The noise between the two immediately attracted Xiao Changkun's attention.
He looked at his mother and was speechless in surprise.
After a while, he asked Ye Chen: "Good son-in-law, that...is that my mother? I can't be mistaken, right?"
Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Dad, you read that right, it is indeed her old man."
Xiao Changkun exclaimed: "She...why is she wearing a staff vest?! Did she come here to work?"
Ye Chen nodded: "It seems like this."
Xiao Changkun said in surprise: "This is wrong. Didn't Wu Donghai inject capital into the Xiao family? He also bought them a Tomson first-grade villa. Logically speaking, their family should be living a very comfortable life now!"
Xiao Changkun didn't know what happened in the past two days. He didn't even know that Ma Lan was kidnapped by his eldest brother and nephew. He didn't even know that Wu Donghai had given up a considerable part of his family assets and became Hong Wu's subordinate.
a dog.
Therefore, it is natural that I don't know how the situation of Mrs. Xiao's family has taken a turn for the worse in the past two days.
Ye Chen said at this time: "I heard that Wu Donghai seems to have withdrawn his capital."
"Withdrawn capital?" Xiao Changkun exclaimed and said: "This Wu Donghai is too unreliable. He will withdraw capital when he says he will withdraw capital? Then why did he withdraw capital? I believe that with his assets, he does not care about those who invested in Xiao Group.
Would you like some money?"
Ye Chen shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "We don't know about this."
Just as he was talking, Zhang Guifen poked the old lady's ankle with the mop a few more times, and said disgustedly: "You bad old lady, get out of the way, you always interfere with me mopping the floor!"
Old Mrs. Xiao swallowed even more: "Guifen, the job assigned to me by the supermarket leader is to help customers pull plastic bags here. If I don't do it well, I will be fired. I beg you, don't get into trouble with me.
OK?"
Zhang Guifen snorted coldly: "I respect you very much, but you should know what you have done. This is called bringing it upon yourself!"
After saying that, Zhang Guifen sneered a few times and gritted her teeth and said: "I'm telling you, damn old woman, you may not think of me as an old rural woman with little education, but I am a very hard-boned person! And I especially don't like other people.
Look down on me! Even if you hit me, it doesn’t matter, but you shouldn’t insult me!”
After saying that, she put away the mop, and when she passed by Mrs. Xiao, she deliberately bumped into her, knocking Mrs. Xiao into the shelf next to her, causing her to grin in pain.
However, after Zhang Guifen bumped into her, she stopped pestering her and took the mop to mop the floor elsewhere.
Mrs. Xiao stood there, feeling aggrieved the more she thought about it.
She thought sadly and angrily in her heart: "I have lived in the Xiao family for so many years, when did I ever get bullied like this?! It's really unreasonable!"
"What's even more unacceptable is that now that I'm old, I still have to work in such a temporary job without dignity!"
"In all these years in the Xiao family, I have never even washed a tea cup myself! Now, I have to pull plastic bags for various customers in the supermarket to save their time!"
"But if I don't do it, what other options can I have?"
"If I don't do it, I won't even have a chance to fill my stomach..."
"I work as a temporary worker here, and at least I get paid 100 yuan a day, and I can also take care of a meal at noon..."
"If I don't do it, neither Qian Hongyan nor Zhang Guifen will be able to give me a bite to eat..."
"Wouldn't it be possible to starve to death by then?"
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xiao felt extremely aggrieved and stood alone by the shelf, sobbing.
Seeing this, Xiao Changkun felt a little unbearable and said to Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, I think your grandma is really pitiful. She will definitely not come to work in a place like this unless she has to..."
.”
Ye Chen asked him: "Dad, do you have any plans?"
Ye Chen didn't know what Xiao Changkun was feeling at this time, but seeing that he couldn't bear it, he thought he might want to help the old lady.
At this time, Xiao Changkun let out a long sigh and said, "Seeing my own mother living such a life and doing such a job with my own eyes, as a son, it must be very painful for me, and it's hard to just sit back and watch."
Speaking of this, Xiao Changkun suddenly changed the subject, covered his eyes, and said: "But, I didn't see anything! It was all an illusion just now!"
After saying that, he quickly turned around and said to Ye Chen: "Good son-in-law, let's buy some fish, shrimp, meat and eggs first. As for vegetables, let's buy them in another supermarket, what do you think?"
How could Ye Chen not know what he meant, and immediately said with a smile: "Yes, Dad, I have the same opinion as you. The food in this supermarket is indeed not very fresh. Let's go to the vegetable market to buy it later. Let's take a look first.
Check to see if there are any larger Boston lobsters, and if so, buy a few to take home!”
Xiao Changkun chuckled, pointed at Ye Chen, and sighed: "You still understand me! Let's go buy lobster!"
Although in Xiao Changkun's heart, he did have some sympathy for his mother's experience.
However, he is not a fool.
He had already seen clearly the old lady's face over the years.
When I dared to go out as a family, I had no mercy at all, and no regard for blood ties.
When he tricked his daughter Xiao Churan, he was just as ruthless.
Later, when the Xiao family failed, she did many disgusting things in order to live in her own Tomson first-grade villa.
Xiao Changkun had long been tired of seeing these faces.
Therefore, he also hopes that reality can teach Mrs. Xiao a profound lesson.
Before Mrs. Xiao completely repented, he did not intend to give Mrs. Xiao any help.
Weng and his son-in-law bought a lot of things, except that they did not go back to the vegetable area to purchase. After loading a cart full of various ingredients, they pushed the cart to the cashier to pay.
In the checkout area at this time, there were long queues in front of every checkout counter.
Ye Chen and Xiao Changkun waited in line for more than 20 minutes before finally reaching one of the checkout counters.
Seeing that it was his turn to check out, Xiao Changkun hurriedly walked to the shopping cart and said to Ye Chen: "Good son-in-law, you take the things in the back and scan the code for the cashier, and I'll pack the bags in the front."
Ye Chen nodded. Xiao Changkun walked into the cashier aisle first. Before Ye Chen could get the goods, he said to the cashier: "Here are four plastic bags, and I want the biggest one."
The cashier nodded and said, "It's fifty cents for a big bag."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and took out four large plastic bags from the drawer next to him and handed them to Xiao Changkun.
Xiao Changkun took the plastic bag, looked up subconsciously, and exclaimed: "Oh, sister-in-law?! Why are you here?"
"Ah?! It's...it's you?!"
In front of the checkout counter, Qian Hongyan, who was wearing a supermarket employee's vest, looked at Xiao Changkun and was equally shocked and dumbfounded!
She never dreamed that she would run into Xiao Changkun when she was forced to work as a temporary worker as a cashier!
Look at the young man on the other side who is taking something out of the shopping cart. Isn’t it the Xiao family’s good-for-nothing son-in-law Ye Chen?!
When Qian Hongyan saw Ye Chen take out a thickened plastic bag containing several top-quality lobsters, she immediately thought to herself sourly: "I've been hungry all day and night, and I've been standing here hungry all morning.
, they haven’t waited for lunch from the supermarket yet, but luckily for them, they actually bought a bag full of such big lobsters! The two families who also live in Tomson Yipin, how come there is such a big gap in living standards!"
