Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 523 A new development

Actually, a lot of things happened at the same time, Lin Yan who was working in the kitchen came out to look at what was going on but just as he walked out, someone came running and knocked into him. Lin Yan who was carrying a bucket of dirty water in his hands stumbled and dropped the bucket on the ground, as for the person who knocked into him has already rushed past him and was standing in front of Lin Zi like a dog who has found his master at last. " Sister Zi, it's you!"

Lin Zi who entered the house after Su Wan was surprised when a pup like a man came rushing to meet her, she looked at her nephews and carefully tried to remember whether she has forgotten one of them but even after carefully looking at the man in front of her, she knew that she this man in front of her was not one of her nephews, in the end, she stopped thinking and carefully asked, " do I know you?"

Fang Zimo's face turned red as he nodded his head. " Sister Zi, you might not remember me but when you were married, I once came to your house for a banquet and ended up falling from the stairs because someone pushed me, back then you were the one who helped me. You even treated my injuries."

While he was saying all this, his face was getting redder and redder.

Everyone who was watching: "..." ohho, new development and here I /we thought that this guy was a fruity.

" Oh, it's you?" Lin Zi had no recollection of Fang Zimo's face but when Fang Zimo pointed it out so carefully to her, she finally remembered. There was indeed a boy that she helped once after he fell from the stairs. She nodded at him since Lin Zi wasn't used to smiling and said. " you have grown up a lot? The last time, I didn't know that you were friends with my nephews that's why I asked you to call me sister. That was kind of rude of me, you can call me aunt just like my nephews do."

Fang Zimo: "…."

Su Wan and the nephews: "….." ah, this aunt was a blockhead. Wasn't she?

Fang Zimo's entire face turned purple, no one knew whether it was because of anger or embarrassment but he just stared at Lin Zi teary-eyed and rushed back inside. ' Call sister Zi, aunt? He refused.'

Everyone watched him go and then turned to look at Lin Zi who frowned and nodded like she understood something. Just as everyone in the courtyard thought she went through her breakthrough, Lin Zi opened her mouth and said, " Oh, looks like the boy was really happy that he got the permission to call me aunt!"

Everyone: "…." You call that happy? Just how blind are you?

" I don't know who that blind girl is who trusted the wrong man and let him mess with our shops' products," said a salesgirl as she sat on her bed in the servants' quarters at the Zhimei and complained, " Because of her now all of us are going to get into trouble, the old manager was already fired since he couldn't manage the shop properly and turned a blind eye to suspicious people coming in and out and the new manager Li is just too strict, I heard she has been sniffing around to look for the culprit ever since she was appointed. If the manager was sacked for such a small reason I fear to think what will happen to that girl who invited this trouble to our shop."

" She would be sent to Yamen, what else?" Answered her friend with a contemptuous smirk. " Even the manager was sacked off who do you think that girl is? Humph, I already told them that they should stop dreaming and pay attention to work properly but instead they all turned around and went ahead to secretly look for this man and that, now see what happened. One by one all of them are being brought to being questioned and their men who promised that they will look after them all their life, they are declining their relationship with the girls before even entering the office, tsk tsk- and yet those men were the ones who promised that they will redeem them."

The two girls' voices weren't at all small and of course everyone who was sitting inside the quarters could hear what they were saying but the thing was those who were raging were in the wrong and those who were calm thought that whatever the girls were saying was indeed the truth because of these women all of their jobs were on the line. If they could simply save a little of their savings and redeemed themselves! And what was the hurry to quit? Wasn't their boss and big boss nice? Their big boss Su even gave bonuses to them from time to time, compared to other shops their conditions were a lot better but these girls just had to be greedy!

" You! Who are you scolding?" One of the girls who was seeing a man stood up. Her face was red as she glared at the two girls.

" We were speaking to whoever just spoke!"s replied one of the girls viciously. " The boss is so nice and our salary is good too but because of you foolish women we are on the verge of being sacked off! Three hundred copper coins, just to smile and greet the customers, and yet you guys weren't happy? What was the rush? Were you all dying with heat that you looked for men in such a hurry? Now all because of you guys the shop is going to be closed and even if it's not going to be closed, who knows whether or not we will be hired again, you all ate our jobs and now we aren't even allowed to say anything is that it?"

" exactly not only did they look for men, but they also chose the worst kind possible, only a few stayed and the rest heh-if I were you, I wouldn't even show my face here again!"

" You!" The girl who was being scolded was named Jian Yiyi, because she was fair and had a decent appearance she was much more arrogant compared to the rest. She believed that even if she was sold off as a slave there will be a day when she will be able to live a better life! Yet, she was cheated off! No, she refused to believe she was cheated! Anger flared in her heart as she rushed out.

Surprisingly the gates weren't closed, Jian Yiyi ran out because she was in a fluster, she didn't even look behind the two figures that stepped out from the corners.
