After Swapping Marriages to Wed a Military Officer, the Delicate Stepmother Won Big

[Alternate Era + Military Marriage + Child-Rearing + Island Cuisine]

In her past life, Shen Li married a poor intellectual with two kids while her sister, Shen Mengyue, married a military off...

Chapter 121

When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong!

"Really?" Shen Li looked at Liu Yan meaningfully, "Are you willing to work here?"

"I'd like to! I'm not financially well off lately, and my family is short of money too... Please let me stay here and work, and I promise to do my job well." Liu Yan said sincerely.

Shen Li narrowed her eyes slightly.

It’s a problem. It’s definitely a problem.

This Liu Yan had been against her time and again, and before she could even cause trouble for Liu Yan, Liu Yan had already run into the muzzle of the gun.

This was the last chance she gave Liu Yan.

If Liu Yan really wants to do something, don't blame her.

"Okay, then you can stay in the kitchen and work hard." Shen Li said, "We are short of manpower now, so you can go to the mountain with your sisters-in-law to pick yellow peaches."

"Can I do it in the house? I can can the food." Liu Yan said, as if she was afraid that Shen Li would discover her intention. She continued, "It's really too hot outside..."

Zhang Ye couldn't stand it any longer. She put on rubber gloves and sat beside a large basin, scrubbing the yellow peaches she had picked. "What's wrong? Are you here to work or enjoy yourself? So many sisters-in-law are picking fruits outside, and they don't complain about the heat. What's wrong? You are the only one who is spoiled!"

"That's right. If you want to make money, then don't complain about the heat and work hard. How can it be cool in this weather? It's cooler to lie down at home! If you feel hot, then go home and lie down!" The other sisters-in-law also started to mock.

"It's so funny. You want to make money but don't want to suffer. Where in the world can you find such a good thing? Then you should just lie down at home!"

Seeing everyone laughing at her, Liu Yan was so angry that her eyes turned red.

"I'll pick it. I'll pick it, okay?" Liu Yan gritted her teeth in anger.

This group of people are all snobbish and opportunistic. Before Shen Li came to the island, everyone liked her very much, but everything changed since Shen Li came. Everyone revolved around Shen Li and worshipped her as a god. Now they are isolated one by one and targeting themselves. Everyone avoids her and keeps a distance from her.

On this island, I have become the hated of everyone.

What the hell are these people!

Wait until this cannery goes bankrupt and can no longer operate, and these people will lose their job to make money, then they will behave themselves!

And this Shen Li... When something goes wrong in the canning factory, Shen Li, as the first person in charge, will bear the brunt of the consequences and will definitely not be able to escape responsibility...

Liu Yan could imagine that Shen Li was arrested by the police and taken to the police station to work on a sewing machine.

In order to wait for Shen Li's fate, she felt that it was okay for her to suffer a little.

"Okay!" Liu Yan gritted her teeth, "I'll do it!"

"It just so happens that there are a bunch of peaches ripening on the hill behind. Go pick them." Shen Li said, "Be quick. I'm still waiting to can them."

With more and more large iron pots, the fruit is becoming less and less sufficient.

"Got it." Liu Yan gritted her teeth and walked out the door.

"You're just going to pick up cans with nothing in your hands?" Shen Li laughed out loud, her eyes a little cold, "Don't you have any common sense? At least you should bring a sack with you."

Liu Yan had no choice but to find a sack and hold it in her palm. "Is this okay?"

"Okay, go ahead." Shen Li said calmly, "Remember to fill the sack and bring it back."

Now that free labor is here, why not use it?

"Am I going to pick peaches alone? No one is going with me?" Liu Yan looked around and said with a frown.

"Don't you see that we are all busy? Of course you are the only one who is going, what are you planning?" One of the sisters-in-law sneered, "Are you really blind or are you pretending to be blind? Don't you see that we are all busy? You are the only one who has nothing to do, who else should go to pick the fruits?"

"But if it's full, how can I carry such a big sack back?" Liu Yan was very angry. This was clearly a way to make things difficult for her!

"You ask us, who should we ask? Why don't you carry the peaches back with your hands and feet? Besides, peaches are not heavy. We carried so many of them, but why can't you carry them with your shoulders or hands? You came to this factory to work and earn money, not to be a queen and enjoy life!"

"That's right. What's the matter? If you don't want to work, then get out. I asked you to do so much work and yet you have to make so many troubles. If you don't want to do it, there are people here who are competing for work!" Another sister-in-law rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction and said in a cold voice.

There is a limit on the canned food orders of more than 100,000. Whoever works longer will get more money. If Liu Yan works as a part-time worker here, doesn't it mean that they will earn less money?

God knows how much these women who turn their palms upward and ask men for money desire a job of their own so that they can earn money with their own hands. But they also know that it is impossible for them to earn money like ordinary women while accompanying their children on the island. So when they learned that they could make money in the canning factory on the island, they were so happy and excited.

No matter how hard or tiring the work is, they won't complain. As long as they can make money, what does it matter if they work a little harder or are a little more tired?

But in the end, Liu Yan came and kept complaining and procrastinating, refusing to work. Is she more coquettish than others?

"A maid's body wants to be the lady's life? It's really funny." Everyone laughed.

Liu Yan's teeth were grinding with anger, and his face was turning blue and red. "Okay, I'll go! Shen Li, don't forget to pay me!"

Liu Yan heard that Shen Li paid them based on hourly wages.

Since he was here and ready to work, why didn't he want to be paid? After he got some salary, he would find the right opportunity to take action against the canning factory.

When something goes wrong in this canning factory, she will see if these people will still laugh at her and look down on her so arrogantly. Then she will see if Shen Li will still be so arrogant!

She wanted to send Shen Li to jail herself and let Shen Li spend the rest of her life there!

Just like that, Liu Yan walked out angrily carrying a sack.

"What kind of work is it to work without work? I'm really speechless."

The big guy said disdainfully.

"I don't think she's here to work. She's here to cause trouble. I guess she won't be able to continue working and will leave soon."

"It's just right that you left! The extra work can be evenly distributed to us hardworking people! It just so happens that we are hardworking and have little energy!" The sisters-in-law laughed.

"Okay, ignore her and let's get on with our work." Shen Li smiled and continued to instruct the chef to cook the canned food.

"You should put more sugar in this."

"Your fire is too low. Turn it up a bit."

"You need to stir faster and be careful not to mushy the pulp."

Shen Li looked at the kitchen and gave instructions seriously.

She knew that Liu Yan would never be left alone.

She wanted to see what Liu Yan was trying to do.
