Chapter 211: Background

Translator: Lonelytree

People were surprised that the South University graduate was so good at scolding people. This whole family was truly rotten and dirty!

When Gu Qingjiao heard this, she was furious. She pointed at Xiao Lingyu and shouted, “You bitch, who are you calling rotten and dirty? Do you dare to say that again?” No one had ever dared to scold her so harshly before.

Xiao Lingyu said calmly, “I can’t help it if you think I’m talking about you.”

“Why you…” Gu Qingjiao was so angry that her face turned green. She suddenly shouted at San ‘Er, “San ‘Er, teach her a lesson!”

“Who dares touch my sister?!” Xiao Lingye, Xiao Chengbang, and the others shielded Xiao Lingyu.

“Gu Qingjiao, this lady is pregnant. You ask people to hit her? Do you still have any humanity?” Grandpa Zeng asked angrily. Then, he looked at San ‘Er and the others. He warned them sternly, “I will never let you hurt a pregnant woman!”

Although San ‘Er and the others were hooligans, they were not so heartless as to really harm a pregnant woman. After all, this was too big of a risk. However, if they didn’t do something, they would lose face in front of the public.

San ‘Er said fiercely, “Hmph, so what if she’s pregnant? Since she dares to insult my big brother and sister-in-law, she’ll have to be taught a lesson.”

Then, he walked in front of Xiao Lingyu and reached out to push her. Xiao Lingye immediately moved to block him. The people around quickly moved to protect Xiao Lingyu.

“What are you doing!”

“You monster!”

Then, there were several loud thumps.

One was Xiao Lingye hitting San ‘Er with the wooden stick. The other was the thump when San ‘Er hit the ground. The person who attacked him was Grandpa Zeng. Grandpa Zeng pulled his foot back.

When San ‘Er was coming over, Grandpa Zeng already aimed his leg at the man’s waist. San ‘Er toppled over. At that moment, Xiao Lingye smacked him on his shoulder. Attacked on both fronts, San ‘Er fell to the ground.

Grandpa Zeng said disdainfully, “Do you think you can harm someone when I’m around? You need to be taught a lesson first!”

“Big Brother!” Zhang San’s brothers immediately came forward to help him up. “Big Brother, how are you?”

After Zhao Si helped Zhang San up, he growled fiercely at Grandpa Zeng, “Old man, how dare you bully my big brothers? I’m going to kill you!” He charged at the old man.

Xiao Lingyu was nervous, and she told Xiao Lingye and Xiao Chengbang, “Brother, Uncle, you need to protect Grandpa!”

Grandpa Zeng stopped them. “No need. Young man, look after your sister. These hooligans are no threat to me. I haven’t exercised for a long time already. This is the perfect chance to work my muscles.”

The crowd knew Grandpa Zeng would win. Just now, he moved even quicker than the young man.

Zhao Si was furious. He shouted, “Time to die, old man!” At that moment, Chief Qin arrived. Zhang San immediately stopped Zhao Si.

Since Chief Qin was there, it was better if they solved this through words and not punches. After all, they shouldn’t implicate themselves too much.

Division Chief Qin was a little short and bald. He was full of fat, and his belly was round. As soon as Qin Fufa came over, he put on the airs of an official and said, “Who is causing trouble here?”

Lei Zhenhu immediately came over with a face full of smiles to welcome him. He lowered his head and bowed as he said, “Division Chief Qin, you’re finally here.”

Then, he acted like a victim and said, “Chief Qin, you have to stand up for me. This is all the fault of my former employee, Xiao Xinxin. She didn’t do good work. During the probation period, she often made mistakes. Her bad attitude scared away many of my customers.

“I wanted to fire her, but she knelt and begged us. She said she needed to job to support her family. She couldn’t find a job at another place. She sniveled and wept and begged us to keep her.

“She promised that we could deduct her wages freely if she made another mistake.

“My wife and I pitied her, so we gave her many chances. However, she didn’t improve. Like how she had promised, we had no choice but to deduct her wages when she made a mistake. She worked for us for another few months.

“Last month, she suddenly told us she wanted to resign. How can she do that without warning? Where would I find a replacement so soon? So we asked her to stay for another month, to give us time to find a new employee. Then, we’ll pay her all the owed salary.

“However, we just paid her yesterday, and today she’s already here with her family to create problems for us.

“She said we had unfairly deducted her wages. She has a sister who has graduated from South University. Apparently, the sister knows the laws. She said since we haven’t signed a labor contract, based on the labor law, we have to compensate the girl twice her wages.

“Division Chief Qin, this is nonsense. We wanted to sign a labor contract with the girl when we hired her. But she refused to sign it! She said she was afraid of being cheated.

“But now, she claimed we were the ones who didn’t offer her a contract and demand we pay her compensation!

“Division Chief Qin, you have to help us!”

Lei Zhenhu’s expression was very aggrieved and innocent. He was close to tears.

Xiao Xinxin was furious when she heard her former boss had turned everything upside down. Lei Zhenhu also added many untrue details. She pointed at Lei Zhenhu and shouted angrily, “You’re talking nonsense. You… You bastard, that’s clearly not how it happened!”

“Then, what happened?” Lei Zhenhu retorted, “Everything you say has to be the truth? Do you have evidence?”

Lei Zhenhu was clearly cleverer than his wife. He twisted everything so beautifully. If people didn’t know the truth, they would have believed him.

Plus, his question was sharp, “Do you have evidence?”

Both parties had their own version of the story, but who had the evidence? There were witnesses if the other supermarket employees would stand up for Xiao Xinxin. However, it was clear that Lei Zhenhu had made sure that wouldn’t happen.

Earlier, their plan was to insist that Xiao Xinxin was not their employee, but the wife was scammed and accidentally let that slip. So now, their plan was to belittle Xiao Xinxin and make themselves into kind individuals who took Xiao Xinxin in.

They would insist that it was Xiao Xinxin who refused to sign the contract!

After Division Chief Qin heard Lei Zhenhu’s narration, he nodded with a solemn face. Then, he said righteously, impartially, and sternly, “Boss Lei, don’t worry. I’ll definitely help you. You’re the victim in this case, after all.”

After saying that, Division Chief Qin looked at Xiao Xinxin and reprimanded her with a serious face, “Girl, you’re so young, yet you’re already full of lies, ungratefulness, and greed. How did your parents ever raise a wicked child like you?”

Xiao Xinxin said with a face full of anger and grievance, “I’m not lying! The one who’s lying is Lei Zhenhu! Why can’t you see that?” Xiao Xinxin came from the countryside. She had an innate fear around an official. However, she mustered up her courage to confront this official.

Division Chief Qin’s face darkened when Xiao Xinxin rebuked, “I can see that you’ve not learned your lesson. I know Boss Lei and his wife. They are famous for being kind businessmen. They don’t cheat the elderly and never rip off customers.”

It was clear that he was in cahoots with Lei Zhenhu.

“Besides, you were the one who didn’t want to sign the labor contract, and now you’re here to ask for double the salary. Don’t you think you’re being too obvious? Boss Lei and his wife are honest people, so you think you can blackmail them into giving you more money?

“You were the one who didn’t want to sign the labor contract in the beginning, and now you’re using this as an excuse for blackmail. This is entrapment. Boss Lei and his wife don’t owe you anything!”

As a staff member of the Labor Bureau, he definitely understood the labor contract law. He knew that Xiao Lingyu’s understanding of the law was right. Xiao Xinxin was entitled to double the salary as compensation.

Of course, that was when the employer purposely didn’t sign the contract with the employees. Therefore, now all they needed to do was to pin the blame on Xiao Xinxin and insist that it was she who refused to sign the labor contract.

Grandpa Zeng was about to explode when he heard this.

He rolled up his sleeves and pointed at Qin Fufa angrily, “Is this how you work for the people? You came and blamed the girl without doing any investigation. It’s evident that you are in cahoots with the black-hearted boss of this De Wang Supermarket.”

“Old man, what are you talking about?” Zhao Si scolded, “Division Chief Qin is the fairest person I know.”

Grandpa Zeng said disdainfully, “Of course, you’d say that. He’s fair towards you. Only the blind will think he’s fair.”

Qin Fufa’s face darkened, and he said sternly, “Old Man, I won’t argue with you since you are old. But if you continue to slander me, I won’t be polite to you.”

Grandpa Zeng rolled up his sleeves and said, “Do you think I’m afraid of you? Like the female boss and these others, you want to teach me a lesson too? Come on. I’m not afraid of you. Come at me at once if you dare!”

Qin Fufa was so angry that he wanted to slap the old man. However, he couldn’t do that in public. He had to endure it.

After this was over, he had many chances to teach this old man a lesson. ‘Old man, you’re unlucky to have offended me.’

Qin Fufa gloomily stared at Grandpa Zeng and did not say anything else. He turned Xiao Xinxin and said, “Little girl, Boss Lei won’t take charges against you. In fact, he’ll give you another 500 RMB as a goodwill donation to you. You should take it and leave. Or else, Boss Lei has all the right to report you to the Labor Bureau for blackmail.”

Then, he signaled Lei Zhenhu with a look.

Lei Zhenhu understood immediately. He took out five hundred from his wallet and handed it to Xiao Xinxin. He said proudly, “Hmph, take the money and leave now.”

Just as Xiao Lingyu was about to speak, a panting voice called out, “Dad, I’m here. What’s the matter? Why did you call me in such a hurry?”

“Chief Zeng!”
