A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

215 Family Matters

As she spoke, she knelt down to Ning Yue, wanting to kowtow to her.

No matter how Ning Yue handled this matter later, Wang Jing was grateful to her from the bottom of her heart.

Ning Yue smiled and helped Wang Jing up.

“Don’t kneel to me. This is the brewery. It’s not right for you to do this. Go wash your face and then go back to work. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely settle it for you later.”

With that, Ning Yue returned to the office of the brewery. “Mother, and Aunts, I have something to tell you.”

Madam He and the others, who were originally busy, immediately stopped what they were doing when they heard Ning Yue’s words.

“Yueyue, what do you want to tell us?” Madam He looked at Ning Yue lovingly.

“It’s like this. We can’t reveal our monthly rewards. Just now, I met a girl…”

Ning Yue told the four of them what Wang Jing had just said.

When the four of them heard this, they were instantly furious. “What are her parents doing? If I had such an obedient daughter, I would definitely dote on her to the heavens.”

Madam Qu gritted her teeth. She had always wanted a daughter in her life. Unfortunately, her family only had Dalang and Erlang, so she especially doted on Second Brother’s Wumei and Fourth Brother’s Ning Yue.

“Isn’t that so? How can there be such parents? No, I have to talk to them!” Qin Shi said.

That family had a daughter and she couldn’t wait to dote on her. What was that family thinking? Their daughter was so capable and sensible, and they still treated her like this.

“No, Eldest Aunt and Second Aunt. We can’t go over like this. Let’s settle the matters here first and go after a few days. Otherwise, they’ll think that Wang Jing instigated us to go over. In that case, Wang Jing’s life might be even worse,” Ning Yue said.

In ancient times, the idea of men being superior to women was already deeply ingrained in people’s hearts. She had to fundamentally change these thoughts, not just say it on the surface.

“That’s true. We still have to discuss what to do. Let’s deal with the salary first,” Qin Shi said.

It was also from today onwards that the higher-ups of the brewery had an additional rule. They could not reveal the amount of money all the employees in the brewery deserved. Whoever said so would be fired.

As for Wang Jing, the five of them decided to visit her house in two days.

Two days later, Ning Yue, Madam He, and the others arrived at the Wang family.

Today was Wang Jing’s break. The Wang family asked Wang Jing to work in the fields, while Wang Jing’s brother sat at home eating and drinking.

“Is Wang Jing at home?” Madam Qu shouted when she arrived at the Wang family.

The Wang family immediately ran out to check on the situation and realized that the group of people who came were all dressed extraordinarily.

A smile immediately appeared on their faces, especially on Wang Jing’s stepmother’s. “Benefactors, are you here to look for Wang Jing? I wonder what she did wrong.”

Wang Jing’s stepmother’s first reaction was that Wang Jing had committed a crime outside and someone had come looking for her.

“No, I’m the boss of the brewery. Seeing that Wang Jing isn’t at work today, I specially came to see if anything had happened,” Ning Yue replied with a smile.

“Huh?” Madam Li was stunned. “Wang Jing said that she’s resting today.”

“Is she resting? Why don’t we know?” Ning Yue pretended not to know and looked at Madam He and the aunties.

“We don’t know either! Where’s Wang Jing? Why didn’t you let her out?” Madam He pretended to be angry and asked.

Madam Li was stunned. She remembered that today was Wang Jing’s day off. She had just asked Wang Jing to work in the fields. Why was the boss looking for her?

“Wait, Wang Jing is playing outside now. I’ll call her back now. What’s wrong with Wang Jing? How can she run out to play?”

As Madam Li spoke, she was about to run out when Ning Yue stopped her. “Auntie, wait. We’ll go with you. I want to see what Wang Jing is doing. We can’t come out to play during work hours. I have to educate her well.”

“No, I want to fire her!” Ning Yue pretended to be angry.

Madam Li was so anxious that she was about to cry. How could she be fired? Her son was about to marry a wife. If Wang Jing was fired, what would happen to her daughter-in-law’s betrothal money?!
