Chapter 435: Have empathy, but not excessive sympathy
"Caiyun, has anything happened at home recently?" Xiao Baoer did not talk about the clothes directly, just wanting to give Zhang Caiyun a chance to explain herself.
"No, nothing," Zhang Caiyun stammered.
Xiao Baoer looked at her again and said, "Caiyun, you are living with your child at your parents' house now, so you must need this job, right? Do you know what to do to keep a job?"
No matter how stupid Zhang Caiyun was, she could understand what Xiao Baoer meant, and she was not a fool anyway.
"Zhensheng's wife, I was wrong, I was wrong, please give me another chance."
Zhang Caiyun started to cry as she spoke. Xiao Baoer just felt helpless and hoped that she was not pretending.
"Then tell me why you did this?" Aunt Song Yun was so angry that she even spoke louder.
Aunt Song Yun used to feel sorry for her for marrying such a useless man and having such a vicious mother-in-law and elder sister-in-law. When she made up her mind to divorce, everyone in the factory was happy for her.
It's only been a few days, why are you committing suicide?
"I, I..." Zhang Caiyun burst into tears before she could finish her words.
Liu Ying kept thinking there was something strange inside her clothes, so she reached into her pocket and pulled out a bunch of things, all folded cloth.
Liu Ying hurriedly took the bag that Zhang Caiyun brought to work every day and found a lot of fabrics from it.
"Zhang Caiyun, how can you be a thief? Do you know that if Baoer sues you for theft, you will go to jail?"
Zhang Caiyun knelt in front of Xiao Baoer and begged her, "Please let me go, forgive me this time, I won't dare to do it again."
Xiao Baoer had nothing to say about this kind of woman. Life was already difficult for women in this world, why would she do such a stupid thing after finally making a living?
"Then tell me why you did this? You are clear about the factory's rules, right?" Xiao Baoer asked.
"I, my parents just found a man for me. That man has three daughters, and they insisted that I make some new clothes for them. The fabrics in our factory are of good quality and look good, so I just wanted to make a few clothes for them. I didn't want to take more."
"Zhang Caiyun, you know the factory rules. You ruined these clothes on purpose, not accidentally. So you have to pay for everything. I'll let Yuqing do the math. If your salary isn't enough for the compensation, you have to pay for it."
Zhang Caiyun now knows she regrets it, but Xiao Baoer will not give such a person a second chance.
"You can leave after paying the compensation. I don't want to keep people like you here," Xiao Baoer said.
Liu Ying called Jiang Yuqing over to calculate the compensation that Zhang Caiyun should pay. In addition to the salary that the factory had not yet paid her, she still needed to pay another one dollar and fifty cents to the factory.
"Aunt, sister-in-law, the two of you just need to follow the factory's rules. The rules were set long ago and will not be changed for anyone."
Xiao Baoer called Tuan Tuan and Man Man to go home. They were covered in dirt after playing with other children in the factory, so they had to go home to take a shower and change clothes.
"Mom, why haven't Dad and brother come back yet?"
When Manman got home, he didn't find his father and brother, and he was a little unhappy.
"Maybe Dad and brother will return with a great load today, so let's just wait patiently," Xiao Baoer coaxed Manman.
She took Tuan Tuan and Man Man into the space while no one was at home, and quickly gave them a bath and changed their clothes.
"Mom, when I grow up, can I go hunting with Dad?"
Tuan Tuan really wanted to go up the mountain with his father and brother, but his father coaxed him into waiting until he was two years older before he could go up the mountain, as children were not allowed to go up the mountain.
"Yes, when you grow up you can go to the mountain, and then dad will take you to do more of the things you want to do."
A child cannot grow up without the company of his father. Tuantuan is more attached to Shen Zhensheng. In his heart, his father is his role model, and whatever his father does is right.
When Xiao Baoer was taking the two children to eat fruit in the shade of the yard, Shen Zhensheng and Shen Zhenjiang came back with the children. They were carrying baskets on their backs, and it was impossible to tell whether they had caught any prey.
"Dad, brother, did you catch any prey?" Tuantuan asked Shen Zhensheng while hugging his thigh.
"I hit you, I hit you, son. Let me go first. I'll go wash my hands and then I'll hug you."
Shen Zhensheng put down the backpack and went to wash his hands and change his clothes. Only after he was clean did he hug Tuan Tuan and Man Man.
"Mom, my uncle-in-law was really good today. He caught two pheasants and two hares. Dad and my uncle-in-law only caught one less pheasant than my uncle-in-law."
Xiao Baoer took a look at the backpack and found that the few people had indeed achieved remarkable results.
"You're awesome! You three are really the adults' little helpers. We can have a good meal today," Xiao Baoer praised the three Dabao brothers.
Several people took the prey to Shen's father and mother's house. If they were to have dinner at Shen Zhensheng's house, the second branch would feel a little embarrassed to go.
But it’s different when eating at my parents’ house. When my parents invite everyone to eat, who dares not come? This way, the second room won’t be embarrassed.
Several people were busy boiling water to process the wild animals, preparing condiments, etc. The division of labor was very clear, and the main goal was to get the food into their mouths as soon as possible.
In addition to pheasant and hare, Xiao Baoer and Shen Xiuxiu also cooked other dishes together. Eating only meat would make you feel greasy, so making some dishes to relieve the greasiness is just right.
"Zhou Zhou, do you want some cucumber?" Xiao Baoer teased Zhou Zhou while holding a cucumber.
"Eat, eat melon," Zhou Zhou threw himself into Xiao Baoer's arms.
Tuantuan and Manman were not jealous when they saw their mother holding Zhou Zhou. They just stayed around their mother and didn't leave. Only after Xiao Baoer let go of Zhou Zhou did they go to play by themselves.
"This spicy rabbit is so delicious," Shen Zhenjiang's mouth turned red from the spiciness, but he couldn't stop eating with his chopsticks.
"Uncle, mom and dad made taro hotpot rabbit again today. You should try it, it's delicious too," Erbao strongly recommended his favorite.
Shen Zhenjiang took a bite and found it was indeed delicious. By the end of the meal, Erbao regretted recommending this dish to everyone, because in the end he didn't even get a few pieces of meat.
After the meal, several people chatted in the yard. Shen's mother also brought out two big watermelons, which were the watermelons Zhou Bao brought back from the town.
In fact, they were watermelons from the batch that Shen Zhensheng sold to him yesterday. Zhou Bao kept two and took them home for everyone to share.
Shen Zhensheng also prepared some grapes and apples, and asked Zhou Bao to give them to Shen's father and mother, and not let Zhou Bao say that they were given by him. Shen's father and mother did not know that Shen Zhensheng was dealing in supplies.
"This watermelon is so sweet and has few seeds," Shen's mother exclaimed as she ate the watermelon.
"The fruits are delicious this year. The weather is getting warmer, and it's good to eat more fruits," said Shin Soo-su as she fed Zhou Zhou watermelon.
"Mom, you eat it," Tuantuan held up the watermelon and let his mother bite the sweetest part of it.
"You're really a good son to your mother," Xiao Baoer took a small bite in order not to disappoint Tuan Tuan.
Xiao Baoer has taught her children very well. Every child knows how to be filial to their elders and respect others. They are also kind-hearted and have empathy without being overly sympathetic. This is very good.
