Volume 1 Chapter 10 Finding a job, buying a job

"I have something to say." Under the pressure of her mother, Sheng Wanyan silently raised her paws.

"What is it?"

Father Sheng really dotes on his daughter. Although Mother Sheng often scolds her, she knows that she is the one she loves the most in her heart.

She was afraid that she would be spoiled, and it was like a rope pulling her, afraid that she would destroy herself.

Sheng Wanyan wiped her mouth and talked about work.

"I found out about a job today, and someone is selling it for 300 yuan."

When the Sheng family heard that there was work to do, they immediately stopped eating and listened to her attentively.

"What kind of work? Can it be done right away?"

"It's a job at the publicity department of the cotton mill. I heard that she's pregnant and wants to be sold."

When Mr. Sheng heard this, he asked Mrs. Sheng to take out the money from home without saying a word.

"Just money?"

Mother Sheng narrowed her eyes and looked at Sheng Wanyan, and Sheng Wanyan felt so scared.

"There are still 50 jin of fine grains. If there is no grain, it will cost 400 yuan."

When Sheng's mother heard what she said, she wanted to slap her for not telling her about such a big thing.

how?

Want to prepare it yourself?

Where does she go to prepare?

Do you think she is a waste as a mother?

What if she loses her job because she can't collect 50 kilograms of fine grain?

The little bitch will make her angry! !

"When will you need it over there?"

"The day after tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon."

When Sheng's mother heard this, she immediately took out the money at home, counted it and gave it to her in the amount of 300 yuan.

"I will find a way to get the food tomorrow. You can take the money first."

Just as Sheng Wanyan was about to ask something, Grandma Sheng grabbed her hand and motioned for her to do as Mother Sheng said.

Sheng Wanyan nodded and took the money. She would find a way to subsidize the family when the time comes.

If she asked her family to borrow it, she was afraid that Sheng's mother would really beat her tonight.

That night, Sheng's mother was thinking about how to get food for her daughter, as this was a major matter that would affect her daughter's future.

"Wife, why did you let your daughter take the money first? Aren't you afraid of being cheated?"

Sheng's mother rolled her eyes at her. She said that she had been looking for jobs recently, so how could she not know about the cotton mill.

It’s just that I’ve never had any access to this opportunity before, and my daughter just happened to have this luck, so I must seize it.

"It's better to be early than late. I'm just afraid something might go wrong."

"Take a day off tomorrow and go to the nearby countryside to see if you can buy some fine grains."

"I'll buy it on the black market!"

When Mr. Sheng heard what she said, he gave her a thumbs up and said that his wife was wise.

The next day, Sheng's father and mother went out early. Sheng Wanyan took the money over first as requested by Sheng's mother.

The old lady was stunned when she saw her. She didn't expect that she would come to her house today.

"Girl, what are you doing?"

The old lady knew what she was holding when she saw it, but she didn't expect her to be so fast.

"Auntie, this is given to you by my niece. They want the job."

"Give me the money today and bring me the food tomorrow."

Sheng Wanyan stuffed three pounds of pork and 20 eggs into her hands. When the old lady saw this, she quickly pulled her into the house.

"Sister, your niece is a decisive person."

"I heard last night that someone had already snatched up the job."

"You're here just in time. I'll take you to see him."

After hearing this, Sheng Wanyan couldn't help but think that her mother was smart. If she hadn't come today, she might have lost the job.

"Thank you, ma'am."

The old lady waved her hand. She also wanted to establish a good relationship with this girl so that it would be easier for her to buy food in the future.

I didn't expect that this girl was so polite and would come to my house with gifts to express her gratitude.

A pound of meat is very precious nowadays, and now three pounds came at once. It would be strange if she wasn't tempted.

The old lady took Sheng Wanyan to the sixth floor and knocked on a family's door.

When Sheng Wanyan entered, she saw a woman with a big belly sitting on a stool, with an old lady and a young man next to her.

They should be the family that came to inquire about the job, but she saw that the pregnant woman didn't look well.

I think the deal has not been reached, but as long as it has not been reached, there is still a chance.

"You guys go back first, I'll think about it."

The pregnant woman ordered them to leave, so the mother and child had to leave first.

"Then think about this carefully."

The pregnant woman nodded, watched the mother and child leave, and asked Sheng Wanyan and the others to sit down.

"Auntie, what is this?"

"Sister Wu, this girl is here to buy a job."

The old lady held up three fingers and told her the price.

The pregnant woman breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, as the mother and son just now also came to buy jobs.

Her son was 20 years old and was going to be sent to the countryside, so he hurriedly found her and asked for a job.

It was originally agreed that the food would be sold for 400 yuan, but in the end they offered her a lower price.

Talking about going from 400 to 200 is really wishful thinking.

"Girl, do you know my price?"

The pregnant woman who sells jobs has also seen many people buying jobs in the past few days.

Either there is a problem with prices or there is a problem with food.

Everyone wanted to take advantage of her. Her monthly salary from that job was only 20 yuan, and she also had receipts.

It’s not too much for her to offer three or four hundred yuan. This is a stable job, okay?

"I know. My niece is already preparing food."

"Here is 300 yuan. I'll give it to you first."

"If it's convenient for you, I'll have my niece bring food to you tomorrow."

When Sheng Wanyan said this, the pregnant woman also understood what she meant.

What I mean is that I will hand over my work to her niece tomorrow.

"Okay, tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, ask your niece to wait for me at the entrance of the tube building."

Sheng Wanyan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. The job was finally settled.

"Okay, my niece's name is Sheng Wanyan. I'll ask her to wait for you at the door tomorrow."

Sheng Wanyan specially wrote down her name for her, fearing that she would recognize the wrong person tomorrow.

"Okay." The pregnant woman took the money, agreed on a time with her, and then sent her out.

"Auntie, thank you so much this time."

Sheng Wanyan felt that this lady was quite kind-hearted and she owed her a favor.

"Sister, you gave me a gift, don't mention it again."

The aunt whispered this in her ear, saying it would be bad if other people knew about this.

What's more, she accepted Sheng Wanyan's gift, she was being petty.

So it would be best if this matter just passed, no one mentioned it, and just pretend nothing happened.

No one should hold any evidence against the other, and just do business with each other in the future.

Sheng Wanyan nodded when she heard her words. This lady was a wise person.

Sheng Wanyan wanted to go to the black market, but when she looked at the time, it was already noon.

We can only wait until the afternoon. After all, Mr. and Mrs. Sheng are likely to go to the black market to buy food today.

She had to go to the black market and ask Sheng's mother to buy fine grains.

Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng must be waiting for her news at home, so she hurried back home.

As expected, as soon as she entered the door, Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng nervously grabbed her hand and asked about the situation.
