As soon as she thought of her current status, she backed off again.
The status of the two was very different, and she was sure that if she went to find her, she would still have time to pay attention to her like before.
Now it seems that I was overthinking all this.
No matter how she changes, she is still the Jian Xiu she knows.
It's just that her personality has changed. She has become more decisive and stronger.
"No matter how powerful my identity is, I am still Jian Xiu. I will remember the help she gave me for the rest of my life."
Jian Xiu looked at Zhang Xuemei and said very seriously.
How could Jian Xiu tell what Zhang Xuemei was thinking?
Judging from Zhang Xuemei's expression just now, Jian Xiu knew that she was in trouble.
"Then you called me in today, are you really going to arrange some things for me?" Zhang Xuemei asked again.
Actually, this is not a big deal. Now that Xiuqi Hanmen is here, she is also considered a manager.
Although she and the Wang brothers have great power, she is also responsible for a lot of affairs.
"No, I just want to ask you what difficulties you have encountered. Do you need my help?" Jian Xiu said frankly.
Although these were her household chores, she would definitely help as long as Zhang Xuemei asked.
Besides, she had experienced this lesson a few years ago, and she was not a good elder.
She was sure that if Zhang Xuemei hadn't had her behind her, she would have suffered more grievances.
Sure enough, after I said this, Zhang Xuemei didn't say anything.
"Do you want to go home?" Jian Xiu asked again.
She knew all too well about what was happening in the Dong family.
Was she like this back then?
For biased mother-in-law and father-in-law, staying at home is the best way out.
"Did you figure it out?" Zhang Xuemei said with a wry smile.
Then he told everything that had happened in Old Li's family over the years.
"You said that they disliked you for only giving birth to one son?" Jian Xiu asked in disbelief.
"Well, in the eyes of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, I spent a lot of money from the Li family to give birth to this son and daughter, but there's nothing I can do. What they say seems to be true."
Since the wedding, Zhang Xuemei's stomach has been still.
But because her husband Jian Fuyin insisted, she was not divorced.
Otherwise, she would have been divorced as early as the year they got married.
It is precisely because of this that Old Li keeps talking about this matter.
And this was exactly where Zhang Xuemei was in the wrong.
Although she earned the most money in the Jian family in recent years, her mother-in-law, Mrs. Li, only occasionally showed her a good face.
Most of the time, I blame her more.
"Have you been just swallowing your anger all these years?" Jian Xiu couldn't help but ask.
"But what should I do? She is my elder, how can I disobey her? Even if I am against her, I dare not come here openly."
"Have you handed over all the money you earned in the workshop over the years?" Jian Xiu asked again.
"Not really, but I turned in most of it."
"Why?" At this time, Jian Xiu's voice had already risen.
You know, she pays her employees very little, especially those in positions like Zhang Xuemei, who get paid up to 20 copper coins a day.
In this way, you can earn 600 copper coins a month.
That’s not all. During festivals, there will be some gift bonuses.
In the first two days after arriving at the workshop, she took a look at the account book. Zhang Xuemei did a lot of good work and often received high bonuses.
All in all, she was short of one or two taels of silver every month.
One tael of silver is considered a lot of money in this village.
Are there any other gifts?
Thinking of this, Jian Xiu said again before Zhang Xuemei opened her mouth:
"Have you handed over all your bonuses over the years?"
"No, I only paid part of the bonus."
"All? That means you handed over all the money, and you only kept a part of the bonus?"
After hearing this, Zhang Xuemei also knew why, and suddenly felt a little braver to face Jian Xiu.
Just looking at Jian Xiu's disappointed look, Zhang Xuemei nodded helplessly.
"Where is Jian Fuyin? Did he just let you be bullied?" Jian Xiu asked again.
"Not really, but as you know, he also works in the workshop, and there are often things at home, and I don't want to make it too difficult for him."
The further she spoke, the lower Zhang Xuemei's voice became, until it was as low as a mosquito's.
"So, you're making things difficult for yourself?"
"I didn't make it hard for myself, because my parents-in-law had already promised us that Zixing could be sent to college."
Zixing is Zhang Xuemei's son, and he is over three years old this year.
Children were Zhang Xuemei's only hope. As long as they treated her children well, she would not mind suffering a little grievance.
"Just because of this, you have been enduring it?" Jian Xiu seemed to see through Zhang Xuemei's thoughts and asked again.
"What can I do to endure it? The teacher said that the elders should be at home. I also mentioned this to Bok-yin, and we finally let it go."
"Have you ever thought about this? If you were married, you and your son Xing would have enough money to go to college, and your life would be much easier. But what about now? His eldest wife wants to use the money earned by your second wife to support his son's education, and your mother-in-law still treats you like this. Are you upset?"
Jian Xiu said again.
"What about me?" Zhang Xuemei said helplessly.
There was a tone of someone trying hard to hold back tears.
Seeing this, Jian Xiu finally sighed.
They say every family has its own problems, but this is really true.
Even though Zhang Xuemei has such a good job now, she still lives a satisfactory life.
"I guess your mother should know about this, too."
Based on Jian Xiu's understanding of Zhang Xue's sister, Aunt Zhao, she would definitely not let her daughter suffer this injustice.
Because Aunt Zhao has many other things, but her son has the most.
I only have this one daughter, and I spoiled her as she grew up.
How could he let his own daughter suffer such an injustice?
Sure enough, after hearing Jian Xiu's words, Zhang Xuemei immediately shook her head and said, "I don't want to make them worry."
"So you have swallowed all the grievances yourself over the years?" Jian Xiu looked at Zhang Xuemei with hatred.
"Telling them will only add to their troubles?"
Hearing this, Jian Xiu was also angry and hateful.
Is she so considerate and understanding since she met Zhang Xuemei?
Looking at the time, they should have finished harvesting the grapes, so Yu Jianxiu suggested:
"I may not have visited my parents. I'll go back with you later."
