Chapter 535: Chapter 535: A Fierce Determination
Yang Qing chuckled, "No rush, I found a temporary worker to fill in for her."
Yi Chichi was dumbfounded, and Qin Jiu and Wen’s mother weren’t any better.
"Where are there so many temporary workers for her to do?"
"When it rains, and a mother wants to have a baby, even the factory manager can’t stop someone from having a child."
Got it, another pregnant woman in the late stages.
Yi Chichi was a bit puzzled, "Why are there so many pregnant women in your factory?"
"It’s not just our factory, Old Ji’s factory isn’t doing any better."
Speaking of which, she looked around to see that there was no outsider, just them, then she whispered, "Those who aren’t pregnant now are all hurrying to conceive."
"Why?"
Qin Jiu couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked.
Wen Yi thought he was talking to him and looked at him with a face full of confusion.
"I wasn’t asking you, you keep grinding your teeth."
Whether he understood or not, Yi Chichi saw him really look away and continue to use his gums, those few small millet teeth wrestling with the teething biscuit in his hand.
Yang Qing praised him for being really obedient, then lowered her voice to give an answer.
"Family planning."
That wasn’t very surprising.
Yi Chichi’s face was full of question marks, "It’s been going on for a long time, you just found out?"
"I know."
Yang Qing looked bewildered, "But people didn’t really talk about this topic before."
Yi Chichi, "..."
"Now people are talking about it."
But that’s not the point, the point is—
"Don’t worry about that, I’m just asking you, wouldn’t suddenly having so many pregnant women delay your factory’s production?"
"It definitely would."
Training a skilled worker takes time, pregnant women can work during the early stages, but you can’t be inhumane and make them come back to work right after giving birth.
So, during the postpartum recovery period, finding a temporary worker to take over becomes a necessity.
But temporary workers are inexperienced, they need time to master the production process of machinery and products, it’s not something they can just pick up and do immediately.
Still, there’s no way around it, "Nothing is more important than having a baby."
This is true.
Wen’s mother laughed, "According to you, Yu Ting won’t be short of work anytime soon."
"Exactly."
Yang Qing was delighted, "She can cover for several temporary workers, and by then people should be trained, and my task is half done."
Speaking of tasks, Yi Chichi recalled something, "Has she written a letter or made a phone call home since she’s been here?"
Yang Qing immediately understood what she meant.
This was wanting to know what happened back home after Yu Ting left.
Talking about this got her interested, "My old lady said Tingting left by bus in the morning, and in the afternoon, her parents came to my house causing a scene, demanding her back."
Recalling her mother’s words, she chuckled, "But my old lady has never had a good temper, if you speak nicely to her, out of politeness, she’ll be good to you too, but if you try to cross her, she’ll be fiercer than you."
With her hands spread, she wore an expression of pure satisfaction, "So my mother drove them out with an axe, even told them not to come again, saying she doesn’t have such siblings-in-law who sell their daughters, and if they dared to come again, she’d chop them up."
Yi Chichi, "..."
Madam Yang’s tactics are quite fierce.
However, "I suppose it won’t be much use."
Parents willing to sell several daughters for a son are thick-skinned and mentally tough.
Madam Yang’s actions might scare them temporarily, but lasting peace seems unlikely.
As it turns out, her judgment was correct, because Yang Qing said, "They were scared at the time, but they came back the next day. My mother didn’t chop them as she said she would, but she did break my aunt and uncle’s arms and legs."
Wen’s mother was flabbergasted, "Your mom went against two and managed to injure them both?"
"My dad took her side."
Which implied that her dad supported and protected her mother, so her mom was able to successfully take down the two of them.
"After their arms and legs were broken, they went to the hospital, and I’ve heard they’re still there."
As she said this, she rubbed her face, "Now I have a worry, my mom wants me to tell Yu Ting about this and see what she says. But I think her life has finally started to see some light, it wouldn’t be good to tell her."
Looking at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she asked earnestly, "Aunt, Chichi, do you think I should listen to my mom?"
This is really a good question...
Wen’s mother and Yi Chichi exchanged a knowing glance and responded in unison, "It’s up to you."
Don’t ask them.
Even if you asked, it would be in vain, they wouldn’t help come up with an idea.
Firstly, this is something between Yang Qing and her sister, whether to tell or not, the decision rests with Yang Qing.
Secondly, if they tell and Yu Ting remains clear-headed, then all is well.
But if she becomes muddled, then it’s not all well, it becomes a heap of trouble.
In the end, it might not just be Yang Qing who feels troubled, they might end up with a mess for pitching in with advice.
Human nature is too complex, without absolute certainty, it’s better not to get involved in someone else’s affairs.
Yang Qing probably didn’t expect to get an answer from them, Wen Sheng didn’t continue the topic, had a few more idle chats, drank a cup of tea, and took her leave.
As soon as she left, Qin Jiu softly said, "I feel like Aunt Yang will tell her sister."
"That’s still their business."
Wen’s mother stroked her hair, gently saying, "We’ve done what we should," referring to the care and guidance they had given Yu Ting, "If her mind is still unclear and she can’t let go of her feelings for her parents, there’s nothing we can do."
"But still..."
"What?"
Wen’s mother’s suspenseful pause made Yi Chichi and Qin Jiu both look at her intently. Seeing their eager eyes, she smiled, "That Yu Ting has a bit of fierceness in her, a strong sense of self-preservation."
Without a strong sense of self-preservation, she wouldn’t have managed to escape in the dead of night when she found out her parents were going to sell her.
Without a bit of fierceness, she wouldn’t have had the guts to cross mountains and ridges.
It’s important to know that forested mountains at night are extremely dangerous, yet this girl overcame those difficulties and successfully got away.
This clearly shows she’s got something about her.
