Gu Qi has always been a cold and aloof person, and he didn't agree with anything.
Chen Xingling also had a general idea of what was going on, so he just listened quietly.
Little Tiger was very curious and asked, "Doesn't Grandpa Guo know that 'a forced melon is not sweet'? How could he do this?"
Forehead?
The driver explained with a little embarrassment: "Deputy Director Liu was promoted by Lao Guo. He was considered his most proud son and was trained almost like his own son. Lao Guo might have thought that it was better to keep the wealth within the family. Moreover, Director Guo admired and liked Deputy Director Liu very much."
After all, Xiao Hu is still a child and doesn't understand the complexity of human relationships.
"Is Grandpa Guo relying on his power over Uncle Liu to force him to marry the old witch? The old witch likes Uncle Liu, but Uncle Liu doesn't like her! Isn't Grandpa Guo going too far? The Marriage Law stipulates freedom of marriage!"
driver:"……"
Gu Qi pursed his lips and smiled softly.
Chen Xingling almost laughed out loud.
Little Tiger was still immersed in doubts, and asked suspiciously: "It's good to keep money in the family. Uncle Liu was promoted by Grandpa Guo. Didn't he get promoted? Didn't Grandpa Guo do this in vain and harm Uncle Liu?"
The driver didn't dare to answer such a question and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Xiao Hu, you... you are still young. You won't understand these questions even if I tell you. Children think things are too simple. In fact, things are often very complicated."
The little fellow snorted in frustration, "You don't understand anything just because you're young? I don't think so. The book says that the way to success is simple. Could it be that you adults always like to overcomplicate things? If we kids can play together, then we can play together. If we don't like to play together, then we don't want to! Uncle Liu doesn't want her anymore, but the old witch is still pestering him. How shameless!"
The driver was speechless. He couldn't win the argument with the little guy, and he didn't know what to say, so he just stopped talking.
It was not until the car arrived at the gate of "Sanyuan" that the driver pleaded in a low voice: "Engineer Gu, sister-in-law, Director Guo's life is really not easy..."
"Got it." Gu Qi said calmly: "We are entering the city, be careful on the road."
Chen Xingling waved his hand: "Tututut, drive. Goodbye!"
The driver drove the car slowly away.
At this time, Gu Yi and Zhao Xiaoxing ran out of the house.
“Huzi! Huzi!” Gu Yi hurried over and snatched the little guy from Gu Qi’s arms. He looked around in panic: “Are you okay? Hu? Where are you hurt?”
Little Tiger pointed at his elbows and knees: "Here! Here! The skin is broken and it's bleeding!"
Gu Yi was heartbroken. He carefully avoided the wound and carried his nephew to sit on his shoulders.
Zhao Xiaoxing's eyes were red and she choked up: "After we heard it... we were all very worried!"
Chen Xingling couldn't help but ask: "How did you know?"
Gu Yi frowned and explained, "I have to work tonight. I was halfway through my work when someone told me something happened. I hurried over to look for you, but you all got in the car and left. The waiter next to me explained that Xiao Huzi didn't look serious, but I heard that he had to go to the hospital, and I was very worried! I didn't know which hospital to go to, so I simply asked for leave from the on-duty master and came here to wait for you."
"Oh no!" Chen Xingling hurried into the house: "The kitchen - they're still cooking!"
Zhao Xiaoxing smiled bitterly and followed up: "Sister-in-law, it's already burnt. I'll pour it out and clean the pot."
Chen Xingling couldn't help but ask: "Nothing else?"
"No." Zhao Xiaoxing explained: "Only the rice was burnt, and the other stoves were not cooking anything. When we came in, the door was open and the lights were off. Ayi and I went upstairs to check, and everything was fine."
The shipyard gate is usually guarded by security guards. There are residential areas nearby, and most of the residents are from the local area. The public security situation is usually good.
In order to snatch his son away, Chen Xingling didn't care that the rice was still steaming on the stove in the kitchen, let alone that the door outside was still open!
Fortunately, there were not many people coming and going at night, and there was a wall outside, so the house was not robbed.
Gu Qi raised his chin slightly: "Don't stand there, go inside and have a drink of water and rest your feet."
Little Tiger was frightened and the wounds on his body could not get wet. Chen Xingling did not let Gu Qi do it. He washed his body and changed his clothes himself. Only after seeing that he had fallen asleep peacefully did he feel relieved and go downstairs.
Gu Yi was still furious and said, "Sister-in-law, we can't just let this go! Several children in the factory have suffered recently! How can Director Guo always protect her like this! Today it was our Hu Zi - fortunately he was just injured, what if... what if something serious happened, what can we do?! After all, we need justice not only for our Hu Zi, but also for other innocent children. We can't let Guo fool around with this matter again!"
"Of course." Chen Xingling nodded.
Gu Qi also said in unison that we can't just let it go like this.
Zhao Xiaoxing stood up and said, "Ayi, let's come to see Huzi tomorrow. It's late, and my brother and sister-in-law are exhausted. Let's go first and let them rest early."
Gu Yi answered and walked out of the living room door first.
Chen Xingling walked behind Zhao Xiaoxing holding her hand and asked in a low voice: "It's only been a few days since we last met, why do you seem to have lost weight?"
Zhao Xiaoxing smiled bitterly and lowered her voice: "Sister-in-law, I...I have to take care of my mother-in-law these days."
Chen Xingling whispered distressedly: "She is pretending to be sick, don't listen to her. Tomorrow you should tell her that you have found a job and you need to make money from now on."
"But..." Zhao Xiaoxing shook her head: "My mother-in-law won't believe me. She...she's very fierce and won't let me rest for a while. She also won't let me...have a full meal. Every time I can only eat their leftovers."
Chen Xingling had also suffered such a torture before, and whispered: "The more you fear her, the more you dare not run away, and this kind of life will never end. Listen to me, come to work for me starting tomorrow, and I will arrange work for you."
"What?" Zhao Xiaoxing was stunned and asked, "What kind of work?"
Chen Xingling explained with a smile: "Da Li and I have become contractors and have taken on a small project that will take at least a few months, and may not be completed until next year. Your job content is the same as when you helped me before. You will be responsible for boiling water and providing lunch, and helping to clean up in the morning and evening. Your daily salary will be the same as that of other workers."
"Really?!" Zhao Xiaoxing was overjoyed: "Sister-in-law, then I-I will work with you and Dali in the future! I don't want such a high salary! Twenty yuan is enough for the canteen in front!"
"I'll take care of whatever I arrange." Chen Xingling said, "Don't bother me. Just tell mother-in-law and she'll come over to help tomorrow afternoon."
Zhao Xiaoxing almost knelt down, choking with sobs: "Sister-in-law... Thank you! I really want to go out to work, no matter how tiring or hard the work is, I will do it. My mother-in-law is really... She scares me a lot."
Chen Xingling understood very well and patted the back of her hand gently.
"People here may not know her character yet. I have been her daughter-in-law for several years, so I know her best. Don't be afraid. You can tell her that you want to make money and give her 10 yuan salary every month. She only loves money, and she will ask you to work immediately when she hears that you have money."
Zhao Xiaoxing nodded quickly: "Well, I'll tell her tomorrow."
She held Chen Xingling's hand tightly, tears of gratitude filling her eyes: "Sister-in-law, I don't know what to say... Thank you. You are my lifesaver."
Seeing that they hadn't walked out of the door for a long time, Gu Yi waited outside.
After Zhao Xiaoxing walked out of the room, she immediately told him the news.
Gu Yi was extremely surprised and asked, "Sister-in-law, you-you still have to go to school? Ma Dali also has to go to school, right? Can you handle it?"
"It should be." Chen Xingling said: "College courses are much easier than high school courses. We will allocate time to cooperate with each other. In addition, we also hired Master Mo, who is responsible for design and supervision. We don't have to stay on the construction site all the time."
"Sister-in-law, this is the first time I've heard of a project that is completely contracted." Gu Yi asked with a strange smile: "Is this kind of thing profitable?"
Chen Xingling smiled and replied, "I don't know yet. I'll know how much I can earn after the project is finished."
