The stepmother who was sick and weak in the 1980s married the factory manager and was raised by Zaiz

"Boss Li, I'm really sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. I will pay you double compensation for your loss. What do you think?"

With the double compensation and Xu Yan's lowly attitude, Li Aiguo muttered dissatisfiedly and did not say any more embarrassing words.

After collecting the money, he waved his hand and signaled Xu Yan to leave.

Xu Yan frowned: "Boss Li, in the future..."

"In the future?" Li Aiguo raised his eyebrows: "Brother Xu, I think you are an honest person. Do you think you are in my position, would you still be willing to trust you and cooperate again?"

After a moment of silence, Xu Yan pursed his lips and said, "Boss Li, I understand what you mean."

Looking at Xu Yan's retreating figure, Li Aiguo felt a little regretful.

After all, he was very satisfied with the cooperation over the past few years.

The chicken provided by Xu Yan is large and cheap. Frankly speaking, he is a good person to work with.

But business is business, and human feelings are human feelings, and the two cannot be confused.

This supply issue is no small matter.

Even if Xu Yan will pay double compensation for the loss, he still needs to spend a lot of effort to find a new manufacturer to cooperate with, otherwise his store will lose its signature dishes and its reputation will also be lost.

Li Aiguo sighed, turned back to the store, made phone calls, and went about sourcing supplies.

Xu Yan walked forward with heavy steps and difficulty.

Feeling in his pocket, there was not much money left, and Xu Yan had a touch of sadness on his face.

When passing by the department store, Xu Yan stopped and walked inside.

But after a while, he came out again with empty hands.

Minding his own business, he walked to a small alley and squatted down.

Thinking back to the words of the previous bosses, Xu Yan's hands trembled a little.

Xu Yan doesn't smoke, but this time he made an exception.

Trembling, he took out the cigarette he just bought and lit it.

The smoke and clouds were lingering, and Xu Yan didn't know how long he stayed here.

The ashtrays on the ground showed Xu Yan's inner struggle.

Finally, a flash of determination flashed in Xu Yan's eyes.

Then, he put out the cigarette butt in his hand, threw it on the ground, stood up and walked out of the alley.

But that straight back looks a little more decadent!

Xu Ziheng, who closed the door and was preparing to go to school with Jin Bei in his arms, stopped when he saw Shi Jiaojiao and Xu Zichen coming back on bicycles not far away.

As the two approached, Xu Ziheng hurriedly approached and asked with concern: "Sister-in-law, what's going on with you and Zichen's bruised noses and swollen faces? Also, sister-in-law, why are you back? Sister-in-law, are you recovered?"

A bunch of questions came to her face, making Shi Jiaojiao feel ashamed: "Ziheng, you have so many questions, which one do you want sister-in-law to answer?"

Xu Ziheng scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

With a serious look on his face, Xu Ziheng asked the question he was most concerned about: "Sister-in-law, are you feeling well? Has the doctor allowed you to be discharged?"

"Don't worry, your sister-in-law is fine!" Shi Jiaojiao touched Xu Ziheng's head.

"By the way, has your eldest brother come back?"

Xu Ziheng shook his head, "No."

Except for this morning, when his eldest brother went to school to explain something to him, he had not seen his eldest brother at other times.

"Then do you know where your eldest brother is?" "I don't know."

The eldest brother didn't tell him, but just asked him to deliver food to his sister-in-law.

Shi Jiaojiao's frown deepened, and her heart felt a little heavy, but she didn't show anything in front of her child.

"Well, it's getting late. Beibei will be taken care of by my sister-in-law. You and Zichen should go to school first."

Xu Ziheng wanted to stop him, admitting frankly that he could take care of Jin Bei while going to school, and no longer had to trouble Shi Jiaojiao, but he was pulled by Xu Zichen's sleeve beside him.

There was some struggle in his eyes, but he finally didn't speak.

Before leaving, Xu Ziheng seemed to remember something: "Sister-in-law, yesterday Liu Quan, an employee of the factory and from the next village, came to the house to find my elder brother. I don't know what happened next."

"Well, I see."

It's a clue. She can go find someone to check it out later, but there's no need to let the two children know about it.

On the way to school, Xu Zichen saw that Xu Ziheng was absent-minded and thought she was worried about Jin Bei, so he couldn't help but said: "Second brother, don't worry, Beibei will be fine!"

No matter how unscrupulous that person is, he would not take it out on a three-year-old baby!

Moreover, Shi Jiaojiao is a sister-in-law, so she should take care of Beibei no matter what.

Xu Ziheng shook his head: "I'm not worried about this. I know my sister-in-law will take good care of Beibei, but Beibei is still young and often needs someone to hold her. I'm worried that my sister-in-law's body will get tired if she is held for a long time."

Xu Zichen obviously did not expect to hear this answer from Xu Ziheng's mouth. His whole body was traumatized, and he felt as if he had been stabbed in the back.

"No, second brother, you are not worried about who is bullying Beibei, but you are actually feeling sorry for and tired of that one?"

Xu Ziheng looked at Xu Zichen, his eyes full of disapproval of his words: "It's not that person! That's the eldest brother's wife, our sister-in-law!"

The seriousness in Xu Ziheng's eyes made Xu Zichen a little dissatisfied. How many days had it been? Even the second brother rebelled?

Xu Zichen, who originally had a good impression of Shi Jiaojiao, saw his usually calm second brother leaning towards Shi Jiaojiao. His good impression of Shi Jiaojiao was instantly wiped out.

Sure enough, who is not a fuel saver? The way to win people's hearts is to be strong.

He said sternly: "No, that's your sister-in-law. I, Xu Zichen, don't recognize her!"

Seeing such stubborn Xu Zichen, Xu Ziheng had a headache, and for the first time, he felt that he was usually too spoiled.

Shi Jiaojiao, the sister-in-law, is qualified in Xu Ziheng's eyes.

Not to mention, she noticed that he was not in the right mood the day after the wedding and used the opportunity to cook to enlighten him.

Even when Zi Chen and Jin Bao were bullied, she, a weak woman, stood up to defend them in front of the powerful and powerful Aunt Zhao. She suffered from self-explosion and pain, and she did not hesitate to get seriously injured in order to seek justice for them.

At this point, he, Xu Ziheng, looked down upon Shi Jiaojiao, his sister-in-law.

In addition, Zichen doesn't understand human relationships, so why would he?

Uncle Zhao and his family used the late Aunt Zhao to fight many times. If the sister-in-law hadn't taken action, how long would the eldest brother have been entangled with them?

What moved him most was that Shi Jiaojiao was sincere in helping her eldest brother: she took all the bad reputation on herself, but did not let her eldest brother's reputation be damaged in the slightest.

I am sincere to my eldest brother and my younger brothers.

Shi Jiaojiao, what she did was worthy of Xu Ziheng's sincere call as sister-in-law.

Xu Ziheng shouted sharply: "Xu Zichen!" Then he said seriously: "You must have a conscience! You must also be willful and moderate! Think about it!"

After saying that, Xu Ziheng sped up and rushed towards the school.

Looking at Xu Ziheng's leaving figure, Xu Zichen's eyes sparkled with tears.

Bad guys, all bad guys!
