Chapter 103 Severing Father-Daughter Relationship
In this way, Zhaoyuan not only solved the current problem of insufficient pork supply, but also successfully established a stable supply channel.
At the same time, Zhaoyuan's pig farm also started construction smoothly as originally planned.
The business of ham sausages and braised pork offal is booming, with demand exceeding supply every day.
Zhaoshi Food Factory is recruiting again, expanding from 10 to 20 people, and will start working in two shifts. They also plan to recruit two marketing personnel to be responsible for market development.
One day, Zhao Yuan returned home from the fireworks company. Before he even entered his house, he could hear a commotion coming from his yard, and someone was loudly cursing.
He quickened his pace and approached the courtyard, where he saw his father-in-law, whom he rarely saw for months, sitting in the middle of the yard, a pipe dangling from his lips, legs crossed, muttering curses incessantly:
“You unfilial daughter! I raised you to adulthood, and you live in such a nice house. Your family owns such a big company. I asked you to arrange jobs for your two nephews, two cousins, and brother-in-law, and you keep making excuses. If you don’t arrange them properly today, I’m not leaving until you’ve arranged their jobs.”
Zhao Yuan frowned and strode to his own yard. He saw Lin Fangfang standing silently to the side, looking like a wronged child.
At this moment, Uncle Zhong came over, brewed a cup of tea, and served it to his father-in-law, saying:
"Brother Lin, have a cup of tea and let's talk this out. Fangfang can't make decisions about the company. Although the company is owned by Zhaoyuan, the daily expenses are huge. You should also think about them."
"Inviting so many people is the same whether you ask others to do the work or you ask your own family members. Why not invite your own family members? You're an ingrate and an unfilial son."
The father-in-law sat motionless in the chair, refusing to accept the tea that Uncle Zhong offered.
"Brother Lin, let's talk this out. The kids have it tough too. Please calm down and let's talk when Zhaoyuan comes back."
Uncle Zhong stood aside and tried to persuade him.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and cook! I'll beat you to death! Your belly is not only uncooperative but also so clueless. No wonder your husband looks down on you and doesn't hire family members."
As he spoke, the father-in-law reached for his shoes and threw them at Lin Fangfang.
Lin Fangfang instinctively dodged.
Zhao Yuan quickly stepped forward and pulled Lin Fangfang behind him, glaring angrily at his father-in-law, "Dad, what are you doing! Can't you talk things out instead of resorting to violence?"
Seeing this, the father-in-law became even more arrogant, "What, you dare to stop me from disciplining my daughter? Let me tell you, if this matter isn't resolved for me today, I'm not done with you!"
Zhao Yuan sneered, "Dad, don't forget, this is my and Fangfang's home, not a place where you can throw a tantrum. If your nephews and nieces are capable, they should go out and find jobs themselves, instead of always thinking about using connections to get in. Our company has its own hiring standards; not just anyone can get in."
After saying that, Zhao Yuan turned to Lin Fangfang and said:
"Fangfang, go inside and rest for a bit. I'll take care of things here."
Lin Fangfang nodded, gave Zhao Yuan a grateful look, and went back into the house.
Looking at his father-in-law's unreasonable demeanor, Zhao Yuan felt a surge of anger. He couldn't help but shout:
"Dad, Fangfang gave birth to Nana four months ago, and this is the first time you've come to visit her and the baby. Since she got married, has anyone in your family ever really cared about how she's doing? Not only do you not care about her, but you always blame her for not being able to conceive. Isn't this just rubbing salt into her wounds? She's your own daughter! You've gone too far!"
The father-in-law, however, disagreed and retorted:
"Just because she can't conceive doesn't mean others can't talk about it! I'm here today to ask you to help me find jobs for five of my relatives. There's no room for discussion on this!"
Zhao Yuan's eyes widened, and he asked incredulously:
"Do you know whether she's doing well or not?"
The father-in-law replied nonchalantly:
"She couldn't give birth to a son, so it's understandable that her husband would beat and scold her. What can we do about it?"
“Father-in-law, I respect that you are an elder, but that doesn’t mean you can be unreasonable.”
Zhao Yuan's tone was firm.
"It is only right that Fangfang and I show you respect, but that doesn't mean we have to meet all your unreasonable demands. I really can't help you with work-related matters."
“I’m not talking to you, Fangfang. You unfilial daughter, come out here! You’ve become so self-sufficient that you don’t care about your nephews anymore. Next time Zhaoyuan beats you to death, we won’t care.”
The father-in-law angrily cursed in the yard.
“Dad, when have you ever cared about me? When have you ever cared whether I live or die? Nana is almost four months old. If it weren’t for work, would you have come to see us today? You came in and immediately started working, without even glancing at Nana.”
Lin Fangfang opened the door and said, crying.
"He's just another money-loser, what's there to see? I think it's the same whether I watch it or not, so what's the point? You were the one who shamelessly insisted on marrying this ingrate back then, and now your belly is failing you, you deserve to be beaten to death."
The father-in-law became increasingly angry as he spoke.
"Brother Lin, saying things like that will hurt the child's feelings. We can talk things over."
Seeing that the argument was getting bigger and bigger, Uncle Zhong stepped forward to persuade his father-in-law.
“You are my own daughter. I can scold and beat you however I want. I don’t have to arrange a job for you. Just give me money. Give me 1000 yuan today, and I’ll pretend I never raised you as my daughter.”
The father-in-law became even more enthusiastic when he saw someone trying to persuade him.
“Fine, I’ll borrow the 1000 yuan and give it to you. From now on, just pretend you don’t have a daughter like me. Over the years, none of you have ever cared about my life or death. My life was a little better when Xuefang told me she would arrange a job, and we did. Now you want me to arrange jobs for the whole family? We can’t do that. Don’t you know what kind of people your own family members are? They’re lazy and good-for-nothing all day long. We hire people to do things, we don’t support idlers. Our money is earned by Zhaoyuan working hard from dawn till dusk. What right do you have to ask him to support so many idlers for you?”
Lin Fangfang was so angry that she could hardly breathe. Finally, she mustered up the courage to say what she had kept in her heart for years.
"Fine, you unfilial daughter, quickly give me 1000 yuan, and I will sever our father-daughter relationship."
Upon hearing this, the father-in-law raised his voice even louder.
“1000 yuan is not a small amount. We don’t have that much money. I will give it to you in installments, 100 yuan a month for 10 months. After that, nothing else matters to us.”
Lin Fangfang had already walked into the yard, crying very sadly, but she was still rational. Her father was a typical sexist who favored sons over daughters and was also a gambling addict. If she gave him so much money all at once, he would lose it all very quickly.
