Chapter 2410: Sever Ties

Old Madam Qian gave it some thought but felt that it was not worth it for her to give up. She could always pay back 50,000 dollars slowly. At most, she would make Qian’e pay for her. If she cut ties with Qian’e, then Qian’e would not be contributing any income to the Qian family anymore!

Qiao Mei continued, “You will at most live for another 30 years, that’s the age of the oldest person in our country. Let’s say Qian’e gives you 180 dollars every year. Even if we round it up to 200 dollars, the amount is 6,000 dollars after 30 years. How about this, I’ll ask Qian’e to give you a lump sum of 30,000 dollars in exchange for you signing a letter to sever ties with her. Otherwise, I’ll immediately demand payment for more than 50,000 dollars in medical fees from you.”

An amount of 30,000 dollars! Old Madam Qian had never dared to imagine that she could become one of those ten-thousand-dollar households! In this era, ten-thousand-dollar households were families of very capable people. For the ordinary folk, it was already considered a lot when a family had savings of around 300 dollars.

“Deal!” Old Madam Qian immediately said.

Qiao Mei took out the agreement and money that she had prepared long ago. She asked Qian’e to come in and sign the agreement with Old Madam Qian. When Qian’e saw the agreement in front of her, she felt a little emotional. She did not expect the Qian family to give her up for money, even if it was a good thing for her.

“Take the money and leave my sight. Don’t ever bother me anymore,” Qian’e said.

“Hmph, who cares about you.” Old Madam Qian quickly stuffed the money into her bag, afraid that Qiao Mei and Qian’e would go back on their word. After that, Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang carried Old Madam Qian out of the factory.

Qian’e sat on the sofa for a long time with the agreement in her hand.

“From a legal point of view, this agreement is invalid because no matter where you go, you’re still a member of the Qian family. When they become old, you still have an obligation to take care of them, but at least this agreement can save you a lot of trouble,” Qiao Mei said.

“An ending like this is already very good for me. Thank you,” Qian’e said.

Qiao Mei smiled happily and said, “You want to thank me? Then work hard for the rest of your life and work in my company for the rest of your life!”

“Sure, sure, sure!” Qian’e said with a smile.

Following this saga, Qiao Mei had a detailed discussion with Qian’e about the upcoming arrangements in the factory. Qian’e had a unique perspective when it came to doing business, but she did not have the ability to take charge well. She still needed Qiao Mei to guide her on many things.

Yet this was already a huge improvement from the Qian’e of the past. Who would have thought that the Qian’e, who had been deceived by her husband and lost her child, would be doing so well now?

“Alright, I won’t chat anymore. If anyone in the factory deserves to be fired, just do it. You only need to give them more compensation. Otherwise, you may get fights and people causing trouble every day and also security officers who neglect their duties. Do we want the factory to be operating well or not?” Qiao Mei said resignedly.

“I understand! I’ll draw up a list immediately!” Qian’e said.

Qian’e was just too soft-hearted and could not bear to fire those long-time employees. However, there were some people who did not work hard enough to justify their monthly pay and bonuses. Their existence also meant that the younger staff members did not have the chance to show their worth. This would make it very difficult for the factory to continue to do well.

“I’m going home to take care of the children. You have to handle these things yourself. Remember to transfer the 30,000 dollars to my account!” Qiao Mei said as she hurriedly picked up her bag.

Qian’e rolled her eyes and looked at Qiao Mei speechlessly. Qiao Mei was really a big fan of money! She had thought that Qiao Mei would be generous enough to pay this sum of money for her!

As soon as Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe got home, they heard Xia Yang crying non-stop. His face was all red from crying and he even had a slight fever.

“What’s wrong? Is he hungry?” Qiao Mei asked as she picked Xia Yang up from Feng Hua’s arms.

Ever since Xia Yang was kidnapped, he had been very afraid of not getting to eat. Every time he was hungry, he would cry loudly. Qiao Mei’s heart ached for Xia Yang, but she did not have any good solutions to Xia Yang’s psychological problems. She could only ensure that he was fed his milk on time.

“I’ve fed him milk on time and I’ve also changed my clothes, but he still doesn’t stop crying. I’ve already called Doctor Xia Fang. She’s on her way here,” Feng Hua said anxiously.

It was influenza season now, so Feng Hua did not dare to rashly bring Xia Yang out. She could only ask Xia Fang to come to the house to check on Xia Yang.

Qiao Mei sang a nursery rhyme for Xia Yang and he stopped crying instantly. He grabbed Qiao Mei’s clothes with his small hands and refused to let go. Everyone looked at Xia Yang quietly and did not even dare to breathe loudly.

“He stopped crying…” Xia Zhe muttered softly.

“This child is so young, yet he is able to recognize people,” Feng Hua said in surprise.

Ordinarily, children would only be able to recognize people at four to five months old. At that time, they would want to stay by the side of someone they were familiar with. Xia Yang was only about two months old, but he could already differentiate the people around him.

“The children in our family all blossom very young. What a smart child. It really almost scared me to death. I thought he’s sick!” Feng Hua sat on the chair and heaved a sigh of relief.

“That’s true but even Xia Fan and the other children did not blossom so early. Xia Yang is even more clever than his siblings!” Qiao Mei said with a laugh.
