's words, everyone knew that he definitely couldn't help them, and they all looked at Sister-in-law Guo, since they were all her relatives.
Sister-in-law Guo thought for a moment, just about to speak: "Husband."
Brother Guo immediately intervened, saying, "Stop! This doesn't make sense. If I call Jianjun or Tingting later, how will we get along?"
"If you're willing to go, just go and tell them, and then you can go home with them. You can take care of your grandson without any problems."
These words stunned Sister-in-law Guo. In all these decades, she had never heard him say such harsh words. She hesitated and thought it best to let it go.
I have grandchildren now. Although they are important, they can't compare to my own children.
"You guys go back first. I'll look into this matter for you, and we'll talk about it later."
Sister-in-law Guo planned to send them away first, and then let the matter drop.
"Don't worry, I will definitely ask for you. If there is no result, I will not tell you. If there is good news, I will let you know."
Upon hearing this, everyone realized that this was the only option, since Brother Guo was also angry, and they couldn't afford to offend him further.
"Okay, we'll wait for your news now. We need to get this done quickly."
Sister-in-law Guo nodded, indicating that she understood.
After seeing them all off, Sister-in-law Guo was also unhappy and sat there wiping away tears.
When Brother Guo saw this, he wondered why the woman had started crying without saying a word. He said, "Wife, why are you crying? I only said one thing, and you've already taken it to heart?"
“I think what you’re saying isn’t just empty words, it’s what’s on your mind,” Sister-in-law Guo cried sadly.
"Wife, you've misunderstood me. I just wanted them to leave as soon as possible."
"Besides, think about it, if I didn't say that, they definitely wouldn't be able to leave, and we would still have to call Jianjun."
"Tell me, who's to blame for this? Don't you have any idea at all?"
"You don't understand at all how people treat you."
"Think about it, has Jianjun outnumbered us?"
"It's all because of their actions back then that Jianjun and Tingting were so angry."
"If you call Jianjun now, what will they think?"
"Don't you know which is far and which is near?"
Sister-in-law Guo nodded, but still retorted, "What are you saying? They are also my relatives. What do you mean by that?"
“You’re overthinking it. I’m not the kind of person who fawns over others, but honey, you need to think about whether our child is more important or them.”
"If this were your company, let me ask you, if we call Jianjun now, what will happen later?"
“We want his help. Although we’re brothers, things can’t be like they used to be.”
"And our child is still at his third uncle's company. If we just ignore it and arrange a job for someone else, won't his third aunt think that as long as someone in our family works at the company, this whole thing of arranging for relatives to work there will never end?"
Guo's wife understood what her husband meant. Their child was the most important thing. Although she wanted to help them, she couldn't ruin her child's future.
There's no need for that. We have such good resources now, and his third uncle has such a big business, with dozens of companies now.
This is the last chance; we still need to consider the long term.
Having figured it out, Sister-in-law Guo nodded and finally said, "Okay, honey, I'll listen to you. I won't interfere in their affairs anymore."
"We're getting old, and these things won't concern us anymore. We'll just take care of our grandchildren from now on."
Seeing that his wife had finally come to her senses, Brother Guo breathed a sigh of relief.
He was genuinely worried that his wife would be relentless, but now it seems he was quite clear-headed.
