Chapter 347 Unfilial
“Sister, this is not a matter of getting angry. It is reasonable for him to deduct your salary, but he is bullying you by deducting several times your salary.”

“The boss is just talking, he won’t really deduct the money. In fact, the boss is a very good person. Xia Xia, the boss and I agreed to work for a full month. Now that we have agreed, we have to continue working.”

Lin Chuxia frowned slightly, “Big sister, are you in trouble? Are the Zhang family members treating you badly, so you came out to wash the dishes?”

Those no longer delicate hands were not entirely caused by doing housework, but by washing dishes or doing heavier work.

“No,” Qin Juan smiled, “Why do you think so? Ningning went to school a while ago, and I had nothing to do at home, so I wanted to find a job. I don’t know how to do anything, so I can only wash dishes for others.”

“Is that really all there is to it?”

Qin Juan nodded again.

“Even if you want to find a job, you can go to our own bun shop. Why suffer here? Let’s not work here anymore. At worst, you don’t want the salary. I will give it to you.”

Lin Chuxia was still worried about Qin Juan being here.

Qin Juan smiled with relief, “I really didn’t feel offended. The boss is actually very generous. Besides, this place is close to my home, so it’s convenient for me to pick up Ningning from school. The bun shop is still a bit far away.”

“Really?” Lin Chuxia still didn’t believe it.

Qin Juan patted her arm and winked at her. “How about I call the boss back and let him talk to you in person?”

He smiled again, “It’s nothing, it’s just that I was late for the past few days, so my boss got mad. He’s usually very easy to talk to.”

“Sister, we are your family. If you really have something to say, please tell us. Qin Yang and I are by your side now. We will support you. No matter what happens, you are the most important in our hearts.”

“I know,” Qin Juan said, changing the subject. “Where are you going? Have you eaten yet? How about trying the food in our restaurant? Big sister will treat you.”

“No, big sister, I have to go back. Qin Yang will be worried if I stay out for too long.”

“Then go back quickly, I’m really fine.”

Lin Chuxia nodded and lowered her voice, “If the boss continues to be unreasonable, you should fight him. Don’t let him suffer a loss. At worst, we can help you fight.”

Qin Juan burst out laughing.

After watching Lin Chuxia walk away, the smile on his face faded and his eyes turned red.

“Xia Xia, I’m sorry. It’s not that I don’t know what’s good for me, but I can’t let you get into trouble.”

Mom and Dad said they were the pride of the village, so how could she bring shame to her brothers’ reputation?

In the evening, Qin Juan finally finished a busy day’s work, and her hands were already white from being soaked.

“Boss, I will definitely come earlier tomorrow. I have been busy at home these past two days. I’m sorry.”

Although the boss had a stern face, his attitude was not so overbearing.

“That’s good to know. I don’t mean to deduct your money today. Just be careful next time. Go back early.”

Qin Juan thanked him again and then dragged her tired body back home.

As soon as she reached the door of her house, she heard Ningning crying. Qin Juan’s face changed and she ran into the house.

Ningning was seen standing in front of the stove, crying miserably, with her little hands raised up, which were all red from the burns, while the child’s grandmother, Zhang Wenbin’s mother, was yelling and cursing beside her.

Qin Juan didn’t say anything and immediately pulled Ningning under the tap to rinse with cold water. “Mom, it hurts!”

Seeing her mother, Ningning finally dared to cry out in pain.

She was in pain, and Qin Juan felt even more pain.

The little hands were all red and had blisters in several places.

“How did this happen?”

Before Ningning could answer, Old Lady Zhang had already given the answer.

“You are just a little girl, acting like a baby all day long. You are so old, but you can’t even cook.”

“Why are you crying? If it weren’t for your mom not letting you do anything all day, you wouldn’t have gotten burned while cooking. If you want to blame someone, blame your mom.”

“The lady’s body is the maid’s fate. Not everyone can have the lady’s body. You are so useless. Why did your family raise two useless people like you? The older one just eats and is useless. The younger one is the same. You are like your mother. Why do you still need to go to school? I think you can just wash clothes and cook at home. You don’t have to worry about getting burned when you cook.”

“Mom, how can you talk like that?”

Qin Juan couldn’t stand it any longer and said directly, “Ningning is not even six years old yet, and you let her cook. Can you bear it? She is your granddaughter.”

“I’m doing this for her own good. She’s just a little girl. If she doesn’t learn how to cook, who would want her? Do you think you’re as kind as our Zhang family and can support an idler like you?”

Old Mrs. Zhang had triangular eyes and a look of disdain on her face.

“Mom, you always say that I am an idle person. Let me ask you, who has been washing the clothes, cooking the meals, and cleaning the house and outside for so many years? I really didn’t know that an idle person could be so idle. People who play cards all day are considered busy people.”

When she heard her talking about playing cards, Mrs. Zhang immediately stopped.

“What do you mean? What’s wrong with me playing cards every day? I have a son, and my son is willing to be filial to me. Who is it for you to say irresponsible things here? I don’t even despise you for eating white rice with my family every day, but you despise your elders. Is there such an unfilial daughter-in-law in the world? We are really blind to marry a daughter-in-law like you, who will cut off the roots of our Zhang family and kill me, an old woman?”

“That’s not what I meant. I’m just stating the facts.”

“Bah, what do you mean by sticking to the facts? You are just unfilial…”

When Mrs. Zhang yelled, all the men in the room came out.

Old Master Zhang was not happy about being interrupted while watching TV, and frowned, “What are you yelling about? Are you going to let me watch TV properly?”

Zhang Wenbin also looked impatient.

Old Mrs. Zhang acted as if she had seen a savior. She pulled her son and pointed at Qin Juan’s nose and scolded her.

“Look at your good wife. I haven’t done anything yet, but she already thinks I’m an eyesore. I’ve worked for you all my life, and now I’m old and I play cards and she still criticizes me. She’s been eating everyone’s food at home for so many years, what have I said? It’s really unfair. I’ve made up my mind, and I don’t have to wait until I’m old. I’ll just jump into the river now, so that you won’t despise me when I’m old.”

“Wenbin, I’m sorry for finding you a wife who can’t help you at all and is a jerk. If I had known that the Qin family’s daughter was like this, I would have let you remain single rather than let you marry her…”

“Come here,” Zhang Wenbin pulled Qin Juan’s arm and walked into the house.

Qin Juan also washed Ningning’s hands with cold water. When Ningning saw her mother being angrily dragged away by her father, she was so scared that she burst into tears.

Old Madam Zhang slapped him and said, “Why are you crying? Are you mourning? If it weren’t for you, the unlucky star, would the family be in such a mess?”

Ningning held back her tears in grievance and sobbed.
