Chapter 408 - 392 Dissatisfaction
Gu father frowned, the events of that day still vivid in his memory.
The two maids in their household had left abruptly, leaving behind a sense of frustration that he could still clearly recall. What was even more suffocating for him and his wife was that, right then and there, they picked up the phone and called their second son. After his wife complained and cursed over the phone for an extended period, the person on the other end of the line changed.
His second son’s wife took the phone and said directly to them that business had been difficult lately, and customers had not paid their debts, so they had no choice but to let the maids take a break for a while. They would revisit the situation in a couple of months. During this period, they would probably have to cut the grocery money in half, and as for pocket money, they would have to put a stop to it for now.
The call was ended, and when he tried calling back, it was his son who answered. He spoke with a helpless tone, saying he was not the head of the household nor did he make the decisions.
After all, their own mother had said that back in the day, the whole family lived just fine crammed into a tiny 20 to 30 square meter house. Now that they were facing difficulties, his elderly parents should also be understanding. Although the household expenses had been temporarily cut in half, it was still enough to feed the family of more than ten. If things continued this way, it was possible that not only would the living expenses be reduced to cover just the two elderly parents, but even the villa might have to be sold and replaced with a small two-bedroom.
Moreover, his second son sighed again, saying if they really didn’t like those two maids and wanted to let them go, then so be it—it would also help to lessen their burden—
His wife had wanted to make a scene at the time, but he preemptively ended the call.
He understood that they were being warned, and they even used his wife’s words to mock them.
