CHAPTER 1287: CHAPTER 1288: THE LITTLE WIDOW OF THE SIHEYUAN 15

Zhang Yu was in a deep, confused sleep when she heard a big commotion outside.

What’s going on? Is it already daylight? Zhang Yu felt so tired and hadn’t rested well.

She wanted to turn over and continue sleeping, but the noise outside was too loud. She sat up and looked outside, finding it still dark.

She turned on the light and checked her watch to find it was only a little past ten, no wonder she felt exhausted.

Zhao Lei and Zhao Hong were also rubbing their eyes in confusion, "Mom, what’s going on?"

Zhang Yu yawned, walked to the window, and looked into the courtyard, noticing the lively scene at Zhao Fu’s house.

"What’s happening?" Could it be that Zhao Lin went to his uncle’s house and caused a scene instead?

"You two stay inside, I’ll go have a look." Feeling the hustle and bustle outside, Zhang Yu didn’t dare let the kids go out.

The yard was dark; if someone wasn’t careful, they might bump into something or step on something and end up crying.

Zhao Lei nodded, "Don’t worry, Mom, I’ll watch my sister."

Although he was very curious, there were too many people outside and he didn’t dare to go out.

Zhang Yu put on a coat, and just as she opened the door, she saw someone already under the eaves, "What’s going on?"

A neighbor saw Zhang Yu come out and admitted they weren’t sure either, "All I know is that Zhao Er Ma’s parents, her brother, sister-in-law, and their children have all come over."

Wow? Zhang Yu’s mouth turned into an ’O’ shape, "At this hour, they all came?"

"What’s going on?" If it was just about asking for work back, Zhang Yu didn’t think it would need such a big scene.

No matter how it was, it was still Zhao Fu’s place here; even if they came in numbers, they wouldn’t have the upper hand.

"By the way, did Old Master Zhao come out?" He was just next door, and especially since it was his younger brother’s in-laws who came, it was a matter of face. With Zhao Gui always being so considerate, he couldn’t not come out.

"He came out, but even so, Old Master Zhao couldn’t handle it." The neighbor sighed deeply.

What? Even Zhao Gui can’t handle it? Zhang Yu gasped, "It seems like this situation has blown up quite a lot."

"You wouldn’t know, Zhao Er Ma’s job wasn’t just given to her brother, it was bought with money."

"No way." Zhang Yu was really shocked, as there was no memory of this in her original memories.

Well, at that time, they smoothly got Zhao Jun’s job, so of course, they wouldn’t go back to ask for a job, so it never came out.

"Yeah, before, Zhao Er Ye and his wife kept saying the job was for the big brother-in-law, but it was sold below market price, only fifty yuan cheaper."

"They were working fine, but Zhao Lin forced his uncle to return the job, or he’d go find the boss."

"Of course, they wouldn’t agree, having paid for the job, why would they willingly give it back?"

"When Zhao Lin heard they wouldn’t return the job, he just smashed their bowls and chopsticks."

The neighbor was filled with regret, and Zhang Yu was equally shocked, "Is this something a nephew would do?"

The neighbor kept nodding, "Exactly, it’s like they’re enemies."

In these times, arguing over jobs is a common occurrence, but not to this extent.

"I heard if it hadn’t been for Zhao Er Ye getting there in time, Zhao Lin was about to smash their pot." The neighbor couldn’t stop shaking his head.

"Oh my God." Zhang Yu just wanted to say having such a nephew isn’t a simple trouble.

"Smashing bowls was already enough, but they were even going to smash the pot." My God, it was almost like seeing the real-life version of "smashing the pot and selling the iron."

"Are they trying to become enemies?" Zhang Yu finally understood why even someone as smooth as Zhao Gui couldn’t handle this situation.

The Gong family was really fed up with Zhao Fu’s family, "Zhao Fu, Gong Da Niang, back then, your brother didn’t have any other job to buy."

Sister-in-law Gong was really furious, "There were better jobs than yours, Gong Da Niang, I told your brother not to buy your job, or else if you regretted it later, we’d suffer."

"Your brother insisted that his dear sister wouldn’t cheat her own brother."

"But look, Gong Da Niang, you didn’t come out demanding the job back, but your son did."

"We won’t return the job we paid for, yet your son just came and smashed bowls and pots."

"Back then you were in need of money, we had to pay for the job."

"Now your family needs the job, you’re crying and fussing to get it back."

"Isn’t your behavior equivalent to that of thieves?" Sister-in-law Gong ignored Brother Gong’s constant pulling and shouted out the whole story.

Zhao Gui was really about to faint, he originally thought their two brothers were always supporting their in-laws, and in the future, if Zhao Fu accused him of supporting the in-laws, he could always bring this up.

Who knew Zhao Fu’s claims of caring for the in-laws were all lies.

"You’re Zhao Fu’s older brother, with your parents gone, the elder brother is like a father, do you think Zhao Fu and his family’s behavior is right?" Sister-in-law Gong stared at Zhao Gui.

Zhao Gui really wanted to curse, wondering why they thought of him at this moment.

"Zhao Fu and his family are definitely in the wrong."

"I really didn’t know about this, Zhao Fu and his family always said the job was given to you."

"Little Lin has been troubled with work recently, suddenly remembered his mother had a job, so he wanted you to give it to him." Zhao Gui subtly indicated that Zhao Fu and his wife were publicly claiming they hadn’t taken any money back then.

"I was worried that Gong Da Niang might pull something like this, so I prepared in advance and insisted they sign a receipt, or else I’d have no where to argue my case."

Zhao Fu and Gong Da Niang didn’t dare to raise their heads because right now they only had one thought in their minds, that they were finished, and Zhao Gui must be very angry.

"Zhao Fu, Gong Da Niang, you should compensate for my family’s loss and for damaging the reputation between my brother and me. Don’t you think you should express your regret?"

Sister-in-law Gong couldn’t suppress her anger upon thinking about how for so many years, Zhao Fu and Gong Da Niang ruined their family’s reputation.

"Sever the family ties, we must sever them."

"I’m also going to find your leader, don’t think you’re the only ones who’d go find the leader, we will too." Sister-in-law Gong declared viciously.

This time their family suffered such a big loss, they definitely wouldn’t just let it go so easily.

Seeing Brother Gong planning to go find the leader, everyone began persuading them.

"The leader is very busy, there’s no need to disturb them over such a small matter."

If this gets out, it wouldn’t look good on anyone’s face.

Brother Gong looked hesitantly at his wife, Sister-in-law Gong snorted a few times, "We paid the money in the first place, since the sister-in-law did provide a job."

"But now their son doesn’t have a job and remembers it, asking for it back at every opportunity."

"Back then, when you needed money, you got over that hurdle, and now you’re turning your back on us?"

Sister-in-law Gong was determined, Zhao Fu’s family had to bleed for this.

"If we let this go, who would dare buy a house afterwards?" She didn’t believe it, but after she said that, the people around thought Sister-in-law Gong made a lot of sense.
