The Stepmother’s Counterattack: Raising a Child in a Bygone Era

"Wenping is not like us; we rely on our salary to live, but even if a person loses their job, they still have their man to support them."

There were limited spots available in the factory, and with one less Pei Wenping, the competition would be slightly reduced.

Pei Wenping was calmly knitting, completely treating all the various discussions as if they were just the wind by her ears.

The factory had been shut down for several days by now, but everyone still showed up every day as usual, in order to receive the latest information firsthand.

"Wenping, why aren’t you saying anything? Are you staying or leaving?"

Being nudged by a coworker, Pei Wenping lifted her eyelids, "Who knows, we’ll see. What’s meant to come will come, and what’s meant to go, you can’t keep."

Perceiving the sarcasm in her words, the coworker awkwardly changed the topic to something else.
