The old man’s expression turned even darker as he coldly looked at his eldest daughter-in-law. 

Zhu Yuzhen lowered her head so low that it nearly touched her belly button.

Seeing her guilty and panicked demeanor, the old man knew exactly what was going on. 

Seeing this, the old man’s barely suppressed anger flared up again.  

“I will ask one more time, did you take a leave or skip work? Tell me the truth! If I find out you’re lying, then you can just go straight back to the countryside to farm!” 

The Old man’s roar shook the house. 

Zhu Yuzhen was so scared that her legs became weak and she almost fell to the ground. 

She was sweating profusely. Instinctively, she looked at her son for help, but Gu Jianshe deliberately turned his head away, pretending not to see anything. 

Panicked and disappointed, Zhu Yuzhen was bewildered, and she had no choice but to admit, “I…… I didn’t take a leave. But Dad…… It’s not just me. Other workers also did it, and no one cares about it.” 

“Bang!” 

The old man kicked the door, making the poor wooden panel tremble pitifully, just like Zhu Yuzhen. 

“I don’t care what others do, but my Gu family members must abide by the laws and work honestly! That’s how we repay the wages the state pays us! Zhu Yuzhen, you’ve really got some nerve! You’ve disgraced me completely!”  

Gu Huainian glared at her fiercely and stormed off in fury. 

Zhu Yuzhen stared blankly at her son, was the old man letting this go…… or not? 

“Gu Jianshe, are you happy to spread rumors about me?” 

Gu Ye bent down and grinned at his nephew. 

Before Gu Jianshe could react, a slap landed on his face. Then followed by another slap. 

His ears were buzzing, and all he could hear was only his stupid mother’s scream. 

“If you weren’t my nephew, I would have finished you off. In the future, please keep your damn mouth! And if I hear you spewing nonsense again, I will send you to Country T to become a ladyboy!”  

After a round of beatings, Gu Jianshe’s body is fully wrecked. 

His old wounds hadn’t even healed, and the new wounds had been added. 

He lay on the bed like a corpse, extremely miserable.  

Gu Ye sneered and swaggered away, with Zhu Yuzhen’s crying and cursing coming from behind. 

He went to the factory director’s office to find the old man. 

He knew that his old man wouldn’t let this matter go. 

What the old man hated the most was abusing power for personal gain. 

Zhu Yuzhen had been using his name for decades, running rampant in the textile factory. Her good days were finally over now. 

As expected, Old Mr. Gu confronted the director and summoned his eldest son, Gu Jiefang. 

The director didn’t recognize the old man, but he knew that Gu Jiefang’s father was someone with great importance, so he received him with great respect, not daring to neglect him. 

“My daughter-in-law Zhu Yuzhen, how has she performed at the factory these years? Tell me the truth. If you lie, then I will report you to Minister Liu and have you removed from your position!” Old Mr. Gu said coldly. 

The Minister Liu he mentioned was the head of Shanghai’s Textile Bureau. All textile factories in Shanghai were under the jurisdiction of the Textile Bureau. 

When the factory director heard this, he panicked and naturally dared not lie, but he also dared not offend Gu Jiefang. 

After all, this was a family matter of the Gu family. The old man might be stern now, but blood was thicker than water. 

Just a few words from his son later, and he might soften. The director didn’t want to play as the villain.  

So he said…… 

“Sir, please wait a moment, I will call the warehouse supervisor to report the details to you.” 

The director passed his responsibility to the warehouse supervisor, and asked the secretary to go fetch the supervisor.

The warehouse supervisor was a slippery old fox* as well. 

What the factory director had thought of, he had naturally considered too. 

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he forced a smile and said, “I’m not too sure about the specific situation either. Let me call Comrade Zhu Yuzhen’s direct leader here. Sir, you can ask her directly.”
