Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space
Chapter 251: Crooked
Mrs. Wu felt very guilty and thought she had been too inconsiderate.
Xiao Wan didn't care. After all, no one in this world is perfect, and no one can see through what other people are thinking.
This was Wu's first time in charge, and she had done a good and responsible job.
Xiao Wan felt more and more lucky to have met such a capable helper.
Wu was very touched by Xiao Wan's tolerance, and she told herself to do better things to repay Xiao Wan's kindness.
As for the daughter-in-law who was fired, she seemed quiet on weekdays, but she started to make a fuss after being fired.
She felt that she had done nothing wrong. It was just some leftover food. There were so many eggs, so what was wrong with taking two for her children?
As for what all the fuss is about?
We are from the same village. Mrs. Wu is too harsh. I used to be on good terms with her, but now she wants to fire me.
At worst, you can just return the things yourself.
Is it necessary to make such a fuss about such a small matter?
The daily wages are thirty cents, and if you buy thirty cents of brown rice, it is enough for the family to eat for ten days.
The wife was not happy to be fired just because of such a small matter!
The daughter-in-law's family did not dare to cause trouble to the Xiao family.
However, he also found the village headman's wife, Sun, and asked for forgiveness, and returned the things that the daughter-in-law had stolen.
They also knew how to ask for help, and even brought an extra basket of eggs, which made them gasp with heartache.
This family is not reasonable. They clearly made a mistake, but they still have the audacity to blame Wu for being harsh on their own daughter-in-law.
They have already taken the things back and even sent an extra basket of eggs. My daughter-in-law should be able to continue working.
Sun also felt a little resentful of her daughter-in-law for causing trouble for the family. It was such a small matter that it was not worth firing her. Why didn't you just give her a warning in private?
Besides, can't you learn to live like that daughter-in-law, stealing two eggs, frying them for yourself, leaving one bowl for your own family, and bringing it back to nourish your eldest grandson?
What a stubborn person.
It is true that Sun had privately told Wu that she wanted to steal food, but Wu flatly refused.
She has never been one to contradict her parents-in-law and elders, but this time she sternly rejected her mother-in-law's unreasonable request.
Sun was furious, but she didn't dare to say anything in case her old man found out.
If the old man knew about this, he would skin her alive.
Therefore, Sun could only secretly blame her second daughter-in-law and became more and more disgusted with her.
Sun didn't even think about it. Even if Wu really took some food, why would she give it to other people's children? Of course, she would eat her own children first.
On weekdays, her children rarely ate meat, so it was Sun who left the delicious food and drinks for Zhao Xuancheng.
If Zhao Xuancheng hadn't seen it occasionally, shared the eggs and meat with his cousins, and sometimes even taught them how to read and write, he would have collapsed long ago.
At this time, the whole family was pestering Zhao Lizheng's house, fearing that their daughter-in-law would lose her job.
Mrs. Wu refused to give in, but Mrs. Yao stood aside and watched the fun, not minding the trouble. She even agreed with the family and said in words that Mrs. Wu was unkind.
However, Zhao Lizheng also came out at this time. Wu had already told her father-in-law the whole story before. Zhao Lizheng praised Wu's actions.
The family still felt uneasy when they saw the head of the village. After all, they came to bother Wu because she was a woman who was easy to talk to.
If they were replaced by the fair Zhao Lizheng, they would not dare to do so and would just keep telling about their difficulties and begging for mercy.
Zhao Lizheng looked at Yao with an unhappy expression. Yao suddenly felt a little nervous and dared not agree with that family anymore.
Sun didn't dare to say a word, she just looked at the basket of eggs with heartache, knowing that she would not be able to get the basket of eggs today. Her old man always claimed to be fair and upright.
But Mrs. Wu is upright and has nothing to fear from her own shadow.
Zhao Lizheng's approving look encouraged Wu, and she became more confident.
"Early in the past, when the workshop was recruiting workers, the Xiao family made it very clear what they wanted: hardworking and clean. Those who couldn't meet the requirements were fired."
"I thought this incident would serve as a warning to everyone, but I didn't expect you to knowingly commit the crime. Do you really think the Xiao family is a soft persimmon that can be squeezed?"
"The second brother's family did the right thing. If there is another such incident, I will directly fire you. If anything goes wrong, I will take responsibility for you."
"As for you, if you have the guts to steal, why don't you just be honest and come here to make trouble? The second family is doing things according to the rules. Do you think you can get involved with her? If you have the guts, go to the county lady and have a say."
"You are such a useless thing. How many people want to come in but can't? How many people from other villages envy our village's workshop? How many people are thinking about it? But you don't make progress, but instead come to my house to make trouble. Who gives you the face?"
Li Zheng Zhao was a little angry and spoke harshly. The family was a little dissatisfied. How could people from other villages compare with them?
