Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 203

Chapter 203: Chapter 203: I Just Have to Get Involved

Bamboo Weaving Factory.

Outside the factory director’s office.

Three groups of people.

One group was Jiang Cheng and his two companions, with the bamboo weaving factory director standing in the middle. On the other side were the director’s parents.

A few colleagues stood around, wanting to help but feeling helpless.

The old lady with graying hair, who was also the director’s biological mother, was hunched over and weeping uncontrollably, listing her hardships.

"Oh, my eldest... You were not healthy since childhood, and I stayed up countless nights caring for you. I worked and cooked while carrying you, never daring to take my eyes off you."

"If it weren’t for you, would my back have bent this early!"

"You wanted to eat fish, and in the dead of winter, I fished in the icy waters, and my hands blistered every winter because of it."

"All these years, I couldn’t bear to eat even one egg. I scrimped and saved all for you!"

"Now that mom asks you for something, how can you be so heartless and refuse!"

"Do I really have to kneel before you’ll agree?"

The old lady’s tears flowed like a turned-on faucet, making Jiang Cheng curious.

Where did all those "tears" come from?

The bamboo weaving factory director felt dizzy from his mother’s tirade.

He’s been hearing this same speech for over thirty years!

"Mom—I earn a hundred and seven every month, and I give you ninety. Our family of four survives on just seventeen."

"Mom—I truly have tried my best!"

The crying old lady paid no mind, beating her chest as she continued to wail.

"You’re a big director lying to an old lady! I heard you just said you gave that vixen a thousand yuan!"

The old lady pointed sharply, directly at Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng laughed in anger.

They were here to collect their bonuses, and the bamboo weaving factory director had already mentioned the bonus amount.

Jiang Cheng had just agreed when the old lady barged in, wailing her head off without any regard.

Stepping forward, Jiang Cheng faced the accusation.

Director Lu: Blind, deserves to be scolded!

Director Lian: Insisting on dragging Jiang Cheng into this mess, serves them right, they have it coming!

"Mom! What nonsense are you talking about, they’re only here for their rightful bonus!"

The bamboo weaving factory director explained with a grim expression, but the old lady refused to relent, shouting, "Oh, life is so bitter for me..."

"If life is bitter, blame your husband."

"Are you the only person in your family? Is your husband blind, handicapped, unable to do anything?"

"Whining here all day long like an adult blaming an infant for its misfortunes, you must be out of your mind!"

From the moment Jiang Cheng spoke, it was clear what they were dealing with.

The piercing truth left the old man, who had been maintaining a long face of forced dignity, unable to keep the facade.

"Young lady, watch your words."

Jiang Cheng glanced over, letting out a cold snort.

"Watch for what? Watch you being disrespectful, pretending seniority, acting shameless, and being unethical in old age!"

The sharp intonation echoed crisply within the room. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

A unanimous feeling of satisfaction welled up among the surrounding colleagues!

That pair of parents always came to make a scene for the director!

Today, it was about a bicycle for the home, tomorrow about adding a radio.

Lately, it become even more preposterous... they were insisting the director finance houses and weddings for two younger brothers.

They’d seen biased parents, never ones who took it to such extremes.

The old man’s brow furrowed under Jiang Cheng’s rebuke, glaring at Jiang Cheng threateningly: "What’s it to you? Youngsters shouldn’t do annoying things."

Jiang Cheng rolled her eyes, letting out an exaggerated chortle.

"As if being liked by you could elevate my life to a higher plane!"
