However, the subsequent development of the matter was beyond the expectations of the Ming couple.
Mingyue did follow them back.
Just when they contacted the buyer, oh no, the demolisher agreed on a time to view the house, the old leader of Ming's father's workplace called.
The old boss' tone was anxious and helpless: "Lao Ming, please come to the factory as soon as possible. Your daughter is crying and making a fuss here. It's not a good influence on the factory!"
Ming's father was stunned for a long time, then he remembered that they didn't see Mingyue when they went out today, but her bag was still there, so they didn't care where she went.
After hearing what the old leader said, Ming's father had nothing to understand. It turned out that Mingyue had gone to his workplace to make trouble.
"Damn it, how dare she do that?" Ming's father cursed, his face changed instantly, and he immediately went out to the factory.
As an old factory employee, Ming's father has now become a senior and is a well-known figure in the factory. Everyone who sees him has to call him Master.
Everyone in the factory knows that Master Ming has both a son and a daughter. It is said that the eldest daughter graduated from a prestigious school. Master Ming boasted about it a lot at the time.
However…
"I know, it's all my fault for not being reborn as a man. They used to ignore me and made me do all kinds of work. I even had to work part-time to earn my living expenses in college. I don't blame anyone because I'm just a daughter! But now that they have seen me grow up, they insist that I get married in exchange for a gift, or else they say I'm unfilial. They even went to my workplace to make trouble. Shouldn't a daughter be able to live? Shouldn't I sell myself for money for their son? I finally settled down, but now everything is ruined by them. Sometimes I wonder, am I their daughter or their enemy?"
In front of a group of workers, Mingyue cried with tears on her face, and even the tremor in her voice made people feel distressed.
Although Ming's father has taken leave these two days, everyone else in the factory is at work.
When Mingyue made such a fuss, all the employees in the factory came out to watch the fun.
When they heard what Ming's father had done, everyone started to whisper and rebuke Ming's father:
"How can Master Ming be such a person? Isn't his daughter his biological daughter? I don't understand."
"That's right. It's a new society now. Sons and daughters are the same. Look at what you've done to the girl."
"I thought only those in remote and poor villages would sell their daughters. I didn't expect Master Ming to be so stubborn. His family is not poor."
"She's so pitiful. I heard Master Ming say before that his daughter graduated from a prestigious university. At that time, he praised his daughter and said how proud she was. But in the end, he just pretended and didn't even give her living expenses. What a sin!"
"If I had such an excellent daughter, I would really want to hold her in my hands and cherish her. Isn't a little cotton jacket more fragrant than a leather jacket? This Master Ming is really hard to understand..."
In today's society, even if boys are favored over girls, many people will do some surface-saving work, pretending to be fair and treating sons and daughters the same. Only when it comes to money and actual property division, people will find out that they still favor boys over girls in their bones.
However, Ming's father's obvious preference for boys over girls, even selling his daughter to raise his son, was obviously not accepted by the public.
It was a good thing that no one found out, but once Mingyue revealed the truth, Ming's father suddenly became the target of public criticism and was looked down upon in the factory.
When Ming's father finally arrived at the factory, he was met with strange looks from his colleagues, and an old friend patted him on the shoulder and advised: "Ming, boys and girls are actually the same. You should change your old ideas."
Ming's father's eyes suddenly widened, and he gasped for breath with a stuffy chest. He loudly questioned his daughter: "Mingyue, what on earth did you say to them?"
When Mingyue saw Ming's father, she shrank back, with a fearful and evasive look on her face: "Dad, I, I didn't mean to make trouble. I just wanted to come to you and tell you that I don't want to marry in exchange for a gift. No, that's not right. I didn't say anything..."
Ming's father was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead. How could he not know that Mingyue did it on purpose? She even hadn't called him dad for a long time. She was just pretending.
But the employees in the factory didn't think so. They just thought that Master Ming must be very strict with his daughter. Look how scared the girl is.
"You actually came to the factory to make trouble, are you crazy? Ah?" Ming's father reached out to pull Mingyue's arm, gritting his teeth and said, "Come back with me, and I'll show you how I'll deal with you when we get back."
Mingyue's expression was even more frightened, and her body was trembling.
In the eyes of onlookers, they thought that she must have been beaten up by Ming's father frequently, so her body was shaking reflexively.
Some kind-hearted people could not help but come to persuade Ming's father:
"Master Ming, please talk to the child nicely. Look how scared the child is."
"That's right. Why can't we talk it out calmly? Why are you being so mean to the child?"
"Children are all debts, just give them up, she didn't say anything."
"Yes, Master Ming, you too..."
However, after hearing these words, Ming's father's face became uglier and uglier, and the anger in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
Amidst the many voices criticizing him, Ming's father finally couldn't help but roared, "Alright, this is our family affair, what does it have to do with you?"
Now the whole scene became quiet.
Seeing Ming's father coming, the factory director who was in charge of the situation came out of the office and shook his head immediately when he heard what Ming said. He gave Ming's father a cross in his heart, thinking that his emotional intelligence was too low and his words were too offensive.
Mingyue sneered in her heart when she saw this, but tears were already flashing in her eyes. She said to everyone with full of guilt: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for making dad too angry. He didn't mean it. If you want to blame someone, blame me."
But who would blame a poor little thing
So naturally everyone's disapproving gazes fell on Ming's father's face, tearing his stubborn desire to save face into pieces.
Even the factory manager told Ming's father to deal with his family affairs before coming back to work when he left the factory, saying that it was Mingyue who was causing trouble, which would not sound good and would affect the reputation of the factory.
Ming's father nodded gloomily, and in his heart he wished he could strangle Mingyue to death.
At this moment, Ming's father was really regretting his decision. If he had known that Mingyue followed him home this time to make trouble at the factory, he would rather not have gone to No. 7 Middle School.
Thinking about Mingyue's threat that they would make a scene every time, Ming's father felt like his head was aching, because he knew Mingyue could really do it.
At this time, he agreed very much with what his colleague had just said, that children are all debts, especially when there is a daughter with evil intentions.
Oh no, after returning home, Ming's father added, "I still have a son who is causing trouble."
