Chen Xiaoying thought about it and couldn't help but call General Manager Chen and tell him about this Xu Xiaodong.
"This man is my ex-son-in-law. He has a problematic personality. He works as a security guard at a food factory. I'm worried that he might steal from the factory. Ask the security captain to keep a close eye on him."
Chen is a common surname. When I met General Manager Chen at that time, he joked humorously that since they all had the surname Chen, they might have been a family five years ago.
General Manager Chen is in his early forties. He was excluded and frustrated in a well-known economic and trade company, so he was introduced to Secretary He by Shen Jiaze. Here, he finally found a big stage to display his talents. He is very approachable and friendly. He never looks down on Chen Xiaoying and Li Yutong just because they are from the countryside.
After hearing what Chen Xiaoying said, the man from the security team said he knew about it and thanked Chen Xiaoying for her concern for the food factory.
A phone call was made immediately.
So, Xu Xiaodong, who had been in office for just over a month, suddenly became unemployed.
General Manager Chen is a shrewd person, ex-son-in-law? He asked someone to find out the relationship between the introducer and Xu Xiaodong, and immediately an employee who wanted to please him told him all the stories about Xu Xiaodong and Yu Xiaona.
"Oh, so that's how it is." General Manager Chen hates scumbags the most.
If Xu Xiaodong had worked honestly, General Manager Chen would have to find an excuse to fire him. Unexpectedly, he didn't need to find one. The security captain caught Xu Xiaodong accepting small favors, allowing social people into the factory to have romances with factory employees, and even sneaking into the factory cafeteria to eat.
The food factory’s cafeteria is free only for employees.
Not only that, he also allowed his employees to sneak out of the factory to go on dates in the middle of the night.
For safety reasons, employees living in the food factory are not allowed to return to the dormitory before 8 o'clock in the evening. Otherwise, if something happens, who will be responsible?
"Considering that he has not worked for long and has not caused any losses, we will not ask him to pay any money and just fire him," said General Manager Chen.
So, on this day, when Ma Xiufen and Yu Xiaona had another argument about a chicken sent by Yu Xiaona's mother, whether to stew the whole chicken for Yu Xiaona to drink as soup, or to stir-fry a big pot and put potatoes and cabbage in it so that the whole family could eat for several meals, Xu Xiaodong came back with a grim look on his face.
It's just time for lunch, why is he back?
"Xiaodong, what's wrong? Didn't you go to work?" Ma Xiufen said in surprise.
Although he was a security guard at a food factory, the mother and son complained about the job at first. But later they realized it was a popular job that no one could get no matter how many people were vying for it.
I’m still so happy, how come my son is back?
"Don't mention it, I quit." Xu Xiaodong said unhappily and sat down on the chair angrily.
Being fired is not a pleasant thing to hear, but he deliberately said that he resigned because he was too disdainful of the job.
Yu Xiaona didn't understand what he meant at all. She was already five months pregnant and her belly was already showing. When she heard that Xu Xiaodong had actually resigned, she was immediately furious: "Resigned? You actually resigned. Do you know how much money my dad spent and how many connections he used to find you this job? You've only been working for a few days, and you're resigning?"
If the Xu family had money, she wouldn't mind if he didn't go to work.
The key point is that the Xu family has no money. If Xu Xiaodong doesn’t go to work, the whole family will starve.
"Do you think I don't want to do it? What can I do if others don't let me do it?" Xu Xiaodong raised his head and yelled at Yu Xiaona.
How dare Xu Xiaodong be mean to her?
Yu Xiaona gnashed her teeth and stared at him: "Xu Xiaodong, how dare you treat me like this? I'm pregnant with your son, and so far, I've paid for every scallion in the family. I support this family, so please be polite to me."
Xu Xiaodong sneered. In the past two months, he had seen through everything. Yu Xiaona's parents were just ordinary people working in an office and had no connections at all.
Otherwise, how come he can't find a good job for his son-in-law?
Since he can't count on them, why should he pretend to be a grandson in front of Yu Xiaona?
"Polite? I'm your man, not your slave. You married into our family and are the daughter-in-law of our Xu family. You should be polite to me. I'm the head of this family." Xu Xiaodong stood up angrily and glared at Yu Xiaona.
This was the first time that Yu Xiaona was treated so impolitely and even threatened by Xu Xiaodong.
She looked at the stranger in front of her in disbelief. He was completely different from the considerate and caring man he had been when they were dating.
Ma Xiufen was anxious: "What's the point of talking about this now? Xiaona, go home and ask your parents what's going on. Why don't they let Xiaodong do it?"
Yu Xiaona had no choice but to be urged to go home by her mother-in-law, and she also wanted to ask why.
You can't live without money. If she spends all the money she has, it will be a problem for her to have food in the future.
After Xu Xiaodong was fired, Yu Xiaona's father found out soon.
Since the other party accepted his benefits, he had to inform him of the news. When her father heard this, not only could he not be angry, but he had to apologize to the other party.
"I'm so sorry, this kid is so disappointing. I'll teach him a lesson later."
Yu Xiaona's mother couldn't help but ask quickly: "What's going on?"
Before Yu Xiaona's father could say anything, there was a knock on the door. Her mother opened the door and her pregnant daughter Yu Xiaona stood at the door. Her eyes were red. "Mom, Xu Xiaodong is so mean to me. I'm really mad at him."
Yu Xiaona's parents raised their beloved daughter so carefully chosen their words when talking to her, even when criticizing her, so as not to hurt her self-esteem.
Therefore, from childhood to adulthood, Yu Xiaona has never been bullied, let alone treated harshly by anyone.
Whenever she felt wronged, she would seek comfort from her mother.
Her mother really felt sorry for her: "What are you doing? You're still pregnant. I keep saying I love you and the baby in your belly. Is that how I love you?"
"Close the door quickly and come in to talk. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?" Yu Xiaona's father said hurriedly.
Yu Xiaona's mother then pulled her in. Yu Xiaona first wiped her tears and talked a lot about her mother-in-law Ma Xiufen's disgusting living habits.
"She actually used the towel I used to wash my face to wipe her feet. When I told her about it, she said she didn't see clearly. I think she did it on purpose. Her towel was ripped and had holes in it, and it was white. In order to let her distinguish it, I deliberately chose a green towel. How could she make a mistake?"
"When she eats, she always stir-fries a dish and keeps adding water. After two or three days, it goes bad, but she still says there is no water and forces me to eat it."
"She would hide the snacks you brought me. If you asked her for them, she would only give me one a day."
"You sent me a chicken, and I told her to stew it and drink the soup, but she said it was a waste and insisted on stir-frying it with potatoes, peppers, cabbage, and tomatoes. We have to eat it for three days, and it's too salty, so I can't eat it at all... Asking her to cook is just a waste of food."
She cried and complained about the unpleasantness of getting along with her mother-in-law after marriage.
