Hey?

That's absolutely brilliant.

Ye Yun was furious.

"What? You and your wife are out here, so someone will take care of the kids at home?"

"Don't you still have your parents at home?"

Upon hearing this, the person on the other end grabbed the receiver and argued vehemently, "Why not just leave the kids with their grandparents? We parents naturally want to earn as much money as possible!"

Ye Yun laughed when she heard this.

"Oh, if we left you at home, you'd starve to death along with your parents. But if you come out with your wife, your parents will suddenly know how to cook again? What? Do your parents need you to activate their survival skills? Is your whole family counting on your wife to live?"

"Hey! How dare you talk like that, Qin family's daughter-in-law?"

The person on the other side was also unhappy.

"Qin family daughter-in-law, don't forget, you begged us to go to the city to work. I heard everything from your aunt. You have a factory but no workers. You lose money every day you're idle. We're going to help you out and put out your fire. Don't be ungrateful!"

"Oh right, right, you guys have amazing skills, I need you to put out my fire!"

Ye Yun didn't hold back either, and immediately started to mock:

"Pah! Stop being so self-righteous. This factory is mine. I can earn as much money in a day if I'm not here. It's up to you whether your wives come or not. If you don't come, I'll save myself some trouble. I don't even need you!"

She was about to hang up after she finished speaking.

She shouldn't have made that call; she should have just recruited someone from the city.

Originally, I thought that many people in Heishui Village had helped the Qin family before, such as Aunt Tian who often took care of them. On another level, I also wanted to take these women out of the mountains to see the world.

Who would have thought that they'd encounter these scoundrels who weren't just after their money!

There are also some women who are useless.

She had just overheard several women on the phone supporting their man's decision, assuming that she and Qin Zheng desperately needed their help, and that they were threatening her along with their man.

Each and every one of them is so greedy that they can't keep up their ambitions. They deserve to be stuck in the mountains for the rest of their lives!

Ye Yun was furious at the incompetent yet arrogant men, angry at the short-sighted women who followed the men blindly, and couldn't help but feel sorry for the women who were forced to stay in the mountains.

Just before hanging up, she finally picked up the phone again, held it to her ear, and gritted her teeth as she spoke to Qin Xiang'e:

"Auntie, let me tell you, it's impossible for them to bring their men to work in the city!"

“I don’t give men any work here, and even if I did, it wouldn’t be for those who are lazy and cunning.”

"Of course, I'm not saying that men can't come to the city. I can't control their movements. It's just that I don't need them here. If they and their wives can find work and make their own contributions in the city, I will naturally support them."

"But I only need hardworking and capable women here; others are out of the question!"

"If after hearing what I've said, there are still people who are willing to come and work here, write them down and have them take a bus to the garment factory address I gave you first thing tomorrow morning. Those who don't want to go can stay in the mountains!"

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

Everyone could hear the anger in her voice, and even the usually lively Tian Xiaohui shrank behind the counter, not daring to utter a sound.

Tian Xiaohui wondered if her brother was among those men who were making a fuss about not letting women go out.

Yesterday, after Ye Yun called the village to recruit people, she secretly got up again last night to call her brother and urge him to make sure her sister-in-law signed up to come to the city to earn money.

Her sister-in-law had a job in town, working as a waitress in a private restaurant.

A monthly salary of eight yuan is not bad in a small town, but it is far inferior to thirty yuan in the city.

Her brother's income is not high either.

Construction teams don't have work every day. When there's a lot of work, they can earn a dozen or so yuan a month, but when there's little work, they can't even earn as much as her sister-in-law.

She figured there were many jobs in the garment factory, and there would always be some that required physical strength from men.

Once her brother arrives, Ye Yun can assign him any job, which would be better than earning just a few dollars a month at home.

However, she didn't ask her brother to threaten Ye Yun into doing work by threatening to prevent her sister-in-law from coming out.

No way, no way.

Her brother can't be that stupid, right?

Tian Xiaohui huddled behind the counter, not daring to utter a sound, and secretly peeked at Ye Yun with her big, bell-like eyes.

Gu Jin nudged her arm and asked with her eyes: Why are you being so well-behaved today?

Tian Xiaohui glanced at him silently.

Fearing Ye Yun's dislike, she even made a slight eye roll at Gu Jin.

"Honey, don't be angry." Qin Zheng poured a cup of hot water and placed it in Ye Yun's hands to warm them.

When Ye Yun was angry, the only one who dared to approach her was Qin Zheng.

To be precise, Ye Yun didn't get angry very often; she was always relaxed, easygoing, and easy-going.

This time, I was really angered by those men.

Who is it?

They are all useless, stuck in a quagmire, and lack ambition!

It's one thing for them to suffer themselves, but they also drag their wives down with them. They know their wives have opportunities to have a better life, but they insist on keeping them in the mire, making them suffer with them!

They, on the other hand, swaggered around in the mud with a clear conscience, continuing to act like local tyrants.

It's truly... a tragedy of our times.

Ye Yun took a deep breath and lowered her head to drink some warm water from her cup.

A slight sweetness spread from the tip of her tongue, and she couldn't help but be taken aback, looking at Qin Zheng with a hint of surprise.

"Did you add sugar?"

Qin Zheng grinned, scratched the back of his head slightly embarrassed, and said, "I added a little bit, just to make you happy."
