Chapter 923: Making a Fuss (Page 1/2)
After Song Jingjing carefully carried the child back to the room, she took a deep breath, turned around and faced Xu Xiaomin, and said with a firm look in her eyes, "Sister Xu, you can go back now. I will settle your salary."
Xu Xiaomin's face showed an expression of disbelief when she heard this. She widened her eyes and looked at Song Jingjing with resentment, and said in a slightly trembling voice:
"You want me to go back? Where can I go back to? I haven't done anything excessive to your child. How can you fire me like this?
If Mr. Huo knew that you fired me, he would definitely say that you…"
There was a hint of grievance and dissatisfaction in Xu Xiaomin's tone, and she seemed to be very surprised and dissatisfied with Song Jingjing's decision.
Song Jingjing remained unmoved. Her expression remained serious as she responded coldly, "Sister Xu, don't use Grandpa to threaten me. You tied my daughter to a tree. I absolutely cannot tolerate this behavior, and I will never forgive you.
So, please take the money and leave here as soon as possible. I will take good care of these two children myself."
Seeing Song Jingjing so determined, Xu Xiaomin became more and more anxious.
She began to realize the seriousness of the matter. If she was really fired by Song Jingjing, she would probably find it difficult to find a new job for a while.
Thinking of this, Xu Xiaomin couldn't help but feel regretful. She secretly blamed herself, saying that if she had known it would develop to this point, she should not have let her daughter resign.
If her daughter still worked for the Huo family, she wouldn't be in such a dilemma as she is now.
"Xiao Song, I'm really sorry, I know I was wrong this time.
In the future, if I want to cook and these two children are not asleep yet, I will definitely find a way to bring them with me.
How about this, I carry one child on my back and hold the other in front, so I can cook and take care of them at the same time."
Xu Xiaomin said this sincerely, with a hint of pleading in her eyes.
Today is the big day when Song Jingjing's clothing store opens. Naturally, she is extremely busy and has no time to take care of the two children.
Originally, she thought that having Xu Xiaomin at home should be a reassuring thing, but after what happened just now, Song Jingjing was completely disappointed with Xu Xiaomin.
Song Jingjing snorted coldly. She would not continue to leave the child to Xu Xiaomin to take care of!
She didn't want to take any more risks. What if her daughter was tied to the tree again like she was this morning? What should she do then?
So, she decided to take the two children to the clothing store directly after dinner.
Anyway, her mother will go to the store to help out in the afternoon, so she can ask her mother to help look after the child. After work, she can take the child home.
"Sister Xu, it's really not necessary. I plan to take the two children to the store. My mother will go to the store to help in the afternoon, and I can ask her to help take care of them together."
Seeing that Song Jingjing was unmoved and wouldn't listen no matter what she said, Xu Xiaomin wanted to yell at her, but she held back when she thought about her daughter still working in her shop.
"Xiao Song, just let me finish this month. If I don't do well, I don't need to take my salary..."
"Sister Xu, please stop talking. You've crossed my line. I can't leave my child in your care anymore. What if my daughter loses her life because of you? What do you want me to do?"
"What do you mean by lost their lives? I didn't hit your daughters, nor did I do anything to them, so how could they lose their lives?
If you are dissatisfied with me, you can call the police and check your daughter to see if there are any signs of abuse."
Song Jingjing thought that since she was not at home, she could not see whether Xu Xiaomin beat her daughter or not.

Her daughter loves to cry. What if she angers Xu Xiaomin and she deliberately beats them when she is not at home?
"Okay, Sister Xu, stop talking. I've made a decision and I won't change it."
Xu Xiaomin tried to coax Song Jingjing with kind words, but Song Jingjing remained unmoved and still looked cold.
Xu Xiaomin's patience gradually wore out, and the anger in her heart grew stronger and stronger.
"Xiao Song, how could you be so heartless? You brought me and my daughter from the Huo family, saying you would treat us well, but what happened?
I've only been here for a few days and you're already firing me. Are you kidding me?"
Xu Xiaomin's voice unconsciously rose an octave, with a hint of anger and dissatisfaction.
Song Jingjing looked at Xu Xiaomin expressionlessly and said calmly, "I'm not kidding you! I never thought of firing you, but what you did was too much, wasn't it?
You actually tied my daughter to a tree like a puppy. Have you ever treated my child like a human being?
Think about it yourself, if you were me, what would you do if you encountered this kind of thing? "
After hearing what Song Jingjing said, Xu Xiaomin couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
She knew that what she did that day was indeed inappropriate, but she did it because she was angry.
However, now that things have come to this, no amount of explanation will help.
Xu Xiaomin felt a little tired, and she really didn't want to continue to be entangled with Song Jingjing.
Anyway, no matter what she said, Song Jingjing would never forgive her, so why waste her breath?
"Okay, then you can pay me the salary and I will go back now."
After Song Jingjing calculated Xu Xiaomin's daily salary, she gave her a few more dollars.
"Sister Xu, can you check if the money is calculated correctly?"
Xu Xiaomin said, "It's whatever you say. I have no objection. Mountains and rivers bring us together. I hope we will have the chance to meet again next time."
Song Jingjing chuckled, "Sister Xu, my sister-in-law's children are all grown up, and her work is easy. I think you should go back to my sister-in-law! Maybe she will invite you over."
Xu Xiaomin secretly thought that Lin Man and Mr. Huo probably wouldn't let her help with anything anymore. But then she thought, maybe if she went back and begged for mercy, they might change their minds.
As soon as Xu Xiaomin left, Song Jingjing quickly finished her meal. She quickly strapped one child to her back and placed the other in a bamboo cart. Then, pushing the cart, she locked the gate and returned to the shop with the twins.
Zhang Fen was shocked when she saw Song Jingjing walking into the store with the twins. She quickly asked, "Auntie Song, why did you bring two children into the store?"
Song Jingjing looked at Zhang Fen deeply and said solemnly, "Zhang Fen, I have already fired your mother."
Zhang Fen was stunned by what she heard. She frowned and asked suspiciously, "Why? Aunt Song, why did you fire my mom?"
Song Jingjing's voice was cold and emotionless. "Your mother actually tied my two daughters to a tree with hemp rope!"
Zhang Fen didn't show much surprise after hearing this, which made Song Jingjing puzzled. She couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't you surprised at all?"
Zhang Fen replied disapprovingly, "This kind of thing is very common in rural areas.
If parents are too busy and worried about their children running around, they'll tie them up with a rope and keep an eye on them. What's so surprising about that?
