Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 42 Her Mom Resigned

Li Xunli held Shen Yangyang's head in her hands and turned it around with satisfaction. After admiring her own craftsmanship, she sat down next to her and started tearing fried dough sticks and soaking them in soy milk. "It can't be helped. The kindergarten doesn't open that early, and the management at the factory isn't as strict as before."

"Why don't you learn to drive a motorcycle earlier? It can save some time." Shen Qingqing gulped down a piece of softened fried dough stick and squinted her eyes while eating.

"Where do I have the time to learn? I have to work during the day, make porcelain at night, and when I get home I have to do your laundry and clean the house. Do you want to chop your mother into pieces?" Li Xunli finished a bowl of soy milk and fried dough sticks in a few mouthfuls. "If you really want to learn, you have to wait until next year. Once I finish these two orders of porcelain, I'll have some free time."

Shen Qingqing took another vegetarian bun and ate it. "What if after these two orders of porcelain are completed, someone else comes to you to order porcelain? Wouldn't that just keep dragging it out like this?"

"How can it be such a good thing? These two orders of porcelain were made because they really couldn't find anyone who could make them, so they came to me, your mother. There are so many people in Chaocheng who can make porcelain, so who am I?" Li Xunli was amused by Shen Qingqing's assumption.

"I'm talking about what if? You can't even assume it? What if someone really keeps asking you to make porcelain?" Shen Qingqing pouted in dissatisfaction.

Li Xunli smiled and shook her head, continuing with her hypothesis: "If this is the only way to make money, I'll just listen to you and quit my job at the factory and focus on making porcelain at home, okay?"

Shen Qingqing stuffed the last bite of the bun into her mouth: "That's great! I'm going to school!"

Today is Tuesday, which is also the day that the math teacher said we would have an exam last week.

As soon as she entered the classroom, Shen Qingqing was caught by the math teacher and they arranged the desks and chairs in the classroom so that each student had a desk.

Unlike the Chinese teacher who takes convenience and directly asks two students sitting at the same table to sit in front and back, the math teacher lets everyone sit according to their seat number.

Shen Qingqing is No. 7, in the second row, and Chen Man is No. 19, a little far away from Shen Qingqing.

Chen Man walked into the classroom with her schoolbag on her back. When she was told about this, the corners of her upturned mouth shrank and she looked visibly wilted.

However, the results of this exam were worth the week she and Shen Qingqing spent together.

Shen Qingqing still scored 100 points, and Chen Man only made a mistake in a five-point application question, so she scored 95 points.

When Chen Man took the test paper home and reported the good news, Chen Yanfeng couldn't believe it.

After all, Chen Man always makes some confusing mistakes when doing math homework at home.

Chen Yanfeng took his daughter's test paper and looked through it. He found that the mistakes she always made in her previous homework did not appear on this test paper.

Chen Man received unanimous praise from the entire Chen family. The little girl raised her head proudly and said, "Qingqing said that everything she taught me on this test paper was correct. I am also very smart!"

Chen Yanfeng thought to himself that he had made the right friend. He would have to thank Shen Qingqing someday.

Time passed quickly day after day, and Shen Rongzhou finally found a rhythm of following the bus that suited him. He followed two buses every day and could go home for dinner at around eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

Although he looked visibly darker and thinner, he was in good spirits.

On Sunday afternoon, Shen Qingqing was awakened from her nap by the courier knocking on the door. "Is anyone there? Is Shen Rongzhou's house here?"

She communicated with the courier outside through the security door: "Hello, this is Shen Rongzhou's home."

"There's a delivery. Come, sign here." The courier stuffed a delivery bag with EMS printed on it and a pen from under the security door.

Shen Qingqing picked it up and looked at the shipping address, her eyes lit up. It was her father's driver's license!
After signing for it, Shen Qingqing called her father and told him the good news.

"Okay, okay, keep it for Dad. Dad can come home early tonight and bring you a roast chicken!" Shen Rongzhou was very happy. Shen Qingqing cheered loudly on the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yangyang ran out of the room and asked what happened.

After Shen Qingqing told her, the two sisters cheered together in the living room.

Just as they were happily waiting for the roast chicken to return, Shen Rongzhou came back with the roast chicken and Li Xunli with an angry face.

Shen Qingqing and Shen Yangyang, who was standing close to her, looked at each other in surprise.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Shen Qingqing took Shen Yangyang to sit next to her mother and asked cautiously.

Li Xunli turned her head away without saying anything.

Shen Qingqing understood that her mother didn't want to say it, so she turned to look at her father.

Shen Rongzhou took the roast chicken into the kitchen and prepared to cut it.

Shen Qingqing slipped over and asked her father in a low voice: "Dad, did you make Mom angry?"

Shen Rongzhou cut the roast chicken and glanced at her: "It has nothing to do with your father and me. It's your mother who got bullied at the factory."

"Ah? What made you angry?" Shen Qingqing whispered even more quietly.

Shen Rongzhou took the opportunity to say a few words to Shen Qingqing while cutting the roast chicken.

Because the goods from the neighboring production line have all been completed and loaded, and the final payment has been settled, it will be officially merged into Li Xunli's production line today.

Then there was a person on the next production line who was a relative of the boss, and he had a conflict with Li Xunli over the fabric issue.

Li Xunli has always been accustomed to cutting the fabric she will make the next day before leaving work and placing it next to her sewing machine so that she can start sewing the next day.

As a result, when she was about to get off work this afternoon, she found that the batch of fabrics she had sorted out had been taken away by the relative of her employer.

Li Xunli went to ask for it back, but the other party not only refused to acknowledge it, but also said that the fabric was in the factory and anyone could use it, and her name, Li Xunli, was not written on it.

Then the boss found out about this. Unexpectedly, the boss proved that it was Li Xunli who handled the fabric and scolded his relatives.

Li Xunli thought the matter was over, but it turned out that the boss was waiting for her behind. After seeing the fabrics handled by Li Xunli, he became hostile and said directly that when the goods were delivered last time, the consignee took several pieces of problematic clothes and took the opportunity to lower the price. He wanted to find out who it was, but he didn't expect it to be Li Xunli.

Li Xunli's salary for half a month was deducted on the spot. Several female colleagues who helped Li Xunli process the fabrics couldn't help but stand up to speak for Li Xunli, and as a result, they also had their wages deducted.

One day's salary had been deducted for no reason before, and everyone was already dissatisfied at that time.

Unexpectedly, it was even more excessive now. Li Xunli was disgusted to the core and resigned on the spot, taking a salary of less than 400 yuan and leaving.

Two of the female colleagues who spoke up for her also resigned along with her.

Shen Qingqing didn't expect that her mother would resign under such circumstances.

　See you tomorrow night~
