Chapter 88: Chapter 88 Even the Mute Could Curse in the Streets
Xu Sijin spread her hands, "I don’t know about that, I believe Qin Yang has his reasons, he’s not the kind who would break faith and abandon righteousness. Big Sister, please try to understand, everyone has a hard time getting by these days."
"It has nothing to do with my wife," Qin Yang assertively interrupted, "Manager Xu, I have no hidden troubles, I’ve fulfilled my promise and haven’t wronged anyone. Please watch your language, and as for your solution, I don’t agree with it."
Li Wei watched as things became more and more chaotic, stomping his feet in anxiety.
He caught a glimpse of Zhang Dawei who was still watching the commotion and with one raise of his leg gave him a kick, "Good for nothing and always spoiling things, look at the person you brought here."
Zhang Dawei blinked innocently, what did this have to do with him now?
At this moment, a languid voice came through, "Wow, quite lively here, I’m not interrupting, am I?"
The woman in the red coat, as fervent as the blazing sun.
Qin Yang saw the newcomer, his calm eyes suddenly lit up, "Lin Chuxia?!"
Lin Chuxia didn’t expect to see Qin Yang right at the entrance to the workplace, and it looked like he was in some trouble.
Then she looked at the mother and daughter opposite, cheering on, it seemed like a fair bit of trouble.
She scanned each person present one by one, walking over to Qin Yang with small, determined steps, lifting her chin, "Have the creditors come to collect a debt?"
Hearing this, the joy Qin Yang felt at seeing his wife vanished in an instant, and he didn’t know what to say out of embarrassment.
Old Lady Liu and Liu Xiaohua’s eyes nearly popped out when they saw Lin Chuxia.
Especially Liu Xiaohua, who had been drenched the day before, even her luggage got wet, intending to meet Qin Yang with dignity and dazzle him; instead, she ended up looking like a beggar.
Otherwise, maybe Brother Qin wouldn’t have rejected her.
Now looking at Lin Chuxia, in her attire, jealousy turned her eyes red.
Why can she afford to eat braised pork, pork buns, and wear such beautiful new clothes?
Xu Sijin narrowed her eyes at the newcomer, Qin Yang’s reaction to the woman didn’t escape her sight.
He had never called her by her name with that tone, and yet to say that this was his new bride, Xu Sijin was reluctant to believe it.
The girl in front of her was wearing a red coat, a delicate cashmere sweater beneath it, and the pants and leather shoes on her body...
Even she would have to spend several months’ salary for such attire.
And look at the girl’s fair skin, her delicate and pretty features, even her glance was filled with confidence and boldness.
Qin Yang’s wife was supposed to be a rural woman.
"It’s you," finally, Old Lady Liu broke the brief silence, "No wonder the Qin Family kid stopped sending us money, turns out he married such a wasteful woman like you, squandering all the money. It’s good that you’re here, give us the money, or we’ll take your clothes as repayment for the debt."
Liu Xiaohua’s eyes lit up, "Right, repay the debt with your clothes."
The words of the two made Qin Yang’s expression turn cold immediately.
He pulled Lin Chuxia behind him, his handsome face grew chilling, his voice turning harsh, "I’ve said, this has nothing to do with my wife. Moreover, Liu Tao’s death has already been compensated by the work unit, and if you think the compensation is too little, you can go directly to the leaders, or to court. Liu Tao modified the drawings privately, causing significant loss to the project, the fact that the work unit didn’t ask for compensation and provided humanitarian aid is the extent of our benevolence. As for me, had you not held onto Liu Tao’s ashes and prevented me from leaving, why would I have agreed to your unreasonable demands? Even so, I kept my promise, and now that the promise is fulfilled, I don’t owe any of you anything."
He then addressed Xu Sijin, "Manager Xu, these two people should be dealt with by the union, and I truly cannot agree with your method of resolution, I also doubt your competency in handling this matter. I will report today’s event to the union."
No one expected Qin Yang to say so much all at once, this was more than they had heard from Mr. Qin in a year besides work matters.
Li Wei couldn’t help but click his tongue, "It must be the power of love," even a mute can scold on the streets when his wife is slandered?
Zhang Dawei was still staring at Lin Chuxia, "Mrs. Qin sure is pretty."
Li Wei turned his head and saw Zhang Dawei’s gaze, raising his hand to flick him on the forehead, "Is Mrs. Qin someone you can look at like that? Be careful with your eyes."
Xu Sijin felt like she was tottering, whether it was the appearance of Lin Chuxia or the attitude of Qin Yang, it really hit her hard.
With a hint of grievance, she lowered her gaze, "I’m sorry, Mr. Qin, I just wanted to help you, I didn’t expect..."
She gave a bitter smile, then turned to Old Lady Liu and said, "Since Mr. Qin has said it’s got nothing to do with his wife, then it has nothing to do with her. Old Lady, what do you think about this, I’ll give you 20 yuan first to help out with the emergency."
Old Lady Liu had also realized by now that Qin Yang was not so easy to manipulate, initially counting on the fact they were in their village and he was an outsider with no other choice.
Now that they were on their turf, there was no way they could get the better of them.
She was also clear about her son’s situation, otherwise, she wouldn’t have refused to find a leader.
As for her daughter’s marriage...
That woman was not easy to provoke; they couldn’t afford to mess with her.
Hearing Xu Sijin say this, Old Lady Liu asked, "Will you give us 20 yuan every month?" Originally, Qin Yang gave them 20 yuan monthly, which was enough for the mother and daughter to spend.
Xu Sijin’s face stiffened: "...Old Lady, my salary is only a bit over thirty."
"Miss, I know you’re not like them, you’re clearly a kind-hearted person..."
Lin Chuxia was already being pulled by Qin Yang towards the residential area of the unit, with the conversation between Old Lady Liu and Xu Sijin happening behind her.
She turned to glance back at Xu Sijin, a hint of mockery flashing through her eyes.
Trying to be a good person without seeing what kind of character the other person is, tangled up by Old Lady Liu and her daughter, it would probably be hard to get free.
But that woman wanted to step over Qin Yang to be a good person; she didn’t sympathize with her one bit.
Her suitcase was taken over by the man. Looking up, she saw him looking at her with a smile in his eyes, completely different from the cold and grim reaper-like demeanor he had earlier.
She was about to say something when a voice came, "Mr. Qin, sister-in-law..."
Zhang Dawei greeted them with a silly grin on his face.
Li Wei also nodded towards the two.
"Is this your colleague?"
Qin Yang nodded and introduced the two men to her, "This is Li Wei, and this is Zhang Dawei. Li Wei is older than me."
Lin Chuxia greeted them graciously, "Brother Li, Da Wei, hello. I’m Lin Chuxia, Qin Yang’s wife."
"Long heard that Qin Yang married a beautiful and capable wife," Li Wei said as soon as he saw Lin Chuxia, understanding why the ice could melt.
After all, as men, who could hold up against such a woman?
"Sister-in-law, welcome to our unit."
Hearing their familiar tone, she knew these were colleagues Qin Yang was close with.
Lin Chuxia exchanged a few pleasantries with them, and Li Wei tactfully took Zhang Dawei away.
Qin Yang then looked at her with a smile and asked, "Why didn’t you let me know in advance that you were coming, so I could go to the train station to pick you up?"
