Chapter 66 You didn't come here to see my son?
The entire Du family was in chaos.
Yinbao and Wanbao cried so loudly it shook the heavens.
“I want to be my uncle’s son! I want to call my uncle ‘Dad! Dad! Dad! Please take me!” Yinbao shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Daddy! Daddy! Hold Wanbao!" Wanbao was a little smaller and didn't know what he was crying about, but he just followed his brother's cries.
Jinbao panicked and pulled Wanbao back, yelling at the top of his lungs, "This is my dad! Get out of the way! All of you get out of the way!"
Du Gen's cousin-in-law grabbed Yin Bao, "What are you crying for?! Your parents aren't dead yet! What are you crying for?"
Du Genniang's face immediately darkened: "I'm just having a happy birthday, and you're making a fuss about mourning me? What do you mean by that?"
But considering these were her family members, she couldn't afford to cause a scene, so she kept a livid face and remained silent.
But Yinbao pushed his mother away forcefully, shouting, "I don't want you! I want to call you Auntie! You're so poor!"
"You..." Du Gen's cousin-in-law was so angry that she slapped Yin Bao across the face, and Yin Bao cried even harder, "I don't want you, you're poor, fierce, and you even hit people! When you get old, I'll throw you into the mountains!"
Wanbao joined in, howling, "I don't want you! I'll throw you into the mountains! I'll spend my own money and eat pig's trotters all by myself!"
Lin Qingping watched the family making a huge fuss, then looked down at Zhiyuan, who grinned at her.
Well, you've got some skills, kid...
With all this commotion, there wasn't much left to eat at the birthday banquet. Just as she was about to suggest to her in-laws that they take their leave, someone came from outside. "Du Gen's mother! Du Gen's wife! Someone's here to see you!"
"Who is it?" Du Gen's mother was really dizzy from the noise inside the house, so she went out to see who had come looking for her.
Upon closer inspection, he appeared to be a well-dressed city dweller.
Dugan, who was initially furious, immediately broke into a smile.
"Excuse me, is this the Du family's residence?" the visitor asked politely.
Du Genniang hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, yes! You are..."
"I'm from Ruixiang Garment Factory, my surname is Hu..."
"Oh, oh, oh! You're Director Hu from the garment factory!" Du Gen's mother's mouth practically stretched to her ears in a grin. "You're here to see our Du Gen, right? He's inside! Come in, come in!"
After the person was led in, Lin Qingping realized it was Director Hu.
But with the room in such a mess, it wasn't a place for pleasantries. Director Hu was dumbfounded.
"Get those brats out of here right now!" Du Genniang yelled at her nephew's wife, feeling utterly humiliated.
Cousin Dugan then took all three boys out, and only then did the room quiet down.
Du Genniang poured tea and then invited Director Hu to dinner, which kept Director Hu from getting to the point for a long time.
Du Genniang kept saying, "Director Hu, Du Gen has caused you trouble at the factory. Thank you for taking such good care of him."
Factory Director Hu: No, no, no...
Du Genniang: Factory director, we have a lot of family members, and they are all hardworking and capable. In the future, when the factory recruits workers, could you please consider hiring two more people because of our Genzi?
Factory Director Hu: ? ? ?
Dugen panicked, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? The factory manager must have something to say! Let him speak first!"
Du Gen's mother: "Oh, oh, right, factory manager, what brings you here to see Du Gen?"
Dugan: ...
Factory Director Hu finally managed to interject a few times, looking at Lin Qingping, "Comrade Lin, is there anywhere we can talk privately?"
"Yes! Yes! Convenient! I'll have them all leave right away so you can chat!" Du Genniang stood up, her smugness almost overflowing. She said to the Lin Qingping sisters and the Gu family elders, "Fellow in-laws, it's not that I'm being impolite, but the factory director wants to speak with you privately, so please leave for a moment. Hehe, don't take offense."
Dugan was going crazy, "Mother!"
Du Genniang glared at him, then turned and smiled, inviting the Gu family members, "Please come in!"
Now, Du Gen's cousin's face was filled with envy and pride. It seemed that her aunt's family really had a lot of influence.
The two elders of the Gu family were honest people. Although they felt something was wrong, they still stood up and walked out.
Not giving up, Du Genniang saw that Lin Qingping was still sitting and smiled smugly, "Little Lin, please step aside for a moment as well."
Factory Director Hu: ? ? ? ?
Factory Director Hu immediately said, "No, I want to have a chat with Comrade Xiao Lin."
Du Gen's mother turned to Director Hu with a smile, "No need, no need. What does a woman like her know? Our Du Gen is here. You can talk to Du Gen if you have anything to say. As for her, she's a woman, so please be lenient with her if she doesn't perform well at the factory. Our Du Gen will talk to her properly..."
"Mother!" Du Gen couldn't hold back any longer. There were outsiders present, including the factory director. If his mother had just restrained herself, he wouldn't have wanted his family to be embarrassed like this. Now he really couldn't bear it any longer. "Factory Director Hu is here to see Xiao Lin!"
Du Genniang was a little confused. "Why are you looking for Xiao Lin?" Then she tried to explain herself, looking terrified. "Could it be that Xiao Lin has done something serious at the factory?"
She felt this was the right thing to do! Otherwise, why would the factory manager personally come to her house if it wasn't a major mistake?
Her expression immediately changed. "Factory manager, Xiao Lin made a mistake outside, but that has nothing to do with Du Gen. We Du Gen are honest and hardworking people. Xiao Lin has always had a bad reputation in the village; she's lazy, pretentious, greedy for enjoyment, and loves to take advantage of others. Whatever she steals is none of our business. We only asked you for a favor because we felt sorry for her as a woman, so we let her work at the factory. If it really doesn't work out, you can fire her; we Du Gen have no objection..."
Du Genniang speaks incredibly fast, almost leaving no room for others to get a word in edgewise. Moreover, the more she talks, the more outrageous it becomes, to the point where people are stunned by what she says.
So, after she went on and on, the Gu family elders finally realized what was going on. How could they possibly be so disparaging of their daughter-in-law?
The second sister and Gu Youlian were also furious.
"How can you talk like that?" This was said in unison by the two elders of the Gu family, the second sister, and Gu Youlian.
Dugen was so angry that his face turned red. "Mother, if you don't shut up, you can leave!"
Only Lin Qingping sat there, watching how this good show would end.
Liu Fen was so angry that she grabbed Lin Qingping's hand, "Let's go, we shouldn't have come to this meal today!"
Father-in-law Lin Qingping, usually the most honest and rarely saying a word, had been silently smoking his pipe all day. Now, however, he was furious. "Youlian, if this old woman ever bullies you again, you'd better come home! Bring Xiaomai with you!"
This means they want to break ties with the Du family, but they are afraid that their daughter will be bullied in her husband's family, so they are saying the unpleasant things in advance to support their daughter.
This display of force really frightened Dugan.
If it weren't for Director Hu still being there, Du Gen would have knelt down before his father-in-law.
Du Gen's face turned ashen with anger. "Everyone out! Let Director Hu talk to Xiao Lin!" After saying that, he yelled at his mother, "Mom, get this straight! The director is here to see Xiao Lin! Xiao Lin is the one the factory values. You Lian and I only got the chance to work as temporary workers because of Xiao Lin!"
Du Gen's mother's face changed color, turning deathly pale. "How...how is it Xiao Lin? Isn't it you? You...how come you're a temporary worker? Didn't the factory hire you with a high salary? How come you're a temporary worker? How can it be Xiao Lin's skill?"
She'd been bragging about it all over the village! She'd even said that if any boy in the village wanted a job, Genzi would take care of it! How was she supposed to face the villagers now?!
Her head was buzzing as Dugan pulled her outside, where a large crowd of onlookers had gathered.
