Reversed Fate in the 70s: Marrying the Factory Director rather than Rough Man

Chapter 87



Chapter 87 : Moral


Wang Zhaodi is also a fool. She is clearly earning a salary but is being drained by this family, yet she’s willing to do it.


In fact, a few years ago, some colleagues who couldn’t stand it anymore advised Wang Zhaodi to plan for her future.


Soon, Wang Zhaodi passed the advice to her mother, who then came to the house with her two sons.


From that point on, people in the factory who knew the family’s character were unwilling to get involved for fear of bad luck.


“You don’t know how strange the Wang family is. I’m sure Wang Zhaodi’s mother will make a big fuss in the next few days. That colleague is in trouble because she was picked on for no reason, just because she was wearing a hairband.”


Jiang Li seemed to say casually, “I think I heard that the mother and daughter said they were going to settle accounts with someone named Wang Jing.”


Yang Mei’s eyes widened. Wang Jing and she were on the same production line, so she had to tell Sister Jing about this as soon as possible.


“Boss, we have something urgent to do, so we’ll leave first,” Yang Mei said as she pulled He Lingling away. He Lingling was reluctant to leave, as she still wanted to learn a few new hairstyles from Jiang Li.


Yang Mei went home, put her things down, and went out. Wang Jing got married some time ago and now does not live in the family quarters, so Yang Mei didn’t know the exact address. She could only go to Wang Jing’s parents’ home to ask for the address.


By the time they reached Wang Jing’s current residence after many twists and turns, it was already dark. She knocked on the door, and Wang Jing was very surprised, “Meizi, why are you here at this time? Is something going on at the factory?”


When Yang Mei told Wang Jing what she heard today, her face immediately darkened. She didn’t expect that just mentioning a few words to Wang Zhaodi about posting on Moments two days ago would lead to her mother blaming her.


“Meizi, thank you for telling me. Don’t worry, I’ll go to see my boss when I get to work tomorrow.”


Yang Mei breathed a sigh of relief. “Okay, just be prepared. I’m just afraid that Wang Zhaodi’s mother will make a scene when I’m at work tomorrow, and that will affect your boss’s opinion of you. I’m leaving now.”


“Meizi, you haven’t eaten yet. Come in,” Wang Jing insisted, pulling her in. Her husband said nothing but immediately put the wok on and fried two more delicious dishes.


“It’s so cold, you’ll freeze to death if you go home on an empty stomach. After dinner, I’ll ask my husband’s cousin to take you back to the factory. He happens to be on duty at the factory tonight.”


Yang Mei didn’t take it seriously, but her face turned red when she saw Wang Jing’s husband’s cousin. How could such a coincidence happen?


Early the next morning, not long after the workers entered the factory, there was a commotion on the production line.


Wang Zhaodi’s mother, leading her people, came towards Wang Jing in a threatening manner. “You bullied my daughter because she’s honest and seduced her to spend 1.5 yuan to buy such a thing. What is your heart made of?”


“We are not as wealthy as your family. There are many people in our family, and we have to calculate every penny. Please, stay away from my daughter in the future!”


Wang Zhaodi’s mother clasped her hands together and bowed towards Wang Jing, even pretending to kowtow to her!


As soon as Wang Jing called out, two people from the security department rushed out and picked her up. “Wang Zhaodi, please tell me clearly, when did I ever ask you to buy something? What place, what time, what did I say? You repeat it to me clearly!”


Wang Zhaodi was dumbfounded, lowering her head and unable to speak. After all, she had asked Wang Jing where she bought the hairband that day.


Wang Zhaodi’s mother was immediately displeased. “You guys teamed up to bully us, an orphan and a widow. The security department members are beating up women. Come and see!”


“Stop talking nonsense to me. Let your daughter tell you! Did I ask her to buy it and dress up?”


Seeing that everyone was looking at her and her mother glaring at her fiercely, Wang Zhaodi dared not admit it anymore. She said with tears in her eyes, “Sister Jing, just pretend you didn’t say anything. It’s all my fault. Mom, let’s go.”


Wang Jing was so angry . Even though Yang Mei had reminded her yesterday, it was useless when she encountered such a shameless person like Wang Zhaodi’s mother.


“What was said is said, and what was not said is not said. I’m making it clear today: if I ever advise you, Wang Zhaodi, to buy a hairband, may I be struck by lightning. If you, Wang Zhaodi, smear my name, you will never get married and will be drained dry by your own brother and mother. Wang Zhaodi, do you dare to swear?”


Wang Jing’s words stunned Wang Zhaodi. She didn’t dare to swear. What if this actually happened?


As soon as she looked away guiltily, everyone knew who was right and who was wrong.


Moreover, Wang Zhaodi’s family had never had a good reputation in the factory. On the contrary, Wang Jing was generous and outgoing.


“What are you doing, causing such a commotion here? Aren’t you supposed to be looking after the production line?”


“Wang Zhaodi, you brought outsiders into the workshop without permission, and you’ve caused a disturbance here, which delayed the work and affected everyone’s productivity. This violates the factory rules. I will be filing a disciplinary action against you. Be careful next time!”


Wang Zhaodi bit her lip, looking displeased. It wasn’t like no one had ever brought their family members into the workshop before, and Director He had always just scolded them and let it go. Why was he treating her this way?


She remembered that if things were handled differently in other places, the benefits paid at the end of the year would be reduced by half.


Wang Zhaodi’s mother started to make a scene right there. “Leader, our family is poor. We’re an orphan and a widow. We all rely on Zhaodi’s salary to make a living. We have to tighten our belts to survive. Our old Wang died on the job, and the factory can’t be so cold to our employees!”


He Weiguang became impatient and said, “You have plenty of arms and legs to do things, but you still have the nerve to point at your daughter and drain her dry. Your Wang family has caused so much trouble in the factory over the years, but the factory has turned a blind eye because of Old Wang. Old Wang was a very responsible man when he was alive. He treated the factory like his own home. If he knew that his wife and son-in-law were this disappointing, he’d probably give you a good whipping.”


This string of words stunned Wang Zhaodi’s mother. She looked at Director He’s cold eyes and knew that this time, things might get out of hand.


Isn’t it said that the crying child gets the milk? This trick used to work, but why didn’t it work now?


Wang Zhaodi looked at her mother with some resentment. Maybe it would have worked in the past, but from today on, all her father’s favor was gone, and she was no longer welcome in the factory. How was she supposed to survive now?


After the mother and daughter left, Director He shouted a few words to speed up the production tasks, then nodded at Wang Jing.


Wang Jing smiled. Fortunately, she had informed her uncle in advance when she came in the morning. Her husband had also asked his cousin Peng Hongqi to bring people to stand guard, otherwise the Wang family’s actions would have been even more troublesome.


The news spread throughout the food factory by noon, and by the time Jiang Li heard about it, it was already lunchtime.


She arrived at Qi Shaoqiang’s office with her lunchbox and ran into He Lingling and Yang Mei discussing the matter.
