Chapter 117: If I had known this would happen, why would I do it in the first place?
Wang Yunying took a look at the mother and daughter's meal and frowned.
Didn’t Chen Mei say that both her mother and daughter work at the Jiali Garment Factory and that’s what they eat?
Also, this room was too simple, and the furniture in the room was all old. She glanced inside the room and saw that it was so narrow that it could only accommodate a bed, and there was no place to even stand.
She didn't understand. Why get a divorce when things were already like this?
If Chen Mei hadn't dragged her here, she would not have come to recognize her relatives, especially such poor relatives.
"Aunt, please sit down and eat. Don't worry about us." Chen Mei saw that Su Jiaojiao ignored her, and her face was a little embarrassed, but she still said good-temperedly, "Aunt, my mother has wanted to come see you for a long time, but she was delayed by one thing or another. You said you are all in the city, why don't you come over to our place and sit down?"
"You're both busy, so we can't disturb you." Chen Guilan brought a stool for the two of them to sit on. She didn't know how to entertain them. If they were on the street, she would hardly recognize them. Wang Yunying grumbled in her heart, but her face was very intimate. She took Chen Guilan's hand and said, "You're being too formal. We're a family. No matter how busy we are, we can't neglect our own family."
Chen Guilan just smiled awkwardly.
She was not as thick-skinned as her mother and had to give in.
"Jiaojiao, are you still angry with me?" Chen Mei looked at Su Jiaojiao with a smile on her face, and said to Chen Guilan with a smile, "Aunt, Jiaojiao misunderstood me today."
"How did it get misunderstood?" Chen Guilan didn't know about this. Before she could ask Su Jiaojiao, Wang Yunying laughed beside her, "Oh, we're cousins. What's the big deal about misunderstandings? We're family. Just talk it out."
Then she took Chen Guilan's hand and said, "Guilan, you've taken such good care of Jiaojiao. Chen Mei told me that she speaks Korean very well."
"Korean, what Korean?" Chen Guilan was stunned and turned to look at Su Jiaojiao. Su Jiaojiao said nothing and continued eating.
"Aunt, listen to me." Chen Mei moved a stool to sit next to Chen Guilan. "Today, Jiao Jiao came to our factory to discuss business. I thought she had signed up, so I said a few polite words and asked her to queue at the back. Actually, I thought that even if she was the last one in line, I could still squeeze her in. But I couldn't say it in front of so many people. Jiao Jiao misunderstood that I was heartless and got angry."
Su Jiaojiao sneered in her heart.
I don't believe you!
"Jiaojiao, your cousin is the foreman. Even if she wants to help you, she won't do it in front of so many people. Don't misunderstand your cousin." Wang Yunying, of course, sided with her daughter and continued, "Since you have business dealings with your cousin's factory, you should get along well. Next time you go, just go directly to your cousin. We're one family, so it's more convenient for us to get things done."
Chen Guilan didn't know what to say for a moment.
The main reason was that she hadn't been in contact with Wang Yunying and Chen Mei for a long time. Although they were relatives, they were almost like strangers.
"Mom, eat quickly, or the food will get cold." Su Jiaojiao had already finished eating. She didn't want to bother with the mother and daughter, but Wang Yunying's attitude made her very disgusted.
It turned out that they were the ones who complained first, showing off their eloquence in front of Chen Guilan. If they continued talking, she would become the one who was ungrateful.
Thinking of this, she turned around and looked at the mother and daughter, and said calmly: "Aunt, that's not what Team Leader Chen said today. She told me not to be clever and not to pretend to be a salesperson. She also said that she has seen a lot of people like me. Team Leader Chen really stole the show today."
"Jiao Jiao, I've already said this, it's just polite talk." Chen Mei's face paled and flushed, and she coughed lightly. "If everyone cut in line in that situation today, it would definitely be chaos. I have to say that."
"Since it's just polite talk, and since you did the right thing, then what's the purpose of your coming here today?" Su Jiaojiao asked. Chen Mei was stunned for a moment, and then said after a while, "I, I was worried that you would misunderstand, so..."
"I'm a nobody, so it's just a misunderstanding. Why does Squad Leader Chen need to come to my house to explain?" Su Jiaojiao's eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm. "If that's the case, you can leave now."
Using the name of relatives to talk about other things.
Extremely hypocritical.
"Jiaojiao, your cousin thinks we're relatives, and her words might make you uncomfortable, so she came to explain." Wang Yunying tried to smooth things over, laughing awkwardly. "She just said that. It was just polite talk."
"If Squad Leader Chen feels he's not wrong, there's no need to explain." Su Jiaojiao didn't want to argue with them at all. She stood up and said, "You guys chat, I'm going to sleep."
If you want to apologize, you must have an apologetic attitude.
They don't even have an attitude, so why should they apologize?
Wang Yunying and Chen Mei looked at each other.
When did this girl become so arrogant?
Is it just because she knows a few words of Korean?
"In that case, just explain it clearly." Chen Guilan then remembered that Su Jiaojiao went to Fenghua Textile Factory to buy fabrics. She didn't know that Chen Mei worked there, nor did she know that Su Jiaojiao and Chen Mei had a conflict. After they said this, she understood the purpose of the mother and daughter's visit.
Chen Guilan is different from Su Jiaojiao.
What she thought was that they were all relatives and lived so close to each other that they would see each other every day, so she should try not to offend them if possible.
Even though Qin Shuang and Huang Jiajia didn't get along well, they didn't even quarrel with each other.
They don't talk to each other in private, but they act in a professional manner when working.
"Auntie really understands me," Chen Mei said, then sighed and began to play the victim. "Actually, working in a wholly-owned enterprise is no easier than working in a state-owned enterprise. The biggest obstacle is the language barrier. Our section chief only speaks a few words of everyday Chinese, and often we have to use an interpreter. If the boss misunderstands us, it will be bad."
"Don't worry, your cousin will definitely help you explain." Wang Yunying looked at the inner room and felt that Su Jiaojiao was very rude. When relatives came, she didn't stay here to accompany them, but went back to the room to sleep. She will not have any future.
"I also believe Jiao Jiao isn't that kind of person." Chen Mei smiled and said to Chen Guilan, "By the way, Auntie, did you know that my dad introduced Chen Juan to someone?"
"I haven't been back recently, so I don't know!" Chen Guilan was more concerned about Chen Juan and asked Wang Yunying, "Sister-in-law, where is this young man from? What are his family conditions like?"
"Your eldest brother has a friend who also drives a truck. They've known each other for several years and are very familiar with each other. His friend's sister has two sons, and this son is the eldest, who is about the same age as Chen Juan. Your eldest brother met this young man twice and thought he was a good person, so he wanted to match them up." Wang Yunying vividly described the blind date that day. "This young man actually likes our Chen Juan and is willing to marry into her family. He said that after they get married, he will bring his mother and brother over so that the family can live together and have someone to look after them."
"What's going on with this young man's father?" Chen Guilan frowned.
"He passed away a few years ago." Wang Yunying sighed. "It's not easy for a woman to raise two sons!"
Su Jiaojiao was lying on the bed, listening to the conversation outside.
I felt an inexplicable anger.
What kind of crap marriage is this? Chen Juan's family is already living a hard enough life, and now they have to help alleviate poverty!
Fortunately, it didn't work out in the previous life. If it had, she would have ruined it!
It is not easy for a woman to raise two sons, so is it easy for Chen Juan?
