Chapter 26: Wei Yan Seeks Help

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After being reprimanded by a woman in front of everyone, even if Song Jin was the factory director’s wife, Wei Gang couldn’t hold it in anymore.

He cared a lot about his dignity, especially in front of women, let alone Li Hai and Wei Yan. These two had always been respectful to him. Now that he was being reprimanded in front of them, Wei Gang felt that his ego had been bruised. Ignoring Song Jin’s status, he immediately said, “What do you know? We men work hard outside every day. If it weren’t for us, there would be no family. Men are the pillars of the family. A family without men will be bullied!”

Upon hearing Wei Gang’s words, Song Jin became enraged.

Initially, she was just standing up for Li Hai, but now, Wei Gang had truly angered her.

He was very misogynistic. He looked down on women even when he needed them to take care of him.

Song Jin had a hot temper to begin with. Even though her husband was the factory manager, she had the final say at home. Moreover, Wei Gang was only her husband’s subordinate.

Song Jin said angrily, “What era are we in now? Your thoughts are actually so outdated and misogynistic. Do you think you’re worthy of being promoted? I think the entire factory will be led by you towards feudal and backwardness. The entire factory will be screwed!”

Hearing the word “promotion”, Wei Gang came to a realization. That’s right. His promotion had yet to be confirmed. If he offended Song Jin at this point, it would be equivalent to offending the factory manager and he wouldn’t be promoted.

Wei Gang’s anger immediately dissipated, or rather, he suppressed it.

He softened his tone slightly and said to Song Jin, “Sister-in-law, even if my attitude was a little bad today, it has nothing to do with the factory’s promotion, right? The factory’s promotion depends on how much effort I’ve put in over the years. I’ve always worked the most and am trusted by everyone. Sister-in-law, you won’t tattletale to the factory director, right?”

Even though he knew that he might offend Song Jin by saying this, Wei Gang had no choice but to say it now.

He could tell that Song Jin had a hot temper. After what he said, Song Jin definitely wouldn’t say anything in front of the factory manager.

Song Jin couldn’t help but roll her eyes and scold, “Do you think everyone else is as dirty-minded as you? When have I ever interfered in your factory’s matters? It’s a fact that there’s something wrong with your principles. Am I being a tattletale just by telling the truth?”

“Even if I don’t say anything, as long as the people in the factory aren’t blind, they won’t let a misogynistic man like you get promoted because you’re not worthy!”

“I think you only know how to bluff. Dilligent? Down-to-earth? Hardworking? You’re just spouting nonsense!”

Wei Gang’s face flushed, and his breathing became heavier. However, he knew that the more he said, the more agitated Song Jin would be. Hence, he simply turned around and left since he was unwilling to stay here anymore.

Seeing this, Li Lin was too ashamed to stay any longer and hurriedly left with Wei Gang.

After they left, Wei Yan began to feel afraid. Now that Wei Gang had been reprimanded in the shop, since he didn’t dare to argue with Song Jin, nor could he vent his anger elsewhere, he could only vent it on her and her mother.

She could imagine what kind of beating they would receive if they returned home today.

Perhaps it was because the panic and helplessness on her face were too obvious, Song Jin looked at Li Hai and Wei Yan apologetically. “I’m sorry. I just couldn’t control myself for a moment. I was very angry when I saw him shamelessly bring the mistress in front of you.”

“How can there be such a shameless person? Does he really think everyone in the world is a fool? He brought the mistress in front of you and insulted you. Li Hai, let me tell you, such a person can’t be tolerated. Although I was a little impulsive today, I don’t regret it.”

Wei Yan pursed her lips and sighed as she said bitterly, “Madam Song, I know you’re doing this for our own good. We don’t blame you, but Dad will definitely beat us up when he comes home today. Now that I think about it, I’m afraid. What should my mom and I do?”

Wei Yan cried and acted pitiful in front of Song Jin, but she was genuinely concerned about Li Hai.

Li Hai already felt terrible because of Wei Gang’s disrespect for her. In addition, Li Lin had been trying to snub her, making Li Hai feel humiliated.

Seeing Wei Yan cry, Li Hai couldn’t help but cry as well. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She felt heartbroken and distressed.
