In fact, Xia Ru didn’t really care whether Li Jin and the others would end up losing money by taking so many clothes because, in essence, that money was invested in Wen Shu.

However, in the presence of Wen Shu, the attendants naturally had to put on a performance.

Otherwise, if Wen Shu got upset, Xia Ru might try to smooth things over by saying something pleasant, and Wen Shu might let her off the hook.

But the attendants weren’t as fortunate. They could very well be scolded by Wen Shu and have their bonuses deducted.

Furthermore, these attendants had long held a grudge against Xia Ru. She would act obedient and sensible in front of the boss, but when the boss wasn’t around, she’d put on an air of arrogance in front of them, treating them as if they were subhuman, almost like slaves.

They had long believed that Xia Ru had poor character. She was a cla.s.sic case of someone with power who lacked manners.

At the same time, they were secretly praying that the boss would quickly grow tired of Xia Ru and replace her with a new lady boss.

They didn’t expect that today, fate would present them with an opportunity. Xia Ru had such a group of shortsighted relatives, and she would undoubtedly be looked down upon by the boss.

In the future, they could even use Xia Ruts relatives to say things that would sow discord between the boss and Xia Ru.

Some of the attendants even thought that their looks weren’t inferior to Xia

Ru’s. As long as they worked hard, they might be able to replace her position.

Li Jin and the others held the packaged clothes and wore satisfied smiles. Then,

Li Jin turned to Wen Shu and said, “Let’s go eat now; I’m hungry.”

“Son-in-law, since you’re so wealthy, why don’t you treat us to the most expensive place in our county?”

Wen Shu gritted his teeth but reluctantly agreed.

Xia Chen and Liu Hua also planned to go along.

“Don’t you have cla.s.ses?” Wen Shu asked them.

Xia Chen smiled and said to Liu Hua, “Go to cla.s.s and help me request a leave.”

He then looked at Wen Shu. “As Xia Ru’s cousin, of course, I should join this meal.”

He pointed at Uncle Chen. “And Uncle Chen came with us this time; he’s been working hard too. Before we leave, I hope you can buy some things for Uncle Chen, like some good wine and cigarettes.”

“That way, when Uncle Chen returns to the village, he can speak highly of you.”

Wen Shu was nearly fuming.

These people were clearly here to exploit him.

Uncle Chen, on the other hand, smiled with his eyes squinted. “Since Xia Chen suggested it, I’ll accept it without hesitation.

“Don’t worry; when I return to the village, I’ll definitely speak well of you. Despite being much older than Xia Ru, you are generous and polite. We’re very satisfied with you.”

Wen Shu was very frustrated, but he had to maintain his composure. He tried to console himself, thinking that these people were just rural folks, while he was a city dweller, making him different from them.

Nevertheless, he held many grievances against Xia Ru.

He believed that Xia Ru was useless when it came to dealing with these relatives. She didn’t know how to save money for him or protect his dignity.

Liu Hua returned to school, while Xia Chen and the others headed to a restaurant in the county town.

Li Jin even specially reserved a private room.

She had only eaten in the dining hall before and hadn’t experienced ordering in a private room.

Now that Wen Shu was treating them, she naturally insisted on reserving a s.p.a.cious private room.

What’s more, Li Jin intentionally left the door to the private room open, hoping that pa.s.sersby would see it.

The waiter brought the menu and asked everyone to place their orders.

Wen Shu politely handed the menu to Li Jin and asked her to make the selections.

Li Jin didn’t hesitate at all. She ordered three meat dishes, all of them the most expensive ones. Song Yan and Chen Lian also chose one meat dish and one vegetable dish each.

Wen Shu was even more frustrated. There were only six of them, and they had already ordered seven dishes.

He couldn’t help but say, “We don’t have that many people. Generally, we’d only need to order five dishes. If we order too much and there are leftovers, it’s wasteful.”

“You’re all farmers, so you know how precious food can be.”

Wen Shu wanted to convince them otherwise, but Li Jin responded, “What’s the harm? Even if we order 18 dishes, we can take the leftovers back to the village.

“I still have two sons at home. They work hard during the day. When they come back at night, they can enjoy some restaurant food..”
