Xue Dingxiang looked at Shen Annian, "How about we go and take a look together?"
Shen An thought: "Then let's go."
On the way to the family compound, the female comrade who came to look for someone told them what happened.
Lao Lin's mother-in-law came to his house, apparently to ask for money.
However, she was not very clear about the specific situation.
When they arrived at the staff dormitory, they heard a burst of shrill shouting and someone crying.
There was a circle of people gathered in an open space in front of the dormitory, seemingly watching the fun.
These are the employees' families. Since the winery was built, many employees' families have moved in.
Xue Dingxiang grabbed a middle-aged woman and asked her, "Sister-in-law, what's going on?"
The sister-in-law knew her and lowered her voice to say, "Director Xue, you're here. It's Lao Lin's mother-in-law who wants to borrow money from him. This amount."
As she spoke, she gestured a number.
Xue Dingxiang frowned. One hundred and twenty yuan was indeed a bit too much.
"It's fine if you just want to borrow money, but why are you arguing outside?"
"Lao Lin said that the factory had just paid one month's salary and that the family had no money, so his mother-in-law was unhappy and insisted on dragging people out for us to judge.
He had just entered the factory when his mother-in-law made such a fuss. He was really a laughing stock.
His mother-in-law is just clueless. She has ruined Old Lin's reputation, and her own daughter and grandson have also been looked down upon."
Shen Annian felt that Comrade Lin’s mother-in-law was not stupid.
She pulled the person out and cried in front of everyone, wasn't it just to put pressure through public opinion?
Xue Dingxiang pushed through the crowd and said, "Make way, everyone, make way."
When the family members saw them coming, they took the initiative to make way for them.
Lao Lin's face flushed red, and after seeing Shen Annian and Xue Dingxiang, he felt embarrassed and ashamed.
"Director Shen, Director Xue, why are you here?"
Xue Dingxiang: "How can we not come and take a look when something like this happens?"
When his mother-in-law heard his call, her triangular eyes rolled around at them and she began to complain.
"Leader, you're here just in time, please give us your opinion on this matter.
I gave birth to my daughter, raised her, and found a good family for her. Now that she is living a good life, she no longer recognizes me as her mother.
If I hadn't really run into trouble this time, I wouldn't have come to them and asked for this.
They are so good. They live a good life themselves and don’t care about us poor relatives.
I gave birth to you and raised you for twenty years, but I never expected you to be such an ungrateful person. I can’t live like this anymore.”
She slapped her thighs and wailed, which sounded creepy.
Lao Lin’s wife was called Jin Cui’er. She was so embarrassed that her face turned red and she wanted to pull the old lady back into the house.
"Mom, let's talk inside if you have anything to say."
The old lady was as still as a mountain. "Why are you pulling me? If you are right, why are you pulling me in?"
I have raised my daughter to this age, and I have never lacked food or clothing for you since you were a child. I have never let you down.
When I was looking for a partner for you, I just wanted you to live a stable life. Li Mazi from the village offered a betrothal gift of 60 yuan, but I didn't agree.
Your father and I have found you a good partner and have given you a good life. Now you are unwilling to help me with something. Are you still a human being?"
Xue Dingxiang saw Jin Cuier biting her lips tightly and lowering her head, not daring to refute her mother's words at all.
He took a step forward and said, "Auntie, if you want us to judge, you have to explain the matter clearly first.
You were crying and howling, and we were confused and had no idea what was going on."
The old lady wiped her eyes and began to tell her why she came to her house.
It turned out that her youngest son was getting married, and her family couldn't afford the betrothal money, so she wanted to come and borrow money.
When Xue Dingxiang was in the countryside, she often saw parents who favored boys over girls. Even if their own daughters were married, they still asked them to support their parents' family.
Because the betrothal gift for one's own son is not enough, he goes to his daughter's house to make trouble. Is there such a thing in the world?
"Auntie, if you ask me, it's not my sister-in-law's turn to pay the betrothal money for her brothers from her natal family.
I think this sister-in-law is kind-hearted. If she really has money, she would definitely lend ten or twenty dollars to her brothers.
I guess they really don't have any money. Even if you talk your heart out, she probably won't be able to come up with that much money."
After hearing what she said, the old lady became unhappy.
"How could she be broke? Her husband works in such a big winery and lives in such a nice house, how could he be broke?
I think she doesn't want to pay this money because she doesn't want to benefit her youngest brother."
Jin Cui'er cried until her eyes were red. She felt embarrassed to be surrounded by so many people for so long. She said timidly, "Mom, I really don't have that much money."
Seeing that the old lady was about to howl again, Shen Annian interrupted her spell.
"Let me say a few words. You all have your own difficulties. Continuing to quarrel like this is not a solution. Let me help you find a solution."
The old lady looked at Shen Annian, "Who are you?"
Xue Dingxiang explained to her, "She is our factory director."
No matter how ignorant the old lady was, she knew that the factory director was a very high-ranking official and she was the highest-ranking official in the winery, so her expression became much more respectful.
Shen An Nian glanced at her and said, “Auntie, what you just said is that you raised this sister-in-law to this age, and she really owes you.
If you get sick or hurt in the future, it's only right for her to spend money on you, but it's not right for her to spend money on her own brothers."
The old lady was anxious, "You can't say that..."
