When Yan Suhua heard her slandering her daughter like that, she could no longer tolerate it.
He rushed forward and grabbed Chen's mother's hair again, yelling, "I'll teach you to spew filth from your mouth..."
Just as Yan Suhua was about to make a move, Xie Fengxia stopped her.
Then, Xie Fengxia knelt down in front of Chen's mother with a "thud".
Then he kowtowed three times to Chen's mother, saying, "Please don't beg me, I'm begging you, please spare my life!"
I weighed 110 pounds when I married into your family, but now I only weigh 80 pounds. I'm only 20 years old! Look at all the white hair on my head, sob sob sob...
The uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters-in-law in the neighborhood all saw what kind of life I've led during the past six months at your Chen family's house. I got pregnant twice in those six months, but both times I miscarried because I was too exhausted. Waaah…
You told everyone that I should give up my work to Chen Yin and rest at home to recover, but what actually happened... sob sob sob..."
"I only asked for 1,600 yuan from you in the divorce, not a penny more. How did I end up taking your lives...?"
Xie Fengxia cried so hard she could barely breathe as she showed everyone all the notes the Chen family had written for her.
The Chen family all worked in a textile factory, and everyone in the neighborhood knew what kind of people they were.
Now, upon hearing Xie Fengxia's accusations, the neighbors immediately start pointing fingers at them.
Chen's mother was shameless and wanted to cause more trouble.
Chen Qiang's face was already flushed with embarrassment, and Chen's father and Chen Yin, who had just returned from get off work, turned green with shame upon hearing those words.
Especially Chen Yin, she hasn't even talked about her future husband's family yet.
She was thinking that now that she had a formal job at the textile factory, she could find a rich husband.
But now it's like this...
Mr. Chen quickly pushed through the crowd and shouted angrily, "Wang Jiazhen, what are you doing now?"
Seeing that public opinion had already sided with Xie Fengxia, Guo Tao stepped forward and said, "Chen Qiang, you said it yourself at the cement factory that my sister's calculations were correct, right? How come now that we're at your house, you're denying everything when it's time to pay?"
"It's okay if you really can't come up with 1,600 yuan. I have some influence in Yun County."
Since you can't come up with the money, I'll go treat Director Wu of the textile factory to a meal now, and while I'm at it, tell him that your family no longer needs work at the textile factory.
After Guo Tao finished speaking, he said to Xie Fengxia, "Little sister, it's okay. Since they took your job and won't pay you, I'll help you sell their jobs and then give you the money."
Guo Tao's words were like a thunderbolt to the four members of the Chen family.
Chen's father is also Guo Tao's father, and he knows Guo Tao's abilities.
At this moment, she quickly grabbed Guo Tao in a flattering manner, "Brother Tao, Brother Tao, is there some misunderstanding between us?"
"A misunderstanding?" Guo Tao raised an eyebrow slightly. "Whether there's a misunderstanding or not, let your good son tell you!"
Chen's father looked at Chen Qiang.
Chen Qiang quickly pulled his mother up from the ground, "That 1,600 yuan should have been Fengxia's, go and get it!"
While Chen's mother was still in shock, Chen Qiang had already pushed her into the house to get the money.
Chen Yin was stunned by the scene and watched from the side.
Chen Qiang pointed at her nose and roared, "You get in there and give me your money! If you hadn't had such wicked thoughts and taken Fengxia's job, Fengxia wouldn't have divorced me!"
Chen Yin burst into tears the moment Chen Qiang yelled at her.
She was still unconvinced and wanted to argue with Chen Qiang, but was stopped by Chen's father's fierce gaze. "Go get money for your sister-in-law. What are you standing there for?"
When Xie Fengxia left the Chen family with 1,600 yuan, she felt a sense of relief, as if she had been reborn.
"Brother Guo, thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you..."
Before Xie Fengxia could finish thanking him, Guo Tao waved his hand and said, "Little sister, don't thank me. If you want to thank someone, go back and thank your sister-in-law. She took pity on your talent and tried her best to help you get out of this mess."
Not only Xie Fengxia, but the entire Xie family felt deeply grateful to Yang Qiaoqiao.
Yang Qiaoqiao was talking to Huo Beixiao about Xie Fengxia at that moment.
She had initially worried that Xie Fengxia, though talented, was too weak-willed.
They were worried that if they promoted her to production supervisor, she wouldn't be able to keep people in line.
But judging from Xie Fengxia's behavior in front of Chen's mother and Chen Qiang today, she is not weak at all. As long as she has enough confidence, she can face any difficulty.
As soon as Yang Qiaoqiao finished speaking, a knock sounded on the door.
"Sister Qiaoqiao, the Chen family gave me all the money. I don't know how to thank you, so I'd like to invite you and Brother Beixiao to dinner. Do you have time?"
Xie Fengxia stood at the door, her thin cheeks flushed with joy.
“Okay!” Yang Qiaoqiao readily agreed. “Bei Xiao and I will pack up and go.”
Xie Fengxia picked up the dishes from a state-run restaurant, and the table was filled with food.
When Yang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao arrived, they saw Guo Tao was also there.
Yang Qiaoqiao also expressed her gratitude to Guo Tao.
Although Guo Tao helped Xie Fengxia, it was Xie Fengxia who asked for the favor.
She should remember this favor Guo Tao did for her.
During the meal, Yang Qiaoqiao talked to Xie Fengxia about her work at the garment factory.
After confirming that Yang Qiaoqiao was serious about promoting her to production director, Xie Fengxia immediately declared, "Sister Qiaoqiao, don't worry, I'll definitely do a good job. Tomorrow I'll go look at houses near the factory and rent one there. I promise I'll do my job well!"
Yang Qiaoqiao has no doubt about the enthusiasm and dedication people have for their work in this era.
Yan Suhua was a little worried, "Fengxia, it's not safe for a girl like you to rent a place to live alone..."
“Mom, Qiaoqiao’s garment factory is close to our school. My sister will rent a place there, so I won’t stay at school anymore. I’ll go live with my sister,” Xie Jiulin said.
As a mother, Yan Suhua always feels that her children are still growing up no matter how old they are, and she still has some worries.
Aunt Xie agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "I think it's a good idea. Anyway, there's not enough room at home. You two siblings can stay outside and take care of each other. We adults will feel at ease."
"Suhua, if you're really worried, you can go visit them often. They're not far away anyway."
“That’s right, Auntie. If you really miss Fengxia, you can come to my factory to find her,” Yang Qiaoqiao comforted Yan Suhua.
The atmosphere at the dinner table immediately became lively.
The next day was the seventh day of the lunar new year, and all the shops on the street were open, as were the markets.
Yang Qiaoqiao went to Yiren Clothing first. As soon as she, Luo Yingzi, and Yang Hongying opened the store, customers came in.
Business wasn't great in the morning, but we still managed to sell about two hundred yuan worth of spring clothes.
Yang Qiaoqiao thinks that the reason why her clothing designs are so trendy is that people in a small county like Yun County can't accept such trendy styles yet, so sales are just average.
But it's also a good thing, because Yu Qian is urging us to rush the production. If things sell well here too, the factory's output simply won't be able to keep up.
