Xia Jin said: "I can't guess, could there be something wrong with my store?"
Chen Xin laughed and said, "No, this is a good thing for you, a great thing. If you knew about it, you would definitely be happy for a month."
Xia Jin said doubtfully: "If it's a good thing for me, it might be a bad thing for some people. Let me guess."
"It can't be something about my stepfather's family, could it be that Xia Qingqing was beaten by Wang Yuanyuan, or is Luo Zisen engaged to Wang Yuanyuan? Don't keep me in suspense. Just tell me now."
Xia Jin shook Chen Xin's sleeve as she spoke. Seeing Xia Jin's anxious look, Chen Xin stopped teasing her and said, "You're half right. This is about your stepfather's family, but it has nothing to do with Xia Qingqing."
"Xia Qingqing's father was laid off. Are you happy to hear this news?"
Just as Xia Jin was about to speak, she heard someone knocking on the door. Grandma Chen called out from outside, "Xinxin, I've cut up the fruit and brought it in for you."
Chen Xin said, "Grandma, just come in."
Grandma Chen pushed the door open and came in. She put the fruit on the desk and said to Xia Jin, "Xiao Jin, don't be restrained. Treat this place as your own home. You can stay here for lunch. Grandma will make you something delicious."
Xia Jin quickly said, "Don't bother, Grandma. I'll be back soon."
Chen Xin pulled Xia Jin and said, "Why go back? Let's eat here. My parents have been wanting to meet you for a long time. My grandma cooks delicious food too."
"Stay, you guys chat first. I'm going out to buy groceries." Grandma Chen said and went out, leaving no room for Xia Jin to refute. Xia Jin thought that was it.
Xia Jin and Chen Xin finished their previous topic, and Xia Jin asked, "That's impossible. My stepfather is not very old, how could he be laid off? Tell me quickly."
Chen Xin smiled and said, "Have you forgotten whose daughter Xia Qingqing's love rival is?"
"It's the factory director's family, but doing this now won't benefit the director at all. He hasn't done anything wrong. If you suddenly lay him off like this, who wouldn't see that he's doing this for his daughter? How could the factory employees not see this obvious abuse of power for personal gain?"
Chen Xin said, "If there's nothing wrong, just let him make a mistake. It's such a simple thing. Just listen to me and I'll explain it slowly."
"The news the factory spread was that your stepfather stole factory property and sold it. The factory discovered it, so they fired him. Furthermore, since he had worked there for so many years, they didn't call the police and just kicked him out."
"They didn't even let him make up the difference. The factory notice said it should just be considered his retirement money."
Chen Xin continued, "But I think this is such a coincidence. Do you know what happened two days before your stepfather was fired?"
Xia Jin said: "I don't know, I wasn't here at that time."
Chen Xin said excitedly, "I saw it with my own eyes. I tell you it was amazing."
"I went to the movies with my parents and happened to be at the same place as Wang Yuanyuan and her friends. That's not a big deal, the main thing is that Wang Yuanyuan went to the movies with Luo Zisen's mother and her own mother."
"It was just such a coincidence. Not long after they entered, Luo Zisen walked in holding Xia Qingqing's hand. Wang Yuanyuan was furious when she saw this. She didn't care that there were so many people around and ran up to her and slapped Xia Qingqing."
"Luo Zisen saw his beloved being beaten, so he pushed Wang Yuanyuan and hit her. This stirred up a hornet's nest, attracting both mothers."
"After helping Wang Yuanyuan up from the ground, Luo Zisen's mother questioned him, saying: 'Didn't you say you didn't have time today and were going out to study with your friends?' Then what's going on now?"
"They even accused him of abandoning his mother for a vixen. Anyway, they cursed Xia Qingqing harshly."
"Xia Qingqing really acted aggrieved at this time, saying that she and Brother Zisen were truly in love, and it was clearly Wang Yuanyuan who interfered. She also said that you can dislike me, but you must not curse my family. Anyway, she said a lot of things."
"Looking at his beloved crying and being bullied by his mother and Wang Yuanyuan, Luo Zisen threatened his mother that he would marry no one but Xia Qingqing."
"When Wang Yuanyuan heard this, she couldn't stand it anymore. She stopped watching the movie and ran out crying. Wang Yuanyuan's mother saw her daughter running out and glared at Xia Qingqing and the others before following her out."
"Two days after this incident, I heard from my classmates that Xia Qingqing's father was fired for stealing. I wanted to tell you about this good news quickly to make you happy, but you weren't at home."
"Actually, I'm speculating that your stepfather might have been implicated by Xia Qingqing in this matter. From what I know, the factory takes some scraps from the warehouse back home. It's normal for most people to do this. The factory usually turns a blind eye to such things."
"Why was your stepfather caught and fired this time? I guess it was the Wang family trying to intimidate Xia Qingqing's family."
Xia Jin thought for a while and said, "Why don't you guess that it was the Luo family who did it?"
"No way."
Xia Jin said, "I think the Luo family is more likely to be involved. Do you think the Luo family is trying to get involved in this marriage with the Wang family? If the marriage between the two families is broken off because of this incident, the Luo family will definitely be the one affected."
"So this was most likely done by the Luo family, and it was very clever. Most people will react the same way you did when you heard about these two incidents. They must have done this to vent their anger for their daughter. This way, the Luo family can threaten Xia Qingqing's family while also being able to hide from the incident perfectly and shift the blame to Wang Yuanyuan's family."
Chen Xin clapped his hands and said, "Right, why didn't I think of that? If it really is the Luo family, they are too treacherous."
Xia Jin smiled and said, "This is just my guess. I don't know the details yet. Anyway, I'm very happy now. I'm happy if Xia Qingqing's family is in trouble. It would be best if they could be even more unlucky."
Chen Xin said, "It seems that it's not so easy for Xia Qingqing to marry into the Luo family. I really don't understand why she insists on marrying Luo Zisen when the Luo family is like this."
Xia Jin said calmly: "After all, he is a deputy factory director, he has power and money."
"Oh, by the way, if that's the case, why didn't you let me go to the store?"
