411 Separation
After the order crisis was resolved this time, all the office employees were divided into two batches and returned to the factory for anti-fraud training. The goal of the training was to prevent and see through the various traps set by others. After all, Yu Bing had so much anti-fraud knowledge in her mind. It would be a waste not to use them as examples.
Yu Bing was delayed by something and got off work half an hour late. When she passed by the accounting room, she heard voices inside.
“Mom, is it because of Grandma that we’re not going home at noon? Are we not going back to Dad and Grandma’s house in the future?”
A childish voice came from the door.
In the finance room, Sun Hui’s small body was covered by Wen Qin’s thin jacket as he lay on the one-meter-long desk. Because of malnutrition, he looked like he was four years old at six years old.
Wen Qin looked at her son’s clear and bright eyes, which revealed the innocence unique to children.
She originally wanted to resolve things peacefully with the Sun family behind his back, but seeing Madam Sun’s actions, she knew that she was too naive.
Sooner or later, the child would have to know. Wasn’t Madam Sun so fearless because Madam Sun knew she didn’t want the child to be affected? However, if this continued, the child would probably be affected even more.
After making up her mind, Wen Qin asked, “I’m going to leave your dad. Are you willing to live with me?”
Sun Hui didn’t answer immediately. He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. Wen Qin’s heart was in her throat as she stared at the expression on her son’s face.
Sun Hui didn’t remain silent for long. After he looked up at Wen Qin, he replied seriously, “Mom, if we have to be separated, I’ll be with you. The child in your stomach will be born soon, so I want to protect you guys. Grandma has my father, and you have me.”
After Sun Hui finished speaking, he patted his chest with his small hand, as if he wanted to use this action to increase the credibility of his words.
Wen Qin’s eyes instantly filled with tears as she held her son’s small hand and kissed it. With her son’s assurance, she was much more confident.
When Yu Bing heard the mother and son’s conversation, she couldn’t help but think of the rumors she had heard when she returned to the village two days ago. Hence, she raised her hand and knocked on the door of the accounting room. “Wen Qin, I’m Yu Bing.”
When Wen Qin heard Yu Bing’s voice, she hurriedly stood up and opened the door. “Yu Bing, you’re not off work yet?”
Yu Bing replied in embarrassment, “I just locked the door and was about to go home. When I passed by just now, I overheard your conversation.”
Then, Yu Bing asked with concern, “I heard that Madam Sun has started to stay at your house overnight?”
Wen Qin nodded helplessly. “I plan to talk to her after work today.”
Yu Bing patted Wen Qin’s shoulder. “Let me know if you need help.”
Wen Qin pursed her lips and smiled as she said, “Okay!”
Yu Bing and Wen Qin chatted for a while before leaving.
At four in the afternoon, Madam Sun appeared in He Mountain Village as usual.
“You’re quite punctual. You appear at this time every day.” Madam Ning, one of Madam Sun’s friends, took the initiative to greet her.
Madam Sun replied with a smile, “I just wanted to chat with you guys for a while. Why didn’t Bai Tao come today?”
Madam Ning said mysteriously, “Bai Tao’s family caused a huge commotion this morning. Her second daughter-in-law wants to leave. She’s very angry and is probably lying at home.”
Madam Sun immediately leaned forward and asked curiously, “Isn’t her youngest son still unmarried? Why does the family want to leave under such circumstances?”
Rural families usually split up after their children became adults and got married. If all the sons in the family wanted to split up, their parents would mostly agree. They would most likely live with their eldest son after they split up.
When Madam Ning saw that Madam Sun was interested in her news, she said, “She has three sons and two daughters, but she dotes on the youngest son the most. Her second daughter-in-law works in our village’s food factory. Bai Tao was envious and wanted to get her youngest son a spot in our village’s food factory as well.”
“However, Yu Bing is very strict. Moreover, the recruitment process for the food factory is very rigorous. It’s impossible to bribe her. Therefore, her youngest son failed a few times.”
“Bai Tao didn’t give up and got someone to find a part-time worker job in the town’s factory. This will cost a lot of money, so her second daughter-in-law objected. She thinks that after she submits her monthly salary, Bai Tao will use it to subsidize her youngest son. In a few months, she will have to pay the betrothal gift. This morning, she forced Bai Tao to choose between her youngest son’s job and marriage. If she wants to choose both, she has to split up the family first.”
