Chapter 242 Let go
Li Luo didn't expect that Ling Zhuolin would actually come up with this idea and ask him to introduce her to a job. Ling Zhuolin had never mentioned anything about wanting to work before.
It seems that her life has become difficult since Ling Zhuoqun cut off her pocket money.
Moreover, when Ling Zhuolin came today, she was not wearing any makeup, and the clothes she wore were all outdated styles. Ling Zhuolin was not like this when we usually saw her.
It seems that the edges and corners of life have finally smoothed out Ling Zhuolin's sharpness.
"The clothing store is now fully staffed. My two younger sisters and Sister Liu from our village all work there. They get paid. I go over to take a look occasionally, but I don't get paid."
Ling Zhuolin was shocked when she heard this. Why did Li Luo always take all the good things for her family? She just wanted Li Luo to give her a job, but Li Luo was making excuses. It was a waste of her helping her with the wedding.
Moreover, Li Luo actually chose an outsider and didn't even intend to give her a job. How could she swallow this?
"Sister-in-law, we are a family. You gave all the jobs to others. Why don't you care about my sister's life or death?" Ling Zhuolin's words were full of reproach.
"Oh? Xiaolin, what you mean is that no matter who comes to me for a job, I have to agree, and they have to inform you, right?" Li Luo raised his eyebrows.
Ling Zhuolin frowned slightly. That was not what she meant. Li Luo had misunderstood her. At least when looking for a job, one should consider family members first. If family members don't want the job, it's not impossible to give it to other people!
But as a family member, how could she swallow the fact that Li Luo didn't even inform her?
"Sister-in-law, I think I'm not bad, why don't you let me try working in a clothing store? Look, your clothing store has been smashed, it's obviously caused by poor supervision. If it were me, I would live in the store and see who dares to smash the store!"
"Xiao Lin, you misunderstood. The store was smashed when no one was there. It has nothing to do with anyone's poor supervision. Besides, you probably haven't heard that there are surveillance cameras in clothing stores."
"Surveillance?" Ling Zhuolin didn't know what surveillance was.
"It's a video that can record all of a person's movements." Li Luo explained roughly.
"Sister-in-law, apart from this work matter, can we not pursue the matter of Tiesuan smashing the store? You see, Aunt Wang is old and she only has one son. If he goes to jail, who will support them?"
"I didn't expect Xiaolin to care so much about Aunt Wang's family. If you don't know, you might think Aunt Wang is Xiaolin's relative. But sister-in-law is not an unreasonable person. If you want sister-in-law to forgive them, it's not impossible."
"As long as I can compensate the clothing store for all its losses, I will go to the police station to withdraw the case myself. I won't cause any trouble for the public."
"It's just a few pieces of clothing, right? They won't cost more than a few dozen yuan. When I was a kid, I ate at Aunt Wang's house, and Aunt Wang never cared about these things. Now we're asking for money, and we're asking for hundreds of yuan. How can this be appropriate?"
"Isn't this pushing people into a desperate situation?" Ling Zhuolin strongly disapproved of Li Luo's approach.
"Aunt, each piece of clothing in that clothing store costs ten yuan, and the embroidery on the clothes is also sewn by my mother herself. Each piece is unique." Ling Xiaoguang explained to Ling Zhuolin.
After hearing what Ling Xiaoguang said, Ling Zhuolin's eyes widened: "How much? Ten yuan for a piece of clothing! This is equivalent to a person's monthly salary. Who is so rich that he can buy such expensive clothes?"
"Sister-in-law, are you robbing me?" Ling Zhuolin said in horror.
"My clothes are worth the price. They are all handmade. They are slow and meticulous work."
After hearing what Li Luo said, Ling Zhuolin continued to be shocked in her heart. No wonder Li Luo could open a clothing store, it turned out that all the money was earned by dirty means!
"Even if they are handmade, your clothes are too expensive. How can the cost be so high? I think a total compensation of one hundred yuan is enough." Li Luo was amused by Ling Zhuolin's logic. So in the end, Ling Zhuolin played the good guy and forgave Aunt Wang's family on her behalf?
Li Luo didn't owe any favors to the Wang family, and the money belonged to the store and had little to do with Li Luo himself.
"Those are all batches of goods that need to be delivered to the school. They all have owners. There are hundreds of pieces of clothing. You say you can just give them away for free?"
"What else do you want to do? We are all from the same village. You send this one in today and that one in tomorrow. Do you still want to stay in this village? You want to destroy all your brother's good relationships, right?"
"Aunt! What are you saying? Why didn't you comfort mom when she was wronged, but instead asked her to forgive the robber?" Ling Xiaoguang ran to Ling Zhuolin and said with a cold face.
"It's only natural to pay back debts. This is what our father taught us!" Ling Xiaolei also followed behind his brother, poking his little head out and spoke.
Originally, Li Luo didn't want to let the children get involved in these things, but even if he didn't say anything, he couldn't resist the gossips, so Da Mao and Xiao Mao knew about these things to some extent.
So now, the two brothers stood by Li Luo and spoke for Li Luo.
"You two little brats, why are you meddling in what the adults are talking about?" Ling Zhuolin became anxious and tapped the two little guys' heads and pushed them back.
"Aunt, you are old, but you can't be unreasonable. The person who made the mistake should apologize sincerely, instead of being more righteous than the person who was wronged."
"My mother accidentally got my notebook wet before. After that, she not only bought me two more notebooks, but also went to school to explain to the teacher that it was her fault that my homework was damaged."
"She tried her best to make up for her mistakes, but she didn't force us to forgive her."
"You are speaking in favor of outsiders like this. Aren't you making your mother feel even more wronged?" Ling Xiaoguang's little mouth chattered and he spoke very logically.
Ling Zhuolin didn't know how to start talking for a moment. After all, in her current posture, she was actually pressing Li Luo's head and asking Li Luo to accept the other party's apology.
But after all, Aunt Wang has done me a favor, and I can't say anything to her.
"How about this, she will pay half of Aunt Wang's loss, and I will pay half. It will be considered as my repayment of Aunt Wang's kindness." Ling Zhuolin was silent for a long time before making this decision.
Li Luo didn't expect that Ling Zhuolin could do so much for Wang Xiumei. It seemed that Wang Xiumei had risked her life for Ling Zhuolin in her entire life.
"As long as you can convince Aunt Wang and you are willing to pay it back, why shouldn't I accept it?" Li Luo chuckled twice. Did Ling Zhuolin think that Aunt Wang would really be willing to pay the money back just because of her two words?
If things were really that simple, Aunt Wang would have brought Li Tieshuan to solve the problem that very day.
Seeing Li Luo give in, Ling Zhuolin also breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to use this stupid method to solve the problem. Instead, she promised Aunt Wang that as long as she took action, Li Luo would give in.
