Chapter 142 Another plot
The Su family has their own workshop, and they can hire anyone they want to work in the workshop. And anyone with a discerning eye can see that the people Old Man Su hired are indeed good at their jobs and are honest people, not the kind of people who would play tricks on others.
At this time, many people could only secretly lament that they had less contact with the Su family on a daily basis, so they were not selected.
In the future, I should have more interactions with the Su family and make more friends with them. If the Su family’s workshop recruits people again next time, I will definitely have a chance.
The person standing not far away and glaring fiercely at Xia Mei on the ox cart was none other than Li.
At this time, Li's heart was in turmoil, and she was even more dissatisfied with Xia Mei. She didn't expect that this little girl who had to live by her mood in the past would have such a good life now.
After marrying Su Mu, the Su family unexpectedly became prosperous.
Make food?
Li rolled her eyes and decided to find a way to figure out the food. Then, wouldn't she be able to go to the town and earn a lot of money?
Li said "Pah" at the backs of Su He and his companions as they drove away in the ox cart, then turned around and trotted back to the Xia family.
Su He pushed open the door of her own yard and found that there were quite a few people in her yard today. Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Luo were both there, and there were a few unfamiliar people who were picking sweet potatoes, and Aunt Rong was weighing them.
Thinking of what Old Man Su said yesterday, I thought that the people in the village must have picked the extra sweet potatoes from their homes to sell.
"Ah He."
"Aho is back!"
Su He rarely moved around in the village and didn't recognize many people, but the people in the village knew her.
Seeing Su He, they all greeted him. Su He curled the corners of his mouth, raised a smile, and nodded in response.
Although I can't call out his name, I still have to be polite to him as we are from the same village.
Su He drank a bowl of water and went next door to see how the wall was being built.
Now that she has the order, she is very anxious and can't wait to start work.
Old Man Su was setting up a shed with Su Dawu and Su Danian. When he heard Su He's words, he was very happy.
"We'll have it all built tomorrow if we work on it for another day, and we can start construction the day after tomorrow. By then, we can open a small door on the side of our yard so that we can come over easily in the future."
Moreover, in the past few days, they have made the harvested sweet potatoes into sweet potato flour in their own yard and dried it in the sun, which can be used to offset some of the losses when the time comes.
In order to catch up with the progress, Old Man Su and his colleagues worked in the workshop until dark before going home for dinner. They only wanted to build the shed as soon as possible so as not to delay the official start of work the next day.
Xia family.
Li returned to the Xia family in a hurry, and when she saw Xia Fugui, she started to complain, "How can you still sit there? Look at what your good daughter has done!"
When Xia Fugui heard Li mention Xia Mei's name, he didn't even raise his head and was still busy with his work.
Li would complain about Xia Mei every few days, and he was used to it. He just ignored her complaints.
It’s not that Xia Fugui loves his daughter so much. To him, Xia Mei is just a daughter who is married off and spilled like water. In his heart, he only cares for his precious son Xia Xiaobao like the apple of his eye.
"Did you hear what I said?"
Seeing Xia Fugui's fearless look, Li gritted her teeth.
He said angrily, "That damn girl Xia Mei is living a life of luxury in the Su family now, and she has completely forgotten about you, her biological father."
"You don't know, now the Su family has gone to the town to set up a stall to sell food and make a lot of money."
"I saw it all outside just now. Xia Mei, Su Mu and Su He, just came back from the town on a bullock cart."
Li now wishes that all the ox carts and food stalls of the Su family were hers. Why was Xia Mei so lucky? All these should be hers.
That little girl Xia Mei ignored her own father and brother after she got married, and she didn't even bother to bring back the good things to honor them.
Upon hearing what Li said, Xia Fugui paused and turned back with a puzzled look, "What did you say?"
Li took the opportunity to flatter Xia Fugui.
"Boss, although I am Mei Zi's stepmother, you are her biological father and Xiao Bao is her biological brother. There is a way to make money here, so Mei Zi should think of you anyway."
After a pause, he continued, "Although we had some unpleasantness with her before, you are still blood-related father and daughter, no matter what."
"Besides, when the Su family's workshop is hiring, they should have looked for you. Only family members can be trusted, right? The old Su family not only looked for outsiders, but also looked for that widow Yunrong."
The wages charged by the Su family workshop were no secret. After asking around a bit, Li naturally found out.
But now the Su family would rather find a widow than their own father-in-law. Isn't this looking down on their Xia family?
Upon hearing Li's words, Xia Fugui frowned. Although Xia Mei had signed a letter of severance of relationship with him, the blood relationship could not be severed anyway.
The Su family has become rich and looks down on the Xia family and Xia Fugui.
No, he definitely couldn't swallow this, and he had to give him an explanation no matter what.
Xia Fugui had long forgotten how Li treated Xia Mei and what his attitude was towards her. He just felt that the severance of the letter was just a sign of anger. Could Xia Mei really not recognize him as her biological father?
"Let's go to the Su family now. I want to ask Su Mu, he married my daughter, can he not recognize me as his father-in-law?"
After saying this, Xia Fugui stood up angrily and wanted to go to the Su family to ask for an explanation.
"Boss, wait a moment."
Li's eyes rolled, and she hurriedly grabbed Xia Fugui and persuaded him, "Wait a minute, we should wait until everyone else in the village is at Su's house tomorrow before going over. It's dark now, and we won't get any good results if we go over."
Li thought that there were many people in the village who were selling their extra sweet potatoes to the Su family. They would go to the Su family tomorrow when there were more people.
The Su family would certainly not be able to do anything in front of so many people. They are all from the same village, so they might really fall out.
As long as they recognize Xia Fugui tomorrow, the original letter of severance will be invalid.
Afterwards, she would say a few nice words to Xia Mei and find out more about the business of the stall in the town. Then, when the Xia family made a lot of money, they would no longer need to care about other people's faces.
Moreover, the Su family has opened a workshop, so Xia Fugui can work as a manager in the workshop in the future. He doesn't have to do heavy work and can earn more money than others. What a good thing.
After hearing what Li said, Xia Fugui calmed down a lot, and the energy he had just had dissipated a lot.
He has watched Su Mu grow up since he was a child. He has a simple and honest character, but Old Man Su and his two sons are not pushovers.
