Chapter: 2145

Leaf Chen nodded slightly, saying, "It looks like that."

Xiao Changkun said with a puzzled expression, "This doesn't make sense. Wu Donghai didn't invest in the Xiao family's company, did he? He even bought them a villa at Tongchen and helped them become rich. So they should be living comfortably, right?"

Xiao Changkun didn't know what had happened these two days. He was even unaware that Ma Lan was kidnapped by his own uncle and cousin, or that Wu Donghai had given up a significant portion of the family's assets and became a dog under Hong Wu.

So, naturally, he wasn't clear about the Xiao family matriarch's situation over the past two days.

Leaf Chen spoke up at this point, saying, "I heard it was because Wu Donghai has already withdrawn his investment."

"Withdrawn his investment?" Xiao Changkun exclaimed in shock, saying, "Wu Donghai is really unreliable. He just says he's withdrawing? Why would he do that? I believe with his assets, he wouldn't worry about investing in the Xiao family group for a little money, right?"

Leaf Chen shrugged and said, "I don't know what's going on with this."

Just as she was saying that, Zhang Guifen grabbed a broom and poked at Grandma Xiao's ankle a few times, saying with disgust, "Get out of my way, you old hag, and stop bothering me while I'm sweeping!"

Grandma Xiao choked back tears and said, "Guifen, the supermarket leader assigned me work here to help customers carry plastic bags. If I don't do it well, I'll be fired. Please don't make things difficult for me, okay?"

Zhang Guifen snickered coldly and said, "I used to respect you, but now you're doing something yourself. You should know what's going on in your own heart. This is called getting what you deserve!"

As she spoke, Zhang Guifen laughed coldly a few times and bit her teeth, saying, "Listen up, old lady. I may not be cultured or from the city, but my bones are hard! And I hate it when people look down on me! Even if you hit me, it's no big deal, but don't degrade me!"

After that, Zhang Guifen put away her broom and went to sweep elsewhere.

Grandma Xiao stood there, getting more and more indignant.

She was deeply distressed and furious in her heart, thinking to herself, "I've been well-taken care of in the Xiao family all these years. When did I ever deserve this kind of mistreatment?! It's just not logical!"

"What's even unacceptable is that I'm already an old woman now, and I still have to do this humiliating temporary work!"

"These years, I've been with the Xiao family, but I never even washed a single tea cup by myself! Now, I'm forced to work at a supermarket, handing out plastic bags for various customers to save them time!"

"But what else can I do if I don't do this?"

"I won't have the opportunity to fill my stomach if I don't do this......"

"At least, working temporarily gives me a hundred bucks a day and a chance to eat at noon......"

"If I didn't do this, whether it's Qian Hongyan or Zhang Guifen, they would never feed me......"

"Sooner or later, won't I starve to death?"

Thinking of this, Grandma Xiao felt deeply wronged and stood alone by the shelf, sobbing uncontrollably.

Xiao Changkun saw this and had a bit of compassion in his heart, opening his mouth to say to Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, I think your grandmother is really pitiful. Unless it's absolutely necessary, she would never come to such a place to work......"

"Ye Chen asked him, 'Dad, do you have any plans?'"

Ye Chen didn't know what was going on in Xiao Changkun's mind at that moment, but seeing him seemed to be somewhat reluctant, he thought maybe Xiao Changkun was thinking about helping Grandma Xiao. JrNovels.com
