To make up for the debt owed to Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Zhiyuan was sick for three days.

He was almost fully recovered after three days.

Lin Qingping is going back to the factory.

On the day I left, I made Zhiyuan a double-skin milk pudding, and he ate it obediently.

After breakfast, Gu Youlian and Du Gen brought over the wheat. The two children obediently said goodbye to the adults, and Lin Qingping and Er Mei set off with Gu Youlian and her husband.

Zhiyuan didn't mention her going to the capital again, as if he had accepted it, or as if he had understood Lin Qingping's explanation.

However, Lin Qingping had only been home for a few days when another incident occurred at the factory.

To be precise, it was her younger brother, Lin Jiagui, who got into trouble.

Lin Jiagui was arrested by the factory's security department for stealing sample garments and intending to resell them to other garment factories. He has already confessed and is currently being held in the factory. He has not been sent to the police station, which is a favor to Lin Qingping, and they are waiting for her to handle the matter.

Upon hearing this, Gu Youlian and Du Gen remained silent, tacitly agreeing to keep quiet.

This is a family matter for my younger brother and sister-in-law, and it's not convenient for them to say anything, although they can't quite understand why my younger brother and sister-in-law have such an unreliable younger brother.

The couple went back to their dormitory first.

When Du Gen returned home this time, his mother-in-law asked him about Du Gen again, demanding that he hand over his salary to her for management.

Dugan couldn't produce it.

Because the money was in Gu Youlian's hands.

The last time the couple argued, Gu Youlian demanded that they each manage their own money. Du Gen not only agreed, but also handed over all his money to Gu Youlian.

The two fell in love and got married on their own, and their relationship has always been good. How could they have a lifetime of arguments?

Du Gen backed down, and Gu Youlian accepted the money and stopped being angry.

Gu Youlian is kind-hearted. Although her mother-in-law took more than 10,000 yuan to support her own family and it was impossible to get it back, she thought that as long as she was willing to work hard, there was no reason why she couldn't make money.

But to my surprise, I got angry with my mother-in-law again when I went back this time.

Because her mother-in-law didn't get any money from Du Gen, she subtly belittled Gu Youlian.

If you kill a chicken to stew for your son, you'll be met with a sarcastic remark like, "Why not kill a chicken that doesn't lay eggs and waste food?"

And then they say, "Why isn't the money being kept for Dugen, her mother? There are no descendants to inherit it!"

Then she smashed pots and bowls in the house, saying that she had caused the Du family line to end.

Gu Youlian was furious. What do you mean by "no descendants"? Isn't Xiaomai Dugen's child?

But saying that was useless; in the mother-in-law's eyes, a girl was not a proper successor.

So, Wanbao came again that day.

The mother-in-law said that since they had already acknowledged their parents, it couldn't be changed.

As a result, the family parted on bad terms again.

Gu Youlian was still holding her anger in her heart.

Dugen was also worried. He had finally made up with his wife, but now she was ignoring him again.

After arriving at the dormitory, Du Gen complained to Gu Youlian, "Honey, my mom was talking nonsense. It wasn't me who said those things. I even argued with her. I'm on your side."

Gu Youlian sneered, "Really? What about your Wanbao? You didn't object when he called me 'Dad'!"

"It's just a kid, as long as we can save face. They're still relatives, after all. Besides, we're not short of money. Even if we brought in a son to raise, we could afford it. It would also give Xiaomai a companion!" Dugen said with a smile.

Gu Youlian snorted coldly, rummaged through her bundle, and pulled out a cloth bag. She opened it and found a savings book inside, containing the money she and Du Gen had saved over the past six months.

She showed him the amount, "Look, half of this is yours. Now we'll go to the bank and withdraw half, then I'll give it back to you. You can use your own money to raise your son! Don't take me with you! I don't need a son; all my money belongs to Xiaomai!"

Hearing her say that, Du Gen panicked again and quickly closed the bankbook, stuffing it into her arms. "How can you say that? Isn't mine yours too? We agreed to live a good life together, so don't talk about 'yours' and 'mine' like that. Alright, alright, we only have one daughter!"

Gu Youlian snorted, "Then starting next month, I'll give you my money, little by little, until it balances my savings."

Du Gen was both amused and exasperated. He stopped talking and hugged Gu Youlian to try and appease her.

Gu Youlian struggled angrily at first, but later she gave in to him. In any case, Du Gen was the person she chose herself. He had always treated her very well and listened to her. The two were very much in love.

Lin Qingping, however, went to the security office with her second sister.

I ran into Xiaoqin on the road. She seemed hesitant to speak.

Lin Qingping grabbed her, "Just say what you have to say. Why are you hiding from us?"

Xiaoqin said timidly, "Master, I feel that what your brother said wasn't good for you, and I'm afraid I'm meddling in other people's business..."

"What did he say?" She knew her brother's character all too well!

“He said…” Xiaoqin whispered, “If anyone dares to touch him, you’ll come back and settle accounts, saying you’ll leave this factory and leave everyone without food.”

Lin Qingping sneered. "You're quite shrewd, aren't you? You know how important she is to the garment factory, and then you try to manipulate her."

His brother was just like this in his past life!

She would sign bills wherever she went, always saying "My sister is like this and that." Later, her nephew also learned this trick—"My aunt is like this and that." They didn't even need names; they were simply referred to as Lin Qingping's younger brother and nephew. They would barge around and sign bills without a care. At the end of each month, a bunch of hotels, nightclubs, restaurants, shopping malls, and various leisure venues would come to settle their accounts. Every month, her credit card would be maxed out, and she would receive text messages from them to pay the bills.

But who's to blame?

It's her own fault!

Wasn't it her own indulgence that led to this?

Lin Jiagui sat in the security office, where the security staff treated him well, even though they were genuinely afraid of his threats.

This matter stumped even the factory manager.

If we don't do anything about it, how can we explain to the other employees that they are blatantly stealing designs from the factory and selling them?

Let's deal with it. I really don't dare to offend Master Lin's brother. If I anger Master Lin, the factory will still need her!

When Lin Qingping arrived at the security office, she could hear her brother roaring from outside the door, "What kind of food is this? I don't want it! I want meat! And chicken legs!"

Ha! You still complain about the food.

The head of security, who had accompanied Lin Qingping, was quite embarrassed. "The cafeteria didn't have stir-fried chicken today..."

Lin Qingping shook her head, indicating that everything was fine, "Don't worry about him."

The head of security was slightly relieved. The factory manager had repeatedly emphasized that security must be ensured, and that the sample garments must not be switched like last time!

The head of security knew the importance of this matter!

This concerns the welfare of all the factory's employees! We can't afford to be careless!

They patrolled with men every day, keeping watch both overtly and covertly, and as a result, they caught Master Lin's brother.

This guy confessed everything without any questioning, even admitting that he was the one who switched the sample garments last time, saying that Feng Debao gave him fifty yuan and instructed him to do it.

The factory manager was so angry he almost fainted.

You ruined your sister's design for just fifty yuan? She's your own sister!

But no matter how angry I am, I have to wait for Lin Qingping to come before I can resolve this matter.

When Lin Qingping returned, someone from the security department went to call the factory director.

Lin Jiagui's voice was still arrogant inside, "How could you treat me like this! When my sister comes back, I'll tell her and make sure your entire factory can't sell any clothes!"

How dare he!

Lin Qingping didn't understand at all.

Over the past year, she has completely ignored her family's demands and has become a completely different person. How dare her brother still be so presumptuous?

It's exactly the same as in my past life!

He came to the company and asked the finance department to withdraw money at will, but when they refused, he arrogantly said: "Wait until I tell my sister, and she'll fire you!"

She was so silly in her past life!

Pull him away from the finance department, subsidize him with your own money, and then properly appease the finance department...

Lin Qingping stood outside the door, reflecting on her foolish past actions. Unexpectedly, her second sister couldn't hold back any longer, pushed open the door, rushed in, and slapped Lin Jiagui across the face.

Lin Jiagui was stunned by the beating.

Lin Qingping was also stunned, because this younger sister was the most docile and hardworking. Otherwise, how could she have been so completely controlled by a marriage in her previous life, and eventually died young from an illness?

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Lin Jiagui covered his face and went berserk, shouting, "Second Sister? You hit me? How dare you hit me?"

"I'll hit you?" The second sister looked around angrily, searching for something to hit him with, and finally grabbed a broom and started smashing it over his head. "If I don't hit you, who will? I wish I could beat you to death! Are you even human? Why are you doing this to hurt our eldest sister? She's worked so hard to get this good life we ​​have now! Did you see her working all night making and altering clothes? She's working so hard, and you're just dragging her down! You're bringing shame to our family! Are you even human?"

Lin Qingping, the head of the security department, and the factory director who arrived later all stared in disbelief as Ermei chased after Lin Jiagui and beat him.

The head of security and the factory manager were unsure whether to offer advice, or how to do so.

Lin Qingping, however, did not intend to persuade him.

She was the one who should have given the beating, but she was happy to see her second sister get angry.

People should have some temper, otherwise, like in the previous life, the second sister was weak-willed, and even if she went to school in this life, she would still worry that her younger sister would be bullied.

It's a good thing that you can have a temper now.

Lin Jiagui was chased all over the house, and even ran to Lin Qingping, grabbing her and dodging her while shouting, "Big sister, big sister, look at second sister, big sister, save me!"

Lin Qingping recalled her childhood.

Lin Jiagui was spoiled by his mother and loved to cause trouble. He was also weak. When he lost a fight with the village children, he ran back crying and called for his older sister: "Big sister, they are bullying me, big sister, save me."

Having been taught from a young age to love and protect her younger brother, she would grab a shovel and rush out to fight for him, even if she herself got hurt, she would still protect him...

Thinking about it still hurts.

The past is too painful to recall...

"Alright, second sister, stop hitting him." She stopped her younger sister from chasing him with the broom.

Her brother thought his sister would stand up for him like she did when they were little, and he cried his eyes out, "Sister, you're still the best! Mom said you wouldn't take care of me anymore, but I don't believe it. You're still the best..."

Lin Qingping sneered inwardly.

Her brother was still sobbing, "Sister, you know how the factory workers bullied Mom while you weren't here? They locked me up and didn't give me any food! You have to teach them a lesson! Stop designing clothes for them! Make sure they can't sell their clothes!"
