"I don’t care what this man’s name is, the mere fact that he dared to file a complaint against you in front of me means I can’t employ him. Do you understand?" Lin Caisang interrupted Zhang Shunlai’s words, speaking directly.
Upon hearing her words, the grin on the young man’s face froze.
"But... Ma’am, why? I was just telling the truth. Zhang Deye really doesn’t know how to do anything, he’s just a laborer!"
It was him who had informed the boss about the canned pickle incident involving both Zhang Shunlai and his nephew Zhang Deye. He thought he would be the one to stay, to be taken under the boss’s wing and put in charge of the second floor.
Why was he now being driven out instead?
"You said it yourself, Zhang Deye was just a laborer before." Lin Caisang looked at him and gave an explanation.
"The mere fact that Zhang Shunlai was a manager in the tavern he once worked at, and his nephew was just a laborer there, should tell you that Zhang Shunlai has never shown favoritism towards Zhang Deye. He only wanted Zhang Deye to start learning from the bottom. If Zhang Shunlai really wanted to favor Zhang Deye, Zhang Deye wouldn’t have been just a laborer back then."
Hearing Lin Caisang’s words, the young man fell silent.
"Old Zhang, let him go. I don’t keep people around. Be careful in the future, if you bring such a person in, any little secret within my snack shop could end up being spread all over the streets."
Lin Caisang spoke to Zhang Shunlai.
"Yes, Miss." Zhang Shunlai responded.
He was negligent about this guy’s matter. He thought that since he came with his nephew, he sincerely wanted to work. He did feel sorry for him when hearing his grievance.
He never expected that this guy would actually stab him in the back right in front of him!
"I will make sure he leaves immediately, Deye, go get his stuff, now let him go."
Zhang Deye originally thought he was a friend, but after this occurrence, he didn’t care who he was, he just wanted him to disappear from his sight at once!
After Lin Caisang left, quite a few people from Lin Family came looking for her and none of them came empty-handed. What they brought either could be eaten or used.
Lu Qiubo turned them all away saying ’Sangsang isn’t here’, not even a bundle of vegetables was accepted.
"Old man, what’s going on here?"
Watching those people peering in and out of their yard, Lu Qiubo could not help but find their actions amusing.
What’s the point of bringing all these things over? They have so much land around Manghuang Mountain, does she lack even vegetables to eat? Not to mention the vegetables, even if they brought more precious gifts, they know for sure that their family wouldn’t accept them.
"Changhong has quite a few people coming to help with the harvest, though he turned all of them down. He’s clear that if he accepts their help now, he’ll have to oblige to their whims later."
"Isn’t that the truth."
Lin Laogeng also shook his head, but he was helpless. Those people insisted on coming, could he possibly shout at them from inside the house, telling everyone not to come?
Of course, this was impossible.
"Dad, Mom, I’m back." As he spoke, Yang Lin came in with a bamboo basket full of pigweed on his back.
At the sound, Lu Qiubo looked over and immediately frowned.
"Lin, didn’t we tell you not to carry heavy things? Why don’t you ever listen? Just leave these chores to girl Qing and Changyi. You just rest."
