Chapter 309 Respect

Regarding family matters, Zhao Xiaojuan originally wanted to listen to Zhao Di and ask Song Tingnan for advice, but then she thought: Tingnan is still a child after all, and she must be busy preparing for the exam. She has settled down now, so she won't bother her.

Working in a hotel is tiring, but she's never had a moment's rest; she can handle all these tasks.

She had thought she wouldn't be able to adapt, but thankfully, people naturally become more thick-skinned as they get older. Zhao Xiaojuan found that she could handle receiving guests and taking orders very naturally and with ease.

Some customers liked to touch her inappropriately, which made her very uncomfortable. Fortunately, there was a male waiter who would serve some customers.

Zhao Xiaojuan wasn't going to tell anyone, but unexpectedly, her two "sister-obsessed sons" told Tingnan everything. "Sister, do you think Song Wanxing went too far? He suspects this and that. Luckily, Aunt came to the county town with us, otherwise we would have suffered a lot."

We all wanted to beat him up, but my dad stopped us. You know, Master Gao is married, and he still… Uncle Song hasn’t even stayed a single night at my house, and he believes all the nonsense people say…”

Song Yanchu had always stayed at Gao Haoran's place or the martial arts school in Yunxiang County to avoid idleness; he never stayed overnight at Song Wanli's house.

"How is Auntie now? Is she settling into the county town?" Song Tingnan on the other end of the phone was also very worried, as she didn't have any vacation time to go home and visit.

She knew that Zhao Xiaojuan was an introverted person. She had been forced to set up a street stall back then because she had no other choice. As her three children grew up, the expenses increased, and she was a strong-willed person who did not want to rely on Song Wanli for everything.

“My mom said it’s okay. She’s working at a hotel now. The salary isn’t high. She does things like serving food, washing dishes, and cleaning. She said she’ll get used to it first.” Song Mingli grabbed the microphone again.

He didn't actually want Zhao Xiaojuan to work there. He went once and saw his mother running around like crazy, while the boss was scolding people rudely. "Brother Nan, it would be great if my mom could find Teacher Jiang, but she doesn't want to bother them, saying things like 'family scandals shouldn't be aired in public.' What do you suggest we do?"

Song Tingnan didn't know what to say. If he asked his godparents for help, they would definitely arrange a light job for him, or even put him directly into his factory.

The garment factory can't do it, but Zhao Xiaojuan is the 'founder' of the plush toy factory, so it's definitely not a problem for her. The problem is that she herself is unwilling to do it.

“Mingli, why don’t we respect your mother’s opinion for now? She’s probably worried that if your uncle goes looking for you, it will affect Teacher Jiang and the others. You and Mingxiang should go to that hotel more often when you have time. If it’s really not good, then tell your aunt to quit. Our family isn’t short of money right now.” Song Tingnan knew Zhao Xiaojuan’s personality; she always put others first. So she didn’t suggest that Zhao Xiaojuan come to the city. With Song Yanchu, her ‘rumored boyfriend,’ here, she definitely wouldn’t come. It would be pointless to say anything.

"Well, that's all we can do. I just don't want her to be so tired." Song Mingli's voice choked up again.

He hated his father even more. He had ruined his good life and made the house noisy every day. Song Mingli didn't expect that something even more explosive was yet to come.

Before Zhao Xiaojuan left, Song Wanxing was so frightened by the 'reporting to the police' that he behaved himself for two days.

As soon as Zhao Xiaojuan disappeared, he reverted to his old ways, chasing after Song Wanli and asking, "Where did Zhao Xiaojuan go? Did you hide her? Did you give her all the money?"

"Are you asking about her or are you concerned about the money? I've told you so many times, and I've even shown you the accounts. She earned a little money, raised three children, and paid off the debts you owed her. Aren't you satisfied? She's just a woman." Song Wanli was truly fed up with his younger brother. His father used to tell him to take care of him, but honestly...
