717: Didn’t you expect that this day would come?
Although Chen Ci is a pregnant woman, her husband is Yu Zhengxian, and his wife is the chief steward, which allows her to manage Yu Zhengxian and continue to work for the canteen.
Maybe Yu Zhengxian is working harder than before.
There is another consideration for doing this, which is the relationship between Chen Ci and the director's wife: How can such a good opportunity to flatter someone be missed?
After making this decision, the bearded captain made a special trip to the couple's cabin and told Chen Ci the news:
"Xiao Shen, Mrs. Xue's position has been removed. It has now been decided that you will take over the job of Chief Steward."
Chen Ci and Yu Zhengxian were both dumbfounded. Yu Zhengxian asked uncertainly:
"Captain Hu, did I hear correctly? Let my wife be the canteen manager?"
"Yes, I heard it right."
Neither of them expected that things would take such a sudden turn!
It was too sudden.
Chen Ci looked down at her belly, which was about to give birth, and said to the bearded captain:
"Captain Hu, I'm not feeling well right now, so I'm afraid I can't handle this. Also, I'll be in confinement for the baby soon, and I might not be able to manage the kitchen during that time."
The bearded captain had an attitude of "this is not a problem":
"It's okay, Xiao Shen. You're an educated youth. You just need to take care of the canteen's income and expenditure. Let others do the rest. It's no problem."
This "other person" of course refers to Yu Zhengxian.
Chen Ci was still hesitating. She really didn't want to be the chief steward. The title of chief steward was not high, but the responsibilities he had to bear were not small. She had no management experience. Why did she suddenly become the chief steward?
Besides, she is now in the late stages of pregnancy and is very tired, so she doesn't want to worry about it anymore.
The bearded captain didn't give Chen Ci any chance to refuse:
"It's decided. From now on, you'll be the quartermaster. Starting next month, your salary will be raised by one level. Also, Mrs. Xue will be leaving our forest farm soon, so feel free to take over."
After that, the bearded captain warned Yu Zhengxian seriously:
"Yu Zhengxian, Xiao Shen has a heavy burden on her shoulders right now. You have to share more of it with her. Do you hear me?!"
“I heard it!”
After giving the order, the bearded captain left.
Chen Ci and Yu Zhengxian were left looking at each other in bewilderment in the room.
Chen Ci rarely looked at Yu Zhengxian straight in the eye, which made Yu Zhengxian's heart move and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Seeing that he became brighter with a little sunshine, Chen Ci immediately turned her head and sat down at the table with a sad face.
She really didn't know how to be a quartermaster.
Yu Zhengxian guessed her thoughts and encouraged her:
"Wife, it's okay. Captain Hu asked you to be your assistant, so just do it. It's no big deal. I'll help you. I'll do all the work from now on!"
Chen Ci still ignored him.
However, if she really couldn't get rid of this quartermaster, she might really have to rely on Yu Zhengxian.
Chen Ci felt a headache.
Thinking about what happened to Mrs. Xue, Chen Ci felt relieved again.
I wonder what Mrs. Xue is feeling at this moment?
Do you regret having an affair with Yu Zhengxian?
Would Mrs. Xue feel more miserable than when she first discovered their affair?
Thinking of this, Chen Ci suddenly said to Yu Zhengxian:
"Can you accompany me to visit Mrs. Xue?"
"ah?"
"Why, you don't want to go? Can't you bear to see Mrs. Xue suffer?"
"No, it's not."
Yu Zhengxian simply didn't expect Chen Ci to have such a strange idea.
Why go to see Mrs. Xue?
Is it a real visit, or is it just a joke?
No matter what, no matter what, since his wife said it, Yu Zhengxian had no choice but to agree:
"Okay, you want to go see her, right? Come on, I'll go with you!"
Yu Zhengxian locked the door and accompanied Chen Ci to the door of the female dormitory.
Inside, Mrs. Xue was still sobbing and crying until her voice became hoarse.
Yu Zhengxian opened the door and let Chen Ci go in first.
Chen Ci walked into the dormitory where she used to live and saw Mrs. Xue still lying on the kang with disheveled hair. Her face was red and swollen, and her eyes were swollen like walnuts. There were several bald spots on the top of her head, and there were faint blood scabs on the bald spots.
So miserable!
But Chen Ci showed no sympathy and called out calmly:
"Mrs. Xue."
When Mrs. Xue heard Chen Ci's voice, she stopped crying immediately and jumped up from the kang. Her eyes were filled with vicious and sinister light, making her look even more hideous and terrifying, like a female ghost encountered in a cemetery at night.
When Yu Zhengxian saw Mrs. Xue's vicious look, he was afraid that she would jump up and hurt Chen Ci, so he immediately stood in front of Chen Ci and protected half of her body.
Mrs. Xue stared at the two of them hatefully, her eyes filled with endless humiliation and unwillingness.
It’s all these two people’s fault!
It’s all the fault of that bastard Yu Zhengxian!
This heartless man not only didn't help me when I was beaten, but now he is adding insult to injury!
How could Mrs. Xue swallow this?!
She gritted her teeth in hatred.
Yu Zhengxian was a little worried when he saw Mrs. Xue's vicious look:
"Wife, let's go and ignore her."
"Why, you can't bear to see her in such a pitiful state?"
"Of course not, I'm just afraid she'll do it. Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything—"
Chen Ci ignored him and calmly said to Mrs. Xue on the kang:
"Mrs. Xue, you didn't expect that you would end up like this, did you?"
Mrs. Xue opened her mouth to say something, but she was so hoarse from crying that her voice came out hoarse and no one could hear what she was saying.
Seeing her like this, Chen Ci raised the corners of her mouth slightly. She knew that gloating over someone else's misfortune was immoral, but Mrs. Xue's painful expression and swollen face gradually offset the frustration in her heart.
The evil spirit of the moon.
She had not originally intended to retaliate. She had been silently enduring and licking her wounds for several months. It was only today when she saw Yu Jiahui and Xu Ying standing up for her that she suddenly realized that she could do this.
It turns out that it is true that kind people are often bullied and kind horses are often ridden.
Sometimes you can’t blame others for bullying you. It’s because you are too cowardly that others do that.
Otherwise, if someone were like Yu Jiahui, Xu Ying, and Yu Xiaoye, who would never tolerate a grudge and would never swallow their anger, others would not dare to provoke them easily.
Therefore, people really cannot be too weak.
The weaker you are, the easier it will be for others to control you.
Therefore, Chen Ci decided to learn from the Yu family and be tough, and give the fallen dog a beating!
Give yourself a vent.
"Mrs. Xue, when you were with Yu Zhengxian, you didn't expect to be beaten today, did you?"
“——” Mrs. Xue opened her mouth again, but only a vague pronunciation came out and she couldn’t utter a complete sentence.
Almost became a mute.
Chen Ci smiled, glanced at Yu Zhengxian again, and continued:
"If you two really love each other, I can help you now. I will divorce you and let you two be together——"
"No!" Yu Zhengxian shouted loudly before Chen Ci finished speaking, "I won't divorce you. I have always loved you, not this woman! Even if you divorce me, I will never look for her again. Even if all the women in the world die, I will not look for her!"
When Mrs. Xue heard these heartbreaking words, it really hurt more than being slapped in the face!
She raised her face and started crying again.
