Qin Jinlian was the first to react. She hurriedly pulled Shen Mingzhu's hand and asked, "When was the baby born? Is it a boy or a girl?"
Jia Yuemei became visibly nervous.
Originally, Du Juan's first child was a girl, and she also gave birth to a girl. The two sisters-in-law were equals and neither looked down on the other.
But if Du Juan gives birth to a boy as her second child, she will be inferior to others in the family in the future.
Nizi, please make sure you give birth to a pure Nizi.
God did not hear Jia Yuemei's prayers.
"The newborn, mother and child are safe."
When she heard it was a boy, Qin Jinlian was so excited that she clapped her legs and bowed to the sky, "Oh, God bless you, thank God! My Shen family has a big fat grandson!"
For rural people, having no grandchildren means that the family line will not be passed on, and this has been Qin Jinlian's concern for many years.
Now that she had gotten what she wanted, Qin Jinlian wanted to announce it to the world, letting everyone know that she had a grandson! Shen Xiangnan and Shen Jianguo were also very excited, after all, it was a happy occasion to have a new baby.
In the entire Shen family, the only unhappy person is probably Jia Yuemei.
The words he said were also sour, "No wonder my sister-in-law had to work in another place. It turns out she went there specifically to hide and give birth. She gave birth in January, so she was pregnant in March last year. My sister-in-law kept it a secret and didn't leak any information."
Shen Mingzhu replied in a neutral tone, "My sister-in-law did this because she didn't want to cause trouble for the family. After all, there are always those who can't give birth to a son and like to report behind our backs."
Jia Yuemei's face turned red with embarrassment, but she didn't dare to admit that she was the whistleblower, so she could only sulk in secret.
The whole family was extremely happy, and Qin Jinlian immediately packed her bags and went to Rongcheng to take care of Du Juan during her confinement.
Jia Yuemei was unhappy, "Mom, if you leave, who will help me take care of Erya?"
Qin Jinlian's mind and eyes were filled with her fat grandson, so she had no mood to care about her granddaughter's affairs.
"You can raise your own child, or send it to your parents' home!"
Seeing that Qin Jinlian could not be relied upon, Jia Yuemei suddenly turned her eyes and actually set her sights on Shen Mingzhu. She wanted to send Erya to the Pei family and ask Sister Yu to help take care of her.
"It's the same whether you raise one or two. The two children can be playmates when they are together."
Shen Mingzhu was so angry that she almost laughed.
It's hard enough for her to raise her own child, and now she's helping Jia Yuemei raise her daughter. Is she sick?
"Second sister-in-law, I don't have the time to help you raise the baby. Whoever gives birth to the baby should raise it. As for Sister Yu, she does this for money. If you want her to help take care of the baby, then you should go and negotiate the wages with her yourself."
Jia Yuemei was unhappy, "Didn't you pay her already? What's wrong with asking her to help take care of the baby?"
"Second sister-in-law, if you are given one pay to do two jobs, would you be willing to do it?"
Qin Jinlian left as soon as she said she would and took the train to Chengdu that evening.
As for Jia Yuemei, Shen Mingzhu had no time to pay attention to her. The food factory and the restaurant resumed work at the same time on the sixth day of the first lunar month, and she had a lot of things to do.
What she didn't expect was that Jia Yuemei actually brought the child to the restaurant.
"...The crying of the child not only affects the diners, but also the employees' rest at night. She is busy taking care of the child and cannot do her work well, so other people have to help her share the burden. It's okay for one or two days, but after a long time, everyone can't help but complain."
After listening to Julie's report, Shen Mingzhu said without even raising her head, "Just handle this matter yourself, no need to ask me."
Julie knew clearly that although Shen Mingzhu seemed to be delegating power to her, it was actually a test for her.
…
When Julie returned to the restaurant, Peng Ling and Ma Xiaoping ran up to her angrily to complain.
There are four waiters in the restaurant, each in charge of three private rooms. Today, both of Jia Yuemei's private rooms are booked.
Jia Yuemei should have cleaned the reserved private room in advance, put out cups, plates, bowls and chopsticks, prepared hot water, and steamed hot towels for guests to use while dining.
When Peng Ling went to the toilet and passed by the dormitory door, she saw Jia Yuemei lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.
And this is not the first time.
"If this continues, I will quit. We are here to work. It's ok to put up with the customers' wrath on us, but why should we put up with her?"
"If you don't want to do it, just leave. There are so many people who want to do this job, and we don't need you."
Jia Yuemei lazily walked over from behind and sneered in a lukewarm tone.
Walking next to Jia Yuemei was another waiter, Liu Shuqin.
Liu Shuqin just came last month and has always been close to Jia Yuemei.
Apparently, he saw Peng Ling and Ma Xiaoping complaining to Zhu Li, so he went to report the letter to Jia Yuemei.
"Didn't you say you didn't want to work anymore? Why don't you leave? Do you want me to chase you away with a broom?"
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
Peng Ling's face turned red.
The restaurant paid well and the work was not tiring. She didn't really want to quit her job, she was just saying it out of anger.
But after hearing what Jia Yuemei said, she felt really embarrassed, and she felt really wronged, so she wanted to take off her apron and leave immediately.
Julie stopped him halfway through the solution, "The guests are coming soon, get back to work."
With the step provided by Julie, Ma Xiaoping took the opportunity to pull Peng Ling away.
"Forget it. After all, he has a backer. We can't afford to offend him."
After walking a distance away, Ma Xiaoping whispered to comfort Peng Ling, while also comforting herself at the same time.
Peng Ling's eyes turned red with anger. "Are we going to be bullied by her forever? Why? Boss Shen said at the beginning that she is a waitress just like us. She is not special than us, and she is not our leader."
Ma Xiaoping sighed: "It's just for fun. After all, they are a family. We outsiders can't compare."
Peng Ling lowered her head and wiped her tears.
The other end.
Liu Shuqin gave Jia Yuemei a thumbs up with envy, "You are the best. Look at those two people, they dare not fart in front of you."
Jia Yuemei folded her arms across her chest and glanced at Ma Xiaoping and Peng Ling in the corridor opposite.
"She wants to sue me without considering her own status. If she really piss me off, I'll ask my sister-in-law to fire them all!"
Liu Shuqin was busy flattering Jia Yuemei, and asked Jia Yuemei to help intercede and let her sister from her family work in the restaurant.
"...My sister and I are on the same page. We all support you. When the time comes, we can drive that Zhu guy away as well. Then, won't the position of restaurant manager fall to you?"
Jia Yuemei liked to hear this and immediately said that she would take care of the matter.
Although the words were spoken, Jia Yuemei did not dare to really look for Shen Mingzhu.
Because she knew that she was nothing in front of Shen Mingzhu, and she might even get scolded.
After work, Jia Yuemei found Julie and asked her to recruit Liu Shuqin's sister to work as a waitress in the restaurant.
Jia Yuemei had beautiful thoughts.
It would be great if Julie agreed. If she didn't, she would tell Liu Shuqin that it was Julie who refused to marry her sister, so that Liu Shuqin would hate Julie.
To Jia Yuemei's surprise, Julie agreed to let Liu Shuqin's sister come to the restaurant for an interview. (End of this chapter)
