Chapter 176: Chapter 176 Dismissal Chapter 176: Chapter 176 Dismissal Lu Yichen and Stone entered the courtyard, and Stone imdiately said, “Sister Luo Qiao, I just saw my second uncle and his family have co back.”
Luo Qiao replied, “They should be back by now. They stayed in the city hospital for quite a few days.”
After The Second Wife of Sun Family returned, Old Lady Sun looking at the scar on her grandson’s arm, said with heartache, “My Shengyuan has suffered.”
Upon her return, Kong Yuru sat listlessly, and Old Lady Sun asked, “How much did this trip cost us?”
Sun Baoqing said, “Quite a bit.”
Old Lady Sun, not pleased with her second son’s evasive attitude, asked sowhat indignantly, “How much is ‘quite a bit’?”
Sun Baoqing replied, “Around a hundred or so.”
Kong Yuru said, “This ti, Shengyuan has drained what little we had. How are we supposed to get by in the days to co?”
Now, Old Lady Sun was also infuriated, “Whose fault can this be? It’s the evil you’ve brought upon us. You still have the nerve to say that? Not only have you tarnished the Sun Family’s reputation, but you’ve also caused Shengyuan to suffer so greatly.”
After hearing her mother-in-law’s words, Kong Yuru kept her head low and dared not make another peep, instead she blad that bastard in her heart for the trouble—if not for him, she would not have been so impulsive.
Sun Baoqing said, “What’s done is done, let’s not bring it up again.”
Old Lady Sun retorted, “You do wrong and don’t want it brought up, hmph, you’re the ones who have to live with it, an old woman like can’t do much.”
Luo Qiao learned from the villagers’ idle chatter that Sun Shengyuan had spent all the money that Stone’s Mom received, barely managing to save his arm in the city hospital.
Luo Qiao thought to herself, this was retribution.
Retribution was far from over. The next day, when Sun Baoqing went to work at the county, the director told him he was fired. The reason was that he had taken too long a leave, and the position couldn’t be left unattended for so long, so soone else had been assigned to it.
He wanted to argue with the factory leaders, but before reaching their offices, he overheard so functionaries discussing his case, saying things like how he had traded his sister’s life for a job, and his wife had scalded their only little nephew with freshly boiled noodle water, causing serious injury.
Worse still was their refusal to provide dical treatnt. Sun Baoqing and his brothers had embezzled the sister’s compensation without batting an eye, and had pushed the custody of their little nephew onto soone else, utterly heartless.
When Sun Baoqing heard what the little functionary said, he turned ashen and didn’t dare linger any longer, promptly exiting the office building. At a turning corner, he heard the gatekeeper, Grandpa Cheng, talking about him.
“Grandpa Cheng, is what happened with Sun Baoqing really true?”
“How could it be false? Just a few days ago, people from our logistics and canteen overheard it at the market from folks of the Chaoyang Commune. It couldn’t be a lie when everyone is talking about Sun Baoqing from Qingshan Village.”
“This man must have had his conscience eaten by a dog. Bloody hell, he’s no good. Spending money that his sister exchanged with her life, and even his job was bought with his sister’s life, then allowing his wife to bully his sister’s only child, it’s unbearable to witness.”
“Otherwise, why would the factory fire him? Our factory doesn’t lack temp workers to cover long leaves. His character is flawed, and the leaders made that clear themselves.”
Hearing no more than this, Sun Baoqing lost the face to listen further. He turned towards his dormitory to pack his things in preparation to return to the village—he was truly reaping what he had sown.
Now he didn’t even know what people in the village would say about him. He truly wanted to die. After packing his things, he headed towards the factory gate, and the workers he encountered all pointed and whispered about him.
He would occasionally hear soone curse, “Pah, utterly shaless scoundrel, talk about thick-skinned.”
