"Mom, I don't want anything right now." Zhou Xiaoyu always felt that if she said she needed something, the answer she would get would definitely not be the kind she wanted.
“Very good, Zhou Xiaoyu, you have made a great choice. I find that reasoning with you is really tiring; I have to prove my love for you with actions.”
Mo Yan found that reasoning with people was really tiring and not suitable for her, so she decided to just do what she needed to do and continue to let herself go.
Mo Yan was a woman of action; the very next day, she went to find someone to introduce her mother to a potential partner: a retired teacher, an old man who liked playing mahjong (the old lady also liked playing mahjong), and an old man who liked square dancing.
They're all good-looking, and quite attractive too.
Mo Yan took the photo and went to find the old lady.
"Mom, look, the partner I found to introduce you to, here are their resumes."
old lady:"……"
"Look, this person enjoys playing mahjong, so you two have a common hobby. This person is a retired teacher, so you two can get along well. This person likes square dancing. Which one do you like?"
The old lady was a little tired. "I don't like any of them. I've said I won't go on blind dates."
"You don't like any of them?" Mo Yan was a little surprised. "It's okay, I'll find you something else, I'll find one you like!"
old lady:"……"
"I'm not going on blind dates anymore, and I won't let you go on any more. Please leave me alone, okay?"
The old lady was really having a headache; this daughter of hers was just... just...
"Mom, what are you saying? What do you mean by letting go? I'm doing this for your future happiness. My brother and I are so busy, and no one is with you. You must be so lonely and isolated."
Don't worry, we're not after that old man's money, we just want you to have someone to talk to.
Don't worry, your daughter will definitely take care of this for you.
The old lady: "..." I'm so tired.
...
After talking to the old lady, Mo Yan went back to open her shop. She was ready to have a good talk with that Aunt Li.
"Aunt Li, you've been working here for quite a while now, haven't you?"
"Right? It's been several years already. Are you going to give me a raise?"
Mo Yan's attitude has always been very good; she's never been condescending. So, Aunt Li has become a bit arrogant.
"Aunt Li, haven't I been good to you?"
"You've been so good to me." Aunt Li suddenly realized that something seemed off.
"Then why did you say things to Xiaoyu like she's a burden to me?" Mo Yan looked at her coldly. "Did you tell her that I'm getting married, so I'll have a stepfather, and with a stepfather comes a stepmother?"
The reason Mo Yan hadn't contacted her was because she was investigating. Many of the young women were repeat customers, and she had overheard some things while in the store.
When Mo Yan came over to ask, the girls just told her directly.
Xiao Li felt a little guilty, after all, she was talking badly about others here, but then she thought about it again, she didn't say anything, she was just telling the truth, Mo Yan should thank her, right?
"Well, Mo Yan, I'm doing this for your own good. I've been through this age too. Living alone is so tiring, having to bear so much pressure. I'm just trying to help you, aren't I?"
I said that so that Xiaoyu could understand how difficult things were for you. If she agrees, wouldn't you be able to find your happiness sooner?
In the end, she even felt that she had only said those things for Mo Yan's own good, and that she was really too kind.
"Do you think your family is part of the Pacific Ocean? Why are you meddling in my affairs? What do I need that you, an outsider, have to worry about? I think you're just trying to sow discord. You're not doing well yourself, and your daughter doesn't like you, so you're jealous that I have a good relationship with my daughter, right?"
Mo Yan really didn't give her any face, directly throwing out a month's salary at her. "You can leave now."
"What did you say?" Aunt Li was shocked that Mo Yan would do such a thing, firing her directly. "I've been working for you for so many years, how can you fire me?"
"Why can't I? You take things home from the store every day, do you think I don't know? I've just turned a blind eye. If you want to go to jail, I can grant your wish. Although it's not much each day, if you add it all up, how much do you think it will be?"
Mo Yan's gaze grew even colder. "Furthermore, you think your casual words have hurt the young girl? You must apologize to Xiao Yu."
"Why should I? I'm just telling the truth. She's your burden, so why can't I say it? She's just being sensitive, is it my fault?"
Aunt Li was furious, but she knew very well that she would bring the leftover ingredients home every day. Although it wasn't much, it added up to a lot.
"Really? So it's normal for you to have a male confidant? What do you think your daughter and husband will do when they find out?"
Could I also kindly remind your husband and daughter?
After all, I only reminded them because I was afraid you'd get lost.
Aunt Li's expression changed completely, and she grabbed Mo Yan's hand, "You can't do this, I have nothing to do with that man."
She was just too lonely and wanted to find comfort; she absolutely had no intention of betraying her family.
"Why not? You can hurt my daughter, so why can't I warn your family? Aunt Li, you taught me all this."
"Here's your monthly salary. Get out of here. But before you leave, remember to give me back the money you took for groceries. I've calculated it, and it's been 8,000 yuan over the past year. You still owe me 5,000 yuan. If you don't, I'll call the police."
Mo Yan directly reached out her hand to Aunt Li, demanding money. It was impossible for her not to pay back the money; Mo Yan would eat anything, but she would never suffer a loss.
"How...how could you be so cruel? I've helped you so much, I...I came when you needed employees the most."
Aunt Li felt that Mo Yan was heartless. She knew how difficult it was for Mo Yan to raise her child alone, and that she was the one who helped her to get where she was today. But now Mo Yan wanted her to pay compensation.
Without hesitation, Mo Yan slapped the police 911 after seeing the hatred in Aunt Li's eyes, and then looked at her.
“I think you’ve got one thing wrong. I don’t need your help. I’m looking for employees, not some self-righteous savior. Whoever I’m looking for has to do those things, because that’s an employee’s duty, understand?”
Mo Yan found it somewhat ridiculous. How could Aunt Li think that she had helped her?
She hired an employee, okay? And just a waiter, anyone could do that job.
She was just too lazy to replace her, but I never expected her to actually feel so self-satisfied. It's just... bizarre.
