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

"Zhou Brother, I went out for a bit yesterday afternoon..."

Seeing Zhou Shuhuan’s brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a mosquito, Qiao Ya hurriedly explained, "It was Sister Lan who came to find me. She said she felt unwell and asked me to go out to buy her medicine. I was so anxious to get the medicine, and thinking that she was in the office, I didn’t take the keys with me."

Although Zhou Shuhuan didn’t believe that this matter had anything to do with Shen Baolan, he still called her to the office.

When informed of the missing important documents, Shen Baolan naturally denied any involvement.

"I didn’t touch anything, you’re the one who’s always losing things. Don’t you pin this on me."

Qiao Ya cried her eyes out, "Sister Lan, please think carefully. Has anyone else entered the office? These contracts and delivery orders are very important to the factory. If we can’t find them, it doesn’t matter if I lose my job, but the factory might face a huge loss!"

Shen Baolan sniffed, "What’s the use of crying now? You couldn’t even look after important things like these, who would trust you with their work in the future?"

"Before you came to find me yesterday afternoon, the contracts and delivery orders were all still here..."

"What are you implying? Are you suspecting me of stealing? Am I sick to steal from my own family?"

After scolding Qiao Ya, Shen Baolan turned to complain to Zhou Shuhuan, "Look at the kind of people you hire. She can’t even do her job properly, and she dares to throw the blame on me, the boss’s wife. If you keep her around, I’m afraid one day she’ll even dare to ride roughshod over you!"
