Chapter 215: The Jiang Family

Translator: Lonelytree

After the matter was settled and they returned to the Taoyuan Village, Xiao Chengbang and his family were very grateful to Xiao Lingyu.

They knew very well that if Xiao Lingyu weren’t involved in this matter, they would have been more likely to be on the receiving end of the revenge.

As Gu Qingjiao said, she had connections. Xiao Chengbang and his wife couldn’t touch her.

Xiao Xinxin worked at the supermarket without signing a contract. They were not as well-versed in the law as Xiao Lingyu was. The black-hearted boss would take advantage of them.

Auntie Zhou caught a few old hens and filled a basket of eggs. The whole family came over to thank Xiao Lingyu, “Lingyu, we have to thank you for helping Xinxin. You got her salary back and even made her bosses pay the price!”

Xiao Lingyu smiled, “Auntie Zhou, you’re too kind. I see Xinxin as my little sister. I can’t sit there and watch her getting taken advantage of.”

Auntie Zhou said, “Regardless, our family still has to thank you.” Even though the young man said, he was only joking, who knew what would have happened if Xiao Lingye didn’t come on time. If Xiao Xinxin’s reputation was ruined, what would they do?

Xiao Chengbang praised, “Lingyu, you and your brother are amazing. You do things in a methodical way, with courage and strategy.

“If you didn’t prepare that recording pen from the beginning, and if Lingye didn’t lure the black-hearted lady into saying those words, we wouldn’t get the evidence.

“With Section Chief Qin, they might be able to turn everything on us!”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “Uncle Cheng, you’re wrong. With Grandpa Zeng there, they won’t be able to distort the truth. Besides, the crowd has sharp eyes. They know who is right.

“But, we’re indeed lucky to run into Uncle Zeng. He has helped us save a lot of trouble.”

Lei Zhenhu was very cunning. He could lie through his teeth. With Qin Fufa’s support, they could really suppress the truth.

Hearing this, Xiao Chengbang nodded and said, “We really should thank Grandpa Zeng. Otherwise, the evidence wouldn’t reach the director so smoothly.”

If Grandpa Zeng lived in the country, they would go over to thank him in person. However, he lived in the county town, and his son was a high-ranking official. Xiao Chengbang was afraid that they would look down on them.

He would have his wife catch a few good hens and get Xiao Lingyu to pass the hens to them. The county people got their chickens from the farm. But the chickens there were raised on the regular feed. They couldn’t compare to wild chickens raised in the mountains.

…

When Mother Xiao and Liu Chunhua heard the whole process, they were shocked. The madam boss ran a big supermarket, so she should be smart. Why did she fall for the trap so easily?

Liu Chunhua laughed. “Second sister, the lady was too arrogant, and that was her downfall!”

Mother Xiao sighed, “They think people from the countryside can’t do anything to them, so they boasted shamelessly to the crowd about their connections. It made it sound like they own all the government agencies.”

Xiao Mingyang nodded. “That’s right. If the lady were not that arrogant and didn’t reveal anything to us, we wouldn’t get her weakness so easily. However.” He looked at Xiao Lingyu and smiled, “She is clearly no match for our female genius. No matter how cunning they are, they can’t outsmart Yu ‘Er.”

Xiao Lingyu chuckled and shook her head. “Fourth Uncle, you’ve placed a huge hat for me. Everyone has worked hard. It’s not just me!”

“But you’re the mastermind behind everything!” The others countered, “If you didn’t come up with the plan and manage to argue with them, we would be in a worse state.”

Xiao Xinxin’s eyes sparkled as she said in admiration, “Sister Lingyu, you’re really amazing.”

Auntie Zhou placed her hand on her head and knocked it, “In the past, I told you to study hard, but you kept complaining. You always slept in class. I can’t even tell you how many times the teacher came to look for me. Look at your Sister Lingyu. With just a few words, she made that arrogant, black-hearted lady boss speechless.”

Xiao Xinxin rubbed her head and said somewhat helplessly, “Mom, you can’t blame me for this. You know how much I admire sister Ling Yu. I also want to study hard. But when I opened the book, I wanted to sleep. I couldn’t control myself.” At this point, her big eyes rolled around, and then she said, “Mom, I must have inherited that. Dad, Mom, which of you doesn’t like to read?”

Auntie Zhou’s face turned red. “How can you blame that on your dad and me?”

But internally, she muttered, ‘Could this really be hereditary?’ She remembered the times when she was attending classes. Once the teacher started lecturing, her eyes would close.

Xiao Chengbang immediately denied it. “You definitely didn’t get it from me. When I was young, I had the best results.”

Xiao Xinxin and Auntie Zhou looked at Xiao Chengbang suspiciously. They didn’t believe him.

Xiao Chengbang felt embarrassed when his wife and daughter looked at him like that. He immediately said, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask Zhengyang and Mingyang. They know.”

Xiao Mingyang nodded seriously and said, “That’s right. Chengbang’s grades were indeed the best. I remember one time, the teacher gave us a math question. The family has one duck, and the father brought back another duck, so how many ducks the family has? Everyone said two, but Chengbang was the only one who said three. The teacher said he was wrong, but Chengbang said he’d prove that he was right.”

This was the first time Xiao Xinxin heard about her father’s dark history. She laughed, “Haha. Dad, your grades were so bad in the past. But you kept on boasting to us that you were so good at studying!” Then she back to Xiao Mingyang, “Uncle Mingyang, did my dad really prove it?” She couldn’t figure out how her father would do that.

Xiao Mingyang smiled. “Why don’t you ask your dad?”

“Dad…” Xiao Xinxin turned to her dad curiously.

Xiao Chengbang coughed with embarrassment. “Your grandfather raised ducks in the past, so I brought a hatched duckling to school to show the teacher.”

“Ah?” The juniors were shocked.

“Fine, your dad is not good at his studies,” Xiao Chengbang said with a slight blush, “Because of that, I know the importance of studies. That’s why I have you two study hard. But you two aren’t good at studying either.”

Xiao Xinxin refuted, “Dad, we inherited that from you and mom! But…” At this point, she paused for a moment and said with determination, “I’ll definitely read more in the future. Even if I can’t go to university, I’ll read more and master some knowledge. That way, I won’t be cheated anymore.”

If she had known that she had to sign a labor contract law with the employer when she went to look for a job, she wouldn’t have been cheated so badly. This incident had opened her eyes to the importance of culture and knowledge.

“It’s good that Xinxin has this determination. Reading is always good.” Xiao Lingyu smiled at Xiao Chengbang and Auntie Zhou. “Uncle Chengbang, Auntie Zhou, everyone has their own path in life. Not everyone has to achieve success through studies. Perhaps Xinxin can be successful in other areas.”

“Yes,” Xiao Xinxin clenched her fists and said firmly, “I’m still young now. There are still many things that I need to master and learn. I’ll definitely work hard in the future and try my best to keep up with Sister Lingyu’s footsteps.”

“Good, it’s good that you can think like that!” Xiao Chengbang and his wife nodded. ‘Our girl is all grown-up now.”

“Xinxin, do you want to go to my shop to work tomorrow, or do you want to rest for a few days before going?” Xiao Lingyu asked.

Xiao Xinxin said decisively, “I can start tomorrow. Let bygones be bygones.”

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Okay. From tomorrow on, you’ll work with my fourth aunt first. After I draft the contract, we’ll sign it.”

“Sister Lingyu, we are so familiar with each other. There’s no need to sign a labor contract!” Xiao Xinxin said nonchalantly, “I don’t think you’d cheat me like my former boss.”

Xiao Lingyu,”…” The child hasn’t learned her lesson. Then again, perhaps I should thank her trust.

“Ouch. Dad, why did you hit my head?” Xiao Xinxin hugged her head and groaned.

Xiao Chengbang said, “Lingyu definitely won’t treat you as harshly as that black-hearted boss, but can you guarantee that you’ll be a good employee? What if you slack off? We have to protect Lingyu’s interest too.”

Xiao Xinxin pouted and said, “Dad, how can you criticize your own daughter like that?”

“I’m just telling the truth!” Xiao Chengbang rebuked her. Then, he looked at Xiao Lingyu and said, “Lingyu, do what you have to do. Don’t treat Xinxin differently because you’re her friend. If she doesn’t work hard, you can scold and hit her when you have to!”

Xiao Lingyu, “…” Do I look like someone who’d beat my employees?

Xiao Xinxin, “…” Am I his biological daughter? Why he’d encourage others to hit me?

Then, they talked a bit about Xiao Xinxin’s work details.

After Xiao Chengbang and his family returned home, Xiao Chengbang and Auntie Zhou said seriously, “Xinxin, when you go to work in Lingyu’s shop, you have to work hard and not slack off. Do you understand?”

Xiao Xinxin nodded and said, “Of course! I will definitely work hard.”

“Good,” Xiao Chengbang said. “With Lingyu and Zhengyang’s character, as long as you work hard, they will definitely not mistreat you.”

“I know!” Xiao Xinxin said, “Actually when the other villagers found out Sister Lingyu had offered me this job, they were so envious. So many people want my job, I will not surrender it so easily!”

“Good!” The couple nodded.

“Alright, you have to work early tomorrow, so you should go to bed now. Lingyu’s family wakes up at 3 or 4 am to pick the vegetables in the field. Even though you don’t need to do that, you still need to wake up early. Mingyang’s truck will leave around 5 or 6 am.”

“Okay. Don’t worry, Mom and Dad. I’ll get up early tomorrow!” Xiao Xinxin then went to her room to sleep.

The couple chatted for a while.

“This time, Xinxin suffered such a huge loss. I wonder if she had learned her lesson.”

“I think so. Our daughter isn’t that stupid, right?”

“This time, we really need to thank Lingyu and Lingye. We only have one daughter. What if something happens to her?”

“That’s right. If it wasn’t for their help, we really don’t know what would have happened to Xinxin. We owe Zhengyang and his family a huge favor.”

“We must remember this favor. We can’t be an ungrateful person.”

“I know it even if you don’t tell me!”

The husband and wife then retired to sleep.

…

Inside Jiang Tao’s apartment in Beijing, Jiang Tao’s face was dark when he got the report. After a moment, he put down the documents and looked at the ceiling. He said somewhat helplessly, “So it’s the Qin family…”

At this moment, his phone rang.

He picked up the phone and looked at the display. He couldn’t help but frown!

“Grandpa!” He answered the phone and called out respectfully.

An old but authoritative voice came from the phone, “You’ve been back to Beijing for a few days. Why didn’t you come home immediately?”

“Grandpa, I…” Jiang Tao wanted to explain.

“I don’t want to hear your explanation!” The person on the other side said sternly, “Come home immediately!”

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Tao smiled bitterly.

To him, the place was not a home but a birdcage.
