Chapter 398 Fire Bull Formation(3)_1
Bao Family’s wife looked towards the direction of the Lin Family, her eyes filled with malevolence. Her husband was still uncontactable, leaving her with two children to look after. The livelihood of the three-person family all depended on her, a woman expected to conform to traditional gender roles. To make things worse, she couldn’t even get work at the money-making workshop run by the Lin Family. Thinking of the heartlessness of the main house, she felt discontented with everyone she saw, feeling as if they all owed her something.
Mrs. Yan felt as if the sky was falling. Her highly valued second son unexpectedly failed the examination, which she couldn’t accept, and now, unimaginably, the head of the household, her husband Ma Dalang, was also let go by his employer the day before. These past few years, Mrs. Yan lived comfortably. On what did she rely? It was all thanks to Ma Dalang serving as one of the store managers in the city. Now that Ma Dalang had been dismissed, how could she lead a good life? Mrs. Yan was at a loss!
"You were doing so well, why were you fired?" She relentlessly pursued Ma Dalang for an answer.
Ma Dalang looked deflated. He was already upset, and seeing Mrs. Yan’s incessant questioning made him even more irritated. "How was I fired? How would I know, I don’t own the shop."
"How could you not know? Were you fired because you did not work diligently?" Mrs. Yan, feeling upset, angrily pointed and interrogated him. "I didn’t work diligently?" Ma Dalang was most annoyed when others mentioned his losing the store manager’s job. Mrs. Yan’s ceaseless prattling had completely turned him off. "I practically gave my all to the shop year-round. The boss ruined the business due to incompetence, why are you blaming me?"
Truth be told, Ma Dalang being dismissed was not due to his shortcomings. A large family depended on his earnings for survival, and he knew too well how crucial his job was. However, his efforts were futile. Not only was there a higher-ranking store manager over him, but also a boss behind the scenes.
Unfortunately, the old boss passed away not long ago, the careless young boss gambled so much that he squandered the shop’s assets in just a few months.
