Chapter 821 Shumei's Family Being Bullied

The car arrived at the entrance of Mei Ping's courtyard.

It was already close to noon.

The gate was open, and Lu Yao led the way inside.

Inside the house, Yuan Hai, Fan Suzhen, and Yuan Shumei were having lunch.

The food cooked by Yuan Shumei.

The apron was still tied around her neck.

Yuan Hai and Fan Suzhen, the elderly couple, looked worried.

Yuan Hai sighed, "Although I wasn't punished by the higher-ups, I was still removed from my position as factory manager and sent to work as the manager of a smaller factory. My future salary increases will probably be affected."

Fan Suzhen was also troubled:

"You're doing well enough; you can retire in a few more years. But Shumei has been relegated to cleaning in the workshop—isn't that an insult?! It's clearly the Tian family father and son making trouble for her!"

Yuan Shumei, however, maintained her smile.

I don't want my parents to worry:

"Oh, Mom, don't worry about me. Whatever job I hold, I'm still contributing to the country. We just have different jobs; there's no such thing as high or low status. Even sanitation workers get to meet the Chairman!"

Fan Suzhen snorted, "Then I don't want you to sweep the floor either. Our former comrades will laugh at us!"

Yuan Hai slammed his hand on the table angrily: "Stop talking! You've made our daughter angry even though she wasn't! If you have a solution, tell us; if not, shut up!"

Fan Suzhen glared at him:

"What's the point of banging on the table and glaring at me? If it were up to me, I'd go find Xiao Lu and have him help Shumei get justice! Why is it that a skilled and advanced worker like her is relegated to sweeping the workshop floor?!"

Just then, Lu Yao stepped in, one foot inside and one foot outside the door:

"Who went down to the workshop to sweep the floor?"

When Yuan Shumei's family saw that it was Lu Yao, they were overjoyed.

Get up and offer your seat.

At this moment, Yuan Hai did not have a favorable impression of Lu Yao, but rather held him in high esteem.

If it weren't for Lu Yao, he wouldn't have been able to avenge his father's death; he would have been forced to commit murder and arson by that old scoundrel Jin Wanliang long ago.

Now that revenge has been taken, the bad things I was forced to do in the past have been put on hold.

It was as if Lu Yao had given him a chance to be reborn.

Yuan Shumei looked at Lu Yao, smiled, and pulled up a chair for him to sit next to her.

Lu Yao then asked what he meant by what he had just said.

They felt they weren't outsiders with the Yuan family, so they didn't stand on ceremony.

Yuan Hai then mentioned returning to work:

Although the police have not pursued the matter of him escaping after beating the guard, the fact that his father is the notorious bandit Jin Wanliang has spread.

During a meeting at the bureau, one official believed that he was no longer suitable for a leadership position.

I originally intended to dismiss him completely and make him a factory worker.

Fortunately, Hao Limin put in a good word for him, and he was given another job as a small factory manager.

Send Yuan Hai to the logging station in Jiapigou as the factory manager.

The original factory manager was transferred back.

Fan Suzhen then discussed the allocation of Yuan Shumei.

Logically speaking, Jin Wanliang's matter shouldn't have affected Shumei, but Director Tian deliberately caused trouble.

They said that Yuan Shumei's grandfather was a bandit, so she shouldn't be given important responsibilities.

She was allowed to sweep the floor, and even the men's restroom was her responsibility to clean.

Although Yuan Shumei felt wronged, she still forced a smile:

"Oh, it's nothing. It's good to be a little tired; it's good exercise."

Lu Yao laughed heartily, "I thought it was nothing serious. Uncle Yuan, why don't we go to Jiapigou? We're all old acquaintances there. I still hold the title of deputy factory director, don't I? Wouldn't it be better if we worked together?"

Yuan Hai smiled and said, "That's true."

Lu Yao looked at Yuan Shumei again:

"Come down here, quit your job. I'll support you."

One sentence made Yuan Shumei's face turn as red as burning coals.

He hesitated for a moment, then kicked Lu Yao under the table:

"What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't you afraid Xiao Meizi will beat you up?"

With her parents around, she didn't dare ask how Ding Mei had dealt with Lu Yao that day.

At that time, information was scarce. She had taken Lu Yao and Ding Mei away that day and did not know that they had been missing for several days.

Lu Yao reached out and squeezed Yuan Shumei's small hand from below:

"Shumei, what I mean is, you should come to my winery and help me manage it with Grandpa Zuo. When the government loosens its policies in the future, we can take over the winery."

This is a bit ahead of its time; the Yuan family doesn't quite understand it.

However, the general idea is clear: Lu Yao wants them all to go to Jiapigou and live together.

Yuan Shumei hesitated somewhat when she said this.

She was unwilling to give up her job, which was originally in a local state-owned enterprise, and be sent to work as a temporary laborer in the countryside.

Don't be fooled by her smiling and nonchalant attitude towards her parents; she's actually furious inside.

Not only did Factory Director Tian ostracize her, but even Tian Xiwei bullied her.

Yesterday, she was cleaning the men's restroom when this guy went in, unzipped his pants, and peed.

They even made sarcastic remarks, treating her like she was not human at all.

At that time, Yuan Shumei wanted to hide, but Tian Xiwei stopped her again and asked her if she wanted to go back to work in the office.

If you want, agree to date him.

Yuan Shumei knew that this kid just wanted to play with her.

He immediately swung a broom to hit him before rushing out.

Tian Xiwei told her from behind that she should never have a good life at the winery again.

She dared not tell these things to her parents, as they could not control the Tian family father and son and would only cause them more trouble.

He could only keep it to himself.

She enjoyed being with Lu Yao when she went to Jiapigou, but she couldn't bear to part with her work relationship with him.

And there's another thing, which is that Lu Yao kissed me last time and Ding Mei caught him. How am I supposed to face Xiao Meizi if I go again?

So, after thinking it over, I shook my head:

"I won't go. I'm doing fine at the distillery."

Lu Yao knew her concerns, so he didn't say much to her.

I picked up my chopsticks and had a meal with the Yuan family.

After dinner, Fan Suzhen went to work, while Yuan Hai went to complete the handover procedures.

Only Lu Yao and Yuan Shumei remained.

As soon as the elderly couple stepped outside, Lu Yao pulled Yuan Shumei close, pinched her nose, and asked:

"Why don't you go to Jiapigou? Are you not going to be friends with me anymore?"

Yuan Shumei laughed and pinched his inner thigh to break his hold:

"I'm not going. Xiao Meizi already suspects us."

Lu Yao laughed and said, "What if I told you that Xiao Meizi agreed to let you date me?"

"Nobody would believe that!"

Lu Yao knew that no matter how much he pleaded, Yuan Shumei wouldn't believe him.

He said, "Okay, let me ask you, if Xiao Meizi comes to pick you up in person, will you go?"

Yuan Shumei bit her lip: "If Xiao Meizi accepts me, I'd be willing to go, but... what about my work situation?"

"How about I help you transfer your job and move your records to Shuiling Commune?"

Lu Yao knows how deeply people are attached to formal jobs these days.

At that time, there was no such thing as unpaid leave, and there was no freedom in work; everyone had to obey the arrangements of the state.

Workers must obey unified assignments; if they want to transfer to another system, they must go through layers of approval.

Lu Yao was confident that he could use his connections to transfer Yuan Shumei's employment relationship to Shuiling Commune.

Then they were allocated to Jiapigou Winery.

This way, the working relationship won't be lost, and we can still work together legitimately.

Thinking of the Tian family father and son's faces, Yuan Shumei nodded and said:

"If I can keep my job, I don't care where I work."

Lu Yao reached out and patted her shoulder: "Then it's settled. You don't need to go to work anymore, just stay home and wait for me to transfer you to a different job."

Yuan Shumei quickly shook her head: "No, I'm already late. If I don't go, not only will my salary be docked, but I'm also afraid that Tian Xiwei will make trouble for me and humiliate me at the meeting."

"He wouldn't dare! A petty thug trying to stir up trouble. I haven't even bothered him yet after he caused trouble in Jiapigou last time."

Yuan Shumei got up and got dressed:

"Forget it, I don't want to mess with him. I'd better go to work first, and we can talk about it after you've sorted out the relationship."

Lu Yao couldn't bear to see his woman humiliated.

Reach out and press down on her shoulder:

"You stay home, I'll go to the winery to ask for sick leave for you."

"no."

"No problem at all. Just wait."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out.

Before they could go out, a man came in; it was Tian Xiwei, the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee of the liquor factory.
