Chapter 118 You're lying to ghosts.
"It's good if you can find a way; after all, he's your own nephew."
Old Man Lin was speaking in a normal tone.
"Okay, I'll try my best. But I'm afraid I'll still have to suffer some hardships."
Zhao Yuan said.
"There's nothing we can do about it."
Grandpa Lin was clearly heartbroken, but he still spoke without changing his expression.
"Dad, let's eat before you leave."
Zhao Yuan still politely said that this was, after all, his father-in-law. Of the four elders, only this father-in-law was left. Although he was unreasonable and domineering, he was still an elder, and they should still be filial to him.
"Okay, I'll have lunch before I leave."
Old Man Lin didn't stand on ceremony.
"Zhaoyuan, I heard that those two elderly people are living with you. What's going on?"
"Old Man Lin asked."
“I rented Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong’s house to use as a factory. It’s too noisy at the factory, so they live with me now. When they have nothing to do, they help take care of Zhao Nana and help Fangfang cook. Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong are retired doctors from the county hospital and they have their own retirement pensions.”
Zhao Yuan said.
He tried his best to say that he had taken advantage of Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble his father-in-law would cause.
Old Man Lin stopped talking and started sitting in the yard smoking.
The courtyard was quiet, and Lin Fangfang didn't dare to breathe.
Just then, Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong pushed Zhao Nana back.
"I'm going out for a walk and will come back for dinner."
Old Man Lin stood up and walked out.
Zhao Yuan knew that his father-in-law would most likely go to the food factory.
Sure enough, Old Man Lin went to the food factory, but Zhou Jiefang didn't recognize him and wouldn't let him in.
Old Man Lin shouted loudly at the door:
"Xuefang, Xuefang."
Lin Xuefang was making braised dishes when she heard her elderly father's voice. She quickly came out and led the old man into the food factory. Before entering, the old man glared at Zhou Jiefang and said fiercely.
“I’m at my daughter’s factory, and you dare to stop me? I’ll teach you a lesson.”
As soon as Old Man Lin entered the door, he began to look around, touching this and looking at that, acting just like the master of the house.
When Lin Xuefang saw her father arrive, she handed over the preparation of the braised dishes to someone else and then accompanied her elderly father on a tour of the factory.
"These all belong to your brother-in-law?"
"Old Man Lin asked."
“Yes, Dad, look at my sister. My brother-in-law is so rich now. He even drove a brand new car to the provincial capital this time,” Lin Xuefang said with a hint of jealousy.
"Seriously, those two bastards, they live such good lives, but when I asked them to arrange a job for their nephew, they made all sorts of excuses. If they had arranged a job for Lin Hailin, none of this would have happened. Now they've even gotten their own nephew into the police station. It's just outrageous."
Old Man Lin's temper flared up again.
"Yes, my brother-in-law's factory is doing very well. He's hired more than a dozen people, and I heard they're going to build a larger factory. Yesterday, they received a new machine. They'll probably need to hire more people."
Lin Xuefang said she just wanted to see her sister get her comeuppance. She was her own sister, yet she did just as much work as anyone else, but earned less each month. Especially seeing Zhou Jiefang only need to give orders and hear that he was paid a high salary, she felt very resentful. She had long hoped her father would teach her a lesson.
"These two traitors, I'll teach them a lesson when I get back. I'm still alive, and they dare to make excuses about their nephews."
Old Man Lin walked around the factory with his hands behind his back, as if the factory belonged to his family.
"Please get me 5 jin of this, and please get me two boxes of this too."
Old Man Lin said to Lin Xuefang.
"okay."
As she spoke, Lin Xuefang went to get a bag, filled it with 5 jin of braised food, and handed it to Old Man Lin. Then she carried two boxes of ham sausages and followed Old Man Lin out.
Zhou Zhaoyuan and Master Fang blocked the way for Old Man Lin and Lin Fangfang.
"Lin Xuefang, you are considered to have missed half a day of work this morning. No one is allowed to move any of the company's belongings out of the premises."
“I’m taking my daughter’s and son-in-law’s things. I’ll see who dares to stop me today. Xuefang is coming with me to look after the factory. I’ll see who dares to deduct her wages today.”
Old Man Lin put the things on the table and started throwing a tantrum.
“Old man, things in the factory aren’t really decided by Zhaoyuan alone. Even if it’s Zhaoyuan, he has to pay when he comes to pick up something.”
Master Fang said calmly.
Zhao Yuan had long anticipated this day, so he told Master Fang and Zhou Jiefang in advance.
"Then let Zhaoyuan pay. He's taking things from his own factory and he wants to pay? You're kidding me."
Old Man Lin was still quite unreasonable, but his tone wasn't as arrogant as before.
“Go and call someone yourself. This factory doesn’t belong to Zhaoyuan alone. None of us, including Zhaoyuan, can take anything home from here. That’s the factory’s rule.”
Master Fang remained neither arrogant nor humble in his reply.
"Xuefang, is that so?"
Old Man Lin turned to ask Lin Xuefang.
Lin Xuefang chickened out at this point. She had signed a contract to join the factory, and no one had been able to pull strings for her for so long. This time, she was likely to have her pay docked and might even be fired.
"Ah."
Lin Xuefang said in a low voice.
"Hmph, we'll see."
Old Man Lin pushed the braised food onto the ground and stormed out.
After leaving the food factory, Old Man Lin headed towards Lin Fangfang's house.
Old Man Lin entered the door and said aggressively:
"Fangfang, hurry up and go to the food factory and get some braised dishes and sausages. You guys are living such a good life, and I have to put up with that brat's temper when I get some braised dishes and sausages."
"I can't afford it either. The braised dishes for lunch today were bought by Uncle Zhong from the supply and marketing cooperative."
Lin Fangfang said that these were things that Zhaoyuan had explained to Lin Fangfang, Uncle Zhong, and Aunt Zhong beforehand.
"You're kidding me. Why would I need to buy things from the supply and marketing cooperative when it's my own factory?"
Old Man Lin said angrily.
“Brother Lin, Fangfang didn’t lie to you. I just bought the braised food for lunch. The factory doesn’t belong to Zhaoyuan alone. If everyone could just take whatever they wanted, the factory would have gone out of business long ago. Don’t make things difficult for the child.”
Uncle Zhong walked over with a smile to smooth things over.
“What difficulties do they have? They even have cars now; how many people in the county have that? You all think I'm stupid. I asked them to arrange jobs for their nephews, but they refused!”
Old Man Lin got angrier and angrier as he talked.
“This car was a reward from the province. He saved them hundreds of millions of yuan in losses. How could Zhao Yuan afford to buy it? He runs a factory now, and his daily expenses are so high. If he is not careful, he will be ruined and unable to recover.”
Uncle Zhong brought a chair for Old Man Lin.
Aunt Zhong also chimed in, offering her advice:
"Brother Lin, please calm down. The factory has its rules, and we..."
