The days were hectic and fulfilling, and Hualing still hadn't returned. It was a weekend, and Cheng Su was finally at home resting, only to be met with the arrival of her Elder Sister.
Her eyes were red, her face haggard, and her complexion a bit pale. Upon inquiry, it turned out Qi Fenglian only then learned that Zhang Jisheng had long been dismissed.
"...I just found it strange. In the past, he would rush off to work in the morning, but lately, even when I've left, he hasn't gone out. It was only after a few days of asking that I found out he'd been let go," Qi Fenglian sobbed.
Upon hearing that Zhang Jisheng had been dismissed, it felt to Qi Fenglian like a thunderbolt had crashed over her head, leaving her mind buzzing.
Such a good job, with such high pay—although Zhang Jisheng's salary was handed over to the family, at least it kept her mother-in-law's mouth shut. But now it's gone, where would she find money to silence her mother-in-law?
