Chapter 209

209 Causing Trouble

Getting the order from City Z this time meant that a new round of recruitment was about to begin. After the revenue increased, Yu Bing prepared to start separating the money. In addition to recruiting ordinary workers, she also planned to recruit a cashier.

Five o’clock in the afternoon.

After Yu Bing, Zhao Lin, and Mr. Wei arrived at the small mountain village, they asked the villagers for directions along the way and found the Sun family.

When they arrived at the Sun family’s house, they realized that the door was locked. When they saw an old lady staggering out of the courtyard next door, the three of them went forward and asked, “Hello, have the Sun family gone to work in the fields?”

!!

The old lady glanced at them and realized that they were unfamiliar faces, so she asked warily, “Who are you guys?”

Zhao Lin recognized at a glance that this was her brother-in-law’s mother’s aunt, Madam Zhou. She had happened to meet her last year, so she took a step forward.

Fortunately, Madam Zhou was old but not muddle-headed. She immediately remembered. “Oh! I remember now. You’re the sister of my niece’s daughter-in-law. The Sun family went out to work. Why are you looking for them?”

Zhao Lin explained, “They suddenly stopped coming without even saying goodbye. We’re a little worried.”

Madam Zhou lamented, “Wen Qin is locked up at home. I originally thought that her hardships would be over, but the Sun family insisted on giving her trouble!”

Yu Bing was shocked. “Why did they lock her up?”

Madam Zhou wasn’t in a position to say too much, so she only advised them, “Don’t waste your efforts. The Sun family won’t let her work again.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a little boy ran to the Sun family’s home with two roasted sweet potatoes and shouted, “Mom, I found two sweet potatoes for you. Take them.”

Seeing this, Yu Bing hurriedly asked, “Little kid, is your mother Wen Qin?”

Xiao Hui’s eyes lit up when he saw them. “Are you the leaders of my mother’s factory? Are you here to save her?”

Hearing this, Yu Bing and the others looked at each other. They knew that it definitely wouldn’t be easy to get Wen Qin to go back to work.

However, no matter what, restricting one’s personal freedom was prohibited by the law. Zhao Lin was a feminist, so she naturally couldn’t sit back and do nothing. Hence, she went forward and smiled at Xiao Hui. “Little kid, call your father and grandmother back.”

Xiao Hui stuffed the sweet potatos into Zhao Lin’s hand and said excitedly, “Please help me throw these to my mother. She didn’t eat anything today. She’ll starve my little brother who’s in her stomach. I’ll go get someone!”

At this moment, Wen Qin also realized that the factory’s leaders had come to her house. She asked, “Are they Miss Yu and Mr. Zhao?”

Yu Bing raised her voice and replied, “It’s me. We came to see you. Are you okay now? Can you catch the sweet potatos?”

Wen Qin hurriedly shouted, “Don’t throw it! I can’t catch it. Don’t smash the sweet potatoes again.”

Yu Bing could tell that Wen Qin sounded weak, so she didn’t speak to her anymore. Everyone outside the door could only silently wait for the Sun family to return.

More than ten minutes later, Madam Sun and Sun Guo appeared.

Madam Sun quickly glanced at Yu Bing and the others. Her gaze lingered on Mr. Wei for a few seconds before she said coldly, “You guys can go back. Wen Qin isn’t going to work anymore.”

Yu Bing saw the wariness in Madam Sun’s eyes and said solemnly, “I’m the factory director of the food factory. Even if Wen Qin doesn’t want to go anymore, Wen Qin has to reply to me in person. When I hired her back then, we made an agreement. How can she suddenly go back on her words?!”

Madam Sun had no intention of opening the door at all. She said unreasonably, “So what if she doesn’t go?! Do you think you can force her?”

Madam Sun was the best at falsely accusing people. She was always causing trouble in the village. Anyone she hated would be slandered by her. Therefore, many people refrained from provoking her.

Yu Bing wasn’t afraid. She only said calmly, “Wen Qin applied voluntarily. There wasn’t any coercion involved. Now, Wen Qin’s sudden absence from work has caused a great loss to our factory! We came to her to ask for an explanation.”

When Madam Sun heard this, she panicked a little. She couldn’t tell if Yu Bing was telling the truth or not. She pointed at Yu Bing and emboldened herself as she said, “She’s only been working for more than ten days. What damage can she cause to the factory? Don’t try to extort us!”

Yu Bing smiled coldly and said, “If you don’t believe me, you can open the door and let me confront Wen Qin.”
