Wang Chunyan breathed a sigh of relief when her mother came to the rescue.
Hu Guangzong replied stupidly: "No matter how it came from, my mother gave it to me. I am her son. Isn't it normal for me to take over the business?"
I like kids like this.
Ming Erni's smile deepened: "You are young, so you may not know that Chunyan's job was passed down to her by her father Wang Chengyong after his death."
The onlookers widened their eyes.
Isn't this trend different from what everyone expected?
It was supposed to be a story about stepmother and stepson causing a scene in a department store for work, but how did it turn into a family ethics drama?
Hu Guangzong was no fool. He immediately jumped up and said, "You're lying! Mom said she got in on her own. Besides, how could your Wang family be willing to give her the job?!"
Ming Erni sighed, "There's nothing I can do. When her father passed away, your uncle was still young. I thought Chunyan would take over first, and then her brother. But who would have thought your uncle would be so ambitious and learn the trade from a car repair master, so your mother has been doing this job ever since."
After doing this for more than ten years, the Hu family thinks that this job belongs to the Hu family?
Ming Erni could still tolerate giving it to her own granddaughter Hu Maner, but it was impossible for her to give it to this ungrateful little bastard!
The onlookers were skeptical.
After all, who is so rich that they would give their daughter's job to her husband's family without making it public for more than ten years?
Ming Erni knew that no one would believe her, so she smiled and said, "Mian girl, please go to the steel mill and ask Old Man Wu, the leader of Group 6, to come over."
Xiang Mianmian, who was named, was surprised. How come she, a melon-eating girl, also has a role?
"Just tell Old Man Wu to bring the work certificate from thirteen years ago to the department store." Ming Erni encouraged her with a smile.
Xiang Mianmian knew that the mission was to save Wang Chunyan's job, and this was probably the time, so she put aside her idle mood and ran to the steel plant.
Ming Erni continued to explain to everyone:
"Wang Chengyong used to work in a steel mill. He did hard labor, shoveling coal into the boiler. Although it was a bit hot, he was always in good health.
Suddenly one day, someone from the steel mill came to say he had passed away. I thought it was a joke, but when I went there, I found out he was really gone, leaving us, a widow and an orphan..."
As she spoke, she began to cry. Most of the onlookers were women, and they had suffered the same pain as her, so someone handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
Ming Erni couldn't stop crying when she thought of the helplessness she felt at that time and the difficulties she faced after her husband's death.
She continued, choking with sobs:
"The steel mill was kind enough to give compensation and even keep the job of the child's father, saying it would be inherited by his children. My son Chunsheng is only 12 years old and cannot do heavy work.
After all the calculations, Chunyan, the eldest daughter, was suitable at 16, but how could a woman go to the boiler to shovel coal? There were only men there, and they would go shirtless when it was hot.
I swapped jobs with Old Man Wu's wife. She works at our department store, and her son wanted a job at the steel mill. Coincidentally, we were both very satisfied with the job."
No wonder they wanted to invite Old Man Wu over. Ming Erni herself had a work certificate, but she knew that no one would listen to her one-sided story, so third-party testimony would be useful.
"Changing jobs isn't something to be proud of, so we kept it a secret. I asked your mother to tell everyone, and she got the job at the department store on her own."
Ming Erni explained the whole story, and everyone thought it was reasonable.
Who would be so foolish as to publicly announce that they traded their job for someone else's? If it got out of hand, the company would find out and they might even get fired.
Because changing jobs is strictly speaking illegal. If you succeed secretly, it's fine. But if you publicize it, others can report you and get both jobs fired!
But now Hu Guangzong was causing trouble at Wang Chunyan's work, so Ming Erni had to say something.
Otherwise, the Hu family would really think that this job was in their pocket and they could use it however they wanted, without taking the Wang family seriously.
Hu Guangzong could not accept this fact and looked at Wang Chunyan in panic.
Wang Chunyan didn't bother to pay attention to him. She called him son out of respect. If she didn't give him face, why would she keep him as her unlucky son? Was he just causing trouble?
Wang Chunyan lowered her head and said, "Mom was afraid that I would leak the news, so she took me to the department store before telling me."
This is true. At that time, she was just like Hu Guangzong, who couldn't hide things. It was only later that she found out that the job was to take over her father's position.
Those who don’t have time to eat melons can only smack their lips, listen to the general idea and then leave, as they have things to do at home.
Most of them were patient enough to wait and had to eat the whole melon so they could brag about it to others when they got home.
Some clever people took the opportunity to borrow a bench from a familiar teller, bought a bag of melon seeds and started eating them, bringing up the affairs of the Wang and Hu families.
People certainly can’t remember the old gossip, but everyone still remembers Hu Jiaojiao from half a year ago. Soon, an aunt sneered: "This kid is just like his cousin, not a good guy."
"Who's the kid who's thinking about his stepmother's job? Besides, Chunyan has been saying that his family is looking for a job for him. There's obviously a way to solve it. Why does he have to force his mother to give up her position?"
"She's the same as Hu Jiaojiao. One sleeps with men for work, the other makes a scene with her stepmother for work. They're both idiots."
The crowd's words became more and more outrageous, and they began to indiscriminately attack everyone in the Hu family.
Hu Guangzong had never suffered such humiliation before, so he went up to argue with them. However, how could a teenager possibly win over dozens of aunts? Even a hundred Hu Guangzongs would not be their match.
He wanted to hit someone even though he was hit in the sore spot, so the aunties were even less afraid. After all, they were all seasoned.
He dodged very quickly, but that didn't stop him from talking about the Hu family's gossip. He almost brought out all the gossip about Hu's grandfather.
