Luo Yan stared at Liu Jingqiu...
Seeing that Aunt Shi's words were so harsh, Liu Jingqiu still chose to remain silent, which showed that the power of her half-sheet of paper was definitely strong enough.
It seems that Xu Tai is the key figure. She needs to find a way to remind Hua Li to find Xu Tai and completely suppress Liu Jingqiu.
Liu Jingqiu did not refute, but Qu Yingqiu would not back down.
"What abuse? It's pure jealousy. They even teach their children to lie and lie to frame others."
Hua Li frowned. "You mean, the leader who's supposed to be upholding justice for me is so incapable of distinguishing right from wrong that he can't even tell if a child is lying?"
Qu Yingqiu choked, glanced at Hua Li from head to toe, and curled her lip, "Who knows why they're backing you up..."
Aunt Shi immediately flew into a rage and slammed her hand on the counter, startling even Hua Li.
"Where is your leader? Call her out. I want to ask her how someone with such low character was able to pass the screening and be hired."
Although Aunt Shi was a nanny, she had experienced hardships in her youth and had been influenced by the Sun family for many years. She usually seemed easygoing, but when she got angry, she was quite imposing and intimidating. Qu Yingqiu didn't have the confidence to talk back.
"Where is your leader?" Aunt Shi persisted.
She wouldn't tolerate anyone smearing a commander with numerous military achievements and slandering the innocent Hua Li.
Xiao Yanru smoothed things over, saying, "Children sometimes speak without thinking, please don't take it to heart."
Aunt Shi sneered, "Since they're children, why aren't they going to kindergarten? What are they doing here making such a racket?"
Qu Yingqiu lowered her eyelids, puffed out her cheeks, and remained silent. Liu Jingqiu recognized Aunt Shi as Sun Bailing's housekeeper, and dared not utter a single word.
Aunt Shi looked around and saw that no one dared to give her directions. She certainly wouldn't let Hua Li lead the way and risk arousing hatred. She planned to go upstairs to find the leader herself, but at that moment a small hand took her hand.
Luo Yan pointed upstairs, "Auntie, Tangtang..."
It's like a child who's greedy and wants candy.
The baby's mouth smelled of Wukong candy, and he kept asking for more candy, which amused Aunt Shi.
"Come on, Grandma will take you there."
As she spoke, Aunt Shi asked Luo Yan to lead the way upstairs.
Once Aunt Shi's figure was out of sight, Qu Yingqiu, who had been pretending to be dead, came back to life and said to Liu Jingqiu.
“Sister Jingqiu, I’d say this is a blessing in disguise for you. You’ve moved from working at the counter to sitting in an office. You should thank some heartless people.”
As she spoke, Qu Yingqiu glared fiercely at Hua Li.
Could it be that Luo Shicheng said he was going on a mission, but actually he was going to use his connections to arrange a job for Liu Jingqiu? Hua Li's face was grim, and she led Xiao Xiu upstairs.
Seeing this, Qu Yingqiu jumped out and stopped Hua Li.
"How can you be like this? You have to go to the leader after saying just a few words. Do you think you're a baby who hasn't been weaned and can complain about anything that happens?"
Hua Li coldly looked at Qu Yingqiu, who was half a head shorter than her.
"You can only file a complaint if the other party is at fault. Are you at fault?"
Without hesitation, Qu Yingqiu replied, "Of course not."
"Why didn't you stop me from doing anything?" Hua Li walked past Qu Yingqiu upstairs, while Qu Yingqiu opened her mouth but didn't speak, then turned back to her counter.
Hua Li had only reached the first floor when Aunt Shi came down from upstairs carrying Luo Yan, while Fang Aihua called out to Qu Yingqiu with a sullen face behind her.
Qu Yingqiu's legs trembled when she was called, and in the end, Liu Fengling accompanied her to the office.
Aunt Shi smiled and beckoned Hua Li to go back.
"Don't take it to heart. Some things you can tolerate, and some things you can't. If she dares to spout nonsense, she has to have the courage to bear the consequences."
After saying that, Aunt Shi looked around and her gaze fell on Liu Jingqiu, whose face was ashen.
"Luckily, she's just an ordinary person, and what she said wasn't specifically targeted at anyone, otherwise I'd change my surname to her if she didn't go in today."
Insulting soldiers, especially high-ranking senior leaders, is no different from courting death.
Hua Li was thinking of testifying for Aunt Shi, but it turned out that Aunt Shi didn't need her at all, which made her feel a little awkward.
Aunt Shi liked to pinch Luo Yan's little face.
"Your daughter is so adorable. When I was learning Qu Yingqiu's lines from your boss, your daughter imitated you and cried, even calling out 'Mommy' while crying. It was heartbreaking to see her like that... You've raised a daughter for nothing."
I felt sorry for both my mother and Grandma Shi. Luo Yan smiled and pouted, giving Grandma Shi a quick kiss on the cheek, which made Grandma Shi beam with joy.
"You little rascal, you're something else! Your mother has struck gold."
"What did you say? I don't understand." Luo Yan giggled and laughed along with Aunt Shi. She took out the candy that Fang Aihua had given her and painstakingly peeled off the wrapper with her little hands, then put the candy into Aunt Shi's mouth.
Grandma was a great help and deserves a reward.
"Oh dear, Grandma has eaten two pieces of candy from you in just a short while. You really dare to do that?"
Luo Yan nodded her little head. She had to be willing to give up such a good grandma.
"Waaah..." Qu Yingqiu came downstairs crying. Seeing everyone chatting and laughing, she felt that everyone was mocking her. She was so angry that she lay on the counter and cried so hard.
Under Aunt Shi's glare, Liu Fengling wanted to scold Hua Li but didn't dare, so she just hugged Qu Yingqiu and kept coaxing her.
Liu Jingqiu had already slipped away when Qu Yingqiu went upstairs, and no one spoke up for Qu Yingqiu at this time. Everyone then found something to do and got busy, and the atmosphere instantly turned cold.
Aunt Shi had seen all sorts of storms and didn't take Liu Fengling and her daughter seriously at all. She loudly instructed Hua Li.
"If you need anything in the future, just come to me. Don't underestimate me just because I'm a nobody. I'm reasonable. If anyone dares to talk nonsense or bully you again, I'll stand up for you."
Qu Yingqiu cried even harder when she heard this.
Hua Li thanked him with a smile, her voice not at all lowered.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I've almost learned all of Auntie's skills this time. When I graduate next time, please come and check on me to see if I'm up to standard."
"No problem, I'll definitely come."
Hua Li and Aunt Shi were chatting and laughing, which infuriated Liu Fengling and her daughter.
Liu Fengling and her daughter always complained about how hard their lives were, and they would ask their colleagues to take good care of them. Many of their colleagues had long been resentful because of their teasing. Now, they felt very pleased to hear Hua Li and Aunt Shi's banter and couldn't help but chuckle to themselves.
Seeing that Hua Li's side was alright for the time being, Aunt Shi told Luo Yan to go back with her for a nap.
Before Hua Li could nod, Luo Yan refused, broke free from Aunt Shi's embrace, got off the ground, and ran over to hug Hua Li's leg.
She's not going anywhere today; she'll stay here and protect her mother.
Aunt Shi saw that Luo Yan was determined not to go with her, so she didn't force her. However, when Xiao Xiu left, she looked back every few steps, her eyes full of reluctance.
Children can't stay awake, and they all get sleepy by noon. Luo Yan was no exception. She sat on a small stool, her little head nodding, which made Hua Li, who was busy selling goods again, feel very sorry for her.
After finally finishing her work, Hua Li spread her coat on a wooden crate against the wall, picked up the swaying Luo Yan and placed her on it. Luo Yan, who was already exhausted, fell asleep instantly.
