Chapter 75: News of the Engagement

Several more villagers came to ask Granny Shen about the situation after Liu Yue left.

Some of them thought that Lu Lin and Chen Xiao Mi might have also heard the rumors about Chen Xiao Cai and Shen Chi in the village. They felt that it was not good for Shen Chi to stay in the store, so they fired Granny Shen and Shen Chi, and they were here to gloat.

Quite a few of them came to comfort Granny Shen, and the rest of them came to inquire for information about Granny Shen's 'old job'.

Not only Zhang Xiuhe wanted Granny Shen's job, but many villagers also wanted it.

"Granny, this Chen Xiao Mi is so cruel. After all, you've worked for them for so long. How can he just fire you like this?"

"No wonder Grandma Chen said that he was ferocious. You guys are old friends, yet her had the heart to just fire you like this..."

Granny Shen couldn't bear Zheng's nonsense gabble, she replied helplessly, "I wasn't fired. I just came back to deal with something."

"Of course you are! But what matter can it possibly be? " Zheng firmly believed that Granny Shen was too shy to admit that she was just fired.

"That Zhang Xiuhe is not a decent person, her embroidery skills are fine, but to be honest, there are a lot of people in the village who are good at embroidery. If it wasn't for the fact that she had a good brother, how could she replace you?"

Granny Shen was rendered speechless. Lu Lin had no intention to hire Zhang Xiuhe, yet the villagers started to buy the fake news already!

Granny Shen felt that this rumor might have been deliberately spread by Zhang Xiuhe. As time went by, more and more villagers might think that Lu Lin had agreed to hire Zhang Xiuhe. In this way, if Lu Lin refused to hire Zhang Xiuhe in the future, the villagers might think that Lu Lin was inconsistent in his words.

"I really don't think Lu Lin plans to replace me or recruit more people for the time being," Granny Shen said.

......

The village kids liked to hang out under the big tree at the entrance to their village to avoid summer heat.

"Ya, Shen Chi is back," Zhang Dabao said to Zhang Ya.

Zhang Ya nodded and said arrogantly, "Well, I heard that his grandmother was fired."

Previously, Lu Lin had rejected Zhang Ya's mother, Ma Shi, Zhang Ya had been holding a grudge since that.

The rumor about Chen Xiao Cai and Shen Chi was not cooked up by Ma Shi, but she had definitely fanned the fire abd spread the rumor.

Zhang Ya thought to herself: Granny Shen is getting senile. Shen Chi is a Bio, you can tell he isn't cut out for heavy work. It is normal that they get fired, it will be abnormal if they can keep their jobs for long.

"My mother and auntie sold embroidery products to Lu Lin and they have earned a lot of money. I heard that Granny Shen earned more." Da Bao added.

Zhang Ya pouted and thought to herself, " Granny Shen must have made a lot of money, that true. What's the point of earning so much? They have lost their jobs now! "

"Is Chen Xiao Cai really close to Shen Chi?"

"Of course. They used to play together!"

"It's just playing together."

......

Issuing a Betrothal Letter required a good matchmaker. Chen Xiao Mi asked Matchmaker Wang to do the honor.
