Chapter 124 -124 Resignation

After the Police Station learned about the incident, they dispatched additional personnel to investigate the whereabouts of Jiang Dong and his wife.

But now is not an era when everything requires a reference letter, I’m afraid they might have already run off without a trace.

Jiang Nan, on hearing this, both laughed and cried; this was her dear younger brother, who ran faster than a rabbit as soon as trouble arose.

Even their mother clearly distanced herself from it all, vehemently denying any involvement.

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”

Jiang Nan was so angry her chest hurt, “Comrades, I’ve confessed honestly. Every time my mother came to help my brother get a voucher, I just issued the voucher.

How it was sold and where it went, I really had no idea. Moreover, my mother and brother never mentioned any of this to me.

My mother gave me less than 300 yuan in total because she always said she was saving it up for me, to prevent me from spending it all at once.

I thought that made sense, and she is my own mother, she couldn’t possibly harm me, so I never inquired about it.”

The person across from her was expressionless, “Your mother didn’t say that…”

Jiang Nan, looking haggard, went home and threw herself onto the bed and wept.

Brother Lu probably guessed something and sighed as he silently handed his wife a damp towel to wipe her face.

“The situation has already reached this point, crying won’t solve anything. Let’s face it together. Do you have any idea how much the illicit trading might have totaled?

Let’s see if we have enough money at home, and if not, I’ll think of a way to come up with the rest.”

Jiang Nan, stifling sobs, had a mind filled with mush, “I don’t know, but I guess it might have been around 2,000 or 3,000 yuan.”

“Okay, I got you.”

Watching the man who always stood tall now hunched over, counting the money in the house, Jiang Nan regretted it so much her guts turned green.

What foolish things had she done? If her actions caused her husband to lose his job, what would she do?

The next day, hearing her husband’s name being removed from the list of those planned to go to the Capital for training, Jiang Nan’s heart dropped to the bottom of a valley.

This was a training opportunity in the Capital, and without this chance, it essentially blocked her husband’s path to a higher level.

Jiang Nan didn’t know how to face the man who had always cherished her and let her have her way, as she silently wept and stared.

Afraid of the pointing fingers and whispers in the Family Court, Jiang Nan only went to fetch water early in the morning or late at night to avoid encountering people.

County

Father Lu and Mrs. Lu were worried about their eldest son and, fearing that calling would disturb him, had hardly slept in their concern.

Over several days, the elderly couple visibly aged.

Susu, concerned about their health and unable to convince them not to worry, tried her best to cook nourishing meals and brew soups to strengthen them.

Even the usually cheerful and playful sisters didn’t seem so lively this time around.

“Auntie, will my parents be okay?”

Xiao Yu furrowed her small brows, her little face full of worry.

Xiao Xue, being very young and not understanding, only knew to follow her sister’s lead in shedding tears and sighing.

Susu stroked the little heads of the sisters, softly consoling, “Let the adults handle adult matters. Thinking too much as a child will stop you from growing tall.

Come on, go play with your brothers. Your parents will come to pick you up after a while, so you should make the most out of this time to play with your siblings.”

“Okay.”

…

Susu was also troubled, having to console the young and the old alike.

“Mom, don’t worry too much. The moment my brother and sister-in-law have any news, they will definitely call us. Worrying at home won’t help.”

Mrs. Lu sighed, “I know all that, but I just can’t help worrying. If only… I won’t think nonsense anymore, what if everything turns out fine?”

“Alright, if you and the kids have dirty clothes that need washing, take them out. The water out in the yard is almost hot enough; I’ll go wash the clothes.”

Mrs. Lu said as she got off the kang to put on her shoes.

“Mom, you rest. I’ll go wash.”

“No need, no need, the more I lie down, the messier my head gets. Better to do some work, keep myself from daydreaming.”

Susu thought this made sense and got up to fetch a few dirty clothes for the little ones. Triplet can change clothes eight hundred times a day, their clothes never stay clean for more than three seconds.

“Hey, Pingping, An’an, Lele, you three little rascals, don’t bully Da Hei.”

As soon as Susu came out, she saw the three tykes hugging Da Hei, riding on him, and she scooped up a chubby little girl, her hand still clutching a tuft of black dog fur.

She smacked the little chubby girl’s bottom with annoyance, “No riding on the dog, stop bullying Da Hei or I’ll spank you.”

“Hehe, Mommy, hug.”

The little girl wasn’t afraid at all, wrapping her arms around her mother’s neck with a giggly smile.

Susu kissed her with exasperation, “A kiss and it’s all better, go play on your own.”

“Mommy, kiss Pingping.”

“And An’an too, Mommy kiss kiss.”

Seeing their sister kissed, the two little boys puffed up their chubby cheeks wanting a kiss too.

Susu kissed them each and only then the triplets contently went to play on their own.

“Come here, Da Hei.”

Susu led a woebegone Da Hei over, fed him some meat, and patted the dog’s head for being bullied by the triplets again.

“You’ve had it tough, Da Hei. Next time, run faster.”

“Woof~”

Da Hei gobbled up the food and lay down by Susu’s feet to sleep with his eyes half-closed.

——

The verdict at the factory came in, Brother Lu got a demerit and a major penalty.

They still had to pay for the damages at the factory, nearly 3,000 yuan.

Jiang Nan cried like the tears didn’t cost money, not stopping for a moment.

“What are we going to do?”

Brother Lu got a headache from all the crying and a bit impatiently shouted, “Can you stop crying?”

“Sorry, I’m just really frustrated.”

Realizing his tone was harsh, Brother Lu quickly softened his voice and sighed deeply.

“There’s only about 1,800 yuan at home. I’ll go to the second and third brothers to borrow money with an IOU. You stay home.”

Jiang Nan was taken aback, thinking that they were all family, not strangers, and an IOU seemed unnecessary.

But considering the mess she had caused, she didn’t dare argue further, afraid of angering her husband.

Brother Lu thought a lot on his way, now with a demerit and a major penalty, he feared his future was…

Lu Xiaoting and Third Brother Lu didn’t say a word and immediately gathered money for their brother, urging him to just speak up if anything comes up, as the brothers needed to discuss things together.

As soon as Brother Lu got the money, he went straight back to the factory to pay it.

Facing all the gossiping factory workers along the way, Brother Lu couldn’t bear to stay any longer and tendered his resignation.

“Xiao Lu, you mustn’t be rash, this is already in the past, you just need to–”

“Brother Hu, I’m not being impulsive. I’ve thought this through. The loss the factory suffered was because of me. If it wasn’t for me, my wife wouldn’t have been in that position. She wouldn’t have had the opportunity to cause the factory any loss.”

…

“How did it go?”

Seeing him return, Jiang Nan asked anxiously.

“Yeah, it’s settled.”

Brother Lu nodded, and before Jiang Nan could breathe a sigh of relief, he added, “I’ve quit. I’m planning to go down south to find work.”

“What?”

“Yeah, I’ve decided already. Are you staying to look after the kids or coming with me?”
