Chapter 67: The Employees’ Reactions to Elder Liu (1)
In Chen Meng’er’s house, Chen Meng’er and her father, Chen Ping, were not the only ones who were questioned by the villagers of the Chen family village. The other members of the family were also more or less questioned by the people around them. For example, when Chen Meng’er’s mother, Liu Juan, went out today, she was pulled by those aunties and uncles in the village to ask about the person who drove Chen Ping and Chen Meng’er back yesterday in a small car? What did it have to do with their family.
Even the children in the village also crowded around Chen Haoguo and Chen Haoxuan when they saw them today. They asked the two brothers with an envious look, whether they were comfortable in the car. And was the person who came to their house yesterday a relative of their family?
Anyway, in short, the news of Elder Liu sending Chen Ping and Chen Meng’er back to the village had spread throughout the village, and Chen Meng’er’s family had temporarily become the object of the Chen family village’s after-dinner conversation.
Chen Meng’er could not understand this. On the other hand, the rest of the family seemed to accept it well.
Elder Liu, on the other hand, did not know that his trip would cause such a big reaction in the village. After Elder Liu returned, he started to get busy.
He asked his employees what gifts he needed to prepare for his god-granddaughter. It was obvious that Elder Liu had asked the wrong people. His employees were all boorish, so how would they know about this? All of them scratched their heads in embarrassment, not knowing how to answer.
However, Elder Liu did not see that his employees were in a difficult position. He continued to stare at them, making his employees feel even more pressured. The words that almost came out of their mouths were, “We don’t know either.” Under Elder Liu’s pressuring gaze, they forcefully swallowed their words.
“Hey, Sir, it seems like you want to give them something more expensive.” A middle-aged scholar-like person had no choice but to stand up and say this under everyone’s expectant gazes.
“Right, right. Mr. Zhuge is right. It’s like a golden lock plate or something like that.” A fatty standing next to the middle-aged scholar-like Zhuge Yu, echoed.
“Fatty, this golden lock is a gift from someone else when their child is one month old. You can’t give it to them as a gift.” A skinny man with the exact opposite body shape to the fatty touched his chin and said to the fatty with a smile. “Ah, you damn skinny man. You only know how to challenge me. Why can’t you give them this golden lock? Just give them a heavier one.” It was unknown if the fatty and the skinny man were born to be at odds with each other, or something else. In any case, other than their body sizes, their personalities were also very different. This was why the two of them would always bicker whenever they had nothing to do.
When Elder Liu heard their conversation, he stroked his chin and said, “I pretty much know what to prepare.”
When the men present heard Elder Liu’s words, all of them revealed expressions of “Are you sure? Do you know what to prepare?” . Speaking of which, they didn’t even know what they should prepare.
Zhuge Yu thought for a moment, he said carefully, “Sir, I think you should go and ask others about this matter. It’s best to ask those who have acknowledged their godparents. They should know what to prepare.” The others also nodded in agreement.
Speaking of which, they didn’t dare to bear their employers anger, especially if they made their employer fail to acknowledge his god-granddaughter because of their suggestion. They couldn’t help but tremble at the thought of the punishment awaiting them.
“No need. I know what to do. I’ll go back now and write down what I need.” After saying that, Elder Liu left excitedly..
