Chapter 106
Cheng Yu's parents had a fierce quarrel.
Cheng Yu described it this way: "I have never seen my mother so angry."
Cheng Yu's mother was a member of the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination. Her parents were university professors. During the most turbulent years, they relied on their strong and irreplaceable professional abilities to stay in the city. The two elders only had one daughter, Cheng Yu's mother.
Cheng Yu's mother lived up to the old man's expectations and studied all the way to a doctorate, and later entered a research institute. In the past few years, she has become the backbone of the institute, giving lectures and making exchanges everywhere.
Cheng Yu used to think that her mother was so gentle that she had almost no emotions, as if all her emotions were released at work. So when she returned home, she was always gentle and indifferent.
But that night, when Cheng Yu took out the tape, she heard her gentle mother scolding her father for the first time.
"Cheng Song! This is the good relative you found!"
"Is this human language? How old is Cheng Yu, and she talks about Cheng Yu like this!"
"Get her out! Get out now! I don't want to see her again in my life!"
…
Cheng Yu's father's eyes were red, and he couldn't tell at all that this was Chief Engineer Cheng, a well-known figure in the industry.
Cheng Song was scolded by his wife the whole night without saying a word in retort.
Cheng Yu took out three tapes, each of which could record for sixty minutes.
Cheng Yu was obviously afraid that her parents would not trust her, so she recorded all three tapes in one go. Sometimes, for safety reasons, she left the recorder there for a long time, and it happened to record her entering the house and Yang Huijuan muttering vicious curses in private.
Every word hurts the parents' hearts.
Yang Huijuan's behavior is completely different from her usual self.
When Cheng Song first heard the sarcastic female voice in the tape, he thought he was hallucinating.
"It's just a few pieces of clothes, can't you rub them yourself? You're already so old, don't you have hands?"
"Eat, eat, eat. Eat all day long. Just eat with that mouth. Isn't it enough?"
"You are not as good at studying as your brother, and you are lazy and don't know how to do anything. You will be beaten to death sooner or later after you get married."
"Oh, that sweater. I saw you didn't want to wear it, so I took it back. My daughter-in-law can wear it."
"Do you really think your parents will believe what you say? What great engineer, what great professor? I just said a few random words. Do you think they will believe you or me?"
…
"What a bastard! How can you be so lucky? We still live in a bungalow, but this damn girl lives so well."
"He's a great engineer, a great professor, but he can't even cook."
"Eat, eat, eat! I told you to eat, go eat your ass!"
…
When Cheng Song heard this, he felt anger mixed with sadness.
The reason why Yang Huijuan was so complacent and looked down on them was because she was reckless and fearless, wasn't it?
This relies only on their incompetence as parents.
Facing his reserved and nervous daughter, Cheng Song wanted to slap himself twice.
He stretched out his hand and wanted to say something, but Cheng Yu took a step back, which undoubtedly made Cheng Song feel even more guilty.
He put down his arms helplessly: "Yuyu... Dad doesn't know..."
Cheng Song's explanation was so plain and simple that he felt like a villain who despised him.
He knows everything about work.
Everyone in the group knows Cheng Song's high IQ. He can easily remember the drawings he saw years ago. No matter how complicated the process problem is, he will quickly know which direction to research. Even the various relationships in the industry, he can handle them tactfully.
How could he not know? He obviously knew it too well.
Know the importance of work, know how to weigh the pros and cons, know office politics, know the dynamic development of the industry...
It’s just that too little was allocated to the family, so the growth of my daughter was neglected.
Cheng Yu's skeptical look made Cheng Song even more at a loss.
So what if we fire Yang Huijuan and let her pay the price?
The past will never come back, and the gap between family members still exists.
Cheng Yu's mother Tao Hanjin shed tears and took the initiative to reach out and hug her daughter.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Tao Hanjin's hug made Cheng Yu feel very strange. Tao Hanjin was too busy. She wanted to stand at a high position in the research institute full of experts. She had almost thrown everything into her career in recent years.
Cheng Yu briefly adapted to her mother's embrace.
After a while, she gently patted the crying Tao Hanjin with her hand.
Tao Han cried even harder today.
"I'm sorry Yuyu, I'm sorry!"
…
Cheng Yu originally just wanted to let her parents know Yang Huijuan's true face, but she didn't expect her parents' reaction to be so intense.
Yang Huijuan was told not to come the next day.
She felt extremely aggrieved and came to ask Cheng Song why he fired her.
"I have taken care of Yuyu for two or three years. You have seen everything I have done. I treat her as my own daughter. Is there anything I have done wrong that you want to fire me?"
Yang Huijuan thought she had kept it a secret, but Cheng Song wanted to punch her.
"When you say you take good care of my daughter, do you mean she doesn't wash my clothes, doesn't cook meals, scolds my daughter at every turn, and steals things from my house and uses them for herself?"
Yang Huijuan was frightened out of her wits!
She could never have imagined that Cheng Song actually knew about it!
"Who said this? Was it Yuyu who said this? Don't listen to her nonsense! She just hates me for always controlling her and is slandering me on purpose!"
Cheng Song was too lazy to look at this lying woman anymore.
He originally thought that since she was a relative of his, and her family conditions were not good, he would give her a job and pay her one thousand a month, and she would definitely treat her daughter well.
Who knew he would pay a higher price than the market price and get such a poor product in return?
She did not hit Cheng Yu, but Cheng Song saw his daughter's sensitivity and flattery, which made Cheng Song hate Yang Huijuan even more for making Cheng Yu lose trust in her parents.
"You go now."
Having said that, he was not here to listen to her nonsense, which was meaningless.
Seeing this, Yang Huijuan knew that Cheng Song must have known what she had done. She gritted her teeth and cursed Cheng Yu in her heart, saying that this damn girl must have done it!
Now that things have come to this, Yang Huijuan is still reluctant to give up her monthly salary of one thousand yuan.
She said hesitantly: "...Then this month's salary..."
Cheng Song couldn't bear it any longer: "Don't you know what you did?"
How do you still have the nerve to ask for salary?
Yang Huijuan left in shame.
Cheng Song looked at her back and his anger grew even stronger.
In the past few years, Yang Huijuan did not dare to steal Tao Hanjin's things, but she stole a lot of small things from Cheng Yu.
These things are not expensive, and it is difficult to obtain evidence, so there is no way to sue even if you want to.
Cheng Song couldn't even breathe.
So, after a few calls were made, the job that Yang Huijuan's son had found through his connections was gone.
Yang Huijuan finally realized her regret.
She rushed to Cheng Song and Tao Hanjin's unit and begged them to let her son go.
"I did something wrong, but you guys can just come at me for whatever you want!"
"I'm sorry Cheng Yu, can I go and apologize to her?"
“You can’t take your work back!”
…
Yang Huijuan regretted it deeply and felt even more wronged.
She just neglected her duty and did not hit Cheng Yu.
What's wrong with a girl of this age doing some work?
Respect the elderly and love the young. At her age, she is asking a little girl to do some housework by herself. How could it come to this?
Yang Huijuan complained and accused her son that he was busy with work before and did not care much about how his mother took care of Cheng Yu. Now he was dumbfounded when he heard Yang Huijuan say this.
"You are ill, aren't you?"
Yang Huijuan's son looked at her like she was a fool: "Why should I do housework? If I can do everything, why would I ask you to do it?"
"People give you money, not for you to act like a big shot!"
"You are an elder, to put it nicely, but they spent money, spent money!"
Yang Huijuan's son covered his head and said, "Cheng Song's daughter doesn't need to do housework for the rest of her life! Who do you think you are to ask others to respect you?"
…
Yang Huijuan was dumbfounded. She kept saying “but” for a long time, but in the end, she couldn’t say anything.
I can only continue to ask Cheng Song and Tao Hanjin for help.
But no matter how much Yang Huijuan regretted, Cheng Song remained unmoved.
Originally, she was a relative of the family, and they found a job for her son because of how well she took care of Cheng Yu.
Cheng Song didn't think he was a broad-minded person and didn't have the kindness to tolerate someone who hurt his daughter.
After driving Yang Huijuan away, Cheng Song and his wife decided to compensate their daughter.
Both of them submitted leave applications to their units at the same time, one for ten days of annual leave and the other for half a month of annual leave.
Although Cheng Yu still felt uncomfortable, but...
When my parents are at home, it seems like the house isn't that cold anymore.
Tao Han didn't know how to cook, but she bought all kinds of flowers on her rare day off, put a few beautiful vases in various places in the house. Cheng Song took care of three meals a day, and every morning and evening, the couple drove their daughter to school. After school, he took Cheng Yu out to buy clothes, stationery, and everything Cheng Yu needed.
Cheng Yu secretly complained to Jian Li: "It's so annoying. I can't even eat grilled sausage in the morning!"
Cheng Song sent him to the school gate and insisted on watching Cheng Yu go in.
So I can no longer eat the grilled sausages that I used to eat every morning, and the fried chicken legs, spicy hot and sour noodles in Wang Mengmei’s store…
Jian Li: "...curl the corners of your mouth!"
Although she was complaining, Cheng Yu was like a child who hadn't received a gift for a long time, holding her precious gift and showing it off everywhere.
Cheng Yu touched the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Come to my house tonight, my parents want to treat you to dinner!"
Tao Hanjin was very perceptive and realized that his daughter must have been instructed by someone. Yang Huijuan had been treating Cheng Yu like this for a long time. Why didn't his daughter say anything before but dared to say it now?
She carefully considered her words to test him, but Cheng Yu collapsed in just a few words.
Tao Hanjin was very moved and touched his daughter's head: "Yuyu likes this classmate, so please come home. Mom and Dad also want to thank her."
Tao Hanjin informed her husband about this, and Cheng Song even waved his hand, wanting to give Jian Li something.
Tao Hanjin: "What are you going to give?"
Cheng Song flipped through the things he brought back from abroad and took out a wallet with a monogram logo printed on it.
Tao Hanjin: "...You should take a break."
Not to mention that it's such an old-fashioned gift for a high school student, each of these things costs two to three thousand yuan. How are the two children going to get along in the future?
Cheng Song: "Then what do you say we should do?"
Tao Hanjin picked out a few boxes of imported chocolates and a silk scarf without a big logo.
"Give the chocolate to the child. Let's go to her store when we have time. I heard from Yuyu that this classmate's family runs a small restaurant. This scarf is for her mother."
Cheng Song hesitated a little: "Is it too light?"
The couple looked at each other in bewilderment. They had been busy with work in recent years, and their eldest son was independent enough, so they had never dealt with such a relationship.
They are neither superiors and subordinates nor partners, but just a simple relationship between classmates and parents.
"Let's do this for now. We'll visit each other often. I think this family is great and they've taken good care of Yuyu. If her family runs into any trouble in the future, we can help them."
Cheng Song thought about it and thought it was a good idea.
"I'm just afraid they won't speak up."
We don't have a particularly close relationship, so even if they run into trouble, they won't come to me.
Tao Hanjin: "Take your time. After Yuyu's classmates come to our house for dinner, we can go meet them there tomorrow."
Tao Han had planned well today, but Cheng Yu did not bring Jian Li back in the evening.
"Yuyu, where are your classmates?"
Cheng Yu: "Xiao Li had something to do at home today, so her mother came to pick her up during the third class in the afternoon."
