Xu Lanzhi fired Tang Qingshan and all those who gambled with him, which really surprised the workers.
Putting aside what others might say, Tang Qingshan is the village chief's son, and the village chief has been a strong supporter of Xu Lanzhi's career.
Everyone now understands that Xu Lanzhi is not someone to be trifled with.
However, Xu Lanzhi was not feeling well. She had invited Tang Qingshan herself, and now it was indeed difficult to explain to Tang Yongnian.
But she didn't want to indulge Tang Qingshan's bad temper. Xu Lanzhi missed Tang Qiqi so much. If Qiqi were here, she would definitely tell her whether she was right or wrong!
Unfortunately, Qiqi hasn't been home for seven or eight days. The private tutor said that Qiqi is exceptionally gifted and a rare smart child, but she is restless and doesn't concentrate on her studies.
Xu Lanzhi didn't expect Tang Qiqi to be very ambitious. She was only a little over four years old. She just hoped that she and her sisters could recognize a few words and not be illiterate.
However, the private tutor took a special liking to Tang Qiqi, saying that he wanted to help Tang Qiqi settle down. Xu Lanzhi also felt sorry for her, who was so young and had to travel back and forth so hard, so she let her stay in the shop in the city with Tang Xiahe and Yindi.
Jiedi, Baogen, and Zhao Zili and Zhao Ziqiang rushed back to Tangjiagou by car that night, and went to the private school to study the next day!
With Qiqi gone, Xu Lanzhi felt a tightness in her chest. After thinking it over, she decided to go find Tang Yongnian herself and apologize to him.
After being fired by Xu Lanzhi, Tang Qingshan was filled with anxiety and dared not go home. Instead, he went directly to the tavern in town.
Therefore, when Xu Lanzhi found Tang Yongnian, he was unaware that Tang Qingshan had encountered such a problem.
Tang Yongnian said to Xu Lanzhi with a smile, "Lanzhi, I was just about to thank you for arranging such a good job for Qingshan!"
Xu Lanzhi said awkwardly, "Uncle Yongnian, I've come today to apologize to you. Qingshan can't work for me for the time being!"
Tang Yongnian was caught off guard by the sudden cold water. He asked in confusion, "Lanzhi, what happened? Did Qingshan get you into trouble?"
Xu Lanzhi said with difficulty, "Uncle, this matter is not a big deal, but Qingshan has gone too far. If I keep him around, it will be difficult to convince the public!"
"What a despicable thing he did!" Tang Yongnian was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
Xu Lanzhi then told Tang Yongnian everything Tang Qingshan had done, and then said guiltily, "Uncle, if he had just falsely reported a few people, I could have turned a blind eye, but he gambled with others and allowed the workers to slack off. If I don't punish him, the workers will be hard to manage."
I know this has embarrassed you, so I came here specifically to apologize. Please let Qingshan rest for a while, and I will pay you your wages as usual!

Tang Yongnian was so angry he almost choked. He said with a pained expression, "This unfilial son is truly hopeless. Lanzhi, I'm sorry for causing you trouble. Go back now."
After finishing his sentence, Tang Yongnian turned around and left dejectedly.
Looking at Tang Yongnian's suddenly aged figure, Xu Lanzhi felt a pang of pity. She realized she might have gone too far!
Tang Qingshan still hadn't returned home by midnight that day, so Tang Yongnian found him dead drunk at a tavern in town.
Tang Qingshan didn't even recognize his own father anymore. He went over to Tang Yongnian and said, "Brother, come and have a drink!"
"You beast, take a good look at who I am!" Tang Yongnian almost vomited blood!
Tang Qingshan slurred, "I'll treat you to drinks no matter who it is. Don't be fooled by Xu Lanzhi's dismissal today; once my father gives the word, she'll have to invite me back!"
Tang Yongnian raised his cane and struck, but after only two blows, Tang Qingshan collapsed to the ground unconscious.
Tang Yongnian was furious but helpless, so he had no choice but to have Tang Qingshan taken back.
Tang Qingshan lost his job and spent his days at home in a daze. Shen felt sorry for her son and kept nagging him to ask Xu Lanzhi to intercede for him again. She said that he had already been punished and it was time to let him go back to work.
Discussion group
Tang Yongnian knew what his son had done and was already ashamed enough that he could no longer bring himself to say it.
He cursed, "Lanzhi arranged such a good job for him, with easy work and a monthly salary several times that of others. He led everyone to gamble and tried to swindle money from Lanzhi. How could I have the face to say anything to him!"
Madam Shen said with a stern face, "You believe that? Xu Lanzhi is deliberately stirring up trouble, trying to drive Zanmen Qingshan away so she can settle Chunya's son!"
Even Zhou, Qingshan's wife who had been silent until now, said, "Xu Lanzhi's family is really wicked. They deliberately had Tang Chunya say that Xu Lanzhi didn't care about money, and our Qingshan believed it and became careless."
I originally thought Tang Chunya came to our house because she wanted Qingshan to look after her mentally challenged son, but it turns out she was already eyeing Qingshan's position back then!
After Zhou said that, Shen also felt that Tang Chunya had ulterior motives, but Tang Chunya didn't have that kind of brain, and it was most likely Xu Lanzhi's idea.
When she started arranging this matter with Qingshan, she had already planned a backup plan. On the surface, it was to repay a favor to our family, but secretly, it was to humiliate Tang Yongnian.
The more the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked, the more they realized it made sense. Shen couldn't help but scold Xu Lanzhi again, and also criticized Tang Yongnian for being useless and being completely fooled by a young woman.
Tang Yongnian initially didn't believe what they said, but their detailed and convincing account made him suspicious as well.
But he still said, "Don't talk nonsense. If Qingshan were upright and honest, people would kick him out!"

Tang Qingshan, who was paralyzed in bed and unable to get up after being beaten by Tang Yongnian, was in a bad mood. Upon hearing this, he didn't even think about his own mistakes and actually regarded himself as a victim!
He gritted his teeth and said, "This is a trap set by Xu Lanzhi. Erzhuzi has an ambiguous relationship with her, so she definitely has to keep him around. Liu Jianchang is her nephew, so she's making fun of me, an outsider!"
Tang Yongnian scolded, "You brat, even now you still don't repent, why are you dragging Erzhuzi into this again!"
Tang Qingshan lay on the bed and said bitterly, "Dad, do you think Xu Lanzhi is a good person? She sews clothes for Erzhuzi without even hiding it from others. Who knows what she's really like behind the scenes!"
Zhou added fuel to the fire, saying, "It's true! Many people saw her little girl bringing clothes to Erzhuzi, she was practically calling him 'Dad'!"
"Shut up, all of you!" Tang Yongnian was furious but had nowhere to vent his anger, so he left sullenly!
Tang Qingshan now hated Xu Lanzhi. He secretly vowed that he would repay Xu Lanzhi tenfold or a hundredfold for the humiliation he had suffered.
At this moment, an evil thought had already taken root in his mind, while Xu Lanzhi's family remained completely unaware.
Tang Qiqi was in a dilemma at the moment. Her teacher had recently been paying a lot of attention to her, and he often made her recite and explain things.
She praised him highly, which made her quite famous in the private school. Everyone called her a child prodigy, and she gained a devoted little follower!
